Wu Zheng was stunned and laughed: "The reason why the Regent said is so convincing... But I don't believe it."

Dorgon raised his eyebrows and said, "I am telling the truth."

"Of course." Wu Zheng nodded seriously, "Apart from lies, it's all the truth... I believe it."

"I don't deny that I did underestimate you before the war." Dorgon said.

"The Regent is well-informed and I came to Huai'an Mansion in person, but I don't know that from this point of view, the Regent is indeed a little better."

"So, did you admit to losing half a round?"

"No. Although the Regent is a little better, I occupy half of Yangzhou Prefecture. Speaking of which, I will win for half a round, right?"

"Okay, I won't deny it!"

Dorgon smiled and said casually as if he was a family man: "Actually, you and I are the same kind of person."

"Oh? How do you see it?"

"One step up is the supreme, but this step cannot be taken no matter what."

Dorgon's words surprised Wu Zheng. What did Dorgon want to say?

Wu Zheng took a breath slowly and looked at Dorgon and said, "There are still differences."

"I hope to hear the details."

"The Regent cannot, but I really don't want to."

"Haha." Dorgon laughed to the sky, "Why can't I?"

"The two flags of Zhengbai and Inlaid White in the hands of the Regent, plus the Zhenglan Banner taken from Haoge, among these three flags, the majority are loyal to the Regent, but there are many who are loyal to the Emperor. They are afraid that they cannot be separated before the Regent's reign. Besides, although the Regent has great power, they are actually one with the court. If they really want to cause trouble, they will be torn apart. What will be damaged by the Regent's own strength. But I am different. I am actually clearly separated from the court. Even if Yingtian Prefecture is captured by the Regent, it has little to do with me. The General's Mansion is still open to the government and can fight north at any time. Therefore, the Qing court cannot continue to fight, and the Regent can no longer fight. This is where today's negotiations are... I'm right?"

Dorgon stopped, and asked again, saying: "This is why you crossed the river to attack Yangzhou Prefecture when you learned that Yingtian Prefecture was in crisis, but didn't want to rescue him."

Wu Zheng smiled and said nothing, not refuting.

"But why did you go again?" Dorgon said, "I mean after Nikan broke through the Jinchuan Gate. If so, you should stand by and watch, or wait for Nikan to break through the palace before going to Yingtian Mansion. In this way, once the royal family is destroyed, you will not only recover the lost territory, but also avenge the Ming Dynasty, and naturally you will ascend the throne."

Wu Zheng still smiled and said nothing.

"Actually, you can answer, saying that it is for justice, I will accept it." Dorgon said with a smile.

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "Where is the righteousness? In the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of the Yixing Dynasty, no matter what I do, the powerful ministers are domineering and intend to usurp the throne."

"Then why are you…?"

"Because I do!" Wu Zheng raised his eyebrows and said.

Yes, I'm willing! It's all your business!

Dorgon's eyes flashed sharply. He looked at Wu Zheng's eyes and smiled and said, "Actually, I know very well in my heart that Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong are pretending to surrender."

Wu Zheng's heart was thrilled and said with a smile: "Yes, I'm instructing you. The Northern Expedition Army will not be able to fight the Northern Expedition in the short term. They are idle in Jiangnan. They may be able to make trouble for the north, and they will get twice the result with half the effort."

Dorgon laughed, "But even if they are sent by you, I don't care. Wu Zheng, do you know that Shen Zhiyuan convinced me with one word. He said, "Under you, you will be the commander in the end, but under my command, you are now the deputy governor. I even marry his only daughter. Do you think Shen Zhiyuan can still listen to you?"

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "The Regent is right. It's true that heroes are sad to pass the beauty. But is that boy Chen Zhiyuan a hero? In my eyes, he is at most a Zhao Kuo with a conscience. The Regent must not think that everyone is like Wu Sangui, and he is angry with the beauty."

Dorgon's face changed and he turned to a smile and said, "I will not be fooled by you. Wu Zheng, in fact, you are deliberately misleading me. I also trust Chen Zhiyuan. It is reasonable to have a truly talented person who has been curbing him by you and have a grudge in his heart."

Wu Zheng sighed, "This is indeed true, but I am also thinking about his safety. You think, the only son of the Shen family. If he dies, how can he keep getting incense? Unfortunately, he misunderstood..."

"It's a misunderstanding." Dorgon suddenly interrupted: "So, do you think Chen Zhiyuan is indeed intending to surrender to our court?"

Wu Zheng was stunned and said, "I... this is just a guess."

"But you said just now that you sent both of you to our court to surrender."

"Did I say it?" Wu Zheng looked at Dorgon blankly, "Okay, just think I was saying it, maybe... maybe I really said it, but people's hearts will change. Maybe the Regent was married and appointed as an official, and Chen Zhiyuan was truly moved by the Regent, which was reasonable."

"After all, you want me to think that Chen Zhiyuan is not a fraudulent surrender."

Wu Zheng blinked hard and sighed: "It's true that I can't hide it from the regent's eyes."

Dorgon restrained his smile on his face, and he did feel anger in his heart. It was really annoying that the boy in front of him was indifferent.

"Wu Zheng, I can still fight. You should understand that the imperial edicts from the court are nothing to me!"

Wu Zheng was stunned and exhaled, saying, "The Regent said that the remarks were in a state of depression. You said that the battle in Jiangbei was fighting so hard. I had just arrived in Jiangdu from Yingtian Prefecture and suddenly stopped. It was so uncomfortable that it was halfway through the itch. Besides, my navy has arrived, and the shells have been loaded. If you don't fight, it's a waste... Otherwise, the Regent takes action first, so that I can give an explanation to the court?"

Dorgon frowned and said, "I know very well that the people in the Yixing Dynasty have been in chaos and internal and external troubles, so I can no longer fight."

"But I'm still there." Wu Zheng pointed at his nose and said, "The Northern Expedition Army is not only Hangzhou, Jinshan and Lihai three guards. Hangzhou Prefecture is not far from Yingtian Prefecture. It can arrive at most two or three days. I can still transfer three guards. I wonder how many guards the Regent can transfer now?"

"I also know that you have only been operating several prefectures in Hangzhou for four years. This battle is probably going to destroy all the family you have saved in the past few years... You are already at the end of your strength."

"The Regent is indeed kind and righteous. Even though I know I can no longer fight, I still deliberately ceased the battle and let me take a breath... Tsk tsk, it's really a gentleman's demeanor."

"You...!" Dorgon almost couldn't help it. He took a breath and said, "I just received the war report today. The rebellion in Mobei and the civil unrest in Dengzhou has been quelled. In this way, I can mobilize at least 40,000 or 50,000 elite troops to move south in five days."
