Wu Zheng's face gradually became serious.

He now knew that Chen Zhiyuan was not really going to lead his army south, but to "force the palace" this time.

What Chen Zhiyuan really wants is his own promise and his promise to the Shen family.

"I can't guarantee anything...but, for your sake, I will protect her life...no worries!"

Chen Zhiyuan was silent for a long time, and finally bowed and said, "Thank you brother!"

Wu Zheng sighed, "Put your mind away... Recovering Shuntian Prefecture is the top priority... The top priority is beneficial to both the country, the people and themselves!"

Chen Zhiyuan sighed lightly, "...In fact, sometimes I really think that if you were really killed in Jiading... I was still in Shining Town... Maybe, I would be happier!"

Wu Zheng said, "You have just died... Didn't you say that your ambition is to be a Confucian general who leads 100,000 troops on the battlefield... Isn't it realised now? Why do you feel melancholy? I really... I don't know the taste of sorrow!"

"But... many things can't be recovered!" Chen Zhiyuan sighed leisurely.

Wu Zheng was stunned and suddenly shouted angrily: "Get out... I will never forgive you if I have any bad thoughts!"

....

Surprisingly, Jidu is here.

The identity he came from here was Jirgalang's plenipotent representative, that is, the plenipotent representative of the Qing court.

Jidu had "promoted" Prince Heshuo Jianchun of the Qing Dynasty at this time, and he was no longer the playboy who had been captured and humiliated by Liu Yidao.

It is said that military officers are promoted to a rocket during war, but in fact, civil servants are the same.

Of course, Ji Du is probably not reliable for both civil and military officials, so he is only reliable for his father's blessing.

Originally, Wu Zheng did not intend to summon him because his degree was not qualified.

Wu Zheng originally planned to temporarily transfer Li Yong to "give" Ji Du.

But Jidu was really prepared, and he sent someone a message in - "Does the King of Wu still want the northwest?"

Wu Zheng immediately changed his mind and summoned Ji Du immediately.

"I have seen the King of Wu, but I haven't seen him for many days. The King of Wu is still as handsome as ever...!"

Look at what he said, Wu Zheng was uncomfortable all over. When did this guy learn to speak in a vague manner?

"You are pretty good too... It seems that our army is at the city, but it still makes you unable to sleep." Wu Zheng said calmly, and it was considered a cold deal.

Ji Du suddenly solemnly fought for Wu, "When the King of Wu explained Ji Du's kindness, Ji Du never dared to forget it for a day."

Wu Zheng was a little surprised and waved his hand and said, "If you have something to say... I am busy with military affairs."

Ji Du immediately changed his face and said with a smile: "My father specially sent me to negotiate with the King of Wu this time, just to establish a relationship with the King of Wu."

Wu Zheng frowned slightly and became impatient.

Ji Du hurriedly said, "Talk about serious business, that's what it means... My father hopes that the King of Wu can stop the attack on the north..."

Wu Zheng showed a hint of sneer and interrupted without hesitation: "Why... you are so angry!"

Unexpectedly, Ji Du completely ignored Wu Zheng's teasing and said with a smile: "If the King of Wu was replaced by more than twenty prefectures in the northwest, he would have stopped attacking the north, and I think this business would be possible!"

Wu Zheng's heart was shocked. It seemed that the other party was indeed prepared, but he said, "Northwest? Gu Zhen suspected that your father was confused... Is there any part in the Qing court speaking in the northwest?"

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng lazily leaned to the side of the chair, "Don't tell me that at this time, the Qing army in Shanxi and northern Shaanxi, which is less than 50,000 yuan, can also compete with the Japanese."

Ji Du still smiled, but his words were sharp, "It seems that the King of Wu may not know that King of Pingxi Wu Sangui has sent someone to meet my father... Wu Sangui intends to join hands with our dynasty!"

Wu Zheng was shocked. He received a secret report from Changlin Guard and Li Dingguo earlier. He learned that Li Dingguo pacified the northwest and suffered a setback in the first battle with Wu Sangui, but he still did not expect that under such a situation, Wu Sangui did not surrender, but instead wanted to reconcile with the Qing court to fight and delay his Northern Expedition.

Logically speaking, Wu Sangui's actions are like seeking death, which is a crime that is a crime.

But on the other hand, it is reasonable to know that you cannot get pardon and fight to the death.

This is like when the Three Kingdoms were in power, Liu Bei joined forces with Sun Quan to fight against Cao Cao.

Pooh!

Wu Zheng secretly spat in his heart, and he could not compare himself to Cao A-man.

But in this way, the situation in the northwest will be unclear and may even undergo a complete reversal.

You should know that Wu Sangui's main force has not been lost. Once he becomes a united with the Qing army alliance in northern Shaanxi and Shanxi, the more than 30,000 Western Army of Li Dingguo would probably not be able to hold on. Even if Li Guo's Guangxin Guard is added, the gap between the two sides is still huge.

Wu Zheng looked at Ji Du, who looked humble and charming, and slowly gathered up his thoughts of growing grass.

"This condition... is not tempting enough, not enough to make me give up attacking Shuntian Mansion, nor is it enough to exchange for hundreds of thousands of people's lives in Shuntian Mansion!" Wu Zheng said happily, "According to your father's mind, there should be some subsequent text... all of them are revealed!"

Jidu laughed, "My father is right, the King of Wu is indeed very thoughtful... Yes, my father did think that the King of Wu would refuse, so my father said that if the King of Wu refused to stop the attack on the north, he could at least temporarily stop the attack on the north."

"For the time being?" King Wu was a little confused, but after his thoughts were turned, he suddenly said, "Your father also wants to learn Fulin, apply oil to the soles of his feet... is it a good time to escape?"

Wu Zheng's face relaxed and waved his hand, "If you want to escape from the barrier... you have to exchange for more conditions, at least... I am not interested yet!"

"What if... Wu Sangui sends troops to deploy?" Ji Du smiled mysteriously, "The King of Wu should know that Wu Sangui is already anxious because of the military force of King Wu and Li Dingguo. If our dynasty wants to know Wu Sangui's march route, it is easy for us to get back on our hands."

Wu Zheng's face changed drastically. This temptation was too great for him.

To be precise, if you can know Wu Sangui's march route, send troops to set up an ambush, and easily annihilate Wu Sangui's main force, then there is no more way to stop Li Dingguo's army in the northwest, and the pacification of the northwest is just around the corner!

However, the exchange needs to be exchanged with stopping the Northern Expedition, which made Wu Zheng a little embarrassed.

From the bottom of my heart, Wu Zheng was unwilling to do so.

After six or seven years of expectation, there is only one shot left. How can you let go easily?

"I am still a little moved by this condition... but I don't think it's enough to nod my head to agree!" Wu Zheng was a little arrogant, but this was not inconsistent. Wu Zheng never admitted that he was a gentleman.

A gentleman can deceive him with a way, so why should he give the enemy a false reputation?

"Prince Zheng is so scheming!" Wu Zheng sighed, "Take Wu Sangui's life to exchange for the lives of his clan's people... Tsk tsk, it turns out that it's true that a fellow Taoist is dead, I'm not dead!"
