Zuo Liangyu was considered one of the powerful warlords in the late Ming Dynasty. He occupied Wuchang and relied on the natural danger of the Yangtze River to have 200,000 troops. He waited for the time to move. Before Chang Yu made his debut, he had a wishful thinking and let the court and Li Chuang first. There was a big fight between Zhang Xianzhong and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so that he could reap the benefits. At this time, he had turned a deaf ear to the imperial edicts of the imperial court. He had his own Xiao Jiujiu.
It's just that God's calculations are not as good as those of man. Chang Yaojin came out halfway, and Chang Yu came out of the blue to cut through the mess with a sharp sword. It only took more than half a year to clean up the north smoothly. Although Li Chuang was not destroyed, Jinzhou was not recovered. , but they severely defeated those two families, and for a while they simply did not dare or have the ability to make trouble.
At this time, Zuo Liangyu secretly screamed, but he still didn't want to listen too much to the court's words, but he couldn't just ignore it like before, he had to show off.
So when Chang Yu was annihilating Baiwang's tribe, he said, "Go and kill Li Chuangju."
Although Zuo Liangyu didn't like this, he had no choice but to go behind Li Chuangju with his gun. It didn't matter whether he could get in or not. His attitude was important.
At that time, Chang Yu just wanted Zuo Liangyu's attitude. Although he also wanted to jump up and give him a shadowless kick, he was really powerless because of his unstoppable spirit when Bai Wang's tribe was just wiped out. Zuo Liangyu was frightened by his momentum. If he really did it, he really couldn't do it.
Zuo Liangyu didn't go in for several months, and Chang Yu didn't say anything. After all, it was all a temporary expedient. Zuo Liangyu pretended to be obedient because he was still waiting for the opportunity and didn't want the court to take advantage of him so early. As a target, Chang Yu did it because he didn't have the strength to kill him at the moment, and he wanted to deal with Li Zicheng first. Once Xi'an was captured, Zuo Liangyu would immediately wag his tail if he didn't beat him.
But Chongzhen has always been worried about this in his heart. Zhang Xianzhong is hateful, Li Zicheng hates it very much, but Zuo Liangyu, who supports his troops and respects himself, is even more hateful. He is just depriving the emperor of his salary but does not worry about the emperor, and still plots to become independent at the critical moment. , it’s not an exaggeration to say that such a person would have his skin cut off and cramped, and the last person who made Emperor Chongzhen hate him so much was Liu Zeqing, the commander-in-chief of Shandong.
Liu Zeqing resisted the decree at a critical moment, but Emperor Chongzhen felt a burning fire in his heart, but he did not dare to show it. He did not even dare to say a harsh word, let alone scold him, and even sent someone to give him money to comfort him. Qu.
Then, Liu Zeqing died in Anqing!
Then can Zuo Liangyu die in battle?
Outside the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Chongzhen looked sideways at Chang Yu: "What I want is an obedient Zuo Liangyu."
Be obedient or die. Since you can kill Liu Zeqing, you can kill Zuo Liangyu. No one knows Emperor Chongzhen better than Chang Yu.
"Maybe this time I can kill two birds with one stone, and even Zuo Liangyu has been taught a lesson!" Chang Yu also looked up at the sky and said lightly. Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed: "Tell me about it."
"The order was sent to Zuo Liangyu to attack Jingzhou and break the city within one month." Chang Yu took a deep breath, and Emperor Chongzhen frowned: "How can he be so obedient..."
"My lord, there is a way to make him obedient and eager to attack Jingzhou." Chang Yu smiled slightly, and just as he was about to continue, Emperor Chongzhen reacted: "Intruder! Tell him that the intruder was captured in the capital!"
Once news came out from the court that Li Zicheng had been captured, and Li Yan launched an attack on the Yellow River, Zuo Liangyu had no doubt that he would immediately send troops to attack Jingzhou, and he couldn't wait, and everyone knew the reason why Li Zicheng was captured. , its power will soon perish. Who will the court attack next? No matter who you beat, you have no chance to stand on your own. At this time, you have to show your performance quickly and strive for merit. It is in your best interest to win Jingzhou as soon as possible and work harder. Otherwise, you may not even be able to drink the soup in the end.
It no longer matters whether Li Zicheng can be caught at this time. As long as he cannot go back within a month or two, Xi'an will be in chaos, and the entire situation will be greatly changed because of his little butterfly wings, and Chang Yu will use this now Make a fuss about the time difference.
Dongchang's method of spreading the news was fast and accurate. In just half a day, the capital became a sensation. Li Chuang secretly entered the capital and was discovered by Dongchang fans. They pursued him for several days and captured him hundreds of miles outside the city. As for where they were captured, some say it was in Baoding City, some say Juyongguan, others say in Jinan...
This was definitely explosive news. Everyone was shocked that Li Zicheng was so bold and dared to sneak into the capital during the negotiation period, but they seemed to understand his thoughts. They wanted to find a place to slap the court in the face. After all, the eunuch of Dongchang had penetrated into the tiger's den before. Everyone knows about it and it is talked about by the people.
Li Zicheng must have wanted to retaliate this time, but he didn't expect that he would be defeated.
At this time, people at all levels in the capital suddenly realized. No wonder Dongchang mobilized so many yamen to search shops across the city a few days ago. At that time, they thought it was no small matter. It turned out to be to catch intruders. No wonder, no wonder.
The news was so real that it even alarmed the cabinet. Li Banghua and Wu Xuan came together to confront the emperor: "Your Majesty, you really captured that guy."
Emperor Chongzhen couldn't hide the joy on his face, and said vividly: "That's right, he is currently being held in Dongchang Prison, and Chang Yu is interrogating him personally..." The emperor admitted this in person, which instantly made the old man so excited that he almost lost his breath. For more than ten years, the Ming Dynasty has consumed countless food and salary and sacrificed many civil servants and military generals. It dragged the court into the quagmire and almost destroyed the country. Now this happiness has come suddenly... Li Banghua and Wu Xuan I was so excited that I lost my composure for a while. After all, once I capture this big thief, everything will be done with less effort. I even suggested that I don’t want to kill him first, but keep this guy for good use.
"How can Chang Yu not know that he is about to make a big fuss about this? Just wait and see. This matter is not urgent." Emperor Chongzhen was also overjoyed on the surface, but in his heart he was filled with emotion. How much would it be if he really captured him? OK!
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and by that night, the entire capital, both ordinary people and high officials, were talking about Li Zicheng's capture. This was no longer half-doubted when the news first came out, but now it has been confirmed by two big bosses in the cabinet. Yes, the credibility is perfect.
Li Chuang was actually caught. Some people laughed happily, while others raised their eyebrows and smiled bitterly.
The news was too fast and too true, and soon even Song Xiance knew about it. When he first heard it, he was expressionless and even deduced a hexagram. When he heard it again, his face was extremely solemn. He left the city before dark and went straight to the military camp to meet Liu Xiyao. .
Liu Xiyao's military camp has been under control these days, with no food and no news. When Song Xiance said that Li Zicheng had been captured, he collapsed on the ground: "Is this confirmed?"
"How to confirm?" Song Xiance looked at him like a fool.
Yes, how to confirm? Now that he is under surveillance, he cannot contact the agents in the city. Even if he contacts them, how can he confirm? Should he go to the prison in Dongchang?
"There are rumors in the city, and an official confirmed it from the cabinet. At this time, he is being held in the Dongchang Prison." Song Xiance sighed: "Even if I go to the Yamen to ask for an audience, I will be rejected by the eunuch. Right now..."
"Then based on what the military advisor has seen, is this true or false?" Liu Xiyao's face was filled with sadness and a hint of expectation. After all, Song Xiance was also a semi-immortal in the army.
"It is difficult to tell the truth from the false for a while, and the hexagram is also unclear. Even if King Chuang is not in the hands of the court, he will still be in danger." Song Xiance sighed three times in one sentence: "At this time, no matter whether King Chuang is captured or not, it will be very detrimental to us. The only remedy is to speed up the progress of negotiations..."
"But before I came, didn't the military advisor tell me that there would be no danger? King Chuang believed you and decided to take the risk. But now you say..." Liu Xiyao became anxious and began to accuse. Song Xiance understood his point. In his mood, he took a long breath: "The hexagrams are just like the weather. They change at any time. It will be sunny or rainy in unpredictable ways. Don't worry, King Chuang will not worry about your life!"
Hearing what he said, Liu Xiyao breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes suddenly shone: "Since King Chuang is not in danger of his life, it means that he was not caught, otherwise how could the court allow him to live?"
Song Xiance curled his lips: "Who said that if you are captured by the imperial court, you will definitely die. The imperial court wants to kill King Chuang, but it values the millions of forces behind him more. How can he kill him casually?"
"Master Military Advisor, you mean... King Chuang will surrender?" Liu Xiyao was very depressed, and Song Xiance snorted again: "What are we here for? We are here to negotiate peace, in other words, are we here to surrender? Well, why are you so entangled?"
Liu Xiyao smiled bitterly and scratched his head: "That's right, I just felt that I was caught and surrendered..."
"If you are caught and surrender, the court will naturally keep the price very low, very low..." Song Xiance exhaled: "Hurry up the negotiation progress, ask for the price and negotiate the price to test whether the court has really captured King Chuang."
