Chapter 65: The Tangled Liu Liangzuo

Liu Liangzuo, who was stationed in Fengyang and Shouzhou, was called "Flower Horse Liu" because he often rode a zebra, and like Gao Jie, he used to be a subordinate of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, Gao Jie was in charge of the inner camp, and Liu Liangzuo was in charge of the outer camp.

Later, Gao Jie surrendered to the imperial court, and Liu Liangzuo saw that he was quite used by the imperial court, so he surrendered immediately.

After Liu Liangzuo surrendered to the imperial court, he has been fighting against the peasant army in Fengyang, Luzhou, and Lu'an, and has been promoted to the rank of chief military officer.

The corruption of Liu's military discipline was famous in the four towns, so that when Ma Shiying transferred him to Linhuai, the soldiers and civilians of Linhuai Mansion automatically landed in the city and refused to enter the city, and then were forced to settle in Shouzhou.

After Duoduo's army went south, Liu Liangzuo was restless.

After the Qing troops besieged Yangzhou, Liu Liangzuo made up his mind, as long as Yangzhou was lost, he would immediately lead his troops to surrender Duoduo, of course, before the formal surrender, he had to send someone to contact first.

How do you know that there is a problem with this contact, during the contact, the Prince of Yu Duoduo, who has been invincible and invincible, was defeated under the city of Yangzhou, and was defeated by the "angel" sent by God.

Of course, the battle-hardened "Huama Liu" knew that it was definitely inappropriate to judge the hero by defeat, so he delayed for many days, and dealt with the messenger sent by the Qing soldiers perfunctorily, until he heard the news that Xu Dingguo was completely annihilated in Yangzhou and Geng Jimao was defeated.

This successive news made Liu Liangzuo have to be careful.

To find a master, you have to find a potential stock, like Duoduo, who has been defeated again and again, is it worth taking refuge in himself, Liu Liangzuo feels that he needs to investigate again.

When Duoduo sent people to urge him to send troops to ** reinforcements, Liu Liangzuo's heart began to really waver.

The small ** city, Duoduo personally led an army of more than 100,000 people, even if Huang Degong's troops are all concentrated in **, I am afraid it may not be its opponent, what happened in Yangzhou?

As always, drag on.

The forces are scattered, and it takes time to concentrate; It is difficult to prepare grain and grass, and it is difficult to gather it for a while, which is also the reason.

As for whether to send someone to Yangzhou to contact the superintendent Shi Kefa, this also needs to be considered.

Duoduo was so depressed that he couldn't even withdraw his troops.

The Luzhou Army and the Yangzhou Army did not dare to catch up, but hundreds of cavalry chased behind. A single charge will kill them all.

But that's not the case at all.

These cavalry were extremely cunning, they stared at the infantry of the Qing Dynasty, threw a few earth-shattering thunders at every opportunity, and then came up to slash and kill for a while, and when the white-armored soldiers heard the news and rushed to come, they turned their horses and left, without delay at all.

They seemed to be able to see very far, and as soon as the Qing cavalry was dispatched, they ran away.

It's really too late to run, so a few people came down, and threw that kind of earth-shattering thunder towards the Qing cavalry, although the white-armored soldiers in the gallop suffered little loss, but they could always lose a few people, and they also startled the horses, so they couldn't chase anymore.

For an army of more than 100,000 horses, the loss of one or two thousand men was really nothing, but the morale was extremely low by these cavalry, and even the grain and grass were burned a lot by them.

It was almost time to arrive in Chuzhou, and the angry Duoduo decided to stop the army and deal with these cavalry first.

When the army stopped, they heard the scouts report that they were all gone.

These cavalry were sent by Luo Jian, and the leading general was Lou Ting, the cavalry captain of the first division.

Originally, Luo Jian also had to arrange a few rifles to accompany him, so as to prevent the encirclement and suppression of the Qing cavalry.

But Liu Zhaoji resolutely disagreed, a damaged magazine had already made him afraid, and if he had to lose a few more rifles, it would cost him his life.

Lao Liu said that if he wanted to bring a rifle, then he would personally lead the team.

Luo Jian was helpless, so he had to ask Lou Ting to bring the telescope, with this thing, at least he could watch the enemy first, but he couldn't run first, couldn't he run first?

Huang Degong also arranged more than 100 people, these cavalrymen are all experienced in battle, and they are very familiar with the local terrain, this requirement Luo Jian of course can't ask for.

According to the predetermined plan, these cavalry "escorted" the Qing army to Chuzhou and returned, so when Duoduo tried to annihilate them outside Chuzhou, they were already on their way back.

Lou Ting sat on the horse and was still savoring the explanation given by the Metropolitan Governor before leaving, and he was still a little unconvinced at that time, how could there be such a war? When the enemy comes, let's retreat? To put it mildly, that's called running away.

The Governor also said that when the enemy was stationed, let them come forward and harass them incessantly, so that they would not be at peace. This is a really good idea, in the past few days of constant harassment, more than 1,000 Qing soldiers have been killed, and so much grain and grass has been burned by the Qing soldiers.

The Metropolitan Governor also brought us the treasure of clairvoyance, saying that he would use this to observe the movements of the Qing cavalry, and if they came, they would retreat quickly.

I remember saying that it was not without eggs? The Governor said, "You are not courage, but you are touching an egg against a stone." The Metropolitan Governor is a man of culture, and he does not speak as vulgarly as we do, and courage, you see, speaks more elegantly.

Now it seems that what the Metropolitan Governor said is right, once he just retreated a little slower, and lost more than a dozen horsemen, if it weren't for a few brothers holding grenades to cover desperately, it is really unclear whether the whole army can run away.

Lou Ting thought about it and smiled when he thought about it, and the soldier next to him saw it and asked, "Captain, what are you happy about?"

"Do you say that the Metropolitan Governors are immortals from the sky? Not only are they all treasures that we haven't seen, but even the Qing soldiers are calculated to death in battle. The young soldier asked his captain.

"Haven't you heard from the Governor? None of them are immortals, but they have learned more than us. The Metropolitan Governor also said that when the situation is no longer tight, we will have to ask someone to teach us literacy and culture. ”

Listening to Lou Ting's explanation, the young soldier showed a longing look on his face, and muttered, "Can we learn to read and write?" ”

"Yes! When does the Metropolitan Governor speak not count? When the time comes, if you kid can't learn well, I'm going to whip you! Although the soldier's voice was small, Lou Ting heard it.

"Sir, I must study hard. At the beginning, there was a talent in our village, who loved to sit at the head of the village and read books, and we didn't let us get closer, saying that we are not worthy of reading the books of sages and sages, and now I am angry when I think about it. What's so great, most of the characters like the gods and goddesses are not as big as his shelf. ”

The young soldier was a little chatter, and he didn't finish talking about it, Lou Ting listened impatiently, patted the horse's neck, and shouted "Drive!" Homecoming! ”

Accompanied by the sound of galloping horses' hooves, the sound of "going home" was heard far away.

Liu Liangzuo, who was restless, waited for another group of messengers, but this messenger was sent by Luo Jian, the governor of Huaiyang.

I have long heard that this Luo Jian is the "angel" who defeated the Duoduo army in Yangzhou, and was later rewarded by the imperial court as the governor of the capital, and it stands to reason that he is now his subordinate.

If it was a messenger sent by Shi Inspector, he could just deal with it, or simply ignore it.

At the beginning, Shi Kefa supervised Huaiyang, to be honest, Shi Kefa was just a scholar, and he was powerless, and he really didn't take him seriously.

The messenger sent by the "angel" governor must not be sloppy, and must be well received, and he must not let them know that the Manchu messenger is still living on the other side of the city.

In the past, the messengers sent by the superintendent were polite to themselves, and they never regarded them as errands, but although the messengers who came today were not arrogant, they were also completely in a posture of being on a business, which made me really bottomless in my heart, and I had to investigate the situation first.

Wang Xiuchu was sitting on the guest seat of Liu Liangzuo's mansion in Shouzhou, drinking tea, with a very serious look on his face. In fact, it is not so much that it is sent, but that Wang Xiuchu Mao recommended himself to come to Shouzhou.

Liu Liangzuo hasn't come over yet, I heard that he went to the military camp outside the city, maybe he went to discuss countermeasures, Wang Xiuchu was not in a hurry, holding a teacup, but his mind was thinking about the bits and pieces of the past half a month.

At the beginning, the supervisor sent himself to Luo Angel to be a secretary, but he was actually unwilling, what kind of position is "secretary"? I've never heard of this.

When he came to Yangzhou from Jiangdu, in addition to responding to the call of the superintendent to serve the imperial court, he also wanted to follow the superintendent to learn.

There are a lot of people like himself in the Jixian Pavilion around the superintendent, and for some reason the superintendent fell in love with him and recommended himself to Luo Angel.

Later, Luo Angel explained to himself that the secretary was a staff member next to the chief, and he was helping the chief pick up the gaps, and he understood the responsibilities of the secretary.

Before he could fully adapt to this identity, Luo Angel had been appointed as the governor of the capital by the imperial court, and it seemed that he had more power than the governor.

Most of the Governors are very kind and optimistic, and they do not have the same serious or even sad expressions as the Governors.

The Metropolitan Governor seems to be able to talk to anyone, and he can talk to people like the Governor and Ren Futai all day, and he can also go to the barracks to brag and chat with the most ordinary soldiers, and they can talk for an hour, and even chat with customers in the shops on the street for a long time.

I know that since the death of the first emperor, the generals have become more and more domineering, and only loyal and brave people like Liu Zhaoji are willing to be driven by the superintendent, but other generals love to listen to the orders of the superintendent.

But this Metropolitan Governor seems to be different, this Li Chengdong was originally a fierce general in Gao Jie's army, and he was as unruly as Gao Jie, but in front of the Metropolitan Governor, he was like a mouse meeting a cat, and he was eaten to death. Even Huang Degong is a marquis, with 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses, and he is also obedient to the governor.

The Metropolitan Governor is not very old, not much older than himself, but he is erudite and talented, and even the Governor admires it, but what the Metropolitan Governor has learned seems to be different from everyone else.

This is not a joke when he received the holy decree, and the Metropolitan Governor actually said that he did not recognize all the seal characters, which is funny when he thinks about it now.

Wang Xiuchu thought about it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This made the servant standing next to him a little puzzled, so he quickly bowed down and gave a salute, quietly retreated, went out and walked through the two courtyards, and found Liu Liangzuo and quickly said what he saw.

"You mean that the messenger surnamed King laughed while he sat down? How many of them didn't speak to each other? Liu Liangzuo was a little puzzled, what is so ridiculous about running to me.

"Back to the old man, the few of them didn't speak, and the messenger surnamed Wang seemed to be thinking about something, and he smiled when he thought about it." The next person reported truthfully.

Liu Liangzuo waved his hand to let his subordinates go down, and asked a few of his staff, "Why do you think this messenger is laughing at himself?" ”

"Maybe the situation in Yangzhou has improved greatly, and he is happy in his heart." A staff member dressed as a scholar said.

Several other people echoed one after another, the messengers sent by the superintendent in the past were all sad, and they came to Uncle Liu in a pleading tone, how could this messenger be so calm?

After thinking about it, Liu Liangzuo still felt that he had to meet the messenger. He didn't know that there were not only this batch of messengers sent by Luo Jian, but also three groups of messengers who went to Fengyang, Linhuai and Huo Qiu respectively.
