Chapter 212 The Deadly Scholar
"Has the messenger returned?"
Gu Linsheng looked around, and then said: "I met Huang Taiji, and he also received a reply from the other side. The detailed information back and forth revealed that Houjin also lacked supplies, but..."
"But what?"
Yuan Chonghuan frowned.
"Although Xizuoyan Houjin is short of supplies, there seems to be no shortage of food supplies. The students have asked the second batch of Xizuo to check this matter carefully. I believe they can verify it when they return."
"Report..." A soldier trotted over and presented an official document to Gu Linsheng with both hands.
Gu Linsheng handed the official document to Yuan Chonghuan. After reading it, Yuan Chonghuan sighed: "It's already this time, just take a look."
"This..." Gu Linsheng read the official document: "Wang Zhichen had been at odds with Ming Gong when he was in Ji Liao. Now he is in charge of Liaodong's manager. Could it be that Wei Wei did this intentionally? Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen learned from the past... .
Also, Liaodong has not sent any eunuchs to guard it for many years, but two eunuchs were suddenly sent...
Ming Gong, Wei Yi is still worried about us. "
"I am a civil servant. If it were not for the power in Liaodong, do you think I, a disciple of a saint with a Jinshi background, would build a shrine for an eunuch?"
The idea of building a shrine to Wei Zhongxian to consolidate his power came from Gu Lin, but it just played into Yuan Chonghuan's ambitions.
"Ming Gong, what about us?"
Yuan Chonghuan sighed, and then said coldly: "No matter what, the increase in Ning Jin's troops this time is an opportunity for me. If I can deceive Huang Taiji, hey, as long as Shuangtaizi River and Daliao River are in my hands again, The Liao Bureau is decided...
There will be no chance for the post-Jin Tatars..."
...
"Don't know what to call me?"
In the Commercial and Taxation Bureau of Guangning City, Chen Cao was pouring tea to the distinguished guests from Jianzhou who came from afar. Even in Guangning City, where there are meticulous works all over the city, the Commercial and Taxation Bureau is the least likely to be suspected.
The young man sitting was dressed in standard Jurchen attire, but because he had entered Guangning City, his golden rat tail braids had been rolled up, and he was also wearing an ordinary felt hat on his head.
There was another person standing next to this person, Liu Shouwen, who was born in one hundred households of Jinyiwei. Now under Wan Qing, he was also dressed in a standard Jurchen dress and came as an entourage.
Of course, Chen Cao would not talk to his follower Liu Shouwen. He even never looked at Liu Shouwen directly after recognizing him from the beginning. The most important thing was to avoid being suspected by his opponents.
"I am just a messenger. I came to Guangning City on the orders of the Great Khan to discuss important matters with General Wang, the commander-in-chief of western Liaoning."
Being able to ask Liu Shouwen to follow him meant that the identity of the visitor was not simple. Chen Cao laughed and said, "I don't know which Baylor's son this brother is. Since he is here for sincere discussions, why not... Only by revealing your identity can I consider whether we can discuss it together..."
The young man frowned. Obviously he didn't know Chen Cao, and naturally he didn't know that Chen Cao was pretending to be Wang Xiaojie.
"Don't worry. Since I dare to discuss matters with you, you must also show your sincerity. Didn't Sun Degong surrender on his own initiative back then?"
At this moment, the young man said: "I am Queen Jinbeizi, Hauge..."
Chen Cao's expression changed. The person in front of him was the 'Prince Su'. However, since Huang Taiji had not yet proclaimed himself emperor, he naturally could not make him a prince. He was just a beggar.
Chen Cao raised his hand and said, "If Beizi can come here in person, it seems that the Great Khan still values me, Wang Xiaojie."
Seeing that 'Wang Xiaojie' did not behave strangely, Hauge felt much more relaxed. Even if he really fell out with the Han people in front of him, he was still confident of escaping from Guangning City: "The Shanxi defense map presented by Malha came from General Wang’s hand?”
"Behind me is Chen Cao, Duke of Liang Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty..."
Hauge was shocked. Chen Cao was well-known within Houjin. He was also a person Nurhaci talked about until his death. Naturally, he was a person who Hauge and other Houjin nobles would remember in their hearts.
"The majestic Duke of the Ming Dynasty actually dared to leak the defense map. What does he want to do? Rebellion? Or is he deliberately leading our Jin army into the fortress so that he can catch them all?"
It's a heart-breaking sentence, but this is what Hauge's father Huang Taiji told him before setting off.
Chen Cao naturally responded calmly: "My father-in-law has made too many enemies in the court, and now he is riding a tiger with difficulty, so..."
The people of Jianzhou are extremely cunning and should not say too much. If you say too much, the other party will become suspicious, and the experienced Chen Cao will naturally not tell everything.
Hauge felt that it made sense in his heart, so he added: "Aren't you afraid that I, Da Jin, will tell you, the Ming Dynasty emperor, everything he did? You must know that your Liaodong governor can negotiate peace with me, Da Jin." ah..."
Wan Qing didn't report this matter, and he didn't even know about it. Chen Cao was shocked when he heard this, and then stared at Hauge: "My father-in-law only cares about his own family affairs now, and he doesn't even have time to care about his life. How can he care about other things?" matter..."
"As far as I know, the Duke of the Ming Dynasty was hereditary..."
"Hahaha, Beizi may have misunderstood. The title of Duke of my country only lasts for one lifetime, and it has not yet reached the point of retiring with the country."
"What do we get?"
Chen Cao unfolded the map and drew it with his hand: "Mongolia completely belongs to Houjin. As long as the safety of my prince is guaranteed, I can give the army of Zugojin a chance here. You can come when you want and leave when you want." Just go, you can come to the mutual market in Guangning City."
"We want iron tools..."
"this is not OK..."
Hauge squinted his eyes. He didn't look like a nineteen-year-old at all. Instead, he looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties. He shook his head slightly: "Mongolia will soon be a subsidiary of my Daikin. Use it." You, the Ming Dynasty, don't need to tell you what to do; but I, the Dajin Iron Cavalry, are now running across Liaodong, and even Yuan Chonghuan can't do anything about it. What can you do in Guangning City?
Also, in this mutual market, haven’t you and I, Daikin, been doing the most trading in the past few years? How much benefit did Malhana's slave receive from you? "
Chen Cao was speechless immediately, and Huang Chunyao next to him lowered his head and said with a smile: "I think Beizi may have some misunderstandings about my Ming Dynasty soldiers."
"Who are you?"
"This is my general's intention to join the army..."
Chen Cao said coldly.
Hauge then looked at Huang Chunyao: "Isn't it like this during Salhu?"
Huang Chunyao laughed again: "My general is just a messenger. What kind of conditions does Beizi think we can put forward? I heard that the Khan of Destiny is re-employing Han people, especially scholars. Otherwise, how could a person with Beizi's status be able to say so? Fluent in Chinese?”
"What a courageous bitch..." Hauge scolded angrily: "I never expected that General Wang would have such a smooth-tongued person. Also, you Ming Dynasty scholars have always been too narrow-minded."
Being ridiculed by Hauge, Huang Chunyao was always smiling. Seeing this, Chen Cao returned to the topic: "Beizi, my father-in-law is sincerely negotiating with Daikin. As long as the demands are not excessive, my father-in-law can do it." accept."
"Your prince cannot represent the emperor of Ming Dynasty."
Hauge's arrogant eyes, including his disdainful expression, made Chen Cao very angry, but he couldn't show it on his face. After all, he was now 'Wang Xiaojie': "Beizi, what do you mean? Is there no result from this meeting?”
"That's because your father-in-law didn't show sincerity..."
"General..." Huang Chunyao bowed in front of Chen Cao and said: "Since they are unwilling to negotiate with us and the Duke has not given us much power, why not forget it..."
Hauge's heart suddenly tightened. Sure enough, the IQ of the 'vulgar' martial artist 'Wang Xiaojie' was definitely not as good as this scholar: "Beizi, I only received so many orders, and it seems that Beizi did not come to discuss with me sincerely. , I can only give up on this;
On the left and right, everyone who comes is a guest, Beizi and his group of businessmen are doing business in Guangning City, as long as they do not violate our prohibition in Guangning City, let them do it;"
As he spoke, Chen Cao politely handed over his hand to Hauge: "Beizi, I have something else to do, please..."
.
"This person must have other purposes, so he deliberately pointed here and there in front of me," Chen Cao looked at Huang Chunyao: "What do you see?"
Huang Chunyao had been frowning since he entered the room. It was not until long after Chen Cao finished speaking that he said, "Master, the student has a bold guess."
"speak..."
"Yuan Chonghuan sent someone to express condolences when Nurhaci died. It was to express condolences but actually to find out the true and false facts of the slave establishment. The students speculated that Yuan Chonghuan must have found out the true and false facts of his opponent before he was so thoughtful and wrote five memorials to the emperor. The increase in troops in Liaodong, and the fact that there was no response from Jiannu after we presented the defense map, is enough to prove one thing;
Jiannu has already explored the defense line of the Great Wall, and then came to Guangning City to find out the authenticity, and this time Yuan Chonghuan's army is approaching, if Jiannu wants to win this battle, he must attack on both sides..."
Chen Cao frowned and then realized: "You mean Jiannu is also stalling for time now?"
Huang Chunyao nodded deeply: "Didn't Hauge say that Yuan Chonghuan is also negotiating peace with them? He is a mere governor of Liaodong and is not qualified to negotiate peace with Jiannu on behalf of the court. If the court finds out about this, he will definitely be sued as a secret agent. The most minor crime is beheading..."
Chen Cao knew very well how Yuan Chonghuan died. Wasn't it because Jiannu used a counter-intuitive plan to get Chongzhen to Lingchi, and the crime was exactly a private peace negotiation in history.
Huang Chunyao continued: "Yuan Chonghuan delayed for time to gather troops to overwhelm the enemy with heavy troops, while Jiannu delayed for time to lure Yuan Chonghuan into the encirclement, and then use their usual tricks to detour and defeat them one by one."
After hearing this, Chen Cao felt that Huang Chunyao's words made sense. In the first battle of Sarhu, Nurhaci used this trick to defeat hundreds of thousands of Ming troops.
"You said it, I can remember it, so in your opinion, what should we do?"
I saw Huang Chunyao's evil smile...
