Chapter 406: Zuo Mengeng
Three more 10,000 words for a monthly pass!!
There are a lot of Han surnames, but there are definitely not many people with the surname Zuo, especially among the generals of the Ming Dynasty, who can take a large group of soldiers and horses, and play the left character flag in a grand manner, I am afraid that there is only Zuo Liangyu's family, this kid in front of him will definitely not be Zuo Liangyu, but he can take his subordinates and horses to swagger through the market, and it will definitely not be a general relationship, either Zuo Liangyu's son and nephew, or the child of some cronies and generals, holding this banner to play prestige, so Kong Youde asked so much.
Who knew that after asking, the kid shouted with anger on his face: "Bold, dare to call my father by his name!" ”
"Hmph, ignorant junior!" Kong Youde doesn't take it seriously at all, Zuo Liangyu has decent qualifications in the Ming army, but he is just a middle-aged famous general, he and Geng Zhongming have this identity, if it weren't for the rebellion, Zuo Liangyu and them are just equals, not to mention that now in Xuzhou, I have seen the first strong soldier of the Ming Dynasty under Song Qing, Zuo Liangyu's subordinates, these so-called soldiers and horses who can fight are not much stronger than those rogues, he didn't take it seriously at all, seeing that the other party was Zuo Liangyu's son, it made him a little more disdainful, and sneered:" Grandpa's name is Kong Youde, there was a mutiny in Dengzhou, your father didn't dare to talk like this when he saw me, which onion are you kid? ”
The young general on the opposite side is Zuo Mengeng, the son of Zuo Liangyu, who is not yet sixteen years old this year, but his martial arts are not bad, and he can be regarded as the best among the rising stars of the Ming Dynasty, of course, this uncle later led 200,000 Ming troops to surrender to the Manchu Dynasty and became a traitor, even more than the harm caused by Wu Sangui, that is a later story.
As a general, Zuo Mengeng has not experienced any setbacks since he was a child, Zuo Liangyu was still young in the most difficult years, and he didn't know when, when he was really sensible, Zuo Liangyu's status was rising. He has never said anything serious about his son, and he has always been very spoiled, so he developed the temper of the deputy young master, the military discipline of the left army was not strict, and it was common to kill good people and take risks, not to mention the credit of robbing friendly troops, this young general is even more proficient.
However, although this guy has a bad temper, he has a lot of respect for his father, so when he heard that someone called Zuo Liangyu by his name, he was immediately furious. In his opinion, it is those civil officials and masters such as governors and governors who are qualified to call Zuo Liangyu, and these warriors all want to call General Zuo, but he seems to have some impression of the name Kong Youde, and he hesitated for a while, followed by the guerrilla who has admired the name for a long time, and also knows that the person in front of him is a person who dares to say and do, for fear that something will happen, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "It turned out to be General Kong." I heard that General Kong and General Geng are both in Xuzhou now, I don't know why they came to Henan, did General Song Qing also come over? ”
It's okay if he doesn't say it, Zuo Mengeng is not impressed by Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming. But he knew Song Qing's reputation, after all, Song Qing was a generation with him, just a few years older, but now his reputation has spread all over the country. The so-called Wen has no first, Wu has no second, it would be better if it was a different generation or age. The more young people of this generation, the more they have to compare with others, he is also a little famous, but he only listens to the flattery of Song Qing who tells stories all day long, for which he has killed several storytellers, and now I hear that Song Qing is here, the very annoying guy in front of him is actually Song Qing's person, Zuo Mengeng's face immediately became extremely exciting.
The next moment, he unceremoniously urged the war horse, and the spear in his hand poked at Kong Youde, the guerrilla failed to stop it, and his face turned pale with fright, but Kong Youde was prepared for a long time, and he never relaxed his vigilance.
Most of the military horses that Zuo Liangyu specially allocated to him were with Zuo Mengeng, who was extremely loyal to him, and often followed him to do nonsense, and he was also a stinky temper that did not put the world in his eyes.
The beggar army is not a good temper, and even the temper is worse than the average Ming soldiers and horses, after all, they have rebelled twice, and the rules and things have long been taken seriously, the only thing they believe in is strength, so they are honest under Song Qing, but they only serve Song Qing alone, and they don't take it seriously when they encounter other soldiers and horses, Zuo Liangyu's name has been heard, but their two generals are no worse than those surnamed Zuo, not to mention that it is the little cub of Zuo Liangyu's family who came, and this time it was the other party who came to grab the credit, It was the first to hit them, and there was no reason to retreat at all, seeing that the left army had already rushed over, of course, they met it unceremoniously, and the two armies fought in one place in an instant.
Not long after, Zuo Mengeng couldn't support it, he came out this time with more than 1,000 soldiers, Kong Youde had more than 800 people on his side, the problem was that there were all Xuzhou soldiers and horses, seeing that someone was fighting with the beggar army, many people immediately rushed over, surrounded the left legion, and the spear array had been pressed to the front row, ready to attack at any time.
The time was not big, Song Qing's brigade also caught up, and saw that the two sides were fighting, and they were all imperial court military horses, so they immediately asked someone to stop them first, and then called Kong Youde to ask, and after asking the reason, he hit the horse over, and said to Zuo Mengeng, who had a hideous face: "Young General Zuo, what does this mean today, to rob Song Mou's credit?" ”
Zuo Mengeng was originally holding back his anger, but now that he saw Song Qing arrive, the storytellers in his mind appeared again, and his fighting spirit also rose, and he immediately came out of the crowd, looked at Song Qing with an arrogant face, and pointed his spear: "You are Song Qing?" Your young general has long wanted to meet you, and today happened to meet, let's compare and compare, if you lose later, you only need to hand over these homeless people to me, and then take 20,000 taels of silver out, and then you can take people out of the way, do you understand? ”
"I said Major General Zuo, you look at the soldiers and horses behind you, and then look at my soldiers and horses, why do you say that?" Song Qing really hadn't seen this flute seed, and laughed angrily: "In this case, I will also gamble with you, if I win, I will take the lives of your men, you will kowtow to me three more times, and I will let you go, this condition is generous enough, right?" I won't let you pay any homeless people, and you don't need to take any silver, it's just a thousand lives, and you don't have to die yourself, what a bargain! ”
"You're looking for death!" Zuo Mengeng has been polite when he has been in the army, even if he is a senior general, he is also giving his father face, and he will not have any hard words for him, and now he has been sneered at by Song Qing, he has already lost his patience, picked up his weapon and rushed up, but he really underestimated Song Qing's ability, and even more underestimated the treacherous degree of General Song......
With a bang, the war horse of Major General Zuo was directly beaten to the nest, and he also fell off the horse, Kong Youde originally expected Song Qing to show his might, but when he saw such a scene, he suddenly stuck his throat, and then he laughed wildly, and the surrounding Xuzhou soldiers and generals also laughed loudly, and the four thousand fire soldiers directly lifted the guy up, Song Qing hit it successfully, and the spear immediately resisted Zuo Mengeng's neck, and turned back to ask Kong Youde: "Old Kong, do you think there are any of these people who don't deserve to die?" ”
Kong Youde thought for a while and said: "That guerrilla is okay, just now I persuaded this little cub not to be presumptuous, he can spare it, and kill the rest!" ”
Song Qing nodded and said: "That's okay, Ben will never kill good people indiscriminately, go and get that guerrilla over, and this young general Zuo, give me a good look, and kill the rest!" ”
Whenever there is such a murderous thing, Ding Kui will always appear quickly, but after a long time, it often becomes a compliment, this time is no exception, I heard that Song Qing is going to kill a thousand officers and soldiers, Ding Daguan flashed out again, worried: "Brother Qing'er, this is a thousand officers and soldiers!" ”
"It's okay, just say that he died fighting a thief, and General Zuo won't run to complain, right? I'm not afraid of him even if he sues, his son dares to do something to the court generals, this is the crime of rebellion, Lao Tzu only kills his soldiers, it's already very face-saving! Song Qing said, looked at Zuo Mengeng who was lying on the ground, and said with a smile: "Come out to talk about credit, say kill all his men, then you can't let go of one, I have released a guerrilla now, it is already very gracious, this kid should be grateful, kill!" ”
'Kill', four thousand firecrackers quickly fired, but in the blink of an eye, the soldiers and horses of the left army did not have time to react at all, they were all knocked to the ground, some of them were lucky not to die, and they were begging for the soldiers to go up to mend the knife, and the smell of blood around them spread again, not only Zuo Mengeng and the guerrillas were stunned, even those who had not had time to escape were also stunned, I don't know which one threw the weapon first, followed by the commotion, thousands of homeless people knelt on the ground densely.
"Come on, find a horse for Major General Zuo, and then send him away with that guerrilla!" Song Qing said expressionlessly: "Major General Zuo, tell your father when you go back, if you are not satisfied, even if you come here to find me, I don't mind fighting with him, after the fight, he can have more weapons and food, saving me a lot of silver!" ”
Zuo Mengeng was frightened by Song Qing's method of killing thousands of people at every turn, he has done this kind of thing, but they are all slaughtering villages, and the number of people is far behind, where can it be compared to Song Qing's slaughter of officers and soldiers, so although he was full of resentment, he didn't dare to say a word, and immediately got on the war horse, and fled with the guerrillas.
