Thank you to qingfengsoul, bookworm bug, cryoson, I'm a wolf, Eagle Dance and other brothers for their monthly tickets and support!
Yesterday, there was no money at high speed, and the boat had friends who went far away, and the boat couldn't wipe off its face, so it had to help.
It's been more than 1 o'clock in the morning when I came back, and I really can't update!
600 kilometers back and forth, the boat drove alone, and my back hurt!
Well, now the update will be accelerated!
Ask for all kinds of support!

Since ancient times, the most taboo of Chinese people is 'only out and not in', 'sit and eat the mountain empty', the old people will teach their children since childhood, to work hard, to be diligent and capable, otherwise, it is a mountain of gold, a mountain of silver, and sooner or later there will be a day of empty!
At present, due to natural and man-made disasters, the business of the gentry in Luoyang City has been withering for a long time, and they cannot make ends meet, and the huge consumption of guarding Luoyang City for these days has made them a little unbearable.
At this time, hearing what the fat man said, everyone had already decided to welcome Liu Ruyi's Caishi army into the city, and they couldn't help but start to shake again!
They whispered more than once, but their eyes were all focused on the body of the blessed king Zhu Changxun.
But Zhu Changxun didn't pay attention to everyone's eyes at all, and in his fat hand, he was carefully playing with a jade cup, as if this small jade cup was millions of times more important than everyone in front of him!
"Wang Shaoyu! You~~~, what do you mean by that? The Duke of Qi came from afar to aid Luoyang in the edict of the Son of Heaven, you, you dare to be so loyal to the Duke of Qi! You, what are your intentions? If Luoyang City is lost, you will die and cannot be redeemed!! ”
Wang Yinchang has been angry to the extreme, although he is not a member of the Caishi Army, but his friendship with Liu Ruyi has always been the proudest thing in his life, and it is also his biggest political capital, but he didn't expect that it was a simple labor army, and he couldn't implement it in Luoyang City, how could he accept it?
"Huh! Brother Wang, why are you so angry? How? Could it be that it is in your mind, or is it in the mind of your Qi Guogong? The white fat man glanced at Wang Yinchang with a smile, and turned his head to look at the people around him, with innocent smiles on his face!
He is the former Henan chief soldier Wang Shaoyu!
At the beginning, in order to win over Liu Ruyi, Emperor Chongzhen had already let Liu Ruyi take the errand of the Henan General Army, but due to the impact of the war, Wang Shaoyu's latest appointment has not yet been settled, although he has not completed the handover with Liu Ruyi at this time, but in his heart, he has already hated Liu Ruyi, who has robbed him of the throne!
'Fart ~ shares determine the head', there are some contradictions, which are destined to never be resolved!
But the tragedy is that Wang Shaoyu is obviously better able than Wang Yinchang to accurately grasp the pulse of the muddy waters of Luoyang City at this time!
"Despicable villain, who will only sow discord! You, sooner or later, you will be punished! Wang Yinchang couldn't help scolding, if it weren't for someone around him, he would definitely have to give Wang Shaoyu an old punch!
On the side, Wang Shaoyu couldn't help sneering in a low voice!
Although Wang Yinchang is participating in politics, he is just a nerd, a waste and mediocre talent, since Liu Ruyi uses him, presumably, he is just a deceptive and famous!
The pool of water in Luoyang City is muddy!
Even if Liu Ruyi is a dragon, when he comes to this place, he has to lie down honestly!
"Alright, alright! Everyone is an official of the imperial court, noisy and noisy, what kind of system has it become? Let's just talk about things! Since Qi Guogong is leading reinforcements here, then we Luoyang people must have something to say! ”
The person who spoke was Luoyang Confucian, Lu Weiqi, the former secretary of the Nanjing Military Department who had retired!
Lu Weiqi was a master of science in the late Ming Dynasty, and he was highly respected, he spoke, Wang Yinchang and Wang Shaoyu dared to talk back, and the atmosphere in the venue calmed down again.
But no one wants to open their mouths about silver!
After a long time, Lu Weiqi couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "That's it!" Let the old man hit this head! Luoyang battled, the old man's family wealth was gone, and he wanted to set aside 3,000 taels for retirement, hey! Now it seems that it is not needed! The old man will take it out first and welcome the army of Qi Guogong into the city! ”
Seeing that Lu Weiqi spoke, Fu King Zhu Changxun's eyelids also blinked, "Then, the palace will also give five thousand taels!" ”
"I'll give three thousand taels!"
"The old man will give two thousand taels!"
“…………”
*******************************************************
Dusk, outside the east gate of Luoyang City.
The originally closed city gate suddenly opened a small opening, and in a moment, about four or five hundred elite cavalry rushed out, and they crossed the loose defense line of the Wandering People's Army and rushed straight to the camp of the Caishi Army not far away!
The Wanderers soon discovered their move and stepped forward to stop them!
But they were all cavalry, extremely fast, and the camp of the wandering army was too scattered to have any good way for a while!
However, Hao Shaoqi, the chief general of the exile army outside the East Gate, was inspecting the defense in the camp, and when he saw that the officers and troops were so rampant, he still couldn't help but be furious, and immediately ordered his five hundred elite personal cavalry to rush up and fight with these officers and soldiers!
Although these officers and soldiers are brave, but in the camp of the homeless army, they can't spread it at all, the arrows and spears of the homeless army fly wildly, and some officers and soldiers fall in a pool of blood, coupled with the entanglement of these homeless army's elite horsemen, they soon fell behind, and they are faintly gone!
~~~~
In the Caishi Army camp not far away, Liu Ruyi was also looking at the situation of the camp of the Wandering People's Army here.
At this time, seeing such a scene, Liu Ruyi's brows couldn't help frowning slightly!
These people should be the messengers sent by Luoyang City!
It's just that they are so rampage, they want to break through the defense line of the Wandering Army, and they are obviously stunned!
Liu Ruyi hurriedly waved his hand and beckoned Chunwa who was beside him, "Go, send some cavalry to welcome these officers and soldiers, don't let them suffer again!" ”
"Yes!" Chunwa nodded hurriedly, recruited the pro-soldiers, and whispered a few words in a low voice!
In a moment, a group of six or seven hundred cavalry rushed out of the camp of the Caishi Army and went straight to the camp of the Wandering Army!
At this time, these official cavalry had already rushed to the periphery of the camp of the Wandering Army, but due to the entanglement of the elite cavalry of the Wandering Army, they could not escape from the rearmost defensive line!
But the addition of the cavalry of the Caishi Army reversed the situation in an instant!
The cavalry of the Caishi Army did not fight with these elite cavalry of the wandering army, but only a wave of charge, which defeated the spirit of these elite cavalry of the wandering army, and led these official cavalry to quickly rush towards the camp of the Caishi army.
~~~~~~
"Young General Chen De, meet Qi Guogong!" In the camp of the Caishi Army, a young man in his early twenties with a heroic face knelt down respectfully in front of Liu Ruyi.
It's just that there is an arrow on each of his left arm and back, and it is obvious that he was also injured in the clash just now.
Although he has fine armor to protect his body, the injury should not be serious, but there is still blood gushing out of the wound, but he doesn't care about it.
Liu Ruyi glanced at him lightly, and couldn't help nodding slightly, young man, this momentum is still very admirable!
"Huh! Don't be so nervous, keep your head up! Liu'er, recruit a military doctor to treat the little general's injuries! Liu Ruyi said with a smile.
"Yes!" Xiao Liu'er hurriedly whispered a few words to the pro-soldiers around him, and several pro-soldiers left in a hurry.
Chen De showed a mouthful of white teeth a little shyly at this time, "Grandpa Guo, it's okay, it's just a small injury, and it can't hurt a certain muscle and bones!" ”
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but smile slightly, "Your name is Chen De, hehe, your father is Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier of Luoyang, right?" ”
Chen De was stunned, and then smiled, "Grandpa Guo is wise!" This time, the young general was ordered by the gentry and father of Luoyang City to send the labor army salary to the Duke of Qi! ”
After Chen De finished speaking, he hurriedly handed some bloody silver tickets in his arms to Liu Ruyi respectfully.
Liu Ruyi waved his hand and motioned for his soldiers to take it, and he opened the list of labor soldiers' salaries!
But for a moment, Liu Ruyi's eyelids twitched slightly, and the smile on his face was even worse, he folded the list casually, handed it to the soldiers around him, and smiled at Chen De: "Little general, when you came, everyone in Luoyang City, what do you have to say to your country?" ”
Chen De hurriedly kowtowed to Liu Ruyi and said: "Grandpa Guo, Luoyang City has been besieged for a long time, there is a shortage of food and grass in the city, and the army is exhausted. ”
"Huh! It's nature! The little general is wounded, so let's go down and rest first! In other words, I have admired your father, Mr. Chen, for a long time! I believe that it will not be long before we can meet! Liu Ruyi smiled and patted Chen De on the shoulder.
Chen De was overjoyed, he couldn't imagine that the world-famous Duke of Qi would value their father and son so much, and he wanted to say something to Liu Ruyi, but when he saw that his own soldiers had come over to support his body, he had to hug his fists and said: "That young general is here waiting for the good news of Grandpa Guo!" ”
~~~~~
"What? The huge Luoyang City, just made up 28,000 taels? General, this, this is to treat our colored stone army as called Hanako? In Liu Ruyi's big tent, Xiao Liu'er took the silver ticket list in his hand and couldn't help but say angrily.
Chunwa was still a little unconvinced, and took the list of labor troops in Xiao Liu'er's hand, and checked it carefully, sure enough, it was only a full 28,200 taels!
Chunwa's face couldn't help but sink, "General, it seems that those masters in Luoyang City obviously didn't take our Caishi Army in their eyes!" ”
Jia Dazhuang participated in this level of military discussion for the first time, and he didn't understand the reason, so he carefully glanced at the numbers on the list, and said: "General, isn't it, in the fierce battles of Luoyang City these days, King Fu and those gentry have no silver?" That's nearly 30,000 taels, which is not too little, right? ”
Chunwa couldn't help sneering, "Brother Jia, I'm afraid I'm still a little confused!" As early as the Wanli year, Zhu Changxun sat on 20,000 tilts of fertile land in the Central Plains! In the past 30 years, I'm afraid it will be more than ten times! Last time, we went to the Central Plains with the general, and the silver he gave to Zuo Liangyu's labor army was 200,000 taels! At the moment, he only gave us less than 30,000 taels, isn't this a clear disdain for our Caishi Army? ”
"Huh?" Jia Dazhuang couldn't help but say more, but looked respectfully in the direction of Liu Ruyi.
Liu Ruyi waved his hand, "Chunwa, you don't have to be so serious!" General Jia participated in the military conference for the first time, and there are some things you don't understand, you can explain patiently! What kind of system is it to roar around like this? ”
"Yes! Humble position, humble position is also dizzy by the angry king of that blessing! Chunwa hurriedly bowed her head respectfully, and saluted Jia Dazhuang again.
"It's nothing, it's nothing! It's also strange that I'm short-sighted! It's a lot of work for the Chunwa brothers! Jia Dazhuang hurriedly smiled and resolved the embarrassment!
At this time, Huo Lang said: "General, it seems that the water in Luoyang City is much deeper than we thought!" ”
"Huh!" Liu Ruyi couldn't help but smile lightly, "Is this the legendary 'Luoyang paper expensive'?" It seems that we have to move quickly! ”
