387 Zuo Menggeng's astonishing move

King Jingxiang laughed, how dare Shi Lei laugh at the prince, but I don't know why the prince came here today. www.biquge.info"Shi Lei is already a successful politician now, although he knows what Zuo Mengeng is doing this time, but he still has to pretend not to know and ask, which makes people feel helpless but there is nothing he can do."

Unlike Shi Lei, although Zuo Mengeng has the title of King Jingxiang on his body, and at the same time, as the nominal co-leader of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Zuo family's army, he can be regarded as a high-ranking person, but he does not have the city government that an upper-class person should have, so after hearing Shi Lei's knowingly questioning words, he said a little eagerly.

"Lord Shi, why you are here this time, as long as you are discerning, you know, so we don't need to go around in circles, your army of hundreds of thousands of troops, the time to stay here is not short, rather than wasting food here in vain, it is better to go south as soon as possible, so as to complete the task as soon as possible."

Hearing Zuo Mengeng's words, Shi Lei and Tong Chenfu and others beside him couldn't help but leak a trace of imperceptible smiles on their faces, after all, with Zuo Menggeng's words, they would be able to enter the land of Huguang in the name of righteousness, without worrying about being criticized by the world.

"Okay, since King Jingxiang is so happy, then this official will no longer beat around the bush, this time, King Jingxiang also knows that the reason why our army is dispatched is not for the land of Huguang, but because I don't want such an important place in the land of Huguang to fall into the hands of the Manchu Tartars, and I don't want to see General Zuo Liangyu, overcoming thorns and thorns, and the foundation left by conscientious work will be destroyed in one fell swoop, although the King of Jingxiang can rest assured, as long as he can successfully repel the army of the Manchu Tartars this time, My Shaanxi Ming army will immediately withdraw from the land of Huguang, I don't know, the king of Jingxiang has doubts about this. Shi Lei also changed the clichΓ© just now, but said bluntly.

After saying this, Shi Lei and the others looked at Zuo Mengeng with heart, you know, Shi Lei's suggestion, when it was first put forward, none of the people around agreed to it, after all, there was no Lei Feng at that time, they dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops, and after spending countless manpower and material resources, they finally repelled the Manchu army, but they didn't get any benefits, so they retreated in a gloomy way, which is probably unimaginable to anyone.

Therefore, after Shi Lei's persuasion several times, everyone finally reluctantly accepted, of course, Shi Lei is not so good-minded, a person who does good things without seeking benefits, the reason why he said this is that he is completely sure, after defeating the Manchu court, Zuo Mengeng will willingly take refuge in him, you know, now under the coercion of the Manchu army, Yang Dayan and others dare not blatantly oppose him, just persuade him to surrender, if you wait until the external pressure completely disappears, Will Yang Dayan and the others still put a Taishang Emperor on their heads, so when the time comes, Yang Dayan and others will definitely rebel, and in the face of the dominant Yang Dayan and others, the tens of thousands of horses in Zuo Mengeng's hands are not their opponents at all, and when the time comes, he will have no other way to go except to take refuge in the Shaanxi Imperial Court, of course, Shi Lei's plan will not let others know.

However, to the surprise of Shi Lei and many Shaanxi officials next to him, in the face of such generous conditions, Zuo Mengeng actually shook his head and did not agree.

"Lord Shi, I can't agree to this condition of yours."

Hearing Zuo Mengeng's words, for a while, Shi Lei and the others instantly became a little surprised, and Li Guo and other generals next to him were instantly angry, originally when Shi Lei said this condition, they didn't agree, and then they reluctantly agreed because of Shi Lei's coercion, but now, with such generous conditions, Zuo Mengeng actually disagreed, which is a bit deceitful.

Fortunately, after a short period of surprise, Shi Lei quickly reacted, although he didn't know what Zuo Mengeng thought in his heart, he still asked softly, "King Jingxiang, I don't know what other conditions you have, if so, please say it together, and I'll discuss it together." ”

Zuo Mengeng, who didn't know that he was standing on the edge of the cliff, only said something after hearing Shi Lei's words, but when he finished speaking, everyone present was once again a little stunned.

"Lord Shi, hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Zuojia Army were originally ministers of the imperial court, and the land of Huguang has always been the land of the imperial court, although in the previous time, due to various reasons, which caused disharmony between the imperial court and Huguang, but now, in the face of the invasion of the Manchu Tartars, how can we, as people of China, forget the hatred of the country and the family at this time, because of personal grievances, therefore, in the next time I came here to see Lord Shi, I hope to hand over the entire Zuojia army to the command of Lord Shi, at the same time, from today on, the land of Huguang, All the places under the control of my Zuojia army were returned to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court could send officials to accept it, and Meng Geng was willing to follow Lord Shi's side, be a pawn, and fight to the death for my Ming Dynasty to expel the Tartars. Zuo Mengeng said solemnly with a look on his face.

As soon as Zuo Mengeng's words were finished, everyone present was a little stunned, not only Shi Lei's group, but even the soldiers who had been following Zuo Mengeng's side were surprised to grow their mouths, everyone didn't expect that Zuo Mengeng would actually put forward such a huge plan, you know, although the current Zuo Mengeng is a puppet of the Zuo family's army, but after all, he is still the commander of hundreds of thousands of Zuo's army in name, and there are still a lot of people who are willing to be loyal to him, and there is also a title of King Jingxiang on him, This is canonized by the Shaanxi court, as long as he is not revoked, then their Zuo family can continue to be hereditary, of course, this also requires the Ming Dynasty to always exist.

Chinese people all say a sentence, that is, 'rather for the head of the chicken than the tail of the phoenix', in order not to want to be subservient, but now, at this time, Zuo Mengeng will take the initiative to give up the head of the chicken, and choose to be the tail of the phoenix, which completely breaks everyone's common sense, in this case, how can everyone not be surprised.

"Dashuai, you can't ......." The subordinate reacted to a general beside Zuo Mengeng, who was Han Goudan, but Han Goudan's words had just been exported, and he was interrupted by Zuo Mengeng's scolding, "Shut up, Ben Shuai has his own plans to do things, you can't wait for more." ”

During this period of time, Shi Lei and the others have already returned to normal, after all, from the beginning of Yulin City to the present, he has experienced too many things, even if it is this kind of shocking news, he is just a loss of mind.

Moreover, when Zuo Mengeng reprimanded Han Goudan, Shi Lei had already thought about the cause and effect of this incident in his mind, and soon, Shi Lei also understood the reason why Zuo Mengeng did this, and after thinking about it, a smile leaked from Shi Lei's face.

The reason why Zuo Mengeng did this proves that he is a smart person, and only a smart person who really has great wisdom will know what kind of things to do when and get the greatest benefits, just like Shi Lei thought before, no matter whether he can repel the Manchu army this time, the land of Huguang will not belong to Zuo Mengeng, he only has two choices, one is to take refuge in the Manchu court, so as to be a traitor that everyone spits on, and the other is to cooperate with the Shaanxi Ming army to repel the Manchu army, but after repelling the Manchu army, It doesn't mean that he is safe, he also understands the wolf ambitions of Yang Dayan and others, so in the end, if he wants to save his life, he still has to take refuge in the Shaanxi Imperial Court, that is, to Shi Lei.

Since sooner or later he wants to take refuge in Shi Lei, then why should he wait until the last desperate time to act, if it really comes to that time, I am afraid that he will only be able to live a quiet life in the future, without any achievements, but this does not say what Zuo Mengeng wants, as Zuo Liangyu's son, Zuo Mengeng also has some ambitions in his heart, and he is just in his twenties this year, it is the time when he is in his prime, how can he be willing to spend his life so ordinarily from now on, So after thinking about it for a few days, Zuo Mengeng finally made a decision.

That is, while he is still valuable, he will sell himself at a good price in advance, and more importantly, Zuo Mengeng still has some understanding of Shi Lei through understanding, he thinks that Shi Lei is the same character as Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, and is a hero with benevolence and righteousness.

"Has King Jingxiang really decided? You know, this matter is a big thing, there is no turning back from the bow, as long as you do it, you must stick to the end, otherwise, you will have to pay a painful price for regretting it halfway. After Shi Lei figured it out, he said to Zuo Mengeng with a proud face.

Hearing Shi Lei's question, Zuo Mengeng also tidied up his clothes with a straight face, then took two steps back, slammed the hem of his clothes, and knelt on the ground so abruptly, and then, I saw Zuo Mengeng take off the long sword at his waist, hold it with both hands, and then kneel on his knees for a distance, and after coming to Shi Lei, he raised his hands above his head, offered his sword and said, "My subordinate Zuo Mengeng has seen Lord Shi, and from now on Zuo Mengeng is a minister under Lord Shi, loyal to the lord, and will never turn his back." ”

Looking at Zuo Mengeng, who was kneeling in front of him and presenting the sword, Shi Lei thought for a while, a smile suddenly leaked from his face, and he grabbed the sword in Zuo Menggeng's hand suddenly, and then reached out to help him up, and then laughed and said, "Okay, well, since Menggeng has this wish, then the official has nothing to say, today's matter, the official will also be deeply in his mind, I hope we can drive out the Tartars as soon as possible and recast the mountains and rivers." ”

After hearing Shi Lei's laughter, for a moment, everyone present couldn't help laughing, the people on the side of the Shaanxi Ming Army were happy that they could easily get Zuo Mengeng's support, and the people on Zuo Menggeng's side quickly figured it out after the discomfort and surprise just now, and at the same time they were happy for Zuo Mengeng's decisive decision, after all, with the support of the powerful Shaanxi Imperial Court, they no longer had to live in fear.

........................

Zuo Mengeng's unexpected obedience made Shi Lei and others originally made an additional plan, in fact, how to defend the Zuo army's action against water at a critical moment, was stopped, so that the Ming army saved a lot of troops to be able to invest in the battle with the Manchu army, so, under the leadership of Zuo Mengeng, Shi Lei converged with the army led by Li Yan and Li Dingguo, hundreds of thousands of troops, with the help of hundreds of thousands of people, 100,000 troops, mighty into the land of Huguang, all the way, Xiangyang Mansion, Jingzhou Mansion, Some big cities and towns in the north of Huguang Land, with the support of Zuo Mengeng, were taken over by the Shaanxi Ming Army very smoothly.

It's a pity that after getting the Shaanxi Ming army into the land of Huguang, especially after Zuo Mengeng completely surrendered to Shi Lei, Yang Dayan and others, who originally wanted to use the Manchu army to force Zuo Mengeng to surrender, saw that the plan could not be implemented, so they decisively threw themselves into the Manchu court, because Yang Dayan and others were powerful, and the Yuezhou Mansion, Hanyang Mansion and other important cities that were originally in their hands fell into the hands of the Manchu army. Before being completely sure, no one dared to do anything to the other party first, for a while, what should have been an earth-shattering battle turned out to be very strange and became calm, but unfortunately, everyone knew that this was just a temporary calm before the storm, and if there was no war, as long as the battle started, then it would be an unprecedented tragic battle.

"Lord Hong, after careful thinking these days, this king thought that this time we fought with the Shaanxi Ming army, although it was huge, but it could not fully bloom, compared with the Shaanxi Ming army, we were relatively weak, so this king decided to divide the army in his hand into three parts, the main defense, Changsha Mansion, Yuezhou Mansion, Wuchang Mansion three places, more importantly, these three places are connected, just to form a better protective position, at the same time, it can also ensure that we are connected with Nanzhili, We can also get the support of Beijing City at any time, so that we, as the defensive side, can wait for the attack of the Ming army at ease, so that our chances of victory can also be greatly increased, I don't know what you think of this plan. In Changsha City, Azig asked Hong Chengchou.
