The next day, Liu Dahan of the Taihu Volunteers brought a batch of grain to Jiading.
Before meeting Wu Changqing, he learned from other soldiers that Wu Changqing, the rebel army, had killed a 2,000-strong Qing army the day before yesterday.
At first, Liu Dahan didn't believe the news at all. But no matter who you asked, those people said so, and even some people confirmed it one after another, so he had to believe it.
Defending the city and killing five hundred enemies at a time, and attacking one thousand at night, this record is really dazzling.
Liu Dahan couldn't wait to see Wu Changqing, the hero of the Jiading army and civilians. He waited in the hall for a quarter of an hour, and then saw a young boy who was obviously still tender and delicate.
And he also knew that this person was Wu Changqing, the hero of the other population.
"Taihu Liu Dahan, I have seen Master Wu."
Liu Dahan didn't dare to underestimate the opponent because of Wu Changqing's age. This is a general who has experienced several fierce battles.
"Liu Zhuangshi, please sit down. This time the Taihu Volunteers sent food for hundreds of miles, which really touched me. Our army is worrying about food now."
Wu Changqing didn't expect such an unexpected joy, and the rebels in Taihu actually sent him food all the way.
"My lord said, everyone is the rebels, all brothers. Brothers are in trouble, how can we stand by. This little thing we did is nothing compared to the great achievements of Mr. Wu. I heard that Mr. Wu was wiped out. The Qing army has more than 2,000 people. Such a big victory is really rare."
Hearing Liu Dahan praised his achievements, Wu Changqing felt very comfortable.
"General Wu Yi has done a lot to contain the navy of the Qing court on Taihu Lake. Our department is planning to attack Suzhou recently. If General Wu's assistance is then given, the chances of winning will be a little bit better."
For Wu Changqing, he now needs to unite all the forces that can be united.
Although the number of Wu Yi's rebels was only a few hundred, they were all veterans who had fought and used them well, and they were also a force that should not be underestimated.
"It's great to attack Suzhou. My lord has always wanted to attack Suzhou, but unfortunately I dare not act rashly because of my limited strength. I don't know how many soldiers and horses Mr. Wu has now?"
Liu Dahan asked.
"I currently only have 700 people under my team, but I have already ordered an army expansion, which can be expanded to 2,000 within a few days."
Wu Changqing said.
Only two thousand, how do you attack Suzhou?
Liu Dahan had a question in his heart, siege and defense are completely different, there is no more than two or three times the strength of the force, siege is a joke.
The city wall of Suzhou is much taller than that of Jiading. Even if it is a veteran, there are not seven or eight thousand people who dare not attack.
But Wu Changqing has only two thousand people, and they are all recruits temporarily recruited. How can this be won? Or in other words, where did he have the courage to attack the city.
Liu Dahan couldn't figure it out, and bluntly said: "Master Wu, will the two thousand people be too few? Wu Shengzhao who is stationed in Suzhou has more than three thousand soldiers and horses."
"It's a bit less, but as long as we can draw Wu Shengzhao out, we still have a chance of winning."
Wu Changqing hoped that Wu Yi could launch an offensive against Wujiang County and lure Wu Shengzhao out of the city to rescue. And he leads people to ambush halfway, thus annihilating the other's vitality in one fell swoop.
He didn't think about going to attack Suzhou, so the loss would be very big.
"This matter is very serious, and I still need to ask my sir."
Liu Dahan didn't dare to agree, after all, it was a matter of life and death for hundreds of them.
"Of course, I still need time to train soldiers. I will wait for the good news from General Wu. Of course, if General Wu doesn't want to take this risk, then we will have to win Suzhou on our own."
Whether Wu Yi agreed to cooperate or not, Wu Changqing needed to win Suzhou.
Suzhou has a large population and can recruit many soldiers. He now needs to expand his army as soon as possible to face the threat of Li Chengdong.
He doesn't know when Li Chengdong will lead the main force to come, but there is no doubt that he will come, it's just a matter of time.
The news of Zhang Yuqin and Xue Wu's defeat did not reach Li Chengdong in Jiaxing until September 15. A small number of the defeated soldiers fled all the way to Jiaxing.
It was not until the 17th that Li Chengdong received accurate information and learned that both Zhang Yuqin and Xue Wu had died in battle, and his troops had been wiped out.
After learning the news, Li Chengdong kicked over the desk with a single kick.
"Trash, trash, what use do I want them to do? In a mere Jiading city, two thousand men and horses can’t be taken down. They were wiped out by the other party. My face, Li Chengdong, was completely lost by these two trash. ."
The following generals bowed their heads when they saw this, and did not even dare to breathe. This is the first time they have seen Li Chengdong have such a big fire, for fear that they will be touched by accident.
"All talk about what to do next."
After getting angry, Li Chengdong asked his subordinates to discuss matters.
His current forces have been concentrated in Hangzhou, and he is preparing to take down Hangzhou, an important city. As long as they win Hangzhou, they can threaten Shaoxing's Lu regime at any time.
Winning Hangzhou is a great achievement for Li Chengdong, and he does not want to miss this opportunity.
But now the rear is unstable, which makes him more worried.
"My lord, my subordinates think that it will be a big deal to take down Hangzhou. Some young people in the rear can't make a big wave if they are allowed to jump for a few days. We can quickly take down Hangzhou, and then transfer our troops back to encircle and suppress."
Said Dong Tianbao, Li Chengdong's general.
However, his words made Li Chengdong scold him an idiot in his heart.
The people who can wipe out Zhang Yuqin and Xue Wu are really just a group of Xiaoxiao? Although there are reasons for the night attack, it is undeniable that this rebel army in Jiading has a very strong combat effectiveness, at least more difficult than the rebellious rebel army in the past few times.
Li Chengdong also paid attention to the rapid-fire blasts repeatedly mentioned in the Xue Wu Zhanbao. It's just that he didn't see it with his own eyes, and he couldn't imagine how fast the so-called rapid fire was.
"I think adults can write a letter to Wu Shengzhao in Suzhou and General Liu Liangzuo in Changzhou to send troops to suppress it. And we will continue to attack Hangzhou."
Another guerrilla general said that his idea was a bit better than Dong Tianbao's, at least he didn't say that the rebels who let Jiading were left alone.
Others also agreed to take Hangzhou first. The reason is very simple. They have already arrived in Hangzhou all the way. If they withdraw their troops at this time, it will be a big blow to morale.
Of course, underestimating the rebels in Jiading is also a very important reason.
Even if Zhang Yuqin and Xue Wu failed miserably, they thought it was because of Zhang Yuqin's incompetence and Wu Changqing's night attack.
"If the order is passed on, we will step up preparations for the war, and we will capture Hangzhou immediately."
Li Chengdong finally accepted the opinions of his subordinates and chose to write to Wu Shengzhao and Liu Liangzuo.
And he himself continued to attack Hangzhou as planned.
However, at this moment, he has secretly vowed in his heart that he must cut Wu Changqing and the people of Jiading.
If it wasn't for them to make trouble, he could attack Hangzhou with confidence. If the war goes well, he can also take the opportunity to attack Shaoxing and make great achievements for the Qing court.
This is true in history. Li Chengdong was favored by the Qing court for his contribution to winning Hangzhou. Later, together with Tong Yangjia, he became the main force in the leveling of Fujian and Guangdong.
