At the end of the hour, the sun peeked out of the clouds, and the rain finally stopped.

On Xiaozhu Island, the killing that lasted for nearly half an hour finally came to an end, and the corpses, like dead dogs, were constantly being carried to the square in front of the Juyi Hall.

Even if there is still a lot of rain flowing down the terrain around, the bloody smell of rushing the night will not linger at all.

On the mossy steps, Xu Changqing avoided the quiet sea breeze slightly, slowly lit a bag of cigarettes, looked at the trembling old and weak women and children not far away, and looked at Governor Liu beside him with a smile: "Lord Liu, do you want to have a bag?" ”

"Goo, goo-dong......"

Governor Liu swallowed his saliva with great difficulty, and only came back to his senses after a while, and said with a smile like a busy robot: "No, no, no need." Thank you, thank you, uncle......"

didn't dare to look at Xu Changqing's eyes at all.

"Marshal, the battle report has been counted......"

At this time, Li Qilang and the two magistrates walked over quickly and respectfully handed a battle report to Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing looked at it for a while, then smiled and handed it to Governor Liu's hand: "Lord Liu, most of the bandits' property in Liu's blind department has been lightly sold, you see, do you directly fold it into silver, or do you want items?" ”

Governor Liu took the battle report tremblingly, and after reading it for a moment, his pupils dilated violently, and a pair of white hands trembled violently.

Who would have thought that the model army of Liu Changqing, the model army of Xu Changqing, who had exterminated the bandit Liu Blind who had been a disaster for nearly ten years, killed one person in battle, but in this short period of time, killed nearly 500 enemies and wiped out all of them......

In the past, he had also thought about it repeatedly and studied Xu Changqing, why was Xu Changqing able to achieve this level at such an age?

It was only then that he finally figured it out......

Last night, he had just arrived at the other courtyard, and before he could see what was going on, Xu Changqing had already pulled him straight to the dock and got on the boat......

And then when he arrived at this small bamboo island, he easily deceived the door of the Liu Blind Ministry's cottage with disguise, which directly destroyed the ancient decay, and did not give the Liu Blind Ministry's any chance to react at all!

Such decisiveness and ruthlessness, such sensitivity and transparency, grasp of people's hearts, and accurate use of their own strength, he Liu is really difficult to beat......

"Uncle, this, this, Xiaguan, Xiaguan everything is up to your arrangement, if, if it is convenient, Xiaguan, Xiaguan's share, it is better to convert it into cash......"

After a while, Governor Liu finally came back to his senses and hurriedly said respectfully.

Of course, he knew that these ruthless soldiers must have done something in the war report, but this kind of manipulation and footing also deserve it, and he is just a puppet today.

"Huh."

Xu Changqing couldn't help but smile: "Okay." Everything is according to your intentions, Lord Liu. However, Lord Liu, you'd better send an account office over, we are also good brothers, and the accounts are clear. ”

"Eh, okay, okay, uncle, I'll go and do ......it right away."

Watching Governor Liu's trembling departure, Xu Changqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled.

Governor Liu, although his position is not too firm, but he also has a bit of a bottom line, and his ability is decent, it has reached this level, if he can make the right choice, Xu Changqing will not hesitate to give him a chance.

In later generations, Rebus famously said, "Standing on the tuyere, pigs can fly." ”

The wave of people who really stand at the top of the pyramid is not necessarily the best and most powerful people, but at the right time, they stood on the cusp and made the right choice.

Of course, there should be a stepping stone, if Governor Liu can't be admitted to the Jinshi, the side that governs Dengzhou seems to have no such opportunity.

This also reminded Xu Changqing of the people in later generations who were always promoting the theory of 'reading is useless'.

For these people, Xu Changqing could only sneer and laugh, either stupid or bad!

At this time, the problem of Liu Blind was solved, although they still had some small strongholds and remnants left on the surrounding islands, they were no longer a threat, coupled with the existence of Qi Feng, there was no need to worry about the Black Island, just clean up the matter before tonight.

Next, talents like Governor Liu are needed to polish the layout.

This also made Xu Changqing breathe a long sigh of relief.

Liu Blind had a sentence before, but he was really right.

If he hadn't been so rash at the beginning, he had to take Xu Changqing's head to ask for credit from the Great Qing Kingdom and stick to Xiaozhu Island, Xu Changqing would really have no way to take him for a while!

Compared with old water ghosts like them, the model army of naval warfare cannot take any advantage.

Fortunately, at this time, the time and place are favorable, and everything is basically under control.

……

Just when Xu Changqing was in a comfortable and comfortable mood to lay out Denglai, on the bank of Bashui near Xijing, Sun Chuanting's mood was not so wonderful.

In the past few days of continuous victories, they have not only successfully recovered the two fortresses of Lintong and Lantian, but also the front of the army has also reached Bashui, and they are about to approach the ancient capital of Xijing!

In terms of politics, Sun Chuanting steadily suppressed the unlucky ghost Ding Qirui, and basically controlled the power of the armies in the northwest.

However, on the banks of this dominant water, they were fiercely counterattacked by the exile army!

At this time, the weather has warmed, although the water is not too wide, and it is affected by the Xiaoice River, and the water potential is not much, but the distance of 100 meters is still like a graben.

At this time, the Wandering People's Army had established a solid camp in the narrowest area on both sides of the Bashui River, built countless fortifications, and built several pontoon bridges over the river, connecting the two areas into one.

Yesterday, all units of the Northwest Army bombed the large battalion on the east bank indiscriminately for a day, paying thousands of casualties, but they could not advance half a step.

This also directly led to the original rainbow-like momentum of the official army, which was seriously threatened.

With Sun Chuanting's old spiciness, he already clearly smelled the smell of danger.

"Boom ......"

The water is rolling and flowing, with bursts of waves, and sometimes mischievous fish leap out of the water to play.

The turquoise on both sides of the river bank also shows that the hinterland of the majestic 800-mile Qinchuan River is recovering with vitality.

However, in the position of the Ming army downstream, on the high command platform of the Chinese army, the atmosphere was solemn.

It was already the end of the hour, Sun Chuanting squinted his eyes, looking at the continuous battle formation of the homeless army, and still hadn't decided who he wanted to fight today.

This is also a trick that Sun Chuanting learned from Xu Changqing.

Although he has never had direct contact with Xu Changqing here, he has been studying Xu Changqing, and after the Battle of the Central Plains, he personally went to explore the position of Xu Changqing and the Model Army at that time.

In the past, he fought and always liked the high-spirited Yuan Rong car, after all, it was more in line with his identity, but after really exploring and studying the position of the model army, he realized Xu Changqing's subtlety.

No matter how high the Yuan Rong car is, can it be higher than this command platform?

Moreover, Yuan Rong can only sit in the car alone, and the other generals do not have this treatment at all.

But many battlefields are all plains, and if the generals can't better appreciate the terrain and landforms, how can they fully control the situation?

Therefore, these days, on every battlefield, Sun Chuanting will let people build a command platform.

Seeing that the sun was beginning to become more and more vicious, and the generals and officials of the various ministries who were already ready to go were about to be sheathed, Sun Chuanting finally couldn't hold his breath, and glanced at the mighty red cloaks around him and said: "Gentlemen, who can break the enemy for this official and break through the outpost of the thieves?" ”

More than a dozen generals, lieutenants, and generals in red cloaks, one by one, you look at me, I look at you, but none of them spoke rashly.

It is different from the elder-like Hong Chengchou.

It is even more different from Ding Qirui, who is gentle, high-spirited, and soft-hearted!

Sun Chuanting is really ruthless, and he is a little cold, and he can't do anything for him, so he really has to lose his head.

More than two years ago, the famous He Ren Longhe Maniac is the best example of the past.

Moreover, the Northwest Army is extremely complex, not only is it disconnected from the Exile Army, but the factions of each family are also diverse.

To put it bluntly, most of the soldiers in the northwest of the Nine Sides, including Yansui, Yulin, Ningxia, and even Shanxi and Datong, are Qin people.

Not to mention the exile army, the core is all northern Shaanxi men.

People who all speak the same country accent, if you don't have relatives to chat a little, how do you play?

If the situation is good and everyone has meat to eat, everyone will naturally not hesitate to work hard, and no one will feel distressed if they die a few big-headed soldiers.

But at this time, the thieves obviously have careful preparations, and they don't want the officials and soldiers to kill in Xijing City, this is going to be desperate, and they can't do it, and it is very likely that they will have to bear a big responsibility, whose braincase will let the donkey kick and take this kind of bloody work?

Sun Chuanting looked at the silent generals, and the anger in his chest and abdomen couldn't help but rush up.

This is also the biggest helplessness of him, or all Wenchen leading troops!

- There is no lineage, you can't be like an arm!

Even his henchman Gao Jie subconsciously lowered his head at this time, not daring to face his gaze.

"Hey."

Sun Chuanting sighed deeply in his heart and forcibly suppressed his anger.

Originally, he wanted to use this battle to completely quell the troubles of the thieves and compare the 'disobedient' Xu Changqing, but it was really hard to hit the bones, and he realized that even if he looked down on Xu Changqing, but if he was really in the army, his words were probably not as good as Xu Changqing......

But no matter how hard it is, things have to go on.

Sun Chuanting swept over the generals in front of him again and again, and gradually had an answer in his heart, and said after a moment: "Mengjunmen, Senior Deputy General, in this battle, you two are the vanguard!" Remember, don't be too anxious, focus on safety, and kill the momentum of the thief first! ”

Fierce as a tiger and Gao Jie couldn't help but glance at each other, naturally they understood the room in Sun Chuanting's military order, and they were all respectful: "The last general takes the order!" ”

Soon, the two hurriedly rushed down the high platform and began to mobilize their respective main forces to assemble outside the battle array.

Seeing the orderly appearance of the two, Sun Chuanting was also slightly relieved.

The reason why he chose to fight as fierce as a tiger and Gao Huang was not without a target, but after repeated weighing and planning.

Meng Ruhu is the current chief military officer of Shaanxi, and he has been following Ding Qirui all the time, and he belongs to the forces newly attached to him, so he must have a good chance of winning him over.

Moreover, Meng Ruhu was the chief military officer of Shanxi before, and there were many Shanxi people under his command, which to a certain extent could prevent the soldiers from being bewitched by thieves.

Especially as fierce as a tiger, the combat power is not weak.

Not to mention Gao Jie, this is a ruthless man who abducted Li Zicheng's wife, and he is incompatible with the thief.

And Gao Jie is not only outstanding in military talent, but also very good at being a person.

Back then, when Gao Jie betrayed Li Zicheng and surrendered to the official army, he voted for Hong Chengchou, the then governor of the three sides, and later Hong Chengchou went to Liaodi, and he resolutely took refuge in his Sun Chuanting.

At this time, the two departments add up, more than 10,000, and the orders given to them are flexible, even if they can't take the thief outpost, the scene can at least be fought, at least they can stabilize the morale of the army first.

Anyway, now that his grandson's reputation has risen, and he has a lot of military exploits in hand, and he has also explained to the imperial court, he is not in a hurry.

This is also where his core confidence lies!

"Woo~~Woo~~"

Soon, Fierce Tiger and Gao Jie were already well prepared, and with the sound of loud swans, the two had a total of 13,400 people, like two red torrents, a little messy, but they were still out of camp in an orderly manner.
