Daming kill

Chapter 264 Stunned
On the evening of October 16th, 1643th year of Chongzhen (November 11th, 30 AD), Wuchang, General's Mansion of Pingzei.

Although the brazier was burning in the house, Zuo Liangyu still felt very cold, and he realized that it would be another cold winter.

But Zuo Liangyu is not afraid of the cold in his body, what he is afraid of is the coldness in his heart.

When the generals were summoned to report the emergency military situation not long after the end, his son led a group of generals to ridicule Li Ping's ignorance again. When it came to Yuezhou, which was under siege more than 300 miles away, he was full of enthusiasm. Full of schadenfreude.

Zuo Liangyu really wanted to scold them, but she held back after thinking about it.

He knows why they are like this.

Maybe only Li Ping's defeat will not show their incompetence, maybe only Li Ping's failure to get up can save their face.

Of course, Shi Ming's incident was also a stimulus.

Although Zuo Liangyu still can't figure out why Shi Ming, who has always been liked by Zuo Menggeng, would do that.

Shi Ming and his subordinates are not good people. How could it be more comfortable and unrestrained to seek refuge with civil servants than here, not to mention that the mountains there are not as big as their own. This is not a choice made by a general with a normal mind.

Of course, Zuo Liangyu is also aware that some of his actions may have stimulated Shi Ming, who is currently looking at the same thought in a very difficult way.But he felt that he was not too much, and was even quite gentle and tolerant.

And he also gave Shi Ming enough.

It can also be seen from the reactions of the generals that they also really do not understand Shi Ming, which is different from deliberately complimenting their father and son and mocking Li Ping.

Zuo Liangyu was very worried about Li Ping.

Of course, this is not to say that Zuo Liangyu hopes that Li Ping will be completely safe.

He just didn't want Li Pingjun to die.

Zuo Liangyu knew very well that once Li Ping's entire army was wiped out, Zhang Xianzhong's next target should be him.

Zuo Liangyu was never optimistic that Zhang Xianzhong would continue to go south.

What's more, according to the emergency notification they just received from Liu Hongqi (formerly a super-big local bandit in the Henan mountainous area) who arrived at the same time as the Yuezhou military situation, Tongguan was captured by Li Zicheng on the sixth day of October. Sun Chuanting died in battle. It's raining.

Zuo Liangyu knew very well what Sun Chuanting's death meant, and he was sure that Zhang Xianzhong knew what it meant.Once Zhang Xianzhong knew the news, it was even more impossible to run to the south where the miasma was.

But without Li Ping, how would he face Zhang Xianzhong.

From time to time, is it possible to count on a group of defeated generals who have been psychologically shadowed?
These bastards just saw the shadow of Zhang Xianzhong's army, and immediately gave up the Linxiang County that had just been occupied, and Puqi County gave up without even seeing the shadow of Zhang Xianzhong's army, completely fleeing.

In fact, Zuo Liangyu is much weaker than the original history.

From Guangji to Puqi, two consecutive defeats were never experienced by Zuo Liangyu in the original history. He on the above for comparison.

But Zuo Liangyu may be very conceited, but he is not stupid.

He is well aware of the huge psychological impact of the defeat in September on his army, especially the officers and soldiers, and he also recognizes the fact that Zhang Xianzhong's current strength has far surpassed him.

But his son apparently didn't realize this.

Not only did Zuo Menggeng not feel about Sun Chuanting's defeat, but he still had the old impression that Zhang Xianzhong was easy to deal with and nothing to worry about. Regarding the huge failure in Puqi, he simply thought that losing Jingzhou carelessly was no big deal.

This made Zuo Liangyu's heart full of worry and sadness.

He is old, and his son is still so useless, so what to do.

Of course, what happened to Shi Ming also exacerbated Zuo Liangyu's bad mood, which was a very bad omen.

After coughing several times suddenly and violently, the anxious Zuo Liangyu covered his mouth with a handkerchief to catch the coughed up phlegm, opened the handkerchief slightly in front of his eyes, glanced at the blood in the phlegm, then closed it gently, and then pretended to be natural Huang Shu smiled slightly at Huang Shu, who stopped talking abruptly, and motioned for him to continue.

At this time, Huang Shu, the military supervisor who was having a private conversation with him, was considered by Zuo Liangyu to be a rare and sensible person, and he was not stupid either.

Huang Shu not only realized the significant impact of Sun Chuanting's defeat, but also expressed deep concern for Li Ping and Yuezhou.

Although he was very dissatisfied with Li Ping, Huang Shu also did not want Li Ping to be defeated.

Moreover, Huang Shu also expressed great anger at what happened to Shi Ming, and once again stated that he would definitely contact his colleagues in the officialdom, so that Shi Ming would not get good results.

This gave Zuo Liangyu some comfort in his cold heart.

But this does not solve the fundamental problem. How should they face Zhang Xianzhong's 40 army?

When talking about this issue, Zuo Liangyu and Huang Shu could only look at each other speechlessly!
"The thieves almost broke the city when they first attacked Yuezhou the day before yesterday. Our spies saw it clearly from the boat. The city was full of flames and fighting everywhere. Hehe! Yuezhou can't hold it anymore, maybe it has fallen into the hands of the thieves now As soon as Zuo Menggeng returned to his house, he said excitedly to his wife, and then turned his head to ask for a drink from the maid Xueqing who was still in the house.

Zuo Menggeng's daughter-in-law Wang was a little dazed when she saw this, but she still nodded to the maid Xueqing who was looking at her for advice, and then frowned and said: "Although Li Ping is domineering, he is kind to me no matter what." Yes, and he has always been very filial to us, it is inappropriate for your husband to be so excited, it will chill the hearts of the generals."

The Wang family was aware of the previous situation in Yuezhou and Li Ping's situation. Song Baolai immediately notified Wuchang of the information obtained from the interrogation of the enemy prisoners, and requested Wuchang's support.

"I know, I know, I have always been very restrained in front of outsiders. I don't want to go back to my room and I don't want to hold back! I can't help but be happy. As long as I see Li Ping being unlucky, I will be happy." Zuo Menggeng Duplicity happy said.

Seeing this, Wang shook her head helplessly.

She knew that her father-in-law and his former soldier and later the commander-in-chief Fang Guoan had never been listened to by her husband.

My own husband knows best.

However, Wang did not complain about her husband or show excessive concern for Li Ping.

She knew that Li Ping and Fang Guoan were different after all.

But with so many things happening, especially since Li Ping is already flying solo, of course it is impossible for her to continue to bend her elbows, and continue to have great kindness towards Li Ping, who made her man and father-in-law more and more embarrassing. .

But she still remembers Li Ping's kindness to her, and she still has good feelings for her.

This is a very complex psychology that is hard to explain in a few words.

After thinking about it, Wang asked hesitantly: "The fall of Yuezhou seems irreversible, but Li Ping has [-] elite soldiers under his command, so it should be possible to escape!"

"Lonely in the wild, there is no strong city to rely on. There was a [-] army led by the leader of the thief who offered his loyalty to his relatives, and the back road was cut off. It is difficult to escape! This is the same as Li Ping's previous fight with conspiracy, tricks and luck. Those battles are completely different. But Li Ping is a cunning man, it is not impossible to get away, but there is probably nothing left!" Zuo Menggeng pouted his mouth and said.

At this time, the maid Xueqing took the wine and went back into the room to pour it for Zuo Menggeng. Wang's eyes lit up suddenly, and she said with a smile: "It would be best if this is the case, then it will be the time for your husband to show his benevolence."

"What? Ma'am, I know you've always liked Li Ping. But won't this cause trouble for us? That kid has a rebellious head, and he's not familiar with it." Zuo Menggeng was stunned holding his glass.

Wang said with a sly smile: "We marry Xueqing to him. In the past, Li Pingxin looked down on us Xueqing in arrogance, but at that time he had no choice, and he probably even wished for it.

This not only tied Li Ping, one of the rare members, to our chariot, but also showed outsiders our disregard for previous suspicions and our love for the old department, and also killed Li Ping's arrogance, so that he would never I don't have the heart to turn on my husband, so I can only obediently let us drive me, and at the same time, I have given my husband a bad breath. "

"Wonderful!" Zuo Menggeng couldn't help but yelled and drank the wine in his bosom, then looked up and down the maid Xueqing who was blushing and stunned beside her.

"Fall again!" Zuo Menggeng smiled wickedly, and then slapped the maid Xueqing's ass.

The maid Xueqing was taken aback, and her face became even redder.

She looked at Mrs. Wang with some uneasiness and awkwardness.

But Mrs. Wang just said cheerfully: "I know you have thought about it a long time ago, you little hoof, but you have long been unworthy of others, and now I am fulfilling you. Looking at your big ass, you will definitely give Li Ping a life." son."

"Mrs. Xie is perfect, Mrs. Xie is perfect." The maid Xue Qing became excited, and poured a third glass of wine for Zuo Menggeng who was drunk again.Then just after pouring the wine, she couldn't help covering her mouth and crying.

Zuo Menggeng was taken aback.

When he saw Wang Shi smiling and nodding to him, he laughed wildly, and then pulled Xueqing into his arms, touching and pinching her in a vengeful manner, and didn't stop until his wife's expression was a little sullen. Standing up, she hugged Mrs. Wang and said, "Madam, I am so happy for my husband today, we must be happy."

Everyone in the Zuo Mansion was in a mixed mood and couldn't sleep, and Yuan Jixian, who was still in Wuchang City, couldn't sleep either.

He sat alone in front of the window with a heavy heart, staring at the bright moonlight in a daze.

Although Yuan Jixian did not participate in Zuo Liangyu's emergency military affairs, he already knew all the news.

What happened to Shi Ming was actually Zhang Kuang who he sent to inform, and asked Zhang Kuang to pass the news to Yuezhou.

As for that Yang Ming, since he left the position of governor, he has been avoiding any interaction with him.He didn't care whether Yang Ming had passed on the news, he just wanted to do his part and add a piece of evidence.

It's just that these things seem to have become useless now, Yuan Jixian is full of bitterness.

But what was even more frightening was the news from the north. Yuan Jixian couldn't help crying when he thought of the fall of the Sun Dushi who he had always admired.

Then, he realized that the life of the person he admired and admired seemed to be in trouble, and his heart throbbed because of it.

In the pain, the sky began to gradually brighten.

An urgent sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded in the silent city, which made it particularly eye-catching.

Yuan Jixian's heart fell to the bottom in shock.

He didn't send the old servant to inquire about the news, and he didn't plan to go straight to the left mansion where the sound of horseshoes disappeared. He just sat quietly and took a sip of bitter tea.

Due to being in a good mood, Zuo Menggeng not only went crazy for half the night, but also acted exceptionally brave all the time, but because of this, he was exhausted like a dog and slept soundly and deeply.

It annoyed him when he was eagerly woken up early in the morning.

"What's so urgent that I don't even let me sleep?" Zuo Menggeng, who was under the blanket, shouted angrily outside the room.

"Master is anxious to call the young generals to discuss matters. He said that Li Ping, the commander-in-chief, defeated Zhang Xianzhong in Baishui, and returned to the army the day before yesterday to break the siege of Yuezhou, beheading the bandits and Hun Tianlong." The person who called and knocked on the door before The young manservant answered nervously at the door.

"What? Say it again." With an unimaginable shout, the door was opened at an incredible speed, and then Zuo Menggeng, who was naked without fear of the cold, slammed the door into a stunned young manservant The neckline was pulled up.

The frightened young manservant just wanted to answer, but his eyes involuntarily glanced at the promiscuous hostess who suddenly appeared at the door of the inner room with only a sheet covered in confusion, and then his nosebleeds flowed out.

When he was kicked down hard, the young male servant saw that his most familiar maid, Xue Qing, was also collapsed at the door of the small outer room opposite to the inner room.

When the news reached Huang Shu's residence, Huang Shu, who got up early and thought silently, was drinking tea.

Hearing the news, his eyes widened and he took a sip of tea, and then the teacup fell to the ground and shattered.

Yuan Jixian's teacup, who hadn't slept all this time, was also broken. Although he continued to sit peacefully, a smile appeared on his dark face.

In the city of Wuchang in the early morning of this day, countless teacups were broken, and the whole city soon became noisy and crowded with people, which is rare in the early morning.
