Huama Liu Jiu fought fiercely with the thief army, with rich experience in field battles, that Xin Lehou is estimated to have come out to gild, and in the king's body, Bai Wang's strongest general, he surrendered, Bai Wang died, and De'an's rat nest ...... Needless to say?

"How many soldiers and horses have been mobilized by the Overseer to quell the chaos this time?" The person who asked this is called Huang Shu, he is the imperial history and the Huguang patrol is in charge of supervising the army Zuo Liangyu, but he was used by Zuo Liangyu to become his staff strategist, this guy is also a second force, and the most famous thing he did was to scold Ma Shiying and list the top ten crimes for him, which is really quite righteous words. But this goods were finally cleared, not to mention, but also led the Qing army to break Fujian, which made future generations scold.

Guo Ren sighed slightly, from Gyeonggi to the south there are Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, Huang Degong, Li Yan, Wu Sangui, Ma Ke, and the emperor's personal guards, about 60,000 horses, plus 20,000 Nanjing and surrendered troops, a total of about 100,000!

Whew, everyone suddenly gasped, and they all saw each other's thoughts when they looked at each other, 100,000 troops! 100,000 troops! 100,000 troops! And he even transferred Wu Sangui and Ma Ke, which is also bold, and the border is not guarded.

I really have to weigh it up, weigh it!

"This 100,000 army consumes grain and grass every day is not a small amount, and the imperial court has really spent a lot of money for Pingbai Wang" Xu Yong smiled, Guo Ren glanced at him, and said expressionlessly: "You can't just watch them fight to Nanjing, the gatekeeper can't stand it, the master has to take action in person, as for the grain and grass, the court has not issued a penny."

Poof, everyone almost vomited blood when they heard this, first of all, they scolded them for being a watchdog, or an incompetent watchdog, of course they heard this, but they were angry in their hearts but it was not good to attack immediately, and secondly, they were surprised when they heard the words in the back.

Without waiting for them to ask again, he took the initiative to say: "The grain and grass departments are self-sufficient, and the yamen of several prefectures along the way also donate free of charge, and the lords of Nanjing City are even more generous, as for why you want to ask, I don't know this, maybe you can ask the Overseer."

A Dongchang fanzi spoke so impulsively and sarcastically and secretly mocked, which did make everyone's hearts angry, but because of his special identity and the unknown situation, everyone pressed the fire and did not turn their faces, but they felt that Dongchang really deserved its reputation, and they were very arrogant from top to bottom, but their attention was more focused on these newly obtained news.

For example, are Liu Zeqing's gang stupid, they actually paid out of their own pockets to travel thousands of miles to suppress bandits and quell chaos? The credibility of these words can be a little bit, this Dongchang fan will not be untrustworthy.

But what he said is false, where did the imperial court get so much military rations, not to mention the treasury official warehouse, absolutely not, now there is a great famine in the Gyeonggi area, including people starving to death every day in the capital, it is impossible to come up with so much food.

What means does this little eunuch have to make Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie's kind of prickly head so obedient and willing to use it, Zuo Liangyu couldn't figure it out, and slowly picked up the letter and opened it, his eyes narrowed instantly.

Seeing Zuo Liangyu's solemn expression, everyone held their breath, and the lobby was silent for a while, but Guan Ren looked at a few of his subordinates at the door with an indifferent face, and even grinned.

Half a ring, Zuo Liangyu handed the letter in his hand to Huang Shu, everyone surrounded the past, opened it and saw a few lines of words: grain and grass are not enough, urgently need ten thousand stones, send it to Jiujiang within five days, hear that Zuo Gong Linglang is smart and wise, wise and brave, this governor is thirsty, he can send him to Jiujiang to meet.

There are not many words, and the words are not intense, but they are all in an unquestionable command tone, and the requirements are very simple, I need food ten thousand stones, you send me to Jiujiang within five days, and I want to meet your son Zuo Mengeng.

If the scene was silent just now, then it is extremely strange now, according to the normal reaction, the generals should have scolded after reading the content of this letter, but no one spoke out at this time, not because they didn't dare to scold because there were Dongchang fans, but they were weighing the weight and intention of the little eunuch's words.

"A few people are tired of traveling, go back to the guest room to rest first, and then set up a banquet for you in the evening, and reply to the Overseer by the way?" Zuo Liangyu first separated the situation and his party, of course, he did not forget to let the housekeeper give him more silver, and after he left, Zuo Liangyu sneered on his face: "What do you think?" ”

"This eunuch doesn't think that it is still the Apocalypse Dynasty and he is Wei Zhongxian, and the dignified court general dares to shout and go like this." The young Zuo Mengeng took the lead in spraying, and Zuo Liangyu glanced at him: "Although Chongzhen does not have the national strength of the Apocalypse, this eunuch's methods may not be inferior to Wei Zhongxian, at least Wei Gelding will not fight" said and looked at Huang Shu: "Why does Huang Gong?" "Worry-free love book network

"Throwing stones to ask for directions, temptation" Huang Shu stroked his beard and sneered, Zuo Liangyu asked again: "Asking for food is a temptation, why did you let Meng Geng go, as a hostage?" ”

Huang Shu sighed: "This eunuch's mind is unfathomable, if he wants food, he will throw stones, let Meng Geng go to ask for directions, he is a fierce medicine, he does not leave any room for the general at all, he directly asks you to express his position, give it to it, if you don't give it, it's the opposite, don't imagine it like before, neither oppose nor obey orders to play sloppy."

"If you don't give it to him, you'll come and beat me?" Zuo Liangyu sneered, and Huang Shu said: "It doesn't matter if he fights or not, it doesn't matter when he will fight, the important thing is that the general has thought about whether he wants to rebel, or whether he will rebel now?" ”

"What does Huang Gong think, is it the right time?" Zuo Liangyu's face gradually became solemn, and the generals also whispered.

"It stands to reason that the imperial court first beat the thief and then fought the Tartar is now flat Baiwang, the national strength and strength are all empty, it has reached the end of the strong crossbow, even if we raise the flag against him, he has no plan for a while, but the words come again, at this time Bai Wang died, Li Zicheng and failed to go to Xi'an, Zhang Xianzhong hid in Sichuan, which both transferred Wu Sangui and Ma Ke also shows that the Tartars are not able to commit again, at the moment the court has no worries, if we raise the flag at this time, the gun shoots the first bird, the 100,000 army will immediately press over, we are equivalent to offering thieves to block guns, Let them benefit from the fisherman". The head of Huang Shu's analysis was Dao, and the general Chang Deng snorted coldly: "What can I do if he presses him over, he is tired from fighting for a long time and has no food and grass, what can we consume."

Huang Shu glanced at him: "This discussion is against or not, not war or not."

Chang Deng was silent, and Zuo Liangyu shook his head with a wry smile: "If you say it, it means that you don't say it" and glanced at everyone: "What do you mean, let's give it or not."

Everyone was speechless for a while, and Daniel Zhang coughed lightly and said: "As the patrol said, at this time, the flag gun shoots the first bird, although its army is exhausted, it cannot be underestimated, even if it dares to be so tough, it must have something, although the last general does not know how to supply its grain and grass, but presumably the eunuch must have a solution, such as his subordinates are all overlords of the side with a rich background, Huang Chuangzi does not want to die in battle, Li Yan is good at planning, Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing has both soldiers and grain in his hands and rich combat experience, plus the strength of Wu Sangui, Ma Ke and other border armies should not be underestimated, although the soldiers and horses in Nanjing are weak, but behind it are Xu Hongji's nobles, which one is not a family with a lot of wealth, and it is not possible to make money for war" said and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What method did the eunuch use to make these people willing to contribute money and efforts."

Everyone smiled bitterly, and no one could figure it out.

Daniel Zhang's words carried a lot of weight, which made Zuo Liangyu's psychology count, and everyone's thoughts may be similar: not not against him, not afraid of him, but at the wrong time.

"If so, how about maintaining the status quo?" Zuo Liangyu coughed lightly, but everyone was confused when they heard it, maintaining the status quo was not to obey the order and not to rebel, but the eunuch no longer gave him the opportunity to continue to play sloppy, and only gave him two choices.

But Huang Shu understood that Zuo Liangyu meant to agree to the little eunuch's request, to retreat into advance, delay time and wait for a good time, because as long as he responded, the eunuch would have no excuse to continue to press, and the 100,000 army could not always be placed at the door, he had to return to the court, but he would not always recuperate, because Li Zicheng was the emperor in Xi'an, which was something that the Ming Emperor could never accept and could not bear, and would send troops to attack Xi'an as soon as possible, and that was his own opportunity.

Zuo Mengeng was too young to think of such a far, and when he heard his father say this, he immediately shouted: "Isn't it to show weakness to that eunuch, we just don't obey, what can he do, I really don't believe he dares to call."

"This is not called showing weakness, it is to retreat as advance" Huang Shu explained, and said: "Although I am not afraid of its call, it may not call, but it will definitely exert pressure, you must know that Jiujiang is no longer under our control at this time, there are always people on the side of the couch eyeing each other, every move is under its watch, how can we plan big things."

These words made everyone frown again.

Jiujiang is the frontier position of Zuo Liangyu in the east, originally by the henchman Jin Shenghuan garrison, when he pretended to be sick in Jiujiang and did not move anywhere, the imperial court in Jiangxi, Huguang, Yingtian, Anqing ad hoc governor, the governor is in Jiujiang, Lu Daqi served as the governor, the two fell in love and killed each other for a period of time, after Zuo Liangyu attacked and occupied Wuchang, and Lu Daqi directly took Jin Shenghuan away, and then he returned to Nanjing to serve as the secretary of the military department, Jiujiang's people became Yuan Jixian, this is a year earlier than Lu Daqi in Jiujiang Governor's military affairs, The official position is the right squire of the military department and the right of the imperial history, when Zhang Xianzhong captured Wuchang Zuo Liangyu ran from Jiujiang to Wuhu, it was Yuan Jixian who went to Wuhu alone to persuade Zuo Liangyu to recover Wuchang, after Lu Daqi came, he retreated to the second in command, but later he was lured into the army under house arrest by Zuo Mengeng, and later dedicated to the Tartars, the old Yuan Ning was killed without surrendering, this is a later story.

It is conceivable that such a loyal and patriotic official threw himself into his arms without Chang Yu beckoning at this time, and as Huang Shu speculated, they had lost control of Jiujiang, otherwise the little eunuch would not have directly ordered them to send grain and grass to Jiujiang.
