"Sir, there are three hundred cavalrymen in front of you block the road."
When Gu Zhenhua heard the report, he immediately showed a sneer. Three towns in Jiangbei were on his side, and only Liu Zeqing could stop him. This guy was not a good thing. Chongzhen asked him to lead troops to serve the king, but Liu Zeqing lied that he was injured, burned, killed and looted all the way, and fled to Huai'an.
At first, Liu Zeqing catered to the Donglin Party’s Qianqianyi, Lu Daqi and others and supported Lu Wang ascending the throne. Because of this, Shi Kefa asked Liu Zeqing to guard Yangzhou and be responsible for blocking Ma Shiying and others, and to buy time for the Donglin Party.
Of course, these are the norm in troubled times, and there is nothing to blame. It’s just that when Liu Zeqing went south, he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and became a shameful traitor.
Gu Zhenhua knew this very well, so he was not polite to Liu Zeqing.
"Polu, take the two battalions up, and do your best to wipe out the cavalry on the opposite side!"
"Don't worry!"
Yue Polu rushed out on his horse and rushed out like a whirlwind with a battalion cavalry. These veterans of the Guanning Army did not take Liu Zeqing seriously at all. The border army was already stronger than the mainland troops, and the Guanning Army was the leader of the border army, and each of them was full of arrogance.
They were like an arrow, and they crashed into Liu Zeqing's troops.
Yue Polu rushed to the front, and he waved his machete, like chopping melons and vegetables, killing and slashing, and the soldiers behind him were not polite.
Although they are all cavalrymen, the gap between the two sides is still too big. Yue Polu and others have armor, the war horses are also the best horses, and the weapons in their hands are also more sophisticated.
Facing the Shandong soldiers, they almost slaughtered one-sidedly. The black arrows quickly penetrated the array, and the soldiers on both sides rushed up like fan faces.
When the Shandong soldiers woke up, they were already in the encirclement and their number continued to decline. Seeing their companions falling one after another, these soldiers also felt fear from the bottom of their hearts.
run!
The Shandong soldiers turned around and ran away. Yue Polu led his men and horses to bite them tightly behind him, without letting go. They chased them all the way and went directly to the city of Yangzhou.
Liu Zeqing was still having a banquet in the city. He also heard that the prince went south, so he naturally wanted to seize the merits of the plan. Shi Kefa asked him to station in Yangzhou, and Liu Zeqing came without hesitation.
But Liu Zeqing didn't expect Gu Zhenhua and the others to be so fast. Last night, his subordinates just sent two beautiful girls in Yangzhou, beautiful and charming. Liu Zeqing was simply forgetful and struggled all night. At noon, General Liu was still sleeping soundly. Two wounded girls were lying beside his bed, dying.
"Master, no, the bandits are coming in!"
The shouting of his subordinates suddenly woke Liu Zeqing up. He didn't care about anything, and jumped up quickly and put on his clothes randomly.
"What's going on? Who dares to go to Yangzhou to play wild?"
"Master, we don't know. Just now, the cavalry brothers went to patrol and were chased by others. We opened the city gate and let the brothers enter the city, and the group followed and killed them in."
"Food bucket!" Liu Zeqing grabbed the collar of his subordinates and threw them out.
"Come on, prepare for the gun and horse, follow me out."
Before Liu Zeqing could take action, there were shouts of killing coming from the street. Yue Polu and his men rushed in. In fact, Yue Polu did not expect to enter Yangzhou so easily, as if he had entered a no-man's land. He led the soldiers to chop and kill them freely, and the Shandong soldiers fled in a glance, which was vulnerable.
After killing to the official office, a group of people finally rushed out. A general in his forties was in his forties, with a heavy spear in his hand, and a group of personal soldiers were following him.
"Who are you? How dare you act wild in front of this town?"
"An** Yue Polu, who knows the truth, surrender quickly, otherwise there will be a dead end!"
"Boy, Grandpa Liu killed you." Liu Zeqing urged his horse to rush up and killed Yue Polu in one place. The soldiers on both sides were fighting against soldiers, generals and generals, and the killing was very lively.
At this time, Gu Zhenhua and Ma Shiying and others followed along, and Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, and Gao Jie were also closely following. These three were experts in leading troops. When they passed the battlefield, they saw the bodies in the area, almost all of them were Shandong soldiers and Liu Zeqing's subordinates, and An** was very few injuries, and it can even be said to be ignored.
Fist is the truth, and this is even more true for those who lead the troops. In an instant, their views on Gu Zhenhua were completely different. An ** not only looked good, but also had terrifying combat power. He could never be an enemy of him easily.
"Sir Gu Jue, An ** is indeed very powerful in combat, which is admirable. It's admirable! With the help of Gu Jue Gu, the prince will be even less troublesome to ascend the throne!" Ma Shiying said with a smile: "Liu Zeqing is a fence-bearer. At this time, you still have to fight for it. You should not make more enemies."
"Master Ma, I'm reckless." Gu Zhenhua said: "Let's chase after you immediately to see if you can convince Liu Zeqing so as not to go against us."
“That’s natural.”
They immediately rode their horses to chase and rushed straight to Yangzhou City. Ma Shiying, Huang Degong and others were all dumbfounded. They didn't expect An ** to actually kill the city. In fact, Gu Zhenhua was also shocked. Although Liu Zeqing was trash, it was not as trash as this.
Gu Zhenhua led the way and rushed into Yangzhou City. At this time, the city was already in chaos. Liu Zeqing's subordinates fled one after another, running around like headless flies.
Gu Zhenhua and the others rushed to the official office. The battle here was the most intense. Yue Polu was killing Liu Zeqing. Liu Zeqing was also a powerful general, but he used too much force last night and his legs were still floating. He fought with Yue Polu, the little tiger, but he was at a disadvantage.
"Look at the knife!"
Yue Polu suddenly slashed at Liu Zeqing's forehead. Liu Zeqing hurriedly resisted, but Yue Polu turned out to be a false move. The blade tilted and just hit Liu Zeqing's shoulder, and blood suddenly emerged.
"Ah!" Liu Zeqing screamed in pain and ran backwards. All the servants rushed over and tried their best to rescue them.
At this moment, a sudden shout was like a bolt from the blue.
"stop!"
Gu Zhenhua and his men rushed away. When Yue Polu saw Gu Zhenhua coming, he hurriedly retreated. At this time, Ma Shiying, Huang Degong and others rushed over.
"General Liu, don't be fine."
"It's you!" Liu Zeqing grinned in pain.
"Mr. Ma, what does it mean? Why do you want to attack Liu's army? If you don't explain it clearly, Liu will definitely agree!"
After a rush, it didn't take long, but it was definitely a lot of losses. Liu Zeqing was also injured, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"General Liu, I want to ask you what you are going to do. We escort the prince into Beijing, why are you here to stop him? Are you trying to rebel?"
"Master Ma, you can't falsely accuse a good person. Liu came to guard Yangzhou by the order of Shigemen, but was attacked for no reason. You must give Liu an explanation, otherwise I will never agree!"
Before Liu Zeqing could finish his words, he heard a horse's neighing. The big green horse jumped twice in a row. Gu Zhenhua arrived in front of Liu Zeqing. Before Liu Zeqing could react, Gu Zhenhua stretched out his hand and put the Seven-Star Sword on his neck.
The sword of dozens of kilograms was pressed heavily on his shoulders, and Liu Zeqing almost suffocated in an instant.
"Don't you know what you want to do, what is your crime to kill your colleagues?"
"Liu Zeqing, I advise you to be clear-headed. What is the purpose of Shi Kefa to let you defend Yangzhou? You know better than me. The prince is the lord of a country. Ascending the throne is greater than heaven. What's the harm in killing you a mere general!"
As Gu Zhenhua said, pressing the sword, blood marks appeared on Liu Zeqing's neck. A strong murderous aura enveloped him, and Liu Zeqing's whole body seemed to be frozen and he dared not move.
"Master Ma, Liu dare not delay the prince's ascension to the throne. What a great sin. I can't afford it. You should let this person take his sword away!"
"Ahem!" Liu Zeqing was too cowardly. As soon as he shone his sword, he cried and begged for mercy. Is he still considered a warrior?
"General Liu, this is the most powerful contributor of our dynasty. In the hands of the bandits and the Tartars, he kept the prince safely and moved south, supported the country, and made great contributions to the whole world."
Liu Zeqing hurriedly said, "Lord, loyal and brave, I have been long and long, and my subordinates are also loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty. However, the situation is like this. I really don't know where to go. I would like to ask the adults to point out a clear path. The villain will definitely follow him to the death."
Gu Zhenhua really hoped that Liu Zeqing could say a few harsh words, and then he slashed with one sword, saving a disaster. But he knew that this guy was so soft, so Gu Zhenhua could only snorted coldly and took back the sword.
Ma Shiying hurriedly said, "General Liu, let's escort the prince to Nanjing, you can follow me too!"
"Oh!" Although Liu Zeqing felt resentment in his heart, the situation was stronger than others. Besides, he might be able to become a hero with Ma Shiying, so he could only suppress his anger first.
The four towns in Jiangbei have gathered together. Gu Zhenhua and An** are still the pioneers. Liu Zeqing is not an opponent, and the others are even more native chickens and treasures. Not worth mentioning. The army is in a mighty and unobstructed manner, and comes directly to Yizhen.
"Sir, there is a team of honor guards in front of you. What should you do?"
When Ma Shiying heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Did you see clearly? Who is the leader?"
"There is a historical character on the banner."
Ma Shiying immediately smiled proudly: "It turns out that Shi Xianzhi is here, but he is too late! Mr. Gu, let's go see Shi Kefa together."
"I can't find it."
Gu Zhenhua had long been interested in the most famous hero in the Southern Ming Dynasty. He activated the horse and went up to meet Ma Shiying.
Not long after walking, I saw a long royal ceremonial guard, stretching for several miles, jade chariot, guide cover, basin, whisk, saliva, horse steak, chair, umbrella cover, flags, axes, stars, lying melons, standing melons, my stick, imperial stick, and guide stick...
In front of the team, it was the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Minister of War Shi Kefa. When he saw Gu Zhenhua and the others rushing towards him, Shi Kefa was also shocked.
Why didn’t Liu Zeqing block this bastard?
