Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 349 Thanks to Your Reminder

Although it is said that the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die!

However, Zuo Liangyu is not such a person!

If the king wants the subject to die, the subject will turn against his mother!
After Zuo Liangyu figured out his situation, he immediately ordered one after another:

First, the entire army is on alert, and soldiers in the army are not allowed to walk around or chat casually, so as to prevent the things on the notice from spreading more widely.

Second, immediately send out Yebushuo to spy on the movements of Sun Chuanting's men and horses;
Third, Zuo Liangyu secretly told Li Guoying what Li Guoying was going to do without telling anyone.

Fourth, after Li Guoying left and Zuo Liangyu felt a little more at ease, he immediately sent his cronies to Xiangyang to try to form an alliance with Li Zicheng to jointly fight against the imperial court.Anyway, now that the imperial court has issued an order to kill him, he can no longer continue to grow under the cover of the imperial court.

The situation in Nanyang suddenly became tense.

From time to time, fast horses were ordered to gallop out, and often fast horses galloped back.

Earlier, many of Zuo Liangyu's subordinates had obtained the notice. Even if Zuo Liangyu confiscated it in time and prohibited discussion, it still couldn't stop Youyou's mouth.

As time went by, more and more people naturally knew the content of the announcement: they had been regarded as rebels by the court, officers below Zuo Liangyu were not pardoned, and ordinary soldiers were allowed to perform crimes and make meritorious deeds. Officer apologise!
For some reason, the number of people violating military regulations in Zuo Liangyu's army gradually increased.

Although the military discipline in Zuo Liangyu's army is very poor, this time the violation of military discipline is a bit special.

As the only son of Zuo Liangyu, Zuo Menggeng was given the right to supervise in the army.

No, in an extraordinary period, he personally led his personal guards to inspect the barracks.

There was a sound coming from a corner, and unscrupulous laughter from time to time, which immediately attracted Zuo Menggeng's attention.

There has been a military order before, no loud chatting!

Therefore, Zuo Menggeng's personal guard immediately heard the sound, and immediately reprimanded: "Which team are you from? Why are you hiding here to chat? Don't you know the military order?"

"What's wrong with chatting? I used to chat every day!"

"Bold, where's your general flag? Tell your general flag to come over!"

"I am the general flag, I can't talk for a while, this general flag, I quit!"

"..."

At the beginning, Zuo Menggeng didn't take it seriously, disobeying the general military order and taking the official position would be a heavy punishment.

After all, Zuo Liangyu's army has a lot of bad tempered people like this.

However, in the end, Zuo Menggeng felt something was wrong!
Because what he heard, some heard it with his own ears, and some his subordinates reported it, it is obviously wrong to sum it up to him!

"What's wrong with me urinating in the corner, this is also a violation of military discipline, this officer, I quit!"

"What's wrong with me beating my soldiers? Just such a small movement is considered a violation of military regulations. This officer, I quit!"

"It's so hot, why don't I wear it, it's against military regulations, this officer, I quit!"

"..."

In the barracks these days, some minor violations of military regulations have a common feature.

Those who take the lead in violating military discipline are usually military officers, and all of them are irritable, and they will definitely throw out a sentence in the end: This officer, I quit!
No matter how stupid Zuo Menggeng was, he still thought of the contents of the court notice: Officers are not pardoned, but ordinary soldiers can perform crimes and make meritorious service.

Knowing that something was wrong, he hurriedly reported the matter to his father.

The unstable morale of the army was originally expected by Zuo Liangyu.He knew very well in his heart that if he hadn't taken control immediately and didn't give his subordinates a chance to escape, maybe a lot of them would have escaped by now.

Although there are hundreds of thousands of people under his command, he knows exactly how many elites there are and what kind of battles they can fight.

Sun Chuanting's prestige is there. The most important thing is that last year, the imperial court actually won 10,000+ Jianlu, which was the biggest shock to his subordinates.

His army is picky and picky even when fighting thieves. If he goes to fight a powerful official army, he really has no confidence at all.

Therefore, even though Zuo Menggeng reported the situation to him, he had nothing to do. If the punishment was severe, many of his subordinates would probably flee.

Those sent out at night are not accepted, they are all servants of generals at all levels.But even so, there is no going back.I don't know if he died outside, or if he defected.

According to the report from Yeburei who came back, Sun Chuanting's men had already set off.From Henan Mansion to Kaifeng Mansion, that is, to the north of Nanyang, the court officers and soldiers lined up almost in a line and began to march south.

From the west to the east, there are Sun Yingyuan's Shangwan Jingying. This is the real elite, who participated in the Battle of Jizhou and won a strong army of 10,000+ Jianlu.

Then came the mixed army of Chen Yongfu and Gezuo's Fifth Battalion, divided into six groups of troops, supporting each other and heading south.

Zuo Liangyu and the Fifth Gezuo Battalion had fought against each other before. If they were facing each other alone, Zuo Liangyu would not be afraid to be honest, because he still had the possibility of winning.

However, that was the former Fifth Gezuo Battalion!After being recruited, the Gezuo Fifth Battalion has already been reorganized in Kaifeng, and many people have been eliminated, and the army has also replenished some armor and ordnance replaced by the Jingying and Yongwei Battalions. The combat power must be much stronger than before. .

If they face each other again, Zuo Liangyu will feel a little emboldened.

To the east, there are more than 1 Beijing battalions under Yuan Shizhong's command. They also participated in the Battle of Jizhou, and their weapons and armor are all excellent!
As for those under Governor Baoding's command, they have not received any news.However, with Sun Chuanting's current official title, he can control that side and can mobilize troops.I don't know if that old traitor Sun Chuanting will mobilize the troops over there to surround him together.

Looking at the news, Zuo Liangyu felt very bitter, because he knew that if he went north to face the battle, as long as he couldn't win with one blow, he would end up being surrounded and wiped out.

After weighing it in his heart, he discovered that there was no part that he could win with one blow!
Faced with the posture Sun Chuanting put on, Zuo Liangyu also understood very well that Sun Chuanting obviously wanted to drive him to the south, maybe he was paying attention to let him fight with Li Zicheng!
Although he had already sent someone to negotiate with Li Zicheng to see if there was a possibility of joining forces, Zuo Liangyu didn't know what to do.

Over the years, he and Li Zicheng have fought countless times, and both sides have killed many people from each other.

If Li Zicheng was a hero, he would let go of his previous grievances and join hands with him to deal with the powerful enemy of the imperial court, right?

When Zuo Liangyu thought about it, she was always uncertain!

Because he had fought against Li Zicheng for so many years, he knew this old opponent well.

To be honest, he really didn't think Li Zicheng was a real hero who could afford to let go!
Thinking about this, Zuo Liangyu felt that this idea was unreliable.Even if Li Zicheng really agreed to join forces with him, he was a little scared!

Not because of anything else, but because Li Zicheng wanted to kill Luo Rucai, his old friend for many years. If he joins forces with him, who knows if a teammate like this will stab him in the back!
But if you don't unite with Li Zicheng, the imperial army will never be able to beat it!

To be honest, Zuo Liangyu had a headache, and he was so annoyed that he didn't know how many beards he had pulled off.

He was in a bit of a dilemma as to whether Li Zicheng would agree to his joint proposal.

Time passed slowly, and the imperial army in the north was fighting steadily, pressing down like a mountain to the south, making Zuo Liangyu very anxious.

On this day, he didn't wait for the person sent to Li Zicheng to come back, but he waited for Li Guoying to come back.

"How is it? Are the arrangements in place?" Zuo Liangyu asked with anticipation immediately after hearing the report.

After hearing this, Li Guoying nodded immediately and said, "Marshal, everything has been arranged properly!"

When Zuo Liangyu heard this, he couldn't help but be filled with joy.

He knew that it would be safest to send Li Guoying to do this.There is no other reason, in his own army, it is Li Guoying who is the most daring and careful in order to do such things well.

Thinking of this, he felt a lot more relaxed, and immediately said to Li Guoying: "Okay, then wait and see how Li Zicheng responds!"

Zuo Liangyu first arranged for Li Guoying to do something, because this was the way he arranged for himself.For him, the so-called three caves of the cunning rabbit, this is the most important thing.Then, he sent someone to contact Li Zicheng, so Li Guoying didn't know about it.

At this time, Li Guoying listened, and naturally asked curiously: "What did Li Zicheng reply?"

After asking the words, he immediately came back to his senses, and immediately asked Zuo Liangyu: "The commander-in-chief wants to unite with Li Zicheng to fight against the imperial army?"

"En!" Zuo Liangyu nodded and responded immediately after hearing this, "Our military morale is unstable now, and we certainly cannot face the imperial court's offensive alone!"

When Li Guoying heard this, his face changed, and he shook his head immediately and said, "Marshal, you are so confused! You are wasting your time, this is simply impossible!"

Although Zuo Liangyu wondered whether Li Zicheng would agree, but when he heard this, he was still a little unconvinced and said, "Maybe Li Zicheng has the insight to know the principle of mutual benefit. Even if he doesn't know, His advisers, such as Song Xiance, Li Yan and others, should have recognized this clearly!"

"No!" Li Guoying couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, and immediately reminded: "Could it be that the commander-in-chief has forgotten, what excuse did Li Zicheng use to annex Luo Rucai?"

"..." Zuo Liangyu was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Of course he knew that Li Zicheng's excuse for killing Luo Rucai was that Luo Rucai colluded with him.In this way, in the blink of an eye, Li Zicheng is going to join forces with Zuo Liangyu again, what will Luo Rucai's subordinates think?
But the most important thing for Li Zicheng right now is to annex and digest Luo Rucai's subordinates. It is definitely impossible for him to unite with Zuo Liangyu!

It was a foolish moment to wait for such a long time for Li Zicheng's reply!
After thinking about this, Zuo Liangyu said decisively: "Thanks for your reminder!"
