Li Yuanqing did not expect that Huang Taiji would put forward such conditions to him at such a time.

Use Sahalian, Wunage, including the real slaves previously captured by Li Yuanqing, in exchange for the bones of the Ming army soldiers left in Houjin...

Speaking of the issue of the skeletons of the Ming army soldiers in the battle against Hou Jin, what Li Yuanqing remembers most is his evaluation of the battle of Shishu Shaling, 'The phosphorescent light will not be determined for a hundred years!'

How tragic was the Battle of Sand Ridge back then?

A hundred years later, ordinary people will not need to hold up lanterns when walking on the sand ridge at night.

Not to mention, before, Fushun, Kaiyuan, Sarhu, Shenyang, Liaoyang...

By this time, even Li Yuanqing had somewhat forgotten these miserable soldiers, let alone others...

You must know that the War of the Liao Dynasty has almost been uprooted by the Jin Army. Even Li Yuanqing's foundation at this time, the veterans who followed him in Zhenjiang, Sanchahe, and Guanglu Island, have very few relatives. How can we talk about the tragic soldiers who died in the chaos?

Who will remember them?

Who will remember them?

Who has ever remembered that they used their humblest warm blood to defend the land where their ancestors had shed blood, sweated and thrived?

Seeing Li Yuanqing fall into deep silence, Fan Wencheng didn't dare to take another breath.

But in my heart, I couldn't help but admire Huang Taiji.

These two gentlemen, perhaps, are really destined rivals.

The person who knows Li Yuanqing best is Khan...

No wonder, before leaving, the Great Khan was full of confidence in Fan Wencheng...

For a long time, Li Yuanqing exhaled a long breath, lit a cigar slowly, but looked at Fan Wencheng with piercing eyes, "Brother Fan, if Huang Taiji has anything else to say, please say it word by word." I!"

"Eh? Yes."

Although Li Yuanqing was not his master, Fan Wencheng was willing to become Li Yuanqing's slave.

Of course, he also knew very well what exactly he needed to do to gain Li Yuanqing's respect. He was busy paying attention to Huang Taiji's instructions to him in the future and recounted them to Li Yuanqing one by one.

Li Yuanqing was silent for a long time after hearing this.

After a long while, he said: "Huang Taiji really has a good plan. However, I promise him this matter!"

"Uh...thank you Li Shuai, thank you Li Shuai."

Fan Wencheng hurriedly bowed to Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing smiled and waved his hand and said: "Brother Fan, after all, this matter is not a matter of one time and one place. I want to know the sincerity of Huang Taiji and Hou Jin."

Fan Wencheng hurriedly said respectfully: "Li Shuai, what the Great Khan means is that the city of Haizhou will be ceded to Li Shuai. The middle section of Haizhou and Anshan Fort will be the boundary between us and we will not invade each other..."

As Fan Wencheng spoke, he carefully looked at Li Yuanqing's face.

If Li Yuanqing looked slightly strange and the lion opened his mouth, he would immediately implement the next preparatory plan.

Huang Taiji's bottom line is Dongsheng Fort. Even if it is really out of control, Huang Taiji can accept even if Anshan Fort is ceded.

But to Fan Wencheng's disappointment, Li Yuanqing's expression didn't look too strange, and he didn't even open his mouth. He nodded slowly and said: "Brother Fan, I give Huang Taiji five days. Within five days, Huang Taiji packed up everything neatly and returned Haizhou to me, the Ming Dynasty. This matter will be over. Otherwise, if you slow down, this agreement will be invalid!"

"Yes, yes. I will go back and report to the Great Khan immediately."

…………

"Fuck, that bastard Huang Taiji is really going to run away. Yuan Qing, how can we let them go so easily?"

Not long after Fan Wencheng left, Chen Zhong was summoned to the tent by Li Yuanqing. When he heard the news, Chen Zhong was also shocked, but in an instant, he was unwilling to accept it.

It took a lot of effort to get here, but the real battle has not yet begun. Huang Taiji, a bastard, wants to run away. How can he endure this?

Li Yuanqing was extremely calm on his side, and smiled and said: "Brother, Huang Taiji is definitely not a good person. I'm afraid, if I were more open-minded and asked for a few more places, he might not agree.

"

"Well……"

Chen Zhong couldn't help being speechless, and said with some unspeakable pain: "Yuan Qing, this matter, brother, what do you think of you? If that's the case, why, why don't you ask Huang Taiji for more space? Here,

After all, this is our Ming Dynasty’s land.”

"hehe."

Li Yuanqing smiled and shook his head, "Brother, do you remember, I have always told you this truth. People eat as much as their appetites have. Anshan Fort is indeed good, but at this time, the main force of Houjin has not been eliminated.

, let’s take down Anshan Fort, how much manpower and material resources will we need to defend it?”

"This... Yuan Qing, you mean..."

Chen Zhong also reacted at this time, but he was too excited to say complete words.

Li Yuanqing nodded and said: "Brother, if nothing else happens, I'm afraid that the next battlefield will be inside our Ming Dynasty. Although there is a river in Haizhou City, the mouth of the river is in the northern section of the Sancha River. There are too many places where they can do anything.

.”

"Fuck Huang Taiji! This bastard! I mean, why did he suddenly start pretending to be a grandson! Feelings, this bastard is waiting here. Yuan Qing, then, what should we do?

I'm afraid this meat with bones won't be that delicious."

Chen Zhong had fully reacted at this time.

At this time, Huang Taiji seemed to have surrendered a temporary and local advantage, but~, as long as Li Yuanqing took the bait and blindly expanded the position regardless of his own strength, then~~ the initiative in the subsequent war would be handed back to

Later, it was in the hands of the Jin Army.

At this time, the Ming army could rely on waterways and fight as if they were fighting on their own. However, once they lost the support of waterways and the cold winter arrived, it would not be so easy.

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Brother, things are not as bad as we thought, let alone that difficult. To capture Haizhou, our political mission has been completed. We have also given explanations to all aspects. I am prepared that Huang Taiji will use these soldiers in the future

After their skeletons are returned, a large-scale Loyalty Shrine will be built in Haizhou."

War, in the final analysis, still has to serve politics.

Huang Taiji wanted to abandon Haizhou. With the combat power of the Ming army, he could not catch up even if he wanted to. Fighting blindly in the field was far from being a wise choice.

If Li Yuanqing can build a large-scale Loyalty Shrine in Haizhou, it will have a certain moderating and gathering effect on politics and popularity among the people. It is a very safe choice at this time.

Chen Zhong also figured out the solution and nodded with a smile, "Yuan Qing, your method is indeed sound. Unfortunately, this time it was too cheap for this bastard Huang Taiji."

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Brother, please note that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. We have many problems of our own."

Chen Zhong nodded heavily, "Yuan Qing, don't worry. I will personally keep an eye on the affairs of your subordinates."

…………

Fan Wencheng returned to Haizhou City and met Huang Taiji as soon as possible.

At this time, many of the troops of the Hou Jin Army had already organized themselves, and they would return north early the next morning.

In this world, it is easy to pick up things, and many people can do it, but it is by no means easy to put things down.

Even Huang Taiji made this decision reluctantly after experiencing the pain that was like a needle prick.

Fortunately, it's not too late to make amends.

Although Dajin suffered a lot of trauma in the battle of Haizhou this time, it was not fatal. In addition, with the previous plunder in Daming, it would not be a big problem to survive this winter.

But next spring, they will no longer be able to withstand such trouble.

Li Yuanqing's blocking of Haizhou was equivalent to blocking the route for the Jin army to move south. If they wanted to enter the pass and plunder, it would not be as easy as before.

After listening to Fan Wencheng's report, Huang Taiji couldn't help but frown tightly, feeling a little gloomy for a moment.

Fan Wencheng did not dare to say more than a word, and was cautious, fearing that he might offend Huang Taiji's brow.

After a while, Huang Taiji suddenly smiled: "Fan Qing, why do you think Li Yuanqing made such a choice?"

Cold sweat broke out on Fan Wencheng's forehead.

These two masters and gods are fighting, and it’s not easy for him, a little guy, to be caught in the middle.

He hurriedly racked his brains and said respectfully: "Khan, Li Yuanqing is a person who has a certain amount of progress and retreat, especially he is not greedy. This is really scary. I, Da Jin, have taken this breath, so I must think carefully about it."

"hehe."

Huang Taiji smiled: "Fan Qing, you have worked hard today, go down and rest. I will keep your contribution in my heart."

Fan Wencheng left, but Huang Taiji's expression suddenly turned gloomy.

He stood blankly by the window for a long time, then suddenly strode to the table, spread out the rice paper, and wrote a few lines of big characters in a flying style: "Eight hundred miles away, my subordinates will be burned, fifty strings will be heard outside the Great Wall, and the troops will be dispatched in autumn on the battlefield."

!”

…………

Early the next morning, the Hou Jin army began a large-scale retreat.

However, Huang Taiji was very careful. He personally led the main force of the two yellow flags to provide support, and there were main guards with blue flags, red flags, and white flags on the left and right. Although they were retreating, the formation was stable and not chaotic.

Last night, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong had summoned officers from all ministries and above to take the "vaccination".

At this time, the news of the retreat of the Jin army came. Although there was a slight commotion among the soldiers, the skeletons of the officers at all levels were intact.

Soon, the wind among the men was correctly guided.
