Chapter 873: The Governor Gives You the Golden Wrong Knife

（0873）

[Today's second update is delivered! ] 】

Zuo Liangyu's body slowly tilted, slowly tilted, obviously, in the last residual consciousness, the chief officer with the most troops under his command, was unwilling. He never thought that Zhang Zhun would actually kill him. He couldn't think of any reason for Zhang Zhun to kill him.

In fact, he has been very careful to pay attention to his own safety. He kept a distance of at least thirty meters from Zhang Zhun so as not to be taken hostage by Zhang Zhun. Behind him, his cavalry guards were on standby, ready to step forward at any time and snatch him back in the event of an accident. However, no one expected that the Tiger Ben Army would kill Zuo Liangyu with one shot.

"Smack!"

Eventually, Zuo Liangyu's body fell from the horse's back and curled up on the ground, motionless.

Zuo Liangyu's subordinates were all frightened. They didn't expect that the Tiger Ben Army actually killed Zuo Liangyu. didn't expect that Zuo Liangyu didn't even have the ability to fight back. Almost no one could see where the gunfire had come from, nor did they see the white smoke produced after the musket was fired, which made them even more frightened.

Hearing the gunshot, the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army immediately rushed forward. The total strength of the two cavalry battalions exceeded 3,000 people, and they swarmed up, and Zuo Liangyu's subordinates were immediately sloppy. Don't look at the time they arrived, they were fierce and domineering, but in front of the Tiger Army, they really didn't dare to be arrogant. Others are the masters of the field battles with the Tatar cavalry in Beizhili, and the Tatar cavalry are no opponents of others, what are they?

"Get out!"

Zhang Zhun shouted loudly.

Zuo Liangyu's subordinates woke up like a dream, and hurriedly turned around.

Zhang Zhun jumped off the horse, walked to Zuo Liangyu's body, stretched out his foot and kicked him, convinced that he was dead, so he nodded casually. With such a scourge, Zhang Zhun will not let him live one more day. If he lives one more day, there will be at least a few thousand more deaths in the Central Plains.

Li Guo walked over in disbelief, looked at Zuo Liangyu's corpse on the ground, and then looked at Zhang Zhun, with a look of horror in his eyes. Everything in front of him was too unexpected for him. Zhang Zhun actually killed Zuo Liangyu, the chief military officer who was known as the most powerful and powerful troops. It's horrifying.

Zhang Zhun looked at Li Guo and did not speak.

Li Guo said in a somewhat bitter tone: "Lord Dudu, what are your orders?" ”

Zhang Zhun said expressionlessly: "Zuo Liangyu is dead, your life should be a little better, right?" ”

Li Guo had a slightly wry smile on his face, and said a little unnaturally: "We have never been afraid of Zuo Liangyu. ”

Zhang Zhun said casually: "Oh? Who are you afraid of? ”

Li Guo lowered his head and said with some reluctance: "Among the chief military officers, the more difficult ones are mainly Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Zhao Guodong, Huang Degong, and Wu Sangui. ”

Zhang Zhun was a little surprised and said, "Wu Sangui also went to deal with you?" ”

Li Guo still lowered his head and said a little bitterly: "That's right, in Fengxiang Mansion, we were ambushed by Wu Sangui and lost a lot of people, and Uncle Gao Yigong was almost captured by Wu Sangui." In addition to Wu Sangui, there is also Huang Degong, who is also difficult to deal with. He killed him near Guyuan. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded thoughtfully and did not speak.

Sure enough, when all these fierce men in the imperial army were concentrated on the front line of the Central Plains, the pressure on the Shaanxi rebel army was indeed great. In particular, the addition of the Liaodong Army made the Shaanxi rebel army aware of the extremely serious danger. Otherwise, Li Zicheng would not have rushed to send Li Guo to instigate the Tiger Army to attack Luoyang.

After Li Guo retired, Zhang Zhun was still pondering. He was thinking that if he attacked Luoyang and robbed King Fu's family wealth, Emperor Chongzhen, who was furious, would definitely mobilize Wu Sangui, Huang Degong, Cao Wenzhao and others to attack him. I'm afraid that when the time comes, there will be another good show to watch. When you are in Liaodong, you can still sit down and drink, talk and laugh, and from now on, you are a veritable enemy.

There is no doubt that Wu Sangui, Huang Degong, Cao Wenzhao and others are already the last backbone of the imperial court. If this group of people is gone, the imperial army will not be able to toss. It is conceivable that the future battlefield in the Central Plains will be quite intense!

Zhang Zhun suddenly shouted: "Li Xin? ”

Li Xin hurriedly replied: "My lord, I was born late." ”

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "Zuo Liangyu is dead, what do you think?" ”

Li Xin hesitated for a moment before he said cautiously: "This person is really damned by arson and plunder, harming the people." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded, and said casually: "Li Xin, are you a person?" ”

Li Xin replied, "Yes." ”

Zhang Zhun asked again: "Your hometown is in Qi County, right?" ”

Li Xin replied, "Yes." ”

Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment and asked casually, "Do you know a woman named Red Lady?" ”

Li Xin shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Zhang Zhun said: "Then, the matter of Kaocheng County has ended, where are you going?" ”

Li Xin seemed to be a little dazed, thought about it, and then said with some embarrassment: "Let Lord Du Du laugh, I haven't planned it yet." The late student was originally going to travel and want to broaden his horizons, but the world was in turmoil, and it seemed that he couldn't go anywhere. It is estimated that the late student can only go home. ”

Zhang Zhun said meaningfully: "You are a lifter, if there is a vacant magistrate, you are also eligible to wait." Kaocheng County just lacks a county, are you interested? ”

Li Xin thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Late life is not good at civil affairs. ”

Zhang Zhun said a little strangely: "You are not good at civil affairs, what are you good at?" ”

Li Xin's cheeks were slightly red, and he said a little embarrassedly: "Late birth...... I don't know. ”

Zhang Zhun rolled his eyes, suddenly probed over, and said with a somewhat strange expression: "Or, you come to lead the troops for me?" ”

Li Xin was suddenly startled, his face turned red, his hands shook wildly, and he hurriedly said, "No, no, no, don't joke with Lord Dudu." The late student is just a scholar, how can he lead the army? ”

Zhang Zhun laughed, straightened his body, and said with a long smile: "Li Xin, you are wrong. Who said that a scholar can't lead soldiers? You look at Yang Hao, Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi, Wang Huazhen, Yang He, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Sichang, Chen Xinjia, which one is not a scholar? The *** of the imperial army is all from a scholar! ”

Li Xin muttered to himself: "Late birth is different, different ......"

Zhang Zhun shook his head gently, smiled, waved his hand and shouted, "Someone!" ”

Liu Mang came over and waited for orders.

Zhang Zhun slowly instructed and said: "Leave a war horse for Li Gongzi, fifty taels of coils, let's go!" ”

Li Xin subconsciously said: "I have entanglement." ”

Zhang Zhun smiled slightly and said casually: "Since you have entanglement, then I will save it." ”

He took out a sharp dagger from the side of his saddle, handed it to Li Xin's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Li Xin, the world is chaotic, and when you go out, safety cannot be guaranteed. This dagger, which you can use for self-defense, may be able to save your life in a critical situation. Take care! ”

Li Xin held the sharp dagger, it felt like it was a little hot, and if he didn't want to take it, Zhang Zhun had already handed it over to him again. If you want to do it next, he doesn't really want to deal with such a murder weapon. Besides, Zhang Zhun's identity is very taboo in the Ming Kingdom, and as long as the adults in the government mention Zhang Zhun, they will not grit their teeth. If I accept his things, I don't know what the consequences will be. After hesitating for a moment, Li Xin said hesitantly: "My lord, I ...... it."

However, Zhang Zhun grabbed the horse's belly and went with a gust of wind.

Li Xin looked at the backs of Zhang Zhun and the others, looked at the dagger in his hand, hesitated for a long time, and finally put the dagger away, then turned over and got on the horse, and slowly went west. His hometown, Qi County, is just west of Kaocheng County, and he has decided to go home.

……

Returning to the county seat of Cao County, Zhang Zhun immediately established a temporary headquarters and prepared to launch a surprise attack on Luoyang.

The cake that fell from the sky was so tempting that he had to eat it as soon as possible. If the time passes, it may be too late. Others don't say it for the time being, Li Zicheng has always been thinking about this blessed king! If Li Zicheng is given a blessing banquet, the Tiger Ben army will lose tens of millions of taels of silver.

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da!"

Not long after Zhang Zhun returned to Cao County, the sound of the herald's horses' hooves spread out in all directions.

At present, in Zhang Zhun's hands, there are a total of four cavalry battalions that can be mobilized, including the lion cavalry battalion and the bear cavalry battalion that are already veterans, as well as the eagle cavalry battalion and the eagle cavalry battalion for new recruits. The strength of these four battalions adds up to about 6,000 people. Such a force is enough to break through Luoyang, and all the assets of King Fu will be transported to the river.

Originally, the Eagle Cavalry Battalion and the Eagle Cavalry Battalion were both newly formed cavalry battalions, and the training had not yet been completely completed, and the combat effectiveness had not yet been fully formed. However, Zhang Zhun finally decided to pull them out to slip around. This battle, to be precise, was not a cavalry battle, but an infantry attack using war horses to travel long distances. The only role of the war horse is to quickly move the infantry to the city of Luoyang, and then quickly move back. The specific course of the battle has almost nothing to do with the cavalry.

Judging from the map, starting from Cao County, passing through Kaifeng, Zhengzhou, Zhongmu, Xingyang, Gongxian, Yanshi, and then arriving at Luoyang, the route is quite clear. This route, in the history of all dynasties, I don't know how many times it has been walked by the army, and it will not be wrong to go with your eyes closed. The places where this route passes are all flat terrain, which is very conducive to the deployment of cavalry. At the same time, it is quite difficult for the enemy to set up ambushes along the way.

In ancient times, there were still Gongwei of the Tiger Prison Pass in the east of Luoyang, and it was a little difficult to enter Luoyang from the east. At that time, Lu Bu blocked the attacks of all the heroes at the Tiger Prison Pass. However, with the development of the times, the Tiger Prison Pass has gradually been abandoned and lost its role. Except for the Tongguan Pass in the west, which also has the role of a little pass, the other passes have basically lost their effect. Luoyang, like an unguarded classical beauty, is waiting for the Tiger Army to be pampered.

Judging from the map, the distance from Cao County to Luoyang is really not far. All the way to Luoyang, it will take up to three days. If you march in a hurry, you can reach it in two days. This was an absolute fatal blow to the defenders of Luoyang. By the time they received the information, the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army had already arrived in the city.

According to the information currently available, there were not too many imperial troops along this route. Most of the imperial army was attracted to Shaanxi, and in Henan, only two places, Kaifeng and Luoyang, were garrisoned. Kaifeng Mansion doesn't need to be managed, just bypass it. The imperial army in other places does not need to be cared for.

Zuo Liangyu was suddenly killed, and Zhang Zhun believed that it would inevitably cause chaos within the imperial army. Under Zuo Liangyu's command, there were at least seventy or eighty thousand troops. Now that he has been killed by himself, the other chief officers will definitely try to carve up Zuo Liangyu's troops. I attacked at this time, just to take advantage of a loophole.

The time and place are right, and there is only one person missing. This person is a person who is very familiar with the situation in Henan. After all, Luoyang is hundreds of miles away, and even Li Guo is not very clear about the specific situation. It's not that without a competent guide, there would be no surprises in this raid. However, with a good guide, you can definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

"Get a few good guides."

Zhang Zhun instructed Wang Shide.

"Understood!"

Wang Shide agreed.

Because the newly formed Eagle Cavalry Battalion and Eagle Cavalry Battalion were both training in the Pingdu Prefecture area, they received an order to rush to Cao County, and it took about three days on the road. After arriving in Cao County, it will take at least five days to prepare for the attack. Therefore, Zhang Zhun gave the troops ten days to prepare. Ten days later, it was already the beginning of October.

According to Zhang Zhun's order, the Huben army imposed martial law in Cao County, and everyone was only allowed to enter but not leave. The Gangzi Battalion, which was originally stationed in Yanzhou City, also quietly came to Cao County under the leadership of Wu Qingliang. Their main purpose was to prevent the counterattack of the imperial army after the Tiger Ben army attacked Luoyang.

King Fu is the richest vassal king in the world, and he is also the most eye-catching vassal king, if the Tiger Benjun copied King Fu's house, Chongzhen will definitely not be able to step down. It is conceivable that the imperial army will definitely counterattack Shandong. In Beizhili, the imperial army did not have much strength, and could only counterattack from Henan to Shandong. The existence of the Gangzi battalion is to prevent the crazy counterattack of the imperial army.

Regrettably, the familiar guide was never found. In these years, ordinary people don't go out at all, so they naturally can't know what is going on in the world. And those who have seen and heard a little bit have already found another job, and it is impossible to stay at home. Wang Shide searched for a few days, but only found a few salt barons who sold illicit salt, and he could barely be regarded as familiar with the road.

"Okay!"

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice.

Since you can't find a good guide, let's use these salt owls.

Everything was ready, on the sixth day of October, Zhang Zhun led the army and quietly set off from Cao County to attack Luoyang for a long distance.
