The contradiction between Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong can be said to have been going on for a long time.

Since the early years of Chongzhen, when the Central Plains rebels were in turmoil, the two of them were basically 'frequent visitors' from all over the Central Plains!

At that time, the Qin army under He Renlong was much better than the 'miscellaneous army' under Zuo Liangyu, and his confidence in speaking was naturally much harder!

It's just that feng shui takes turns.

With the passage of time, Zuo Liangyu 'became stronger and stronger' in the Central Plains, and his men and horses had exceeded 100,000 people.

And even if it was Zuo Liangyu's title of 'Ping Thief General', Yang Sichang originally planned to promise more achievements between Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong, but in the end, due to Zuo Liangyu's might, Yang Sichang had to bow his head and put He Renlong aside for the time being.

This is also the root cause of the deterioration of the conflict between the two!

However, having said that, He Renlong has a straightforward temperament, uninhibited, leading soldiers almost only based on personal preferences, too heavy, to put it nicely, He Renlong This is a 'fierce general', but if you put it bluntly, that is, this person is too 'leng', I don't know how to compromise, and I don't know how to be flexible!

But on the other hand, Zuo Liangyu, although in terms of the martial arts of the soldiers under his command, the foundation is weaker than He Renlong, but he is very good at buying people's hearts, almost 'cold and unjealous', even when Liu Ruyi sent troops to the Central Plains, he also received Zuo Liangyu's 'favor', so he was promoted to Jinan City guerrilla!

As the saying goes, 'If you are not afraid of comparing goods, you are afraid of comparing people!' ’

The so-called 'see the real in the details!' ’

In this era at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were simply as many bandits, but the imperial court could not give the most direct support in many aspects!

This has also led to the fact that many smaller officers and soldiers are strong and landlords are armed, and if they want to survive, they must rely on the 'big tree'!

After all, it's under a big tree that you can enjoy the shade!

But looking at the situation in Huguang at this time, Yang Sichang is just a 'light pole commander', with few soldiers and horses under his command, even if there is a great righteousness of the imperial court, but he is powerless to change the slightest reality, he can only 'talk on paper, look at the ocean and sigh'!

The only ones with combat power are He Renlong and Zuo Liangyu!

However, due to the personalities of the two, it is no wonder that Hu Guanghao is strong, how will he choose!

The cause of this 'farce' in Yicheng is also very simple!

The headquarters of the Heren Long Qin Army has been stationed in the Yunyang Prefecture area at the junction of Shaanxi, Henan, and Huguang, and can be attacked and defended when retreating, and can almost control the overall situation in the northwest, while Zuo Liangyu's army is stationed in Xiangyang, Wuchang, Jiangling and other prosperous 'big cities', and the arrangement is also close!

If the two sides are safe, they can also control the vast situation of the lake!

But the army is a thing, every day people eat horses and chew, purely large-scale consumption of groups!

Although there are 200,000 taels of silver supported by Liu Ruyi free of charge, the various units of the He Renlong and Qin armies are also close to 10,000 horses, and the daily expenses are definitely not a small number!

As for the imperial court, the salary and silver have not been in place for a long time, and the main force of the thieves is almost 'quiet', and He Renlong is spent in Yunyang at this time, which is almost equivalent to sitting on a mountain and eating nothing!

In addition, He Renlong has always been a character who does not admit defeat, although he accepted Liu Ruyi's silver, but he also knows that this is not a long-term solution, after all, the two are called brothers, but they can eat people with short mouths and short hands, and after a long time, how can He Renlong raise his head in front of Liu Ruyi?

So, He Renlong also learned from Zuo Liangyu and sent troops to the powerful clans in Yunyang Mansion to seek the support of the locals!

But Yunyang Mansion is located in a mountainous area, the economy is extremely backward, and over the years, the Sacrifice Thief Department, the Revolution Left Department, and the 'Cao Cao' Department have almost regarded this place as a 'base camp', and the local wealthy families are miserable, and they can't eat enough, so where can they get the silver and food for him to congratulate the dragon?

However, He Renlong is not stupid!

It's all the Huguang reinforcements of the imperial court this time, why can you Zuo Liangyu occupy the richest big cities, and Lao Tzu can only nest in the ravine of Yunyang Mansion, where birds don't?

After thinking about it, He Renlong decided to send troops out of Yunyang to the rich areas around Xiangyang Prefecture to 'turn into a relationship' to solve the problem of increasingly heavy military attrition.

But this kind of thing, thinking is one side, and doing it is another side.

These heroes of Xiangyang Mansion have already given Zuo Liangyu a 'protection fee', how can they still give He Renlong a second share?

In this way, the contradictions between the two sides will become more and more intense!

However, Xiangyang is a capital city, and it is the residence of the kings and nobles of the Huguang Domain and the high-ranking officials of the imperial court.

However, Yicheng near Xiangyang is the southern gate of Xiangyang Mansion, and it is not far from Wuchang City, where Zuo Liangyu is located at this time, so this place has become an excellent place for He Renlong to do it!

He Renlong does things, 'simple and rough', this is simply his mark, and this time is naturally no exception.

The garrison of the Left Army in Yicheng was less than 500 people, and there was only one deputy of the Left Army to guard it.

The three hundred personal soldiers under the command of He Renlong failed to 'turn into a fate' in Yicheng, so they naturally went directly to the camp of the defenders of the left army to ask for an explanation.

But the Qin army looked down on the left army, and how could the left army ever look down on the Qin army?

Before the two sides could say a word, they directly staged a full martial arts!

Of course, this is an infighting after all, and neither side dares to use weapons, but even so, a 'fierce battle' in the dark came down, dozens of people on each side died, and almost everyone was injured!

He Renlong had been planning for a long time, and immediately led the army to 'kill'!

Zuo Liangyu is naturally not to be outdone!

Are you kidding? Just the crazy birdman, he still wants to ride on Lao Tzu's head?

Immediately, Zuo Liangyu also ordered Wuchang soldiers and horses, fifty or sixty thousand people, and killed Yicheng violently!

The two sides camped less than a mile away, glaring at each other!

But this kind of thing is almost equivalent to 'rebellion', and the stakes are very high, although the two sides have opened up a fight, but no one dares to really do it!

is dragging out time, preparing to let the court, or someone with more weight, mediate this dispute!

It's a pity that Yang Sichang was on the verge of collapse due to his emaciated mental strength at this time, and he was bedridden, and he had no energy or ability at all to resolve the dispute between Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong!

The officials under his command had to report this matter to the court as quickly as possible!

And back then, when Liu Ruyi encircled and suppressed the thieves, Luo Anbang, a general in Xiangyang who was close to Liu Ruyi, also informed Liu Ruyi of this matter at the first time!

At this time, it was a few days earlier than the imperial court learned the news!

~~~~~~

In the wide tent, Dong Xiaowan was like a cute cat, already asleep in Liu Ruyi's arms, but Liu Ruyi frowned and slowly fell into deep thought!

In this world, why are there so many things that need to be done by yourself?

Here's why!

Liu Ruyi couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

Whether it is He Renlong or Zuo Liangyu, their vision has always been limited to the one-third of an acre of land in front of them, how could they have considered the overall situation of Daming at this time?

In the battle of Songshan, although the Caishi Army won by luck, the main force of the Qing army was not damaged, and its strength was still strong, and it was still the life-and-death enemy of the Ming Dynasty!

In the battle of the Central Plains, although the Caishi Army defeated Li Zicheng's '500,000' army, due to various reasons, although Li Zicheng's arm was broken, the strength of the camp was still not to be underestimated.

And Huguang, the thieves, is like a poisonous snake spitting a bright red snake letter, I don't know when, he will jump out and bite the already weak body of Da Ming!

In the southeast, although the bandit plague has subsided, the fleets of the Dutch and Spaniards have penetrated deep into this land praised by Marco Polo as 'gold everywhere'.

Moreover, according to the news that Dong Xiaowan told herself, the Caishi Chamber of Commerce has a batch of goods in the southeast, which seems to have been stuck in the hands of the Dutch, and now it is still fruitless, if you can't get an explanation, I'm afraid it will suffer heavy losses!

And farther north, the most brave and combative Cossack cavalry regiment under the command of the polar bear, I am afraid that it has also stretched out their bright steel knives against the vast Siberia and the fertile Far East!

In the west, the Tatars, who have been attached to polar bears, and many Yi~Si~Lan tribes under the teaching of the Koran, are also pampered and want to cut off the land and seal the territory!

In Nanyang, with the rise of colonialism, the Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, British, and French are plundering gold, spices, ores, and many riches that originally belonged to the Chinese at a frantic speed!

However, due to the weakness of the imperial court, these hard-working ancestors could only watch the wealth they had accumulated with their hard work and sweat being taken away by those white-haired ghosts, and even their lives were not guaranteed!

The four places of Daming are actually already in danger!

The dignity of the Ming Dynasty and the glory of the Chinese nation for 5,000 years are suffering from the provocation of the most red fruit in this world!

But the imperial court ......

Liu Ruyi was a little weak and exhaled a deep breath of turbidity!

If you want to change, you still have to rely on yourself!

can only rely on oneself to make the glory of the Chinese nation bloom in the forest of the strong in the world!

As the 'Wutai Poetry Case' said, 'Even if the dragon rises from the sea, it is difficult to give pride to Wutai!' The evil slaves roared Yao Shun, and all the people sighed in unison! Swear to turn an inch into a long sword and kill all the wolves and jackals in the world! If he travels on a triumphant day, I will make a comeback! ’

Whether it is a person or a nation, if you want to embark on the road of the strong, the process will undoubtedly be full of countless hardships!

Blood, bones, killing, screaming, breaking free......

This is a process that cannot be avoided and must be faced head-on!

"Since God has given himself such an opportunity, he has come to this point, what reason does he have to escape and retreat? What if it's all against odds? What if there is a river of blood? Even if you are burdened with eternal infamy, so what? ”

Liu Ruyi clenched his fists tightly, but a touch of fierceness flashed in his eyes that he had never seen before!

How big the heart is, how far the dream is!

How far away is the dream, you will force yourself, step by step, to transform the dream into reality!

However, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be taken step by step!

At this time, the door of Huguang has been opened to itself, so start with Huguang, and let the land of the entire world and the world tremble under the feet of himself and the Caishi Army!!
