"Yes, the small one thanked General Zhennan for the reward, and the small one retired." After hearing that there was a silver reward, the messenger who was still tired immediately showed a happy smile and hurriedly retreated.

"Ladies and gentlemen, did you understand what the messenger said?" At this time, Niu Hulu. Fu Sen asked the people sitting down with some emotion.

There are still many people who do not understand Niu Hulu when they sit down. When Fu Sen wanted to express something, he heard Aixin Jueluo. Yongqi asked with a puzzled suspicion: "What General Zhennan said about the thief leader coming to Xiangcheng?" ”

"Fifth Elder Brother is right, what I am referring to is the arrival of the thief leader." Niu Hulu. Fu Sen looked at Aixin Jueluo. Yongqi nodded in satisfaction and praised.

"Everyone knows that the thief army can grow to this extent is inseparable from the thief Zhang Rui. If he is hiding in Jiangning Mansion now, then it will probably take a lot of effort for us to exterminate this gang of thieves. ”

However, this thief leader actually came to Xiangcheng without knowing whether he was alive or dead. This is an opportunity, and a godsend. Do you think what would happen if the thief leader was captured and killed by our army in this battle? "Niu Hulu. Fu Sen suppressed the excitement in his heart and said slowly.

Niu Hulu. The implicit meaning of Fu Sen's words can't help but make Aixin Jueluo. Yongqi's eyes lit up, and he replied excitedly: "If the head of the thief dies, then there will be a big mess inside this gang of anti-thieves." Then they will attack each other for power, and we will be able to reap the benefits. ”

"The fifth elder brother is right, as long as there is a big fight, we can pull a wave and break them each other. In this way, it is much simpler to level the thief. "Niu Hulu. Fu Sen chimed in.

"General Zhennan and the fifth elder brother said it too well, that's what happened..." As soon as Fu Sen's words fell, a voice in the conference hall immediately echoed his words.

"That's it, God really favored my Qing Empire. Since the leader of the thieves is dead, it is the time for the death of this gang of thieves..."

"Yes, yes... In that case, it will be easy to exterminate this gang of thieves..."

……

Looking at the joy of sitting down, Aixin Jueluo. Yongqi was also very happy, however, suddenly, as if he had thought of something again, he frowned and looked at Niu Hulu. Fu Sen opened his mouth and asked, "General Zhennan's idea is indeed good, but how are we going to capture and kill the thief leader?" ”

"Well, Fifth Elder Brother asked well. That's where we come in. "Being able to stay awake at all times, so that Niu Hulu. Fu Sen faced Aixin Jueluo. Yongqi nodded again and praised.

"Do you have any good proposals?" Niu Hulu. Fu Sen asked as he sat down.

"It's hard..."

"It's hard..."

At this time, the generals of the green battalion below began to talk in a broken voice. However, no one dared to speak out in response to Niu Hulu. Fu Sen.

"How can it be so easy, this gang of thieves is already strong, not to mention the guards of the thief leader..."

"Not to mention, I've fought a lot with anti-thieves, and it's really difficult to deal with such anti-thieves. To tell you the truth, it was really difficult for the weak soldiers under me to defeat them, and now I can only hope that the Manchurian cavalry will be able to defeat them..."

"I think so, only the cavalry of the Eight Banners can reproduce the might of the Qing Dynasty..."

………

Although he was a little angry when he heard the whispers of the generals of the Green Battalion below, Niu Hulu. Fu Sen couldn't get angry.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but he doesn't dare.

After all, most of the generals of the green battalion were caught up by the thieves from the south to the north, and it is normal to have fear in their hearts. If you force them to be anxious because of some trivial things, and they go to the side of the thieves, they will become the criminals of the Great Qing Kingdom.

Moreover, Niu Hulu. Fu Sen now doesn't expect this group of Green Battalion generals who have been scared by the thief army, as long as they don't make trouble and help themselves to involve the anti-thief forces.

After all, the current priority is to solve the anti-thieves first, as for such a guy who dares to work and does not contribute, after the anti-thieves are pacified, there can be a "settlement after the autumn".

"My Qing Dynasty still has to be guarded by my elite Eight Banners disciples." The cowardice of the generals of the green battalion at the bottom made Niu Hulu. Fu Sen had to think in his heart.

"He Dutong, what do you think about the capture and killing of the thief Shou Zhang Rui?" Seeing that no one answered at the bottom, Niu Hulu. Fu Sen had no choice but to look at the Xiaoqi battalion he brought from Jilin by name. He Mueller asked.

"General Zhennan, a slave is a rough man, and I can't think of any good ideas for the time being. The minions obey the general's orders, and the minions will fight wherever the general tells them to fight. Even if he fights for the life of a minion, the minion will never back down. "Eji. He Mueller replied.

"Well... Lord He's loyalty to the country is commendable, and after the war, he will be on the court. "Niu Hulu. Fu Sen faced Eji. He Mueller approved, and motioned for him to sit back.

"Ah Gui, what do you think about this?" Niu Hulu. Fu Sen continued.

"Back to General Zhennan, the slave thought that the art of war has always been cloudy: to coincide, to win. If you want to capture and kill the thief leader, you must make a surprise attack. "By Niu Hulu. Zhang Jia named by Fu Sen. Gui replied.

"Well, yes, go on." Niu Hulu. Fu Sen nodded approvingly.

"Yes, General." ZHANG Jia. Gui continued.

"It has been said since ancient times that the thief captures the king first. We understand this truth, and even if the thief is ignorant, it is impossible not to understand this truth. ”

"Therefore, the slave thinks that if you want to surprise attack and kill the thief leader, you must first weaken the guards around the thief leader as much as possible. And if you want to weaken these guards, you must put enough pressure on the thief army on the frontal battlefield so that the thief leader can send more guards around him. When the time comes, we will intersperse the battlefield with cavalry charges, and we will definitely be able to surprise the anti-thieves. ”

"Well... Gui had a good idea. Do you have any other good ideas? "Niu Hulu. Fu Sen praised with great joy, then looked at the people sitting down and continued to ask.

Although everyone sat down and talked about it, they didn't have any particularly good ideas. The next few high-ranking officials and generals named by Fu Sen were only in Zhang Jia. Gui added some comments to his observations.

Niu Hulu. Fu Sen saw that everyone had no good advice when he sat down, so he talked to Fucha again. After discussing for a while, Fu Heng and the others decided:

On the condition of abandoning the Eastern Route Army to deal with the anti-thieves, or even acquiescing in the abandonment of several cities in the east, it is just to drag down the footsteps of the anti-thief Eastern Route Army with the minimum number of troops. The entire Jiangnan bandit battalion went all out to attack the anti-thief Southwest Route Army, in order to kill the thief Zhang Rui in Xiangcheng.
