Zuo Liangyu pulled out the camp from Wuyang County and marched rapidly in the drizzle for two days before the team arrived at the junction of Wuyang and Yuncheng.

Not long after his men and horses were defeated in Zhuxian Town, their morale was already low, and now they have been gone for two days, and the soldiers are cold and hungry, and they are already exhausted.

"Dashuai, it's raining, can Inspector Sun's strategy be implemented smoothly?" Zuo Liangyu's subordinate Jin Shenghuan, riding on a war horse, watched the soldiers struggling to move forward in the mud, and couldn't help frowning slightly, a little worried about the situation in Xiangcheng.

"I think it's a little hanging, I'm afraid the odds are not high!" Li Guoying, another general, looked up at the sky, not as worried as Jin Shenghuan, and said casually: "In this weather, firearms can't be used, which is more beneficial to the thieves, and I think even if you win, it will be a miserable victory." ”

A large group of generals behind Zuo Liangyu, except for Jin Shenghuan who was killed after the Qing Dynasty, such as Li Guoying, Xu Yong, and Hao Xiaozhong all made great contributions to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and their descendants successfully became banner citizens and lived a parasitic life of not producing and sucking people's blood.

In history, when Zuo Mengeng surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he contributed 15 general officers, 100 generals, and 100,000 troops to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and a large group of traitors. On the "Biography of Erchen", there are several traitors from the left army, if you count those who are not enough, the left army in the late Ming Dynasty traitor team, not to mention competing with the gang in Liaodong, at least has to occupy a 10% share, Li Guoying, Xu Yong, Hao Xiaozhong alone, at least helped the Manchus occupy a province.

After listening to Li Guoying's words, the generals couldn't help but nod their heads, in fact, they didn't really want to suppress any bandits.

Xu Yong took over the conversation and looked at Zuo Liangyu, a little worried about the safety of the people, afraid that if Sun Chuanting was defeated, they plunged into the arms of the intruding army, "Dashuai, are we cautious, stop and wait for a while, and then kill when we have the exact news." ”

Zuo Liangyu is seven feet tall, a red-faced man, and he doesn't know how to read, but he has a lot of bad ideas. He was wearing iron armor, a phoenix-winged helmet, and a red cloak, riding in front of the team, listening to the discussions of his subordinates, but he shook his head, "It is inconvenient to camp in the wilderness here, so it is better to wait until you arrive in Yuncheng and send a detailed investigation to investigate." ”

Saying that, he grabbed the reins of the horse, turned his head and comforted the generals: "You don't have to worry, we go over this time, if Sun Chuanting wins, we will immediately pounce, if we don't win, then it's not too late for us to retreat." ”

When many generals of the Left Army heard him say this, they all relaxed and laughed one after another: "It's still the marshal who thinks it through!" ”

Zuo Liangyu and his gang have become warlords and tumors of the Ming Dynasty, they have long lost the righteousness in their hearts, and they have no feelings for their family and country, they only value their own interests and the future of the entire Left Army, as for the Ming Dynasty, they actually don't care much.

At this time, Li Guoying got closer to Zuo Liangyu, and lowered his voice a little melancholy: "Dashuai, the last general still feels that Dashuai doesn't need to go north at all to come to this troubled water." The last general said something rebellious, and the court was also very jealous of the marshal, and if Li Zicheng failed, I am afraid it would be unfavorable to the marshal. ”

Zuo Liangyu's department has done a lot of bad things, and the court is tolerating it now because Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are there, and the court can't do anything about him, but once the thief is destroyed and the court frees up, then it's time to deal with him.

Zuo Liangyu's face sank, he understood what Li Guoying meant, but he also had his reasons for deciding to go north.

Zuo Liangyu clamped the horse's belly and explained: "It is precisely because of this that we need to go north. In this battle, if Sun Chuanting really defeated Li Zicheng, if Ben Shuai did not participate, the situation would be very dangerous. ”

As soon as he said this, Li Guoying understood, "Is the marshal afraid of being held by the imperial court?" ”

After hearing this, Hao Xiaozhong on the side interjected: "What is the marshal afraid of the court? Last time we retreated, the court didn't do anything to us. Although it is said that the officers are cut, we still lead the troops, which is actually the same as no punishment. ”

Xu Yong nodded, "The imperial court has a false name now, as long as there are soldiers, the imperial court will not dare to do anything to us!" ”

"That was before!" Zuo Liangyu waved his hand, "If Sun Chuanting loses this time, no matter what Ben Shuai does, the court can't help me, but if Sun Chuanting wins and exterminates Li Zicheng, then without the containment of thieves, it is not impossible for the court to want to be Ben Shuai." ”

Zuo Liangyu's actions were enough for the court to kill him ten times, and the reason why he didn't die was because he understood the ultimate mystery of survival in troubled times, knew how to be a mercenary self-respecter, pinched the weakness of the Ming Dynasty, and took soldiers with him everywhere, and easily did not leave the army, unlike He Renlong, who was not as careless, and the court had no chance to kill him if he wanted to.

However, he can be a mercenary soldier, mainly because of Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng's generation, if Li Zicheng fails, then he will be in danger, so he has to rush to show it, so that the court has no excuse to move him.

Li Guoying and the others pondered for a while, and they all understood what Zuo Liangyu meant. If Sun Chuanting wins, the court will not be able to hold their handle, and they will also act at the opportunity, and there will be no loss anyway, so it doesn't matter if they go.

The generals bowed their heads one after another, feeling that it made sense, and gossiped for a while while walking.

At this time, Zuo Liangyu rode on a horse, looked up at both sides of the mountain road, and suddenly sighed: "Li Zicheng's generation can become bigger, it's really lucky."

Li Guoying couldn't help asking, "Why did the marshal say that?"

Although Zuo Liangyu was defeated by Li Zicheng not long ago, he looked down on Li Zicheng, and said with disdain: "In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Cao Wenzhao and others surrounded Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng, and as a result, Cao Wenzhao was transferred to the entrance of Jiannu, so that they could take the opportunity to break through. In the tenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng was beaten by Inspector Hong to only eighteen horsemen, and was almost destroyed. In the thirteenth year, when Li Zicheng entered Henan, the people of the imperial court either suppressed Zhang Xianzhong, or prepared to rescue Zu Dashou, so that this guy could take the opportunity to become bigger. At this age, the imperial court and Li Zicheng fought a decisive battle in Henan, and Jiannu entered again. You say, is he lucky! ”

In this way, Li Zicheng is really smoking from the ancestral tomb, and he has nothing to say if he is lucky.

As he spoke, Zuo Liangyu raised his horsewhip and pointed at the mountains and forests on both sides of the official road, and said that the generals smiled and said: "Li Zicheng is lucky, and his ability is really average." This place is the main road to Yuncheng, he actually didn't arrange a man to defend, if Ben Shuai really killed him, now the man and horse have appeared in his back! ”

The generals looked up and saw that the mountains on both sides of the road were steep and the trees were thick, and it was indeed a good place to use soldiers, and they couldn't help but echo and despise Li Zicheng's level of using troops.

Zuo Liangyu laughed on his back on the horse, before the laughter stopped, the drums on both sides of the mountains suddenly sounded, and the sharp arrows hit like a violent wind, and the arrow nets formed above their heads were falling rapidly, and the soldiers on the official road were hit by arrows one after another, and the mournful wails rose to the sky, which shocked Zuo Liangyu's laughter abruptly stopped, and he almost fell off the horse~

The generals saw countless figures jumping up on the mountain, the flags swaying, and before they could react, the arrows fell on their heads and faces.

At this time, on the hillside on the side of the official road, a black charcoal head picked up a dragon slaying knife, shouted and led thousands of people, and rushed down violently, "Kill the turtle grandson, catch Zuo Liangyu~"

Zuo Liangyu rode on the frightened war horse, and as the war horse kept spinning in place, his face couldn't help but turn pale~
