When Gao Yihuan recruited fierce generals and arranged defenses, Duoduo in the Qing army camp outside the city was a little anxious.

According to the agreement, the Qing army in Jiangbei will continue to rush to southern Henan, but recently there has not been a Qing army from Jiangbei.

Looking at the Wei army, but people and horses kept coming, and if it dragged on for a long time, the battle would only become more and more difficult to fight, and Duoduo became anxious in his heart.

At this time, the gap in soft power between the Wei army and the Qing army was revealed.

After all, the Qing army was a regime that started by plundering, and was not good at governing and ruling the localities, although it occupied a vast area and had a huge population and resources, it was not good at management and development, and did not integrate the localities.

The Wei army established a well-established bureaucratic system in Huguang, and each county organized and trained militia regiments, which were able to mobilize all kinds of materials and manpower in the controlled areas to continuously support the front line.

At the same time, areas that have not been affected by the war can continue to produce as usual, providing a steady supply of food and money.

The supply of the Qing army mainly relied on plunder, and the treasure was pressed to win the war, and did not care much about local recovery and development.

In order to support the war, the Qing army often adopted a policy of fishing with all its resources in the localities, and looted large quantities of materials to wage war.

If the Qing army won the war and robbed a large amount of money and grain, then when there was no war, the local government could still breathe a sigh of relief, but if the Qing army did not win the war and did not get a large amount of money and grain, the local area would be looted, and the people would be unable to bear it, and they would not be able to come up with the money and food that the Qing army wanted.

Now, although the Qing army is pressing the Wei army in terms of strength, it is inferior to the Wei army in terms of logistics supply and troop replenishment.

At this time, the Qing army had been fighting for half a year, and there were hundreds of thousands of more surrendered troops, and the supply was also a little unbearable.

In the camp of the Qing army, in the big tent of the Chinese army, there were a few people sitting in the tent, and Duoduo's face was full of anger, "In the Great War of Southern Henan, my Qing army suffered a lot of losses, but Gao Manzi also suffered a lot of losses. If you give up now, then all the previous efforts will be in vain. I want to plead my case to the regent, and the war must not stop! ”

On the handsome seat of the big tent, it was not Duoduo who was sitting, but an old man in red armor, he waited for Duoduo to finish venting, and then said in a deep voice: "Old fifteen, this is the decision of the Council of Ministers, and the regent can't change it, the matter here is no longer in your charge, you better go back to Beijing to confess the guilt, and think about how to explain it to the imperial court!" ”

The old man is none other than Dai Shan, who came to his age and would not lead the troops to fight again, but now there are not many people in Beijing who are qualified to lead hundreds of thousands of troops, and Dol Roll is unwilling to hand over the military power to Zilharang, so he can only let him, the old man who happened to come to Beijing from outside the Guanwai, come to Henan to preside over the situation.

Dai Shan belonged to the centrists, and Zilharang and others also agreed, so he dragged his half-cut body into the soil and rushed to southern Henan.

As soon as Duoduo heard that it was the decision of the Council of Ministers, he knew that it was not Dorgon who wanted to remove him, but the Manchurian nobles who were dissatisfied with him.

There was silence in the tent for a while, Duoduo's face was gloomy, and he said half-loudly: "How is King Li going to deal with the situation in southern Henan?" ”

Because of the Mandahai matter, Dai Shan had a lot of opinions about Duoduo, but he still explained: "Now that the negotiations with Nanjing have collapsed, the Council of Ministers means to agree to Gao Yihuan's conditions and negotiate a truce. first withdraw from the war, digest the land of Jiangbei, and then look for opportunities to provoke the contradictions between Nanjing and Gao Yihuan. The Han people like infighting the most, and I in the Qing Dynasty did the same as when I was outside the Guan, watching them fight, and then re-starting the war when the time is right. ”

Duoduo listened and was silent for a long time, "Gao Manzi is not Li Zicheng, if you don't destroy him now, let him have a chance to breathe, and I will die without a place to bury in the future!" ”

With that, Dodor sighed, turned around in silence, and then opened the curtain and exited the tent.

As soon as Duoduo left, Meng Qiaofang stood up, and there was some emotion in his heart, "Lord Li, what should I do now?" ”

Dai Shan frowned at Duoduo's words, looked up at Meng Qiaofang when he heard the words, and said in a deep voice: "If you go to Xiangcheng to see Gao Yihuan, you will say that the imperial court has agreed to negotiate a truce!" Sign an agreement with Gao Yihuan as soon as possible, and then leak the agreement out and let Gao Yihuan and the small court in Nanjing fight. ”

Meng Qiaofang nodded, saluted, and left.

In Xiangcheng, in the palace, Chen Mingxia walked into the study and knocked on the door, "The king, the minister has something important to report!" ”

"Come in!" Gao Yihuan responded casually, holding a brush and continuing to write.

The door creaked, and Gao Yihuan saw Chen Mingxia come in, put the pen on the inkstone, and said with a smile: "Mr. is in such a hurry, what's the matter?" Could it be that the Qing army retreated? ”

"The king's clever calculation!" Chen Mingxia said with a smile: "Actually, it's almost the same, it was the Qing army that sent Meng Qiaofang over to negotiate peace with us!" ”

Gao Yihuan's face was a little surprised, "Will Duoduo agree to negotiate peace?" ”

Chen Mingxia said: "The ministers heard that the Qing army outside the city has changed its commander, Duoduo has been taken, and now it is Daishan to lead the army, and it is the meaning of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to negotiate peace." ”

Gao Yihuan had a smile on his face, "What conditions do they have?" ”

Chen Mingxia said: "There is no condition, that is, the two sides take the controlled area as the boundary, and the truce and stop fighting. Meng Qiaofang has arrived, and he wants to sign an agreement with the king, but the king can't see it. ”

Gao Yihuan smiled slightly: "No! Mr. verbally told him that the conditions were agreed by King Lone, and they should just withdraw from the army directly, but King Lone did not sign this agreement! ”

Chen Mingxia bowed slightly, "If this agreement is not signed, it will not be binding, but if it is signed, if it is leaked, it will be a trouble, and it is really a problem." ”

Gao Yihuan smiled: "Mr. thinks that if the Lone King signs an agreement, it will be binding?" That agreement can only bind the gentleman, restrain civilization, and deal with the Manchu Qing, that is just a piece of paper, the key is to be strong enough. ”

Chen Mingxia understood it at one point, and said with a smile: "The minister understands, the agreement is signed to bind our hands and feet, but it can't bind the Manchus, with the current situation, if we don't sign, the Manchus can only retreat, there is no need to give the Manchus a handle!" ”

Gao Yihuan nodded, and picked up the pen again, "Sir, go do it!" ”

It was in the Yeqing military camp, Meng Qiaofang told Dai Shan about the things in the city, and then sighed without surprise, "This Gao Yihuan is like a loach, it's really slippery, and there is no flaw at all!" Lord Li, what should we do now? ”

Dai Shan was also a little surprised, a southerner like Gao Yihuan, he really met him for the first time, and he agreed but didn't sign a contract, which was too strange.

Dai Shan couldn't help but think of Duoduo's words, but he still waved his hand and said, "If you don't sign it, you won't sign it!" The herald ordered the army to withdraw first and prepare to solve Xuzhou! ”
