Chunni's arrival undoubtedly made Xu Changqing's life more bright.

Although Xu Changqing can occasionally make some jokes with Zhang Baozhu over the years, it is impossible for him to let go of all the reasons.

I don’t have this kind of concern for Chunni’s “little pepper” Xu Changqing.

On the surface, the two of them respect each other as if they were in private, but once they had a chance, they would occasionally fight head-on like Mars hitting the earth, and they would fight head-on.

Xu Changqing didn't know how to explain this kind of psychology for a moment, but a great god in later generations used his son's mouth to speak out a new world...

Father: "If you don't play with the Transformers I bought for you for 500 yuan, why should you steal the toys for other children for 5 yuan?"

Son: "Because, because I haven't played..."

...

Time is coming to mid-April.

The weather has slowed down these days, and there are no more rainy days, and the strategic intentions of the Qing army have become clearer and clearer.

They just stuck the core of the Model Army's advance to Yangzhou, but they also let go of the Jiangan Wharf to lead the Model Army's retreat at this time.

But in this wide area, there are countless Qing army cavalry.

Obviously, they really want to break through the model army!

How could Xu Changqing fall into this straightforward trap of "three sieges and one missing"?

Since the Qing Dynasty wants to continue carrying it, let’s carry it together!

At noon, the sun was warm, and the many faint green grasses in the fields were almost wilted by the sun.

In the big tent, Wang Anshan was reporting today's latest information to Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing's previous judgment was still very accurate. On continuous rainy days, unhygienic diet and water, including injuries and diseases caused by the war between the two sides, had begun to cause a certain amount of epidemics in the Qing army.

They have been rampant everywhere in the past few days and have arrested many doctors from all over the country.

Unfortunately, this epidemic is still too weak, and I am afraid it can only be considered an influenza cold, and it is not as good as the Qing army's troops.

Moreover, the Qing army was quite experienced in handling this matter and was directly isolated!

If it is heavy, it will be destroyed directly.

This made Xu Changqing speechless. Although this thing is simple and crude, the effect is excellent.

Things still have to return to normal track.

However, the situation is no longer optimistic about the Model Army!

By this time, the horse meat of tens of thousands of war horses had been eaten. Although the firewood problem was partially solved after the weather warmed up, the town basically had everything that could be burned, and the surrounding area was like a plate that had been licked...

If you don’t get any new supplements, you will be afraid that you will use the hot air balloon to store charcoal fire.

What does it mean to eat, drink, defecate and urinate every day?

After reporting, Wang Anshan hesitated for a moment and said respectfully: "Master-in-chief, we are ahead of twenty-two or three miles northeast. There is a small town called Wujia Town. Now Liu Liangzuo's troops from the Han Army Banner are stationed. The number of people is less than 10,000, and they have not been destroyed. Why not, let's find an opportunity to kill directly. If we occupy this Wujia Town, we might be able to make some war horses, mules and horses, and firewood can be solved..."

Xu Changqing looked into his eyes.

Wang Anshan did not dare to face Xu Changqing's gaze, and quickly lowered his head respectfully.

Xu Changqing touched his chin and did not rush to express his opinion.

Wang Anshan is already considered a conservative in the model army sequence, but at this time, he is a little unbearable. It can be imagined that the current situation of the army.

To a large extent, his strategy is not bad.

The old saying goes: "Tree moves to die, people move to live."

If the Model Army shows new big moves at this time, the Qing army will inevitably become nervous, and the overall deployment will probably be disrupted.

But the core of the problem is that even if this can relieve part of the model army, it will not solve the core problem and will not be able to seriously damage the main force of the Qing army, which is similar to drinking poison to quench thirst.

Thinking about it for a while

Son, Xu Changqing smiled and threw a cigar to Wang Anshan, kicked him in the butt with anger and said, "What? You can't hold back now?"

Wang Anshan took the cigar and smiled on his face. He was kicked by Xu Changqing. The smile on his face couldn't help but become even worse. He said like a grievanced young wife: "Master, our model army has been so many years, and has never been so wronged? Find an opportunity to fight the Tartars. Otherwise, the brothers will be almost suffocated..."

...

After comforting Wang Anshan, watching the guy leave with briskly steps, Xu Changqing also lit a cigar, immersing himself in the clouds and mist, and starting to sort out his thoughts again.

At this moment, one moves the whole body!

The huge base of 100,000 female slaves in Han people determines that the Model Army may not have a few chances of assault, and it also means that either if you don’t do this, you must gain something if you want to do it!

Xu Changqing originally planned to spread some illusions, making the model army do it as if it was exhausted from ammunition and food, and let the Qing army take the initiative to attack and find opportunities.

But at this time, the Qing army's strategy was very clear. If you can not fight head-on with the model army, you will not fight head-on with the model army.

This makes the model army more passive.

However, to a large extent, what Xu Changqing wants is exactly this result!

Experts fight, in a small way!

What's more, this is such a large-scale showdown?

If you cannot see the weakness of the Model Army, there will be no flaws on the Qing army.

To put it bluntly, over the years, the sharpness of the Qing army has been basically polished by the Model Army. There is no specific environment. If you don’t attack the capital, you will touch the core interests of Zhen Manchu. Even the main force of Zhen Manchu may not dare to fight the Model Army, let alone these slaves of the Han army flag?

In fact, during these days, the hot air balloon troops of the Model Army have had the opportunity to sneak attack the Qing army. There were several opportunities that were even good, but they were all rejected by Xu Changqing.

For these Han military flag servants, there is also a relatively complex relationship chain involved.

The most critical point of the struggle is that the attack cannot be expanded!’

Should these Han military flag servants die?

Definitely damn!

I'm afraid it's not unfair to die dozens of times or even a hundred times.

Even though they surrendered to the Qing Dynasty for many reasons, over the years, as hawks of the Qing Dynasty, they have done so much despicable things, and everyone's hands are basically covered with blood.

But can they be killed?

cannot!

If the Model Army showed a stance to kill them all - even if it could win a part of the victory, it would definitely force the Han army flag to the side of the Qing Dynasty.

Even the entire Jiangbei will be in chaos.

This is something that Xu Changqing would never accept.

This is the world.

It is not black or white, and the two sides of gray are the norm, and these grays account for not much of them.

This means that Xu Changqing wants to take an extremely subtle balance point.

However, Dorgon and the others obviously expected this situation. The camps in Zhen Manchu were all seventy or eighty miles away, or even more than a hundred miles away...

After a while, Xu Changqing didn't think much about it, so he cleaned up and went out to patrol the camp.

The sun outside is very good, and it is already a bit hot.

But looking at it, there was basically no green in the model army camp, and the grass was almost eaten by mules and horses. Even the sheds made of wood in the women's camp were replaced by rough houses at this time.

In this kind of weather, except for the boys who are on duty outside, most of the others stay in tents and rough houses.

"You have to make a choice."

Xu Changqing squinted his eyes and murmured.

But Xu Changqing understood more clearly that the more you are, the more you should be calm. Only in this time can you touch the gracefulness of heaven and hell at the same time.

.

Unconsciously, he came to the women's camp, and Xu Changqing soon heard a burst of giggles.

At this time, in several large unfinished houses, Zhang Baozhu and Chunni were rehearsing with more than 100 carefully selected literary backbones, and some were playing beats with simple instruments.

This made Xu Changqing smile at the corner of his mouth.

Although the Model Army is almost desperate at this time, there is no problem with the Model Army's strong foundation to be able to last for at least ten days and half a month.

If the firewood problem is solved, the problem will not be big for the last one or two months.

Not to mention anything else, just these livestock in the model army are enough to eat for a long time.

However, this is a last resort.

After watching here for a while, Xu Changqing was about to leave, Wang Xi suddenly rushed over and reported: "Master, the contacts in Yangzhou have been restored, and the Shigemen's troops have just sent someone to deliver a letter."

"Oh? Take it."

Xu Changqing took the secret report from Shigemen and looked carefully for a while. The smile at the corner of his mouth couldn't help but become even worse.

In the letter, Shigemen briefly and vaguely introduced the situation in Yangzhou City. On the surface, he seemed to be asking Xu Changqing for help, but in fact he was telling Xu Changqing not to pay attention to them and not to make decisions because of their influence. Even if Yangzhou falls, he must first protect the model army.

This made Xu Changqing feel a little warm.
