Yang Chengying led his staff to stand on a high ground at the foot of Niutou Mountain, looking north.

A large number of heavily armed Liaodong troops marched neatly and passed through Niutou Mountain in an orderly manner.

After Niutou Mountain, and then past is the city of Haizhou that towers over the plain.

When I arrived in Haizhou, it was only eighty miles away from Anshan City in Houjin.

A sentinel Pegasus arrived, and he ran to Yang Chengying to report: "Commander, there are Tartar cavalry near Haizhou, and General Kong has led the army to drive away. ”

"Got it." Yang Chengying was not disturbed at all, and observed the march of the army with a monocular.

Behind him, Zhang Cunren, who was already the commander of the new first division, said: "It seems that the Tartars are testing and immediately retreating when they find out that a large part of our cavalry. ”

"This shows that Huang Taiji is also here, otherwise he would not have sent a large number of sentry cavalry, forcing Kong Youde to lead the cavalry to attack."

Yang Chengying said: "Pass the order, the whole army will speed up, and we must arrive at the city of Haizhou today to ensure that the soldiers have a good night's sleep." ”

"Yes." The herald stood upright, and then Pegasus reported to the flag bearer in the high place, as well as the other heralds.

In order to do it as soon as possible after the autumn harvest, Yang Chengying postponed many things.

For example, in addition to bidding farewell to Xu Guangqi and other court officials, there are also Mongolian tribal leaders. The rest of the things were left to Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan, and he only concentrated on dispatching troops.

Xu Guangqi and the others all left, and only an uninvited guest insisted on staying.

This person is none other than Yang Sichang.

At this moment, he stood with Yang Chengying.

Yang Chengying handed the telescope to Yang Sichang: "Governor Yang, take a look." ”

Yang Sichang had never used a telescope, so he took the telescope with a suspicious look and observed Yang Chengying just now.

When he saw the army marching neatly, he was full of envy, and he was even more puzzled: "Yang Shuai, how did your army march so neatly?" ”

"It's related to years of training, and you have to prepare enough food and grass."

Yang Chengying replied unreservedly.

This Yang Gebu, who will be in a high position in the future, even if he learns it, he is backed by the imperial court that can't make money, and no matter how good his experience is, it will be in vain.

"If every general soldier can be like Yang Shuai, I think the world will be peaceful."

Yang Sichang touted it with bad intentions.

provoked Yang Chengying to laugh: "If that's the case, it should be changed to our Majesty's restless sleep...... Haha......"

Yang Sichang smiled awkwardly.

Obviously, he also knew that he was overtalking.

The news that the Liaodong Army was about to arrive in Haizhou soon reached Huang Taiji's ears.

He kept his eyes on the map, patiently looking for a way to break the enemy.

"Great Khan, the enemy is obviously prepared, and will never retreat until he achieves his goal."

Yue Xuan, who arrived at Anshan City with the army, said in a deep voice: "Our army should give full play to the advantages of its cavalry and fight a decisive battle with the enemy outside Anshan City. ”

In the future, you don't need to be Yue, Huang Taiji knows it.

When they got close to Anshan City, Yang Chengying's artillery unit was going to blow up the newly built Anshan City.

"No hurry!" Huang Taiji raised his hand and said, "The strength of our army is still there, and we are not afraid of the attack of the Ming army at all." ”

He turned to Ying Erdai and said: "You are proficient in Chinese, and you have dealt with the Ming army in Liaodong, I appoint you as the envoy to the Ming army camp." ”

"Peace?!" The ministers of Houjin and Baylor were taken aback.

"That's right, you go and handle it."

Huang Taiji nodded in confirmation.

"Huh." Inordai walked out of the room, looking puzzled.

It only said that it was a peace negotiation, but did not give any conditions for negotiation, and this is what kind of peace negotiation.

But he soon learned that his worries were unfounded.

As soon as I got out of the city, I met Shuo Xuan.

Shuo Zhi handed him the letter of state for peace, and whispered: "The Great Khan asked you to find out as much as possible about the situation of the Liaodong Army. ”

"Understood." Inordai nodded.

He rode a tall horse, led more than a dozen followers, and soon came to the warning area of the Ming army along the official road.

Then, they were discovered by the Ming army sentry horsemen.

After some interrogation, it was determined that he had come to be an envoy, and the sentry sent him to Haizhou City.

Because Yang Chengying is in Haizhou City.

For the matter of discussing peace, it is a taboo that cannot be mentioned in the Ming Dynasty.

Yuan Chonghuan was killed, and one of the charges was to negotiate peace with Huang Taiji. Those scholars don't care if you negotiate peace or not, as long as you negotiate peace, it is a capital crime.

In history, Chen Xinjia also died because of this.

But Yang Chengying doesn't care, anyway, there are a lot of capital crimes on his head, and it's nothing to negotiate peace.

Hearing this, Yang Chengying ordered someone to invite Ying Erdai to come.

Yang Sichang was there at the time.

After a while, they saw the guards leading the Ingordai towards this direction.

"Yang Shuai, I'd better avoid it." Yang Sichang said.

"It's not appropriate." Yang Cheng replied.

"After all, this is a matter between the Liaodong Army and the Tartars, and I am still not involved as a foreign governor."

Yang Sichang said, turned around and went to the back hall.

Afterwards, the guards led Ingordai to the main hall.

As soon as Yang Chengying saw Ying Erdai, he smiled and said: "I really didn't see that a knowledgeable person from an outsider is a rugged-looking person." ”

"There is a saying in the historical records, judging people by their appearance, and losing their sons."

Ying Erdai shot back without humility or arrogance: "I can't imagine that Yang Shuai, who is famous all over the world, will also make such a mistake." ”

"Haha...... This is just a pleasantry in advance. ”

Yang Chengying smiled and said: "You came here on the orders of Huang Taiji, I don't know what he has to say to me." ”

"I have 100,000 soldiers in the Dajin Kingdom, and your army is only a few tens of thousands. Although they poured into the nest, our army was not afraid. ”

Ying Erdai said calmly: "But I am concerned about the lives of the two armies, and I hope to negotiate peace with your army.

If your army agrees, our army can offer 500,000 taels of silver and 30,000 taels of cloth as a condition for peace. ”

After that, he presented his credentials.

Yang Chengying asked the guards to take the letter of state, and then said: "How can others snore on the side of the couch!"

What's more, your army should know that I was ordered by the imperial court to exterminate the rebels, this is the road.

It is a great righteousness to relieve the people from hanging upside down. ”

"A dog that barks too fiercely may not bite someone."

Ying Erdai said disdainfully: "Your army is so confident, if you turn over and fight, the Ming Court will definitely not forgive you, and when the time comes, you will die without a place to bury." ”

"I don't have to worry about you." Yang Chengying waved his hand, which meant to send off the guests.

Inordai also had no reason to stay, and turned to leave.

Since he had received Huang Taiji's secret order to take advantage of the peace to inquire about the enemy's intelligence, he paid close attention to the situation of the Ming army very carefully on the way back.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard a conversation.

The conversation was between two low-level soldiers.

One of the soldiers said, "I heard that the Tartars are pouring into their nests, and we may not be his opponents." ”

"So what? There are few Tartars, but there are many of us! The marshal has already mobilized conscripts throughout the territory, and he is not afraid of losing for a while, and he can consume the Tartars to death! ”

The other soldier said nonchalantly.

"Ah, then we won't be footcloths to be discarded."

"What is this, even if we die, our family will get a good education, and we can get a generous pension, it is much better than making a dog for a tartar."

"Well, the Tartars are gentle now because we are powerful, and they are disguised."

These words were heard by Yingordai, and his heart began to beat incessantly.
