Huang Taiji stood up straight from his seat. He was so surprised that he was speechless. He opened his eyes desperately to see if he had made a mistake, but there was no mistaking the person's tall figure. At this time, the visitor had taken off his helmet, held it in his arms, and smiled at Huang Taiji: "Sibeile, aren't you going to invite me to sit down?" Huang Taiji looked at the Ming envoy again and quickly suppressed his shock. His face returned to its usual calmness. "Please sit down." Huang Taiji stretched out his arm towards a chair forcefully and then commanded loudly and confidently: "Serve tea." After the visitor sat down, Huang Taiji slowly sat back in his chair. The superior sighed: "Huang Shuai is so brave! Huang Shuai is here in Liaoyang today. I wonder if you have any advice?" "In recent days, Sibeile has found a wife and eldest brother for me, and has also taken care of my betrothed wife and a pair of concubines. I came to Liaoyang this time specifically to say thank you to Sibeile." Huang Taiji laughed a few times and waved everyone around him out. When everyone exited the camp, Huang Shi also looked towards the door. From the corner of his eye, he noticed that Huang Taiji seemed to glance at his sword quickly. But it was just a glance. When Huang Shi turned his gaze back, Huang Taiji returned to his usual unfazed manner and placed his hands leisurely on the table. Seeing that Huang Shi's attention had turned back, Huang Taiji gently cupped his hands and made an apologetic gesture: "I really had to do what happened recently. But Huang Shuai, a man who is more intelligent than powerful, must understand my difficulties." " Si Beile, let me open the skylight and speak openly." Now that the followers have withdrawn from Huangshi, he pretended to have no scruples: "Last time, Si Beile asked the envoy to bring a message to me, saying that Jianzhou Guards was willing to accept the transfer. The news took too long. I was worried that just letting the messenger convey the message would cause misunderstanding, so I came here in person to talk to Sibeile in detail. " "Yes, what Huang Shuai said is good. Jianzhou has been willing to plead with the imperial court for a long time, but" Huang. Taiji dragged out the last word for a long time and added a slightly harsh tone in his tone: "But I heard that Huang Shuai kidnapped my envoy to Beijing. I wonder if this is the case?" "At that time, I didn't know that Jianzhou Wei Zuo was in charge. I asked Baylor if you were sincere in accepting the offer, so I sent the envoy to the capital for questioning." Huang Shi took a leisurely sip of tea as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did at that time: "I already believe it. Si Beile showed his sincerity, so he came to discuss the recruitment issue with Si Beile. Isn't Si Beile still dissatisfied? " Huang Taiji stared at Huang Shi for more than five years, but the time passed by in front of him. But it made him increasingly confused. Huang Taiji remembered that this Huang Shi was obviously a man without integrity. He would not even blink an eyelid when he betrayed others for his own life, but in the blink of an eye he left his wealth and returned to the Ming Dynasty. Huang Taiji also guessed Huang Shi¡¯s psychology from another angle. For example, Huang Shi might not be optimistic about Hou Jin¡¯s potential. I think it would be more long-term to sell Hou Jin and join the Ming Dynasty, but this cannot explain why Huang Shi went to find Mao Wenlong. No matter how he looked at it, he had a better future in western Liaoning. As long as Huang Shi got to Shanhaiguan, he could exchange military honors for a lot of money and status. From the thousand-mile expedition in western Liaoning to Lushun and Huangshi, what Huang Taiji did after that seemed to be the work of a hero. If a general with little military experience or talent is led to Liaodong to struggle, it will be a narrow escape. Huang Taiji didn't know the military history knowledge Huang Shi relied on. Although he admitted that Huang Shi's army was very powerful, he still felt that Huang Shi's actions back then were so brave that they were almost naive. But then again. For such a brave "loyal minister", his life experience is all fake. Huang Taiji knew clearly that Huang Shi was definitely not from Liaodong. He was already the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and his ancestors would have been wiped out unless it was a serious crime of treason. But Huang Shi wanted to lie about this inconsequential issue, which further showed that his life experience was suspicious. The most disgusting thing is that Huang Taiji found that he still had no way to expose this lie. As the massacrers of Kaiyuan, even if they told the truth, no one would believe it. When Huang Taiji stared at him, Huang Shi still looked nonchalant. As a thorough realist, what Huang Shi is best at is putting aside emotions to look at problems. A weak regime eager to break the strategic encirclement situation would not dare to kill the negotiator. Huang Shi was convinced that Huang Taiji was also a person who was not easily influenced by emotions, so he felt that his life safety was not a big problem. In addition, Huangshi also remembered the difference between the Battle of Fuzhou and the pursuit of Lianshan. During the Battle of Fuzhou, Huang Taiji did his best to prevent the Changsheng Army from returning to the city at the cost of thousands of troops, and he seemed to be prepared for a desperate night battle; while in Lianshan and Huangshi During the confrontation, Huang Taiji seemed reluctant to take the risk and charge. Based on his past experience with Huang Taiji, Huang Shi is convinced that his opponent does not value his own life very much.But he is deeply afraid of the Immortal Army behind him. From a certain point of view, Huang Taiji's view is not wrong. All of Huangshi's power comes from the Changsheng Army. His personal military ability is really not very commendable. The destruction of Huangshi was at most a bad breath for Huang Taiji, but as long as the Changsheng Army was still there, even if Huangshi was cut into pieces, it would not eliminate the threat to Liaonan. Judging from Huangshi's performance in the Battle of Fuzhou, Huang Taiji believed that the Changsheng Army would become even more terrifying if it were in the hands of Mao Wenlong, Chen Jisheng or other Dongjiang generals. After Huang Shi finished drinking the tea, he directly asked for more water, saying that it was a hard journey to Liaoyang and now he was very thirsty. Huang Taiji calmly asked someone to bring Huang Shi a pot of tea and a plate of fruits. Huang Shi honestly grabbed a pear and started eating. "Huang Shuai, I don't want to talk in circles with you anymore." Huang Taiji finally admitted that he couldn't understand what Huang Shi was thinking about. He said with a wry smile that gave in to defeat: "Huang Shuai has always been a resolute leader and will not give up until we drive out all of Jianzhou. Now if Huang Shuai wants me to believe you, Huang Shuai better tell me what kind of abacus you have." " Huang Shi put the pear core back on the plate and picked up the towel beside the plate and wiped his mouth: "Sibeile, your rumors are very useful. I have been transferred soon. I will be sure about my betrothed wife this time. I'm going to the capital to take some time off." "Thank you, Marshal Huang." "I guess the reason why Sibeile and the governor of Liaodong have such a tacit understanding is just to get rid of me, the main war faction, and then the two of you can start negotiating. There are no small benefits. From now on, Baylor can live a life without fear. The governor of Liaodong has made great achievements in regaining the entire Liao Dynasty. It cost the country tens of millions of taels and took ten years to do something that was really amazing. He did it while talking and laughing. Ah." Seeing Huang Taiji, he just smiled but said nothing. Huang Shi coughed and said loudly: "Sibeile, instead of giving this credit to the governor of Liaodong, why not give it to me? We have been acquaintances for many years. And I can pat my chest and say: What I said is very important in the Ming Dynasty." Definitely more important than the governor of Liaodong. If I suggested recruiting people, the emperor would think carefully about it. Do you believe it or not?" Huang Taiji thought about Huang Shi's words for a while and tried to tell himself: He is the person who is in charge of war or peace. All for their own wealth and future. In the past, Huangshi thought he was sure to drive out Houjin. So he insisted on taking the lead because these were rare military achievements; but now Huang Shi saw that he was about to be marginalized, so he rushed to take over and refused to be taken advantage of by Yuan Chonghuan. This idea coincides with Huang Taiji¡¯s judgment of Huangshi. He was very convinced that Huangshi was not a blood feud between Liaodong and Houjin. It's not entirely unreasonable that Huang Shi came to fight on his own. He said he was doing it for wealth. Huang Taiji pretended to believe and nodded: "Huang Shuai is of course true to his word. There is nothing I don't believe in this." "Okay, then I will start talking." Huang Shi smiled and clapped his hands. In this era, there were no nation-states yet, let alone the rise of nationalism. Zhongliang's spiritual pillars were all "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism." Huang Shi didn't have much of this emotion. Huang Shi knew it himself, and he also knew that Huang Taiji, who was opposite him, also knew it in his heart. "I think your army has been defeated in the war in Liaodong. All that's left is just a matter of time, that is, sooner or later it will be destroyed. I wonder if Sibeile agrees?" After saying these outrageous words, Huang Shi stared at Huang Shi closely. Tai Chi's eyes. Huang Taiji's face didn't change much, he just laughed twice: "Huang Shuai is so courageous to come here alone in Liaoyang, but his words are so rude." Huang Shi also smiled and said: "I am a brave general, and I have five thousand people from Changsheng Island. The elite soldiers are naturally a little more courageous. "There is still a big gap between the number of five thousand and what Huang Taiji knows. After the Battle of Juehua, Huang Taiji soon discovered that the combat effectiveness of the Selected Front Battalion was not weaker than that of the Fire Fighting Battalion. The recent figures he obtained were that Huang Shigang had expanded his troops to about 10,000 people. But at this time, there is no need to let other people's ambitions destroy their own majesty. Huang Taiji said coldly: "Ming Dynasty Du Song and others also have thousands of elite soldiers, but in the end they were not wiped out by me, Dajin. Huang Shuai is so proud and complacent." I fear that you will lose your general demeanor. " "Since the outcome is unknown, the four Baylors can be pushed out to kill such a noble army. If everyone knows that there is no way to retreat, the morale will be greatly improved, and the millions of people can be used to pay tribute to the noble army. Why not kill two birds with one stone and get four Baylors? "Although there is little hope for peace talks at the moment, the governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty has been actively taking action, and the Ming Dynasty's annual military expenditure in Liaodong is as high as millions. Tomorrow¡¯s son may not be willing to spend money to buy peace. But as Huang Shi said, once Huang Taiji beheaded him, the Ming court would be furious and all hopes for peace talks would be cut off. Killing Huang Shi is to seal everyone's mouths for Ming Dynasty, so that all those who have peace of mind in their hearts can no longer say this. It is true that our own morale may be high because there is no way to retreat, but the Han army may not be so, and the Mongolians on both ends of the rat will not come to seek refuge. In addition, Huang Taiji also knew that Huang Shi had a long-lasting military spirit. Whether it is the previous battles with the Changsheng Army or the intelligence coming from Changsheng Island, it shows that hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in southern Liaoning regard Huang Shi as their reborn parent. If such a person died in his own hands, Huang Taiji didn't need to think too much to know what kind of anger he would face. Just as Mang Gurtai said when he captured the Zhao sisters, unless you have an overwhelming advantage on the battlefield, it is best not to do things too badly. "There is no sure-win battle in a dangerous war. We are indeed at a disadvantage for a moment, but Huang Shuai is definitely not a sure winner. Otherwise, why would Huang Shuai take the risk to come to Liaoyang and insist on recruiting me?" Huang Taiji thought hard for a long time. In the end, I decided to keep this issue vague and no longer discuss strategic trends. Unexpectedly, Huang Shi was still unwilling to let him go. He burst out laughing when he heard the words, which made Huang Taiji feel as unhappy as he wanted. However, he would not show an angry look to make the other party happy, nor would he make fun of him and say: " Why is Huang Shuai laughing? "In fact, Huang Shi was not entirely laughing at Huang Taiji for being fat. The main reason was because he heard Huang Taiji say the words "war is dangerous and the war is dangerous" and these words came out of this man's mouth. It really makes Huang Shi feel very ridiculous. After laughing for a while, Huang Shi himself stopped. He said to Huang Taiji again: "Basically, I am not willing to recruit Sibeile. Although we have to fight for another five or six years, the Ming Dynasty pays for the war anyway." . It¡¯s probably not me who will die. There¡¯s nothing I can¡¯t afford in Huangshi. But now that someone in the court is trying to recruit someone, I naturally won¡¯t make a wedding dress for others. The so-called wealth comes from danger. I think Sibeile and I. An acquaintance can be regarded as an old friendship. You won't turn your back and deny the person. " Huang Taiji couldn't think of any other reason for Huang Shi to come to Liaoyang except for this reason. First, he forced Miss Sun to death, and later abandoned the Zhao sisters on the battlefield. If Huang Shi would risk his life for a woman, Huang Taiji would be the first to not believe it. The current trouble in Huangshi is that he will be transferred away from Liaodong. Huang Taiji felt that it was possible for this person to come to Liaoyang for his own future. He knew that Huang Shi was always bold and bold, not to mention the detailed work he did in Liaoyang. In the past five years, people who didn't have the courage to draw their swords and take the lead several times have developed courage. "What conditions does Huang Shuai plan to give us for recruitment?" Huang Shi took out a pre-written document from his arms, walked over and handed it to Huang Taiji, who also stood up and took it with both hands. Huang Shi walked back to his seat and sat down to eat jujubes. These jujubes were big, sweet, plump and juicy. Huang Shi's mouth was filled with jujubes. Huang Taiji had already opened the document and started reading it. "Remove braids, change clothes, change surnames, send sons as hostages, withdraw from the border wall, release Han people, turn in weapons" Huang Taiji glanced at it for a few times before sighing and raising his head, and at the same time he slowly closed the document: "Huang Shuai, these terms are not for us to surrender, but for us to surrender." "We must use these terms, otherwise you have fought for ten years and robbed so many gold and silver children. If Ming Dynasty gives you a generous terms, wouldn't it encourage the Mongolian ministries to attack us? Ming Dynasty?" Huang Shi explained to Huang Taiji: "Besides, there are many knowledgeable people in the court. If I set a generous clause for you, I will definitely be scolded as soon as I come up with it and it will never be approved." Huang Taiji was silent. Without a word, he lowered his head and reopened the closed document and looked at it carefully again. There were a large number of clauses and details at the back that limited the specific execution time. After a long time, Huang Taiji finally raised his head again: "Huang Shuai's terms are too harsh." "You can only fight with Sibeile if you can fight, right?" As soon as Huang Shi spoke, he heard the voice from the other side. A sneer. Huang Taiji leaned heavily on the back of the chair and pushed the terms on the table forward with both hands: "Now I can chop you into pieces, Marshal Huang, with just one order. The Ming Dynasty may send an incompetent person." When I come to Liaonan, I can defeat the entire Changsheng Army." "I admit it's a possibility," Huang Shi agreed vaguely and nodded in agreement, waiting for all the date seeds in his mouth. After spitting it out and swallowing all the jujube meat, he cleared his throat and said loudly: "But Sibeile, the Ming Dynasty may also send a mediocre general, Marshal Mao, or he may take this army as his personal leader. I think it will be expensive within five years." The army will probably turn into powder." Huang Taiji sneered again: "Even so, I will die five years later than Huang Shuai." "If the Liao Dynasty can be determined in one year, who would be willing to come. What about recruiting Guijun?The Liao Dynasty may drag on for another five or six years, and it will cost three million Liao soldiers every year to have room for recruitment. " Huang Taiji reached out and grabbed the clause, raised it and glanced at it again: "Then what does Huang Shuai want to do? Everything written above is about our terms and conditions, Huang Shuai, but you didn't mention a word about them. " "I can only try my best to restrain my subordinates and hope that they will not seek revenge on Si Beile. But don't worry, Si Beile. I am the hereditary commander of the Liaodong capital. Si Beile and my descendants will be neighbors for a long time. It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. I will definitely not Will stir up trouble first. "
