Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 935
The dilemma of the Jin army was completely caused by itself.

Hauge asked everyone how to solve it and how to deal with the aftermath. The generals of the Kingdom of Jin in the tent looked at each other and discussed for a while, but no one could come up with a good solution.

Hauge took the initiative to break the contract, destroying the peace agreement between the Kingdom of Jin and the Ming Dynasty and the tacit understanding that had been maintained for three years. The Kingdom of Jin suddenly attacked Sichuan and killed Wang Yan’s general Yuan Zongdi. As if nothing happened, if he wanted to get away, unless the situation in the Kingdom of Jin was so good that the Ming Dynasty could temporarily swallow his anger, it was obviously impossible.

The Kingdom of Jin tore up the peace agreement on the grounds that the assassination of the Qing envoy in the Southern Ming Dynasty interfered with the national policy of the Jin State. This could only deceive the ministers in the Kingdom of Jin who opposed the war with the Ming Dynasty and silence them. Naturally, it is clear that Jin Guo broke the contract and attacked Sichuan this time, which will inevitably make the Ming Dynasty hate Jin Guo very much.

Under such circumstances, Hauge wanted to solve the dilemma of the Jin Kingdom, meaning he wanted to make peace with the Ming Dynasty, and he did not want to fight anymore. I am afraid it was wishful thinking.

Hauge really hoped that the current situation with the Ming Dynasty could be maintained again, so that he could withdraw to deal with Sun Kewang. After he finished speaking, he waited for the ministers in the account to share his worries, but he waited for a long time, but no one came out to speak .

Hauge watched the people in the tent discussing for a while, but there was no result, and he couldn't help being a little annoyed, but at this moment, a member of the gold general came into the tent, saluted Hauge: "Your Majesty, you just came from the river. a boat, and a letter!"

The general's words immediately calmed down the many ministers in the tent, and locked their eyes on the golden general.

What does the letter from Jiang Shang mean? Does the Ming army have any idea to talk to Jin Guo?Hauge cheered up, "Where's the letter? Send it up quickly!"

General Jin immediately got up and walked a few steps, and then took out a letter from his arms and presented it to Hauge. Hauge took it and opened it quickly, but after reading it, there was no joy on his face.

The people below looked at Hauge, and seeing him being silent for a while, Han Chaoxuan couldn't help feeling a little anxious, so he stood up to break the silence in the tent, and asked, "Your Majesty, what did you say in the letter?"

Hauge was taken aback for a moment, came back to his senses, put away the letter, frowned and said: "He Tengjiao's letter, I hope that the corpses of Aobai and Table Butai can be exchanged for the corpses of Yuan Zongdi and others, as well as the prisoners of the Ming army!"

There was no intention of asking for peace in the letter, and Hauge was a little disappointed.

Han Chaoxuan was overjoyed when he heard this, raised his brows, and saluted: "Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity! I think I can agree, so that the bodies of Aobai and Table Butai can be exchanged, lest Nanming make a big fuss about it. It will damage the face of our Dajin Kingdom, and secondly, we can establish communication with He Tengjiao to repair the relationship between the two countries and see if we can temporarily truce."

Oboi was the number one warrior boasted by the Kingdom of Jin, but now he was killed by the Ming army. His death must have dealt a huge blow to the morale of the Jin army, and it would also damage the face of the Kingdom of Jin. Nodding his head, he obviously agrees with Han Chaoxuan's opinion.

Wu Sangui felt that Han and Chaoxuan were a little naive, and it would be difficult to break the mirror. It may be impossible to repair the relationship between the two countries. what relationship.

After hearing this, Sony saw that most of the people agreed, but he said, "Exchange is fine, but the Ming Dynasty's demands are too many. If they want to return the prisoners, there are more than 1000 people."

Meng Qiaofang, who lives in Chengdu, received news that Sun Kewang marched into southern Sichuan with 4 troops and defeated the powerful armed forces in Luzhou and other places.

Hauge pondered for a while. After the Ming army retreated to Chongqing, it was impossible for him to attack Chongqing. Now he was eager to draw out his troops, and he did not want to continue to consume the Ming Dynasty here.

"The Ming Dynasty's request is indeed too much, but this is indeed an opportunity. I think the conditions can be agreed." Haoge said silently, then looked at Wu Sangui and said: "But it can't be too cheap He Tengjiao, the second son of King Pingxi It is still in the hands of the Ming army, and I hope that He Tengjiao can make a guarantee that Nanming will be released!"

Wu Sangui was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect Hauge to add such a condition, he actually doesn't care that much about his family, but since Hauge raised such a condition for him, he had to express something, so he got up immediately He said: "I thank the emperor for his kindness! I will never die to repay the emperor's great favor!"

At that moment, Hauge waved his hand to tell him not to think too much, then he glanced at the crowd and asked, "Who wants to go to the South Bank, meet with He Tengjiao for a while, reach an exchange agreement, and then test the truce!"

The ministers of the Kingdom of Jin in the tent looked at each other, most of them had no contacts in Nanming, so this matter naturally fell on Han Chaoxuan.

"I'm willing to take a trip to restore the diplomatic relations between the two countries!" Han Chaoxuan, an acquaintance of Wang Yan, said as he stood up and saluted.

Hauge was impatient, and ordered Han Chaoxuan to go quickly, and then dismissed everyone, leaving Wu Sangui to continue the discussion.

After the crowd had left, Hauge asked Wu Sangui, "There are [-] Ming troops in Chongqing, how many troops does Wu Qing need to stop the Ming army crossing the river and counterattack!"

Wu Sangui didn't expect Hauge to ask him this question. He was silent for a while, thought for a while, and then said: "If it's just the current 2 Ming army, I should be able to stop it with [-] horses, but if the Ming Dynasty reinforcements When it comes, the situation will not be easy to say.”

Hauge nodded, walked back and forth a few steps, stopped and looked at Wu Sangui and said, "I gave the Qing family 3 troops, and entrusted the defense of the entire eastern Sichuan to the Qing family. I will return to Chengdu and prepare to fight for western and southern Sichuan. What do the Qing family think?"

The defense of the entire eastern Sichuan is not only facing the 5000 Ming army in Chongqing, but also the direction of the Three Gorges. However, the Three Gorges is dangerous, and it is difficult for the Ming army to break through with only 3 troops.Hauge said to give [-] horses, so it seems that there is more than Wu Sangui's request, but what Wu Sangui is worried about is not the current defense. He believes that the Ming army will not attack him in a short time. What he is worried about is Jin Guo. Breaking the contract again brought about a shift in the strategic focus of the Nanming court.

If the Ming Dynasty shifted its attention from Lianghuai to the southwest, more Ming troops would inevitably march into the southwest, and he really couldn't resist, but Hauge told him so, and he wanted to exchange his second son for him, obviously I have made up my mind.

"Your Majesty, under the current situation, I can stop the enemy south of the Yangtze River, but if the main force of the Ming army arrives, I hope that the Emperor will send troops to support immediately!"

Seeing his agreement, Hauge nodded slightly, "If Han Qing can properly communicate with He Tengjiao, it would be a good thing for the two parties to reach a tacit understanding again. But I can't pin all my hopes on this. The Qing family guards the east of Sichuan, and I will expel him as soon as possible. Sun Kewang, then recruit troops to prepare for the battle, and will not allow the Ming army to recapture Sichuan!"
