Xu Changqing had expected the changes in the northwest, but he didn't expect that once it broke out, it would be so fierce and even more intense!

Ding Qirui's command gathered more than 50,000 people from all over the northwest, but overnight, most of them were eaten by the main force of the exile army, leaving only the remnants of him and the fierce tiger and Gao Jie to break through to the west.

This time, the imperial court is in the northwest hinterland, and there is only one army that can be fought by Sun Chuanting.

On the Xijing side, although the defense is still thorough, if the siege cannot be resolved as soon as possible in a short period of time, according to the level of material reserves at this time, it will collapse only in an instant......

The chaos of the last days of the Ming Dynasty has officially begun to erupt......

"Changqing, no, it's okay......"

After a while, Gu Hengbo saw Xu Changqing breathe a long sigh of relief, and his face slowed slightly, so he asked carefully.

"Hehe, it's okay, let's rest early today."

Xu Changqing smiled and hugged Gu Hengbo, but his eyes gradually darkened.

"Good. I went to clean up the bed. ”

Gu Hengbo didn't ask much interestedly, and got up obediently to clean up the bed.

Looking at Gu Hengbo's graceful shadow, Xu Changqing took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

Heaven is forgivable, but people are not allowed to live!

……

Xu Changqing was worried about the changes in the northwest, but at this time, he couldn't do anything at all.

In the continuous campaign, the soldiers of the Model Army also need to rest and adjust, and more importantly, the material reserves cannot keep up at all now.

If you rush to send troops, I am afraid that not only will you not be able to solve the problem, but you will have to put yourself on board.

Not to mention, Xu Changqing's wedding is imminent, even if the imperial court completely trusts Xu Changqing, allocates various strategic reserves, and responds to requests, it will be three months before Xu Changqing and the model army arrive on the battlefield.

In the next few days, Xu Changqing suppressed the news from the northwest and prevented it from spreading among the people, but secretly, he stepped up his investigation into the situation in the northwest, and at the same time ordered the political affairs bureau and the military to make corresponding response plans.

Soon, more and more news came from the northwest.

The reason why Ding Qirui and Fierce as a Tiger failed was that they suffered from the plan of the exiled people's army to 'lure the enemy deeper'.

The Wandering Army used a lot of materials and women as bait, pulled a pocket, dug up Luoshui, and Ding Qirui and others, who were so happy and had low eyes, had no defense at all, so that the main force of the Wandering Army was right, which directly led to the collapse of the overall situation!

At this time, the imperial court also made an accurate response, and requisitioned Sun Chuanting's department, including the Shanxi tribe and the Datong Wang Pu department, to rescue Xijing.

But the Liumin Army was very cautious about Xijing's offensive, encircling but not fighting, but only cutting off the channel between Xijing and the outside world, as if the plot was even bigger.

And a few days later, before Sun Chuanting's troops arrived at the Xijing battlefield, Zhang Xianzhong, a thief who had been cowering at the junction of Huguang and Sichuan, also made a big move and began to officially march into the hinterland of Sichuan.

For a time, the northwest and southwest hinterlands of the Ming Dynasty were all in continuous beacon fires, and the scene of the end times was getting worse and worse.

"My lord, the current situation is a little not optimistic. The thieves are clearly luring the enemy to go deeper, but the officials and soldiers are ...... Although Sun Butang is a veteran of a hundred battles and claims to have tens of thousands of troops, there are not many troops under his command who can really control them. And, internally, many are more or less involved with the thieves. Now, the only thing that can be counted on can only be the main force of Dingbeibo's Datong Army......"

In the official hall, Li Yan reported to Xu Changqing in detail the core that he had summarized over the past few days.

It's just that he can't say this kind of thing too bluntly, so he can only let Xu Changqing supplement and analyze while reading the information.

Xu Changqing understood what Li Yan meant.

He was not in favor of sending troops immediately, because the general trend of the world had already begun to develop into an unpredictable situation.

It's a big mess, but it's also a huge opportunity!

In this state, with strong soldiers in hand, only by sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai will we obtain greater and better benefits.

It's like in history, the Qing army is fully capable of conquering the Beijing division and then leveling the world, but why not attack and leave this piece of fat to the exiled army?

On the one hand, their strength was slightly lacking at that time, even if they took the Jingshi and bulldozed the northern country, the price they paid was very great.

Moreover, and most importantly, the name is not right!

Only when the situation in Daming becomes more and more chaotic can they reap the best benefits from it!

Xu Changqing has also felt the fluctuations of the Political Affairs Bureau in the past few days.

What he has been deliberately cultivating, and carefully cared for, has broken through the embryonic stage and has begun to thrive and develop......

If he had a choice, Xu Changqing really didn't want the Qing army to enter the customs, the world would be ruined, and countless Ming people would become slaves of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, like pigs and sheep.

But at this time, Da Ming is already rotten at the root, and if you don't pull out these abscesses, you can't change it at all!

The most important thing is that with Xu Changqing's foundation at this time, even if he fights for his life, it will be difficult to stop this general trend.

"What do you think about the military advisor?"

Xu Changqing's voice was a little hoarse indescribably.

It's definitely a tough time!

has the intention to kill the enemy, but he is powerless to return to the sky, and he can't stop this terrifying wheel of history......

Li Yan's spirits perked up, and he thought for a moment, and then he said carefully: "Lord, the thief's intention is already obvious, this is to encircle the point and send reinforcements." In the opinion of his subordinates......"

Li Yan paused for a moment, and looked at Xu Changqing's eyes sincerely and bravely: "The main force of our official army is probably not the opponent of the main force of the thieves...... In this state, the thieves are rising, and anyone who goes will be unlucky. Although our model army is a megatron at this time, there are still many things that have not been properly handled internally, and if it is rash, I am afraid that not only will it not have any good effect, but it will ...... Be sure that the lord thinks twice and puts the overall situation first! ”

"Plop!"

After speaking, Li Yan knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.

Xu Changqing let out a long breath, and he couldn't say the taste in his heart for a while.

At this time, although the situation has not yet become clear, but with the experience of serving in the Exile Army, Li Yan looks at the current situation much more thoroughly than others!

He was not optimistic about the imperial court, nor was he optimistic about the exiled army......

At this time, he was able to make such a statement, and he was definitely loyal to Xu Changqing with his net worth.

Xu Changqing's eyes suddenly became a little cloudy.

Although it shows that it is right to know how to choose, it is really necessary to make this decision, which still makes Xu Changqing feel very uncomfortable, and it is extremely difficult......

"Strategist, you go down first, I will think about this matter carefully and make a prudent decision!"

"Yes......"

Li Yan didn't say anything more, and respectfully withdrew from the official hall, but in his heart, he had already made up his mind, even if he fought for his life, he would never let Xu Changqing make the wrong choice.

Watching Li Yan leave, Xu Changqing fell into a deep silence.

At this time, Xu Changqing has done his best to do everything he can, starting from Songjin, including the later Central Plains, plus the Qing army's entry into the customs this time, Xu Changqing has done his best, and it can be regarded as leaving a trace of incense for the Ming Dynasty.

However, how can it be a day's cold if it is three feet freezing?

If the source of the stubborn disease is not removed, there is still not enough spare strength in the face of such a choice that is directly related to the general trend......

……

In the next few days, countless scouts flew back and forth between Haicheng and the northwest direction, and the information on the battlefield was like snowflakes, constantly passing to Xu Changqing's hands.

What made Xu Changqing a little fortunate was that Sun Chuanting was worthy of being the last backbone of the Ming Dynasty, and after understanding the intentions of the main force of the Wandering People's Army, he did not rush forward, but gathered troops and horses from all over the country to reorganize the army in Weinan.

As a result, the pressure on the thieves is greater.

No matter how poor the Ming army is, after all, it still has the entire Ming Dynasty as the support, and the main force of the exile army has only the surplus grain that has been accumulated in these poor places these days.

As long as Sun Chuanting can stabilize for a month or two, the Ming army still has a great chance!

Even if it can't completely pacify the main force of the exile army, defeat them, and inflict heavy losses on them, there is still a play.

Now, what Xu Changqing is most worried about is whether Emperor Chongzhen can endure it and whether he can make the right decision at such a time.

If Emperor Chongzhen is still old and eager for quick success, then I am afraid that the Daluo Immortal will also be weak to return to heaven......

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, there are still a few days before the auspicious time of Xu Changqing's wedding, and guests from all over the world also gather in Haicheng like a tide.

If it weren't for this incident, as Xu Changqing's brother, Wang Pu would definitely have to come over in person, but at this time, he obviously couldn't come, of course, the staggering gifts must be indispensable.

And with the arrival of guests and friends from all over the place, there was also a lot of news from the northwest.

On this day, Xu Changqing finished greeting the guests and was about to go to the inner study to rest, but he was stopped by Wu Xiang: "Changqing, what do you think about the situation in the northwest?" ”

Wu Xiang directly confronted Xu Changqing in the official hall, which made Xu Changqing have to be entertained if he didn't want to be entertained.

These days, Wu Xiang is still extremely comfortable in Haicheng.

He has been fighting in Liaodong since he was a child, and he is very adaptable to the climate by the sea, and Haicheng is much more south than Liaodong, and the climate is more pleasant than Liaodong.

In addition, the urban construction of Haicheng is very good, not only the roads are wide, but also cleaner, especially the trade of Haicheng is very developed, you can't think of it, as long as you have silver, you can buy it, it is really a livable land.

However, the changes in the northwest made Wu Xiang nervous all of a sudden.

"Father-in-law, what do you think?"

The pretty little maid served fragrant tea, and Xu Changqing did not make a statement in a hurry, but kicked the ball back to Wu Xiang.

Wu Xiang smiled bitterly and let out a long sigh: "Eventful, eventful!" On Sun Butang's side, it seems that the soldiers are strong and strong, but in fact they are all miscellaneous cards. If you want to really make achievements, you still have to count on the elite of the nine sides, especially the Dingbei Bobu. But ......"

Saying that, Wu Xiang looked at Xu Changqing: "The old man is worried that things may still change, and when the time comes, Changqing, you will have to go to the northwest battlefield again." ”

Xu Changqing nodded slowly, Wu Xiang was scheming after all, and his experience and vision were no problem.

In fact, many things are understood by everyone, but no one has ever said it and put it on the table.

The set of the generals led by the Ming Dynasty was no problem in the peaceful years, but at this time, it was really necessary to fight a tough battle, and many contradictions were exposed.

There are too many factions, too many mountains, Wenchen has no direct descendants, and the imperial court is declining day by day, how can it be possible to suppress these big army leaders who are used to being powerful in the local area?

"Father-in-law, do you always have any suggestions?"

Seeing that Xu Changqing didn't say anything at all, Wu Xiang secretly scolded in his heart 'little fox', but with a son-in-law and half a son, Xu Changqing's position at this time is not inferior to their Wu family to a large extent, and even wins.

Wu Xiang thought for a moment and said, "At the moment, let's do the wedding first." The sages have clouds, and the Qi family rules the country and the world! Changqing, you are still young, and it is right to have things planned in advance, but don't go too far. After all, there are too many things in this world that are beyond our human reach. Do your best, just listen to the destiny of heaven! God will not disappoint the people who really do things. ”

Xu Changqing nodded heavily, and his heart suddenly brightened up a lot.

It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and I can't stop it, instead of wasting my mind on this, it's better to do my best and firmly grasp what I can grasp!

"The father-in-law has been taught, and the son-in-law has been taught."
