The things that Tang Feng had worried about before did not happen. Although the army had already penetrated into the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom, because the attack was too sudden, the Jin people were completely unprepared. Moreover, the Ming army was very ruthless this time, so the Jin people who had reached Chenyang City were dispersed and could not gather their strength to intercept the Ming army's logistics and supplies troops halfway. In addition, Tang Feng left a lot of people to protect the city along the way. Even if there was really a small force that was blind, they were wiped out, so the logistics came very safely.

But now it is winter, with heavy wind and heavy snow, and there are many large trucks in the logistics industry, filled with heavy food and weapons. The speed on this road cannot be fast. Based on the principle that the three armies have not moved and food and grass are the first to move, the fastest logistics team is the food and grass, while other weapons such as arrows and gunpowder can only take their time.[]

But now the Ming army lacks the necessary weapons such as gunpowder. When they saw that the logistics army sent all food and grass, Tang Feng could only smile bitterly. But he did not do anything wrong. Naturally, he could not blame the soldiers who had worked hard for a long time, so he had to arrange for them to go down and rest. Although the Ming army has the upper hand now, the weapons have been almost exhausted, so he can only stop attacking the city for the time being, and then strike with all his strength after gunpowder and other items are delivered.

But Tang Feng was afraid that some of his actions would attract the attention of the golden men in the city, which would make them take the risk. Although they might not be the opponents of the Ming army if they really wanted to fight, it would be good that there might be fewer casualties. Then he needed to think of a way to stabilize them, and Tang Feng thought of this trick to persuade the surrender.

With the decades of hatred between the Jin people and the Ming Dynasty, Tang Feng knew that these people could not believe that the Ming army would stop under such a favorable situation. However, they were at the end of their lives. If they could take a breath, they might not be moved. So he came up with this method and pretended to persuade the surrender to delay the time.

After receiving the letter of persuasion of surrender, the Jin people in the city were also very strange. They didn't know what the Ming army was going to do. The war had reached this point, and no one could stop at this time. This made many people doubt this and believed that the Ming army had any conspiracy. They immediately thought of the previous statement about the loss of Yingkou. It was all because of a rumor from the Ming army that the Han people there suddenly turned against each other. Could it be that they still wanted to use the same move?

Huang Taiji called all the ministers to discuss the matter, wanting to see what the Ming army was thinking. Among them, many generals were completely disdainful of this, believing that this was just a suspicion array that the Ming army laid out for slack off the spirit of the Great Jin. Others had different opinions, such as Fan Wencheng. After listening to everyone's words, he said: "Khan, if I was not wrong, it should be that the Ming army outside had no enough weapons like us and wanted to delay time. If we leave the city to raid at this time, we may have unexpected gains."

"Mr. Fan is such a bad word." As soon as he finished speaking, several people shook their heads and said. Although Huang Taiji still trusted Fan Wencheng very much, he was a Han person after all. Even if he was a member of the Eight Banners, it would be difficult to change his position in the hearts of the ministers of the Jin Kingdom. Usually, he was isolated by his ministers, and this time he was naturally no exception.

After saying negative words together, those people said: "Khan, the Han people have always been cunning, which can be seen from the previous battle in Liaoyang. They did this, because they lacked weapons, so they wanted us to think about it. In the opinion of the minister, they were just luring us out of the city. If we really went out of the city to attack them, they would probably hit their tricks, and the scene in Liaoyang City would be repeated."

This resonated with many ministers. The previous scene of Liaoyang failure made them still feel scared. How could they dare to take this risk again? Someone said: "Khan, I actually think the two judgments in the previous ones are more correct. The Ming army must be sending signals to the Han people in the city to cooperate with them to do something. So I think we should be careful about the situation in the city now. In addition, we can also take this opportunity to let the soldiers take a break and send people to the Ming army to take a look at it with the order of peace."

This method is obviously more secure. Even if Huang Taiji trusts Fan Wencheng, he cannot ignore the ideas of others and nodded and agreed. If everything is his own concern, it would be a good thing to really reach a reconciliation with the Ming army. So they immediately selected one person as the envoy and went to the Ming army formation.

Tang Feng met the envoy very friendly and said to him with a smile: "In the common interests of both sides, if the conflict between you and me can be peacefully resolved, my country's Duke would not want to lead people to kill more. Now that you, Khan of the Jin Dynasty, can know so much, is a blessing for me, Daming and your Jin Dynasty."

Seeing that he was talking like a little, the generals who knew his intentions were laughing. If they were true, Tang Feng's murderous intention towards the Jin people would only be more powerful than himself. If it weren't for his permission, the captives and ordinary herders would not have been massacred. I don't know why Duke An of the Guogong hated these Jin people so much. Tang Feng could not tell the history he knew. The reason why he did this was just to fulfill his wish when he was reading history.

When he saw the heinous crimes committed against the Han people after the Qing army entered the pass, and when China in the 19th century was bullied by the great powers because of the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government, he always thought that it would be great if he could eradicate these nations that caused constant disasters to the Chinese nation. At that time, he could only vent in his imagination. Now with such an opportunity, how could he still bear it? This time, he not only wanted to destroy the country, but also barbarize the tribe and let the Jurchens disappear.

Of course, the Jin envoy who sat respectfully on the other side would not know about his idea. He just spoke his opinion respectfully, hoping that the Ming Dynasty could give some conditions for peace talks.

Tang Feng smiled and said, "Your Jin and I have been in war for years, and countless casualties were killed and injured. This time, the reason why my Duke led his army to attack here was because you were invading me in Liaodong first. However, with the intention of not doing anything for yourself, my Duke did not want to force others too much and just increased the killing. In this way, as long as your Khan is willing to go out of the city to admit his mistakes and hand over some Han traitors who surrendered to you to deal with, my Duke will retreat. Of course, you must also write a document and promise not to invade the south again!"

"This... Xiaguan has a humble status and cannot make this decision for my Khan. I would like to ask Duke An to stay for two days. After Xiaguan returns to the city to meet the Khan, he will discuss a result and then give a reply."

"Okay, my country's Duke will wait for you outside the city for two days." Tang Feng said with a smile. According to his judgment, the weapons will arrive in two days. At that time, no matter what the Jin people plan, he can conquer Chenyang City in one fell swoop. If Huang Taiji was really convinced and came out to sign a peace agreement, he would be able to easily remove it. History will only remember the winner. As for what means he used to achieve the goal, it will only be covered up under the songs of later generations, so Tang Feng did not care whether it was too despicable or shameless to do so.

If there were still people among the Jin people who were suspicious of Tang Feng's intention to negotiate peace, after hearing his conditions, everyone believed 90%. Such harsh conditions were carefully designed by the other party at a glance, so as to get enough benefits. This showed their sincerity. The powerful and powerful Jin Kingdom thought that for the sake of the safety of the Jin Dynasty, they had agreed to Tang Feng's conditions.

Huang Taiji was silent at this moment, and he looked at Fan Wencheng below. If he really wanted to do this, he would be afraid that the first person to be handed over would be his confidant. But now it is related to the safety of the Dajin and the whole country. Even if he is a Dakang, he cannot oppose everyone with his own selfishness. Who knows what these people will do then?

Fan Wencheng felt a chill when he saw this. No one believed anything he said. They only thought that he was trying to bring the Jin Kingdom back to protect himself. Lord Fan, who has always been very wise and well-known for his goodness in argument, could not say anything, but just looked at Huang Taiji above him with fear, not knowing what decision he would make.

After a long silence, Huang Taiji said: "This matter is very important, and I can't make up for a moment, so let's wait. Mongolia is also attacking the border of the Ming Dynasty, or they have won in the past two days. Tang Feng is eager to go back to make such a decision. We must not make this decision in a hasty way to make their conspiracy successful."

Although the speculation he said had some truth, the ministers disagreed. It turned out that they did not take the Ming army seriously, believing that fighting on the plains, ten thousand Jin troops could defeat ten times the enemy. But after this, their concepts changed by 180 degrees and they began to fear the Ming army. In their opinion, the elite soldiers and cavalry of the Jin Dynasty were not opponents of the Ming army, and how could the Mongols far inferior to the Jin Dynasty win? This was probably just an excuse that the Khan was unable to make up his mind for a moment.

That night, some powerful people who had been calm in recent years gathered secretly in one place again. This time they discussed how to seize greater power, but to save themselves.

"What is Fan Wencheng's ability to make Da Han so partial to him?"

"Isn't it because he is good at flattering, and when Prince Rui is in the right direction? I heard that he helped Prince Rui at the beginning, but later he suddenly turned against him because he saw that the situation was not good. This is clearly a shameless villain, a Han man was an official in my Dajin Jin. From this point of view, this person has no integrity."

"Yes, for him alone, our Dajin has to bear the danger of being attacked by the Ming army into Shengjing. We must not let such a thing happen. What do you think?"

After a while of silence, everyone finally nodded and said, "We must not sit and watch the country that Nurhaci conquered was defeated by a Han man. Since the Khan cannot make the decision, let's help him make this idea. This is also for the future of my Dajin. I believe no one can blame us."

"Okay, let's recruit people now, and take them away now, otherwise he might leave in the dark. It would be too difficult to find him at that time."

After returning to his residence, Fan Wencheng became more and more uneasy when he thought about it. He recalled the scene at that time. Except for the Khan, other Jin officials looked at him with a strange look, as if they were going to kill him. He knew his position very well. Even with the Khan's protection, it would not be difficult for those adults to do whatever they wanted to do with the style of Jin. Now the situation is at the most critical moment. Will they take action regardless of the Khan's face?

"No, I have to think of a way to save myself. It is definitely not possible to leave the city. Now there are many soldiers in the city, so I can't get involved among the people. The only thing that can protect me is Dashan!" Thinking of this, he immediately stood up and went to the palace. At this time, his wife and children at home were not caring about it, because he knew that as long as he was safe, his family would not have any trouble. In addition, he also thought of saying things. Judging from the attitude of the Ming army, they would not retreat so easily this time.

But Fan Wencheng's movements were still a little slower. When he hurriedly walked out of the side door and wanted to go to the palace to meet the Khan, the Jin Dynasty's powerful people had already ordered the troops in the mansion to kill him, and surrounded his residence. These powerful people all had their own power, which was to ensure their status in the Jin Dynasty. Even the Khan Huang Taiji had no right to interfere. So they did it as soon as they said they could and immediately brought their troops.

"Mr. Fan, where are you going?" Seeing him coming out of the door, someone who had been waiting there for a long time asked with a smile. The Jin soldiers around him also smiled maliciously.

"I have something big to see Da Khan, you guys..." Fan Wencheng Qiang calmed down and only hoped that he would bring out Da Khan, so that these people would be afraid of it.

But this is Dajin, not the Central Plains. The emperor's authority has not yet reached the point where no one dares to say no. Hearing him say this, those people laughed: "Mr. Fan, I think Dahan will not see you again. But we understand your desire to serve Dajin. This time, there is a great contribution to you."

"You..." Fan Wencheng's expression changed drastically when he heard this. But before he could continue speaking, the Jin soldiers around him had already received the order from above, and immediately grabbed his hands, then took the hemp rope and tied them up to a strong bond.

Fan Wencheng's face was pale and said loudly: "You can't treat me like this. Da Khan said this and he has to look at it again. His Ming army is just a delaying strategy. We must not be fooled."

"Mr. Fan, please save this breath." As he said that, someone stuffed a large bunch of rags into Fan Wencheng's mouth, and then everyone surrounded him and left the Fan Mansion. The servants in his mansion saw that they were all Jin troops, so how could they dare to come out to stop them? They could only sigh there.

Apart from Fan Wencheng, the other Han ministers in Chenyang City were not spared, and they were all taken down. They came to Jin Kingdom with great thoughts and betrayed their ancestors, but in return they had such a result, which was a reward. They had a slight fantasy and hoped that Fan Wencheng, who was valued by the Khan, could save everyone's lives, but when they saw that even he was tied up, these people knew that the deadline was approaching, and their faces were pale.

At this point, the Jin people no longer planned to ask for instructions from Dahan. They immediately escorted these traitors out of Chenyang City and came to the Ming army camp. When they saw these people appear, the Ming army was a little surprised. After learning about the identities of these people, the soldiers all showed contempt and immediately stepped forward to push the shameless people into the camp. As for the Jin soldiers who were escorting them, they were sent back. Tang Feng had already issued an order. Before gunpowder and other weapons arrived, the army was not allowed to go to war with the Jin people without authorization, so they had to let them leave.

In the central army tent, Tang Feng looked at the depressed Fan Wencheng with a sneer and said, "In Ningyuan City that day, I once said that a traitor like you would not have a good end. Now it has come true, right?"

Fan Wencheng was already loosened at this time, but he, a scholar, had no ability to hurt Tang Feng, so he could only smile bitterly: "I have nothing to say to success, king, defeat, bandit, but someone will definitely seek revenge on your crimes committed by Tang Feng in the Jin Kingdom."

"Hmph, the Jin people have harmed so many people over the years, and I am just paying off my debts. It seems that you, a lackey, are really a real person. You actually regard yourself as a Jin people and say that mine is not." Tang Feng glanced at him in disgust, and then said, "But your master doesn't take you seriously. If you have any situation, you will be thrown out and die."

"That guy is short-sighted. I don't know how cunning you, Tang Feng, just take it seriously and do what you say, and you will withdraw your troops."

"You're right. I never thought about letting it continue to exist when I came to Jin Kingdom this time. I can also let you die clearly. The reason why I did this this time was that in addition to wanting the lives of you, the more important reason was to buy some time. Soon, our artillery would have sufficient ammunition again. At that time, it's the turn of the Jin people in the city."

Although he had already thought of this, when Fan Wencheng got the exact news from Tang Feng's mouth, he was still shocked. After a while, he said: "Are you not afraid of being ridiculed by future generations when you go back on your word?"
