Chapter 213 Liu Liangzuo Meets with the Qing Envoy

South Zhili, Fengyang Mansion, Shou County.

With King Qin's soldiers returning south one after another, Liu Liangzuo also returned to Nanzhi, and set up his station in Shou County, controlling Bozhou, Guoyang, Mengcheng, Yingchuan, Huoqiu and other places in the northwest of Nanzhili. Adjacent to Gao Yihuan's territory.

Because Gao Yihuan and Liu Liangzuo reached an agreement after the Battle of Bozhou, the two sides have lived in peace for more than a year.

At this time, in a big house in Shou County, Liu Liangzuo was lying comfortably on a rattan chair, basking in the sun, and several women around him were serving him and eating the freshly picked fruits.

A man dressed as a scribe stood aside and reported to Liu Liangzuo, "Marshal, according to the information obtained by the humble officer, the group of bandits who went to Shandong was not only Liu Shun from Guide, Gao Yihuan should also be involved, and it is still The leader."

Liu Liangzuo sat up from the rattan chair, waved his hand to get the maid to step aside, "Why do you say that?"

"Because of the number of horses, Liu Shun only has about [-] horses, while Gao Yihuan has at least [-] horses." The scribe said, "This can also be seen from the beans and other horse feed that Gao Yihuan bought from us. Clue."

"You Gao Yihuan!" Liu Liangzuo was furious after hearing this, "It really is him!"

Originally, Liu Liangzuo was quite satisfied with Gao Yihuan, but after King Qin came back, Liu Liangzuo heard some news that Gao Yihuan was the group of bandits who attacked the Qing army's camp, which made Liu Liangzuo a little angry.

"This white-eyed wolf actually gave the head to the irrelevant Huang Chuangzi, and not to me!" Liu Liangzuo was full of resentment, feeling very hurt in his heart.

For more than a year, the two have been living in peace, Liu Liangzuo also turned a blind eye to Gao Yihuan's smuggling business.

Although the two had never met, Liu Liangzuo already regarded Gao Yihuan as one of his own and cherished him.

It's like a woman who likes a man, and after paying a lot, suddenly finds that this man accepts her favors, but he is thinking of other women in his heart, hooking up with other women behind her back, and giving the best things to him. If it is given to another woman, her mentality will be broken immediately.

Now Liu Liangzuo's mentality is like this, almost becoming a bitter woman.

This time, Huang Chuangzi became the earl with the head he got, but Liu Liangzuo only got a little gold and silver awards, which made him very upset.

At this time, the titles of the Ming Dynasty were still very valuable, and Emperor Chongzhen easily refused to confer titles.

Wu Sangui only got a Ping Xibo before the fall of Beijing, and Zuo Liangyu only became an earl in 17 years.

"Gao Yihuan, this bitch, is the one who facilitated his smuggling business. He even sent troops to escort the caravan. What did Huang Chuangzi give him? How could he be so shameless!" Liu Liangzuo became more and more angry as he thought about it.

At this moment, when Liu Liangzuo was angry, a soldier suddenly rushed over and whispered in his ear.

Liu Liangzuo stood up from the rattan chair with a "bass" after listening.

He frowned and pondered for a while, raised his head and waved his hands, making the scribes and maidservants retreat, and then commanded the soldiers with a serious face: "Take them to the living room and don't let anyone see them. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" The soldier clasped his fists in salute, and hurriedly withdrew.

Liu Liangzuo walked back and forth in the yard for a few steps, sorted out his clothes, and hurried to the living room.

At this moment, he just sat down in the living room, not long after, the personal guard led the two of them in.

Liu Liangzuo couldn't help but look serious when he saw someone coming, but the one who came in had a smile on his face, and took off the hat on his head as he walked, revealing his blue scalp, and behind his head was a pigtail like a mouse's tail.

"Brother, don't come here without any problems!" When the visitor saw Liu Liangzuo, his eyes were squeezed into a line by a smiling face.

Seeing someone coming, Liu Liangzuo said in a deep voice, "How did you come back? Don't you know how dangerous this is?"

While speaking, Liu Liangzuo had already stood up, walked to the center of the hall, and carefully sized up the person who came, "Liangchen! We haven't seen each other for more than ten years."

Liu Liangchen also looked at Liu Liangzuo, and said with a smile, "Yes! I haven't seen you for 12 years. You are still a supporter of the water and soil in the pass, and the eldest brother is still the same!"

The person who came was none other than Liu Liangzuo's brother Liu Liangchen. He was originally a guerrilla from the Ming Dynasty, but he joined the Qing army as early as 1631, and it has been more than ten years since then.

At the beginning of Liu Liangchen's surrender to the Qing Dynasty, the snobbery of the Ming Dynasty was still very strong. Liu Liangzuo and Liu Liangchen did not dare to have any contact with each other for fear of being punished by the court.

In recent years, the national power of the Ming Dynasty declined, and the two brothers wrote some letters to each other through a Shanxi businessman, but this was the first time they met.

Looking at Liu Liangcheng who suddenly appeared in front of him, Liu Liangzuo was still very happy, but he was also a little nervous. After all, Liu Liangchen had already surrendered, and if someone found out, he would definitely be implicated.

At that moment Liu Liangzuo gave the guard a wink, the guard understood and immediately went to close the gate and called the soldiers to guard the gate.

Liu Liangchen couldn't help laughing when he saw it, "Brother, the entire Shou County is under your control, are you still afraid that someone will harm our brothers?"

But Liu Liangzuo shook his head, "It's better to be careful, my brother is in Shou County, and he hasn't reached the point where he can cover the sky with one hand."

Speaking of this, Liu Liangzuo looked at Liu Liangchen and the person behind him, "The customs are heavily guarded, you risked your life and came to see me in Shou County, but what's the matter?"

Liu Liangchen suppressed the smirk on his face, turned around and introduced, "Brother, this is Fan Sanba, the young owner of the Fan family in Jiexiu, Shanxi!"

The fat man behind him immediately bowed and saluted, "I've seen you, Commander."

Jiexiu Fan's family, Liu Liangzuo knew about it, and was quite familiar with it. He also entrusted the Fan family's business name to send the letters between him and Liu Liangchen, and he also gave the Fan family some convenience.

Liu Liangzuo nodded, looked at Liu Liangchen and waited for him to continue.

"Brother, we are brothers. There is nothing to hide, so I'll get straight to the point." Liu Liangchen pursed his lips and said, "In the first half of this year, Baylor Abata was chased all the way from Shandong to Huangyakou by you, big brother. Almost all food and livestock are discarded. Big brother knows this!"'

Liu Liangzuo nodded, already somewhat understanding Liu Liangchen's meaning, "Of course I know about this matter!"

Liu Liangchen then continued: "Brother, you know the weather outside the pass. When it's cold, nothing will grow. Although the territory controlled by the Qing Dynasty is large, it doesn't produce much grain. This time, Lord Baylor didn't bring any grain back. , it was not easy, so the emperor let me enter the customs, hoping to buy a batch of food to go out. After thinking about it, my brother had to ask my brother for help!"
