Chapter 46: Contest Next "Chess Game" Cheng Mingzhong frowned.
When it comes to organizing food and supplies, and communicating with others, he has always been able to do it with ease.
But in terms of strategizing and grasping fighter opportunities, he was more than a little behind Dong Tuanxiao.
In a hurry, it was impossible to figure out the riddle the other party was playing.
"An army of 300,000 troops was stationed outside the city of Huai'an and could not advance for several months."
Seeing that the other party was still unable to be in tune with himself, Dong Tuanxiao sighed softly and his voice became extremely low, "We must borrow strength from others.
So.
Dong Moucai forcefully crossed the Yangtze River at all costs and went straight to Zhu Butcher’s back.”
"Sir, you are so smart."
Cheng Mingzhong cupped his hands and praised him unintentionally.
He had already heard what the other party said just now, and his ears were already numb, and there was no need to explain it so clearly.
"And Butcher Zhu dared to leave Wu thief Yongchun alone in Yangzhou to guard his retreat.
It was obvious that he had great trust in this thief's ability.
As long as Wu thief did not send the urgent document to his desk, I am afraid he would not do anything for him.
This distraction."
Dong Tuanxiao knew that Cheng Mingzhong didn't understand, so he smiled and continued to add calmly.
"This is natural."
Cheng Mingzhong nodded gently again, with a bit of admiration in his words.
"Although you, Butcher Zhu, are from a humble background, you are worthy of the four words "know people well and take charge of them".
"The city wall of Yangzhou City is tall and was renovated at the beginning of the year.
Although Dong's troops were several times that of the Wu thieves, it was impossible to break through them in a hurry.
On the other hand, this Jiangwan New City looks like a small place. ground, but Zhu was concentrated in it.
The most critical firearms workshop in the hands of thieves must not be missed."
Dong Tuanxiao smiled and asked very confidently, "Now that Dong has cut off the canal outside the city, and he is attacking every day, guess what, then inside Yangzhou City.
Will the Wu thief jump in a hurry?"
"Surround the place and call for help, sir, you have to surround the place and call for help."
Cheng Mingzhong suddenly realized, let out a low scream, and then quickly covered his mouth.
"Don't be so careful.
Thief Wu is not that easily fooled."
Dong Tuanxiao smiled and shook his head gently.
"Of course it's good to be able to surround the point and call for reinforcements, but since Wu Thief can be the leader of the five armies, he will definitely not be easily fooled."
"Then" Cheng Mingzhong suddenly became dizzy.
He didn't know what kind of dog-skin plaster Dong Tuanxiao was going to sell.
"Dong carefully inquired about Wu Thief's past achievements and found that he is indeed worthy of the eight words "bold and careful, wise and brave"" Dong Tuanxiao glanced at him, with a bit of contentment in his eyes, "And now he The only shortcoming is that his prestige is not enough to convince the public.
Not only is he not as good as Luo Luzeng, he is even far behind Luo Guanzhong and Huang Zheng who stayed in the city. " "So, sir?"
Cheng Mingzhong finally had something in his mind, raised his head, and asked hesitantly.
"The key to this plan is to attack the heart."
Dong Tuanxiao smiled and nodded vigorously, "The fighting under Jiangwan City was so fierce.
Over in Yangzhou, even if Wu Thief could calm down and refuse to save him, the other thieves' minds would be affected. , there will inevitably be chaos.
And the firearms and medicine produced in Jiangwan New City cannot be transported to Huai'an by water for a long time.
Even if Zhu Butcher has more trust in Wu Thief, he may have to think about whether he is trusting someone."
"Hiss" Cheng Mingzhong heard this and took a deep breath.
The serial plan, this is the standard serial plan, not only takes into account the reaction of Wu Yongchun, but also the reactions of other thieves who stayed in Yangzhou, and even Zhu Bayi, who is hundreds of miles away.
At this juncture, any important figure in the rebel army, including Zhu Tutu, had doubts about Wu Yongchun's commanding ability.
The Huai'an Army's southern defense line would be hanging on by a thread, and Dong Tuanxiao did not need to fight for temporary gains and losses, just like himself.

As he said, as long as he stayed outside Jiangwan City, he could just sit back and wait for the enemy to collapse without a fight.
For a moment, he was full of admiration for Dong Tuanxiao.
However, the other party suddenly laughed in a low voice and shook his head gently, "The credit for wiping out the two rivers is too great.
It can only and must be taken away from the Prime Minister.
Dong Mou is just making a statement.
How can I take on the role of comfort envoy?
So, being an idle guy who breaks the situation is just the right thing."
As he spoke, the expression on his face turned out to be a bit uninterested.
This time, there was no need for Dong Tuanxiao to explain.
As Si Tongzhi, the Meng Yuan envoy to eastern Zhejiang, Cheng Mingzhong also knew that within the imperial court, the Tuotuo and Hama factions were already at loggerheads.
If Tuotuo cannot destroy Zhu Chongjiu in this battle, he will definitely be bitten to death by his opponent.
And if he returns triumphantly with the power of victory, what awaits the people of Hama is probably a glass of poisonous wine.
Therefore, Dong Tuanxiao must control his efforts, not only to be the one who breaks the situation, but also to hand over the first achievement to others without leaving any trace.
Otherwise, even if the remnants of powerful people like him and Hama, who had escaped from his thoughts after the war, wanted to deal with him as a Han Chinese consolation envoy, it would be very easy.
Maybe, he would kill him at any opportunity, and I guarantee that no one would redress his grievances afterwards.
This is the difficulty of being a Han minister under the rule of Meng Yuan.
You have to work hard, otherwise it will be difficult to get ahead and fall into the eyes of those in power.
And you can't work too hard, otherwise you might end up being a thorn in the side of someone because you helped someone they shouldn't, and they will have to deal with it sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Cheng Mingzhong also felt a little sad.
He looked up at Jiangwan City shrouded in gunpowder smoke and said in a low voice, "In that case, sir, why do you have to attack so hastily?
What if the brothers use too much force and accidentally destroy the city?"
"If this is really the case, Dong will get what he asked for."
Dong Tuanxiao immediately cheered up, shook his head and laughed, "Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng, you are really a gentleman.
If the firearms workshop and ice-green craftsmen in Jiangwan City are all corrupted, In Dong's hands, Dong still has no need to be afraid of others The situation is so dilapidated that the imperial court does not dare to provoke Fang Guzi, so it has to give him a high official position.
By then, you and I will have money and cannons, which one will become the prime minister.
Position, dare I not treat you and my brother as my treasure?"
"Hehe, hehe, hehehe," Cheng Mingzhong grinned along with the other party, his eyes shining brightly as he once again glanced towards Jiangwan City, which was shrouded in smoke in the distance.
The newly sent Mao Gourd soldiers had already launched a strong attack, and were knocked down in a pool of blood row after row by the lead bullets fired from the city.
The newly transferred ballistae also joined hands with the artillery on the top of the city.
You came and went, and the fierce battle was in full swing.
Up and down the city, many people died with regrets in their hearts every moment.
And their flesh and blood and lives are destined to become the steps for the superiors.
"Hoo ho ho ho" A gust of fishy-smelling river wind blew, making Cheng Mingzhong tremble.
The direction of the wind has changed unconsciously.
In the sky, large swaths of dark clouds are gathering.
Soon, an autumn rain will come, washing away the blood on the earth and the smoke in the sky.
The autumn wind and autumn rain are so sad
