You have your Zhang Liang plan, I have my ladder passing through the wall.

For Zhang Kewang, the fortress group near Chengdu was originally used to delay time.

He could accept that these fortresses were captured, as long as Zhang Dingguo returned to the aid army arrived.

Both sides have their own wishful thinking, and they are unambiguous in their implementation.

The Qing army strives to defeat quickly, while the Western army can delay.

The Qing army did not want to consume too much strength when attacking these affiliated fortresses, and only sent green camp soldiers to fight.

Under such circumstances, the Qing army could not make the final decision.

Hong Chengchou was a little angry and embarrassed. These green camp soldiers were too useless. Such a simple task could not be completed well. What's the use for them?

But no matter how much you scold, you still have to continue fighting this battle.

In desperation, Hong Chengchou had to send elite troops from the Eight Banners of Han to replace the Green Camp troops to attack the fortress.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners of Han did not disappoint Hong Chengchou. They took the initiative as soon as they went on the battle and took the lead. They took not long to win all the fortress groups.

At this point, Hong Chengchou could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Pulling off these fortresses near Chengdu means that the Qing army has no worries and can besieged Chengdu with confidence.

After communicating with Boluo, Hong Chengchou decided to dispatch some wounded soldiers to these fortresses to prevent the Western Army from occupying them again.

The next task is very simple, and it is to win Chengdu in one go.

How to fight is a problem.

A strong attack is not easy to use. Chengdu is a strong city, and the city gathers heavy troops of the Western Army.

Zhang Kewang was prepared for a long time, and a strong attack at this time would be a waste of people.

It is a good way to smash the city with a coffin, but Hong Chengchou still feels unsure.

The city walls in Chengdu are so thick that such a thick city wall may not be able to explode.

After thinking about it, Hong Chengchou still felt that it was safest to use it.

The so-called use period was often used when Huang Taiji was in charge of the administration, which gave Ming army a headache.

When Dorgon was regent, this tactic was well preserved.

The Qing army sent people into the city in advance to create chaos and opened the city gate. The Qing army suddenly rushed into one attack at the agreed time.

The city defenders often lost control of the city because they were not prepared for a while, and what awaited them would be a slaughter without suspense.

After Hong Chengchou reported his thoughts to Boluo, the Qing Dynasty Beile immediately smiled happily.

Although he did not have much experience in commanding troops, he also knew that defeating others without fighting was the best result.

If the Qing army could take Chengdu without losing any force, and the news would be sent back to Beijing, would the Regent have definitely looked up to him?

Of course, Boluo had no intention of inquiries about the specific details and was planning to entrust Hong Chengchou with full authority to arrange the arrangements.

The old fox Hong Chengchou had a lot of bad water in his belly, so he would definitely come up with a very perfect plan.

After seeing Boluo off, Hong Chengchou immediately called Tong Yang and discussed the specific details.

Tong Yang and this guy had a lot of bad water in their stomachs. I heard that Hong Chengchou wanted to use a room to break the city, and he was immediately happy.

"Governor Hong, it's good to use this method. Isn't Zhang Kewang very capable? This time he told him to understand what ginger is or how spicy it is."

Hong Chengchou narrowed his eyes and said, "The most important thing in the use room is to put people in and transport them. Now Chengdu City is probably martial law, so if you want to get in, you have to think of a solution. Does Governor Tong have any tricks?"

"Well, hehe"

Tong Yanghe rubbed his hands and said, "If ordinary people are of course not able to get in at this time, but there is an exception to this kind of person."

"oh?"

Hong Chengchou suddenly became interested and asked, "Which kind of person is it?"

"Mencius!"

Tong Yanghe said firmly: "Monks are the exception. I think that Zhang Kewang won't stop monks from entering the city? What threat can their unarmed pose to Chengdu?"

"kindness."

This answer is unexpected and reasonable.

Hong Chengchou thought about it carefully and thought it was indeed a good way.

"But where do you find so many monks?"

"Haha, Governor Hong was joking, no, this monk wants as much as he wants."

Tong Yanghe deliberately kept it a secret.

"How do you say this?"

Hong Chengchou asked.

"How many monks do you want in the army? Of course, you must know Chinese. The soldiers of the Green Camp are unreliable, and the soldiers of the Han army flag are the most suitable."

Tong Yanghe gently stroked his beard and gave the answer.

That's right!

Tong Yanghe woke up the dreamer with one word, and Hong Chengchou immediately realized.

Yes, why didn't he expect it?

According to the Manchu rules, all military and civilians under their rule must shave their heads, and their entire heads were shaved bare, except for the small squat of money rat tail on the back of their heads, there was no hair left at the end.

In this case, it is impossible to get soldiers to grow hair in a short time, but it is easier to get them to twist their braids and shave their heads.

Yes, Qing soldiers had natural advantages when pretending to be monks, and they really needed as much as they wanted.

Tong Yanghe does have a different trick!

Hong Chengchou nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, this is a good way. However, this governor is still a little worried. Most of the soldiers on the Han army flag are from Liaodong and have a strong accent. Will it arouse the alertness of the Western thieves?"

Although the Han army flag and the Green Camp soldiers are all Han people in nature, if you look closely, you can still distinguish many differences.

Most of the soldiers on the Han army flag were from Liaodong and followed the Manchus very early, so they were classified as bannermen.

Apart from being able to speak Chinese, this kind of person has no difference from Manchus. His living customs and eating habits are almost exactly the same.

The most serious thing is the accent issue.

Even if you do it intentionally, the local accent cannot be changed in a short period of time.

It would be fine if the Han army flag soldiers did not open their mouths, but wouldn’t the thick Liaodong accent be revealed immediately?

Can't we explain that they are monks from Liaodong and come to Chengdu to seek Buddha from thousands of miles away?

But Tong Yanghe didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

He paused for a moment and said, "Governor Hong, don't worry. Some of the flag soldiers in the lower office do not have a Liaodong accent?"

"Oh? Why is this?"

"It's a long story. If you have time, the officials will explain it to the Governor slowly. But now we'll focus on the war first."

Tong Yanghe didn't seem to want to explain this question in detail, so Hong Chengchou naturally couldn't continue to ask questions, so he made a haha ​​and jumped over.

"It's reasonable, it's reasonable. Then I will leave this matter to Governor Tong. You can let go and I will never interfere."

Hong Chengchou stroked his beard and said quietly: "If this plan can help our army seize Chengdu, our governor will personally submit a letter to Governor Tong to ask for merit."

"I would like to thank the Governor for this."

Tong Yanghe said with a smile
Chapter completed!
