In order to prevent Zhang Xianzhong from becoming more emotionally unstable and frantically wandering and slaughtering the people, Shen Shuren also had to stay in Changsha for a few days, combing and pacifying the work, while pondering strategies to stabilize the other party.

Of course, in the past few days, he has not been completely idle in the military, at least after only one night, Shen Shuren figured out a truth and made some targeted deployments:

He realized that Changsha had fallen rapidly before, mainly because the general soldier Yin Xianmin did not know that the imperial army's reinforcements were coming, and as long as he held on for ten days and half a month, he could definitely be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, so he took a wrong step.

Later, He Yide's surrender, although there was the influence of Yin Xianmin's chain reaction, coupled with King Gui's blind command, he did not take the lives of the soldiers as his life for the sake of the breakthrough of the people in the palace. However, He Yide's ignorance of the situation of the advance of the official army in the north is also an important inducement.

Zhang Xianzhong succeeded twice in a row by advancing quickly and blocking the news of reinforcements to intimidate the local guards, in this case, of course, Shen Shuren had to learn a lesson and ensure that it was not more than three.

Therefore, after fully realizing the degree of erosion of the official army in the southern area of Huguang, Shen Shuren chose to stay in Changsha while sending a part of the elite cavalry troops under Zhu Wenzhen as messengers and scouts.

Bypassing Hengshanwei and Hengzhou, he reported the news to the prefectures and counties on the southern and western borders of Huguang and Guangzhou, so that the local magistrates would know:

"The main force of the imperial court reinforcements has recovered Changsha, if all parts of the country are attacked by Zhang Xianzhong, don't panic, don't surrender, as long as you hold on for five to ten days, the imperial court reinforcements will arrive. If you surrender before you reach the end of ten days, the imperial court will surrender to the officials and the three clans in the future!"

Shen Shuren believes that as long as sufficient information is transmitted to the prefects and garrisons of places such as Yongzhou Mansion and Chenzhou Mansion, they will have confidence in their hearts.

In addition, these southerly state capitals are already close to the borders of Huguang and Liangguang and Jiangxi, and the terrain is complex and easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if Zhang Xianzhong turns his gun and attacks, he can ensure that he will not lose it within ten days, so that Shen Shuren can catch up and stick to him.

If Zhang Xianzhong finds that he can't capture the city and chooses to go around the city purely, then at least the damage to productivity and wealth can be minimized.

At most, they will snatch some grain from the countryside and burn down some houses in the countryside, so that the entire city will not be slaughtered and burned like Changsha.

These populations, materials, and production facilities are already the people and wealth under his rule in the eyes of Shen Shuren, how can they allow Zhang Xianzhong to destroy them wildly before leaving!

Not to mention, Shen Shuren's trick quickly took effect, in just three or four days, Zhu Wenzhen helped him start to notify from the neighboring prefectures and counties, and quickly re-established his confidence, and there were really a few county seats, and after receiving the report, he mustered up a resolute will to defend to the death.

Later, when Zhang Xianzhong sent out to burn and loot, these counties also chose to hold on, and held out until Zhu Wenzhen's rapid mobile cavalry reinforcements arrived, repelling and defeating Zhang Xianzhong's small force of grass valley.

After several small-scale raids, Zhang Xianzhong's wings of hundreds or more than 1,000 people were cut off one after another, and the arrogant morale of Zhang Xianzhong's army was also slightly suppressed.

……

Sending messengers to send a roundabout message to encourage the provinces to clear the walls is only the first move of the Shen Shuren.

The day after this trick was arranged, Shen Shuren thought of a new trick that could be used as a supplement.

There is no way, who let him not have Zhang Liang Zhuge Liang by his side, this kind of diplomatic and strategic things that require brains, can only be done by himself.

If you don't have enough brains, you can sleep and take a bath, and maybe you'll be inspired again. He is so good at planning in his dreams, and often wakes up and thinks of a poisonous plan.

Early in the morning, after he finished dealing with the basic daily life, he immediately recruited his staff Gu Yanwu.

Gu Yanwu's knowledge is good, his writing is beautiful, and his political philosophy skills are also solid, so he is not very good at plotting.

But as the "core secretary" of Shen Shuren, no matter whether he can play a staff role in wartime, he has to follow Shen Shuren everywhere and anytime, anywhere, and if there are any official instructions that need to be ghostwritten, he can also do it in one go, so that he has no sense of existence.

When he was called this time, he thought that the owner had some daily work to explain, but Shen Shuren discussed some rumor-level strategies with him.

"Brother Tinglin, I thought of a strategy yesterday, and I need to use some rumored tricks, so you can give me the words and help me refer to them in detail." Shen Shuren got straight to the point.

Gu Yanwu was slightly stunned: "Rumors? Do you want to provoke the trust of Zhang Xianzhong's father and son? Or is it to frame any of his generals who want to surrender to the court?"

Shen Shuren shook his head: "No, it's a rumor that frames "me" - at least on the surface, it frames me."

Gu Yanwu was shocked: "Is it Zhang Xianzhong who wants to frame you, so do you need to deal with it?" What kind of despicable means did this guy use? I remember that last year, he spread rumors everywhere that he killed the vassal kings indiscriminately for the sake of Yang Ge Lao, and if Yang Ge Lao had died earlier, he would not have been guilty of killing so many vassal kings."

Shen Shuren was amused, he knew that Gu Yanwu couldn't react, and he couldn't blame him, it was really his own plan that was too unbelievable.

Shen Shuren laughed at himself for a while, and said clearly in one breath: "I didn't say that Zhang Xianzhong came to frame me again! I'm going to frame me!

You can think of a way to organize the wording and get some "The reason why Zhang Xianzhong killed the vassal king indiscriminately was because he had reached a tacit agreement with Shen Futai to share the spoils.

Shen Futai is also known as Zuo Liangyu's general separatist heart, think that the surrounding vassal kings are too much in the way, now Shen Futai is only Anhui Fu, not the governor of Huguang, he came to Huguang to help suppress, only the merit is not wrong, the death of the vassal king is not his business, in the future, the court will hand over these lands to him to govern, and the vassal king will have less constraints.

Zhang Xianzhong knew this very well, so he helped to kill the vassal kings indiscriminately, so that Shen Futai could never catch up, and as a reward, Zhang Xianzhong could plunder the huge amounts of gold, silver and jewelry accumulated in various palaces or for more than a hundred years or decades."

Zhang Xianzhong hates me to the core, if he listens to this rumor and knows that killing many people in Huguang will not hurt me, but will help me, then will he still be so active in indiscriminate killing?

Zhang Xianzhong, I know this person too well, although he is brave and not afraid of death, he is also bound by the careful eye of retribution. At the beginning, he hated Yang Ge Lao, and he did everything he could to harm the other party. Now he hates me to the core, as long as it can harm me, even if it will also hurt him, "hurt others and hurt himself", he will not hesitate to do it!"

After Gu Yanwu heard this, he was directly shocked.

He pondered for a while, and of course he could realize that "if this rumor spreads, it will be very helpful to disgust Zhang Xianzhong and restrain Zhang Xianzhong's decision-making choice".

However, the backlash of this rumor scheme is also absolutely terrifying!

With Gu Yanwu's political wisdom, he could see it at a glance, and he had to remind: "Futai is cautious! Although this strategy has miraculous effects, the backlash is also very dangerous!

Imagine that Your Majesty is already suspicious and mean, if in the future he hears such rumors about the collusion between the local governors and the thief chieftains, each taking what he wants, and also involving the framing of at least three vassal kings and the slaughter of the three state capitals, will Your Majesty not punish you?

Even if His Majesty temporarily forbears and wants to pretend to be deaf and dumb, how can those dog mongrels in the DPRK and China give up the opportunity to take the opportunity to bite the local governor to seek fame and fortune? Even if they have no grievances with you, impeach you a few copies, and ask your family to send money to eliminate disasters, they are happy to see it!

For example, who doesn't know that the Shen family is rich today, second only to the Zheng family, and no one will let go of the opportunity to make trouble with the Shen family from His Majesty! Even if Zhou Yanru and Chen Xinjia try to protect you, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be good."

Gu Yanwu is not a person who is good at drilling camps, he belongs to the kind of fame and fortune, even Gu Yanwu can see the dirty risks of officialdom, of course Shen Shuren has thought of it a long time ago.

He also sighed, and comforted him in turn: "Brother Tinglin doesn't have to mind, I will bear this risk alone, what are you afraid of?" As far as I am concerned, what is the personal momentary honor and disgrace and risk? As long as I can save the people of Huguang and no longer be deliberately slaughtered by Zhang Xianzhong, I will be a little suspicious and infamous for the time being!

Moreover, if the situation is so chaotic today, this kind of rumor is deliberately spread by us, and it is easy to control the scope at first. It's been a few days since June, and this time, plus the first to mid-July, I dare to make sure that this kind of rumor only spreads in the Shonan area! It's not going to spread!

And when the time comes, as long as our army breaks Zhang Xianzhong, forces Zhang Xianzhong out of Huguang, or even annihilates him, this kind of rumor will be self-defeating, and it will be dormant for at least a month or two. Even if it is noticed by someone who cares about it and then publicized, it will at least be in late autumn and early winter this year.

Ordinary imperial court newspapers, if there is no urgency, travel 100 miles a day, from southern Hunan to Beijing, I am afraid it will take a month. The spread of folk rumors is definitely much slower than that of the imperial court, and if it spreads to the capital and is noticed by the eventful imperial historians, I am afraid that it will be at least at the turn of spring and summer next year! When the time comes, we'll be famous, so we don't have to worry about that!"

However, Gu Yanwu didn't know why Shen Shuren dared to be so sure - even if this matter could be buried for half a year, so what? It's nothing more than a powder keg that has been delayed in detonation.

With Chongzhen's meanness and suspicion, won't he pursue this matter after more than half a year? As long as Chongzhen lives, the situation will not be so grim in the future, and he will find fault sooner or later!

But Shen Shuren only didn't explain this to him, and he didn't want to be pestered to ask.

Shen Shuren couldn't tell him, "I know that this suspicious and mean emperor won't live long, and even if he knows about it next summer, he won't be able to deal with me, but he will have to stabilize me."

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Chongzhen, who was more than half a year before his death, still wants to do things in the local area, Shen Shuren can take the opportunity to force his generals to stand in line - of course, Shen Shuren will not pull the flag and rebel, otherwise the previous drama will be in vain, but it is absolutely okay to say a few words "The imperial history of the central government is all traitors of extortion and blackmail, and they are blinded to the Holy Hearing".

With the current situation that the military salary of the Huguang army for more than two years has been paid by him in Shenfutai, and occasionally has to be subsidized by the Shen family to do business on his own, it is self-evident who the Shen family army should listen to. Even if Shen Shuren said this at that time, he didn't need to go north to the "side of King Qinqing Jun", as long as "don't accept the chaos and protect itself".

But Gu Yanwu didn't know this, in order to help the owner think about it, he had to find a way to polish it a little: "Futai, if this matter is really going to be done, the student thinks that it can be slightly embellished.

For example, the rumors that are spreading, don't say that Zhang Xianzhong colluded with you, but that the truth is mixed, and then give a little other choice. For example, Zhang Xianzhong is because he hates Yang Gelao deeply, and even hates Huguangfang Futai.

After all, Futai is the real governor of Huguang at the moment, and you are just a guest army with reinforcements. Let's just say that Fang Futai has always felt that there are too many vassal kings in southern Hunan, which is not conducive to his governance, so he is stationed in Jingzhou, focusing on the north and the south, and sitting back and watching all this......

When Shen Shuren heard this, his face immediately turned pale: "Be cautious when talking like this! If we use others as shields, wouldn't it become a framing of colleagues? The point is, they may not be as prepared as I am, and they may cause trouble."

Even if Shen Shuren wants Yang Sichang and Fang Kongzhi to share the pressure of public opinion of "Zhang Xianzhong's chaos", he can't say this, that would be too inauthentic.

Gu Yanwu's eyes rolled wildly, and he didn't know if Shen Shuren was embarrassed or really righteous, but he still took the order and left, and soon began to arrange to run Zhang Xianzhong's rumors, forming several more versions.
