The opponent's painstaking pursuit of the same purpose as his own wishes, in exchange for anyone will snicker while sitting on the side for a long time to wait, of course, a person who likes to take advantage of small advantages may want to take advantage of the opportunity to make some small benefits. The reason why it is said that it is not big or small is because it is not interesting to be too small, and the lion is afraid of self-defeating with his mouth wide open. The latest free chapters of the book can be found here. Tianqi is not a person who likes to take advantage of small things, he didn't want to get any benefit from the fact that the Jurchens didn't negotiate on time, but he didn't want Huang Taiji to know that he also wanted to be an apprentice, so he sent someone to inform King Rui and asked him to send someone to Yizhou to pretend to be concerned about the situation.

Although King Rui is in his thirties and has a flexible mind and a young mind, he is still very confused in military affairs because of his identity, and he has to pretend to be confused if he is not confused. He was thinking about how to send people when Liaodong overseer Yuan Keli came, he took the initiative to ask to send his own soldiers to Yizhou to inquire about the news, King Rui agreed as soon as he heard that he was in the middle of the heart≡ after retreating from Ningyuan from Nurhachi, the Ming army of Ningyuan Pass never went out of the pass to inspect again, according to the people who occasionally went out of the pass to cut the grass and catch hares came back and said, from Ningyuan Pass to Yizhou's Tashan, Songshan, Jinzhou and other places are almost uninhabited, only to Youtun and near Dalinghe Fort can find some people's footprints, it is said that the Jurchens stationed in Yizhou have tens of thousands of people.

It is true to say that there are tens of thousands of people in Yizhou, but that was half a year ago, in order to prevent the Ming army from crossing the Sancha River to attack Yaozhou and other places like the year before last. As the battle with the Mongol Han Department intensified, Huang Taiji withdrew all the Jurchen soldiers who could fight, leaving only 5,000 people to be led by a former Ming man, this person is Liu Xingzuo□ Xingzuo was originally a person of the Ming Dynasty who was captured by the Jurchens, at that time, there was no hatred of the family and country in the Jurchen army and joined the gang as a soldier, accumulated military merits and was promoted to the deputy general who managed a large territory, and won the love and value of Nurhachi, of course, after the death of Nurhachi, Huang Taiji took office without this treatment.

Liu Xingzuo in front of the Jurchen officials with the Jurchen money to cut the people of the Ming Dynasty, has been in a state of confusion for many years, in the first two years of the Apocalypse one day was stimulated, suddenly conscience found that he thought that he could not go on like this, so he began to secretly protect those Ming Dynasty people who were captured by the Jurchens, and secretly asked his confidants to express to the then governor of Denglai Yuan Keli that he wanted to return to his homeland, Yuan Keli got Liu Xingzuo's letter and was skeptical, but agreed with an attitude of giving it a try, but asked him to be patient for the time being and wait for the best time.

Later, Yuan Keli was excluded by Wei Zhongxian and couldn't take care of him, and Liu Xingzuo was disappointed and decided to go it alone to run a large-scale escape of the people of Fuzhou, but unfortunately the matter was unsuccessful. However, Liu Xingzuo was also very smart, and instigated the golden cicada to shed its shell and wash itself clean, but the person who leaked the secret was cut down by the angry Nurhachi and 20,000 people. After that, although Nurhachi did not deal with Liu Xingzuo, but his trust in him was also reduced and he was demoted to a general, and after Huang Taiji came to power, he directly let him sit on a cold bench and no longer reuse, and half a year ago, Liu Xingzuo was placed in Yizhou when there was a shortage of people.

After Yuan Keli's comeback, he was stationed in Ningyuan as the overseer of Liaodong, and accidentally heard that Liu Xingzuo was the general of Yizhou, remembering the past of the year, so he wanted to restore contact but did not find the opportunity, and just heard that King Rui was going to send someone to Yizhou to inquire about the news, so he volunteered to send his own soldiers to go, and reported the ins and outs of the year to the Military Affairs Yuan.

On the morning of the first day of the second month of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, under the nervous attention of the sentry on the gate, the only small city gate of Ningyuan Pass slowly opened, and a team of Ming army bridge horses slowly came out of the pass, and the person surnamed Bai was the captain of Yuan Overseer's personal army, he saw that everyone came out, he waved his hand to the city, and then turned over and got on the horse, and with the closing of the gate, the team of people and horses slowly moved forward, and when passing by a few guard towers, they simply said hello and continued on the road.

Captain Bai's surname is Bai, but he is very dark, tall and red-faced, a typical Shandong man, and he just keeps looking left and right along the way, for fear of accidentally falling into a trap and ambush. It was already noon when we arrived in Jinzhou after passing through Songshan, Tashan and other places, everyone rested outside the abandoned Jinzhou City, and by the way, we nibbled on some dry food and drank some water, at this time, a small soldier next to me asked Captain Bai while eating: "Captain, what are you looking at?" ”

Captain Bai said softly: "I'm looking at Jinzhou City, thinking that there are people here and no one is different, this place used to be very prosperous, and you look at this desolate appearance is really uncomfortable." ”

The soldier who asked him said, "Why is no one willing to defend such a dangerous place?" ”

Captain Bai said: "Although Jinzhou is a dangerous place, it is also a dead place, it cannot play the role of a husband and a wife, such a place can only be a supply station and not a place to hold." As long as Jinzhou is surrounded, the people inside will not be able to escape, not to mention, the enemy can also freely set up ambush and encirclement points in the vicinity of Songshan and Tashan to send reinforcements. ”

Xiao Bing thought for a while and said, "Captain Bai is really powerful, but we gave up Jinzhou because we were not good at support and supplies, why would the Jurchens rather stick to Yizhou than defend Jinzhou?" ”

Captain Bai shook his head and said, "I don't understand this either, go and ask the Jurchens when you arrive in Yizhou." ”

After eating, the group continued on the road, and in the afternoon they arrived at the Yizhou garrison not far from the city, and met the rangers of the Yizhou defenders. Taking advantage of the Jurchens entering the city to report, Captain Bai carefully observed the environment around Yizhou, and then handed a look to the dozen or so people who came with him for them to observe carefully, and after a while, someone came to invite them into the city.

After entering the Uiju City, Captain Bai asked the others to wait on the side, and he brought two people into the lobby with the people who led the way. There was a man in leather armor in his forties sitting high in the hall, holding a letter in his hand and reading it, this letter was the letter of inquiry that had just been sent in, it was written by Hou Sui, mainly to ask why no one had come to negotiate after half a month, whether it was unintentionally missed or some other reason.

The man who read the letter was Liu Xingzuo, the guard general of Yizhou, and after reading the letter, he raised the letter in his hand and asked Captain Bai: "Where are you from the Ming army?" Who wrote this letter? ”

Captain Bai knew that Liu Xingzuo wanted to abandon the secret and turn to the light, but I don't know if he still has this idea now, if Liu Xingzuo was impulsive or hypocritical a few years ago, then if he rashly picked it out, it would be very dangerous, and he would probably be killed. Seeing that Liu Xingzuo neither reprimanded him for not saluting nor inviting him to sit, he stood and replied: "Below is the escort of Lord Yuan Keli, the overseer of Ningyuan, and this letter was written by Lord Hou Suihou, the deputy envoy who came to negotiate on behalf of my great son, and both Yuan Inspector and Lord Hou should greet General Liu below." ”

Liu Xingzuo heard Captain Bai mention Yuan Keli, and his heart was shocked but he said quietly: "Ben Jiang has been very good for so many years and has not changed, but I still want to thank them for their greetings, but the news you asked Ben Jiang didn't know, you go down to rest first and wait for Ben to send someone to ask." ”

After Captain Bai and the others left, Liu Xingzuo asked the several leaders on both sides what to do, although he was nominally the supreme general here, but several Jurchen leaders were obviously monitoring him on behalf of Huang Taiji, and it would not be wrong to ask what they meant. Several leaders do have a secret mission to monitor Liu Xingzuo, but they still can't grasp this kind of thing, so they have to suggest that people go to Guangning or Shenyang to ask, Huang Taiji is leading his troops to stare at Lin Dan Khan in the Han Department, ready to find an opportunity to pounce on it and bite hard, Guangning is the supply and transit point of Huang Taiji, he is likely to be there, if Huang Taiji is not in Guangning, then go to Shenyang.

I don't know how long it will take for Huang Taiji to reply to the letter, Liu Xingzuo asked Captain Bai to take someone back to Ningyuan the next day, saying that when there is news, he will send someone to inform, when Captain Bai left, Liu Xingzuo personally took people to see him off, and when he arrived at the gate of Yizhou City, Liu Xingzuo said to Captain Bai: "Since our two sides are negotiating, I believe that our two sides will not fight again in the future, and when the two countries sign an alliance and become a brotherly state, we will all go to all parts of the Ming Dynasty to play, and Brother Bai will give us a guide when the time comes." ”

Captain Bai said with a smile: "The next soldier does not dare to participate in the major affairs of the military state, but if there is really a day of eternal peace, General Liu and several other generals are welcome to be guests at the next house, and they will definitely be greeted by the next couch when the time comes." ”

Huang Taiji was in Guangning, and a few days after receiving Liu Xingzuo's letter, Huang Taiji sent someone to send a reply from the path, which meant that the person in charge of the negotiation was making a mistake and was being punished, and the other deputy envoy Fan Wencheng was sick with a cold and was being treated. Because of the long distance and the lack of information, I couldn't send the news in time, asking the Ming Dynasty to forgive me, and now I want to change people and I'm afraid of trouble, so I ask the Ming Dynasty negotiators to wait for a while, and wait for Dolgon to finish the punishment, Fan Wencheng will recover from his illness and come back. In addition to the verbal apology, Huang Taiji specially sent two mink skins and two hundred taels of silver to Rui Wang and Hou Sui to apologize, and at the same time, Huang Taiji also named a leader in Yizhou to Guangning to explain the situation.

Liu Xingzuo saw that Huang Taiji expressed his attitude, and while asking people to go to Guangning, he discussed with the remaining leaders, and finally decided to send a small team of people to Ningyuan to deliver the letter, and by the way, he could also explore the road to see the movements of the Ming army. Although the two sides are negotiating without a war for a long time, it is better to know oneself and know the other side when the world is unpredictable.

In mid-February, a team sent by Yizhou came to Ningyuan, and they conveyed the meaning of Huang Taiji to Yuan Keli, Rui Wang, and Hou Sui, and the accompanying captain also met with Yuan Keli in private, expressing Liu Xingzuo's wish to return to the Ming Dynasty. Yuan Keli first praised and affirmed Liu Xingzuo's idea of cherishing his homeland, but he did not agree that Liu Xingzuo would now lead his troops to return to Ming, and only let Liu Xingzuo's henchmen go back and tell Liu Xingzuo that he should be patient for the time being, and wait for the opportunity, and now he needs to stabilize If Liu Xingzuo leads his troops to return to Ming at this time, it will cause unpredictable consequences and unnecessary trouble.
