According to the reason that eggs cannot be put in one basket, Confucius asked for help not only from Wu Shigong's army, but also from Liu Zeqing, a general of Caozhou.

Caozhou Staff General Liu Zeqing had a rated number of 8,000 soldiers. Of course, he also had to eat empty pay, so the total number of his army must not be so large. Coupled with the size of the system, as well as the remaining garrison of other local armies, and the garrison of Caozhou, his own headquarters, so when he arrived in Zuihou, Liu Zeqing only led more than 2,200 soldiers to rescue Qufu County.

Of course, Liu Zeqing's soldiers and horses did not have the strong mobilization ability of Wu Shigong's Runing battalion, nor did they have the strong marching ability of Wu Shigong's Runing battalion, so it was not until Wu Shigong's Runing battalion left Qufu County that Liu Zeqing's army was late.

But you must know that the relationship between Confucius and Liu Zeqing is not very harmonious. Pretty bad, to be exact.

Liu Zeqing is a native of Caozhou, he is actually a delicate character, and his relationship with the local gentry is quite harmonious. However, he had a bad relationship with the Confucian Mansion.

What went wrong? It is land, and there are many contradictions between the two sides in order to grab the land.

Liu Zeqing also took advantage of his power and the disaster in Shandong to annex land on a large scale in order to loot money, and of course, a small part of the money was used to raise soldiers.

It should be said that everything Liu Zeqing did was not fundamentally different from everything Wu Shigong did in Henan. And in the world of the Ming Dynasty, it is also a common practice for military generals to do this.

However, I don't know if it should be said that Liu Zeqing is unlucky? Or is it the misfortune of Confucius? In the process of Liu Zeqing's annexation of land, he encountered a behemoth - Confucian Mansion.

In the process of annexing land in the past, because of its noble background and powerful power, whenever there was a dispute, the elbow of this local official was always crooked in the direction of Confucius. Therefore, when Confucius encountered a conflict with Liu Zeqing, it must have been an unreasonable and unforgiving attitude.

After avoiding it a few times, Liu Zeqing was also ruthless. Who is Liu Zeqing? He is a ruthless character who will send a killer to kill his concubine's former benefactor in order to dispel the rumors that he used to be a concubine who was a famous prostitute!

Therefore, in the future struggle with Confucius, Liu Zeqing made frequent tricks, which made Confucius a little unbearable. Therefore, in the struggle between the two sides, the Confucian Mansion fell to a disadvantage.

It's also an interesting fact. The Confucian Mansion is not afraid of local officials from literati, but is afraid of ruthless military leaders like Liu Zeqing. This can be regarded as one thing for one thing!

Therefore, when the Confucian Mansion knew that Liu Zeqing had led troops to rescue Qufu County, the people in the Confucian Mansion immediately fell into a panic. They also knew that Liu Zeqing would not treat such nobles as Shengyan Gong as well, but it was inevitable to beat a few subordinates of the Confucian Mansion, molest a few slaves and maids of the Confucian Mansion, and rob some of the property in Qufu County.

Therefore, the Confucian Mansion immediately sent someone to call back Wu Shigong's army that had left the Confucian Mansion, so that Wu Shigong's army and Liu Zeqing's army could contain each other, and it was best to let Liu Zeqing's army also leave Qufu County with Wu Shigong's army.

Of course, the Confucian Mansion steward who came to Wu Shigong for interrogation was not so stupid, and he did not explain the ins and outs to Wu Shigong. But Wu Shigong knew that this was a trip to troubled waters, and he didn't want to offend the other friendly army for no reason.

Seeing Wu Shigong's attitude, the steward of the Confucian Mansion had no choice but to use words to squeeze Wu Shiwen on the side: "Wu Zhixian, the villain learned that the adults have always been friendly with General Liu. You're going to have to help with this! When the time comes, our Confucian Mansion will be grateful! ”

Wu Shiwen's face was also ugly. For the heavy thanks of this Confucian Mansion, the nearby officials also knew that it was nothing more than pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and other cultural supplies. But Liu Zeqing can offend the Confucian Mansion, and Wu Shiwen, a civil official, wants to mix in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, but he definitely can't offend the Confucian Mansion.

So Wu Shiwen had no choice but to say: "Then the official will go for a trip." Whether it can be successful or not, can the official pack the ticket! ”

Wu Shigong couldn't leave his fifth brother alone. So, Wu Shigong took dozens of personal soldiers and accompanied Wu Shiwen to Liu Zeqing's station.

In fact, although Liu Zeqing had a lot of fun fighting with the Confucian Mansion in secret, he didn't dare to mess with the Confucian Mansion in the open. Otherwise, what if he would have to come to the rescue of Qufu County?

Therefore, when the people sent by the Confucian government stopped Liu Zeqing's army and asked them to stand by, Liu Zeqing still stopped moving. Of course, this scolding scolds the Confucian Mansion for not doing things authentically, which is always inevitable.

Liu Zeqing was very polite to the two brothers, Wu Shiwen and Wu Shigong. As soon as he saw them, he immediately led them into the army.

But as soon as it was settled, Liu Zeqing opened his mouth and complained: "Brother Zhihe, this Shengyan Gong hurriedly called his brother over. But now we haven't wiped a handful of sweat, so we are cold outside the city, which is to make us drink the northwest wind! ”

This Liu Zeqing did not call Wu Shiwen's official name, and called Wu Shiwen's word as soon as he opened his mouth, and he could see at a glance that he was very familiar with Wu Shiwen.

Seeing that there were no others around, Wu Shiwen had no scruples, and said, "Who said it wasn't!" Brother Hezhou. But this old man is like this. Give the little brother a face, just bear with this breath. ”

Liu Zeqing let out a long sigh and shook his head. He suddenly found Wu Shigong beside Wu Shiwen, and asked, "Who is this?" Ben will look familiar! ”

Wu Shigong also felt that Liu Zeqing was very familiar. Of course, in order to grab Tang Liu's ship in Tongzhou at that time, they almost caught fire. How can it not be familiar?

Wu Shiwen hurriedly introduced: "This is my fourteenth brother Wu Shigong. He is now appointed as the garrison of Runing Mansion. This time, when I passed through Shandong, I was also unlucky enough to encounter a rebellion, so I stayed in my Ningyang County. This time, he also came to the rescue of Qufu County according to the order of Sheng Yangong. ”

Wu Shigong also remembered who Liu Zeqing was, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "General Liu, say goodbye to Tongzhou, are you okay?" ”

"It's you!" Liu Zeqing also remembered Wu Shigong. He daxiao for a while and said, "I didn't expect to meet old people here." We're going to have a few drinks later! ”

"It's not just that we have met people in other places, we are still sympathetic to each other. Don't hide it from Brother Liu, the younger brother has just been kicked out of Qufu County. I want to drink to kill my sorrows! ”

Wu Shigong's joke caused a burst of daxiao around, and the relationship between the two sides immediately became much more harmonious.

In fact, there is nothing to persuade him, this Confucian family in Qufu County, no one can offend him in Mingli. Therefore, Liu Zeqing also knew that without the consent of the Confucian Mansion, his army would never be able to enter Qufu County. He is just pretending to have a seizure here, and he wants to dig out more benefits from the Confucian Mansion.

But in the face of the two brothers Wu Shiwen and Wu Shigong, Liu Zeqing has no need to do this. So, under the arrangement of Liu Zeqing's personal soldiers, the three of them found a restaurant on the side of the road and drank happily.

Liu Zeqing is indeed a good person, and Wu Shigong's personal feelings are not bad. And both of them are local military leaders, and they have a lot of common language. Therefore, after three rounds of drinking, the two of them also called each other brothers and became intimate.

But about the iron rooster in the Confucian Mansion, Liu Zeqing still scolded at the wine table. In this regard, Wu Shigong also deeply agrees. But Wu Shigong rolled his eyes and thought of a way.

Wu Shigong whispered to Liu Zeqing: "Brother Liu, in fact, the Confucian Mansion can't afford our money and food, we can still find it from other places!" The little brother has an idea......"

After listening to Wu Shigong's idea, Liu Zeqing immediately laughed, and he said to Wu Shigong: "Okay! Just do what Brother Wu did! ”
