This time, Mang Gurtai only brought back 4,000 soldiers and horses, but Nurhachi did not blame Mang Gurtai.

Because Nurhachi has also clearly realized that there are probably a large number of treasure troops in Ningyuan City, and there are fewer than a thousand, maybe two thousand, three thousand, or even more.

Jiannu already has a clear understanding, as long as there are 2,000 treasure troops guarding the city, Jiannu is 30,000 people may not be moved, even if it can be defeated, it will take ten days and half a month, and people will have to die almost, and there is no point in defeating it.

If you spend tens of thousands of troops to fight for thousands of people, and there are still a large number of treasure troops in Shanhaiguan and southern Liaoning, isn't this tantamount to abusing yourself and rushing to your death?

In this way, Jiannu suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and the Bao army only paid the price of less than 500 dead and wounded.

It stands to reason that Nurhachi should now pack up the remnants and run away.

But this was not the case, Nurhachi brought 67,800 troops, lost more than 10,000, and 56,700 men and horses, nearly 60,000, and did not break his bones.

The two big camps are still there, and it has only been a day's work, and they are gone, and Nurhachi can't hold back this breath!

Moreover, Jiannu has always been not afraid of the treasure army or the Ming army coming out to fight in the field, feeling that only they fight the Ming army, and there is no reason for the Ming army to fight them.

"Which of you is going to persuade him to surrender." Nurhachi asked.

Everyone wondered, this has lost two games in a row, and has lost more than 10,000 troops, persuaded to surrender? Is it the treasure army that persuades us to surrender, or do we persuade the treasure army to surrender?

At this time, how can you have the face to say the word persuasion?

However, the strategists immediately understood Nurhachi's intentions, and it was estimated that the Great Khan wanted people to enter Ningyuan City in person to see the reality of the treasure army and see how many people there were in the treasure army.

In addition, persuasion to surrender can also boost morale, let our side know that the loss is not big, it is still stronger than the strength of the treasure army, even if we want to go, we can go a little decently, we are persuaded to surrender before we withdraw the troops, not defeated.

"What? Does no one dare to go? Raise you so many scribes, now is the time for you to serve. Nurhachi said dissatisfiedly: "I estimate that Wei Bao is very likely to be in Ningyuan City, if Wei Bao is in Ningyuan City, Cong Gulun must also be in Ningyuan City." Let Wei Bao give my daughter back! ”

"Great Khan, Wechen is willing to go." Fan Wencheng plucked up his courage and said.

Fan Wencheng took the initiative to ask for help, it was also a smart move, he had explored the way before, and also told Nurhachining that there were not many defenders in the far city, and said that even if there was a treasure army, there would not be many people in the treasure army.

But now it turns out that there are many treasure troops in Ningyuan City, and if you don't make up for it quickly, Nurhachi is very likely to kill herself in a fit of anger.

Nurhachi nodded: "How are you going to persuade him to surrender?" What are the conditions? ”

"It mainly depends on what conditions Wei Bao proposes, if Wei Bao is really in Ningyuan City, things will be easier. If Wei Bao wasn't there, the people under him wouldn't count, and he would have to send someone to deliver the letter, and it would take a few days to delay the back and forth. Fan Wencheng said.

Nurhachi nodded: "Okay, then you go!" On my behalf, it's okay to talk to Naweibao Xiaoer. This little boy will stay in the capital of the Ming Dynasty for a while, and then run back to Liaodong to cause trouble, which is really nerve-wracking. ”

"Yes, Great Khan." Fan Wencheng gave a salute and then strode away.

"Father Khan, persuade you to surrender, you must bring some gold, silver and jewelry or something, right? Fan Wencheng just went empty-handed? Huang Taiji reminded.

Nurhachi smiled bitterly: "Wei Bao doesn't want those, Wei Bao wants 12 million taels of silver and my Cong Gulun!" Cong Gulun himself ran to Wei Bao's side, Wei Bao now wants 12 million taels of silver, can you take it? ”

Huang Taiji stopped speaking when he heard this.

12 million taels of silver, for Jiannu is nothing, Jiannu is not short of money, these years from Liaodong, Korea, Mongolia, Lian Zhan, Lian Zhan, people, livestock and money, have robbed a lot, are not lacking.

There are more than fifty people at the level of the banner master, and there is no problem for a family to make up 200,000 taels of silver, and there is no need for Nurhachi to pay for the silver himself, he can make up 12 million taels of silver, the key is that this is not a small amount, if such a large amount of silver is taken out, the treasure army will be stronger from now on, and the Eight Banners will be weakened.

It's a question of who wants to give money to the enemy.

"I'm afraid that Fan Wencheng will go and won't come back." Bao Chengxian also reminded.

When everyone heard this, they all felt that it was very possible, and after losing the battle, everyone didn't dare to go, but Fan Wencheng dared to take the initiative to ask for help, and there was a great possibility of surrendering.

Nurhachi frowned, didn't say anything, and was unhappy in his heart.

I know that the Han scholars are jealous and jealous, and the infighting is fierce.

Fan Wencheng ran to the bottom of the city wall of Ningyuan City alone, riding a horse and empty-handed, holding a white strip of cloth, "Don't let go of arrows, don't shoot guns, I'm here to negotiate peace." ”

The defenders at the head of Jiannu City looked at Fan Wencheng, who was about to fall off his horse in the cold wind, and no one paid attention to him.

Fan Wencheng saw that no one cared about him, turned over and dismounted, and wanted to hide from the wind and snow in the city gate cave.

Bang bang!

Two shots were placed on the walls.

"Don't come close! Report name position! The platoon commander of the defenders of the tower shouted.

"My name is Fan Wencheng, and I am the secretary of the Great Khan's account. I'm here to make peace with you, and I'm here to see General Wei Baowei. Fan Wencheng said loudly, not daring to go any further.

When several soldiers of the treasure army at the head of the city heard this, they shouted and cursed one after another.

"The name of our president is your kind of scumbag?"

"Even if you are called according to the Ming Court, you have to be called the lord, how can the president of our family be a general, is there a general in the world who is in charge of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses?"

"Don't talk about the general, it's the Jiliao Governor, who is the commander, but he is in charge of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses."

"What does this dog thing say is Fan Wencheng, when I hear it, it is the name of the Han people, and he is a dog traitor!"

Fan Wencheng was frozen under the city, and he had to be scolded by the soldiers of the Bao Army, and he had no choice but to do it. Love

Baojun still helped Fan Wencheng to pass the word.

From platoon commander to company commander, from company commander to battalion commander, from battalion commander to regiment commander, from regiment commander to brigade commander, the brigade commander of the mixed brigade asked the staff officer to inform the Tan madman.

Crazy Tan didn't dare to slack off, so he let Lin Wenbiao pass the word to him, and Lin Wenbiao personally went to the door of the president's camp and asked President Wei's beautiful secretary to inform Wang Qiuya, and Wang Qiuya informed President Wei.

As soon as President Wei heard that Fan Wencheng came to persuade him to surrender, he smiled: "The wild boar skin is a cow, and after losing the battle, he dared to persuade him to surrender." ”

Wei Bao is in a very good mood now, the purpose of this trip has actually been achieved, whether he has seriously injured Nurhachi, it doesn't matter, it can be claimed that Nurhachi was seriously injured, anyway, there is no way to verify, two siege battles have been fought, and tens of thousands of Jiannu have been killed, which is a real thing.

In other Ming armies, there are superintendents in the army, Wei Jueye's identity is special, Wei Bao is from the Liaodong Chief Army, and Ji Yong, Tu Wenfu and other eunuchs who supervise the army also give Wei Bao face, and they did not send eunuchs to supervise the army in the Bao Army.

In fact, it is useless to send it, and the Baojun will not let the eunuchs live in the army at all.

Wei Bao now also sends silver to the eunuchs, and the amount of money sent can also maintain the original amount, but it will no longer be expanded.

Just follow some powerful big eunuchs, and the little eunuchs below will ignore it, and you can get angry and angry.

"See?" Wang Qiuya asked.

"Let's see it, it doesn't hurt to see it." Princess Zhenming said: "Be careful not to let the Jiannu envoy see our troops. ”

"Well, it's okay to see it, Nurhachi doesn't dare to attack Ningyuan City anymore, it's because I haven't thought about whether to attack him or not now!" Wei Bao Road.

"The president wants to take the initiative to attack Jiannu?" Princess Zhenming asked.

"Well, I haven't thought about it yet, if I take the initiative to attack, the battle will be big." Wei Bao said: "Ningyuan City in the past, now the surrounding areas of Jinzhou have been occupied by Jiannu, it is impossible for Jiannu to sit in Liaodong, they will extend their supply line, they will definitely retreat, if we chase all the way, they will retreat to Yizhou." ”

"If you retreat to Yizhou, this battle will indeed be bigger, and Yizhou is next to the Chahar and Horqin grasslands, and it will be more extensive, Horqin is following Jiannu, although Chahar is not in harmony with Jiannu, but there is no open break, Chahar has always wavered between Daming and Jiannu, when the time comes, if Chahar and Horqin support Jiannu, we will pull 50,000 people from Shanhaiguan over, and then force the troops in southern Liaoning to Jiannu, and they may not be able to eat Jiannu in one bite, and then our supply line will be extended, It's really a war, the two sides are locked together, and no one can move forward, no one can retreat, like two bulls on top of each other, isn't it? "Princess Zhenming's thinking is very clear.

Wei Bao looked at Princess Zhenming with relief, Princess Zhenming was there, although Wu Xuexia was not there, there was no pressure at all, Princess Zhenming was indeed very smart, and the overall situation was very clear.

"That's impossible, I didn't intend to eat Jiannu in one bite at all, and it was impossible to eat it. Even if we can eat it, after eating Jiannu, we will become Jiannu in the eyes of the Ming court. Wei Bao said: "That's not what I need, once we are treated as a slave by the Ming court, we will not have time to develop in the future." The degree to which the Ming court hates us will be more than ten times, more than a hundred times, more than a hundred times, do you understand? ”

"Understand, all dynasties and dynasties have been like this, even small families are like this, hating the inside is far more than the external enemy, many people are incompetent on the outside, and it is very powerful to go home." Wang Qiuya interjected: "My dad is like this. ”

Wei Bao smiled: "That's right, your dad is like this." ”

In fact, Wei Bao doesn't know if Wang Qiuya and his father are like this, because after Wei Bao was reborn, his memory of the past is very vague, but in Wei Bao's impression, most Chinese people are like this, they wilt like a worm outside, and they are like a dragon to their wives and children when they go home.

"So what now? Meet this envoy of the Golden Kingdom? Make peace with them? Isn't the condition still 12 million taels? Princess Zhenming asked.

Wei Bao nodded and said: "That's right, there is no way to change the condition of this 12 million taels of silver, specifically, you can talk to him." ”

"Shall I talk to him?" Princess Zhenming felt that President Wei trusted her very much, "It's not appropriate." ”

"What's inappropriate, you're my woman, what's wrong with me. Let go of the matter of marrying you for a while, but when Jiannu retires, I can send someone to North Korea to make an announcement, our wedding date is set for next year, and when the time comes, I want the whole of Seoul to become our wedding banquet, and North Korea will celebrate together! Wei Bao laughed.

Princess Zhenming blushed and felt that Wei Bao was really good to herself, but hesitated: "It's better not to be so grand, just announce it, I don't want to make such a big show." ”

Princess Zhenming originally wanted to say that she was a married woman, but she was not embarrassed to say it.

In fact, Wei Bao knew what Princess Zhenming thought, and said with a smile: "Anyway, it's next year's business, don't worry, let's do the current things first." ”

"Okay." Princess Zhenming bowed her head and saluted.

Although she has a substantial skin-to-skin relationship with Wei Bao, Princess Zhenming is still as polite as ever.

Princess Zhenming received Fan Wencheng, and Wei Bao went to sleep.

It turned out that when he was at the bottom of society, Wei Bao felt that sleeping was the most beautiful thing, and he was bitter and couldn't get money, and he was looked down upon by everyone, and that kind of day was unforgettable.

Now that Wei Bao is rich and has a huge social status, Wei Bao still likes the sport of sleeping a lot, which is more comfortable than any sport.

Therefore, Wei Bao is now holding Wang Qiuya to make up for sleep, and he had too much trouble with Princess Zhenming last night, and he didn't sleep for a few hours at all.

The snow on Fan Wencheng's body began to melt in the warm room.

It was cold and snowy outside, but the president of Ningyuan City was in the camp, and there were many charcoal fires inside, which was very warm.

There are more than 30,000 people in Ningyuan City for the winter, and now the 6,000 people of the Baojun use it, and they also bring a lot of food, and the materials are very abundant.

The treasure army did not let Fan Wencheng see the troops in the city, but the sufficient material reserves in the city did not hide from Fan Wencheng at all.

Fan Wencheng was wet, looking at Princess Zhenming who was sitting on the main seat, but he didn't expect that it would be a woman to receive him.

Looking at this woman's clothing, Fan Wencheng recognized that it was the clothing habits of the North Koreans, and the clothes were gorgeous, and at first glance she was a nobleman, and she didn't know who this woman was from Wei Bao.

Wei Bao's matter, Jiannu is more concerned, but at most he inquired about whether Wei Bao was added to the official and knighted.

As for the women around Wei Bao and Wei Bao's life, these things can't be inquired about.

Because there are many channels that can be known about major events, it can be learned from Mongolian merchants and Jin merchants who secretly went out of the customs, and it can be learned from the generals of the border army of the Ming army who secretly communicated with Jiannu.

But Jiannu has no way to break the fine work into the treasure army, and there is no way to place people next to President Wei, so naturally there is no way to know the things in President Wei's life.

I don't know who Wei Bao is, and Fan Wencheng doesn't know what to call the young and beautiful North Korean woman in front of him, so he can only say: "I am an envoy of the Jin State, and I want to meet General Wei Bao." ”

After Fan Wencheng finished speaking, he was terrified, and he didn't know what the temper of this beautiful woman was, after all, he often heard that he would kill the messenger when he came up, and if he was killed, he would lose a lot.
