Chapter 1011: The Qing Army Retreats

By noon, the floods had largely subsided, and the world was still full of mud and mess, but the threat of floods had also dissipated.

And the weather is very good today, the sun has been very good, looking at this appearance, it is estimated that it will not rain today.

This time, unless there is still a water storage point in the upper reaches of the Qing army, otherwise, at least today's daytime time is very safe.

In this morning's work, the remnants of the white flag in the mountains and forests have basically been cleared up, and even if there are still a few ground rat-like fish that have slipped through the net, they are completely negligible.

As the baggage brought by the cavalry also went up the mountain, many large tents were erected at the top of the hill, and it has become a full-scale camp.

Chinese army, Xu Changqing's big tent.

Chunni was sleeping on Xu Changqing's marching bed, while Xu Changqing was carefully watching the battle report that had just been compiled by several magistrates.

In the raid on Azig, the casualties of the model army were not small, nearly 200 people.

Although only more than 40 people were actually killed in battle, and they were still within the acceptable range, if they were really calculated, this seemed to be a very serious casualty ratio of the model army in recent years.

In this regard, Xu Changqing seems to have an unshirkable responsibility.

It's still too greedy to say that a snake swallows an elephant, but if it is normal, this casualty rate is completely avoidable.

Fortunately, the results were remarkable.

Not only did he capture Azig alive and kill more than 900 true Manchurians, only nine people were in the core of true Manchuria above Jialazhangjing, but also captured more than 4,000 fine war horses and countless weapons and armor, which was definitely the most valuable battle in the Ming Dynasty in decades.

This made Xu Changqing's command mistakes in this battle easily erased.

When a few magistrates came to report their merits just now, their faces were full of excitement, and they didn't notice the slightest abnormality at all......

Even they do, not to mention the others.

This made Xu Changqing breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time, he was constantly alerting himself.

As the leader of the Model Army, a group that has grown into a giant monster-like interest group, many times, you still have to be cautious.

After reading the battle report, Xu Changqing carefully inspected Quan Chunni's wound and helped her cover the quilt, which was the way to move her hands and feet.

At this time, Wang Pu's four divisions were already relying on this mountainous area to gather, and it was definitely not possible to directly attack the main force of the Qing army, but the harassment problem was not big.

The initiative in this war has completely fallen to Daming's side at this time, to be precise, it has completely fallen into the hands of Xu Changqing.

But Xu Changqing will not be rash at this time.

No man is content!

Xu Changqing understands very well that at this time, breaking through the sharpness of the Qing army and shaking their foundation has already earned a lot, which is enough.

If the rear is not stable and you also need to adjust your rest, it would be foolish to stare at the main force of the Qing army.

It must be known that the rabbit bites when it is in a hurry, not to mention that the main force of the Qing army has not suffered any damage.

And Xu Changqing didn't know the details of Gaoyou Lake at this time, and he still had some anxiety in his heart.

The best situation now is to quietly pick up some wool from the Qing army, but it can't make them feel pain, and they have to play with their lives to let them retreat in this similar situation.

"Commander, Dolgon's handwritten letter to you......"

Just as Xu Changqing was pacing with his hands in his hands, sorting out his thoughts, Wang Xi followed quickly and reported in a low voice. "Huh? Take it. ”

Xu Changqing frowned slightly.

What's the situation?

What kind of trouble is this coming out of Dorgon, and is he going to negotiate peace again?

After opening Dolgon's secret letter and reading it, Xu Changqing was also stupid on the spot, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

At the moment of opening the secret letter, Xu Changqing thought about many possibilities, although it was only for a moment, it could still bring some pressure to Xu Changqing.

But it is......

I never dreamed that Dolgon would actually ...... wants to take Wu Sanfeng's safety to hang Azig's little life to talk about things......

Is this a joke?

In this state, if they want to negotiate peace, Xu Changqing is really a little troublesome, after all, it was not easy to seize such an opportunity, how could Xu Changqing give up easily?

If it is accumulated step by step according to the normal state, not to mention more, the model army, including the entire Ming Dynasty, will need at least five years before it is possible to maintain the initiative against the Qing army.

At this time, Dolgon and they actually talked about Wu Sanfeng's little life??

But after being speechless and funny, Xu Changqing gradually touched the deep meaning of some Dolgon and others.

To put it bluntly, they have reached this state, and they don't want to continue fighting, and this willingness is even more fierce than that of Xu Changqing!

They don't want to make peace yet.

It's like, now the discussion will only lose more points with them.

can come up with such a ridiculous routine, I'm afraid there is no choice.

Xu Changqing definitely didn't care about Wu Sanfeng's life or death, he hadn't even seen Wu Sanfeng's face.

What's more, it is a matter of the general trend of the world, and a 'poor relative' is afraid that even a sound may not be heard.

But when he really calmed down, Xu Changqing also discovered the high-end and tricky nature of their hands!

This is a very high-level trap for Xu Changqing, whether he Xu Changqing wants to protect his high reputation.

They haven't revealed the news yet!

After sorting out the joints, Xu Changqing couldn't cry or laugh for a while, this person was anxious, it was really hard to say, even if it was Dolgon, these Manchu and Mongolian royal clans who seemed to be high.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Xu Changqing still decided to maintain this tacit understanding with Dolgon.

On the one hand, Xu Changqing also needs them to withdraw as soon as possible, and then quickly clean up the mess, on the other hand, only by promising them, they will relax and 'boil frogs in warm water'.

Another point is that Wu Sanfeng reported to Xu Changqing at the beginning, and it was reasonable that Xu Changqing could not sit idly by when facing Wu Sanfeng's crisis.

Xu Changqing did not rush to reply to Dolgon, but waited patiently, waiting for the detailed information from Gaoyou Lake to come.

At the beginning of the Shen period, the news from the side of Gaoyou Lake finally came that the Qing army no longer had water storage points, and all water storage points were spared.

Xu Changqing relaxed at this time and sent a reply to Dolgon and the others.

The general meaning is, 'It's okay to change people, but not now, you can talk about it after you retire.'" ’

……

When the news reached the Qing army camp, Dolgon and the others were a little bored after reading it.

Duoduo couldn't help but ask, "What does Xu Changqing mean by this?" What is he trying to do by dragging it like this? Hang us? ”

Dorgon frowned and said nothing.

Zilharang also frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, Zilharang suddenly slapped his thigh and sneered: "Regent, Prince Yu, I'm afraid this matter is not a bad thing!" ”

"Sixth brother, don't sell Guanzi, how can you talk about this?"

Duoduo was a little anxious, and looked at Zilharang.

Dorgon was also busy looking.

Jierharang smiled in control: "Xu Changqing also wants us to withdraw from the army." I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on. And depending on what he meant, he obviously didn't want to report the matter of King Wuyingjun! Isn't this the most favorable good news for my Qing Dynasty? ”

"This ......"

Duoduo was still a little confused, but Dolgon came back to his senses all of a sudden, and his eyes lit up and said, "Sixth brother, then, what do you mean, what should I do?" ”

"Retreat!"

Zierharang simply and decisively said: "We will withdraw now, but if we want Xu Changqing to do so, we must send the old twelve back before we rush to Shandong!" Otherwise, let's go and rob Haicheng! ”

"Wonderful, wonderful. Ha ha. ”

Dodor finally came to his senses and gave Zilharan a thumbs up.

A smile also appeared on Dolgon's face: "In that case, then retreat!" Sixth brother, fifteenth, everything is thanks to you! ”

……

In less than half an hour, Xu Changqing received the news of the Qing army's retreat, and couldn't help clenching his fists!

Sure enough, 'Gou' is the last word in life.

Just as Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of this dynasty, have a life creed.

The difference is that the overlord's creed is, 'If you don't return to your hometown, you should be like a brocade at night.' ’

And Zhu Yuanzhang's creed is: 'Build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become king.' ’

After all, the overlord is the overlord, and he is domineering.

But in the face of bloody reality, no matter how domineering and unparalleled you are, there is a bird to use?

……

After waiting for another half an hour, when the news of the Qing army's withdrawal was more accurate and more news came, Xu Changqing spread the news to the whole army.

Suddenly, the entire camp turned into a sea of joy.

Looking at these familiar faces cheering, Xu Changqing's mood couldn't help but brighten.

Life may be full of reluctance, even when it comes to his status as Xu Changqing, it is not exempt from vulgarity, but people always have to look forward.

Just like the classic saying in "Love Lotus Said": "Lotus, out of the mud without staining." ”

If there is no nourishment from the silt, how can a noble lotus grow?

However, the sons and daughters can cheer and celebrate, and even indulge a little, but Xu Changqing cannot have such an opportunity.

At this time, even if the Qing army retreated, the more severe test for Xu Changqing had just begun.

Nanjing, Yangzhou, many Han army banner minions, floods, post-flood reconstruction, displaced people......

These are all real problems that must be solved immediately.

Moreover, Xu Changqing doesn't trust Dolgon and them, and he must prevent them from killing them!

……

Xu Changqing only slept for more than an hour that night, and got up as soon as it was dawn.

The many nights that Xu Changqing sent out overnight have collected a lot of core news at this time.

The Qing army has really retreated, and has retreated to the front line of Xuzhou.

And their hundreds of thousands of Han slaves near Gaoyou have not been cleaned up, and they are short of food and clothing at this time, and they are in chaos.

Xu Changqing really relaxed at this time, but he also understood Dolgon's intentions, this is going to change the battlefield.

If this is calculated, the exchange between Azig and Wu Sanfeng is probably much deeper than what Xu Changqing thought before!
