After about half an hour, the pursuers of the Merchant Army retreated one after another, and at the same time they brought back hundreds of prisoners, among whom there was actually a big fish, Zuo Liangyu's son, Zuo Menggeng, Marshal Zuo
.
Zuo Mengeng was arrested because of the armor he was wearing. He was so conspicuous on the battlefield that it was impossible for people to ignore him. As a result, he was stared at by Yang Wucheng, but Jin Shenghuan and Lu Guangzu were spared.
These two people. But precisely because of Zuo Mengeng's gorgeous appearance, Yang Wucheng also realized that this was a big fish.
Although Shang Yi did not require that he must be captured, Yang Wucheng felt that it was best to capture the enemy general alive so that he could show his merit. Therefore, he did not let the soldiers kill him, otherwise they would be shot and arrowed indiscriminately.
, Zuo Mengeng was finished. As a result, Yang Wucheng led a group of cavalry in a fierce pursuit, and finally caught up with Zuo Mengeng. At this time, there were only a dozen close soldiers left around Zuo Menggen, and the others
He had abandoned Zuo Mengeng a long time ago and fled in all directions.
Although Zuo Mengeng was still unwilling to give up, he led a dozen of his relatives to fight back hard, and wanted to fight a bloody road to escape, but he could not withstand the large number of merchant soldiers. Moreover, Yang Wucheng was proficient in cavalry combat skills, and the merchant army's cavalry were all
After being rigorously trained by Yang Wucheng, a mere dozen soldiers of the Left Army were no match for them. They were beaten to death and caught in a short time. Zuo Mengeng was also whipped off his horse by Yang Wucheng's gun and was killed by the Merchant Army.
The soldiers captured him alive.
As a result, when Zuo Menggeng was tied up and brought to Shang Yi, the copper helmet with the peacock feathers on it had been thrown away. The armor with golden scales was also hanging crookedly on his body, and the silk with gold
The shirt was also torn into pieces here and there, and was covered with mud. There were also a few blood marks on his face, making his appearance as embarrassing as possible.
Shang Yi couldn't help laughing and said: "Isn't this Young Marshal Zuo? Is Young Marshal okay?"
Zuo Mengeng struggled a few times, but naturally he couldn't break free, but he still insisted on saying: "Shang Yi, don't be proud, my father will never let you go." Then he looked around wildly.
He shouted: "You all listen, my father is Commander Zuo Liangyu. Let me go quickly, otherwise when my father comes with the army, none of you will be able to recover."
Shang Yi came close to Zuo Mengeng, sneered and said: "Who is your father? Don't say he is Zuo Liangyu, so what if your father is Li Gang? He didn't come in person this time. Even if he goes far away,
If he comes, I will still fight him. Believe it or not, I will kill you right away." Then he pulled out his saber and scratched Zuo Mengeng's neck.
Zuo Mengeng was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't know who Li Gang was, he saw Shang Yi put the knife on his neck and scratched it back and forth. A cold feeling came from the blade, and he couldn't help but feel fear in his heart.
Trembling, he knelt on the ground with a "gudong" sound, and said in a trembling voice: "Shang Yi, General Shang, Master Shang, don't kill me, spare your life, spare your life!"
Shang Yi put away his saber, glanced at Zuo Mengeng with disdain, and said, "I thought you had so much ability, but it turns out you only have this little ability, and you still want to pretend to be a hero. Remember, in the future, in my camp
Be more honest, and maybe your father will come to keep you company in a few days." After saying that, Yang Wucheng asked Zuo Mengeng to be escorted off and put under surveillance.
Then Shang Yi immediately withdrew his troops and returned to the camp, allowing the entire army to take time to rest and rearrange their positions, because Zuo Liangyu might attack again.
As expected by Shang Yi, Zuo Liangyu couldn't help being shocked and angry when he learned that the troops he sent had returned in defeat, and that his son Zuo Menggeng had also been captured alive by Shang Yi, because he only had such a son.
Zuo Liangyu was eager to save his son, so Zuo Liangyu did not bother to think about how the troops sent out were defeated, and immediately led all the troops in Ningzhong, Xianyang, to fight out of Xianning and charge towards Shang Yi's camp.
But at this time, the Merchant Army had been well prepared. When they saw the Left Army coming again, they were met with a burst of fierce shooting. The Left Army only suffered heavy casualties again, and it was impossible to break through the Merchant Army's position.
Moreover, the soldiers who participated in the previous battle were still frightened by the ferocious firepower of the merchant army, so they immediately retreated when they were slightly frustrated. Their attitude also affected other left army soldiers, who also imitated their example.
They retreated as soon as they were beaten. Although Zuo Liangyu personally supervised the battle, it was of no avail. He launched three consecutive attacks on the Merchant Army's position. As a result, they were beaten and wounded countless men and horses each time, and they retreated in defeat. Although Zuo Liangyu was killed consecutively,
A dozen soldiers were the first to flee, but they still could not stop the retreat of the entire army.
Just when Zuo Liangyu was at his wits' end, the Merchant Army also launched a counterattack. First, they fired a volley of rifles to clear the way, which only made the Zuo Army scream in pain. But when they got closer, another row of grenades were fired, which made the Zuo Army cry.
Father called mother. Seeing that the momentum was not good, the soldiers of Zuo Army immediately turned around and ran away. Even Zuo Liangyu could not stop them.
The merchant army immediately took advantage of the situation to pursue and charge forward. Later, when Zuo Liangyu saw that the situation was not good, he was afraid that he would be captured by the merchant army if he did not run away, so he actually went to Shang Yi's military camp to keep company with his son.
Therefore, he had no choice but to turn around and retreat under the protection of his own soldiers. It was at the last moment of Zuo Liangyu's retreat that he escaped this difficulty and fled into Xianning City, staying behind closed doors.
Only now did Zuo Liangyu realize that Shang Yi was such a difficult person to offend. But thinking about it, even Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong suffered heavy losses at the hands of Shang Yi, which is enough to show that this person is definitely not a good person.
Stubble, it's a pity that I usually don't take the court seriously. I am an arrogant and spoiled person. Today, I was kicked into an iron plate.
But now it’s too late to regret, because my son has been captured by Shang Yi, and it’s too late to stop even if I want to. I don’t know how my son is doing with Shang Yi, whether he has suffered anything, or whether Shang Yi will kill him.
If Shang Yi really dares to kill his son, then he will... he will...
Zuo Liangyu thought for a long time, but couldn't think of what he could do to Shang Yi. Now he couldn't beat him, and he couldn't hide. Even if he sued him in the capital, he would lose in all likelihood. Because
Zuo Liangyu knew in his heart that he had not taken the imperial court seriously over the years, and he had not had a good look towards the civil and military ministers. He had offended many people in the past. Not only did the emperor dislike him, but the civil and military ministers also disliked him.
If it's wrong, they might have been waiting to see you laughing.
This is really a dilemma, and Zuo Liangyu can't help but regret a little. If he had known that he was in this situation now, he should have restrained himself in the past, otherwise he would not have ended up with no one to speak for him now.
.
At this moment, someone came to report that it was Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo's men who had arrived in Xianning. They sent people to ask what the current situation was like. Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but perked up when he heard that they were here.
, thinking that if he could get Longhuang Degong and Liu Liangzuo to deal with Shang Yi, it would be possible to rescue the child.
After arriving in Xianning, Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo have always found it puzzling. First, Zhang Xianzhong, the target of the encirclement and suppression, ran away, and the two friendly troops who arrived here earlier, Zuo Liangyu and Shang Yi, started fighting with each other for some unknown reason.
It seemed that they were fighting fiercely. Moreover, both of them wrote to themselves, trying to pull themselves against the other person. They suddenly became so popular, and the two of them did not feel flattered, on the contrary, they were inexplicable.
First, there was a letter from Zuo Liangyu, scolding Shang Yi, saying that Shang Yi was arrogant, arrogant, arrogant, domineering and arrogant. He also told the two of them that Shang Yi had received most of Zhang Xianzhong's food, and Zuo Liangyu exaggerated it as silver.
There are more than one million taels and more than 200,000 shi of food, which is a lot of money. However, Shang Yi now only has 5,000 men and horses, so his troops are weak, so Zuo Liangyu suggested that the three of them join forces to defeat Shang Yi.
Then they divided up the money, food and supplies of Shang Yi's army. When reporting to the court, they only said that Shang Yi was killed by bandits and blamed it on Zhang Xianzhong. That was the end of it. The court knew about it afterwards, but it was still raw rice and cooked rice.
You have to rely on yourself to quell the chaos, so you won't do anything to yourself and others. At most, you can just ask them questions and demote them one or two levels.
After receiving Zuo Liangyu's letter, Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo were indeed a little tempted. More than a million taels of silver and more than 200,000 shi of grain were certainly not a small amount. The three of them could each receive more than 300,000 taels of silver and 700,000 to 80000 shi if divided equally.
Stone grain, in these years of war and chaos, where to go to find such a good opportunity to make a fortune, money is the second best, and where to go to find so much grain, it is very tempting.
Therefore, Liu Liangzuo was so excited that he immediately wanted to reply to Zuo Liangyu and agree to his request. However, Huang Degong had an extra thought. Why didn't Zuo Liangyu do such a good thing by himself instead of waiting for the two of him to come?
Okay, why should Lalong do it together? The two of them have no friendship with Zuo Liangyu, so why should Zuo Liangyu give up such a good opportunity to make a fortune to himself? It's wrong to say that Zuo Liangyu wants to find someone to be more courageous.
, these years, Zuo Liangyu has dared to ignore the emperor's imperial edict, and there is nothing else he dare not do.
Hearing what Huang Degong said, Liu Liangzuo calmed down. After thinking about it carefully, it made sense. Zuo Liangyu was not such a good person. It was impossible for him to give up his interests. Maybe this was the case.
Set up a trap and let the two of you drill it.
At this moment, Shang Yi's letter was also delivered to the two of them. In the letter, Shang Yi described in detail how he and Zuo Liangyu became enemies. Of course, Shang Yi also focused on how he had killed Zuo Liangyu.
Yu was beaten to pieces and returned with a great defeat. Even Zuo Liangyu's son Zuo Menggeng was captured alive by himself and is now imprisoned in his camp.
At the same time, Shang Yi also advised the two of them that now that Zuo Liangyu might come to pull Long and the two away, they should not be fooled by him, because Zuo Liangyu has already offended the emperor many times, and sooner or later one day
, the emperor will deal with Zuo Liangyu, so it is better to draw a clear line with Zuo Liangyu as soon as possible, otherwise he will be implicated by Zuo Liangyu. He also asked the two people to come forward and let Zuo Liangyu send someone to talk.
He, offered money to redeem his son, and everyone added two to one to make five, and everyone got a share.
