The more Prince Daizen worries about something, the more something will happen.

The Ming cavalry from afar swaggered, buried a stove for cooking a few miles outside Qingxi City, whipped the captured Qing soldiers, and wantonly insulted, so that the Qing people at the head of the city felt the same way, and the anger on their faces continued, but they couldn't do anything and so on.

After noon, the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty after lunch mounted their horses in unison, and after a circle around the periphery of Qingxi City, they galloped towards the north.

By the time the base camp received the news of Wu Chao's death, it was already more than half a month later, and when Li Tianyang received this urgent secret letter, he immediately felt that it should be fake, with the strength of Wu Chao's 20,000 troops, even if they could not defeat the Qing army, there was no problem in self-preservation.

"What a bastard!"

The more carefully he looked down at the battle report and learned about the before and after Wu Chao and their almost total annihilation, the more embarrassed Li Tianyang became, and at the same time, a deep self-blame filled his heart.

Li Tianyang knew that the reason why Wu Chao still decided to have a head-to-head confrontation with the Qing people when he knew that his strength was relatively weak, was not only to trust the strength of the soldiers under his command, but also to help Li Tianyang open up the situation as soon as possible, so that the base camp could completely agree with Li Tianyang's plan.

As a front-line commander who has been in the army, Wu Chao has not gradually become conservative and stable because of his age, and the vast world west of Nanyang has shown his face in front of Wu Chao, and the tragic status quo of the African natives makes Wu Chao sadistic, and at the same time worried about the future of the Chinese people.

Li Tianyang's layout over the years, and a series of completely different systems under the Hongmen power, also made Wu Chao see a bright future. With the broadening of horizons and the precipitation of knowledge and experience, the more they began to understand the defects of the feudal system, the conflict of interests between classes, etc., the more Wu Chao and a large group of Hongmen disciples were convinced that only Li Tianyang could lead them out of a different path and create a beautiful and expectant future for their descendants.

Wu Chao is actually two years younger than Li Tianyang, but the more people reach middle age, the more they will realize the preciousness of time, the so-called mid-life crisis, so that they began to work hard again and again to help Li Tianyang to promote the Hongmen system that they think is excellent to a larger place, even if the price of doing so is to pay for their lives, Wu Chao and they will not hesitate.

Wu Chao already faintly felt that his body was going downhill, and the peak of physical strength for adults in this era was around the age of thirty. In order to make some contributions to Hongmen when he can still have a strength, Wu Chao sincerely hopes that Hongmen can change their Taoguang cultivation style and reveal their hideous and ferocious side.

Now that Li Tianyang suddenly proposed a plan to go north to attack the territory of the Qing Dynasty, Wu Chao can be said to have raised his hands in favor, and even for this expedition, he was busy working up and down for a long time before he got the opportunity to go north and other opportunities.

He very much disagrees with the so-called stable faction within Hongmen, knowing that the main force of the Qing Dynasty has all the big opportunities to go south, they even want to drag Hongmen back, and they say that they want to be safe, but in fact, they are burying a good opportunity in front of them.

Therefore, when Li Tianyang finally persuaded the middle and high-level of Hongmen to agree to Hongtang's group to go north to test the reality of the Qing Dynasty, Wu Chao had already made up his mind in his heart to win more bargaining chips for Li Tianyang to persuade those stable factions in Hongmen.

Wu Jie, the commander-in-chief of Hongtang's northward journey, took the lead in winning the most arduous task of resisting the main force of the Qing Dynasty in the north, but Wu Chao only managed to invade the Qing Dynasty with an army of 20,000 troops, and did his best to destroy and plunder the tribal villages in the Qing Dynasty and weaken its national heritage.

Of course, the significance of this is not small, but if it can really be implemented perfectly, in the long run, the damage to the heritage of the Qing Dynasty will not be restored in one or two decades. But in Wu Chao's view, when the Qing people have knocked on the door of the Ming Dynasty and other countries, the northern land of the Ming Dynasty, which seems to be a no-man's land, is already the back garden of the Qing Dynasty, with the large population of the Ming Dynasty, even if the soldiers of Hongtang and Dongjiang Town are strong enough, they can no longer stop the Qing Dynasty from becoming strong.

Only when the domestic forces of the Great Qing Dynasty are empty, it is best to fight to the death with the Qing people, and it is best to completely defeat the support army of Prince Good of the Great Qing Dynasty on the spot, then the army commander Wu Jie and their two lines of defense stationed in the north are enough for Wu Chao and their Hongtang army to go deep into the Qing Dynasty, and win enough time, maybe Wu Chao and his two partial divisions that go deep into the border of the Great Qing Dynasty will sweep away the tribal foundation of the Great Qing Dynasty without too many constraints.

Of course, these can only be said to be the most optimistic ideas and prospects, Wu Chao's greater purpose in deciding to fight with Prince Good of the Qing Dynasty is to hope that through this battle, Hongmen can see the emptiness of the Qing Dynasty, and then agree to the most crazy decision of the master Li Tianyang.

Although his attempt this time ended in failure, the arrival of An Xianguo's cavalry division completed Wu Chao's desired goal at the last moment.

With only a partial division of 20,000 people, the seemingly powerful Qing Dynasty's stubborn forces can be forced to this realm, and the addition of the Hongtang cavalry division has completely rid the Qing army, so who else dares to question the fact that the Qing Dynasty is empty, and who dares to doubt that the Hongmen army cannot gain a foothold in the empty Qing Dynasty?

And in this belated good news, it was Wu Chao and his 20,000 soldiers who exchanged their sacrifices, Li Tianyang thought about it for a while, and he already understood Wu Chao's good intentions.

scolded Wu Chao for not knowing how to cherish life, and consumed the strength of the Hongtang army in vain, but in his heart, Li Tianyang was proud and proud to have such a group of like-minded followers and partners.

"Commander Wu, where are their corpses?"

Li Tianyang had mixed feelings in his heart, but he didn't forget to continue to ask Wu Chao about their remains.

"They are being brought back by Battalion Commander Wu Fen."

"Tell the Ministry of Civil Affairs that I will bury this group of warriors with the highest etiquette!"

"Yes!"

"Discuss with the drama club and come out with a drama related to this battle, so that everyone can understand Wu Chao's sacrifice and always remember their existence."

"Yes!"

Although people have passed away, their spirit needs to be inherited, and at the same time, someone must understand what their sacrifice is for.
