Chapter 958: Guan Ning and Wuzhen Hachao
In later generations, Lei Ge said: "Standing on the tuyere, pigs can fly." ”
However, in later generations, technology and entertainment are really too developed, and all kinds of unscrupulous media will always deliberately bring rhythm in order to attract attention, so as to distort and one-sidedly the original meaning of a sentence.
Brother Lei's statement is certainly not wrong.
But I have to add a sentence later.
"Virtue is not worthy, what you got by luck, sooner or later you have to use your strength to return it."
Xu Changqing was very clear about this at this time.
Don't look at the rout of the Qing army at this time, it is not the same, it is like a clown jumping off the beam, but they only defeated the hot air balloon troops, and the main force was not damaged.
At the core, I am afraid that most of it is the reason why the influence of the Great Qing Kingdom has been declining over the years.
In particular, the Great Qing Kingdom has recently begun to delegate power to the minions of the Han Army, which has gradually made many ghosts and ghosts gradually begin to be restless.
And the Han army banner has been swept from the Central Plains to Jiangbei these days, burning and looting all the way for thousands of miles, don't look at the number of people is indeed too much, but the purity of it must not be compared with before.
This is just like when Li Zicheng became their exile army.
Once it is a victory, it is like a wolf dog, which is simply invincible, catching whoever bites, and killing whoever is caught.
But once defeated, the limelight is wrong, and even the Daluo Immortal may no longer be able to save it.
Can you say that the outcasts have no combat power?
No!
Slowly, they can make a comeback!
So today's big victory, Xu Changqing is not the slightest expansion, but more cautious!
Through various ways, we will continue to summarize today's harvest in the direction of Qian Village.
By dawn the next day, not only did the main force of the Model Army and 100,000 female slaves arrive at Qian Village, but more than 20,000 and nearly 30,000 Han Army Banner slaves were gathered here, as well as a large number of their chariots and horses.
After the detailed statistics came out, Xu Changqing was taken aback.
These grains and grasses, even if the scale of the model army has reached a terrifying level of nearly 300,000 people at this time, is enough to support a month.
How could Xu Changqing be rash again? Even if you take Qian Village as the core and build fortifications on a large scale, you will eat these harvests first.
……
By noon, the model army's fortifications in Qian Village were already quite large-scale.
At this time, the people of Dolgon, who had fled all night and had only slept for a few hours, also took Wu Sangui, Kong Youde, Bai Guangen and other big minions of the Han army's banner, and quietly came to a small dirt slope seven or eight miles away from Qian Village, and watched the new battle formation of the model army from a distance.
As Xu Changqing expected, although the various units of the Qing army were defeated, they did not collapse, and in the face of Dolgon's call, even Wu Sangui did not dare not come.
At this time, these people didn't have much rest, their eyes were red, and their faces were tired, just like their later gang of unscrupulous children and grandchildren had just finished pumping. Smoke. The appearance of the bubble.
But even so, Dolgon's posture is still straight, but it always feels a little thin and gloomy......
"Let's talk about it, the situation has come to this point, what are you thinking?"
Dolgon glanced at everyone coldly, his eyes quickly converged on Wu Sangui, and then directly called his name and said, "Ping Xibo, you come first!" ”
“……”
Wu Sangui swallowed with a little difficulty.
He had already guessed this consequence since the rout of the army last night, and he had made a lot of preparations, but when it really happened, he still felt very uncomfortable......
But he is not a mortal, so he quickly adjusted his state and said respectfully: "Back to the regent, the current battle situation is indeed unfavorable to my Great Qing Dynasty, but things have not yet collapsed, and the general trend is still in the hands of my Great Qing Dynasty." ”
Hearing Wu Sangui never mention yesterday's battle, but only talked about the present, the eyes of everyone around him couldn't help but be mentioned, and they all converged on him.
Although Duoduo had already gritted his teeth at Wu Sangui, and he couldn't wait to eat Wu Sangui's flesh and blood raw, he saw Dolgon
looked at him, and he could only endure himself.
Seeing that the situation had entered his control, Wu Sangui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief a little, and continued: "Regent, everyone. The original strategic goal of our Qing Dynasty was to encircle Xu Changqing and the model army, and now, this strategic goal is still controllable. Yesterday's battle, there may be many reasons for it, but the background of my Qing Dynasty is here, and the situation has not escaped the control of my Qing Dynasty. ”
Hearing this, everyone's faces slowed slightly.
Wu Sangui was more calm in his heart, and continued: "In this battle, the core is still Yangzhou. Not surprisingly, the model army will definitely approach Yangzhou after a short rest. This will be a good opportunity for me to clear the day. I am willing to ask the regent to be enacted, and the minions are willing to be the vanguard, and the sniper model army will converge to Yangzhou! ”
As he spoke, Wu Sangui was busy kneeling on one knee and respectfully asking Dolgon to fight.
Everyone was a little confused, and immediately there was a low discussion.
Wu Sangui was still in a normal rhythm, everyone was waiting for him to analyze the current situation more specifically, who would have thought that he would jump out so much later, shut up, and took the initiative to ask for battle?
Dorgon and Zilharan looked at each other, and the latter nodded slightly.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Dolgon's mouth: "Pingxiber, your loyalty, this king knows. That being the case, the vanguard of this battle is in your hands! ”
As he spoke, he looked at Kong Youde, Bai Guangen and the others: "Who else are you waiting for, who else is willing to be the vanguard with Ping Xibo and fight for my Qing Dynasty?" ”
"This ......"
Everyone was a little confused, and they couldn't touch the rhythm for a while.
But the parties are not confused.
After a moment, Kong Youde hurriedly came out and said respectfully: "Regent, the slave is willing to work with Ping Xibo to be the vanguard of the Qing Dynasty for me!" ”
"Good!"
Dolgon nodded coldly, "In this case, I will leave the Qing Dynasty vanguard battle to you!" ”
After speaking, he didn't look back, and simply left decisively.
All the Manchurian nobles also glanced at these big masters of the Han army banner coldly and left one after another.
When they also left, many people wanted to stay and discuss what was going on, but there were already people who understood that they left quickly and never got involved.
This also made more people react, did not dare to say more, and left one after another.
Soon, there was no one on the small dirt slope.
……
In the afternoon of the same day, Wu Sangui's main force of Guanning and Kong Youde's Wuzhen Hachao main force converged towards the Qiancun camp of the model army.
At this time, they seemed to have increased their memory.
The battalion was twenty miles away from the model army's battle formation, and as soon as it was settled, it quickly built fortifications, looking like it was going to fight a protracted war and intercept the model army from going to Yangzhou.
Qian Village.
Model Army Battle Formation.
On the nearly 100-meter-high lookout platform that had just been built, watching the movements of the two Han military flags through the telescope, Chunni frowned tightly: "Brother Xu, the Tartars are really tough." It was already like this, and they came to their senses so quickly. They are stuck in front of us like this, and it will be a little difficult for us to go to Yangzhou......"
Zhang Baozhu also frowned vigorously: "Changqing, look at the appearance of the fortifications built by the Tartars, almost like a ground mouse." They want to make turtle shells, but they are stuck with us. ”
Xu Changqing nodded,
After following him for so long, Zhang Baozhu's military literacy seems to have improved qualitatively, but Chunni is not weak and has a high understanding.
After a moment, Xu Changqing smiled and said, "Baozhu, Chunni, have you seen whose people those two are?" ”
"Huh?"
The two women were stunned at the same time, and they were busy looking at it carefully, and they instantly felt a little cold around them.
Chunni's eyes widened, and she couldn't stop being shocked: "Brother Xu, Tartar, is Tartar trying to ......?"
Zhang Baozhu bit his red lip hard, "Tartar's hand is really vicious." Changqing, what should we do next? ”
The two daughters knew about Xu Changqing's relationship with the Wu family and the Kong family, and Xu Changqing was right last night
They expounded some of their own ideas, that is, if they can pull and disintegrate, they will co-opt and disintegrate, and try not to make too many killings and sacrifices.
Both girls were deeply concerned about this.
Who would have thought that after one night, the Qing army would directly push out these two 'closest' people with Xu Changqing!
"Hehe, don't panic, where is this? Things aren't as bad as they thought. Baozhu, Chunni, you two will stare here for a while, and I'll go squint first. We'll talk about that later. ”
After Xu Changqing finished speaking, he left in style.
Only Zhang Baozhu and Chunni were left speechless for a while.
Fortunately, the two women knew Xu Changqing's temperament very well, and they knew that Xu Changqing was very tired, so they no longer bothered Xu Changqing, and focused all their attention on the two battle formations in front of them.
……
Although he was quite tired, Xu Changqing was really lying on the bed, but he didn't feel much sleep.
This bedroom is the master bedroom of the main courtyard of the Qian family, even if it has been looted and looted several times, the condition is still very good, all kinds of wood decoration, either pear or mahogany, wenge wood is considered poor.
Looking at these simple and elegant decorations, Xu Changqing's thoughts gradually diverged a little.
At this time, the Qing army pushed out Wu Sangui and Kong Youde, which seemed unexpected, but it was also reasonable.
Although Xu Changqing did not have detailed information from the Qing army at this time, there were many things that he could guess without much effort.
To put it bluntly, the strategic intentions of Dolgon and the Qing army, to a large extent, coincided with Xu Changqing's.
Xu Changqing wanted to make an example of the monkeys, and only picked one or a few Han army banners, and the rest was to disintegrate and gather the power of the Han army flag as much as possible, so as to reduce the damage to the Han nation and the entire Shenzhou.
Dolgon, on the other hand, wanted to defeat both the Han Army Banner and the Model Army.
The original intentions of the two sides are very different, and there are not too many deviations in actual operation.
But.
Whether it is Dolgon or Xu Changqing, they are a little idealistic and want to take advantage of it.
In this state, things simply can't reach that kind of perfection.
This is the trouble of a big family.
As the old saying goes, "The barefoot is not afraid of the shoe-wearing." ”
When you don't have anything, you can go into battle at any time, and the big deal is a life, and death is death.
But when you have everything, you can't make decisions like you used to!
You have to think carefully, tremble, walk on thin ice, and want to use the least price in exchange for the most benefits!
But realistically, this is simply not possible, especially in this state of affairs.
However, if you go deeper, this thing is indeed a shackle, but if you play it well, it can definitely become a help!
The Qing army's biggest weight now is Yangzhou City.
Xu Changqing was indeed a little afraid of losing Yangzhou City.
But, don't forget, Yangzhou is not his Xu Changqing's native after all, even if he loses it, what can he do?
If Yangzhou is lost and the model army retreats, can the Qing army's state at this time really be stopped?
Therefore, the Qing army will not make a move against Yangzhou City!
There is a high probability that they will have to wait for the model army to take the initiative to attack, so as to find the mistakes of the model army in the initiative of the model army.
But.
Wu Sangui and Kong Youde are not the same!
Don't look at how decently they repair the 'ground rat's nest', but if you think about Xu Changqing with your toes, you can also understand that these two brothers must be under pressure at this time!
In other words, Xu Changqing can afford to drag it out, and it doesn't matter if it drags on for another ten days and a half months, anyway, the grain and grass have been replenished a lot, the troops and the female slaves have food and drink, and there are various literary and artistic programs to watch, and the small days can even be said to be comfortable.
However, Wu Sangui and Kong Youde seem to be targets at this time, can they still afford it?
After figuring out this link, a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Xu Changqing's mouth, and he seemed to have faintly grasped a better way.
