Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it has entered the middle of August.

The weather has begun to cool down, and near Tongguan, the microclimate may have been changed by the wildfires, ushering in several days of continuous autumn rain.

From the first wave of Tongguan's self. After the murderous blasting test, Xu Changqing's camp by the Luoshui in Lushi County began to evacuate and quickly converged towards Tongguan.

Outside Tongguan, Xu Changqing did not launch another offensive against Tongguan, but set up camp on the bank of the Yellow River dozens of miles to the east.

In addition, the Tongguan Road was tightly sealed, as well as the surrounding areas where you could peep into the model army camp, and it was strictly guarded.

The Wandering Army didn't have too many radical actions, they didn't even conquer Lushi County, as if they had some kind of tacit understanding with Xu Changqing, and the two sides complemented each other.

On the side of the majestic Yellow River, the rolling river water is flooded with huge waves, like a yellow water dragon, 'rumbling' to the east.

Inside the camp of the Model Army.

Wang Pu's hair has turned a lot gray in the past few days, full of anxiety, early in the morning, he came to Xu Changqing's big tent again, and said with a tangled face: "Changqing, this thing seems to be a little wrong, the thief is too quiet." If we continue like this, will it make the court think that we are thieves......

Xu Changqing slowly played with the wine glass in his hand, and suddenly smiled: "Big brother, you can rest assured." The sky is falling, and I will help you with my brother! The thief is also my Xu Changqing thief! ”

"This ......"

Wang Pu was speechless for a moment.

Although Xu Changqing's words made him steady, how could he not understand how much Xu Changqing had borne these days.

Now, the wind direction has been heard from the Jingli side, and the grain and grass in some prefectures and counties in southern Shanxi have begun to be delayed.

"Changqing, the prince's side ......"

Wang Pu grabbed his scalp hard, and stopped talking.

Xu Changqing smiled: "Big brother, don't worry, I'm about to have a good talk with the prince today." ”

"It's fine."

Wang Pulao's face also flashed a touch of hideousness, and he said fiercely: "Changqing, we are brothers, I won't say anything superfluous, but you must remember that no matter where you are, big brother and I will always be your most solid backing!" ”

……

"Prince, how are you feeling these days?"

Not long after, Xu Changqing came to Wang Chengen's big tent and sat down with a smile.

If Wang Pu is worried, Wang Chengen will only be more worried than Wang Pu.

At this time, most of Wang Chengen's brain was gray, and his face was haggard.

But the old eunuch didn't have any way at this time, he already knew Xu Changqing's bottom line, and even more understood that if Xu Changqing was really forced to reverse because of this reason, what would be the consequences.

It's a pity that he is not in the capital at this time, and he can't do anything about the wind direction in the capital, so he can only face the west every day and live a difficult life.

"Changqing, between you and me, why do you need to be like this? The miscellaneous family doesn't have a few days to live, and when they die, they die. But, my lord, my Ming Dynasty is ......"

Wang Chengen fell into tears as he spoke, and his body couldn't stop trembling, extremely pitiful.

"Hey."

Xu Changqing sighed: "Prince, Changqing came here today just to explain the matter to you, Prince." Why don't I send troops? ”

"Huh?"

Wang Chengen hurriedly raised his head and looked at Xu Changqing.

"The prince thinks that if our army takes Tongguan and faces hundreds of thousands of thieves, what are the odds of victory?"

Xu Changqing also looked at Wang Chengen's eyes and said.

"This ......"

Wang Chengen swallowed with some difficulty, although Xu Changqing's words were too straightforward, but he was relieved and hurriedly said: "Changqing, I know that you are also difficult, but the emperor is an anxious person, and there are some people who don't know what to do, so they will fan the flames...... You don't have to worry, the affairs in the capital, the miscellaneous family will help you suppress it. ”

Xu Changqing respectfully bowed his hand and said, "Thank you for your love." With the trust of the prince, Changqing is much more down-to-earth. Prince, in fact, you really have to work hard, although the number of thieves is large, our army is not without opportunities, but these days, Changqing has thought about it for a long time and thought of a better way. I don't know if the prince has ever heard that these days, in Xijing City, Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin have taken in a lot of concubines? ”

"Changqing, what do you mean ......"

Wang Chengen's old eyes lit up.

"Huh."

Xu Changqing smiled: "Prince, as the old saying goes, full of warmth and lust. Desire. The thieves have fought for so many years, and it was not easy to defeat Xijing and occupy Qinchuan, do you say, will they not enjoy themselves......"

"Changqing, you want to ......"

……

It took more than an hour to appease Wang Chengen, and Xu Changqing returned to his big tent and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The soldiers hurriedly and carefully helped Xu Changqing bring a cup of hot tea.

Xu Changqing took a sip slowly, frowned slightly, didn't say anything, and slowly closed his eyes.

On this expedition, Xu Changqing did not bring any female dependents with him, even though there were many discomforts and the quality of life dropped sharply, Xu Changqing did not have time to appreciate this much.

At this time, although Wang Chengen was bluffed, Xu Changqing knew very well that the Wandering Army would indeed be corrupted rapidly in the future, but it was definitely not now!

Historically, the main reason why the exiled army was corrupted and retreated so quickly was that they had eliminated all the enemies in the world and occupied the Jingshi City.

Moreover, the Wandering People's Army has never fought with the Great Qing Kingdom, and it is at its peak, so it does not take the Great Qing Kingdom very seriously, even Wu Sangui had a lot of thoughts back then, and wanted to ask for a future on Li Zicheng's side.

It's a pity that later, 'Chong Guan was angry and became a red face', and the pressure of the Qing army forced the displaced army to raise salaries, and Liu Zongmin was eager for quick success, which directly led to the rebel army standing on the opposite side of the landlord class.

You must know that when Li Zicheng and them entered the capital, these landlord classes brought their own elixir and swept the couch to greet each other.

And at this time, with tens of thousands of soldiers at their doorstep, how could the exile army be corrupted?

They are a group of Xiaoqiang, not only can't they die, but they also get more and more fierce!

If nothing else, I'm afraid that in the next few days, the Wandering Army will definitely make a big move!

Xu Changqing couldn't help but look at the huge map, squinted his eyes vigorously, and then gathered his gaze to Shanxi!

If Xu Changqing stood in the position of the Liumin Army, he would definitely choose to start from the north of Qinchuan and plunder directly into Shanxi, so that the model army outside Tongguan had to wave his army north to rescue Shanxi!

Now in the hinterland of Shanxi, the imperial court has almost no available soldiers, fierce as a tiger, Gao Jie and they are hiding at this time, there is no intention to gather towards themselves, even though there are many strong cities in Shanxi, but the people of the army have passed this time, and the people's hearts of the imperial court in this area are probably exhausted soon......

But compared to the threat of the exile army, Xu Changqing was more worried about the situation in Beijing!

Even if the Wandering Army enters Shanxi, Xu Changqing has many ways to deal with it, but in Beijing, those miscellaneous people want to put their own black guns, and Xu Changqing is beyond the reach of the whip!

The key is the current state of affairs, in order to take into account the overall situation, many things, Xu Changqing can only be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis - he can't say anything about his suffering......

……

"Brother Chen."

"Brother Zhang."

"Brother Zhou......"

Beijing, Dashilar, Splendid Pavilion.

Before noon, there were several well-dressed sons, with domestic slaves, and one person of five and six entered the gate.

"Yo, a few sons are here, please, please come inside. The small courtyard of heaven and earth has already been prepared for a few of you......"

A few are only twenty-seven or eighteen, and the old bustards who still have charm and are wearing sexy cheongsams hurriedly greeted them and invited these sons and brothers into it.

In a secret room on the second floor of the hall, looking at these sons and brothers all the way to the heaven and earth in the middle courtyard, the big boss, the 'Qiantiao Sister', and Dong Yu, who has always been known as 'Li Lanfang', frowned tightly.

I have to say that Dong Yu is still extremely capable.

Maybe she has had more contact with Xu Changqing, she was deeply influenced by Xu Changqing, and in the Splendid Pavilion, many things have the shadow of the future.

Whether it is from the decoration in each yard, or the clothes of the old bustards, girls, and turtle slaves, they all give people a refreshing feeling.

In addition, she not only has good eyes, but also has a ruthless heart and is very decisive.

Not only did he get a few excellent Oiran seedlings from the Teaching Workshop Division, but he also bought a few top brands of Xiaoqinglou at a high price, which made Jinxiu Pavilion quickly open its name in Jingshi, and gradually had a brand effect.

However, although the business in front of him is good, Dong Yu is not happy......

She touched her bulging lower abdomen and muttered, "Baby, your father's reputation is not a bad thing now, and now, he is almost like a rat crossing the street......

Before, Xu Changqing felt that Dong Yu was very prosperous, and he had been ridiculing her for 'having a son with a big ass', but Xu Changqing didn't expect that she was really pregnant after only spending two nights with her.

The key is that Dong Yu is also a big deal in this matter, and when he realizes it later, when his stomach bulges and he feels unwell, this is to find a doctor to diagnose it, and when he wants to tell Xu Changqing, Xu Changqing has gone to the northwest battlefield.

It's a pity that even though she now has the ability to 'turn her hands into clouds and turn her hands into rain', and she is also the number one person in the capital, she is powerless in the face of this kind of momentum that has risen up and the mainstream society has begun to criticize and write......

"You bastard is so shrewd, why are you stupid now? Do you know that now, these people are eager to peel off your skin......"

Dong Yu said quietly.

At this time, a pretty little maid came over respectfully and reported: "Mom, they have entered heaven and earth." ”

Dong Yu's face suddenly turned cold: "I know, keep an eye on it!" I want to know exactly what they say! ”

"Yes......"

……

A small courtyard in heaven and earth.

In the exquisite attic, sumptuous drinks and dishes are being served on an assembly line.

Behind the veil, a warm female voice is singing smartly with the sound of silk and bamboo.

A few girls who accompanied the wine were also smiling and smiling, and they gently poured wine and vegetables for their sons, which was originally a peaceful scene.

But these boys, the anger is bigger than the other.

"Brother Wang, Brother Zhou, have you read this morning's Di Bao? Xu Changqing, this thief, actually returned the cat outside Tongguan, and did not move, if this dog thief didn't get through the thief, I would screw my head off and kick it as a ball! ”

"Why didn't you see it? It's just to be expected. Xu Changqing, a thief, is just a villain who sells his reputation! Relying on his own little tricks and cleverness, he tried in vain to treat everyone in the world as a monkey! Hehe, ridiculous, ridiculous! ”

"Phew!"

"What about the fucking loyalty, in my opinion, Xu Changqing, the dog thief, is the number one thief in the world, and everyone will be punished!"

"That's right! Sooner or later, I'm going to eat the flesh and blood of this dog thief raw......"

As soon as they drank the first glass of wine, the crowd couldn't wait any longer, and they sprayed one after another, so frightened that the girls who were waiting around didn't even dare to breathe anymore.

At this time, another white-clothed figure suddenly rushed over outside.

Everyone was immediately unhappy: "Brother Lu, why did you come here?" ”

"Brother Lu, being late is not the way of a gentleman, come over and punish yourself with three cups first!"

The man in white who was called Brother Lu hurriedly bowed his hands again and again, "Brothers, the punishment for wine must be punished, and the younger brother will make up for it immediately, but let's not be busy with the punishment for wine first, I happened to meet a noble person today, and he will come over immediately, let's go out and pick it up quickly." ”

"Noble?"

"Which nobleman?"

Everyone was a little confused.

But at this time, a figure in Tsing Yi had already walked into the courtyard with a confident and calm smile on his face.

"Chen Gongzi?"

"It's actually Chen Gongzi."

The sharp-eyed man quickly noticed the comer, couldn't help but exclaim, and hurried out to greet him.

The hall immediately exploded, and a group of people hurriedly rushed out.
