The more than a hundred knights following He Tengjiao were all grown-up men, neatly dressed and armored. The armor was not the common style of the Ming army, but plate armor made of large iron plates spliced together, and the surface was burned with fire to remove the luster. When more than a hundred knights gathered together, there was a roiling black, dark and dark, and a vague murderous aura emanating from them. It looked a little wrong. Is this really He Tengjiao's personal soldier? Why do you look like a victorious soldier coming down from the battlefield? Although they are not many in number, they are powerful and powerful, with an intimidating spirit...
Zuo Mengeng's fingers holding the handle of the knife turned white, but he did not say a word. The Zuo family's servants waiting in formation behind also held their breath. Looking at the scene in front of them, cold sweat broke out on everyone's forehead. They are all brave men who have fought with Zuo Liangyu for many years. Although they always lose the battle, they still have a keen eye. These knights brought by He Tengjiao can definitely fight!
Seeing the knight in front getting closer and closer, Zuo Mengeng wanted to raise his hand and order a battle! His trusted generals and servants all had their hands on their swords, waiting for the order from their master Huo Bin!
Only Huang Shu seemed relatively calm, and just said in a low voice: "My lord, He Tengjiao doesn't seem to have all the men and horses. There are only more than 2,000 cavalry and infantry following him. How can these people be the opponent of our tens of thousands of troops here?"
Of course Zuo Mengeng could see how many people He Tengjiao had brought. In addition to these more than a hundred terrifying cavalry, there were also about two thousand infantry, all of which were a mixture of spearmen and firecrackers. Half of them are wearing the same fine armor as the cavalry - I don’t know where they got it from? It must have cost a lot of money, right? Is this He Tengjiao so good at scraping the ground?
While questions were emerging in his head, there was another voice shouting: "No! No! Enter Jiangling City quickly and close the city to defend it. There must be something wrong with He Tengjiao!"
But before he could actually shout out the order, the cavalry and infantry led by He Tengjiao came to a screeching halt and stopped advancing.
More than a hundred of the cavalrymen had already crossed the Yangtze River, while the two thousand infantrymen had stopped on the pontoon bridge.
Seeing this scene, Zuo Mengeng breathed a sigh of relief. If He Tengjiao really wanted to fight, he would not put his infantry on the pontoon. Such a long list cannot be arranged, so where is the formation for fighting?
He Tengjiao had already galvanized his horse forward, and when he was about ten steps away from Zuo Mengeng, he had already neatly turned over and dismounted, and cried loudly towards Zuo Mengeng: "Zuo Hou, Zuo Hou, why did you leave like this? ? I still want to work with you to clear the emperor's side, be diligent to the king, eliminate traitors, defeat thieves and destroy captives, and achieve great achievements. Why do you just pass away? Wow wow wow, this is really like dying before starting a battle, which makes heroes cry. Full collar..."
He Tengjiao's yelling and crying made Zuo Mengeng completely relieved - "Be honest with the emperor, be diligent about the emperor, and eliminate the traitors" These words were all directed at Zhu Cihong! If He Tengjiao was loyal to Zhu Cihong, why would he say such nonsense?
Thinking of this, Zuo Mengeng finally burst into tears with relief.
"My dear nephew, my dear nephew...you have to show your condolences and obey me. Let's do the unfinished business of our father together! We must clean up the world and restore a bright future to the world!"
He Tengjiao said inspiring words, and people had already arrived in front of Zuo Mengeng. Zuo Mengeng, who had been stuck in his own thoughts, was finally awakened and quickly bowed respectfully to He Tengjiao: "I respectfully welcome you, Mr. Futai."
He Tengjiao stretched out his hand to help Zuo Mengeng, letting him straighten up. Then he took Zuo Mengeng's hand and nodded repeatedly: "What a good man! Zuo Hou has a son like you, so he should be able to rest in peace... ....By the way, how is King Chu doing these days?"
"Okay." Zuo Mengeng nodded, "Although the prince is young, he is very eager to learn, cautious and polite. He can be said to be a role model for the vassal prince."
What a shame to say this! Zhu Cizhao is not easy to learn at all, she is extremely lustful! Spend the whole day with Zuo Mengmei and Niwai Zuo. And he was not cautious, he clamored every day to clear the emperor, and he didn't even look at what kind of vicious person his brother Zhu Cixiang was!
However, it is precisely because of Zhu Cizhao's performance that Zuo Menggeng is very relieved about him and Zuo Mengmei - as long as they don't know that they are planning to defect to Li Zicheng, they will not embarrass themselves...
"Great!" He Tengjiao nodded and suddenly lowered his voice, "To be honest, I have brought you a secret order from King Qin Qing!"
What? Zuo Mengeng was stunned. Is there another secret purpose? Last time, Huang Shu brought a copy of the clothing and belt edict to deceive his father, and by the way, he also deceived himself. Now you say you have a secret edict, is it true?
"Futai, this secret edict is..." Zuo Mengeng asked, "Who is it for?"
"It's for you and the young prince," He Tengjiao didn't hide anything, and said with a sad look on his face, "The prince is holding the emperor hostage and bullying the people. The emperor has long been angry and resentful. The emperor thinks that he is the eldest son of the emperor and is unwilling to abolish him. So I just endured it, hoping to wait for the prince to repent. But I didn't want the prince to be stubborn, and he went even harder and forced the palace to seek the throne. Before this expedition, the emperor was forced to issue an imperial edict, setting a date for abdication and internal meditation... ...How can any loyal minister in the world tolerate such treacherous ministers and traitors?"
"This..." Zuo Mengeng's heartbeat accelerated when he heard this, "Futai, do you want to raise your troops to serve the king?"
"I'm not the only one." He Tengjiao said, "The emperor has issued a secret edict, appointing the King of Chu to be the general marshal of the world's troops. He also appointed his own officers, Huang Zongrong of Huaibei, Gao Zongrong of Xuhai, Gao Ziyou (Gao Hongtu) of Shandong, Zuo Zhong and (Zuo Maodi), Lu Fan, and you, Major General, will raise troops together to serve the king, attack the traitors, and bring order to the chaos!"
The Ming Dynasty is over!
Zuo Mengeng thought to himself: The Ming Dynasty is already in this state, and you fools, treacherous ministers, and rebellious sons are still fighting fiercely. What hope is there? Fortunately, I have defected to Dashun, and now I am the founding hero of Dashun, and I will no longer follow the same path as you treacherous sycophants.
Thinking of this, Zuo Mengeng was ready to trick He Tengjiao into entering the city. He had 10,000 elite soldiers ambushed inside the south gate of Jiangling. As long as He Tengjiao was willing to enter the city, he was not afraid of how powerful his servants were - the elite soldiers in the city all occupied the advantageous location, condescending, and fired random arrows. The cannons that are beating you in, no matter how powerful you are, you will still be dead!
"Futai," Zuo Mengeng said, "The prince is in the city... How about we go into the city together and declare the decree in front of the prince?"
"Okay!" He Tengjiao nodded, then pretended to reach out and touch the inside of the sleeve of the python robe, and then he said, "Where is the secret? Nephew Zuo, have you taken it?"
What? Lost the secret edict?
Zuo Mengeng and Huang Shu who were following him couldn't believe their ears. What a secret order! What an important thing you have lost... Daming depends on you? It’s really hopeless!
At this time, He Tengjiao suddenly pressed his forehead, "Ah, ah, what an old fool. The secret is not with me... I'll come as soon as I can!"
After saying this, He Tengjiao turned around, picked up his official robe, and ran towards the pontoon at a trot. The armored knights behind him also led their horses and followed him away, leaving Zuo Mengeng, Huang Shu and others stunned.
What is this thing called?
When Zuo Mengeng was in a daze, someone suddenly shouted: "Major General, this is bad!"
Oh no? What's wrong? Zuo Mengeng looked around, then cast his gaze forward, suddenly covered in white hair and sweat.
It turned out that the more than two thousand infantrymen who had stopped on the pontoon just now, while He Tengjiao and Zuo Mengeng were talking, suddenly started quietly and slipped out of the pontoon onto the Yangtze River embankment. Now they are forming formation!
"Major General, let's go quickly! He is not a good person!" One of Zuo Mengeng's confidants was already pulling him away.
Zuo Mengeng was not very smart, but he still had courage. He was not afraid of He Tengjiao, a scholar at all. He shook the man hard and said loudly: "What are you afraid of? Aren't there just two thousand people?"
The man shouted urgently, "Major General, they are lighting the match! If you don't run away, you will die..."
Light the matchstick...I'm going to shoot everyone! This He Tengjiao is so vicious!
