"I dare not." Lu Zhiyuan was full of grievances, but he did not dare to argue hard at this time, to anger Wu Zheng.

Fortunately, Wu Zheng did not continue to pursue the Lu Domain. The key now is to figure out Chen Zhiyuan's true intention. Although he had already seen the bayonet, Wu Zheng still had a trace of obsession in his heart, that is, he hoped that Chen Zhiyuan would not be independent as Dorgon said. Wu Zheng asked: "Where is Huang Tuozi? He shouldn't have changed his original intention and become an enemy of this king, right?"

Song An shook his head and said, "There are many rumors about the direction of Yancheng, but after all, he did not confirm with Chen Zhiyuan directly... It is not worth trusting. If the young master agrees, I will send Yancheng Changlin Wei to contact the two of them directly..."

"No need!" Wu Zheng said suddenly, "If they were to be vain, there would be no need to expose the Changlin Guard in Yancheng. If they really..., why should they give the Changlin Guard soldiers their lives for free? They didn't move, right?"

"Yes." Song Andao, "The vanguard of Chen Zhiyuan was advancing north along the Fan Gong Dike. He probably wanted to seize Yunti Pass as a way to retreat north."

Wu Zheng was really unwilling to believe it, but the fact was there. Chen Zhiyuan did attack the Northern Expedition Army in Tongzhou, causing considerable casualties, and even took over Zhou Dahu and Wusongwei's captured soldiers to retreat north.

Although it is still impossible to confirm whether Huang Tuozi and Zhou Dahu have also turned aside, since Song An has detected Chen Zhiyuan's troops returning north, it can be proved that Chen Zhiyuan has no intention of moving closer to him.

This kind of information is really touching Wu Zheng's heart and trust. This thing is too extravagant for the best. Wu Zheng has to face it head-on. If Chen Zhiyuan really turns his ruthlessness, how should he deal with it?

But how does this mean to deal with it?

Putting aside the friendship between the two, the 30,000 troops of Chen Zhiyuan alone were not something that Wu Zheng could eat in one bite at this time.

"What is the battle situation in Xinghua?"

Song An replied: "Xinghua is in danger. Yue Le led a few troops from Yancheng. It seems that he was driven out by Chen Zhiyuan... Fortunately, because the first army reinforcements went north and did not continue to advance northward to Huai'an, the Xinghua City's defense forces were sufficient. As long as the first army was defending the city and wait for the first army to support the army, Yue Le had no other way to retreat except to the north."

This is finally good news. Although it is still passive, Wu Zheng is already satisfied. What he fears most is that Chi Erhan is impulsive and launches an active attack on Yue Le's cavalry, which will cause too much casualties.

Wu Zheng then turned to face Zhang Guowei, "Mr. Zhang must have understood that if we fight at this time, we will not suffer any loss... On the contrary, for the enemy, their willingness to negotiate will be stronger. This is called... using war to promote peace!"

Although Zhang Guowei disagreed, he always led the soldiers, understood the key points on the battlefield, and understood that Wu Zheng could take the initiative in negotiations by using war to promote peace and control, forcing the Qing court to make greater concessions.

He thought for a while and replied, "Then please draw a clear boundary...time, place."

This sentence is a bit like "forcing the palace", but Wu Zheng didn't care. He knew that Zhang Guowei was not selfish, so he smiled and said, "I will order Jiang Quanyi to have sex for three days, and then send Chi Erhan and Zu Dabi to fight Yue Le against him if he can make Yue Le suffer and seize some war horses, I will remember them for one's merit."

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng looked at the Lu domain, which was still kneeling on one knee, "Can General Lu pursue the enemy?"

Lu Zhiyuan hurriedly responded: "As long as the prince gives the order, the last sentence will be absolutely absolutely true."

"That's good. Gather the army and attack Peixian. Just stick to the front and don't care about the left and right wings. I have this king for your palace..."

"That's good!" Lu Zhiyuan smiled and opened.

"But remember, Pei County is the boundary line, and under no circumstances can you enter the boundary of Yanzhou... I don't want to force the Tartars to bite them back."

"I will obey the order!" Lu Zhiyuan replied loudly.

Wu Zhengchao Zhang Guowei said: "There is time, three or five days. The location is also there. Yanzhou is the boundary... What does Zhang Gong think?"

Zhang Guowei asked back: "The Qing government mission..."

Wu Zheng sneered: "Don't they want to return north? Then as they wish... Mr. Zhang immediately informed them and left Xuzhou City within six hours, otherwise the consequences would be borne by themselves."

"Okay, I'll do it now." Zhang Guowei hurried away.

Wu Zheng turned his head and said to Song An: "Immediately send Xia Wanchun and Liao Zhongping, and hold on for another five days... No, six days. After six days, they can withdraw their troops according to the imperial decree."

Song An hesitated and said, "But the imperial court had already issued an order to withdraw troops to Hezhou and Chuzhou at the same time... At this time, the message was probably..."

Wu Zheng shook his head confidently and said, "I don't want them to fight Fengyang Ajige. As long as they each stationed tens of thousands of people, they would restrain Ajige from going north... They also explained the court very well, so they would say that they would retreat in batches."

Song An hesitated and said, "But what if they all retreat?"

Wu Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "That's okay. You sent Chen Sheng and Fang Guoan to make him bluff in the direction of Tianchang southeast of Fengyang... By the way, what's the situation of Qian Qiao Gong's troops now?"

Song An smiled and said with a hint of pride, "It really made General Qian take a big advantage. There are only 800 defenders in Sizhou City, and some old, weak, sick and disabled. They were surrounded by General Qian, and they were scared and opened the city to surrender. According to reports, more than 3,000 war horses in Sizhou City can be given all of them."

Wu Zheng laughed loudly and said to Song An: "Your kid's bad idea is a coincidence... He ordered Qian Qiaogong to cooperate with Chen Sheng and Fang Guoan's troops to try his best to restrain Ajige and leave me a few days of space."

"yes."

....

In the afternoon of that day, Suksaha, Sony and others were expelled from the city.

The horn of war sounded again.

At this time, the delegation of the Yixing court finally arrived in Xuzhou.

It’s not that the mission came too slowly, on the contrary, they were already rushing.

From Yingtian Prefecture to Xuzhou Prefecture, a distance of thousands of miles is still a straight line. If it were not for the missions of both sides to plan to negotiate, Ajige would not open the door of convenience, so the mission would have to detour from Yangzhou Prefecture, and that would have been longer.

The Yixing Dynasty mission was very large, with twenty-one people.

The envoy was Zhu Cunbu, the then Zongzheng Order, and there were two deputy envoys. Speaking of which, these two were very famous in later generations, of course, they are not small at present - Huang Zongxi, the left deputy chief censor, was the chief officer of the Ministry of War (the capital of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty was established as the chief officer, and the chief officer was appointed as the chief officer. The Qing Dynasty was appointed as the chief officer, and the chief officer was appointed as the chief officer. The Qing Dynasty was appointed as the chief officer, and the Han Dynasty was appointed as the chief officer of the seven chief officer) Gu Yanwu.

These two people have a great origin and are the backbone of the Donglin Party. They are as famous as Fu Shan, Wang Fuzhi and others. Qian Qianyi, who has a scalp that is too itchy and water is too cold, had a close friend earlier, but the character of the two and Qian Qianyi cannot be compared with each other.
