"I've seen my uncle, my uncle's grandfather and Marquis Wandai."

"Uncle, I kowtow to you for the fathers and villagers of Kaifeng City."

"Uncle......

Not long after, Liu Ye and the others were brought to Xu Changqing, like brainless fans seeing idols, and they couldn't help themselves with excitement one by one, and kowtowed desperately.

Zhao Zengjin: They have been examined several times and their identities have been determined.

Xu Changqing also further confirmed their identities through their temperament movements at this time, stepped forward with a smile, and helped them up one by one.

This suddenly made Liu Ye and the others even more excited, and they didn't know where to put their hands and feet.

After a few gossips with them, Xu Changqing did not let them report to work immediately, but let them rest for a while and let the firefighters cook some food for them.

This made several people's tears of excitement flow, but they couldn't repay Xu Changqing, so they could only kowtow to Xu Changqing desperately.

Their life-saving work has always been the dogs of adults, and when they are recruited, they come and go away, how can they ever be regarded as human beings?

But at this time, the well-known Zhongyi Uncle, who had just won a great victory over the Wandering People's Army here, actually treated them so courteously, and treated them like brothers......

Several people were almost eating while crying, and their eyes looking at Xu Changqing were full of respect and admiration.

At this time, I am afraid that even if they are allowed to go directly to the battlefield to die, they will not hesitate.

This also made the chests of the surrounding soldiers stand taller and taller, and their ability to serve under Xu Changqing is really a blessing given to them by God.

After Liu Ye and the others had eaten and drunk enough, and rested for a while, Xu Changqing chatted with them about business.

Liu Ye's name is Liu Chunying, he is a veteran of the Central Plains Army, he is already thirty and three this year, and he is very familiar with the war situation in the Central Plains, so he is busy introducing it carefully for Xu Changqing.

At this time, Kaifeng City still has more than 10,000 troops, but the real veteran soldiers are less than one-third, and the food and grass are even more stretched.

Fortunately, Zhu Gongfang, the king of Zhou, is righteous and has been contributing money and people, and he can barely maintain it, but even so, they can last for three months at most.

As he spoke, Liu Chunying's tears surged out again: "Uncle, thank you for coming to rescue Kaifeng, I kowtow to you!" ”

Xu Changqing nodded heavily, but this time he didn't help Liu Chunying up, he always had to let him have a channel to vent.

Since the end of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, all kinds of wars have been declining, and internal decay is indeed the core reason, but specific to the military level, the lack of attention to intelligence, or the compression of the night system, is also an extremely important reason.

Whether it was Salhu, or later Fushun and Kaiyuan, including Shenyang, Liaoyang, and Guangning, it was all poor intelligence, which made the main general make a wrong judgment, which led to collapse again and again, and began to collapse across the board.

Beginning to face the Qing army, your intelligence system is just no more than others, so forget it, but in the face of the exile army, the intelligence is still not smooth, which makes people unbearable!

Fortunately, the situation at this time is much better than that of Liaodong.

After all, this is the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the Wandering People's Army has not really risen up at this time, and has not been established as orthodox, and the Ming Dynasty still has a strong appeal in this land.

Moreover, several lords of Kaifeng City, whether they are Zhu Gongqiao, the king of Zhou, or Gao Mingheng, Chen Yongfu, Huang Shu and others, are all ruthless people, and the safety of Kaifeng City is still under control.

Three months is enough for Xu Changqing to do a lot of things.

"Brother Liu, the imperial court has sent an army of 400,000 on five routes, which is converging towards Zhuxian Town on the whole line to encircle and suppress the main force of the thieves. You go back and tell His Royal Highness King Zhou and the people in the city that the thieves are grasshoppers after the autumn, and they can't hold out for a few days! ”

Only then did Xu Changqing pull Liu Chunying up with a smile, patted him on the shoulder cordially, and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, you wait a while, I will write a letter to King Zhou and them." Also, I'll tell you about it again! Remember, the imperial army is already about to drive over, if you don't have an exact grasp to ensure smooth communication, never trust others, can't open the gate of Kaifeng! Do you understand? ”

"This ...... Uncle, what do you mean ......"

After all, Liu Chunying didn't accept it all night, and soon understood what Xu Changqing meant, and looked at Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing nodded, and said with a long sigh: "The thieves have been rising for several years, it is not Wuxia Ameng!" We have to prepare for the worst! ”

Liu Chunying soon came back to his senses, and kowtowed to Xu Changqing desperately: "Uncle, don't worry, even if you die, you will definitely pass the information to Kaifeng City!" ”

Xu Changqing looked at him solemnly: "Brother Liu, Ben Shuai doesn't want you to die, Ben Shuai wants you to live well!" The body is skinned, and the parents who receive it, dare to die easily? Ben Shuai hopes that when the siege of Kaifeng is resolved, Ben Shuai will arrive in Kaifeng City, and you can invite Ben Shuai to have a drink! ”

"Uncle......

Liu Chunying choked with tears in an instant, and was busy kowtowing desperately: "Uncle, don't worry, you will definitely live well!" You must be invited to drink in Kaifeng City! ”

Xu Changqing laughed and helped Liu Chunying up: "Remember, Brother Liu, you owe Ben Shuai a drink!" ”

"Hmm!"

……

Liu Chunying and the others left quickly, and in order to ensure their safety, Xu Changqing ordered Wu Sanfu to send dozens of good men to escort them.

Seeing their figures disappear from view all the way to the east, Xu Changqing also breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, although he had already gained a firm foothold in Zhuxian Town, Xu Changqing still had a more pessimistic attitude towards the Ming army's battle in Zhuxian Town......

None of them.

With Songjin's experience, Xu Changqing understands very well how difficult it is to coordinate the interests of various local factions!

It's difficult for even Hong Chengchou to do, do you have to count on nerds like Hou Sui and Ding Qirui?

Moreover, there was no news after Hou Sui was in Baoding, whether he would come to Zhuxian Town and personally command the battle was two words.

In this state, Xu Changqing can't help but plan in advance, and arrange his own back road first.

Plainly.

At this time, the main force of the Ming army has little to do with Xu Changqing, as long as it is guaranteed that Kaifeng City is worry-free and that his own battle array is worry-free, Xu Changqing is already invincible!

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Xu Changqing will definitely try his best to fight for the things that can be fought for, but if he really can't fight for it, then it's no wonder that Xu Changqing can only protect himself.

The reason why he is so showy to Liu Chunying and others, Xu Changqing is definitely not untargeted!

Now that he has come to the Central Plains, Xu Changqing will definitely expand his influence here, even if he can't change the upper structure, but Xu Changqing is confident that he will make his reputation higher in the lower structure!

Stretching his waist and moving his muscles and bones, Xu Changqing just wanted to go to Chuxue and ask her to make herself a cup of tea, and massage it to soothe her mind by the way.

At this time, Zhao Zengjin, Xu Xiu and others rushed over excitedly with the officials of various departments, "Marshal, our results have been counted." ”

"Oh? Take it. ”

Xu Changqing was also a little curious about the results of this battle, especially the casualties on his side.

The various departments hurriedly handed the list of results to Xu Changqing's side, including those of their various departments and the general list of summaries.

Xu Changqing looked at it for a while, his brows furrowed slightly.

Everyone's nerves suddenly tensed.

But soon, Xu Changqing's brows were relaxed, and everyone was a little relieved at this time.

In this battle, the model army can be described as a complete victory!

The corpses of the homeless cannon fodder alone were more than 4,200 bodies, and the elite of the old battalion of the homeless army also had more than 500 bodies, while the casualties on their own side were only more than 300, and more than 50 were bombing accidents.

Less than thirty people actually died in battle.

This kind of harvest is reported to the imperial court, which can definitely be said to be a great victory, and the real casualties caused by the model army to the exile army will only be more than this figure on paper.

Because the corpses of more than 500 elite members of the old battalion were collected, the results of the battle were not too shabby, and some armor blades were still harvested.

"Excellent! Brothers have worked hard! When you go back, you must properly pacify the various departments, and the wounded soldiers must be properly treated and resettled. If you have a problem, report it immediately, understand? ”

"Yes!"

Seeing everyone leave excitedly, Xu Changqing was also a little relieved.

A big victory is indeed a big victory, but this is still very different from Xu Changqing's prediction!

Liu Zongmin's old battalion elite didn't come up at all, and they all relied on those homeless cannon fodder to rush into battle, and they were able to cause more than 30 deaths to the model army?

It's a shame!

However, thinking about it, Xu Changqing was also a little bitter in his heart.

There's no way around it.

The equipment of the model army is still too poor......

Especially for the melee hand-to-hand combat arms such as pikemen, the protection of the armor is far from in place.

The homeless cannon fodder seems to be weak and weak, but you must know that they are all living people, and they are in a state of extreme ferocity, and that kind of explosive power should not be underestimated.

There is still a long way to go!

However, with this bloody hand-to-hand combat, the combat power of the sons and daughters must have improved a lot compared to before, and it can be regarded as a more solid foundation.

……

Just when Xu Changqing was cleaning up the results of the battle, Liu Zongmin, who was resting in the account tiredly in the camp of the Wandering Army, suddenly got a message and sat up suddenly.

"You mean, you saw the messenger from Kaifeng City, and connected with Xu Changqing's little cub?"

Liu Zongmin stared at the eyes of a black-faced strong man in his thirties.

This black-faced strong man is an official and soldier who does not accept it at night, and he has a lot of experience.

He hurriedly nodded like a chicken eating rice: "Chief Sentry Master, exactly." They left Xu Changqing's camp and headed all the way to the east, and it was estimated that they should have bypassed Kaifeng City from the eastern front. Moreover, Xu Changqing's model army also sent a lot of people to escort him. There were few people at that time, and they ran very fast, so they did not pursue. ”

"Haha!"

"Hahahahaha......"

Liu Zongmin suddenly laughed: "Okay! Well done! Look, must see! ”

As he spoke, Liu Zongmin patted the black-faced strong man on the shoulder: "Cao Heizi, you did a very good job!" Remember, in the past few days, you don't have to do anything else, just keep an eye on Xu Changqing's eastern front for your grandfather, don't let them notice! If there is any movement, report it to the master as soon as possible! Do you understand? ”

"Uh, yes!"

Cao Heizi didn't quite understand what Liu Zongmin meant, but the chief whistle had already said that he would reward him, which was definitely not a bad thing, and he immediately went out of the account happily.

Watching Cao Heizi's back disappear into the tent, the corners of Liu Zongmin's mouth couldn't help but set up a scornful smile: "Xu Changqing, Xu Changqing, let your eggless little cub be comfortable for a few days, wait a minute, your Liu Ye is done, and then I will clean you up!" ”
