Chapter 209: Zuo'er is on top

Li Xing and Yang Shucheng were placed in a private house, and they reported that General Zuo Liangyu was very busy and had to wait four or five days to meet them.

Unexpectedly, on the fifth day, the news of Zuo Liangyu's death came.

It turned out that Zuo Liangyu was in Wuchang, with 200,000 troops, and he was not angry with the dictatorship of Ma Shiying, the traitor minister of Nanjing, and at the instigation of his son, he gave up Wuchang and led all the people down the river to go to Nanjing and eliminate Ma Shiying.

When he walked to Jiujiang, he was very old, seriously ill, lying on the bed, unable to get up. The troops had to be stationed outside Jiujiang City.

If this Zuo'er wants to seize military power, it will be harmful to his father's will.

This Zuo'er is Zuo Liangyu's youngest son, who took his men and horses to Dabie Mountain to hunt and rob Bai Yuyao's wife Liu Yuqin.

Now when he saw that his father was seriously ill, he sent his men to find a woman in the cell in the city.

The subordinates brought the woman, and Zuo'er looked at the woman, dressed charmingly, and couldn't see any real skills.

The subordinate would observe the words, stepped forward, and whispered to Zuo'er: "Young marshal, don't look down on her, she will lock up Yongyang's kung fu, and she has locked up four or five people in the city, and no one dares to take her in."

Once, she locked up an important person, and the family was not angry, so they sued the government and put her in prison. There was a prison guard who didn't believe that she had such kung fu, and was locked up by her on the spot in prison. ”

Zuo'er looked at the woman and grinned. The subordinate asked, "Do you want a lot of handsome people to try her methods?" ”

"Forget it, you take her with you first and listen to the order on the side. I'll go in and call you later. ”

"Yes."

At this time, it was evening, Zuo Er came to Shuaifu, and Zuo Liangyu barely struggled and sat at the table to prepare for dinner.

When he saw Zuo'er coming in, he asked, "Where have you been these days?" ”

Zuo'er said: "I'm inquiring about the military situation. ”

"What's new?"

Zuo Er said: "Er inquired, that Ma Shiying, seeing that we sent troops, he was a little afraid, and hurriedly transferred two officers and soldiers stationed on the front line of the Huai River to guard against the Qing troops, the two garrison troops left, the defense was empty, the Qing soldiers in Shandong have come to the south, when the time comes, we will have a north-south attack with the Qing soldiers, not afraid that Ma Shiying will not be defeated, when the time comes, we will enter the city of Nanjing, and the world is not our final say." ”

Zuo Liangyu nodded with satisfaction.

Zuo'er said: "Now the situation is very favorable to us, I see that my father's health is about to improve, and we should also breathe a sigh of relief." ”

Zuo Liangyu was also very pleased and asked someone to bring wine to drink.

Zuo'er has already arranged it, and he has already given the medicine of the tiger and wolf in the wine. Zuo Liangyu has been ill for a long time, and he hasn't drunk much wine, but after drinking this wine, he only feels that there is a hot breath that only burns towards his heart, which cannot be suppressed.

After eating quickly, Zuo Liangyu said to his son: "You go back, I am also tired, and I want to rest." You patrol the troops at night, and you can't let the army have any trouble. ”

"Yes. The son retired. ”

This Zuo'er walked out, hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to bring the woman over, and whispered in her ear.

This woman killed several people in a chain, causing herself to go to prison, and she was a little scared.

The subordinate said to her: "What are you afraid of, you just have to do it, and when the time comes, the five hundred taels will be handed over to you, and from then on hide in the countryside, don't show your head, naturally no one will trouble you." ”

The woman was bold enough to follow the hand man in.

That Zuo Liangyu was sitting on the edge of the bed, feeling uncomfortable, and suddenly saw a family member walking in front of him with a woman, how could he stand it, and asked, "Song Fu, which one is this?" ”

Song Fu said: "This is newly bought, waiting for the old handsome." ”

Zuo Liangyu was hungry and thirsty, when he suddenly saw a woman like a flower and jade standing in front of him, how not to get angry, so he said: "Just let her come and wait for me, you go out, don't call you, don't come in." ”

"Yes."

Zuo Liangyu saw that Song Fu was gone, so he beckoned this woman to come over.

The two were together, and the madman was stormy for half the night. This Zuo Liangyu is an old man and a long-term illness, how can he stand it, I saw him bite his teeth, and as soon as he leaked his self-weight, he screamed "ah", and he was motionless.

This woman, seeing that he only had the breath coming out, but not the incoming qi, her body slowly stiffened. She was also a little frightened, and hurriedly crawled out from under him.

He hurriedly put on his clothes, lowered his head, and walked out.

As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw a flash of light, a splash of red light, and the woman didn't say a word, she leaned over and fell to the ground.

The guy held the knife and shouted outward: "Young marshal." ”

Na Zuo'er ran over, saw the woman lying in a pool of blood, hurriedly ran into the house, ran to the bed, looked at Zuo Liangyu, who was motionless, and shouted:

"Daddy......"

Of course Zuo Liangyu didn't agree, Zuo Er stepped forward to probe his nose, where was there still breath, and hurriedly shouted: "Come on, people......"

A group of generals walked in one by one and understood the death of General Zuo, because Zuo'er arranged it in advance, now these generals are in front of Zuo Liangyu's corpse, and they support Zuo'er to be the leader of these 200,000 officers and soldiers.

On the second day, the filial piety hall was opened to receive the memorials of generals from all walks of life.

Na Zuo'er knelt on the side, answered the salute one by one, and cried so much that even his voice was hoarse, and he couldn't speak.

These generals said: "Please don't be sad young marshal, everything is sad by the way, now the world is in chaos, I hope the young marshal will be on board as soon as possible, don't give people a chance to take advantage of." ”

Zuo Er said: "My father is newly mourned, his heart is in turmoil, and I hope that all the generals will work together to inherit my father's unfinished business, and I am here to kowtow to the generals." ”

Saying that, Zuo'er was in front of the filial piety hall and kowtowed to the generals.

These generals were deeply moved, hurriedly pulled Zuo'er up, and expressed their determination: "We swear to assist the young marshal to the death." ”

Zuo Er accepted the handsome banner and made the news public, and those nearby officials got the news and came to pay tribute to Zuo Liangyu.

Only then did Li Xing get the news that Zuo Liangyu was dead, and he also knew that Zuo Er had inherited the handsome position.

Together with Bai Yuyao and Yang Shucheng, he came to worship Zuo Liangyu with generous gifts.

In the mourning hall, there are many filial piety banners, full of mourning and joy, Li Xing took the two of them to kowtow in front of the spirit and burn paper.

Zuo Er knew Li Xing's origin, and hurriedly came over to answer the salute.

When the two sides saw each other, they still knew each other, and they were a little embarrassed. Li Xing has a request for Zuo'er, of course, he doesn't want to mention old things; Seeing that the overall situation is undecided, Zuo'er still wants to win people's hearts, so he naturally doesn't want to mention the old things.

On both sides, they pretended to be nothing, bowed, brought into another room, sat down, and served tea. Several important generals were on his side.

After a few polite words, we began to talk about the current tense situation.

This Zuo'er has no ambitions, he just wants to seize his father's power, but he is actually a pus.

Now that Zuo Shuai has just died, the generals in the army are torn apart, and there is a great tendency to fall apart.

These generals followed Zuo Liangyu to fight in the south and the north, and their minds were not confused, if the troops continued to advance eastward, Ma Shiying in Nanjing had already transferred two roads of men and horses to meet the left army, and the outcome was undecided.

In addition, the Qing soldiers followed, and these Qing soldiers were strong and powerful, and the left army was not an opponent.

And Li Zicheng occupied Nanyang, there are signs of coming towards Wuchang, if the fundamentals are lost, the dilemma is that the left army will inevitably be defeated.

These generals knew in their hearts that they really hoped that Zuo'er would not be able to do so, so they discussed not to advance eastward, but to return to Wuchang, reorganize the army, and focus on defense.

Li Xing also helped them analyze the current situation, and was very happy to see that these generals also agreed with him, and a banquet was set up here, and the two sides drank and ate.

Zuo'er was about to straighten out the people and go back to Wuchang, but Li Xing saw that something was going on here, so he took his leave and took the two of them to the east.

Coming all the way south from Henan, there was a delay of more than two months on the road, at this time, it was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, in order to seize the time, I did not take a boat, or rode a horse to the east.

Along the way, the river breeze blew on the body, very refreshing, and the three of them rode eastward.

After more than ten days, they walked to the territory of Anhui.

On this day, I walked to a small market town by the river, ate in a small restaurant in the town, and stayed at a small inn after dinner.

The next day, when they got up, Li Xing and Yang Shucheng saw that Bai Yuyao hadn't come out of the room yet, so they went to push the door, but the door was hidden.

When I went in, Bai Yuyao was sitting on the edge of the bed, her eyes were glazed, and the burden placed on the side of the bed was gone.

That's the gold, silver and jewelry that went to Nanjing to give gifts to people!
