"Meier..."
"Miss, please take this detoxification pill quickly!"
Zuo Liangyu on the bed saw Zuo Xianmei bleeding, so she raised her head and spoke, but was interrupted by the other party's maid.
He looked at the pale Zuo Xianmei and felt a sense of guilt in his heart.
It turned out that Zuo Liangyu was eager to capture Shaanxi, suffered from lack of money, and was worried that Fan Yongdou, who had dealings with Dorgon, would take the opportunity to cause trouble, so he forcibly took wealthy people from Shanxi to Shaanxi in the name of sightseeing.
His original plan was to occupy Shaanxi and then let Shanxi's wealthy households move their property there, so that he could rely on Shaanxi's geographical location and Shanxi's wealthy households to stabilize Guanzhong, claim the throne as king, and wait for the time to move.
Unexpectedly, the cunning Fan Yongdou saw through his plan and went as a substitute. Later, he took advantage of the departure of Zhai Tang, Wang Dengku and other people at the helm to seize their assets.
Although Fan Yongdou took advantage of him at first, due to his indiscriminate attack, other families joined forces to fight back, thus triggering a business war storm in Shanxi.
Because Fan Yongdou had always been close to Zuo Liangyu, other families thought that Zuo Liangyu had secretly instructed him and moved closer to the court.
Zuo Liangyu saw that things were counterproductive, and the war in Shaanxi was unfavorable, so he hurriedly sent Zhai Tang and others back to Shanxi, which temporarily resolved the turmoil.
Unexpectedly, it calms down after one wave and rises again and again.
While the aftermath of the Shang War was still lingering, the plague broke out again in Shanxi, causing people to become homeless and flee to the capital, Hebei and other places.
Although Zuo Liangyu found out that this incident was done by a wealthy family in Shanxi to make up for their losses, he turned a blind eye and closed his eyes after they donated their money because he had already had bad relations with them before and because the war in Shaanxi still needed their support. Eyes, did not pay attention.
They just stepped up the war in Shaanxi and wanted to get rid of this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, God did not follow people's wishes. Although Zuo Liangyu invested a lot of money on the battlefield in Shaanxi, due to Gao Jie's constraints and the counterattack of the rebels, not only did he not achieve a decisive victory, but he fell into a deadlock.
Just when he was stuck in the mud and worried about money, Lu Jiude found him and took the initiative to give him 500,000 taels of gold.
Later, he said that as long as Zuo Liangyu agreed to the marriage between Zhu Yousong and Zuo Xianmei, he would give him another five million taels of gold.
Although Zuo Liangyu didn't believe that Zhu Yousong had that much gold, seeing that Lu Jiude had paid for 500,000 taels, he thought that even if the other party couldn't get 5 million taels of gold, he still had more than 500,000 taels of money left.
In addition, the war had reached its most critical moment and he had no money to spare, so he pretended to agree and planned to seize Shaanxi before paying attention to it.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jiude was also very cunning. Although he handed over the treasure map, he only gave the specific locations of two of them. As for the locations of other treasures, he euphemistically stated that he would wait until Zuo Xianmei and Zhu Yousong got married. We will inform you later.
In desperation, Zuo Liangyu had to send a message to Zuo Xianmei to go north, and at the same time secretly sent someone to investigate.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Liangyu's men took out 30,000 taels of gold from the Gold Hidden Cave, but were discovered by Gao Jie's people. Taking advantage of the large number of people, they occupied the Gold Hidden Cave and made a fortune.
Zuo Liangyu was furious when he learned about it, and immediately ordered Prime Minister Hui Deng to lead his troops south. While taking the opportunity to question Gao Jie, he secretly dug for another treasure.
Although he did not expect that Gao Jie would admit the matter, he also did not expect that the other party would take advantage of the confrontation between the two parties to snatch the treasure again.
Gao Jie's move completely angered Zuo Liangyu. Just when he was about to lead an army to teach Gao Jie a lesson, he received a secret letter from Xing.
In the letter, the Xing family claimed that the previous incidents were all done by rogue bandits and that they had no knowledge of it. They also expressed their willingness to fully assist Zuo Liangyu if he needed it.
Then he euphemistically stated that now that the national treasury is empty and a huge treasure cave suddenly appears in Henan, the source should be found out as soon as possible and reported to the court.
In the end, Mr. Xing bluntly stated that they had no intention of being in Shaanxi and had withdrawn all their troops. They only wanted a place to raise troops...
Zuo Liangyu also saw the threat in the letter, but he had always looked down on Gao Jie and other subordinate generals, let alone the Xing family who did not observe women's ethics.
Coupled with Zuo Mengeng's continuous payment, he originally wanted to invade the territory with a large army and eradicate Gao Jie so that he could concentrate on digging for treasures.
Unexpectedly, when he was reorganizing his army, a report of defeat suddenly came from the capital, which made him worried.
Soon afterwards, he received an imperial edict from Zhu Yuanzhang, asking him to explain the plague, otherwise he would lead his army.
At the same time, because word spread about Brother Li Wu's high-priced recruitment of soldiers, his soldiers fled one after another.
Amid internal and external troubles, Zuo Liangyu had no choice but to negotiate with Lu Jiude again and ask him to hand over some more gold-hiding caves.
Although Lu Jiude's attitude was very kind, he tactfully said that before he came, Zhu Yousong only told him the two gold-hiding caves, and suggested that the two sides wait until Zhu Yousong and Zuo Xianmei arrived before discussing.
Zuo Liangyu knew that many people around him had a close relationship with Zuo Xianmei, and they should already know about Xinzhou.
In addition, Zuo Xianmei has always disliked Zhu Yousong, so even if he urged her, Zuo Xianmei would not come.
But he knew he was in the wrong and was in urgent need of Lu Jiude's help. In desperation, he had no choice but to send someone to urge Zuo Xianmei on the grounds of illness.
He originally planned to put on a show so as to have an excuse to deal with Lu Jiude again, but what he didn't expect was that Zuo Xianmei actually came.
Zuo Liangyu was overjoyed. While telling Zuo Xianmei about the dilemma, he advised her to put the overall situation first, and invited Zhu Yousong to come for discussion.
He had not yet convinced Zuo Xianmei, but Zhu Yousong made another request, saying that he could only tell other treasure hiding locations after getting married.
Just when he was worried, Zuo Menggeng came to Xinzhou again to collect payment.
Seeing Zuo Mengeng's sudden return, Zuo Liangyu suspected that something had changed in Shaanxi. Under his questioning, Zuo Mengeng told the truth, half truthfully and half falsely.
It turned out that Zuo Mengeng was pursued by Gao Yigong not long after he withdrew from Xi'an.
Fortunately, he accidentally bumped into Wang Yuncheng and was able to defeat Gao Yigong.
Zuo Mengeng was frightened after this defeat.
He originally wanted to lead his army back, but he was worried that he would be punished by Zuo Liangyu for abandoning soldiers and horses from other places.
But when he was asked to lead troops in battle again, he had no confidence at all.
Just when he was in a dilemma, news came from the spy that it was not the rebels who had approached Xi'an before, but the troops of Li Ruolian and Du Yinxi.
Now Li Ruolian has not only regained Xi'an, but is also pursuing the rebels.
After Zuo Menggeng learned about this, he regretted it and immediately rushed to Xi'an with his entire army.
He never thought that before he arrived in Xi'an, he would be surrounded by Gao Yigong again.
Just when his troops were defeated, Li Ruolian and Du Yinxi suddenly led their troops out.
With the help of Li Ruolian, Zuo Mengeng was able to break out of the siege, but Du Yinxi, Wang Yuncheng and their army failed to escape.
Fortunately, Li Ruolian was brave and led his troops to fight outside, making Gao Yigong unable to attack with all his strength.
Du Yinxi, who was inside, had previously led this army to block Yuan Zongdi when he was in Mianchi. He was very familiar with many generals in the army and was quite comfortable in commanding, so he temporarily blocked Gao Yigong's offensive. .
However, although the army was not defeated, it was unable to evacuate the battlefield. In addition, the two armies were large in number and consumed a lot of money. Zuo Mengeng continued to pay...
Although Zuo Liangyu is not very smart, he is also a man who has been on the battlefield for a long time. When he listened to Zuo Menggeng's story, he knew that Li Ruolian and others were using his strength to support the army.
He thought that these days and nights of worrying were actually making wedding clothes for others, and he wished he could beat Zuo Mengeng to death right away.
But he thought that during the Xuzhou rebellion in the early years, his whole family had been killed, and now he only had Zuo Mengeng's flesh and blood. If Zuo Mengeng really made a mistake, then his Zuo family would be extinct.
Just at this moment, Zuo Yongmei came up to persuade him and gave him a cup of ginseng tea.
So he borrowed the donkey from the slope and drank ginseng tea while thinking about how to deal with the aftermath.
Just when he finished drinking tea and was about to give Zuo Mengeng a small punishment or a big punishment, he suddenly felt dizzy and then fell unconscious.
When he woke up again, he found Zuo Xianmei waiting beside him.
Although Zuo Liangyu was a little surprised, because he was concerned about the war, he wanted to support his sick body and help Zuo Menggeng deal with the aftermath, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even get out of the bedroom at this time.
