Chang Yu took a long breath while looking at the secret letter in his hand, and glanced at Li Muchian: "Master Fang, please guess whether it's a fight or a peace?"
"How can this poor man know?" Li Muchian shook his head, and Chang Yu curled his lips: "You brag every day that you know everything, are proficient in Yi Shu, and can deduce all things, so why do you stop at the critical moment?"
Li Muxian's face did not change: "This letter was written by the emperor, and it is a secret from heaven. The so-called secret cannot be leaked. How can a poor man spy on it easily? It will cost him his life."
Holy shit! You can do this, Chang Yu gives Li Muxian a thumbs up, you are a master in this business of talking nonsense, and our family is ashamed of yourself.
Li Muchian smiled and said nothing, and Chang Yu stopped messing around with him. He opened the letter and read it carefully on his horse. More than a hundred people around him were silent, all staring at him intently.
The letter was very long. It was written by Emperor Chongzhen himself and contained thousands of words. He was full of praise for the achievements of Chang Yu and the soldiers. He also analyzed the current situation clearly. As for whether to fight or not, he had discussed it with the cabinet bosses. In the end, it was decided unanimously: It’s up to you!
Chang Yu almost spat out a mouthful of blood. The people in the imperial court were really rude. They would use anyone who could use them. You can do it, you can do it, you can keep doing it, you can keep doing it!
It sounds nice to say that you value him and trust him, but in fact, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to be the hands-off boss, and the cabinet boss wanted not to take responsibility.
"Mr. Factory, what does the court mean?" Li Muchian noticed the little eunuch's expression was too strange, so he asked curiously.
"We'll talk about it when we get back to Qingzhou." Chang Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head. He put away the secret letter, took some money to reward the old postmen, and then took the lead and ran towards Qingzhou.
At dusk, a group of people crossed the Beiyang River and approached Qingzhou City a few miles away. Tu Yuan led the Black Tiger Camp to greet him: "General Li is very annoyed." Chang Yu smiled and said nothing.
"This is nonsense!" Li Yan was rarely angry in Prince Heng's palace, and he was also angry at his immediate boss, the eunuch of Dongchang: "The war is about to begin, and the factory supervisor actually ignored the overall situation and took risks for fun. We know that if something goes wrong with you, , who else can stop the violent waves when the country is in crisis? Your hard work over the past few months has been in vain!"
The atmosphere in the hall was very awkward. No one would have thought that Li Yan would have the guts to get angry at Chang Yu. The little eunuch was scolded so hard that he remained silent. He rubbed his nose for a long time before finally saying: "Linzi is just a stone's throw away, what kind of trouble can happen?" .
"Who can be safe from accidents when we are so close?" Li Yan sighed with a heartbroken look: "Besides, if you want to go, you should also say hello to the city. Just like this, more than ten people strolled away without making a sound. You know how worried I am when I look around for you but can't find you!"
"That's right, I'm always worried!" Huang Degong muttered beside him, holding an apple in his hand and gnawing hard on it. Chang Yu rolled his eyes and said, "You can do it. I can tell by your swollen face that you just woke up from alcohol. I guess you didn't wake up until now. You're just worried."
Huang Degong chuckled and said nothing. Chang Yu took out the secret letter from his arms. If you think our family is fooling around, after reading this, you will feel that our family is not the only one who is fooling around. The emperor is also fooling around, and the court is also fooling around. It feels like everyone in the world is fooling around. You're messing around!
Li Yan didn't know why he took the secret letter and took a look at it. He quickly put it away and handed it to Chang Yu: "This can't be done!"
After all, this is a secret letter from the emperor. If outsiders look at it, they will be beheaded!
"You can read it if you want." Chang Yuyou handed over the secret letter again: "People who want to read it can't understand it, and people like you who understand it don't dare to read it. Hey, this world..."
"Why do you think the factory supervisor is talking about me, or mocking me, Old Huang, for being illiterate?" Huang Degong curled his lips, Chang Yu quickly waved his hand, "No, no, who said Mr. Huang is illiterate? You can't write Your name?"
Everyone burst into laughter, but Huang Degong looked complacent: "This is not false at all. Not only can I write my own name, but I can also..."
While everyone was having fun, Li Yan read Emperor Chongzhen's secret letter with one glance and then shook his head with a wry smile: "It's really Hu..." He finally held back. Chang Yu dared to say that the emperor and the court were messing around, but he didn't have the guts!
"What's going on? Can you two explain it clearly?" Li Muxian's curiosity had been suppressed all the way until he could no longer hold it in anymore. Zhou Yuji was also curious and echoed.
Li Yan looked at Chang Yu and turned to the two of them: "The imperial court has ordered the governor to take care of it."
Depend on! Everyone rolled their eyes.
I rushed 800 miles to report urgently, just to get the court to make an idea. Who knew that everyone from the emperor to the ministers were Tai Chi masters, so they pushed him back.
Of course, this is fine, as there are no constraints and you can give it a try.
But if there is any leakage, the big black pot will be covered, and everyone will be covered!
Everyone, those who need to rest have had enough rest, and those who need to play are tired of playing. Now that there is a living court, let us make our own decisions, whether to fight or to vote by a show of hands!
"Fight!" Huang Degong didn't even think about it: "Just follow the previous plan and do it!"
Zhou Yuji was silent for a while and said: "Fighting is a helpless move. In a hard fight, both sides will be hurt. I feel that it is better to take the opportunity to make peace and take a step back until we regain our vitality before doing anything again!"
Lao Zhou, what are you doing... Huang Degong just yelled when Chang Yu raised his hand to stop him and looked at Li Muchian. The Taoist priest gave his opinion.
Li Muchian stroked his beard and frowned: "If we fight, both sides will suffer, but if we make peace, we will be unwilling to do so!"
"Then let's make peace and fight at the same time." Li Yan slapped the case, and Chang Yu smiled: "It's just what our family wants."
Why fight and make peace at the same time? Huang Degong and others were confused.
Li Yan was not in a hurry to explain, but looked at the young eunuch: "The governor already has a clever plan in hand, and he is very confident."
Chang Yu laughed loudly: "It's not a good calculation, let's just give it a reference." He sat down and talked non-stop, detailing the plan in his mind. Li Yan and Li Muxian also knew about it, so it was not too surprising. , Zhou and Huang were filled with emotion. Fortunately, the little eunuch was not an enemy. Otherwise, if he were his enemy, he would have died an ugly death!
Using peace as a lure and taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to secretly kill him, this is the core of Chang Yu's plan!
Of course, how to operate requires a complete and impeccable plan.
"If the Tatars really agree to peace, will the governor just let them go and let them out unharmed?" Zhou Yuji asked the same question as Li Muchian before.
Chang Yu’s answer was the same: “Maybe”
Li Yan nodded: "However, Dorgon may not agree to this harsh condition, but if he really agrees, we might as well temporarily suspend the troops and let him go. After all, our current situation is not much better than him."
Everyone nodded and expressed their deep agreement!
"That's the case, General Lao Li is the ghostwriter." Chang Yu picked up the teacup, smelled it and thought for a while, then listed the conditions one by one, while Li Yan wrote next to him like a dragon.
At the Qing army camp twenty miles away, Dorgon was still having a barbecue, drinking and singing with his generals by the river. The atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious.
In the past two days, the Ming army did not make any changes except for sending some more scouts to stroll around the main camp. They did not launch an attack on the main camp or send troops to intercept the supply camp. Perhaps they did not realize that they had already secretly infiltrated Chencang. The former troops of the supply camp were already here. When we arrived at the Yellow River Ferry, we were crossing the river. Even if we were discovered by the Ming army at this time, we would still have to overcome our own hurdle if we wanted to pursue him.
All in all, he had been very comfortable these two days, and this comfort did not stop until a letter was delivered to him!
The letter was sent by the little eunuch, and the first few characters were very scary! It's up to you whether it's fighting or harmonious!
What did they mean? Dorgon was very angry, but he still read it patiently. Then he gritted his teeth with a livid face and cursed: "Trick me hard!"
The generals looked at him one after another without knowing why. Duduo took the letter directly from his hand, looked at it and then had the same expression.
The little eunuch told them in a very firm tone that if Heruo wanted to leave the Ming Dynasty in peace, he should release the captives, animals and property, then roll back with his tail between his legs, and there should be no harassment along the way. To show sincerity, Mingting will release Azig!
If you want to fight, each will rely on his or her own abilities, and Ming Ting will accompany him to the end at all costs!
He didn’t say no matter what the cost, nor how he would stay with her until the end. The fewer words, the crueler the heart!
It is no wonder that Dorgon and Dodo changed their minds, because these two conditions are extremely cruel and unacceptable to them.
If you want peace talks, you have to keep everything you get. But why did you risk entering the border in the first place? Wasn't it just to grab some things? Now that I have killed nearly 10,000 casualties and robbed so few things, you still let me stay. How is that possible? ah!
But if there is no peace, there will be a fight. The Qing army now has only 20,000 troops. It has just emerged and has important protection, and its morale is extremely low. However, the Ming army's cavalry alone is superior to itself, and there are tens of thousands of infantry hiding in the dark, ready to stab. What's more, we are in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, thousands of miles away from the pass. If the Ming army stops them at all costs, I don't know how many of the 20,000 soldiers and horses will survive when they reach the pass.
Although Dorgon had previously threatened to abandon his baggage and lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to fight to the death in the Ming Dynasty when he was pressed hard, he was just a threat and would not really do it. Even if he did, the Ming army would not do it. It's okay if you're afraid. If you're not afraid, if you fight him to the end, Dorgon's end will be miserable. He managed to escape in time, and his regent is also finished!
So Dorgon, who had just been happy for a few days, was now faced with a problem that was more difficult than mathematics. Is it a fight or a tie?
