The third update, asking for votes for recommendation for the leader of the alliance, I am dedicated to military affairs and national affairs.
The relationship between Zuo Liangyu and He Tengjiao seems to be close, but in fact it is very subtle.
At least at this moment, Zuo Liangyu felt that He Tengjiao was not of the same mind as him.
To recapture the four mansions is easy to say.
Although there are only 70,000 to 80,000 people in Baiwang's tribe, they are all the elites of Li Zicheng's tribe, and they are by no means coerced refugee masters.
Zuo Liangyu asked himself that he was not completely sure about dealing with such an elite army.
Even if his strength is several times that of the opponent, it will be difficult to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
What's more, Zuo Liangyu didn't want to destroy the Baiwang tribe.
Today's Chu Town is very similar to Liao Town back then.
At that time, Emperor Chongzhen collected Liao's salary and supported the Guan Ning Army with millions of taels of silver a year in order to fight against the Eastern invaders.
But Zu Dashou was not in a hurry to take the initiative to fight.
Instead, he hid in the city and was a coward.
The reason is very simple.
If Donglu is destroyed, the imperial court will allocate several million taels to Zu Dashou a year to support these military masters.
Raising the enemy with self-respect is an essential quality for any general who holds great power.
As the saying goes, if the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey will be cooked.
How could Zuo Liangyu not understand this?
Today's Baiwang tribe is like the Donglu back then, and Zuo Liangyu is the original Zu Dashou.
If he wants to continue living like a Tu emperor, Zuo Liangyu cannot eliminate the Baiwang tribe.
He must use this as a bargaining chip to blackmail the court and obtain a steady stream of benefits.
Of course, Zuo Liangyu will not let Bai Wang's tribe grow stronger, given the lessons learned from Zu Dashou.
Now he is sandwiched between Shunjun and the imperial court, which is the most ideal situation.
If the Baiwang tribe continues to encroach on Huguang Prefecture, Zuo Liangyu's territory will shrink and may even be annexed, just like Zu Dashou, who was surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and became a slave.
It was Zuo Liangyu's idea to maintain the status quo, so taking the initiative to attack the four mansions under the control of Bai Wang's tribe was definitely not a good choice.
"Zuo admires Mr.
He Futai for his loyalty to the country.
However, the four cities of Jingzhou, Xiangyang, De'an, and Chengtian are strong and easy to defend.
I'm afraid they won't be that easy to conquer."
Zuo Liangyu deliberately kept his tone cold, hoping that He Tengjiao would realize his mistake and take back the stupid words he just said.
He Tengjiao sneered in his heart, secretly thinking that this old fox was really difficult to deal with.
However, he had already thought of a countermeasure in advance and said with a smile: "The Marquis misunderstood.
I did not tell the Marquis to attack the four mansions."
Zuo Liangyu was stunned when he heard this.
This He Tengjiao must be stupid.
If he didn't send troops to attack the four mansions, would Bai Wang still be able to lead his subordinates to withdraw from the city?
"You might as well tell He Futai what his plan is."
He Tengjiao cleared his throat and said, "Why don't the Marquis send one or two battalions to pretend to surrender?"
Fake surrender Zuo Liangyu shook his head repeatedly: "No, Bai Wang is not a fool.
If he pretends to surrender, how could he not see that he is afraid that he will lose his troops in vain?"
"Of course, the fake surrender must be true.
If the battalions directly under the command of the Marquis came to fake the surrender, Bai Wang would certainly not believe it.
But if the two generals Jin Shenghuan and Ma Jinzhong, who have fellow villagers with the Shaanxi bandits, went there, I am afraid Bai Wang would be tempted.
Bar" He Tengjiao's words made Zuo Liangyu hesitate.
Jin Shenghuan and Ma Jinzhong were both from Shaanxi, and their troops were basically Shaanxi soldiers.
The two of them surrendered to the army one after another and were taken under Zuo Liangyu's command.

Although the two troops are not direct descendants of Zuo Liangyu, they are the most capable troops in Zuo Liangyu's hands.
Regarding this, Zuo Liangyu actually had some contradictions in his heart.
Fortunately, he could rely on the two men as vanguards to defeat the enemy.
What worries me is that if the two of them are not direct relatives, it is still unclear whether they can be relied upon in life and death.
"If Bai Wang accepts the surrender of Generals Jin and Ma, then the Marquis will have internal contacts in Bai Wang's army and can easily take over the four mansions."
He Tengjiao took a gulp and spat and said: "As for the Marquis' worry about the birds being wiped out and the rabbits dead and the dogs cooked, I think it is unnecessary.
Although Bai Wang's tribe is powerful, compared with Li Zichen's and Zhang Xianzhong's, there is a gap between ants and giant elephants. .
After destroying Bai Wang, there are still Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Donglu.
The soldiers under the command of the Marquis are the most elite in the Ming Dynasty.
The imperial court is still pointing at the Marquis.
How can it destroy the Great Wall?"
He Tengjiao was the best at reading people's hearts.
He saw that Zuo Liangyu's cold attitude towards this matter was because he was afraid that the imperial court would cross the river and demolish the bridge, so he prepared some words.
Although this rhetoric was not very flashy, it hit people's hearts directly and made Zuo Liangyu a little shaken.
Yes, although the situation in Chu Town is similar to that of Liao Town, it is not exactly the same.
The only strong enemy faced by Liao Town was Donglu, while the strong enemy faced by Chu Town was not only Bai Wang, but also Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and even Donglu.
It can only be said that the Baiwang Department is the most direct threat facing Chu Town.
Recovering the four prefectures and unifying Huguang is only the first step, and it is still far from regaining China.
At this time, it is naturally unlikely that the court will fall out directly.
In other words, it’s not that the imperial court doesn’t want to burn bridges, but it won’t until the world is peaceful.
From this point of view, if we can capture the four palaces without losing too much military strength, even if we can't go further in the matter of knighthood, it will be good to get some gold and silver rewards.
"Even if there is internal support, the mobilization of the army will consume a lot of money.
How can Futai guarantee the food supply?"
Zuo Liangyu's attitude finally softened, and He Tengjiao heard this and felt happy in his heart.
"Please rest assured, Lord Marquis, I will take care of the food and crops matters.
As for how Lord Marquis will act after the city is broken, I will not interfere."
Zuo Liangyu's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Is He Tengjiao implying that after the city is broken, looting can be carried out wantonly?
After all, the four prefectures are now under the rule of Shunjun, so there is no problem in plundering the city after breaking it.
Zuo Liangyu has always done this.
The composition of each battalion under his command is too complex, and it is difficult to control them solely by military orders.
So Zuo Liangyu came up with a way to let soldiers from each battalion plunder the people at will.
Zuo Jun still had some concerns about the people under the imperial court.
But of course Zuo Liangyu could plunder those "rebellious people" under the rule of the army without any scruples.
It's probably because they were born under the rule of Shunjun.
Since He Tengjiao agreed to turn a blind eye, Zuo Liangyu could completely let go.
Anyway, Huguang is their world.
As long as He Tengjiao doesn't tell, the court will not know what happened.
Wouldn't it be nice to put all the responsibility on Bai Wang?
Zuo Liangyu did everything based on profit.
After some analysis by He Tengjiao just now, he gradually discovered that the benefits this plan could bring to him were far higher than maintaining the status quo, and he had already made up his mind about it.
"Let Zuo think about it again."
Zuo Liangyu closed his eyes and analyzed it, and finally made up his mind: "If He Futai allows troops to plunder for three days, Zuo will ask He Futai to promise to allow the army to break through the city and plunder for three days.
If He Futai agrees, Zuo will Done" :
