Supervisor Yuan Jixian fell into sadness and did not speak for a long time, seeing Huang Shu repeatedly looking at his eyes for help, Xu Yong sighed, and could only choose to stand up, after all, he and Huang Shu were already allies.

"In my opinion, who is in command of this army, it is useless for a few of us to shout, we should listen to the imperial court, the imperial court decides, and acts in accordance with the imperial court system."

"Xu Yong, I have long seen you and this surnamed Huang hook your eyebrows, you really took refuge in the surname Huang and betrayed Hou Ye!" Li Guoying was furious and pointed at Xu Yong and said angrily.

"What betrayed Master Hou, don't spew blood from your surname Li! When did I, Xu Yong, do something sorry for Hou Ye? Xu Yong said angrily.

"Aren't you doing it now? Let the young marquis not support it, and lick the stinky feet surnamed Huang. Hao Xiaozhong said compassionately.

"You!" Xu Yong pointed at Hao Xiaozhong and was angry, and when he was about to scold, he was stopped by Wu Xiaoli.

"Brothers, there is no need for us to quarrel and hurt the harmony, now that Inspector Yuan is here, let's follow Inspector Yuan's arrangement." Wu Xiaoli said with a grin.

"Yes, we should listen to Yuan Shibo." Zuo Mengeng, who had been hanging his head and sobbing in a low voice, spoke, "Brothers, no matter how the imperial court arranges our army, I hope everyone will be calm, we will listen to the imperial court in everything, and I believe that the imperial court will give us a satisfactory reply." ”

Saying that, Zuo Mengeng looked at Yuan Jixian: "Yuan Shibo, you are the superintendent and represent the imperial court, what should we do now?" ”

In Zuo Mengeng's view, Yuan Jixian has a good relationship with his father Zuo Liangyu, and he has the support of the general soldiers.

Looking at Zuo Mengeng's expectant gaze, Yuan Jixian knew that he could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, this matter must have a result today, otherwise I am afraid that these 200,000 left troops will cause riots.

This army is basically the private soldiers of the Zuo family, and the orders to the imperial court have always been yin and yang, from the perspective of stabilizing the army's heart, Zuo Mengeng should be allowed to replace Zuo Liangyu to lead the army, after all, the enemy attack is imminent, and it must not cause army riots.

However, now Zuo Liangyu's sudden death is a godsend for the imperial court to control this army, over the years, Zuo Liangyu has relied on his troops and refused to obey the dispatch of the imperial court, and the imperial court has long wanted to take back his military power and send someone else to lead the army. But is it appropriate to do so now? After all, the thieves and the Mantars had already attacked Wuchang.

Just when Yuan Jixian was hesitating, Huang Shu spoke.

"Lord Yuan must think about it carefully, don't abolish the public because of private affairs!"

This sentence made Yuan Jixian's heart suddenly shocked, if he dared to hand over the military power to Zuo Mengeng today, I am afraid that this Huang Shu would immediately impeach himself, he is the supervisor of the military imperial history, although he is only a seven-rank civil official, but he has the right to play the game.

And once he loses the battle with the enemy, I am afraid that this Huang Shu will put all the blame on himself. Thinking about Chongzhen's ruthlessness to the supervising civil officials who led the troops, and thinking about the fate of Yuan Chonghuan, Yang Hao, Yang Yipeng, Yang Sichang and other supervising ministers, Yuan Jixian only felt shuddering.

"Zuo Gongzi is the son of the Marquis of Ningnan, and it is natural to inherit the title, as for whether this army is still inherited by Zuo Gongzi, it will have to wait until the imperial court decrees the official canonization. Until then, let's follow the customs of the imperial court. Yuan Jixian said.

According to the practice of the imperial court, when the commander of the first army died, the army should be handed over to the commander of the supervising army, waiting for the court to send a new commander. In other words, the 200,000 army in front of him can only be led by Huang Shu for the time being.

Although Li Guoying, Hao Xiaozhong and others had a dispute, Zuo Mengeng shook his head slowly, now that Zuo Liangyu's bones were not cold, he didn't want to make a fuss about this matter in front of his father's spirit. Besides, since Yuan Jixian has made a decision as a supervisor, it is useless to argue again.

As a result, Huang Shu triumphantly became the temporary commander of the 200,000 Left Army, although Li Guoying, Hao Xiaozhong and others did not listen to him, but at least he got the support of Xu Yong, Wu Xiaoli and others, and controlled nearly half of the army.

Next, as long as you can fight a good battle when the enemy attacks, you will have an infinitely bright future waiting for you.

Before Huang Shu could adapt to his new identity, in the drizzle, a huge army suddenly appeared in Jiangbei, only twenty miles away from Jiujiang. This army is not a thief, but a Qing army, I don't know how to let the thieves in Wuchang not fight, and appeared outside Jiujiang City!

Huang Shu immediately sent a message to the superintendent Yuan Jixian, and at the same time ordered the troops stationed in Jiangbei to prepare for the Manchu attack.

In the camp of the Jiangbei Left Army, Li Guoying, Hao Xiaozhong and others were plotting.

"The Qing army suddenly attacked here, presumably the thieves have been annihilated by the Qing army, what should we do?" Li Guoying said worriedly.

"Yes, even the thieves can't beat the Eight Banners, although there are many people in our army, most of them are old and weak soldiers, and there are not many real elite soldiers. If you really fight with the Eight Banners, you will definitely not be able to get a bargain. Hao Xiaozhong also said.

Everyone looked at each other, and they all saw the cowardice hidden in each other's eyes. Not only can't you get cheap, you definitely can't beat it. Over the years, when did the Ming army defeat the Eight Banners, the Guanning Army, the Xuanda Army, and the elite soldiers of the Nine Sides were all defeated in the hands of the Eight Banners, and countless famous generals died or surrendered, in the hearts of Li Guoying and Hao Xiaozhong, the Eight Banners were already an invincible existence.

"Otherwise, let's just vote for Daqing. Anyway, the imperial court doesn't trust us, Inspector Yuan actually let Huang Shu's scholar lead the troops, and he didn't want to hand over the military power to the young marquis, what is the use of us protecting him in such a Ming court? ”

Li Guoying cautiously proposed.

"Yes, we simply surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. I heard that the Qing Dynasty treats the generals very well, basically they are paid for their original positions, and many people have been reused, like Wu Sangui is just a Pingxi Bo, with only thirty or forty thousand troops in his hands, and he was named the king of Pingxi by the Qing Dynasty. ”

Hao Xiaozhong waved his fists and shouted in a low voice. Hearing this, even Zuo Menggeng's heart moved.

His own family knew his own situation, and although the army under his command in Jiangbei had more than 100,000 people and hundreds of large and small ships, if he fought against the Eight Banners, he might not last long. Zuo Mengeng himself is self-aware, if he talks about leading soldiers, he is not as good as his father.

And his father Zuo Liangyu didn't dare to fight against the thief, but the thief was chased around by the Eight Banners, and the strength of the two sides was obvious.

It seems that it is not difficult to decide whether to clear it or not.
