"Yes, I have thanked General Zhennan for the reward, and I have resigned." After hearing that there was a silver reward, the messenger who originally looked tired immediately showed a happy smile and quickly thanked him and left.
"Everyone, did you understand what the messenger just said?" At this time, Niu Hulu Fu Sen asked the people sitting down emotionally.
When many people sat down and didn't understand what Niu Hulu Fu Sen wanted to express, they heard Aixinjueluo Yongqi ask with doubt: "General Zhennan is talking about the arrival of the bandit leader." Something about Xiangcheng?"
"Fifth Brother is right, what I am referring to is the arrival of the thief leader." Niu Hulu Fu Sen looked at Aixinjueluo Yongqi and nodded with satisfaction.
"Everyone knows that the reason why the rebel army has grown to this extent is inseparable from the traitor Zhang Rui. If he is hiding in Jiangning Mansion now, it will probably take a lot of effort for us to wipe out this group of rebels."
"However, the leader of the bandits came to Xiangcheng regardless of life and death. This is an opportunity, and it is a God-given opportunity. Do you think what would happen if the leader of the bandits was captured and killed by our army in this battle?" Niu Hulu Fu. Sen said slowly while suppressing the excitement in his heart.
The hidden meaning of Niu Hulu Fu Sen's words couldn't help but make Aisinjueluo Yongqi's eyes light up, and he replied excitedly: "If the leader of the thieves dies, then this group of rebel thieves will be in chaos. Then they will fight each other for power, and we will reap the benefits."
"Fifth Brother is right. As long as there is a big group, we can fight in waves and defeat them individually. In this way, it will be much easier to defeat the thieves." Niu Hulu Fu Sen echoed. got up.
"General Zhennan told Fifth Brother very well, that's what happened..." As soon as Niu Hulu Fu Sen finished speaking, a voice immediately echoed in the conference hall.
"That's it. God has indeed favored our Qing Empire. Since the leader of the thieves wants to die, it is the time for this group of rebel thieves to die..."
"Yes, yes... In this case, it will be easy to destroy this group of thieves..."
…
Seeing the cheers and cheers as they sat down, Aisinjueluo Yongqi was also very happy. However, suddenly, as if he thought of something again, he frowned and asked Niu Hulu Fu Sen: "General Zhennan's idea is indeed a good one, but how are we going to capture the leader of the thief?"
"Well, that's a good question, Fifth Brother. This is the most important thing for us." Being able to stay awake at all times made Niu Hulu Fu Sen nod and praise Aixinjueluo Yongqi again.
"Do you have any good suggestions, sir?" Niu Hulu Fu Sen asked everyone sitting down.
"Disaster…"
"It's hard..."
At this time, the green camp generals below began to discuss in whispers. However, no one dared to respond to Niu Hulu Fu Sen.
"It can't be that easy. This band of thieves is already strong, not to mention the guards of the bandit leader..."
"Don't mention it. I have fought against rebels a lot. Such rebels are really difficult to deal with. To be honest, it is really difficult for my weak soldiers to defeat them. Now I can only rely on the Manchurian cavalry to make it possible. defeat…"
"I think so. Only the cavalry of the Eight Banners can reproduce the power of the Qing army..."
………
Although he was a little angry when he heard the whispers of the green camp generals below, Niu Hulu Fu Sen couldn't get angry at all.
It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he doesn't dare.
After all, most of the green camp generals were caught up by the rebels from the south all the way to the north, so it is normal to feel fear in their hearts. If he had forced them into a hurry because of some trivial matter and they had defected to the rebel side, he would have become a criminal of the Qing Dynasty.
Moreover, Niu Hulu Fu Sen does not expect these green camp generals, who have been frightened by the rebels, as long as they don't cause trouble and help him draw in the rebel forces.
After all, the current priority is to deal with the rebels first. As for those guys who dare to work but do not contribute, they can still have a "settlement of accounts" after the rebels are suppressed.
"The country of our Qing Dynasty must still be guarded by my elite Eight Banners disciples of the Qing Dynasty." The timidity of the green camp general below made Niu Hulu Fu Sen have to think to himself in his heart.
"He Dutong, what do you think about the capture and killing of the thief Zhang Rui?" Seeing that no one answered, Niu Hulu. Fu Sen could only name him and look at Eji, the commander of the Xiaoqi Camp he had brought from Jilin. .He Mueller asked.
"Back to General Zhennan, I am a rough guy and can't think of any good ideas for the time being. I obey the general's orders. I will fight wherever the general tells me to fight. Even if I risk my life, I will never do anything. Don't back down." Eji Hemuler stepped out and replied.
"Okay... Sir He's loyalty to the country is commendable. After the war, this general will definitely go to the imperial court." Niu Hulu Fu Sen praised Eji He Mule and stretched out his hand to motion for him to sit back.
"Agui, what do you think about this?" Niu Hulu Fu Sen continued to ask.
"General Zhennan, I think this slave thinks that there is always a saying in the art of war: Use the right combination to win by surprise. If you want to capture the leader of the thieves, you must attack by surprise." Zhang Jia and Agui, who were named by Niu Hulu and Fu Sen, came out. replied.
"Well, that's good, keep talking." Niu Hulu Fu Sen nodded in approval.
"Yes, General." Zhang Jia Agui continued.
"It has been said since ancient times that to capture the thief, capture the king first. We understand this truth, and rebel thieves cannot understand this truth no matter how ignorant they are."
"So I believe that if you want to capture the thief leader in a surprise attack, you must first weaken the guards around the thief leader as much as possible. And if you want to weaken these guards, you must put enough pressure on the thief army on the frontal battlefield. Only then can the thief leader send more guards around him. When the time comes, we can use cavalry charges to penetrate the battlefield, and we will definitely be able to catch the rebels by surprise."
"Okay... Agui's idea is good. Sir, do you have any other good ideas?" Niu Hulu and Fu Sen praised happily, then looked at the people sitting down and continued to ask.
Although everyone was talking a lot when they sat down, they didn't have any particularly good ideas. The senior officials and generals named by Niu Hulu and Fu Sen only added some opinions to Zhang Jia and Agui's opinions.
Niu Hulu and Fu Sen saw that everyone sitting down had no good suggestions, so he discussed with Fucha, Fu Heng and others for a while again and decided:
On the condition of giving up dealing with the rebel East Route Army, or even tacitly agreeing to abandon several cities in the east, just to hold back the rebel East Route Army with the minimum strength. The entire Jiangnan bandit suppression camp went all out to attack the anti-bandit Southwest Route Army in order to kill the bandit Zhang Rui in Xiangcheng.
