303 Peace

"Clever words, dying to the end, and want to confuse me with my tongue, when I Cao Bianjiao is a person, how can you be shaken in a few words, what you say is so good, sit down and talk, Fan Wencheng, you are a person, I know a thing or two, you are a Ming talent, I am a Ming official, when Nurhachi captured Fushun, you and your brother Fan Wenhuan took the initiative to see Nurhachi, it can be described as shameless. Huang Taiji is in power, you are deeply relied on, all the strategies to crusade against my Ming Dynasty, to plot against Ming officials, to attack Korea, Mongolia, the construction of the Manchu Qing system, etc., you have participated in the decision-making. When the first emperor fell, it was you who sent troops to attack the Ming Dynasty, wanting to seize the world, I am right, what kind of compassion do you have at this time, if you are really like this, then good, I agree to negotiate peace, and after you go back, I will hang myself in front of the tomb of the first emperor. ”

Fan Wencheng is so pretending, Cao Bianjiao is not angry, if he were someone else, he would still be able to believe a little, but Fan Wencheng, the person at the top of the list of traitors in the Ming Dynasty, he can't escape from the top three, and he dares to lobby him like this, if Cao Bianjiao is Zhao Si, he can fool him.

Fan Wencheng didn't expect Cao Bianjiao's words to be so sharp, it stands to reason that ordinary people should be moved when they hear him such touching words, but Cao Bianjiao is about to let him die, Fan Wencheng doesn't want to die, if that's the case, wouldn't he be blind, what Cao Bianjiao said at the moment was that his old face was blue and white, and he was speechless for a while.

The Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, decades of tug-of-war, how many times did they fight for such a piece of land as Ningjin, and how many people's fathers, uncles, brothers, sons and nephews died in the war of these decades! Cao Bianjiao is also tired of war! Rather be a peace dog, not leave people for chaos, is it possible that after the peace talks, the Ming and Qing dynasties will no longer fight, and the world will be peaceful, Cao Bianjiao will not believe that this is a battle between you and me, and it will only end if one party completely falls.

"Then how can the general negotiate peace?" After Fan Wencheng was aggrieved for a long time, he still swallowed his anger and asked pitifully, he was under the eaves, he had to bow his head, there was no way, he had to endure it even if he had a temper, he could only vent by stepping on his own feet, and he didn't dare to show half of his unhappiness to Cao Bianjiao.

Cao Bianjiao saw that Fan Wencheng finally spoke again, and said directly: "According to what you just said, let the Qing court withdraw from the Guanwai, as a vassal state of my Ming Dynasty, you can't be called me, you can only be called the lord of the country, compensate me for the military expenses of the Ming Dynasty, and cede Jinzhou, Fuzhou, and Gaizhou to my Ming Dynasty, so it's almost the same." ”

Fan Wencheng looked at Cao Bianjiao dumbfounded, he was just talking casually, why did Cao Bianjiao really open his mouth and let them retreat outside the border, then their efforts for so many years were not all in vain, the Forbidden City that had just been repaired, wasn't it all cheap Ming Court, such an ending was not what they wanted, and it couldn't be passed here in Fan Wencheng, let alone take it back to Beijing to discuss.

"General, I'm afraid that this matter still needs to be discussed, and this result is too harsh......

Without waiting for Fan Wencheng to finish speaking, Cao Bianjiao said impatiently: "You can go back and let Dolgon think about it slowly, I'm not in a hurry, anyway, I can continue to fight, I have a lot of money and food, enough to support it for two years, it doesn't matter, he doesn't give it, I just fight it myself, how many troops do you still have now, there are still 100,000 horses in the Manchurian and Han Eight Banners, I'm afraid there is no, the rest are all green battalion soldiers, will they turn against each other when the time comes, don't think that it is great for Zilharang to come to the town in person, Duoduo, Haoge doesn't need him to be bad, don't let me clean up, I have the ability to let Dolgon come in person, I'm afraid that if he leaves Beijing City with his front foot, someone will raise righteousness in Beijing City with his back foot, and come to me with Shunzhi's head to surrender, you wait to see a good show! ”

Cao Bianjiao's words poked Fan Wencheng's sore spot, this is indeed the truth, the Manchurian and Mongolian Han Eight Banners have suffered heavy losses in repeated wars, and now there are less than 30,000 people left in the Manchurian Eight Banners, and there are only 30,000 Han and Mongolian Eight Banners, and the rest are all green battalion soldiers, and they really can't keep it In the unfavorable situation, they fought back, Dolgon would not have come to sue for peace, you must know that Xifu came to sue for peace, and now he is still detained in Nanjing, whether he is dead or alive I don't know?

"Mr. Fan, please!" Li Dingguo came to Fan Wencheng's side and had already begun to send off guests, Cao Bianjiao had already turned around and left, and Fan Wencheng had no intention of staying, so he had to leave in a huff, unwilling and helpless.

When Fan Wencheng returned to Beijing City and returned Cao Bianjiao's meaning to Dolgon, Dolgon's already pale face became flushed, which was a sign of anger, but he still held back and did not have a seizure, he needed to calm down at this moment.

"Regent, Regent......" Before Dorgon could say his opinion, Feng Quan ran up, and his face was very ugly.

"What's the matter?" Dorgon asked patiently.

Feng Quan saw that Fan Wencheng was also there, Dolgon's face was ugly, and he knew that the situation was not good, but he still reported: "Regent, just got Prince Zheng's 600 li urgent, the Ming army captured Dingzhou yesterday, and the 5,000 soldiers of the Dingzhou garrison General Yierden surrendered at the time of the battle, and led the army to attack our army when the deputy general Zhao Guangrui surrendered, and General Yierden had to lead the remnants of less than 300 people to retreat to Baoding, and the connection between Zhending and Baoding was cut off. ”

"It's all a bunch of ungrateful people, Zhao Guangrui, this traitor, traitor......" Dolgon suddenly erupted, cursing hysterically.

Fan Wencheng stepped forward and persuaded him: "Regent, the current situation is not in my favor, Dingzhou is the hub between Baoding and Zhending, Dingzhou is lost, Zhending's He Luo Club Department is in danger, at present, Prince Zheng is only 20,000 soldiers and horses in Baoding, and the Ming army is no less than 200,000 people, and the morale is high, firearms are sharp, if the Ming army attacks Zhending, I am afraid that the He Luo Club Department will not last long, and if there are people who should be outside the outside, Zhending is only afraid of ......"

Fan Wencheng didn't finish speaking, but Dolgon already understood what he meant, at present, there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the He Luo Club, most of which are green battalion soldiers, whether it will be like Dingzhou, there will be a mutiny, no one can say, if the time comes when the Ming army is attacking the city, someone inside colludes with the Ming army, not to mention that He Luo will have more than 10,000 people, that is, 100,000 people, and they may not be able to hold Zhending, the strongest fortress often collapses because of internal divisions, this Dolgon is very clear.

"Mr. Fan, you go to the Ming army again and tell Cao Bianjiao that we will retreat outside the customs, and the two sides will take Shanhaiguan as the boundary, but will not pay compensation to cede the land." After a long time, Dorgon calmed down and made a very aggrieved decision.

"Regent, patience for the time being is to recuperate, so that when the time is ripe, the situation will be reversed." Fan Wencheng was also relieved at the moment, he could only leave it like this for the time being, if he really fought, if the Eight Banners were all dead, but retreated outside the gate, they would not even have a chance to turn the tables.
