Chapter 71: Game

(The third update is for the leader of the alliance to be in charge of military and national affairs! Please recommend votes!)

The relationship between Zuo Liangyu and He Tengjiao seems to be intimate, but in fact it is very subtle.

At least at this moment, Zuo Liangyu felt that He Tengjiao was not in the same mind as him.

Recovering the four palaces is light!

Although there are only 70,000 to 80,000 people in the Baiwang tribe, they are all elites of Li Zicheng tribe, and they are definitely not refugee masters who are forced to do so.

Zuo Liangyu was not sure about dealing with such an elite Shun Army. Even if his troops were several times that of the opponent, it would be difficult to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

What's more, Zuo Liangyu didn't want to destroy Bai Wang's tribe.

Today's Chu Town is very similar to that of Liao Town back then.

When Emperor Chongzhen collected Liao guarantors and raised the Guanning Army a year with millions of taels of silver in order to fight against the Eastern Escaping.

But Zu Dashou was not in a hurry to take the initiative to fight, but hid in the city as a turtle.

The reason is very simple. If the Eastern Barbarians were destroyed, the court would still allocate millions of taels to Zu Dashou a year to support these soldiers?

Raising a bandit and respecting oneself is an essential quality for any general holding great power.

As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit dies, and a lackey is cooked.

How come Zuo Liangyu doesn’t understand this truth?

Today's Bai Wang tribe is like the Donglu of that year, and Zuo Liangyu is the Zuo Dashou.

If you want to continue to live like a native emperor, Zuo Liangyu cannot destroy the Baiwang tribe. You must use this as a bargaining chip to threaten the court and obtain continuous benefits.

Of course, with Zu Dashou's past lessons, Zuo Liangyu would not allow Bai Wang's tribe to grow.

Now that he is sandwiched between the Shun Army and the imperial court, it is the most ideal situation.

If Bai Wang's tribe continued to erode Huguang Prefecture, Zuo Liangyu's territory would shrink and might even be annexed, just like Zu Dashou in that year, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty to become a slave.

Maintaining the status quo is Zuo Liangyu's idea, so it is definitely not a good choice to take the initiative to attack the four palaces under the control of Bai Wang's army.

"Zuo admires He Futai Gongzhong's country. However, Jingzhou, Xiangyang, De'an and Chengtian's four prefectures are easy to defend, and they may not be so easy to conquer."

Zuo Liangyu deliberately turned his tone cold, hoping that He Tengjiao would realize his mistake and take back the stupid words he had just said.

He Tengjiao sneered in his heart and thought to himself that this old fox is really hard to deal with.

However, he had already thought of a solution in advance and said with a laugh: "The Marquis misunderstood. I did not say that the Marquis would force the Marquis to attack the four palaces."

Zuo Liangyu was stunned when he heard this.

Could this He Tengjiao be stupid? If he didn't send troops to attack the four palaces, could Bai Wang still lead his Shun army to withdraw from the city?

"What strategy does He Futai have?"

He Tengjiao cleared his throat and said, "Why didn't the Marquis send the first and second battalions to sue?"

Fake surrender?

Zuo Liangyu shook his head repeatedly: "It's not appropriate, Bai Wang is not a fool. How could he not see if he surrenders? He is afraid that he will lose his troops in vain."

"Of course, it must be true. If the marquis's direct troops go to the surrender, Bai Wang will certainly not believe it. But if Jin Shenghuan, who has a friendship with the bandits in Shaanxi, and the two generals Ma Jinzhong, went, I'm afraid Bai Wang would be somewhat moved, right?"

He Tengjiao's words made Zuo Liangyu hesitate.

Jin Shenghuan and Ma Jinzhong were all from Shaanxi, and their subordinates were basically Shaanxi soldiers.

At the beginning, the two surrendered to the official army one after another and were incorporated by Zuo Liangyu.

Although the two men's troops are not Zuo Liangyu's direct line, they are the most capable army in Zuo Liangyu's hands. Zuo Liangyu's heart is actually a little conflicted. What is happy is that he can rely on the two men's troops to be the vanguard to defeat the enemy. What is worried is whether the two men's troops can rely on the life and death of their lives or whether they can rely on them.

"If Bai Wang accepted the gold and the surrender of the two generals Ma, then the Marquis would have an internal support in Bai Wang's army and could easily collect the four palaces."

He Tengjiao swallowed and said, "As for the Marquis' concern that the birds were all hidden, the rabbits were dead and the dogs were cooked, I thought it was not necessary. Although Bai Wang's tribe was strong, compared with Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's tribe, it was the difference between ants and giant elephants. He destroyed Bai Wang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and the Eastern Barbarians. The soldiers under the Marquis's command were the most elite in the Ming Dynasty. The court was still pointing at the Marquis's marquis. How could it destroy the Great Wall by itself?"

He Tengjiao is best at judging people's hearts. He saw that Zuo Liangyu was cold in this matter because he was afraid that the court would destroy the bridges across the river, so he prepared some remarks.

Although these remarks are not very gorgeous, they hit people's hearts and made Zuo Liangyu a little shaken.

Yes, although the situation in Chu Town is similar to that in Liao Town back then, it is not exactly the same.

Liao Town faces only one strong enemy, and Chu Town faces not only Bai Wang, but also Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and even the Donglu. It can only be said that Bai Wang's tribe is the most direct threat faced by Chu Town. Recovering the four prefectures and unifying Huguang is only the first step, and it is still far from restoring Shenzhou. At this time, the imperial court is naturally unlikely to turn its back directly.

In other words, the court did not want to cross the river to destroy bridges, but it would not be until the world was pacified.

From this point of view, if we can collect the four deeds without losing too much force, even if we cannot go further in the matter of title, we will be good to get a gold and silver reward.

"Even if there is an internal support, the mobilization of the army will consume a lot. How can we guarantee the food and fodder? "

Zuo Liangyu's attitude finally softened, and He Tengjiao heard it and was happy in his heart.

"Mr. Please rest assured, the food and fodder are included in my official position. As for how the Marquis acts after the city is destroyed, I will not interfere."

Zuo Liangyu's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Did He Tengjiao hinted that he could plunder the city at will after breaking the city?

After all, the four prefectures are now under the rule of the Shun Army, so there is no problem in robbing the city after breaking the city.

Zuo Liangyu has always done this.

The components of each battalion under his command were too complicated, and it was difficult to restrain it by relying solely on military orders. Therefore, Zuo Liangyu came up with such a way to let the soldiers of each battalion plunder the people at will.

Zuo Jun was still a little concerned about the people under the imperial court. But Zuo Liangyu could of course plunder the "rebellious people" under the imperial court without any scruples.

It’s up to them to be born under the rule of Shunjun.

Since He Tengjiao agreed to turn a blind eye, Zuo Liangyu could completely let go of her hands and feet.

Anyway, Huguang is the world of them. As long as He Tengjiao doesn't say it, the court will not know what happened. At that time, Isn't it beautiful to put all the blame on Bai Wang?

Zuo Liangyu's work depends entirely on the interests. After He Tengjiao's analysis just now, he gradually found that the benefits this plan could bring to him were far higher than maintaining the status quo, and he had already set his mind on seven or eight points.

"Let Zuo think about it again."

Zuo Liangyu closed his eyes and analyzed it for a while, and finally made up his mind to say, "Let the soldiers rob and rob the troops for three days. Zuo asked He Futai to guarantee that the quasi-army would break through the city and rob and rob. If He Futai agreed, Zuo would do it!"
