Chapter 792: Provoking (Asking for a Monthly Pass)



Fengyang Mansion, Tianchang County, Liu Zeqing's old camp. ()

Tianchang is located in the southeast of Fengyang Mansion, like a long arm, directly extending into the junction of Yangzhou Mansion, Yingtianfu and Chuzhou.

As long as this place is occupied, it can be hit under the city of Yangzhou within two or three days to the east. To the south, it only takes two or three days to reach the north bank of the Yangtze River in Nanjing. To the west, it can control the central capital Fengyang, Chuzhou, and even threaten Luzhou.

Liu Zeqing obviously also saw the importance of this place, and he led a large army to enter this place half a month ago, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight

Indeed, today's Yangzhou form is really like a few tigers that have been hungry for many days being artificially locked in a cage. Since there is no food, everyone will inevitably have to fight first.

Liu Zeqing has been in a very bad mood in recent days, as a northerner, since he entered the Jianghuai region, he has not adapted to the water and soil. A while ago, he vomited and diarrhea, which tossed him enough, and the whole person also lost weight. After taking a few doses of medicine, the symptoms of diarrhea stopped, but the stools began to be dense again.

He hadn't had a bowel movement for five days, his lower abdomen had swelled badly, and there were a lot of bumps on his face, which made his temper worse and worse. Especially after hearing that his son Liu Chun sent troops to Taizhou without authorization and was defeated by Sun Yuan, Liu Zeqing was even more angry, and even his teeth began to bleed.

Early this morning, Liu Ze couldn't stop breathing, making the tent stink. Just because the beauty who slept in the same quilt with him frowned, which angered Mr. Liu. Liu Zeqing immediately ordered someone to tie her up, lifted the whip and whipped her more than ten times in one go, until the beauty was bruised all over her body. If he hadn't been in a hurry to pay tribute, it was estimated that this charming woman would have been killed by him under the flagpole of Yuanmen.

After all, he was born in the military, although he is not particular about life, he often does not take a bath or change his clothes for ten days and a half months, but he is biased and not dirty. When marching and fighting, it is not customary to go to the gray circle to show respect.

So, he took two guards and ran to a bamboo forest in Yingwei with a hoe, and got busy with a hum.

But this squatting, but squatting for a long time, until the legs were numb, but there was still no effect.

When he was sweating profusely, a guard led Liu Konghe over.

Liu Konghe's face was covered with dust, and his forehead was still wrapped in gauze that had turned black, looking very embarrassed.

Standing in front of Liu Zeqing, Liu Konghe looked bitter: "Big brother." ”

Different from the expectation that the eldest brother would be furious, Liu Zeqing had a calm face: "Come back, you have suffered a defeat in Taizhou, I have heard about it, what is the specific situation, why did Chun'er think about attacking Taizhou, why is Sun Taichu there?" ”

"Brother Yu, the young general said that although there is a water transportation center of the Grand Canal in Huai'an. But now that Beijing has fallen and the waterways have been cut off, our army will not be able to feed such a large number of people by relying solely on the benefits of Cao Yun

。 Therefore, he has the heart to take Taizhou, after all, Taizhou is rich in products and is the main grain producing area of Yangzhou. ”

Liu Zeqing: "Go on." ”

Liu Konghe: "The young general said that now that Huai'an has all the troops and horses, it is the time to use troops to expand the territory. Otherwise, once the new monarch ascends the throne and the hundred officials of the court return to the throne, they really want to do it, but they are embarrassed. Moreover, isn't the chief officer attacking Yangzhou, if the Huai'an left-behind troops go south, they can echo the old camp from east to west, and form a front and rear attack on Gao Jie's army. ”

He also knew that Liu Chun had almost lost all the remaining troops in Huai'an this time, causing Huai'an to be exposed to Sun Yuan's troops, which was a big disaster. With the temperament of the eldest brother, I don't know how to punish Liu Chun.

Liu Chun was raised by Liu Konghe, and in his mind, he already regarded this nephew as his own son. Therefore, this time he decided to come over to see his eldest brother first, probe the mouth, and help Liu Chun say good things.

As soon as he said this, he began to feel apprehensive in his heart, and he couldn't help but look down at his eldest brother again.

Liu Zeqing, who was working hard below, had a calm face and couldn't see anything.

Liu Konghe continued: "When the young army left Huai'an, it was learned that Li Chengdong, the general of Gao Jie's department, was heading straight to Taizhou with three thousand forwards. If Gao Jie was allowed to occupy Taizhou, the connection between our army and Nanjing would be completely cut off by Gao Jie. On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly? And the chief military officer, you are in Yangzhou, and the major general didn't have time to tell him, so he decided to strike first. But I don't want to ......."

Liu Zeqing: "But I don't want Li Chengdong to go to Taizhou, but Sun Yuan came?" ”

Liu Konghe: "Exactly. ”

Liu Zeqing shook his head: "Li Chengdong is not enough, Liu Chun goes all out to attack, and he has a ninety percent chance of winning." It's a pity that he didn't know that Huang Degong had set out from Luzhou to Yangzhou to monitor Gao Jie, Gao Jie was under such pressure, and the army was besieging Yangzhou, and the troops were insufficient, so Li Chengdong's troops were transferred back. As a result, Sun Yuan came. ”

"Yes." Liu Konghe nodded.

Liu Zeqing couldn't help but shake his head: "Sun Taichu, tiger and wolf, how can you fight, it's not strange if you lose, if you win, it's amazing." By the way, where is Chun'er now, how are your losses, and how many people are left? ”

Liu Konghe: "Chief Soldier, we lost this battle very badly, and more than 30,000 people were captured. Up to now, no more than 10,000 soldiers have returned to the camp, and the rest have dispersed. Today, the major general is stationed in Yeshan

。 ”

"Not more than 10,000 people?" Liu Zeqing frowned.

Liu Konghe: "Fortunately, the elite at the hands of the major general are still there, and these more than 10,000 people are young and strong soldiers." It's just that the families of the soldiers are lost, and even ...... Even the second miss doesn't know whether she lives or dies......" Speaking of this, his tears came out of his eyes, and he couldn't help choking.

"What are you crying about, isn't it just a losing battle?" Liu Zeqing snorted coldly: "Where is there a war that doesn't suffer, Xia Ning lost it, just send someone to find it, what are you crying about." You go and tell Chun'er that it's useless for him to be stationed in Yeshan, let him bring his troops to the old camp to join me!" ”

Liu Konghe: "Chief Officer, don't you blame the Major General?" ”

"I blame him for what he does, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, you go and let him get back to Lao Tzu. I don't know what this Yangzhou will be like in the future, hehe, my Shandong Army, Gao Jie's Qin Army, and now Huang Degong's Luzhou Army, I don't know if Liu Liangzuo and Sun Yuan will come in the future, it's really lively! Chun'er is not only the son of the old man, but also the first fierce general under my command, fighting tiger brothers, and father-son soldiers, how can he be missing. Go ahead and don't delay. ”

Liu Konghe was pleasantly surprised, it seemed that the eldest brother really didn't want to pursue Liu Chun's defeat: "Yes, yes, I'll go and ask the major general to bring the army over to join the eldest brother." ”

After saying that, he breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly walked out of the bamboo forest, jumped on the war horse and took the guards, and went like a wind.

Looking at Liu Konghe's back, Liu Zeqing's extremely kind-looking face just now became hideous.

Another guard ran into the bamboo forest: "The envoy of Sun Yuan, the chief military officer of Yangzhou Town, is here." ”

He was greeted by an angry roar: "Get out, fuck me out!" ”

……

Wen Ermei, deputy chief soldier of Yangzhou Town, stood in the festival tent of the Chinese army of the Shandong army, and saw Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, who was eating breakfast in a big gulp, his heart beat as if he was about to jump out of his cavity, and his legs were so weak that he could not stand.

Although there was no one else in the tent, a murderous aura still spread from Liu Zeqing's body, which made his hair stand on end.

Although it was the first time I saw Liu Zeqing, I had already heard of his murderous name, Wen Ermei.

This guy is unscrupulous in his actions, and his methods are extremely vicious

When Li Zicheng's army entered Beijing City, Han Ruyu and Ma Jiazhi knew that Beijing City could not be defended, and if they stayed in the court, they would sooner or later fall into the hands of thieves. So, these two people threw out a large sum of money and left the door to be transferred to the south.

Both of them are speech officials, and the job of speech officials is to find fault with officials. They had also been impeached by Liu Zeqing before, and they had a feud with General Liu.

When these two left the capital to serve in the south and passed through Dongchang, Shandong, Liu Zeqing sent his soldiers to pretend to be thieves and killed the two people's family.

Han Ruyu and Ma Jiazhi are also in the six departments, although the official position is not big, but the power is not small, and they can inspect and supervise the six departments. But such a character, Liu Zeqing killed him when he said he would, and he didn't even frown.

This time, the Ningxiang army and the Shandong army fought in Taizhou, and the enmity between the two sides was deep, and this time Sun Yuan sent me as a messenger, and I don't know how Liu Zeqing will clean himself up.

Wen Ermei even suspected that Sun Yuan was going to borrow Liu Zeqing's knife to kill him, he had offended Sun Yuan at the beginning. Since the establishment of Yangzhou Town, the imperial court incorporated Dahewei into Yangzhou Town. In the past few years, although Sun Yuan has not blamed Wen Mei for the past and entrusted him with important tasks, he is still a little uneasy.

Seeing that Liu Zeqing ignored it and directly held a bowl of soup and ate it non-stop, Wen Ermei's voice began to tremble: "Chief Officer Liu, what my general means is that he had a great relationship with the general when he was in Jinan. The previous Taizhou war was purely a misunderstanding. My Ningxiang army originally wanted to crusade against Gao Jie, but I didn't want to fight with General Liu Shao in a foolish way. The general meant that he was willing to return the captured soldiers to the chief officer, and the two families would make peace and relieve the siege of Yangzhou together. ”

Hearing the last sentence of "the words of jointly solving the siege of Yangzhou", Liu Zeqing put down the noodle bowl and raised his head. With a chill in his heart, he was secretly shocked: Why, Sun Taichu also wants to get involved in Yangzhou? If the Ningxiang army comes, who will be his opponent?

"Mr. Wen."

"Don't dare, below is the deputy chief soldier of Yangzhou Town." Verme hastened to correct it, and he had always paid attention to such details.

"Well, Deputy Chief Wen." Liu Zeqing raised his hand.

Wen Ermei hurriedly handed over the letter in his hand.

Liu Zeqing took the letter, only glanced at it, and his expression became weird: "This is what Sun Taichu meant?" ”

Wen Ermei said: "Yes, yes, my chief soldier Sun said that he is the chief soldier of Yangzhou, and Taizhou is the jurisdiction of the Ningxiang Army

。 In order to express his gratitude, General Sun was willing to return the captured prisoners of the Shandong Army to the chief officer, and the two families would not invade each other with Baoying as the boundary. ”

As a matter of fact, the resettlement of military households in Yangzhou Town has always been the responsibility of Deputy General Wen. His current official position is said to be the deputy chief soldier, but in fact, to put it bluntly, he is just a civil affairs official, and he has no power. This time the Shandong army was captured a lot, after Sun Yuan's instructions, the young and strong among the captives were placed in various guards, and the remaining 10,000 old and weak and sick were also a waste of food, so the military town decided to return it to Liu Zeqing and sell his favors.

He continued: "In addition to returning the prisoners, in order to show sincerity, my general decided to recommend General Liu Shao to the imperial court. ”

"Recommend Liu Chun?" Liu Zeqing sat up straight.

"Yes, General Sun said that he had a good relationship with Master Ma, the squire of the Nanjing Military Department and the governor of Lufeng, and had written a letter to Governor Ma, asking the imperial court to commend General Liu Shao and make him the governor of Zuodu."

As he spoke, he was again amazed: "Major General Liu is fierce and brave, knows how to fight well, and although he is defeated, he has left a very deep impression on my generals on the battlefield." The general said, this son will be extraordinary in the future, Liu Zongbing is really a tiger father without a dog! With Major General Liu here, the Shandong Army will inevitably be carried forward in his hands in the future, and it is really a posterity...... When the general mentioned the major general in the past few days, he was full of praise...... "Wen Ermei's words for a long time were all words of praise, naturally, they were all Sun Yuan's instructions.

"That's a good feeling!" Liu Zeqing laughed: "Deputy Chief Wen, I have a good relationship with Sun Taichu, and I am grateful for his kindness." As he said, our two families are reconciled! Come! ”

Two guards walked in.

Liu Zeqing said: "Deputy General Wen came from afar to work hard, and asked someone to send a table of wine and food to wash the dust for General Wen." ”

Wen Ermei was full of joy when she saw Liu Zeqing, and her heart finally landed. However, in the face of such a murderer, he was still extremely afraid, so he naturally left early and felt at ease. Hurriedly arched his hand: "Chief Officer Liu, the last general is in his body, don't stay for a long time, your mind is under the order, farewell, farewell!" ”

Liu Zeqing looked regretful: "That's so...... Send the deputy chief soldier. ”

When Wen Ermei left, Liu Zeqing's smile condensed and turned iron-blue. He slammed the noodle bowl to the ground and roared in his throat: "Liu Chun, you wolf cub, your heart is really wild."

! Do you dare to take Lao Tzu's soldiers to fight Taizhou today, and dare to come to Lao Tzu's military power tomorrow? Did you collude with Sun Yuan's thief...... Hehe, Zuo Dudu, the military attache of the first grade, older than your Lao Tzu's official capital, what do you want to do? ”

The Governor's Office of the Five Armies of the Ming Dynasty is divided into the center, left, right, front, and rear five armies, and governs all the guards in the country. The left and right are supervising one product, the same knowledge is from one product, and the two products are in charge, and the position is high and responsible.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the governors of the five armies were in high power. However, after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, only a false name remained, and the governor also became a false title, which was just an honorary title.

In the eighth year of Chongzhen, the imperial court ordered Liu Zeqing to lead the troops in Shandong to protect Caoyun. In the ninth year, the Beijing division was under martial law, he led the army to defend the Beijing division, and the Chongzhen Emperor let him garrison the new city as a transportation hub between the north and the south, and later ordered him to stay in Tongzhou, and crowned him as the governor of the left capital, the prince and the prince.

In May of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, a serious famine occurred in Shandong, and the victims of disasters from all over the country gathered to steal, especially in Caozhou and Puzhou. Emperor Chongzhen ordered Liu Zeqing to join forces with the troops of Yang Yufan, the commander-in-chief, to suppress and arrest them. It's a pity that the Shandong army is too bad, because it is unfavorable to suppress the Kou, in August of the same year, Liu Zeqing was demoted to the right governor.

This time, Sun Yuan said that he asked Ma Shiying to play and confer Liu Chun as the governor of the left, so that the Liu family had two governors of the five armies, which was said to be a great joy.

But here's the problem, although the left and right governors are all the titles of the first product. But the left governor is half a block larger than the right governor. In this way, Liu Zeqing, the official position of Lao Tzu, is a head shorter than his son Liu Chun.

His own son knows best that Liu Chun is a rebellious species. His old Liu family has always been unkind, but there is no family affection at all.

Liu Chun has a heavy army, if he really colludes with Sun Yuan, the devil knows what kind of bastard thing he will do.

Thinking of his son's fierce face and strong martial arts, Liu Zeqing felt a chill in his heart, and he was secretly afraid.

This is also the reason why he saw Liu Konghe earlier and asked Liu Chun with a kind face how many men and horses he still had. After hearing that there were more than 10,000 and all of them were strong, how could Liu Zeqing rest assured that his son would lead the army alone, and immediately asked Liu Konghe to tell Liu Chun to let him lead the troops back to the old camp. As for pinching Gao Jie Yunyun, to hell with it!

Now, the letter brought by Wen Ermei makes Liu Zeqing even more afraid.

He had already made up his mind to immediately relieve Liu Chun of his military power as soon as he returned to the old camp.
