Because of the deliberate restraint of the Wandering Army, many of the advantages of the situation at this time were towards the Ming Army, and this was Xu Changqing doing the east, and the atmosphere of the banquet was still very pleasant.

After the banquet, the other generals dispersed, and in the wide tent, only Xu Changqing, Zuo Liangyu and Yang Wenyue were left.

Xu Changqing picked up his wine glass and smiled and gestured to Zuo Liangyu and the others: "Zuo Shuai, Lord Yang, the current situation, the two of you must already know, it is still very beneficial to us." The thieves seem to be powerful, but they have been attacking Kaifeng without restraint. I have been in contact with Kaifeng City, and their grain and grass can last for more than two months. On the other hand, the thieves have plundered all the way, with a large population but no supplies, and their pressure is far greater than ours! ”

Zuo Liangyu and Yang Wenyue glanced at each other, neither of them spoke, and turned to look at Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing smiled: "In front of the two of you, Changqing can only be regarded as a junior, and there are some words that Changqing should not say." However, we have all come to the Kaifeng battlefield now, and we can be regarded as people on the same boat. Therefore, Changqing hopes that in this battle, we and other departments can unanimously communicate with the outside world, can let go of some entanglements, and take down the general trend first! ”

As soon as Xu Changqing said this, Zuo Liangyu and Yang Wenyue's faces changed.

It's not the first time that the two have worked together, so naturally they both know what kind of urine sex each other is, which was originally a tacit secret, however, neither of them expected that Xu Changqing would actually put this matter on the bright side at this time, and it was obviously full of unkindness.

Zuo Liangyu suddenly smiled at this time: "Uncle Zhongyi's words are extremely kind. We are all courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, sharing worries for the country, and being loyal to the country, all of which are our duties. In this battle, someone on my left will definitely do his best! ”

Yang Wenyue was slightly stunned for a while, he couldn't figure out what Xu Changqing and Zuo Liangyu meant, smiled, but he didn't hurry to say anything.

Xu Changqing smiled: "Lord Yang, Changqing accidentally learned that there was a slight misunderstanding between Lord Yang and Zuo Shuai, I don't know, can Lord Yang give Changqing a thin face, and give up some details for the time being?" ”

Seeing Yang Wenyue's color change, Xu Changqing smiled unhurriedly: "If this battle is won, Changqing can guarantee that Lord Yang will not be less than a thousand level thieves and old battalion soldiers!" ”

Yang Wenyue's pupils suddenly shrank.

The head of the old battalion of a thousand-level thief, although it is not a big achievement, but it is by no means a small achievement, if it is really as Xu Changqing said, then it may be difficult for him to enter the cabinet temporarily, but he will definitely be able to rank high.

It must be known that at this time, there are very few Wenchen who really know the soldiers and can lead the soldiers.

If he, Yang Wenyue, can get a piece of the pie in this battle, he will undoubtedly be a golden body!

After a while, Yang Wenyue looked into Xu Changqing's eyes: "Uncle Zhongyi, I don't know, how can this official trust you?" ”

Xu Changqing laughed: "Lord Yang, don't worry, in this battle, the main line of defense is undertaken by my model army and Zuo Shuai, Lord Yang only needs to go to the Western Front to undertake part of the auxiliary defense tasks, only defend and not attack, I don't know what Lord Yang thinks?" ”

Yang Wenyue was still a little hesitant, and for a while he couldn't understand why Xu Changqing would put such a good thing on his head, but he still didn't let go.

Xu Changqing was still not in the slightest hurry, and continued: "Lord Yang, Zuo Shuai, no matter what you two think, I, Xu Changqing, hope that Daming can prosper. And, willing to give everything for it! Therefore, if you are not a fellow by Xu's side, you are Xu's enemy! ”

……

Returning to his temporary tent by the dock, Zuo Liangyu's back was still faintly cold.

He had long known that Xu Changqing had come all the way to the present in a humble state, and it was definitely not a good stubble, but he didn't expect that Xu Changqing would dare to be so tyrannical, and even more so bold!

He seems to be really beating Yang Wenyue, why didn't he mean to beat himself?

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zuo Liangyu wouldn't have believed it at all, this was the work of a young man who was not yet a weak crown......

He wasn't afraid of Xu Changqing.

Although Xu Changqing was famous at this time, Zuo Liangyu knew very well that Xu Changqing's foundation was too thin to pose a threat to him at all.

However, Xu Changqing's courage to carry a thousand catties of heavy burden on his body, he Zuo Liangyu thought that he would never be able to do it.

Moreover, Xu Changqing's measurement really shocked Zuo Liangyu.

Promise Zuo Liangyu with his life that if he wins this battle, the first credit will definitely be his Zuo family.

"It seems that Mengmei's move is not wrong."

After a while, Zuo Liangyu suddenly smiled and muttered.

At this time, Zuo Mengmei walked in with a bowl of sobering soup and smiling, "Father, drink some sobering soup." ”

As he spoke, he carefully blew the decanting soup, tasted the temperature, and saw that it was just right, so he handed it to Zuo Liangyu.

Rao is Zuo Liangyu's heart is as strong as iron, and he couldn't help but calm down at this time, and said with a smile: "Mengmei, these days, how are you doing?" That Xu, that Zhongyi didn't bully you, right? ”

Zuo Mengmei's face flushed, and Ying Ying smiled: "No, father, he, he is very good to me." ”

As he spoke, he obediently helped Zuo Liangyu press his shoulder.

Zuo Liangyu drank the sobering soup and sighed: "Good girl, don't worry, Dad won't let you be wronged!" Also, if Uncle Zhongyi bullies you, you must tell your father! ”

……

As the main forces of Zuo Liangyu and Yang Wenyue arrived in Zhuxian Town in turn, they began to gradually build up their camps, and the Ming army's defense line in Zhuxian Town was also filled with the backbone and gradually began to stabilize.

But Xu Changqing knew very well that even if he spent means to temporarily stabilize Zuo Liangyu and Yang Wenyue, it was only just the beginning.

The main force of the Ming army seems to have a lot of people, but the defensive structure may be barely maintained, and it is almost impossible to attack.

Because whether it is Zuo Liangyu, Yang Wenyue, or Xu Changqing, it is difficult to take the initiative to attack the main force of the Wandering Army.

But the matter has come to this, and Xu Changqing can only desperately maintain it.

Although the dilapidated house of Daming is about to fall, it can finally shelter from the wind and rain, and once this dilapidated house really falls, you can't even find a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

June 27.

Ding Qirui finally arrived near the war zone.

However, the Wandering People's Army had basically achieved its strategic goal at this time, and it was not so friendly to Ding Qirui's troops.

On that day, Hu Dawei's vanguard had just arrived more than ten miles west of Zhuxian Town, when he was attacked by Hao Shaoqi's troops of the Wandering People's Army.

Fortunately, Hu Dawei still has some foundation, and after suffering hundreds of casualties, he repelled the offensive of the exile army.

But since then, the nightmare of Ding Qirui's subordinates has also begun.

In the next few days, as their main force got closer and closer to the war zone, the harassment and offensive of the Wandering People's Army came in waves, like flies, and they had no choice but to ask for help from Xu Changqing in Zhuxian Town.

After receiving the news, Xu Changqing and Yang Wenyue quickly rushed to the big tent of Zuo Liangyu's department in Zhuxian Town to discuss matters.

The three of them reached an agreement at this time, and they were implicated in a line of interests.

In the big tent, Zuo Liangyu sat on the tiger skin throne of the main seat.

Xu Changqing sat on the left.

Yang Wenyue, who was born in Wenchen, could only be on the right at this time.

There's no way around it.

Zuo Liangyu is the largest military leader at this time, with more than 100,000 people under his command, Xu Changqing is a loyal and righteous uncle, and his prestige shocks the world, and he Yang Wenyue only has a few thousand soldiers who can fight at this time, even if he is unhappy, he has to pinch his nose and endure it.

"Uncle, Lord Yang, what do you two think of this matter?"

Zuo Liangyu frowned a little and looked at Xu Changqing and Yang Wenyue.

At this time, how could he not know the intentions of the Wandering People's Army? This is the exile army deliberately provoking internal contradictions in the Ming army.

He actually regretted it a little now, a little too aggressive, and had a very unsafe feeling, he shouldn't have been so deeply involved with Xu Changqing, a madman.

But by this time it was already on board, and it was too late to say anything.

Yang Wenyue will definitely not say much at this time.

His troops are on the Western Front, and if they want to go to the rescue, it will definitely be his troops, how can he shoot himself in the foot?

If Xu Changqing and Zuo Liangyu really want to let him go, then it will be the time to tear his face.

Xu Changqing thought for a while and said: "The rescue must be saved, but it is not necessary to send troops. In the evergreen view, the Northwest Army can be allowed to set up camp and defend first. ”

Zuo Liangyu narrowed his eyes.

Yang Wenyue also frowned a little, not quite understanding what Xu Changqing meant.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Xu Changqing smiled: "Zuo Shuai, Lord Yang, you two don't need to send the main force, the three of us just need to send the night to try our best to coordinate the war on the Western Front." The Wandering People's Army seemed to be powerful at this time, but in fact, there were many hungry people, and they did not go to the core of the old camp. They didn't want to stop the Northwest Army on the Western Front, no wonder they wanted to harass and seduce us and make us tired. At this time, we must hold on! The Wanderers are much more anxious than we are! ”

Zuo Liangyu and Yang Wenyue both nodded.

After a moment, Zuo Liangyu smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then let's do it." However, you have to worry about this matter, uncle, you will explain it to Ding Du in person, otherwise, it will not be good if there is any misunderstanding. ”

Xu Changqing nodded: "Of course, this matter will be explained to Ding Du as much as possible." ”

……

Xu Changqing's handwritten letter was quickly delivered to Ding Qirui's big tent.

But after Ding Qirui read it, he asked the staff to read it out directly in the big tent, and Hu Dawei slapped the table on the spot after hearing it.

"Governor, it's too much of a bully, it's too much of a bully! If you don't collect it for a few nights, can you kill and repel hundreds of thousands of thieves? This Xu Changqing, what kind of righteousness is Bo Yuntian, I think he is just a despicable villain! The little abacus is better than anyone else! ”

Deputy General Gao Jie also frowned and said, "Governor, this is treating our Qin army as an outsider." It's like this before it starts, how will this battle be fought next? ”

"Yes, Governor, that's a bully."

The generals in the tent immediately mended their knives one after another.

Ding Qirui's brows furrowed, and his fingers kept changing.

Before, he had a good feeling for Xu Changqing, during this time, Xu Changqing didn't collect at night, and he had been helping them collect information, so that they avoided a lot of losses.

But at this time, Xu Changqing actually asked them to set up camp and push them to Zhuxian Town, what did they want to do? Does it drain their physical strength in vain?

Especially this kind of 'contempt' made Ding Qirui extremely uncomfortable.

You must know that he is the commander-in-chief of this battle, but now Xu Changqing is actually pointing fingers at him, the commander-in-chief?

Do you really think that if you make a lord, you will be lawless?

This also made Ding Qirui really unbearable, and directly asked the staff to read Xu Changqing's letter.

It's just that there are a lot of changes.

Xu Changqing's letter to Ding Qirui was extremely sincere, asking Ding Qirui to focus on the overall situation, build more fortifications, and strive to stabilize the position first, gradually push it over, and converge with the main force.

But how could Xu Changqing have thought that the arrogant Ding Qirui would openly alter the content of his letter and openly set up confrontational emotions.

"Forget it. Zhongyibo's move may also have his helplessness. After all, in Zhu Xianzhen, it is not Zhongyi who is in charge. Since we can't count on others, we can only count on ourselves! Ladies and gentlemen, from now on, let's start camping! Use the camp to secure your defenses and make sure the food and grass come first! ”

"Governor, this ......"

"Governor, when have we been bullied like this?"

"Governor, disobey your duties!"

Although Ding Qirui pretended to be sad on his face, he was very happy in his heart, Zhu Xianzhen didn't come to the rescue, he just took this opportunity to preserve his strength.

He actually agreed with Xu Changqing's plan in his heart, but the core was the opposite.

When the time comes, when the Liumin Army and Zhu Xianzhen kill each other, and then he leads his troops to attack, then, can this great achievement be someone else's?

"That's it! Don't complain! It's all for the Son of Heaven and the court, so let's start acting immediately. ”

"Yes!"

Although the generals are helpless, they can only accept it.
