Chapter 034: Both in Distress

***

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong successively became kings in Xiangyang and Wuchang, and their military might was great, making the whole world tremble.

Looking at the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Shujiao died, Lu Xiangsheng died, Man Gui died, Cao Wenzhao died, Hong Chengchou was cleared, and Sun Chuanting was defeated in Jiaxian County last winter.

The remaining crooked melons and inferior dates such as Zuo Liangyu, Liu Liangzuo, and Liu Zeqing did not fight very well, and they did not lose to the rebels when they harmed the people. For a while, Chongzhen couldn't find a person who could be of great use.

In desperation, I can only pick up a tall one among the short ones, and I have to use Zuo Liangyu. Zuo Liangyu met with Li Zicheng in Zhuxian Town last year, was defeated, and retreated to Xiangyang.

Li Zicheng then attacked Xiangyang, Zuo Liangyu withdrew his troops to Wuchang, and asked the king of Chu for soldiers and food, but he did not get supplies, so he plundered Wuchang, including Caoliang and salt. After arriving in Jiujiang, he had 200,000 troops and waited and saw for self-protection.

Chongzhen has issued several edicts, so that Zuo Liangyu attacked Zhang Xianzhong, who was entrenched in Wuchang, Zuo Liangyu on the grounds of lack of salary, several times to shirk, but in the name of raising salaries in the name of the army in the counties around Jiujiang looting, so that the people were terrified, a few days to move, the past business travel was often looted.

The caravan of Ganzhou Rentong Merchant Line traveled to the place of Niutouchong in Pengze County, and Li Xiangjun's carriage followed the back of the caravan, she wore a square scarf on her head, dressed in a Confucian shirt, and dressed in men's clothes, like a scholar who traveled to study;

But if you take a closer look, the eyebrows are as thin as smoke willows, the eyebrows and eyes are looking forward to the autumn waves, pretty and shining, and the small lips are slightly upturned, showing a bit of playfulness, and it is clearly a lovely person.

She had already sent a letter to Qin Mu to inform her of the meeting in Ganzhou, and she was a little impulsive at the beginning, but now that she is halfway down, she doesn't know if Qin Mu has received her letter.

She was inevitably a little apprehensive, after thinking about it, it was always difficult to settle down, looking at the scenery outside the four windows, and unconsciously whispered: "If you want to cross the Huanhua Creek, the distant dream is light and weak"

"Don't worry, girl, Qin Gongzi has a deep love for the girl, and even the maid can hear the affection in this poem." Xing'er, who was in the same car, dressed up as a scholar, saw that her girl had something on her mind, so she persuaded her.

"This time we went to Huichang, and I couldn't give him a letter beforehand, I really don't know if he will look down on me because of this." Speaking of these, Li Xiangjun's face was inexplicably blushing, like Zhuo Wenjun running at night.

"No, no, don't worry, girl, Lord Qin is not that kind of person." Apricot patiently comforted her girl, but she wasn't comforting herself.

At this moment, the convoy suddenly stopped, and Li Xiangjun couldn't help but lift the curtain and ask the driver: "What's wrong, didn't you say that you want to rest in Pengze County?" How did it stop here? ”

"The villain doesn't know very well, the cars in front of him are all parked."

Without waiting for Li Xiangjun to ask again, there was a shout from the team leader Xu Shopkeeper in front of him: "Hurry up, hurry up!" Turn around, turn around! ”

The nearly half-mile-long convoy was turned around if it wanted to turn around, and the scene suddenly became chaotic, Li Xiangjun was shocked, knowing that the situation must be small, the caravan had hundreds of kung fu to guard, ordinary mountain bandits did not dare to fight the caravan idea, and what could make the shopkeeper Xu so anxious was only afraid that it was a large group of rebels.

Could it be that Zhang Xianzhong called?

It was not Zhang Xianzhong's rebels who came, but three or four hundred Ming troops dressed in tatters, most of them on foot, a few on horseback, setting off a large area of yellow dust, and surrounded the convoy with shouting and drinking.

This team of people and bandits are unusual, unusually unusual, after surrounding, they can't help but stab the oilcloth on the car with a knife, and they cheer when they see that there is value, and they immediately face each other with knives and guns when they encounter a slight obstruction, in addition to wearing the uniforms of the Ming army, their behavior is no different from that of robbers, and the whole convoy is in chaos for a while.

The shopkeeper Xu of the team leader looked at a leading general, and hurriedly went up to laugh and said: "General, the villain is the shopkeeper of the Ganzhou Rentong firm. ”

Shopkeeper Xu said and took out a few silver tickets from his cuffs, and before he could send them, the general with a pair of triangular eyes snatched the silver tickets, and then kicked the shopkeeper Xu to the ground: "Where is so much nonsense, I will be ordered by my prince Shaobao to raise grain and grass for the army, so that I can send troops to exterminate the Wuchang traitors as soon as possible, and these goods are exactly what my army needs, I will accept it, and those who know each other will get out quickly, otherwise they will be guilty of traitors, get out!" ”

"General! Ah" The shopkeeper Xu shouted, and then he was whipped, and his face suddenly became fleshy.

There were also more than 200 people in the caravan, and 100 of them were not bad in martial arts, and when they saw that the officers and soldiers were arrogant like bandits, they all glared angrily, but the shopkeeper Xu did not speak, and they did not dare to use force without authorization.

At this time, Li Xiangjun's car curtain was torn off suddenly, and a thief-eyed ruffian probe came in to take a look, and immediately laughed lewdly, although Li Xiangjun was wearing men's clothes, but her eyebrows were picturesque, and her skin was like condensed, in this extremely male Ming Dynasty, even if she was really a man, it was enough to make these soldiers salivate, not to mention that as long as she was not blind, it was not difficult to see that she was a female.

"What are you doing? Are you still the army of the imperial court? Li Xiangjun was shocked and angry, and said coquettishly.

"What happened to the imperial army? The army of the imperial court is also a human being, and they also have to eat and be happy, this world is chaotic, aren't you afraid of a beauty like you when you go out, don't worry, don't be afraid in the future, I will protect you. The thief-eyed ruffian reached out and pinched Li Xiangjun's pretty face.

Li Xiangjun has a strong temperament, how can he be so insulted, she has a pair of scissors hidden under her hand, and suddenly stabbed out at this time, the soldier was unexpected, his hand was pierced, and the blood flowed like an infusion, so painful that he screamed and retreated.

The movement here attracted the attention of the leading general, who rode over and asked, "What's the matter?" Who else dares to resist? ”

"General Yan, there is a girl here, the villain was going to let her wait for the general, I don't want this girl to suddenly stab the villain"

"Get out!" The general surnamed Yan Pegasus arrived, shouted, and when he looked into the car, his eyes instantly shone brightly, and his eyes could no longer be separated from Li Xiangjun's pretty face, "Girl, what is your surname, what is your name, tell this army quickly, you can rest assured, there is a general, no one dares to bully you anymore." ”

When she first encountered an accident, Li Xiangjun, a weak woman, was inevitably a little flustered, but when she was in Meixianglou, she saw most of the ministers and dignitaries, and she passed through many scenes, so she could quickly adjust her emotions, she settled down and said: "Thank you for the general's love, but I don't know the general's respect yet." ”

"The general's surname is Yan Mingmao, and he is the general under the crown prince Shaobao, what do you call the beauty?" The self-proclaimed Yan Mao's general's eyes burned, as if he was peeling off Li Xiangjun's clothes layer by layer.

Li Xiangjun met him like this, he knew in his heart that it was difficult to escape from the clutches of this person, after the crown prince Shaobao Zuo Liangyu was defeated by Li Zicheng, he retreated from Xiangyang to Wuchang, and then retreated from Wuchang to Jiujiang.

Now that she has encountered Zuo Liangyu's chaotic army, her mind has changed sharply, although she is reluctant to mention Hou Fangyu, but now she is in a desperate situation, and in order to get out, she has to be flexible.

"It turned out to be General Yan under the seat of the crown prince Shaobao, the little girl often heard Hou Fangyu Hou Gongzi mention General Yan's name in Nanjing, saying that General Yan was brave and good at fighting, and repeatedly performed miraculous feats, which is really a rare talent of generals in my Ming Dynasty, Hou Fangyu is the son of Hou Sui Hou Shangshu, and he still respects the general in every way, and the little woman is fortunate to meet General Yan this time, it is really a great honor."

Zuo Liangyu used to be Hou Sui's subordinate, and he was appreciated and supported by Hou Sui, so he is today. Last year, Li Zicheng swept the Central Plains and joined forces to besiege Kaifeng. The only thing the court could count on was Zuo Liangyu, but because Zuo Liangyu was unruly and unrestrained. Emperor Chongzhen had to pardon Hou Sui and release him from prison, and as a squire of the military department, he replaced the military affairs of Ding Qirui, the governor of Baoding, and other seven towns, in order to relieve the siege of Feng. Because there was no countermeasure to relieve the siege of Kaifeng, Hou Sui hesitated and faced Kaifeng across the river. Soon, Li Zicheng led the Yellow River to flood Kaifeng, and Kaifeng fell. Hou Sui was once again dismissed and imprisoned.

This "private relationship" between Zuo Liangyu and Hou Sui is known to the world, and after Li Xiangjun heard that Yan Mao was Zuo Liangyu's subordinate, he moved Hou Sui out in the hope that he would have scruples.

Who knew that Yan Mao was obsessed with her beauty and didn't care about it at all, he stepped forward and grabbed her with a lewd smile, and said hehe: "Since the beauty heard about my general's name, it would be better, and when we achieved good things, we will talk to Hou Sui again." ”

"Don't come here, if you come again, I'll die in front of you." Li Xiangjun pressed scissors against his throat, with a resolute expression, in a hurry, Li Xiangjun had no other choice but to do so.

"Don't don't, girl, why bother, you are such a beautiful woman, isn't it a tyrannical thing to die like this, put down the scissors, put them down, let's talk slowly!"

The general surnamed Yan stopped, but his eyes did not leave Li Xiangjun, her pretty face and petite and delicate body aroused his infinite desire, and he hated to immediately press the beauty in front of him under him, where could she have any accidents.

At this moment, a sudden mutation arose, and a caravan guard who followed Li Xiangjun's car took advantage of the fascination of the surnamed Yan, and suddenly pounced, cuffed, and a dagger stabbed the throat of the surnamed Yan, the dagger had pierced the skin, and the red bloody armpit fell like beads.

"Get your men out at once, immediately! Otherwise, don't blame me for slashing your throat! The guard's face was fierce, roaring like thunder, and his subordinates continued to increase their strength, forcing the surnamed Yan to retreat step by step, and his face turned pale.

No one expected this sudden change, whether it was the soldiers brought by the surname Yan or the people and horses of the caravan, they couldn't help but exclaim, and the scene was chaotic.

***

In Ma Yongzhen's big tent outside Ganzhou, the wine and meat are fragrant, and the host and guest sit opposite each other, without the slightest sense of tension, but the atmosphere is also a little weird.

Qin Mu is a self-acquaintance, and he frequently toasted Ma Yongzhen, and he kept smiling with friends on his face, until he touched a young bean growing from his chin, and his smile suddenly condensed.

Oh, my God! The Ming Dynasty also has youth beans, not that there is no industrial pollution in ancient times, the air is very fresh, and you don't need to bring tissue to the toilet, anyway, you shouldn't grow green beans.

The generals in the tent had been guessing his intentions, and when they saw that his face was pale, they thought that he was going to get down to business, so they all stopped and looked at him.

"What do you see? Haven't you ever seen a youth bean? Qin Dazhi County found that his flaws were exposed under the eyes of everyone, and he couldn't help but be angry, and he scolded angrily, as if the people in the tent were all his minions.

Ma Liuliang couldn't bear it, "Bah! Huo Di stood up as soon as he lifted the table, drew a knife and pointed at Qin Mu and shouted: "Don't pretend to be garlic, don't explain your intentions, believe it or not, Lao Tzu slaughtered you with a knife!" ”

"For the sake of a youth bean, as for drawing a knife against each other?" Qin Mu smiled a little innocently, turned his head to Ma Yongzhen and said, "Ma Dangjia, just kidding, I hope our next conversation can be carried out in a relaxed atmosphere, but I hope that Ma Dangjia can let everyone in the account avoid it first, and there are some things I want to talk to Ma Dangjia alone." ”

"There is nothing to say to people, everyone in the account is Ma's brother in life and death, Lord Qin should directly explain his intentions." Ma Yongzhen replied indifferently.

"The horse is in charge, and the official is here to recruit An."

"Are you worthy? Get lost! Get out of here! Our general doesn't kill the envoy, but my Ma Liuliang has already seen that you are not pleasing to the eye, but it doesn't matter if you are an envoy or shit, you can kill it. Ma Liuliang's face was gloomy, and his murderous intent rose again.

Ma Yongzhen said in a cold voice: "Lord Qin can go back, my army will arrive tomorrow, and then we will be in Ganzhou City." ”

"If you give you another 20,000 troops, you won't be able to capture Ganzhou City." Qin Mu smiled coldly.

Ma Yongzhen Huo Ran got up, his eyes shooting at Qin Mu's face: "What if I kill Lord Qin first?" ”

The atmosphere in the tent took a sharp turn and fell to freezing point in an instant.

Ma Yongzhen can already be sure that everything in Ganzhou is planned by Qin Mu, so it can be supported, once Qin Mu dies, Ganzhou will not be difficult to break, it can be said that Qin Mu has become the biggest stumbling block for him to take Gannan.

Ma Yongzhen really had the intention of killing Qin Mu at this moment, and it was definitely not a lie, because he remembered the mistake Xiang Yu made at the Hongmen banquet back then.
