It seemed that Rozov's order to seek the Ming peace talks was too late. The Ming army was in a state of unstoppable power and had already taken down nearly 70% of the bastions of the entire Siberian Plain in two months. When his order reached Golovin's hands, Golovin had been suppressed and retreated to the west bank of the Ob River.

Now Golovin replied to Rozov very quickly, because he no longer had to bypass the Ob River to send messages. If he whips up, the messenger would arrive at the imperial capital in three or four days.

While sending the best verbal general Kopelov, who is good at fooling people, to seek peace from the Ming army, he also sent someone to ask Rozov for instructions whether to lead the main force to retreat again? Because the Ming army's offensive was too fierce and the Siberian plain could not be defended at all. He wanted to retreat to the Wushan line to defend the danger, so that he might be able to withstand the Ming army's attack.

Kopelov was indeed very capable of fooling people. Last time he made Gu Shihan, who was so stupid that he was confused, fell into the arms of the Ming army, and directly destroyed the entire Western Regions. However, this time he was disappointed because he met Cao Wenzhao, a famous general of the Ming army.

It’s not that Cao Wenzhao was vulgar and unreasonable, so he didn’t see him at all, so he drove him back directly. Cao Wenzhao met him, and he was quite reasonable.

When Kopelov led the peace talks group to the Ming army camp, Cao Wenzhao personally met with the head and deputy envoys of Tsarist Russia in the side tent where he was resting without saying a word.

Kopelov was also lucky. Cao Wenzhao had just led the Ming army on the southern route to reach the fifth gathering point. The food, supplies, weapons and equipment had not been unloaded yet. Otherwise, if he was on the march or had already started the war, Cao Wenzhao would really have no time to see him.

When Kopelov walked into the side tent with fear, there were already three Ming generals sitting in the side tent. One Ming general in the uniform was sitting high in the main seat, and two Ming generals in the general's uniform sat in the lower right head, and the two seats in the lower left head were empty, which was obviously left for him and the deputy envoy of peace talks.

According to the translation, the person sitting high in the main position was Cao Wenzhao, the commander of the Ming army in the south, the deputy marshal of the Ming Empire, and the person sitting on the right was the commander of the second-class army of the Ming army, the commander of the second-class army of the Ming army, the commander of the third-class army of the Ming army, and the commander of the general of the army of the Ming army, the commander of the general of the army of the Ming army, and the commander of the general of the army of the Ming army, the commander of the general of the army of the Ming army, and the commander of the general of the army of the army, Hou Gongji.

The three of them have a very high status. They don’t seem to be the kind of unreasonable person. Maybe they can really stop them in the peace talks. Kopelov observed them secretly and finally had a little confidence in the peace talks.

However, he hit a nail when he opened his mouth.

As soon as he sat down, he said in a polite tone: "Marson Marshal, I will come to the peace talks on behalf of Tsarist Russia, and ask your army to immediately stop the attack on the Siberian plains and withdraw from Siberia."

After hearing the translator's retelling, Cao Wenzhao's eyes hopped up. He made a joke, but he stopped attacking and withdrew from Siberia! If he was terrified, he would slam the table and tell this guy to get out. However, before he came to Siberia, the emperor had already given him a face-to-face message. In response to this situation, he would not talk about anything and just send him away.

Therefore, he suppressed his anger in his heart and said with neither humility nor arrogant words: "General, please pay attention to the words, I am the deputy marshal of the Ming Army, not the marshal."

When Kopelov heard this, he couldn't help but wonder. He had to worry about this little thing. Is it important to add a subtitle?

However, he came to seek peace and had to lower his posture. If he accidentally angered the Ming army commander, there would be no talk. So he immediately smiled carefully and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Deputy Marshal, I accidentally called it wrong. Please consider our proposal."

This sub-word is of course very important, because this is how Zhu Cijiu gave him the way to send someone to a peace talks with the envoy, otherwise how could he be responsible for attacking the Ob River Basin rather than Lu Xiangsheng?

He still said with no humility or arrogance: "Sorry, General, you also know that I am just a deputy marshal and have no right to make decisions. Therefore, I cannot answer your country's proposal, and I can only act according to the orders of the Ministry of War and the Grand Marshal of the Army."

Kopelov was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that he couldn't make a decision. What's the use of talking to him?

He really didn't know where the Ming army was, because the Ming army had blocked the Ob River Basin, and the Yeni River, which was thousands of miles apart, had long disappeared. He had no idea where the Ming army on the east route had already attacked!

Now, he was really helpless. He said in a nearly begging tone: "Please also ask the Deputy Marshal to convey our proposal to the Ministry of War of the Ming Empire and the Grand Marshal of the Ming Empire Army."

Cao Wenzhao nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, I will convey it to you. General, please come back. After receiving the instructions from the Ministry of War or the Grand Marshal, I will send someone to notify you."

Kopelov was invited back in a confused manner, but the Ming army on the southern route had no intention of stopping the attack. Soon, all the bastions around the fifth gathering point were captured again.

Now Golovin was even more anxious like an ant on the hot pan. He had been pressed to the southeast corner of the Siberian Plain. There were only more than ten bastions left around him, and he had only a hundred thousand people under him. He could not withstand the attack of the Ming army on the plain. The newly equipped steel monsters of the Ming army were simply developed for the plain fighting, and it was really unstoppable on the plain!

Seeing that the Ming army had already been pressed up, he had to issue a half-threatening request: Prime Minister, I have only a hundred thousand people. If I were surrounded and annihilated by the Ming army, no one would guard Wushan. After crossing Wushan, there would be another plain. At that time, the Ming army would really fight to the imperial capital.

Cao Wenzhao, no matter what Golowen thought, he still led 300,000 yuan to the sixth gathering point as planned. As for the bastion behind, Sun Chuanting arranged people to garrison, so he didn't have to worry about it. He just took down the more than ten bastions in front of him and even completed the task.

Under the fierce offensive of the Ming army, these more than ten bastions naturally couldn't last long. When Golovin led his main force to flee in a panic, he finally received Rozov's order: to retreat to the Wushan Mountains in full and leave the Siberian Plain alone for the time being.

Rozov had no choice. He really didn't want to give up on the Siberian Plain. It would be difficult to fight back if he gave up. But the Wushan Mountains are more important because the European land is behind. If the Ming army was allowed to rush across the Wushan Mountains, then Tsarist Russia would be really finished.

Therefore, he finally let Golovin lead his army out of the Siberian plain, because the 100,000 people under Golovin were really unable to afford to lose. Now Tsarist Russia is left with 100,000 people near the imperial capital and 100,000 people near Golovin. If Golovin was surrounded and annihilated by the Ming army, no one would guard the Wushan Mountains.

The 100,000 people in the imperial capital cannot move. If they move, the Ming army does not need to rush over, and the European powers may come to pick up bargains. No one is jealous of an unguarded country. Sometimes allies are just a piece of paper, thin, and can be broken with one stab.
