The Jin army withdrew, Ma Shiying and Liu Wenzhong also came, the two guys have been hiding in the victory fort to listen to the news, Kuku and Tun's good news came, and they were suspicious, and specially sent people to Manhan Mountain to verify. The people sent came back the next day like crazy, shouting "great victory" as they ran, and there was a sudden jubilation up and down the side wall, and the two of them did not hesitate any longer, and ran to Kuku and Tun with their legs - such a great military feat would be unbelievable, and if the Governor and the Governor were here, they would have run faster than them.

When Ma Shiying and Liu Wenzhong arrived at the Heihe camp, they had been poured into soup chickens by heavy rain, and Li Yu didn't say much when he saw them, and waved Wu Xian to accompany them down, and they could take whatever they wanted. The atmosphere in the big tent was relatively dull, the civil and military officials of Fengzhou were silent, and Jin Sheng, who had been agitating to pursue and kill the Jin army, was also depressed.

"I don't know how long it will rain so much, I can't fight anymore, I scattered the guards to protect the crops and livestock, and the matter of eating is even more important, why didn't I see that there would be a big flood this year!" Li Fugui patted his head and doubted his ability to observe the sky at night - the sudden heavy rain caused the flooding of the Yellow River, Heihe, Kundulun River and other large and small rivers, the livestock shed was washed away, the crops were waterlogged, and the reservoirs and canals in Fengzhou were in danger.

"Kim Jong-hee, you saw it with your own eyes, it's not that we don't want to fight, it's that God won't let us fight, we can't fight for the court regardless of our stomachs." Ortai pointed at Jin Sheng and said, Jin Sheng has been shouting so much in the past two days, he can't wait to swallow Jin Jun in one bite, and now he has nothing to say.

"The garrison can go home, but the battalion can't move, especially Xinghewei must be strengthened, and we can't help but guard against Jianyi." Du Wenhuan reminded.

Li Yu tapped his fingers lightly on the table, thought for a while and said: "The Jin army burned Kuku and Tun, and it is unlikely that Fengzhou will be invaded again, so let's let Terig take Kubai's cavalry rear battalion, Zhang Chuanjie's infantry front battalion, and Du Hongfang's infantry rear battalion to Xinghewei, and the Chahar iron cavalry will also go back, and another thousand reserve troops will be recruited into Xinghewei, and all departments will be unified under the command of Liu Xingzuo's deputy commander, Xinghewei's defensive force should be enough, and the rest of the battalions and soldiers of the rest of the departments will still be stationed in the Heihe battalion to prevent sudden changes, and Ding Zhuang of each guard will immediately disband back to the headquarters. ”

After a little discussion, everyone agreed, and Ma Xianglin, Hu Dawei and Cao Bianjiao immediately got up and said goodbye - there was no battle to fight, they had to rush back to the Guannai garrison as soon as possible, and to be honest, Fengzhou could not afford to raise too many soldiers. Li Yu and Fengzhou Wenwu stood up at the same time and saluted them, Shi Yanbing killed 800 people in this battle, and more than 100 wounded such as Ma Hu had to stay in Fengzhou to recuperate, Hu Dawei and Cao Bianjiao's troops also suffered 30% casualties, Bai An died bravely in battle, this love must be remembered, everyone hopes that they will take more trophies and go.

"We have already picked three hundred war horses, which are enough, and we can't afford to raise more," Zhang Fengyi waved his hand, and smiled at Li Yu and said, "The two younger siblings are going to give birth, and we will marry after giving birth to a girl, and I will bring my son to ask for marriage in a few years." ”

"We have enough heads and booty, Yuzi, give us some more salt, brothers are bitter, just sell illicit salt to earn food." Hu Dawei said.

Li Yu nodded, and said solemnly: "Brother Bai and the fallen Shi Yan soldiers and Shanxi soldiers are buried in Fengzhou, let the people of Fengzhou always remember them, and whoever has a bad life in the future will come to Fengzhou, we will give land and livestock, and we will never let their family starve." ”

Taking advantage of the light rain, the people and horses of the Heihe camp dispersed, Li Yu kept sending Ma Xianglin and Hu Dawei and Cao Bianjiao to the mouth of the tiger, hugging and saying goodbye to them, Meng Ke also secretly stuffed Cao Bianjiao a paper bag, let him taste the tobacco leaves produced in Fengzhou, don't let his uncle take it away, Cao Bianjiao, who is getting more and more addicted to smoking, hurriedly hid it in his arms.

Tiancong Khan led the army to retreat eastward, the road was drenched by heavy rain, some people also shot cold arrows at them, the Jin army sent cavalry to clear it, the gang of black hands fled without a trace, the Jin army took a lot of effort to catch a live one. Tiancong Khan had a whim, and ordered someone to bring the prisoner up for personal interrogation, and the more he looked at the guy, the more he looked like a horse thief, but the prisoner bit him to death and said that he was a regular army, and he was the most powerful merchant army in the Fengzhou army. The captive also arrogantly said that he was not afraid of death at all, and that there were Jin army prisoners in the Fengzhou army, and it didn't matter if he killed him, his brothers would kill ten Zhushen to bury him. Tiancong Khan was furious, ordered someone to whip the captives fiercely, and then drove them out of the army, the guy cried while walking, and shouted to go back to find someone to retaliate, Tiancong Khan couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly - how could there be so many outlaws in Erlu.

On the way to Zhangjiakou Fort in the rain, Azig and Wunag also came to meet the remnants of the defeated generals, and the Mongols were in good spirits, as if they were not the ones who suffered a big defeat, and they were more like they came to see the direction of the wind.

Azig was supported by Aha and limped to ask for sin, the old twelve were in good health, and after three days of sleep, he actually came back to life, but one leg was lame. Tiancong Khan originally wanted to whip Azig with a whip, but when he saw this, his heart softened and waved his hand to let him go back to rest - Erlu was born to breed, and Azig was not wronged if he was defeated in his hands, and the fault was not to divide his troops in the withered mallet.

Tiancong Khan has a headache now, after the death of the five founding ministers, the old Khan left a message, non-Baylor, Beizi is not allowed to lead the troops, this is nothing, the main opponents of the Jin State are Ming and Chahar, the Ming State is the commander of the Wenchen, the Chahar is the nobleman, close your eyes from the middle of Baylor, Beizi can casually beat this gang of wretchedness, but suddenly the monster of Erlu is in trouble. The older generation of Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai are sure to deal with Erlu, but do these two dare to let them go out to lead the army? Zilharang and Abatai are not bad at fighting, but they don't dare to say that they will win Elu, the younger generation is miserable, Haoge and Shuotuo are brave and unstrategic, Sakhalian, Dolgon, and Dudu are too weak, and Yuetuo's civil and military talents can be of great use, but Tiancong Khan pinched Khan when he thought of his clumsy riding and shooting, Duoduo was the smartest, but he was too smart, let him go to fight Erlu Maybe something would happen, speaking of which Azig is really a rare talent, at least dare to fight with Erlu, although he will definitely lose in the end. Tiancong Khan thought that their generation was aging, and Erlu was only twenty-five or sixteen, he felt that the future was bleak, especially that Erlu could bring outlaws everywhere, and the elite of the Dajin Kingdom was pitiful of Baba's more than 20,000 Zhushen, and when he went out to fight, he had to take Aha to make up the number, it seems that he was going to reform the military system when he went back, and Erlu could pull horse thieves and farmers into the gang, and Dajin must also pull more Mongolians and Han people into the Eight Banners, otherwise the problem of military resources alone could not be solved.

After the Jin army rendezvous, the strength exceeded 20,000, and it seemed that they had the strength to fight again, but the dejected defeated army made Tiancong Khan feel awkward, and after thinking about it, the grain and grass sent by Yingordai plus the stolen cattle and sheep were enough to eat for a while, so he simply let everyone rest for a few days, and at the same time secretly sent someone to order the grain station of Harzhan to be moved to Ulan Hada. Three days later, the rain finally stopped, and the Xuanfu suddenly sent an envoy to ask for peace, and at the same time offered grain, satin, cattle and sheep to reward the Jin army. Tiancong Khan was bluffing, and ordered to erect more battle flags and more camps - outside the border of Zhangjiakou Fort, the Jin army camped for forty miles, and the flags covered the sky and the sun, which frightened the Ming army all day long.

Xuanfu governor Shen Yi was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, he had been an official in Liaodong, and had successively followed Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Chengzong as two supervisors, but unfortunately the experience of Liaodong did not train the courage, but was more fearful like a tiger, when Fengzhou and the Jin army fought bloodily, he shrank his head and gloated, thinking that he had escaped this catastrophe, and never thought about what to be afraid of, the Jin army still came to the door. Shen Yi is timid, and Dong Jishu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, is even more weak-hearted, the old guy has been mixed in the army all his life, except for a few small battles with the robbing Ordos people in the northwest, he has never seen such a big scene. The two of them got together to discuss, the court can't be counted on, there are courtiers who are pulling their skins, the two of them should hang themselves, and the Ming Dynasty is in a mess and there is nowhere to find reinforcements, they all blame the Yiren and chaotic people in Fengzhou, if they don't provoke the Jin army, how can people find Xuanfu to be angry, since they dare to fight the Jin army, then come to Xuanfu to fight. After making up his mind, Shen Di immediately sent a letter to the governor of Xuanda and the governor of Datong, claiming that the Xuanfu was in danger and that Fengzhou soldiers must be sent to reinforce it as soon as possible, and at the same time threatened Zhang Zongheng and Zhang Tinggong, if the Xuanfu was lost, the two of them would not be able to get rid of it.

Zhang Zongheng quickly replied, scolding Shen Di with a stinking face, Xuanfu is the head of the three towns of Xuanda, with tens of thousands of strong soldiers and horses, and the food and salary have always been better than Datong and Shanxi towns. This official ordered you to strictly guard the border wall, and there must be no mistakes, and if you slack, you will be guilty of asking the court to discuss it. Zhang Tinggong also replied to refuse, and the farmers and herdsmen supported by the general army of Tuntian were also too busy to take care of themselves when the flood suddenly came, and they wanted to recruit their soldiers, where was the food and salary for the people and the army? Today, Datong has no salary, Fengzhou has no salary, Xuanfu has strong soldiers and food available, why not serve the imperial court? If the governor of Xuanfu wants to call the generals of Datong, please go to the court to increase the salary.

Zhang Zongheng and Zhang Tinggong were not afraid of Shen Di's coercion, and they had the bottom in their hearts - Ma Shiying and Liu Wenzhong slipped back to Guannei from the Heihe camp, not only brought back rich gifts to them, but also colluded with Li Yu and Jin Sheng to write the chapters. Zhang Zongheng and Zhang Tinggong have military merits in hand, they think they can keep safe, and they are embarrassed to trouble others if they get benefits, and the transfer order is useless to Li Yu, they will only attract hands who ask for money and food, and he will definitely not move if he doesn't give money and food, Yanghe and Datong are not willing to pay out of their pockets, so they can't care about Shen Di's life or death.

Yang He and Datong didn't care, Dong Jishu didn't dare to fight, Shen Di had to deal with Jin Jun hard, but fortunately, Tiancong Khan was also a reasonable person, and quickly replied to the letter. In the letter, Tiancong Khan strongly condemned the Ming court, the Great Jin Soldiers came to eliminate the evil forces of the Chahar, which was in line with the will of heaven and the people, and the Ming State did not help, but secretly sabotaged the righteous actions of the Jin Army, there is conclusive evidence that the Xuanfu sheltered hundreds of Chahar fugitives, and at the same time, the banner and men of the Ming army also appeared among the Fengzhou people who fought against the Jin State - he particularly emphasized that Fengzhou under the banner of Chahar Khan and cooperated with the Chahar people, and was also part of the evil forces, and the Ming State shielded the evil forces, And to participate in the operation against the Kim army, for which you must bear all the consequences. Of course, Tiancong Khan also explained that the Jin army was a benevolent and righteous army, and he could not bear to increase troops on innocent people because of the mistakes of the Ming court, so he gave Xuanfu a chance, and he must send someone out of the customs and peace negotiations within ten days, and only gave a ten-day deadline, and if he could not see the peace representatives, he would immediately attack the border wall.

After reading the letter, Shen Yan started to think crookedly, Zhou Yanru once wrote a letter to imply that he could be captured, and the court had its own cabinet ministers, this was a life-saving straw, and he couldn't wait to sue for peace. In addition to him, the important officials of the Xuanfu also monitored the eunuch Wang Kun and the chief soldier Dong Jishu, and the three of them got together to discuss, Dong Jishu didn't care, as long as he didn't let him send troops to fight, Wang Kun refused to express his position.

"Princess, the three of us are now in the same boat, something happened to the Xuanfu, no one can escape, Dongyu is greedy for money, give them some money and food to send them away, and the matter of money and food will not be mentioned again, and the court may not be to blame, but the prince must give a clear word, so that the official can act, and this matter must not be delayed!" Shen Di said anxiously.

"Yes, Wang Gonggong, the firearms of Xuanfu are outdated, the soldiers are unbearable, if they fight, they will be defeated, and the last general will not be able to do anything, the money is just pretending to deal with it, it is true to keep Xuanfu, if the father-in-law does not allow it, the last general will only die in front of the father-in-law." Dong Jishu almost cried.

"Well, our family was originally a slave of the Qianqing Palace to the emperor to do chores, and when I came to the Xuanfu to take care of the food and salary for the emperor, the others were confused, the governor and the general soldier only served the emperor wholeheartedly, and there was no need to find our family to get involved in major affairs, our family was very panicked these days, and I didn't know what was going on with my deafness, so I had to find a Lang Zhong to take a look." Wang Kun is smart enough, so he slipped away after speaking.

"Useless eunuch, it's not so easy to hide, so take the property for Jiannu from the military treasury, and the official will see how he will be cleaned in the future," Shen Di scolded Wang Kun's back, waved his hand and said to Dong Jishu, "Send someone out of the customs to negotiate peace immediately, and send Wang Shizhong, the general soldier of Fuyi, to go, and the court can't raise him in vain." ”

Wang Shizhong, whose real name is Ge Kuli, the grandson of Yehebel Jin Taishi, Ye He defected to the Ming State after being exterminated by the Jin State, and he was also afraid of the Jin Army, but he did not dare not come, and took a few subordinate officials of the Governor's Yamen to the Jin Army camp outside Zhangjiakou Fort, and handed over the official document of the Governor's Yamen with trembling. Tiancong Khan sneered at Wang Shizhong, and Baylor and Chongchen did not come forward, and sent three inconspicuous general-level officials Ashdarhan, Baige, and Longshi to appear, among which Ashdarhan also happened to be Jintaishi's brother. As soon as the negotiators of the grandfather's generation appeared, Wang Shizhong was pressed and secretly gave benefits to Ashdarhan and Long Shisai, but Bai Ge was different this time, refused to accept the corrosion, and threatened and intimidated Wang Shizhong with fake tiger power - Bai Ge had not completely written off the ghost halls in Qian'an and Zunhua two years ago, and he urgently needed to make meritorious contributions.

Ashdar Han lured and intimidated Baige, and Wang Shizhong was also very obedient, and the negotiations went very smoothly - Shen Di and Dong Jishu were bent on self-preservation, and clearly told Wang Shizhong that as long as the Jin army did not look for trouble, any conditions could be agreed to first, and the words of the governor and the general soldier were at the bottom, and Wang Shizhong was bold, anyway, the Ming Kingdom was not his-Jin Guo proposed to hand over the Chahar fugitives in the Guannei, open Datong, Xuanfu and Liaodong Mashi to exchange trade, and transfer the 81,000 taels of coins given to Chahar every year to the Jin State, Wang Shizhong agreed to it all.

Of course, Tiancong Khan was very proud, and agreed to give the governor of Xuanfu a face, promising not to harass Xuanfu again, and asked the governor of Xuanfu to forward a letter to the emperor of Ming for him, and asked the governor of Xuanfu to transfer a letter to the emperor of Mingguo for him, and asked for peace with Mingguo again. At the end of the negotiations, the representatives of the two sides swore an oath at Zhangjiakou Fort to jointly abide by the covenant.

Shen Di and Dong Jishu breathed a sigh of relief, Chief Jian was stupid or so foolish, and casually threw Tiancong Khan's letter into the fire, as for whether the Xuanfu could open the horse market trade for Datong and Liaodong, and whether they would give the New Year's currency in the future, they didn't think about it at all, and they didn't plan to fulfill the contract. Wang Shizhong was frightened, the two bigwigs took the oath as a child's play, and there will definitely be an accident in the future, he must be a scapegoat at that time, two days later, Wang Shizhong took a family, plus a Gunchuk who was hiding there with him, slipped out of Xuanhua City and went to Fengzhou.

Of course, Tiancong Khan is not stupid, the officials of the Ming State have always been a bunch of scoundrels in his eyes, and there is no credibility at all, but he can only accept this result, and it is also a handle to blackmail the Ming State in the future, and his situation is actually very bad - the Jin army occupied from Har was attacked by the Fengzhou cavalry, and failed to transfer the grain platform to Ulan Hada as scheduled, and after this enemy cavalry attacked the defenders of the grain platform, it suddenly appeared in the Jinlianchuan grassland within a few days, and joined forces with the Chahar cavalry to sweep the Jin army in the area of the old upper capital, and his back road was dangerous; Bad news also came from Shenyang, Liaodong was flooded, more than half of the farmland was waterlogged, many houses in Nanguan in Shenyang were flooded, wild beasts, snakes and pythons also drifted away, and the famine in Liaodong was imminent, and it was no longer possible to raise military rations for him.

The battle is over, but it's time to have a good talk with Erlu - Tiancong Khan decided to do the last thing before withdrawing the army, and the negotiators also thought about it, the foreman of the Wenguan Dabaksh Kurtang, the household department Chengzheng Ying Erdai, the official department Qixinlang Sony, the Ministry of Rites Qixinlang Changshu, and the first-class general Bai Ge - this guy has just exposed Ashdarhan and Longshi for taking bribes, and he will immediately get the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. The luxury lineup is enough to give Elu face, but I also have to save face, and I have to talk to Elu, a hairy boy, to talk about embarrassment, and I have to talk to the Victory Fort to negotiate with the governor of Ming Datong.
