Sun Dayong obviously didn't expect that his departure would affect many people.

But if he didn't leave, he wouldn't survive the dawn.

At dawn, a team of dozens of Qing riders roared into Shijiazhuang from north to south, and then stopped at the gate of the county ya.

The garrison officer who led the team didn't say a word, barely asked, and looked at the yacha who ran out of the yamen to greet them, Huo Ran waved his right hand.

The rain of arrows nailed all the dazed-looking officials to the yamen, and they didn't even have time to ask and call for help.

It is said that it is not that it is not reported, the time has not come, this scene is so familiar, it just happened in front of the warehouse door of Sun Dayong's grocery store a day ago, and the officials of Shijiazhuang never thought that they would die so inexplicably.

Perhaps the Qing troops stationed outside the city also received a secret report that the yacha had become disloyal, or perhaps it was simply because they were ...... Glad!

Do you need a reason to kill?

The difference between beasts and humans is that Tartars don't need a reason to kill people, especially when the two countries are at war, killing people of other races is a crime.

I don't know why I died until I die, and only these people who have turned their backs on their own nation will have this death.

Because at least those who resisted, they knew why they died.

The Qing soldiers cleaned up the county government, the chickens and dogs were not left, and even the county commander who didn't even have time to put on the official robe, so he staggered out to meet him, and he also fell under this round of arrows, and when he fell, his face was full of panic, his mouth was wide open, and the doubts and despair in his eyes were embarrassing.

The Qing soldiers were still unsatisfied, and set fire to the grocery store that Sun Dayong was taking care of, but on the street, the shops were connected, and this fire instantly ignited the surrounding shops and houses.

Sadly, after the fire was raging and the Qing soldiers roared away, the people along the street did not dare to put out the fire, they could only cry and cry out, and sit back and watch the fire engulf them may be their only place to live.

The fire burned all day, and it was not until another night, when it rained heavily, that it gradually went out, burning down an entire row of shops and houses on one side of the street, and killing no less than 100 ......people.

……。

These two days are the most "free" time for Wu Zheng.

Lu Zhiyu led Wu Songwei to Huai'an Mansion and was sent to Liu Lingtai to change his defense.

At this time, the tactical deployment of the Northern Expeditionary Army was to garrison Qingjiangpu with 5,000 people from the Taizhou Wei First Battalion, and the rest to garrison the West and North Second Gates; Wu Songwei's first battalion was stationed at Liu Lingtai, and the rest were stationed at the east gate, serving each other as horns and helping each other.

Wu Zheng sat in Huai'an City and began to mobilize the people in the city and the original Huai'an and Dahe Erwei to surrender their troops and cooperate to defend the city.

However, the Huai'an and Dahe Second Guards surrendered to the army, and Zu Dabi was there, and they were mobilized smoothly, but the elite among the people who could be recruited was cold.

Before Taizhou Wei was arrested in the whole city, thousands of people were arrested, and hundreds of people were killed.

If Wu Zheng hadn't seen the opportunity and ordered the grain reserves of the wealthy families in the city to be "borrowed" and distributed to the people, I am afraid that in two days, the city would have become a pot of porridge.

But to appease the poor, but offend those rich households, Huai'an, Dahewei establishment, has been decades long, in Huai'an City is intertwined. More than half of the city's population is Erwei's family, and the rest are mostly merchants and coolies hired by them.

Once these people don't react, then Wu Zheng can't be mobilized at all unless he kills people.

But can Wu Zheng kill?

With this killing, the hatred will grow deeper until it becomes irreconcilable.

This step is very unbearable, both in the immediate and in the long run.

Wu Zheng had no choice but to pass on his ancestor Dabi to discuss the method.

It's not trust, it's ...... Limited compromises.

……。

"See His Royal Highness King Wu." Zu Dabi, who was called, saluted without humility or arrogance.

Obviously, he guessed Wu Zheng's intention in summoning him.

In two days, the city recruited people, strong, and the progress was slow, and Zu Dabi knew very well in his heart.

Kezu Dabi chose to sit back and watch.

It's not that Zu Dabi has different ambitions, but the matter of rations and the smuggling away from the second guard before, Zu Dabi's prestige in the second guard is really enough.

In addition to the people in the second guard that he treated well, at least more than half of the second guard soldiers no longer bird him at all.

At this time, the only thing Zu Dabi could do was to appease the army and prevent the new Huai'an guards under his command from becoming chaotic.

"Commander Zu, the intention of this king to summon you, you must have guessed it in your heart...... Tell me, what's the best idea? Wu Zheng said very mildly, such a battle to defend the city has indeed never been fought.

Since the dispatch of troops from Shaoxing Prefecture, there have been a lot of disadvantaged battles, but the local people are often supportive, although there are also some "discordant" voices, but they are all in the minority.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the Qing court was already "Zhengshuo", and the Northern Expeditionary Army was more like a grass attacker.

This is just out of Yangzhou Mansion, Wu Zheng can even feel that the further north, the greater this invisible pressure will be, which makes Wu Zheng unreasonably melancholy the backwardness of communication in this era, and even limited propaganda can't be done.

At the moment, the propaganda is afraid that it is too late, Wu Zheng has been worried that Dolgon has a hidden backhand, and the enemy will appear at any time, and now, the people in the city who could have cooperated to defend the city are hostile to the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Zu Dabi shook his head slightly and replied: "If you are not willing to serve King Wu, there is really nothing you can do...... In the previous war, he offended the whole city with his humble position in rations, but unfortunately...... After the city was broken, our army was hunting and killing all over the city, at this time, it was impossible to win the hearts of the people, if it wasn't for the prince who saw the opportunity and distributed food, I am afraid that the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

Wu Zheng was a little disappointed, he understood that Zu Dabi was telling the truth.

"Then there's no other way...... I had to take a chance. ”

Zu Dabi was surprised: "The prince has a good plan? ”

Wu Zheng shook his head slightly and said, "It's not a good idea...... At best, it's a mediocre ploy. ”

"Please also ask the prince to give advice."

Wu Zheng looked at Zu Dabi and said slowly: "Our army is not without the strength to fight, the key is that it lost its front hand and was cut off from the reinforcements in the south by the enemy's cavalry...... If a passage can be opened so that the supporting army can successfully land in Taixing, then the center blossoms and may be able to change the situation of the battle in an instant. ”

Zu Dabi has been on the battlefield for a long time, and after listening to the first half of the sentence, he can guess Wu Zheng's intentions, but Zu Dabi is silent, because he is really hesitant in his heart.

Wu Zheng stared at Zu Dabi's face and continued: "The Northern Expeditionary Army has no cavalry, unless it has an absolute superiority in troops, it is impossible to resist the enemy cavalry head-on in the field, but even if there are superior forces, in the face of highly mobile cavalry, the casualties will never be small...... This king is thinking, you have a lot of cavalry under your command, I wonder if the ancestral commander can give it a try? ”
