As a knowledgeable leader of the rebel army and the military advisor of the entire team, Wang Huanzhang's vision is naturally broader than that of others. Whether it was during the Wang Jiayin period, the Little Red Wolf Qi Yong period, or even now, Wu Zihao is the master of the matter.
During this period, he has always been reused.
This is destined to mean that he knows much more than others. Memorizing the heroic records of the rebels in various places is naturally the most basic skill.
Although Wang Jiayin was instigated by Wang Er to attack Yan'an Prefecture, he did not object. In fact, due to the situation at that time, he did not think that Yan'an Prefecture could withstand the rebel attack. The main force of the imperial officers and soldiers were not in Yan'an Prefecture.
Just a guest army, even if it fights the rebels, will definitely not fight to the death, let alone the rebels are numerous, have strong soldiers and horses, and the bigger Yan'an Prefecture, one person can flood Yan'an Prefecture with just one spit.
Already.
However, facts are often the most instructive. Not to mention that Yan'an Prefecture sent a surprise force to cut off the entire rebel army's retreat in Qingyang Prefecture. Even in the frontal battle with Yan'an Prefecture, the combat power of the officers and soldiers was also
Shockingly powerful.
Thousands of elite rebels were abandoned at the gates of Yan'an Prefecture, and Wang Jiayin's strength was reduced by nearly half. Even after Wang Jiayin retreated hastily to Qingyang Prefecture, the little red wolf could not restrain his ambitions.
With this kind of experience, he felt that it was not recommended for Wu Sangui to attack Qingyang Mansion again.
The only way to survive is to eat persimmons and pick the soft ones. The officers and soldiers can completely avoid touching them for the time being, but other rebels cannot be touched!
For example, Zhang Cunmeng from Luochuan, Wang Monk from Yanchuan, Gao Yingxiang from Ansai, and Wang Zuogao from Yichuan. These new rebels all sprung up within one year like bamboo shoots after a rain. And now
The power of Qingyang Mansion is definitely not inferior to any of them. If they annex all these rebels one by one, it will not only solve the problem of food shortage, strengthen themselves and expand their territory, but it will be a natural thing.
It's just that the rebels attacked them for no reason. If word spread, Wu's name would not be so good, and Wu Shuai's own reputation and prestige would definitely be greatly damaged.
I don’t know if Wu Shuai has the courage to risk such great disapproval in the world and do such a thing!
Wang Huanzhang has been waiting for Wu Sangui to call him to discuss these matters. As a military advisor, he must dutifully give his opinions on such matters. Just when he was struggling with how to persuade Wu Sangui to do this matter according to his ideas,
Wu Sangui finally seemed to remember him.
This was already the third day since the day he learned that Wu Sangui had sent people to the vicinity of Yan'an Prefecture.
The place where Wu Sangui summoned him was still the government office. There was no surprise. Anyway, Wu Shuai usually did not move easily. What surprised him was that not only was he summoned, but also the city government came to the government office at the same time.
There were other leaders, large and small, who, like him, had somewhat surprised expressions on their faces.
When he saw him entering the hall, the people who arrived first clasped their fists at him in greeting. He smiled and greeted everyone, but in his heart he was looking at these people carefully.
Without exception, these people are all powerful leaders in the city. There are thirteen people in total, big and small. Among these thirteen people, even those who take the initiative to serve will be convinced and become attached to them.
Among these people, there were some who were good friends with each other, and some who disliked each other. They were gathered here at this moment. To be honest, there was no fight on the spot because of Marshal Wu's majesty.
Wang Huanzhang keenly discovered this, that is, these thirteen people may have been to this government office, and even came to the lobby of this government office, but like today, they are all gathered here, and no one is there.
This may be the first time.
This is what I hope will happen!
Wang Huanzhang felt this vaguely in his heart, and also had some slight regrets. It seemed that the young Marshal Wu did not fully trust him. He did not consult with him before making a decision on such an important matter.
own opinions.
Everyone is here now, which proves that he already has an idea.
"He's handsome!"
As a promise was sung, the originally murmuring lobby suddenly became quiet. Only the sound of footsteps could be heard, and Wu Sangui walked in surrounded by guards.
"I've met the handsome man!"
"Hello, handsome!"
Everyone looked at him unevenly. Wang Huanzhang saw Wu Sangui's eyes were stern, but there seemed to be an inexplicable look passing over these people. It seemed to be disdain, and it seemed to mean something else.
"Everyone sit down, everyone sit down!" Wu Sangui waved his hand with a smile on his face: "We are all brothers. We can avoid these courtesy in the future. I asked everyone to come together because I have something to discuss with you!"
Everyone was ordered to sit down, and everyone looked at Wu Sangui calmly.
"A few days ago, I sent people to investigate around Yan'an Prefecture. Yan'an Prefecture is much richer than our Qingyang Prefecture!"
Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to answer the question. Most of the people who could sit here had followed Wang Jiayin to Yan'an Mansion. The officers and soldiers there were so difficult to deal with that they absolutely did not want to meet him a second time.
Some people even drew their swords reflexively when they heard the sound of firecrackers. The battle under Yan'an City left such a deep impression on them.
"Why, brothers, aren't you interested in Yan'an Mansion?" Wu Sangui's smile faded: "It's you who cry out every day that there is no food, and it's you who cry out every day to do big things. Now I'm ready to do big things. You
Are all of them like quail?"
"Commander, is the only way to go to Yan'an Prefecture?" Wang Huanzhang didn't dare to speak when he saw the big and small bosses. He had to cough and speak loudly: "In Shaanxi, Yan'an Prefecture is not the only one with food.
Come on!"
"You mean to ask me to attack Xi'an Prefecture?" Wu Sangui squinted at him: "It's okay to attack Xi'an Prefecture. Let's go back and prepare now, and then fight all the way over. If anyone blocks our way, we will kill them.
!”
"This..." Wang Huanzhang smiled bitterly: "Commander, my brother wants to follow the commander to achieve great things. However, this meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road has to be walked step by step. Now our strength is not enough for the time being. This Xi'an Mansion
Wait until we are strong enough before we fight!"
"Then Yan'an Prefecture is close, has food, and doesn't have many officers and soldiers!"
Wu Sangui nodded, as if he recognized Yan'an Mansion, and all the bosses in the hall looked at Wang Huanzhang one by one, with pitiful looks in their eyes.
"Quickly advise our stupid young commander, my military strategist, our brothers are following him to seek a way to survive and get rich, not to commit suicide..."
Wang Huanzhang sighed. Who knows how he could see the meaning of so many people in these eyes, but he knew that under the power, he could only say this himself. These people were still a little afraid of Marshal Wu's disagreement.
You have to show the rules of killing with a knife.
"As for Yan'an Prefecture, if we are just a little bit stronger, we should be able to take it down!" He said sincerely: "It's like the rise of the general in Qingyang Prefecture. At first, Wu Zihao only occupied an old street, but now
The commander-in-chief's orders can be spread throughout the entire Qingyang Mansion, and no one dares to disobey, this is the benefit of expanding strength!"
"Whatever you want to say, just say it!" Wu Sangui waved his hands impatiently. Seeing him like this, Wang Huanzhang felt happy. He usually interacted with Wu Sangui, but he knew that his Marshal Wu, although
Jie Ao is fierce, but he actually does things in a very orderly manner. Since he is asked to be the military advisor and handle the affairs of the whole city on his behalf, then the other party will never deny him face like this in front of the big and small bosses.
This can only be said that Marshal Wu is pretending, waiting for him to say what he wants to say, and then taking advantage of it.
The young man is awesome!
Such a word suddenly flashed through his mind, and he finally understood why Wu Sangui didn't discuss this matter with him beforehand. That was because Wu Sangui had already known what he was thinking and didn't discuss it with him, just hoping that he would speak out on this occasion.
.
With such scheming, such methods, and such unruly and ferocious nature, it would be difficult for such a person to achieve great things!
"If you want to take Yan'an Mansion, you must first strengthen your strength. Zhang Cunmeng of Luochuan, Monk Yanchuan Wang, Ansai Gao Yingxiang, and King Zuogua of Yichuan. These people can all be targets of the commander's attack. Of course, we can also send envoys there first.
, invite them to join my Wu Zihao Rebel Army, if they push back and block, kill their leader, and just devour them!"
Once the words were spoken, Wang Huanzhang had nothing to hesitate about: "At this moment, it has been difficult for the officers and soldiers to attack. Moreover, even if the officers and soldiers are easy to fight, they will be jointly encircled and suppressed by the officers and soldiers after defeating them. But for other rebels, we have no
Don’t worry about this. When these rebels are eaten, the commander-in-chief will have tens of thousands of people and occupy several cities. A mere Yan’an Prefecture will be nothing. At that time, the commander-in-chief can just send any general to take it!"
"The Qingyang Mansion was also obtained from the officers and soldiers, and even now we have not seen the officers and soldiers come to jointly encircle and suppress it..." Wu Sangui said coldly, but his eyes were looking at the big and small leaders in the hall.
"That's because the governors of the three sides recruited Wang Jiayin and gave Wang Jiayin a place to garrison his troops!" Wang Huanzhang said helplessly: "As for why it is like this, it is because of the incompetence of the government and Wang Jiayin's banner.
Recruiting heroes from all over, the momentum is unprecedented, even if the officers and soldiers want to encircle and suppress, and mobilize troops, money and food, they still have to go to war! "
He said with certainty: "I can guarantee that if the spring comes next year, the officers and soldiers will definitely come to the city. The commander-in-chief is determined to do big things now. He is really anticipating the enemy and planning a decisive victory thousands of miles away!"
"Then what do you mean?" Wu Sangui said nothing, but looked at everyone in the hall: "Do you think so too?"
"The military advisor is absolutely right. If you don't recruit some men and horses, how can you fight with the officers and soldiers!"
"The commander-in-chief is simply a god descending to earth. What are we waiting to see? We will do whatever the commander-in-chief tells us to do!"
"The other rebels are just a bunch of guys who are luckier than us. Let's go find them. Those who are obedient are our subordinates. Those who are disobedient, hey, I know them. The knife in my hand, my brothers, don't
Know who they are!"
Everyone buzzed and started chattering. Wu Sangui looked at everyone gearing up and passionate, and couldn't help but smile.
This smile was caught again by Wang Huanzhang. He looked at Wu Sangui calmly, and then nodded to everyone.
Turning around, he said respectfully to Wu Sangui: "Please give orders, Commander-in-Chief, and I will obey them all!"
Everyone also raised their hands and clasped their fists: "Commander, please give the order!"
"Wang Huanzhang!" Wu Sangui looked around the crowd and said loudly.
"The end is here!"
"Zhang Cunmeng from Luochuan, Monk Yanchuanwang, Ansai Gao Yingxiang, King Zuogao of Yichuan, and the rebel leaders who knew their names from all over the country and gathered more than 3,000 people immediately sent envoys to invite their leaders to our Qingyang Mansion to participate in the grand event.
, our Shaanxi Rebel Army is just like a piece of loose sand, and it was defeated by the officers and soldiers one by one. This kind of thing can't happen again in the future!"
He looked proudly at the people in front of him: "Since we are doing something big, of course the more people the better, the military advisor can discuss it by yourself, set a time, and summon them to my Qingyang Mansion!"
"Follow the commander's orders!"
"Thirteen of you!" Wu Sangui looked at the others: "They are my team of Wu Zihao. As long as I am with Wu Zihao, there will be thirteen of you. After we go back, we will reorganize our troops, select elites, and prepare for war!"
There was a slight hesitation in everyone's eyes. Preparing for war is simple to say, but what is prepared is people and food. They have people, but they don't have much food!
"Take out all the grain stored in the city, including the grain sealed by our government office, and distribute it to the heads of these thirteen families!" Wu Sangui told Wang Huanzhang: "I only need to guarantee that the thirteen families of my Wu family have one month's supply.
It’s enough to provide you with military rations. Don’t worry about what happens after a month!”
"Understood!" Wang Huanzhang hesitated for a moment and immediately responded: "Commander, are you going to burn the boat?"
"If our Qingyang Mansion is not out of trouble within a month, the food will not be of much use. At most, it will only last until the officers and soldiers come to deal with us next year!" Wu Sangui showed a cruel smile and said: "Besides, this commander-in-chief will
I don’t think these other rebels will obediently listen to us and donate their soldiers, horses, food and grass. When the time comes, we still have to see the true meaning of our men. If we don’t feed our brothers, who will work hard for us?
Who is going to rob us of soldiers, horses, food and fodder?"
Upon hearing this, everyone no longer had any doubts.
"The handsome and wise man!"
"Let's all disperse and go do your own thing!" Wu Sangui sat down and waved his hands forcefully: "I will send people to inspect the various troops and horses. If there is any perfunctory or incomprehensible behavior, don't do it.
It’s my fault that Wu Sangui will kill someone when the time comes!”
Everyone was awestruck and retreated one by one with fists in their hands.
Wang Huanzhang was the last one. He looked at Wu Sangui who was sitting there and made sure that Wu Sangui had no other words to tell him. Then he clasped his fists and lowered his head and walked out.
Seeing that everyone had left and calm returned to the lobby of the government office, Wu Sangui took a long breath, couldn't help but look in the direction of Yan'an Mansion, smiled bitterly and shook his head - My Lord Jiang, you
This really looks down upon me, Wu Sangui. Now, I, Wu Sangui, will really become the leader of the bandits.
