418, the flame of the great to see the arrogance (2)
The sound of the horse's hooves is very relaxed, which represents the mood of its owner at this time.
Zuo Liangyu laughed and said to the subordinate general Wang Yuncheng: "That Fang Kong Zhi was reprimanded by Prime Minister Xiong, haha, humiliating himself!" ”
"That is, Prime Minister Xiong is now about to rely on the general army, and Fang Kongzhi ran him to complain, which is really blindsided!" Wang Yuncheng also smiled.
They are all martial artists, and they are used to being suppressed by Wenchen, and now they see two Wenchen fighting, and they are naturally happy to watch the good show.
Fang Kongzhi is indeed stupid, but he can be regarded as revealing a tone, those people are indeed the family members allocated to him by Yu Guozhen...... Chen Hongfan heard Yu Guozhen's name and immediately changed color, and he was almost close to Fang Kong's fist, it was really a servile knee! Zuo Liangyu laughed at Chen Hongfan, who was also a military general.
This time he went to Xiong Camp as he expected, because he brought 3,000 elite soldiers, so Xiong Wencan didn't dare to help him at all. Moreover, Fang Kongzhi first defeated Zhang Xianzhong in Gong'an, and then relieved the siege of Jianli City, and his meritorious deeds have threatened Xiong Wencan's position, so Xiong Wencan has to suppress him.
Under such circumstances, Xiong Wencan was almost completely partial to Zuo Liangyu, and Zuo Liangyu didn't say a few words without yin or yang, so angry that Fang Kongzhi left on the spot.
Thinking of Fang Kongzhi's appearance, Zuo Liangyu couldn't help laughing again.
Then the laughter stopped abruptly.
"What's going on?" He looked suspiciously into the distance, at the sand hill where he had set his camp, and the smoke was billowing out, and at first he thought it was a cloud in the sky, but now that it was near, he saw that it was fire.
"Accidentally walked into the water?" Wang Yun became enlightened.
"Let me know which kid made this look like this, I'm going to have to chop him up!" Zuo Liangyu said with a calm face.
His good mood also ended here, and as he got closer and closer, he also felt more and more bad, because the scale of the smoke stretched for several miles, but it was not just a camp where he hid tens of thousands of people!
In Zuo Liangyu's village, in addition to 20,000 soldiers, there were nearly 10,000 women, all of whom he plundered. He knows that there are only two ways to boost morale, one is to send silver, and the other is to send women. He also loves silver, women, anyway, he can't use it alone, not to mention that these women are all from him to rush from all over the world.
After walking a little further, Zuo Liangyu thought about it, and sent scouts to reconnoitre, and Wang Yuncheng next to him said: "Maybe it's a reed." ”
"Shagang is next to it, if the reeds are lit......" Zuo Liangyu said a word, and did not say anything more.
The scout's expression was extremely anxious when he came back, and they dismounted and knelt down from a distance: "Master, the big thing is not good, our old camp has been served!" ”
"What?" Zuo Liangyu was stunned for a moment, and then became furious: "What about Meng Geng, where is Meng Geng?" ”
Several scouts glanced at each other, but no one dared to answer.
Zuo Liangyu didn't bother to ask again, so he urged the horse forward, fortunately, the people he led were the elite of his army, many of them had war horses, and followed him to Shagang, and from a distance, he saw that several camps had been dilapidated, and in the middle of the main camp, there was a corpse hanging on the beam of the gate, which was swaying in the wind.
Zuo Liangyu puffed and panted, dismounted, and walked towards the gate step by step.
Hanging there was Zuo Mengeng, his eyes were wide, he looked dead, his mouth was wide open, and the wind blew the corpse in mid-air, swaying, so that Zuo Liangyu could see that there was an empty hole in the back of his head. Zuo Liangyu judged that someone stuffed a musket into Zuo Menggeng's mouth, and then opened fire, killing him like this.
There wasn't a single living person around, it was all corpses.
All of them died completely, and many of them were clearly seriously injured and then stabbed. Zuo Liangyu didn't make a sound, lifted Zuo Menggeng's body, lowered it from the door, and then slowly walked into the camp.
The camp was even more in shambles, all the gold and silver he had looted were gone, and the women were all gone. Zuo Liangyu didn't say a word, his face was originally red, but now it was like blood. He walked forward step by step, until he reached the west gate of the stockade, and saw that in the Bailu Lake not far from the village, the originally lush reeds were now only a piece of withered trees. Among them, there are many charred corpses, and the air is filled with the smell of burnt meat, which makes people almost want to vomit.
"This ...... This ......"
His subordinates Wang Yuncheng, Ma Jinzhong, Xu Yong, etc., were all shocked.
Zuo Liangyu has suffered defeats, and even failed miserably, but it is the first time that he has been slaughtered like this! After the previous defeat, he just fled to a safe place, packed up and scattered and regrouped, and this time, the opponent burned and killed extremely thoroughly, and the 20,000 people he left in the camp were only afraid that the other party would kill 10,000 thousands!
Escapees, not even a quarter!
Such murderous methods, even Zuo Liangyu's generals, are also frightened! What kind of mortal enemy is this to commit such perverse violence?
"Fang Kongzhi!"
Zuo Liangyu finally spit out these three words from between his teeth.
He was an old man, and he could see that there were definitely not many people attacking his camp, no more than five thousand, and he used a lot of muskets, and they were extremely sharp. This is definitely not something that the rogue can do, if Zhang Xianzhong had such an army, he would have taken them to the south of the Yangtze River a long time ago, where would he still be poor in the Huguang area.
Only Fang Kongzhi, only the new Xianghuwei he borrowed from Yu Guozhen, can do this!
There is no doubt that Fang Kongzhi went to Xiong Wencan to complain and lure him away, in fact, so that he could take the elite away and act well. As for why he didn't kill him together, Zuo Liangyu still couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to think about it.
Don't dare to think about it, because of fear.
Just as Yu Guozhen expected, only a more vicious means than him can frighten him and let him know what awe is. Zuo Liangyu thought of the Huguang soldiers of less than 5,000 people, and almost wiped out his nearly 20,000 soldiers, and knew that his strength was nothing in the eyes of the other party!
Not only his own strength, but also himself, if the other party wants, he can also attack with dignity and take his surname away!
There was no corpse of the enemy at the scene, but some blood stains could be seen, which proved that the enemy also had casualties, but the casualties were less than 100 people, in Zuo Liangyu's opinion, this casualty was almost negligible. With less than 100 casualties, he annihilated 20,000 of his sergeants and calmly cleaned up the battlefield, which proves that the entire battle process lasted very short.
Probably less than half an hour!
Zuo Liangyu is a person who is fierce and timid, and when facing an opponent who is weaker than him, or an opponent who is equal to his strength, he will rely on his ferocity, arouse courage, and wantonly bully. But when he is confronted with someone who is far more cruel than him, he is so frightened that he does not even dare to look at it.
"We ...... We...... Walk! Thinking that Fang Kongzhi dared to do such a thing, Zuo Liangyu's only thought was to go to Xiong Wencan and hug Xiong Wencan's thigh, only in this way could he feel safe temporarily. Fang Kongzhi dared to do something to him, but he didn't dare to do it to Xiong Wencan.
He went and returned, which surprised Xiong Wencan, and thought that this unruly and unscrupulous general was coming to find some trouble again, but he couldn't think of it, but when he heard that the messenger said that he knelt in front of the camp, his heart moved again.
When he came out to see Zuo Liangyu, Xiong Wencan was startled, Zuo Liangyu originally had a ruddy complexion, but at this moment he was as gray as a dead man.
"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, help, help!" Seeing Xiong Wencan come out, Zuo Liangyu stepped forward on his knees, hugged Xiong Wencan's legs, and cried. This look is really sad for those who see it, and those who hear it are in tears: what kind of situation makes this person like this!
Xiong Wencan was a little happy on the one hand, but on the other hand, he also felt a little inexplicable. When he left, Zuo Liangyu was still proud, why is this now?
"Prime Minister, Fang Kongzhi insisted on going his own way, because the lower officials agreed with the prime minister's strategy of appeasement, so he wanted to get rid of the lower officials and then quickly, so he transferred the lower officials to the prime minister's office, but sent people to attack the lower officials' military camp, and the lower officials' righteous son and the 20,000 soldiers in the whole battalion were all killed by him...... Prime Minister, Fang Kongzhi is going to rebel and rebel! ”
A military general accused a local governor of rebellion, and Xiong Wencan almost wanted to laugh. But he was able to climb to his current position, although he was not familiar with military strategy, he was not completely incompetent, and he immediately noticed a key point in Zuo Liangyu's accusation.
Fang Kongzhi instructed Hu Guangbing to attack Zuo Liangyu, and he did so while he was mediating between the two in the camp!
This only proves one thing, Fang Kongzhi didn't expect his mediation to work from the beginning, the so-called mediation is just an excuse to bring out Zuo Liangyu's elite!
A mere governor actually toyed with him, the squire of the military department and the military gate of the prime minister of the seven provinces, between applause!
Anger rose, Xiong Wencan suddenly raised his hand, and was about to send someone to summon Fang Kongzhi. But seeing Zuo Liangyu kneeling in front of him, his heart moved again.
Xiong Wencan still has no intention of appeasing Zhang Xianzhong until now, but he also sees the situation clearly, even after the defeat of Jianli, Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates still have nearly 300,000 coerced people, and if the elite in his hands is not lost, he will definitely not accept the appeasement. And to defeat his main force, Zuo Liangyu certainly needs it, and Fang Kongzhi also needs it.
Fang Kongzhi also colluded with the liukou and slandered the military gate, and had some ...... There are some things that the officials really dare not say! ”
"Say!"
"Fang Kongzhi threatened, saying that when the prime minister recruited Zheng Zhilong, he accepted a bribe from Zheng Zhilong, and the prime minister's military gate supervised Fu Fu to 'build two Guangzhous and amassed 2.7 million yuan of family wealth......
"Phew!" Xiong Wencan was furious, this is his old bottom: "Hugh is talking nonsense, the old man's family wealth is all innocent!" ”
Zuo Liangyu was silent for a while, Xiong Wencan's anger was not gone, he took two steps with his hands behind his back, and when he saw Zuo Liangyu's pitiful appearance, he said again: "If you join forces in my camp, I will send someone to summon Fang Kongzhi, Tong's city is so bold, I will not let him go!" ”
Hearing his words, Zuo Liangyu was secretly happy in his heart. In any case, Xiong Wencan will protect him now, and Fang Kongzhi can't help him for the time being.
Xiong Wencan's camp was still far from Jianli, so it took a while for the envoy to go back and forth, and when the envoy came back, Fang Kongzhi did not follow, and the news brought made Xiong Wencan dumbfounded.
Fang Kongzhi attacked Zhang Xianzhong, who surrounded Jing'zhou, and went to the main formation!
