Chapter 1398: Mental Journey

Although Zuo Liangyu had an idea in his heart and had 200,000 troops, he didn't dare to act rashly, he would not pull the flag to rebel when the Ming Dynasty was dying, but he would not easily obey the order as cannon fodder, so he had been waiting for a suitable time, and then made a splash.

So in the past two years, while recruiting troops and horses in Wuchang to hoard grain and grass, he sent a large number of his subordinates to collect news reports everywhere, and even bought some officials and Jinyi Wei, so that he wanted to grasp the most timely news.

Last year, Li Zicheng captured Xi'an Jianguo Dashun, Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan and also proclaimed himself the king of Daxi, which made Zuo Liangyu feel that the time was close and began to move, and at the beginning of the year, when Li Zicheng went east, he began to prepare for some things, and when he heard that Bai Wang also went out of the mountain along the river in Jiujiang, Zuo Liangyu's heart was happy.

As long as these two thieves attack Beijing and Nanjing, he will dare to make a big move, if the Ming Dynasty is overthrown by it, it will be better.

So he always paid attention to the progress of the battle, and at the beginning Li Zicheng and Bai Wang really didn't disappoint him, it was all the way like a bamboo, one crossed the Yellow River to the east and went straight to Taiyuan, and the other went straight to Anqing at the mouth of the lake.

But...... Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and Zhou Yuji resisted Li Zicheng's dozens of dozen troops in Taiyuan, defeating him in one fell swoop and fleeing in embarrassment.

I'll go! This news shocked Zuo Liangyu, and he was also very puzzled, Zhou Yuji is a fierce general, but he is not so fierce, why did he suddenly become so awesome...... After all, it was Chang Yu's official debut, and his reputation had not yet been hit, and no one noticed the hard work he had made behind his back, and the scenery was on Zhou Yuji and Cai Maode.

A failure is nothing, and then Li Zicheng directly followed Liu Fangliang's steps east to the north from the other road, dozens of troops attacked Baoding Mansion in one fell swoop, and heard that the Qing army outside the Guanwai was going south, at this time Zuo Liangyu was high for the second time, and felt that this time the court must not be able to bear it.

But...... I wiped, the thief was beaten back again, and Dolgon's Han Han was tricked by Wu Sangui to be smashed outside Ningyuan City and was dizzy.

This is against common sense! Zuo Liangyu stomped his feet angrily and scolded the thief for being useless, but fortunately, Bai Wang on this side of the Yangtze River rushed up all the way, and the old man of Lu Daqi couldn't stop him at all.

Zuo Liangyu's third time in the Gao Dynasty was when he learned that the Tartars outside the pass raided the pass to besiege the capital, but the result was that he was chased all the way to Qingzhou by the officers and soldiers and then chased back to the outside of the pass, and the soldiers were defeated again and again. At this time, Zuo Liangyu finally captured a particularly weighty information, behind all the battles there was the shadow of the eunuch in Dongchang.

When did a eunuch come out so powerful, Zuo Liangyu was even more shocked when he checked it, he was still a weak-crowned young man, not only fighting hard, but also cleaning up a group of courtiers and nobles.

At this time, he began to get nervous, but he thought about the continuous battles of the imperial court, which was the end of the strong crossbow, and now he was afraid that his legs were soft and his feet were weak, and it was difficult to make a difference, let alone clean up himself, I was afraid that even Bai Wang would not be able to clean up, so he would either send Nanjing's soldiers and horses to resist the enemy, or transfer himself to suppress the bandits.

I won't go, those soldiers and horses in Nanjing can fight a P battle, so the situation is still very variable. He moved the bench and prepared to watch a good show, when he suddenly received news that the little eunuch had personally gone south to supervise the lord, and had transferred the border army and the emperor's personal guards.

Is the imperial court crazy, and the border army can be transferred at will? The soldiers who defended the capital and the emperor were pulled out? There is also a supply of grain and grass, where does the money come from?

Zuo Liangyu was puzzled, he waited to see the joke, and wanted to see how divine the legendary little eunuch was, so he sent all kinds of people to keep an eye on the battle situation in the area of Nanzhili.

Then, as Chang Yu soared, Zuo Liangyu's mood became heavier and heavier.

How is this possible!

Lao Tzu didn't hurt Bai Wang for many years, why do you ...... Bai Wang on the dog day, did you release the water?

Anger to anger joke to joke, as Chang Yu's army advanced, the dark clouds in Zuo Liangyu's heart became thicker and thicker, which disrupted all his original plans, and he had to readjust all his deployments, because he had a hunch that as long as the little eunuch pulled out Bai Wang, the next target would be him.

Of course, Zuo Liangyu is still very confident, it is impossible for the little eunuch to do something to him immediately, because he is powerless, after all, he is not a god, and fighting a war requires not only soldiers but also food, grass, military salaries and military hearts, and these are all the shortcomings of the little eunuchs at this time, and the court will never allow them to go to war, so consumption will make others sit on the benefits of the fisherman.

But the eunuch is so strong, he will definitely put pressure on himself, and at least he will make a temptation, so Zuo Liangyu summoned his generals and made a special discussion on this.

As the chief soldier of a town, Zuo Liangyu's subordinates are also fierce generals, such as Ma Jinzhong, who was a thief in the early years, Wang Yuncheng, who is known as the king of iron horses, and Xu Yong, who took his sister Ranger Jianghu in the early years and later captured He Tengjiao with Zuo Mengeng, Hui Dengxiang, who was originally Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates who had just surrendered the year before last, and Daniel Zhang, who later became the savior of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and suppressed Wu Sangui by the Kangxi Emperor as the Marquis of Jing, as well as Lu Guangzu, Li Guoying, Zhang Yingxiang, Xu Ensheng, Hao Xiaozhong, Chang Deng, Wu Xueli, Zhang Yingyuan, Xu Yuxian and others,

Because of so many fierce generals under his hands, plus the two cities of Wuchang and Hanyang in his hands, this is Zuo Liangyu's confidence.

However, his most trusted general was Jin Shenghuan, so he was ordered to sit in Jiujiang to monitor Bai Wang while guarding the easternmost part of his sphere of influence, leaving him and Lu Daqi to contain each other.

However, Lu Daqi is more skilled, and Jin Shenghuan went to Xuzhou to suppress the bandits, and then it was used by Chang Yu.

Zuo Liangyu was also prepared for this, and was about to send a general to Jiujiang to take up the town, when suddenly a distinguished guest came to the door.

This wave of people went upriver by waterway, and when they were in Jiujiang, they were discovered by the waterway secret agents arranged by Zuo Liangyu, because their identity was unknown and they suffered a big loss and found nothing, they wanted to pretend to be water thieves to intercept and kill them, and there was news from above, don't act rashly, monitor along the way.

This surveillance arrived in Wuchang, and these people immediately showed their identities when they came ashore, and the fan of Dongchang came to visit Zuo Liangyu in the name of the governor.

The one who should have come will always come, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, because at this time, Zuo Liangyu's only officers and soldiers had already broken Anqing, and he still didn't know that Chizhou had been broken and Bai Wang had died in battle.

But he'll find out soon.

If an official Zuo Liang is not a bird, do you still remember the Xu Huai soldiers who prepared for the Tao He Tengjiao mentioned above, that is, He Tengjiao, who was in Xuzhou and Jin Shenghuan together to suppress bandits and quell the chaos and was quickly promoted to patrol Huguang, Huguang, originally referred to Hunan, Hubei, and Guangxi, Hainan, Guizhou and other places, to the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, only referring to Hunan and Hubei, but still in the name of Huguang.

It stands to reason that He Tengjiao also cares about Hubei's affairs, but Zuo Liangyu only let him cross the border and rushed to Changsha without staying or entertaining, and he didn't look at the governor at all, in addition to being a little confident at the time, it was also related to his arrogant temperament, Xiong Wencan and Yang Sichang were good enough back then, he didn't dick, let alone He Tengjiao.

But!

The dozen or so people in the East Factory were a little panicked, and hurriedly asked people to come into the yamen and greet them in person at the door of the lobby.

"In the Lower East Factory, I came to send a prayer post by the order of the Governor" Guo Ren put his hands on it, and his eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at a young man next to him, not much older than Chang Yu, and his eyes were very sharp.

Zuo Liangyubing didn't rush to open the post, but asked people with tea and a pleasant face: "Where is the governor, and how is the war?" ”

Guo Ren looked indifferent: "The whereabouts of the governor are uncertain, at this time or in De'an or in Jiujiang" Zuo Liangyu's brows tightened when he heard this, De'an, it is not enough......

"Seven days ago, Bai Wang was defeated and fled in Chizhou, five days ago, the Anqing thief army surrendered, three days ago Bai Wang was captured and killed in the mountains, on the day of the next day, Wangjiang and Pengze have been recovered, and the army of tens of thousands is advancing towards De'an, at this time...... or have gone down to the city".

Bai Wang has already been awarded! This news made Zuo Liangyu and the others stunned, and they couldn't say a word for a while. The young man next to him suddenly broke the silence: "Who led the troops to attack De'an, is it the Lord Overseer?" ”

Guo Ren glanced at him: "Xinle Hou Liu Wenbing and the chief soldier Liu Liangzuo still meet Wang Tizhong."

The scene suddenly became silent again.
