Zhang Dingguo With Hong Chengchou's qualifications and experience, he would not have taken these young generals too seriously.
But this Zhang Dingguo is indeed too famous.
If we talk about the most capable fighter among the Western Army, Zhang Dingguo can definitely be ranked at the forefront.
"If Zhang Dingguo is commanding the troops, it means they have discovered that we have entered Baoning."
Hong Chengchou pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you see clearly how many people Zhang Dingguo brought?"
"This seems to be fifty thousand, eh, no, it should be about seventy or eighty thousand."
Liu Jinzhong just focused on running away, and he didn't think about surveying the number of enemy troops.
But looking at the posture, there must be tens of thousands of people.
Of course Hong Chengchou was not satisfied with this answer.
He ordered Liu Jinzhong to go out of the city to test out the number of enemy troops, so that he could make targeted arrangements.
But now Liu Jinzhong's eyes completely darkened.
He closed his eyes and patted his head and gave him a number.
How did he arrange it?
"Oh, General Liu, how many people do you think there are in the West?"
Hong Chengchou adjusted his tone and stared at Liu Jinzhong intently.
Liu Jinzhong could no longer bear the tremendous pressure, and he knelt down in the tunnel with a plop and said: "Your Majesty Governor, I really don't know.
Please forgive me, Your Majesty Governor."
"Hmph, since the governor has entrusted you with an order, you should do it with all your heart.
But now you throw out a number at random, are you trying to make things difficult for me?"
Hong Chengchou snorted coldly and said, "Come here, drag him out and punish forty army sticks."
Liu Jinzhong was horrified.
He didn't expect that Hong Chengchou was serious about it.
"My Lord Governor, please forgive me.
Lord Governor, please forgive me."
He kowtowed to Hong Chengchou desperately, praying for Hong Chengchou's forgiveness, but Hong Chengchou seemed determined and completely ignored Liu Jinzhong's plea for mercy.
Two of Hong Chengchou's soldiers stepped into the house, picked up Liu Jinzhong and walked out.
Although Liu Jinzhong struggled desperately, it was to no avail.
He was dragged out like a dead dog.
Everyone in the room looked at each other.
Governor Hong looks like a good old man on weekdays, but it's really scary when he gets really angry.
Hong Chengchou picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, closed his eyes and asked quietly: "Governor Tong, what do you think we should do next?"
Just as Tong Yanghe was about to answer, he heard Liu Jinzhong's screams coming from the yard, and his heart suddenly thumped.
"It seems that Zhang Dingguo has never been in contact with Zhang Kewang.
The Governor may wish to make some use of this point."
Tong Yang and Shen Ran said.
"Oh, tell me in detail."
Hong Chengchou nodded slightly and said with interest.
"Master Governor, Zhang Dingguo came from the east and must have seen the fighting situation in Baoning.
Why don't we call the battle in front of the formation and say that we have wiped out all the Western bandits in Baoning City in one fell swoop?"
Tong Yanghe narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Not only Zhang Xianzhong, but also Zhang Kewang, all the Western thieves in Baoning City were wiped out.
Anyway, Zhang Dingguo doesn't know the truth, so he doesn't just believe whatever we say."
"It's somewhat interesting."
Hong Chengchou twirled his beard carefully, pondered for a moment and said, "What if Zhang Dingguo doesn't believe it?"
Tong Yanghe smiled lightly and said: "Whether he believes it or not, we have already said it.
It is best if he believes it.

If he doesn't believe it, will the soldiers under his command believe it?"
After hearing this, Hong Chengchou laughed loudly and said, "What a brilliant plan.
What a brilliant plan.
Governor Tong's plan can help me catch the thief in one fell swoop."
To put it bluntly, Tong Yanghe's plan is a psychological warfare, taking advantage of the information asymmetry between the two parties to make a big fuss.
Zhang Dingguo came a step late and did not know what happened in the Battle of Baoning.
He only saw the ending.
Therefore, as long as the Qing army throws out an ending, it is likely to confuse Zhang Dingguo.
To take a step back, even if Zhang Dingguo himself doesn't believe it, most of his soldiers will still believe it.
After all, everyone has preconceptions.
After seeing the tragedy in Boryeong City, it is difficult to believe that there are still people in the Western Army alive.
The backbone of the Western Army was Zhang Xianzhong.
After learning that Zhang Xianzhong and even Zhang Kewang were dead, the Western Army would definitely be demoralized.
At that time, Zhang Dingguo will have all-powerful means, and he may not be able to do anything.
The most important thing is that what they say is seven points true and three points false.
In this way, the possibility of Western soldiers believing it will be very high.
If what they say is 30% true and 70% false, then it is normal for the other party not to believe it.
"Okay, let's do it like this.
When Zhang Dingguo comes to the city, we will say so."
Hong Chengchou believed that there was no need for the Qing army to go out of the city to fight Zhang Dingguo at this moment, and they only needed to wait for the Western army to attack.
People make impulsive decisions when they are angry.
Hong Chengchou had already weaved a big web, and he was just waiting for Zhang Dingguo to fall into it.
After overwhelming the Green Camp Army led by Liu Jinzhong, Zhang Dingguo ordered the march to Weicheng.
Obviously, the main force of the Qing army has arrived in this area, but Zhang Dingguo is fearless.
The strength of his army is enough to fight any Qing army of any organization.
But when he led his troops to arrive at the gate of Weicheng, the Qing troops on top of the city suddenly shouted in unison: "Zhang Xianzhong and Zhang Kewang are dead.
The remaining thieves surrender, please forgive me for not dying."
Zhang Dingguo was immediately furious.
This is clearly intended to disrupt the morale of the military.
"Don't listen to their noise here and attack Wei City."
Zhang Dingguo waved his hand, and the soldiers swarmed forward.
Most of them are direct descendants of Zhang Dingguo.
Although I felt a little uncomfortable after hearing what the Qing army said, I didn't completely lose the desire to fight.
There were fictitious and real facts on the battlefield, and what the Qing army said was not necessarily true.
It would be best if Zhang Xianzhong and Zhang Kewang were not dead.
Even if they were really dead, this Western Army would still have a loyal target, and that would be Zhang Dingguo.
Even if Zhang Dingguo can replace Zhang Xianzhong and become the new leader of the Daxi regime, then these Western soldiers who follow Zhang Dingguo will gain a share of the service of the dragon.
Seeing that the Western Army soldiers were not affected much, Hong Chengchou looked a little unhappy.
Huh, they are really lawless, ruthless and unjust people.
Even if their own lord is killed in battle, they will not be affected at all.
He ordered all the soldiers in the army to be prepared to show the Western army a little color.
Since the Western Army led by Zhang Dingguo traveled a long way from Daba Mountain to this point, they did not carry any siege equipment and only made some temporary ladders.
Now these soldiers rushed towards Wei City carrying ladders, facing the Qing army's arrow rain without any fear.
Some soldiers were wounded and killed by random arrows, and their companions immediately stepped on them.
The Western Army did not take too long to rush to the city.

The walls of Weicheng are not very tall, and after the ladders are erected, they can even be placed directly on the crenellations.
The Western soldiers climbed up the ladder skillfully and began to move towards the city.
The Qing army on top of the city smashed down some stones and rolling logs, and many Western soldiers screamed in agony and fell heavily
