Today's first more delivery!!

Li Xin is indeed the legendary beautiful son, the only difference is that he does not have a gold-painted paper fan in his hand. He doesn't look weak on the outside, and his walking pace is quite steady. If he guessed correctly, he should have practiced martial arts. Of course, the martial arts practice here only refers to the meaning of strengthening the body, and it is definitely not the kind of martial arts practice of Dong Sanhuai and others. After all, others are scholars!

"Li Xin, what's the matter?"

Zhang Zhun sat on the back of the horse and asked condescendingly.

Because of the understanding in his previous life, Zhang Zhun's impression of this Li Xin can be said to be strange. Speaking of Li Xin, we have to talk about the Red Lady. Fortunately, the red lady is already his person, otherwise, Zhang Zhun may think about it seriously, whether he wants to ask about the relationship between this guy and the red lady.

"The late born Li Xin will see Lord Dudu."

"I implore Lord Governor to save the people of Kaocheng County!"

Li Xin came to Zhang Zhun, first saluted respectfully, and then said earnestly.

"You came to me to save the people of Kaocheng County?"

Zhang Zhun stared at Li Xin with shining eyes, and asked a little puzzled.

He thought that Li Xin came to find him, there was something special, but he didn't expect that it was actually to ask for the lives of the people of Kaocheng County. The clothes on his upper body are quite clean, but the clothes on his lower body are quite dirty, and there is a lot of mud on them. As for his boots, they were covered with mud, and the original color was barely recognizable.

It seems that he "must have suffered a lot" along the way. If I remember correctly, Li Xin's hometown should not be in Kaocheng County, and he is very likely to have seen the tragic situation in Kaocheng County" and then thought of running to the east and west of the mountain to ask for help from the Tiger Ben Army. For a scholar, such behavior is indeed rare! In such troubled times, a scholar walking alone outside can easily die an unknown death.

Kaocheng County belongs to the territory of Henan, and it is not bounded by the ground in Shandong, "If you walk, it will take at least two days." Of course, there is no problem at all for the Tiger Army to forcibly occupy there. In this era, the sword is the king of grass, and whoever has an army stationed there is whose territory is there.

"Lord Governor" had some stragglers occupy Kaocheng County, burning, killing, and plundering ............"

Li Xin said with a sad expression.

It turned out that Li Xin did walk through Kaocheng County, and inadvertently a large number of stragglers came to Kaocheng County, burning, killing and looting in the city. He immediately realized that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly turned around and walked towards the ground of Shandong. He learned from the evil copy of the imperial court that "the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Ben Army is very strong, and if the Tiger Ben Army can make a move, it will definitely be able to drive away these stragglers" to save the local people from disaster. It was with such a simple thought that Li Xin came to the vicinity of Cao County without hesitation.

If you want to say that in the troubled times at the end of the Ming Dynasty, "who is the most terrible, the Tartars, officers and soldiers, and the rogues are among them, and ordinary people, as long as they are encountered, there is basically no possibility of survival." Among the officers and soldiers, these stragglers are the most troublesome. These scattered armies, or the ruffians who escaped from the barracks, must have done all kinds of evil and left nothing behind. The places they washed and swept were like floods, clean, not to mention living people, even living insects, there were not a few of them. Therefore, the people have always been most afraid of the remnants of the army.

However, what made Zhang Zhun feel puzzled was that Kaocheng County was in the easternmost part of Henan Province, and generally speaking, the Shaanxi rebel army rarely appeared here. Since the Shaanxi rebel army rarely appears here, the officers and soldiers naturally rarely follow it, so how can a large number of stragglers suddenly appear here? Is it a real straggler, or a fake straggler?

"Whose troops are the ones who burned and plundered Kaocheng County?"

Zhang Zhun asked in a cautious voice.

"Many people say that it is Zuo Liangyu's troops!"

Li Xin responded angrily.

"Zuo Liangyu's troops?"

Zhang Zhun nodded thoughtfully.

As long as Zuo Liangyu is mentioned, Zhang Zhun will think of his captivity. This guy is not very good at fighting, but he is very strong at burning, killing and looting. In the chaotic times at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the lives of the people were devastated, and at least tens of millions of people died, of which millions were killed by this Zuo Liangyu. These stragglers, perhaps, are not stragglers at all, but Zuo Liangyu deliberately sent them to burn and kill lewd and plunder. Otherwise, how could there be stragglers so far from the front line? This Zuo Liangyu really does everything!

When he was in Kaifeng Mansion, Zuo Liangyu also did things that were pointed. He once led the people in a county town to block the city, and it took five days before leaving. In these five days, no one knows what Zuo Liangyu did. Because, five days later, there are no living people in this county. Zuo Liangyu declared to the outside world that this county seat is the nest of the rogue. Idiots know that this is an excuse, however, the court just acquiesced in such an excuse.

"Xie Zhiyou!"

Zhang Zhun's blood swelled and shouted loudly.

If Zuo Liangyu still wants to create such a tragedy in Kaocheng County, the Tiger Benjun must intervene to stop it. Such a person is no longer just an enemy, he is simply completely inhuman. In terms of the vicious process in the heart, Zuo Liangyu and Huang Taiji can be completely compared.

"Here!"

Xie Zhiyou hurriedly rode over.

This time, Zhang Zhun came to the junction of Henan and Shandong, and the person in charge of personal cover was the bear cavalry battalion and the lion cavalry battalion of the Tiger Ben Army, and Xie Zhiyou was the commander of the bear cavalry battalion. In Yanzhou Mansion, a little farther away, the Huben Army cavalry still had two battalions on standby, namely the newly formed Eagle Cavalry Battalion and the Eagle Cavalry Battalion.

"This is Li Xin and Li Gongzi. According to his report, in Kaocheng County, there is a large group of stragglers who are ravaging the local people. You take the bear out of the camp and rush to Kaocheng County with Li Gongzi to arrest all those stragglers. Be careful not to let one person escape. and if the crime is great, it shall be handed over to the local people. ”

Zhang Zhun commanded in a deep voice.

"Understood!"

Xie Zhiyou stood up and saluted," replied loudly.

Zhang Zhun glanced at Li Xin and said casually: "Li Gongzi, do you know how to ride a horse?" ”

Li Xin hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

Zhang Zhun waved his hand, and someone led Li Xin to a war horse.

"Thank you for your kindness!"

Li Xin bowed to Zhang Zhun and then turned over and followed Xie Zhiyou.

Judging from the movement of him turning over and getting on the horse, it was quite neat, and it seemed that he had practiced riding since then. Zhang Zhun couldn't help but become more and more suspicious, perhaps, this Li Xin is really the legendary Li Xin, the future Li Yan. If so, we can recruit him as soon as possible. This person can be said to be the first right-hand man under Li Zicheng, and he has made a lot of achievements for Li Zicheng. It would be a pity if it was snatched away by Li Zicheng.

"Li Xin!"

Zhang Zhun suddenly shouted.

"What do you command?"

Li Xin hurriedly turned his horse's head and came to Zhang Zhun.

"Li Xin, the matter of Kaocheng County can not be solved by the army alone. The world is like this: "It is difficult for them to be left alone when they are unarmed." This time, the stragglers were wiped out, and there will be more stragglers coming over next time. You tell the local people that if they want to get a guarantee of safety, they can only migrate to Shandong, "Our Tiger Army will protect their safety." ”

"The second feasible way is that Kaocheng County organizes its own army, organizes the city defense army, and so on, to ensure its own security. In this regard, we can provide corresponding guidance. If you need a weapon or something, we can do the same. But "as soon as you receive our weapons, accept our leadership." ”

Zhang Zhun said methodically.

"Lord Dudu, I will explain it to them in detail in the later life."

Li Xin's comprehension ability is actually very strong, and he quickly understood the true meaning of Zhang Zhun.

Zhang Zhun's "true" meaning "is to insert the banner of the Tiger Ben Army into the territory of Henan." As long as the people of Kaocheng County are willing, the Tiger Ben Army will garrison troops in Kaocheng County, and then "provide guidance" to the local city defense army. Basically, if the Tiger Ben Army were stationed here, there should be no stragglers to attack and harass.

"Okay, there you go!"

Zhang Zhun nodded and waved goodbye to Li Xin.

The sound of horses' hooves gradually faded away, and the figures of Li Xin and others disappeared quickly.

Zhang Zhun held a clairvoyant mirror and carefully observed the movement in the west. The cavalry under Zuo Liangyu's subordinates who retreated just now continued to roam over there, and it seemed that they were still preparing to negotiate with the Tiger Ben Army and try to capture Li Guo.

These guys, it's pathetic. Why don't they understand, how can they spit out what is in the hands of the Tiger Army?

Soon after, the cavalry seemed to have received some information, gathered quickly, and then galloped away to the west. Then, after another half a cup of tea, they appeared again. And, behind them, more cavalry followed. Judging from the equipment and armor of these cavalrymen, they should be the elite of the official army.

Seeing the arrival of a large number of official cavalry, the soldiers of the Huben Army Cavalry Lion Cavalry Battalion led by Li Zhaohui also quietly appeared around Zhang Zhun. Probably feeling the pressure of the cavalry of the Tiger Army, those official cavalry had to stop advancing. It can be seen from the clairvoyant mirror that many officers and cavalry are a little afraid of the appearance of the cavalry of the Tiger Army. In any case, the Tiger cavalry had defeated the Tartar cavalry face to face.

"My lord, it seems that Zuo Liangyu is here."

Wang Shide said quietly.

"Differentiable"

Zhang Zhun nodded lightly.

Sure enough, soon, those officers and cavalry just now, someone came over to negotiate with the cavalry of the Tiger Army. Liu Mang stepped forward, talked with the other party for a while, and then sent someone back to report that it was indeed Lord Zuo Liangyu, the chief officer of the Huguang Army, who wanted to talk to Lord Governor of the Huben Army. For some reasons that both sides knew, Zuo Liangyu wanted to meet with Zhang Zhun before the battle.

"A pre-battle meeting?"

"Do you think I'm an enemy?"

Zhang Zhun muttered to himself coldly, and slowly rode forward. Zuo Liangyu probably did too much bad things, and always felt that others were going to trouble him, and he cherished his own life. Every time you go out, try to avoid putting yourself in danger as much as possible. However, this time, when he met with the Tiger Ben Army, his wishful thinking "I'm afraid it will come to naught."

"Lord Governor" Zuo Liangyu is very insidious, and please please Lord Governor's heart. ”

Li Guo came over quietly and whispered a reminder in Zhang Zhun's ear.

"I know this man is insidious."

Zhang Zhun said casually.

Surrounded by Dugu Hunt and others, Zhang Zhun slowly rode his horse forward and appeared at the front of the team. In the queue of the opponent's cavalry, a person also slowly came out, slowly riding his horse forward, just in front of Zhang Zhun. He quickly stopped his horse. The distance between the two sides is about thirty meters.

Zhang Zhun looked at the person in front of him carefully, his figure was quite tall, "his hands and feet are thick, Kong Wu is powerful, and he looks like he is indeed a military general." His eyes are quite gloomy, like a venomous snake curled up, ready to suddenly bite you when you are not interested.

"Are you Zuo Liangyu?"

Zhang Zhun said quietly, Huang Zuo Liangyu is at least twenty years older than Zhang Zhun, "He has been on the battlefield for more than ten years, but Zhang Zhun's rank is higher than him." According to the rules, he should take the initiative to salute Zhang Zhun. However, asking him to salute Zhang Zhun "He couldn't do it, he didn't think of it at all, he had to salute Zhang Zhun at all." Therefore, he decided to pretend to be stupid, clasped his fists and saluted like a hero in the rivers and lakes, and said casually: "This is Zhang Zhun Zhang Dudu? ”

Zhang Zhun swept the other party coldly and said solemnly: "General Zuo, you should salute me." Zuo Liangyu said disappreciably: "Zhang Dudu, you and I don't belong to each other" These etiquettes are not needed? ”

Zhang Zhun snorted heavily in his nostrils, and said coldly: "The state has national laws, and the army has military regulations, if you don't need them, who will maintain the national laws and military regulations?" General Zuo has been on the front line for so long that he has forgotten even the most basic etiquette? Or is it that General Zuo never knew such military regulations? Zuo Liangyu didn't speak, but he didn't salute either, still staring at Zhang Zhun coldly and arrogantly in a dark color. Obviously, he is indeed not very interested in Zhang Zhun. It is no wonder that Zuo Liangyu is also a well-known figure in the Central Plains battlefield, because his heart is ruthless enough and his hands are hot enough, every time he fights against the rebel army, he basically does not suffer. As a result, this high-flying and domineering image has been developed. The Tiger Ben Army is certainly powerful in Beizhili, but he didn't see it with his own eyes, right?

"The Tao is not the same, General Zuo, please go back! You are not welcome in Shandong! ”

With a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth, Zhang Zhun said coldly.

"Li Guo is here with you?" Zuo Liangyu said with a somewhat gloomy face.

"So what?"

Zhang Zhun said expressionlessly.

"I chased him here from near Tongguan." Zuo Liangyu's face became even more gloomy.

"Shandong is my territory."

Zhang Zhun's face was equally gloomy. Zuo Liangyu gritted his teeth quietly, staring at Zhang Zhun with vicious eyes, like a poisonous snake waiting to attack.

Zhang Zhun stared at him fearlessly, as if he was the most clever snake catcher, and he didn't care about the existence of this poisonous snake at all. Zuo Liangyu said with a gloomy face: "Li Guo is Li Zicheng's nephew, what good is it for you to protect him?" ”

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "I will supervise the affairs of the lord, when will it be your turn to point fingers?" Zuo Liangyu's face was even more angry, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.

The two armies were at a stalemate, neither of them spoke, but they did not back down.

"Da Da Da!"

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the northwest.

Zhang Zhun raised the clairvoyant mirror to take a look, but it was the soldiers of the bear cavalry camp and Li Xin who had returned. From here to Kaocheng County, it only takes about half an hour for the cavalry to arrive, and it doesn't take two hours to add the battle. The cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army was dispatched to deal with some sporadic stragglers, which naturally came to capture them with their hands, and it did not take much time at all.

What made Zhang Zhun feel happy was that when the bear cavalry battalion set out, there were only more than 1,000 war horses, but when he came back, there were more than 2,000 war horses. In the ranks of the bear riding camp, there were also some prisoners. They were all tied up, then straddled on horseback, and brought back.

"My lord, we're back!"

Xie Zhiyou came to Zhang Zhun and stood up and saluted.

"How's it going?"

Zhang Zhun asked casually.

"There are more than 100 stragglers in total, all of whom are under our control. They are not infantry, but cavalry. Their horses have all been snatched by us. After entering the city, we fought with them for life. Of these, "237 were killed on the spot" and 563 were captured alive. It was handed over to the local people to be executed on the spot, and we brought back the remaining 400 people! They claimed that they "received orders from their superiors to go to Kaocheng County to collect grain." The local people could not hand over so much food, so they killed them. Only five of our soldiers were unfortunately wounded, and none were killed. Xie Zhiyou's report was short and clear.

"An order from a superior?"

Zhang Zhun glanced at Zuo Liangyu meaningfully. Zuo Liangyu's face was a little stiff, and he was quietly beckoning, asking his subordinates to come over, as if he was understanding the situation.

"What is the situation of the people in Kaocheng County?"

Zhang Zhun turned his head and asked Li Xin.

"Returning to the Governor, the people of Kaocheng County have lost more than thirty percent. Qing Zhuang was killed three or four hundred people, and the rest were arrested and prepared to be taken away as strong men. The looted property was also loaded into trucks and ready to be taken away. Fortunately, the Governor sent cavalry to rescue them in time, otherwise, they would all have been killed. ”

Li Xin said angrily.

When he spoke, he subconsciously stared at Zuo Liangyu not far away, and his eyes were a little red.

"General Zuo, is it your subordinate who went to Kaocheng County to fetch grain?" ”

Zhang Zhun turned his head to look at Zuo Liangyu and asked quietly.

"Zhang Zhun, what are you going to do here?" Zuo Liangyu sensed that something was wrong, and his face became darker.

"Someone set fire and looted in Kaocheng County, and I caught him. They confessed that it was General Zuo's subordinates who "were ordered by General Zuo to go to Kaocheng County to collect grain." Fight for food, beat food "Good order, if you don't have food, give me a fight!" General Zuo won't tell me that you have completely forgotten about this? ”

Zhang Zhun stared at Zuo Liangyu with shining eyes and said quietly.

"On what basis do you conclude that it was an arson? Maybe it's to capture the rogue? Where and how do my troops go to get food, it seems that it is not your turn to give advice? Henan is not the territory of your Tiger Army! In the affairs of Kaocheng County, I advise you not to interfere, so as not to get into trouble! Zuo Liangyu said with a gloomy face.

"This is my business, and I don't need your advice."

Zhang Zhun responded coldly. Zuo Liangyu's face became more and more gloomy, and he said slowly: "Zhang Zhun, let me tell you unmistakably that the one who went to Kaocheng County to collect grain was my army. There are a lot of rogue gangsters lurking in the local area, so they will change from collecting food to catching rogues. This is my order to them, and I don't need your interference. Your troops have penetrated deep into the territory of Henan, what do you want to do? ”

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "You ask your troops, have they all made some wells!" Zuo Liangyu said gloomily: "That's my business, what's your business?" ”

Zhang Zhun's face sank, and he said stiffly: "Zuo Liangyu, don't forget, I am still the rear army governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, don't talk about the affairs of Henan, it is the affairs of the whole country, I can manage them all." Are you still justified in plundering and plundering the township? Lu Xiangsheng can't rectify you, you still want to fly to the sky" Zuo Liangyu was angry and angry, and shouted angrily: "You dare!" ”

Zhang Zhun turned around, raised his hand, and said coldly: "Order, shoot all the scum who plagued the people." Xie Zhiyou and the others immediately took action, and pushed the captured Cui some stragglers to the ground, and a tiger blunt was put on top in front of them. Xie Zhiyou waved his hand, and the Tiger Ben Army soldier pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of gunshots rang out, and all the 400 stragglers who were captured were killed.

"You!" Zuo Liangyu was anxious and angry, his face was pale, but he didn't have the slightest solution.

He came specifically to pursue Li Guo this time, and he wanted to catch Li Guo and then ask for credit. Unexpectedly, just when he was about to achieve his goal, he would meet Zhang Zhun here. What's even worse is that Zhang Zhun has cavalry and infantry around him, and there are quite a few of them. If the two sides really fight, he is not too sure. However, he was also unwilling to retreat like this. He is used to being arrogant in the Central Plains, and he has never suffered such a loss.

Without thinking, Zuo Liangyu's first thought was that after going back, he would immediately gather a large number of troops to find trouble with Zhang Zhun. What the ban of the imperial court, for him, the base is invalid. But now, he had to bow his head. In desperation, Zuo Liangyu had no choice but to say viciously: "Zhang Zhun, we will meet later!" ”

Zhang Zhun shook his head gently, his face was a little strange, and he said softly in a low voice: "There will be no time in the future." ”

With that, he waved his hand lightly behind him. Zuo Liangyu's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously felt bad.

"Bang!"

A crisp gunshot rang out. On Zuo Liangyu's forehead, a blood hole suddenly appeared, and his entire body suddenly condensed.
