Before going to the main village, Wang Wu went to Beiting Village to meet Zhang Changgeng, the governor of Huguang under the pseudonym Zhang Baosheng, and informed the other party that the Qing soldiers of the Shaanxi Banner Han on the northern front had withdrawn.

Zhang Changgeng was silent after hearing this.

"You don't have to shave your hair now, do you?"

Wang Wu must get a clear reply from Zhang Changgeng, because it is related to whether he can succeed in the "tongue battle".

In other words, only on the premise of not shaving his hair, he was sure to persuade the three old commanders and many generals to temporarily reach an armistice agreement with the Qing court.

Time for space.

Otherwise, I'm not sure.

It is impossible for the three old handsome men to agree to shave their hair.

I didn't want Zhang Changgeng to stare at Wang Wu for a long time, and said quietly: "You think that you can not shave your hair when the northern line is safe, but have you ever thought that this move will make it impossible to advance the peace talks." ”

Wang Wu frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

Zhang Changgeng did not beat around the bush, and frankly said that if Maolu Mountain had been facing the pressure of the Qing army being surrounded on all sides, then there would definitely be many people in the Ming army who would waver, and then they would strongly agree with the peace talks.

But now that the military pressure on Maolu Mountain has eased with the retreat of the Qing army in Shaanxi, the voice of the Ming army continuing to fight will definitely overshadow the voice of peace.

This will lead to the fact that the peace negotiation promoted by Wang Wuxin will go bankrupt due to the improvement of the situation.

That is, the world often says that good intentions do bad things.

Zhang Changgeng's statement made Wang Wu's heart sink, but he had to admit that Zhang Changgeng's opinion was right.

Because the Hong Ministry and Pan Jianjun opposed the peace, it was because the situation began to improve, that they had an unrealistic illusion that they could continue to fight the Qing army to the death.

This is true of both well-informed men, but not so much about the others.

If the Qing army in Shaanxi Province was not resolved on the northern front, it would be impossible for the Qing court to agree that the Ming army would not shave their hair.

As a result, the Qing army on the northern front was resolved, but the Ming army may not support the peace.

It's really a gourd in the water, but this end is exposed.

It's a lot of trouble.

"Actually, you can completely ignore the people of Maolu Mountain, with your wisdom and wisdom to sincerely submit to my Qing Dynasty, it is not too sooner or later to worship the marquis, why do you want to mislead your future for these people? Yaowu, you are still young, and it is good to be enthusiastic, but sometimes you have to take a long-term view. ”

Zhang Changgeng's idea of opposing Wang Wu has never wavered, and he will insert a needle when he gets the opportunity.

If the old thief on the mountain refuses to listen to this kid's peace talks with the Qing Dynasty, maybe he can really pull the other party over.

As long as this kid doesn't mischievous, he doesn't need Shaanxi and Sichuan to do anything, and his Huguang family can wipe out the remnants of the old thief in Maolu Mountain.

As for Wu Sangui's side, we will talk about the future later.

"What did you just call me? Yaowu can also be called? ”

Wang Wu obviously didn't have a good face for Zhang Changgeng, and snorted slightly and pointed to the waterhole not far away.

The meaning is understood by Zhang Changgeng.

Sure enough, Zhang Changgeng didn't say much.

There is obvious disdain in his eyes, obviously saying that you are in a relationship with me, and you have the ability to persuade those old thieves to listen to you.

"You'd better be honest with me, or I'll report you to Ao Shaobao!"

After letting Jiang Tiancheng take a good look at the baby bump in his hand, Wang Wu took people through the mountains and mountains to the main village.

Zhang Changgeng has a lot of black materials.

The most recent incident was the fornication of Wu Sangui's general Ma Bao to attack the Xi'an general Fukhachan.

On the way, Wang Wutong went to the main village with him, Xu Lin and the dumb man analyzed, thinking that three to four percent of the generals attending the meeting should support the armistice and peace, after all, they all know that the current situation is just a false fire and will not last too long.

In this way, he explained the situation and pointed out the advantages of an armistice and peace, which should win the support of more than half of the generals.

However, as soon as the meeting began, the voice of the main battle faction overwhelmed the main peace faction.

The main battle faction, led by Li Keming, the right governor, Zhou Shigui, the former governor, and Ying Shao, the chief soldier, not only opposed the armistice and peace talks with the Qing army, but also demanded that Hu Shuai should immediately deploy a counterattack on Hanzhong.

The reason is that the vitality of the Qing army in Shaanxi has been greatly damaged, while the strength of the Ming army has expanded several times, and now there are more than 10,000 soldiers who can fight together with prisoners and surrendered troops.

The rest of the generals also couldn't figure out how to negotiate peace with the Qing army.

Human.

After all, the Ming army had just won two big victories, and the situation had eased much compared to a month ago, so there was really no reason to discuss peace with the Qing army.

Guo Sheng stood up and said a few fair words for the peace talks.

He believed that although the strength of the Ming army had expanded, the capture and surrender of troops were not reliable, and although the Qing army in Shaanxi had suffered heavy losses, they had built countless fortress fortifications at the junction of Shaanxi and Sichuan a few years ago, which was not at all something that the Ming army could break.

"After this defeat, the Shaanxi side will also be afraid that we will rush out of Kuidong into Shaanxi, so we will definitely set up many obstacles on the road of our army into Shaanxi."

Guo Sheng believes that at present, it is still necessary to take advantage of the favorable opportunity of winning two consecutive victories against the Qing army to negotiate with the Qing court and strive for the maximum interests of the Ming army, rather than blindly and arrogantly thinking that they can turn the tables with this amount of troops.

"At this time, at that time, we couldn't rush through before, it doesn't mean that we can't rush through now!"

Li Keming, the governor of the right capital, said that the spies had found out that the Qing army in Shaanxi had abandoned Zhushan to the line of Mao'er Pass, so they could first enter Sichuan from this road, and then make a detour to Hanzhong to appear in the rear of the Qing army in Shaanxi, and kill them by surprise.

Some generals also said that the Sichuan Green Battalion had also retreated in the direction of Wushan and Daning, and it was completely possible to return to Wushan, or break the blockade of the Huguang Green Battalion on the eastern front.

Basically, few agreed to negotiate an armistice with the Qing army, and they all believed that they should take advantage of this favorable opportunity to expand the results of the war.

Wang Wu's face was silent, but his heart was anxious, and he got up several times and tried to explain to the generals that the current situation was not as optimistic as they imagined, but each time he was forcibly interrupted.

Probably, this is a person who speaks softly.

King Han and King Dong'an sat there and listened carefully to the discussion of the generals, and did not express their opinions.

Hong Minyuan and Pan Jianjun were also silent, as if they knew that their opinions were not important this time, but the important thing was the opinions of Li Laiheng, Hao Shaoqi, and Yuan Zongdi.

The three old marshals obviously had different views on whether the war was or not, Hao Shaoqi was in favor of negotiating a truce with the Qing army, but Li Laiheng and Yuan Zongdi were against it.

The three of them did not argue in public, but Li Laiheng suddenly got up.

As soon as he stopped, the hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes looked at this tiger commander.

After looking around the faces of the generals, Li Laiheng asked everyone a question in a deep voice: "What are we called?" ”

This question made everyone in the hall stunned, including Wang Wu.

"We call it Camp Loyalty! What is loyalty? It is said to be loyal to die rather than surrender, knowing that you can't do it! ”

After Li Laiheng's voice came out, Wang Wu knew that the result of the war and peace had come out.

He was powerless to change the outcome.
