Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan
Chapter 386 Zuo Liangyu is destined to be the scapegoat
Zhu Youjian had long wanted to deal with a defeated general like Zuo Liangyu who relied on his own troops and only harmed the people. All he needed was an excuse.
Now that we have suffered a huge defeat, we have an excuse, and there are many crimes. He escaped from the battle, implicated friendly forces, and caused a rout of 300,000 elite troops, which was enough to behead their heads and confiscate their homes.
What's more, this great defeat requires a scapegoat. Logically speaking, Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three sides, should be the most suitable. But obviously the emperor has his own considerations. Sun Chuanting may still be in important positions, so Zuo Liangyu can only be used as the scapegoat.
Qin Liangyu invited Zuo Liangyu into the headquarters. He was only accompanied by a few personal guards, and the other personal guards stayed outside. It was the best opportunity to capture him, how could Qin Liangyu miss it.
Even if Zuo Liangyu and his hundreds of personal guards dared to resist arrest, she still dared to order the guards to shoot and kill them all. The emperor's royal military advisor Gu Junming was standing by to help her guard the formation.
After disarming and arresting hundreds of Zuo Liangyu's personal guards, and imprisoning them separately, Qin Liangyu went to the front in person, waiting to welcome the arrival of Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three sides.
Although Sun Chuanting suffered a huge defeat, Chief of Staff Gu Junming had already stated that the emperor had other appointments for Sun Chuanting and would not arrest him, but his demotion was certain.
This also shows that the emperor still has great trust in Sun Chuanting, and Sun Chuanting is still the governor of the three sides, and his official position is much higher than hers. She has to personally greet him in both emotions and reasons.
Of course, it was impossible for Sun Chuanting to seize the command power based on her official position as the governor of the three armies. She, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, was personally appointed by the emperor and no one could take it away.
It's not that Qin Liangyu is greedy for power, but that she doesn't want to live up to the emperor's trust and high hopes for her.
The emperor stated in the letter that the important task of defeating Wu Sangui and holding the defense line of Gu County would be hers.
Not long after, Sun Chuanting fled back in embarrassment under the protection of dozens of personal guards. Behind them, dust and smoke billowed, covering the sky. You didn't need to guess that Wu Sangui's army was coming.
"Get ready for battle, Wu Sangui is coming..." Sun Chuanting, who had disheveled hair, pale face and looked extremely embarrassed, panted and reminded Qin Liangyu.
"Don't worry, Governor Sun, I'm ready." Qin Liangyu replied with clasped fists, looking calm and composed.
The preparation site had been prepared a few days ago, with three elite musketeers in hand. They were defended by fortifications and had a large amount of artillery support. If they could not withstand the attack of Guan Ning's army, she did not have to wait for the emperor to convict her. Qin Liangyu would Apologize to death.
"General Red, the enemy cavalry is about to enter Area 6." A herald rushed over, raised his chest and raised his hands, saluted the Red Lady with a military salute, and reported loudly.
