"Lord, the casualties of our battle have been ...... It's out......"

In front of many people, Emperor Chongzhen did a scene for half an hour, and after a long period of familiarity, Xu Changqing and his party returned to the camp.

Xu Changqing glanced at Li Yan.

Li Yan hurriedly lowered his head humbly.

This is Li Yan's cleverness.

He did not go with the generals to enjoy the glory of the Son of Heaven receiving and worshipping the people, but returned to the camp to do practical things.

Xu Changqing smiled, ripped off his cloak, but did not take off his armor in a hurry, sat on the throne, lit a cigar, took a deep breath and said, "Read it." ”

"Yes!"

"My lord, in this battle, our model army annihilated more than 2,300 enemies, killed nearly 3,500 thieves and horses, captured more than 4,000 pieces of armor, more than 2,700 sabers, and ...... flags, combat boots, etc."

After talking about the battle exploits, seeing that Xu Changqing did not have the slightest fluctuation, Li Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he bet right.

Xu Changqing's mind was not on the merits of this battle at all.

He immediately adjusted his mind, changed to a sad and heavy tone, and continued: "My lord, my model army has lost more than 1,400 people in this battle, more than 200 seriously wounded, and more than 1,200 lightly wounded...... Ninety percent of the bodies of the fallen soldiers have been collected, and some of them are not easy to dispose of, so they must be carefully distinguished......"

Although these numbers had been expected for a long time, when Li Yan really read them, Xu Changqing's heart still tightened, like a sharp knife, directly stabbing into his heart!

More than 1,400 people?

What is this concept?

This is close to a whole thousand corps!

And the more than 200 people who were seriously injured, if nothing else, I am afraid that they are also more than lucky......

It's almost the same as ...... The model army directly lost a reorganized 1,000 corps, nearly 2,000 living good sons......

The point is that if it is placed in a normal state, such a tragic sacrifice is not necessary at all......

Seeing that Xu Changqing's face was not good-looking, Li Yan hesitated for a moment, and cautiously tentatively said: "Lord, do you want to give more compensation to these soldiers who died in battle?" Subordinate meaning...... Not in the goods, but in the honor. For example, you can seal their wives and children and protect some of their children's rights......"

Xu Changqing took a deep breath, eased up a little, and nodded, "Yes." Strategist, I've worked hard for you on this matter. This time, the sons and daughters died for my Ming Dynasty and my Han family's sons, they died gloriously and deservedly! We not only want them to walk decently, but also let their wives and children and parents live decently! ”

"Yes!"

Waiting for Li Yan to leave, Xu Changqing came back to his senses for a while, the whole person was vicissitudes and tired, but his eyes became more and more fierce.

"Once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud."

From a purely military point of view, seventy percent of today's war will do more harm than good!

Because even if the model army made such a great sacrifice, won the war, played with prestige, and played with momentum, it was useless and could not solve any problems at all.

This is a global battlefield, and by no means a local war.

The elite of the exile army at this time, how many millions?

Especially with their general trend, the old battalion soldiers will only become more and more, and they will become more and more ruthless!

But at this time, it is impossible for the model army to have any allies......

However, Xu Changqing had to fight this battle!

This is even the only opportunity that Xu Changqing can grasp and reverse his fate at this time!

If he can't show the power of a model army in front of the Son of Heaven, the ministers, and the people of Beijing, then how can he Xu Changqing gain a foothold in the world?

lit another cigar and let out a long puff of thick mist, even if Xu Changqing didn't want to admit it, he couldn't help but admit it...... At this time, he is no longer pure, and he is complex and tangled......

It is true that he still puts the country and the nation at the core, but it is on the premise that he must first protect himself......

This reminded Xu Changqing of a very interesting and heart-wrenching joke in later generations: "Shoot the young man's heart ......"

Although there are many disadvantages of this battle, if you think about it carefully, there are still a lot of benefits, and they are all quite critical!

Although the model army did not defeat the Wandering Army in this battle, nor did it cause them to suffer too much damage, at least in terms of momentum, it once again suppressed the Wandering Army.

This will at least make the displaced army dare not rush into chaos in the short term, before the strategic goal is achieved!

In particular, the failure of Liu Zongmin and Liu Fangliang will definitely cause some fluctuations within the Displaced People's Army.

It must be known that although Liu Zongmin is strong, there is still Li Zicheng above him, and there are many people in the core who disobey him.

In terms of politics, after this battle, Emperor Chongzhen's face has finally been preserved, and it will definitely allow those rats at both ends of the first rat to further assess the current situation, and Xu Changqing's name of 'the world's first general' and the 'world's first army' of the model army will be preserved.

It can win more precious time for Xu Changqing!

Only Daming can continue to hold on, and he can always find an opportunity, right?

After resting for a while, Dong Yu had already prepared a sumptuous dinner for Xu Changqing, but Xu Changqing didn't have time to eat at all, so he immediately devoted himself to the work of soothing the hearts of the army.

This is also another huge benefit of this battle, so that the model army has raised the morale of the army! Xu Changqing naturally has to control this rhythm well.

……

Just when Xu Changqing was carefully controlling the army, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and it gradually covered the entire heaven and earth with a layer of snow white, and the sky was gradually darkening.

In the Jingshi City, Emperor Chongzhen has returned to the palace with a beautiful mood, and the bigwigs of various families have also returned to their respective mansions.

It's just that some people are full of joy and hurry to burn incense and kowtow to their ancestors, looking forward to the hope of Daming Zhongxing.

But there are still some people who are not too down-to-earth in their hearts.

Chen's house.

Chen Yan's inner study.

Every time the old guy comes back to enjoy the pretty maid's massage, he has changed his habits, and he has a cold old face, listening carefully to Chen Gongzi's report.

"Father, the wind in Kyori has changed. Xu Changqing's reputation as a traitor is discussed by almost everyone in the alley, even if it is snowing outside now, many ordinary people are making noise on the streets, and they can't be suppressed. Moreover, the few companies that took the initiative to contact us before are now silent...... The child just went to ask the boys out for a drink, and they didn't respond to the child......"

Chen Gongzi reported tremblingly.

At this point, he also felt scared.

This kind of thing is like poison. Pin, it feels really wonderful, like a fluttering fairy, but Chen Gongzi is not unaware of the consequences, once it fails, once it is leaked, then, let alone him, it is his father, their entire family, it is all a catastrophe!

At this time, Xu Changqing had already used his strong strength to prove that he had the ability to push their Chen family down the abyss......

Seeing Chen Gongzi's appearance, Chen Yan was angry, 'snapped', slapped the teacup, and said tyrannically: "Aren't you quite shrewd on weekdays?" Dad has taught you for so many years, where is your kung fu to cultivate qi? That's it, this little thing, can scare you like this? Even if Xu Changqing defeated thousands of cavalry, so what? Could it be that the Dashun Dynasty only has these thousands of cavalry? Mi'er, you disappointed your father too much, a man's husband, you can be soft, you can bow your head, but you must not admit defeat! Do you think ......?"

Listening to his Lao Tzu's truth, what else can Chen Gongzi do, he can only be a strong 'uh-huh', 'yes, yes'.

However, Chen Gongzi is also very rare to see his father so out of shape, the last time, when he was very young, he Laozi wanted to meet the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, thinking about it, at this time, it was not only him, but also his Laozi, and he was a little panicked at this time.

But Chen Gongzi definitely won't do this kind of thing, and he doesn't dare to say it.

After a while, Chen Yan was tired of scolding, and by scolding his son, he also regained some self-confidence, which was a little recovered, and said in a deep voice: "Now that Xu Changqing is in full swing, don't you mess around anymore, do you know if the gun shoots the first bird?" Now, don't think too much, the situation is not out of control, try to keep an eye on your group of fox friends and dogs, you must grasp the latest situation, you know? ”

"Yes, yes......"

After sending away his son, Chen Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but a gloomy thief light flashed in the old man's eyes, and he sneered: "Hmph, little rabbit cub, what storms has the old man never seen in his life?" You are just an ant, and you still want to hinder the good deeds of the old man, dream! ”

……

The night was getting darker.

Many celebrations in the Beijing division are still not over, countless places lit with fires, everywhere can be heard talking, pointing to the country, almost everyone will Xu Changqing as a god's residence, the savior of the Ming Dynasty, the cornerstone of the future of the Ming Dynasty.

And in the model army, many sons and daughters did not rest, and the sound of laughter and the smell of hot horse meat were heard everywhere.

As the famous words of the great sages of the Republic of China: "The general trend of the times, the vast soup, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die." ”

At this time, for the model army, it is obvious that it is better to block than to slacken.

Xu Changqing naturally wants to let this morale continue to ferment.

But at this time, the camp of the displaced army was low and quiet, only the terrible north wind, constantly passing the sound of 'whining', which was extremely stark in contrast to their morning.

Chinese Army.

Inside the big tent.

Liu Zongmin and Liu Fangliang have reached an agreement to deal with Li Zicheng and the core of the exile army, who will rush over tomorrow.

But Liu Fangliang was still a little unwilling, and poured the burning knife hard and said, "Ru Hou, it's not a way to go on like this." Although Xu Changqing is a hateful thief, he really has some ability, and he uses infantry to harden the elite cavalry of our righteous army, which is incredible. ”

Liu Zongmin was already as calm as water at this time, and slowly and methodically took a sip of the wine in the cup and said, "Fang Liang, don't be too anxious." This person is like floating on water, and sometimes, the more anxious you are, the more useless it becomes. The more force you use, not only will it not have any effect, but it will only make you bruised all over your body, and you will not even have a chance to get up. ”

Liu Fangliang's eyes suddenly lit up: "You wait, could it be that you already have a way to break the enemy?" ”

"Huh."

Liu Zongmin smiled faintly and drank the wine in the cup: "Fang Liang, be patient." Someone will be more anxious than the rebels. ”

"You mean, ......?"

Liu Zongmin didn't answer this anymore, poured another glass of wine for Liu Fangliang with a smile, and then filled himself with it: "Fangliang, don't think about it so much, come, let's have another drink, let's talk about tomorrow's things first!" ”

"Okay, you're waiting, it's time to do it!"
