"Zuo Dashuai is really refreshing!"

The Shandong military sentry sentry smiled and continued:

"Our Shandong army defeated the thieves outside Tongxu County, and captured a large number of mules, horses, livestock, knives, guns and armor.

Zuo Liangyu's reaction was not as big as last time, he just nodded lightly, but sat back in his chair, snorted coldly and did not say anything.

It was not surprising that the sentry rider was down, and he said:

"The marshal also knows that our Shandong army has beheaded more than 3,000 people, but this is not all heads."

Speaking of this, the sentry rider was properly steady, looking at the person in front of him with a smile, Zuo Liangyu really "hissed", took a sip of wine, and said intentionally or unintentionally:

"What about the rest of the heads?"

Although the other party pretended not to care, the sentry could still see some clues from the eyes of Zuo Liangyu and the relatives around him, and this was why he said with a smile:

"Why should Zuo Shuai pretend to be confused."

Zuo Liangyu was a little shocked in his heart, but his years of career as a horse also allowed him to at least restrain his behavior a little, and said calmly:

"How many heads do you have?"

Hearing this, the Shandong military sentry stretched out a finger, and Zuo Mengeng, who was standing around, said "sigh", and said in a strange way:

"What kind of big deal am I, just a hundred heads of people who break into the camp, Wang Zheng doesn't take our left army in his eyes too much."

Hearing this, the sentry scolded, but he still said with a smile on his face:

"Young Marshal Zuo said a zero."

"Wait." Zuo Liangyu suddenly shouted, stood up excitedly, trembled and asked:

"You're talking about the head of a thousand rogues!?"

"Exactly."

The head of a thousand rogues, plus a sufficient amount of military supplies such as knives, guns, armor, mules and horses, was enough for Zuo Liangyu to report to the imperial court as a small victory with a level of 1,000.

Not long ago, Zuo Liangyu was defeated by Zhang Xianzhong, the left army was scattered and collapsed, and now it has not been completely retracted.

Zuo Liangyu is a warlord who values fame and fortune, and the title of the general is one of the most important things in his life, although no one in the army dares to say anything, but he always feels that something is missing without the big seal.

At present, the head sent by Wang Zheng is simply a charcoal in the fire, not to mention the merits and demerits, the left army can send a windfall, but I don't know what Wang Zheng's intention is to do this?

Thinking of this, Zuo Liangyu stabilized his mind, sat down and waved his hand:

"Bring a chair to this little brother from Shandong."

The sentry rode up and arched his hand, but said:

"Zuo Shuai is wrong, although the little one is a member of the Shandong Army, he is not from Shandong, and his ancestral home is in Liaodong."

Zuo Mengeng thought about it and said in surprise:

"Liaodong, now it's the world of the Tartars, right?"

"Yes, six years ago, those Tartars who killed a thousand knives slaughtered our entire village." Speaking of this, the Shandong military sentry cavalry has always been calm before he was moved, and his eyes were red.

Although Zuo Liangyu was arrogant, he was not as invincible as the rogue, and he knew that there were still terrifying Qing troops in the northeast, but he did not have any pity after hearing these words.

Zuo Liangyu coughed a few times, and when the voices of the discussion in the camp were extinguished, this is what he said:

"Wang Zheng... What does Wang Shuai want to exchange, such a big deal, shouldn't it be just a refugee like last time, right? ”

Hearing this, the sentry hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"My handsome family heard that Zuoying is crisscrossing the lake, but he just wants to sell his favor, and Zuo Shuai also knows that the world is not peaceful now, with many friends and many roads."

Zuo Liangyu didn't believe it at first, but after asking again and again, the other party answered the same thing, and he was relieved in his heart.

However, he also became more and more curious about Wang Zheng, and laughed and said:

"Okay, as you said, this deal is accepted!"

......

On May 13, the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the Shandong army entered Kaifeng City.

At present, there are only hundreds of soldiers and horses stationed in Xuzhou to garrison Han Youde in Kaifeng City, and after the Shandong army enters Kaifeng City, Han Youde's good days of power and blessing will come to an end.

Shandong General Soldier Wang Zheng, as the commander in chief, is above Han Youde in terms of authority and reputation, so he can only greet the other party politely.

On the day the Shandong army entered the city, it blocked the streets and alleys, took over the city defense from the hands of the Xuzhou soldiers, occupied some important military places such as horse farms, treasury, and military camps, and sent additional soldiers to patrol the city day and night.

The night did not stop, and they went from house to house to pick up people.

Although Han Youde was dissatisfied in his heart, he did not dare to act rashly, and at this time, the news that the Shandong army had passed Xu Da Po to break into the army not far away had not long been coming.

I thought that the news that Wang Zheng's entire army would be annihilated, but I didn't expect that it was Li Zicheng's rout, and the Shandong army won a complete victory.

Han Youde knew that the strength of the two parties was not at the same level at all, so he hurriedly set up a banquet with the prefect of Kaifeng for the king to show his goodwill.

This banquet Wang Zheng was polite to eat and drink with the other party, but after hearing a news, he immediately ordered to take people.

Whoever to take, it is naturally Han Youde, the Xuzhou garrison officer with a confused face.

In the melee between the army and the officials and soldiers from all walks of life, the most persecuted people were the common people, and the army was under the slogan of killing the landlords and squires, and those big families were naturally not spared, but they still had some moderation in doing things.

After all, at present, Li Zicheng needs to gather the hearts of the people in Henan, so the arrival of the army is like a New Year's hope in the eyes of the small people in the market.

Speaking of which, where the army passed, the poor people always got some benefit, at least it was much better than continuing to be persecuted by those officers and soldiers, and finally starving to death in the fields of their homes.

Throughout the provinces of the Central Plains, not only Henan, almost every province is full of red people begging for food with their mouths open, and the successive disasters, coupled with the chaos and disorder of the imperial court and the officials and troops in various places, have made all parts of the country have already reached a critical point.

The Shandong army entered the country with a number of soldiers and horses, even if it overcame great difficulties and defeated the invincible king Li Zicheng outside Tongxu County, the news came out from far and near, but this could not prevent the change of the general trend.

As soon as he entered Kaifeng City, Wang Zheng heard a bad news, and immediately transferred to Ruzhou after the rout, and even broke Baofeng, Lushan and other places, and after a few months, the number was tens of thousands.

The speed of the gathering of the army far exceeded Wang Zheng's expectations, since he came to Henan, he couldn't go back without doing anything, so even if he knew that he couldn't do it, he had to try it here and insert a nail into Li Zicheng.

When the dinner was held, the Shandong general soldier, whose prestige was comparable to Zuo Liangyu, had a smile on his face, and the Kaifeng prefect and Han Youde were relieved.

But after hearing the news, this dinner party, which was supposed to be a happy party, immediately became bloody.

Xuzhou garrison Han Youde's army defeated badly, I deducted military salaries, not to mention, after entering Kaifeng City, almost every moment in the arson, as of a few days ago, Kaifeng City is still everywhere in the abduction of women, and even some are still in the street to insult.

What's even more hateful is that the Xuzhou soldiers brought by Han Youde actually roasted the people with fire, and cut the meat piece by piece with a knife, and once the child cried, he immediately cut off his head, in order to force the people to hide their wealth.

When the Shandong army entered Kaifeng, the city was already full of complaints, and the imperial army generals like Han Youde had already made the name of the guest army stink, even if the soldiers of the Shandong army were different, it was difficult to change the impression for a period of time.

Wang Zheng had already made up his mind to put a nail in Kaifeng for Li Zicheng, and he couldn't let him be exterminated, but at the same time, he couldn't be too cheap.

Tonight's measures, on the one hand, are for Liwei, and on the other hand, they are also to stabilize the hearts of the people in the city, and this Han Youde has naturally become the most ideal target for killing chickens and monkeys.

Under the order of Wang Zheng, the chief soldier of Shandong, hundreds of Xuzhou officers and soldiers who were still in the city were mercilessly killed in the streets and alleys by the soldiers of Shandong.

The shouting did not last long, and when they got up in the morning, the people found that the heads of Han Youde and Xu Zhoubing were hanging on the Kaifeng city wall.
