Wu Zheng was wondering if Dorgon still had a backpack, but he couldn't think of where Dorgon's backpack would be.

But there must be!

Because Huai'an and Yancheng are used as cutting boards to block the Northern Expedition Army's advance north, and the enemy cavalry of Fengyang Prefecture serve as a block to cut off the Northern Expedition Army's retreat route. So who will take the lead?

Once the two guards of Taizhou and Wusong meet, their troops will reach more than 40,000. Although the supply has been cut off, they can occupy Huai'an City and defend for seven or eight days. There should be no problem. Seven or eight days is enough for the First Army of the Northern Expedition to transport heavy firearms to the ashore with the cooperation of the navy. In this way, not only can the siege of Huai'an be lifted, but also can encircle the enemy cavalry that cut off the retreat route.

Obviously, Dorgon must be preparing to attack Taizhou and Wusongwei.

Unfortunately, Wu Zheng felt his mind hurt, but he still couldn't think of where Dorgon's knife was hidden.

This made Wu Zheng's state of mind become suspicious.

He thought that it was Zu Dabi who resisted stubbornly first, but could not hold on anymore, so he surrendered and surrendered, and then used his army to cooperate with the outside of the city.

There are many unreasonable aspects of this analysis, such as the suddenness of the city breaking this time, such as the suddenness of Jiang Quanyi's successful blocking of Zu Dabi, etc., but Wu Zheng was still stuck in the slightest way because he could not find Dorgon's back.

Seeing Wu Zheng remained silent for a long time, Jiang Quanyi hurriedly said, "Prince, the longer this matter is delayed, the more the surrendered army will be, which is even more unfavorable to stabilize the morale of the army..."

Wu Zheng suddenly spoke, "Do you know Huang Gai? A veteran like Zu Dabi, who surrenders easily. Don't you find it strange? Did he be beaten and afraid of surrendering, or is he loyal to the country and the nation? On the other hand, he resisted so tenaciously at the top of Nancheng City. Do you really think that if he was captured by you, he could force more than 6,000 soldiers of war easily surrender?"

Three consecutive questions changed Jiang Quanyi's face. After careful consideration, this matter is indeed frightening.

If Zu Dabi was a fence-bearer, that would be fine. Those who know the times are heroes. It is reasonable to surrender in order to save their lives.

But Zu Dabi was obviously not a fence-bearer, and at the same time, he was captured by himself. Afterwards, he felt a mysterious feeling. A master general led several cavalry to greet him, which was very illogical.

Who is it? It is worth Zu Dabi who ignores the rules of the army and meets it personally, and then is easily captured by himself?

These doubts became clearer and clearer under Wu Zheng’s three consecutive questions.

Jiang Quanyi said in shock: "What the prince means is... Zu Dabi was deliberately captured and deliberately surrendered?"

Wu Zheng sighed and said, "This war seems to be initiated by this king, but in fact, every step is the enemy's calculations. Until now, I still have no idea what the whole leopard is... It is related to the life and death of tens of thousands of soldiers, and the great cause of the Northern Expedition. As the commander, every step he takes has to be very careful."

Jiang Quanyi bowed and said, "It's the last general who is reckless... does not know etiquette, so please punish the prince."

"What are you punishing?" Wu Zheng glanced at Jiang Quanyi, "I still remember the crime of disobedience. This confrontation is a small matter... That's right, you won't have to worry about too many lice."

Jiang Quanyi blushed and said, "I realized that I was wrong."

After admitting his mistake, Jiang Quanyi raised his head, "Since this guy is a fraud, don't blame me for being ungrateful. I will kill him!"

Wu Zheng said angrily: "Why, don't you worry about the Taizhou Guards being killed in vain? They are more than 6,000 veterans in a hundred battles, not more than 6,000 pigs that you can slaughter... Besides, there is no evidence for this matter. If you kill the wrong one, how can you continue to surrender to the Han people in the Qing Dynasty in the future?"

Jiang Quanyi was stunned, "Then...what should I do?"

"What to do? Sweet! I don't know you yet. Taizhou Wei suffered huge casualties this time. You have long been envious of these more than 6,000 people. Of course, what you are even more envious of is Zu Dabi. You are so proud of being able to hold such a battlefield general under your command. Don't you think about it. Can you be able to hold such a person?" Wu Zheng replied to him, "I originally thought that he would surrender and the army would be disbanded on the spot. If he wants to be an official, he would go to the rear to serve as a free agent... But after saying a few words before, he would rather die than stay, which made me feel uneasy."

Jiang Quanyi's face was flushed with a scolding. He thought for a while and said, "Why do you respond first and then find an opportunity to set up a Hongmen Banquet, and without knowing it... chop off his head?"

Wu Zheng rolled his eyes and said, "I didn't expect that you are actually smaller than Lao Ma!"

Jiang Quanyi became embarrassed and said twice: "I am targeting the evil people..."

It is indeed inappropriate to drag on it. Wu Zheng finally made a decision, "Back!"

"Then how do you answer Zu Dabi?"

"Promise him."

"This...isn't this right?"

"How can I get a tiger's son if I don't enter the tiger's den?" Wu Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "I am still thinking about asking about Dorgon's arrangement from him."

....

Wu Zheng agreed to Zu Dabi's plea.

The more than 6,000 people were formed into an army alone, and Zu Dabi was commanded by him. A separate organization was set up under the Taizhou Guard.

In order not to stimulate the Taizhou Guards in the city, Wu Zheng ordered Zu Dabi's troops to camp on the spot and ordered Zu Dabi to send messengers to Qingjiangpu to recruit hundreds of cavalry without horses.

After settling down, Wu Zheng took Zu Dabi back to Huai'an City.

But when he first arrived at the city gate, he received an urgent report from the city that Taizhou Guards were arresting, pursuing, and massacring the original Qing army.

"Nothing!" Wu Zheng's face changed drastically, "Jiang Quanyi, you are the good soldiers you have brought! You go to pass on the king's order, and all actions will be stopped immediately. All personnel will be built. If there is any violation of the order, the military law will be dealt with!"

Jiang Quanyi was also shocked and quickly responded: "Yes, let's deal with this matter yourself!"

However, Wu Zheng left the city and returned to the city. This time, it took half a day to go. This half day was enough to catch a lot of people and kill a lot of people.

The key is, is it really useful to kill people?

Apart from adding countless hatred, you can't count on anything.

....

That night, Jiang Quanyi summarized the Taizhou Guard's pursuit of the "remnants" and reported it to Wu Zheng.

In the past half a day, Taizhou Guards captured more than 3,800 direct flag soldiers from the former Huai'an, Dahe Guards and Zu Dabi, and more than 570 people killed by Taizhou Guards on the spot for resistance.

After Jiang Quanyi reported the news, he looked at Wu Zheng's expression and hesitated: "Among those who were killed, more than 100 are the families of Huai'an and the two guards of Dahe... They were killed by the soldiers as rebels because they prevented our soldiers from arresting the soldiers of the original Huai'an and the two guards of Dahe."

"How many people were killed under Zu's command?" Zu Dabi asked suddenly.
