After stabilizing the interior of Yangzhou, the model army's night guards also began to take the initiative and gradually expanded the scope of reconnaissance in areas outside the city.

After losing two major battles in succession, the Qing army was quite cautious about this and did not dare to directly clash with the model army.

But their huge cavalry advantage is destined to give them the advantage of this base, they will leave when the model army comes, and they will come again when the model army retreats.

In such a repeated tug-of-war, it was difficult for the model army to expand this advantage into battle results and capture the core news of the Qing army's layout.

It is the air power of airships and hot air balloons that really plays a big role in reconnaissance.

However, although the Qing army maintained a relatively restrained attitude towards the model army, they did not have such a good temper towards the spies of other forces.

Whether it is the Ming army sentry in Nanjing, or the Zuo Liangyu department in Wuchang, or the Dashun military department in Xiangyang, as long as the other sentry agents appear in the area near Yangzhou, they are all killed by the Qing army rangers.

As a result, except for the model army participating in the war and the Qing army itself, other forces did not have a clear judgment on the situation in Yangzhou.

But 'paper can't contain fire.' ’

In the passage of time, the news that the model army had successfully arrived in Yangzhou and had joined Shi Kefa's department still spread to the direction of Nanjing.

Immediately, the news spread rapidly.

'Breaking the earth' is not enough, but in the world, the heads of the major forces are a little silent for a while.

Ordinary people can't understand this situation, as the world's heroes, how can the masters of this gang not understand?

……

Xiangyang City.

Li Zicheng, Song Xiance, Liu Zongmin, Niu Jinxing and other cores of the Dashun Army were deliberating, and it was the Yangzhou battle situation at this time that was discussed.

From retreating to Xijing to this time, the Dashun army finally breathed a sigh of relief, although it is not the same as when it was at its peak, but the skeleton cores are basically stable, everyone has divided the land, and it can be regarded as a place to stand.

Of course, the conditions in all aspects are certainly not comparable with before.

Fortunately, there was once a big man in Xiangyang, and Jiajingye's hometown is here, so the conditions of the palace are not too bad, and it can be regarded as the only comforting thing.

"Donkey ball, Xu Changqing's melon baby is a bit ruthless, Tartar is known as a million, even if some of the water is removed, I am afraid it will have to be 500,000. But this melon baby can actually stand up to these 500,000 people and cut them into Yangzhou City, it's really ......"

Niu Jinxing finished reporting the latest news summary, everyone was silent for a while, and Liu Zongmin took the lead in speaking, a little yin and yang at the same time, but also a little unstoppable sourness.

Others may not understand what it is to face the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army's 500,000 troops, how can he, Liu Zongmin, not know?

The defeat of a stone in Shanhaiguan was still in his nightmares from time to time, and it had become his nightmare.

Song Xiance said: "I heard that the hot air balloon of the Model Army is extremely sharp, and it seems that the Tartar has also made such a sharp weapon. Although Nanjing is a little hidden, there is still some gossip revealed. Some time ago, the hot air balloon of the Model Army collided with the hot air balloon of the Tartars, and it seems that the Model Army won the ......"

Saying that, Song Xiance also gasped a little.

What is this concept?

Flying Wars.

The model army won the battle of flying with a strong and decisive victory, and although it was still lacking in cavalry, it was not surprising that it was able to suppress the momentum of the Qing army.

Li Zicheng wrinkled one eye, and he couldn't stop staggering.

If Xu Changqing is allowed to force the Great Qing Kingdom to retreat like this, I am afraid that it will be their turn to be the Dashun Army next.

arrive

When they are in the Great Shun Army, are they capable of dealing with such a terrifying hot air balloon?

There was silence again.

To put it bluntly, even though they still have some ambition at this time, these enterprising spirits have gradually been worn out by reality with the passage of time.

What can I do?

There are wolves in front and tigers in the back!

The Ming Dynasty and the Qing Kingdom are like two behemoths, firmly stuck in the shadows, and it is difficult for them to break out of this shackle without a special opportunity.

This also makes many people in the Dashun Army extremely nostalgic for the glory of the past, and can only use the way of 'nostalgia' to vent their daily anguish.

"Newspaper—"

"Yangzhou eight hundred miles expedited!"

At this moment, the herald's hoarse shout interrupted everyone's thoughts.

"What?"

"Yangzhou? Where did Yangzhou come from for 800 miles to expedit? ”

Liu Zongmin was the first to react, and a pair of copper bell-like eyes suddenly stared at the limit.

Li Zicheng and the others are also a clever person, looking at each other, faintly capturing something.

Song Xiance sneered: "It must be Xu Changqing, this melon baby, who wants to play the trick of borrowing a knife to kill again!" It's up to him to get what chips he gets! ”

Li Zicheng also calmed down and said with a smile: "Xu Changqing is not a stingy person, this may be a good opportunity for Dashun." ”

Soon, the herald was delivering the information.

Since Li Zicheng was the first to watch.

But after watching it for a while, Li Zicheng's whole person was a little bad, and the crimson color rose on his black old face, and his body couldn't stop trembling a little.

After a while, he was relieved, and he was busy passing on the information so that everyone could see it.

"What?"

"Xu Changqing is actually willing to give us ten hot air balloons, and is also willing to train our soldiers?"

When everyone saw the contents of the information clearly, they were all a little unable to help themselves, and words could not describe the feeling at this time.

What does Xu Changqing want to do?

"This melon baby is dripping, what a big deal!"

It was Liu Zongmin who was the first to react, and sneered: "Eighty, eighty, Xu Changqing is in trouble at this time, he can't eat these tartars." ”

Niu Jinxing said: "What you said is extremely true. But it is precisely because the model army can't eat these Tartars that it will give us a chance. ”

Li Zicheng looked at Song Xiance: "Great military division, you, you calculate for you, what should you do about this matter?" ”

……

Soon after the Dashun Army received the news, the Daxi Army in Shu also received the sincerity of the Model Army.

Although Zhang Xianzhong and the others had long expected that Xu Changqing would definitely take the initiative to contact them, no one expected that Xu Changqing's chips would be so big!

Not to mention the technology of giving flowering bombs, but also to the technology of hot air balloons, which are artifacts, and are willing to help the Great Western Army train hot air balloon players.

This......

"Tell me, children, what are you thinking?"

In the main hall, Zhang Xianzhong, who had yellow hair and yellow beard and a black robe, was like an old thin tiger, scanning these fierce righteous sons beside him.

Sun Kewang, nicknamed 'A Wall', has a figure of at least one meter nine, and is as strong as a mountain, took the lead and said: "Father-in-law, Xu Changqing is really a person who looks at wolves, if he doesn't encounter difficulties, I'm afraid he won't think of us." We are afraid that we have to think carefully about this matter, and we can't be led into the ditch by him. ”

Liu Wenxiu, who was as white as a scholar, said: "Father-in-law, the truth is such a truth, but this opportunity is really good." If we can successfully take Hanzhong, we can go close to Qinchuan for nearly 800 miles and look forward to the ancient capital of Xijing. If you are afraid, you are afraid,

Xu Changqing's guy should also be in contact with Shunjun. If that's the case, it's a little hard to deal with......"

Ai Nengqi, who is quite honest in appearance and equally majestic in figure, said: "Father-in-law, the child thinks it, Hanzhong is desirable!" It's a big deal, let's take this hot air balloon technology, and occupy Hanzhong first, and then talk about the rest. Could it be that he, Xu Changqing, will not be able to fly and fly to Shu to find our trouble? I'm afraid that he won't be able to step through it for a while. ”

Everyone said a word, and the atmosphere quickly became warm.

Zhang Xianzhong glanced at the military advisor Pan Duao at this time, Pan Duao bowed his head lightly, and said to Li Dingguo, who had never spoken, with a smile: "Yichun, what do you think?" ”

Li Dingguo had been frowning and thinking, and only came back to his senses after hearing the words for a while, and said busily: "Father-in-law, the child is here, the child is a little difficult to say at this time......

"Can't say it?"

Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows a little, and the momentum of the whole person instantly darkened, which directly lowered the temperature in the hall by a few degrees.

Immediately looked at Li Dingguo unhappily and said, "Yichun, what does it mean to say that it is not good?" ”

Among these righteous sons, Zhang Xianzhong is very optimistic about Li Dingguo, and has been focusing on cultivating him.

It's a feeling that's hard to say.

In short, Zhang Xianzhong felt that Li Dingguo was very similar to him when he was young, and in some ways, even better than his conditions.

In particular, Li Dingguo has a great advantage, he is not chaotic in the face of danger, and he is very controlling, that is, Zhang Xianzhong relies on him a lot of times.

And history has also proved that among the 'four shows', Li Dingguo is the most rigid in terms of both his record and backbone.

In his life, although he never succeeded in killing the red and yellow belts of the real Manchurian royal family in the end, he killed Kong Youde in Guilin!

This is already the greatest achievement of the Han nation, and it is also the last fig leaf.

Li Dingguo hesitated for a while and said: "Father-in-law, this matter, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that it has to start from the general trend, and it depends on the ...... Do you want to go back to the Central Plains......"

"Huh?"

As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly fell silent.

This topic has always been a taboo topic in the Great Western Army, and it involves more complicated topics, to put it bluntly, it is a question of seniority.

Their Great Western Army, can they compete with the Great Shun Army for 'orthodoxy'.

Zhang Xianzhong also became more and more cold when he heard this, almost on the verge of attacking, but in the end he still endured it, let out a long breath and said: "Go on!" ”

"Yes!"

After receiving Zhang Xianzhong's consent, Li Dingguo also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Father-in-law, what the brothers said is good, this battle is a good opportunity for our Daxi, and it is also a good opportunity to go out of Shu, but it can't be based on this alone." What does it mean to be a child...... We should, should respond to Xu Changqing's request for a 'united front', unite with the Ming army, and jointly resist the Qing Dynasty! ”

"This ......"

Sun Kewang and the others, you look at me, I look at you, and your face is a little not good-looking.

It's not that they didn't see the big truths at the front in the secret report sent by Xu Changqing, but they habitually ignored them and only looked at the benefits at the end.

Who would have thought that Li Dingguo would take this out at this time to talk about it......

You know, in the past, this kind of high-sounding slogan was the least valuable.

But at this time, even if everyone wanted to refute for a while, they couldn't refute it, and they always felt that something was wrong......

Zhang Xianzhong also saw those big truths, but he also habitually ignored them, and when he heard Li Dingguo say it again, he captured the core thing.

stared coldly at Li Dingguo's eyes and said, "Yichun, you mean, Tartar, are you going to do it?" ”
