One of the two people pretending to be envoys is Bai Mu, and the other is naturally Jiang Chuan himself.

The reason why he went to be this envoy himself was because he wanted to see the reality of the Qing army with his own eyes, and because there was no one to go.

Liu Ji is a literati and has to be in charge of civil affairs, so it is naturally inappropriate. Although Bai Mu has the courage, he doesn't know his own specific arrangements, so it is difficult to improvise, so only he can implement his own strategy is the most suitable person.

This trip seems to be very dangerous, and it is very likely that he will not be able to come back, so Liu Ji was also resolutely opposed to Jiang Chuan taking risks at first.

But after some analysis, Jiang Chuan finally nodded and agreed.

The reason why Jiang Chuan dared to enter the Qing army camp alone was naturally carefully considered. First, he went as a nobody, and Duoduo would not really kill him out of his own identity, at most he would put on a posture to scare him.

Second, he made it clear from the beginning that if he dared to touch them, their princess of the Qing Dynasty would have to be the backstopper. Because of the previous matter of exchanging the life of the princess for the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty, Duoduo was naturally inclined to believe that Jiang Chuan could do such a thing.

And this was said in the big tent, in front of many Manchu and Han generals, Duoduo took care of it, and he didn't dare to kill them. Otherwise, the princess really lost her life, and Dordor was inevitably responsible.

To put it simply, there is no need for Duoduo to kill him, and he does not dare to kill him.

Therefore, it seems to be very dangerous, but in fact, it is also dangerous.

However, Jiang Chuan himself knew that the clothes inside his armor were already soaked, and they were all wet with cold sweat. But no one can tell his nervousness from the surface of him, and that's what he's capable of.

When he goes out to do something, he shows a strong composure. This has to be said to be one of his talents.

When the soldiers at the head of the city saw the two returning, they quickly lowered the drawbridge and opened the city gate to let them in.

As soon as the two entered the city, the city gate and drawbridge behind them quickly closed and rose.

After returning to the General's Mansion, before entering the door, he saw Liu Ji walking around the door of the council hall, heard footsteps, and when he raised his eyes to see Jiang Chuan, he was immediately overjoyed and strode up to meet him.

"Is the Lord safe and sound?" As soon as Liu Ji came up, he looked up and down, looking concerned.

"Don't worry, military advisor, my lord is safe and sound, not a single hair has fallen out." Bai Mu said with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, since the lord came out of the valley, my heart has been hanging for a long time." Liu Ji said with a sigh of relief.

"Haha, military advisor, my life is hard, and I can live for seventy or eighty years. Let's go in. Jiang Chuan also laughed and pulled Liu Ji into the conference hall together.

Taking off the armor on his body, Qi Xuan sent a large bowl of herbal tea, and after Jiang Chuan took it up and drank it all, some irritability and depression in his heart were suddenly swept away, and then he told Liu Ji the truth of the matter.

Liu Ji was also secretly afraid when he heard this, and sighed that if Duoduo had a convulsion, this lord would not be able to come back.

Jiang Chuan disagreed: "Military advisor, success lies in judging the situation and sizing up the situation, of course, there are some risks. We want to compete for the world, and there will be countless difficulties and dangers in the future, and the reefs will be turbulent. Duoduo thinks highly of himself and naturally does not do anything stupid. But if his brother Azig was the handsome, I really wouldn't dare to go this time, that guy is a brave and scheming guy with a short temper. “

Liu Ji sighed and said: "I don't want the lord to know so much about the temperament and style of the Qing country's dignitaries, Liu Ji admires." ”

Jiang Chuan smiled and didn't explain.

In fact, he made a judgment based on the records of the brothers of Dordor in the historical materials of his previous life, plus the confirmation from some captives. Although I don't dare to be completely sure, there are a few things in the world that are completely determined before we do it, and it is impossible not to take risks if you want to fight for the world.

Jiang Chuan took out the letter in his arms and handed it to Liu Ji and said with a smile: "Strategist, look at this." ”

Liu Ji took it, and after reading it quickly, he was surprised: "Duoduo actually wrote this letter?" ”

Jiang Chuan nodded and said: "Duoduo thinks very highly of himself, and the Manchu cavalry has been crisscrossing Liaodong for many years, and he has already become a proud general, and he feels that he is invincible in the world. The Ming Dynasty, Mongolia, and North Korea were all defeated by them one by one, and it is impossible to put such a small thief army as ours in their eyes. In his opinion, our so-called challenge is simply a joke. I used 20,000 troops to surrender to him as a bait, so Dordor didn't care to write us such a blank check. In his heart, he had already predicted that our army would be defeated, so he might as well pretend to be generous and agree to our conditions in full. If he doesn't agree, he's afraid that we'll not go out of the city again, and his plan will fall through again. ”

After listening to Jiang Chuan's analysis, Liu Ji also nodded again and again and said: "The lord sees Duoduo's mind so accurately, but it is a pity that Duoduo doesn't know that the nobody in front of him is the leader of the thief army in his heart, if it is in the future, I don't know if he will be mad with anger." ”

Jiang Chuan laughed when he heard this: "I'm also looking forward to seeing Duoduo go crazy with anger. He has given us an IOU now, and we will go to him to ask for an account in the future. However, at the moment, we still have to discuss the matter of going out of the city tomorrow, this time we must plan carefully, and tomorrow's battle must defeat the arrogance of the Tartars, let them know that they are not enough, so that Huang Taiji will really open his eyes to see us. ”

Liu Ji nodded and said, "What the lord said is extremely true. ”

Jiang Chuan now has more than 17,000 horses, including more than 10,000 cavalry. This time, Ran Wu went out with 5,000 archers, so there were only 5,000 light cavalry and 500 heavy cavalry left in the valley.

However, the current 5,000 light cavalry is no longer the original light cavalry equipped with leather armor, but an upgraded version of the general cavalry.

These cavalrymen were all dressed in iron armor and equipped with small round shields covered with thick cowhide, 1,000 men were equipped with cavalry spears more than three meters long, 2,000 men were equipped with a long knife shaped like a ring head sword in the Han Dynasty, and a short sword at the waist. Two thousand men were armed with lighter armor and weapons. Depending on the need, some cavalry were also equipped with bows and crossbows for use in close combat.

According to Jiang Chuan's army building concept, in the future, all cavalry will be able to shoot on horseback, charge in close combat, and chase and kill defeated soldiers after the battle, becoming general-purpose cavalry.

As for the heavy cavalry, Jiang Chuan has not expanded its scale, and currently only maintains the scale of 500 people, firstly, because the cost is too high, all of them are composed of knights, and the cost is too great. The limitations of the heavy cavalry are too great, and they can only be used for a short period of time, and if they are a little farther away, they will be sleepy and tired, and they are easy to be beaten by people, and they need the close cooperation and protection of other troops.

In addition, arquebuses and red-coated cannons have appeared in this world, so the heavy cavalry, a type of troops in the era of pure cold weapons, is actually a bit out of place.

Therefore, whether the battle of tomorrow can be won or not, the treasure will be pressed on the body of these five thousand cavalry.

"Come on, go and recruit all the captains of each battalion here to participate in the military discussion." Jiang Chuan shouted outside the door.

Guan Bao, Yang Chuliu, and the three young guards of Black Stone, who had been guarding the door, agreed when they heard this, and quickly gave the order.
