When Xu Changqing received the news that Ningwu Pass had fallen, the main force of the Model Army had already arrived in Zhongmu.

King Zhu Gongzi of Zhou, Huang Shu, Chen Yongfu and others had been waiting here for a long time, and brought a lot of pigs and sheep to work hard.

In this situation, no one can protect themselves.

With the past of Kaifeng and the refugee army, Xu Changqing is undoubtedly the biggest and most reliable thigh. Both sides have many spaces for cooperation and maintain consistent interests. At this time, they can be regarded as a very stable ally.

Zhongmu County has long been abandoned. As early as a few years ago, when Li Zicheng first trapped Kaifeng, it was looted and then burned to fire.

At this time, the city was full of broken walls and ruins, black and gray everywhere, and many weeds were almost gone, and various rats and insects were growing, which was obviously not suitable for living.

The camp of the Model Army is stationed in the north of Zhongmu City.

In the big tent, a fat little lamb was almost roasted. The golden juice mixed with the tempting aroma of meat dripped onto the charcoal fire in the brazier, and sometimes made a slightly harsh "天" sound. A personal soldier was carefully roasting.

Zhu Gongzi and Huang Shu knew that Xu Changqing was tired and did not dare to disturb Xu Changqing too much, so they had already gone down to rest.

Looking at the golden little lamb, Xu Changqing couldn't help but breathe a long breath of turbid air.

From a humanistic perspective, the atrocities of the refugee army in the Central Plains are undoubtedly outrageous and simply contrary. Human beings cannot forgive their sins even if they die a hundred times.

However, from a strategic perspective, they were successful. They successfully destroyed the organizational structure of the Central Plains and created a large number of unmanned lands, thus perfectly achieving their strategic goals.

Just like Ningwu Pass at this time.

Although they delayed a lot of time and paid a lot of price, they finally succeeded in taking Ningwu Pass and killing Zhou Yuji.

This is a bit like the chicken soup theory in later generations: "Successful big shots are not very strong, but they did the most right things at the right time."

Xu Changqing didn't know Zhou Yuji and had never seen him before. However, when he heard that Zhou Yuji was even more tragic than in history, he was a little silent for a moment, and even more sad about the death of a rabbit and the fox...

In fact, in many aspects, Xu Changqing and Zhou Yuji have many similarities.

They are all from the bottom and are fighting all the way with their military achievements.

However, unlike Xu Changqing, Zhou Yuji did not have Xu Changqing's means, and his luck was a little bad. The key is that he was too pure...

Countless history has proved that a simple soldier is destined to be unable to do anything...

However, Xu Changqing really admires Zhou Yuji.

If Xu Changqing had exchanged roles with him, I'm afraid he might not have done anything better than him!

Zhou Yuji!

No matter how you count it, he is a well-deserved hero and worthy of his fame!

"Why!"

With a deep sigh, Xu Changqing picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine, his eyes gradually becoming cold.

Although Zhou Yuji's death was expected, the situation at this time was completely different from that in history. Xu Changqing must also more accurately judge the situation and re-establish the strategic policy.

It's only early September now.

Although it has started to snow in the north, the problem is not big. According to the speed of the refugee army, anything can happen!

Xu Changqing's strategy of trying to temporarily recuperate in Kaifeng is no longer feasible.

Now, except for Datong and Baoding, other places are almost as unprepared as guards.

Although Emperor Chongzhen mobilized Tang Tong from Miyun, Bai Guangen from Jizhen, and Liu Zeqing from Shandong and other troops to go to the capital to serve the king, the orders of the Model Army to serve the king were one after another, but in the current situation, the position of Tang Tong and Bai Guangen is really hard to say.

In history, these two guys have rebelled faster than the other.

Not to mention Liu Zeqing, will he go

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

All are two different opinions.

Xu Changqing and the Model Army could only rush to the capital as soon as possible!

However, there is also the biggest problem here and a fatal disadvantage!

If the Model Army rushed to the capital and the refugee army began to drag it up, the food and grass of the Model Army would not be guaranteed.

"Bang!"

After thinking for a long time, Xu Changqing slapped the table hard and decided to rush to the capital as soon as possible!

Even if it is difficult, it still needs to be solved!

If the refugees were allowed to do the rhythm like this, it would be really not fun and even more unplayable.

...

After determining the strategic policy, Xu Changqing did not stop in Kaifeng, and directly crossed the Yellow River from Kaifeng, turned east, walked to the Grand Canal, and headed straight to the direction of the capital.

However, Xu Changqing also maximized the resources in Kaifeng, and took away all the food and grass that could be taken away. He also collected more than 2,000 carts of various types and seven or eight thousand civilians from Kaifeng.

These people will follow the Model Army and train while walking.

With Xu Changqing's reputation and influence in Kaifeng, these selected civilians are happier than winning the lottery, and it doesn't take much effort to control them.

However, as soon as Xu Changqing arrived in Jining, the bad news came again...

There was a city where the inside and outside cooperated with each other, Baoding fell overnight, and Governor Yang Wenyue committed suicide to his country...

This is even more terrifying than the Siberian cold wave. It froze the entire Ming Dynasty before winter begins...

"Alas, what's wrong with the world..."

Jining City, Yansheng Gong Kong Yinzhi had just come to visit Xu Changqing, and when he heard the bad news, his old face turned pale and almost couldn't hold the teacup.

Xu Changqing was also a little helpless, both of them were sons of the plane.

But after all, the Ming Dynasty was completely terrible from the root. Emperor Chongzhen had only a good hand, but he played a bad game...

"Master, we probably don't have time to reminisce about the past. What do you think about food and grass?"

Xu Changqing really had no time to talk to Kong Yinzhi at this time, so he stared at his eyes and got to the point.

"Brother, this, this..."

Kong Yinzhi couldn't help swallowing with difficulty, and was a little afraid to face Xu Changqing's power.

Unlike Emperor Chongzhen who always acted as an airtight when he borrowed money, Xu Changqing now borrowed food and grass from Kong Yinzhi, and he had no fancy words at all. He just said, "Borrow or not!"

However, even if Kong Yinzhi dared to shirk responsibility to Emperor Chongzhen, how could he dare to make trouble in front of Xu Changqing?

He deeply understood that the master in front of him could overturn the table and curse at any time.

Although their old Kong family has no worries about the next family, if they offend the master in front of them, who can guarantee that the Kong family can survive until that time?

Even if Dashun is to be investigated in the future, it will be too careless.

After a moment, Kong Yinzhi shivered with difficulty: "Brother, my Kong family is willing to pay 100,000 stones of food and grass!"

"Ha ha!"

Xu Changqing couldn't help laughing, stood up, patted Kong Yinzhi on the shoulder hard: "Master, soon, you should understand how wise your decision is! By the way, Master, you send someone to send me food and grass. Remember, the depletion is yours."

"I……"

Kong Yinzhi wanted to vomit blood, but in the face of Xu Changqing's tyranny of the dragon and tiger steps, he could only nod his head obediently.

...

The Grand Canal in Jining has not been frozen yet, so it is much easier to transport food and grass and heavy weapons.

Although there are already signs of freezing in Cangzhou, the model army's method of breaking the ice at this time is not a big problem.

On the other side of the refugee army, the northern line was already under the city of Datong, and the eastern line was almost at the edge of the capital.

They did not rush to siege the capital, but began patiently

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Digested their harvest.

Xu Changqing soon received news that the reason for this was that the Tang Tong troops of Miyun had already arrived at the capital of the capital should also be an important reason.

After all, the capital city has high walls and thick walls, it can be said to be the number one in Asia, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the world's number one. The refugee army seems to be very motivated at this time, but there are also many hidden dangers. Even if Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin and others can't see it, Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing and others will not see it.

Xu Changqing didn't know if Emperor Chongzhen summoned his second brother-in-law Wu Sangui, but with Wu Sangui's shrewdness, he would definitely not move without thinking.

However, although Jinzhou was in front of him at this time, the Qing army...

Even Xu Changqing was a little afraid to think about it for a moment.

With the intelligence system of the Qing army in the Ming Dynasty, how could Dorgon miss such a god-given opportunity...

...

In the mid-September, time has come to the end of mid-September.

Xu Changqing's pioneer has arrived in Tongzhou!

At this time, Tang Tong's troops had arrived for nearly half a month, and Bai Guangen's pioneer also arrived. Liu Zeqing had to slow down. He also had a good reason. All the ships along the coast were requisitioned by Xu Changqing.

As Xu Changqing's troops arrived in Tongzhou, the main forces of the refugee army also arrived in Huailai and Zhuozhou respectively.

Different from history, Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin and others fully listened to Niu Jinxing's suggestions and still had more than one million troops!
