"With all due respect, what Duoduo wants is not to kill a hundred officials of the imperial court, what he wants is to capture them alive. Kechen was escorted by thousands of cavalry, and if Duoduo wanted to succeed in the first battle, he must occupy an absolute superiority in strength, that is to say, to solve the battle before Pinggangshan sent reinforcements, Duoduo had to mobilize at least 20,000 people, including more than 8,000 cavalry, so as to quickly annihilate our department and prevent our department from breaking through with His Highness and Zhugong. ”

Zhang Huangyan nodded and said: "Jing Haihou is reasonable, but I still don't understand, where did Jing Haihou's countermeasures come from?" ”

Wu Zheng smiled and explained: "It's actually very simple to put things bluntly, since the Qing army has the intention to attack and intend to capture all our monarchs and ministers, then we will give him this opportunity."

"Two days later, as long as Duoduo agrees to give way, the minister will lead the cavalry to escort His Highness and the princes out of Pinggang Mountain to the north."

Wu Zheng's words made many officials break out in a cold sweat.

Just kidding, if you don't wear it, then it's just to follow Wu Zheng without knowing it.

But now, it is clear that the probability of the Qing army changing the hexagram is very high, and if you have to set off hard, isn't that looking for death?

If it weren't for Wu Zheng's "murderous reputation" now, I'm afraid that many officials would have to stand up and scold.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the Ming Dynasty.

It is also the prerogative of civil officials and ministers.

But important ministers such as Zhang Huangfang and Qian Sule did not change their faces, they guessed something, because they knew that Wu Zheng would never talk about it in the court, since they said so, there must be a future.

Sure enough, Wu Zheng continued: "If Duoduo wants to capture His Highness and the princes alive, he will naturally not attack with all his might, and the tactics he has adopted are nothing more than interspersed with encirclement, blocking the connection between our department and Pinggang Mountain, and then blocking the possibility of our department breaking through to the northwest, so that we can force our army to surrender." ”

Qian Sule's eyes lit up, and he suddenly asked: "Could it be true or false that Jing Haihou means, the golden cicada is out of its shell?" ”

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "I can't hide it from Lord Qian, Wu Zheng is exactly what he meant." ”

At this time, Zhang Huangyan also came to his senses, high-fived and said: "This plan is very good. The Qing army believed that the Jinghaihou cavalry escorted hundreds of people and hundreds of vehicles to us, and that it would inevitably be slow to move, so as long as there were enough cavalry, the Qing army did not need to worry about Jinghaihou breaking through. And as long as Jinghaihou can delay the attack on the Qing army for an hour, even if the Qing army finds out that the identity of the escort personnel in Jinghaihou is fake, I am afraid that it will be too late to return to block the imperial court from going north. ”

Wu Zheng praised: "In Brother Xuan's words, our department only has a few thousand cavalry, and there are more than 10,000 troops in Pinggang Mountain, so you don't need to exhaust the whole army, only 10,000 people are enough." Our department dragged the main force of Duoduo to march in the direction of the Three Realms and Shengxian, and at this time the defensive forces of the Qing army outside Pinggang Mountain must have been evacuated, after half an hour of departure from our department, the Ming army in Pinggang Mountain covered His Royal Highness and the princes of the imperial court turned towards the seaside in reverse, and there were nearly 1,000 fishermen and dozens of big boats brought by ministers from Jinshanwei on the shore of Shangyu Sea, which was enough to load His Royal Highness and the princes of the court to cross the sea to the north, which could not only be transferred from the Qiantang River to Hangzhou Mansion and then transfer by land to Yingtianfu, but also from the mouth of the Yangtze River to Yingtianfu. ”

At this time, everyone came back to their senses and praised in unison, this matter is feasible and can be called a clever plan.

Only Zhang Huangyan was silent, looked at Wu Zheng and said: "Jinghaihou can know that if the Ming army of Pinggang Mountain escorts us to the beach, there will definitely be a Qing army to report this news to Duoduo, although Duoduo is too late to return to stop us at that time, but he will definitely pour out his anger on Jinghaihou, and then the Qing army will encircle and annihilate your department with superior forces, you ...... How to get out? ”

At this time, even Zhu Yujiao's face became panicked, and everyone's eyes focused on Wu Zheng again.

Wu Zheng was calm, and said with a smile: "Your Highness and the princes don't have to worry about Wu Zheng, since the escort people and cars are fake, then there is no situation where our cavalry cannot break through." ”

This is reasonable, although the Qing army will definitely send absolutely superior forces to surround Wu Zhengbu, but the intention of the Qing army is to capture, not annihilate, after all, once a noble person becomes a corpse, the value will disappear.

Therefore, before the identity of the escort is revealed, Wu Zheng's department should be in danger.

And after the identity is known by Duoduo, then Wu Zheng no longer has to pretend to be an escort, he can abandon the hundreds of cars and directly lead the army to break through to the north.

With the speed of the cavalry, even if there will be losses, it will not be completely annihilated by the Qing army.

The courtiers all nodded slightly, agreeing with what Wu Zheng said.

And Zhu Yujiao is obviously not familiar with military affairs, she listened to Wu Zheng's explanation and felt that it made sense, in fact, as long as no one points through it, whatever Wu Zheng says, Zhu Yujiao at this time will agree.

This matter was decided on the spot, and he acted according to Wu Zheng's suggestion, and waited for Duoduo to send someone to reply and agree to Wu Zheng's request.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, as soon as Wu Zheng arrived at the door, he was stopped by Qian Sule and Zhang Huangyan.

To Wu Zheng's surprise, Qian Sule actually guessed that his previous explanation was untrue.

In fact, what Wu Zheng explained is not entirely true.

Just kidding, once the 20,000 Qing troops form a situation of interspersing and encircling Wu Zhengbu, can Wu Zhengbu still break through?

That's too underestimating Duoduo, too underestimating the Eight Banners Army, the Eight Banners at this time are not the Eight Banners when the Eight-Nation Alliance burned the Old Summer Palace.

In fact, not only Qian Sule and the others heard it, but also Xiong Rulin, Sun Jiaji, Liao Zhongping and others.

It's not that complicated in the first place.

Of course, Wu Zheng can bring more troops, as long as it reaches more than 10,000 people, then even if he is bitten by the Qing army, Wu Zheng, as the main general, wants to break through, the probability is still very high.

But there are more than 10,000 troops in Pinggang Mountain, and if Wu Zheng takes five or six thousand, then unless Pinggang Mountain is abandoned, the whole army will escort the imperial court to the north together.

But the question is, can Pinggang Mountain be abandoned?

Not to mention the countless financial and material resources that Wu Zheng has paid, and now in the entire eight counties of Shaoxing Prefecture, the only key pass occupied by the Ming army is Pinggang Cottage.

In Wu Zheng's view, this is a nail, wedged in the heart of the Qing army.

As long as the Pinggang Cottage was still in the hands of the Ming army, Duoduo would not dare to lead the whole army south, at least leaving a force that matched the Ming army in Pinggang Mountain for defensive purposes.

Then, Wu Zheng would not be able to get enough troops to break through.

Because there are more than 10,000 troops in the cottage, at least 8,000 people need to escort the people of the imperial court to the Shangyu Seaside, and the cottage must garrison at least 5,000 people in case the Qing army takes the opportunity to attack the cottage. At the same time, it was also necessary to receive the 8,000 Ming troops who escorted the imperial court officials to Pinggang Mountain.

In this way, Wu Zheng can only bring the cavalry that comes with him.
