"Changqing, the emperor is actually ...... this time There was also a lot of sincerity. The emperor did not ask you to completely exterminate the thieves this time, but only to take Xijing...... Moreover, if you can take Xijing, when you are a marquis, you will definitely be a superior waiter, and the hereditary will not be replaced......"

Seeing Xu Changqing's gentle attitude, Wang Chengen hurriedly explained with an embarrassed smile.

Looking at Wang Chengen, who was working hard, Xu Changqing didn't say anything, just smiled.

At this time, Xu Changqing also had some understanding of these things.

In the past 270 years, except for the ancestral transmission of the great grandfather when he founded the country, including the relatives of the heavenly family, there are very few people who can be crowned marquis by merit.

And there is also a big gap between waiting.

For example, the waiting of relatives, it is basically a showcase, and some can't even pass it on to their sons, even if they can be passed on to their sons, they are basically decreasing, the previous generation is Hou, and the next generation is Uncle, which is mostly still on the face of the Queen Mother.

Emperor Chongzhen said it so bluntly at this time, compared to before, he really showed a lot of sincerity.

However, Xu Changqing's mind was not here at all, and when Wang Chengen finished speaking, he looked at the old eunuch with a smile and said, "Prince, don't worry about the matter of the marquis for the time being, let's take a look at the front first." Now, my army is faced with two choices, I wonder which way the prince thinks it is appropriate to take? ”

Xu Changqing pointed to the map, and then used cinnabar to draw two red lines from Kaifeng on the map.

"This, this ......"

Wang Chengen was dumbfounded.

He is just an old eunuch with the appearance of a middle-aged person, honest and lucky, he has only come to today's position, where does he know anything about military affairs?

Moreover, this campaign is just too big!

Even if Wang Chengen thinks with his ass, he can know that if he chooses the wrong one and something really goes wrong, what a terrible thing it should be.

It is no exaggeration to say that the national glory of the Ming Dynasty is about to collapse because of this, how dare he talk so easily?

Seeing Wang Chengen grinding and chirping, he didn't dare to express his position, Xu Changqing smiled, and no longer embarrassed him, "Prince, Changqing is also a little entangled in this matter." Since it is difficult to make a decision, let's start a military discussion and listen to everyone's opinions. ”

"Well, this is good, this is good, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, listen to everyone's opinions, and then make a decision, it will definitely be much safer."

Wang Chengen hurriedly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, he also understood that it would really be too long to disturb Xu Changqing's thoughts again.

Not long after, the military meeting was held, and everyone expressed their opinions one after another.

As for the two roads of Luonan and Tongguan, which one to take, when they are on the road these days, there are many discussions among the model generals.

Because the base camp of the model army is on the seaside, almost everyone is familiar with water, and it is the height of summer at this time, and Luonan is not too turbulent at this time, so most of the generals are in favor of taking the Luonan line.

After all, the Luonan front, no matter from which angle you consider it, is a model army with an advantage.

Even if the Wandering People's Army had an ambush and played a water war, how could they be the opponent of the Model Army?

Wang Chengen also nodded again and again when he listened, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was safe to go to Luonan, and he almost couldn't help but speak out in favor.

The generals who advocated taking the front line of Luonan also began to get excited, and the big victory told their strategic plan.

Only Li Yan smiled and did not speak.

At this time, he had already understood Xu Changqing's choice!

Really.

After a while, Xu Changqing took the case, and the entire tent quickly quieted down, all looking at Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing said lightly: "The first line of Luoshui, as a feint, the main force will go to the first line of Tongguan!" Prepare as soon as possible, and from tomorrow onwards, speed up the march! ”

"Well, it's ......"

All the generals were a little stunned, they didn't expect Xu Changqing to make such a choice.

Zhao Zengjin relied on being close to Xu Changqing, and hurriedly said: "Dashuai, why, why do you want to go to Tongguan...... Isn't this a waste of effort, and our advantage? ”

"Huh."

Xu Changqing sneered, "Think for yourself!" Come back to me when you figure it out! ”

"Yes......"

Zhao Zengjin suddenly wilted, and many generals couldn't figure it out for a while.

The red lady also bit her red lips tightly, and couldn't figure out Xu Changqing's intentions for a while, Mu's, she suddenly saw Li Yan, who was under control, and suddenly captured something.

In a moment, she had already figured it out, and she couldn't help but sigh again and again, "Wonderful, really wonderful!" Dashuai's brain is really ......"

Xu Changqing left quickly, only the stunned generals were left in the tent, and they couldn't get out in a confused state, while Li Yan was smiling and drinking tea, controlling the overall situation on behalf of Xu Changqing.

Looking at Li Yan, who seemed to be harmless to humans and animals, the pretty face of the red lady quickly became complicated.

When they were with Li Yangang, they were vigorous and had always been passed down as a good story by the people, and the red lady was very proud of it, after all, she was from a humble background, but she found a good man.

Even if Li Yan values love and righteousness and does not divorce his wife, she can be regarded as a flat wife, and under the forbearance of Li Yan's original partner, she takes the initiative everywhere.

However, the landscape of life is wandering......

With the passage of time, both of them and their husbands and wives were taken under Xu Changqing's command and held important positions, and many things and many contradictions began to breed, grow, and then erupt......

Li Yan is a military advisor, with a high position, and he is almost busy every day without touching the ground.

The red lady is also the commander of a thousand in general, and at this time she is even a guerrilla military position, and she is the second female general of the real power faction in the Ming Dynasty at this time except for Qin Liangyu, and she stays in the military camp most of the time on weekdays, and the two have almost no time to communicate.

Especially under the continuous accumulation, the outlook on life and values of the two have also begun to deviate, inadvertently, the two have been in a cold war for several months, and in the middle of every lonely night, when the red lady can't sleep, she will always compare Li Yan and Xu Changqing from time to time......

"Hey......"

Looking at the calm Li Yan, the red lady suddenly sighed faintly and lowered her gaze.

What is the difference between this kind of day and having broken up?

When the hell is going to be the end?

But neither she nor Li Yan can give up their current careers......

……

The route of the march was determined, and the next movement of the model army was more rapid.

At the same time, Xu Changqing and Wang Chengen also continued to urge the imperial court to increase the supply of food and wages as soon as possible.

Although the model army carried enough grain and grass to support three months at this time, it would take more than a month on the road, and this battle was most likely based on a stalemate battle, Xu Changqing knew very well that this was far from enough!

The reason why I chose to go to Tongguan instead of Luoshui is actually very simple.

There are so many generals in the model army, they all want to go to Luoshui, how can the exiled army not think of it? It must be well prepared in the Luonan area!

On the contrary, Tongguan is a natural danger, one man is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open, even if the exile army is prepared, it will not be too much.

The sage said: "Soldiers, treacherous! ”

Everything has been seen through by the enemy, how can this battle be fought?

Of course, the most critical core is that Xu Changqing is also deadlocked, how can there be such a reason on Luoshui's side?

Especially once Luoshui is chosen, it is destined to be a bayonet in the shortest possible time, and the logistics cannot keep up.

Tongguan is closer to Shanxi, although the Yellow River passes through, but most of the surrounding area is still controlled by the imperial court, and taking the Tongguan line can ensure that Shanxi's grain and grass can be sent to the model army in the shortest possible time.

No matter how fanciful the reply of the imperial court is, Xu Changqing only recognizes one point, only the meat that is eaten in his mouth is good meat!

……

In the blink of an eye, it has entered August, and the weather is quickly cooling down under the continuous rain.

Xijing, the palace of the king of Qin.

At this time, it has become the dormitory of Li Zicheng, the emperor of the Great Shun Kingdom.

In the magnificent hall, Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing, Liu Fangliang, Gao Yigong, Yuan Zongdi and many other cores of the exile army are deliberating.

"How about it, Aiqing, what did Xu Changqing do today?"

Li Zicheng was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sitting on a simple version of the dragon chair with high spirits, looking at the smug courtiers below him.

Liu Zongmin, who has been promoted to General Quan and canonized as Ruhou, said with a smile: "Emperor, as we expected, Xu Changqing's gang is vigorously searching for ships in the Lu Clan, and has entangled many craftsmen to make warships, our spies have just reported that they have been entangled in tens of thousands of ships, if nothing else, at most in mid-August, they will enter the hinterland of our Qinchuan." ”

"Oh?"

"It's pretty fast."

Li Zicheng frowned slightly, and was also a little surprised by the speed at which Xu Changqing searched for the construction of ships, he almost lost his head in order to cross the Yellow River.

"Huang Hu, no, you wait, how are our sons and daughters preparing?"

After all, he had just set up a team, and the yellow robe was added, and for a while, Li Zicheng was still a little uncomfortable with the rules of the emperor.

Fortunately, they are all old brothers, and no one cares.

Liu Zongmin said with a smile: "Don't worry, the emperor, you have already prepared well!" Xu Changqing doesn't come, as long as he dares to come, hehe, I promise, let his baby understand well! ”

Everyone around them burst into laughter, as if they had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time!

At this time, the main force of the Liumin Army basically wiped out the capable army within the Ming Dynasty, as long as Xu Changqing was destroyed again, then, their great cause would really be stable, and they would be able to go straight to the Jingshi and smash the Yellow Dragon, so as to complete the immortal feat!

The Wandering People's Army is huge at this time, but it is on the defensive, not only can it safely digest the land of Qinchuan, but it has also secretly received a lot of temptations from the capital, Xu Changqing is not moving now, they are not in a hurry, and they disperse after the regular meeting.

Liu Zongmin and the others have been in Xijing these days, and they have collected a lot of beautiful wives and concubines, and they don't want to stay here longer, so they will soon go back to enjoy it.

Although Li Zicheng has ascended the throne and accepted a few palace maids from the original Qin Palace, he is not a person of pleasure.

If you talk about will, perseverance, including self-discipline, even in the 5,000-year history of China, Li Zicheng can definitely be on the list.

This is also a core factor in his success and getting to where he is today.

However, although everything looks very good, Li Zicheng's innate keen intuition makes Li Zicheng feel that something is faintly wrong!

It's a feeling that can only be understood, but never spoken!

It is this feeling that has allowed Li Zicheng to escape crisis after crisis.

He also has great trust in this feeling of him.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Li Zicheng muttered to himself, but he really couldn't find it for a while.

Their spies have already found out very clearly, near Lushi County, Xu Changqing has circled a large piece of land for five or six days, and the flags and the like inside are very regular, almost thirty or forty thousand people, which is also very in line with Xu Changqing's confidence.

There are no flaws in other defenses, patrols, etc.

In every way, it doesn't look like there's anything wrong.

However, Li Zicheng felt that there must be something wrong, but he couldn't find it for a while.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Zicheng sighed again, didn't think about it anymore, and muttered: "Tomorrow morning, let's send someone to take another look, if you don't look at it, it's not reassuring......"
