Yuan Jixian understands why Liu Zhaoji, as a veteran of Liaodong, can only be a deputy chief soldier until now.

He had to admit that Liu Zhaoji was indeed a little arrogant, he didn't understand human feelings at all, and he was not very polite to himself, and even Jingnanhou, who took Huang Degong as a dignified, dared to directly ask someone to come here, instead of going to discuss it himself.

If it weren't for the fact that the national crisis was at the forefront and there was an urgent need to employ people, there was no distinction between high and low civil and military, and Liu Zhaoji would not be able to be the deputy commander of the Guards.

Although he has some nostalgia for Liu Zhaoji's vulgarity and roughness, Yuan Jixian has no intention of careging, and now is indeed an extraordinary moment, and he can only obey the rules.

Yuan Jixian personally wrote a letter inviting Huang Degong of Jiujiang to come to Anqing.

Huang Degong did not think he was proud of being a marquis, and wanted to put up a marquis's shelf, seeing the invitation of the governor Yuan Jixian, and the invitation of Liu Zhaoji, the deputy chief soldier of His Majesty's army, he also rode a horse and rushed overnight.

As soon as he saw Huang Degong, Liu Zhaoji was also generous, and waved his hand at Huang Degong:

"The official should have come to Hou Ye in person to listen to the order, but Liu was under the emperor's order, and the war was urgent, and most of the left army was gathered in Anqing Mansion, so he had to invite Hou Ye to come in person, if there was any desecration, please forgive Hou Ye!"

Yuan Jixian couldn't help but smile secretly, thinking that this Liu Zhaoji was not ignorant of the rules at all, and he actually blamed him.

"You and I are both people who lead soldiers, why do you care about being so polite, what kind of marquis is not marquis, it is only a matter of one or two years for Liu Zongbing to be crowned a marquis in the future!"

Huang Degong arched his hand towards Yuan Jixian as he spoke: "Zuo Liangyu, that guy bullied Yuan Gong is a scholar, these days he is looking for trouble with you, but he doesn't know that Yuan Gong is an all-rounder who can govern the army on the horse and calm the people when he gets off the horse, not an ordinary scholar, he deserves his Zuo Liangyu to touch his nose, and now General Liu has led the army to help, even if he Zuo Liangyu does not die of illness, he will be executed!" ”

When Huang Degong said this, everyone present laughed.

Yuan Jixian couldn't help but wave his hand: "The Marquis of Jingnan praised it falsely, how can Yuan Mou be virtuous, if it weren't for the Marquis of Jingnan who let the left army eat a closed door under Jiujiang City, and suffered another big defeat, even if my Yuan scholar has the ability of Wuhou, he can't stop hundreds of thousands of left troops." ”

"You superiors don't have to boast, it's not too late to be humble after getting the head of the traitor Zuo Liangyu!"

At this time, Shen Lian of Jinyi Wei Qianhu walked in with a smile, holding a yellow book in his hand, of course, if it weren't for the holy decree, he would not be able to enter the military forbidden land where the governor and the general soldier level were located.

As soon as Huang Degong and the others saw that there was a holy decree, they all prostrated down.

"After Liu Zhaoji arrived, Huang Degong was the commander-in-chief, and all the troops in Huguang and Jiangxi launched the final attack on Zuo Liangyu's department, Liu Zhaoji was the vanguard, taking on the main offensive task, and Yuan Jixian was the supervising army to be fully responsible for the transportation of military food and the work of rebellion and appeasement, but on the day of the decisive battle, all the left troops that had not surrendered were annihilated, and no one was allowed to be let go!"

Shen Lian said and handed the holy decree to Huang Degong: "Your Majesty only gave Liu Zhaoji an oracle, and what you gave to the next is a clear decree, in addition, Your Majesty made it clear, please rest assured that Jingnan Hou and Yuan Gong are relieved, after the Zuo Rebellion is eliminated, the promise of His Majesty in the past is still valid, as long as he gets Zuo Liangyu's head, the Duke of the Kingdom will be crowned with the Duke of the Kingdom, and the Duke of the Three Princes will still be rewarded with meritorious service!" But now I hope you will work together to stab the left reverse for the last time! ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured! The ministers will definitely do it! ”

Huang Degong and Yuan Jixian originally thought that after the imperial court changed the strategy of blocking Zuo Liangyu's ministry to the strategy of exterminating Zuo Liangyu's department, they would no longer fulfill their promise of rewarding them in the past.

But the two didn't expect that His Majesty Zhu Youzhen directly stated that the promise was still valid.

The two of them were naturally overjoyed, and their enthusiasm for exterminating Zuo Liangyu naturally increased a lot, and Yuan Jixian completely let go of Liu Zhaoji's initial disrespect for him as a civil servant, and even no longer minded being commanded by a marquis who was born as a military attaché.

The three of them hurriedly unfolded the map and began to discuss how to better annihilate Zuo Liangyu's troops.

"At present, Zuo Liangyu's department also has Jin Shenghuan's department, Luo Dai's department, Daoxing's department, Zhang Yuanliang's department, and Zuo Liangyu's personal soldiers led by Zuo Menggeng, a total of more than 300,000 troops, including about 150,000 infantry, about 5,000 cavalry, 10,000 firearms and artillery, and the rest are auxiliaries; And our army is now totaling about 270,000, Jingnanhou's Seventh Guards Army has 150,000, the official personally recruited 50,000 township soldiers, plus the 70,000 brought by General Liu, the strength of the two sides is equal, but the First Corps of General Liu's Guards is a new force, whether it can completely annihilate the left rebellion, it depends on whether Liu Zongbing's command can defeat Zuo Liangyu's personal soldiers! ”

Yuan Jixian said and said: "The 100,000 personal soldiers led by Zuo Liangyu are veterans who have followed him for many years, many of them fought against the Tatars in Liaodong back then, and also fought with Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other rogues for many years, even if he attacked Jiujiang and Anqing, he has not used all his personal soldiers, and has always retained his strength, as long as Liu Zongbing defeats his personal soldiers, the remaining officials and Huang Degong are surrounded on all sides, and they don't worry about not being able to completely annihilate Zuo Liangyu's department!" ”

"Please rest assured that the two Shangguan and the First Corps of the First Army of the Guards Army are in the name of a strong army, but they have never had the opportunity to prove their strength in actual combat, and now they are taking advantage of this to test their skills!"

Liu Zhaoji asked Huang Degong to give an order.

And Huang Degong did not rush to order, but asked Yuan Jixian: "In addition to Zuo Liangyu's pro-army, what is the recent movement of the generals under Zuo Liangyu's command, Weng Zhiqi can start a siege of one department, Li Shichun of Yuan Governor can also start a siege of the left army, and Liu Zongbing's department fights Zuo Liangyu's army, but there are still two left armies, but it is difficult to transfer troops for a while to carry out a siege. ”

"Xiaguan dared to interject, according to the report of the informant who was installed in Zuo Reverse by our Jinyi Guard, it seems that Jin Shenghuan's strategy of Zuo Liangyu to fight Jiujiang and then Anqing has a lot of complaints, and Zuo Liangyu always makes him a pioneer, so that he loses his troops and generals, and his subordinates and himself are now even more dissatisfied with Zuo Liangyu, plus this person also has an antipathy for rebellion, Yuan Gong used to be the governor of the Imperial History of Zuo Qiandu Xunyang and Jin Shenghuan were both under the command of Yang Sichang, and even used to be a subordinate up and down, Yuan Gong can work this person!"

Shen Lian said.

Yuan Jixian laughed: "You Jinyiwei don't only start big cases, kill people and set fire to spread the holy decree, and there is also the benefit of this kind of probing the enemy's news, the news is also very well-informed, and the key is to connect the official and the details with his Jin Shenghuan's details, it is rare!" To tell the truth, this person sent someone to find me, I didn't dare to agree, I have sent someone to pass the secret music into Beijing, by His Majesty to take it, after all, Jin Shenghuan is a general of the left rebellion, whether it can be appeased or not, Yuan does not dare to assert it, but now for the total annihilation of the left counter-plan, the general will not be subject to the order of the monarch outside, and can only wait for His Majesty's reply, this official will write to Jin Shenghuan, when the time comes, if Your Majesty blames Yuan for a certain person, but this letter also asks you Jinyiwei to forward it on your behalf. ”
