Fang Yuan summoned Zuo Mengeng again the next day, and Ling Jinyiwei, who was straight to the point, put Wang Yuncheng's blood book in front of him.

As soon as Zuo Mengeng saw the content written in the blood book, Wang Yuncheng actually came to Fang Yuan with a confession, and bluntly said that he had committed the crime of killing his father, and he was so frightened that his face was bloodless, and his hands holding the blood book were trembling.

Fang Yuan saw his panic in his eyes, and knew that what Wang Yuncheng's blood book said was definitely not false, and said lightly, "Young Marshal Zuo! What do you say, is the matter of killing your father ** true or false?! ”

These two crimes were felonies executed in all dynasties. If this kind of crime is really confirmed, Zuo Mengeng's future will be ruined, and it is still unknown whether he can save his life. The only way out at the moment is for Fang Yuan to hide it for him and admit his innocence.

Zuo Mengeng was so shocked that he knelt on the ground, and denied Fang Yuan repeatedly, "Governor Fang, this is slander, naked slander. My father treats me like a mountain, and entrusts me with a heavy responsibility, how can I do such a beast thing?! Also**, it's ridiculous, I treated my father's concubines well, and they were framed as **, Governor Fang, Mingjian! ”

Fang Yuan looked at Zuo Mengeng's back with disdain, if he dared to act, he took the initiative to admit to Fang Yuan that he had killed Zuo Liangyu because of the battle and disagreement. Fang Yuan may also see that he is advocating surrender and avoiding a tragic military disaster in Jiangxi, and hide this case of killing his father ** for him.

After all, Zuo Liangyu, a diehard who is unwilling to surrender, is also a scourge to stay in the world, and it will only unify the casualties of Jiangxi. And the so-called ** is just to receive a father's concubine, which in the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to taking over a piece of his father's family wealth, and has nothing to do with **.

But Zuo Mengeng not only confessed honestly at the moment, but also denied it with Fang Yuan. Zuo Liangyu's concubine Zhou, Zuo Mengeng took him with him to swagger through the market, and Zheng Zhibao had already reported truthfully to Fang Yuan.

Zuo Menggeng's behavior was simply to fool Fang Yuan as a fool.

Fang Yuan was deeply disappointed in him, stared at Zuo Mengeng's dodgy eyes, and confirmed to him for the last time, "Young Marshal Zuo, let me ask you again, you really didn't kill your father?" ”

Zuo Mengeng still resolutely denied it, and continued to act at Fang Yuan, "Yes, there is no such thing, Governor Fang must return my innocence!" ”

Fang Yuan squinted slightly, admiring his clumsy acting skills, and asked with a slight smile, "Young Marshal Zuo, how can you return your innocence?" ”

Zuo Mengeng hurriedly said, "Wang Yuncheng is gathering a crowd to resist, and he should have set an example for eliminating evil, and asked Governor Fang to arrange for me and my brother-in-law to go to Ji'an Mansion to exterminate it." ”

Brother-in-law?!

Fang Yuan was slightly stunned, and then remembered that he was talking about Gan Hui, who married Zuo Nan. At present, the two are discussing the military affairs of pacifying Jiangxi, and Gan Hui is the commander of pacifying Jiangxi. Zuo Mengeng actually called Gan Hui his brother-in-law, which was a taboo against Fang Yuan.

This one was really annoyed, and he had already concluded to Zuo Mengeng in his heart, that is, a second-generation official who did nothing, who was arrogant and domineering, did not know the height of the sky, and had no political sensitivity to observe words and colors. In addition, in history, after Zuo Liangyu's violent death, Zuo Mengeng was still defeated by tens of thousands of people in Huang Degong's huge military strength with a huge advantage in troops, covering the sky and stretching for hundreds of miles, which shows that this person's military talent is also quite mediocre.

All in all, if you leave the great foundation laid by Zuo Liangyu, Zuo Mengeng will be useless.

is such a second-generation straw bag official, who dares to kill his father willfully and cut off his arm, he is really an ignorant and fearless!

Fang Yuan had secretly made up his mind, and decided to use the method proposed by the princess to make him 'disappear automatically' on the battlefield, and then live a rich life incognito, which was worthy of him.

Fang Yuan still didn't see any joy or anger on his face, and said with a smile, "Since Young Marshal Zuo just abandoned the darkness and wanted to make meritorious contributions, then go with Gan Hui to crusade against Wang Yuncheng!" ”

Zuo Mengeng was overjoyed to get Fang Yuan's 'military order', with the support of the Xuanjia Army behind him, Wang Yuncheng's scourge would inevitably be captured, and it could also eliminate the hatred in his heart these days.

Five days later, Zuo Mengeng returned to Nanchang Mansion, and he brought Fang Yuan's latest decree, ordering the generals to follow the previous agreement, keep Fang Yuan's approved number of personal soldiers, and hand over the rest to Gan Hui, who was stationed in Jiujiang. After the reorganization was completed, he immediately went to the military department and the government guard to take up his post. As for the money that was plundered before, you can keep it for yourself. The looted women were returned to the village, or handed over to Gan Hui to dispose of together.

Although the generals were still a little hesitant, Gan Hui had already entered Jiujiang and could attack the state capitals north of Jiangxi at any time, and the general trend had gone. If you resist again, it will be a dead end, led by Jin Shenghuan, Li Guoying, Wu Xueli and other general soldiers can only obey Fang Yuan's orders, hand over the army under his command, and accept Gan Hui's changes.

Jin Shenghuan, who was named the chief soldier of Jiangxi, stayed in Nanchang Mansion to listen to the tune, and continued to work hard and prepare for war. And Li Guoying, Wu Xueli and others honestly went to the Nanzhili Military Department to report.

Only Hao Xiaozhong, Zhang Yingxiang and several other commanders and generals were unwilling to be subservient, handed over their military power, and went to Ji'an Mansion with 20,000 troops, joined Wang Yuncheng, and were ready to be a mountain king in the mountains of southern Jiangnan.

Zuo Mengeng invited Gan Hui to come to Nanchang Mansion to discuss the military plan of attacking Wang Yuncheng, Hao Xiaozhong, Zhang Yingxiang and others in southern Gansu.

At this time, Gan Hui had already received a secret report sent by Fang Yuan's Jinyi Guard.

In the secret report, he originally told Gan Hui that Zuo Mengeng's great crime of killing his father ** was unmistakable, and this person was useless, and there was no need to let him go back to the Governor's Palace.

Then Fang Yuan put forward a military plan for this attack on Gannan, that is, to order the generals of the left army to kill each other and reduce their troops by themselves, and the 50,000 Xuanjia Army was in the rear, so they did not have to participate in the battle of attacking Gannan, they only needed to wait to pick the peaches of victory. The last party informed Gan Hui in principle that without affecting the situation in southern Gansu, he secretly caused Zuo Mengeng to be defeated and killed. In the future, whether Zuo Menggeng is the landlord or a rich man, he must be incognito. Since then, there is no such person as Zuo Menggeng in the world.

The method adopted by Fang Yuan was actually modeled after the historical example of Li Zicheng being killed by the landlord's armed forces in Jiugong Mountain. Anyway, in Fang Yuan's opinion, he didn't believe that Li Zicheng, who was pursued by the Manchus at that time, but at least had tens of thousands of troops, would take twenty horsemen to Jiugong Mountain for no reason, and then was killed by the head of the village for some reason.

What's more, even Li Zicheng's body has not been found, so he can go to ask for credit with a word, which is extremely absurd. Of course, Azig, who pursued Li Zicheng in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was not a fool, and he was willing to report this absurd military report, firstly, to invite merit, and secondly, to publicize the role of recruiting and disintegrating the military morale of the Dashun army.

Now that Li Zicheng is dead, the generals of the Dashun Dynasty who still want to resist have no reason to continue to resist.

According to Fang Yuan's estimate, Li Zicheng should have faked his death and fled anonymously.

Gan Hui got Fang Yuan's order, and began to secretly plan the military plan for this battle of southern Jiangnan, and even his wife Zuo Nan was kept in the dark. Because Zuo Nan knew about this plan, he was afraid that there would be extraneous branches.

Half a month after the strong soldiers, Zuo Mengeng, together with Jin Shenghuan's department, joined forces with 70,000 troops, and often overwhelming southern Jiangnan. Two hundred miles behind the 70,000 left army was followed by the 40,000 Xuanjia army led by Gan Hui.

Gan Hui only left 10,000 Xuanjia soldiers to guard Jiujiang, and the rest went to southern Gannan to participate in the Great Battle of southern Gan. Gan Hui's trip is not only to cooperate with Zuo Mengeng, but also to monitor Zuo Menggeng's every move. If the left army has the slightest disagreement, it will inevitably be hit hard by the Xuanjia army immediately.

In the twenty-first year of Chongzhen, in late October, the Battle of Gannan broke out!
