Chapter 13 Soldiers are not belligerent

Zeng Yuanyu has always been loyal to Tang Ting. Li Yan transferred him to Luoyang to garrison, and Zeng Yuanyu decided to follow Shi Wild Boar, Lu Yinzheng and others to Luoyang. Yu Lu had nothing to say. When they arrived in Luoyang, Liu Yunzhang, Liu Jingren and others held a banquet to entertain Zeng Yuanyu, Shi Wild Boar and Lu Yinzheng. Everyone sat down one after another, and Liu Yunzhang smiled and said, "Guys, because of the attack and disturbing the eastern capital, we have our party today. It's rare for everyone to get together. Luoyang is still safe now. Let go of your belly and drink!" After saying that, he drank the wine in his glass in one bite.

People began to change their cups and eat and drink. Soon, a table of delicious food was swept away by these senior officials of the Tang Dynasty.

Liu Jingren has drunk * points at this time. He stood up, staggered to Zeng Yuanyu and said incoherently, "General Zeng, General Zeng, how much the emperor trusts us this time. Let's not disappoint the emperor's trust, ah! General Zeng asked for Luoyang's peripheral defense. It's a lot of effort!"

Zeng Yuanyu saw Liu Jingren's intoxicated state and thought: Why did the emperor send such a pus general to take charge of Luoyang defense? Such a general. Like a wine coffin, when drinking, big things are put aside. Can you shoulder the heavy responsibility of ensuring the country and the people? Zeng Yuanyu looked at Liu Jingren in disgust and said coldly, "General Liu, I think you have drunk too much today. Yuan Yu's responsibilities are naturally clear! Yuan Yu would like to remind General Liu to drink less wine on weekdays and don't miss the big event of defending Luoyang!"

Liu Jingren couldn't help but be furious when he heard Zeng Yuanyu's sarcastic words. With the power of wine, he opened his red eyes and roared: "Zeng, Zeng Yuanyu, what's so great about you! Isn't it just killing a Wang Xianzhi? Just be proud of yourself and look down on others in your eyes! This, the Tang Dynasty will be like a star. How old are you, Zeng Yuanyu?! How dare you teach me Liu Jingren! Liu has been responsible for protecting the palace for a long time, and the civil and military capital of the Manchu Dynasty has respected me three points! Today, if you don't make it clear today, I won't let you go!" After saying that, Liu Jingren stepped forward with an arrow, grabbed Zeng Yuanyu's clothes, and was about to splash.

Zeng Yuanyu was also angry about bullfighting at this time. A few battles in the Central Plains had been defeated in a row, and he was full of anger and had nowhere to vent. Now that Liu Jingren opened his teeth and claws and said evil words to him, Zeng Yuanyu couldn't help it any longer. He stared at him and threw it out second-hand hard. How could he be Zeng Yuanyu's courage? His two feet couldn't stand for a moment and stepped back several steps. One fell to the ground, his forehead fell to the ground, and blood flowed.

The people who attended the banquet hurriedly left their seats to persuade Zeng Yuanyu and Liu Jingren. Liu Yunzhang ordered the military doctor to bandage Liu Jingren's wounds. Liu Jingren stood up, and most of the wine woke up. He cursed, "Zeng Yuanyu, you son of a bitch, wait and see. There will be a beautiful day for you!" The duck has been boiled and its mouth is still hard.

Zeng Yuanyu sneered: "Liu Jingren, don't rely on being born in a rich family, others dare not touch you! I, Zeng Yuanyu, do things openly and I'm afraid of you! If you have the guts, go to the Golden Temple and tell me!"

Once there is a conflict between male animals, they often fight hard and don't know that peace is the most important thing. Shi Yingzhu is a celebrity around Li Yan. From an emotional point of view, he and Liu Jingren have more contacts and are familiar with each other. But he also admired Zeng Yuanyu. Today, when he saw this scene, he stood up and said, "The two generals are both important ministers of the Tang Dynasty. Why did they come to Luoyang? It is according to Your Majesty's will to defend against the yellow nest thieves! Now, the thief hasn't hit Luoyang City, but you two have begun to fight against the bull! That's all for today. If a similar incident happens again next time, I will definitely report to the emperor that neither of you has a good fruit to eat!"

When the stone wild boar said this, Zeng Yuanyu and Liu Jingren lowered their heads and stopped talking. Liu Yunzhang, Lu Yinzheng and others persuaded again, and the banquet dispersed.

Zeng Yuanyu returned to Guanyi. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Originally, he wanted to discuss with Liu Jingren how to jointly defend Luoyang, but now the relationship has become so rigid that it seems that he can't continue. Zeng Yuanyu was so angry that he simply left without saying goodbye and went to the front line of Yuan, Yi Que, Heyin and Wu prison to defend alone.

It is said that Meng Kai, Huang Siye and other Rebel generals who met in Lushan led their own troops to the agreed attack area. Meng Kai and Huang Kui led more than 40,000 volunteers to approach Zhuge Shuang's "supineers" camp under the smelting furnace city. Zhuge Shuang was shocked and quickly recruited his generals Kang Shi and Ping Shiru to discuss military information.

Kang Shi and Ping Shiru walked into Zhuge Shuang's temporary command post and saw Zhuge Shuang's sad face and sighed. The second general asked, "General Zhuge, is it a matter of deploying troops to fight against thieves by calling us?"

Zhuge Shuang shook his head and said, "This time it's really dizzy. Zhang Zimian asked me to send 10,000 troops to cooperate with Qi Kerang and Qin Zongquan to encircle and suppress the mountain bandits. I took 10,000 elite soldiers on the road and actively promoted them. Now the troops are stationed in the furnace city, but the two armies of Qi Kerang and Qin Zongquan moved slowly and were watching each other. As far as I know, Qi Ke sent 30,000 troops from Shenzhou this time, but stayed in the Langling Mountain area. Qin Zongquan only sent 10,000 horses, led by himself, to camp in the Wufang area and no longer move forward. Damn, I really don't know what kind of medicine is sold in their gourds?

Kang Shi said, "Now the strength of the thieves is not what it used to be. It turned out that there were only more than 10,000 horses of Zhao Zhang. Not long ago, the thief Kou Mengkai entered the mountain, and then the thief Huang Siye also entered the hakama mountain. Together, I think there are at least 70,000 to 80,000 people. With our troops, if we want to encircle and suppress so many thieves, it's a way to die!"

Zhuge Shuang sighed: "That Zhang Zimian, I really want to scold him. He raised troops to reinforce Songzhou and was defeated by Huang Chao. Now he is huddled in Zhengzhou and has done nothing. Now the thieves have sent the main force to attack Luoyang. I'm afraid that the thieves will lead our nest in Ruzhou, and then we will be homeless. Nowadays, if you have soldiers in your hands, you have the right to speak. Many cities and towns have not listened to the imperial court, and we should also prepare early to cultivate our own strength. If there are soldiers and territory, others can't help us, so we have to call us grandpa! So I decided not to suppress any thieves this time. Just retreat back to Ruzhou and guard our old nest! As for suppressing thieves, as long as the yellow nest thieves don't beat us and embarrass us, we won't fight against the thieves!"

Ping Shiru nodded: "General Zhuge is far-sighted. We agree with your approach and must preserve your strength. I don't think it's too late. I'll leave tonight and withdraw to Ruzhou.

Zhuge Shuang waved his hand and said, "Okay, that's the arrangement. I'll lead 5,000 people first. You two will lead 5,000 people to stay here for another day to prevent the thieves from chasing and killing later."

That night, Zhuge Shuang led 5,000 people and began to retreat. The Rebels reported to the camp. After Meng Kai learned the news, he immediately ordered the whole army to attack. He personally led 10,000 elite soldiers to chase and kill Zhuge Shuang's people, and the remaining 30,000 righteous troops were allowed by Huang Kui to command to attack the furnace city.

Not long after Zhuge Shuang and the retreating man Ma started, he heard the sound of the golden drum behind him. He knew that Meng Kai was targeted this time. If he blindly retreated and was chased by Meng Kai's army, it was likely to be destroyed. Zhuge Shuang had to bravely order to stop moving forward and array to fight.

At the door flag, Zhuge Shuang immediately conceated and said, "General Meng, this time my brothers were ordered to come to the balmble mountain to encircle and suppress you. I have thought about it over and over again and feel that your army has not hurt my troops. Brother, I admire General Meng very much, and I have always wanted to make friends with General Meng. If General Meng is willing to let me go tonight, I promise that I will never be your enemy in the future. Some of my friends also hold heavy troops. I can also work and get along well with your army. Isn't everyone just fooling around? I don't think we should meet each other unless we have to.

Meng Kai is a man of personality. Seeing Zhuge Shuang's sincere face and thinking that many friends have many ways, why do you have to kill him? Killing back and forth, aren't they all the children of the people? Besides, Zhuge Shuang has lined up to meet each other and is in a favorable terrain. If he fights hard, the casualties of the Rebels will certainly be very large. According to Huang Chao's combat deployment, it is to cross the south of the Yangtze River. Eliminating Zhuge Shuang's troops is not the focus of this operation. Besides, after listening to Zhuge Shuang's words, maybe it is really possible to rebel against this army in the future?

Meng Kai finished thinking and laughed: "Zhuge Shuang, you know it. I'm in a good mood today. Since you have given up, you are no longer our enemy. Meng Kai will not chase and kill you, but remember that there is only one chance to say a promise in front of Meng Kai. If you repent next time, the nine-ring knife in my hand will be rude to you!"
