Gao Hongzhong's forehead was sweating slightly, and he arched his hand to Chen Xin: "My lord, no matter what the adults do with my Dajin, the villain is ordered to negotiate with the adults, and it is always beneficial to everyone to talk about it, and please raise your noble hand and don't behead my companions, they are also Han." ”

Chen Xin shook his head, "The traitors are naturally Han Chinese, and the officials are officers and soldiers, as long as they are traitors, they will be killed in the same way, and if the Jurchens are law-abiding, the officials will not be killed." ”

At this time, there was a burst of cheers outside, Gao Hongzhong didn't care about Chen Xin's sarcasm that he was a traitor, and finally couldn't help but turn his head at this time, the two heads outside had been lifted high, those two were Han officials of the museum, and they were selected from the last three hundred remaining students in Liaodong, they escaped countless times of Houjin's purge, and finally died in Lushun.

Gao Hongzhong's face turned pale, but since Chen Xin met him alone, at least his head was safer, provided that he could not provoke this mild-mannered Ming State commander.

He thought carefully about the wording and said: "Since the lord has such doubts about the title, then the villain will also call the Houjin Khan by the master of my family, and bring the words to the same, so it should be regarded as the Great Khan personally bringing the message to Lord Chen, and it does not involve court etiquette." ”

Chen Xin smiled and said: "That's okay, but the few people outside are all from the name of the Jin Kingdom in the future, and the official will cut off their heads in public and send them back to the capital for inspection by the ministries and halls." lest the official make an unclear statement and damage the reputation of the official. ”

Gao Hongxin secretly scolded in the center, this Chen Xin did not leak anything, not only used those few heads to show his loyalty, but also encouraged the morale of the soldiers, and finally left himself to negotiate.

In the future, even if someone says that Houjin sent people to make peace with Chen Xin, Chen Xin can also prevaricate with those heads. There was another round of cheering outside, and Gao Hongzhong gave up his plan to rescue a few companions, and he was almost killed anyway. I don't bother to bother with useless tongues. ”

Since it was a private message, there was no need for many people to listen, Chen Xin nodded to Zhou Shifa next to him, and a group of spies from the intelligence bureau retreated, leaving only two guards and Zhou Shifa in the house.

"The Great Khan sent the villain here to say a word to Lord Chen, 'The rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, and the bird is hidden.'" ”

Chen Xin blinked his eyes and looked at Gao Hongzhong calmly. didn't even have a look of thought, Gao Hongzhong was more relieved, he thought that Chen Xin had thought about it a long time ago.

Gao Hong was a little nervous in the center, he stared at Chen Xin's expression, and continued: "Lord Chen is not Liaozhen who eats idle meals in western Liaoning. The combat power is the best in the Ming Kingdom, if there is no self and my master is in Liaodong, the adults will be useless to the Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Kingdom. It's not good for everyone to fight between adults and my master, so why bother. ”

"Finished?" Chen Xin suddenly asked lightly.

Gao Hongzhong was stunned for a moment, nodded and then immediately shook his head again, "My master is at war with the Ming Kingdom. It is really that the Ming Kingdom was persecuted too much in previous years, and now that the adults have entered Dengzhou, the master of my family admires the adults and is willing to govern Liaodong with the adults. With Jinzhou as the boundary, as long as the adults nod, the Dajin army will not be one step away from Jinzhou, if Lord Chen has a day to win the world. My master is willing to borrow soldiers and adults, or to respond outside the customs. After the success of the Lordship, the Kingdom of Kim is willing to follow the example of Joseon and treat the Lordship with the courtesy of a vassal country......"

The sea dog and Zhou Shifa next to him both obliquely observed Chen Xin, Chen Xin stared at Gao Hongzhong and did not speak, and the atmosphere was quite strange. Gao Hongzhong felt weak in his heart as he spoke, and his voice became smaller and quieter in the back. Chen Xin finally laughed and waved his hand to interrupt Gao Hongzhong.

Gao Hongzhong hurriedly said: "Please listen to the villain." ”

"No need, I see what you mean, if you want to keep this head, don't say it anymore. The official wanted to ask, did you come up with the idea of peace talks or did Huang Taiji arrange it for you? ”

"This is the villain to the Great Khan to build yì, although the villain does not know how to march and fight, but he can also see that Dengzhou Town's combat power is unparalleled, and it is not comparable to ordinary Ming Town. This matter is like a leopard in the tube, the army is like this, Lord Chen must be an extraordinary person, and what he does is an extraordinary thing, it is to boldly speculate on the mind of the adult, and the villain's discussion is for the benefit of the adult and my master. ”

Chen Xin touched his nose and smiled: "The official doesn't want to bother to dissect his heart with Mr., but Mr. Gao, the official will also give you a proposal, Mr. can mix with the high-ranking officials of the Houjin Han people in Liaodong in nine deaths, and he is also an extraordinary person, and the official doesn't want to ask more about the past, but he can help Mr. imagine the future." The side of the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly, even if I do not fight with your master today, Liaodong will inevitably fight after all. If Mr. Gao is really smart, he can buy more hands, and he doesn't need to do anything difficult. Sometimes it's easy to fall into the water when you pedal two boats, and sometimes, it's easier to save your life, and it's no harm to buy more, you can catch some money if you drive big and small, right? ”……

In this daytime, Dengzhou Town sent cavalry to approach the Houjin camp, some squads climbed the North Mountain, observed the road from Lushun to Jinzhou from the top of the mountain, Houjin soldiers sent cavalry to meet the battle, and sent a group of white-armored soldiers into the mountains to compete with Dengzhou soldiers for the commanding heights, there were 2,000 cavalry escorted to the Kiba Station to retreat, they carried less baggage than when they came, and the most severe losses in the armament were seven Hongyi cannons, all of which were Tianyou to cheer the general, and were abandoned on the earthen wall.

The Houjin soldiers maintained the cavalry advantage, the main force remained in the north of Lushun, the camp of the Houjin soldiers controlled the official road that could be passed, and the Dengzhou cavalry could not bypass the camp, Dengzhou Town stared at them to death, only to see when their main force moved, no matter how the Houjin soldiers deployed their troops, as long as the army began to move, the formation on the road would always be elongated, and there would always be people left behind, and the formation and psychology were fragile.

It wasn't until after dark that a team from the intelligence bureau sent Gao Hongzhong away under the cover of night, and met the Houjin Fulu Army four miles away from the Houjin camp.

Gao Hongzhong shouted loudly to identify himself, the intelligence bureau team immediately withdrew, and whether Gao Hongzhong could finally return safely was not their business.

Gao Hongzhong took great pains to persuade a few Fulu troops, and two armor soldiers took him back to the camp, and met a lot of white armor on the way, including Baya Layu Ezhen with a yellow flag, and today Houjin also sent heavy troops to wait in the field, to clean up those arrogant Dengzhou soldiers last night.

Gao Hongzhong has just passed. In the wilderness, there was a loud shout of killing, and arrows and lead bullets whistled and brought death. That Baya Layu really knew Gao Hongzhong, and directly sent someone to lead him to the Huang Taiji camp, Huang Taiji's camp was closer to the north, this night road walked seven or eight miles, the first half was almost the intelligence bureau people carried him away, the second half was a few armor soldiers to help him go, Gao Hongzhong fell countless heels all the way, and finally returned to Houjin's arms alive. He thought back to the circumstances of one day, and he was like a human being in two lives.

Huang Taiji was already impatient to wait, and when he heard Gao Hongzhong coming back, he hurriedly beckoned him into the account and asked Gao Hongzhong to sit down and talk.

Gao Hongzhong knelt on the ground. "Great Khan, that Chen Xin is quite treacherous, he came up and cut off several of the minions' subordinates, saying that they would take it to the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and the minions could not stop it, it was an insult to the face of the Great Khan, please let the Great Khan fall."

Huang Taiji didn't care about a few Han officials. In fact, he expected it. Huang Taiji had a deep conversation with Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng, and carefully sorted out the before and after the Dengzhou Rebellion, and his understanding of Chen Xin's style of acting was deeper than Kong Youde's, Kong Youde only suspected that Chen Xin was premeditated. But Huang Taiji can be sure that the key point is that Wang Bingzhong, and the news he got later was that Wang Bingzhong died at the hands of Geng Zhongming, so Huang Taiji judged that Chen Xin's style of acting was to kill decisively after making a decision. likes to fake other people's hands, and he pretends to be loyal to the court. I heard from Li Yongfang about the means of dealing with the gentry. It can be known that he is the kind of person who attaches more importance to practical interests, and between fame and fortune is to take profit and sacrifice fame, and he has never looked at the gentleman in his eyes. It would be good if Gao Hongzhong could come back with his life, at least it shows that Chen Xin is still willing to maintain private contact, and it is nothing to die a few Han people. As for the time of humiliation, it is not good at this time, and it is not the time to calculate.

"Then what did Chen Xin say?"

"He does not recognize my Dajin as a reciprocal country, but only says that it is a chaotic army in the Jianzhou Department, and it cannot be called a country if it temporarily occupies Liaodong."

Huang Taiji said lightly: "It's still the cliché of those officials of the Ming Kingdom, at this time, every time they talk about peace, it is fruitless, he Chen Xin, a military attaché, also pays attention to this way." ”

Gao Hongzhong bowed his head and said: "He just didn't allow the slave to say, and then the slave said that the Great Khan personally brought a message to him, so he got off the donkey, and the slave took the opportunity to put forward the conditions, which was what the Great Khan said." Chen Xin neither refused nor agreed, only said that the minions were empty words, let us retreat from Fuzhou and Xiuyan, the west of the two sides to cover the middle of the Yulinpu as the boundary, the north and south twenty miles are not garrisoned, the east can not cross the Phoenix City. ”

Huang Taiji laughed, this was like Chen Xin's condition, and he asked Gao Hongzhong, "Then how did you reply." ”

"The slave said that he wanted to discuss with the Great Khan, and Chen Xin talked about North Korea again, he now seems to have a close relationship with North Korea, and asked the Great Khan not to send troops to coerce North Korea, but they can communicate with each other."

Huang Taiji waved his hand to interrupt, these terms come and go, in fact, they are only temporary measures, there is no room for enforcement, such a private contract can also be torn up at any time, he said to Gao Hongzhong: "Say the most important one." ”

"Chen Xin wants a banner master, if the flag owner has his hand, he will no longer chase and kill my Houjin army, and promise not to take the initiative to cross the north of Fuzhou in the future, if I enter the Dajin, then Dengzhou Town will pretend to pass Fuzhou, and each time the Great Khan will give three hundred coated heads."

Huang Taiji narrowed his eyes after listening, and Gao Hong waited for Huang Taiji's reply. The night raid outside was in full swing at this time, and the sharp howling sounded again, followed by explosions, and some panicked shouts came from the camp.

The sound of the explosion was still some distance away from the middle camp, Huang Taiji was motionless on the chair, the tent door moved, Sonny hurriedly came in, and whispered to Huang Taiji: "Great Khan, those big rockets that Nikan fired from the west of the Lushun River, our people who are defending against night attacks are on the east bank, and it is impossible to stop them at the moment, please take shelter for a while." ”

Huang Taiji shook his head slightly, then stood up and walked back and forth in the tent, and after a moment he stopped and asked Sony, "How many days will Yue Tuo be there?" ”

"Two days' work."

Huang Taiji turned his head to Gao Hongzhong and said, "Gao Aiqing will go again before dawn, and he will say that I have agreed." ”

After Gao Hongzhong stepped back, Sony whispered to Huang Taiji: "Great Khan, none of Chen Xin's words are credible, and everything he mentions is extremely unreasonable. ”

"I know that no benefit will be given to him. Chen Xin won a small victory in Lushun, it was when the morale of the army was extremely high, he got carried away and acted naturally perversely, first stabilized him for two days, let him be proud for a few days, once he passed the South Pass, see what his cavalry was still chasing. ”
