He was defeated and returned to Kuizhou Mansion. His father was still there, so he could go back and kill the pursuers and go back!
However, at this time, what the messenger said made him really unbelievable.
Therefore, he opened his eyes wide and confirmed again: "My father also fled back to Kuizhou Mansion?"
Didn’t you say that the armaments in central Sichuan were lax?
Zuo Mengeng was dumbfounded, but Ma Shixiu immediately asked: "Do you know who the commander-in-chief's enemy is?"
"Qin soldiers!" the messenger immediately replied, "the governors of the three sides personally led the Qin soldiers, at least 30,000 troops, chasing the general, and they will soon reach Kuizhou Prefecture! Especially that madman He in the Qin army,
I don’t know why, but it wasn’t the general’s signal that led to the tightest pursuit! Now the vanguard has passed Kaixian and is approaching the capital city of Kuizhou…”
The mission of the messenger is to quickly notify Zuo Menggeng to withdraw the troops on Zuo Liangyu's order, because facing the Qin soldiers led by the governors of the three sides, they will definitely have to fight a tough battle. Gather the troops to avoid being separated by the imperial officers and soldiers.
Only by defeating it can we compete with the Qin soldiers.
However, when the messenger saw that Zuo Menggeng's army was even more defeated than the Marshal's side, he had nothing to say!
At this time, Ma Shixiu felt bad when he heard what the messenger said.
As far as the Ming Dynasty is concerned, if you don't count the Qi army, the best source of troops is the Qin army.
Now the governors of the three sides have personally led the army, and they have led 30,000 troops!
If our side had just captured Kuizhou Prefecture, they might still have the strength to fight, but now they have all been defeated. With the Qin and Shu soldiers attacking together, how can we still fight this battle?
……………………
"Some of them are still capable of fighting!" In the lobby of the Yamen of Kuizhou Prefecture, Zuo Liangyu, who had just escaped and could not take time to rest, immediately held a military meeting and said to his generals,
"The Qin soldiers are chasing hastily, and the ranks are getting longer. Now I have urgently sent a messenger to Chongqing. No matter whether they can defeat Chongqing or not, we should return to intercept the Qin army halfway. This is our chance!"
At this point, he paused and then added: "More than half of our elite troops have been mobilized along the way to Chongqing. I have strictly ordered Meng Geng not to interfere with Shixiu's command. In this way, we will surely turn defeat into victory!"
Li Guoying listened, nodded and said: "The commander-in-chief is right, now we have no way out, the commander-in-chief's move should give us a chance to turn defeat into victory!"
The reason why they say there is no way out is because after they enter Shu, if they want to leave Sichuan, they must defeat Li Zicheng's troops who are blocking the way. However, with their current strength, they basically have no chance of winning.
In this case, it can only be a fight to the death!
Fortunately, the Qin soldiers pulled their hips. Judging from last year's war, the Qin army, including Madman He, had learned to bully the weak and fear the strong.
As long as the Qin army here realizes its determination to fight to the death, Madman He will not fight so hard anymore, and maybe he will trap another governor in eastern Sichuan!
Then, they began to calculate the strength of their troops, thinking about how to cooperate with Zuo Menggeng's army to defeat the Qin soldiers. When one of Zuo Liangyu's personal guards hurriedly walked in, he reported in a panic: "Commander,
The young marshal is already less than five miles outside the city..."
When Zuo Liangyu heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he shouted sternly: "What's going on? Didn't they make a detour and intercept them halfway? They didn't understand what I said, or they dared to disobey my military orders because of their stiff wings..."
The guard unexpectedly interrupted Zuo Liangyu's angry shouting, and hurriedly picked up what Zuo Liangyu interrupted and said: "Report to the Marshal, the Young Marshal...he escaped!"
"Escaped?" When Zuo Liangyu heard this, he was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously, "What escaped? Didn't you say before that the journey was going smoothly and that Chongqing was about to be captured?"
When Zuo Mengeng's side marched, they would of course send people to contact Kuizhou Prefecture. Therefore, after Zuo Liangyu escaped back, he first asked Zuo Mengeng about the situation there, and then decided to let Zuo Menggen
Geng's strategy of returning to attack the Qin army.
At this time, his personal guards could not answer Zuo Liangyu's questions.
When Zuo Liangyu saw it, he was also anxious, and immediately strode out and rushed to the top of the city to see the situation.
When Li Guoying and others saw it, they all had serious faces and hurried to follow.
When they first arrived at the top of the city, they saw figures already visible in the distance.
The leader of the group of people was riding a horse, but the horse probably couldn't run anymore and couldn't keep the gap between it and the large number of infantry behind it. They were swarming towards Fucheng in a disorganized and unorganized manner.
Just by taking a glance, Zuo Liangyu's face became so gloomy that it was about to rain.
After getting closer, Zuo Liangyu recognized it at a glance. The person riding in the front was his son Zuo Mengeng. The person accompanying his son was his deputy general Ma Shixiu.
Looking at them like that, they are really as embarrassed as they are!
No, after Zuo Mengeng saw his father at the top of the city, he immediately rushed to the top of the city and asked out of breath: "Dad, why are you..."
Before he could finish his words, he was slapped with a slap in the ear.
There was a "pop" sound, very loud and crisp!
Zuo Mengeng was almost knocked to the ground by the slap. He covered his face and was confused for a long time and asked, "Why did you hit me?"
"I have given you most of the elite troops in the army!" Zuo Liangyu was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at the defeated soldiers outside the city and shouted sternly, "Forget it if you can't win, you just give me
Can I bring back just a few men?"
Being able to escape even if you can't win is also a skill, at least Zuo Liangyu himself often does this!
However, now his son has defeated all his troops. This is the basis for his high hopes that he can turn defeat into victory!
Of course, if Li Zicheng's troops had not blocked the east Sichuan exit and Kuizhou Prefecture could not defeat him and could not gain a foothold, he would not have been so angry and would have raised another army when he fled from Shu.
This kind of thing has happened to him before and he is no stranger to it.
But the key point is that now he is in a desperate situation! It is not a question of whether he can make a comeback, but whether he can escape!
If he had known that his son was such a prodigal, he would not have assigned the elite of the army to Zuo Mengeng.
What he encountered was the Qin soldiers led by the governors of the three sides, so that was fine. At least the reputation of the Qin soldiers was still very famous. However, on his son's side, they were all bad soldiers in Sichuan. He had already
He decided to enter Sichuan only after detecting that the military equipment in central Sichuan was slack. And just like that, his elite army was defeated!
At this moment, Zuo Liangyu really had the urge to beat this unfilial son to death.
He had never seen his father lose such a big temper. Zuo Mengeng immediately gave up and did not dare to confront his father again. He quickly followed what Ma Shixiu had taught him before and said to his father: "It's a white pole."
Army, the White Army went to rescue Chongqing!"
"White Army?" Zuo Liangyu frowned upon hearing this.
The Qin army is already difficult to deal with. Among the pursuers here are the Baigan Army, which really adds fuel to the fire and adds insult to injury!
So, he calmed down his temper and began to carefully study the course of the war in Chongqing.
After listening to Zuo Mengeng's description and Ma Shixiu's addition, Zuo Liangyu had a clear idea.
Sichuan's military equipment was indeed slack, which was why it was so vulnerable in the early stage.
However, it is obvious that the imperial court was prepared in advance, which is why the Qin army appeared and the Baigan Army was reinforced.
This situation can be seen from the fact that among Chongqing's reinforcements, there are also reinforcements that look like thieves and bandits.
It must have been assembled temporarily, and that's why the general at the head would fight with such desperate tactics, because the rabble fought with one breath. If the general didn't rush in front, it would be impossible for the rabble to defeat him.
Those elites.
Among the pursuers here in Chongqing, the one with the biggest headache is the White Army. The other one is the navy.
The naval warships in Kuizhou Prefecture were all harmed by his son. Whether it was the infantry or the navy, they were obviously at a disadvantage.
The next war will definitely be difficult to fight.
what to do?
What to do next?
Suddenly, Zuo Liangyu, who had always been cunning and cunning, ran out of ideas.
Before he could discuss the outcome with his men, He Madman He Renlong's troops arrived and killed him.
In order to regain the position of commander-in-chief and to prove He Renlong's worth, he really tried his best this time, and he was the first to kill him in Kuizhou Fucheng.
Almost at the same time, Zeng Ying's troops arrived at the capital of Kuizhou at the same time.
Then, there are the Navy Yang Zhan’s troops and the Baigan Army!
On the third day, Du Yinxi, the governor of the three sides, arrived with the main force of the Qin army. In total, there were about 50,000 imperial officers and soldiers, and they formally surrounded Kuizhou Fucheng. This time, Zuo Liangyu was not allowed to escape.
Regarding this, Du Yinxi was in a good mood. When he met Zeng Ying, Yang Zhan and others again, and heard their battle history, he couldn't help but smile and praise them. He commended them for their bravery in fighting and for breaking up for official business.
Things to do with the family wealth.
In this regard, he also secretly admired Emperor Chongzhen for using the Shu people to save Shu. Otherwise, even if they were willing to fight for the country, they might not use their family wealth as military supplies.
No matter what, even if you are protecting your family, aren't you also defending your country? There are still few such people.
No, they used their family wealth, and Lu Daqi also asked his hometown elders to contribute money and food. As the richest King of Shu in Shu, he had nothing to lose. This is a sharp contrast!
Looking at these heroic Shu people in front of him, Du Yinxi admired them very much. However, now Zeng Ying, Yang Zhan and others were subordinates of Lu Daqi, the governor of Sichuan, so he did not go beyond Lu Daqi to promote them.
When he was discussing matters and preparing to take the capital of Kuizhou, Gao Jie, the officer on duty, came in and reported to Du Yinxi: "Sir, the Zuo thief said that he wants to see you, because it is related to the safety of the people in the city!"
Upon hearing this, Du Yinxi became extremely angry and started to slap the case!
