Liu Yuanqing's name is unknown.

His eldest brother Liu Zeqing is like thunder.

One of the four famous towns in Jiangbei, one of the most powerful warlords in the late Ming Dynasty.

However, unlike Liu Zeqing, who was a scourge, Liu Yuanqing's life still had bright spots.

In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the Qing army attacked Linqing.

Liu Yuanqing, who was the chief military officer of Linqing at that time, defended the city vigorously. After the city was broken, he fought hard and died. He was called a righteous man in the fight against the Qing Dynasty.

Although he had such a glorious resume, Zuo Menggeng was deeply wary of this person.

Humans are the most complex creatures in the world.

When facing aliens, Liu Yuanqing could fight bravely and sacrifice his life for the country. But that does not mean that he is a good person.

It can be seen from what he just said that this guy is ready to kill people and take credit for it.

Although Zuo Mengeng and others were his saviors, a soldier leader would not be so kind at all.

After Zuo Mengeng guessed it correctly, Liu Yuanqing was really thinking about how to take the credit for himself.

The number of thieves wiped out in this battle was at least two thousand, which was almost twice his troop strength. In any case, it was a great achievement after reporting them.

The only pity is that it was Zuo Menggeng and others who truly accomplished the task of breaking the formation and determining the outcome.

If there weren't these people...

Liu Yuanqing's eyes flashed fiercely, ready to take action at any time.

Then he heard Zuo Mengeng's words.

"General Liu is polite, my subordinate is Zuo Mengeng, and my family Yan is the commander of Liaodong Cheyou Camp, Zuo Ba Kunshan."

Zuo Mengeng decided to take a gamble and bet on the time difference.

The Ningyuan Mutiny caused an uproar across the country and attracted everyone's attention. But when an officer like Zuo Liangyu was dismissed, the news might not spread so quickly.

"What? You are not gangsters?"

Liu Zeqing was shocked and annoyed.

Sure enough, he didn't know that Zuo Liangyu was among the officers being dealt with in Liaodong. Otherwise, Zuo Menggeng's declaration of his family status would not scare him.

It's different now.

Liaodong...

Cheyouying...

Dusi...

Liu Yuanqing thought about it for a moment and realized that he couldn't afford to offend him.

After the collapse of the guard system and the rise of the recruitment system, the officer system of the Ming Dynasty became extremely chaotic.

Dusi was originally the abbreviation of Dusi Commander, who was a high-ranking official and a very important figure. Later he became a mid-level officer, spread throughout the army.

But the problem is that Dusi's authority does not have a fixed scope. When he was young, he was inconspicuous, but when he was old, he was scary to death.

This military position can be promoted from General Commander, Conduct Officer, Thousand Commander, and Guard, and can also take charge of the functions of Staff General and guerrilla.

Logically speaking, as a guerrilla general, Liu Yuanqing need not fear Dusi.

But to Zuo Liangyu, he was equivalent to the commander of the local second-line army, facing the battalion commander of the combined reinforced battalion of the field army.

Can it be compared?

Can't compare.

Just when he regretted that he could not be greedy for merit, Zuo Mengeng added another straw.

Zuo Menggen pointed at Miss Xu and said, "This is the rich man of Xu Xuan, the minister of rites. We encountered bandits on the road and ran all the way. Fortunately, the general came to our rescue. I am really grateful."

Liu Yuanqing gave up completely.

If being the son of a governor only made him hesitate, then he couldn't afford to offend the relatives of the Minister of Rites.

In the Ming Dynasty, the civil servants of the seventh rank could make life worse than death for the generals of the first rank. The Minister of Rites was a high official of the third rank, and it was only a matter of one word to kill him.

Even so, Zuo Mengeng still gave the credit to Liu Yuanqing.

He is a family member of a military general, not an officer. No matter how many enemies he kills, he has no merit to claim.

Rather than doing this, it would be better to blame it all on Liu Yuanqing.

This hellish place is full of chaos and chaos, and there is nothing that can be done by a general who leads the troops.

Liu Yuanqing was so pleasantly surprised that he saluted Miss Xu, and his attitude changed 180 degrees.

"This great victory is all thanks to the help of my virtuous nephew. Come on, my uncle will arrange a banquet for us to celebrate. I also want Miss Xu to take a bath and change clothes to take away the pain of running around."

Look, "you" has become "nephew".

As he spoke, his eyes kept wandering back and forth between Zuo Mengeng and Miss Xu, which was very ambiguous.

Zuo Menggeng and Miss Xu are similar in age, one is tall and handsome, the other is tall and beautiful, and they seem to be a perfect match.

Although Liu Yuanqing didn't think that a son of a Dusi could rise to the rank of Minister of Rites, in this chaotic time, young men and women depend on each other to escape. Who knows whether they will end up fighting each other?

Even if it is investing in potential stocks, Liu Yuanqing is still willing to spend money.

Facing his ambiguous gaze, Zuo Mengeng was very calm. After all, his heart was flawless and he was naturally beautiful.

But Miss Xu blushed, and for some reason, her delicate buttocks felt numb again.

"lecher……"

Miss Xu looked at Zuo Mengeng with angry eyes, which made Liu Yuanqing think astray.

He laughed loudly and was about to lead the way first, but a horse came galloping in the distance. The soldiers on the horse were about to fall apart if they ran away.

"Report, the bandit leader Wu Shenglian took seven thousand people and broke into Nanpi County last night. The county magistrate, county magistrate, chief bookkeeper and other officials were all killed."

"oops!"

Liu Yuanqing fainted on the spot.

Zuo Mengeng had just helped him backstab the bandit, but in the blink of an eye, the bandit gave him a bigger stab in the back.

Who can bear it if the spring water is stolen?

The personal guards rushed up and rescued Liu Yuanqing with all their hands and feet before Liu Yuanqing regained consciousness.

Needless to say, the celebration party was cancelled.

Liu Yuanqing was like a dead tree, his soul was lost, and his thoughts of flattering senior officials had already flown to nowhere.

For a general like him, losing a city and losing territory would cost him his head.

When Liu Yuanqing thought that he would lose his head soon, he was filled with despair and his laughter was uglier than his crying.

"My dear nephew, Miss Xu, I'm sorry. I'm in a precarious situation right now and I don't have time to entertain you two. You can go on your own."

Zuo Mengeng didn't leave, and Miss Xu didn't dare to leave. She knew she had to follow Zuo Mengeng to survive.

"Uncle Liu, I'm afraid there's room for discussion on this matter."

The land of Jifu is full of bandits, and now that they have finally managed to sneak in with the officers and soldiers, Zuo Mengeng doesn't want to be in danger again no matter what.

"Uncle Liu must have been sent by Shangguan when he went out to fight in the city. In this case, the sin of losing the city and losing the land cannot be attributed to uncle."

Liu Yuanqing's face became a little more angry, and then he sighed.

"My dear nephew, I don't know. Although I left the city on a mission from the superior officer, the superior officer will not tell me whether I lost the city or lost the land. Unless..."

Unless you bribe the superior with a large sum of money, you can save your life.

But Nanpi County fell, and all of Liu Yuanqing's wealth was in the city. How could he save it?

With the virtue of a Ming Dynasty bureaucrat, how could he speak for him without giving him generous gifts?

How many people may be watching this Nanpi guerrilla location.

Is there no other way?

No.

Zuo Mengeng felt that Liu Yuanqing still had a chance to make a comeback.

Furthermore, in his memory, since Liu Yuanqing was able to become the commander-in-chief of Linqing later, he would definitely save the day this time.

What he has to do is to exert influence and gain Liu Yuanqing's gratitude, which will be of great use in the future.

"Uncle Liu, my nephew has been fighting with the bandits for several days. In my opinion, there is a good chance of retaking the county seat."

If Liu Yuanqing wanted to save his life, in addition to bribing Shangguan, there was another way to take back the county seat.

Recovering lost ground is also one of the achievements.

Liu Yuanqing was like a drowning man who immediately came to life after hearing that he was being saved.

He grabbed Zuo Mengeng, his humble attitude was really eye-catching.
