Chapter 243 Zuo Mengmei
In the next few days, both the refugee army and Xu Changqing's model army maintained considerable restraint.
Liu Zongmin's main force had already withdrawn from the Princess's tomb. At this time, the troops of Li Yan and Hong Niangzi were left behind. At this time, they were confronting Xu Changqing.
Li Yan is undoubtedly much safer than Liu Zongmin.
He has been summoning cannon fodder to build fortifications fortifications fortifications for the refugees. The earth walls have been piled up to five or six meters high, and various trenches are even stacked, like ants nests.
Xu Changqing is also constantly renovating fortifications.
However, unlike Li Yan and his wife, Xu Changqing did not increase the scale of the fortifications, but was constantly improving the auxiliary facilities.
The water system here is a bit too abundant. Although it is midsummer and the sun is vicious, the humidity is still very heavy at night.
During World War I, soldiers often had a 'trench foot disease' with sores on their feet, which was much more terrifying than directly dying in battle.
Once you get this disease, you will basically have amputation, and many people may not be able to save their lives.
At this time, the children of the Model Army were all Xu Changqing's lives. The roots and seeds would have to stay in this environment for several months, perhaps longer.
Xu Changqing certainly cannot let his children get infected with this kind of evil disease and destroy the Great Wall by themselves.
Solving this problem is not complicated either.
On the one hand, quicklime disinfection, on the other hand, it is to renovate the structure in the fortifications, expand the space larger and more open, prepare fire prevention facilities, build wooden barracks, and at the same time, set up more drainage channels to lead out the water source in the camp.
In this way, when the sun is high at noon, the children can hide in the wooden barracks to rest. The sun can dry the campground, so that the children can practice activities in the morning and evening.
...
In this orderly manner, the news of Xu Changqing's victory in Zhuxian Town began to spread rapidly.
Zuo Liangyusu, who maintained a clear channel with Xu Changqing, received the news first.
This made the general of the thief who was pacified and locked himself in a big tent and started drinking.
At this time, history has become very different from the original time and space.
Because of Xu Changqing's strong breakthrough in Song Jin, the military group, which had already begun to rise, began to rise sharply, and the court suddenly enthroned four uncles.
It would be fine if Wu Sangui was appointed as the Bo. Zuo Liangyu, who had been in the army for several years in Liaodong, knew the power of the Wu family very well, and he did not dare to join Wu Sangui.
But, even if he is a minion like Cao Bianjiao, Wang Pu, and Xu Changqing, a little boy who came out of nowhere, can he be named a uncle?
Is this a slap in the face of the general who suppressed the thief?
Originally, Zuo Liangyu was very proud to be able to win the title of General Punishment and believed that he was the best in the world.
However, under the shadows of Xu Changqing, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Pu, and Wu Sangui, this is obviously not enough to see.
"Oh, this is the damn thing, the country is about to perish, and there will be a monster! You dare to jump out of anything!"
The more I thought about it, the more angry Zuo Liangyu became. She sighed and held the wine glass in her hand hard, with gloom in her eyes.
At this time, the big tent was opened and a young figure walked in quickly.
He was wearing a guerrilla official robe, his eyebrows were sixty or seventy percent similar to Zuo Liangyu, but he was much more delicate than Zuo Liangyu.
It is Zuo Menggeng, who had met Xu Changqing in Qingzhou!
Zuo Menggeng also learned about Xu Changqing's victory at this time. When he saw his father's appearance, how could he not understand what was going on?
He hurriedly smiled and said, "Master, are you worried about the war ahead?"
Zuo Liangyu glanced at his son and sighed, "Meng Geng, what do you think?"
Zuo Liangyu still attaches great importance to Zuo Menggeng. Although he has not experienced much polishing, Zuo Menggeng has been smart and very sensible since childhood. He has become his successor. In many things, Zuo Liangyu no longer avoids his son, but instead discusses with him.
Zuo Menggeng smiled and said, "Father, you don't have to worry about this matter. Perhaps, this is a good opportunity for us!"
"oh?"
Zuo Liangyu narrowed his old eyes and looked at his son, "Tell me carefully."
Zuo Menggeng no longer held his head and smiled and said, "Father, what kind of combat power is the thief? Can anyone in the world know better than you? It would be strange if Xu Changqing cannot defeat the thief. However, Xu Changqing is really brave. Even if he alone, he dared to go deep into the thief's heart. The child had met Xu Changqing in Qingzhou before, and he was really a cruel person. On that day, even the young master of Yansheng Gong's family, he did not give him any face at all. But later, when the young master Kong died, Yansheng Gong did not dare to make things difficult for him."
Zuo Liangyu frowned tightly, waiting for his son's following.
Zuo Menggeng smiled again and said, "Master, the rumors that had been spread in Liaodong before, that Xu Changqing was brave, many people did not believe it. However, the child now believes it. I am afraid that, as the rumors say, the reason why Wang Pu and Cao Bianjiao were able to be named Bo is because they all rely on Xu Changqing!"
Seeing that the father frowned even tighter, Zuo Menggeng said directly: "Father, my son thinks that we can only make friends with Xu Changqing, but not offend us! Fighting with each other will benefit without any harm! Maybe, if we can destroy Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin and others this time, you can also be the boss, and even go further!"
Zuo Menggeng looked at Zuo Liangyu with a burning look.
Zuo Liangyu's eyebrows were already frowned into lumps and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Seeing that Zuo Menggeng was a little anxious, Zuo Liangyu said slowly: "Xu Changqing is arrogant and arrogant. I am afraid that even if we want to make friends with him, he may not appreciate that."
Zuo Menggeng had already planned and said hurriedly: "Father, this matter is not difficult. Have you...forgot Mengmei? Although Xu Changqing is the bravest man in the world, his lust is well known! There are two young ladies from the Wu family and the Zuo family, and later Gu Hengbo and Kou Baimen, in Qingzhou, and there is also a girl in Yishui. The father, Mengmei is never inferior to them! Our Zuo family is not weaker than the Wu family! Father, as long as you agree to this matter, the child is willing to go to Xu Changqing to discuss cooperation overnight!"
"Mengmei?"
Zuo Liangyu's face turned cold.
Mengmei is not his biological daughter, but the daughter of his old friend Qiu Lei in Liaodong.
Back then, Zuo Liangyu and Qiu Lei committed a crime together and were going to be severely punished, but Qiu Lei took the blame alone and entrusted his daughter to Zuo Liangyu.
Afterwards, Zuo Liangyu named his goddaughter Zuo Mengmei, not only regarded him as his own, but also regarded him as the pearl in his hand.
Zuo Mengmei is also very competent. She is not only beautiful, but also proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also very understanding. She is also a very soft place in Zuo Liangyu's heart.
But at this time, Zuo Liangyu didn't expect that his son would actually use the pearl in his palm to talk about it in order to hold Xu Changqing's thigh!
Seeing Zuo Liangyu's face change, Zuo Menggeng knew that he was a little anxious and wanted to say something, but he had no idea what to say for a moment. He could only sigh deeply: "Father-in-chief, Mengmei is the daughter's family, and she will eventually get married. Xu Changqing is a hero in the world. Mengmei will never let her down if she follows Xu Changqing."
Zuo Liangyu immediately stood up hideously and wanted to whip the incompetent son in front of him.
Zuo Menggeng was not afraid and did not hide, so he simply closed his eyes.
He understood his father's idea very well, and it was no wonder that "the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook" and did not want to destroy the refugee army so early.
However, at this time, the matter is no longer under his father's control. If you don't want to destroy it, then does Xu Changqing also want to destroy it?
If the migrant army is destroyed by Xu Changqing, then the Zuo family will not only not get any benefits, but will also face the catastrophe.
Over the years, the Zuo family has done a lot of things against their conscience.
But his father was still so stubborn at this time, and he was really tired at the moment.
But after waiting for a while, Zuo Menggeng found that his father's whip had not fallen. Zuo Menggeng hurriedly opened his eyes and found that his father seemed to have grown aged a few years ago.
"Father-man…"
Zuo Menggeng also choked up for a moment and looked at him with tears in his eyes.
Zuo Liangyu sighed deeply at this time: "Meng Geng, what you said is not wrong. Xu Changqing is really worthy of Meng Mei! However, you can't be anxious about this matter! You can take Jinsheng Huan's troops to go north first and go to Xu Changqing to see the situation. You can understand this matter by looking through Xu Changqing and see his reaction first. Do you have to try your best to get the conditions. Do you understand?"
Although Zuo Liangyu said this implicitly, how could Zuo Menggeng not understand what his father meant? He couldn't help but be overjoyed and focused: "Father, don't worry! This matter is covered by the child! The child will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation!"
...
Zuo Menggeng immediately took more than 3,000 vanguards of Jin Shenghuan's troops under Zuo Liangyu's command and rushed to Zhuxian Town overnight.
Zuo Liangyu stayed in the tent and stared blankly.
At this time, they had arrived in Zhenyang territory in the middle of Ruyang Prefecture. If they had to go all out, they could reach the battlefield in Zhuxian Town in three or five days.
To be honest, Zuo Liangyu was also very moved by the proposal Zuo Menggeng said.
What Zuo Menggeng can figure it out, how can he, an old fried dough stick, not understand?
If Xu Changqing took the initiative and really destroyed the refugee army, then there would be no need for him to suppress the thief general to tell the truth.
At this time, although Zuo Liangyu had both wins and losses in the battle with the refugee army, he really looked down on those mud legs in his heart.
I have always believed that as long as he really exerts his strength, those mud legs will definitely not be his opponent.
Therefore, many times he is a little erratic, constantly growing himself in this erratic, and always believes that the overall situation is under his control.
But at this time, the appearance of Xu Changqing, the "catfish", made Zuo Liangyu feel a little confused.
What should I do about this?
At this time, a graceful figure came to the tent lightly, and walked over with a cup of tremlin soup with a smile, "Father, it's already late at night, why don't you rest?"
When Zuo Liangyu saw this beautiful figure, his mind became clearer in an instant, and he smiled and said, "Mengmei, you girl is not sleeping yet, why are you here to find a father? How about it, have you been getting better these days?"
Zuo Mengmei smiled: "Father, you're much better. You don't have to worry about it. Let's drink the Tremella soup first."
"Oh, okay, drink porridge for your father."
Zuo Liangyu couldn't bear to refuse any requests from her daughter who seemed weak but was actually strong.
While drinking porridge and looking at the adopted daughter in front of her, Zuo Liangyu felt a little moved.
Zuo Mengmei is only 28 years old this year and is in her youth. Zuo Liangyu has seen countless storms, but he believes that the women he has seen, including famous prostitutes, are not enough for his daughter.
This daughter has been sensible since childhood. Because of the years of fighting, he had no choice but to keep her by his side, but his daughter never complained. In this environment, she learned to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting by herself, and was proficient in everything, and was always taking care of her old bones.
How could he be willing to marry his daughter to the arrogant Xu Changqing?
But... Zuo Menggeng said it right. His daughter will eventually get married. If he can marry Xu Changqing, he will never humiliate their Zuo family.
To some extent, this is even the pride of their Zuo family.
But……
Seeing his father's entanglement, Zuo Mengmei smiled lightly: "Father, daughter...is willing to marry Xu Changqing!"
Zuo Liangyu's pupils suddenly shrank: "Mengmei, who told you this?!"
A strong murderous aura suddenly filled his body.
This is someone who wants to hurt his heart!
Even if this is done by Zuo Menggeng, it won’t work!
Zuo Mengmei Yingying smiled: "Father, you don't have to be angry. Speaking of which, my daughter mentioned this matter first."
"What?"
