Ming Zuo

Chapter 371
Seeing his brothers die in grief and anger, Zhang Ke was furious.

After returning to the city, he directly took the knife and went straight to the commander's tent.

"Zhang Tao, dog thief, accept your life!"

Zhang Tao was being reprimanded by Sun Yuanhua, and when he saw Zhang Keda coming to kill him directly, the three spirits and seven spirits that were frightened immediately disappeared, and he even rolled and crawled without the courage of a general.

There was chaos in the handsome tent.

Sun Yuanhua was full of confusion, stopped in front of Zhang Keda and shouted, "Zongrong Zhang, what do you want to do?"

Zhang Keda's eyes were weeping with blood, and he pointed at Zhang Tao, who was hiding in the distance, shivering, and almost clenched his teeth.

"Sir, if Zhang Tao hadn't escaped from the battle, how could he have lost this battle? If Zhang Tao is not killed, it will be hard to comfort the military."

Sun Yuanhua was speechless.

Even as his cronies, Sun Yuanhua felt that Zhang Tao had gone too far this time.

I really want to behead Zhang Tao...

After such a hesitation, Zhang Tao actually slowed down and took a bite on the spot.

"This defeat is all because of you, Zhang Ke, who is arrogant and unfair, so why do you blame Lao Tzu?"

Zhang Keda couldn't believe that people could be so shameless.

"What did you say?"

Zhang Tao also worked hard in order to survive.

"You Zhang Keda didn't take our brothers from Liaodong as human beings. When we were setting up the formation, we got us to places where the artillery at the top of the city could not support us, and we didn't give us firearms. Poor brothers only have knives, guns, bows and arrows in their hands. , how do you fight the rebels' muskets and cannons?"

He was crawling and biting in a hurry, but Geng Zhongming and Chen Guangfu seized the opportunity without thinking about it.

"Hmph, Zhang Zongrong has looked down on us from Liaodong from the very beginning. The military pays will be deducted, and the brothers will beat and scold when they say it. Since ancient times, those who rule the army unfairly have never seen Zhang Zongrong like this. "

"Lord Zhongcheng, after our brothers returned to Dengzhou, which battle did not lead to the charge? But Zhang Keda was prejudiced, and he didn't see us as his own at all. Comparing hearts, which brother has no resentment?"

Zhang Keda was about to go crazy.

"You have the ambition of the wolf, but you stand on the top of the mountain with the court's salaries, and when you arrive in Shandong, you also disturb the place. How can you be credible?"

He was telling the truth.

The question of whether to listen to the announcement or not to listen to the tune in Dongjiang Town has a long history.After arriving in Dengzhou, the scourge of the place was indeed not light.

But the problem is that what Geng Zhongming, Zhang Tao, Chen Guangfu and others said is fine.

Zhang Keda did have a prejudice against the Liaodong soldiers and never concealed his discriminatory attitude.

Just because Zhang Keda is very clear, these Liaodong soldiers are not credible at all.He disapproved of Sun Yuanhua's introduction of Liaodong soldiers.

In the past, he was the chief soldier of Denglai. As the highest local military commander, Geng Zhongming, Zhang Tao and others could not raise their heads when facing him.

But this time is different.

Zhang Keda was defeated.

Most importantly, all his direct line troops were lost.

A general without an army is a hairless phoenix.

Geng Zhongming grasped this keenly and attacked on the spot.

"Okay, since President Zhang Rong can't believe me, what else is there to say? Lord Zhongcheng, to avoid suspicion, I have to retreat and wait to see President Zhang Rong quelling the rebellion and making meritorious deeds.

Zhang Tao and Chen Guangfu all said yes, showing a stubborn attitude.

Sun Yuanhua was immediately terrified.

Now that Zhang Keda has become a bare commander, how to guard Dengzhou depends on the soldiers of Geng Zhongming, Zhang Tao, and Chen Guangfu.

When Sun Yuanhua treated the rebels, he showed his naive side.But at this time, he knew how to use the old bureaucratic balance method.

He pondered for a while and made a decision.

"The matter has come to this point, defending the city is the most important thing. Dengzhou's elders are safe, and I have to ask three generals."

As soon as these words came out, all three of Geng Zhongming held their heads high, even more insufferable.

Zhang Ke's eyes were full of tears, and he couldn't understand why things had come to this point?
However, what Sun Yuanhua said next made him completely disheartened.

"Well... the boats in the water city can't be lost. In order to prevent the rebel army from grabbing the boat and fleeing, we also ask Zhang Zongrong to sit in the town, so as to be safe."

Zhang Keda, the chief soldier of Denglai, was dispatched by Sun Yuanhua.

"Dang..."

Zhang Keda was like a zombie, and he didn't know if he lost his sword, staggered out of the handsome tent, and didn't even look back.

This man is dead.

On the third day of junior high, in the tense confrontation, more than [-] soldiers suddenly appeared under the city of Dengzhou.

"We are from Zhang Tao and Zhang Zongrong, let us go into the city."

Zhang Tao leaned on the wall to identify and said, "Sir, it's my soldier."

Sun Yuanhua had no doubts about him, and was very happy.

"Returning in times of crisis shows loyalty. Quickly pick them up into the city and settle them properly."

Why don't you think about it, aren't the soldiers coming back at this time worthy of suspicion?

Using binoculars to observe those soldiers swaggering into the city gate, Zuo Menggeng was puzzled.

"My uncle, what are you going to do?"

He decided to ask Sun Yuanhua if he had the opportunity in the future.

Why did he make these decisions?
This is even more outrageous than Liu Zhi.

But seeing those soldiers entering the city, Zuo Menggeng knew that the destruction of Dengzhou City was not far away.

"Prepare your people, you have to make sure nothing goes wrong."

Zuo Fu is full of confidence.

"Don't worry, our goals will not go wrong."

That night, Geng Zhongming, Chen Guangfu and others, all wearing armor, went up to the city gate.Looking at the dark night outside the city, they knew that Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng must have arrived with their troops.

Geng Zhongming grinned and ordered, "Open the city gate."

Some soldiers listened and immediately followed suit.

The city gate, which should have been tightly closed, has now become a smooth road.

Geng Zhongming ordered again: "Light up, shout!"

This is the signal that Kong Youde made an appointment with him.

In an instant, the rows of torches at the top of Dengzhou City were lit.At the same time, thousands of soldiers shouted together.

After a short while, endless shouts of killing sounded in the darkness outside the city, and countless people rushed into the city gate.

In Dengzhou City, known as the tenth town of the Ming Dynasty, the rebels rushed in without wasting a single soldier, a single shot or a single bullet.

Sun Yuanhua did not rest, but sat at the table, contemplating writing the memorial.

Until this time, he was still confident in recruiting the rebels.In the memorial to the court, he still refused to mention the issue of suppressing the rebellion.

Suddenly, the light outside the window and the sound of shouts resounding through the night sky woke him up.

Sun Yuanhua was shocked, and hurriedly took his sword and walked into the hospital, only to see the fire at the top of the city in the distance, which had already turned half of the sky red.

Sun Yuanhua's thin body shook a few times, and suddenly he understood everything.

Now that Dengzhou City has been breached, it is meaningless to say anything.

Sun Yuanhua was full of despair, and he picked up the sword and wiped it on his neck.

"Master, no!"

Fortunately, the servant was beside him and hurried to stop him from committing suicide.

However, in Dengzhou City at this time, no one could stop the killing of the people.

After the rebels entered the city, they immediately smashed, smashed, looted and burned everywhere.Soon, the entire city turned into hell.

Although he was sent to Shuicheng, Zhang Keda still kept an eye on the situation in the city.

When he saw the fire in the city, Zhang Ke knew that the situation was over.

"Sun Yuanhua, how stupid you are!"

After weeping, Zhang Keda removed the talisman and flag, left the barracks alone, and disappeared into the trail.

He plans to go back to Jinan, and after finding his relatives, he will pass on what happened here.

Now all the attention of the rebels is on Dengzhou City. He is also a local native. If he really wants to escape, he will naturally not be discovered.

Zhang Keda has this confidence.

But today, he miscalculated.

"Zongrong Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time, why did you come and go in such a hurry?"

On the deserted road, Zhang Keda bumped into a group of people.

When he saw Zuo Menggeng's smiling face, he was in a trance and completely forgot his own situation.

"General Zuo, you... why are you here?"

Unlike Zhang Ke, who was desperate and embarrassed, Zuo Menggeng was leisurely and leisurely, as if he had come for an outing.

"How can I ignore such a big thing, little brother?"

Zhang Keda didn't think so much. Seeing Zuo Menggeng, he suddenly remembered the power of Dongchang Association, which gave him hope.

"General Zuo, hurry up, the rebels have already entered the city and are burning, killing and looting. I also ask General Zuo to help quickly."

Zuo Menggeng shook his head and told the truth.

"Little brother just came alone, and the army is still in Yimeng Mountain to suppress thieves. In the danger of Dengzhou, little brother can do nothing."

The hope that Zhang Keda had just surged up was dashed, and the whole person was paralyzed to the ground.

"That being the case, is General Zuo here to see my jokes in Dengzhou?"

Zuo Menggeng put away his smile and became much more serious.

"My little brother and Zhang Zongrong have fought side by side many times, and I know Zhang Zongrong's character and talents well. The general is really a talent in the city, and it is against the heavens to be harmed by the hands of the villain."

While speaking, Zuo Menggeng clapped his hands, and a thirty-something woman came out of the darkness beside him.Looking at Zhang Keda, I cried a lot.

"master……"
