Because of the deliberate restraint of the refugee army, many of the favorable situation at this time were towards the Ming army. In addition, Xu Changqing was the host, and the atmosphere of the banquet was still very pleasant.

After the banquet, the other generals dispersed, and only Xu Changqing, Zuo Liangyu and Yang Wenyue were left in the wide tent.

Xu Changqing picked up the wine glass and smiled and signaled to Zuo Liangyu and the others: "Shipman Zuo, Lord Yang, you must have known the current situation, which is still very beneficial to us. The thieves seem to be powerful, but they have been unable to attack Kaifeng. I have been in contact with Kaifeng City, and their food and grass can last for more than two months. On the contrary, the thieves robbed all the way, with a large population but no supplies. Their pressure is far greater than that of us!"

Zuo Liangyu and Yang Wenyue looked at each other without saying a word, but turned to Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing smiled: "In front of you two, Changqing can only be considered a junior. Some words should not be said by Changqing. However, we have all come to Kaifeng battlefield and are also considered people on the same boat. Therefore, Changqing hopes that in this battle, we all can unite in the outside world, let go of some confusion, and take down the general trend first!"

As soon as Xu Changqing said this, Zuo Liangyu and Yang Wenyue's faces changed.

This is not the first time the two of them have worked together, so they naturally know what the other party is. This is originally a tacit secret. However, no one of them expected that Xu Changqing would put this matter on the surface at this time, and it was obviously full of bad habits.

Zuo Liangyu suddenly smiled: "Zhongyi Bo's words are very good. We are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty. We share the worries of the country and be loyal to the country. We are all our duty. In this battle, I, Zuo, will definitely do my best!"

Yang Wenyue was a little stagnant for a moment. He couldn't understand the meaning of Xu Changqing and Zuo Liangyu. He smiled, but was not in a hurry to express his opinion.

Xu Changqing smiled: "Mr. Yang, Changqing accidentally learned that there was a slight misunderstanding between Lord Yang and Zuo Shuai. I wonder if Lord Yang can give Changqing a thin face and give up some details for the time being?"

Seeing Yang Wenyue's expression changed, Xu Changqing smiled slowly and said, "If this battle is won, Changqing can guarantee that Lord Yang will not be less than the heads of the old thieves' camp!"

Yang Wenyue's pupils suddenly shrank.

Although the head of the old camp soldiers of a level 1,000 thieves is not a great achievement, it is definitely not a minor achievement. If it is true as Xu Changqing said, then it may be difficult for him to enter the cabinet temporarily, but he will definitely be able to rank first.

It should be noted that at this time, there were very few civil officials who truly knew about military forces and could lead troops.

If Yang Wenyue can get a share of the pie in this battle, he will undoubtedly be a golden body!

After a while, Yang Wenyue looked at Xu Changqing's eyes: "Boy Zhongyi, I don't know how I should trust you?"

Xu Changqing laughed: "Don't worry, Lord Yang, in this game, the main defense line is my model army and Zuo Shuai. Lord Yang only needs to go to the western front to undertake part of the auxiliary defense tasks, only defend but not attack. I wonder what Lord Yang thinks?"

Yang Wenyue was still a little hesitant, and for a moment he couldn't understand why Xu Changqing put such a good thing on his head, but he still didn't let it go.

Xu Changqing was still not anxious at all and continued: "Mr. Yang, Zuo Shuai, no matter what you two think, I, Xu Changqing, hope that the Ming Dynasty can revive. And I am willing to give everything for it! Therefore, not being by Xu's side is Xu's enemy!"

...

Back in the temporary tent next to the dock, Zuo Liangyu's back felt a little chilling.

He had known for a long time that Xu Changqing had a humble state and had never been a good person to walk through the road until now, but he never expected that Xu Changqing would dare to be so tyrannical, and even more courageous!

He seemed to be hitting Yang Wenyue, but he didn't mean to hit himself?

If it weren't for seeing it with your own eyes, Zuo Liangyu wouldn't believe it at all. This was done by a young man who was not yet in his prime...

He was not afraid of Xu Changqing.

Although Xu Changqing was famous at this time, Zuo Liangyu understood very well that Xu Changqing's foundation was too thin to pose a threat to him.

However, Zuo Liangyu believed that Xu Changqing's courage to carry a huge burden on him would never be able to do it.

Moreover, Xu Changqing's measurement really shocked Zuo Liangyu.

He promised Zuo Liangyu with his life that if he wins this battle, the first contribution will definitely be from their Zuo family.

"It seems that Mengmei's move seems to be not wrong."

After a while, Zuo Liangyu suddenly smiled and murmured.

At this time, Zuo Mengmei walked in with a bowl of sober soup and smiled sweetly, "Father, let's have some sober soup."

As he said that, he carefully blew the sobering soup and tasted the temperature. Seeing that it was right, he handed it to Zuo Liangyu.

Even though Zuo Liang's heart was as firm as iron, he couldn't help but calm down at this time and smiled and said, "Mengmei, are you doing well these days? Then Xu, then Uncle Zhongyi didn't bully you, right?"

Zuo Mengmei's pretty face turned red, and Yingying smiled and said, "No, father, he, he treats me very well."

As he said that, he helped Zuo Liangyu press his shoulder well.

After drinking the sobering soup, Zuo Liangyu sighed: "Good girl, don't worry, dad won't let you suffer grievances! Also, if Bo Zhongyi bullies you, you must tell dad!"

...

As Zuo Liangyu and Yang Wenyue's main forces arrived in Zhuxian Town in turn and began to gradually build camps, the Ming army's defense line in Zhuxian Town was filled with backbone and gradually began to stabilize.

But Xu Changqing understood very well that even if he spent some means to temporarily stabilize Zuo Liangyu and Yang Wenyue, it was just the beginning.

The main force of the Ming army seems to be quite large, but the defensive structure may be barely maintained, but it is almost impossible to attack.

Because it is difficult for Zuo Liangyu, Yang Wenyue, or Xu Changqing to take the initiative to attack the main force of the refugee army.

But now that things have come to this point, Xu Changqing can only keep it to the point of maintaining it.

Although this dilapidated house in the Ming Dynasty is about to collapse, it can finally shelter from the wind and rain. Once this dilapidated house really collapses, you can't even find a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

June 27th.

Ding Qirui finally arrived near the war zone.

However, the strategic goals of the migrant army had basically been achieved at this time and was not so friendly to Ding Qirui's troops.

On that day, the Hu Dawei's forward had just arrived more than ten miles west of Zhuxian Town when he was attacked by Hao Yaoqi's troops in the refugee army.

Fortunately, Hu Dawei was quite a bit of a foundation. After hundreds of casualties, he retreated from the offensive of the refugee army.

But from then on, the nightmare of Ding Qirui's tribes also began.

In the next few days, as their main force became closer to the war zone, the harassment offensives of the refugee army were wave after wave, just like a fly, and had no choice but to ask for help from Xu Changqing and his troops in Zhuxian Town.

After receiving the news, Xu Changqing and Yang Wenyue quickly rushed to the large tent of Zuo Liangyu's tribe in Zhuxian Town to discuss matters.

The three of them reached an agreement at this time, and were implicated by interests.

In the big tent, Zuo Liangyu sat on the tiger-skin throne of the main seat without permission.

Xu Changqing sat on the left head.

Yang Wenyue, who was a civil servant, could only be ranked in the right position at this time.

This is also impossible.

Zuo Liangyu was the largest military leader at this time, with more than 100,000 people under his command, and Xu Changqing was Zhongyi Bo, whose reputation shocked the world. Yang Wenyue only had a few thousand soldiers who could fight at this time, so even if he was unhappy, he had to pinch his nose and endure it.

"Brother, Lord Yang, how do you two think about this?"

Zuo Liangyu frowned a little and looked at Xu Changqing and Yang Wenyue.

At this point, how could he not know the intention of the refugee army? This is the refugee army deliberately inventing internal conflicts within the army.

He actually regretted it a little, a little too aggressive, and felt very unsafe. He shouldn't have been involved with the crazy man Xu Changqing so deeply.

But it was already on the boat at this time, so it was too late to say anything.

Yang Wenyue would definitely not talk much at this time.

His troops are on the Western Front. If they want to go to rescue, it must be his troops. How could he shoot himself in the foot?

If Xu Changqing and Zuo Liangyu really want him to go, it will be a time to tear him apart.

Xu Changqing thought for a while and said, "The rescue must be saved, but it does not necessarily mean that troops are sent. With Changqing's opinion, the Northwest Army can set up camp in front of the battlefield and defend first."

Zuo Liangyu narrowed her eyes.

Yang Wenyue also frowned a little, not quite understanding what Xu Changqing meant.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Xu Changqing smiled: "Supervisor Zuo, Lord Yang, you don't have to send you the main force. Our three departments just need to send nights and don't stop and try their best to coordinate the war on the Western Front. The refugee army seemed to be huge at this time, but in fact, there were many hungry people and they did not go to the core of the old camp. They did not want to block the Northwest Army on the Western Front. It's no wonder they want to harass and seduce us and make us tired. At this time, we must hold on! The refugee army is much more anxious than us!"

Zuo Liangyu and Yang Wenyue both nodded.

After a moment, Zuo Liangyu smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then do this. However, you have to trouble Mr. Ding to explain this matter personally, otherwise, it would be bad if there is any misunderstanding."

Xu Changqing nodded: "Of course, I will try my best to explain this matter to Ding."

...

Xu Changqing's handwritten letter was quickly delivered to Ding Qirui's big tent.

But after Ding Qirui read it, he asked his staff to read it directly in the tent. Hu Dawei slapped the table on the spot after hearing it.

"The governor, you are too bullying, too bullying! I just don't accept it for a few nights. Can you kill hundreds of thousands of troops of thieves? This Xu Changqing is so righteous. I think he is just a despicable villain! He is more beautiful than anyone else's!"

Deputy General Gao Jie also frowned and said, "Governor, this is treating our Qin army as an outsider. It's like this before it even started. How can we fight this next battle?"

"Yes, Governor, this is really a bully."

The generals in the tent immediately finished the attack.

Ding Qirui frowned and his fingers kept changing.

Before, he had a good feeling about Xu Changqing. During this period, Xu Changqing's night time has been helping them collect information, allowing them to avoid a lot of losses.

But at this time, Xu Changqing actually asked them to form a camp in the last battle and push them to Zhuxian Town. What is he trying to do? Is it consuming their physical strength in vain?

Especially this kind of "slightness" made Ding Qirui feel extremely uncomfortable.

It should be noted that he is the commander-in-chief of this battle, but now Xu Changqing is actually pointing fingers at him, the commander-in-chief?

Do you really think that if you are granted a lord, you can be lawless?

This also made Ding Qirui feel a little reluctant and asked his staff to read Xu Changqing's letter.

However, there have been many changes in it.
To be continued...
