Chapter 353: Two Emperors (3)
Fortunately, the righteousness of the two of them allowed more than 30,000 people from Zhang Luo's auxiliary department to go south, and Zhang Luofu's troops arrived in Kaifeng Mansion and clashed with the forward troops of Zuomengeng's department here.
Zuo Menggeng's troops fought for many years, and the soldiers arrived at Kaifeng Mansion at the end of the strong crossbow, and they were easily defeated by Zhang Luofu.
Zhang Luofu got the order to do everything possible to annihilate Zuo Mengeng's-stirring stick army, and got the latest holy decree sent by the imperial court, Gao Jie and Wu Dading launched an attack on Runing Mansion from Ruzhou and Henan Mansion, Zhang Luofu immediately ordered the troops to speed up, and they must seize Ruruning Mansion before Gaojie and Wu Dading.
He vaguely felt that His Majesty didn't seem to pay much attention to him, and he had to make some achievements to regain His Majesty's trust.
At this time, Zuo Mengeng was proud of the spring breeze in Runing Mansion, defeated Zhang Huangyan, cut off the back road of Zheng Chenggong's troops, successfully defeated the two main forces, and became a hegemon in Henan and Huguang.
At this time, an uninvited guest came to Runing Mansion, it turned out to be a Qing court envoy, he came to Runing Mansion, sent an invitation to Zuo Mengeng, asking Zuo Mengeng to form an alliance with the Qing army, Zuo Mengeng scoffed, but the messenger told Zuo Mengeng that he had provoked public anger.
Zuo Mengeng was still immersed in the joy of victory, he beat the Zuo family's forces back to Henan from Huguang, and there were many generals under his command, who else dared to provoke him?
The envoy told him that soon there would be the Hongguang Imperial Court, and the Chongzhen Imperial Court would attack the Zuo family, and at that time, the Zuo Army would be able to withstand the attack of the two major military groups?
Zuo Mengeng had already thought that the Hongguang army would attack, and if it couldn't be defeated, it would withdraw to Huguang, and Huguang couldn't hold it, so he surrendered to the Chongzhen court with his troops.
"The Exotic Reclamation of Vegetable Skeletons"
Suddenly heard that the Chongzhen court was also going to attack, and he panicked all of a sudden, and the Qing court envoy pointed out a clear way for him at this time, so that he could go north to be loyal to the Qing court, not only to tear the soil and seal the marquis, but also to glorify the ancestors.
Zuo Mengeng did not believe the envoys of the Qing court, and received a battle report from the front, Chongzhen's army attacked Runing Mansion from Kaifeng, which made Zuo Mengeng angry, he decided to touch with Chongzhen's army, maybe he could defeat Chongzhen's army, and go north to occupy half of Henan.
He asked the Qing court envoy to stay in Runing Mansion to see how he defeated the Chongzhen army, but he didn't know that it was not just the Chongzhen army
The team attacked Zuo's family, Bai Wang, who was in the Huguang area, heard that the Chongzhen imperial army used troops to Henan on a large scale, and immediately thought that this was a good opportunity, he rushed back to Shanxi, and asked Li Zicheng for instructions, do you want to eat Zuo Liangyu's base camp Wuchang Mansion?
Li Zicheng's Dashun army had a rebellion not long ago, a large number of Ming troops returned to the Chongzhen court, at this time the Dashun army in Shaanxi did not have many troops, but in the Huguang area Bai Wang's troops were strong and strong, Li Zicheng let Bai Wang see the opportunity to act, if he could eat Wuchang Mansion, he would eat it, and if he couldn't eat it, it would be okay to sit and watch the Ming army fight.
Bai Wang returned to the Huguang front, secretly mobilized troops and horses, and only waited for the outbreak of war in Henan Ming Army, so he waved his army south, broke through Wuchang Mansion in one fell swoop, and captured Zuo Liangyu alive.
Zuo Liangyu's condition is getting more and more serious, and he has reached the point where he can't advance the water and rice, and he lost his command of the army, and told him left and right that Zuo Mengeng was making a big deal in Henan, and he sometimes applauded and sometimes scolded Zuo Mengeng for being a fool.
Zuo Mengeng knew that his father scolded him, but he didn't care, he had already laid heavy troops on the way for Kaifeng Mansion to enter Runing Mansion, and as long as Chongzhen's army entered Runing Mansion, they would be ambushed.
He has the confidence to win and defeat Zhang Luofu's army.
Zhang Luofu's forward troops entered Runing Mansion from Xiping County, Zuo Mengeng let this part of the Ming army pass, he wanted to let the Ming army enter Runing Mansion and defeat Zhang Luofu's auxiliary troops in a battle in Runing Mansion.
The envoy of the Qing court said in his ear: "General Zuo, if the strength is insufficient, our Northern Dynasty can send reinforcements." ”
Zuo Mengeng sarcastically mocked the Qing army envoy to look down on his army, he wanted the Qing army envoy to see how terrifying the combat effectiveness of the Zuo army was, after Zuo Mengeng gathered the main force, he waited for Zhang Luofu's main force to arrive in Runing Mansion.
After Zhang Luofu's troops entered Runing Mansion, they suddenly changed their mentality of rushing for merit, and led their troops to withdraw to Xiping County, the border line, and did not attack south, but waited for Gao Jie and Wu Dading to enter Runing Mansion.
He thought that the three armies working together to annihilate Zuo Mengeng's troops would make all the soldiers and horses more united, but this was just Zhang Luofu's wishful thinking, Zhu Youzhen did not think that his troops were descendants, and Zhang Luofu could betray Ling Jingyang, so he could betray him.
Zhu Youzhen wants to dilute this
A troop, let this troop consume, and then tilt the sand inside, so that Zhang Luofu's influence is getting smaller and smaller.
Zhang Luofu garrisoned in Xiping County, Zuo Mengeng was dumbfounded, he was strong and strong, but he also had no ability to attack Zhang Luofu's troops, he and the Qing court envoy said: "The Chongzhen court is full of rats. ”
The envoy of the Qing court looked down on Zuo Mengeng, saying that others were rats, and he was an insect ant, he instigated Zuo Mengeng to attack, Zuo Mengeng still did not dare to attack, he led the troops to provoke Zhang Luofu, Zhang Luofu ignored Zuo Mengeng, his subordinates were angry, and fought with the left army, Zhang Luofu kicked over, and the generals did not speak, and the other generals never dared to go out of the city to fight.
Zhang Luofu didn't dare to fight, and another reason was that his subordinates were not in harmony, since Lin Erle and Mei Shifeng came back, the two of them got Zhu Youzhen's trust, and they followed Zhu Youzhen with all their hearts, and their attitude towards Zhang Luofu changed a lot.
This time Mei Shifeng did not go to the battle, he was entrusted with a heavy task by Zhu Youzhen to reorganize the rebel army, Mei Shifeng did his best to reorganize the rebel army into a well-trained army, and the rogue was blasted out, and some of the scoundrels were angry, and they wanted to dedicate Yicheng to the Qing army.
Mei Shifeng opened a killing ring in Yicheng, the blood of the scoundrels who were killed was like a river, the whole Yicheng was in a loud voice, Mei Shifeng killed more and more ruthlessly, and in the end, the children in Yicheng did not dare to cry, Zhu Youzhen fully trusted Mei Shifeng, and he also needed Mei Shifeng's knife to eliminate hostile forces for him.
Mei Shifeng's outstanding ability, Zhu Youzhen has a great interest in him, and has the heart to let him replace Zhang Luofu, Zhang Luofu fought with Zuo Mengeng in Runing Mansion, but Zhu Youzhen ordered Gao Jie and Wu Dading to fight steadily and steadily, and the implication is to let Zhang Luofu and Zuo Mengeng separate the winners and losers, and then clean up the mess.
But Zhu Youzhen was not stupid enough to let Wu Dading, Gao Jie annexed Zhang Luo's auxiliary soldiers and horses, and ordered Mei Shifeng to lead 20,000 righteous troops to Kaifeng Mansion, Chongzhen's imperial army almost poured into the nest, the entire Shanxi only Ling Jingyang, He Zhen, Jiang Huang three soldiers and horses, Zhu Youzhen and the three of them were at odds, but they always believed that these three people would not surrender to the Qing army, there were three soldiers and horses, and the Qing army went south to attack Yicheng one-way block, the only thing he needed to watch out for was the Shaanxi Dashun army, the Shaanxi Dashun army has been unified, Li Zicheng and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs learned from the pain, Vows revenge.
