On February 11, four days later, Xu Changqing received the news that Yanzhou had been destroyed and the Lu Wangfu had been destroyed.

The main reason is that the Qing army blockaded this area extremely tightly, and the model army's night system of not collecting money is difficult to really penetrate into it.

Along with the news of Yanzhou, the main forces of the Qing army were already operating in Qufu and Jining near Yanzhou, and it was obvious that they wanted to attack these two cities.

Especially Qufu, as the hometown of a saint, is unspeakably expensive, and the news of the Qing army's activities in the surrounding area has spread and has caused a big problem in the central and southern parts of Shandong. Disturb. Chaos, people everywhere are panicking, and they are spreading rapidly towards the surrounding area.

In this state, even Liu Zeqing, who is as cunning as a loach, can't find a reason to shirk it, and is stepping up preparations to rescue Qufu.

Including Nanjing, it seems that it is also actively preparing.

"Donkey balls, these dog tartars really don't know whether to live or die! In case Qufu is broken, we will be passive. ”

In the Haicheng official hall, Xu Changqing also convened the bigwigs of the military and political sides to discuss the matter as soon as he received the news.

Zhao Zengjin also matured a lot at this time, his brows furrowed, and he took a sip fiercely.

Xu Changqing's face was expressionless, and he looked at Li Yan, Li Hongyun, and Yang Zhongliang, "Everyone, what do you think?" ”

Li Yan frowned and said: "Although the city of Qufu is small, it has gone through thousands of years, and all dynasties have been repairing it, and the Confucian family also has a lot of private soldiers, coupled with the troops in the surrounding area, it is impossible not to rescue Qufu, and the Qing army should not be able to conquer the city in a short time." But this also poses a big problem for us. If you don't save Qufu, it's hard for all parties to explain this matter......"

After Li Yan finished speaking, there was a low discussion in the hall.

This is the advantage of the strong mobility of the Qing army, which does not bloom here, does not bloom there, but there is always a place where it can bloom.

As long as they can find this kind of place, they can easily change from reactive to proactive.

Li Hongyun sighed at this time: "At this time, King Lu was destroyed, and my model army is the Shandong garrison, and this stain is not easy to clean. But I'm afraid, if my model army sends troops to rescue Qufu, but the Tartars kill back and raid Qingzhou, what should be done? ”

"This ......"

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

In the Ming Dynasty, the loss of the feudal domain was an unforgivable felony, and on the Yanzhou side, Xu Changqing had to shirk it, after all, it was not Xu Changqing's scope of responsibility, but once Qingzhou was lost, then, Xu Changqing had to continue this dirty water if he didn't want to take it.

Yang Zhongliang said: "What is this called? It was not easy for us in Haicheng to drive the Tartars away, how could this kind of dirty water be splashed on us at will. ”

This old man, as the chief butler of the Xu family, although he can be regarded as shrewd all his life, but the pattern is limited, and it is okay to deal with some government affairs that he is familiar with, and when it comes to the overall situation, he is not the opponent of Li Yan and Li Hongyun.

Zhang Hongqiang said: "Uncle, the situation is unavoidable at this time, according to the views of our subordinates, we should still stabilize ourselves." The reason why the Tartars put on this kind of dragon gate formation is not to lure us out. Even, if the main force of our model army goes out, the main force of the Tartars is very likely to attack Haicheng again! We may be able to rearm ourselves for war and wait and see the situation first. ”

……

The military discussion lasted for more than two hours, from afternoon to evening, but it was never sorted out.

At this time, the morale of the military was at its peak, and they wanted to go to war and try it in the field with the main force of the Qing army, but the Political Affairs Department was bitten to death and did not want to take risks.

Although this state was the result of Xu Changqing's deliberate planning, Xu Changqing was also a little messy at this time.

In the final analysis, even if he comes from the later generations and has the experience of crushing this world, Xu Changqing's future generations are not bad, but after all, he lacks experience, and in the face of this situation where the slightest carelessness is a catastrophe and his own strength is not strong enough, it is difficult for Xu Changqing to make a choice.

inner study.

Looking at the red line of the Qing army's entry into the customs on the huge map, Xu Changqing fell into deep thought.

What the hell are these dogs and Tartars trying to do?

Until the situation is clear, I'm afraid that we can only keep this state of affairs for the time being.

……

"Bastard!"

"Rubbish!"

"It's all rubbish! How did I raise you bunch of shit! Ahh

Early the next morning, just before the court, in the Kunning Palace, Emperor Chongzhen also received the news of the fall of Yanzhou, and he immediately couldn't hold back, and he was 'crackling' venting with Queen Zhou's precious tea sets.

It's only been a long time, and in less than two years, another vassal king has fallen......

Especially now that it is not only the Lu Domain, but also the Tartars are eyeing the hometown of the saint......

This, this is simply taking a big mouth alive and sucking the little face of Emperor Chongzhen, who has always claimed to be the Holy Ming Renjun!

Is he really a heinous and unforgivable king? ’

For a while, Emperor Chongzhen was a little suspicious of himself.

The surrounding eunuchs and palace maids have already hid far away, who dares to offend Emperor Chongzhen's moldy head in this state?

"Your Majesty, rest your anger, stop your anger. Why did you lose your temper so early in the morning? ”

At this time, Empress Zhou also got up, put on a phoenix robe, and hurriedly came over to comfort Emperor Chongzhen.

If there is anyone else at this time who dares to appease the angry Emperor Chongzhen, she is the only one in the world, Empress Zhou.

Seeing that it was his beloved wife who came over, Emperor Chongzhen's mood eased slightly, but the sadness and depression in his heart were even heavier, tears were about to flow out, and he looked at Queen Zhou's beautiful eyes with red eyes: "Empress, is it, am I really a faint king?" In this world, why do you want to treat me like this!! ”

Empress Zhou was frightened.

She has been married to Emperor Chongzhen for nearly twenty years, and she followed him at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and she has never seen Emperor Chongzhen lose his temper like this.

Busy picking up the battle report and looking carefully, for a moment, he couldn't help but cover his mouth in horror: "Your Majesty, this, this ......"

She wanted to comfort her husband, but she was just a small family of Jade from an ordinary family, even though she had been a mother in the world for many years, but her fighting skills were sporadic and sporadic for a while, and there was no way to persuade Emperor Chongzhen for a while.

Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen had recovered a little at this time, wiped a handful of tears and said, "Empress, I'm sorry, I'm out of shape." You have a good rest. I'm going to call a cabinet meeting right away! ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's ......"

Empress Zhou wanted to say something, but Emperor Chongzhen had already strode out of the main hall, and he was already ruthless in his heart!

Even if the prosperous Jining is lost, Qufu must not be lost!

Since Xu Changqing's Haicheng has already held the siege of the main force of the Qing army, let Xu Changqing save Qufu!

Daming, you must not lose face like this again, and you don't even have any face left.

……

Xu Changqing received a holy decree from Emperor Chongzhen early the next morning asking him to send troops to rescue Qufu!

The holy decree was sent over eight hundred miles urgently, in addition to the holy decree of sending troops, there was also a secret decree from Emperor Chongzhen to Xu Changqing, asking Xu Changqing to protect Qufu City no matter what, and not giving Xu Changqing a chance to refuse at all!

This moment also put Xu Changqing on the fire to roast!

In this state, how to save Qufu?

With the defensive ability of the model army at this time, coupled with the self-confidence that has been constantly built, even without the support of artillery, Xu Changqing is really worthy of a field battle with the Qing army.

But~~, once the main force of the model army leaves Haicheng, how should the rudimentary defense of Haicheng, including Qingzhou, deal with it?

After appeasing the father-in-law who passed the decree, he went to rest first, and Xu Changqing looked at Father-in-law Li who accompanied him to receive the decree: "Father-in-law, what do you think about this matter?" ”

"Forehead ......"

The cold sweat on Gonggong Li's forehead had already gushed out, and his legs and stomach were a little trembling for a while.

At this time, he finally understood why Xu Changqing had been suppressing the battle report from Haicheng's side and did not send it to Jingshi as soon as possible.

This lord's foresight, including his understanding of the emperor, is far superior to him......

If it weren't for the fact that he had made his own decision and secretly sent the previous battle report to Jingshi, how could he be ...... now

"Grandpa Li?"

has reached this state, and when it comes to standing in line, how can Xu Changqing ink a lot more on Gonggong Li?

"Plop!"

Gonggong Li actually knelt down directly in front of Xu Changqing, swallowed his saliva with great difficulty, and said: "Uncle, how can you be rash in major military affairs, you must, you have to think about it in the long run." Slave maid, slave maid thinks ......"

He wanted to say something, but Xu Changqing interrupted him directly and rudely, and sneered playfully: "Father-in-law, what do you mean is to let Ben Bo resist the order?" ”

"No, no, no, no, uncle, uncle, slave maid, slave maid doesn't mean this, slave maid is saying, we, we have just gone through a big war, we must rest, rest and recuperate before we can send troops!"

Fishy liquid oozed directly from under the crotch of Gonggong Li's pants, and he kowtowed to Xu Changqing desperately.

He quickly made the right choice during this difficult time.

"Father-in-law, the parents of the one who gave birth to me, and the father-in-law of the one who knows me!"

Xu Changqing hurriedly smiled and helped Gonggong Li up: "Father-in-law, with your words, Ben Bo is much more down-to-earth." Do you think, if Haicheng is gone, how should we deal with ourselves? Do you want to eat and someone take us in? Or, let the Tartars make us jerky? ”

After sending away Gonggong Li, who was almost like a soul scattered, Xu Changqing poured a large cup of tea 'Gu Dong Gu Dong', and the fire in his heart still couldn't be extinguished for a long time.

Although he had long known that Emperor Chongzhen would make a mistake, Xu Changqing didn't expect anything from him, but when something really happened, Xu Changqing was still a little unbearable!

To what extent has the great rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty and the foundation of the ancestors for nearly three hundred years become, hasn't he counted them yet?

Do you really think that military affairs are child's play?

However, it is impossible to resist disobedience.

To be honest, if there is a choice, Xu Changqing is not willing to give up Qufu!

This is not because Qufu is the hometown of a saint, let alone that Xu Changqing has any deep friendship with Kong Yinzhi, the sage of Yan, but the surroundings of Qufu, Jining, and Yanzhou are the most prosperous areas in Shandong and the most densely populated areas.

Even if the strength is not enough at this time to save these poor people and water and fire in the first place, Xu Changqing will never let the Qing army easily transport these people to the outside of the Guan!

This is Xu Changqing's bottom line!

"Newspaper—"

"Yanzhou Emergency!"

Just as Xu Changqing wanted to calm down and think carefully, the shouts of his own soldiers suddenly came from outside.

"Huh?"

Xu Changqing's brows suddenly furrowed, and he was clever in his heart, could it be that Qufu had been conquered by the dog Tartar?

Are they so useless that they can't even hold on for a few days?

"Bring the information!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers quickly brought in the information.

Xu Changqing opened it and looked at it carefully for a moment, but the whole person stood on the spot instantly!

The information was written by Wu Sanfu himself, and as early as a few days ago, he personally went deep into the hinterland of Lunan and brought almost all the elites of the model army who did not collect at night.

And this obviously has a big effect!

The Tartars, who have been hovering in the direction of Jining and Qufu for these days, are not the main force of the Qing army, but ...... A bunch of miscellaneous pieces left behind by the Eight Banners are deliberately creating suspicions!

What made Xu Changqing even more shocked was that the hundreds of thousands of people and materials collected by the main force of the Qing army around Yanzhou were also gone!
