Kaifeng City.

Xu Changqing soon received a reply from the imperial court, and got a handwritten letter from Hou Sui.

In the letter, in order to curry favor with Xu Changqing, Hou Sui made a detailed analysis of the current situation and the situation in Beijing for Xu Changqing, and said that he was about to come over and talk to him in detail.

This made Xu Changqing fall into a cold silence for a while.

The reason why he dragged in Kaifeng City and did not send a detailed report to the imperial court was that on the one hand, he coordinated the interests of all parties, and on the other hand, Xu Changqing was also waiting to see the situation.

But what Xu Changqing didn't expect was that in order to reach the Central Plains, the imperial court had already moved the mind of mobilizing the elites of the nine sides.

The two key tunes are still Cao Bianjiao and Wang Pubu!

This makes the situation even more complicated!

Of course, Xu Changqing understood the meaning of the imperial court, and he definitely wanted to take advantage of this east wind to directly kill Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin and others!

But Li Zicheng, are they so easy to do?

Xu Changqing shook his head and smiled.

According to the strength of the model army at this time, even if Wang Pubu and Cao Bianjiao's department are added, it is okay to barely chase them, but if you really want to start a war, it is difficult to have a chance of winning!

Li Zicheng has been in business for too long.

At this time, the exile army is no longer the thin spark of the year, but has already formed a prairie fire.

The credibility of the imperial court is almost non-existent at the local level, especially in these places that have been severely troubled by the displaced people's army.

Even the central capital Fengyang was broken, and the Fu King of Luoyang was cooked.

What else can you expect from the common people?

Now, Li Zicheng has retreated to Nanyang Mansion, Luo Rucai and He Yilong have entered Jing, and Zhang Xianzhong has been active at the junction of Jingchu and Sichuan, ready to enter Sichuan at any time.

Wangshan ran a dead horse.

If the ideas of the imperial court are allowed to develop, then not only will the Ming Dynasty fall into the quagmire again, but Xu Changqing, Wang Pu, and Cao Bianjiao will also be dragged into the endless quagmire!

Fortunately, this old thing is clever and has left room for everyone in advance, and now there is still a chance to buffer.

And!

Xu Changqing couldn't help but look in the northeast direction.

The Dolgon brothers in Shengjing have presumably stabilized their internal problems.

In another time and space, at the end of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and at the beginning of the sixteenth year, the main force of the Qing army entered the customs again, directly killed the hinterland of Shandong, and broke through the Lu Wangfu!

Many things have changed at this time, but Dolgon's sharpness will never change!

Coupled with the shadow of pine brocade, I'm afraid this turtle son will only get worse!

……

At noon, Kaifeng Dongcheng camp.

In the spacious official hall, Xu Changqing summoned Zhu Gongfang, the king of Zhou, Gao Mingheng, the highest civilian governor of Kaifeng, Chen Yongfu, the general soldier of Henan, including Huang Shu and other core dignitaries of Kaifeng Mansion, to hold the final military meeting before the official victory.

At this time, the interests of the Battle of the Central Plains and Kaifeng City had basically been discussed.

As He Sheng famously said: "Everyone's good is really good." ”

Although Xu Changqing is famous, if he wants to be stable, he must make people speak, and he must make people full, and it is impossible to eat alone.

However, the current situation is changing too fast, and people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and many things naturally have to be adapted to local conditions.

"Uncle, regarding the matter of reporting success, there is no problem with my Kaifeng Mansion. We have prepared the good news, when will it be sent, uncle, you can let me know. ”

After some greetings, Gao Mingheng took the lead in expressing his position.

To a large extent, he is the biggest beneficiary of this battle.

As the left squire of the military department, as long as he is not kicked in the head by a donkey in the future, he will definitely enter the cabinet as a 'knowing soldier'!

Xu Changqing smiled and nodded, and looked at the others again.

At this time, there were less than ten people in the official hall, except for the Kaifeng Mansion, which were Xu Changqing's two cronies, Zhao Zengjin and Xu Xiu.

In addition, Li Yan also attended as a 'clerk' to record the meeting.

Although Gao Mingheng's words were high-sounding, everyone present understood that his report document would definitely be sent to Xu Changqing before he saw it.

"Ahem."

Zhu Gongfang, the king of Zhou, cleared his throat at this time and said with a smile: "Uncle, Kaifeng is a lonely city, and the lonely people have been desperate several times, it is precisely because of your bravery, uncle, that I can have this time in Kaifeng." In terms of success, Lone has no opinion. ”

As he spoke, he smiled and glanced at everyone: "Everyone, our ancestors have an old saying, and Gu has always thought about it. Working together to get through that. People are doing it, the sky is watching, and I believe that no one will get along with me or all of us. ”

Chen Yongfu hurriedly laughed and said, "What the prince said is true. If it weren't for Uncle Shenwu, how could we be today? I'm afraid that the thieves would have been buried long ago. Hehe, my old Chen has no opinion. ”

How dare Huang Shu come out of a moth at this time? His core lifeline, his future, has long been under Xu Changqing's control.

Busy also said with a smile: "Uncle, the lower officials have no opinions, everything is based on the uncle." ”

Xu Changqing smiled: "In this case, everyone has no opinion, so be it." Today and tomorrow, everyone will send the report documents. ”

"Yes."

……

After the meeting, everyone left separately, but Li Yan stayed on the spot with Xu Changqing, looking at the tall man in front of him with great respect.

In the past few days, as he gets closer and closer to Xu Changqing, he also becomes more and more aware of Xu Changqing's responsibilities and means.

Especially in the name of 'draft girl', when he drove the people of Kaifeng City, Li Yan was really amazing!

He really couldn't imagine how Xu Changqing's brain grew and he could come up with such an incredible plan.

At this time, he also understood more and more how lucky he was to be able to get on Xu Changqing's big ship.

However, Xu Changqing was not in a good mood at this time, lit a bag of cigarettes, took a deep breath, and looked at the slightly hazy sky outside the window a little tiredly.

Li Yan also came back to his senses at this time, and couldn't help but be clever, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, the core problem between Kaifeng and the Central Plains has been solved, you, why are you still worried?" ”

Xu Changqing let out a long puff of smoke, looked at Li Yan with a smile, and did not hide it, recounting what Hou Sui said.

"This ......"

Li Yan's brows suddenly furrowed.

Although he has a good strategy, he is too white to really enter the office, and it is difficult for him to experience the cruelty of the struggle physically.

Compared with this cruelty, the Wandering People's Army is a bit pediatric.

But Li Yan was not a mortal after all, and he quickly reacted.

After thinking for a moment, he said respectfully: "Uncle, even if the imperial court mobilizes the elites of Yutian Bo and Dingbei Bo to really eradicate the scourge of thieves, I'm afraid it's still unrealistic." What thieves are best at is running away, and this kind of fighting while running. And the officers and men of our model army have been fighting for several months, and they are already exhausted, if they can't go back to their hometowns to rest and recuperate, and then travel thousands of miles, something will happen. ”

Xu Changqing nodded: "Mr. Li, what do you think?" ”

Li Yan also understood what Xu Changqing meant, his brows were tightly locked, and he said respectfully for a while: "Hou Ge Lao's move is really indescribable. It's nice to hear that he takes the overall situation into account, but it's hard to hear, he's just for his own selfish interests! According to the student's thoughts, uncle, in this matter, I am afraid that we have only one choice, and that is ------ Tuo! ”

Xu Changqing looked at Li Yan with appreciation, this master is really talented, he saw the core at a glance, and accurately pointed out the solution to the problem.

For now, the best way is to trust.

Moreover, you have to fight the time difference with Hou Xun!

Otherwise, the report document will be issued after it is opened.

"Mr. Li, I will discuss this matter with you later, Lord Zhou is already waiting for me. I'll leave it to you about immigration! ”

As he spoke, Xu Changqing bowed his hand to Li Yan.

Li Yan instantly lifted his spirits, and hurriedly bowed his hand respectfully: "Uncle, don't worry, these things are left to the students." Not surprisingly, tomorrow morning, the first batch of immigrants will be able to leave. ”

……

In the afternoon, Xu Changqing chatted with Zhu Gongqi, Gao Mingheng, Chen Yongfu, and Huang Shu for a long time, and the core interests of all aspects were more clear, and Kaifeng's offensive and defensive alliance was becoming more and more perfect.

In the final analysis, at this time, whether it is Kaifeng City or the model army, no one wants to be contaminated with this kind of bloody thing anymore, everyone is tired.

However, the bigwigs of the court patted their butts and sat down to decide, so they couldn't help Xu Changqing and their bad planning.

After dinner, Xu Changqing came to the female assassin Tang Yu's side.

Tang Yu had been transferred to the underground prison in Dongdaying, Kaifeng, and she was the only one in the huge prison.

But with the little maid hot bar with her, she is not lonely.

"The slave has seen the uncle."

Seeing Xu Changqing coming, Reba hurriedly saluted respectfully.

Xu Changqing smiled: "Go prepare a few side dishes, bring some good wine, and I'll accompany Miss Tang to have a few drinks." ”

Tang Yu had already changed into a loose white robe at this time, but even if it was a prison robe, it made her wear a different charm......

Seeing Xu Changqing sitting down next to her, she bit her red lip, but didn't say anything, and sat down opposite Xu Changqing.

In the past few days, getting along with the little maid hot bar, she has also learned more things by knocking on the side.

Moreover, with her experience, she can clearly judge that Xu Changqing did not assign any trap tasks to the hot bar, but really to accompany her, and also made that dance to make them comfortable.

This made Tang Yu a little suspicious for a while, what did Xu Changqing want to do.

The two were silent for a long time, and Xu Changqing smiled: "Miss Tang, are you still adapting to being here these days?" ”

Tang Yu glanced at Xu Changqing and bit his red lip again: "It's okay." Speaking of which, there is one thing I would like to thank you for. ”

"Oh? What did Miss Tang say? ”

Tang Yu said bluntly: "Thank you for letting the hot bar accompany me." Also, thank you for saving the Hot Bar family. ”

Seeing that there were results so quickly, Xu Changqing's mood was also a lot more relaxed, and he said with a smile: "It's really an honor for Changqing to let Miss Tang thank you." However, now something has changed in this matter. ”

"Huh?"

Tang Yuliu frowned slightly: "What's the change?" ”

Xu Changqing didn't hide it, and told her what Hou Sui was about to come over.

"This ......"

Although Tang Yu didn't know much about politics, he quickly understood what Xu Changqing meant, once Hou Sui came, Xu Changqing's immigration plan would be in trouble.

"You, do you want me to help you get rid of that Hou Ge Lao? No problem! I'm willing to do it! ”

Tang Yu did not hesitate and looked into Xu Changqing's eyes.

Xu Changqing shook his head and smiled: "Miss Tang, this is a mistake." I've told you before that fighting and killing won't solve the problem. What if you kill Hou Ge Lao? The imperial court will also send Zhang Ge Lao and Li Ge Lao over! With so many people, can you kill them all? ”

"This ......"

Tang Yu frowned tightly, as if he was a little confused.

Looking at her thoughtful and delicate appearance, Xu Changqing had a bad smile in his heart.

Brainwashing is nothing more than grasping a certain point to magnify it and placing it in the highest position.

At this time, Tang Yu's brainwashing seems to put the people first.

This is exactly what Xu Changqing wants.

However, if you want to really take her down, you can't be too anxious, this girl is still very smart.

At this time, the hot bar carefully brought over a few delicate drinks and dishes.

Xu Changqing said with a smile: "Miss Tang, I've been busy with official business these days, and I don't have time to come and talk to you." Let's eat and talk. The emperor is not bad for evil soldiers. ”

Seeing Xu Changqing smiling and helping her pour a full glass of wine, Tang Yu bit her red lip and didn't refuse again after all.
