For several consecutive days, Zuo Liangyu received several military orders from Prime Minister Xiong Wencan of the six provinces every day, urging him to send troops to Fang County immediately to suppress the bandits and bandits in Zhang Xianzhong, Cao Cao and other troops.

In the city of Junzhou, Zuo Liangyu received another newly sent urging order and threw it aside without even looking at it.

"I'm urging and urging his grandmother to do my best." Zuo Liangyu cursed. "I only know that I'm just urging the troops to advance, but the military pay, food, supplies, and silver and pensions I want, are not even worth the military pay."

Zuo Liangyu now has nine thousand men, which is considered to be strong. However, with the title of a general officer of the aid and suppression, he is just a guest army. He was originally from the Guanning army, but later he was re-established. He then surrendered to Hou Xun, the governor of Changping, and was re-activated. Finally, he regained his title of general by desperately earning back.

Later, he was transferred from outside the pass to inside the pass, and then to the Central Plains. Since he was ordered to be transferred south to participate in the suppression of bandits in the fifth year of Chongzhen to the present, he has been suppressing bandits in the Central Plains for eight years. The countless bandits died under his command also won him the title of Grandpa Zuo among the bandits. However, after fighting, his career had almost no progress. Instead, he was impeached and punished several times. If he hadn't been able to fight, he would have been locked and imprisoned. Every time he made a merit and just received a reward, he would have been demoted again because of being impeached. I don't know how many times he had been promoted or lowered. In the end, his official position was on the spot. Ten years ago, the deputy general was still a general ten years later.

Speaking of Zhang Xianzhong, Zuo Liangyu looked down on this bandit at all. Although he was very famous among the bandits, Zhang Xianzhong was defeated by Zuo Liangyu several times. Last year, Zuo Liangyu was even shot in the shoulder with an arrow and then slashed Zuo Liangyu's face. The chopping made him bleeding and almost died.

At that time, Zhang Xianzhong had his subordinates rescued him to the death and fled into Gucheng, and had to ask for surrender to the court. Zuo Liangyu did not believe that Zhang Xianzhong would surrender. Zhang Xianzhong had surrendered more than once before. If the situation was not good, he would surrender, and he would rebel again as soon as he had a breather. Zuo Liangyu insisted on taking the opportunity to wipe out the Xian bandits, but Xiong Wencan insisted on pacifying him.

When he thought of this, Zuo Liangyu felt resentful.

Just last winter, a mutiny occurred in Xuzhou where Zuo Liangyu settled his family. His family was wiped out. Except for his son Zuo Menggeng who followed him in the army, Zuo Liangyu's wives, concubines and children did not escape this disaster.

Zuo Liangyu attributed all the hatred of the destruction of the mutiny family to the bandits. If these bandits had not been in trouble everywhere and the officials were busy encircling and suppressing them and were exhausted to respond to their duties, such mutiny would not have happened.

Zuo Liangyu also looked down on his superior Xiong Wencan from the bottom of his heart. He has followed many people, Yuan Chenghuan, Ma Shilong, Cao Wenzhao, Hou Xun, Sun Chengzong, Chen Qiyu, Lu Xiangsheng, Zhang Guowei and other many other bosses. Among them, the one he looked down on the most was Xiong Wencan. A greedy guy who knew nothing except blind command.

Before, Yiwei wanted to recruit Zhang Xianzhong, which gave Zhang Bids a chance to breathe. Then, when Zhang Bids rebel, he asked for the order to send troops to encircle and suppress the enemy, but Xiong Wencan deliberately delayed the time and refused to send troops, which gave Zhang Xianzhong the opportunity to reunite with Cao Cao. Now, when Xiong Wencan began to urge him to enter the enemy several times a day, but he refused to pull out any money and food.

"General, my subordinates heard that Xiong Wencan sent someone to urgently transfer Liu Jun to the north. It is said that he had sent 50,000 taels of silver to Liu Jun. He also promised that when Liu Jun led his troops to Xiangyang, he would be able to transfer another 50,000 to Liu Jun."

"Liu Jun, the lucky one who has left," Zuo Liangyu snorted coldly, his face very ugly.

"It's that guy, I don't know what luck he has left. He actually destroyed Lao Huihui's brothers, the first camp of Zuo, and the troops of the Tianbao camp."

Zuo Liangyu said disdainfully, "It's just a battalion of bandits. Even if it's destroyed, so what if it's destroyed? In recent years, we have suppressed bandits in the Central Plains. There are still 80,000 bandits under our command." Even though he said so, he was still full of jealousy. He had been killed for so many years and was still a general, or even a general who had no territory. And the still-funny Liu Jun was just a small martial artist and the county regiment training chief, but because he had only wiped out a group of bandits who were blind, he actually had to be named a guerrilla general by the emperor. Even Xiong Wencan's Xiongbao took out 50,000 taels of silver to send it to Xiong Wencan.

Damn, he asked Xiong Wencan for a few times, but he didn't even make a penny.

"I heard that Xiong Wencan wanted to organize Liu Jun's troops into his Prime Minister's Battalion, and even heard that Liu Jun was also asked to be his lower-level military officer and the lower-level guerrilla battalion officer."

Zuo Liangyu was thinking with a gloomy face, and suddenly felt a threat.

"Isn't that Liu Jun just a general manager before? How many soldiers can he have under his command?"

As soon as Xiong Wencan became the Prime Minister, he transferred his 6,000 soldiers to his bidding camp. Later, Zuo Liangyu drove Xiong Wencan's Guangdong soldiers back home. Later, the two of them clashed continuously, so he simply left. Since then, although Xiong Wencan later put together a battalion of model soldiers, it was just a mob. Because he had no soldiers, Zuo Liangyu could not buy Xiong Wencan's face at all, and Xiong Wencan had no choice but to do anything to him.

But now, looking at Xiong Wencan's meaning, this is to make trouble

"Sir, I heard that Liu Jun is constantly recruiting troops. I heard that he now has more than 6,000 troops from the War Assistant Battalions."

"Hmph, recruit some farmers to gather some people and want to fool someone"

"Sir, don't underestimate Liu Jun. It is said that his troops are equipped with many firearms, the most exquisite firearms. This person is not simple, and he is deeply appreciated by senior officials such as Li Changgeng and Mei Zhihuan in the East Hubei Province, and is very supportive. Moreover, he is also the nephew of Liu Qiao, the governor of Jinyi in the court."

"Oh" Zuo Liangyu suddenly became serious. If this is the case, it might be that the person who came was not good.

"Go and invite Deputy General Luo to come over and let's discuss the march." Zuo Liangyu said suddenly.

His general was surprised, "We want to advance."

"Well, Xiong Wencan urged him all the time. If we ignore him, I'm afraid he may turn against him next." Although Zuo Liangyu was a little domineering, he also knew how to look at the situation. In the past, Xiong Wencan was just a bare prime minister, but if he had thousands of soldiers under his command, I'm afraid this old boy would go crazy.

Luo Dai was the deputy general of Henan, originally a central officer of Henan General Zhang Renxue. Last year, Zuo Liangyu and Luo Dai cooperated to win several battles and were promoted to deputy general. At present, Zuo Liangyu and Luo Dai were the general general of the headquarters of Junzhou. Another general, Chen Hongfan, went to Yunyang Prefecture to pacify another bandit army that surrendered and rebelled again.

When Luo Dai arrived, Zuo Liangyu directly proposed the plan to send troops.

"The food and salary are not enough, and the army is exhausted." Luo Dai raised the trouble.

"I know all of this, but we will not be able to wait for money and food for a while, but Premier Xiong has been urging him for a few days. If he stays there, he is afraid that the court's order to dismiss the court will be released."

"The emperor is not too hungry. Whoever has the ability to come will let him come. I'm eager to go back home." Luo Dai complained. He was the deputy general of Henan, and the general of Henan Zhang Renxue was the only general of Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty so far. He was the general of civil servants who were transferred to serve. In fact, he was also a civil servant who could speak except for talking and could not understand anything in leading troops to fight.

There was no general in Henan originally, and it was newly established in the past two years to suppress bandits. Henan's troops were not as good as the soldiers of various towns. It was indeed difficult for Luo Dai to lead such a soldier.

"No matter what, we have to listen to the orders of Premier Xiong Wencan from the six provinces. Moreover, there is still an auxiliary minister sitting in Xiangyang City, holding the Shangfang sword in his hand. If you don't know, maybe he will try the sword with us."

"But there is no food and grass, how can we send troops?" Luo Dai asked.

Zuo Liangyu said, "We are fighting against the thieves for the court. If the army is short of food, we can borrow some from the local gentry for a while."

The so-called temporary loan is actually a robbery. Luo Dai knew very well what the so-called temporary loan was, but it was not surprising that such things were commonplace.

"When will the troops be sent?"

"Tomorrow morning."

"Do you have to wait for General Chen?"

"General Chen was unable to escape in Yunyang for a moment, so we sent troops. The two of our troops had more than 10,000 people in total, which was enough to deal with the Xian bandits." Zuo Liangyu said. As the general, he had only one official barracks of 3,000 people under his command. Later, he surrendered many bandits. Now he has 10,000 people in his command. Luo Dai also has a battalion of troops in the Qi Bing Battalion, and the two had 13,000 people in total. This force was enough to deal with the bandits, but the premise was that the bandits should not avoid fighting and fleeing.

That night, the city of Junzhou, which had just been recovered by the official army, suddenly burst into flames. Henan Deputy General Luo Dai and the general Zuo Liangyu, the general of the aid and suppression, suddenly made trouble. They formed groups and openly plundered large shops in the city and plundered money and grain. Many people even took the opportunity to kill people, set fire, rape and loot.

It was not until dawn and after the plunder, Zuo Liangyu ordered to withdraw his troops. Later, more than 10,000 people drove away from the city and left the house, leaving behind a more broken city of Junzhou.

Many surviving people looked at the background of the departure of the government army, gritted their teeth and scolded them with hatred. Some men who died last night even buried their families and turned around and went to join the bandits. They were full of anger and resentment, hoping that the rest of their lives would have the opportunity to follow the rebels to defeat those officers and soldiers who were more cruel than robbers and kill those enemies with their own hands.

The news soon reached Gucheng and Xiong Wencan's case. Xiong Wencan just cursed Zuo Liangyu and others' evil deeds in Junzhou and threw them aside. What he cared more was that Zuo Liangyu and Luo Dai finally sent troops to suppress Zhang Xianzhong. If they did not move, Xiong Wencan probably Yang Sichang would have to speak out.

He was recommended by Yang Sichang as Prime Minister. Yang Sichang was instructed by Yang Sichang when he first recruited Zhang Xianzhong. Xiong Wencan knew that Yang Sichang didn't want him to be convicted and removed from office, as that would also affect Yang Sichang's prestige.

Now Yang Sichang is ill in Xiangyang. This is giving him time to eliminate Zhang Xianzhong, and at least he has the opportunity to win one or two battles and change the current embarrassing situation.

But this time is not long. If he cannot grasp the current situation, how can he talk about turning around the situation? If the situation does not improve, Yang Sichang will have to come out.

Fortunately, Zuo Manzi finally sent troops.

However, Xiong Wencan really had no trust in Zuo Liangyu, so he called his servant.

"Send someone to Macheng again, urge Liu Jun to go north immediately. Tell him that if he comes too late, the thieves will be wiped out, but there will be no chance to make meritorious service." To be continued.
