Chang Yu had already planned and formulated several strategic goals with Li Muxian when he sent troops to Nanjing. In the first stage, he used a two-pronged approach to let Lu Zhenfei attack east and west on the other side to attract the attention of Wuhu Wang Zamao and the reinforcements behind him, thinking that he was going to cross the river. He took the opportunity to make a surprise attack on Wuhu and at the same time asked Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, and Liu Liangzuo to secretly cross to Chencang and send troops to Anqing.
In the second stage, if the surprise attack to seize the city is successful, the enemy will be lured to Gao Jie to contain the rebels. If the surprise attack to seize the city fails, he will have to fight steadily and fight to the death with the rebels. Of course, recruiting and surrendering is also part of his plan. ,
Now that the first phase is basically completed, the second phase is also proceeding step by step. For example, he is currently using Wuhu as bait to lure the king's body to come for reinforcements, so he is not in a hurry and allows his troops to renovate as much as possible without rushing to send troops to advance.
Baiting is also a skill. If there are tens of thousands of officers and soldiers stationed in Wuhu City at this time, Wang Tizhong will most likely not be in a hurry to come for reinforcements. Instead, he will ask Wang Zamao to retreat to defend, and take a long-term plan to consolidate the territory in his hands first and let the officers and soldiers come. If you lose your troops and attack the city in the future, after all, the defending side will have a big advantage.
But at this time, there were more than a thousand guards in Wuhu city, and the reinforcements were blocked dozens of miles away by water and fire. Anyone defending the city with such a small number of troops would feel that it would be easy to defeat them as long as they add more force, so Wang Tizhong must not hesitate. They are working hard to take Wuhu back into their hands before the reinforcements of officers and soldiers arrive.
As for Chang Yu's risk of going deep alone, as Kuang Ren said, it was just out of boredom that he came out to take a breather and wait and see the situation, and by the way, he extended an olive branch to see if anyone was interested.
A petty thief leader like Wang Zamao could not catch Chang Yu's eyes, but Wang Tizhong left a deep impression on him. He vaguely remembered that after Li Zicheng's defeat, Wang Tizhong killed Bai Wang and Jin Shenghuan and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. When they were in Jiangxi, the Qing Dynasty The army's order to shave their heads came, and Jin Shenghuan, who was originally the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, did it without hesitation. However, Wang Tizhong, who had been a traitor to the army, firmly opposed that he would rather die than shave his head, so Jin Shenghuan took the opportunity to bribe Wang Zamao to kill him. .
Although it is shameful to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, the integrity of not shaving your head is commendable!
In addition, in fact, Bai Wang's general, Chang Yu, did have the intention to recruit him. If he cut off Bai Wang's arm, he would get twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, he asked Wang Zamao to pass the message, but Wang Zamao asked the price for himself first.
After being surprised, Chang Yu felt that it was very reasonable. This guy was a scumbag who surrendered repeatedly in history.
"Li Yan, you should know that when I surrendered to the governor in Taiyuan, he was granted the title of one of the eight pillar states by the imperial court a few days ago, with the rank of general. Liu Tiren and Hao Waoqi were all made generals, and they were all under the command of the governor. Order, simply put, those who surrender to me will have a bright future!" Chang Yu looked at Wang Zamao and smiled.
"Li Yandu...has become the Zhuguo?" Wang Zamao swallowed: "Then what do you think I can be given if I surrender?"
Chang Yu laughed: "What do you think?"
"I, I also want a general soldier..." Wang Zamao hummed, and Chang Yu took a sip: "Are you worthy?"
Wang Zamao was furious: "Why am I not worthy?"
"How are you worthy?" Chang Yu raised his eyebrows, and Wang Zamao suppressed his blush: "How can I not be worthy?"
"How do you deserve it?" Chang Yu rolled his eyes to the extreme!
Ahhhhh, Wang Zamao was scratching for a while and was so angry that he probably realized that he was indeed unworthy: "Then what kind of official position can you give me?"
"Then it depends on what you can do as the superintendent." Chang Yu half-smiled but said, "Now you only have a few soldiers and generals and you don't have any financial resources. It's a burden to come here. What use do I need from you?"
"Who said I don't have any wealth? All my wealth is in the city, and it was all taken away by you..." Wang Zamao was furious, feeling as wronged as a baby, with his eyes red and ready to cry. In just two days, he almost had a mental breakdown and even became a little abnormal. He shouted at Chang Yu with red eyes: "Either you accept my surrender, or you fight with me, you have to think clearly."
Chang Yu almost burst out laughing, this guy was about to surrender, which was such a surprise.
It's no wonder that Wang Zamao talks like crazy. He is so tired that he can no longer bear it mentally and physically. At present, the food and grass are exhausted and there are only four to five thousand half-dead soft-footed shrimps. His confidence gradually collapses. He no longer wants to fight. Let alone attack Wuhu City again, the aura of the little eunuch in front of him had made him lose any fighting spirit. He was even afraid that the little eunuch would suddenly order an attack, and he would not be able to withstand the three hundred cavalry.
Can he be able to kill Li Zicheng's hundreds of thousands of people who have abandoned their armor and slaughtered them? How could he be able to stop someone who came as a lone army with such courage to be far beyond his own? Even among the kings behind him, Bai Wang What can he do?
Go to hell, hold on, why not surrender as soon as possible, eat well and enjoy the benefits in front of you, why put yourself in such a miserable state.
"To be honest, I don't like your family background, and I think it's too much to give you a guerrilla. But if you persuade Wang Tizhong to surrender, even though you can't reach the general soldier, I can at least get you a fifth-grade soldier." How about the above?" Chang Yu half-smiled but Wang Zamao frowned and thought: "What if he is unwilling to surrender?"
Now it was Chang Yu's turn to be stunned. To be honest, he had never thought about the possibility that Wang Tizhong would not surrender. After all, he was a man who could surrender to the Tatars. How could he still insist on refusing to surrender? Could it be that there was God's will in the dark, and he still had to die, and he could not escape death at the hands of Wang Zamao after all.
"If he doesn't surrender, you kill him, and I will guarantee that you will be awarded the General Soldier Seal." Chang Yu looked serious, and Wang Zamao was overjoyed: "This is true!"
"If I didn't keep my word, how could I have recruited so many generals? If you don't believe me, let Li Yan talk to you later." Chang Yu snorted coldly, and Wang Zamao was surprised: "Li Yan is here too?"
"Li Yan may have reached the other side at this time." Chang Yu chuckled: "Maybe he is on his way to Anqing."
"Ah! You guys, you are going to attack Anqing." Wang Zamao finally reacted: "I see, that's it, this is all a cover-up!"
"Those things don't matter to you, why don't you just tell me that you can fix Wang Tizhong?" Chang Yu smiled coldly. Wang Zamao recovered his thoughts and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say. If he doesn't surrender, I’ll kill him, but no matter what the outcome, I’ll still have sex with you, how about that?”
"It's a deal!" Chang Yu solemnly said, feeling ecstatic in his heart. He unexpectedly gained something unexpectedly after going out for a walk. Wang Zamao got twice the result with half the effort!
"A gentleman's words are hard to follow. We heroes in the green forest have always been loyal. If I say I'll follow you, I won't regret it." Wang Zamao patted his chest: "As expected, Wang Tizhong will be here tonight at the latest tomorrow morning. At that time, I will persuade him to surrender, and if he doesn’t obey, I will kill him!”
"Okay, but you have to be careful not to get killed by him." Chang Yu sneered: "For safety reasons, it is best to keep the current situation unchanged so as not to make him suspicious."
"Are you saying that our troops in the north will continue to besiege the city here even if we don't withdraw?" Wang Zamao's mind was spinning quickly, and Chang Yu snorted: "The governor will have a result at noon tomorrow, or it will be between you and Wang Tizhong will come to surrender together, or bring his head to see you, and don't wait until it is too late. I will not hide it from you, there are more than 20,000 officers and soldiers thirty miles to the north to advance at any time!"
"Okay! If I don't succeed in killing him, I will attack him secretly, and I'll kill you again!" Wang Zamao nodded heavily. He thought it was incredible. Half an hour ago, he gritted his teeth and vowed to destroy the city. , and now he is about to surrender, and why is he so forced to surrender voluntarily?
Chang Yu hummed: "Then I'll wait for your good letter tomorrow, so I can leave before sending it off!"
"Wait a minute." Wang Zamao suddenly chuckled: "Since I'm about to surrender, don't you want to show your sincerity?"
Chang Yu was startled: "What do you mean?"
"To be honest, I have run out of ammunition and food now. Since I have decided to surrender, you can always give me some food and grass first!" What Wang Zamao said is actually very reasonable. In the past, the big shots in the imperial court mostly recruited traitor troops. Show some sincerity first.
But Chang Yu is not one of those big guys. Hearing this, he was furious and cursed: "I didn't ask you to show your sincerity as a guarantee. You still have the fucking nerve to ask me for it. Don't forget that it was you who fucked me hard on the pole." If you want to surrender, have I forced you to surrender..."
Wang Zamao was frothing and his face was red. Why is this little eunuch so angry? If he doesn't give it, he won't give it. How can he be so angry! I feel very aggrieved. If you hadn't forced me to do so, would I have surrendered with my current virtue...
"If you don't mention this, I have forgotten. If you dare to launch troops to rob me again, I will refuse your surrender and make you pay with blood. If you don't believe it, I will open your eyes at noon tomorrow!" Chang Yu yelled.
"Okay, okay, why are you in such a hurry? You can't go back on your word. People in the world are worth a thousand dollars, and they must do what they say! I surrendered when I said I would surrender. I won't go back on my word, and you can't go back on your word either..." Wang Za Mao was afraid that something might happen again and hurriedly gave in. Chang Yu held back his laughter and said something to him. Seeing that it was already dark, he ordered him to withdraw his troops and return to the sacred mountain in the west of the city. He also summoned the bandits who were out to plunder and prepared to siege the city.
