Along the way, Liu Renyu peeked left and right from time to time, and found that Houjin really surrounded the Daling River like an iron bucket this time, impermeable.

On this road to the camp where Huang Taiji was located, almost every few miles there would be patrolling Houjin sentinels, and it was conceivable that even if the defenders of the city were able to break through the trenches and earthen walls, they would still be surrounded when they arrived here, because this was the only way for the Daling River to Jinzhou.

"If I didn't expect to transport grain and grass to the Daling River, I was afraid that after being surrounded, I really couldn't break through, so I could only fight to the end or surrender."

Thinking of this, Liu Renyu couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he was a traveler and knew the direction of history, otherwise the outcome of this battle would be really hard to say.

After walking about 20 miles, they came to the outside of a large marching camp.

The battalion officer who was guarding outside the big camp saw Mang Gurtai coming, and he hurriedly called a thousand children, and said in a low voice: "Lord Belle, you are here." ”

"Yes, there is a messenger from the Southern Dynasty, saying that it is to send a letter to the Great Khan, you go and report it quickly, we have checked this messenger, and there is no blade on his body." Mang Gurtai replied.

"Zha, Lord Belle waits, the slave will go to tell the Great Khan." The battalion officer agreed, and went straight into the barracks to report the matter.

After a short time, the battalion officer returned to the camp gate and said to Mang Gurtai with a smile: "Lord Belle, the wise Khan has a decree to let you go in with the messenger of the Southern Dynasty." ”

These words were all spoken in Jurchen language, and Liu Renyu couldn't understand a word, and was a little confused.

"Barbarian, follow Benbel in to see the Great Khan."

Mang Gurtai spoke Chinese, and this Liu Renyu could understand it.

"Please lead the way."

"Well, let's go."

Mang Gurtai responded, and took Liu Renyu to an extremely tall tent.

There is no doubt that this military camp is the imperial tent of Huang Taiji.

As they walked all the way, many Houjin soldiers next to them pointed at Liu Renyu, and Liu Renyu couldn't understand a word of what he said, so he didn't bother to take care of these idle Houjin soldiers who had nothing to do.

Before Mang Gurtai took Liu Renyu to the imperial tent, he asked the horses to be taken away, and he took Liu Renyu straight into the big tent.

Before seeing the Emperor Taiji himself, Liu Renyu was still making up the image of the Later Jin Khan in his heart, and he watched a certain secret history TV series in his later life, and the Huang Taiji in it was China Taiwan. Bay actor Liu Dekai played a handsome role, and together with the roaring brother Ma Jingtao, he became the face of the TV series.

So he thought that Huang Taiji should also be a handsome guy in reality, but when he really saw Huang Taiji sitting in the middle of the big tent, he realized that he was very wrong.

Liu Renyu entered the big tent, looked up, and saw that in this big camp, a group of generals wearing armor were standing on the right hand, and Mang Gurtai came in, without saying hello to Huang Taiji, and entered the military general sequence with such a big grin. The crowd seemed to be accustomed to such rude behavior as Mang Gurtai, but they did not see it.

On Liu Renyu's left-hand side, a group of people dressed in the common civil official costumes of the Qing court in later generations stood bent over.

And the person sitting in the middle of the big tent is naturally the Emperor Taiji of the Great Khan of the Later Jin.

I saw this Houjin Khan, hanging eyebrows, squinting eyes, double chin, cake face, as if he hadn't woken up, a piece of fat paper, really no momentum, if he met on the road, Liu Renyu would probably think that this was a cook or something.

"It's still our emperor who is more handsome." At this time, Liu Renyu did not forget to compare the monarchs of the two countries.

This looks at the appearance, and the appearance of the matter is done in an instant.

Liu Renyu hurriedly pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar, learned the routine in the Qing palace opera, beat the sleeves with his hands, leaned forward, knelt on one knee, clenched his right hand into a fist, pressed against the ground, put his left hand on his side, nodded his head, and said loudly: "Foreign Minister Liu Renyu, a guerrilla general of Jingbian Fort in the town of the Ming Yansui Army, knocked on the Ying Ming Khan of the Dajin Kingdom, and the Ying Ming Khan is auspicious. ”

The Houjin and other cultural relics officials standing on both sides of the big tent saw Liu Renyu's behavior and heard what he said, all of them looked at each other and were very surprised.

Because this messenger of the Ming Dynasty not only knew the etiquette of Dajin, but also called the country led by his Great Khan to become the Dajin Kingdom, which is strange, it is really strange.

Huang Taiji was also surprised.

"Your Excellency, please."

Huang Taiji was surprised for a while, and then asked Liu Renyu to get up and speak.

Huang Taiji's voice is a deep baritone that is rich and pleasant, and makes people feel comfortable.

"This Huang Taiji's voice is quite good."

Liu Renyu muttered in his heart, and then stood up, still standing respectfully.

Liu Renyu was looking at Huang Taiji, but he didn't know that Huang Taiji was also looking at him.

It is said that Houjin and Daming have actually sent envoys to deal with each other, and every time the envoys sent by Daming, they all regard Houjin as a barbarian tribe, whether it is between words or etiquette, they are very arrogant, and they do not regard Houjin as a country at all, let alone regard Huang Taiji as the lord of the country. So every time I have diplomatic relations with Daming, I don't feel very happy with Huang Taiji.

Now Liu Renyu is good, and he said that he would see the Ying Ming Khan of the Dajin Kingdom, and he was very respectful, which made Huang Taiji have a little good impression of the Ming envoy in front of him for no reason.

"Your envoy actually knows the etiquette of my Dajin!" Huang Taiji asked with a smile.

"The foreign minister fought with the heavenly soldiers under the wise Khan before, and captured a soldier of your country, so he asked him the etiquette of your country, so as not to lose his dignity when the foreign minister came to see the lord of the Dajin country, Tianyan." Liu Renyu replied.

"It turns out that it was your envoy's men and horses who fought with our army in Xiping Fort." Huang Taiji smiled, and then said: "There is one thing, I am very curious, and I need your envoy to clear up my doubts." ”

"Wise Khan, but if there is a question, the minister dares not to answer."

"Very good," Huang Taiji became more and more satisfied with Liu Renyu's attitude.

"The Ming Dynasty has sent envoys to our country many times, never calling our country Dajin, only Zhushen, why do your envoys call our country Dajin?" Huang Taiji wondered.

"Back to Yingming Khan's words, the foreign minister is a pragmatic person, and the foreign minister only knows that Dajin has a country name and a lord, so he calls himself a foreign minister, and calls the country led by Yingming Khan Dajin Kingdom, and that's it." Liu Renyu smiled.

"What a pragmatic person, if there are more noble envoys like the Ming Dynasty, our country will definitely be able to make peace with the Ming Dynasty, so why meet here with the sword!" Huang Taiji patted the imperial case and said very regretfully.

Huang Taiji's words, Liu Renyu was not easy to answer, so he could only be silent.

Huang Taiji was excited for a while, and then asked, "Why did you come to my place for the unknown envoy?" ”

"Back to Yingming Khan's words, yesterday evening, Yingming Khan sent people to shoot books and silks in the city to persuade him to surrender, and we always have to answer a word, so our army commander Zu Zongzhen sent a foreign minister to send a reply letter to Yingming Khan." Liu Renyu replied respectfully.

"Where is the silk book?" Huang Taiji asked.

"Here." Liu Renyu took out the silk book from his arms and held it with both hands.

"Fetch it for me." Huang Taiji ordered.

The self-owned guards took the book silk from Liu Renyu and presented it to Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji unfolded the silk book and looked at it, only to see that it was written: "Your military situation is not accurate, our army has enough food to eat for two years, and despite the siege, you don't have to bother to persuade you to surrender in the future." ”

Zu Dashou's words were very unkind and full of confidence.

Originally, he did say this in the history of later generations, but it was his Emperor Taiji, and now because of the appearance of Liu Renyu, he said this again, so that he really had food in his hands, and he didn't panic.

"Wise Khan, Zong Zu's temperament is as fierce as fire, and there may be some disrespect between his words, please ask Wise Khan to forgive his sins." Liu Renyu knew what was written in the silk book, so he made a confession.

"It's okay, it's okay, I've known Mr. Zu for many years, and his temper is very clear, don't worry, don't worry." Huang Taiji waved his hand indifferently.

People who have violent means but can restrain violence are the most terrible.

This is Liu Renyu's perception of Huang Taiji.

"Your envoy wait a moment, I will write a reply letter and give it to your envoy to take back." After Huang Taiji said this, he asked people to take a pen and paper, brush it a few times, and write a letter out.

"Bring it to your envoy." Huang Taiji ordered.

The self-owned protector took the letter and handed it to Liu Renyu.

"Mr. Zu said that your army has enough food and grass to eat, and it can be eaten for two years, so I have to besiege Daling River for three years." Huang Taiji smiled, not believing at all what Zu Dashou said about the abundance of grain and grass.

"Yes, surround you for three years, until you are convinced." Mang Gurtai coaxed from the sidelines.

"Haha."

A group of civil and military officials standing on both sides of the big tent were all looking at each other and laughing.

Liu Renyu was not annoyed when he saw the Houjin officials around him behaving like this, he took the silk book indifferently, and said with a slight smile: "There is grain in Dalinghe City, and Yingming Khan will know it later, but the foreign minister thinks that the food in Yingming Khan's army may not be enough, but I am afraid that it will be transported from the rear." ”

As soon as Liu Renyu said this, the entire big tent suddenly fell silent.

Because of Liu Renyu's strong implementation of the tactics of clearing the wilderness, Hou Jin was stunned that he could not get half a grain of grain from Daming, so he could only transfer it from the rear.
