Chapter 257: Huang Shu
There was some oppressive silence in the tent.
At this time, even if it is Liu Zongmin, how dare he talk nonsense again?
This sneak attack failed, and the casualties of the exile army did not seem to be large, only less than 3,000, but they were all elites under the command of each person and department.
At this time, although no one dared to turn their heads at him Liu Zongmin, this direction of the wind has gradually begun to be revealed.
Liu Zongmin is not stupid.
If you are not careful, it is very likely that you will lose all the games.
It was not easy for him Liu Ye to get mixed up at this time, how could he be willing to be down at such a juncture?
Liu Zongmin began to scan the people around him with his spare eyes, hoping that someone would reach a tacit understanding with him and pass the gate in front of him first.
However, he stared at Song Xiance for a long time, but this great military master had always been looking at his nose and nose, and he could clearly feel his Liu Ye's gaze, but he didn't pay attention to it at all.
Liu Zongmin was helpless and could only look at Niu Jinxing.
Niu Jinxing quickly felt Liu Zongmin's gaze, which made him, who was not too nervous, instantly start to tense.
Although he is also a military advisor, he is far inferior to Song Xiance's status, and he usually undertakes more specific affairs, and he belongs to a good man who works.
This gave him the capital to avoid the whirlpool of struggle.
He is not deeply involved in all aspects, and many things of the righteous army cannot be turned around without him!
But at this time, Liu Zongmin's help-like eyes made his originally calm state of mind suddenly ripple!
This Liu Ye is not a mortal!
Even though he made a mistake at this time, the rebels suffered huge losses, and more or less made all the generals have a grudge against him, but the flaws are not hidden!
If there was no Liu Ye, how could the rebels defeat Zuo Liangyu, Yang Wenyue and Ding Qirui?
King Chuang must have a rod scale in his heart!
Soon, Bull Venus made a decision.
The icing on the cake is like charcoal in the snow?
If you can befriend Liu Zongmin at this time and help him tide over this difficulty, then the choice he can have in the future will definitely not be comparable to now.
After adjusting his breathing, Niu Jinxing respectfully arched his hand and said: "King Chuang, although my righteous army suffered a slight setback in this battle, if you think about it the other way, it will be ...... Not a bad thing. ”
"Huh?"
As soon as Niu Jinxing said this, Li Zicheng suddenly looked at it, and his brows furrowed subconsciously.
The tent was also slightly agitated.
Song Xiance's old eyes narrowed suddenly, he didn't expect that Niu Jinxing would choose to stand up for Liu Zongmin at such a time!
At the end of the big tent, Li Yan's pupils also shrank.
This Niu Ye is so keen.
At this time, he already understood Niu Jinxing's entry point, but unfortunately, he was too humble and not the mainstream, Niu Jinxing could say this, but he Li Yan was not enough.
What the fuck!
Seeing that everyone was successfully attracted to attention, Niu Jinxing's confidence was also abundant, and Cheng Zhu smiled in his chest: "King Chuang, we didn't attack Xu Changqing before, mainly because we were afraid of Xu Changqing's firearms of the model army, and at the same time, we couldn't figure out Xu Changqing's foundation. And in this battle, although our righteous army suffered a slight setback, it also exposed Xu Changqing's foundation!
He is not strong in troops, but he is also a strong outsider! ”
Crash.
With this conclusion of Niu Venus thrown, there was an uproar in the tent.
Liu Zongmin's eyes also lit up.
No wonder everyone goes to study, or the reader has the ability, this kind of bloody thing can be told by him, not only is it no longer a crime, but it also has a faint appearance.
In the future, I must be close to this Mr. Niu.
Li Zicheng also touched the bottom of some bull Venus at this time, and motioned for him to continue with his eyes.
Niu Jinxing was even more confident, "King Chuang, everyone, if Xu Changqing has enough troops, after the explosion at that time, he will definitely send chasing soldiers to kill the elite of our righteous army!" However, Xu Changqing did not do this, and the defense line has been shrinking very far! This shows that Xu Changqing doesn't want to fight with my righteous army, and he doesn't dare to fight with my righteous army, he is just pretending! ”
Everyone nodded when they heard this.
They also figured it out at this point.
Xu Changqing is indeed strong, but it is far from being as strong as they imagined!
Li Zicheng also nodded and said: "Then, in the opinion of the military advisor, how should our righteous army deal with itself at this time and exterminate Xu Changqing's trouble?" ”
Niu Jinxing was like a spring breeze, and said with a faint smile: "King Chuang, this matter is also simple!" In the opinion of subordinates, one word can be solved! - Sleepy! ”
As he spoke, he explained more carefully: "Although Xu Changqing is a strong outsider, his firearms are indeed powerful, and the military formation is not comparable to other officers and soldiers. If our rebels do their best, it will not be difficult to take him down. However, in that case, the price paid will be too great, and I don't know how many good sons of the old camp will have to ride. At this time, the main force of the official army has been defeated by our righteous army, and it can be concluded that there will definitely be no more officers and troops coming to the rescue in a short time! Our righteous army can use Xu Changqing's model army as bait to besiege him, so as to encircle and send reinforcements! At that time, all the other armies of the imperial court will be destroyed and disabled, and this Xu Changqing will also run out of ammunition and food, so why be afraid? ”
Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads again and again, and they were excited and restless.
Liu Zongmin seized the opportunity and added appropriately: "King Chuang, everyone, what Niu Junshi said is extremely true. Xu Changqing, this thief, is indeed difficult to deal with. We are definitely much better at this time than late. If we meet Xu Changqing, who has a real solid foundation, in the future, it will be a disaster. In my opinion, in this battle, they must kill Xu Changqing in this Zhuxian Town! ”
After many years of tacit understanding, how well does Li Zicheng know Liu Zongmin? His eyes motioned for Liu Zongmin to continue.
Liu Zongmin saw that he was bluffing everyone, and he also regained his confidence: "King Chuang, everyone, the idea is that during this time, you can show weakness to Xu Changqing, let him relax his guard, and then make more of a fuss with Kaifeng Mansion!" Xu Changqing is here to rescue Kaifeng Mansion, if they hit Kaifeng Mansion, they won't believe it, Xu Changqing, a dog thief, can still sit still! ”
……
It was impossible for Xu Changqing to know the strategic change of the Wandering People's Army at this time.
In the big tent, Xu Changqing had already hidden his injured arm and concealed it from Chu Xue and Zuo Mengmei, otherwise, the two women would definitely be in trouble.
However, although he stabilized the danger of the back house, the situation in front of him still made Xu Changqing have to be cautious and fall into heavy thoughts.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty was basically abolished in the Central Plains, to be precise, the Central Plains had been abolished.
Except for Kaifeng City, there is actually nothing worth nostalgia for at this time.
It's no wonder that in another time and space, Huang Shu and others will flood Kaifeng and directly abolish Kaifeng City!
Because this kind of persistence, except for proving one's own foolishness, has no much meaning and cannot solve the problem.
However, even if Kaifeng City is destroyed, it is only the next policy among the next strategies.
What if Kaifeng City is destroyed?
It is no wonder that the hinterland of the Central Plains was completely abolished, and the Ming Dynasty lost its right to rule in this vast and fertile land, and the exile army also abolished it, and turned westward, or south, to cause trouble in another area.
If we can't defeat the main force of the Displaced People's Army, especially the leaders of the Displaced People's Army such as Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin, we will not be able to solve the core problem at all.
But~~, how difficult is it to defeat the main force of the Liumin Army and kill Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin and others?
It is no exaggeration to say that at this time, this is almost an impossible task!
Unless the imperial court mobilizes the main force of the Guanning Army to enter the customs and go all out to quell the rebellion!
But if that's the case, Liaoxi will be finished.
Then again.
In fact...... This road is the best road for Daming at this time, and it is also the last way to live!
Give up the Liaodi, which has no value and will only add to the burden, and make every effort to solve the internal problems.
As the principal famously said: "If you go outside, you must first settle inside!" ”
However, it's still impossible!
Emperor Chongzhen's ignorance, ignorance, and naivety had already determined that it was impossible for him to make such a correct choice to bear infamy.
I never want to take the slightest responsibility, can you expect him to be a Ming at this time?
Be specific to the immediate future.
Xu Changqing and the Model Army have in fact been dragged into the quagmire by this war.
It is impossible to save the city of Kaifeng.
With the strength of Xu Changqing and the model army, it is difficult to retreat into Kaifeng City now, but it is not impossible.
But even if you retreat to Kaifeng City, what can you do?
There is no food and grass channel, and it is still alone.
On the contrary, it will fall into the internal friction of fighting for power and profit.
But it is impossible to retreat now.
Retreat now, even if you can explain to the imperial court, after all, there have been several great victories, and many elite heads of the old battalion of the exile army have been captured, but Xu Changqing's reputation will definitely be affected.
Xu Changqing really doesn't care about this kind of false name, but the terrible thing is that the exile army will step on Xu Changqing's reputation and really set foot on the altar!
"Whew."
Thinking about it, Xu Changqing breathed a long sigh of relief, this is no longer a hard mode, this is completely hell mode!
In the current state, we can only continue to hold on!
The best option is to cause turmoil within the Exile Army!
It must be known that at this time, in the camp of the displaced people, not only Li Zicheng's subordinates, but also several of his old opponents, Cao Cao, Luo Rucai, He Yilong and others from the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo.
They had fought a lot before, dog-bit-dog.
Now that Li Zicheng is powerful, they really want to surrender to Li Zicheng and use Li Zicheng's power, but as long as the time is ripe, they will definitely continue to bite.
Human desires. There is no end to hope.
can find this entry point for contact with Luo Rucai and He Yilong, Xu Changqing's best choice now can only be the red lady.
Thinking about it, Xu Changqing didn't think about it anymore, drank a few sips of wine to disinfect, lay on the bed and closed his eyes.
Although the injury on his arm was under control at this time, the feeling of weakness had not really recovered, Xu Changqing had to take care of his spirits and talk to the red lady in detail in the evening.
However, when Xu Changqing was about to brainwash the red lady after dinner in the evening, an uninvited guest came!
"Kaifeng Governor Huang Shu?"
"He, when did he come?!"
Hearing the report of the soldiers, Xu Changqing frowned suddenly, he really didn't expect this master to come over at this time!
The soldiers hurriedly said respectfully: "Marshal, just now, they were also injured and were ambushed by the exile army. According to them, the patrol of the Wandering People's Army on the Eastern Front seems to have been strengthened a lot. ”
This pro-soldier is a general, a native of Guangning, Liaodong, because his family was poor when he was a child, and no one in the family was literate, so he took his name according to the order, called Li Qilang.
Although Li Qilang didn't know a few words, he was extremely clever, and Zhao Zengjin recommended him to Xu Changqing because he had to do more things, and Xu Changqing used it very well these days.
This guy has become a rising star in the model army.
Hearing Li Qilang's report, Xu Changqing's brows couldn't help frowning even tighter.
Although the Wandering People's Army had previously blockaded the Eastern Front Model Army and Kaifeng City, it was not too tight, and the two sides maintained a fairly close relationship.
But at this time, they suddenly increased the blockade, which is not a good sign!
It's almost clear to Xu Changqing that their next step is to make a move on Kaifeng City!
After thinking for a while, Xu Changqing said, "Let's clear this Lord Huang." Remember, be courteous! ”
"Yes!"
Watching the soldiers leave, Xu Changqing couldn't help but let out a long breath of turbidity.
What is Huang Shu, a big traitor, doing at this time?
Could it be that this guy is ready to dig up the mouth of the Yellow River and flood Kaifeng?
