Zeng Ying is a smart man, and he sees all the actions of the new Sichuan Governor Wen Anzhi after he arrives in Chongqing.

It can be seen that Wen Anzhi is optimistic about Zeng Ying, which is an excellent opportunity for him.

The former governor Chen Shiqi was Zeng Ying's mentor. It was Chen Shiqi's Jian Ba ​​that Zeng Ying was able to become a general all the way.

But his ambitions obviously went beyond that. The deputy general, general, and even the title of Bo and the Marquis were Zeng Ying's pursuit.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to change his family and joined Wen'anzhi to do things.

Of course, this is very difficult.

After all, Zeng Ying was covered with a strong mark of Chen Shiqi, making Wen Anzhi accept that he needed a process.

So Zeng Ying was not in a hurry, but just talked about it when Wen Anzhi summoned him for the first time, which left a deep impression on him.

Of course, what Zeng Ying said was not empty talk, but his insights over the years.

In the long-term struggle with Zhang Xianzhong, Zeng Ying summarized a set of experience methods. He found that Zhang Xianzhong did not have the ambitions of Li Zicheng. After taking Chengdu, he neither wanted to raise troops north to seize Hanzhong, nor did he prepare to go south to pacify the chieftains in southern Sichuan. Instead, he guarded his own acre of land and lived up to the emperor's addiction.

Therefore, Zeng Ying suggested that Wen'an Yi gradually erode Zhang Xianzhong's control and trap him near Chengdu.

Only move a little at a time can reduce Zhang Xianzhong's vigilance. By the time Zhang Xianzhong completely realized that it was too late, Wen Anzhi could close the net and capture the Western Army in one place.

Such a plan was ineffective for Li Zicheng because Li Zicheng was in love with the world, and any subtle changes would cause him to react strongly.

But Zhang Xianzhong will not. As long as the most personal interests are not passive, Zhang Xianzhong will not sacrifice his life to fight.

Wen Anzhi praised Zeng Ying's idea very much. He also believed that with the current situation, it was not a good choice for the Ming army to attack Chengdu with all their might. If Zhang Xianzhong could be held back and given various Ming troops a chance to get along and get familiar with it, it would be the best.

After all, after Wen Anzhi became the governor of Sichuan, there were three parts of the army under his tent. If the orders were not unified, the internal friction of the army alone would be a fatal problem.

Therefore, Wen'an decided to first stabilize the defense and ensure that Chongqing is worry-free.

This is also the bottom line of the emperor.

When the emperor passed away, the emperor held Wen Anzhi's hands and said to him earnestly that he could accept that Chengdu was caught in the opponent for the time being, but he must keep Chongqing.

Wen Anzhi couldn't understand the emperor's idea too much. The emperor was not in a hurry at all, as if he could have predicted something big would happen in the next six months, one year or even a few years.

But Wen Anzhi had to admit that this was a good thing for him.

If the emperor urged the governor of the army to go out to fight as soon as possible like the late emperor, Wen Anzhi would have to respond hastily without being prepared. In this case, even if the number of soldiers in Ming Dynasty had the advantage, the chances of winning would not exceed 30%.

Zeng Ying also suggested that Wen Anzhi send out post detectives to Chengdu and stationed in this area for a long time to spy on military information.

Zhang Xianzhong is not as good as Li Zicheng and does not pay enough attention to counter-espionage.

Wen Anzhi only needs to pay a very small price to spy on the military information in Chengdu, which is really a good deal.

Of course, selecting personnel is a difficult problem. Wen Anzhi temporarily lacks a confidant who can be absolutely trusted. To put it bluntly, no one can use it.

If you directly use scouts from Zeng Ying and other Lao Ming army, it will definitely not be appropriate.

Yuan Shunjun's night was not qualified for this task.

As for the Shence Army, it was originally the emperor's personal army. If Wen Anzhi chose humans from it, he would be suspected of being usurped.

Therefore, Wen Anzhi had to quickly form a governor's camp, and then select personnel from it to send them to Chengdu to spy on the ground.

At Zeng Ying's suggestion, Wen Anzhi officially began to recruit soldiers from the governor Biao camp, with the scope of the entire Chongqing Prefecture. Those who come to apply for the recruitment must have a clean family background and no record of committing crimes.

Because the soldiers of the Governor Biao Battalion were treated well, a large number of people came to apply for the recruitment soon.

With the help of Zeng Ying, Wen'an Yi recruited a total of 2,000 people and formed his own standard camp.

As for the training method, Wen Anzhi did not follow Zeng Ying's advice, but instead conducted systematic training according to the training method of the Shen Ce Army.

This is a ready-made instructor.

In less than half a month, these newly recruited recruits had a new look.

Usually, the function of the Governor Biao Battalion is to protect the Governor himself. If it is absolutely necessary, the Governor Biao Battalion will not be required to go to fight to kill the enemy in person.

In other words, when it really reached that time, it means that the situation had broken to a certain extent, and the governor's camp needed to go to the battlefield and make a desperate attempt.

Wen Anzhi doesn't need to consider this situation for the time being. All he needs to do is train an army that is absolutely loyal to him. As for the combat effectiveness of this army, it does not need to be the strongest among the Ming army.

So far, Wen Anzhi and Zeng Ying have had a very happy time.

Wen Anzhi did not express his attitude and directly recruited Zeng Ying, and Zeng Ying also maintained the respect he deserved to Wen Anzhi.

Maybe one day Zeng Ying will become Wen Anzhi's direct descendant, but now is obviously not the time.

......

......

"Father, I heard that the Ming court sent Wen Anzhi to replace Chen Shiqi as governor of Sichuan. This time he brought a lot of people."

In the Great Western Palace, Zhang Kewang reported worriedly.

Zhang Xianzhong took a sip of the wine and said indifferently: "Wanger, you are too cautious. Are you just some soldiers? Are we fighting fewer battles with the Ming army over the years? In general, we won more than we win less than we lose?"

"Father, if it were just those unusable Ming troops, I would naturally not be worried. But I heard that there are many remaining troops of the Shun Army in these Ming troops."

Zhang Kewang advised earnestly: "Father, be careful."

"The remaining troops of the Shun Army?"

Zhang Xianzhong raised his eyebrows and said, "What's going on? I hope you can tell me quickly."

Zhang Kewang breathed a sigh of relief, and reported the rumors he heard to Zhang Xianzhong.

"If it's really like what Wang'er said, then this matter is really complicated."

Zhang Xianzhong's eyebrows were almost twisted together, and he slapped his thighs heavily and said, "Wang'er, do you think those guys from the old eight team of Li Chuang are really good at obeying Wen'anzhi to come and beat us?"

The Chuangjun and Xianjun once had an excellent alliance relationship. Although the two sides eventually turned against each other, why is it better than the relationship between the Chuangjun and the Mingjun?

"Tell me, will Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi and others be cheating surrender?"

Zhang Xianzhong himself surrendered to the Ming court many times, but he would raise the anti-flag again soon.

To judge others by oneself, he certainly believed that the remaining troops of the Shun Army were also deceiving surrender.

"When I say to my father, I think this possibility is not ruled out. But we must also make the worst plan."
