Chapter 679: A Thousand Miles of Battlefields, Thousands of Miles of Blood

At this time, Yang Lian's eyes fell on the woman. He looked at the woman's face full of dust, knowing that it was instinctively protected by the Jiannu Tartars. Yang Lian saw the man with scarred face earlier, and could not help but remember the severe torture he had suffered in the Jinyiwei Zhao Prison. However, this young woman with a look of horror made Yang Lian sigh lightly, took off her cloak and handed it to her for her to put it on. Then Yang Lian turned his horse's head and chased the Ming delegation.

In the southeast of Mantaor, the commander of the Ponu Army, Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Ponu Army, went out to the camp to welcome the imperial envoy of the Ming Dynasty. The respect for the delegation made Sun Chengzong feel much better. As usual, both sides were inevitably polite, and the Ponu Marquis was the highest position in the front. After entering the tent of the commander, Sun Chengzong's heart was suddenly more at ease. In Sun Chengzong's view, the little fox Zhang Ping'an was not lame, and the incense case for receiving the imperial envoy was prepared in the tent. At least it could be seen that Zhang Ping'an did not make things difficult for the imperial envoy. Moreover, the little fox planned to kneel down and listen to the imperial envoy, which also made Sun Chengzong less verbal.

In order to avoid the long nights and dreams, Sun Chengzong immediately asked the eunuch Cao Huachun, who wrote a pen to read the imperial edict. Zhang Ping'an, the Marquis of Ponu, knelt in front of the incense table in a regular manner and knelt in a manner to listen to the holy teachings. No one expected that the reading of this edict with great literary talent, Zhang Ping'an, the Marquis of Ponu, had always listened quietly. When he heard the emperor praise him for his merits, he would cry in emotion. Only when he finally received the imperial edict and thanked him, the delegation of the Ming Dynasty felt something strange. Zhang Ping'an, the Marquis of Ponu, waited for Cao Huachun to read Qin, kowtowed and thanked him: "Foreign minister, Zhang Ping'an, the Marquis of Ponu, received the imperial edict, thank God!"

Zhang Ping'an was specially placing the foreign words of foreign ministers, which made everyone in the Ming Dynasty's imperial envoy feel cold. They all realized the true intention of Zhang Ping'an in just a moment. The Ming Dynasty's Ponuhou's intention was clearly revealed. He was a foreign vassal of the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty could not give what Zhang Ping'an wanted, the emperor's imperial edict would really turn into paper. Emperor Chongzhen's Ming Dynasty's imperial edict did not give the actual price, but a few points in the imperial edict made Zhang Ping'an realize that the mission of the Ming Dynasty's imperial envoy was to bargain with him, otherwise the imperial edict would not have mentioned the act of disaster to Yuan Chonghuan, the commander of Ji Liao, who issued the imperial edict.

Zhang Ping'an knew that there were many unspeakable contents buried in the official documents. In addition to savoring and speculating on its metaphors, it was impossible to reveal his true intentions in the official newspaper. The imperial edict mentioned that Ponu Hou was good at capturing fighter jets, hoping that Ponu Hou would lead the army to drive the Jiannu Tartars back to Liaodong, rather than annihilate the Jiannu army. This means that the Ming Dynasty court hoped that the Ponu Army would let the Jiannu army go home so that the Jiannu master who stayed in the Ming territory would leave the Daming Pass as soon as possible. Of course, the imperial edict also mentioned that the Minister of War Sun Chengzong was brave enough to serve, and the eunuch Cao Huachun, the inner court, was good at supervising the army, and led the Ming official army and the Ponu army to attack the Jiannu master on the battlefield outside the Xizhimen of the capital.

From this point of view, it can be seen that the extremely handsome Emperor Chongzhen and the Ming court hinted that Sun Chengzong and Cao Huachun would represent Emperor Chongzhen to negotiate with Zhang Ping'an on behalf of Emperor Chongzhen to negotiate the conditions for the establishment of the slaves' departure. At this time, Zhang Ping'an could already understand the content of the imperial edict, and the main reason was that Xu Yian had already sent the copy of the imperial edict to Zhang Dashen in advance. Through the interpretation of the clerks of the army, Zhang Ping'an had long grasped the bottom line of the imperial envoy for the Ming Dynasty to come to the front line.

Zhang Ping'an, the Marquis of Ponu, the Ming Dynasty, and Sun Chengzong, the chief envoy of the Imperial Envoy, Xu Guangqi and Cao Huachun, began a meaningless greeting for an hour. While chatting, he kept looking at the deputy envoy Xu Guangqi. Although Xu Guangqi, wearing a purple official robe, had a big face, a big nose, a big ear, and a bright eyes. The three strands of beards were neatly gray, and his back was not hunched, his back was strong and his waist was strong. Although Xu Guangqi had good at studying things, Zhang Ping'an valued his knowledge in farming. However, Xu Guangqi was old and was in a cold place in the area of ​​Ponu City, so Zhang Ping'an could only regretfully give up the idea of ​​Xu Guangqi staying in Ponu City.

Seeing that the warm-up area was almost over, Zhang Ping'an began to get to the main topic: "As a nobleman of the Ming Dynasty, it is the duty of a minister to share the worries of the emperor. However, Jiannu harmed the capital of the Ming Dynasty and committed the great crime of humans and gods. The Xuanwei envoy of the Destroyed Nucheng was the foreign vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and he would definitely wipe out Jiannu and avenge the deceased Ming people!"

Ponu Hou threw bricks and jade and gave a price, indicating that he understood the content of the imperial edict. The Ming Dynasty asked the Ponu Army to defeat the main force of Jiannu. Ponu Hou came to wipe out the Jiannu. This put the problem in the hands of the Ming mission. As an old fox in the officialdom, how could Sun Chengzong not understand the meaning of the little fox's words? He put down the tea bowl in his hand and bowed to Zhang Ping'an: "Ponu Hou Gaoyi! In order to save the Ming Dynasty's danger, Ponu Hou led the Ponu Army to leaps thousands of miles and fight against the enemy regardless of the lack of people and horses. I admire such righteous acts. Although Ponu Army is an elite army of tigers and wolves, he has the worries of weakness in succession. Please also ask Ponu Hou to think more and more good plans to retreat to the enemy!"

Two old fox wolves were fighting a puzzle, and the eunuch of Bingbi Cao Huachun still understood the meaning of Sun Chengzong's words. Although the Puru Army had strong combat power, the entire army had already become a tired soldier for thousands of miles. At this time, the Ponu Army was just a strong man on the outside and was not useful. Cao Huachun was very impressed by the threat of Zhang Ping'an, the Ponu Army to continue to besiege the Jiannu army. Sun Chengzong, who knew military, hit the key point of the Ponu Hou's exhausted soldier with one word.

"Old Master Sun underestimated my Po Nu Army. Once I arrived at the front, I defeated the main forces of the Qing Dynasty's Inlaid White Banner and Zhenghong Banner despite my fatigue, and killed more than 10,000 cavalrymen of the Inlaid White Banner! The Zhenghong Banner was defeated by my Po Nu Army a hundred miles away. It is obvious to all that I saved tens of thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty. How could I say that I was weak after all? The general of Datong Man Gui had a fateful friendship with this marquis. His death shocked me. This marquis will definitely avenge General Man Gui to fight the main force of the Qing Dynasty to the end!"

Zhang Ping'an is not a good bird either. Seeing that Sun Chengzong did not want to retreat and Zhang Ping'an counterattacked strongly. Sun Chengzong felt helpless in the face of the little fox's strength. The Ming Dynasty court did not have much capital to bargain with the little fox. For this reason, Sun Chengzong took the tea bowl in silence and thought about countermeasures. Seeing that the discussion had just entered the topic, Cao Huachun, the eunuch who was sitting under Xu Guangqi, got up at this time. He bowed to Zhang Ping'an and said, "Thank you Po Nuhou for your kind hospitality. Our family and Mr. Xu have been riding such a long horse and are so uncomfortable. Please allow our family to go down and rest."

Cao Huachun made a statement that Sun Chengzong and Zhang Ping'an had to discuss it separately, but knew that there were many transactions between Emperor Chongzhen and Ponuhou, and he would not have been able to make such a mystery when he left with Xu Guangqi first. Cao Huachun's active avoidance made Zhang Ping'an admire the fact that there were talented elites everywhere in the Ming Dynasty. He quickly stood up and gave up Cao Huachun and Xu Guangqili from the charge, and told Yang Lian and Song Meixin to accompany the two deputy envoys. Zhang Dashen said that accompanying the deputy envoys of the imperial envoys was to let Song Meixin use gold to appease Cao Huachun's affected soul.

After seeing off the imperial envoy, the tent of the deputy envoy of the imperial envoy was immediately quiet. Zhang Ping'an was sitting alone in the upper head seat. At this time, he ordered his guard to move the seat opposite Sun Chengzong, and a thick table was placed in the middle. Zhang Ping'an's speechless behavior implied that Sun Chengzong was still jealous of the old fox, for fear that Sun Chengzong would take action to harm him. Although Sun Chengzong was no longer a rival to Zhang Ping'an at this time, Zhang Ping'an never dared to slack off in front of Sun Chengzong, the old fox Sun Chengzong. Among all the officials of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Ping'an respected Sun Chengzong the most and was very afraid of him, so he was highly vigilant when discussing.

Seeing that the two of them were in the tent of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Chengzong, the veteran general of the Ming Dynasty, first ignored the little fox's intentional anger, and then showed his generosity and selflessness. For a long time, both of them were silently drinking tea and filling up water. In terms of water-mixing skills in the officialdom, Zhang Ping'an is not Sun Chengzong's opponent. Sun Chengzong can kill time and command the war ahead, so Zhang Ping'an took the lead and said: "The old man is worthy of being a scheming senior in the officialdom. Hey...he...hey, a word game that plots the emperor into will open our eyes to the younger generation!"

The little fox Zhang Ping'an talked about the defeat of Man Gui, just to anger Sun Chengzong so that he could take advantage of the situation. However, Zhang Ping'an's Taoism was still too shallow. Sun Chengzong has mastered the ability to be calm in honor and disgrace at this moment. When the little fox took the initiative to provoke trouble, Sun Chengzong replied calmly: "I have been an official for decades, but I have never seen any big storms? If you want to provoke trouble, don't start with me. Fame and fortune are a passing cloud. What are the concerns of a person who is about to retire?"

"Okay! The old man is cautious, I admire him! Anyway, there are no outsiders here, so I will talk about the emperor's plans! The boy guessed that Emperor Chongzhen allowed the opening of the court, and it was the opening of the border of Datong. He just wanted to take a bite of soup to cheer up my appetite. If he couldn't stand it, he would never be hungry. Humph! The emperor is not generous enough, and he is plotting against people in these small places. The foundation that Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty has worked hard to be destroyed in his hands today! How about it, the old man wants to pass on his words to the emperor to listen to?"

Today, Zhang Ping'an spoke astonishingly. His outspoken words today showed that Zhang Ping'an did not take Emperor Chongzhen at all. Although the conditions for opening up the scene of Emperor Chongzhen were not consistent with the speculation of the little fox, the inference of the little fox was not too outrageous. The deeper the attitude of the little fox's words was that he was completely disappointed with the emperor's behavior, and he, the despotic slave, no longer obeyed the Ming Dynasty's orders from now on. The deeper the thought of the old fox, Sun Chengzong, was more surprised and numb. The little fox Zhang Ping'an's statement today shows his mentality. Could it be that the little fox will raise the flag to rebel from now on? Regarding this guess, the imperial envoy of the Ming Dynasty made Sun Chengzong dare not think deeply. If the matter reaches such an irreversible point, Sun Chengzong will be the eternal sinner of the Ming Dynasty. (To be continued)
