In the dark night, there was also a mixed rain to help, and Xu Changqing couldn't see the movement in the darkness ahead even with the help of a clairvoyant mirror.

But everything is relative.

In this kind of weather, the model army cannot use firearms, and the exile army is certainly not possible.

And even if the elite of the Wandering People's Army came from the closest point of the confrontation between the camps of the two sides, it would be four or five miles away.

In the middle of the night, I was drenched in this rain for four or five miles, and I had to step on the mud in the dark, and the physical exertion can be imagined!

Needless to say, the elite of the Wandering People's Army must have come in armor, and the rain poured into all kinds of armor and clothing, hehe, that kind of sourness is not enough for outsiders.

Xu Changqing and the Model Army have already prepared in advance to deal with it at this time, and it can be said that they are almost invincible!

At this time, Zuo Mengmei carried a tray with a few side dishes and a pot of wine, went and returned, and said a little shyly: "Master, let's have some supper." I was afraid that you were in a hurry, so I didn't prepare much, so I simply packed up a few side dishes. ”

Xu Changqing glanced at a salted fish fried egg, a plate of hot daytime mushroom chicken soup, and a stack of small pickles with a lot of fresh onions, and three steamed buns.

Although it is not very rich, this girl is obviously attentive.

Xu Changqing smiled, not polite, and sat next to Zuo Mengmei: "Mengmei, thank you for your hard work." ”

Zuo Mengmei's face was slightly red, "Master, being able to serve you is Mengmei's blessing." Otherwise......"

She bit her red lip and didn't continue.

Xu Changqing took a sip of wine, how could he not understand what Zuo Mengmei meant?

If it weren't for following Xu Changqing, Zuo Mengmei would still be used as a bargaining chip sooner or later to exchange for benefits for the Zuo family.

Life is actually like this, and it is difficult for the vast majority of people to have the opportunity to truly choose.

The people who can really have a choice are the big guys who can change the world.

The two chatted while eating, Xu Changqing also deliberately teased Zuo Mengmei to laugh, and soon, Zuo Mengmei pursed her lips and snickered from time to time, her pretty face was red, but she didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of being heard by the soldiers on duty not far away.

Looking at the elf-like girl in front of him, Xu Changqing's mood gradually eased, took a sip of wine, grabbed Zuo Mengmei's jade hand, and said solemnly: "Mengmei, you are you, and the Zuo family is the Zuo family." I don't want to confuse these two things! However, I will do my best to not make it difficult for you! ”

Zuo Mengmei was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xu Changqing for a long time, this is when she came back to her senses.

She didn't say much, just nodded emphatically, and said 'um', her beautiful eyes full of joy and relaxation.

Xu Changqing's words seemed to untie her biggest knot.

The two became closer and closer, and the distance between their hearts became closer and closer.

Zuo Mengmei actually knew for a long time that Xu Changqing had many differences from ordinary people, but at this time, she really mustered up the courage to start a deeper attempt, and she found that Xu Changqing was even more enlightened and excellent than she imagined!

She suddenly found that the decision she had made with all her might was not only not a new quagmire, but a new world completely opened up for her......

……

Just when Xu Changqing and Zuo Mengmei were chatting comfortably, the camp of the Wandering People's Army was in the camp of Li Yan and his wife.

The five hundred elite henchmen of the two have been ready for a long time.

Just as Xu Changqing expected, they were all in fine armor, with waist knives, with sharp long soldiers, and many of them were also wearing daggers, javelins, throwing axes and other weapons, almost armed to the teeth.

However, in the face of the rain, they did not have any good solutions, but only covered themselves with simple coats.

"Xiaohong, you, can't you not go? Just leave the matter to Otomo. ”

When the time of departure came, the red lady was ready to take this batch of elites over in person, Li Yan didn't know what was wrong, and he didn't want the red lady to go to the danger in person.

Looking at her husband, who was worried about herself, the red lady smiled: "Husband, don't worry." It's going to be fine. Liu Ye has been preparing for so long, and this battle will definitely take Xu Changqing. Otomo they go I don't worry. In case we don't get this thing on the line, we will be passive later. ”

Li Yan frowned, grabbed the red lady's jade hand hard, and still refused to let go.

Somehow, he always had a very ominous premonition tonight!

What kind of character is Xu Changqing, Li Yan has been confronting Xu Changqing for more than ten days at this time, and he already understands it very well.

This person is like a machine that hardly makes mistakes.

Even if Liu Zongmin's strategy at this time was indeed quite subtle, Li Yan still had no confidence in his heart.

But...... As the Red Lady said.

Their husband and wife are already marginal figures in the rebel army, and they have not been ranked in the previous waves of the rebel army's several victories, if they can't make meritorious achievements this time, they don't know how much trouble they will have in the future!

Reason told Li Yan that he must not let his wife put his life in danger at this time.

However, in the deepest part of his heart, the unspeakable greed made him can't help but let go!

Now that he has embarked on this road, how can he Li Yan be willing if he doesn't mix up his personal appearance? Isn't it in vain that you have read the books of the sages all these years?

Especially the rebel army has risen up at this time, almost like Dingding Central Plains, and now it is falling behind, that is a fool!

After struggling for a while, finally, desire. Hope still triumphed over reason.

He clenched the red lady's jade hand hard, put it in her ear and whispered: "Xiaohong, you must be careful!" Remember, don't be impulsive if you can't do it! We are still young, and there will be opportunities in the future! ”

"Hmm!"

Looking at Li Yan's concerned appearance, the red lady smiled sweetly and nodded vigorously, only to feel that meeting Li Yan in this life was a blessing that she had only cultivated in ten lifetimes.

Soon, the two hands parted, and the red lady put on her robe, and vigorously led her henchmen into the darkness in the rain.

As the Red Lady Department left, in the surrounding darkness, there were more and more homeless soldiers entering the darkness in the rain.

In this battle, the exile army has really invested a lot of money!

Not only did Liu Zongmin produce 500 of the most elite veteran battalion soldiers, Li Zicheng's personal guards also produced 500 people, and Liu Fangliang also produced 500, Tian Jianxiu 500, Gao Yigong 200, and Li Guo also produced 15.

Almost all of the core generals of the Wandering People's Army are out of the ranks!

Coupled with the 500 people of Li Yan and his wife, and the nearly 1,000 people in front of the model barracks, the total number has exceeded 4,000 people, all of whom are veterans of a hundred battles that they have accumulated with great difficulty over the years.

This is also Liu Zongmin's cleverness.

At this time, although he really wanted to eat Xu Changqing alone, he understood that it was still a little bit of a problem, and he was not completely sure, so he simply took out this benefit and shared it with everyone, and by the way, he could earn personal favors.

"Keep up, keep up, keep up! Watch your step, don't fall into the ditch! ”

In a short time, the elites of all units of the Wandering People's Army had already set off, and all the troops had entered the strategic range.

The five hundred personal guards under Li Zicheng's command were led by Wang Si, the leader of his personal soldiers.

Wang Si is in his early Chinese New Year's Eve, not tall, but with broad shoulders and a thick back, he is as fierce as a small hammer.

He is also a Mizhi person, a fellow villager in Li Zicheng's hometown, and he has had a friendship with Li Zicheng since he was a child, and he almost played with his bare ass to adulthood.

Therefore, it has also won the trust of Li Zicheng!

At this time, Wang Si was also extremely excited to get this opportunity to attack the famous Zhongyi Bo Xu Changqing!

You have to seize this opportunity to make a name for yourself!

If Xu Changqing can be caught in this battle, then his life as the fourth king will definitely enter a new world!

This also made Wang Sige work hard, constantly beckoning the soldiers around him to move forward, and soon, he gradually came to the front and entered the predetermined area.

……

At this time, Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing and other cores of the Liumin Army did not sleep.

They were on the western front, near Zhuxian Town, huddled in a canopy on a small earthen bag, watching the big picture from the flanks.

There was no fire around the canopy, and there was basically nothing to see in the dark and rainy night ahead, but the crowd was still watching and waiting.

In fact, it is still very difficult to travel at night against the homeless people's army, even if it is the elite of their old battalion.

At the end of the day, they are still too poor and not nutritionally balanced.

But this is not difficult for the cunning Liu Zongmin.

Liu Zongmin's strategy is similar to Xu Changqing's model army, that is, the figure in front of him!

Night blindness is so bad that it has been removed from the ranks.

However, they can march in the dark and rainy night, lurk, and endure, but they still have to wait until dawn to really do it.

They don't yet have the strength to fight at night in such a complex way!

The rain crackled on the ground, splashing water one after another.

Speaking of which, it has not rained so heavy and long in Henan for a long time, and if this rain had come a few years earlier, the drought in Henan would not have been so serious, resulting in the inability to clean up.

God is also a master who likes to joke.

In the dark, no one spoke, everyone waited as hard as they could.

But if someone looks closely, they can see that Li Zicheng is constantly adjusting the rhythm of his breathing at this time, and the amplitude of his chest is a little larger.

As long as Xu Changqing is taken, this vast hinterland of the Central Plains will be in his Li Zicheng's hands!

What is this concept?

Since ancient times, the Chinese people have a famous saying: "Those who win the Central Plains win the world!" ”

This also means that their righteous army will soon seize the banner of victory, and it will no longer be a rogue in the mouth of the official army and the court, but a real orthodoxy!

How could he not be nervous?

Liu Zongmin and Song Xiance are all about the same, and the eldest brother doesn't laugh at the second brother.

A golden avenue leading to the sky has been opened to them at this time, and the stairs have been lowered!

……

The model army mass grave is on a high platform.

Although Xu Changqing had been chatting with Zuo Mengmei, he had never stopped monitoring the movements in the darkness around the camp for a moment.

Unfortunately, this effect is not good.

The rain was so heavy that there was a 'booming' sound everywhere, and almost everywhere you could see it, and you could hardly see or hear anything.

But Xu Changqing was not in a hurry, like a patient old hunter, always waiting quietly.

Zuo Mengmei was already sleepy at this time, leaning on Xu Changqing's arms and falling asleep, with a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth.

Tonight's chat made the two understand each other much more deeply, and began to truly accept each other, leaning on Xu Changqing's solid arms at this time, she couldn't stop wanting to sleep.

Originally, she wanted to hold on and accompany Xu Changqing, but Xu Changqing coaxed a child and patted her fragrant shoulder very rhythmically, she soon couldn't bear it anymore and began to obey her instincts.

Seeing that she was asleep, Xu Changqing originally wanted to carry her back to the tent, but it was already too late at this time, Xu Changqing definitely couldn't leave easily, and this girl had been arguing that she would accompany Xu Changqing to the end, Xu Changqing thought for a while, directly put her on the tiger skin chair next to her, and helped her cover her with a woolen blanket, quietly guarding her by her side.

In this peaceful tranquility, time passed quickly, and soon, the rain gradually became lighter, and the sky finally began to glow with a hint of fish belly white.
