The emperor's group chat begins with a song called Wanjiang as a gift to Qin Shihuang

"Oh, got it, back off."

Zhu Youjian said calmly.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Chongshan is Yuan Chonghuan's younger brother, should we send an army to rescue him?"

Zhu Yu asked.

After all, Yuan Chonghuan is currently stationed in Ningyuan, and he can be regarded as a general of the town. If something happens to his younger brother in Shuntian, the consequences will be disastrous.

With a calm face, Zhu Youjian looked at He Changtong next to him.

"He Changtong, what do you think?"

Zhu Youjian asked.

This is his technique of balance, the two Yuan brothers cannot grow stronger.

Otherwise, the Yuan family's power might overwhelm the master and affect their own dominance.

This is a balancing act that every emperor needs to consider.

And Zhu Youjian also knew that He Changtong had disliked Yuan Chongshan a long time ago, so he just asked He Changtong to make up his mind and see what he could come up with.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Chongshan's departure from the army is unfavorable, and it will damage our Ming army's prestige. According to the law, he should be executed."

He Changtong made it worse.

"However, Yuan Aiqing and Ning Yuan won a great victory, his younger brother, we have to save him."

Zhu Youjian said pretending to be embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, the state owns the law of the state. Yuan Chonghuan is indeed a good talent, but his younger brother is a useless talent. I hope that His Majesty will clearly reward and punish him."

He Changtong had already thought of a countermeasure.

"Hmm! Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any other opinions?"

Zhu Youjian asked.

"Your Majesty, I think, after all, Yuan Chongshan is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, so he must be saved."

Bi Maokang stood up.

He is now the grand master of the Ming Dynasty, so his words still carry a lot of weight.

"The law of the country is not merciful! I really want to save people, but we don't have cavalry now, who will save them?"

"Will the person who went to rescue be arrested by Huang Taiji again?"

Zhu Youjian deliberately made difficult problems for the generals.

Whoever dares to ask questions will be sent to rescue.

Sure enough, the room became much quieter, and no one dared to speak.

"Your Majesty, I think Yuan Chongshan must be saved, otherwise."

Bi Maokang wanted to say something, but was pulled back by Zhu Yu.

As a relative of the Zhu family, he can naturally understand Zhu Youjian's thoughts. The emperor does not want the Yuan family to be too powerful and affect his rule.

Because Bi Maokang is a researcher, he has no idea about politics.

"Then that's it. Send an envoy to find Huang Taiji and discuss the conditions. How can you release Yuan Chongshan?"

Zhu Youjian waved his hand casually.

"Your Majesty, who are you going to ask to handle this matter?"

Zhu Yu asked.

"Uh, He Changtong, I order you to handle this matter with full authority."

Zhu Youjian chicken thief said.

He Changtong had a dispute with Yuan Chongshan recently, and letting him handle the matter would allow Yuan Chongshan to stay in the Qing army camp permanently.

Anyway, this guy has no ability, and he doesn't have the core military secrets, so he doesn't matter at all.

"According to the order."

He Changtong took the order to thank you.

After leaving the commander's residence, He Changtong's mind became active.

His Majesty asked himself to rescue Yuan Chongshan. Doesn't it make Yuan Chongshan die?

Well, then he fulfilled the emperor's wishes.

"Chen Qing, His Majesty specially asked me to take charge of the rescue of Yuan Chongshan."

"It's up to you to negotiate with Huang Taiji. Remember, you must do everything you can to rescue General Yuan."

He Changtong looked at his general.

Among his subordinates, Yuan Chongshan was the most threatening to him. Who told him to have a good brother?

The second is this Chen Qing, who not only has unstoppable courage, but also has a very high prestige in the army.

In fact, what he thought in his heart was that if the Qing army could take the opportunity to detain Chen Qing, it would be a blessing, and it would not affect his position in the army.

It's sad to say that after the late Ming Dynasty, laymen in foreign wars and experts in civil wars used all their methods on their own people, regardless of the fact that the Qing army had already reached their doorstep.

"How should we negotiate?"

Chen Qing asked.

"It's simple. Your Majesty has left this matter to me, so in terms of negotiation, you have to try your best to show sincerity."

"Be sure to exchange General Yuan back, no matter how much the Qing army bids."

"However, you have to be clear, my Ming Dynasty's treasury is not rich now!!! I have to fight a protracted war with the Qing army."

"This dozen may last more than ten years. I'm afraid that the country's finances will not be able to support it."

He Changtong said.

Chen Qing: ...

What the hell, there is something in your words! ! !You should make it clear, how much should you pay to redeem Yuan Chongshan?

"Marshal, the general doesn't understand."

Chen Qing is straightforward, and she always asks questions.

"Don't you understand? Your responsibility is to redeem Yuan Chongshan."

"But there is a premise that we don't have much money in Ming Dynasty, and we may have to fight wars for decades in the future."

"Understand?"

After He Changtong finished speaking, he shook his hands and left, leaving Chen Qing to deal with it.

"What the hell is going on!!!"

Chen Qing also flicked his sleeves and walked out of Changping City.

Zhu Youjian is in a good mood. He knows that the sled dogs still have some combat effectiveness, but they lack training.

The most important thing is that Huang Taiji's army now has no food and grass supply, and they will return home after less than a month in Shuntian.

This time Huang Taiji sent a full 50 troops south, but only 20 remained.

And the severe winter is coming, I am afraid that more than half of the 20 Qing troops will freeze and starve to death.

At that time, the Qing army will not be able to go south for at least ten years.

Therefore, he must plan ahead and use the last time to eliminate some hidden dangers.

Huang Taiji has already arrived in Luanzhou City.

Chapter 354 The Prophecy of the Great Wizard

When he entered the customs with a million Qing troops, the city of Luanzhou could no longer be guarded, so Zhu Youjian transferred all his troops back to Shuntian.

At this time, Luanzhou City not only had no food, but also no military strength.

The defenders of the city are also government servants with iron rulers and iron chains.

"It's not good, the Qing army is here."

An old government servant was wrapped in a thick quilt, standing on the city wall and shouting.

The other yamen servants immediately beat the drums.

With a sound of thud-thump-thump, the common people stood on the street carrying the stove, all of them were sallow and emaciated when they were hungry, and shivered when they were cold.

When the Qing army entered the customs, Zhu Youjian gathered all the food for hundreds of miles to Shuntian and Changping, and the army also brought it there.

Only less than a month's rations were left for the people.

The people in the city went to dig wild vegetables and roots when they had nothing to do.

I was really hungry and panicked, so I grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into my mouth.

At this time, the sound of iron chains shaking resounded on the street.

More than 30 yamen servants ran towards the city gate, their faces full of joy.

"Great, the Qing army is here, we can surrender, at least the Qing army will give us something to eat."

An old yamen servant shouted happily.

The faces of the people were expressionless, and they seemed to be numb. They couldn't tell the difference between good and bad, and they didn't know who was good and who was bad.

Huang Taiji nodded to Kong Youde beside him.

Kong Youde immediately stepped forward and shouted at the city wall.

"Let your governor speak up. After surrender, our Qing army treats the prisoners preferentially, and it's okay..."

Before Kong Youde finished yelling, the gate creaked open.

"This?"
