“…… In the coastal direction, the closer our army is to Tianjin Sanwei, the more likely it is to face a sudden counterattack by the enemy, and Henan is even more so, not to mention that the main force in the hands of the enemy chief Azig is still there, and there are more than 100,000 troops of Wu Sangui who are eyeing the tiger, and 40,000 cavalry under his command, known as 60,000 Guanning iron cavalry, once they attack the border of Henan, with tens of thousands of tired divisions of the King of Jin, I am afraid that they will not be able to stop it, not to mention that there are Kaqam and other Qing troops surrounding ....... ”

Zhu Youlang was still smiling.

Wu Zheng thought he had listened and continued: "...... The Northern Expeditionary Army of Haizhou and Andong Wei is also at the end of its strong crossbow and urgently needs to rest, and the same is true in the direction of Xuzhou and Yanzhou...... In my opinion, Your Majesty should order the King of Jin to return to Huguang to rest and recuperate, and then plan the Northern Expedition after recuperating and stabilizing the hearts of the people of Huguang. ”

Zhu Youlang laughed, shook his hand and said, "King Wu is too cautious. ”

Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment, "What does Your Majesty mean by this?" ”

Zhu Youlang looked at Wu Zheng with a smile, and after a long time, he said to Wu Zheng with a hint of pride: "What King Wu said is very ...... But I already have plans for this. ”

Wu Zheng was surprised, "Dare to ask Your Majesty...... What kind of arrangements have been made, can you say so? ”

Zhu Youlang flicked the sleeves of his robe, a sword in his hand, and asked who is the hero in the world, "There is no need to hide it from King Wu, Wu Sangui has sent people to beg me several times to allow him to return to the Ming Dynasty...... Originally, I thought that this thief was too evil to be allowed...... However, at the moment, as King Wu said, the situation is grim, so I have already agreed to Wu Sangui's request for ....... ”

Wu Zheng was shocked, Wu Sangui was two-faced and stabbed, Wu Zheng was not unaware, Ma Shiying reported to himself, Wu Sangui sent people to Hangzhou Mansion several times, wanting to have a private meeting with Wu Zheng.

But Wu Zheng has always hated this big traitor, and he didn't even agree to see the envoy in person.

Now listening to Zhu Youlang's meaning, Wu Sangui also sent a messenger to the Yongli Dynasty, which is the egg scattered into different baskets, which is really in line with Wu Sangui's heart.

But Wu Zheng couldn't taunt Zhu Youlang in person, so he could only knock on the side and say: "Wu Sangui can return to the Ming, which is naturally a good thing, after all, it may not be bloody, so that more than 100,000 horses can change their banners and fight back, which will also be of great help to the entire Northern Expedition...... It's just that Wu Sangui has always been two-faced, and it's no secret that he has a heart of separation...... If his return is a conspiracy, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Zhu Youlang's eyes flashed, and he felt that Wu Zheng was jealous, envious, and deliberately provoking.

That's right, the Yongli Dynasty has more than 300,000 Western troops, and if you add Wu Sangui's more than 100,000 horses, it will be more than 500,000 troops.

This is more than 100,000 Beijing troops, 80,000 forbidden troops and 200,000 Northern Expeditionary troops of the Jianxing Dynasty.

Since Wu Zheng refused to accept the olive branch he threw over, he naturally didn't want to see Wu Sangui lead the army into the Yongli Dynasty.

This is very important for the success of the Northern Expedition in the future and the competition for the throne between the two dynasties.

Zhu Youlang said with a smile: "What King Wu said is not unreasonable...... However, I feel that now that the king is heading north, Wu Sangui also thinks that the Qing court has not many lifespans, as King Wu said, this person has always been two-faced, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, so it is reasonable for him to be determined to return to the Ming Dynasty...... I have made up my mind to extend the title of King of Pingxi, and when the time comes, King Wu's Northern Expeditionary Army will be in the east, and the Great Western Army will go straight to the middle of the abdomen, and Wu Sangui's department will advance from Shanxi to the east, and the three roads will be combined, and the battle can be completed! ”

Looking at Zhu Youlang's calm and calm expression, Wu Zheng was really irritable in his heart.

You said that it is enough to crown Sun Kewang as the king of Qin, and then crown Wu Sangui as the king of Pingxi, what is this called?

In one dynasty, two big traitors became two princes, where did Li Dingguo go?

This is not a matter of Li Dingguo, but about the morale of 300,000 soldiers of the Great Western Army!

When the Qing army went south, people abandoned their previous suspicions, and loyally and courageously helped you establish and stabilize the Yongli Dynasty.

Wu Zheng didn't need to guess to understand Zhu Youlang's intentions, it was nothing more than wanting to divide power, Li Dingguo's power in his hands was too great, in fact, it was equivalent to a regent in the Yongli Dynasty.

But the division of power should not be divided like this, let the two big traitors divide Li Dingguo's military power, and let those soldiers of the Great Western Army who sacrificed their lives and forget their deaths, how can they be embarrassed?

But Wu Zheng couldn't say these words.

After all, he is a foreign minister, this kind of thing is a taboo thing that the people of the dynasty say, Wu Zheng wants to say it, it will definitely get darker and darker, and Li Dingguo and Wu Zheng also have a son-in-law's righteousness, how can they avoid suspicion?

Looking at Zhu Youlang's thin face, Wu Zheng felt inexplicably bored in his heart, and his original favor suddenly disappeared.

"Now that Your Majesty has made up my mind, I will not repeat it...... In this rescue mall, our army suffered heavy casualties, and the total casualties of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Jianyangwei, and Zuo Battalion exceeded 20,000. ”

Zhu Youlang's original smiling face was stunned, he met Wu Zheng's direct gaze, and replied with some squeak: "This ...... I can compensate the wounded and wounded, and reward the ...... of money, rice, and money. ”

Wu Zheng asked: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, where is Qian Mi?" And what scale should be used for the pension, is it according to the scale of the Great Western Army, or according to the scale of the Northern Expeditionary Army? ”

Zhu Youlang was silent, the difference between these two standards is not half a point, it can be said that the difference is one or two times.

Besides, does the Yongli Dynasty have the strength to do so?

said that there was a treasury, but Zhu Youlang said that "all military and political matters are decided by the words of the King of Jin", how much rice can he transfer.

That's 20,000 people.

waited for Zhu Youlang for a long time, but Zhu Youlang did not make it clear.

Wu Zheng didn't want to wait any longer, and said, "I have an idea...... I just don't know if I should talk about it? ”

Now Zhu Youlang came to the spirit, "King Wu, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

"The cities of Shenqiu, Xiangcheng, Xincai, and Gushi occupied by our army are under the jurisdiction of our dynasty, so they can be regarded as pension money and food."

This is ripping off! Zhu Youlang listened, his face suddenly darkened, he was willing to risk the arrow stone to drive the expedition in person, mainly to prevent the Northern Expeditionary Army from having the opportunity to enter the boundaries of Huguang and Henan.

But now, Wu Zheng put forward a proposal of who will recover the city, if this is agreed, in the future to recover Henan, there will be a situation of the two dynasties dividing the land, and even the Jianxing Dynasty may occupy more, because in this battle Li Dingguo's Western army suffered more casualties, as high as more than 30,000 people, and two generals were captured, and they have not yet been redeemed.

And the Northern Expeditionary Army sounds like the casualties are also large, but most of them are the people along the road that Liu Fang is confused about, and the casualties of Jianyangwei and Zuoying are not large, which is equivalent to a new force.

Zhu Youlang thought of this and said, "This matter is very important...... I also ask King Wu to be calm and not impatient, and after I have discussed with the King of Jin and the King of Qin, I will give King Wu a clear answer...... How is it? ”

Wu Zheng smiled in his heart, got up and saluted: "Then the foreign minister will wait for His Majesty's good news." ”
