"Open the gates and fire the cannon to greet you!" Zuo Liangyu shouted loudly, and led the Yu army generals in Yuncheng to the city gate to greet him.

After the cannon sounded, the gate of Yuncheng slowly opened, and there were already military musicians playing military music.

Zhang Shan wore a royal unicorn robe, lined with cotton armor, with a gold-woven red cloak hanging from his shoulders and four golden lions inlaid on his arm armor, indicating the high-ranking rank of his former general.

He rode slowly into the city surrounded by fifty heavily armed Chu army guards. Behind him, a member of the guard on the left was holding a Shang Fang sword, on the right was a flag officer holding the flag of the king's order, and in front was the flag bearer, holding a large flag of Zhang, the commander-in-chief of the Central Plains bandits.

Zuo Liangyu led the generals under his command to stand in two columns to greet him, one by one in neat armor, carrying swords and swords. According to their respective grades, they signed up to pay homage to Zhangshan in turn.

When Zuo Liangyu visited the shrine, he just gave up his hand slightly. This obvious faux pas, but Zhang Shan turned a blind eye. He smiled, sat on the horse, and gave a lecture to the generals of the Yu army in Yuncheng, which was nothing more than to encourage everyone to rectify military discipline, be loyal to the country, save the people from fire and water, and become the cause of the country's prosperity.

He only mentioned a little about the looting of a small town in Huangzhou, Hubei Province by the Yu Army.

"Please rest in the city." Zuo Liangyu said.

"Okay." Zhang Shan nodded, looking at Zuo Liangyu. This was the first time he had seen Zuo Liangyu in person, although he already knew the information about Zuo Liangyu very well.

Zuo Liangyu, who is in his early forties this year, has a burly physique and a coppery complexion. He was first a soldier in Liaodong, and later promoted all the way to the capital division, because Liaodong was seriously in arrears, Zuo Liangyu led his subordinates to rob the military funds transported to Jinzhou by the imperial court, and was defeated and beheaded according to the law. At that time, his accomplice was his brother, and he bore all the responsibility alone, so Zuo Liangyu became an accomplice. After beating 200 military sticks, he was dismissed, which can be regarded as picking up a small life.

Later, Zuo Liangyu couldn't stay in Liaodong, so he went to Changping and became a small school again. Because his martial arts ability and courage are indeed outstanding, he was gradually appreciated by You Shiwei, the general soldier of Changping. In the fourth year of Chongzhen, the Qing soldiers surrounded the Daling River, the situation was critical, and the imperial court Zhao Changping soldiers rushed to the aid in the starry night.

At that time, the military department squire Hou Sui Governor Changping garrison, guarding the mausoleum, after receiving the order, could not find a suitable general to divide troops to aid Jinzhou. You Shiwei has been in battle for a long time, but Changping couldn't do without him at that time. In the end, You Shiwei recommended Zuo Liangyu, but Zuo Liangyu was only a small school at that time, and he was not enough to command the army in terms of position and qualifications.

In the end, Hou Sui made an exception and ordered Zuo Liangyu to command the troops to aid Jin, made an exception to promote him to the post of deputy commander-in-chief, and awarded him the silver order arrow commander.

Zuo Liangyu did live up to Hou Sui's appreciation and promotion, led thousands of Changping soldiers out of the customs, and fought several victories in Songshan Xingshan one after another, with remarkable results. After returning from Kanwai. Hou Sui tried his best to protect Zuo Liangyu's merits, and finally Zuo Liangyu was promoted to the chief soldier. After that, the bandits in the Central Plains became more and more powerful, and Zuo Liangyu led thousands of Changping soldiers to the south as the general army to help suppress them.

After that, it was nearly ten years, and Zuo Liangyu almost led his troops to chase the bandits all over the Central Plains provinces. It once terrified the bandits. Call him Grandpa Zuo.

Among the armies that suppressed the bandits, the left army was fierce, but the military discipline was the worst. often harms the people, kills the good and riskes the merits. Therefore, he suppressed bandits in the Central Plains for many years. has made many military exploits, but he is often demoted and demoted, so many years have passed. It's still just a general officer.

Although Yang Sichang was supervising the bandits, he once guaranteed him to be a thief general. But soon Liu Jiye became a general of Dangkou, and successively won great victories in suppressing bandits, and in the end, it was Liu Jiye under his command who first served as the general soldier of Xunyang, and then as the general soldier of Hubei, but he was transferred to the general army of Henan.

Zuo Liangyu led Zhang Shan into the city, came to Xingyuan, and entered the White Tiger Hall.

"Zhang Shuai, please."

"Zuo Zhen, please."

Zuo Liangyu didn't have a good impression of Zhang Shan, the top boss, and thought that when he was the chief military officer, this Zhang Shan was still working as a shop guy in Huangzhou. followed Liu Jiye for a few years, and actually became the chief military officer of Hubei, and now he is also the commander-in-chief of the Central Plains bandits, and he also hung the seal of General Dangkou, and he is under his command.

The generals and colonels retreated, and there were only two people left in the hall, and Zhang Shan's guards stood outside the door.

"General Kunshan." After Zhang Shan sat down, he said in a relatively calm tone, "A few days ago, I received a letter from the king of the county, mentioning that the Hou Governor made a request to him, which was related to you. ”

When Zuo Liangyu heard Hou Sui's name, he couldn't help but sit upright, "I don't know what request Hou Gong made to the county king?" ”

"Hou Du appreciates you very much." Zhang Shan continued, "Back then, General Hou Duba was in the army, and he was appointed to the position of the commander of the army, which can be described as a wise person. When Hou Du talked about the events of the year, he was very proud of his unique vision and a hero at a glance. ”

"Presumably Zuo Zhendang has also heard that the imperial court has just been adjusted to nine military regions not long ago, led by nine governors. Liaodong and Liaoxi were merged into the Guanwai Military Region, and Mr. Baozhuhou, the king of the county, became the governor of Guanwai. After Mr. Hou took office, he made a request to the king of the county and wanted to transfer you to Guanwai. ”

"Transfer me to Guanwai?" Zuo Liangyu was a little surprised. "As far as I know, it seems that the imperial court has just ordered the removal of the two towns of Jinzhou and Guangning recently."

"Zuozhen is well-informed."

"It's nothing, it's all current affairs published in the Times, and the Times is well-informed."

Zhang Shan smiled, "This is true, but Governor Hou wants to transfer you to take over the position of Governor of Guanwai and Chief Military Officer of Liaoxi, and take over the position of Old Lady Qin." ”

"Oh?" Zuo Liangyu was slightly moved, this position is not low. The governor of Guanwai and the chief military officer of Liaoxi, this is the highest position of a military general, Admiral, it is false to say that he is not moved.

"Old Mrs. Qin is old, and she has contracted a cold after the year, and her health is not as good as before, so she has asked Zhishi to return to her hometown."

"There are countless generals under the command of the county king, so you don't have to transfer a certain person, right?"

Zhang Shan smiled, "This is a request made by Hou Du, and you also know that Hou Du and the county king were both protégés of the late Mei Shoufu, and the two were from the same family." And Hou Du has the grace of knowing the general, I heard that the general has always said that Hou Du is Mr. General, that's right. ”

"Indeed, Hou Du has the grace of knowing Zuo, and he will recreate the benefactor, and Zuo will never forget."

"That's it, Hou Du is the senior brother of the county king, and he is a family, so isn't General Zuo also the county king's own person? Let Zuozhen go to Liaoxi, which is not only the proposal of the Hou Governor, but also the county king's appreciation of the general's bravery. To tell the truth, Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou in western Liaoning were not satisfied with the imperial court's abolition of the second town of Guangning in Jinzhou, and they have not been ordered so far. Hou Du is under a lot of pressure in Liaoxi, and at this time he urgently needs a trustworthy and capable general to help him. In the eyes of Hou Du, General Zuo is the best choice. ”

Zuo Liangyu pondered for a moment and asked, "These soldiers under my command?" ”

"What the king of the county means is that Zuo Zhen can choose 10,000 elite soldiers under his command to go north, enter Liao with you, and later incorporate into Liaoxi Town." Zhang Shan replied.

Zuo Liangyu frowned, he now has 80,000 people under his command, although 80,000 people are a bit empty, many of them are just some bandits who have been recruited, lack armor and weapons and lack of training, but they are also soldiers. Only 10,000 people are retained, and Liu Jun means that these 10,000 people are his family.

"What about the other soldiers?"

Zhang Shan smiled, "According to the meaning of the king of the county, the general selected 10,000 people to go north and follow the general into Liaoxi Town. The remaining Yu army, 20,000, was selected and incorporated into Kaifeng Town, Central Plains Military Region. General, the 30,000 horses under your command have been arranged by the king of the county, and he will not be treated badly. ”

"Whether it is to go north with the general, or to stay and be incorporated into Kaifeng Town, each soldier will be repaid twenty silver dollars at one time, which can be regarded as arrears, settling-in allowance, promotion fee, etc."

Zuo Liangyu is very excited, this is indeed a very good condition. Twenty pieces of silver for each of the 30,000 people, that's 600,000 silver dollars.

"Hu Shuai, you know, there are not only 30,000 people in our army, but there are actually 80,000 people."

"General Kunshan, the conditions of the county king are extremely sincere and favorable. Since General Kunshan is so open and sincere, then I will also go further and say, as long as General Kunshan accepts the order of the county king, then the county king will give another 400,000 silver dollars to the general Kunshan, of which 100,000 yuan is for the general, and the remaining 300,000 yuan is to give you the severance pay for the additional 50,000 horses, six yuan per person. How's that, that's good enough, isn't it? ”

"Can I take all my men to Liaoxi?" Zuo Liangyu asked tentatively.

Zhang Shan smiled but did not speak.

Zuo Liangyu secretly measured in his heart, Liu Jiye's conditions were indeed very good. Promoted to the commander-in-chief of the army, and a million silver dollars. However, he could only take 10,000 horses to Liaoxi. And even if he is added to the post of governor of Guanwai, with the 10,000 people brought by his subordinates, it is impossible to really become the head of the military generals of the Guanwai Military Region.

Guanwai can be said to be another base camp of Liu Jun from Hubei, and there are three military towns left outside the Guan, Zhenjiang, Lushun, and Ningyuan, of which Lushun and Zhenjiang are both Chu troops, that is, Ningyuan Town, which is also dominated by Chu troops now.

He went to Liaoxi, but I was afraid that it was not as good as in Henan.

He was just about to refuse, when he suddenly saw a killing intent flash in Zhang Shan's eyes. The killing intent was fleeting, but Zuo Liangyu immediately woke up.

Liu Jun made such a condition, will he allow refusal?

Liaodong and Liaoxi were merged into the Guanwai Military Region, Shanxi Xuanda and Zhili were merged into the Zhili Military Region, and Shandong and Henan were merged into the Central Plains Military Region.

There are several towns in the Central Plains Military Region, and now only two towns remain, Denglai Town and Kaifeng Town. Now that Liu Jiye wants to transfer him to Guanwai, then this Kaifeng Town will definitely fall under the control of the Chu army.

If he doesn't leave, how can Liu Jiye control Kaifeng Town and control the Central Plains Military Region?

"General Kunshan, have you thought about it?" Zhang Shan picked up the teacup.

Zuo Liangyu Gongwei, "It is not only the great grace of the county king, but also the cultivation of the Hou Du, Zuo is very grateful." Since the county king and the marquis sent a certain person to go to the outside of the pass, Zuo should obey the order. ”

Zhang Shan laughed for a while, put down the teacup in his hand, and thought that he had smashed such a good teacup in the province.

"General Kunshan is serious, please sit down, and then, let's discuss the next matters."

"Okay." (To be continued.) )
