The message is true!

Xu Liang rushed to the Yamen of the Pingliang Prefect, Pingliang Tongzhi Lu Yifa, the official Huang Daozhou, Master Lu, Guo Tianxu, the magistrate of Pingliang County, and others had already arrived.

Master Lu's eyes were red, like a mourner.

Xu Liang took the military newspaper handed over by Lu Tongzhi, on which was the handwriting of Hong Chengchou, who participated in the politics of Shaanxi, and the official seal of Wu Zhiwang, the governor of the three sides.

"It's despicable!"

"It's so shameless!"

The officials were emotionally excited, and they angrily scolded the People's Army for being despicable and shameless. Master Lu looked up to the sky and roared, and cried with a long song: "The great pain of the country! ”

Xu Liang clenched his fists and pursed his lips. Speaking from the heart, although Liu Zhilun, the governor of Shaanxi, did not please Liang, but Governor Liu acted above board, and after taking office as the governor of Shaanxi, everything he did was for the country and the people. The unexpected death of Governor Liu was a great loss for both the war situation at that time and the court.

Master Lu howled, suddenly rolled his eyes, and fell backwards.

"Master Lu!" The officials exclaimed, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Master Lu. Pingliang Tongzhi Lu Yifa hurriedly asked the official to help Master Lu down to rest.

There was a lot of chaos, and everyone in the hall fell silent.

"What's going on? I heard that Liu Zhongcheng was also killed? Dai Feng walked in from outside like a gust of wind and shouted at everyone.

Xu Liang silently stuffed the military newspaper in his hand to Dai Feng, and Dai Feng saw it clearly, and couldn't help but jump to his feet and curse again.

When Dai Feng calmed down, everyone calmed down and was silent.

Pingliang Governor Huang Daozhou was worried and said, "Now even Liu Zhongcheng has been killed." The war in Fengxiang Mansion is in danger. I fear that the Nationalists will take advantage of the victory to pursue. The Ming army was panicked and was bound to be defeated. ”

Huang Daozhou looked at Xu Liang. He arched his hand and said: "Lord Xu, the Ming army is not far from defeat." How do we respond? Adults need to come up with a countermeasure. ”

Xu Liang looked at everyone and smiled bitterly, "Gao Zilin is like a crazy wild dog, biting people when he sees them." None of us can match it. What other countermeasures are you talking about? ”

Xu Liang was very helpless, such a Gao Zilin who did not follow the identity of a master and did not play according to the routine, in the face of no absolute strength that could suppress Gao Zilin, any conspiracy was nonsense.

"What then?" Huang Daozhou asked in a panic.

Xu Liang turned his head to look at Dai Feng and asked, "General Dai." What are your thoughts? ”

Dai Fengfeng frowned, spread his hands and said: "Gao Zilin is haunted, his martial arts are strong, and he can't be prevented. For today's plan, the only way is to stick to the city to prevent him from mixing into Pingliang City, and then slowly figure it out. ”

Xu Liang asked the others again, "Lord Lu, Lord Huang." Master Guo, what do you have to offer? ”

Lu Yifa, Huang Daozhou, and Guo Tianxu all frowned and shook their heads.

Xu Liang groaned for a while. Gritted his teeth and said, "That's good, just rely on General Dai's construction." General Dai, you have transferred all the Liang troops stationed in various camps outside the city into the city. and they were assigned to guard the gates. Lord Lu, Lord Huang. From now on, a large number of grain and grass materials will be stored. Be prepared to defend the city for a long time. ”

"Yes!" And they were commanded, and every man did what was commanded.

Xu Liang gave an order, and when he heard that Master Lu had woken up, he went to visit Master Lu, and after a few words of kindness, he took his leave.

Back in Xu's mansion, He Huchen, the general soldier of Yansui who was recuperating in the mansion, heard that Liu Zhongcheng had also been killed, so he was so shocked that he ran to the front yard with a cane, blocking Xu Liang and asking about the truth of the news.

Xu Liang was silent and entered the study. He Zongbing followed closely to the study.

Seeing Xu Liang's gloomy look, General He sighed in his heart, and guessed that Liu Zhongcheng was most likely dead, and couldn't help but sigh.

He Zongbing walked around the room irritably with his cane, waving his fists angrily, and said, "It's not a way to go on like this!" Lord Xu, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days! Gao Zilin wantonly assassinated the civil and military officials of our army, we don't want to find a way to deal with him, we will always be passive. ”

Xu Liang's eyes stared at the surface of the empty desk, and his angry expression seemed to be about to erupt into fire.

Tightening his fists, Xu Liang said in a deep voice: "Blood for blood, tooth for tooth, killing to stop killing!" Gao Zilin can kill people, can't we kill people? ”

He Huchen was taken aback and asked, "Lord Xu, what do you mean?" ”

Xu Liang's eyes were cold, and he said faintly: "Gao Zilin dares to assassinate our people, then we will also assassinate their people!" ”

He Huchen was stunned for a while, his expression moved, and he couldn't help but stroke his palms and praise: "Lord Xu should have been like this a long time ago!" Then he said hatefully, "He kills our men, and we kill them, and it is up to us to see who can kill whom!" It's just that...... Although there is no shortage of talents in my Ming army, there is no shortage of masters, and at this time and a half, where can I recruit so many masters to assassinate. ”

Xu Liang waved his hand and said, "Our people don't need to be higher than Gao Zilin in martial arts, and I haven't thought about getting rid of Gao Zilin by assassination." The target of our assassination is the middle and lower level generals in the people's army! ”

Immediately, Xu Liang shouted in a deep voice: "Come on, call the head of Tsing Yi Wei's big stall to come over!" ”

That night, the good men selected by Tietou from the battalions, led by the masters of the Tsing Yi Guard Garrison and the Detective Department, were divided into more than a dozen groups of people, quietly left Pingliang City, and rushed to the direction of Fengxiang Mansion in the night.

After the death of Liu Zhongcheng, Huang Ziren and Gao Yingxiang led tens of thousands of civilian troops to launch a major counteroffensive against the Ming army, and the Ming army was defeated and retreated, and there were several defeats outside Fengxiang Mansion in succession, and finally the army was defeated like a mountain, and the Ming army retreated from fighting to a big rout.

Huang Ziren led the army to pursue the victory, pursued the Ming army for hundreds of miles, and chased it into the territory of Pingliang Mansion before stopping.

Thousands of routs fled to Pingliang City, at this time Pingliang City had already been under martial law, even if the Ming army launched a ragged official robe of Shaanxi to participate in politics Hong Chengchou, the Liang army in the city was indifferent. In the end, Dai Feng personally rushed to the city tower and ordered the Liang army to open the city gate and confirm the identity of the defeated army one by one before letting people into the city.

When Xu Liang, Lu Yifa, Huang Daozhou and other left-behind officials of Pingliang Mansion greeted the trilateral governor Wu Zhiwang, Governor Wu seemed to be more than ten years old, and his hair was clustered and piled up on his head in a mess.

"Your Excellency?" Xu Liang called worriedly.

Governor Wu waved his hand weakly and dropped a sentence: "Don't follow anyone!" Like a toddler old man, he slowly moved into the room that Lu Tongzhi had ordered someone to prepare earlier.

Xu Liang and the others looked at each other. He greeted Hong Chengchou, who was participating in politics in Shaanxi, and asked, "Lord Hong." How so? ”

Hong Shenzheng had a sad face and sighed sadly: "The defeat of the army is like a mountain. It's like a mountain! ”

Both adults looked sad and helpless.

Xu Liang and the others stood in the courtyard of the prefect's yamen, staring at each other for a while, Xu Liang asked Lu Tongzhi and Huang Tuiguan: "The Ming army was defeated and retreated for hundreds of miles, the soldiers must be tired and hungry, Lord Lu, Lord Huang, quickly arrange for someone to send food over." ”

Huang Daozhou said: "My lord, as soon as the Ming army enters the city. The subordinate ordered someone to prepare it and send it over. ”

Xu Liang nodded and said to the two: "You follow me to the camp to have a look." ”

The Ming army, which fled back to Pingliang City, numbered less than 4,000 and was placed in the Pingliang guerrilla camp. When Xu Liang and Lu Yifa and Huang Dao arrived at the barracks, thousands of Ming soldiers had already finished eating and drinking, most of them were lying on the ground and falling asleep, and the few soldiers who stayed behind also looked tired.

Xu Liang beckoned and asked, "What about the generals?" ”

The soldier gestured to a tent. "Several generals are in the tent. ”

Xu Liang and the others followed the direction pointed by the soldiers and came to the military tent.

Hearing a noisy sound in the military tent from a distance, Xu Liang and the others opened the tent door and entered, and they were all shocked.

Inside the military tent. Several generals who went out with the governor of the three sides, Wu Zhiwang, as long as they were still alive, gathered together. Said it was together. In fact, there are not many people.

Yansui general soldier He Huchen, Qingyang garrison He Renlong. Luo Rucai, the pioneer of the Liang army, and Wanwenshan, the owner of the cavalry battalion. In addition, there are two middle-level generals, Xu Liang does not know.

Several military generals sat around a table, the table was full of dishes, and the wine jars were placed all around, some of them were empty, and some of them had not yet been opened.

The generals heard the sound of the tent curtains, and when they looked up and saw that it was Xu Liang who came in, they were all slightly stunned. He Huchen, the chief soldier of Yansui, grinned and greeted: "The three adults came just in time, come over and punish three glasses of wine!" ”

When Luo Rucai and Wan Wenshan saw Xu Liang, they couldn't help but stand up from their seats, and arched their hands towards Xu Liang: "Your Excellency, ......"

Xu Liang stretched out his hand and pressed it, pressed Luo Rucai and Wan Wenshan down, and sat down again. I also picked a chair and sat down, and kicked open the empty wine jar next to it. Lu Yifa and Huang Daozhou saw that Xu Liang actually sat in, glanced at each other, and followed to find a place to sit.

Several generals were a little drunk and drunk. Xu Liang couldn't help but ask He Huchen, the slightly more sober Yansui commander: "What's the matter?" A bunch of people are drunk and crazy? ”

He Zongbing shook his head, pointed at He Renlong, Luo Rucai, Wan Wenshan and others, and sighed: "Just let them get drunk like crazy!" Their hearts are bitter......"

He Renlong and others didn't seem to treat Xu Liang, Lu Yifa and Huang Dao Zhou as outsiders, carrying the wine jar, exhaling the wine, and looking for someone to touch the wine.

Xu Liang saw that the eyes of several generals were red, and they couldn't speak clearly, and their mouths were full of wine, obviously too drunk!

When He Renlong turned to his side with half a jar of wine for the third time to touch the wine with him, Xu Liang glared at him and said, "General He, you are drunk, you can't drink anymore!" ”

He Ren Long glared at the big eyes of the copper bell when he boarded, and almost roared: "Who the hell said that Lao Tzu was drunk?!" Lao Tzu is not drunk! ”

opened his mouth, and the voice was so loud that Xu Liang's eardrum hurt a little.

Xu Liang looked at him, frowned and said, "You're really drunk." ”

Bang! He Renlong was furious, and smashed half of the jar of wine in his hand directly to the ground, splashing the wine everywhere.

He Renlong crossed his hands on his hips and stared at the bull's eye, like an angry King Kong. He roared: "Who said that Lao Tzu is drunk, who is in a hurry!" ”

Lu Yifa and Huang Daozhou hurriedly got up, protected in front of Xu Liang, and looked at He Renlong in horror.

"Your Excellency, are you alright?" Huang Daozhou asked worriedly.

Xu Liang shook his head and looked at He Renlong.

Lu Yifa wanted to step forward to pull away He Renlong, but he was thrown off by his arm.

He Renlong glared at the blood-red eyes and swept a room of people, suddenly squatted down, buried his head in his arms, and cried: "This battle is really fucking aggrieved!" Lao Tzu is not convinced! I'm not convinced!! ”

Xu Liang and the others were stunned, looking at He Renlong, who was five big and three thick, crying like a child who had been wronged at this time, and couldn't help but feel sour in their hearts.

"Fight in a dignified manner, the two armies fight, who has Lao Tzu ever been afraid of!" He Renlong cried: "Huang Ziren, Gao Yingxiang, in the eyes of Lao Tzu, what is it, they are not worthy of lifting shoes!" But they are playing tricks and blindly engaging in assassination! ”

He Renlong raised his head slightly, stared at Xu Liang with blurred teary eyes, and muttered, "Lord Xu, do you know? How did Wang En die? He was right next to me, and we led the army to chase the ass of the people's army, and in the melee, we were killing up, who knew that the despicable and shameless Gao Zilin disguised himself as a soldier and hid in the crowd, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the general soldier, he suddenly stabbed with a sword and killed the general soldier Wang, and I was so watching Wang En's head in a different place, blood spurting out...... It's not enough for him to kill General Wang, he still wants to kill Lao Tzu, this shameless villain! ”

"Mr. Wang, he died unjustly!"

Xu Liang and Lu Yifa, Huang Daozhou, He Huchen and others listened quietly.

Luo Rucai, the vanguard of the Liang Army on the side, glared and shouted: "Mr. Wang is wronged? General Li Ying is really wronged! It is estimated that he was killed without even seeing what Gao Zilin looked like! ”

Wan Wenshan choked sadly: "And our General Xing, after death, we can't even snatch the corpse back from the capital......

"Uh......h Don't talk about it! He Renlong shouted, "In short, this battle was so aggrieved that Lao Tzu refused to accept it!" ”

"I'm not convinced!" This is the voice of Luo Rucai, the pioneer of the Liang Army.

"I, I'm not convinced!" Wan Wenshan howled.

After the generals finished roaring, they hugged each other, beat each other, and cried.

Xu Liang shot at Lu, Huang Daozhou beckoned, and called the two out of the military tent.

The three of them walked out of the barracks in silence, and under the escort of a team of Tsing Yi guards, they walked towards the prefect's yamen.

It was evening, and the sky was gloomy, and the three of them were in a heavy mood at this time.

The three of them walked along the old streets of Pingliang City for a while, and Huang Daozhou suddenly sighed and said: "The people's army is so victorious, it is not martial. ”

Xu Liang was silent, walking side by side with Zodiac Zhou, for a long time, Xu Liang looked up at the gloomy sky, and there was a room of black and oppressive dark clouds above.

Xu Liang said: "Gao Zilin's martial arts are invincible, he is so capricious, what can we do with him?" It's like this piece of black on our heads, although we all spurn him and disgust him, but we can't reach his height, how can we help him? ”

Zodiac Zhou also looked up at the sky, and dark clouds were rolling in the sky.

"Return the martial arts master, I'm phew!" Huang Daozhou, who has always rarely spoken rudely, spat fiercely and scolded.

Huang Daozhou did this, which made Xu Liang stunned and looked at Huang Daozhou in surprise.

"What are you doing looking at the lower officials like this?" Huang Daozhou asked.

"I always thought you were pretty sven." Xu Liang said.

Huang Daozhou looked up at the black space in the sky again, and said disdainfully: "I didn't scold people before, that's because I didn't meet anyone I wanted to scold." ”

“……”

The three of them returned to the prefect's yamen, and Hong Chengchou, who participated in the politics of Shaanxi, seemed to have been waiting in the front yard, and he beckoned to Xu Liang: "Guozhong, the governor wants to see you." (To be continued......)
