With Li Yuntian taking charge of Sanjiang City, the situation in Sanjiang City quickly stabilized, social order was quickly restored, and the low morale of the army and civilians was greatly improved.

In order to encourage the soldiers and civilians in the city, Li Yuntian had the streets and alleys of the city post a notice that 100,000 Xiaowu troops would arrive in Jiaozhi in two or three months, telling the soldiers and civilians in the city that as long as they held out in Sanjiang City for two or three months, then the rebels would face annihilation under the offensive of the Xiaowu army.

Since Li Yuntian personally stayed behind to defend the city, the soldiers and civilians in the city naturally believed what he said, otherwise how could Li Yuntian be in danger?

Since arriving in Sanjiang City, Li Yuntian has been very busy, the affairs of Sanjiang City are more cumbersome than Xuanhua City, he has to deal with the complicated government affairs of Sanjiang City, but also arrange the reorganization of the defenders of Sanjiang City, and often can't even take care of eating, so Lei Ting sent him the food in a food box, and supervised him to finish eating before he can be busy with official business.

It is worth mentioning that since entering Jiaozhi, Li Yuntian's daily diet and daily life have been handed over to Lei Ting, and Lei Ting is also the only person in Jiaozhi who dares to urge Li Yuntian to put down his official duties to eat and rest.

To tell the truth, Li Yuntian wanted Lei Ting to stay in Xuanhua City, after all, it was much safer than Sanjiang City, but Lei Ting still stubbornly followed him to Sanjiang City, even if he died, he would die with Li Yuntian.

Lei Ting's current identity is the staff officer next to Li Yuntian, and there are two of her maids in Li Yuntian's guards, Lei Ting is a woman after all, and those two maids can take care of her if there is anything.

That night, the night was dark, and Li Yuntian was in a wing room in the backyard of the Sanjiang Mansion and looked at a piece of paper in his hand with a slight frown.

This piece of paper is a transcription of the peace document signed between Wang Tong and Li Li, and the original version has been sent to the capital with Wang Tong and presented to Emperor Xuande as evidence of Wang Tong's crime.

According to the provisions of the peace document, when Wang Tong led the army to withdraw from Jiaozhi, the rebels must not interfere, and if the soldiers and civilians in Jiaozhi want to leave the Jiaozhi rebels, they must not stop them, and ensure the safety and property of those soldiers and civilians.

However, the actual situation was not as good as stated in this peace document, not only were the soldiers and civilians of the Beigui led by Wang Tong attacked by rebels and mobs along the way, not only were their property robbed, but many people were killed.

As for the rebels' internal army civilians and relatives of local officials loyal to the Ming Dynasty, they suffered heavy casualties, and the rebels and mobs killed them, **** their wives and daughters, and robbed them of their property.

In Li Yuntian's view, this peace document was a complete joke, not only did it have no legal effect, but the rebels did not abide by the agreement.

With a creak, when Li Yuntian stared at the peace paperwork, the door suddenly opened, and Lei Ting, who was dressed in a black military uniform, walked in with a food box.

"It's late at night, why haven't you slept yet?" Li Yuntian immediately laughed when he saw this, put down the peace document in his hand and smiled at Lei Ting.

During this time, thanks to Lei Ting's care, Li Yuntian's life was in order, otherwise Li Yuntian's diet and daily life would be chaotic.

In fact, Li Yuntian felt very strange in his heart, if he remembered correctly, Lei Ting liked to dance with knives and swords since he was a child, and he didn't know how to do housework at all.

But now Lei Ting can not only help him tidy up the room, but also cook delicious dishes, which really surprises Li Yuntian, I don't know when Lei Ting changed sex, maybe she is getting older and more mature.

At this moment, Li Yuntian would never have thought that Lei Ting's change was completely for him, in front of Li Yuntian, Lei Ting found that he couldn't help at all, so he could only take care of Li Yuntian from life, so he learned good cooking skills in Jiangnan and began to learn housework.

"I'll cook you a bowl of porridge and drink it while it's hot." Lei Ting smiled at Li Yuntian, walked up and opened the food box, and placed a bowl of porridge, a plate of flatbread and two side dishes in front of Li Yuntian.

"It smells so good." Li Yuntian sniffed the food on the table, smiled at Lei Ting, picked up the chopsticks and feasted, he was indeed hungry now.

"Big brother, what do you think of this?" While Li Yuntian was eating, Lei Ting picked up the transcription of the official document on the table with some curiosity, which was simply a piece of waste paper.

"Cheng Shanbo and Li Li agreed that the two sides would 'stop their own troops, become a state of brothers, and cultivate the good of eternity'." Li Yuntian took a bite of the flatbread he was holding in his hand, chewed a few bites and swallowed it, and then smiled at Lei Ting, his smile was a little cunning, "If the eldest brother uses this reason to talk to Li Li, do you think he will be satisfied with the status quo and be satisfied with the territory he occupies now?" ”

"Big brother, do you want to make peace with Li Li?" Lei Ting was stunned when she heard this, Emperor Xuande could have ordered the rebellion of Jiaozhi to be quelled, and Li Yuntian's move was no different from Wang Tong.

"The art of war is cloudy, and soldiers are not tired of deceit." Li Yuntian shook his head and explained with a smile, "The current battle situation in Jiaozhi is extremely unfavorable to our army, and the current garrison of Jiaozhi alone cannot reverse the decline at all. ”

"Big brother, can Li Lita believe you?" Lei Ting now understood Li Yuntian's intentions, Li Yuntian originally wanted to delay time and reorganize the Xiaowu army, and she was suddenly relieved in her heart, she knew that Li Yuntian was not the kind of person who negotiated peace in private, and then asked suspiciously.

"Li Li doesn't know the situation of our army now, and the eldest brother announced to the outside world that he has brought 100,000 Xiaowu troops, which will definitely bring him great pressure."

Li Yuntian took a sip of the hot millet porridge, tasted the taste, and then said to Lei Ting with a smile, "Although the rebels are now outnumbered, this also means that they will face a lot of grain and grass consumption, and the rebels have limited ways to raise grain and grass, the longer this battlefield lasts, the more unfavorable it will be for the rebels, Li Li has now occupied more than two-thirds of the territory of Jiaozhou City and Jiaozhi, if he can keep the existing territory, he must not be willing to be the enemy of our army." ”

Lei Ting nodded when she heard this, feeling that Li Yuntian was reasonable, she had followed Li Yuntian these days and witnessed Li Yuntian handling the military and political affairs of Xuanhua Mansion and Sanjiang Mansion, and already knew that the army's consumption of military rations was much greater than that of the same number of people's rations, which would undoubtedly become a huge burden for the Jiaozhi rebels.

"In order to gain Li Li's trust, the eldest brother will definitely give him a generous gift!" Li Yuntian's words were not finished yet, and he said to Lei Ting with a smile while biting the big cake in his hand, which seemed a little unfathomable.

"Generous gifts?" Lei Ting suddenly looked at Li Yuntian curiously, she didn't understand what gift Li Yuntian would give to Li Li.

"Now in the area controlled by the rebels, there is a city that is still in the hands of our army, Li Li must want to get it, in this case, the eldest brother will give him that city, so that he will believe in the sincerity of the eldest brother." Li Yuntian smiled at Lei Ting and said methodically.

"Thanh Hoa City!" As soon as Lei Ting heard it, she knew which city Li Yuntian was talking about, and her eyes suddenly showed a look of shock.

Thanh Hoa City is the seat of governance of Cochin Thanh Hoa Province, and it is also a military town in the central region of Cochin, with high walls and thick walls, and its city defense ranking can rank among the top three among the cities in Cochin, and it has been firmly in the hands of the Ming army since the rebellion of the Cochin rebels.

It is worth mentioning that Le Li's hometown is in Thanh Hoa Province, and before the rebellion, he was inspected by a local inspection department, and he had sent troops to attack Thanh Hoa City several times, but they were all repelled by the defenders of Thanh Hoa City.

In the face of the tall walls of Thanh Hoa City, those rebels from ordinary people were at a loss, and there was no way to attack the city, which made Li Li quite embarrassed and annoyed in his heart.

A few months ago, Li Li had sent Cai Fu, a former Ming army general who had surrendered to the rebels, to Thanh Hoa City to persuade him to surrender, but was scolded by Luo Tong, the governor of Thanh Hoa Province.

Since then, in order to avoid heavy casualties in the rebels' siege of the city, Le Li changed his strategy against Thanh Hoa City, besieging but not attacking, and preparing to wait for the food in the city to be eaten before making plans.

"Big brother, Luo Tong had previously refused Cheng Shanbo's order to evacuate, you have to ask him to give up Qinghua City, which he has worked so hard to defend, he will disobey his orders." Then, Lei Ting remembered something and couldn't help but remind Li Yuntian in a coquettish voice.

After the defeat of Liu Sheng's army, Wang Tong secretly sent someone to find Li Li, promising to beg for Li Li to be crowned king, and promised to cede the land south of Thanh Hoa Province to Li Li, hoping that Li Li would withdraw his army.

Li Li was overjoyed when he saw Wang Tong's envoy, before the rebellion, he did not think that one day he would be able to own the area south of Thanh Hoa Province in Jiaozhi, and he did not have the confidence to defeat the army of the Ming Dynasty, so he sent a letter to Wang Tong, expressing his willingness to strike the army, but Wang Tong must give him the city of Thanh Hoa south of Thanh Hoa Province, and then the two sides will not violate the river water in the future, and turn the war into jade silk.

It is a pity that Luo Tong, the governor of Qinghua Prefecture, and the commander of Wei refused to carry out Wang Tong's order to evacuate, which made Wang Tong angry like thunder, and Qinghua City was still in the hands of the Ming army.

"In the past few months, the food in Qinghua City must have been consumed, and it is undoubtedly a dead end for them to stay here."

Li Yuntian knew about Luo Tong and Dazhong's disobedience, and after a deep sigh, he said, "Big brother admires their loyalty and courage very much, but the purpose of the war is to win the final victory, and we should not care about the gains and losses of one city and one place. ”

"The eldest brother has already decided, he will go to Qinghua City in person at that time, and let the two of them leave with the eldest brother, the eldest brother needs people like them in Jiaozhi." As he spoke, Li Yuntian swallowed the flatbread he was chewing in his mouth, smiled at Lei Ting, and lightly told her about a top-secret decision.

"Big brother, you're going to Qinghua City!" Lei Ting was stunned at first when she heard this, and then immediately became anxious, and said in a loud voice, "No, as the general of Dingnan, how can you go to danger, in case there is any accident, the soldiers and civilians in Jiaozhi will be in chaos." ”

"Sister, what even you can't think of, how could the rebels think that the eldest brother would go to Qinghua City?" Li Yuntian smiled disappreciatively and explained, "Only by giving Qinghua City to Li Li will he believe in the sincerity of the eldest brother, and the eldest brother will be able to buy time." ”

"Don't worry, as long as Li Li and the eldest brother reach an agreement, those rebels in Jiaozhi will not dare to hurt the eldest brother." Saying that, Li Yuntian comforted Lei Ting with a smile.

"Big brother, when are you going to see Li Li?" When Lei Ting heard this, she knew that Li Yuntian had made up her mind, so she no longer persuaded each other, and asked with a concerned expression.
