The Governor gives you a gold knife

(0873)

【Today's second update is delivered!】

Zuo Liangyu's body slowly tilted, but he refused to fall. Obviously, in the last remaining consciousness, the general officer with the most troops under his command was unwilling to accept it. He never expected that Zhang Zhun would actually kill him. He couldn't think of any reason Zhang Zhun had to kill him.

In fact, he had been careful to pay attention to his safety. He and Zhang Zhun kept at least 30 meters away to avoid being taken hostage by Zhang Zhun. Behind him, his guards and cavalry were on high alert. If an accident happened, they could come forward at any time and rob him back. However, no one expected that the Hu Ben Army would kill Zuo Liangyu with one shot.

"Bang!"

Finally, Zuo Liangyu's body fell off the horse's back and curled up on the ground, motionless.

Zuo Liangyu's subordinates were all frightened. They had never expected that the Hu Ben Army would actually kill Zuo Liangyu. They did not expect that Zuo Liangyu did not even have the ability to fight back. The gunshot just now, almost no one saw where it came from, nor did they see the white smoke produced after the musket fire, which made them even more terrified.

Hearing the gunshots, the Hu Ben Army cavalry immediately rushed forward. The total strength of the two cavalry battalions exceeded 3,000 people. As soon as they rushed forward, Zuo Liangyu's subordinates suddenly became arrogant. Although they were fierce and domineering when they arrived, they really did not dare to be arrogant in front of the Hu Ben Army. Others are the masters of the field fighting with the Tatar cavalry in Northern Zhili, and the Tatar cavalry are no opponents of others. What are they?

"roll!"

Zhang Zhun shouted loudly.

Zuo Liangyu's subordinates woke up like a dream and hurriedly turned around.

Zhang Zhun jumped off the horse, walked to Zuo Liangyu's body, and kicked him. He was sure that he was dead, so he nodded inadvertently. Zhang Zhun would not let him live one more day of life for such a disaster. If he lived one more day, at least a few thousand more people would die in the Central Plains.

Li Guo walked over in disbelief, looked at Zuo Liangyu's corpse on the ground, and then looked at Zhang Zhun, with a look of horror in his eyes. Everything in front of him was really beyond his expectations. Zhang Zhun actually killed Zuo Liangyu, the general who claimed to be the most powerful and powerful, just in one meeting. It was really shocking.

Zhang Zhun looked at Li Guo and didn't say anything.

Li Guo said bitterly in his tone: "Governor, what are the instructions?"

Zhang Zhun said expressionlessly: "Zuo Liangyu is dead. Your life should be a little better, right?"

Li Guo had a slightly bitter smile on his face and said unnaturally: "We are never afraid of Zuo Liangyu."

Zhang Zhun said casually: "Oh? Who are you afraid of?"

Li Guo lowered his head and said reluctantly: "The most difficult ones among the general officers are Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Zhao Guodong, Huang Degong, Wu Sangui and others."

Zhang Zhun said in surprise: "Wu Sangui is going to deal with you too?"

Li Guo lowered his head and said bitterly: "That's right, in Fengxiang Mansion, we were ambushed by Wu Sangui and lost a lot of people. Uncle Gao Yigong was almost captured by Wu Sangui. In addition to Wu Sangui, there was also Huang Degong, which was also difficult to deal with. The Shooting Tian was killed by him near Guyuan."

Zhang Zhun nodded thoughtfully and said nothing.

Sure enough, when all the fierce men in the imperial army were concentrated on the Central Plains front, the pressure on the Shaanxi uprising army was indeed very high. Especially the addition of the Liaodong Army made the Shaanxi uprising army realize the extremely serious danger. Otherwise, Li Zicheng would not have rushed to send Li Guo to instigate the Hu Ben Army to attack Luoyang.

After Li Guo left, Zhang Zhun was still pondering. He was thinking that if he attacked Luoyang and robbed King Fu's wealth, Emperor Chongzhen, who was furious, would definitely mobilize Wu Sangui, Huang Degong, Cao Wenzhao and others to attack him. I am afraid that there will be a good show when the time comes. When in Liaodong, everyone can sit down and drink and talk and laugh. Now, it is a true enemy.

There is no doubt that Wu Sangui, Huang Degong, Cao Wenzhao and others are already the last backbone of the court. If these people are gone, the court army will not be able to make trouble. It is conceivable that the future battlefield of the Central Plains will be quite fierce!

Zhang Zhun suddenly shouted: "Li Xin?"

Li Xin hurriedly replied: "Sir, I'm born late."

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "Zuo Liangyu is dead, what do you think?"

Li Xin hesitated for a moment before he said cautiously: "This man is robbing soldiers and robbing the people, and he deserves to die."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said casually: "Li Xin, are you a juren?"

Li Xin replied: "Yes."

Zhang Zhun asked again: "Is your hometown in Qi County?"

Li Xin replied: "Yes."

Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment and asked casually: "Do you know a woman named Hong Niangzi?"

Li Xin shook his head and said, "I don't know you."

Zhang Zhun said: "Then, the matter in Kaocheng County has been completed. Where are you going?"

Li Xin seemed a little confused. After thinking about it, he said embarrassingly: "I made the governor laugh. Wansheng has not yet planned it. Wansheng was originally planning to travel and wanted to expand his experiences, but the world is in chaos and it seems that he can't go anywhere. Wansheng probably can only go home."

Zhang Zhun said meaningfully: "You are a juren. If there is a magistrate who has no vacancies, you are also qualified to be a candidate. Kaocheng County just happens to be a magistrate. Are you interested?"

Li Xin thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I am not good at civil affairs after I was young."

Zhang Zhun said a little strangely: "You are not good at civil affairs, what are you good at?"

Li Xin's cheeks were slightly red and said a little embarrassedly: "I don't know if I don't know."

Zhang Zhun's eyes turned, suddenly came to see him, and said with a strange look: "How about you come and lead me?"

Li Xin was shocked, his face turned red, his hands shook, and he hurriedly said, "No, no, no, Governor, don't joke. Wansheng is just a scholar, how can he lead his troops?"

Zhang Zhun laughed, straightened his body, and said with a long smile: "Li Xin, you are wrong. Who said that a scholar cannot lead troops? Look at Yang Hao, Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi, Wang Huazhen, Yang He, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Sichang, and Chen Xinjia, who are not scholars? The ***s of the imperial army are all scholars!"

Li Xin murmured to himself: "There are different late births, different..."

Zhang Zhun shook his head gently, smiled, waved his hand and shouted, "Come on!"

Liu Mang came over and waited for instructions.

Zhang Zhun slowly ordered, "Leave a war horse for Mr. Li, and let's go!"

Li Xin subconsciously said, "I have money."

Zhang Zhun smiled slightly and said casually: "Since you have money, I'll save it."

He pulled out a sharp dagger from the edge of his saddle and sent it to Li Xin's hand. He said in a deep voice: "Li Xin, the world is chaotic, and when you are out, safety cannot be guaranteed. You can bring this dagger with self-defense. You may save your life in times of crisis. Take care!"

Li Xin held the sharp dagger and felt a little hot. If you want to take it, Zhang Zhun had already handed it to him. If you want to go ahead, he didn't want to deal with such a weapon. Besides, Zhang Zhun's identity was originally very afraid in Mingguo. As long as the adults in the government mentioned Zhang Zhun, they would grit their teeth. If he took his things, he didn't know what consequences would be. After hesitating for a moment, Li Xin stammered and said: "Sir, I..."

However, Zhang Zhun took the horse's belly and went there with a gust of wind.

Li Xin looked at the backs of Zhang Zhun and others, then looked at the dagger in his hand. After hesitating for a long time, he finally put the dagger away, then turned over and went slowly to the west. His hometown Qi County was just west of Kaocheng County, and he decided to go home.

...

Back at the county seat of Cao County, Zhang Zhun immediately established a temporary command center to prepare for a surprise attack on Luoyang.

The cake that fell from the sky was so tempting that he had to eat it as soon as possible. If the time passed, it might be too late. Let’s not talk about it for now, Li Zicheng has always been thinking about this King of Fu! If Li Zicheng gave Li Zicheng a blessing banquet, the Hu Ben Army would lose tens of millions of taels of silver.

"Da da da da!"

"Da da da da!"

"Da da da da!"

Shortly after Zhang Zhun returned to Cao County, the sound of horse hooves from the commanders spread out to the surroundings.

At present, in Zhang Zhun, there are a total of four cavalry battalions that can be mobilized, including the Lion Cavalry Battalion and the Bear Cavalry Battalion, which are already veterans, as well as the Diao Cavalry Battalion and the Eagle Cavalry Battalion. The total strength of these four battalions is about 6,000 people. Such forces are enough to break Luoyang and transport all of King Fu's assets to the riverside.

Originally, the Diaoqi Camp and the Yingqi Camp were both newly formed cavalry battalions. The training had not been completely finished and the combat effectiveness had not been fully formed. However, Zhang Zhun finally decided to pull them out. To be precise, this battle was not a cavalry battle, but an infantry used war horses to raid from a long distance. The only function of war horses was to quickly move the infantry to the city of Luoyang, and then quickly move back. The specific process of the battle had almost nothing to do with the cavalry.

From the map, starting from Cao County, passing Kaifeng, Zhengzhou, Zhongmu, Xingyang, Gongxian, Yanshi, and then to Luoyang, the route is quite clear. In the history of all dynasties, this route has been walked by the army many times, and you will not go wrong even if you close your eyes. The places where this route passes by are flat terrain, which is very conducive to the development of cavalry. At the same time, it is quite difficult for the enemy to set up ambush along the way.

In ancient times, there were Hulao Pass in the eastern part of Luoyang, and it was a bit difficult to enter Luoyang from the east. Lu Bu at that time blocked the attacks of all the heroes at Hulao Pass. However, with the development of the times, Hulao Pass has gradually been abandoned and lost its function. Except for Tongguan in the west, there is also a little pass, other passes have basically lost their function. Luoyang is like an unguarded classical beauty waiting for the Huben Army to favor.

Judging from the map, the distance from Cao County to Luoyang is really not far. It takes up to three days to fight all the way to Luoyang. If you march quickly, you can arrive in two days. This is definitely a fatal blow to the defenders of Luoyang. By the time they receive the information, the Hu Ben Army cavalry had already arrived.

According to the information currently available, there are not many imperial troops along this route. Most of the imperial troops were attracted to Shaanxi. In Henan, there are only two places, Kaifeng Prefecture and Luoyang Prefecture, and some troops are stationed. Kaifeng Prefecture does not need to be managed, just bypass it. The imperial troops in other places do not need to be managed.

When Zuo Liangyu was suddenly killed, Zhang Zhun believed that it would inevitably cause chaos within the court army. Zuo Liangyu had at least 70,000 or 80,000 troops under his command. Now that he was killed by himself, the other general officers would definitely try to divide Zuo Liangyu's troops. He attacked at this time, just taking advantage of a loophole.

There is a good time and place, but only one person is missing. This person is a person who is very familiar with the situation in Henan. After all, Luoyang is hundreds of miles away, and even Li Guo is not very clear about the specific situation. It is not that if there is no effective guide, there will be any accidents in this raid. However, if there is a good guide, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

"Find some capable guides."

Zhang Zhun ordered Wang Shide.

"clear!"

Wang Shide agreed to go.

Because the newly formed Diaoqi Camp and Eagle Cavalry Camp were both trained in Pingdu Prefecture, they received the order and rushed to Cao County. It took about three days on the way. After reaching Cao County, they had to prepare for attack, which would take at least five days. Therefore, Zhang Zhun gave the troops ten days to prepare. Ten days later, it was already early October.

According to Zhang Zhun's order, the Hu Ben Army implemented martial law in Cao County, and everyone was allowed to enter but not leave. It turned out that the Gangzi Camp, which was originally stationed in Yanzhou City, also quietly came to Cao County under the leadership of Wu Qingliang. Their main purpose was to prevent the imperial army from counterattacking after the Hu Ben Army attacked Luoyang.

King Fu is the richest vassal king in the world and the most eye-catching vassal king. If the Hu Ben Army confiscated King Fu's home, Chongzhen would definitely not be able to get out of power. It is conceivable that the imperial army would definitely counterattack against Shandong. In Northern Zhili, the imperial army did not have much power, so it could only counterattack from Henan to Shandong. The existence of the Gangzi Camp was to prevent the imperial army from frantically counterattacking.

Unfortunately, the familiar guide has never been found. Nowadays, ordinary people have never left the house and naturally cannot know the world. People who have a little knowledge of it have already made a fortune and cannot stay at home. Wang Shide searched for a few days and only found a few salt owls selling private salt, which can be considered familiar with the road.

"OK!"

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice.

Since you can't find a good guide, then use these salt owls.

Everything was ready. On the sixth day of the October 1st, Zhang Zhun led his army quietly from Cao County and rushed to Luoyang for a long distance.
Chapter completed!
