Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 76

The fog locks the cold river, and the reeds are bleak.

Outside Jiujiang City, above the Yangtze River, there are endless warships.In early winter, the cold wind is strong and the waves are roaring.

On a huge warship, the lights are bright and the silk and bamboo are quiet.A few military prostitutes put on makeup and makeup, scratched their heads and posed, and babbled and sang ditties.

Ningnan Hou Zuo Liangyu was wearing a big cloak, lying on a soft couch with drunken eyes.His rough, hairy feet were placed in the arms of a delicate maid.

The servant girl lifted the apron, put Marshal Zuo's feet on her belly, and hugged her tightly.Zuo Liangyu was getting old, weak and afraid of the cold, and needed a virgin with a good body to warm his feet every night.

The cabin is decorated with lights and festoons, covered with thick carpets, and the furnishings are exquisite and luxurious.In addition to the military prostitutes singing ditties, there were also a few of Zuo Liangyu's confidantes, who were chatting and laughing happily as they exchanged cups.

General Zuo Menggeng smiled and said: "These military prostitutes who came tonight have very good singing voices, just like the sounds of nature."

"Young Lord, what is this? After entering Nanjing City, those singers in the Qinhuai River will be called national beauty, heavenly fragrance, talent and unparalleled talent! I think the eight beauties of Qinhuai River back then were famous for a while, especially Chen Yuanyuan, Li Xiangjun, Liu If so, Dong Xiaowan, four people, are all over the city and country, and each has its own beauty. Heh, the years are like water, and these four women are also wandering around, and they are no longer infinitely romantic." Supervising Army Censor Huang Shu said.

Zuo Menggen showed a fascinated expression and said leisurely: "Speaking of Chen Yuanyuan, I think of our emperor. Chongzhen robbed Chen Yuanyuan and took it for himself. I guess the spring night will be short and the sun will rise. From now on, the king will not go to court early, but he will still be the emperor. How good is the emperor!"

Zuo Liangyu coughed lightly, the military prostitutes hurriedly stopped singing, saluted and retreated.

"Huangkou kid, don't choose what to say!" Zuo Liangyu glared at Zuo Menggeng.

Zuo Menggeng was the son of Zuo Liangyu. After the Xuzhou mutiny, Zuo Liangyu's whole family was killed, and there was only one relative around him, so he doted on Zuo Menggeng very much and raised him into a dandy.

Zuo Liangyu couldn't bear to scold his son too much, so he looked at Ma Shixiu, the deputy general, and Huang Shu, the supervisor of the army, and said, "I invite you here tonight, not to spend time and wine, but to discuss the strategy of using troops. Let's go east from Wuchang , but trapped in Jiujiang, when will we be able to fight to Nanjing?"

He took out a secret report from his arms, threw it on the board of the ship, and said displeasedly: "Let's take a look, Chongzhen won the battle of Jining and returned to Xuzhou. Our situation is even more difficult, and you can't think of it." Come up with a solution, the catastrophe of extermination is not far away!"

Zuo Mengeng picked up the secret report, glanced at it, threw it into Ma Shixiu's arms, and said disdainfully: "Even if Chongzhen sends troops to support Jiujiang, we have millions of soldiers, what do we have to fear?"

"Ignorant child!" Zuo Liangyu was really angry, his son was too incompetent, he sat up suddenly, and said harshly, "I don't have anything else to worry about, but I am worried that you despise Chongzhen. If you really have such thoughts, Don't expect to go to Nanjing City anymore, this Marquis immediately pleaded guilty, so as not to bring down the lives of the soldiers."

"Father, my son doesn't understand, why are you so afraid of Chongzhen all of a sudden?"

Zuo Liangyu smiled bitterly and said: "In the past, Ben Hou really didn't take Chongzhen seriously. He was a dragon trapped in the shallows, a tiger caught in a trap. But it's different now. In less than a year, Chongzhen Jiangbei has been flattened, Gao Jie and others have been wiped out, how can this Marquis not be afraid?"

"Can any of you tell Ben Hou how Chongzhen did it? Ask yourself again, if you swap positions with Chongzhen, can you do better than him?"

The confidants stopped talking. When I think about it carefully, I really feel that things are different now. The dragon in Chongzhen is about to take off, and the tiger is about to descend from the mountain!
After a while, Huang Shu said: "The people in Nanjing also saw the horror of Chongzhen, so they don't want him to take over Nanjing. Hou Ye, for the present plan, we have to abandon Jiujiang and quickly send troops eastward to take down the city. The city of Nanjing can be determined in one fell swoop, and great things can be accomplished!"

Zuo Liangyu paced back and forth, thinking maturely, and said: "Jiujiang can't be left alone, Yuan Jixian won't just watch us go eastward. Ma Shixiu, you will continue to besiege Jiujiang City tomorrow. Benhou will lead the army down the river and break through Huang Degong in one go. The blockade line, and strive to reach Nanjing within ten days."

After thinking for a while, he said very seriously: "Huang Yushi, please sneak back to Nanjing City. On the one hand, we can communicate with each other, and on the other hand, we should cooperate internally and externally, so that nothing will go wrong."

"Father, what should the child do?" Zuo Menggeng pleaded.

"Follow me to attack Huang Degong!" Zuo Liangyu said.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Ma Shixiu led an army of 20 to storm Jiujiang City.Zuo Liangyu's soldiers pointed eastward, and hundreds of thousands of troops went down the river to kill Huang Degong's camp.

When Huang Degong learned that Zuo Liangyu had come with all his troops, he was not afraid and said with a smile: "In the past half a month, the two sides have fought several times. When did Zuo Liangyu take advantage? The emperor has long said that Zuo Liangyu Liangyu is known as an army of millions, but he is not to be feared!"

Immediately issued a battle order, put on armor, held an iron whip, and boarded the warship.

In the near future, the two armies met on the river.

Zuo Liangyu has hundreds of warships, all equipped with artillery, and another thousand warships.Wuyangyang went down the river with great momentum, and the river was so crowded that you couldn't see the end at a glance.

On the other hand, on Huang Degong's side, he originally had [-] soldiers, but he allocated [-] to Yuan Jixian, and led [-] to sit in the lower reaches of Jiujiang.

It doesn't matter if the troops are small, but Huang Degong lacks warships. He currently only has hundreds of fishing boats. The largest warships are three requisitioned double-decker merchant ships, and that's all.

Compared with Zuo Liangyu's warship, Huang Degong's warship is like a leaf falling in the river, or like a rootless duckweed, which can be overturned by a wave!
The enemy fleet was getting closer and closer, Huang Degong shouted: "Bring the wine!"

The soldiers brought a jar of wine, Huang Degong gulped it down several times, threw the jar into the river, and shouted with an iron whip:

"Soldiers, if we can defeat Zuo Liangyu once, we can defeat him twice! And the emperor has written a letter. The emperor said that he has ambushed 30 elite soldiers, and Zuo Liangyu's defeat is determined. Set up your battle array and meet the enemy!"

Hundreds of fishing boats ride the wind and waves across the river.Standing at the bow of the boat, Huang Degong stood still like Mount Tai, with his cape billowing, majestic and airy.

Standing on the command ship of the Chinese army, Zuo Liangyu saw Huang Degong from a distance, and said to himself, "Huang Chuangzi is well-deserved, he is indeed a fierce general! But he is playing a chariot with the arms of a mantis, looking for his own death."

Thinking of this, Zuo Liangyu ordered the soldiers to shout: "Huang Degong, those who know current affairs are heroes, surrender!"

Huang Degong looked up to the sky and laughed, and the laughter echoed on the river: "Zuo Liangyu, the emperor said that you will only run away when you fight all your life. The emperor gave you a nickname, Zuo Paopao. My title is Duke, you It's just a Marquis, why didn't you kneel when you saw me?"

Zuo Liangyu frowned, and took a sip: "I don't know what's good! Come here, shoot an arrow!"

The archers shot arrows one after another, and the arrows rained profusely.

Huang Degong always took the lead when facing the enemy. He was brave and tough, and he would not back down no matter how dangerous it was. Because of this, Huang Degong was deeply admired by the soldiers.

But he was unlucky today, a feather arrow shot into his left eye unexpectedly.Huang Degong screamed "Oops", turned over and fell on the bow of the boat, scaring the soldiers into panic.

"Shooting Huang is a success, shooting Huang is a success!" The soldiers of the left army yelled.

Seeing this situation, Zuo Liangyu was overjoyed, and ordered: "Huang Degong will surely die. If there is no fight at this time, when will we wait? Go..."

Before he finished speaking, Huang Degong stood up staggeringly. He pulled out the feathered arrow suddenly, with his eyeballs still stuck on the tip of the arrow.

Blood oozed from the eye sockets, and Huang Degong's entire face turned red, looking hideous and terrifying.He had no expression on his face, without any sign of pain, he opened his mouth and bit off the eyeball on the tip of the arrow, chewing on it.

"Oh my god!" Many people's faces were ashen, they were extremely shocked, and couldn't help but want to vomit.

Eat your own eyeballs, is this still human?
Muscles on Zuo Liangyu's face twitched, and he tried his best to restrain his emotions and said: "This Marquis has only admired General Cao Wenzhao in this life, but today I have to admire Huang Chuangzi, Huang Chuangzi's toughness is not inferior to Cao Wenzhao at all! Huang Chuangzi has always been arrogant and domineering, what method did Chongzhen use to subdue him and make him willing to sacrifice his life?"

Huang Degong swallowed his eyeballs, wiped the blood from his face, and shouted: "Damn it, your own meat is delicious! All soldiers, kill!"
