Since ancient times, defeat has always been able to be equated with misery, whether it is the battle of the water or the battle of Chibi, for the losing side, it is like going to hell for a circle, disappointed, helpless, timid, no matter what words are used to express it, can not write the mood in the hearts of the parties.

Since Wu Sangui's army, after the sudden withdrawal from Luoyang City, the Wu army, has gradually flowed out of the gossip, although, Wu Sangui has tried his best to block the news that Zhangde Mansion was captured by the Ming army in Shaanxi, but after all, it is impossible to be foolproof, in addition, after the retreat, the soldiers who were originally able to eat every day suddenly became hungry and full, and all the soldiers of the Wu army realized that the disaster was probably coming.

At any time, don't bother with some so-called 'smart people', even if the influence of Wu Sangui in the Wu army is incomparable, the military law of the Wu army can be incomparable, but it can't stop those who want to escape as soon as possible 'smart people', in fact, according to the current situation, although the Wu army is short of food, Zhangde Mansion has also been occupied by the Shaanxi Ming army, but if they can really unite as one, it is still easy to retreat safely, after all, the Shaanxi Ming army, it is impossible to do something to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.

But when these 'smart people' fled, although the number was small, it was a huge blow to the morale of the Wu army, which had already fallen to a low point, and for a while, in a short period of time, those soldiers who had other purposes because of fear also joined the fleeing team.

"Say, tell me, what the hell is going on, why are there still so many deserters, you are all rice buckets, can't you do such a trivial thing?" Wu Jun's big tent. Wu Sangui began to reprimand the generals again.

No wonder he was so angry, you know, since the day before yesterday, deserters began to appear, and now, in just two days, nearly 3,000 soldiers have fled. Of course, the soldiers who were able to escape smoothly were a minority after all, and most of the soldiers were either captured by them or shot directly, although three thousand soldiers were nothing to Wu Sangui of the 100,000 army, and it was more important. These 3,000 soldiers, all recruited later, were not his descendants, but even so, it made him feel angry.

Wu Sangui, who grew up in the military camp and has been taught by many generals, understands very well that anytime. The morale of the army must not be chaotic, as long as the morale of the army is not chaotic. So even if there are many defeats, they can rise again, but if the army is in turmoil, then no matter how big the force is, in the end, it will inevitably be defeated, so that after the first war. It's hard to rise again.

"Lord Wang, you really can't blame us for this matter, you know, if it's something else, or before. We can all come up with a way to solve it, and even as long as there are deserters, we will definitely not be soft, that is to see one and kill one, but now our most important thing is that there is no food in our army, except for the deserters who were caught at the beginning and executed, the rest of the subordinates have now locked them up, not that the subordinates are soft-hearted, but if they are killing at this time, I am afraid that the army will really be unstable, and maybe even some unexpected changes, if it really comes to that time, the prince, We really can't do anything back. As soon as Wu Sangui finished speaking, he saw a general stand up and speak.

After listening to the words of this general, Wu Sangui's brain was shocked, and he was about to open his mouth to let people take him down, but when the words came to his mouth, he could only swallow it again, he also knew that this general was not deliberately contradicting him, but what he said was the truth, and he had told him euphemistically, if it continued like this, it might lead to a rebellion among the soldiers, if that situation really appeared, even if he Wu Sangui was powerful, he would not be able to change the ending, and he might even be burned, at that time, He had no choice but to die.

Thinking of this, the furious Wu Sangui gradually calmed down, sat down, and said slowly, "You all talk about it, what should be done with this, you know, it is impossible to want food now, not to mention that Zhangde Mansion was occupied by the Ming army in Shaanxi, and the grain of the imperial court could not be transported in at all, even if the imperial court really transported food, it was far from quenching the thirst, we still have to look at the present, at least to boost the morale, if it goes on like this, there is no need to wait for the Ming army to attack, I'm afraid we're going to mess up ourselves. ”

"Lord Wang, now that we have come to this, we might as well let the soldiers collect food on the spot, so that the problem of food shortage can be transferred a little, and maybe even morale can be improved because of this." As soon as Wu Sangui's words were finished, a general spoke on the side.

After listening to the words of this general, Wu Sangui was also quite moved in his heart, for the general said that the local grain collection is actually just a way to rob in disguise, this way, the most commonly used is the people of different races in the north, in order to maximize the motivation of their soldiers to fight, so as to indulge their soldiers to rob and kill the people of the Central Plains, which is the so-called grass valley.

But this method is rarely used in the battle of the major forces in the Central Plains, unless it is a last resort, otherwise no one will be willing to use it at all, after all, the major forces in the Central Plains region kill each other, and the ultimate goal is to dominate the world, so they will not only not kill wantonly after occupying a place, but will also give some preferential policies, so as to hope to get the maximum support of a place.

In addition, there is another reason that this way of arson and robbery is most likely to be infamous and hateful, for a country that values regional relations very much in China, the place where it grew up is its own roots, and if its roots are destroyed, it is the hatred of the heavens, which is why the so-called Hu people do not have a hundred years of luck, because the Chinese have a hatred for the Hu people that is engraved into their bones, as long as there is an opportunity, someone will rebel.

"No, my lord, this plan is absolutely impossible!" As soon as the general's words were finished, Hu Guozhu on the side hurriedly retorted.

"Oh, Mr. Hu, please say, why this plan is not feasible, is there any hidden danger that cannot be achieved, Mr. must know. Now that it has reached the time of life and death of our army, a little infamy is nothing, anyway, if our army is defeated this time, I am afraid that I will want this kind of opportunity in the future, and I don't know when and where I can care about other things. Hearing Hu Guozhu's words. Wu Sangui opened his mouth and said.

"Don't be impatient, although your subordinates are a scribe, they are not the kind of sour and rotten Confucians who chew words, how can they care about that infamy, the reason why their subordinates want to dissuade the prince from implementing this method is that now is not the time, the prince and the generals should know that after our army retreated, Li Yan and the Shaanxi Ming army who were trapped in Luoyang City. A large army will certainly be dispatched, ready to look for an opportunity to attack our army, but because of the strength of my army, I have to go into hiding.

But if the prince implements this plan, wouldn't it give Li Yan and the others a chance to disintegrate our army, you know, even if we levy food, it will be impossible to use the army at all. Only small units can be mobilized, and these forces. If after separating the army, in the face of the powerful Shaanxi Ming army, wouldn't it be like a meat bun beating a dog, and there would be no return, so the prince could not implement this strategy when he went. Otherwise, the catastrophe is not far off. Hu Guozhu opened his mouth and analyzed the pros and cons of this matter thoroughly.

Sure enough, after listening to Hu Guozhu's words, Wu Sangui's face was also a little uncertain, and he was in a better mood just now. Once again, it fell into the gloom. With Hu Guozhu's words, the big tent suddenly fell silent again, and no one was talking for a long time, after all, these people are generals, and letting them think of countermeasures is tantamount to a mouse marrying a cat, not impossible, but it is also even more difficult.

"Hey, I didn't expect that I, Wu Sangui, would fall into this field, could it be that this thief really wants to do this to me and let me die here." Seeing a silent tent, even with Wu Sangui's previous perseverance and alertness, he couldn't help but sigh at this time.

"Lord Wang, there is no way for us to have an endless road, in fact, if the prince can really endure it, his subordinates have a way to force it." Seeing Wu Sangui's exclamation, Hu Guozhu on the side couldn't help but speak.

As soon as Hu Guozhu said this, Wu Sangui was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, it's impossible, let me escape alone, Wu can't do such a thing if he swears to death." ”

"Lord Wang, the subordinates did not let the prince leave alone, but left with the elites of his subordinates, the prince should know that although our 100,000 army seems to be numerous, the actual combat effectiveness has not improved much, and even in the battle with the Shaanxi Ming army, there is not much advantage, so the subordinates think that the prince can select some elites from the 100,000 army, so as to come out of the shell, leaving most of the soldiers to attract the attention of the Shaanxi Ming army, so as to give the prince to leave, in exchange for the corresponding time.

What's more, even if Li Yan and the others really know that the prince is gone, but with the existence of these soldiers, they are not able to pursue us at all, as long as we can escape smoothly, with the ability of the prince, we will take this revenge back sooner or later. Hu Guozhu persuaded.

After listening to Hu Guozhu's words, Wu Sangui hadn't spoken yet, and some of the generals on the side couldn't help nodding, you know, most of these generals under Wu Sangui are subordinates who have followed him for many years, in their hearts, except for the former Guanning Iron Cavalry, the remaining soldiers are flags that can be discarded at will, no matter how much they lose, they will be recruited in the future.

"But Mr. Hu, in this way, when the time comes, the court will definitely blame the king if it knows, and you also know that the reason why the Mancheng court and Dolgon dare not touch the king is precisely because of these forces under the king, if the king goes back this time, the strength loss is huge, I am afraid that the Manchu court will do something to unload the mill and kill the donkey, if that is the case, what is the difference between the king dying now and dying in the future, sooner or later it will be a death, it is only a matter of time." Wu Sangui said suspiciously.

"So, the prince, this is what the subordinates said to the prince just now, to be patient with the prince, after going back this time, the prince must change the attitude towards the court in the past, must be modest and cautious, cautious, no matter how much insult he faces, the prince must also remain patient, and only in this way can we ensure that the Manchu court will not unload the mill and kill the donkey to the prince, as long as the prince can save his life, then sooner or later there will be a chance to rise, after all, if the Manchu Qing Dynasty wants to successfully dominate the world, must also rely on talents like Wang Ye to fight the world for them. Hu Guozhu said.

As soon as Hu Guozhu's words were finished, Wu Sangui didn't speak for a long time, just sat there quietly, looking into the distance with a blurred eyes, but struggling painfully in his heart, you know, Wu Sangui is also the pride of the sky, he has a rich family since he was a child, and then he is talented. There was a struggle in his heart, that's for sure.

The reason why the heroes are the heroes is because they tend to do things that ordinary people dare not sit or can't do at all, Wu Sangui was able to do things when the world was in turmoil at the end of the Ming Dynasty, not only did not fall down, but from a small chief military officer, wandering between the three forces of the Ming and Qing dynasties and Dashun, and finally almost overthrew the Manchu Dynasty, established himself as the emperor, and deserved to be called a generation of heroes.

Therefore, after some thought, the importance of life finally hit the face, and Wu Sangui finally nodded and agreed to Hu Guozhu's plan. Now that Wu Sangui had agreed, and the generals in those big tents also agreed, after some conspiracy, the generals finally returned to their respective barracks with orders.

At ten o'clock that night, Wu Sangui took 30,000 elites selected from the 100,000 army, and under the pretext that he was going to attack a county town not far from here, so that at night in the city, he left behind 70,000 troops and quickly fled towards Xuzhou City.

At the beginning, the remaining 70,000 troops were happy that Wu Sangui was able to personally lead the troops to attack the county seat and raise military rations at this time, but when the next day, they found that Wu Sangui and the 30,000 army had completely disappeared without a trace, they knew that they were fooled, they were abandoned by Wu Sangui as an outcast, and after getting the news, the 70,000 dragon leaderless army completely collapsed, and they walked in all directions for a while, and for a time, the entire land of Henan, There are these chaotic troops everywhere, so that Li Yan's army, which followed closely, also fell into the situation of endless rebellion and catching thieves.
