When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but look at him in surprise. Wang Liuhui hurriedly asked, "Wang Gui, what are you doing?"

Wang Gui ignored him, but looked at Liu Guoneng and said sincerely: "Brother, Zuo Liangyu gave me five hundred taels of silver before, and promised me that I could be his personal guard in the future, and that I would promote me, let me... let me..."

Speaking of this, it seemed a little difficult for him to speak. But he didn't have to continue talking, and the others immediately understood what would be next.

Suddenly, Wang Liuhui and others were angry and surrounded him. Just as they were about to shout, they were stopped by Liu Guoneng. He squatted down and helped Wang Gui up and said, "Since you can confess, we are still brothers!"

Speaking of this, he turned to look at the other people, and explained with a serious expression: "Have you heard it, we will be brothers of life and death in the future, do you understand?"

Wang Gui lowered his head in shame, and Wang Liuhui and the others' anger had not yet subsided, and he seemed to be a little disgusted. Liu Guoneng became angry and said to Wang Liuhui and others: "Who hasn't done anything wrong? You, or you? We have been a thief for many years before, are we all clear conscience? Wang Gui is now taking the initiative to be honest, so he is still a good brother! Have you heard it?"

Hearing this, Wang Liuhui and others recalled their experiences, and the anger on their faces finally subsided. After Liu Guoneng shouted again, they finally stepped forward one by one. At Liu Guoneng's request, they stretched out one hand, folded it together, and said in unison: "Brothers of Life and Death, never leave me!"

Liu Guoneng patted everyone's shoulder again, and then took Wang Gui to Xiangyang.

It is obvious that Zuo Liangyu doesn't seem to care at all whether Liu Guoneng has a strange intention, and even acts like this in front of his son. However, in fact, he kept his hands secretly. Those who can make a fortune in the late Ming Dynasty are indeed very cunning.

Early the next morning, in Xiangyang City, Chen Qiyu had just woken up. While washing up, he couldn't help asking the guard who came over to send water and said, "Is there any news from Zuo Liangyu?"

"Not yet, the sent people have never come back!"

Chen Qiyu frowned when he heard this. It has been several days since then, and Zuo Liangyu has been ill and has not come. Now it seems that it is certain that he must have guessed something and will never come to Xiangyang Mansion. At least he will not come before he is clear about his safety!

Thinking of this, Chen Qiyu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. The emperor gave a secret decree to kill Zuo Liangyu to the sacrificial flag, showing the court's attitude: Those who harm the people like Zuo Liangyu are like thieves will never allow it.

However, the first fire he had when his new official took office was stuck and it didn't start to burn!

Since it is so dark, it can only come out of the light!

After making this decision, Chen Qiyu immediately sent an order to ask the generals who had arrived from all walks of life to the Governor's Office to discuss the military affairs.

The two generals of the Yonggu battalions in Xiangyang were Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji, as well as several generals and deputy generals from the surrounding areas. Of course, Liu Yue, a hundred households of the Jinyiwei, was also listening to the emperor's order.

At the beginning of the military discussion, Chen Qiyu announced the decree of Emperor Chongzhen, emphasized the military discipline of the court's official army, and wanted to arrest Zuo Liangyu. As for the current situation, he also mentioned it and began to deploy troops. While Zuo Liangyu was still pretending to be sick, he unexpectedly used his strength to take him down in one fell swoop.

When they heard this, the generals below couldn't help but feel a little scared.

In fact, they were all a little unclean, but this time, the emperor ignored them and wanted to use Zuo Liangyu to kill the chicken and scare the monkey! Even though Zuo Liangyu's military strength was the strongest among these people, the emperor did not hesitate and issued this order.

From this we can see that, like before, I felt that the court would rely on itself to encircle and suppress the bandits, and would not do anything with the generals holding military power. This would be absolutely impossible in the future. Even a powerful general like Zuo Liangyu would arrest him as soon as possible. Who would dare to do anything wrong again?

As the generals of the Yongwei Battalion, Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji were originally the best military discipline in the army in the late Ming Dynasty, so they naturally looked down on those who harmed the people. Therefore, they both immediately accepted the order loudly. This action was to use the Yongwei Battalion as the main force to arrest Zuo Liangyu.

Chen Qiyu was familiar with the matter of marching and fighting, so he quickly formulated a plan. Just as he was about to order them to take action, he saw a personal guard hurried in and reported, "Sir, there is a secret report!"

After saying that, Chen Qiyu nodded, and immediately stepped forward, leaned into Chen Qiyu's ear and whispered a few words.

The generals below, including Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji, were a little surprised and stared at the Governor's face. They found that Chen Qiyu's face had also changed, and it seemed that it was bad news.

As soon as the personal guard finished speaking, Chen Qiyu immediately stood up and hurriedly ordered: "Come to the back hall, I will ask for it myself."

After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave, but just as he turned around, he seemed to remember something, so he turned back and said to Liu Yue: "Liu Baihu, come here and listen together!"

When Liu Yue heard this, he was not polite. He suppressed his curiosity and followed Chen Qiyu to the back hall.

When Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji saw this, they looked at each other and did not speak, but stood like clay Buddhas. Although the other generals were curious, seeing that they were like this, they had to hold back their curiosity and wait for the Governor to come back.

After a while, in the back hall, Chen Qiyu saw the man who was hurriedly led in by his personal guards. Without waiting for him to speak, he hurriedly asked: "Are you Liu Guoneng under Zuo Liangyu?"

Speaking of which, Liu Guoneng is not very famous among the thieves. There are so many thieves, including all kinds of names, and it is not necessarily very prominent to break into the sky. Therefore, Chen Qiyu has no impression of Liu Guoneng.

Liu Guoneng didn't care about the sweat, and immediately replied with his fist, "Governor General, it's the last general, and there is an emergency military report."

At this time, what Chen Qiyu lacked the most was his understanding of Zuo Liangyu. Therefore, when he heard from his personal guards that Liu Guoneng, the garrison under Zuo Liangyu, had an emergency military report, he immediately put down the military proposal.

Liu Guoneng didn't talk about the conditions and didn't talk nonsense at all. He told Zuo Liangyu's guesses and sent him to the bandit army and then sent him to another time. He told him all the things he said in detail.

At the beginning, what Liu Guoneng said was still within Chen Qiyu's expectations.

As soon as Zuo Liangyu was ill, he expected that Zuo Liangyu must have guessed something, but he did not expect that Zuo Liangyu was not idle, but made a quick decision and prepared to rebel, and even immediately contacted the thieves. In addition, the situation on the thieves also shocked him.

He did this, and Liu Yue, who was listening to the side, was shocked by the news.

After Liu Guoneng told the situation, he said earnestly: "Huang Hu, Cao Cao and the others should want to alienate the relationship between the Governor and the Emperor, and they seem to want to plot against the Emperor."

While listening, Chen Qiyu glanced at the Jinyiwei Baihu next to him with slightest glance. For him, the news that the thief wanted to disagree was that with the Jinyiwei Baihu testified, it would only benefit but not harm him. But at the same time, he had to be surprised by the ambitions of the thiefs.

Of course, he would not believe whatever Liu Guo could say. But after Liu Guo could say it, he immediately asked: "Why did you come to report it to me secretly? Are you not afraid that I will doubt you?"

"Return to Governor General, Zuo Liangyu's affairs, as long as the Governor General is checked, you will know the truth or falsehood." When Liu Guoneng said this, he suddenly raised his head and said frankly, "The General was forced to be a thief before. He was magnanimous in the court, and he had the opportunity to repent and reform himself. Others think so, but the Generals don't know, but the Generals only knows that they must cherish this last opportunity!"

After hearing this, Chen Qiyu couldn't help but look a little serious and stared at Liu Guoneng's eyes. With his experience, he didn't notice any signs of lying. He turned to look around and asked, "Liu Baihu, what do you think?"

Although Liu Yue had a very small official position, he represented the emperor, so it was reasonable to be respected. He had been observing carefully from the side. When he heard Chen Qiyu ask, he bowed and replied, "Sir, I will believe him!"

When Liu Guoneng heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. He stared at Liu Yue seriously, feeling a little excited.

The relationship between origin is somewhat inferior, but Jinyiwei Baihu said directly that he believed in him. This kind of trust was very precious to him at this time.

After hearing this, Chen Qiyu stopped hesitating and immediately said to Liu Guoneng: "Okay, I already know about Zuo Liangyu's matter. It is important. To prevent the attack, you should go back and pretend that you have never come. When the officer sends troops and the two armies face off, you will attack unexpectedly and make great contributions. You can take the guerrilla position and serve the court!"

When Liu Guoneng heard this, he immediately accepted the order and immediately left the city quietly and rushed back to be an undercover agent.

Chen Qiyu did not dare to delay any more. While sending Ye Busuo to investigate Zuo Liangyu's movements, he adjusted his deployment and sent Yongwei Camp to suppress Zuo Liangyu's rebellion in response to what Liu Guoneng said.

However, what he unexpectedly expected was that Zuo Liangyu had already started to take action while sending Liu Guoneng, and rushed to the surrounding cities, which made Chen Qiyu feel off guard and quickly remedy it. He also sent someone to strictly order and inform local officials of the local government that now in wartime, he must follow the brochures passed by Chen Hongxu.

What Chen Qiyu didn't know was that there was another thing he absolutely did not expect, that his conversation with others, including his own self-talk, was immediately fed back to Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in Shaanxi, so that Emperor Chongzhen could understand the situation in Xiangyang as soon as possible.

At this time, the prefectures and counties near Shangluo Mountain were firstly facing the army, and the second was that the matters about Emperor Chongzhen were also spread here first, leaving the poor people without fear of the official army. Therefore, as soon as Emperor Chongzhen arrived, he was pacified here.

Zheng Chongjian arranged the appointment of new local officials and restoration of local order, so Emperor Chongzhen didn't need to worry about it. He just considered the latest news and saw how to use it.

Others don’t know, but he happened to know that Liu Guoneng, and this man was eventually killed for the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, under this premise, after thinking for a long time, he made a decision and immediately sent 800 miles to rush to Xiangyang to convey his will.

These thieves were not good at plagues, and they even thought of using conspiracies to get rid of Chen Qiyu. If they were deduced based on the original history, they might not have succeeded. Especially after Zuo Liangyu, who was familiar with the affairs of the officialdom, joined the thieves. After Li Zicheng's troops wandered around for so many years, they also knew the importance of the people's hearts and put forward the slogan of "equal land and exemption of grain."

If I could not completely wipe them out this time, I would not know how much energy I would have to spend to continue to encircle them. If I continue to use internal friction like this, it is definitely not what I want to see. After this year, the best thing is to stabilize the country and be able to concentrate on dealing with the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong. This is the real thing!

When Emperor Chongzhen thought about this, he felt that his will was right. It would be better to catch them all in one place this time and make every effort to complete the battle!

However, he was still dissatisfied with one thing. The food transport speed in Jiangnan was not fast enough. At least he had not heard of the news that there was food being transported from Chen Qiyu's eavesdropping seeds. It seems that the money and grain used for military affairs in the early stage mainly depended on the vassal palaces in various places. It was also a loss that there had been prevention before and some things were done.

As for the thieves who thought about picking up persimmons, they thought that he would definitely not be able to lead troops to fight, so they wanted to fight him. Emperor Chongzhen didn't think about this at all, nor was he angry. Because as the army approached the thieves, I believe the thieves would know that their ideas were actually wrong!

Just thinking about this, Emperor Chongzhen led an elite army and left southern Shaanxi without any haste and headed towards Tongguan.

In the northern part of Hubei, Zhang Xianzhong and others were almost a good news and a good news. First, Zuo Liangyu rebelled against the court and threw his original resident to them. He himself captured two county towns one after another before the court reacted.

Zuo Liangyu did not seal the sword in the county town he captured. Once such a thing was done, it was enough to prove Zuo Liangyu's determination to rebel. Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong and others recognized Zuo Liangyu and began to discuss the joint matter.

They even have a kind of expectation for this matter, that is, Chen Qiyu had just taken office and forced a general who could fight back and lost two more county towns. He was probably impeached, so it would be best if he went back and forth!

Zhang Xianzhong and others were still happy that the situation was getting better. Suddenly, someone came to report that Li Zicheng's troops, with nearly 60,000 troops, were also coming to them, saying that they would also unite with them to fight against the imperial encirclement and suppression.
