As soon as the joint performance of the governor of Shandong, the general soldiers, and the top and bottom of Henan came out, everyone who knew the content of this recital fell silent, and many people were waiting for how many officials would be connected to the great crime of Henan and Huguang's loss of the pro-domain, and how many positions would be vacated.

But when Henan made such a fuss, the world was dumbfounded, waiting for Emperor Chongzhen's reaction......

The emperor didn't dare to use military generals, but he was never soft on killing Wenchen, but King Fu was killed by thieves, and the officials up and down Henan had to bear the big crime of realizing the pro-domain, think about how many Wenchen generals were killed by Beizhili that year, can the big and small officials in Henan be light?

Anyway, if you die, it's better to justify yourself, the governors and commanders of the two provinces, as well as the officials who should be there, will always have some weight.

Of course, according to Li Meng's opinion, in addition to this twist and turn, the governor of Henan, the various officials of the political envoy and the general soldier all made a large amount of gold and silver, and went to Beijing with this twist and turn, from the celebrant to the cabinet, each with a gift.

In this way, the relationship between Li Meng and Henan's civil and military officials suddenly became much closer, at least Shandong soldiers and horses were willing to send troops to rescue Shandong, and they were also willing to jointly play, which is a great favor, although the governor Yan Jizu and the general soldier Li Meng also had a charge of unfavorable rescue, but this charge belonged to a reason to prevaricate in the past.

In the next few days, the treatment of Shandong officials and soldiers in Kaifeng City soared, and Li Xianfeng, who was already reluctant to show up, and the political envoys were forced to make a happy face and come forward to feast. Even the prefect of Kaifeng is a rare statement. It is said that the soldiers and horses of Shandong outside the city are hard, or it is more convenient to enter the city and station, but this seems to be extremely enthusiastic in the eyes of others. was rejected by Li Meng, of course, it was also a few words of praise for Gao Feng Liangjie.

Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier of Henan, thought that this colleague was polite, and said that if there were not enough military camps in Kaifeng City, his subordinate soldiers and horses could make some room to come out, and the two sides were humble.

On the third day of the fourth month, Zuo Liangyu, the general of the Ping Thief, also led his soldiers and horses to Kaifeng City, according to the information obtained by his horses. Zuo Liangyu led a total of more than 26,000 soldiers and horses, and after Li Zicheng's army captured Luoyang, he set up city guards and left-behind troops in Luoyang.

However, these people did not resist the attack of Zuo Liangyu and his troops, the city was breached, and the officials defending the city were killed. But this was almost eight days ago, it is said that the city of Kaifeng was very critical at that time, but Zuo Liangyu walked 6 roads with one soldier and horse, and the other army and horse went down the river and leaned over slowly.

Thinking about it, Zuo Liangyu, the general of the Ping Thief, didn't want to touch Li Zicheng's tens of thousands of elites, but Huang Ping also had a report. It is said that after Zuo Liangyu heard that the intrusive army was retreating, he immediately accelerated his trip.

At present, the urgent reports of Nanyang Mansion and Runing Mansion have been sent to Kaifeng City one by one, saying that most of the army is going south, and the place is in danger, but this news has relieved all the adults in Kaifeng City, and this big tiger finally does not surround Kaifeng. On the second day when Zuo Liangyu's soldiers and horses arrived in Kaifeng City, the soldiers and horses of Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding, also crossed the river at Chenqiao and arrived at Kaifeng City.

Treating these two soldiers and horses, the officials in Kaifeng City have nothing to look at. When I defended the city, I didn't see you coming, and when I didn't see you coming when I fought the battle, I waited until I had beaten away the soldiers and horses that broke into the camp, but you arrived at Kaifeng. Kaifeng Mansion also has to support your military food and grass, and he is really good at doing things.

Although Zuo Liangyu's army wanted to enter the city in a noisy, Kaifeng only allowed Zuo Liangyu to bring 500 soldiers into the city, but the 15,000 soldiers and horses of Beizhili led by Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding, were more measured, and 5,000 soldiers were stationed in the area of Chenqiao on the north bank of the Yellow River, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were also choked at the ferry.

Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding, was a civil official, and he also knew the difficulties of these magistrates in the city, and he was a civil leader. After promising to give more grain and grass in Kaifeng City. Entered the city with dozens of personal escorts.

The general soldier is the theoretical highest official rank of the Ming Dynasty's military generals, and it will be a plus sign if it goes up. For example, this Zuo Liangyu's "Ping Thief General" is higher in status than Chen Yongfu and Li Meng, he can command other general soldiers at some times, the so-called "marshal" title, before the year of the Apocalypse, he was called this kind of plus general, and only at this time did he begin to call the general officer of a provincial town guard "handsome".

As for Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding, the commander of the army in the Gyeonggi region, he was one of the highest official titles of civilian officials leading troops, and he was also a senior officer who could command several general troops. That is to say, Zuo Liangyu and Yang Wenyue, who have just arrived in Kaifeng City, are above Li Meng, not to mention that after the joint performance, the words of these reinforcements will always be helpful in determining the merits and crimes in the future.

These people gathered in Kaifeng, and the reinforcements from the rescue site had already arrived, and the governor Li Xianfeng came forward, and the banquet for these people should also be arranged.

On the fifth day of the fourth lunar month, Li Xianfeng, the governor of Henan, set up a private banquet in the side hall of the official office to invite all the dignitaries who came to the rescue site in Henan, and Li Meng was naturally among the invitees.

Kaifeng, Henan's attitude towards Shandong soldiers and horses has improved, including the supply and residence, the mansion where Li Meng and Yan Jizu live has been moved to the mansion near the governor's yamen, since the distance is so close, this banquet for him and Yan Jizu will also arrive first.

Shandong Governor Yan Jizu was high-spirited when he was in the middle of the Beijing Division, and he was frustrated step by step in the appointment of the governor of Shandong, and now everything is very careful.

It can be regarded as a moment of courage, listing the name on the document that was played, and pointing out one or two according to his understanding of the center of the Jingshi, such as putting together a heavy gift, who should give more, who should give less, and so on.

After this incident, Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, knew that he and the chief soldier Li Meng were tied up in the same boat, so he treated him more closely and respectfully.

Anyway, these officials of Kaifeng Mansion looked confused, thinking in their hearts that the governor of Shandong looked like he was a staff member of the young general soldier. There is no official decency in this.

After Li Meng and Yan Jizu received the invitation, they were close anyway, thinking that they were pinching the time to come over, who would have thought that they would arrive here, but now they arrived early.

Of course, Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier of Henan, was invited to attend, but since he was an official from other places who invited Henan civil and military banquets, Chen Yongfu was also half a master, and after chatting with Li Meng and them, he went outside to welcome the guests, and the posture of Li Xianfeng, the governor of Henan, was low enough, and he was waiting for the guests at the gate of the inner courtyard.

"Governor Yan, do you think that piece will be folded. Will Banzai be on fire? ”

Looking at the two of them in the hall, Li Meng asked casually, Yan Jizu shook his head with a smile, and replied without hesitation:

"According to the means of the celebrant eunuchs, when they are handed over, the saint must be in a good mood today, and it is also clear in this recital that Henan's civil and military forces and reinforcements from all walks of life are the main credits, and the fall of Luoyang is the fault of Yang Sichang's side, so there should be no problem."

Listen to Yan Jizu's words. Li Mengcai understood that the key is to see when the eunuchs hand over the folds, if the emperor is happy, the emperor will be magnanimous in bad things, and if the emperor is angry or unhappy, the emperor will not appreciate the good things.

As he was talking, he heard someone outside spread the word "Prince Shaobao and Ping Thief General Zuo Liangyu have arrived", and then Li Xianfeng and Chen Yongfu stepped forward to greet politely.

After a while, a big man wearing a military general's robe walked in proudly through the front door. Chen Yongfu was half a step behind, with a smile on his face, and said:

"Lord Yan, Lord Li. This is General Zuo!! ”

Zuo Liangyu, the general of the flat thief, is famous in Henan, Huguang and other areas, and led the soldiers and horses to pass through a place and grab a place, some people say: The thief comes but the family is broken, and the soldier comes to die", mainly that is to say that Zuo Liangyu's subordinates are soldiers and horses.

The Ming soldiers and horses were poorly treated, and if they wanted to eat and wear, they could only rob them during wartime. However, most of the soldiers and horses were in their hometown. In addition to acting domineeringly, it can be regarded as peaceful. After all, he is a native of his hometown, and there is always a psychological burden to loot, so once he leaves the garrison to fight, he immediately becomes like a wolf and a tiger.

However, the soldiers and horses of the subordinate soldiers and horses of the general Zuo Liangyu are very complicated, from Liaozhen and Beizhili to Huguang and Sichuan, the source of soldiers is really from all over the world.

But this source of soldiers is mixed, everywhere is a guest army, everywhere is a big disaster, in Jiangxi did not listen to the local governor to pursue the thieves, but the army plundered women, in Huguang and Sichuan, every place, like a catastrophe from the sky, smaller villages and towns turned into white land.

Zuo Liangyu has a name in his official position, he is the general of the thief, and the local government simply omitted the word "ping" and called him "general thief".

Don't say that it is the local gentry complaining about the curse, and even the local civil officials have repeatedly played impeachment, but in the heart of the Central Plains, the local army led by Zuo Liangyu is one of the few that can be used, and in the eyes of the princes of the imperial court, it has always had the impression of a strong army and is considered to be the main force.

Today, when King Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Luo Rucai are getting more and more fierce, Zuo Liangyu has the fault of not being strict with the emperor and disturbing the place, as long as he is still leading the army to chase down the thieves, that is the loyal and brave man in the emperor's heart, and those small mistakes are all skin and can be ignored.

Therefore, although Zuo Liangyu's soldiers and horses are like beasts, they are getting more and more stable in their positions, and their strength is getting bigger and bigger.

Li Meng has a lot of understanding of what Zuo Liangyu and his soldiers and horses did, in his imagination, this Zuo Liangyu is also a fierce and vicious character, who would have thought that when he saw it today, he was a handsome middle-aged man, and this military attache robe was worn on Li Meng's body, which often looked a little bloated.

But wearing this Zuo Liangyu, it is very tall and abnormal, looking at the whole image, it can't help but remind people of some film and television actors with excellent images in modern times.

Zuo Liangyu walked into this side hall, Li Meng and Yan Jizu both got up with a smile and stood up, clasped their fists together as a salute, and the range of bending was naturally greater than when they met officials at the same level.

When Zuo Liangyu saw this Shandong land, he just nodded, snorted from his nose, and walked towards the inner room by himself.

When he walked past Li Meng, Zuo Liangyu still glanced at Li Meng who was standing there, his eyes were quite unkind, and when he looked closer, Li Meng looked at the "thief general" although he was dignified. But that arrogant and ferocious look made people extremely uncomfortable.

If you want to say why you have a bad attitude towards Li Mengdi, it has always been because Li Meng grabbed the credit before his arrival Zuo Liangyu, and it is a question whether he can beat it. But being robbed of his own merits by a general soldier is another matter, of course, Li Meng's Shandong soldiers entered the city with 1,000 people, and he Zuo Liangyu brought in 500 people, which must also be a reason for not being angry.

Li Meng smiled slightly, and he didn't feel anything hostile to such a character. Zuo Liangyu is entrenched in southern Henan and Huguang, and he has nothing to do with himself, so if there is hostility, let him go.

Henan General Chen Yongfu must have dealt with this Zuo Liangyu a lot of times, knowing this person's arrogant and arrogant temperament, he nodded apologetically at Li Meng, and hurriedly followed.

In the past few days, Henan has been polite and affectionate to Li Meng and Yan Jizu, but as soon as Zuo Liangyu came, the two immediately became supporting roles, Li Meng was okay, but Yan Jizu was a little indignant. The more civil officials paid attention to these polite and decent little things, and waited until Zuo Liangyu and Chen Yongfu entered the inner room.

Yan Jizu leaned over and whispered:

"Lord Li, don't look at Zuo Kunshan's appearance of no one in his eyes today, do you know how he started back then, it is said that when he was under Cao Wenzhao, he went to borrow grain from Hou Xun of the Ministry of Officials, stayed in the Hou Xun camp for three days, and was promoted to deputy general after coming back. Look at the appearance of this Zuo Liangyu, ...... back then"

This is indeed an interesting thing, but Li Meng felt that the governor in front of him was said to be a famous person in Donglin. The Ming Dynasty is famous and noble, and his appearance is so obscene.

However, although Li Meng felt that Yan Jizu was obscene, he also felt a little closer, and people talking about other people's private affairs together, although it was immoral, it was indeed a means to bring the relationship between the two sides closer, and he came to Henan for this series of things. In the end, Yan Jizu is inferior. Whether he did it on purpose, no one knows.

Zuo Liangyu is so arrogant. But then Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding, was completely different, this Yang Wenyue was a kind and humble thin old man, when he saw Li Meng and Yan Jizu, there was no difference in status at all, and there was no scribe's shelf, polite greetings, and then the two sides sat down together.

Nowadays, all civil officials who lead troops are living tremblingly, and they don't know that they were beheaded by the emperor that day, and Yang Wenyue has also experienced the ups and downs of the resurgence of degraded officials, and it is normal to live so carefully.

Governor Li Xianfeng was full of worries, and he was just forced to laugh at the banquet, Chen Yongfu was not good at words, Zuo Liangyu claimed his identity there, and he was unwilling to talk to people casually, and the remaining Li and Meng were also members of the powerful side, not to mention that the two sides were all over the world, and there was no need to flatter and please anyone.

The banquet was quite depressed, and after a few rounds of ceremonial drinking, everyone dispersed directly after finding a reason. Since the army has gone away, Kaifeng City is safe and sound, and the purpose of training the soldiers and horses under his command has been achieved, Li Meng felt that there was no point in staying here any longer, so he communicated with several subordinates and decided to leave for Shandong on the eighth day of the first month of April.

Before going back, Li Meng still had a private banquet that he couldn't help but go to - the banquet of King Zhou's mansion.

When he led the army to relieve the siege, King Zhou of Kaifeng Mansion looked at Li Meng from a distance at the head of the city, after all, the distance was not real, this time there was a chance, of course, I had to get closer.

The local relatives and vassals befriended the leading generals, this kind of thing is the most taboo, and the court and the local government are the most vigilant against this, for fear that the vassal king will take the opportunity to cause chaos.

However, at present, when the army is in chaos, the officials of Henan Province are too busy to take care of themselves in order to finish up, and the monitoring of the palace of the feudal prince is naturally lax a lot, and the king of Zhou and the king of Fu are very different, the king of Fu is not even willing to take out a penny of the miser, but several times when guarding the city, the king of Zhou is willing to spend money to raise strong men to defend the city, and the palace is trying its best to spend money to defend the city, and the reputation of the people is not bad.

In this case, even if there is a small mistake, the government will turn a blind eye and pass, of course, if Li Meng wants to go to the Zhou Wangfu to meet, he still has to make some preparations.

Kaifeng is such a big city, Shandong soldiers and horses come over, always have to tour the city, visit these prosperous places, and see that Li Zongbing's personal soldiers are traveling in batches.

There were more than a dozen soldiers who stopped and stopped all the way to a grocery store in Kaifeng City, thinking that they wanted to buy some special products, and the officers and soldiers did not stay in it for a long time. He left with a large bag and a small bag, and every group of soldiers who came out followed from a distance by the officials of Kaifeng Mansion.

Follow the soldiers. Of course, no one paid attention to the grocery shop, and when the soldiers walked away, a few guys came out of the shop, taking these daily groceries and walking towards the Zhou Palace.

Li Meng is among these guys. That shop is the branch of Lingshan Commercial Bank in Kaifeng, this branch and Zhou Wangfu has long been linked to the relationship, a lot of groceries in the palace are purchased in this shop, this is also an account, there are business dealings.

After entering the palace from the side door and walking to the inner house area, there were relatives from the palace who came to guide the way, but Li Meng first asked the other party to find a room where no one was located, and he had to change this guy's clothes first and see the king of Zhou. It's not much different from seeing your father-in-law, and you have to leave a good impression on the other party.

But the general's robe can't be worn, and he wears the gown of ordinary rich children, which makes Li Meng feel quite awkward, but the whole person looks a little more elegant.

As soon as the palace guard came over, he first stated that the prince ordered that everything in the palace today should be carried out according to the private etiquette of the people, and there is no need to pay attention to so many complicated etiquette, which is exactly what Li Meng wanted.

The luxury of the pro-domain. Li Meng has heard a lot about it since the time when he was a salt pole, and he is also quite looking forward to today's private banquet, but after entering this dining room. When I saw the surrounding layout and the dishes on the table, I let out that breath.

This is a joke, it is not easy to eat meat, but others start to eat vegetables for health, although the private banquet of Zhou Wangfu is exquisite, but most of them are vegetarian dishes and vegetables and what are the flashy and exquisite materials, and the decoration of the house is also simple. It's quite rustic.

But this is the room where we eat. The format is a little strange, and the table is at the front. Almost half of the space is blocked by beaded curtains and light yarn, and nothing can be seen from there.

Zhou King Zhu Gongfang is a little not angry and self-prestigious, but Li Meng has been on the top for a long time, naturally not inferior, both sides are very reserved and serious, King Zhou opened his mouth to ask some about Li Meng's family background and recent situation, Li Meng also replied politely and politely, originally thought that the other party would be disgusted because of his humble background, but Li Meng could feel King Zhou's satisfaction.

"My Zhu family bloodline, no matter what nature is, has been confined to this square inch since I was born, if I go out to see, it will be a great blessing!"

These words were not clearly said, but the meaning of the words was understood by both of them, Li Meng just raised his glass with both hands, and toasted the other party with a glass of wine.

The two sides gossiped commonly, and King Zhou was used to seeing ups and downs, but he was extremely surprised by Li Meng, the general of the town who had been on one side for less than ten years. Li Meng was also very surprised, King Zhou had no concept of the catastrophe in Henan, Zhu Gongfang looked at the prosperity and bustle in Kaifeng City every day, and thought that the same was true outside Kaifeng City, even if there were some natural disasters, it was not a big deal, the so-called tragedy was just the rendering of literati.

Hearing this, Li Meng also had nothing to say, King Zhou's circle is in Kaifeng, Chongzhen's circle is in the Forbidden City, one doesn't know about Henan, the other doesn't know the world's affairs, this Ming can have today's situation, but it is not wrong.

However, he is a powerless vassal king who is trapped in the city, and he is looked down upon by local officials in Henan, even if he wants to do something, it is impossible, and there is no need to say it.

But the more he ate this private banquet, the more uncomfortable he became, first a slightly sickly young man met him, saying that he was the son of King Zhou, looking at his sick appearance, and Mu Yunyao, who was infinitely energetic, was really not far behind, King Zhou's grandson was ten years old this year, and a very cute child was also led out to meet Li Meng.

Li Meng was also forced to be gentle and polite to these people, and what made him even more unbearable was that behind the beaded curtain and light veil, there were many people staring at him, probably who he could guess, presumably it was the daughter of the palace of Zhou, and the king of Zhou could still use a clairvoyant mirror to see Li Meng under the city at the head of the city, Mu Yunyao's mother, that is, Princess Zhou, could only see this "son-in-law", so it could only be through this way.

Mu Yunyao doesn't know if she has the opportunity to meet her parents in this life, and she has to endure some discomfort for the sake of this girl who follows her.

In order to make his image better, Li Meng straightened up a little and spoke loudly......

Wait until the banquet is over and walk out of the palace. Li Mengxian's back was covered with sweat, and he was already soaked, a small banquet. It's even more nervous than leading the troops into battle.

If you want to go back to the mansion where you live, you naturally can't go back in this grocery store guy's clothes, but you have also made proper arrangements, and when you walk out of this area of the palace, Li Meng and several guards around him have already changed into the clothes of a small second in a restaurant.

With a food box in his hand, he slowly turned back to his place of residence, and when he was about to walk to his residence. There were also a few errand officers who stepped forward to ask, but Li Meng didn't say anything, but the guards who guarded him spoke a Henan dialect, and there were indeed exquisite wine and food in the food box.

Those few errand servants no longer paid attention, the market of Kaifeng City and the outside of the city looked completely two worlds, the outside of the city was like hell, but the city was still sheng song and swallow dance, and the peace was abnormal.

However, the hungry and beggars on the side of the street were also everywhere, and the officials and officials were too lazy to pay attention. Don't look at Li Meng's residence, this is the governor's official office, but on the street outside, there are still beggars leaning against the wall, it seems that they are sleeping on the street at night, although it is April, but the weather is still very cold, I really don't know how these people survived.

It was already completely dark, and Li Meng's gang was also pretending to make a lantern, which is said to be the characteristic of this restaurant.

This lantern is written with three big characters of "Windward Building", and it is very conspicuous to match this large lantern at night. It's really a good advertising effect.

The lantern is quite bright, even if Li Meng lowered his head, his face was clearly reflected by the light of this lantern, of course. There is no need to worry about who will recognize him, even if there are secret agents and officials around, he can only know that he is the chief soldier of Shandong when Li Meng is wearing the armor of the general soldier.

Such casual clothes will not be recognized no matter what, not to mention that Li Meng still walked in the center with his head down, surrounded by six guys who were also pretending to deliver food, surrounding him in the middle.

On the street outside the governor's office and Li Meng's residence, there were also two or three beggars lying there. It stands to reason that it's so late. The beggar slept whether he was well fed or hungry, but there was a beggar in ragged clothes looking around. It's very special.

The local officials and soldiers in Henan, who were wandering around the official office, ignored the beggar, but several guards around Li Meng strengthened their vigilance in this direction, and their main attention was focused on the beggar.

However, the beggar ignored Li Meng and his party, and just watched him pass, but when Li Meng walked past them, the ragged beggar glanced at Li Meng who was wearing a man's costume when he looked around, but his eyes suddenly widened.

The guards leaning on this side either put their hands into the food box or put their hands in their arms, but the beggar struggled to stand up but could not stand up, as if his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground.

"Dashuai, hurry up, there's something weird on this street."

A guard whispered to Li Meng, Li Meng turned his head and glanced at the beggar, quite thin, his face was already gray and black, and the rags on his body were also black, it seemed that he had suffered a lot, the beggar and Li Meng looked at each other, and wanted to shout, but they looked at the errand soldiers wandering nearby, and did not make a sound.

Li Meng and the others quickened their pace, the beggar also struggled to get up, staggered and chased over, the beggar chased the guy in the restaurant, looking like the begging could not be entangled, these errands wandering around the governor's office, the main task is to protect and monitor where Li Meng and his own soldiers live, such things in the market, just follow the excitement.

The pace quickened here, and the beggar obviously couldn't keep up, but he didn't shout, just followed, and as soon as Li Meng and the others entered the vicinity of the residence, there were already people waiting for them hurriedly coming over and shouting:

"Why did you just come here, our handsome man is already in a hurry."

A group of personal guards surrounded the seven people and walked towards the door in a huddle, and the beggar who was chasing behind had already fallen a dozen paces behind, and he couldn't catch up.

The beggar suddenly cried out in a loud voice:

"General Lee...... Li Dashuai, I finally found you, the villain has something to report, and there is something important to report, this voice is a little familiar, Li Meng did not turn his head, but just commanded in a cold voice:

"Bring him in to me!"

To the neighborhood of this house where oneself lives. Li Meng didn't need to hide anything, and when the leader of the pro-soldiers around him heard it, he turned around and gave the order.

Immediately, a dozen of his own soldiers ran towards the beggar. As soon as the beggar cried, the officials and officials wandering nearby suddenly noticed this, and a group of people rushed over.

However, Li Meng's local soldiers around him pulled out their swords, and the original task of those officials was to stare at this side and not make any trouble, at best, it was a role in maintaining law and order, they were not willing to fight hard, watching the soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion pull out their swords, these people took a few steps back and smiled. Ignore it.

Li Meng simply changed his clothes inside, and then walked into the living room, where the beggar was already waiting, and several soldiers found a change of clothes for the beggar, washed briefly, and brought him a bowl of hot soup.

As soon as this beggar was cleaned up, Li Mengxian himself really recognized that it was Sun Zhiyang, the county magistrate of Nalanyang County, but he hadn't seen him for ten days, and he actually became such an embarrassed appearance.

What is this Lanyang County Commander looking for himself. If you want to find it, you should also go to the Kaifeng prefect or the political envoy to have something to do with yourself, a military general from Shandong?

And looking at Sun Zhiyang's embarrassed appearance, it seems that he has suffered a military disaster, thinking of this, Li Meng's heart sank, and he turned around and asked Yuan Wenhong, the secretary of the army:

"Is there an accident at the Zhaopizhai ferry?"

Yuan Wenhong can almost keep in mind the information sent every day, and after a little pondering, he whispered:

"Back to the marshal, there is nothing to do at the ferry and transshipment, and the only news reported is that the left army entered Lanyang County the day before yesterday."

Li Meng breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and was about to ask what was going on, but Sun Zhiyang drank hot soup and changed his clothes, and his spirit had recovered a lot. Seeing Li Meng's gaze coming over, he put down the soup bowl, knelt on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed again and again. With only a cry in his mouth, he said:

"I implore the marshal to call the shots for the lower officials!!"

This made Li Meng really confused, whether it was from the civil and military functions or from the jurisdiction of the territory, the person in charge would not be able to take his turn.

The soldiers in the house and Yuan Wenhong also looked at each other, very confused, it was at this time that Wang Hai finished patrolling around the house, arranged the night guard, and walked into the room and was startled by this scene.

Outside, there was the sound of beating the watch. But there was still a sound in the room. The sound of Lanyang County's head hitting the ground was no less than that bangzi's voice, and it was soon blood on his forehead.

Li Meng looked left and right in the room. Now everyone is a little confused, just like himself, looking at Sun Zhiyang who is still kowtowing there, this young county commander has a posture that I won't get up if I don't agree, Li Meng is a little impatient, and can't help but shout angrily:

"What the hell is going on, say it first, always kowtow there, there is a ghost use!"

This angry shout made Sun Zhiyang, who was kowtowing on the ground, tremble, slowly raised his head, and looked at the appearance of already tearful communication, Li Meng couldn't see a man crying, and the other party's state made him frown, and was about to continue talking, when a personal soldier outside hurriedly ran in and said:

"Dashuai, our people from outside the city said that there are some important things to report to Dashuai."

At this hour, the city gates are already closed, if someone enters the city at this time, the only way can only be through the city gate through the hanging basket in and out, it seems that this matter is really not small.

That Sun Zhiyang was also a little stunned, but stopped crying, and after a while, a young man dressed as a messenger cavalry hurriedly walked into the house, looking at the young man covered in dust, but his face was unusually pale, and he was just about to kneel down and salute, Li Mengyi waved his hand and opened his mouth to order:

"You don't have to kneel, what happened?"

Everyone in the room was engrossed in what urgent news this messenger soldier who came over in a hurry brought, but they didn't pay attention to the fact that there was also an outsider, Sun Zhiyang, the commander of Lanyang County, the soldier took a few breaths, and hurriedly said:

"Marshal, the day before yesterday, the left army entered Lanyang County...... The city was washed on the day of entering the city, and the city gate was closed yesterday for plundering, and the left-behind officer of the ferry sent me to report to the marshal, the ferry and the grain road must be worry-free, and please take an idea, if the left part provokes my riverside camp, to what extent should I deal with it! "The soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion will not ask how to deal with it, if the other party dares to attack, then the Jiaozhou battalion will respond mercilessly, but in the field, and in the face of the official army, it is still in full view, to what extent to go, it is indeed for Li Menglai to decide a measure.

This matter is really not a big deal for the Jiaozhou battalion, it is nothing more than to start fighting, and the cavalry who came to pass the message looked at this miserable white face and haggard appearance, but it was obviously a little overreacting.

Li Meng was just about to give an order, but Sun Zhiyang, who had been standing on the side, suddenly let out a loud cry and knelt on the ground again, but this time he didn't kowtow, just cried and said:

"General Li, the people of Lanyang County, miserable ......"

Now the people in the room somewhat understood why this Lanyang Zhixian was like this, Li Meng did not ask, but turned his eyes to the cavalry who sent the message.

The cavalryman understood that this was the marshal asking himself, and hurriedly bowed down and replied:

"The day before yesterday, the left part of the county town of Lanyang, according to the observation of the horse said, the department of soldiers and horses is almost more than 6,000, into the city to divide the troops to block the county gate, I don't know what is in it, but the cry is shocking. Yesterday the city was quieter, but the gates were not opened until noon, and the small horsemen passed near the city, but they smelled a fishy smell. ”

Speaking of this, he hesitated, and said in a low voice:

"The little one felt wrong halfway, and vomited three times on the horse, a little out of shape, and I hope that the handsome man is not strange."

Connecting the cry of Sun Zhiyang, the beggar-like commander of Lanyang County, with the narrative of this messenger cavalryman, things gradually became clearer, and the faces of the people in the living room, whether it was Li Meng or the personal soldiers on duty, became ugly.

These soldiers and horses led by Zuo Liangyu are really like beasts......
