Whenever the carriage drove through the potholes on the official road, Niu Jinxing, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help but admire.

"Oh my God, this spring carriage is so comfortable to sit in!"

Technology changes lives!

No one has a deeper understanding than Niu Venus, after all, not everyone has ever sat in a carriage, and as a former man, Niu Venus has certainly sat in a carriage, but the carriage is not comfortable to sit on, and those carriages can go more than ten miles, and people can be upside down. So it was necessary to lay a thick mattress, but even so, it was not comfortable, let alone staying in the carriage all day long.

Now, however, the spring carriage in the army has completely subverted his perception of the carriage.

"How about it, Xiucai, this carriage is comfortable to sit on, let me tell you, if it rests on the official road from Jinan to the royal tomb, this carriage will run a fast ......."

The little flag officer who spoke with a Shandong accent proudly showed off, it didn't matter whether he was in a carriage on the gravel official road, the important thing was that he was the beneficiary of the field and the mother-in-law at the beginning of the year.

However, Niu Jinxing complained in his heart - I am a lifter! It used to be a lifter!

Before he could defend himself, he listened to the flag officer again.

"Xiucai, wait a little longer, when this battle is over, maybe you will be promoted to become an official, and when we meet you, we will have to salute......"

God willing, there must be that day!

Thinking so in his heart, Niu Jinxing couldn't help but ask.

"Flag officer, did you say the prince, is he riding a horse or riding a car?"

By car, of course!

Compared with horseback riding, how comfortable it is to ride in a car, not to mention the shock absorption of Zhu Guoqiang's carriage is not an ordinary spring, and the shock absorption of a serious car, even together with the seat in the carriage with a length of 5 meters and a width of 2.5 meters, it is also an SUV seat, if he wants, he can lie flat there at any time.

Privilege has always been ubiquitous, and compared to the canvas canopy of the big head soldier's carriage, his canopy is better closed, and naturally it is a little warmer. Coupled with the heating of the charcoal stove through the iron cabinet, even if the snow is falling outside, although the carriage is not as warm as spring, it can prevent him from feeling the cold of the Xiaoice period.

"Lord Shizi, Abatai has crossed the river! Last night, the Huai River froze and was a foot thick, and Abatai took the opportunity to cross the river. ”

I see!

After sighing, Zhu Guoqiang asked rhetorically.

"What about Liu Liangzuo? Didn't he lead an army of 40,000 along the river to defend against the enemy? ”

Shi Kefa, that is, the current Shangshu of the Nanjing Military Department, has four major general officers under his command, and if you count the several general soldiers who rushed to help, the total strength is more than 200,000!

He actually used Liu Liangzuo to guard the Huai River, but he really ...... "know how to use soldiers".

"Lord Shizi, according to the news received, Liu Liangzuo only left a few officers and soldiers to guard along the river, and the Qing army bypassed more than ten miles, and directly broke his camp in the early morning......"

Listening to Liu Hongyuan's report, despite frowning, Zhu Guoqiang still sneered.

"Shi Butang uses good soldiers, there are people who are familiar with Jiannu who don't need it, but he uses a Liu Liangzuo who has only fought with Liukou to guard the Huai River, if Abatai doesn't know the Huai River, it's really unreasonable!"

The reason why he said this is because among the four general soldiers used by Shi Kefa, there is also Huang Degong who came down from Liaodong, there is such a general who has fought with the Qing army many times, but he uses Liu Liangzuo to guard the river, he Shi Kefa is really "able to use people", in fact, maybe in history Shi Kefa is a loyal minister, but when it comes to fighting, he is definitely a layman, and even if he uses people, he is also a layman, such a person, that is, a virtuous minister in the prosperous era, as for the troubled times...... It's useless to be a scholar!

In terms of his political wisdom alone, he is not even as good as Gong Zhixian in Taoyuan!

"Lord Shizi, what now? We still have a day's journey to Wuhe, and at the current pace, if we march like this, by the time we arrive in Zhongdu, Abatai will probably have been in Zhongdu for two or three days. ”

The report of his subordinates made Zhu Guoqiang sneer.

"I can't hold it!"

After dropping such a sentence, Zhu Guoqiang unfolded the map and said.

"In the first two years, Zhongdu let the Liukou scourge once, and the people outside the city suffered heavy casualties, that is, inside the city...... Say a thousand ways and ten thousand, it is a dead city, except for the name of the capital, there is nothing, if I were Abatai, I would definitely not hit the capital! Now Shi Kefa guards the central capital with heavy troops, in fact, in the final analysis, he is still afraid that Abatai will burn the ancestral tomb of the central capital and burn the Huangjue Temple like the Liukou in the previous two years, so whether it is Shi Kefa or the emperor, Jiangbei will take the central capital as the top priority, and now he Shi Kefa guards the central capital with an army of 100,000 troops, which seems to be stable, but in fact, it opens the door of Nanzhili to Abatai! ”

Zhu Guoqiang is also understandable for Shi Kefa to keep the central capital, after all, a few years ago, Zhang Xianzhong burned the Huangjue Temple, after burning the ancestral tomb, the governor and the general soldier who were beheaded were several, and now Chongzhen also ordered to strictly guard the central capital, in history, a year or two later, when the Liukou committed the Zhongdu again, Chongzhen was also strictly ordered to keep the Zhongdu, in fact, since they all let the Liukou burn a handful, even if Abatai burned it again, what does it matter?

Is it the living who are more important or the dead who are dead?

In the eyes of the ancients, the dead seem to be more important?

But what about the world?

"What do you mean? Will Shi Kefa abandon the central capital? ”

"He? Abandonment? Zhongdu can't hold it, because he won't give up, Zhongdu is dead, if Abatai bypasses Zhongdu and goes straight to the mouth of the river, what's the use of holding Zhongdu? ”

Shaking his head, Zhu Guoqiang said directly.

"If I were Abatai, I would definitely go all the way south from Wuhe, and then go straight to the mouth of the river, and if I had the chance, I would kill all the way to Jiangnan!"

"The prince of the world, all the mountains around Chuzhou, the villain thinks that even if he goes south, he will not go to Chuzhou......"

To Liu Hongyuan's reminder, Zhu Guoqiang only nodded slightly, and then said.

"There is no difference between keeping and not guarding the capital, don't go to Wuhe, go directly to Sizhou, cross the river from there, and then ......"

Staring at the cities in Jiangbei on the map, Zhu Guoqiang's brows furrowed, it is really difficult to guess the actions of the Qing army like this!

It seems that the intelligence work has been strengthened!

Whoever can see through the fog on the battlefield can often win the war, but what does it take to see through that fog? It's intelligence.

In the final analysis, there is still a lack of intelligence! I really don't know, how Chongzhen has survived in the past few years, doesn't he know that intelligence is important?

I was talking to myself like this, but the voice of the guard came from outside the car window.

"Lord Shizi, there is news from the sentry cavalry that sixty miles ahead, a large number of officers and troops have withdrawn from the south bank!"
