As soon as Sun Chengzong returned to the border pass, he immediately sent someone to deliver a letter to Huang Taiji.

The letter said that if peace was to be negotiated, the two cities would have to be returned, and then trade could be considered. If the Jin State wants to expand its territory, it can occupy Chaoyuxian, and the Ming army will not stop it.

Huang Taiji was not angry after reading the letter, and sent someone to entertain the messenger, prepared gifts for Sun Chengzong, and sent a group of ten people including Fang Jina, the envoy of peace talks, to Ningyuan Yuancheng. The two sides have been in contact many times, and Sun Chengzong also personally went to Ningyuan Yuancheng to receive him with courtesy.

Fang Jina presented a letter from Huang Taiji.

The letter reads: "General Sun Lao has returned to the border pass, and Ben Khan specially congratulates him. The general is mighty and sageful, and can be called the pillar of the Tianyuan Dynasty. Since the rejuvenation of our Jin country, I have never met anyone who can match it, Yang Jingluo lost his master, He Shixian lost Shenyang, Yuan Yingtai lost Hedong, and Wang Huazhen abandoned Guangning. The soldiers of the Eight Banners were invincible, and the soldiers of the Tianyuan Dynasty were defeated again and again. Later, there was Jinning holding each other, and there was damage, and now my Eight Banners Army is helpless against the general. The soldiers of the Jin Kingdom admired the general very much, and compared the general to Zhuge Kongming. However, the general's strength lies in the solidification, and my strength lies in the field battle, and if the Liao is restored, the general is to use his own shortcomings to attack my strengths, and this soldier's taboo is also. The king asserted that the day of the wild battle was the time of the general's defeat, so the wild battle was related to the famous name of the general, and the general should be cautious. Fighting with the Tianyuan Dynasty is really a last resort, if the Tianyuan Dynasty was to be established as a state, there will not be today's life. If the two sides can rest the fighting, rest the border, draw the Daling River as the boundary, and be at peace with each other, the people of Liaodong will thank the general for his kindness from generation to generation. ”

Sun Chengzong saw it, and scolded Huang Taiji in his heart for being shameless. obviously occupies the land of the Ming Dynasty, but he has to pretend to love the people. He looked up at Fangina, who also looked like an envoy of a great power, calm and composed. He was eager to immediately order these Jurchens to be arrested and killed. Shake hands and play dedication. But to do so would be to disrupt the plan. Can you really win the battle with the Eight Banners Army in the Central Plains? Sun Chengzong was not confident, but Ao Bai confidently told him that within ten days, the main force of the Eight Banners Army would be defeated in the Central Plains.

Sun Chengzong trusted Aobai and made his position clear.

"After reading the letter from the King of Khan, and seeing that he had a heart for the people, Ben Shuai was very happy, and I hope this is true. The lords of the past dynasties are all the ministers of my Ming Dynasty, and the two sides have disputes over the accidental killing of Jue Chang'an and Takshi, and the dispute is more than ten years. If you turn the war into a jade silk now, can this handsome person not allow it? But this marshal wants to affirm that you must remove the name of the Jin country, remove the name of the Tiancong year, and serve my Tianyuan Dynasty with courtiers. Liaoyang is the location of my Liaodong capital, Shenyang is my Liaodong important town, and now it has been occupied by you for no reason. ”

In this peace talks, Huang Taiji has an order: you must be patient, you can agree to anything, but you can't be stiff. But Fang Jina still couldn't help but retort: "Our Khan King can't bear to see the people suffer from the war again, and sincerely reopen peace talks, but is it possible for the general to return Liaoyang and Shenyang?" ”

Sun Chengzong said: "My Ming Dynasty is a big country in the Tianyuan Dynasty, and I dominate the country, if the surrounding Qiang States are like the Khan, and occupy the cities of the court at will, what else can I say?" These two cities are the premise of peace talks, and you can go back and tell the truth. ”

Fangina had no choice but to lead the people back to his life.

In the city of Shenyang, there are many fewer people on the streets, and few people patronize the shops when they are open, and the originally lively place has now become very deserted. As things get more expensive, people's purchasing power decreases, and they don't go shopping much, let alone entertainment.

After Huang Taiji received Sun Chengzong's reply, he immediately summoned the Eight Banners Banner Lord, the deputy capital to open a meeting, and many Wenchen were present, among which there were also several Han people, and Fan Wencheng was among them.

Fan Wencheng put forward many suggestions to effectively alleviate the contradictions between the two ethnic groups and reduced the pressure on the Jin State, so Huang Taiji began to reuse him.

Everyone's faces were not good-looking, and Huang Taiji was the first to speak: "Now the situation in our country is not good, there have been disasters for many years, and there is a shortage of food in the territory. The food in Zhang's house is much more expensive than before, and we have to find a way to get food and finances. In this peace talks, Sun Chengzong, the old fox, made excessive demands, saying that let us sell Shenyang and Liaoyang, and if we want to expand our territory, we will occupy Chaoyuanxian. If we go to attack Chao Xian, they will take the opportunity to exhaust their elite troops, and Liaoyang and Shenyang will be tight. ”

Manggultainu said: "How can the bullshit conditions he put forward be agreed? If you want me to say, let's go to encircle Ning Yuanyuan, surround the point to send reinforcements, and kill Man Gui. ”

Dai Shan shook his head and said: "Man Gui is not simple, let's go to fight Ning Yuanyuan, what should we do if he can't defend the city?" When we sent troops to Mongolia, he sent troops to harass us, and as soon as we returned, he also returned to the city. If the Guan Ning army does not go out of the city, we will have to pay a great price if we want to defeat them. You say that the siege of the city, in the end, it is not our food and grass that will be consumed. Even if the mountains and seas can't come to the rescue, and Ning Yuanyuan is defeated, we will be the ones who suffer. ”

Huang Taiji nodded and said: "Big brother is right, the Ming army is smart now, in the past, Yuan Chonghuan built a city with grain outside the Guan, and it was the Ming army that was consumed, and we can get some sweetness when we attack, but now only Ning Yuanyuan is left to harass us, and the situation is reversed." Today's situation is probably related to the Taifu named Huang Peng in Jingyuan City. ”

Jin Guo has a spy who beat people in the Central Plains and brought back a lot of information. They now all know about the existence of "Huang Peng". Abatai said: "Great Khan, listen to the report of the spies, this person is only in his early twenties, what can be the big deal?" Could it be that Da Ming blew it out? ”

Huang Taiji sighed: "The person who blows it out can cut off our business channels in Zhang's house?" He first relied on the eunuch party to fight the Jin merchants, and then helped the emperor eradicate the eunuch party and replace it, and now he has come up with some new measures to suppress the mutiny and popular rebellion in the border towns. Some people with the surname Daming Baiyuan don't know the emperor, but no one doesn't know Huang Peng. This person is said to be both civil and military, the origin is more mysterious, I heard that he participated in the battle of Juehua Island that year, when we attacked Juehua Island, he escaped from the ice, and later detoured back to Daming, married the daughter of the guard of Juehua Island, and made a fortune quickly. ”

When Dorgon heard this, his face turned pale, and he almost couldn't sit firmly in his chair. Only a few people in the Jin Kingdom knew that Yao Qianyu was the daughter of the defender of Juehua Island. If she returns to the Central Plains, the person she marries is likely to be Aobai. Dolgon immediately guessed that Huang Peng was Aobai's pseudonym. As long as the Jin State goes to attack Chao Xian, occupy Chao Xian, and return the city of the Han people, the Ming Dynasty is willing to help the Jin State develop. Isn't this what Ao Bai thinks?

Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng and asked, "Mr. Fan, what do you think we should do at this time?" If we go to attack Chao Xian, will the Ming army really not fight us? ”

Fan Wencheng stood up and saluted: "Back to the Great Khan, Sun Chengzong has a good reputation in the army, his words should be a word, the Great Khan can propose, if the Ming army is willing to withdraw Mao Wenlong's troops in Jiangdong Town, and withdraw Ning Mangui, they will go to fight Chao Yuanxian." As long as they do this, they show sincerity, but in this way, the whole country also needs to return Liaoyang and Shenyang. ”

"Where it has already been beaten, how can it be allowed to go back, they are dreaming." Mang Giltai said: "Is there nothing else to do?" ”

Huang Taiji sighed and said, "Hmph, but there are some adventures, we can pretend to negotiate peace, attack Chao Xian first, and then send troops to attack Daming from the border pass." As long as Wei enters the pass, you can not only grab some property, but also from Jizhou Town to Bei Yuanjing, the Ming army must be Qinwang, and then fight with us in the field, you can annihilate the main force of the Ming army and change the entire situation. ”

Ao Bai understands Huang Taiji and knows that "he has changed." "Huang Taiji's self-righteous strategy has long been seen through by his opponents.

Amin said: "That is to say, we will go to the Central Plains to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army, and strive to destroy their main force." If you attack Chao Xian, do you want to occupy it? If it is defeated, who will stay in one"

Amin wants to stand on his own feet in the court, and Huang Taiji knows it very well in his heart.

This time, Commander Amin must not be allowed to fight the court. Of all the Baylors, for a year, only Dorgon did what he said. Dolgon also proposed a plan to open the imperial examination and reuse Hanchen and others and his mind. He thought of having Dol go and attack Chao Xian.

Huang Taiji smiled slightly and said, "Now the matter of Chao Xian is not in a hurry to discuss, and it is difficult for Dongjiang Town to withdraw. Wait until you write to Sun Chengzong and see what he will do next, right? If he really withdraws Mao Wenlong and Man Gui, of course we have to accept this big gift. Before that, we have to go to the Mongolian tribes, we don't have enough manpower, if the Horqin and Karaqin tribes are willing to send troops to help us rule the dynasty, we can do the division of troops and not be counterattacked by the Ming Dynasty. ”

The crowd praised: "The Great Khan is wise. ”

Only Dorgon was silent. He had already guessed a lot of things and was in conflicted moods. What the turtle worshiped was to drive the Jurchens to Jianzhou or even Chaoyuanxian, isn't this a betrayal of the country? If you tell Huang Taiji, can you stop him?

He calculated the balance of power between the two sides. If the person who controls the million-strong army of the Ming Dynasty is Aobai, the Eight Banners Army led by Huang Taiji has no chance of winning at all. Ao Bai said before, the Eight Banners Army is outside the pass, it can still protect itself, and it is going to enter the Central Plains, and if you are not familiar with the terrain, the weather changes, and the geographical anchor is not too waste, as long as the Ming army is not too wastewood, this battle will undoubtedly be lost. Ao Bai is not only good at soldiers, but also familiar with the fighting of the Eight Banners Army. The main force of the Eighth Banner Army entered the Central Plains, and it may not be able to come back.

Dorgon was in a daze, the meeting was over.

Huang Taiji looked at Dol Yu who was stunned in his seat and asked, "Fourteenth brother, what's wrong with you?" Anything to say? ”

Dol calmed down and said lightly: "Great Khan, are we going to defeat Chao Xian this time?" ”

Huang Taiji frowned and said, "Do you think it's good or bad to knock down Chao Xian?" ”

"It must be good to fight down and increase the country. In this way, we also have an extra way back. ”

Dolgon remembered E-Niang's words before he died, and he decided to believe Aobai.
