Of course, at this time, the two of them didn't realize anything else, they just felt strange in their hearts.

But the minds of these two people soon moved elsewhere.

If something is abnormal, it must be a demon, and if there is a "demon", it can be caught.

Even if it's not a "demon", if it's a "demon", as long as there are more people who say it, it's a "demon".

Besides, the young Dolbo, with his mind, how can he tell whether he is a "demon" or not.

Gang Lin and Qi Chongge suddenly smiled knowingly, what a good opportunity!

"Someone!" Ganglin shouted, "Send someone to bring Miss Qingyin back to Ziyang to ......." ”

Qi Chongge hurriedly raised his hand and corrected: "No...... Yes please. ”

Gang Lin was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, and laughed: "Yes, yes...... Yes please...... Yes please, haha...... Ha ha....... ”

……。

Wu Zheng, who had just returned to Xinba from Hengyang, received a message from Chen Mingxia from Chang Lin Wei about negotiating with Jierharang.

After taking a look, Wu Zheng smiled and said to Li Hao beside him: "It's obvious that a dog wants to eat X, but he pretends to be a wolf and wants to eat meat...... I want to occupy a big position, but I look forward and backward...... It seems that he really wants to be the emperor. ”

Li Hao took Wu Zheng's information, looked at it carefully, and then responded: "People's desires are difficult to quench...... Dolgon used to hold him down, but now that Dolgon is dead, the emperor is still young, and no one can hold him down. ”

Speaking of this, Li Hao hesitated for a moment, "But I doubt that he will be tricky...... It stands to reason that he is afraid of the two armies of Fengyang Azig and Yanzhou Dolbo, which is really human, but now that the Qing court and court, no one can balance him, why does he still want us to help in Shuntianfu? This...... Some don't make sense! ”

Wu Zheng smiled, looked at the sky outside the window, and said leisurely: "Didn't you also say it, people's desires are difficult to quench...... Zilharang is very ambitious, both internal and external, borrowing the hand of this king, for him to eradicate the threat of Azig and Dolbo, and also wants to eat both inside and outside, and we should be wiped out in Shuntianfu. ”

Li Hao was stunned and asked, "If he really dares to do something to our people......?" ”

"He didn't dare!" Wu Zheng said firmly, "But once Neiying is exposed, is it still called Neiying?" ”

Li Hao suddenly, indeed, whether it is internal or meticulous, if it is exposed, it will be useless, people are on guard against him day and night, what else can he do?

"That'...... Wang Ye thinks, how to reply to Chen Mingxia? ”

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Don't worry...... Why are we in a hurry, and we are not alone in coveting the big position...... Hang him, wait for him to be anxious, and then it's not too late to deal with it. ”

Li Hao smiled and said, "The prince is wise...... However, if we do not get the cooperation of Zilharang, it will still be difficult to decide on the direction of our army's breakthrough in the north, ....... ”

Wu Zheng shook his hand and said, "Ji'er Harang should think the same way...... The enemy still has a thick capital! But it doesn't matter, the enemy will take the initiative to show us its weak points...... Azig, Dolbo, Qing court...... Which one doesn't have their own thoughts? ”

Li Hao nodded and said, "But in the direction of Xuyi, General Chi's pressure ...... It's too big, shouldn't we send troops to reinforcements...... Even if it's 3,000 people, it's fine. ”

Wu Zheng's face became serious, "Lone is indeed selfish, originally...... Lone wants to sacrifice Guangxinwei as a bait to attract the enemy's attention...... It's a pity that things are not as good as they should be, Chi Erhan and they caught up...... Since it has caught up, there is no way back. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng turned around and sighed, as if he was talking to himself, as if to convince himself, "The eastern and western fronts are so long, and the enemy's forces are relatively concentrated, if our army exposes the offensive target, the Qing court can deploy troops to deal with it calmly, then our army will fall into a long-term war of attrition...... Li Hao, we can't afford it! ”

Li Hao was silent, he realized that Wu Zheng was struggling in his heart.

Indeed, not to mention the direction of Henan, the Qing army Wu Sangui, Meng Qiaofang, Titakamu, Wang Guangtai and other total more than 200,000 troops are eyeing each other, let's just say that the Azig Department of Fengyang Prefecture, the Yanzhou Dolbo Department and the remnants of Ganyu Yuele, the total strength of these three places is enough to resist the strong attack of the Northern Expeditionary Army, not to mention that at this time, the line of occupation of the Northern Expeditionary Army has been extended, but the Qing court's Gyeonggi reinforcements are close at hand.

If the main direction of the Northern Expeditionary Army is exposed, then the two sides will be in a battle of strength, and regardless of how many people will die for the time being, it is difficult to say whether the General's Mansion can support it in the second half of the year.

Although the Jianxing Dynasty has been mastered by Wu Zheng, and the cabinet led by Huang Daozhou almost never shirks Wu Zheng's orders, the foundation of the Jianxing Dynasty is still not as good as the General's Mansion, and there is an army that is almost the same as the Northern Expeditionary Army to feed, how much help can it provide for Wu Zheng?

Even Wu Zheng did not dare to use Liao Zhongping's left battalion, because he was afraid that once the battle was lost, Ying Tianfu would face Azig's troops, and at that time, it would not be the Northern Expedition, but the need to transfer troops to defend the capital.

In fact, Wu Zheng did not have any troops to adjust at this time, it sounds like there are 200,000 troops in the Northern Expeditionary Army, but in addition to the garrisons in the key passes of the southern provinces, what can really move is the 50,000 people of the First Army and Wu Songwei and Taizhou Wei who are themselves at the front.

Taizhou Wei has been disabled, and Wu Songwei has also suffered a lot of casualties.

At this time, he could only stubbornly insist and force Azig to respond with the vicious battles in the direction of Xuyi and Sizhou.

Azig was indeed forced to move, and reinforced the direction of Sizhou with the main force, preparing to break through the Northern Expeditionary Army first to balance the Fengyang battle situation.

It's a pity that Dolbo suddenly "coaxed".

Dolbo's "instigation" is not a good thing for Wu Zheng, but a bad thing, because if these 100,000 enemy troops do not move, they will always be a thunder on the battlefield that will explode at any time.

Therefore, the first army on the north bank of the Yangtze River cannot move at the moment, and if it does not move, it will move!

……。

Under the city of Xuyi.

The corpses were piled up.

Among them, there are Manchu and Han Chinese.

There are enemies, and there are their own people.

There were blood stains everywhere on the walls, some of which had dried up and turned into dark red patches, and more conspicuously the bright red that had been newly added.

The small city of Xuyi has become a flesh mill.

Upstairs at the West Gate.

Chi Erhan, Shi Kun, and Huang Dahong, who were covered in blood, looked down at the Qing army that was receding like a tide.

The battle was fought until the commander and deputy commander went into battle in person, and the bloody level was self-evident.

This is the eleventh time to repel the Qing army's attack today.

But Chi Erhan's face was still wooden, and even there was a hint of ...... in his eyes Excited?

Huang Dahong looked a little worried, he looked around at the tired soldiers on the city wall, and said softly: "General Chi, I'm afraid we won't last long, and the enemy in the west is still increasing its troops, but our army ...... There are less than 3,000 people who can fight, and at most tomorrow, Xuyi City will be breached. ”
