Chapter 326, Liwei (7)
Liu Zeqing spent another two months on land, snatching everything along the way, and even the monk temple was not spared. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info and then slowly and leisurely to Fengyang.
Liu Zeqing's army met a team sent by Ma Shiying to meet him more than ten miles away from Fengyang City, which was a cavalry of twenty people, all riding horses of seven or eight hundred catties, but the leader was a showman. Na Xiucai claimed to be surnamed Kong, and he was Ma Shiying's guest, and now he brought people to greet Liu Zeqing.
"Liu Shuai, I'm looking forward to you! Now that the army of thieves is pressing, Fengyang is shocked. Governor Ma was unpleasant to eat, and he couldn't sleep well, so he looked forward to Liu Shuai's army. As soon as he saw Liu Zeqing, Kong Xiucai jumped off his horse and saluted Liu Zeqing.
"How dare Mr. Lao greet him, the last general hurried and hurried, and finally arrived before Zhang Xianzhong. I don't know if Governor Ma has always been good? Liu Zeqing also smiled.
"Governor Ma is good. Liu Shuai is worried. Governor Ma knew that Liu Shuai was coming day and night, and the team was tired, so he specially ordered to set up a large camp in the north of the city, prepare a banquet, and Liu Shuai's team could have a good meal when they arrived. Kong Zhang said with a grin.
"Oh, that's so Mr. Law." Liu Zeqing said.
Kong Zhang led Liu Zeqing to the camp outside the city, Liu Zeqing looked over, only to see that the camp had indeed been repaired, and Fengyang built this camp near the north gate to be exceptionally strong, the camp wall was high and thick, not to mention, a deep trench was dug outside the wall, and in the trench, sharpened bamboo poles were buried. At this time, the smell of mutton also came from the camp.
"Is it mutton?" Liu Zeqing said with a smile, "Mr. Lao has arranged it." The gentleman came all the way over, and he was hungry when he thought about it, so he might as well go in and have a drink together. ”
Kong Zhang listened and said with a smile: "I have led Liu Shuai here, and I have to go back to report to the governor." This glass of wine, I will come to ask Liu Shuai again in the future. ”
Liu Zeqing nodded and said, "The last general wants to go to see the Governor tomorrow, I don't know when the Governor will be free." ”
"The Governor is very busy now, but Liu Shuai wants to see the Governor, and the Governor can always find time. When I went back next time, I asked the Governor, and I would come early tomorrow morning to inform Liu Shuai how it was? Kong Zhang replied.
Liu Zeqing waved his hand, and a personal soldier sent a package. "Mr. Kong, I really thank you, this little gift is all Shandong's Tuyi, worthless things, it is really not a tribute." Obviously, this Kong Xiu is a close confidant of Ma Shiying, the governor of Lufeng, and Liu Zeqing is naturally willing to have a good relationship with him.
Kong Zhang was not pretentious, took the package, and weighed it in his hand, which was hard and heavy, thinking that it should be something yellow and white, so he smiled and said: "Liu Shuai is polite." In this way, he went back to his life. ”
Kong Zhang took those cavalry, rode out of the camp, and walked towards the gate of Fengyang City.
"What do you think of Liu Zeqing's army?" Entering the city, Kong Zhang suddenly asked.
"Vulnerable!" One of the horsemen replied disdainfully.
Kong Zhang looked at the other cavalry again, and found that the other cavalry did not speak, and seemed to be disdainful of the question he had just asked.
"So, are we sure that tomorrow we will be able to control his army?" Kong Zhang asked again.
"Block a few doors, and they won't be able to escape, and then with an army like theirs, an army that marches with snatched women, what else can they do but surrender honestly?" A cavalryman dismissively said.
"I really don't want them to surrender, this kind of bastard, if you don't surrender, it's best to kill them all." Another cavalry road.
"The major general said, I listen to you about military matters. If you all see it that way, I'm relieved. Kong Zhang said.
……
The next morning, Kong Zhang took a few cavalrymen to Liu Zeqing's barracks. The little colonel guarding the door hurriedly went to report Liu Zeqing, and at the same time opened the camp gate by himself.
"Just like that, I opened the camp gate easily......" Kong Zhang unconsciously despised Liu Zeqing's army in his heart.
Liu Zeqing quickly greeted him with a helmet and armor. Kong Zhang rushed forward and said, "Liu Shuai, the Governor is going to hold a banquet for you at noon." The special dispatch came down to inform Liu Shuai, so that Liu Shuai could arrange the affairs in the camp. ”
"Thank you, sir." Liu Zeqing hugged his fists and said, "The affairs of the general will be arranged a little, and I will go over with Mr." ”
"Liu Shuai, please take care of yourself." Kong Zhang said.
Liu Zeqing arranged the things around him, then called fifty cavalrymen, got on the horse, brought gifts, and came to the city gate with Kong Zhang.
Originally, the gate of Fengyang City should have been open at this time, but because of Zhang Xianzhong's recent attack, the gate of Fengyang was closed even during the day. When a few people came to the city gate, a cavalry led by Kong Zhang shouted a word to the city, and the city gate slowly opened. A few of them entered the city, but they saw that the gates were slowly closing behind them.
"These civil officials are just timid. In broad daylight, Zhang Xianzhong was still far away, so he was nervous like this. Liu Zeqing couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
When he got out of the city gate, he went out into the streets. Nowadays, due to the tense situation, the market is obviously a bit depressed, and many shops are not open, but after walking along the road for a while, it gradually becomes lively, and there are more shops open and more pedestrians on the street.
"After all, it's Zhongdu, and there's still something very good. Didn't Zhang Xianzhong rob it once a few years ago? It's nice to have something like this. Liu Zeqing took the horse and Kong Zhang to talk with each other, while looking around, habitually began to calculate how many valuable things there were in the city. Although he knew that no matter how much he connived at him, no matter how much money he used to curry favor with Shoufu, the imperial court would not tolerate him arsoning and plundering Fengyang, where the imperial tomb was located.
After passing through the downtown area, I walked for a while to the Yamen of the Governor of Lufeng. There were a few soaps standing at the door, and when they saw them coming, some of them went in to report it, and the others came forward. Kong Zhang jumped off his horse first, handed the reins to a soap who greeted him, and said to him, "You take your brothers over there to rest." ”
The soap took the reins and said to the cavalrymen behind, "Gentlemen, come with me." ”
At this time, Liu Zeqing and his cavalry also dismounted, those soldiers looked at Liu Zeqing, Liu Zeqing also understood that it was impossible for him to take these soldiers to see Ma Shiying, so he nodded at them, and these soldiers also led the horses and followed the soap to the side door.
At this time, the soap Li who went in to report had also come out, and the soap Li saluted Liu Zeqing and Kong Zhang: "Your Excellency the Governor still has some official business, please Liu Shuai and Mr. Liu Shuai to wait in the side hall for a while, and after the reception, I will invite Liu Shuai to meet." Please Liu Shuai and the villain. ”
Liu Zeqing said: "There is labor to lead the way." Then he followed the soap to enter from the door, and sat down in the side hall on the left, Liu Zeqing handed a gift list to the soap and asked him to present it to Ma Shiying. Then a servant brought tea. Liu Zeqing took two sips of tea, and then talked to Kong Zhang again.
"Does Mr. Kong know what the Governor is up to?" Liu Zeqing asked.
"Probably I'm going to send more men and horses and grain and grass to Tongcheng in Luzhou. Zhang was a thief and there were many horse troops, and the governor was worried that he would raid Fengyang, so he left a lot of soldiers and horses in Fengyang. Now that Liu Shuai has arrived, he can probably send these horses to Luzhou. ”
"Well, that's a good thing, too." Liu Zeqing couldn't help but think again, "These people have been transferred, and no one can take care of the plundering of the countryside." However, he said: "There is a general, and all of them will be as safe as Mount Tai." ”
The two said a few more words, and then saw another soap Li come over and said, "Your Excellency the Governor has invited Liu Shuai and Mr. Kong." ”
Liu Zeqing stood up and said, "Mr. Kong, let's go over together." ”
"Liu Shuai, please go first!" Kong Zhang said.
The two followed the soap to the front of the main hall of the reception, and the soap stopped outside and said to Liu Zeqing: "You two allow me to report to you." Then he opened the curtain and went in, and after a while he came out again, and said, "Your Excellency, please let you in." ”
Liu Zeqing and Kong Zhang entered the hall and saw Ma Shiying standing opposite in an official uniform. Liu Zeqing immediately bowed down and said, "The last general, Liu Zeqing, meet the governor." ”
According to the rules, it should be Ma Shiying who asked Liu Zeqing to get up. If Ma Shiying wants to behave politely and virtuously, he can also take the initiative to help him up. Of course, a military attache like Liu Zeqing is not qualified to be called a sergeant.
It's just that Ma Shiying didn't come to help, and he didn't even speak, Liu Zeqing didn't dare to look up, and after a long while, he heard Ma Shiying say gloomily: "Liu Zeqing, are you guilty!" ”
This sentence greatly exceeded Liu Zeqing's expectations, and he couldn't help but want to hold the hilt of the long sword hanging from his waist, but then he heard Ma Shiying say again: "The court ordered you to come with a journey, how dare you deliberately walk slowly?" ”
Hearing this, Liu Zeqing was relieved, the problem involved in this sentence is at most just two sentences, if this governor sees a general, he doesn't warn him, and scolds two sentences, is he still called a governor? So he hurriedly said: "The last will be convicted!" ”
Who knows, Ma Shiying's next sentence startled him again: "Liu Zeqing takes the order!" ”
Liu Zeqing hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Minister Liu Zeqing took the order." ”
"Fengtian Carrier......" Ma Shiying read it, and Liu Zeqing didn't understand the first four sentences and six sentences, but he suddenly heard it later: "Check Liu Zeqing's army to loot, kill the people, collude with the gangsters, and the crime is unforgivable!" ”
Liu Zeqing raised his head suddenly, but saw that several people had flashed out from behind the screen, all holding bird guns and pointing at him. Liu Zeqing knew that as long as he dared to move, a few birds would blast over, and he would definitely not be able to stop it. Then he said loudly: "Your Excellency, the last general will be wronged!" ”
Ma Shiying took a few steps back and said, "Wronged? How many people have you killed along the way? The court has made this official a governor in order to rectify traitors like you! Someone, take this thief with me! Suddenly, from the wings on the left and right came a number of soldiers.
Liu Zeqing stood up and wanted to draw his knife, but he didn't dare to look at those muzzles.
"Don't be caught yet!" Kong Zhang also shouted loudly.
Liu Zeqing trembled, but knelt down again.
