Wu Zheng wondered if Dolgon still had a trail, but he couldn't think of where Dolgon's trail would be for a while.

But there must be!

Because Huai'an and Yancheng were used as chopping boards to block the northern expeditionary army's northward advance, and the enemy cavalry in Fengyang Mansion was used as a blockade to cut off the retreat of the Northern Expeditionary Army, then, who would be in charge?

Once the two guards of Taizhou and Wusong join the division, the strength will reach more than 40,000 people, although the supply has been cut off, they can occupy the city of Huai'an, and hold it for seven or eight days, there should be no problem, seven or eight days, enough time for the first army of the Northern Expedition to transport heavy firearms ashore with the cooperation of the naval division, so that not only the siege of Huai'an can be solved, but also the enemy cavalry that cut off the retreat can be encircled.

Obviously, Dolgon must have prepared a knife against Taizhou and Wu Songwei.

It's a pity that Wu Zheng's head hurts when he thinks about it, and he still can't think of where Dolgon's knife is hidden.

This made Wu Zheng's state of mind suspicious.

He felt that it could be that Zu Dabi was this knife, first resisted stubbornly, but he couldn't hold it anymore, so he surrendered and surrendered, and then used his army to cooperate with the outside of the city.

There are many unreasonable points in this analysis, such as the suddenness of the destruction of the city this time, such as the suddenness of Jiang Quanyi's success in intercepting Zu Dabi, etc., but Wu Zheng is still digging into the horns, because he can't find Dorgon's back.

Jiang Quanyi saw that Wu Zheng was silent for a long time, and said hurriedly: "Lord Wang, the longer this matter drags on, the more the army will be distracted, and it will be more detrimental to stabilizing the army's ......." ”

Wu Zheng suddenly spoke: "Do you know Huang Gai?" Don't you think it's strange that a veteran in his sixties like Zu Dabi surrendered easily? Was he hurt and frightened to surrender, or did he have a heart that was loyal to the country and the nation? On the other hand, he resisted so stubbornly at the head of Nancheng, do you really think that if he is captured by you, he can force more than 6,000 soldiers to surrender easily? ”

Three questions in a row made Jiang Quanyi's face change, and when you think about it, it is really frightening.

If Zu Dabi is a wall grass, then that's it, those who know the times are junjie, and in order to save their lives, it is reasonable to surrender.

Kezu Dabi is obviously not a grass on the wall, and at the same time, he was captured by himself, and in hindsight, he has a mysterious feeling that a master general actually led several horses to meet him, which is very illogical.

What kind of people and things are worthy of Zu Dabi ignoring the rules of the army, personally meeting him, and then being easily captured by himself?

These doubts became clearer and clearer under Wu Zheng's three consecutive questions.

Jiang Quanyi was shocked and said, "What does the prince mean...... Zu Dabi was deliberately captured and deliberately surrendered? ”

Wu Zheng sighed and said: "This war, it seems that this king started it, but in fact, every step is in the calculation of the enemy, until now, I still can't see the whole leopard...... It is a matter of life and death for tens of thousands of soldiers, and it is related to the great cause of the Northern Expedition. ”

Jiang Quanyi arched his hand and said: "It's the last general who is reckless...... If you don't know the etiquette, please punish the prince. ”

"What did you blame?" Wu Zheng glanced at Jiang Quanyi, "I still remember the crime of disobedience, this collision is considered small...... That's right, don't worry if there are more lice. ”

Jiang Quanyi's face turned red, and he said, "The last general knows that he is wrong." ”

Admitting his mistake, Jiang Quanyi raised his head, "Since this guy is a fraud, then don't blame us for being unjust, the last general will go and cut him!" ”

Wu Zheng said angrily: "What, at this time, you are not worried that the Taizhou guards will die in vain?" That's more than 6,000 veterans of a hundred battles, not more than 6,000 pigs to be slaughtered by you...... Besides, there is no evidence for this matter, if the wrong killing is made, will it not be possible to reduce the righteousness of the Han people in the future? ”

Jiang Quanyi was dumbfounded, "That...... So what to do? ”

"What to do? Chilled salad! I don't know you yet, Taizhou Wei has suffered huge casualties this time, and you have long been greedy for these more than 6,000 people. Of course, you should be more greedy for Zu Dabi, you are too proud to be able to hold such a battlefield veteran under your command. You don't want to think about it, can you get close to such a person? Wu Zheng scolded him, "This king originally thought that if he surrendered, the army would be disbanded on the spot, and if he wanted to be an official, he would go to the rear to be an idle man...... But after saying a few words before, he would rather die than stay, which made the king uneasy. ”

Jiang Quanyi's face was flushed when he was trained, and he thought for a while: "Why don't you come down first, and then find an opportunity to set up a Hongmen banquet, and you will ...... unknowingly Chop off his head? ”

Wu Zheng rolled his eyes and said, "I didn't expect it, in fact, you are more villain than the old horse!" ”

Jiang Quanyi became embarrassed, and said twice: "I'm targeting the wicked ......." ”

It was really inappropriate to drag it out, Wu Zheng finally made a decision, "Back!" ”

"Then how do you answer Zu Dabi?"

"Promise him."

"This ...... I'm afraid that's not right, right? ”

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger?" Wu Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "This king is still thinking about asking about Dolgon's deployment from him." ”

……。

Wu Zheng agreed to Zu Dabi's plea.

These more than 6,000 people were formed into a separate army, with Zu Dabi as the commander, and under the Taizhou Guard, a separate establishment was set up.

In order not to irritate the Taizhou guards in the city, Wu Zheng ordered Zu Dabi's troops to camp in place, and ordered Zu Dabi to send messengers to Qingjiangpu to recruit the hundreds of horseless cavalry.

After settling down, Wu Zheng returned to Huai'an City with Zu Dabi.

But when he first arrived at the city gate, he got an urgent report from the city - Taizhou Wei was arresting, hunting, and slaughtering the original Qing army.

"Nonsense!" Wu Zheng's face changed greatly, "Jiang Quanyi, you are a good soldier!" You go to pass on this king's order, all actions will be stopped immediately, all personnel will be rebuilt, and if there is a violation of the order, military law will deal with it! ”

Jiang Quanyi was also stunned, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, the last general will personally deal with this matter!" ”

However, Wu Zheng went out of the city and returned to the city, this time and again, it was half a day, and this half day was enough to arrest and kill many people.

The point is, does killing people really work?

There is nothing to count on except to add a lot of hatred.

……。

That night, Jiang Quanyi summed up the situation of Taizhou Wei's pursuit of the "remnant enemy" and reported it to Wu Zheng.

In this half a day, Taizhou Wei arrested more than 3,800 people from the original Huai'an, Dahe Erwei and Zu Dabi's descendants, and more than 570 people were killed on the spot by Taizhou Wei for resistance.

After Jiang Quanyi finished his report, he looked at Wu Zheng's crappy expression and said in a hurry: "Among the people who were killed, more than 100 people were family members of Huai'an and Dahe Erwei...... They were killed by the soldiers as rebels for preventing our soldiers from arresting the former Huai'an and Dahe Second Guards. ”

"Zu's command...... How many people were killed? On the side, Zu Dabi suddenly asked.
