Wu Sangui unexpectedly left the base camp of Huang Taiji safely, and with full doubts, he quickly moved towards the base camp of the Dongjiang Army. After running non-stop for two days, Wu Sangui arrived at the camp of the Dongjiang Army physically and mentally exhausted.

Cheng Zuo was quite surprised to learn that Wu Sangui came back, logically speaking, even if Wu Sangui is not dead at this moment, it should be imprisoned by Huang Taiji to be commonsense? Although he suspected that Wu Sangui had another purpose for this trip, it could be seen that Wu Sangui had returned safely, and Chengzuo was still happy for him.

In the coach's tent, Chengzuo and Chen Jisheng met with the exhausted Wu Sangui.

"Did Lord Wu escape?" Chengzuo did not hide his thoughts, and clearly showed the confusion in his heart.

Shaking his head, Wu Sangui poured a few sips of tea before panting and said, "It was Huang Taiji himself who let me go, but I had to do something for him and bring some words to inform the two generals." ”

"Oh, what's that?" Cheng Zuo said suddenly.

"Huang Taiji asked me to inform the two generals that he wanted to negotiate peace with the Dongjiang Army." After speaking, Wu Sangui took out the envelope handed to him by Huang Taiji from his arms and handed it directly to Cheng Zuo.

Cheng Zuo was still suspicious at the moment, he paused for a moment before taking the envelope, and after glancing at Chen Jisheng, he opened the envelope and looked.

There was not much content in the letter, Cheng Zuo just glanced at it quickly, and then threw the letter on the coffee table next to him and was silent. Chen Jisheng looked inexplicable, and opened his mouth to ask, "What did Huang Taiji say?" ”

Cheng Zuo raised his eyes and said: "He said that if we continue to fight, we will only lose both, and he said that he wants to negotiate peace with us, and he hopes that we will consider it carefully." ”

Chen Jisheng snorted after hearing this, and said disdainfully: "What to discuss, let's fight directly, Huang Taiji must be afraid." ”

Cheng Zuo glanced at Chen Jisheng in distress, ignored him, turned to look at Wu Sangui, and said lightly: "Does the prince know what kind of spiritual outlook Jin Bing is today?" ”

Obviously, Cheng Zuo is doubting the integrity of Huang Taiji's peace negotiation at the moment, after all, according to the current situation, no matter what aspect of the argument, Huang Taiji has the upper hand. Under such circumstances, Huang Taiji suddenly proposed peace, is it doubtful?

Wu Sangui frowned and pondered after hearing this, and only after a long time did he hesitate to say: "As far as this king knows, Jin Bing does not have any fearful emotions. And Huang Taiji did not show anxiety, but gave me the feeling that he was holding Zhizhu. ”

Cheng Zuo nodded, and at this moment he was more sure of his guess. Then he arranged for Wu Sangui to go down to rest, and he immediately wrote to Mao Wenlong again to inform Mao Wenlong of this matter, asking for his conclusion.

After spending three days quietly, Chengzuo did not wait for Mao Wenlong's reply, but unexpectedly waited for Mao Wenlong himself. He was accompanied by 3,000 soldiers and horses, and 20 hot air balloons.

Cheng Zuo, Chen Jisheng and Wu Sangui heard that Mao Wenlong was coming, and hurried to the outside of the camp to greet them. After leading Mao Wenlong to the handsome tent, Cheng Zuo carefully explained the current situation to Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong snorted coldly and said: "I have already analyzed this matter, Huang Taiji is not sincere in negotiating peace, he is just delaying time." Based on the giant crossbows you've found earlier, it's likely that Huang Taiji is now in need of time to build more of these things. ”

Cheng Zuo nodded frequently in agreement after hearing this, he also considered this way at the beginning, but for the sake of safety, he had to carefully ask Mao Wenlong for instructions. Now that I know that Mao Wenlong is also like this, it means that his idea is correct.

"Chief soldier, then we don't have to pay attention to Huang Taiji." Cheng Zuo said.

"Not only do we need to ignore it, but we need to act now. This time, I came to bring 20 hot air balloons that can fly more than 700 meters in the air, if nothing else, I will definitely be able to surprise Huang Taiji. Mao Wenlong said confidently.

"Chief soldier, when will we set off to attack Huang Taiji?" Chen Jisheng couldn't bear it anymore and immediately got up to inquire.

Mao Wenlong did not respond to Chen Jisheng, but looked at Wu Sangui, who had been sullen: "Does the prince still remember where the base camp of the Jin soldiers is?" ”

Wu Sangui recalled a little, and then said affirmatively: "Yes." ”

Mao Wenlong nodded and said with satisfaction: "We have been delayed for a lot of time, Chengzuo, immediately prepare for the army to start, and set off early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes, Commander!" Everyone immediately clenched their fists and took their lives.

On the same day, the army began to get busy, and immediately set off the next morning, under the guidance of Wu Sangui, towards the base camp of the Jin soldiers in his memory.

The spies who had been sent by Huang Taiji to monitor the Dongjiang Army, after seeing the Dongjiang Army marching, they immediately sent the news to Huang Taiji. Knowing that the Dongjiang Army did not have any intention of making peace, Huang Taiji did not get angry or act excessively.

Not only did Huang Taiji show an indifferent look in the face of the attack of the Dongjiang Army, but even many of his subordinates looked indifferent? In the past ten days or so that the Dongjiang army has been delayed, they have urged those craftsmen to build more than forty giant crossbows. With these things, the hot air balloons of the Dongjiang Army could not pose a threat to them.

Huang Taiji coldly ordered: "Prepare for war!" ”

Two days after the Dongjiang army marched, it had already found the location of the base camp of the Jin soldiers, but at this time, there was an unexpected situation in the army. First of all, Wu Sangui had a severe cold, and after the military doctor diagnosed it, he said that he was infected with wind and cold, and everyone did not pay attention to it.

However, after only half a day, something uncontrollable happened, and more than two dozen soldiers suddenly appeared in the army with the same symptoms as Wu Sangui? Even the doctor who had diagnosed Wu Sangui before was also infected.

When Mao Wenlong learned about it, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and it was obvious that this matter was not so simple. He immediately ordered the army to halt for a moment, and then isolate all those who were showing symptoms.

Mao Wenlong's order was very timely, but by the evening, more than 300 people in the army were still infected. Seeing that the situation was a little uncontrollable, Mao Wenlong ordered again to let Cheng Zuo and Chen Jisheng personally supervise, so that those soldiers who felt a little wrong would automatically enter the isolation place.

The chaos of the Dongjiang Army lasted until midnight, when the infection was stopped, and after Chengzuo's liquidation, it was found that nearly 1,000 people had entered the quarantine area.

The more Mao Wenlong thought about it, the more wrong he became, and called more than 20 military doctors in the army to him, asking them to immediately and thoroughly diagnose those soldiers who were unwell, what kind of disease did they have?

As a result, it wasn't until dawn that Mao Wenlong got the answer from Wu Sangui's death? There is a plague in the army!
