Why did Wang Wu say that to the slave of the Cao family?

Because he knew that the other party was a smart person.

Smart people will not do stupid things.

So far, Wang Wu has rejected two attempts to surrender from the enemy camp.

One is the clothed slave of the Cao family;

The other one is the Green Camp Bull Lieutenant General.

Wang Wu didn't understand what these two were thinking, and they dared to persuade him, the "violator", to surrender as a "victim"!

What a joke, how can a loser in the world do ideological work for a winner!

Non-violence and non-cooperation?

Did Wang Wu give the other party too many illusions?

Or maybe, there are four big words written on his face - A rare thing to live in?

In short, no matter what the two capitulators thought, surrender was impossible.

Tian Wen, not only Wang Wu, also knew that as soon as he said that he would surrender to the Qing, no matter what the reason was, whether he endured the humiliation or endured humiliation and asked for mercy, the anti-Qing team he had managed to pull together would immediately collapse.

If he wants people to stay together and maintain this cohesion, he must persevere to the end!

But not surrendering does not affect Wang Wu's surrender business.

The coat slave of the Cao family previously said that he could not surrender Li Guoying, nor could he surrender Zhang Changgeng, because if he surrendered, they would lose the grace to carry the flag.

As far as the surrendering army is concerned, there is a huge difference between being an ordinary Green Camp Han soldier and being a Han Army Eight Banners soldier.

The former's wages are low, benefits are average, and the work risk factor is quite high.

The latter has high wages, good benefits, and the risk factor is far lower than the former.

It's equivalent to one being edited and the other not.

Whoever you replace, you have to choose someone with some skills.

Therefore, it was indeed a blessing to be incorporated into the Han army after surrendering.

The words of the Cao family slave sounded true, but Wang Wu caught another layer of meaning.

It’s just that the Qing army was divided into factions!

Governor Li Guoying of Sichuan is a mountaintop, Governor Zhang Changgeng of Huguang is a mountaintop, and Governor Bai Rumei of Shaanxi is also a mountaintop.

In addition to these three hills, there are three larger hills.

They are Jingxi General Mulima, the commander-in-chief of the Qing army’s encirclement and suppression campaign;

Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Dingxi General Tuhai;

The former enemy commander of the Eight Banners - General Fu Kachan of Xi'an.

Below the general and the governor, there are a number of admirals, commander-in-chief and the like.

There are many hilltops and complex factions. Under the premise that Yu Kuidong is the only Ming army that insists on resisting the Qing Dynasty in mainland China, all hilltops must want to seize the greatest credit.

After all, the Qing court valued military merit most!

This is the last battle, how long will it take if we don’t take the credit!

Don’t you want to be your wife’s shadow?

As the first-line representatives of their respective hills, Lieutenant General Niu and the slaves of the Cao family naturally understood the truth, so they both wanted to win a piece of cake for the hills they represented.

Wang Wu is this piece of cake.

His piece of cake is a bit unique. When the Kuidong Ming army was completely defeated, he suddenly appeared. Not only did he lead his troops to win consecutive battles, but he also killed dozens of real Manchurians. This made his piece of cake

Plenty of cream!

Here comes the question, who is more valuable if you persuade a wise general who can fight or to persuade a wise general who has long wanted to surrender?

That is the issue of gold content.

Obviously, the five kings who can win the battle have higher gold content.

Therefore, both Lieutenant Niu and the Cao family slave wanted to take this piece of cake as their own.

Without it, it would be too sweet!

So, after understanding that everyone within the Qing army wanted to grab credit due to factional reasons, what Wang Wu had to do was to use these mountains to increase the cream content of his cake!

Not only does he become stronger, but it also becomes more difficult for the Qing army to persuade him to surrender.

This is a bad thing for the Qing army as a whole, but a good thing for those "smart people" who want to carve up their piece of the cake.

The greater the difficulty, the greater the credit.

In the words of later generations, the greater the risk, the greater the reward!

Ta'abai is a smart man, and he understands the meaning without being reminded.

Therefore, he is very cooperative.

I didn't really have a choice.

As long as this Ming general has a slight wavering in his heart about surrendering to the Qing Dynasty and is tempted by what he said is the only chance to regain his Ming Dynasty, it is worth his investment.

After rushing to Huachanggou with a group of fake Han troops from the Ming army, Taabai rushed into the house of Li Juqing who had just gotten up without even taking a breath.

Then it was said that a Ming army with five or six thousand soldiers and horses attacked Ma Shi Bay, resulting in the death of the Mandarin Mardu and others, and the defender Han Dewang also died for his country!

Now the Ming army is advancing towards Huachanggou.

Where did this Ming army come from?

Ta'abai gave a scientific basis - Liu Tichun sent troops to defend the Sichuan Admiral Zheng Jiaolin's troops on the Western Front.

Five or six thousand?

And Liu Tichun’s old camp soldiers!

Li Juqing was so frightened on the spot that he "turned pale" and ordered a quick retreat without Ta'abai's reminder, lest he be taken advantage of by the Ming army.

Just what Taabai wanted!

During the retreat, Xu Lin and Hou Sanjiang performed another group drama of "Wolf is coming". As a result, several hundred Green Camp soldiers collapsed in an uproar.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Lin and Hou Sanjiang quietly withdrew and reported to Wang Wu what Ta'a had asked them to do.

"The Tatar asked the general not to remember what he said. If something happens in the future, someone can go to Zhushan City to find him with this thing."

As Xu Lin spoke, he handed Wang Wu a jade ring with the words "House of Internal Affairs" engraved on it.

Wang Wu took it and smiled, put the jade ring in his pocket, and discussed the next step with Ma Sizhong and Zhang Tianwang who came to meet him.

According to Ta'abai's account, the Qing army besieging Laomukong consisted of about 2,000 Eight Banners soldiers commanded by Deputy Governor Du Min, and another 4,000 to 5,000 rebels, for a total of about 7,000 people.

The Ming army now has less than a thousand capable soldiers, and its military strength is far lower than that of the Qing army.

But the Ming army had two advantages.

First, Lao Mukong's Qing army didn't know that Huachanggou in the rear had been captured, so they didn't know that a Ming army was coming from behind them.

Second, there were many shaven soldiers in the Ming army who could continue to pretend to be Qing troops to stir up trouble, making the Qing army unable to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, thus causing chaos in the Qing army.

This is how Li Guoying dealt with the Ming army.

Wang Wu did not naively want to force Lao Mukong's Qing army to withdraw by cutting off the food road, because time did not allow him to stay in Huachanggou.

In three days at the latest, the Qing army will send heavy troops to attack Huachanggou. If he does not leave, he will be attacked by the Qing army from both front and rear.

Ma Sizhong and Zhang Tianwang had no objections, and the plan was decided.

The Ming army took a temporary rest for half a day in Huachanggou and started cooking the food left by the green camp soldiers to eat as much as they could.

The total number of captured Han Dewang surrender troops was nearly 500. These people must be dealt with immediately.

Wang Wu still sent people to ask the prisoners if they were willing to follow him to fight against the Qing Dynasty. As a result, more than 60 people chose to join the Ming army, while the rest remained silent.

After asking Gou Sheng to organize the sixty people into a team, Wang Wu found Hou Sanjiang and said to him: "I said before that as long as you cooperate, I will spare your life. Now it's time for me to fulfill my promise.

..

You can take these prisoners who are unwilling to follow me to fight against the Qing Dynasty to Dachang. There is a green camp there, and I have made an agreement with their Lieutenant General Niu. You can go and surrender with confidence, he will not treat you badly."

"Um?"

Hou Sanjiang was very surprised when he heard this: How could the Ming army negotiate with the Qing army about this kind of thing?

Wang Wu did not explain much, nor did he ask Hou Sanjiang if he was willing to follow him, because he knew that this guy was not determined to fight against the Qing Dynasty to death.

Before, it was just forced.

It is useless to keep such a person by force.

The result was just as Wang Wu had guessed, Hou Sanjiang had no intention of following him and happily accepted the arrangement of leading the Korean troops to surrender to Lieutenant General Niu of Huguang Green Camp.

But make a request.

Just kill his good friend Ma Decai.

The reason is that Ma Decai may reveal his bottom line.

"As you wish."

Wang Wu didn't care about Ma Decai's fate. Seeing Hou Sanjiang's eyes full of longing for the green camp, he couldn't help but said: "Then I wish you smooth sailing and a bright future with the Qing army!"

After saying that, Wang Wu laughed inexplicably.

It seemed like I thought of something.

The laughing Hou Sanjiang was also confused, but if he wanted to have nothing to do with him, this kid wouldn't live long anyway.

I don't know how many real Manchu soldiers there are in Lao Mukong, waiting for you to die!

The court is gone, the emperor is gone, and a place as big as a palm is surrounded by hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. Do you think that with just a few people like you, the Ming Dynasty can really come back to life?
