"Stay a little while first."

Ying Yi waved his hand and asked Ye Bushu to take a break.

"The situation is good now, and the thieves entered the county town completely according to my plan." Ying Yi was quite satisfied: "You just need to guard the city gate for a while. If there are bandits, they will be bombarded."

Everyone promised not to mention it.

The artillery also requires technology, but it is not difficult to get started. Install gunpowder, pour in the cannon, and fire it. It’s just that the technology is not good, the accuracy cannot be guaranteed. But Ying Yi doesn’t need to have very accurate artillery bombardment. Putting the cannon outside the city is just a shock, just to block the thieves.

Ying Yi changed his mouth to the Pu Dao, and Xueliang's blade swayed: "Let me kill you tonight."

Finally, he instructed: "Take time to prepare some dry firewood, kill too much, bloody and heavy, and it takes a big fire to cleanse the sins of these thieves."

There is no need to make a detailed description of how to kill this night.

With Ying Yi's ability, he blocked these thousands of thieves. He touched them into the city with one knife and killed them whenever he saw them. The movement was not big until the killing was almost done, and the thieves were frightened.

And it was too late.

Killing someone is like a numb, so what is the truth.

...

Zhang Shi received Ying Yi's order and brought a few clever ones all the way south.

No one knows the general situation in the south better than Zhang Shi. As a 100-household official who is not accepted at night, this is the focus of surveillance. Although surveillance was delayed due to this day's incident, the situation has not changed much for the time being.

He took the people to the valley where Zhu Bingkun hid in the southern slope first, conveying Ying Yi's order, and then he took out Fangcheng Mountain and headed towards Yuzhou.

Yuzhou is located in the south of Fangcheng Mountain, only thirty or fifty miles away. The bandits under Liu Zongmin were stationed in the north of Yuzhou, while the bandits under Hao Yaoqi were stationed in the east of Yuzhou and Wuyang.

The two bandit soldiers were in a horn and confronted the Huguang soldiers entrenched in Yuzhou City.

During this period, there were occasional small-scale battles, but they did not affect the overall situation.

Zhang Shi and a few people avoided the bandits and rushed to the city of Yuzhou.

From afar, I heard a scolding from the city: "Where did people come from? Get out of here!"

Zhang Shi tied the reins and did not dare to approach, for fear of being beaten to death by the Huguang soldiers on the top of the city as a bandit. He took out a document from his arms and shouted: "I am Zhang Shi, an official under Zheng Yunzhi, Ye County, Zheng County Zun. He holds the document of the county Zun and comes to see General Zun!"

"Ye County Zheng Yunzhi?! I don't know!"

Such words came from the city wall.

When Zhang Shi heard this, he frowned and shouted: "I shot the documents onto the top of the city, and asked the brothers on the top of the city to help him hand them to General Zuo and Commander Ding. It is related to two million military pay. Please do not be careless in the brothers on the top of the city!"

As soon as these words came out, a commotion suddenly came from the top of the city wall.

After a while, I heard someone say, "Cum up the document!"

Zhang Shi breathed out slightly, untied his bow and arrow, tied the document to the arrow, and shot the head of the city with a bang.

Zhang Shi was a senior hunter and said that he was good at shooting, but he was one of the best if he didn't win at night.

After shooting, Zhang Shi shouted again: "Please hand it to Ding and General Zuo!"

After a little movement on the top of the city, there was no sound. Zhang Shi calmed down and waited secretly.

People say that the arrogant generals are arrogant and powerful. Zuo Liangyu's army is in shape but not in spirit. The arrogant soldiers of others are because of their strong combat power. However, the arrogance of Zuo Liangyu's army has nothing to do with combat power.

It is probably like a thief and is arrogant in front of the people. Once you see the benefits, you will ignore anything like a dog smelling Rexiang.

It was heard that it was a major event related to the two million taels of military pay, so the soldiers on the city did not dare to neglect them, so they quickly asked someone to pass them into the city. Soon after, they handed them to Zuo Liangyu.

Although Ding Qirui was the one who supervised the Huguang Army, Ding Qirui actually had no power in the army. Zuo Liangyu and others controlled the army, so what they said was the most important thing. Therefore, the first person to know was not Ding Qirui, but Zuo Liangyu.

"It's related to military pay?"

Zuo Liangyu received the document and was still excited before she opened it.

The soldier said, "That's what the person who came said."

Zuo Liangyu nodded and hurriedly opened the document. He first looked at the mark on the document. It turned out to be the county master seal. Then he looked at the content of the text, and a clear and noble came to his face.

Zuo Liangyu believed it immediately.

Since the Tumu Fort Incident, the military merits and honors formed since the founding of the Ming Dynasty suffered a major blow, gradually making literati occupy the mainstream of military and political affairs, and the humbleness of civil and military officials began to show.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, civil officials were in control of the power of the world. Often, military generals with higher ranks had to kneel down when they saw civil officials with lower ranks. Even now, civil officials had to rely on military generals, but their contempt for military generals remained unchanged.

The aloofness and despise of the literati in the document appeared on the paper. When Zuo Liangyu saw it, he felt annoyed and immediately believed the authenticity of the document.

He spitted and then began to read carefully.

After reading the document, Zuo Liangyu's expression became very strange. There was a hint of entanglement in her happiness.

"Come, call Meng Geng and Shixiu to see me."

Soon, two people came to Zuo Liangyu one after another.

One is Zuo Menggeng, Zuo Liangyu's only son, and the other is Zuo Liangyu's confidant deputy general Ma Shixiu.

"Look at it."

Zuo Liangyu threw the document to Zuo Menggeng.

After reading it, Zuo Menggeng showed surprise. While handing the document to Ma Shixiu, he said to Zuo Liangyu: "Master, good opportunity!"

At this moment, Ma Shixiu looked at ten lines at once and knew the contents of the document. Hearing this, he shouted: "Zuo Shuai, two million military pay!"

Zuo Liangyu nodded: "I know it's two million taels of military pay, but this matter is still a bit confusing. I'm afraid that Old Man Ding is not right."

Zuo Menggeng hurriedly said, "The father and commander are confused. Isn't this document an explanation to Ding Laoer! Ye County's guards were not good, so that the military pay fell into the hands of the thieves. The father and commander were full of the emperor's high hopes and should send troops to regain the military pay. This is how the emperor's expectations are worthy of the emperor!"

These days, Zuo Liangyu was determined to take the initiative to attack. He saw that there were not many bandits, and the total was only about 20,000, and he had 40,000 troops. The main force of the bandits was in Kaifeng, so he could take this opportunity to defeat these two bandits so that he could seek credit from the court.

Furthermore, the matter of two million taels of military pay was confusing before, and the bandits had already arrived, but he didn't know what the situation in Ye County was. He was afraid that the military pay would be swallowed up by the bandits, so he was willing to attack.

Ding Qirui rejected Zuo Liangyu's proposal to attack lightly on the grounds that all parties had not yet made any preparations.

As time passed, Zuo Liangyu was afraid that the situation here had been known by the thieves, and gradually extinguished his idea of ​​taking the initiative. But unexpectedly, the documents from Ye County arrived at this time.
