Chapter 44： plot

On the second day, Liu Liangzuo was drinking boring wine in the camp. The city of Suzhou was more difficult to eat than expected. He had no choice.

Suddenly, the soldiers came to report urgently, saying that the army's grain and grass had been burned in Wuxi.

The news almost didn't make Liu Liangzuo stunned on the spot, but fortunately, some of his soldiers were quick to help him with eyesight and hands, so that he didn't fall to the ground.

The news is really bad, it's just that the leaks of the house have been raining overnight.

This time they are fighting in the territory under their control, because the rear can supply at any time, so there is not much food and grass.

Now that the grain and grass in Wuxi are burned, the grain in his army is only enough to eat for five days.

Although there are still five days of food, this does not mean that they can stay here for five days. If Wuxi can't get the food to deliver within five days, or there are other accidents, then the army of more than 30,000 will be ruined.

For marching and fighting, there can only be more food, nothing less.

Liu Liangzuo must retreat as soon as possible, at least to Wuxi, to raise more grain and grass before returning.

However, Liu Liangzuo was unwilling to retreat in such a desperate way. He summoned his subordinates and demanded that siege equipment be made as soon as possible. He wanted to carry out the last general attack.

If we can get in, the problem of food and grass will be solved. If you can't get in, you can only retreat.

"Everyone, who wants to be a pioneer next time?"

After Liu Liangzuo asked, there was silence in the big tent.

It's completely different from the first time everyone rushed to be a pioneer to grab credit. Now those generals know that Suzhou is a tough one, and it's not easy to chew.

To act as a pioneer is to seek death. They can't bear the death of their subordinates, after all, they are all brought in by spending money and time.

"Dong Tianbao, as a pioneer in the future, whether your ministry can take the blame and make meritorious deeds depends on this time. If you take down Suzhou, I will forget the blame and reward you the last time you retreat privately, but if your ministry is still afraid of fighting this time, Then don't blame me for not being affectionate."

Seeing that no one took the initiative to take the task, Liu Liangzuo dispatched it. He still hates what happened last time, and this time he is looking for a chance to pit Dong Tianbao.

According to common sense, Dong Tianbao's department suffered the most, and they won't need to be the vanguard next time they attack the city. It is a pity that Liu Liangzuo has the highest position. He has the final say here. He has absolute command.

Liu Liangzuo spoke, and the other generals were relieved and sympathized with Dong Tianbao a little bit. In this attack on Suzhou, Dong Tianbao's troops are estimated to be exhausted.

If it is possible to capture Suzhou, it is okay to take advantage of the merits to grab some money and re-recruit troops.

But if you still can't attack, don't expect Liu Liangzuo to recruit soldiers. Without soldiers, Dong Tianbao's status will also drop sharply.

"Finally, I will obey."

Dong Tianbao can only take the order, otherwise one charge of disobeying the military order would be enough for Liu Liangzuo to chop his head.

At night, Dong Tianbao and a few abdomen sat down in the tent.

"Wuxi army rations were burned. General Liu wants us to be the vanguard in the future. What do you think?"

Dong Tianbao asked.

"He wants us to die."

A thousand households said that although they belonged to Liu Liangzuo, it did not mean that they were loyal to Liu Liangzuo.

The composition of Liu Liangzuo's troops is a bit like a Fanzhen in the Tang Dynasty. Fanzhen soldiers and low-level officers don't have any loyalty objects. They just want to survive and eat.

They will be loyal to whoever feeds them and pays them. Whoever wants them to die, they will oppose them.

Not only Liu Liangzuo's troops are like this, but Zuo Liangyu, Liu Zeqing, and Huang Degong's troops are all of this nature.

Therefore, once the Qing army gave a better treatment, they would surrender hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands of them in a film, with no fighting spirit at all. To put it bluntly, these soldiers had no concepts of Daming and Manchu in their hearts.

And some generals who were loyal to Daming had no way to deal with this kind of soldiers. Huang Degong could still rely on prestige to suppress the army, but when he died, his tens of thousands of men immediately surrendered to the Qing army.

Now that Liu Liangzuo's army's food is burned, the soldiers are about to run out of food. Liu Liangzuo wants them to die. They are definitely not happy.

"General, we can't agree. We will almost die if we serve as a striker again. If there are no soldiers, who else will take us seriously."

Another thousand households also followed, and his words were almost saying that he was going to mutiny.

"But what should we do if we don't obey the orders? The world is so big, but there is no place for us."

Dong Tianbao said depressed.

If you don't rebel, you must be a cannon fodder, and the rebels will not be able to defeat Liu Liangzuo. After all, Liu Liangzuo had 20,000 direct troops loyal to him, and other generals also temporarily surrendered to Liu Liangzuo's leadership.

"General, or we will drop the Ming army."

For them, there is no psychological barrier to surrender. As long as there are benefits, they will surrender without hesitation.

Only the Ming army in Suzhou City can save their lives right now, so they can only make this idea.

Hearing this, Dong Tianbao fell into silence and surrendered to the Ming army. He had actually considered this a long time ago.

However, he had long been desperate for the Ming court, otherwise he would not have followed Liu Liangzuo to surrender to the Qing.

Just half a year ago, the Hongguang court still had a million troops deployed on the Yangtze River. As a result, the Qing army had less than 200,000 troops to go south, and the millions of troops scrambled to surrender.

Where can this kind of court be saved? Have a future mixed with such a court?

"General, don’t think about it, think about what’s in front of you. If you don’t find the way right now, thousands of our soldiers will be killed in Suzhou City. Moreover, this Ming army in Suzhou City is extraordinary. I don’t think they may be there. Can't beat the Manchu Tatar. If we follow them to defeat the Tatar, then we can be regarded as a great achievement, and the Ming court will certainly not be stingy with awards."

A thousand households named Zhao Shijin analyzed that Wu Changqing's troops shocked him greatly and made him feel fear. As a result, he even felt that Liu Liangzuo would definitely be defeated by Wu Changqing.

As a clumsy army, they naturally go with whomever they are good at.

"Who wants to come in person to contact?"

Dong Tianbao asked.

Even if you want to surrender, it can't be a direct surrender. At least you have to negotiate with the Ming Army about the conditions and the treatment after surrender.

Reversing before the battle is risky, and they can't do it if there is no benefit.

The generals were silent when they heard the words, and they didn't want to take risks. After all, Wu Changqing looked like a ruthless person. The messenger Liu Liangzuo sent last time was shot dead without even letting in the city.

It is also quite dangerous to deal with such ruthless people.

"At the end I wish to go."

In the end, it was Zhao Shijin who spoke, and he was ready to take a gamble.
