Chapter 214: The First Good General of the Season of the Season is You

"And what if it is now?"

Cao Wenzhao sighed: "Although I lost the soldiers handed down by the Qi family, but now it is much better, and the people under him are trained according to the tactics and tactics of the grandfather of the country, even if there is an encounter with the Tartars, the last general is confident that they will be caught off guard." ”

Cao Wenzhao is Cao Wenzhao after all, known as 'the first good general in the late Ming Dynasty', if it weren't for the interference of the eunuchs, he would not have died so early.

"In this way, when I meet Huang Taiji later, you will protect my safety..."

...

Huang Taiji was able to snatch the position of Houjin Great Khan from so many people, in addition to the means, but also because of his good luck, if he had not intentionally gone to Nurhachi's hot spring resting place to visit, he would not have met Nurhachi so coincidentally and died.

Now, as the leader of the entire Eight Banners, Huang Taiji's insight is undoubtedly the highest, and his father Nurhachi's ultimate goal is to divide Liaodong from the Ming Dynasty across the Shanhaiguan, of course, this is also the idea of the entire Eight Banners aristocracy.

Only Huang Taiji...

He saw that if the Jurchens wanted to win the world with the Ming Dynasty, they had to enter the customs, and the first condition for entering the customs was to allow the Eight Banners army to come and go freely in the entire Liaodong.

The herald ran into the big tent and knelt down on one knee towards Huang Taiji, who was sitting on the throne of the Khan: "Qi Great Khan, the Ming army has arrived at Xiping Fort, and the forward sentry is across the river from our army. ”

Huang Taiji closed his eyes, and his son Hauge stood aside in armor: "Who is the banner?" ”

"Da Ming Liang Guogong, Dingwu Army Chief Soldier Chen..."

Haoge turned around and bowed his head to Huang Taiji and said, "Ama, it's Chen Cao." ”

Huang Taiji slowly opened his eyes and slowly let out a sigh: "Dai Shan, why don't you run for me, and go to explore Chen Cao's reality first." ”

It is very important to stand in line, and it is obvious that Dai Shan did not contribute to the battle for the throne of Khan, which shows that he is very self-aware, of course, the point is that many of his sons and nephews support Huang Taiji.

"Huh..."

.

Although Hong Chengchou has been with Zhang Heming for a long time, he is Chen Cao's person in the final analysis, after Zhang Heming was removed, this guy has become the governor of Guangning, of course, the jurisdiction is only around Guangning City, and it is also under the jurisdiction of Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong.

The reason why Hong Chengchou of later generations blocked the Manchu Qing for so long was that in addition to his personal ability, the people under him were also important, but unfortunately, most of those famous generals in Liaodong at the end of the Ming Dynasty are now in the hands of Chen Cao.

If it weren't for the uselessness of the imperial court, this guy would not have surrendered to the Manchus.

"Lord Hong, the people who built slaves have already crossed the river, and the things that Grandpa explained have to rely on you..."

Cao Wenzhao personally escorted Hong Chengchou to the ferry of the Shuangtaizi River, and saw that the Tartars on the opposite side had crossed the river, so he rode his horse back more than a dozen steps, and let Hong Chengchou and the two soldiers go together, which is enough to prove the sincerity of the talks.

Dai Shan couldn't imagine that the civil officials of the Ming Kingdom would dare to come to the meeting, since the rise of Nurhachi, the civil officials of the Ming State did not dare to talk to them, and all the generals who came.

Dai Shan had been educated by Ning Wan and others, and he also knew the etiquette of the Ming Kingdom, and after getting off the boat, he arched his hand towards Hong Chengchou, who came on foot: "I am Dajin Belle Dai Shan, I don't know what to call it?" ”

Hong Chengchou felt that these Liaodong savages actually knew that etiquette was so rare, and he also came with a mission: "This official is Hong Chengchou, the governor of Guangning in the Ming Dynasty, and he is polite on behalf of Baylor." ”

Both of them only brought two guards, Hong Chengchou smiled, although the Jurchens are more barbaric, but Dai Shan is an alternative, he is very gentle, so he doesn't look so fierce.

"This official came on the order of the Duke of Liang Guo to discuss the meeting place with your Jin State."

Dai Shan also came by order, and this meeting was the second wave of envoys from the Ming Kingdom since the rise of their Jurchens.

"The two armies have not yet started a war, and your governor of Liaodong is also negotiating peace with us, and the meeting place is still the best place for my Great Khan to be here."

"Estuary?" Hong Chengchou frowned: "The two sides are talking on the river? ”

Dai Shan nodded: "In order to ensure the safety of both sides, the river talks are the best choice." ”

Hong Chengchou said again: "How about the entourage? ”

"Each side shall bring two retinues, except for those who rocked the boat, no more than ten people in a boat, and more importantly, neither side shall carry any weapons," replied Dai Shan, "As for the shore, then it is up to you to do with it, after all, it is the greatest sincerity for my Great Khan to talk with your prince in a noble state." ”

Hong Chengchou nodded and arched his hand: "Since this is the case, the official will agree, and after going back, he will inform the Guogong, how about the time?" ”

Dai Shan said: "And it is scheduled to be three days later..."

.

"Do you think he's afraid of death?"

Chen Cao looked around at everyone in the tent, and Sun Chuanting raised his eyebrows: "Grandpa, once the talks collapse, they will have to fire arrows on the shore..."

Lu Xiangsheng also expressed his concern: "Jiannu has no faith, if they break out, the Shuangtaizi River is not wide, their bows and arrows are enough to shoot, grandpa, it's better to be careful." ”

"The inland river is stable, but speaking across the boat can't let me see Huang Taiji's face and expression carefully," Chen Cao's face was serious: "Besides, Huang Taiji dared to take risks in person this time, in fact, it was to test me, after all, the defense map was given from me, if the sincerity was not enough, he, the old fox, would definitely not be fooled." ”

Huang Chunyao fanned a fan, the main reason was not to fan the wind, but to improve his temperament as a 'life-killing scholar': "Grandpa's analysis is good, but if Grandpa takes the initiative to take risks, if Jiannu and his gang suddenly make trouble, it will be a dangerous thing for Grandpa." ”

"It's a pity that Huang Degong and Lou Xingye are not there, otherwise..."Chen Cao's eyes lit up, and then he suddenly said: "There is also Cao Wenzhao..."

...

On the fourth day of the sixth month of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the Shuangtaizi River, the wind and the sun are beautiful, and it is advisable to talk about peace...

"What?"

The corners of Huang Taiji's mouth rose and looked at the river: "This Chen Cao really has some courage, since this is the case, he can't fall into the majesty of my Eight Banner warriors, come to someone, pass the order, and order the Yellow Banner to be in front of the armor tent..."

On a flat sand boat, Chen Cao rode on a war horse, so as to show the momentum of a generation of famous generals, and beside him stood Cao Wenzhao and his nephew Cao Bianjiao, both of whom were dressed in bright light armor, with a Yanling war knife on their waists, and a horse lance in their hands, majestic.

When the boat arrived at the shore, Chen Cao rode his horse to the shore first, and Dai Shan was already waiting here.

"Dajin Country Baylor, Aixin Jueluo Daishan, I have seen Chen Cao, the Duke of Liangguo of the Ming Kingdom..."

Chen Cao arched his hand and smiled: "On behalf of the good Belle Duo Ceremony, please take my father-in-law to see your family Khan." ”

Huang Taiji built a one-person high platform outside the big tent, and he sat on the high platform, with five hundred elite armored soldiers with yellow flags standing on horses on both sides and behind him, all of them were energetic and fierce.

The fluttering of the Eight Banners in the spring breeze added a lot of momentum to the talks.

Before walking to the Yuanmen, Cao Wenzhao immediately stepped forward and shouted at the top of his voice: "Daming Liang Guogong, Chen Cao, the chief soldier of the Dingwu Army, came to visit the Jurchen Great Khan Emperor Taiji..."

At this moment, it should be noted that even in the last years of Chongzhen, no one in the Ming Kingdom recognized the status of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and still called them 'Jiannu, Tartar' and other titles, and officially called them Jurchen Great Khan at most when the two sides had contact, and would never call them 'Dajin Kingdom' or 'Great Qing Kingdom' and other titles.

Huang Taiji naturally didn't mind this matter, and from time to time someone in the camp shouted: "The Great Khan of the Dajin Kingdom has invited Chen Cao, the Duke of the Liangguo State of the Ming Kingdom..."

Chen Cao took Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew to ride their horses into the camp slowly, and on both sides of the camp road were armored cavalry ready to go, only exposed under the cloth armor; A pair of eyes.

In front of the high platform of Huang Taiji, Chen Cao gave his hand on the horse: "Great Khan, fortunately..."

Huang Taiji stood up, and Hao Ge next to him was surprised, and immediately whispered beside Huang Taiji: "Ama, no, this person is Wang Xiaojie, the chief soldier of Liaoxi, and he was the one who met his son last time in Guangning City." ”

Chen Cao was dressed in a big red Guogong python robe, lined with a plate armor inside, even if it was a wide python robe, it also set off some square appearance on the chest, and the righteousness of his body, Huang Taiji didn't look like someone else was pretending to be when he looked closely.

"I haven't seen Chen Cao in the first battle of Xiping Fort back then, the Ming people are extremely strict in rank, and no one will dare to pretend to be a duke to negotiate with us."

Huang Taiji patted his cuffs, and then said: "Haoge, what you saw in Guangning should be Chen Cao, but he pretended to be that Wang Xiaojie." ”

The meeting should be polite, Huang Taiji stood up enough to show his attitude, and waited until Chen Cao walked on the high platform alone and faced Huang Taiji, Chen Cao gave up his hand again: "Great Khan, the first time we meet, if there is something wrong with this father, I hope that the Great Khan will tolerate one or two." ”

Ning Wan, as the early refuge of the Jurchens, was standing behind Huang Taiji with Hao Ge at this moment, he carefully observed the young Ming Guogong in front of him, and then continued to bow his head and remain silent.

"Liangguo Gong is really bold, he actually came to my camp with two people alone, Ben Khan appreciated it very much, and it is no wonder that he dared to take those guards to fight in Xiping Fort back then."

The two parties sat down on the high platform, and Chen Cao said with a smile: "Each is its own master, don't be surprised by the Great Khan, now my Liaodong army is not also chased and beaten by the Great Khan's Eight Banners Army, right?" ”

"Hahaha..."Huang Taiji laughed twice, and then looked at Chen Cao with interest: "When my father Khan was reincarnated, he attached great importance to you Liang Guogong, after all, many people in the Eyi family died in your hands, right?" ”

Others are making fun of you, you can't show disdain at this time, Chen Cao sighed and said: "It's all about their own masters, what kind of bravery are you talking about." ”

When Huang Taiji heard this, he praised Chen Cao even more, and only then did he say: "I don't know if the Duke of Liangguo knows that Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, is negotiating peace with my Dajin?" ”
