Thank you to the Infinite Divine Brothers for your support, thank you boat.

"What?"
"The main forces of the Tartars have all retreated overnight, and even the sentinels have retreated?"
Early the next morning, Xu Changqing originally wanted to be comfortable and lazy, sleep for an extra hour and get up again, after all, the planning of the past few days has really consumed a lot of his vitality.
Unexpectedly, before the sky was very bright, he was woken up by the soldiers on duty outside the tent, and the news came.
Xu Changqing quickly got dressed, he didn't have time to wash, and hurriedly came outside to check.
At this time, there was still snow in the sky, and most of the world was covered in silver, only in the east direction, the auxiliaries and firefighters who handled the corpses of the war horses were still busy working.
In the open space outside Xu Changqing's Chinese army, countless continuous wooden shelves have been erected, and the corpses of war horses that have been disposed of are hung up, and I am afraid that there are tens of thousands.
This damn thing, let alone at this time, is put in the future generations, this scale is definitely only available in a super-large slaughterhouse, and it is all white silver.
However.
The surrounding Qing army battle array is also hidden in this continuous silver, and it is difficult to find footprints in the vast world as far as the eye can see.
In the sky, dozens of hot air balloons have already begun to work, including many nights that have not been collected, and they have amplified their courage, and they have gone out of the battle formation and began to probe the dead and silent battle formations of the Qing army around them.
"Sss
After watching it for a while, Xu Changqing couldn't help but gasp, and summoned Zhang Hu, who was on duty last night, to ask what was going on.
Zhang Hu was also a little anxious at this time, and hurriedly reported: "Dashuai, we can't tell for a while." It snowed heavily last night, and our night and fine cavalry have been defending the battlefield on the eastern front, until the second half of the night, in the middle of the night, when the eastern front was on duty, and several Qing army squads and sentinels not far from the front began to retreat, and we found the abnormality. Immediately, he sent a hot air balloon to inspect and found that several nearby Qing army gathering points were also empty, only fires, and no tents......"
Xu Changqing nodded slowly, "Don't worry, continue to investigate, you must figure it out!" ”
"Yes!"
……
More than an hour later, news from all sides came one after another, and the Qing army really retreated, retreating in all directions, with almost no reservations.
Including the several Han slave camps that were originally gathered around, they all retreated, and the hot air balloons who reconnoitred had already discovered their traces, all in the north direction, the fast ones had gone out of seventeen or eighteen miles, and the slow ones were almost ten miles, and they had also left a lot of stragglers, all of whom had been buried in the snow, and I am afraid that they were all more than lucky.
"Dashuai, this, what's going on? Could it be that we really scared the Tartars out of their guts, and the Tartars didn't dare to do anything with us anymore? ”
The red ladies and generals have all gathered around Xu Changqing, excited and a little confused at the same time.
Xu Changqing was also a little speechless.
Dolgon's guy is a belly button fart, what the hell do you think?
It doesn't make sense at all.
However, the model army has already achieved a lot of results at this time, and it has not had time to absorb and digest it, and it is impossible to chase the main force of the Qing army in this weather, so it can only wait and see for the time being.
Ordering all departments not to panic and do their homework first, Xu Changqing sat in front of the sand table and fell into thought, waiting for further news to come back.
A little bit more in the middle of the time.
Xu Changqing suddenly got the news that someone from Qufu City was there, it was no one else, it was Kong Yinzhi's son-in-law, his henchman Chen Junyan. And Chen Junyan still came on horseback.
As soon as he saw Xu Changqing, Chen Junyan gave up his hands again and again, and his handsome little white face was almost smiling: "Congratulations to Hou Ye, congratulations to Hou Ye, Hou Ye Huwei, directly scared the gall of the Tartars." Around Qufu City, the Tartars have retreated overnight......"
Xu Changqing's face was silent, but his heart was tighter, and he said with a smile: "Brother Chen is really courageous, at this time, he didn't dare to act rashly, but Brother Chen dared to come to spread the news, admire, admire." ”
Chen Junyan couldn't help but smile more happily, and said busily: "This is all the blessing of the Hou Ye." Master Hou, if the Tartars are retreating now, won't they go to Jining City? If the Tartars besiege Jining again, this ......"
Xu Changqing really wanted Chen Junyan's handsome face to pinch a few times, this little white face couldn't let people live in peace for a while.
On the face, Xu Changqing could only appease him first and assure him that until Qufu City was safe, the model army would not leave Qufu City.
After sending Chen Junyan away, Xu Changqing had already vaguely touched something, but he was still a little bit short of more accurate news.
However, Xu Changqing did not wait long, and at mid-noon, news came back from Jining, and all the Tartars around Jining had retreated, and they didn't even leave Mao, including a large number of Han slaves who had been gathered around Jining.
"Changqing, Tartar is really scared. If they retreat now, we won't be able to catch up if we want to. It's ...... thing."
Beside her, the Red Lady was still very excited, but with the news of Jining, the Red Lady also wanted to understand that it was not a good thing for the Qing army to run away at this time.
After waiting for more than an hour, news came from all around, Jining, Qufu, including the Han slave camps within more than 100 miles of the surrounding area, had already gone north, and they were very decisive.
Xu Changqing was also completely sure of Dolgon's intentions at this time!
He's- I really don't want to play with the Model Army.
Thinking about it, it's not hard to guess.
His failure in Jiuxian Mountain this time is far from a big defeat, and if he covers it up a little and makes a unified confession, it can be regarded as if it never happened.
As long as he brings back these people around Lianghuai, he can still secure the throne under his ass.
This is the 'gecko tail docking'!
In this kind of weather, it is not easy for the model army to chase them.
In the big tent, the charcoal fire was booming, and the warmth of the tent was like spring, but Xu Changqing couldn't stop pacing back and forth irritably.
Dolgon's turtle son's doing this suddenly pushed the pressure back to the side of the model army, and even the great victory of Jiuxian Mountain was negligible.
The red lady didn't dare to disturb Xu Changqing's thoughts anymore, and obediently withdrew from the tent, letting Xu Changqing be quiet by himself.
But the red lady just went out for a while, and suddenly went back and forth, the expression on her pretty face was a little indescribably weird, and she said in a low voice: "Changqing, Fan Wencheng and Sonny are here, can't you see them......"
"Huh?"
Xu Changqing frowned and looked at the red lady's beautiful eyes: "Where is the person?" ”
The red lady was taken aback by Xu Changqing's expression, and hurriedly said: "It's already outside the Chinese army, you want to see them, I'll let them in......"
“……”
……
"Slave Sony, student Fan Wencheng, have seen the Marquis of Haicheng......"
Not long after, Sony and Fan Wencheng cautiously came to Xu Changqing's big tent.
Xu Changqing had already eased up a little at this time, asked his soldiers to serve fragrant tea, and said with a smile: "Lord Suo, Lord Fan, which one is our regent singing?" Walking so abruptly that you don't even say hello? Is this looking down on me Xu Changqing? ”
Sonny hurriedly smiled and said, "Master Hou, you are smiling, the slave came here this time to report this matter to you......
Saying that, Sony didn't ink, and directly said his reason.
Dolgon, the regent of the Great Qing Kingdom, had decided to abandon the offensive in the Ming Dynasty, recognizing Xu Changqing's control of the Jiangbei region, and leaving Xu Changqing with about 300,000 Han slaves, who would gather these Han slaves on the front line of Ningyang, and wait for Xu Changqing to receive them at any time.
After Sony finished speaking, Fan Wencheng smiled and said: "Master Hou, speaking of which, between my Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, it is a country of brothers, and I can't hurt the harmony because of some trivial things." Before leaving, the regent also instructed the students to inform Hou Ye in person, that the regent had decided that after returning to Beijing, at most early November, he would send Dongor to Haicheng to admire the scenery of Haicheng and listen to your teachings. I don't know if you, Lord Hou, can you look at the face of Donggu and these 300,000 people, and let go of Du Du, the owner of the red flag......"
"Haha."
"Hahahaha."
After listening to the explanations of the two, Xu Changqing laughed angrily: "Lord Suo, Lord Fan, your regent has a good calculation!" Why, together with me, Xu Changqing is a piece of dough, kneaded by your Great Qing Kingdom?! ”
In the face of Xu Changqing's tyrannical power, how dare Sony and Fan Wencheng face it? Kneeling directly on the ground, his face against the woolen carpet under his feet, his buttocks facing the sky, and he didn't dare to breathe.
Looking at the submissive appearance of the two, Xu Changqing gradually regained his composure after being angry, and it was useless to get angry with these two dog minions.
Dolgon's hand is a bit clever!
This is a suppressive strategy for Xu Changqing from all aspects such as emotion, reason, and interests.
It's just a shame!
The population plundered by the Qing army in the Lianghuai area in this campaign was about one million, and the property was simply incalculable, and some wealthy families in Lianghuai, especially the big salt merchants, were basically cleaned up by them.
That is, Xu Changqing is fast, Tan Bai and Ao Bai they did not succeed in their sneak attack on Nanjing, and they have no time to attack Yangzhou, if Yangzhou is also conquered by them, then, half of the economy of the Ming Dynasty will be collapsed by them!
The shrewdest thing about Dorgon's hand is that-
Xu Changqing has already recovered more than 100,000 Denglai people and property in the hands of Azig in the Battle of Qingzhou, if you add the 300,000 people they left behind in this battle, it is almost close to 500,000, to a large extent, it is enough for Xu Changqing to explain to all aspects.
Even if it is Xu Changqing, he will be surrounded by it for a while.
Seeing that Xu Changqing's face was not good, Sonny and Fan Wencheng glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, of course, if you feel that my sincerity is not enough, we can discuss it again." It just so happens that Donggu is coming, if not, I will give you another 500,000 taels of silver, just as Donggu came over for a while, the expenses in Haicheng. However, these 500,000 taels of silver may not be delivered in Ningyang, and they will have to go further north. Why don't we wait a few days, can we put it in Linqing for trading? ”
Fan Wencheng also hurriedly mended the knife and said: "Master Hou, the regent also knows that you seem to lack a woman in the prime of life, if you want to, the student can go back to Tongbing regent now, and the population of Ningyang can all be replaced by women in the prime of life, and the score is exactly the same." ”
Xu Changqing didn't speak, just looked at them indifferently.
Both of them were a little unconsciously trembling, and they didn't dare to face Xu Changqing at all, and after making eye contact, Sony hurriedly said: "Master Hou, if, if you still feel that it is not enough, then please come and put forward conditions." As long as I can bear it, I will fully cooperate! ”
