The next morning, the sun was shining, the sky was cloudless, and it was a rare good weather, and in the tent of the commander of the army, Liu Fan was discussing the military situation with the General Staff Headquarters and Wu Tao and other officers. At this moment, the big tent was opened, and the herald entered the inner hall to report, "Dashuai! Zuo Liangyu of the Cishan Department came to visit, and now he has arrived outside the camp gate! ”

Liu Fan looked away from the map, turned around and said, "Zuo Liangyu? Coming so soon? Ladies and gentlemen! Come and see what I want! With that, he led everyone out of the big tent and walked out!

Liu Fan just led people to the camp gate, and saw from a distance that a team of soldiers wearing Daming Mandarin Duck jackets were standing outside the barracks, and a person who looked like a general at the head was anxiously stomping not far away, and when he saw Liu Fan and others coming, his eyes lit up and stepped forward quickly, grabbed Liu Fan's hand and said with a smile on his face: "This must be Liu Fan and Liu Jimin, the Jiaozhou garrison officer!" Ay! I have long heard that we have produced a big hero in Shandong, with great achievements, and the power of Shandong, and Kong Youde, who beat him, can be regarded as seeing a real person today! Brother Liu! In the lower left Liangyu, I have admired the name for a long time! ”

Liu Fan looked at this burly and imposing red-faced man, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart, this Zuo Liangyu is too familiar! Looking at his big furry hands again, his face twitched, and he secretly tugged at the hands held by Zuo Liangyu, but he didn't move! Liu Fan said helplessly: "I have heard of Brother Zuo's prestige for a long time!" It's an honor to see it today! Come! It's rare for us to meet, so let's talk about it! ”

Zuo Liangyu laughed, let go of Liu Fan's hands, hugged Liu Fan's shoulders, and said with a smile, "Brother Liu is really a refreshing person!" My old Zuo is a rough man, and his temperament is straightforward, Brother Liu, don't be surprised! ”

Liu Fan's face stiffened, turned his head and said, "Brother Zuo is also a true hero!" Without further ado, let's settle first! It's already noon, and I've ordered my men to prepare some food and drink, so wouldn't it be nice for us to talk while drinking! Please! After that, he broke free of Zuo Liangyu's big hand, led the way in front with an ugly face, and scolded in his heart, Nima! Are you Zuo Liangyu a rough man? Fool the ghost! it! That's a lot of strength!

For Zuo Liangyu, Liu Fan already knows him well from the history books, if Wang Pu is a model of greed for life and fear of death! That Zuo Liangyu is a model of scum! Judging by his actions, it can be said that he committed adultery and plunder, and did all kinds of evil. As the saying goes, "bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grates", that "soldier" is talking about people like Zuo Liangyu, and it is common to kill good people and take risks, robbing places, and harming the people is even better than the rogue gangster! But I have to admit that Zuo Liangyu still has some talents, he can live from the first year of Chongzhen to the end of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and the more he lives, the better he is, once became one of the four towns in the north of the Nanming River, known as "800,000 troops", if there were no two brushes, there would have been no bones left to be eaten by the rogues!

For the people, Zuo Liangyu is a complete villain, and his reputation is not much better. For the imperial court, Zuo Liangyu is still a general who can fight well. In the years when the Central Plains exterminated the Liukou, the troops led by Zuo Liangyu even became one of the indispensable main forces. For such a person, Liu Fan's attitude is to stay away. Even if there was a chance, Liu Fan didn't mind killing him. But not yet, Liu Fan still needs Zuo Liangyu, a local snake, to guide him, after all, he has been fighting with the rogue for many years and has a deep understanding of his habits.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Fan and the others had already entered the handsome tent, and after the wine and food were served, Liu Fan introduced everyone one by one, and then Liu Fan, who was sitting on the main seat, said to Zuo Liangyu who was at the bottom of the head, "Brother Zuo came at the right time, I can't hide it, although His Majesty ordered to rush to the aid of Jinan and exterminate the thieves, but the specific arrangements were not arranged!" Little brother, I don't know much about the surrounding situation when I first came here, and I hope that Brother Zuo will solve my doubts! ”

Zuo Liangyu put down the chicken leg in his hand, wiped the oil stains on his mouth, and said with a smile, "Brother Liu is polite!" You and I are fellow villagers, and now we are fighting side by side, so we should help each other! Since Brother Liu asked! Then I'll tell you, this form! Now it's really not optimistic! Since January this year, the thieves have been like a fish in water when they entered Jinan. Zuo is not talented, has been entangled with these thieves and fought a few battles, and they are also protecting each other, but there are too few soldiers in their hands to fight and fight, and now I have not brought out many people from Changping, but fortunately, I have recently added some barely enough two thousand people! ”

Liu Fan hesitated: "What about this situation? ”

Zuo Liangyu smiled: "Hey! Brother Liu, don't worry! Listen to me slowly! Now, after a few battles, we and the thieves have basically formed a confrontation situation. Ni Pet from Beijing, Wang Pu was stationed in Cixian County to guard against the thieves in Anyang, Henan, and Tongye in the direction of Tongye, and our department was stationed in Cishan to guard against the thieves in Shexian and other places. In addition, Cao Wenzhao's troops in Qin County have basically formed an encirclement of the bandit army in the Taihang Mountains. Now with Brother Liu, your 20,000 army, it can be said that you have the chance to win! ”

Saying that, Zuo Liangyu said with envy on his face: "Alas! The same Garrison Officer! Brother Liu has an army of 20,000, but I only have 2,000 people! Can't compare! Can't compare! ”

Liu Fan smiled, and did not pick up, but said directly, "Brother Zuo's words have benefited the junior brother a lot!" Thank you Brother Zuo for solving my doubts! ”

Zuo Liangyu waved his hand and said, "Brother Liu is polite!" You and my fellow villagers don't help you, who do you help! If you're embarrassed, just give me some weapons and food! It's just that I'm worried about this right now! ”

Liu Fan scolded in his heart, this guy is really good at climbing along the pole! But he still smiled and said, "What Brother Zuo said is that we are all children of Shandong, and only by working together can we develop together!" So be it! I allocated 1,000 stone of food, 500 broadswords and spears, and 200 mandarin duck battle jackets! Fifty shields! Even if it's a meeting gift for Brother Zuo! ”

Zuo Liangyu was overjoyed when he heard this, patted his thigh and shouted, "Righteousness!" What a righteousness! Brother Liu deserves to be my hero in Shandong! There's really nothing to say about being a person! From today onwards, my old Zuo's life will be sold to Brother Liu! But there is an order for Lao Zuo to go to the soup and fight the fire! ”

Liu Fan waved his hand and said, "It's serious!" It's serious! In the future, I will rely on the help of my brother Zuo! Just a little heart! Nothing! ”

With such a show, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became warm, Zuo Liangyu's face was full of joy, and good words seemed to gush out at Liu Fan! Even if Liu Fan knows Zuo Liangyu very well, he can't help but have a good impression of him! In the end, the two agreed that in the event of a war, they would advance and retreat together and work together to exterminate the thief army.

After the banquet, Zuo Liangyu left with food and weapons with a happy face. Liu Fan looked at Zuo Liangyu's back and was fascinated, this person is really difficult to deal with! (To be continued.) )
