After watching Erli go down the mountain suspiciously, Huang Daozhou couldn't help but say to Chongzhen: "Does Your Majesty really want to make peace with the same generation?" Now that these captives have become the turtles in my Ming urn, isn't it too cheap to make peace with them now? When they go back, I'm afraid they may not remember Your Majesty's benevolence. ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at him and couldn't help but smile and said, "Didn't Mr. Shi Zhai persuade me before, the soldier is an ominous weapon, and the saint has to use it as a last resort?" ”

Huang Daozhou ignored the emperor's little ridicule and said seriously: "That's right, but you can't stop eating the meat when it comes to your mouth." The minister thought that this Song Xianggong was still not worth emulating.

I have fought between Daming and Houjin for more than ten years, but this victory is the most impressive. If it is preached, it will greatly boost people's morale. But if Your Majesty returns to the mountains, do you know that in the future, these captives will not come to plague my Ming border again? ”

Looking at Huang Daozhou, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it turned out that these literati were not really pedantic. Before the war, they opposed their use of troops all day long, but when they won the war, they immediately changed their position and demanded that they could not be Song Xianggong.

It can be seen that as long as they get rid of the power struggle in the court, this normal IQ will return. He couldn't hear such words in the court of the capital, only on the barren mountains and mountains outside the fortress, Huang Daozhou could say it.

Zhu Youzhen thought so in his heart, but replied in his mouth: "Mr. Shi Zhai is indeed right, at this moment, the same generation is good at making peace, and it may be that the tiger has returned to the mountain."

However, we should look at the big picture. Our victory here will not change the balance of power on the Ningjin front, as long as the remnants of Houjin in the canyon flee back to Yiju, it will be impossible for us to capture it in the short term. In this way, General Man Gui still inevitably suffered the fate of being wiped out.

In exchange for half of the yellow flag and half of the positive red flag here with General Mangui, on the surface, we took advantage of a little advantage. But from Huang Taiji's point of view, in fact, we eliminated a political opponent for him, so that he could calmly control Zhenghongqi. Houjin's power was lost, but Huang Taiji's strength was strengthened.

At the beginning, the old slave used troops against my Ming Dynasty, and he was able to fight tirelessly without defeat, which was nothing more than the unity of the Houjin Dynasty, and my Ming Dynasty had many military orders. Since Huang Taiji ascended the throne, the Houjin army has not been as good as before, that is, there is a lack of a long-awaited leader in the country.

So, if we can end this war through negotiations, why bother to exclude dissidents for Huang Taiji? In the grand scheme of things, an end to this war is more necessary for the country than for me to win the glory of a victory. ”

Just when Huang Daozhou was still chewing on the meaning of Chongzhen's words, Zhu Youzhen, who was about to go down the mountain and return to the camp to change his clothes, suddenly stopped again, turned back to him and said: "Mr. Shi Zhai has persuaded me several times not to take risks in person, but I want to ask Mr. Isn't it the greatest adventure for this country to let a monarch who has never been on the battlefield decide the direction of the war?"

Looking at the soldiers who fought with their lives on the battlefield, don't you still understand that the good years of you and me in the courtyard of the deep mansion do not depend on the high walls and deep trenches of the capital, but on these Ming soldiers who face the enemy's swords and iron horses.

In my opinion, there is no safer place in the world than the barracks where these loyal soldiers are located. If even these soldiers can't protect my safety, where in the world is there my safety? ”

Huang Daozhou stood in the open space on the top of the mountain that was opened up by the sergeant, looking at the figure of Chongzhen who was constantly moving away on the mountain road, and couldn't help but feel lonely. Although he knew in his heart that what the emperor said was correct, he still had some difficulty accepting that these warriors and scholars were on an equal footing.

After sighing, Huang Dao turned his head and looked at the mountains that stretched around him, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, if those Qingliu in the capital heard the emperor's words just now, I am afraid that they would have already boiled into the sky.

However, with the emperor's character, I'm afraid those Qingliu won't be able to hear such sincere words. Huang Daozhou finally realized at this moment that for this majesty, I am afraid that it will not be possible to use the Confucian Code of Ethics to restrain him.

He remembered the poem that the emperor had just read, and couldn't help but shake his head and whispered to himself: "Count the romantic characters, and look at the present dynasty." It's such a big ambition, I hope it's not another Hailing King..."

Zhu Youzhen, who went down the mountain, naturally didn't know that his recitation of "Qinyuan Spring Snow" not only did not impress Huang Daozhou, but was worried that he would become the second King of Hailing.

Removing the armor and weapons on his body and covering himself tightly with a black cloak, Daishan followed Erli out of his temporary camp in such an image.

Under such weather, it is really unknown how many of the troops who did not carry their baggage to cross the Daling River and run into the mountains to the west. Not to mention, the Ming army would definitely not let them leave so freely.

Therefore, after Aierli sent Chongzhen's invitation, he thought about Dai Shan for most of the day, and finally accepted the invitation in order to be able to save the Zhenghong Banner.

After arranging the tasks in the temporary camp, he took advantage of the darkness to mingle with Elli's entourage and went to the camp of the Ming army.

On the way the team passed, Dai Shan looked at the orderly rangers and the Ming army stationed on the side of the road, and had to admit that this army was obviously more effective than the Ming army in Liaodong. Fleeing in front of such a unit, the losses of Zhenghongqi are incalculable.

In front of the Ming army camp until the Chinese army tent in the camp, bonfires were lit on the side of the road, illuminating this tortuous road brightly. Dai Shan, who dismounted at the gate of the camp, only to find that the road had been shoveled off the snow and turf and paved with a layer of sand and gravel after stepping on the road.

Looking at this road, I know that it may not be a matter of a day or two for the Ming army to set up this large camp. Thinking of this, Dai Shan was very dissatisfied with those herdsmen of the Karaqin Tribe, if it weren't for these bastards who said that only Du Du's more than 1,000 people and horses entered the Daling River, and he didn't see the emperor's banner and the Ming army at all, how could he be transferred into this trap.

Before entering the Chinese tent, Elley suddenly stopped, and the two guards guarding the door of the tent came forward to check on his body and take his weapons. Dai Shan calmly accepted the inspection of the two, and then followed Elley into the big tent.

Compared with the Chinese army tent of the Ming Kingdom, the Chinese army tent of Houjin can be described as simple. In addition to the double-layer structure, the inner tent alone can accommodate thirty or forty people, and the ground is first laid with a layer of wooden planks to isolate moisture, then a layer of carpet pressed from coarse wool, and a layer of extremely soft wool carpet on the seats on both sides. When people sit on it, they suddenly don't feel that it is a cold grassland outside.

However, when the contemporary good stepped into the big tent, the tent seemed empty, except for a Ming army general sitting on the right seat near the main seat, and no one else was seen.

Dai Shan's face changed slightly, and when he was thinking about whether this was really a trap, Zhu Youzhen, who was wearing a regular home clothes, walked out of the back tent and greeted the two with a smile: "Since the guests have arrived, why don't you take a seat." Elli, you sit in the middle seat, and let Big Baylor sit down with me, so that I can have a good talk with Big Baylor. ”

Dai Shan, who was going to sit down near the door, hesitated a little when he heard Chongzhen's greeting, but he still obeyed the emperor's instructions and walked towards Chongzhen's left seat.

As he walked, Dai Shan noticed that the general sitting on the right side was pressing his hands on the low table in front of him, his eyes fixed on his movements, as if he was about to do something wrong.

Although Dai Shan is a veteran who was killed in the sea of corpses and blood, he really didn't plan to go to the meeting today with any intention of going to the meeting alone. He was able to take the risk of coming here, first, this Ming emperor has always been very reasonable with Jurchen captives, and he will not cut off other people's heads at every turn; The second is that the remarks brought by Ellie really moved him.

That's why he held a skeptical attitude and ran to the camp of the Ming army with two guards. He just wanted to hear how the Ming Emperor wanted to solve this war.

Seeing Dai Shan sit down peacefully, both Wu Huai and Ai Erli breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhu Youzhen ordered someone to send wine and food indifferently.

Under Chongzhen's diligent persuasion, Dai Shanshi ate a few mouthfuls of wine and food, then put down his chopsticks and said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty's banquet, the foreign minister is very warm. However, thinking that the minister's subordinates were still hungry at the moment, the minister was really hard to swallow.

Since Your Majesty has summoned the ministers to come to solve the problem, please make it clear so that the ministers can rest assured. If the minister's problem cannot be solved, the minister would rather go back earlier and accept His Majesty's holy judgment with his subordinates. ”

Zhu Youzhen swallowed the sheep's eyes in his mouth, took another sip of wine and rinsed his mouth, and then said to Dai Shan slowly: "Isn't it simple for Da Baylor to solve the current problem, as long as you help me burn the Yizhou warehouse and let Huang Taiji retreat with the army, I will let you and your subordinates go back, and everyone will be fine, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds." ”

Dai Shan looked at Chongzhen in astonishment and said, "Your Majesty is not joking, didn't you let your ministers betray Houjin Kingdom?" The minister would rather die in battle than do such a self-digging thing. ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at Dai Shan, although his tone was excited, but his hands were still on the low table, and he didn't want to tear his face with himself, so he secretly made a gesture to appease Wu Huai and Ai Erli, who were eager to try.

Only then did he say to Dai Shan: "Big Baylor said with a smile, how could I let you betray the Houjin Kingdom, I just let you betray Huang Taiji."

Burning a Yizhou warehouse, will the Houjin Kingdom perish? Isn't that obviously impossible? At most, Huang Taiji could no longer fight in Ningjin, withdrew his troops and returned to Shenyang, and peace was restored between Daming and Houjin.

For the current Houjin, whether it is beneficial for Daming to maintain peace or to continue the war, can't Da Baylor tell the difference? ”

Dai Shan had a hard time accepting Chongzhen's statement, and although he didn't mind dealing with Huang Taiji, he didn't think of destroying Huang Taiji's battle plan by burning down his own granary.

Dai Shan, whose face was blue and white for a while, finally opened his mouth and refused to Chongzhen: "Even so, I can't do this." As the Great Baylor of the Houjin Kingdom, how can I trap the Houjin army in a crisis for my own selfish interests? ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at Dai Shan for a long time, and suddenly laughed a few times before he said: "Da Beile is really loyal and good at taking care of the overall situation, no wonder after the death of the Heavenly Mandate Khan, the situation of unity and stability can still be maintained in Houjin." In my opinion, this is all due to Big Baylor.

It's just that I have a question, and I ask Big Baylor to solve my doubts. Big Baylor is so compromised and takes care of the overall situation, does Huang Taiji know? Or, if I use Hauge and Da Baylor as a threat and ask Huang Taiji to withdraw from the army, will he take into account the overall situation and the relationship between brothers and sons, and withdraw from the army? ”

Dai Shan was silent for a while, he thought about it in his heart for a long time, and he didn't think that this younger brother would withdraw from the army for himself. With Huang Taiji's method of dealing with Amin, it is estimated that he would prefer not to go back, even if it is worth losing a son.
