Zhang Miao didn't understand what Peng Rong's question meant for a moment, but he was also a person who had been dealing with others for a long time, so he immediately said a lot of painless words.

Zhang Miao's words were completely nutritious, just like what he said in the prefect's office, and told him that he had sent a letter to Gao Jin, and that the matter must be decided by Gao Jin.

In addition to these, Zhang Miao even smiled and said that if Gao Jin agreed to the negotiation proposal, then all parties could not only stop the military and reconcile, but would even be a family in the future. Peng Rong was Zhao Hongcan's confidant, and Zhao Hongcan was also a military and political official who was ordered by Emperor Jianxing to command the three provinces. In the future, Zhao Hongcan would have to take good care of him and let Peng Rong see Zhao Hongcan say a few words for Gao Jin's troops.

When he heard this, Peng Rong burst into laughter, and Zhang Miao laughed at the same time. But who would have thought that Peng Rong's laughter became louder and louder, but he couldn't stop for a while. This made Zhang Miao feel strange and gradually restrained his smile.

"Zhang Xiang, the wise man doesn't say secret words, you are not sincere!" Finally, Peng Rong stopped laughing and said seriously.

"What does Mr. Peng mean? Zhang really doesn't know." Zhang Miao looked puzzled.

Seeing that Zhang Miao was still pretending to be confused, Peng Rong shook his head and sighed, and immediately stood up and said, "Originally, Peng was planning to come to discuss the major issues of the world with Zhang Xiang, and seek cooperation. Who would have thought that Zhang Xiang used these to excuse Peng, which really disappointed Peng. Forget it, since that's the case, Peng has come for nothing this time, so I'll say goodbye..."

"Let's go!" Seeing Peng Rong getting up and leaving, Zhang Miao's expression changed and quickly stopped him, and then asked, "I wonder what the big thing Mr. Peng said about is going on with cooperation? Can you say it bluntly?"

Peng Rong was originally doing it. Since he came, how could he leave before he achieved his goal? He shook his head and said, "This big thing is naturally a big thing in the world, even including this Guizhou thing. As for cooperation, it is what Zhang Xiang understood."

Zhang Miao frowned immediately, but he quickly relaxed and invited Peng Rong to take his seat again.

"Mr. Peng, actually, what I said just now is not an excuse. This matter is of great importance. Only Prince Gao cannot make a decision. I came here this time just by being ordered by Prince Gao. However, since Mr. Peng said this, it is enough to show his sincerity. In my opinion, Liu Futai's meaning is nothing more than to stabilize Guizhou without bloodshed, and then use you and me as a barrier to the Ming army."

"I heard that Zhang Xiang is resourceful for a long time, but it is not unexpected." Peng Rong immediately praised: "Peng is not wrong. His Liu Yinshu's abacus can't hide it from you. Since that's the case, Peng will be blunt?"

"Sir, please speak." Zhang Miao said politely.

Immediately, Peng Rong talked freely, talked about the overall situation of the world with Zhang Miao, and pointed out the intention of Gao Jin's troops to the south to Guizhou.

In his opinion, Gao Jin's troops went south to Guizhou to avoid the Ming army's frontline in the Central Plains, and secondly, they also planned to find a piece of land to stay away from China. Therefore, Guizhou was not actually the target chosen by Gao Jin's troops. But further south of Guizhou, that is, Annan or Myanmar, this is the real goal of Gao Jin's troops.

Zhang Miao was shocked at this. He did not expect that Peng Rong could see Gao Jin's plan at a glance. What Peng Rong said was indeed true. Gao Jin had decided to enter Guizhou and planned to open up the road to the south, from Yunnan and Guizhou to Annan or Myanmar, and then build a "paradise" in this outer land.

But even in Gao Jin's army, there are very few people who know about this policy. In addition to Zhang Miao, Lady Lin and Gao Jin's two wives, the rest are just a few senior officials in the army.

Peng Rong was not a member of the rebel army, but a member of the Qing army in Guangxi. In addition to the last meeting, it was only the second time he met Peng Rong today. Who would have thought that Peng Rong would tell Gao Jin's strategy in one word?

For a moment, Zhang Miao felt a little dazed, but his expression did not change much. He continued to listen quietly to the other party's speech without any comment.

"Although Liu Yinshu's suggestion is good, if your subordinates do not intend to continue to move south, then they can temporarily settle down in Guizhou. Even as Liu Yinshu said, it may not be necessary to grant a title to Prince Gao, a vassal king in the court. In this way, wealth and honor are within reach."

Speaking of this, Peng Rong glanced at Zhang Miao, paused and continued, "If this move was not bad in the past, it was not uncommon for the so-called murder and arson, and the rebellion and revenge. It has been uncommon throughout the ages. As long as you have a self-respecting force, you cannot say that you will be peaceful for a long time, and you will be safe and worry-free for at least ten years. But if there is a major change today, the Qing court is declining, and what will happen if this Qing court becomes a vassal king? Peng thinks Zhang Xiang naturally knows more than me."

"Mr. Peng, this seems to be a bit over?" Hearing this, Zhang Miao couldn't help but ask, "Let's not talk about Mr. Peng, just talk about Governor Zhao of Guangxi. He is now a chief official of the Qing court, and is even ordered by the Emperor and the court to lead the troops? You are so straightforward that the Qing court is not, aren't you a minister of the Qing court?"

"Hahaha!" Peng Rong suddenly laughed: "Zhang Xiang's eyes are like lightning! You are right. My general is indeed a minister of the Qing court, but this minister is only nominal. If the Qing court really thinks that my general is an important official, how can the Qing army in Yunnan and Guizhou meet with friendly soldiers?"

"You..." Zhang Miao did not expect Peng Rong to be so bold, so he tore off this layer of fig leaf and told the truth bluntly.

Peng Rong looked at him not caring at all, and shook his folding fan and said, "Qing court? Haha, now it's just a dry bone in the tomb. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the situation in the world. The so-called Qin lost his deer, and the world chased him. Originally, there was a chance for your troops, but it was a pity that Prince Yuan was defeated first, and later the situation was lost due to the changes in the Central Plains. Now the Central Plains has been in the hands of the Ming army. The Ming Dynasty has become a powerful climate to look at the world, and unification of China is a foregone conclusion."

Zhang Miao looked a little sad at this time. Peng Rong was right. Yuan Qi would not say it before. As the first person to cause trouble, Yuan Qi had the most powerful force at that time and was the highest leader of the rebel army in command of the world. His troops swept through several provinces with strong troops.

It’s a pity that Yuan Qi made a few mistakes, especially the time he fought Hangzhou City, which made the good situation turn around overnight, causing Yuan Qi to lose the best opportunity to fight for dominance in the world. Although Yuan Qi learned his lessons and regrouped, he failed to succeed for various reasons. When Yuan Qi was defeated in Jiangxi, he died and his grand career disappeared.

Afterwards, Wang Zhiqing initiated an uprising in Sichuan and occupied the entire Sichuan. His troops were known as one million people, and their momentum was even more shocking than the Ming Dynasty in Jiangnan. At that time, Zhang Miao, as Wang Zhiqing's left-hand man, also felt that the climate of fighting for the world with the power of the White Lotus Sect was established, and the entire army was even more ambitious and full of ambitions.

But who thought that Wang Zhiqing could not wait to go straight to the Central Plains to compete with Zhu Jiancai after he left Sichuan. But no one expected that this was a mistake in this move, which made Wang Zhiqing's army trapped in Henan after leaving Sichuan. He did not make much achievements for a very long time, thus losing the most precious time.

Needless to say, after the Qing army reacted, and Zhu Jiancai's two swords, Wang Zhiqing's troops suffered a great loss, not only lost their old nest in Sichuan, but later they did not defend them. In the end, they had no choice but to lead the defeated generals to flee in a panic. If it weren't for the loss of Gao coming in to rescue him, Wang Zhiqing and all of his troops would have completely perished in that battle.

After joining the army, the disheartened Wang Zhiqing handed over the power to Gao Jin, and Gao Jin took over the power of the White Lotus Sect. But at this time the overall situation of the world had changed. Although the power had been strengthened, Gao Jin's troops were still a strong army that could not be ignored. Unfortunately, it was too late. It was impossible to fight for the world at this time. Gao Jin had no choice but to join forces with the Ming army to fight against the Qing army. Then, because the Ming army was forced to evacuate the Qing army, he finally decided on the strategic deployment of going south to leave Shenzhou.

In just a short moment, Zhang Miao thought a lot and felt infinitely emotional. It is indeed impossible to fight for the world. Peng Rong was right about this, but Zhang Miao was also a little dissatisfied and asked immediately.

"Could Zhao still have the ambition to compete for the world?"

Peng Rong smiled and shook his head: "My boss is a wise man, and he can see the situation clearly, and he is fighting for the world? If you might have some ideas a few years ago, but it is impossible now. However, you can't compete for the world. In this great battle, you can find a happy land like a prince of Guigao to lead the army and protect yourself. This is also the reason why Peng came to visit today."
