"The last general will not dare." Lu Zhiyu was aggrieved, but he didn't dare to be tough at this time to anger Wu Zheng.

Fortunately, Wu Zheng did not continue to pursue Lu Zhiyu's intentions, and the key now is to figure out Shen Zhiyuan's true intentions, although he has been bayonet-struck, Wu Zheng still has a trace of obsession in his heart, that is, he expects that Shen Zhiyuan is not as Dolgon said, to be self-reliant. Wu Zheng asked, "What about the yellow camel?" Shouldn't he also change his original intention and become an enemy of this king? ”

Song An shook his head and said, "There are a lot of rumors about the return in the direction of Yancheng, but after all, there is no positive confirmation with Shen Zhiyuan and Huang Huozi...... Not to be believed. If the young master agrees, I will send Lin Wei, the mayor of Yancheng, to contact the two of them head-on....... ”

"Not necessarily!" Wu Zheng said suddenly, "If they are hypocritical, there is no need to expose Yancheng Chief Lin Wei, if they are really ......, why should they give the lives of Chang Lin Wei's soldiers in vain?" They didn't move, did they? ”

"Yes." Song An said, "Shen Zhiyuan's forward is marching north along the Fangong Embankment, probably trying to seize Yunti Pass as a retreat to the north. ”

Wu Zheng really didn't want to believe it, but the facts were there, Shen Zhiyuan did attack the Northern Expeditionary Army in Tongzhou, and caused a lot of casualties, and even coerced Zhou Dahu and Wu Songwei's captured soldiers to retreat north.

Although it is not yet possible to confirm whether Huang Huozi and Zhou Dahu are also defective, since Song An has reconnoitred Shen Zhiyuan's return to the north, it can prove that Shen Zhiyuan has no intention of moving closer to him.

This kind of information is heard in the ears, it really makes Wu Zheng's heart twist like a knife, trust, this thing is too extravagant for the master, Wu Zheng has to face it head-on, if Shen Zhiyuan does defect, how should he deal with it?

But what does this mean to deal with?

Putting aside the friendship between the two, the 30,000 troops under Shen Zhiyuan alone are not something that Wu Zheng can eat in one bite at this time.

"What is the situation in the Xinghua direction?"

Song An replied: "Xinghua is in danger, Yue Le did not lead many troops from Yancheng, but it seems that he was driven out by Shen Zhiyuan...... Fortunately, Xinghua Chi Erhan and Zu Dabi did not continue to march north to Huai'an because of the reinforcements of the First Army, so the garrison of Xinghua City was sufficient, as long as the city was held, and when the follow-up support of the First Army arrived, Yue Le had no other way to go except to retreat north. ”

This is finally good news, although it is still passive, but Wu Zheng is already satisfied, what he is most afraid of is that Chi Erhan is impulsive and launches an active attack on Yue Le's cavalry, then the casualties will be too great.

Wu Zheng turned his head to face Zhang Guowei at this time, "Zhang Gong must have understood, let's not suffer a loss if we fight at this time...... On the contrary, for the enemy, the desire for peace talks will be stronger. It's called ...... Fight for peace! ”

Although Zhang Guowei disagreed in his heart, he always led the people who had led the troops, understood where the key points of the battlefield were, and also understood that Wu Zheng could use war to promote peace and grasp the initiative in negotiations, forcing the Qing court to make greater concessions.

He thought for a moment and replied, "Then please ask the prince to draw a clear line...... Time, place. ”

These words have a bit of a "forced palace" flavor, but Wu Zheng doesn't care, he knows that Zhang Guowei is not selfish, so he smiled and said: "Order Jiang Quanyi, sprinkle the girl for three days, and then order Chi Erhan and Zu Dabi, you have to fight Yue Le a counterattack, if you can make Yue Le suffer a little and capture some war horses, this king will credit them." ”

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng looked at Lu Zhiyu, who was still kneeling on one knee, "General Lu is willing to pursue the poor man?" ”

Lu Zhiyu hurriedly responded: "As long as the prince gives an order, the last general will never say anything." ”

"That's good, gather the army and assault Peixian, you just need to rush forward, you don't have to care about the left and right wings, there is this king to ...... for your royal palace."

"That's a good idea!" Lu Zhiyu smiled.

"But it must be remembered that Pei County is the boundary, and under no circumstances is it allowed to enter the boundary of Yanzhou...... The king didn't want to push the tartar to bite back. ”

"The last general obeys!" Lu Zhiyu replied loudly.

Wu Zheng said to Zhang Guowei: "Time is there, three or five days." The location is also there, with Yanzhou as the boundary...... What does Zhang Gong think? ”

Zhang Guowei asked rhetorically: "What about the Qing court mission, ......?" ”

Wu Zheng said abruptly: "Don't they want to return north?" That's what they want...... Zhang Gong immediately informed them that they should leave Xuzhou City within six hours, otherwise they would bear the consequences. ”

"Okay, I'll do it." Zhang Guowei then hurried away.

Wu Zheng turned his head and said to Song An: "Immediately summon Xia Wanchun and Liao Zhongping, and hold on for another five days...... No, six days. After six days, they were able to withdraw their troops in accordance with the imperial court's orders. ”

Song An hesitated for a moment and said, "But at the same time as the imperial court sent the mission, it had already issued an order to withdraw troops from Hezhou and Chuzhou...... At this time, I am afraid that it will ....... ”

Wu Zheng shook his head confidently and said, "I don't want them to have a big battle with Fengyang Azig, as long as they each have tens of thousands of people stationed in their own homes, and Azig can't go north...... They also explained it very well to the imperial court, saying that it would be enough to retreat in batches. ”

Song An hesitated: "But what if they all withdraw?" ”

Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled: "That's okay, you send an order to Chen Sheng and Fang Guoan, and let him bland and fight in the southeast Tianchang direction of Fengyang...... By the way, what is the current situation of Qian Qiaogong's department? ”

Song An smiled. With a hint of pride, he said, "It really made General Qian take a big advantage, there are only 800 defenders in Sizhou City, and they are still some old, weak, sick and disabled. According to the news, there were more than 3,000 warlike horses in Sizhou City, all of which were given by General Qian. ”

Wu Zheng laughed out loud, nodded Song An and said, "Your kid's bad idea is still crooked...... Ordered Qian Qiaogong to cooperate with Chen Sheng and Fang Guoan's department to try their best to contain Azig and leave me a few days to spare. ”

"Yes."

……。

In the afternoon of the same day, Sukh Saha, Soni and others were expelled from the city.

The horn of war sounded again.

At this time, the delegation of the Yixing Imperial Court finally arrived in Xuzhou.

It's not that the mission is coming too slowly, on the contrary, they are already in a hurry.

From Yingtianfu to Xuzhou Mansion, the distance of thousands of miles, this is still a straight-line distance, if it were not for the two sides of the envoys to plan peace talks, Azig would not open the door of convenience, the mission would have to detour from Yangzhou Mansion, then the time would have been even longer.

The Yixing Dynasty mission was huge, twenty-one.

The main envoy is the then Zongzheng Ling Zhu Cuncao, and there are two deputy envoys, speaking of which, these two people are very famous in later generations, of course, it is not small at the moment - Huang Zongxi, the left deputy capital of the imperial history, and the head of the military department (the Ming and Qing dynasties set up the staff department, and Langzhong was in charge. The Qing Dynasty set up five people and two Han people) Gu Yanwu.

These two people have a great background, they are the backbone of the Donglin Party, and they are as famous as Fu Shan, Wang Fuzhi, etc., and Qian Qianyi, whose scalp is too itchy and the water is too cold, are also close friends earlier, but the character of the two and Qian Qianyi is not the same
