"Dingdang."

With a crisp sound, Bao Chengxian, who was deeply shocked by Li Xiao's threatening words, trembled with his right hand, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and cracked into several pieces.

"Go, go and change the new tea for Mr. Bao."

Seeing that Bao Chengxian was so heartbroken by Li Xiao's words that he accidentally broke his teacup and lost face, Li Qiu, the great Lord Ayahara, was suddenly filled with inexplicable pleasure.

Humph, you Qing barbarians have bullied us Koreans so miserably, but now you are so stingy and humble in front of this Lord Li, and you are really a group of people who fear power and are unworthy!

He hurriedly ordered the servants beside him to go and bring a cup of new tea to Bao Chengxian. The second brother of the Korean emperor finally showed off his presence in this way.

Bao Chengxian, holding a new teacup, looked pale and unstable. He was stunned for a long time. Before laughing bitterly, he said to Li Xiao: "Mr. Li's words are sharp and profound in analysis. Bao's talent is simple and knowledgeable, but he can't even be right. I am really ashamed."

After hearing Bao Chengxian's words, Li Xiao smiled instead, and he said solemnly, "Sir Bao is a cheerful person, so I told him bluntly, not those false words. I sincerely hope that Huang Taiji can carefully consider his advice and think carefully about what he can get if he continues to stay in North Korea, instead of ignoring the crisis and just to show his temporary pleasure, he will fight our army to the end."

After hearing Li Xiao's words, Bao Chengxian sighed deeply, picked up the newly replaced teacup, took a sip, and bowed to Li Xiao and said, "Mr. Li understands what Mr. Li means, please don't worry. Mr. Li's words, Bao will convey them to the emperor of our country as soon as possible, let's see how the emperor decides."

Li Xiao smiled and said, "It's so good, then there will be a laborious scholar named Bao."

At this point, after the talks between the two sides, Bao Chengxian and others then said goodbye, but Li Xiao did not try to keep him.

After Bao Chengxian and others landed at the mouth of the Han River, they rode their horses straight to the outside of Shanhan Mountain City.

A day later, Bao Chengxian and others finally arrived at Huang Taiji's Qing army camp. As time went by, Bao Chengxian knelt down and reported to Huang Taiji, and told him all the conditions for Li Xiao's agreement to the peace talks.

After listening to Bao Chengxian's report, Huang Taiji looked angry and his face was as if water could drip. He sat blankly on the chair without saying a word.

Huang Taiji was very disappointed that Bao Chengxian went to Jianghua Island for negotiations this time. To be honest, he was very disappointed.

From Bao Chengxian's words, he could have learned that this person had been completely suppressed by Li Xiao from the momentum and had not won any favorable conditions for the Qing Dynasty. Now he is just like a messenger of Li Xiao.

However, I am not able to blame him too much now. After all, under Li Xiao's tough and oppressive conversation, Bao Chengxian's performance was barely passed. If others were sent, the effect might be even worse.

In fact, what made Huang Taiji feel the most unhappy was Rao Yubeile Abatai's extremely miserable situation now.

Then Li Xiao, the half-brother who tortured himself so cruelly, wanted to humiliate the noble descendants of the Aisin Jueluo family. To put it bluntly, in a sense, he also slapped himself in the face and the Qing Dynasty in the face!

The most hateful thing is that he has not had any good revenge and countermeasures, which makes Li Xiao, the thief, be able to do evil so rampantly.

However, although Li Xiao was extremely hateful, his vision was quite vicious and he had a very accurate analysis of the current situation. The words, conditions and all the things he said were accurately hit on his weaknesses.

Li Xiao, I will tear you, one day later, to pieces, like you, the humble man!

After Huang Taiji scolded Li Xiao ten thousand times, he still had to face the reality.

what to do?

Can you really agree to Li Xiao’s request like this?

Huang Taiji was quite confused for a moment.

Seeing that the emperor did not say a word, Bao Chengxian, who was kneeling on the ground, did not dare to move.

After a long time, Huang Taiji said to Bao Chengxian indifferently: "Sir Bao, please kneel down first."

"Well, follow the order."

Bao Chengxian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, stood up and stood aside.

Huang Taiji pondered for a while, and then said to the guard standing beside him: "Go, call Prince Li, Prince Wuying, and Mr. Fan together to enter the tent. I have important matters to discuss with them."

The guards left after they agreed. Soon, Prince Li Daishan, Prince Wuying Ajige, and Fan Wencheng rushed to the tent.

After the three of them bowed, Huang Taiji ordered Bao Chengxian to tell the three of them again about Li Xiao's peace talks.

As soon as Bao Chengxian finished speaking, Huang Taiji had not spoken yet, Ajige was the first to stand up and yelled: "Brother, this dog thief Li Xiao has made such an arrogant and powerful peace agreement, which is really too much to deceive people! I asked the emperor to order the emperor and command the troops and go to fight against Li Xiao in the last battle. I decided to chop Li Xiao's head and then report to the emperor!"

After hearing Ajige's statement that was heroic but actually was empty talk, Huang Taiji frowned in disgust.

Dai Shan, who was standing aside, couldn't see it anymore, and he shouted in a low voice: "Ajige, Li Xiao is now on Jianghua Island, and our navy has been destroyed. Could it be that you want to lead the army to travel to the island? Isn't your statement a joke?"

After Dai Shan finished speaking, Ajige still wanted to argue, but Huang Taiji shouted sternly.

Ajige retreated to the side hatefully. At this time, Fan Wencheng, who had been thinking about his face, stood in the middle and reported to Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of a humble minister, our army can only agree to the terms of Li Xiao's peace talks."

As soon as Fan Wencheng said this, Ajige, who was standing beside him, suddenly became furious. He pointed to Fan Wencheng's nose and cursed: "Fan Xiandou, I have raised you for many years in the Qing Dynasty. I have given you such a high title and status. Can't you feed this guy, you still be familiar with this man?! Li Xiao's condition is so arrogant and you have to agree to it. You said, is your conscience eaten by the dog? Fuck your mother, what benefits did Li Xiao give you, so that you can sting like this guy and talking to this bastard like this!"

After being scolded by Ajige, Fan Wencheng was so angry that his face was purple and his whole body was trembling. He gritted his teeth and replied loudly, "Since Fan committed suicide by committing to the Destiny Sweat back then, he was loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and the sun and the moon can be seen! How could Prince Wuying say so unbearable? Prince Prince, if you have a good plan, you can subdue Li Xiao and solve the dilemma, Fan should have nothing to say, but the prince in front of him was killed on this stairs, and he is famous for the prince's reputation!"

"you!......"

Ajig's teeth were chewed, but he couldn't say much.

"Stop talking! Stop fighting!"

Huang Taiji, who was sitting high on the tiger leather chair, looked angry. He shouted loudly and interrupted the quarrel between Ajige and Fan Wencheng.

Ajig was stammering his neck and wanted to say a few more words, but was quickly pulled aside by Daishan, who was gloomy.

"Mr. Fan, can our army really only agree to Li Xiao's peace negotiation terms?" Huang Taiji's voice was very low and his face was quite ugly.

"Report to the emperor, the situation is better than others now. I can't agree to Li Xiao's peace talks! Please listen to me and tell me in detail."

"Oh, tell me."

"Emperor, Li Xiao has already explained to Mr. Bao that the first plan of our army was to attack Ganghwa Island City in order to capture the Korean royal family and to force the surrender of the Korean king Li Nei. Because the Ming army had already occupied Ganghwa Island, it was already a plunge. And our army's second plan was to attack South Hanshan City in order to capture Korean monarchs and ministers and to suppress North Korea's surrender, because Li Xiao could regain Li Wang's second son Li Xiao as the monarch of North Korea.

It will also have little effect, and in the end it will only lead to a long-term situation of our army's confrontation with the Ming army, so it is not feasible. Moreover, the Nanhan Mountain City is the last place where Li Jue defended his life. There are heavy troops stationed. If our army wants to attack for a strong force, the loss of troops will be large. What's more, Li Xiao also threatened that if our army really wants to attack the Nanhan Mountain City, Rao Yubeile and a group of captured soldiers will all die under the Ming sabre and have no chance of life."

Fan Wencheng sighed deeply when he said this.

Huang Taiji's face was as dark as iron, and he was sitting on the chair like a puppet.

"Hmph, Li Xiao is really bullying others too much! Is it really impossible to counter him?!" Dai Shan, who was standing beside him, also said with anger.

"Prince Li, I think that what I can fight for now in the Qing Dynasty is no longer whether I can counter Li Xiao or whether I can agree to Li Xiao's terms of peace talks. Instead, I can see if I can find a decent way of retreat for my Qing Dynasty on the basis of agreeing to the peace talks." Fan Wencheng said with sighing.

"So, according to you, what is the decent way of retreat for me, the Qing Dynasty?" Dai Shan asked.

"Report to the emperor, Prince Li, I, the empress, think that the Qing Dynasty can agree to a ceasefire with Korea and withdraw its troops. However, our army can propose to Li Xiao that from then on, when North Korea worships Ming as the sect leader, it also needs to worship our Qing Dynasty as the court, and send the crown prince Li Li to Shengjing as a hostage, and pay the Qing Dynasty on time every year. Then, Li Xiao immediately sent back Rao Yubeile and a group of captured soldiers. If so, the two countries can stop fighting and stop their troops. In this case, our country will withdraw its troops back to Korea, which will be considered as both face and benefit." Fan Wencheng said happily.

"What if Li Xiao disagrees?" Dai Shan asked again with a frown.

"Oh, Prince Li, it's true that the price starts on the flat ground and pay back the money by sitting on the ground. The current plan is to take one step at a time." Fan Wencheng sighed: "After all, our army now has such a handle in Li Xiao's hands, so he has many concerns in his actions. He just depends on the other party's reaction first and then make a mistake."

"Okay, just follow the plan of Mr. Fan." Huang Taiji on the tiger leather chair said, "Then please stop working hard and go to Jianghua Island to show my attitude and see how Li Xiao reacts."

After Bao Chengxian left the line and received the order, Huang Taiji pondered for a while and said, "In order to speed up the negotiation progress, Abatai and a group of captured soldiers will be released as soon as possible. In the details, Mr. Bao can make his own decisions."

Bao Chengxian knelt down and said, "Well, the servant follows the order."

Afterwards, Bao Chengxian set out again and came to Jianghua Island City, and met Li Xiao again.

After Bao Chengxian talked to Li Xiao about Huang Taiji's conditions, Li Xiao refused without hesitation.

"Sir Bao, if you want to force North Korea to take the prince as a hostage and pay food and taxes every year, wouldn't it be the same as asking North Korea to surrender? I will never agree."

"What does that mean by sir?"

"The request of my official is that North Korea can maintain relations with the original brotherly country of the Qing Dynasty, with the Qing Dynasty as brother and North Korea as brother. But North Korea will never let the prince act as a hostage, nor will it pay taxes to the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, the Qing court must agree to this point, and the peace agreement can continue to be negotiated."

Bao Chengxian looked puzzled: "Mr. Li, if this is the case, my Qing Dynasty only gets the reputation of a brother country, then wouldn't our army's expedition to Korea be useless to consume food and pay, and to lose troops? I think that if this cannot be achieved, I am afraid that the emperor will not agree to a ceasefire."

Li Xiao sneered and said, "Sir Bao's words are wrong. You must understand that what you can't afford now is not my Ming Dynasty or North Korea, but your Qing army. If you want to fight for a long time, I am willing to accompany you."

Seeing Li Xiao so tough, Bao Chengxian could only sigh and whisper: "Mr. Li, you can make some concessions and let me go back and make it easier to get a job, so that I can have a step to go down to the Qing Dynasty."

Seeing Bao Chengxian lowering his posture almost begging, Li Xiao smiled and said, "Sir Bao, see that you are saying so pitiful. Let's take a step back. The Qing army won the Korean people and property and livestock captured by the Qing army. The Qing army has already obtained so many captures in Korea. If you retreat like this, you will be considered a victory."

Bao Chengxian smiled bitterly. The population and livestock captured by the Qing army had been transported back to China. Can the fat meat that had been eaten in the stomach be spit out again? Li Xiao's words were just a hollow dumpling, but with his words, he could at least go back to report to Huang Taiji.

Bao Chengxian then talked with Li Xiao about the details of when and where the two parties would sign the agreement, and then stood up and said goodbye, returned to the outside of Nanhan Mountain City, and went to repay Huang Taiji.

To Bao Chengxian's surprise, he would have been furious after listening to the report in the future, but unexpectedly, Huang Taiji just sighed a few times and agreed to Li Xiao's request.

Bao Chengxian couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that the emperor was actually like a mirror. He knew that the person he couldn't afford the most was the Qing army. If he had a face-saving battle with Li Xiaoqiang, it would actually be more unfavorable to the Qing Dynasty.

Finally, after Bao Chengxian went to Jianghua Island twice to discuss with Li Xiao, Li Xiao made some ceremonial concessions, and finally agreed on the contents of the North and Qing truce agreement as follows:

1. The North Korea and the Qing Dynasty stopped the war on the day of signing the agreement. The Qing army and the Ming army each retreated and returned to their country, with a minimum armistice period of five years.

2. North Korea King Lee Nei apologized to Huang Taiji. The two countries still call each other a brotherly country, and North Korea does not need to pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty.

3. Except for the officials who have been captured by the Qing army, the rest of the Korean people and property and livestock, except for the officials, are released by the Qing army, and North Korea will not recover them.

4. After the agreement was signed, Rao Yubeile Abatai and a group of captured Qing troops on Jianghua Island were released and returned to the Qing Dynasty.

5. This agreement was signed at the entrance of the Han River and was signed and taken into effect by Ming general Li Xiao, Qing Dynasty emperor Huang Taiji, and Korean King Li Jue.

Bao Chengxian, who finally agreed to the agreement, breathed a sigh of relief.

After he reported to Huang Taiji, although people like Ajige, Daishan and others were still dissatisfied, at the suggestion of Fan Wencheng, a Han adviser who was the most relied on by Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji finally decided to agree to the above ceasefire clauses.

"Your Majesty, our army has captured more than 500,000 Korean people and a large number of food and livestock. This battle has also gained a lot. As for North Korea, it is impossible to run away from the east of our country. And after five years, when our Qing Dynasty is becoming more and more powerful, it will not be too late to find an opportunity to question North Korea." Fan Wencheng's words of report reached Huang Taiji's heart.

"Hmph, Li Xiao, don't be proud. Although North Korea has ceased to fight against the Qing Dynasty, in the coming year, I will launch another army to attack the Ming Dynasty and take the Shandong land where Li Xiao is located, and attack this beast to relieve my hatred!"

Looking at Huang Taiji outside the tent, his eyes flashed coldly and his heart was secretly ruthless.
