After receiving Zhou Zheng's order, He Kegang of Dongjiang Town and Huang Long of Lushun led the army out of the garrison and campaigned extensively on the Liaodong Peninsula.

Even, a team of 500 people of Huanglong appeared dozens of miles away from Shenyang, as if they were approaching Shenyang, causing Shenyang to panic.

Phoenix, which is very close to Shenyang, in the middle of Liaoning in later generations, the Ming army has not arrived here for many years.

He Kegang stood at the head of the small city and looked at the direction of Shenyang, thinking in his heart when he would be able to lead the army into Shenyang.

Two lieutenants came beside him, and one muttered a little: "My lord, this place is really poor, except for game, there are not even people, let alone other things." ”

Another said: "My lord, Jianyu is basically entrenched in places like Shenyang, Liaoyang, and Fushun, and they don't farm the land, so we can't get any benefits from cleaning up like this......"

The first time Jianyu entered the fortress was forcibly stopped by Zhou Zheng, and he did not get enough people, and he was defeated again and again over the years, and there were not many Ming generals who surrendered to Jianyu, and the population brought with him was sparse, plus some of the methods pursued in the Nurhachi era, there were very few Han people in the north, and even fewer could farm.

He Kegang wiped his face, the cold wind in the northeast made him very uncomfortable, and said: "Tell the soldiers, everything that can be robbed will be robbed, and what can't be robbed will be destroyed!" Let them be careful, try to get as close as possible to Shenyang and Liaoyang, fight if they can, go around and retreat if they can't, we are here to explore the way for Pingliao in the future, don't worry so much. ”

"Yes!" The two lieutenants raised their hands in unison.

On the other side, the Yellow Dragon, coming out of the peninsula, is also constantly testing to the north.

But Jianyu was really too poor, and he was huddled in several cities, and Huanglong wanted to make a 'strong wall and clear the wilderness', but he didn't gain much, so he could only keep going north and make a gesture of threatening Shenyang.

He Kegang and Huang Long did not lead many troops, and they did not really attack Shenyang, they couldn't figure out whether there were hidden troops in Shenyang, so they could only act cautiously.

In the face of Dongjiang Town's actions, Jianyu showed unprecedented restraint, if it was in the past, Shenyang would have already sent troops and horses to encircle and suppress the Ming army.

Fan Wenchen came out of the Huangtaiji camp as promised, crossed the Xiaoling River, and entered Jinzhou.

Zhou Zheng and Fang Yizao received him, Zhou Zheng was quite normal, and Fang Yizao looked at him extremely unkindly.

This person, who was of great help to Jianyu and did a lot of damage to the Ming Dynasty, was a complete traitor.

Fan Wenchen didn't feel it, stood in front of Zhou Zheng, raised his hand with a smile, and said, "Lord Zhou, after more than ten years, how are you doing recently?" ”

Zhou Zheng was an envoy in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, and met this Fan Wenchen once in Shenyang.

Fang Yizao knew, snorted coldly, and said, "What did the thief chief send you to do?" What's the conspiracy? If you don't say you're ugly, don't even think about going back! ”

Fan Wenchen was not afraid, glanced at Fang Yizao, turned to Zhou Zheng again, and said, "Lord Zhou will not keep me, right, Lord Zhou?" ”

Zhou Zheng laughed and said, "I don't have much food in Jinzhou, so I can't waste it." ”

Fang Yizao listened, his brows furrowed, and he didn't speak.

The more smiles on Fan Wenchen's face, and just as he was about to speak, Zhou Zheng said lightly: "I will kill it directly and throw it into the sea to feed the fish." ”

The smile on Fan Wenchen's face suddenly froze, and Fang Yizao laughed.

Fan Wenchen instantly retracted his expression and said with a smile: "I believe that Lord Zhou will not do this." In order to express the sincerity of our emperor's reluctance to see the war, my emperor asked me to bring 20 antiquities, six porcelain, five calligraphy and paintings, as well as one incense burner, one pen holder, one inkstone, and one Buddhist shrine. There are also pearl agate, gold and jade, etc., and please ask Lord Zhou to smile. ”

Fang Yizao's expression changed slightly, and he turned his head to look at Zhou Zheng, constantly making his eyes.

He asked Zhou Zheng to refuse, if this thing was accepted, he would not be able to tell it when he arrived at the court, and the official would drown Zhou Zheng with spit!

Zhou Zheng didn't seem to see Fang Yizao's expression, took the teacup brought by the soldier, blew lightly, and said, "How do you want to avoid the war disaster in Huangtaiji?" ”

Fan Wenchen listened to Zhou Zheng's disrespect to Huang Taiji, frowned, and immediately said with a smile: "Lord Zhou, my emperor asks your emperor to convey to the emperor of your country that my country is willing to be friendly with your country forever, and there will be no more soldiers in Liaodong." ”

Fang Yizao's face was cold, and his face was disdainful.

Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea and said, "These things you said were originally my Ming's, and they were looted by your master, and they didn't want to return them, so they were actually used to bribe the officials?" That's not sincerity. In this way, you retreat to the north of the Great Khing'an Mountains, and our army recovers Shenyang, and I can start the emperor and give you some fishing and hunting places to settle down. From now on, you hunt honestly, and don't think about rebellion anymore, and there will never be any war. ”

Fan Wenchen looked at Zhou Zheng and said with a smile: "Lord Zhou, my emperor is full of sincerity, please think twice." If the two countries continue to fight, it will not benefit either side, and I believe that the court of your dynasty does not want to fight either. ”

Fang Yizao listened to Fan Wenchen's words, and suddenly looked ugly.

It is true that the Ming Dynasty will not negotiate peace with Jianguo, but it really does not want to fight with Jianyu all the time, and the voice of retreating to Shanhaiguan has never been cut off.

Zhou just took a moment to recuperate and said: "If you just talk nonsense like this, the official thinks that you should think about where the official will throw you into the sea so as not to defile the ancestral halls of nearby people." ”

Seeing that Zhou Zheng didn't have the slightest intention of negotiating, Fan Wenchen glanced at Fang Yizao and said with a smile: "I want to talk to Lord Zhou alone." ”

Fang Yizao decisively refused, and said: "There is nothing to say to people, if you have anything to say, just say it here!" ”

Zhou Zheng looked at Fan Wenchen, turned to Fang Yizao and said, "Governor Fang, you avoid it." Come on, move a stool for Mr. Fan. ”

Fang Yizao hurriedly said: "My lord, don't do it, Jian Yu is cunning, be careful of their discordant scheme!" ”

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "I know it in my heart, don't worry." ”

Seeing that Zhou Zheng insisted, Fang Yizao was a little worried, stood up and glared at Fan Wenchen viciously, and said in a deep voice: "If you dare to mess around, this official will definitely kill you!" ”

Fan Wenchen didn't pay attention to Fang Yizao's threat at all, and still looked calm.

Fang Yizao left, Fan Wenchen sat down, looked at Zhou Zheng's more mature appearance than more than ten years ago, and said with emotion: "I haven't seen you for more than ten years, Lord Zhou is now ranked in the Ming Dynasty's military department, Ji Liao Governor, is an important minister of the Ming Dynasty, time flies like a shuttle......

Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup again and said with a smile: "What I just said is not a lie, if you don't say something that interests me, you have to choose a suitable place for sea burial." ”

Fan Wenchen looked emotional, and said: "Your Excellency is now sitting in Liaodong, Tianjinwei, Shandong, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the Zhou Chamber of Commerce is rich in the world, and the property is millions, and the Ming Dynasty has been in the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, and there is no person with such weight as an adult......"

Zhou Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said without moving: "Go on." ”
