Of course, the two of them didn't realize anything else at this time, they were just wondering.

But the two of them quickly moved elsewhere.

If something is abnormal, it will become a monster, and if it is a "monster", it can be caught.

Even if it is not a "demon", if it is said to be a "demon", as long as there are too many people talking about it, it is a "demon".

Moreover, the young Dorbo could tell whether he was a "demon" based on his mind.

Ganglin, Qi Chongge suddenly smiled knowingly, it’s a great opportunity!

"Come!" Ganglin shouted, "Send team members to bring Miss Qingyin back to Ziyang..."

Qi Chongge hurriedly raised his hand and corrected, "No... please."

Lin was stunned, then came over and laughed loudly, "Yes, yes, yes, please... yes, haha... haha..."

....

Wu Zheng, who had just returned to Xinba from Hengyang, received news from Chen Mingxia and Changlin Wei about negotiating with Jirgalang.

After taking a look, Wu Zheng smiled and said to Li Yong beside him, "It's obvious that a dog wants to eat, but he pretends to be a wolf and wants to eat meat... he wants to occupy a high position, but he cares about the past and the future... It seems that he really wants to be the emperor."

Li Yong took Wu Zheng's information, looked carefully, and then replied, "The desires of people are unsatisfied... It was originally Dorgon who was suppressed, but now Dorgon is dead, the emperor is still young, and no one can suppress him anymore."

Speaking of this, Li Yong hesitated for a moment, "But I doubt he would be mysterious... Logically speaking, he was afraid of the two armies of Fengyang Ajige and Yanzhou Dorbo, which is normal. But now no one in the Qing court can check and balance him. Why do he still want us to help in Shuntian Prefecture? This... is a bit unreasonable!"

Wu Zheng smiled, looked at the sky outside the window, and said slowly, "Didn't you say it too? People's desires are hard to calm down... Jirhalang is very ambitious. He wants to both the inside and the outside, and use the king's hand to eradicate Ajige and Dorbo's threat for him, and wants to take both inside and outside, and catch all our inner responses in Shuntian Prefecture."

Li Yong was stunned and asked, "If he really dared to attack our people..."

"He dares not!" Wu Zheng said firmly, "But once the inner responder is exposed, is it still called the inner responder?"

Li Yong suddenly realized that whether it is internal or careful work, it will be useless if it is exposed. People are guarding against him day and night, what else can he do?

"Then... the prince thinks, how should he reply to Chen Mingxia?"

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "No rush... Why should we be anxious? It's not that we are lonely and covetous... Let's leave him alone, and it's not too late to deal with him when he is anxious."

Li Yong smiled and said, "The prince is wise...but if we don't get Jiergalang's cooperation, it will still be difficult to decide the direction of our army's northward advance..."

Wu Zheng shook his hand and said, "Jirgalang should think so too... The enemy still has a lot of capital! But it doesn't matter, the enemy will take the initiative to show us its weaknesses... Ajig, Dorbo, the Qing court... Which one does not have his own little thoughts?"

Li Yong nodded and said, "But in Xuyi, General Chi's pressure... is too great. Should he be dispatched to reinforce...even if he can transfer three thousand people?"

Wu Zheng's face became serious, "Gu really has selfishness. Originally...Gu wanted to sacrifice Guangxinwei as a bait to attract the enemy's attention... Unfortunately, things were not satisfactory, Chi Erhan and the others caught up... Since they caught up, there was no way out."

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng turned around and sighed, as if he was talking to himself, more like convincing himself, "The east-west front is so long, and the enemy's troops are relatively concentrated. If our army exposed the target of the attack, the Qing court could mobilize troops to deal with it calmly, then our army would be trapped in a long war of attrition... Li Yong, we can't afford it!"

Li Yong was silent, and he realized Wu Zheng's inner struggle.

Indeed, let alone the Henan direction, the Qing army's Wu Sangui, Meng Qiaofang, Titicacum, Wang Guangtai and others were eyeing each other, and the three forces were enough to resist the strong attack of the Northern Expedition Army. Moreover, the Qing court's reinforcements were close at a glance. As soon as one of them decreased and the other rose, the balance of strength would be reversed.

If the main attack direction of the Northern Expedition Army is exposed, then the two sides will be in a battle with a consistent strength, and there will be no matter how many people will die. Just talking about the General's Mansion, it is still hard to say whether it can last for the second half of the year.

Although the Jianxing Dynasty was already under the control of Wu Zheng and the cabinet led by Huang Daozhou never shirked the orders of Wu Zheng, the Jianxing Dynasty was not as good as the General's Mansion, and had an army that was almost the same as the Northern Expedition Army to support it. How much help can it provide to Wu Zheng?

Even Wu Zheng did not dare to use Liao Zhongping's left camp because he was worried that if the war failed, Yingtian Prefecture would face Ajige's troops. At that time, it would not be a northern expedition, but a need to mobilize troops to defend the capital.

In fact, Wu Zheng did not have any troops to adjust at this time. It sounded like there were 200,000 Northern Expedition Army. But in addition to the garrisons at the key passes in the south, the real ones were the 50,000 troops of the First Army and the Wusongwei and Taizhouwei, which were on the front line.

Taizhou Guards have been disabled, and Wusong Guards have suffered a lot of casualties.

At this time, I could only make up my mind to persevere and force Ajige to respond with the fierce battles in Xuyi and Sizhou.

Ajige was indeed forced to reinforce Sizhou with his main force, preparing to defeat the Northern Expedition Army first to balance the battle situation in Fengyang.

Unfortunately, Dorbo suddenly became "cowardly".

For Wu Zheng, Dorbo was not a good thing, but a bad thing, because if these 100,000 enemies did not move, they would always be a thunder on the battlefield that could explode at any time.

Therefore, the first army on the north bank of the Yangtze River cannot move at the moment. If it doesn’t move, it’s just moving!

....

Under the city of Xuyi.

Corpse piled up like mountains.

Among them are Manchus and Han people.

There are enemies and people of your own.

The blood stains everywhere on the city walls have dried up into dark red color blocks, and what is more conspicuous is the newly added bright red.

The small town of Xuyi has become a flesh and blood mill.

Up the West Gate Tower.

Chi Erhan, Shi Kun, and Huang Dahong, covered in blood, looked down at the Qing army that retreated like a tide.

The war ended with the commander and the deputy commander went on the battlefield personally, and the bloodiness of the commander was self-evident.

This is the eleventh attack of the Qing army today.

But Chi Erhan's face was still dull, and even there was a hint of excitement in his eyes?

Huang Dahong seemed a little sad. He looked around the tired soldiers on the city wall and whispered, "General Chi, we may not be able to hold on for much time, and the enemy in the west is still increasing, but our army... can fight less than 3,000 people. At most, Xuyi City will be captured tomorrow."
