~~~~~~~~

Faced with Liu Ruyi's almost harsh questioning, He Renlong and Zuo Mengeng were a little embarrassed.

But the situation is stronger than people!

The so-called 30 years in the east of the river, 30 years in the west of the river.

Today's Liu Ruyi is no longer the little officer who still needs the care of Zuo's father and son a few years ago to survive, the Battle of Jinan City, the Battle of Pinggu, the Battle of Songjin, the Battle of Luoyang, and the Battle of Xiangyang, after the baptism of this tragic war, Liu Ruyi and the Caishi Army gradually became stronger and stronger!

At this time, more than 50,000 soldiers from the Caishi Army, with sharp firearms, high fighting spirit, and captured the thieves, occupied the righteousness of the imperial court, and won the support of the people of Xiangyang.

This is higher and which is lower, naturally at a glance!

Liu ...... No~! Qi, Qi Guogong, this time, it's all strange to me Lao He is dizzy, hey! I Lao He has lived up to Brother Liu's love, really, I am really ashamed......"

He Renlong is also in his early forties, but at this time, like a child, he covered his face with two big hands, and he was ashamed and annoyed with indescribable shame and chagrin.

In the army, strength has always been respected!

As early as the battle of Pinggu that year, He Renlong threw himself on Liu Ruyi's admired five-body body, this time, he did not complete Liu Ruyi's task of explaining a good Lu, and wasted Liu Ruyi's 200,000 taels of military posture in vain.

Liu Ruyi glanced at He Renlong and exhaled a slightly turbid breath, "Brother He, this matter is indeed reckless!" However, it's also my fault for not making things clear to you! But something like this, I don't want to happen next time! ”

When He Renlong heard Liu Ruyi's words, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and actually knelt on the ground, "Thank you for the grace of Qi Guogong!" Thank you for your grace! With this lesson, I Lao He, but I must polish my eyes bright! ”

He Renlong said, but he didn't forget to glance at Zuo Mengeng coldly.

Zuo Mengeng couldn't help but secretly scolded He Renlong for being spineless, in front of his father and son, he was stubborn like a mad cow, but in front of Liu Ruyi, he was more docile than a kitten!

This man is still a cheap bone!

But seeing that Liu Ruyi seemed to have exposed the matter of He Renlong, Zuo Mengeng also had to be stubborn, and respectfully bowed his hand to Liu Ruyi and said: "Qi Guogong, what General He means is exactly what my father and son meant, with this lesson, my father and I will never make the same mistake again!" ”

Liu Ruyi nodded, "If the young marshal can say this, Ruyi will have it in his heart!" You and I are fellow villagers in Shandong, to be honest, I don't want Zuo Shuai and the young marshal to be harshly criticized by the imperial court. ”

Zuo Liangyu father and son are from Linqing, Shandong, but at this time, Linqing is under the rule of Liu Ruyi, and is operated by the Caishi Army like an iron bucket.

Liu Ruyi's words are actually hidden needles!

Zuo Mengeng's face turned pale for a while, obviously a little unbearable, but he had to endure this breath and said respectfully: "What Qi Guogong said is true!" After I go back, I will definitely show my father the meaning of Qi Guogong! ”

Liu Ruyi smiled slightly, nodded undeniably, but changed the topic and said: "Young marshal, at this time, the thieves have been destroyed, and most of the thieves in the south have basically been eliminated, I don't know what Zuo Shuai's plan is?" Where do you plan to go in the future? ”

Zuo Mengeng was stunned, but he instantly understood what Liu Ruyi meant, he thought for a moment, and then said: "Qi Guogong, my father is a general of thieves, so naturally he must focus on thieves first!" Although the Duke of Qi has leveled the sacrifice thief, the Central Plains, Li Chuang has not been exterminated! The meaning of the father is that he wants to enter the Central Plains and clear the Central Plains as soon as possible! ”

"Huh! Zuo Shuai Gaoyi, wishful admiration! Liu Ruyi smiled and arched his hand, and said: "It's not early, the young marshal has come all the way from afar, why don't you have a light meal here by the way?" ”

Zuo Mengeng couldn't see Liu Ruyi's intention to send off the guest, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Thank you Qi Guogong for your kindness, but my father is still waiting in Yicheng, I must convey Qi Guogong's meaning to my father as soon as possible!" In this way, Meng Geng took his leave first! ”

Liu Ruyi didn't get up to send him off, but just waved his hand at Zuo Mengeng lightly.

Seeing Zuo Mengeng go away, He Renlong couldn't help but scolded in a low voice: "The little fox of the dog day! ”

He turned his head to look at Liu Ruyi, and hurriedly said, "Brother Liu, you don't know what to do!" This, these two grandfathers of the Zuo family, are really too deceitful! Otherwise, I, I wouldn't have lost my head and fought to the death with them! ”

Liu Ruyi's face had already recovered a calm expression, "Brother He, you are too anxious about this matter!" If you want to expand your financial resources, you can't do that! However, the Zuo father and son have been operating in Huguang for many years, how can you be their opponent if you are so rash? Thankfully, I got the news in time! Otherwise, if there is really any problem in Xiangyang City, it will only be a reproach from the imperial court, which is enough for you to peel off a layer of skin! ”

Hearing Liu Ruyi say this, the cold sweat on He Renlong's head also came down, and he hurriedly said: "What Brother Liu said is true!" It's all because I'm too reckless, otherwise, I'm afraid I'll really have to suffer this big loss! ”

Unlike Liu Ruyi, He Renlong is only the most vulgar military man, although he is a general soldier in Shaanxi, but over the years, natural disasters and man-made disasters in Shaanxi have caused the economy to be sluggish, and He Renlong has not mixed too many industries!

Nine times out of ten, the supplies of Qin Jun's sons under his command depend on the imperial court, and this time he is firmly choking his neck!

It is Datong Wang Pu, although he is a wealthy merchant family, but the military needs of more than 10,000 soldiers are by no means consumed by a merchant family, if he hadn't followed Liu Ruyi to make a fortune in the Battle of Songjin, Wang Pu would not have so much confidence to expand the army!

The current armies of the Ming Dynasty, except for Liu Ruyi's Caishi Army, completely rely on themselves to solve the military posture and salary, and the rest of those who have this ability are only Zuo Liangyu and his son!

However, Liu Ruyi relied on killing thieves and Tartars, relying on governing the land and being strong, expanding overseas trade, and obtaining real money, but the methods of the Zuo father and son were much simpler and rude, they only relied on one word, that is, 'rob!' ’

They also robbed the homeless people, they also robbed the powerful and powerful, and they robbed the court and the government as well, as long as there was silver, there was nothing to do, and their father and son did not dare to do it!

It's just that Ping Xibo and Wu Sangui, the head of the Guan Ning Army, are a little special.

The land of Liaodong is quite a bitter cold place at this time, far from the prosperity of later generations, and there is no strength for overseas trade there, and the military supply of the Guan Ning army under Wu Sangui basically depends on the appropriation of the imperial court, even if Wu Sangui and his son have some family business, but to feed more than 50,000 Guan Ning army, it is extremely unrealistic!

But even if the court didn't want to give him silver, it had to give it!

Since the beginning of the Apocalypse, most of the income of the Ming Dynasty has to be filled into the huge bottomless pit of Liaodong, for no other reason than because of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!

At this time, looking at He Renlong's appearance, Liu Ruyi sighed slightly.

A general like He Renlong, he is just a pure soldier!

Although he also has some peasant cunning, he can't escape his own shackles!

It is basically unrealistic to want to rely on his own ability to create the military posture supply of his own sons!

This is also doomed, he can only reach this height in his life.

However, this is also a good thing for Liu Ruyi.

As the saying goes, 'no one is perfect'.

People with shortcomings are in control of themselves!

If everyone is a saint, then where does Liu Ruyi go to find his pawn?

He Renlong's ability to lead troops is good.

Although the number of Qin troops is small, not more than 10,000, the combat power is good, over the years, has been on the front line of various wars to exterminate the exile army, and has also had several battles with the Manchu Qing experience.

At this time, Hong Chengchou was in Liaodong, Sun Chuanting was already a rootless wanderer, and the Qin army lost its greatest support.

And Liu Ruyi himself has become He Renlong's biggest expectation at this time!

In the face of this kind of opportunity, Liu Ruyi naturally refuses to miss it easily!

After pondering for a moment, Liu Ruyi smiled, and his tone softened a lot, "Come, Brother He, sit!" ”

Liu Ruyi smiled and patted He Renlong's shoulder, waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to present two pots of wine, and said with a smile: "Brother He, don't blame me for being too strict in this matter!" The situation of Huguang is very important, and the truth in it, you don't need me to say that you understand! Brother was angry just now, don't you have to go to your heart! ”

When He Renlong saw Liu Ruyi like this, he knew that Liu Ruyi had lost his anger, and his mood suddenly improved, and he hurriedly smiled: "Brother Liu, where are you talking about this!" If it weren't for my Lao He's troubles, where would you be so tired, and you would have to personally lead the army to Huguang! However, Brother Liu is Brother Liu, and with your move, you will end up a nest of thieves! It can be regarded as the end of my Daming's confidant! ”

Liu Ruyi smiled, picked up the wine jug, gestured to He Renlong, took a sip, and then said, "Brother He, let's not mention the past for the time being!" However, at this time, the thief has been destroyed, what are your plans for the future? ”

He Renlong took a big sip of wine, and said a little tiredly: "Brother Liu, when this is the case, what else can my old He plan?" At the moment, the imperial court has no will for the time being, so I will take my sons and daughters back to Shaanxi directly! It's been half a year since I came out, and the sons are tired! However, for the future, I really didn't think about it! It's no wonder that he continues to lead the army! That's right, Brother Liu! ”

He Renlong patted his head, then suddenly remembered, and hurriedly said: "Brother Liu, in the first battle of Luoyang, I heard that you captured Liu Zongmin, a henchman under Li Zicheng?" I know this guy, he can be regarded as Li Zicheng's right-hand man! Since you cut off Li Zicheng's arm, right now, his strength must be seriously damaged, right? This is an opportunity for us, so let's find an excuse to ...... him completely."

He Renlong made a fierce movement to wipe his neck!

Liu Ruyi shook his head, "Don't worry about breaking into the camp!" What I'm worried about now is the Manchus! It's ......"

Liu Ruyi took a deep breath, looked at He Renlong's eyes and said, "It's our Ming officer!" ”

He Renlong couldn't help but gasp, and said tremblingly: "Brother Liu, you, you mean Wu ......"
