Luo Rucai is in his early forties this year, slightly chubby, with long eyebrows and kind eyes, and there is no murderous aura on his body, but he looks like a rich fat man.

He Yilong is also about the same age, but he is tall and strong, with an angular face and a rather cold eyes.

The two of them are also accompanied by more than a dozen generals from various ministries, all of whom have been powerful figures for more than ten years.

Liu Zongmin and the others ignored them, they didn't go up to make up, and they didn't laugh much inside, they were quite solemn.

Li Yan really hadn't paid much attention to these details before, but after reading them carefully at this time, he couldn't help but be a little scared.

Xu Changqing's method is outrageous!

After secretly observing for a while, the keen Luo Rucai noticed Li Yan's gaze, smiled, and cast a kind look at Li Yan.

Li Yan was a little weak for a while, smiled busily, nodded to Luo Rucai, and hurriedly shifted his gaze.

Luo Rucai smiled, and tacitly shifted his gaze, and did not put any more pressure on Li Yan.

Not long after, Li Zicheng arrived, and everyone came to the big tent one after another to officially start the discussion.

The theme of today's deliberation is Kaifeng City.

Liu Zongmin took the lead in proposing to try to feint Kaifeng Nancheng, but instead excavated tunnels in the flat Xicheng and Beicheng areas.

Use this virtual and real method to open the gap in breaking through the Kaifeng City.

As soon as Liu Zongmin said this, the tent began to talk about it one after another.

Digging tunnels is a very common means of attacking the city at this time, and the defenders will basically have a defense against it, and it is not difficult to defend.

For example, if you turn the vat upside down and bury it in the earth, you can send someone to listen to it at all times, and if someone is digging a tunnel outside the city, it will be easy for someone with a sharp ear to hear it.

As early as May, the exile army tried to use this trick against Kaifeng City, however, it was unsuccessful.

However, at this time, Liu Zongmin has perfected this plan, whether it is true or false, false and real.

Li Yan also had to admire for a while, Liu Zongmin really has a very high talent in strategy!

Even if the plan to dig the tunnel is still aborted, the psychological pressure on Kaifeng City is undoubted.

At that time, if you prepare to attack again, you may really be able to conquer the city in one fell swoop!

Soon, Li Zicheng nodded and agreed to this plan and began to assign tasks.

Luo Rucai and He Yilong were sent to Beicheng, Liu Fangliang, Tian Jianxiu and Gao Yigong were sent to Xicheng, and Liu Zongmin was personally in charge of Nancheng.

Although the topography of Kaifeng Nancheng is average, and there are many abandoned fortifications left because of the previous attacks, but looking at this appearance, Liu Zongmin obviously has a more sophisticated strategy.

Not surprisingly, Li Yan still failed to get a job.

His task is to monitor Xu Changqing on the southern front and do this most thankless job.

Li Yan thought that with today's tacit understanding, maybe he could find an opportunity to communicate with Luo Rucai and He Yilong, but now it is impossible.

The distance between the two sides is dozens of miles, and I am afraid that the next meeting can only be at Li Zicheng's big tent military meeting, how can there be another opportunity for communication?

However, Luo Rucai seemed to have discovered Li Yan's thoughts, and once again cast a kind look at Li Yan.

Li Yan understood that Luo Rucai wanted to win him over.

After thinking for a while, Li Yan did not refuse, and also cast a kind look at Luo Rucai.

Leaving the Chinese army, although the harvest was not big, it was a little frustrating, but soon, Li Yan quickly found the core point!

He found the location of the core of the Wandering People's Army at this time!

Just a few miles west of Li Zicheng's Chinese army camp!

This made Li Yan excited all of a sudden, but soon quieted down again.

Li Zicheng controlled the various departments through the control of grain and grass, and at this time, the grain and grass of the Wandering Army was not only located in the core of the Chinese army, but also had several elite defenses around

, there are four or five thousand old battalion soldiers alone, plus the homeless cannon fodder, at least tens of thousands.

How should Xu Changqing fight?

It's not realistic......

……

That night, near the time of the child.

Xu Changqing received a handwritten letter from Li Yan.

He detailed some of the core circumstances that he had discovered and felt today, and expressed his views and concerns.

The red lady also understood Xu Changqing's core intention at this time, and she was a little indignant, but she was relieved a lot.

Although the guy in front of him deceived her, he was really thinking about the people.

Xu Changqing looked at the red lady's delicate but cold face, and couldn't help but smile: "General Hong, I don't want to deliberately hide this matter, but you know, if you don't keep it secret, you will lose your minister, and if you don't keep it secret, you will lose your body." ”

The red lady glanced at Xu Changqing: "You, what are you going to do?" They have already begun to prepare to attack Kaifeng City. If Liu Zongmin is really ruthless, according to the strength of Kaifeng City, he will not be able to stop it at all. ”

Xu Changqing nodded.

The real strength of the Wanderer Army lies not in their numbers, but in their ability to learn.

At this time, whether it is Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, Liu Fangliang, Tian Jianxiu and others, they are all at their peak!

It's not surprising that they were able to develop new tactics because of their own combat experience.

Moreover, Li Yan has lost the opportunity for Luo Rucai, He Yilong and others to communicate, and the chess pieces that affect their internal stability are not easy to arrange.

This time, even with the water of the Yellow River as a lure, it is difficult to attract much energy to them.

If you want to complete the plan, you still have to attack!

Fortunately, Li Yan's addition allowed Xu Changqing to get the fortifications and troop allocation from Li Yan's department to the core grain and grass of the Wandering People's Army.

This will undoubtedly save Xu Changqing a lot of effort.

Seeing that Xu Changqing didn't speak, the red lady was a little speechless, but after a while, she still couldn't help but say: "Hey, according to the current situation, Kaifeng City may not last a few days." If Kaifeng City is lost, then everything is over. Otherwise, let's do it in advance! My people can help you fight the vanguard! ”

Xu Changqing glanced at the red lady in a little surprise.

This girl's words at this time are a bit weighty, and she almost clearly says that she is willing to be cannon fodder.

But for a moment, Xu Changqing shook his head with a smile: "No, I can solve this matter." ”

Seeing that the red lady's face had changed, Xu Changqing hurriedly smiled and said: "Over the years, the world has been chaotic enough, and people are the most precious." Don't worry, you and I have other important uses, and the merit is no worse than a strong attack. ”

The red lady relaxed a little, but she still threw Xu Changqing a hygienic eye, which means 'count you as acquaintances'.

This made Xu Changqing a little speechless.

Unconsciously, the relationship between the two is a bit ......

Later, Li Yan ......

……

As things continued to ferment, Xu Changqing's plan began to become more and more perfect, and the sons and daughters began to step up preparations for the night attack.

But at this time, the time is not ripe enough, Xu Changqing still needs to endure for a few more days, and he must wait for Li Zongmin and them to bite Kaifeng City to death and really bite the hook.

Different from the temporary calm of the Central Plains battlefield, at this time, there was already a lot of noise at the court meeting in Beijing.

The fiasco of the main force of the Ming army in the Battle of the Central Plains has been rumored for several days, but unfortunately, the imperial court has not been able to figure it out.

There's really no way around it.

Zuo Liangyu was defeated at this time and retreated to Xiangyang, Ding Qirui had already fled to Shaanxi, and he couldn't count on it.

Not to mention Yang Wenyue, his manpower is not enough to stuff the teeth of the wandering army, not to mention that he has already fled to Zhangde Mansion.

Although Xu Changqing's model army is still sticking to Zhuxian Town, the imperial court can't contact him at all, and he doesn't know whether it is good or bad.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The only ones that can be counted on are Sun Chuanting's department and the elite of Jiubian, who withdrew very early, but Sun Chuanting seems to be in trouble as well.

Chen Xinjia was really anxious at this time.

He has high hopes for this battle of the Central Plains, the imperial court has almost taken out all the elites that can be taken out, and Xu Changqing is going to help, no matter what he thinks, Chen Xinjia did not expect to lose this battle.

However, something has happened, and he, as a soldier, can't escape it at all, so he can only take this responsibility.

Seeing that there was still a lot of hype in the hall, Chen Xinjia also let go, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, why don't you mobilize the elite support of the nine sides!" Although the elite of Liaoxi cannot be moved, the Dingbei Bo of Datong and the Yutian Bo of Yutian are all elites of a hundred battles, and they can be mobilized to join the Central Plains battlefield together with Sun Chuanting's department! At this time, although he can't contact Zhongyibo, but the minister has confidence in Zhongyibo, he will be fine! ”

As soon as Chen Xinjia's words came out, the palace was in an uproar.

In fact, the bigwigs have long wanted to mobilize the elite of the nine sides to quell the chaos, but they lack this incision, and the most critical question at this time is what is the state of Xu Changqing's department!

If Xu Changqing's department had been wiped out by the Wandering Army at this time, then even if the other elites of the Nine Sides had lost the support of the main force of the Ming army, it would still be a bit more auspicious.

But at this time, Chen Xinjia actually took this responsibility down, and the bigwigs also let go.

Chen Yan, the old fox, immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Chen's words are extremely good, and the current situation is only the elite of Beibo and Yutianbo." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal."

"Seconded."

The crowd came forward.

Emperor Chongzhen frowned and looked at Shoufu Zhou Yanru.

Zhou Yanru saw that things had come to this, and he couldn't stop it anymore, anyway, Chen Xinjia was behind the pot, so he also nodded and said: "Your Majesty, so far, it can only be like this." However, the old minister's intention is to mobilize other generals from Shandong and Shanxi who still have combat strength to rescue again and prevent the formation of a lone army. ”

When Emperor Chongzhen saw that this was already the case, he was no longer entangled, and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!" That's it! Wang Companion, give an order! ”

"Yes!"

……

"Newspaper—"

"Thieves have been found digging tunnels in the north of the city, at least dozens of them!"

"Newspaper—"

"In the south of the city, thieves were found digging tunnels, no less than thirty!"

"Newspaper—"

In the evening, the order of the imperial court had not yet reached Wang Pu and Cao Bianjiao, and Kaifeng City was no longer alive.

From the beginning of the day, there were urgent reports from all directions.

Fortunately, Gao Mingheng and Chen Yongfu have a lot of experience in defending the city, and they have already taken precautions against this, otherwise, the tunnel of the thieves would have to be dug into the city an hour ago.

But Rao is on guard, but Kaifeng City has limited manpower and is in a mess.

The key exile army was too cunning and only picked up the night, which made the already tired Kaifeng defenders even more uncomfortable.

Zhu Gongyu, the king of Zhou, had already fallen asleep, but he was anxiously called up from the bed, so he could only come to the city in person to participate in the defense of the city.

But it was like a dog being slipped back and forth.

Either there is a crisis here or there, and in a short time I am out of breath and sweating profusely.

Huang Shu was also a little panicked at this time.

He quickly guessed the intentions of the Wandering Army, but he was helpless and couldn't stop the Wandering Army.

In such a state, before he completes the layout of excavating the Yellow River, Kaifeng City is afraid that it will be conquered by thieves.

How else to play?

After one night, from Zhu Gongfang, the king of Zhou, to the people who worked for a day and received a day's salary, they were all tired and prostration.

But the exile army has blocked Kaifeng City more strictly, and their news has been unable to get out, so they can only stay up and pray for God's protection.
