Auspicious snow does indicate a good harvest, but it may also be a disaster.

Xu Changqing didn't know what kind of nerves God was. Snowflakes started to float at noon on the first day of October, and it never stopped for five or six consecutive days...

Especially during this period, the model army's path entered the Linqu Mountains...

Don't mention it's sour.

However, although it was very difficult to walk in the mountainous areas in the snow, Xu Changqing did not change his original plan and still chose to take this difficult road, not to go to a smoother road.

This is actually a psychological game.

Xu Changqing did establish his main battlefield on the front line of southern Shandong before, but the reason why the plan was a plan was because it had not been implemented yet.

If we could use this to pull the Qing army to a more suitable position for the model army and wait for work, why not do it?

Moreover, Xu Changqing was not worried about the safety of Jining and Qufu at this time.

Dorgon and his main force should have gathered around Jining at this time. If they want to attack two cities, according to their strength, there is basically no need to spend much effort.

But once Dorgon and his friends took these two cities, Xu Changqing would definitely not go there again.

Xu Changqing wanted to kill the Qing Dynasty.

Why didn’t the Qing Dynasty want to kill Xu Changqing?

I'm afraid Dorgon and the others want to kill Xu Changqing even more than Xu Changqing wants to kill them!

Xu Changqing had already obtained some information at this time. As the weather turned colder, the food and grass of the Qing Dynasty had begun to show signs of fatigue.

...

Due to the continuous heavy snow, it was not until October 11 that Xu Changqing and the main force of the Model Army had just passed Laiwu, and headed towards Qufu at an extremely fast speed like a traveler.

At this time, the Qing army had already surrounded the Model Army, but they were afraid of scaring the Model Army. The Model Army was so scared that they did not dare to go to Qufu anymore. They could only stare at them from afar, and did not dare to make any provocations. They simply acted as the guard of the Model Army, which was almost the same as serving their ancestors.

at the same time.

In the tent of Dorgon under Jining City, the glory of the food crisis has begun to emerge.

"Regent, if this continues, the situation will be extremely unfavorable to our Qing Dynasty... Even though we have gained a lot in the Lianghuai area, this man chewed horses, and these days consumed too much. If we continue, our army's food and grass may be able to last for more than a month, and we must make changes as soon as possible..."

Hong Chengchou had a very serious expression and reported to Dorgon with a face.

The Qing army did gain a lot in the Lianghuai River, but nearly one million people completely lost their productivity and consumed only every day. This effect was amazing.

The key is that the Qing Dynasty was short of population at this time, and it was impossible to leave only the most elite Han slaves like before, and let them die for themselves.

Moreover, as Dorgon gradually began to reuse Han officials, the Han people's voice in the Qing Dynasty became much higher. If they could not handle the population of these two Huai areas well, the orthodoxy of the Qing Dynasty would be questioned, which was something that Dorgon could never accept.

"Mr. Hong, according to your opinion, what will happen to me in the Qing Dynasty at this time? Could it be that I will go to the decisive battle with Xu Changqing now? Are you trying to scare Xu Changqing away directly into Mount Tai? Haha, the woman's opinion!"

Ning Wan, I immediately started to fight.

This is not because Ning Wan, I have no brains and want to destroy Dorgon's platform, because he has learned that Dorgon wants to use Han people, but he has to divide Han people even more, so he is naturally willing to come out to promote Dorgon.

If the Han people under the Qing Dynasty were all the same, then Dorgon would not have any intention to destroy Xu Changqing, and he would probably not be able to sleep well.

"you?!"

"Can you know, if Xu Changqing continues to drag like this, will I, the Qing Dynasty, accompany him to drag like this? If the food and grass in Qing Dynasty are in urgent need of the food and grass, who will guarantee these millions of creatures? Would you rather end me?"

Hong Chengchou couldn't help it anymore. The blue veins on his forehead and neck were swelling, and he glared at Ning Wan.

According to his cunning, he would not be calculating with a real villain like Ning Wan, but at this time, the Qing Dynasty was already facing a life-and-death juncture. If he was not careful, he would destroy everything.

Hong Chengchou didn't expect that the chips he had made to collapse, so he could only do his best.

But I never thought that Ning Wan, a bitch, was so arrogant that she was even more arrogant.

"Oh."

"The master is not worthy of planning!"

Ning Wan, I was obviously in a better state than Hong Chengchou at this time. I snorted coldly and ignored Hong Chengchou at all.

"you……"

Hong Chengchou had the urge to vomit blood for a moment. What's the fucking thing about this...

He was already above the court. When Jian was in the heart of the emperor, he would rather stay as a bitch as a bitch, but at this time, he actually...

Hong Chengchou's intestines were in great pain and he could not control his emotions at all. He finally understood what the old saying "I can't live without committing my own evil deeds."

Back then, in the Ming Dynasty, he was indeed subject to constraints, but at least he should have respect. But at this time, Dorgon was clearly willing to finish his clamor...

"Two, two, don't argue, don't argue anymore. We are all for the Qing Dynasty, and you can say anything well. Lord Hong, please calm down. Lord Ning, you can also calm down. Now, the situation is indeed not optimistic. Xu Changqing is really cunning, we still have to find a way to solve the problem..."

After a while, Fan Wencheng came out to smooth things over.

In fact, if we really want to talk about it, Fan Wencheng is still very capable. He did the work of the "Secretary-General" meticulously, and I am afraid that Xu Changqing will not be able to find fault even if he picks it.

Dorgon also spoke at this time: "What Fan Qing said is right, it is all for the Qing Dynasty. You all have their own reasons. We still have to find a way to solve the problem!"

Hong Chengchou finally received a moment of comfort, and was a little calmer, and hurriedly bowed: "Register, in my opinion, Xu Changqing has left Haicheng's old nest for a long time. Although there are Taishan Mountains in Tai'an Prefecture, there are many mountains, but the time to fight is ripe! We are in a hurry at this time, and Xu Changqing has been out for more than half a month, so his food and grass may not be too full. I think that if my Qing Dynasty had the thunder momentum at this time, it might be better than expected..."

Dorgon nodded slowly and looked at Ning Wan.

Ning Wan, I also admire Hong Chengchou's Qingming in my heart. He was the governor of that time. In terms of execution ability, he was much better than his "keyboard warrior" who could only talk on paper.

But Ning Wan, I also have his arrogance.

He is familiar with history books, military strategy, and his natural keen talent, so he believes that he is very skilled in controlling the overall situation.

This is exactly the case.

Xu Changqing was beyond his reach for his control.

After thinking for a while, Ning Wan said, "Regent, Lord Hong's words do make some sense, and I agree with it. But I want to ask the Regent, do you want to drive Xu Changqing away, or do you want to completely solve the great disaster of Xu Changqing? If the Regent, you just want to drive Xu Changqing away, then I have no words and absolutely obey Lord Hong's strategy. But! If the Regent, you want to truly eradicate Xu Changqing, the biggest disaster of my Qing Dynasty, then Lord Hong, I'm sorry, Shu can only stick to his own opinion! You must pull Xu Changqing to Jining. At least, you must pull him to the surrounding area of ​​Jining!"

“…”

Hong Chengchou immediately frowned tightly.

Ning Wan's words, he couldn't refute for a moment...

Because this is indeed the case...

If the Qing Dynasty sends troops now, 90% of Xu Changqing will go into the Taishan Mountains. In this way, even if Xu Changqing is trapped, it will be difficult for the Qing Dynasty to use the model army with strong firepower.

If you want to truly kill and damage the Model Army, or even annihilate the main force of the Model Army, you can only go to Jining and Qufu.

But there is another problem that must be mentioned, the weather is not good at this time, and the day after this snow is gone, the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty will not be able to show their power, and they have to wait for the opportunity.

This adds a lot of variables.

Hong Chengchou's head felt like it was about to explode.

Although I have a lot of strength all over my body, I just can't use a single thread...

Sony, who had been silent, said at this time: "The Regent, the servant thought that Lord Hong and Lord Ning said everything

It makes sense and feasible. If you are from the perspective of a slave, you are more likely to be more than Lord Hong. After all, our Qing Dynasty was not stable enough at this time, so you should be more stable. But if you think about it carefully, I want to fight hard like Lord Ning. This opportunity is really rare..."

Sony's words seemed to be helping Hong Chengchou and giving Hong Chengchou face, but deep down, he obviously supported Ning Wan.

He was a true Manchu, and his hatred for Xu Changqing had reached an unparalleled level.

If you have the chance to get rid of Xu Changqing at this time, you will never suffer any future troubles. No matter how much the price you pay, it will be worth it for a real Manchu like Sony.

Although Dorgon didn't say anything, he didn't say anything just showed his attitude.

The Qing Dynasty did lack manpower.

We must take good care of the feelings of these reused Han officials.

but!

Compared to being able to destroy Xu Changqing, what kind of dog do these Han ministers and Han slaves are?

After a while, Dorgon concluded: "Since that's the case, let's wait a little longer! Let's... limit it to ten days. If Xu Changqing still hasn't left the Taishan Mountains in ten days, we will send troops immediately! If he comes out, we will implement the original plan!"

"twitter……"

...

Xu Changqing naturally didn't know the core of Dorgon and his internal military discussions. However, as many more accurate information from the front were transmitted one after another, Xu Changqing also had a clearer grasp of the current status of the Qing army.

This cold winter, to be precise, is an extremely important watershed for the Ming and Qing dynasties!

Anyone who can grit his teeth and survive, the coming year will surely be a brand new world.

But if you can't stand it...

That consequence is disastrous.

It’s okay for the Qing army to have decades of foundation and countless true Manchus as support, and there is still a chance to lose if it fails.

But once the Model Army makes a mistake and is caught by the Qing army, the foundation that Xu Changqing has accumulated over the past few years will collapse.

"Changqing, Qufu City has been asking for help again. Liu Liangzuo has been sieging the city for three consecutive days. Qufu City has suffered heavy losses. If he does not receive support, he may not be able to hold on..."

On the banks of the Dawen River.

Model Army camp.
To be continued...
