At noon, Li Yuntian came to the tavern outside Xiaohe Town again.

This time, Li Li and Ruan Yan were late enough to wait for Li Yuntian to hang in the tavern for more than half an hour, even so, Li Yuntian could only swallow his anger and get up expressionlessly to welcome Li Li and Ruan Yan in.

"Lord Mu, our army is preparing to attack Anliang County tomorrow morning, this king has been busy with military affairs just now, so he is late, please forgive me!" After taking his seat, Li Li explained to Li Yuntian with a smile.

"Li Patrol Inspection is busy with official business, and he is idle below, so it doesn't hurt to wait." How could Li Yuntian not be able to hear the show-off and deterrence in Li Li's words, his face suddenly became a little ugly, and both Li Li and Ruan Yan saw that he seemed to be suppressing the panic in their hearts, and pretended to be disapproving.

Li Li saw that Li Yuntian had changed his previous sharpness, and he couldn't help but face his snubbing in anger, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a hint of smugness, it seems that he has the upper hand in today's negotiation.

"Lord Mu, this king heard that you have left, why did you return?" After the wine and food were ready, Li Li took a sip of the wine glass, and looked at Li Yuntian in puzzlement.

"Li Inspection, this official was too young and vigorous before, and I still hope that Li will inspect Haihan." In the face of Li Li's secret ridicule, Li Yuntian's face suddenly showed an embarrassed look, and he raised the wine glass in his hand to Li Li with a sneer.

"To each his own master, this king understands your mood and position." Li Li Void touched Li Yuntian, replied disappreciatively, and then drank it all.

"Inspector Li, this official came back this time to discuss with Inspector Li how to solve the current tension in Jiaozhi." Seeing this, Li Yuntian also drank the wine in the cup and said quietly.

"Lord Mu, it's too late to talk about this matter now, my righteous army will attack Anliang County tomorrow, and there is nothing the king can do about it." Hearing this, Li Li's eyes showed a look of embarrassment, and he rejected Li Yuntian's suggestion, but his eyes were full of a hint of pride, he was happy to see this scene in front of him.

"Li Patrol has to think twice, the war will be ruined, and it will be thousands of lives!" Li Yuntian's face turned pale when he heard this, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade.

"This king doesn't want Anliang County to be bloody, but now that the soldiers of our righteous army are angry with the enemy, their momentum is like a rainbow, and they are bound to win Anliang County, how can this king live up to their enthusiasm?" Li Li shook his head and said quietly, assuming a posture that he had to fight.

"Inspector Li, this official knows that you have difficulties, but in order for the people of Jiaozhi to live a stable life in the future, this official hopes that you will be able to turn the tide and resolve this war."

Seeing that Li Li seemed to have made up his mind to attack Anliang County, Li Yuntian suddenly showed an anxious look, and said in a loud voice, "If Inspector Li feels that the five prefectures in the south of Jiaozhi are not enough to accommodate those sergeants under him, then this official can maneuver around and give you Fenghua Mansion to become your territory in the future." ”

"Lord Mu, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, Fenghua Mansion is now under the control of our army, why do you need to give it to the prince?" Hearing this, Ruan Yan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, and asked in a deep voice, of course, he was responsible for bargaining with Li Yuntian for the negotiation.

"Mr. Ruan, this official knows that Fenghua Mansion is in your hands, and we are now looking to the future to discuss the scope of the area under the jurisdiction of the Li Patrol Inspection." Li Yuntian smiled at Ruan Yan awkwardly, looking a little weak-hearted.

"Lord Mu, there is something unclear below, why did General Dingnan not give the Qinghua Mansion adjacent to the Yi'an Mansion to the prince, but gave the Fenghua Mansion separated from the Qinghua Mansion and the Naturalized Zhili Prefecture to the prince, so that the prince's territory would not be separated?"

Ruan Yan saw that Li Yuntian's explanation was pale and weak, and fine beads of sweat were already oozing from his forehead, so he sneered and stared at him with a stern expression.

"Mr. Ruan, you also know that the only city in the middle of Jiaozhi is Thanh Hoa City, and now the officials of the court are staring at Thanh Hoa City, hoping that General Dingnan can send troops to relieve the siege of the soldiers and civilians of Thanh Hoa City, how can General Dingnan abandon it, otherwise it will inevitably lead to the impeachment of the court officials."

Li Yuntian pondered for a moment, and looked at Ruan Yan a little helplessly, "Besides, Luo Tong, the prefect stationed in Qinghua City, and the commander of Wei, Dazhong, are both stubborn people, and they have already rejected Chengshan Bowangtong's order to withdraw their troops, even if General Dingnan gives the two of them an order, I'm afraid the two of them will not obey the order." ”

"General Dingnan is in charge of the military and political power of Jiaozhi, if even the small Qinghua City can't do anything, how will he gain a foothold in Jiaozhi in the future?" Although Li Yuntian complained there, Ruan Yan was not moved at all and asked coldly.

"Mr. Ruan, Thanh Hoa City is now located in the hinterland under your control, and there are tens of thousands of troops in the outer city, how do you let General Dingnan order Luo Tong and Dazhong to evacuate?"

Li Yuntian immediately smiled bitterly when he heard this, looked at Ruan Yan with a solemn expression and said, "If the people in the city also want to retreat with Luo Tong and Dazhong, I am afraid that they will be wiped out by you before they leave Qinghua Mansion!" ”

Ruan Yan knew that what Li Yuntian said was the truth, and it was impossible for Luo Tong and Dazhong to know about the peace between General Dingnan and Li Li, so they naturally did not dare to act rashly, once they left the shelter of Thanh Hoa City, then they would undoubtedly become the target of those rebels guarding outside.

"They can leave by sea!" However, Ruan Yan had already taken a countermeasure, and replied quietly, "The name of the Daming Sailor moves the world, according to the next view, as long as General Dingnan transfers the Daming Sailor to transport it, then those people in Thanh Hoa City can return to Daming from the port west of Thanh Hoa City!" ”

"That's one way to do it." Li Yuntian couldn't help but be happy when he heard this, and nodded thoughtfully, what he was waiting for was Ruan Yan's words, so that he could evacuate the soldiers and civilians of Qinghua City safely.

"However, this official can't be the master of this matter, so I have to ask General Dingnan for instructions." Then, Li Yuntian looked at Ruan Yan with a vigilant expression, "Mr. Ruan, they won't be in trouble when they retreat, right?" ”

"Don't worry, as long as you don't get into trouble, then you will definitely board the ship from the port smoothly." Ruan Yan nodded to Li Yuntian when he heard this, and replied quietly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, if he could take Qinghua City without blood, then the power of the Ming army in the middle of Jiaozhi would no longer exist.

"Okay, I'll go into the city and ask the chief soldier for instructions, if the chief soldier agrees, I will issue a formal military order to Luo Tong and Da Zhong to retreat, and at the same time, I will also mobilize ships to transport the people." Li Yuntian agreed when he saw Ruan Yan, so he looked at Li Li on the side, "Before this official goes out of the city, I hope that Li Patrol will not attack the city first." ”

"Lord Mu, is General Dingnan really in Anliang County?" Li Li frowned slightly when he heard this, and looked at Li Yuntian with a little suspicion, according to his and Ruan Yan's speculation, General Dingnan would definitely not be in danger, and he should have already left Anliang County.

"My family's chief soldier has always liked to be on the battlefield in important battles, and in the battle of Heiniu Town, the Han King rebels were only a dozen zhang away from the residence of the chief soldier when they were closer."

Li Yuntian shook his head helplessly, and said to Li Li with a rather depressed expression, "This official and many people have persuaded the general soldier to sit in Sanjiang City, but he still insisted on coming to Anliang County, hoping to boost the morale of the Anliang army and people. ”

Li Li didn't know whether what Li Yuntian said was true or false, so he looked at Ruan Yan on the side, Ruan Yan groaned and nodded to him, if you want Luo Tong and Da Zhong to evacuate Qinghua City, there must be a retreat order signed by General Dingnan, otherwise Luo Tong and Da Zhong will definitely defend it.

The reason why Luo Tong and Da Zhong did not retreat last year was because the order given to them by Wang Tong was not worthy of the name and belonged to Yue Yi, so the two refused Wang Tong's order.

Since Liu Sheng was appointed by Emperor Xuande as the commander-in-chief of Jiaozhi to go to Jiaozhi to quell the rebellion, Wang Tong lost the official title of Jiaozhi commander-in-chief, although he was a count, but he did not have the power to give orders to Luo Tong and Dazhong.

General Dingnan is also the chief soldier of Jiaozhi and Guangxi, and is the highest military commander of Jiaozhi, and Luo Tong and Dazhong are capital crimes of killing their heads if they disobey the order, and the two have a clear priority.

If Li Yuntian could really get the official document from Anliang County that was stamped with the seal of General Dingnan ordering the retreat of the Ming army in Qinghua City, then General Dingnan would undoubtedly be in the city, because according to the Ming system, the general seal and the official seal belong to the official's tokens in the officialdom, which must be carried with them, and once lost, they will be severely punished.

Therefore, each of the important officials of the Ming Dynasty had a personal retinue dedicated to keeping the official seal, and this personal retinue belonged to one of the public servants rationed by the imperial court, and his salary was issued by the imperial court.

With the current rank of General Dingnan, in addition to an entourage to keep the official seal, there are also grooms, men, etc., all of which are issued by the imperial court.

If Li Yuntian could get the official document of retreat stamped with the seal of General Dingnan from Anliang County, then General Dingnan would naturally be in Anliang County.

Therefore, as long as Li Yuntian comes out of Anliang County, then the truth will be revealed, and Li Yuntian will not only take an official document ordering the defenders of Qinghua City to retreat, but also take a document to the Nanjing Military Department, and ask the Nanjing Military Department to send Zheng Hehai to Jiaozhi to transport the soldiers and civilians of Qinghua City to Yuntun Port in Xin'an Prefecture, which is controlled by the Ming army.

"Without further ado, this official will enter the city, and I hope that the Li patrol will be accommodating." Li Yuntian saw Ruan Yan nodding to Li Li, and suddenly sneered in his heart, then stood up and arched his hand at Li Li, showing an eager look.

"Don't worry, it's daytime, how do you get into the city in full view?" Li Li smiled slightly when he heard this, and pressed his hand down on Li Yuntian, "When night falls, this king will send someone to send you to the city." ”

Li Yuntian's face immediately showed a look of embarrassment, and he seemed to realize that he was too impatient, so he sat down stupidly.

"Master Mu, since you have the intention to promote this matter, then you don't think that just one Qinghua Mansion can send us away, right?" After Li Yuntian sat down, Ruan Yan picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine gently, then looked up at Li Yuntian and said meaningfully.

Hearing this, a trace of imperceptible contempt flashed at the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, he knew that Ruan Yan was going to open his mouth, but Ruan Yan couldn't imagine it anyway, this was exactly what he wanted to see!
