Nanming Engineer

Chapter 6 Wang Huan's plan

Wang Huan did not wait for the two of them to speak, and continued: "If you think about it carefully, this is also a reasonable thing. Generals are the most loyal people. They are famous for their benevolence when leading troops. They love their soldiers like sons. At present, there are still 500 generals in Liu Liangzuo's army. Man, I wonder how the general wants to bring these 500 people back to Sichuan?"

Li Tingyu woke up from the surprise. Listening to Wang Huan's questions and answers, he suddenly understood how the little monk knew that he was going to sneak away with his troops. Seeing Wang Huan's question, he subconsciously replied: "What else can I do? Wait for the army After the massacre of the city in ten days is over, the various armies will be allocated, and when the time comes, take advantage of the chaos and take the troops away."

Wang Huan shook his head: "It's a long way from here to Sichuan, separated by Henan and Huguang. Moreover, Henan is in the hands of Li Zicheng, and half of the prefectures and counties in Huguang have been occupied by Qing soldiers. A parade of 500 people is organized. General, you say yes no?"

When Li Tingyu heard this, his face paled and he was thoughtful. Taking advantage of this time, Wang Huan was not polite, grabbed the teapot on the table and filled the cup, drank it in one gulp, and then said: "Besides, the Qing army is not polite to the newly attached I have never trusted soldiers to surrender, and they have to go to the battlefield to hand in their names. According to my opinion, when the tenth day comes, the Qing government will either recall Liu Liangzuo to Beijing, break up his subordinates into other ministries, or order Liu Liangzuo directly Lead troops to attack Nanjing. No matter what the situation is, the general will be surrounded by heavy barracks, let alone 500 people, even if he takes [-] mice, he will be discovered immediately, and the general will be decapitated. The plan fell through."

When Li Tingyu heard this, drops of cold sweat already broke out on his forehead, he lowered his head and pursed his lips in thought, while Li Yan was a little more irritable, couldn't hold back, and said to Li Tingyu: "My lord, what this little monk said seems to have some truth, we... "

Li Tingyu waved his hand, raised his head and said to Wang Huan in a deep voice: "Okay, Wang Huan, what you said is reasonable, since you want to get these and say you want to save us, you must have a plan to help us escape!"

Before he knew it, his address to Wang Huan had been changed from "little monk" to "by his first name."

Wang Huan said with a smile: "It's natural, General, but this plan will be overwhelmed. If something goes wrong, the head will be killed, so you must strictly follow my arrangement. I wonder if the general is willing?"

Li Tingyu and Li Yan looked at each other, stared at Wang Huan for a while, and even looked carefully at Wang Huan's bald head. After confirming that he was not an undercover agent sent by the Qing soldiers, he frowned and said, "Okay! As long as your The plan is feasible, so what's the difficulty in listening to you?"

A huge boulder in Wang Huan's heart finally fell to the ground, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath, and shouted wildly in his heart: You're done!

But the business was not finished yet, so Wang Huan suppressed the urge to laugh wildly, leaned close to Li Tingyu's ear, and whispered for a long time, Li Tingyu couldn't help nodding, and his brows gradually relaxed.

After a cup of tea, Wang Huan slipped out of the monk's room, looked around, and then slipped back along the way.

Li Yan in the room watched Wang Huan leave through the crack in the door warily. After listening carefully for a while, he confirmed that there was nothing unusual and closed the door.

In the room, Li Tingyu sat cross-legged on the bunk, staring at the oil lamp on the table in a daze, Li Yangong stood beside him, and said in a low voice, "General, is this Wang Huan really worthy of our trust?"

Li Tingyu glanced at him and asked tiredly: "If you don't believe him, do you have any better ideas?"

Li Yan choked up, rubbed his hands together and said, "General, I'm fine with killing the enemy in battle, it's not my specialty to come up with ideas."

Li Tingyu smiled and said: "So, we are all big bosses, so don't pick on Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang. This Wang Huan, although the origin is unclear, but it should not be a spy sent by Qinggou to test us. Qinggou will not send a monk. The one who tested us, and the plan he said, if he didn't have a deep hatred for the Qing court, he would never have come up with it."

He slapped his palm the size of a cattail leaf fan on the table, gritted his teeth and said, "Huh, the art of war says: it is the best strategy to use deceitful means to create surprise soldiers. What Wang Huan said makes sense, so we will risk our lives and bet This round!"

Li Yan, with quick eyes and quick hands, stretched out his hand to catch an empty plate that shook off the table. He wondered in his heart: "This Wang Huan even asked for a few steamed buns on the table before leaving. How can he be so hungry and behave like this?" Good plan?"

Li Tingyu and Li Yan were whispering in the monk's room, but Wang Huan had already slipped back to the firewood room in the backyard. At this time, it was already late at night. Since the watchman Bangzi in Yangzhou city had fled to nowhere, he might have been massacred. Killing is not guaranteed, so no one knows the time, but none of the Qing soldiers in the main hall outside have returned, and they are still in the city hurrying to kill people and loot things to make a fortune.

Wang Huan returned to the firewood room in a swaggering manner. He didn't move the lock on the door, but still got in through the hole in the wall. When he looked up, he saw fifteen naked heads neatly lined up in front of him. .

Wang Huan was taken aback and said in surprise, "Why didn't you sleep?"

A monk said: "How could it be possible to sleep? Wang Huan, you have been away for so long, can you escape?"

Wang Huan rolled his eyes and said, "Escape? Go out now, there are Qing soldiers with knives and knives outside, if you want to die, go out, no one will stop you."

The monk's head shrank, as if a knife had really struck him, and he did not dare to speak. At this time, Xu Goudan and Chen Ergou squeezed in, scolded everyone, and told them to go to bed, and then pulled Wang Huan to the corner. , asked eagerly: "How's it going? How's it going? What did you go out to do?"

Wang Huan didn't answer, but lifted his short jacket, took out some steamed buns, handed them to Chen Ergou and said, "Give these steamed buns to each of them, since everyone hasn't eaten much these days, Don't starve."

The aroma of the steamed buns filled the air, and the young monks burst into joy. Each of them was very disciplined and divided some. Xu Goudan kept one, swallowed his saliva, and handed it to Wang Huan.

In fact, Wang Huan was outside the firewood room, and had already gnawed on two secretly. At this time, he waved his hand pretendingly and said: "I'm not hungry, you and Ergou eat."

He knew very well the personnel management methods of later generations. Why not use two steamed buns to win people's hearts?Xu Goudan was so moved that he almost cried. He and Chen Ergou ate half of it, but they didn't eat the remaining half. They had to watch Wang Huan eat it before they gave up.

After eating the steamed buns, the spirits of the three of them perked up a bit. Wang Huan was still picking his teeth, but Chen Ergou and Xu Goudan couldn't hold back anymore. They guarded him anxiously and kept asking questions.

"Don't worry, we will definitely be able to leave here in a few days, but don't tell other people the news, otherwise there will be too many people talking, and it will be bad if the news gets out!" Wang Huan grinned and spat. With a straight face, he said with a serious expression.

Chen Ergou and Xu Goudan glanced at the young monks who ate steamed buns and fell asleep on the floor, nodded together and said: "Okay, we know the seriousness, but you have been here for most of the night, what's going on? Let’s reveal something, we both have an idea in mind.”

Wang Huan chuckled, and said with a relaxed expression: "No, you will know when the time comes, you don't need to do anything, just perform in your true colors."

"Real performance?" Chen Ergou and Xu Goudan glanced at each other, unable to understand what Wang Huan meant, confused, and just about to ask again, they saw that Wang Huan had fallen to the ground, snoring and fell asleep.

The sky was still dark and the night sky was like ink, the two of them had no choice but to fall asleep, accompanied by the faint shouts and killings that could be heard outside the temple, and slowly fell asleep.

When the sky was about to light up, Tian Xiong came back from the outside with a group of soldiers full of excitement. They brought back with them the burdens carried by each of them and a few women with disheveled clothes and frightened faces.

"Take these girls to my room first, oh no, you don't need to take the old one, your mother, don't touch it, it's what I want to use first!" Tian Xiong was covered in blood, Throwing the long knife to a soldier casually, he shouted arrogantly. "Hurry up and get some water, I want to wash, your mother, I've splashed blood all over my body."

A soldier handed over the towel in a fawning manner, and said with a smile: "Master, I have gained a lot tonight, and it can be regarded as making up for the loss of not being able to go to the streets for the past few days."

Another soldier also came over with a cup of tea and said with a wide smile: "That's because Mr. Tian is wise, otherwise we, the brothers, would only watch others get rich if we stick to these monks."

Tian Xiong looked pale, sat on a chair with Erlang legs crossed, wiped his face comfortably and took a sip of water, and said, "Brothers follow me, and when you get rich in the future, I will tell you that Mr. Liu will follow soon." Prince Yu went south to Jiangning, Jiangning, that is Nanjing, it is a bit better than this Yangzhou, women's money is everywhere, I heard that the gates of rich families in the city are made of gold!"

"Oh!" A group of soldiers gathered around him, their eyes lit up when they heard it, as if the bear sitting there was not a field bear, but a golden human-shaped gold ingot.

A soldier asked impatiently: "Mr. Tian, ​​Mr. Liu has just surrendered. Prince Yu is really going to send us to Jiangning?"

Tian Xiong said: "Don't you understand this? This is called a petition! We have just come here, why should people believe us? If we don't kill a few Ming Dynasty officials, that won't work. But, if you are lucky, kill If you recruit one or two Ming Dynasty clan members or bachelor ministers, you may be able to raise the flag immediately, or even be promoted a few levels."

A soldier with a fleshy face said harshly: "Mr. Tian is right. Look at Pingxi Wang Wu Sangui, so he surrendered his troops and generals like us. Now he is a prince. If Mr. Liu also becomes a prince, Then we old brothers, why don't you follow suit!"

"Yes, yes, when Mr. Tian becomes the uncle, we will also recruit some general soldiers and general officers to be the generals!" A group of soldiers immediately followed, pushing the atmosphere in the hall to a climax.

The noisy sound in the main hall was naturally and clearly transmitted to the monk's room at the back. Li Tingyu frowned slightly, opened his eyes, blinked them, and closed them again to sleep.

Li Yan, who was sleeping on the ground by the door, opened his mouth indignantly, "Bah!", and tightened the long knife in his hand.
