The people's troops swarmed to evacuate, and the Shaanxi soldiers began to cover up and kill. When Zhang Xianzhong rode his horse and fled, he found that there were Shaanxi soldiers on three sides, and they had set up a formation to cover up from three directions, Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Guoneng hurriedly gathered the team to rush and kill for a while, but there were too many officers and soldiers in Shaanxi, there were eight or nine thousand people on each side, and they not only failed to rush out after rushing for a while, but lost thousands of people. At this time, Zhang Xianzhong's hatred for Xu increased a little.

Fortunately, Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Guoneng had flexible brains, and the two quickly set their sights on the side blocked by Cao Wenzhao and Zuo Liangyu, because it seemed that Cao Wenzhao did not have many soldiers under him.

So Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Guoneng coincidentally mobilized the army and rushed to the left to kill. This rush actually broke through the opening and rushed out smoothly.

Although Cao Wenzhao and Zuo Liangyu were brave, they had too few soldiers and could not withstand the impact of the people's army.

The brigade of people's troops rushed out, and the officers and soldiers of Shaanxi chased after them for a while, and then closed the team to clean up the battlefield. The people's army outside the city was cleared, and there were still two or three hundred people's troops on the city wall, these people originally killed the Taiyuan city tower with the confidence of grabbing merit, but the officers and soldiers of Shaanxi suddenly came out, and the main force of the people's army saw that the opportunity was wrong and decisively withdrew, but these people were left behind. Then in the face of the Shaanxi soldiers outside the city, the hateful eyes of Lu Zhigao, the governor of Shanxi on the city tower, and a group of Ming soldiers defending the city, these people's soldiers did not think much about it, immediately threw their weapons, knelt on the ground and surrendered with their heads in their hands.

The officers and soldiers of Shaanxi were cleaning up the battlefield, Cao Wenzhao and Zuo Liangyu came over and asked Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi, to enter the city. Xu Liang arranged for He Renlong, He Huchen, Tietou and others to restrain the generals, and he and Wang Qinian took a group of Tsing Yi guards into the city.

Shanxi Governor Yamen, Shanxi Governor Lu Zhigao met Xu Liang and others in the lobby of the Governor's Yamen, the two sides greeted politely, after taking a seat, Shanxi Governor Lu Zhigao glanced at Xu Liang, just experienced the war of his face is still a little pale, Governor Lu said with a displeased face: "This official left and right, Xu Daren refused to come to Taiyuan, now Taiyuan City was almost captured by the people's army, Xu Da is late, heh...... Lord Xu's mind is really hard to guess. ”

Xu Liang frowned when he heard this, looked at Governor Lu, and saw that this person was sickly pale, so he said slowly: "Lord Lu misunderstood this official, my Shaanxi officers and soldiers fought repeatedly before, and they must rest, and this official remembers that he specially mentioned this matter to Governor Lu. However, the official has been paying attention to the whereabouts of Zhang Xianzhong and others, and once he found that Zhang Xianzhong had moved, the official immediately led the army over. Fortunately, Taiyuan City and Governor Lu were safe and sound, and the official was much more relieved. ”

Lu Zhigao didn't smile, squinted at Xu Liang, and said coldly: "Really? Then Lord Xu must have forked the road. Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Guoneng came straight to take Taiyuan, why did Lord Xu run to the west of Taiyuan, and I heard that the people and horses used by the king of the running king also fought a battle? It seems that Lord Xu's intelligence work is not doing very well, right? ”

Xu Liang's face slowly changed, and he looked at Lu Zhigao gloomily.

Cao Wenzhao and Zuo Liangyu saw that the situation at the scene was not right, so they hurriedly got up to play a round. Cao Wenzhao smiled and arched his hand at Lu Zhigao and said, "That Governor, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is possible for Lord Xu's army to deviate by seventy or eighty miles. However, Lord Xu blocked Wang Ziyong and Gao Yingxiang's troops in time, allowing the last general and others to return to Taiyuan smoothly. General Zuo, don't you say? ”

Zuo Liangyu also echoed: "Yes, Lord Lu." ”

Lu Zhigao sneered, slammed the table, and shouted angrily at Xu Liang: "General Cao, General Zuo doesn't have to defend Xu Liang!" The official didn't care what the reason for Ji Liang was, but because of Xu Liang's self-righteousness and disobedience to the command, the Taiyuan battle that the official had worked so hard to plan was completely lost, and Taiyuan City was almost captured! Xu Liang, are you guilty?! ”

Listening to this tone, it was actually an expression of Fu Xingshi's questioning guilt. Xu Liang's face turned cold, and he said coldly to Lu Zhigao: "This official is the governor of Shaanxi, it is not easy to lead the army to support Taiyuan, Hancheng and Taiyuan are far apart, and it is normal for my Shaanxi officers and soldiers to be delayed." ”

Wang Qinian said to Lu Zhigao with a smile: "That, Lord Lu, after our Lord Xu led the army to Hancheng, he has been dealing with Zhang Xianzhong, the leader of the people's army, killing tens of thousands of people's army, and it is also true that the soldiers are tired and need to rest......

"Fart!" Lu Zhigao scolded Wang Qinian: "Are you embarrassed to say? After the Shaanxi officers and soldiers arrived in Hancheng, Xu Liang ordered all armies to only operate on the Shaanxi border and not to go deeper. This is what makes Zhang Xianzhong, who is close at hand, free so far! Xu Liang is so passive to the enemy, it is clear that he does not take the emperor and the court in his eyes, it is a big crime to bully the king! ”

Xu Liang heard it and categorically denied it: "Where did Governor Lu hear the rumors?" This official has never said this! ”

"Hah!" Lu Zhigao sneered again and again, and pointed at Wang Qinian, "Xu Liang, you have to deny it, those words of yours have been heard by the people of Hancheng!" ”

Xu Liang's face was pale, he looked at Lu Zhigao coldly, and said, "Governor Lu, this official repeats it again, those words, this official has never said!" ”

Governor Lu snorted coldly: "You don't want to deny it. Xu Liang, because of your arrogance, you led to the First Battle of Taiyuan, and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in Shanxi were killed and wounded! This official will definitely visit you to the court! ”

Xu Liang didn't laugh angrily, "Hehe, is it?" Unexpectedly, this official worked tirelessly to solve the crisis in Taiyuan, and you, Lu Zhigao, not only did not appreciate it, but instead beat me up, and actually wanted to impeach me? In this case, the Tao is not the same, and I will take my leave! After that, Xu Liang pulled Wang Qinian, turned around and left.

Governor Lu got up and shouted in a deep voice: "Until the charges are investigated, none of you can leave." Come! Take down Xu Liang and Wang Qinian! ”

When Cao Wenzhao heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he hurriedly got up and stopped: "Lord Governor, stop your anger!" ”

With Lu Zhigao's shout, more than a dozen guards of the governor's yamen suddenly ran in from outside the lobby of the governor's yamen and rushed towards Xu Liang and Wang Qinian.

Wang Qinian's face changed, Xu Liang was furious, before the guards of the governor's yamen approached, he turned around suddenly, jumped up in a few steps, landed, and arrived in front of Lu Zhigao in the blink of an eye, holding the collar of Lu Zhigao's official robe with one hand, Xu Liang shouted coldly: "Lu Zhigao, what did you say?" I didn't hear it clearly, you say it again? ”

"You, what are you doing?" Lu Zhigao only felt that there was a flower in front of him, and Xu Liang, who was originally seven or eight steps away from him, actually stood in front of him, and with one hand like a chicken, he grabbed his collar, no matter how hard Lu Zhigao tried, he couldn't break free.

"Let go of Lord Lu!" The guards of the governor's yamen were shocked, several people arrested Wang Qinian, and the others pulled out their knives and shouted angrily at Xu Liang.

Cao Wenzhao and Zuo Liangyu also looked at Xu Liang in surprise, Xu Liang's movements were too fast and too sudden, even the two of them did not react.

"Xu, Lord Xu, I have something to say." Cao Wenzhao said busily.

Seeing this, Zuo Liangyu approached quietly, rushed up, and grabbed Xu Liang's probe.

Xu Liang held Lu Zhigao in one hand, lowered his head, staggered, and evaded Zuo Liangyu's grasp with Lu Zhigao. Zuo Liangyu was shocked, and before he could make a move, he heard Xu Liang shout in a deep voice: "Don't move!" ”

Zuo Liangyu looked up, and saw that Xu Liang actually held a slender and long, cold light flashing scimitar in his hand, and the scimitar was on Lu Zhigao's neck, which made Lu Zhigao tremble.

"Xu Liang, you, don't mess around! This official is a second-class member of the court......" Lu Zhigao said tremblingly.

Xu Liang snorted and scolded with contempt: "Lu Zhigao, only now do you remember your identity as a second-grade master?" Begging for mercy? Where is the majesty just now? ”

Xu Liang saw Zuo Liangyu staring at the Cold Moon Knife in his hand, and he looked like he was about to move. Xu Liang couldn't help but sneer: "Zuo Liangyu, you'd better stop where you are." My Cold Moon Knife is so sharp, if you get closer, my nervousness, my hand shook, and I accidentally injured Governor Lu, it is all your responsibility. ”

Zuo Liangyu snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "Xu Liang, do you know that you are detaining a second-rank member of the court, the governor of Shanxi?" The following offenses are capital offenses. With that, he suddenly reached out with one hand and grabbed Xu Liang.

Seeing this, Cao Wenzhao shouted: "Brother Zuo, no! ”

Zuo Liangyu's hand probed quickly, and he retreated quite quickly. As soon as Cao Wenzhao finished shouting, Zuo Liangyu screamed and quickly retreated, his left hand covered his right hand, and a bloody cut was made on his wrist, and red blood dripped to the ground in strings.

Zuo Liangyu's eyes were full of horror, he thought that he had some kung fu and shot quickly, but as soon as he reached out and didn't even touch Xu Liang's clothes, he felt a cold wrist, and the pain was unbearable.

Xu Liang sneered: "If you move again, I will cut off your head!" ”

Cao Wenzhao looked at Xu Liang in shock, and then looked at Zuo Liangyu, seeing that Zuo Liangyu's injuries seemed to be very serious, he hurriedly beckoned: "Quick, quickly help General Zuo to go down and bandage." ”

Zuo Liangyu was very angry, he was a master of making a bow, and he usually paid the most attention to protecting his right wrist, but now his right wrist was injured and could not be recovered in a month or two. Glancing at Xu Liang hatefully, Zuo Liangyu hurriedly went down to find someone to bandage the wound.

Xu Liang detained Lu Zhigao and injured Zuo Liangyu in a blink of an eye, and everyone in the lobby was shocked by Xu Liang. A group of governor's yamen guards threw rat traps and cowered around Xu Liang, not daring to step forward. Shanxi Governor Lu Zhigao was even more frightened. He had heard Cao Wenzhao talk about the lawlessness of Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi, and he didn't take it seriously, but now he finally saw it. The governor of a province will detain it when he says it, and the military generals of the court will be injured when he says it is injured.

"Master Xu, you calm down, don't mess around, everything is fine, it's easy to discu......ss," Lu Zhigao said in fear.

Xu Liang snorted coldly: "Shut up! ”

Lu Zhigao obediently shut up, not even daring to breathe.

Xu Liang looked at Cao Wenzhao and seemed to be smiling: "Chief Cao Bing, Zuo Liangyu wanted to save Governor Lu, but he was injured." Would you like to try it too? ”

Cao Wenzhao knew that Xu Liang's martial arts were extremely high, and when he heard the words, he shook his head in disgust: "Lord Xu said that he was laughing." Lend me a hundred guts, I don't dare to make a move against you, Lord Xu. ”

Xu Liang nodded, then looked at the guards of the governor's yamen, and said, "Let Qi Nian go and let these people all withdraw." ”

Cao Wenzhao looked at Governor Lu. Governor Lu was helpless and nodded: "Release people quickly!" Retire. ”

When the guards of the governor's yamen heard this, they let go of Wang Qinian and retreated one after another.

Cao Wenzhao smiled and said, "Lord Xu, look, did you let Master Lu go?" ”

When Xu Liang heard this, he sneered, mentioned Lu Zhigao's collar, and shouted, "Follow me obediently." ”

Lu Zhigao only felt a strong force coming from his neck, which made him almost breathless, and he hurriedly stuck out his tongue and shouted: "Light, light, I can't breathe." ”

Xu Liang relaxed his strength slightly, and walked out with Lu Zhigao's collar, Wang Qinian followed closely behind Xu Liang. Cao Wenzhao smiled bitterly and followed out.

Outside the hall of the Shanxi Governor's Yamen, the guards of the Governor's Yamen, who had received the news of Governor Lu's accident, swarmed around Xu Liang.

Xu Liang put the Leng Yue knife on Lu Zhigao's neck and sneered: "I don't want your governor's head to move, so you can just go up." ”

Governor Lu was so frightened that he shouted: "Stand down, stand down, you fools!" Do you want to kill the official?! ”

Xu Liang detained Governor Lu, step by step, walked towards the outside of the governor's yamen, and walked out of the gate of the governor's yamen. Xu Liang handed Lu Zhigao over to the two Tsing Yi guards for detention, then boarded the carriage and beckoned, "Let's go." ”

Cao Wenzhao and a group of guards from the governor's yamen followed, and Cao Wenzhao called Xu Liang with a bitter face and said, "Lord Xu...... Where are you going to take Governor Lu? ”

Xu Liang looked at Cao Wenzhao and said coldly: "Want to redeem people? Three days later, I went to the Liang army camp outside the city to talk! Remember, with full sincerity! ”

After that, Xu Liang lowered the curtain of the carriage, and the Tsing Yi guards escorted the carriage, and under the jealous gaze of the guards of the governor's yamen, he walked away.

Smoothly returned to the Shaanxi military camp outside Taiyuan City, He Renlong, He Huchen, Tietou and others heard what happened to Xu Liang in the governor's yamen, and they were all so angry that they screamed, if it wasn't for Wang Qinian to stop him, it would be possible for the poor Shanxi governor Lu Zhigao to be torn alive by these three people!

Subsequently, Xu Liang ordered: the whole army is on alert. As for Lu Zhigao, the governor of Shanxi, he was locked up in a dark room, given only water to drink, not food.

Three days later, when Governor Lu saw the sun again, he felt like he had survived the catastrophe. In the Shaanxi military camp, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Xu Liang glanced at Lu Zhigao, the governor of Shanxi who looked like he had lost a lot of weight, and his eyes were so hungry that his eyes were green, and then his eyes fell on Cao Wenzhao and Zuo Liangyu, and pointed at Governor Lu, and said: "Cao Wenzhao, Zuo Liangyu, Governor Lu himself has also seen it, now talk about your conditions, right?" ”

Zuo Liangyu wrapped a thick bandage in his right hand, looked at Lu Zhigao, and shouted at Xu Liang dissatisfiedly: "Lord Xu, what happened to Governor Lu You?" ”

Xu Liang didn't speak, and He Renlong, the Qingyang guerrilla general beside him, grinned and said, "It's not much." It is to throw your governor into a dark room and lock him up for three days, so that he can reflect on himself. ”

Lu Zhigao's voice was weak, and he cried bitterly at Cao Wenzhao and Zuo Liangyu: "General Cao, General Zuo, you are here!" I've been hungry for three days! If you don't come again, they will starve to death!" (To be continued.) )
