Huang Degong heard this and turned to look at him, but he didn't say anything, but the doubt in his eyes still showed: What's going on?
When Liu Liangzuo saw it, he quickly said to Huang Degong: "You don't have to look for it anymore. How about this Zhang Nengqi's head belongs to me?"
Having said this, he quickly explained: "Look, I killed everyone here, and I also killed Zhang Xianzhong's bandits this time. Now you have picked up the heads of Zhang Xianzhong and Zhang Kewang.
If you have no intention of returning it to me, then you can’t still want Zhang Nengqi’s head, right?”
As soon as Liu Liangzuo said this, before Huang Degong could speak, Xu Yixian shouted with a little joy: "Found it, this is Zhang Nengqi, who was shot to death by Sun Kewang's two arrows!"
When Liu Liangzuo heard this, he jumped over very quickly and arrived at Xu Yixian's side. Then after looking at the corpse that Xu Yixian pointed to, he blocked Zhang Nengqi's corpse behind like an old hen guarding its chicks, and then he faced
When Huang Degong came over, his expression changed and he said: "You have already robbed my two most important heads. If you still want to take this head, I will turn against you!"
When Huang Degong started, he didn't even think about grabbing the head. He just wanted to check whether the last highly prestigious leader among Zhang Xianzhong's thieves was dead?
Unexpectedly, Liu Liangzuo kept saying that Huang Degong had stolen Liu Liangzuo's head. He immediately became angry.
So, he sneered and said, "Come on, show me how you turn your face!"
Regardless of military merit, seniority, or title, Huang Degong is higher than Liu Liangzuo.
You dare to threaten him without saying anything. Is it possible that Huang Degong is afraid that he will fall out?
When Liu Liangzuo heard this, he felt that Huang Degong was unwilling to give up his head. Suddenly, his face darkened and he said: "Don't bully others too much!"
"Did I bully others too much?" Huang Degong almost laughed angrily when he heard this, and immediately asked, "Isn't it because you insulted me too much?"
When Xu Yixian heard that something was wrong, he immediately backed away without leaving any trace, so as not to harm Chi Yu.
When Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo's personal guards saw him, they all started to be on guard.
On Liu Liangzuo's side, when he heard Huang Degong's rhetorical question, he sneered and said, "Why have I insulted you? You came here without fighting any battles, and you snatched the heads of Zhang Xianzhong and Zhang Kewang, and now you come here again.
To steal Zhang Nengqi’s head, is this true?”
People have different perspectives and different ideas. Whatever I say, I think it is right anyway.
Hearing his words, Huang Degong couldn't help but laugh angrily. He didn't expect that Liu Liangzuo would actually describe him as a scoundrel.
His temper was not that of someone who would compromise and he didn't make much excuses. He immediately shouted sharply: "I'll just grab it. How will you treat it?"
Huang Degong didn't bother to explain. Why didn't you say that I was supporting you? Didn't the bandits run away because I led the troops to support you? If I hadn't led the troops to come to support you at the first time, I don't know whether you could have persisted? Originally,
I didn't care about Zhang Nengqi's head, so you slander me like this?
His personality is to eat soft things rather than hard things, and he won't explain it that way at all.
Liu Liangzuo didn't talk to him politely and judged a gentleman with a villain's heart. Talking about him like this only angered him.
At this time, when Liu Liangzuo heard what he said, he became extremely angry. He pointed at Huang Degong and said, "You..."
However, suddenly, he really didn't dare to break up with Huang Degong.
After all, not only was Huang Degong a marquis, but the most important thing was that he had won the trust of Emperor Chongzhen, which could be seen with some discernment. And if a fight really came to a head, Huang Degong's reputation was also there.
If he softened up at this moment, said a kind word to apologize to Huang Degong, and allowed Huang Degong to calm down, maybe he would be able to get his wish in the end.
But at this time, he had already missed Zhang Xianzhong and Zhang Kewang, and also missed Xu Yixian. He did not have any important prisoners or heads at hand. He was bound to get Zhang Nengqi's head.
Therefore, although Liu Liangzuo did not dare to confront Huang Degong face to face, he also said to Huang Degong: "If you are so arrogant and unreasonable, I will go to the Governor to file a complaint!"
"I'm afraid of you!" Huang Degong almost spat when he heard this, and replied with a sarcastic look on his face.
At this time, the two of them were fighting over Zhang Nengqi's head.
In fact, this is a flaw in the head-level calculation of military merit. This problem has always existed since the use of this method of calculating military merit in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Beheading civilians is the so-called meritorious deeds; it is not uncommon to snatch heads with colleagues and kill each other if they disagree. All of these are manifestations of the shortcomings of decapitating merit.
At this time, Huang Degong stepped forward directly, pushed Liu Liangzuo away, and cut off Zhang Nengqi's head with his own hands.
When Liu Liangzuo saw this, he dared not speak out, and he really did not dare to fight Huang Degong. This was not only because Huang Degong had more personal guards, nor because Huang Degong was a marquis, but also because he was not Huang Degong's opponent.
Seeing Huang Degong's arrogance, he shouted there: "I will definitely go to the Governor to file a complaint. Just wait. Even if this matter is brought to the Emperor, I am justified!"
After hearing this, Huang Degong didn't say anything harsh. He just sneered and said with contempt: "I'll wait!"
After saying that, he took his men, and Xu Yixian, who was watching stunned on the side, and walked away. Gu Ji
No one expected that such a big conflict would suddenly arise between the two commander-in-chiefs.
Liu Liangzuo didn't bother to care about what happened next, and angrily led his guards to Nanjing to file a complaint first.
……………
When the imperial envoy arrived in Nanjing, Ma Shiying was worried when he received a report from the front line, saying that Huang Degong had already led his men and horses to reinforce, and Zhang Xianzhong's bandits fled, so the breakout failed.
Hearing the news, he beamed with joy, and a crisis disappeared. He even praised Liu Liangzuo for being an iron chain across the river and good at guarding it; Huang Degong was so famous that thieves fled after hearing the news.
While they are boasting here, Liu Liangzuo has arrived.
When Ma Shiying heard the report, he went out to greet him personally.
This is a hero. If Zhang Xianzhong really wants to break out of him, even if the emperor is satisfied with him, he will definitely be punished. Not to mention, he has offended so many nobles, Nanjing officials and
squire.
What he didn't expect was that Ma Shiying came to cry and complain. When he explained the situation, he said that Huang Degong was bullying others, taking away all his achievements, and wanted him, the governor, to make the decision.
This time, Ma Shiying was dumbfounded.
Why did the two heroes of this battle get into a quarrel? How could such a happy thing be so troubled!
The same goes for Huang Degong. Isn't this a bit too much?
But of course Ma Shiying would not express his position immediately. After all, this was just Liu Liangzuo's one-sided statement. He also wanted to listen to what Huang Degong had to say.
After all, not only was Huang Degong more highly regarded by the emperor, but he had never heard of his stealing merit before. Whether there was any hidden secret in this process needed to be found out.
Therefore, Ma Shiying first comforted Liu Liangzuo with kind words, saying that he had blocked Zhang Xianzhong's breakout, and his credit would definitely not escape him. He reassured him that he would definitely record it in the victory memorial.
While waiting for news from Huang Degong, Ma Shiying was actually very happy.
Therefore, he has confirmed that Zhang Xianzhong is dead, and his two most famous bandits are also dead. It can be said that after this battle, Li Zicheng is the only one left with the most powerful bandits in the world!
But when he came back to his senses, he felt a little worried.
He actually has two main tasks. One is of course to suppress thieves, but the more important one is to rectify the place.
And the rectification in Nanjing is the top priority, and the emperor is paying close attention to it.
However, one of the excuses for rectifying the place was to prevent and suppress thieves, so he could use the army to suppress the place at any time.
But now that Zhang Xianzhong has been wiped out, the excuse to prevent and suppress thieves is gone. So how can we further promote local rectification?
A little sad!
After waiting for two days, Huang Degong finally came to Nanjing to report the situation of the war to him.
Ma Shiying was not so reckless. It seemed as if he had not received Liu Liangzuo's complaint. He received Huang Degong very kindly and cordially. After hearing Huang Degong's complaint, he praised him again.
Then, he began to learn about Liu Liangzuo's complaint in a roundabout way.
I have to say that literati are better at handling interpersonal relationships than warriors.
Under Ma Shiying's guidance, Huang Degong told the situation truthfully without any thought of concealing it.
After listening to Ma Shiying, he finally understood that Huang Degong had no intention of grabbing credit or taking all the credit for himself. It was just that Liu Liangzuo used his own thoughts to think that Huang Degong would do that, and ended up deadlocking the matter.
!
So, he comforted Huang Degong, calmed his emotions first, and then from the perspective of the overall situation, colleagues, etc., using his words and following Huang Degong's temper, he put forward his idea, which was to let Liu Liangzuo apologize to Huang Degong.
Apologize, and then Huang Degong attributed Zhang Nengqi's head to Liu Liangzuo's name.
Ma Shiying came forward like this, Huang Degong naturally wanted to give face. The most important thing is, who is Huang Degong, and he doesn't even bother to ask for Zhang Nengqi's head!
Seeing this, Ma Shiying felt relieved that he had solved the matter. However, he did not dare to hide it. After all, the two generals had a feud, which was definitely a big deal. Therefore, he decided to report it in a secret report to Emperor Chongzhen.
, report this matter.
Because, he also knew that even if he did not report, the two factory guard leaders around him would report it to Emperor Chongzhen.
While he was thinking about this, he heard Huang Degong say to him again: "Sir, the general will learn something, which is very important."
