Sian.

After receiving the message from Zhang Changgeng, the governor of Huguang, Bai Rumei, the governor of Shaanxi, immediately summoned Jia Hanfu, the governor of Shaanxi, to discuss.

Jia Hanfu was a ruffian in his hometown when he was a teenager, and later became a military officer to a deputy general in Huai'an.

In the second year of Shunzhi, the Prince of Yu Duoduo, who descended to the south, was carried into the Han army of the Zhenglan Banner by virtue of his wife's dedication.

Now he is the governor of Shaanxi, and he has built water conservancy, attaches importance to education, and founded a college, but he also has a very good official reputation.

He has several sons, but the eldest son, Zu Wang, is not very much like him.

There are rumors that Jia Hanfu's eldest son is actually the species of Prince Yu Duoduo, but this matter has not been confirmed by the parties.

No one refuted the rumors.

After receiving the notice, Jahan, who was busy raising food and grass for the front, rode to the governor's yamen in Mancheng.

Although he is a governor, he is a military general and is not used to sitting in a sedan chair.

After arriving, Fang learned from the mouth of the governor Bai Rumei that Zhang Changgeng, the governor of Huguang, was negotiating peace with the Ming army, so he asked the Shaanxi side to suspend the attack on Maolu Mountain, so as not to disrupt the peace talks.

"Does Jiaohou think that the Western Mountain Thieves really want to surrender, or do they pretend to surrender?"

Bai Rumei was born in the Han army with a white flag, and entered the army as a leader, and her qualifications were much higher than Jia Hanfu, the former Ming deputy general who later carried the flag.

Jia Hanfu was quite strange: "The previous battle report said that Jingxi General Mulima defeated Huanglongshan and lost most of the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Forbidden Brigade, so the Ming army should be able to hold out for a while, why did it suddenly fall?" ”

"The Ming army is poor, and a victory or defeat is not enough to change the situation, and my soldiers have taken the Shahao Cottage, so they only need to fight steadily and steadily, and it will not take time to break the West Mountain."

Bai Rumei thought that the Ming army should be sincerely begging to surrender, and this time it should be taking advantage of the victory to seek peace in order to strive for favorable resettlement conditions, but he did not want to fulfill Zhang Changgeng's wish.

Because once the Ming army was successfully appeased by Zhang Changgeng, the first merit of suppressing the thieves must be his Zhang Changgeng.

This made Bai Rumei uncomfortable.

Since the first year of Kangxi, the three provinces have used troops to Kuidong at the same time, for which Shaanxi has sent people and food, and even killed a Manchurian deputy capital, but in the end he can't get any credit, and no one is reconciled.

At present, the soldiers and horses of the three provinces have made significant progress in Shaanxi, and the reason why the Ming army is seeking peace may have something to do with it, so Bai Rumei is even more reluctant to order a truce on the front line.

Because, he thought that even if the Ming army wanted to beg to surrender, it should be begging to him in Shaanxi, but now he was begging to surrender to Huguang, which had not made much progress, and obviously looked down on him as the governor of Shaanxi.

But he didn't want to be impeached by Zhang Changgeng afterwards, so he wanted to hear Jia Hanfu's opinion.

After all, it is also what the imperial court is happy to see to appease the Western Mountain Thieves as soon as possible to end the protracted war.

If he really wants to be appeased because he is bad, I am afraid that the imperial history will impeach him, and Zhang Changgeng will also trouble him.

After understanding the Governor's thoughts, Jia Han pondered and suggested that the matter be handed over to Fu Kachan, the general of Xi'an.

That is, to kick the ball to Fu Kazen.

According to Jia Hanfu's understanding of Fu Kachan, this Xi'an general must not agree to the truce, and his desire for merit is even more fiery than that of the governor, otherwise he would not personally supervise the Manchurian troops to enter Zhushan City on the front line.

In addition, hundreds of soldiers of the Eight Banners under Du Min, the deputy capital commander, died in Wushan, and it was impossible for this revenge Fu Kachan not to report it.

Therefore, Jia Hanfu concluded that Fu Kachan would definitely not agree to a truce, which made Zhang Changgeng's wishful thinking come to naught.

After hearing this, Bai Rumei thought so, and the Xuanming Clerk's Office drafted the matter into an official document and sent it to General Xi'an in Zhushan.

Whether it is war or peace is determined by Fu Kazen

Xingshan City.

Niu Wancheng, the chief soldier of Xunyang, has been in a very good mood recently, because everything is under his control.

That is, the thighs are hugged right!

Since becoming the "life-saving benefactor" of General Tuhai in Dingxi, Niu Wancheng's market has been constantly bullish.

First, he was ordered by Tuhai to collect the rout, and then he was entrusted by Tuhai to defend the southern line, and then led the troops into Xingshan City, and the total number of battalions controlled by him was as much as more than 15,000, like the first red man around General Dingxi.

Although he didn't dare to wrestle his wrist with his old boss Dong Xueli, Niu Wancheng believed that as long as he unswervingly hugged Tuhai's thighs, there would be a day when the flag would be raised.

When the time comes, when I see Dong Xueli again, I may not be able to call him "Old Dong".

The fly in the ointment is that I almost screamed to death a few days ago.

The reason is that the gang of dogs in the Sichuan Green Camp occupied Badong without saying hello, and everyone in Huguang thought that the Sichuan soldiers were going to rebel.

Admiral Dong Xueli asked Niu Wancheng to lead his troops into Padang to deal with the deterioration of the situation.

Niu Wancheng dares to go?

Don't look at the battalion soldiers he controlled, but most of them were scattered soldiers, and the Sichuan soldiers who couldn't even beat the Ming army were really vicious.

So, panicked.

Fortunately, the situation eased with the sudden withdrawal of the Sichuan Green Camp from Padang.

There was a tacit understanding from top to bottom, and when this incident did not happen, they all tacitly acquiesced that the Sichuan Green Battalion stationed in Badong was to prevent the Ming army from escaping out of Sichuan.

Even the Dingxi general Tuhai is in this tone.

Just as everyone in the world knows that the imperial court will cut Wu Sangui's domain, Wu Sangui will definitely rebel, but everyone in the world also knows that as long as Wu Sangui does not rebel for a day, this day will go on day by day.

But two days after the hanging heart was put down, Niu Wancheng's heart was raised again.

The Ming army that escaped out escorted the Jingxi general Mulima everywhere to "swagger and deceive", and even took advantage of the rear's ignorance to capture Jingzhou and Wuchang in succession, and then forced Admiral Dong Xueli to negotiate peace with the Ming army.

Peace talks are peace talks, Lao Niu has no opinion on this, and even hopes that the peace talks will be successful, and everyone will break up and go back to their respective homes.

The problem is that General Tu did not agree to the peace talks, and not only ordered all his troops to continue to besiege the Western Mountain Bandits, but also issued a strict order that whoever dared to negotiate peace would be subject to military law.

This made Niu Wancheng's heart beat a drum.

He was worried that because the Ming army had no way to sue for peace, he would shake out what he had done before, and he would be in trouble.

But he didn't dare to persuade General Tu to talk to the Ming army, and the result was that he had another anxiety attack.

I haven't slept well for two or three days in a row.

Until this day, the general Qi Yikui came to him.

"Your Excellency,"

"Call me Bull Flag."

"Huh? Bull Flag. ”

"What's the matter?"

"The general asked us to launch an offensive against Huanglong Mountain in two days."

Qi Yikui handed over the official document signed by General Dingxi to Niu Qi.

"He can't beat the Manchurian soldiers, what can I fight!"

The melon seeds in the head of Niu Qi are all big, and it hurts to fry them.

Seeing this, Qi Yikui said again: "There is still a letter here for adults, and I want Niu Qi to receive it personally." ”

As he spoke, he handed over a letter.

"Who's?"

"The fifth master's."

"What a fifth master! I have nothing to do with the surname Wang anymore, what kind of letter did he write to me! ”

Niu Qi opened the envelope angrily, and after reading it, his brows suddenly wrinkled, and his heart beat hard.

After a long time, Fang asked Qi Yikui, "That, let me ask you in a whisper, which is thicker between Aobai's thigh and Tuhai's thigh?" ”
