For several days in a row, Zuo Liangyu received several urging orders from Xiong Wencan, the prime minister of the six provinces, every day, urging him to immediately send troops to Fang County to suppress Zhang Xianzhong and Cao Cao and other bandits.

In Junzhou City, Zuo Liangyu took another newly delivered urging order, and threw it aside without looking at it.

"Urge, urge, urge his grandmother to have a leg." Zuo Liangyu cursed. "I only know that I blindly urge the army, but what about the military salary, grain and grass, ordnance supplies, and the rewards and pensions of the soldiers, there is no one."

Zuo Liangyu now has 9,000 men and horses under his command, which can be regarded as a strong soldier. However, with the title of a commander-in-chief of the reinforcement army, it is only a guest army. He was originally born in the Guanning army, but was later fired, and then took refuge under the command of Hou Sui, the governor of Changping, and was reactivated, and finally earned back the title of chief soldier by desperately trying his best.

After that, he was transferred from outside the customs to the Guannei, and then transferred to the Central Plains, since Chongzhen was ordered to be transferred south to participate in the suppression of bandits until now, he has been in the Central Plains for eight years. There are countless bandits who died under him, and he also won the title of a grandfather Zuo among the bandits, but after fighting back and forth, his career has hardly improved, but he has been impeached and condemned several times. If he hadn't been able to fight, I'm afraid he would have been locked up and taken out of prison a long time ago. Every time he has just won a reward for his meritorious service, he will definitely have to be demoted because of impeachment, and he will be promoted and demoted again, I don't know how many times, and in the end his official position is standing still. Ten years ago, he was a deputy commander-in-chief, and ten years later, he was just a general.

Speaking of Zhang Xianzhong, Zuo Liangyu looked down on this bandit at all, although he was very famous among the thieves, but Zhang Xianzhong was defeated in the hands of Zuo Liangyu several times, and last year, he was even shot in the shoulder by Zuo Liangyu with an arrow, and then slashed Zuo Liangyu in the face with a knife, and he was bleeding all over his face, and he almost lost his hand.

Zhang Xianzhong had to be rescued by his subordinates at that time and fled into Gucheng. I had to ask the court for surrender. Zuo Liangyu didn't believe that Zhang Xianzhong would surrender at all, Zhang Xianzhong had surrendered more than once before, once the situation was not good, he would surrender, and he would rebel again when he had a chance to breathe. Zuo Liangyu insisted on taking the opportunity to exterminate the thieves, but Xiong Wencan had to be touched.

Caress his mother! Thinking of this, Zuo Liangyu was resentful.

Just last winter, there was a mutiny in Xuzhou, where Zuo Liangyu placed his family, and his family was wiped out, except for his son Zuo Mengeng, who followed him in the army, Zuo Liangyu's wives and concubines and children did not escape this catastrophe.

Zuo Liangyu attributed the hatred of the mutiny to the bandits, if it weren't for these thieves making trouble everywhere. The officers and soldiers were busy with encirclement and suppression, and they were tired of responding to orders, and there would be no such thing as a mutiny.

Zuo Liangyu also looked down on his boss Xiong Wencan from the bottom of his heart, he had followed many people, Yuan Chenghuan, Ma Shilong, Cao Wenzhao, Hou Sui, Sun Chengzong, Chen Qiyu, Lu Xiangsheng, Zhang Guowei and many other bosses, among which he looked down on Xiong Wencan the most. A greedy guy who doesn't understand anything but blind commands.

Before, he tried his best to appease Zhang Xianzhong, giving Zhang Thief a chance to breathe. Then wait until the thief Zhang rebels again. He asked for orders to send troops to encircle and suppress, but Xiong Wencan deliberately delayed time and prevented them from sending troops, giving Zhang Xianzhong and Cao Cao a chance to meet. Now for a moment. Xiong Wencan began to urge him several times a day to suppress him, but he refused to pull out any money and food.

"General, my subordinates heard that Xiong Wencanzheng sent someone to urgently transfer Liu Jun to the north, and it is said that he also sent 50,000 taels of silver to Liu Jun. I heard that he also promised that when Liu Jun led his troops to Xiangyang, he would draw another 50,000 yuan to Liu Jun. ”

"Liu Jun? That Mr. Lian who took shit luck? Zuo Liangyu snorted coldly, his face was very ugly.

"That's the guy. I don't know what kind of shit luck I had, but I actually wiped out the old brother Drill Sky Leopard and a battalion of people. ”

Zuo Liangyu said disdainfully, "It's just a battalion of bandits, even if it is destroyed, over the years, we have suppressed bandits in the Central Plains, and the bandits killed by our men are not 100,000 but 80,000." Although he said this, he was still full of jealousy, he had been fighting for life and death for so many years, and he was still a general soldier, even a general soldier who did not even have a territory. And Liu Jun, who was still stinking and had not dried up, was just a little martial artist before, and he was the general manager of the county regiment, but because he only exterminated a group of blind bandits, he was actually named a guerrilla general by the emperor, and even Xiong Wencan's bear bag took out 50,000 taels of silver and sent it.

Damn, he asked Xiong Wencan for salary several times, but he didn't get a point.

"I heard that Xiong Wencan is going to organize Liu Jun's men and horses into his prime minister's standard battalion, and I even heard that Liu Jun is also his subordinate middle officer and the guerrilla battalion officer of the left battalion."

Zuo Liangyu was pondering with a gloomy face, and suddenly felt a threat.

"Wasn't that Liu Jun just a practice chief before, how many soldiers could he have?"

As soon as Xiong Wencan became prime minister, he transferred his 6,000 soldiers to be his standard battalion, and later Zuo Liangyu drove Xiong Wencan's battalion of Guangdong soldiers home, and then the two clashed constantly, and he simply broke away. Since then, although Xiong Wencan later put together a battalion of pacesetters, it is completely just a rabble. It is precisely because he has no soldiers under him that Zuo Liangyu can not buy Xiong Wencan's face at all, and Xiong Wencan can't do anything about him.

But now look at what Xiong Wencan means, is this trying to make trouble?

"Back to my lord, I heard that Liu Jun is constantly recruiting troops, and I heard that now he has more than 6,000 people in two battalions of war auxiliaries."

"Hmph, who do you want to fool by recruiting some farmers to make up some numbers?"

"Don't underestimate that Liu Jun, it is said that he is equipped with a lot of firearms, the most sophisticated firearms. This person is not simple, he is deeply appreciated and supported by Li Changgeng and Mei Zhihuan and other high-ranking officials in Eastern Hubei Province, and he is also the nephew of Liu Qiao, the governor of Jinyi in the DPRK. ”

"Oh!" Zuo Liangyu suddenly became serious, if this is the case, it may really be possible that things are not good.

"Go and ask Vice General Luo to come over, and we will discuss the matter of marching." Zuo Liangyu said suddenly.

His subordinates were surprised, "We're going to march?" ”

"Well, Xiong Wencan urged day after day, if we ignore him, I'm afraid that he may have to turn his face next." Although Zuo Liangyu is a little domineering, he also knows how to look at the situation. In the past, Xiong Wencan was just a prime minister, but if he had thousands of soldiers and horses, I was afraid that this old boy would go crazy.

Luo Dai is the deputy general soldier of Henan, originally the general soldier of Henan Zhang Renxue of the middle officer, last year Zuo Liangyu and Luo Dai cooperated to fight a few battles, promoted to the deputy general soldier, now in Junzhou City, it is Zuo Liangyu and Luo Dai general, another general soldier Chen Hongfan went to Yunyang Mansion at this time to pacify another rebel army.

When Luo Dai arrived, Zuo Liangyu directly proposed to send troops.

"There is not enough food. The army is tired. "Luo Dai made trouble.

"I know all this, but if we continue to stay here, we won't be able to wait for money and food for a while, but Premier Xiong has been urging him several times a day, and if he stays any longer, he is afraid that the court's recall order will come down."

"His mother's emperor is not a hungry soldier, whoever has the ability to come, let him come, Lao Tzu can't wait to go home." Luo Dai grumbled. He is the deputy commander-in-chief of Henan, but Zhang Renxue, the commander-in-chief of Henan, is the only Jinshi commander-in-chief in the Ming Dynasty so far, and a general-in-chief military officer who has been transferred from a civilian official. In fact, he is also a civilian official who doesn't know anything about leading troops to fight except for his mouth.

Henan originally did not have a general army, but it was newly established in the past two years to suppress bandits, and the Henan soldiers were not as good as the soldiers and horses in various towns.

"Anyway, Prime Minister Xiong Wencan's soldiers and horses in six provinces, we have to listen to his orders. Moreover, there is still an auxiliary minister and supervisor sitting in Xiangyang City. Holding the sword of Shang Fang in his hand. One is not good, maybe he will test our sword. ”

"But there is no food and grass, how can we send troops?" Luo Dai asked.

Zuo Liangyu said, "Let's beg for thieves for the court." There was a shortage of food in the army, so it was better to borrow some from the local squires for the time being. ”

The so-called temporary borrowing is actually a clear robbery, and Luo Dai knows very well what the so-called temporary borrowing is. But this kind of thing is not unusual.

"When will the troops be sent?"

"Tomorrow morning."

"Do you want to wait for Mr. Chen?"

"General Chen can't get out of Yunyang for a while, so let's send troops to the two of us. There are more than 10,000 people in our two departments combined, and it is enough to deal with the thieves. Zuo Liangyu said. As the chief soldier, he only had a regular barracks of 3,000 men and horses, and later recruited a lot of bandits, and now there are three battalions of 10,000 people under his command, and Luo Dai also has a battalion of people in the deputy general Qi Barracks, and the two of them add up to 13,000 people. This force is enough to deal with bandits, but only if the bandits do not flee from the battle.

On the night of the same day, the city of Junzhou, which had just been recovered by the official army, suddenly burst into flames, and the soldiers and horses under the command of Luo Dai, the deputy commander-in-chief of Henan, and Zuo Liangyu, the commander-in-chief of the reinforcement army, suddenly made a rebellion.

It was not until after dawn, after plundering, that Zuo Liangyu ordered the troops to be collected, and later the two more than 10,000 people left the city and went to the house, leaving a more dilapidated Junzhou City.

Many of the surviving civilians looked at the background of the departure of the officials and soldiers, all gritted their teeth, hated and cursed, and even some men whose families were ruined last night, after burying the bodies of their families, turned around and went to the bandits, they were full of anger and resentment, and only hoped that they would have the opportunity to follow the rebels to defeat those officers and soldiers who were more ruthless than the robbers for the rest of their lives, and kill those enemies with their own hands.

The news quickly spread to Gu Cheng and to Xiong Wencan's case. Xiong Wencan just scolded Zuo Liangyu and others for their evil deeds in Junzhou and threw them aside. What he was more concerned about was that Zuo Liangyu and Luo Dai had finally sent troops to suppress Zhang Xianzhong, if they didn't make any more moves, Xiong Wencan estimated that Yang Sichang should come out to speak.

He was recommended by Yang Sichang to be the prime minister, and he was also instructed by Yang Sichang to appease Zhang Xianzhong. Xiong Wencan knew that Yang Sichang did not want him to be convicted and removed from office, in that case, it would also affect Yang Sichang's prestige.

Now Yang Sichang is saying that he is not sick in Xiangyang, this is to give him time, give him a chance to kill Zhang Xianzhong, at least have a chance to win one or two battles, and change the current embarrassing situation.

But this time is not much, if he can't grasp the current situation, how can he talk about turning the situation? If the situation does not improve, Yang Sichang will inevitably have to come out.

Fortunately, the left barbarian finally sent troops.

However, Xiong Wencan really didn't have any trust in Zuo Liangyu, so he called his family.

"Send someone to Macheng again, and then urge Liu Jun to go north immediately. Tell him that if he is late, the thieves will be exterminated, and there will be no chance to make meritorious contributions. (To be continued......)
