Chapter 872: There will be a period of time later? There will be no future later!

(0872)

【Today's first update is delivered!】

Li Xin is indeed the legendary handsome young man. The only difference is that he does not have a gold-painted paper fan in his hand. He looks weak on the outside and walks quite steadily. If he is not mistaken, he should have practiced martial arts. Of course, the martial arts practice here only refers to strengthening the body, and it is definitely not the kind of martial arts practices made by Dong Sanhuai and others. After all, others are scholars!

"Li Xin, is there anything wrong?"

Zhang Zhun sat upright on the horse's back and asked condescendingly.

Because of his previous life, Zhang Zhun’s impression of Li Xin was strange. When it comes to Li Xin, he had to talk about Hong Niang. Fortunately, Hong Niang is already his person. Otherwise, Zhang Zhun might seriously consider whether he should ask about the relationship between this guy and Hong Niang.

"Late child Li Xin met with the Governor."

"I beg the Governor to save the people of Kaocheng County!"

Li Xin came to Zhang Zhun, first saluted respectfully, and then said earnestly.

"You come to me to save the people of Kaocheng County?"

Zhang Zhun stared at Li Xin with glittering eyes and asked in confusion.

He thought that Li Xin had something special about him, but he didn't expect that he was asking for the people of Kaocheng County. He saw that his upper body was quite clean, but his lower body was quite dirty, with a lot of soil on it. As for his boots, they were even more covered with soil, and they could hardly see their original color.

It seems that he had suffered a lot along the way. If he remembered correctly, Li Xin's hometown should not be in Kaocheng County. He was very likely to have discovered the tragic situation in Kaocheng County, and then he thought of running to the east and west of Shandong and asking for help from the Hu Ben Army. For a scholar, such behavior is indeed rare! In such a chaotic era, a scholar walking alone outside can easily die inexplicably.

Kaocheng County belongs to Henan territory and has no boundary with the ground in Shandong. If you walk, it will take at least two days. Of course, there is no problem for the Hu Ben Army to forcibly occupy there. In this era, if there is a knife, it is the King of Grass Heads, and whose army is stationed there, it will be whose territory.

"Mr. Governor, some scattered soldiers occupied Kaocheng County, burned, killed, robbed, and plundered..."

Li Xin said with a sad and angry expression.

It turned out that Li Xin was indeed passing by Kaocheng County and accidentally discovered that there were a large number of scattered soldiers coming from Kaocheng County, burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of evil. The entire Kaocheng County was filled with blood everywhere, just like hell on earth. He immediately realized that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly turned around and walked towards the ground in Shandong. He learned from the evil raids of the court that the Hu Ben Army had a strong combat power. If the Hu Ben Army could take action, he would definitely drive away these scattered soldiers and robbing the local people from disaster. It was thanks to such simple thought that Li Xin came to the vicinity of Cao County without hesitation.

In the chaotic times of the late Ming Dynasty, everyone was the most terrifying. Tartars, officers and soldiers, and bandits were all among them. As long as ordinary people encountered them, there was basically no chance of surviving. Among the officers and soldiers, these scattered soldiers were the most troublesome. These broken troops, or the soldiers who escaped from the barracks, must have done everything they could and did not leave any grass. The places they washed by were like floods, clean. Not to mention living people, there were not many living insects. Therefore, there have always been people among the people who feared the most.

However, what made Zhang Zhun wonder was that Kaocheng County was in the easternmost part of Henan Province. Generally speaking, Shaanxi Uprising Army rarely appeared here. Since Shaanxi Uprising Army rarely appeared here, officers and soldiers naturally rarely followed him. So, how could a large number of scattered soldiers suddenly appear here? Is it true scattered soldiers or fake scattered soldiers?

"Whose troops are they who burned, killed, robbed, and plundered Kaocheng County?"

Zhang Zhun asked cautiously.

"Many people say it's Zuo Liangyu's troops!"

Li Xin responded angryly.

"Zuo Liangyu's troops?"

Zhang Zhun nodded thoughtfully.

Whenever Zuo Liangyu is mentioned, Zhang Zhun will think of his looting soldiers. This guy is not very capable of fighting, but he is very capable of burning, killing, looting. In the chaotic times of the late Ming Dynasty, people were suffering from the lives of at least tens of millions of people. Among them, there may be millions of them killed by Zuo Liangyu. These scattered soldiers may not be scattered soldiers at all, but Zuo Liangyu deliberately sent to burn, kill, and robbery. Otherwise, how could there be scattered soldiers appear so far from the front line? Zuo Liangyu can really do everything!

When he was in Kaifeng Prefecture, Zuo Liangyu also did something outrageous. He once led the people in a county town to block the city and left after five days. During these five days, no one knew what Zuo Liangyu did. Because, five days later, there were no living people in this county town. Zuo Liangyu claimed to the public that this county town was the nest of bandits. Idiots knew that this was an excuse, but the court acquiesced to such an excuse.

"Thank you!"

Zhang Zhun's blood surged and shouted loudly.

If Zuo Liangyu still wants to create such a tragedy in Kaocheng County, the Hu Ben Army must intervene and stop it. Such a person is no longer just an enemy, he is completely inhumane. In terms of the degree of viciousness in his heart, Zuo Liangyu and Huang Taiji can be compared.

"arrive!"

Xie Zhiyou hurriedly rode over.

This time, Zhang Zhun came to the junction of Henan and Shandong. The ones responsible for personal protection were the Xiongqi Camp and the Lionqi Camp of the Hu Ben Army cavalry, and Xie Zhiyou was the commander of the Xiongqi Camp. In Yanzhou Prefecture, the Hu Ben Army cavalry had two battalions on standby, namely the newly formed Diaoqi Camp and the Eagle Cavalry Camp.

"This is Mr. Li Xin and Mr. Li. According to his report, in Kaocheng County, there are a large group of scattered soldiers and gamblers who are *** the local people. You take the Xiongqi Camp and rush to Kaocheng County with Mr. Li to arrest all the scattered soldiers and gamblers. Be careful not to let one person escape. The most serious crimes will be left to the local people."

Zhang Zhun ordered in a deep voice.

"clear!"

Xie Zhiyou stood attentively and saluted and replied loudly.

Zhang Zhun glanced at Li Xin and said casually: "Young Master Li, you can ride a horse, right?"

Li Xin hurriedly said, "Yes."

Zhang Zhun waved his hand and someone held Li Xin a war horse.

"I will never thank you for your kindness!"

Li Xin bowed to Zhang Zhun, then turned over and followed Xie Zhiyou.

Judging from his movements of turning on the horse, it was quite quick. It seemed that he had practiced riding since he was a child. Zhang Zhun couldn't help but become more and more suspicious. Perhaps, this Li Xin is really the legendary Li Xin and Li Yan in the future. If so, he could recruit him as soon as possible. This person can be said to be the first capable general under Li Zicheng and has made many achievements for Li Zicheng. If he was snatched away by Li Zicheng, it would be a pity.

"Li Xin!"

Zhang Zhun suddenly shouted.

"What are the instructions of the Governor?"

Li Xin hurriedly turned his head and came to Zhang Zhun.

"Li Xin, the matter in Kaocheng County can not be solved by the army alone. This is the way of the world, and it is difficult for them to survive alone with unarmed people. This time the scattered soldiers will be eliminated, and next time there will be scattered soldiers and soldiers. Tell the local people that if they want to obtain security guarantees, they can only migrate to Shandong, and our Hu Ben Army will protect their safety."

"The second feasible solution is to organize the army, organize the city defense force and other things to ensure its own safety. Our Hu Ben Army can provide corresponding guidance in this regard. If weapons are needed, our Hu Ben Army can also provide it. However, once we receive our weapons, we must accept our leadership."

Zhang Zhun said in an orderly manner.

"Governor, the young student will explain in detail to them."

Li Xin's ability to comprehend is actually very strong, and he quickly understood Zhang Zhun's true meaning.

Zhang Zhun’s true meaning is to insert the flag of the Hu Ben Army into the boundary of Henan. As long as the people of Kaocheng County are willing, the Hu Ben Army will station troops in Kaocheng County and then "provide guidance" to the local city defense force. Basically, if the Hu Ben Army is stationed here, there should be no scattered soldiers coming to harass them.

"Okay, you go!"

Zhang Zhun nodded and waved goodbye to Li Xin.

The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, and the figures of Li Xin and others also disappeared quickly.

Zhang Zhun held up a thousand-mile mirror and carefully observed the movements in the west. The cavalry under Zuo Liangyu who had just retreated were still marching there. It seemed that they were still preparing to negotiate with the Hu Ben Army and try to capture Li Guo. These guys were so pitiful. Why didn't they understand? How could they even spit out the things in the Hu Ben Army when they got it?

Soon after, the cavalry seemed to have received some information, gathered up quickly, and then quickly rushed to the west. Then, after another half a cup of tea, they appeared again. Moreover, behind them, more cavalry were followed. Judging from the equipment and armor of these cavalry, they should be the elites in the official army.

Seeing a large number of official cavalry coming, the soldiers of the Lion Cavalry Camp of the Hu Ben Army led by Li Zhaohui also appeared quietly around Zhang Zhun. Perhaps because he felt the pressure of the Hu Ben Army cavalry, the official cavalry had to stop advancing. From the Qianli Mile Mile, we can see that many official cavalry were a little afraid of the appearance of the Hu Ben Army cavalry. In any case, the Hu Ben Army cavalry had defeated the Tartar cavalry face to face.

"Sir, it seems that Zuo Liangyu is here."

Wang Shide said quietly.

“It’s possible.”

Zhang Zhun nodded gently.

Sure enough, soon, some of the official cavalry just now came over and negotiated with the Huben cavalry. Liu Mang stepped forward, talked with the other party for a while, and sent someone back to report that it was indeed the general of Huben Army, Lord Zuo Liangyu, who wanted to talk to the governor of the Huben Army. Due to some reasons that both sides knew very well, Zuo Liangyu hoped to meet with Zhang Zhun in front of the formation.

"Meet in front of the formation?"

"Did you treat me as an enemy?"

Zhang Zhun talked to himself coldly and slowly rode his horse forward.

Zuo Liangyu probably did too much trouble and always felt that others were asking for trouble for him, and he cherished his life very much. Every time he went out, he should try his best to avoid putting himself in danger. However, this time, when he met with the Hu Ben Army, his wishful thinking would be disappointed.

"Governor, Zuo Liangyu is very sinister. Please be careful."

Li Guo came over quietly and whispered a reminder in Zhang Zhun's ear.

"I know this person is insidious."

Zhang Zhun said casually.

Surrounded by Dugu Lie and others, Zhang Zhun slowly rode his horse forward and appeared at the forefront of the team. In the opponent's cavalry formation, a man slowly rode his horse forward, just in front of Zhang Zhun. He quickly stopped the war horse. The distance between the two sides was about thirty meters.

Zhang Zhun looked at the person in front of him carefully. His figure was quite tall, his hands and feet were thick, and Kong Wu was powerful. He did look like he was from a general. His eyes were quite gloomy, as if he was curled up, and he would suddenly bite you when you accidentally.

"Are you Zuo Liangyu?"

Zhang Zhun said calmly.

Zuo Liangyu is at least twenty years older than Zhang Zhun and has been struggling on the battlefield for more than ten years, but Zhang Zhun's title is higher than him. According to the rules, he should take the initiative to salute Zhang Zhun. However, he could not do it. He never thought of salute Zhang Zhun. Therefore, he decided to pretend to be stupid, and he bowed his fists like a hero in the world, and said casually: "Is this Zhang Zhun-Zhang?"

Zhang Zhun swept the other party coldly and said solemnly: "General Zuo, you should salute me."

Zuo Liangyu said disapprovingly: "Governor Zhang, you and I don't have the same jurisdiction as each other. You don't need these etiquettes, right?"

Zhang Zhun hummed heavily in his nostrils and said coldly: "The state has national laws, and the army has military rules. If it is not necessary, who will maintain the national laws and military rules? General Zuo has been on the front line for too long, and has he forgotten the most basic etiquette? Or is it that General Zuo never knew such military rules?"

Zuo Liangyu didn't say anything, but he didn't salute, and he still stared at Zhang Zhun with a dark and cold and arrogant look. Obviously, he was not very keen on Zhang Zhun. No wonder Zuo Liangyu was also a well-known figure in the battlefield of the Central Plains. Because he was cruel and had a strong hand, he basically didn't suffer any losses every time he fought against the rebel army. As a result, he developed this kind of domineering image. Although the Hu Ben Army was powerful in Northern Zhili, he did not see it with his own eyes, right?

"There is no other way, General Zuo, please go back! Shandong does not welcome you!"

Zhang Jun said coldly with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"Li Guo is here with you?"

Zuo Liangyu said with a gloomy face.

“So what?”

Zhang Zhun said expressionlessly.
