"Head, what if Niu Wancheng cheats us?"

The blind man Wansi felt that it was too cheap for them to let go of the lackeys in the green camp like this, and he was worried that most of the dogs in the green camp would not do what the captain said.

"There's no way but to keep fighting."

Wang Wu stopped and gave Wan Si a standard answer.

“......”

Wan Si didn't know how to answer the standard answer of calling the captain, and muttered half-loudly: "Then we don't have a big loss." ”

"First of all, we can't be sure that Niu Wancheng is in breach of contract, and we can't be sure that he is abiding by the contract; Secondly, we can't kill them all. So, we can only think on the bright side. ”

After thinking about it, Wang Wu added, "Besides, Niu Wancheng can't beat us." In this case, why do you have to kill him, wouldn't it be good to spare his life in exchange for a favor. ”

In order to make Wan Si more aware of his "guiding spirit", Wang Wu made another analogy.

It's like Zhang San was instigated by someone to get along with him, but this Zhang San's physique is not as good as him, and as a result, he was beaten by Wang Wu every time and his nose was swollen and his face was blue.

So the question is, does Wang Wu hope that this Zhang San will come to fight with him every time, or do he hope that the boss behind him will be singled out with him, or will he directly give him a group fight?

The answer is obvious.

Niu Wancheng is Zhang San.

Wang Wu likes Zhang San over unknown challengers such as Li Si and Wang Er Mazi.

There's a good chance he won't be able to do that.

In order to ensure that every time he comes is Zhang San, who he can do, Wang Wu must let Zhang San not fall out of favor in front of the boss behind him, and he is still a muscular hunk image.

It is a matter of making Zhang San decent.

Niu Wancheng, as the former commander-in-chief of the Qing army's eastern front and the confidant of Dong Xueli, the governor of Huguang, in the case of small losses, Dong Xueli continued to send people to let this favorite general who was familiar with the Ming army charge into battle for himself, or did he change to a general who was not familiar with the situation of the Ming army?

Everything is afraid of research.

It's thorough as soon as you research it.

Wan Si suddenly realized: "Listening to what the captain said, I understand!" ”

Tian Wen, who had just finished the handover work, came over and also put forward his own views.

It's just that there is no need to release all the Qing troops, it is completely possible to kill the command of the Qing army headed by Niu Wancheng, and then release those ordinary green battalion soldiers.

The advantage of this is that it can clear the officer layer of the Qing army;

The second is to make ordinary battalion soldiers afraid of the Ming army, and the next time they encounter it, it is easy to collapse without a fight because of congenital phobia.

"That's a good idea."

Wang Wu first affirmed Tian Wen's idea of only punishing the first evil, and the rest not being investigated.

This is a common method of suppression since ancient times.

Then he shook his head and said, "If I could do this, I would have done it a long time ago." ”

Tian Wen wondered why he couldn't do this.

Wansi is also curious.

Wang Wu didn't feel impatient, but explained to the two seriously.

First of all, the overall situation of the Ming army is not an ordinary disadvantage, it can be said that it is in a completely desperate situation.

Under this premise, killing one or two batches of officers of the Qing army will not help in the overall situation, because the Qing army has a steady stream of officers to replenish, killing Niu Wancheng, Zhang Wancheng, Zhao Wancheng!

The Ming army did not have this advantage, and one died one less.

If one king falls, there will never be thousands of kings.

This is the biggest crisis that the Ming army is facing now.

Similarly, in the case that the discerning people knew that it was impossible for the Ming army to hold on, those ordinary battalion soldiers who were put back would never be of much help to the Ming army.

Because, they are cannon fodder.

Cannon fodder, worthless.

Therefore, a green battalion officer corps with a much stronger meaning than cannon fodder is the object of Wang Wu's work.

It is now the third year of Kangxi, and although the 20-year anti-Qing struggle has entered the final end, whether it is the Qing army or the Ming army, the situation of "soldiers for generals" has not changed.

If there are soldiers, there is status, there is an official hat, and there is territory, which is common to both sides.

Not to mention the Han vassal kings on the side of the Qing army, the princes, marquis, and uncles on the side of the Ming army are typical military leaders.

Wasn't it because the leaders of the major armies superficially obeyed Liu Tichun's command, but actually listened to the tune and did not listen to the propaganda, which led to the situation of being fully trapped now.

Take Niu Wancheng as an example, knowing that the Ming army commanded by Wang Wu is a hard bone, does he really dare to risk his strength being exhausted and fight Wang Wu to the death?

If he really had this courage, he wouldn't have fought for dignity from Wang Wu!

At this time, there were many officers who came around, including Zhao Jinzhong, Xu Deyi, and Zhang Tianwang's brother Zhang Tianfang.

In order to let these heroes who are willing to fight with them to the end have more understanding of the situation and more strategies and means against the enemy, Wang Wu directly said a policy that no one has ever heard of.

"The upper route can't go, the bottom route can't go, we have to take the middle route!"

The upper level naturally refers to the Manchu high-level with the Eight Banners as the main one, and the bottom level naturally refers to those green battalions that are regarded as cannon fodder by the Eight Banners.

What is the middle level?

It is Niu Wancheng, a Qing army general who served in the green battalion.

The importance of the middle level is reflected in the fact that they can carry on the top!

There is no communication between the top and bottom, and there will be problems in any dynasty or generation.

Theoretically, as long as the middle level of the Qing army is loosened, even if it is secretly released, Wang Wu and the entire Kuidong Ming army can get a chance to survive.

Of course, Wang Wu didn't expect Niu Wancheng to take much initiative, as long as this guy really let him go when he ran into him again.

Even if this guy is far away from him, he is still one of the main forces of the Qing army in the encirclement of the Eastern Front.

There is one thing that Wang Wu did not tell everyone, that is, Niu Wancheng, the timid and afraid of death, the deputy general of the Green Battalion, is very likely to be his hope to highlight Kui Dong.

Otherwise, he would not have met Niu Wancheng's "decent" requirements.

Niu will take the subordinates released by the Ming army to retreat a few miles to the west, looking at the Ming army from a distance, and the thief's eyes look at the Ming army from time to time in the clairvoyant mirror, not knowing what he is thinking.

It's not that he doesn't want to go back to Dachang, it's that the Ming army wants to go there.

Although he didn't find out the details of the Ming army commanded by Wang Wu at this meeting, his intuition told Niu Wancheng that the Ming army must be going to Lao Mugang.

Therefore, if he retreats to the east, no matter how he withdraws, he will always be in front of the Ming army.

In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, and to show that his old cow is a man of words, he made up his mind to follow all the way.

Not the trailing of the offense, but the tailgating of watching the hilarious.

No matter who Wang Wudong fought with on the way, he didn't join in the fun.

But if anyone can beat Wang Wu down, he Niu Wancheng will definitely be the first to jump out to help the field.

This is called evidence-based.

Of course, this little abacus did not dare to show it.

In order to strengthen the "friendly" relations between the two armies, Niu Wancheng also specially sent someone to inform Wang Wu that he was following behind, but he simply wanted to withdraw to Yuan'an, the place of departure.

Thinking with his ass, Wang Wu also knew that Niu Wancheng's purpose was not so simple, but he didn't bother to pay attention to this coward, and led his troops directly into Dachang Town, which was not guarded by a single soldier.

After that, all the officers and soldiers were organized to make a simple memorial ceremony for the fallen soldiers, and then buried the bodies of the fallen soldiers near the town.

I was busy for most of the day.

In the evening, when Wang Wu was eating, Niu Wancheng sent someone over again.

This time, I didn't come to emphasize that I had no malicious intentions, but to ask Wang Wu about a person's whereabouts.

This man is still an emperor!

"Emperor Dingwu?"

Monk Wang Wuzhang and the second monk were puzzled: Is there such a person?

In my impression, after the martyrdom of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty successively had three formal regimes of Hongguang, Longwu and Yongli, as well as the Lu Jianguo regime and the Shaowu regime in Guangzhou.

The messenger sent by Niu Wancheng was a sentry named Song En, and seeing that there was no one else around General Wang Wu, he actually stepped forward and whispered:

"General, my lord said that if the general can find out the Dingwu puppet emperor, my lord will ask for merit for the general in front of the governor and the admiral, and the court will not hesitate to reward him, and the marquis will also be possible!"

“......”

Wang Wu's eyes became sharp: Lao Niu, is this plotting against me?
