Zhang Guowei said: "The prince used the Guangxinwei rebellion as an excuse to attack the three prefectures of Fengyang, Anqing, and Luzhou, in fact, it is already very dangerous, after all, the Qing court is not good at stubble, how can it knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach and suffer a secret loss?" Fortunately, although we have not obtained Fengyang Mansion now, the two mansions of Anqing and Luzhou are already in the hands ......of our army, so it is reasonable for the Qing court to react to this. ”

Wu Zheng said angrily: "What do you mean, take Huai'an and the Qing court for Anqing and Luzhou?" Lao Tzu does not change ...... What do you think?! ”

Zhang Guowei made a face and said unashamedly: "The prince misunderstood, what the minister meant...... What if you add Fengyang Mansion? ”

Wu Zheng was stunned.

Zhang Guowei continued: "The enemy launched an attack from the three directions of Tianchang, Shuyang, and Haizhou, which seemed to be fierce, but in fact it lacked stamina...... Does the prince think that the Qing court's current life is better than ours? Therefore, the minister thought that the Qing court's attack in these three directions was still a feint, and their real intention was still in Fengyang Mansion...... Lord Wang, the main reason for this incident is that Guangxinwei broke the balance between the two dynasties. ”

Wu Zheng said angrily: "It's just Zhuge afterwards, and this king didn't expect that Dolbo's kid would wear a pair of pants with Fulin...... Besides, the Northern Expedition is not afraid of war, and if the enemy dares to attack, this king will dare to fight back! ”

Zhang Guowei had no choice but to take a step back and stop talking.

Xiong Rulin stepped forward and said: "Lord Wang, the ministers do not want to prevent the prince from using troops to the north, but the prince should know that once the Yangtze River is crossed, the supply of our army will be in trouble, and a stone of grain will be transported to the north of the river, and the loss will be as high as forty percent, or even more than half of ......." ”

"You can let the sailor move." Wu Zheng said in a deep voice.

Xiong Rulin was stunned, thinking that the loss of the sailor division would be greater, how could the officers and soldiers of the sailor division who received a monthly salary of six taels be compared with the much cheaper hired laborers? But Xiong Rulin has never been good at arguing, so he also learned from Zhang Guowei and retreated.

This time, Wu Zheng took the initiative to find Zhang Huangyan, "Zhang Cangshui, you take care of things on weekdays, why don't you speak today?" ”

Zhang Huangyan really didn't want to speak, he always thought that he was not as good as Wu Zheng in military affairs, and he also believed in what Wu Zheng said, and professional matters should be handed over to professional people.

But now that he has been named by Wu Zheng, Zhang Huangyan had no choice but to step forward and say a few words, "Minister...... It is also believed that this is not a good opportunity to start a war, Huai'an Mansion is adjacent to Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Fengyang, and these three prefectures are all occupied by the enemy, that is to say, Huai'an Mansion is virtually a battlefield. ”

These words made everyone present nod in agreement, and yes, it is strange to be surrounded by three mansions.

Zhang Huangyan continued: "What is the purpose of the enemy's attack on Haizhou? Are you planning a decisive battle with our army? Obviously, this is unlikely, and now that the Qing court is shrinking its forces and even withdrawing the Northwest Army to the east, how dare they engage our army in full swing? Therefore, on this point, the minister agreed with Zhang Gong's statement that the Qing court still wanted to encircle Wei to save Zhao and decompose the situation in Fengyang Mansion passively...... Of course, it is not denied that after the Qing court succeeded in attacking Haizhou, it used Huai'an Mansion to exchange Luzhou and Anqing with us. ”

Wu Zheng fell silent, his words did make sense.

The Qing court did not have the strength to fight a decisive battle.

Wu Zheng turned his head to the map, and the three points that were being attacked circled by Zhu Bi formed a line from north to south.

At this time, Mo Zhi stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, this battle really shouldn't be fought." ”

Wu Zhengtou didn't reply and said: "Whether you fight or not, you don't count what you say." ”

Mo Zhinian smiled bitterly: "The old man doesn't understand military affairs, so naturally he doesn't count what he said, but the prince should know that we can't afford to fight this battle anymore...... The prince also said that when the cannon goes off, there are 10,000 taels of gold, how can we afford so many thousands of taels of gold? ”

Wu Zheng turned his head in a daze, and looked at Mo Zhi in amazement, is there such an explanation for this?

In Wu Zheng's understanding, as soon as the cannon sounded, there were 10,000 taels of gold, which was "taken" from someone else, but as soon as Mo Obsession said it, it became a cannon sound, and he had to pay 10,000 taels of gold out.

But slowly calm down, Mo Obsession also makes sense, fighting a war is indeed a money-burning thing, cannonballs, paper bullets, and human lives, all of which are costly.

Wu Zheng eased his tone, and discussed with Mo Zhi in a consultative tone: "Lone knows the embarrassment of the financial secretary, but Mo Lao, everyone has bullied us, we have to show our heads, right?" Haizhou Jiang Quanyi and five or six thousand officers and soldiers are waiting for us to save them, judging from the battle situation, the reinforcements are too late, so they have to be redeemed from the enemy, right? My Mo Lao, don't you forget, the Tartars have spent money to redeem people from the hands of this king, okay, now that feng shui is taking turns, the enemy must not squeeze us to death? How much silver does that cost? ”

Mo Zhinian opened his mouth slightly, looking at Wu Zheng in a daze.

Wu Zheng said: "So, we have to find a way...... As long as we have prisoners in our hands, then we will have to talk about it, one for one, or even two for one, who will make the lives of our soldiers valuable? ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, this prince's idea was really wild.

But Wu Zheng suddenly changed his words, "This battle must be fought, not only to fight, but also to fight bigger, to make the scene sufficient, to destroy one or twenty thousand people, the enemy will be honest, and then you will have to rely on the princes to negotiate ......." ”

The more Mo obsessed with listening, the more wrong it became, and he had to remind: "Lord Wang, I'm afraid that the financial secretary can't even make up the money for the army...... ”

Wu Zheng's face changed, and he said coldly: "This king knows Mo Lao's difficulties, and he has also heard some rumors...... Please tell them that this king has never been a gentleman, and he has never read too many books, don't force this king to be rude! ”

Mo Zhiyi's whole body trembled because of this, cold sweat quickly seeped out from his forehead, and he wanted to say something, but for a while, his lips squirmed, and he couldn't say it.

Wu Zheng ignored him, but turned his head to Xiong Rulin and the others: "The princes are also people who have led soldiers, and the battle has not started, so it is easy to say anything, let's be reasonable." But once the fight starts, there is no reason to talk about it, is it that the soldiers are fighting for their lives, and we still have to discuss whether the soldiers' killing methods are cruel or not? Lords, this is war...... There is no right or wrong, only victory or defeat! ”

"Order, according to the previous order of this king, immediately carry it out." Wu Zheng said firmly, "All merits and demerits are right and wrong, and it is not too late to argue after the war...... Send a message to Li Guo, from now on, you don't have to hide your purpose, if you lose Dingyuan, come and see you! ”

"Your Ministers obey."

Mo obsessively looked at Wu Zheng, he suddenly realized that Wu Zheng in front of him was no longer the young Qianhu who was reasonable six years ago, and unconsciously, he had grown into a mature commander, he was no longer easily affected by the advice of others, and only transferred by his own will.

Mo Zhinian suddenly realized that maybe the scene by the West Lake had already been reported to Wu Zheng by Chang Lin Wei.
