Han Chaoxuan was ordered to come to the south bank to meet with He Tengjiao to discuss the exchange of corpses and prisoners, and the Ming army got the exact news that Yuan Zongdi and Wu Yishan were really killed in battle, Wu Yi set himself on fire in the palace, and there were thousands of Ming prisoners in the hands of the Jin army.

He Tengjiao had already agreed to the exchange, but the Jin side added the need to exchange for Wu Sangui's second son and the conditions for a truce with the Ming army, but He Tengjiao couldn't make up his mind.

The idea of the exchange was made by Li Dingguo, but his official position was too low, so he only had the right to make suggestions, and the specific negotiation and decision-making still depended on a senior party like He Tengjiao.

In the Chongqing Mansion, He Tengjiao sat with Fan Yixuan and others, discussing the conditions proposed by Han Chaoxuan and the willingness of Jin Guo to cease war.

Seeing He Tengjiao's hesitation, Zhang Tongchang, the Guizhou envoy of the Chu Party's He Tengjiao, got up and said: "Pavilion Elder, the lower officials think that this matter is easy to decide, as long as we do a little, our southwest officialdom will be able to give an explanation to the imperial court." ”

Zhang Tongchang is Zhang Juzheng's descendant, after the famous family, He Tengjiao heard him say this, and was very interested, "Don't think what to do!" ”

Zhang Tongchang arched his hand, "The lower officials think that the decision we make is fine as long as it is in line with the current interests of the imperial court." The lower officials thought that our goal now was to stabilize the front line in Chongqing, accept the exchange, and there was nothing wrong with verbally guaranteeing the return of Wu Yinglin, which would buy us time to stabilize the Jiangfang. Now the imperial court is still unclear about the situation in the southwest, and we can't know what specific decisions will be made, so as long as we don't help the imperial court make decisions, this exchange, or even a truce, will not leave anything in writing, just a verbal agreement with the Jin State, and will not tie the hands and feet of the imperial court, we can do it at once. After all, this can also be exchanged for more than 1,000 soldiers, no matter how you look at it, we have more interests. ”

Fan Yixuan listened, nodded, and also said: "I agree with Lord Zhang's opinion, after the first battle in eastern Sichuan, we also need to rest, Haoge wants to fight with the western thieves in southern Sichuan, we might as well simply do what he wants, withdraw out, and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight." ”

Fan Yixuan paused, and added: "But we can't sit idly by and ignore the situation in Sichuan, we must always be prepared when we are watching the tiger fight on the mountain, and we can't let Haoge and the Western Thief, either side have the absolute upper hand, whoever is weak, we will secretly help whoever is weak, and let them fight, until we recover our strength and re-intervene in Sichuan according to the decision of the imperial court." ”

He Tengjiao heard what they said, and his heart was basically settled, he wanted to stabilize Chongqing without losing, which was the most important thing at the moment, and the Jin army didn't want to fight, which was a move in the middle of the matter.

"Okay, this is a matter that the governor knows what to do!" He Tengjiao bowed his head slightly and accepted everyone's suggestions.

At that moment, He Tengjiao asked Han Chaoxuan to come over to talk and agreed to the exchange, but he did not guarantee that the imperial court would return Wu Yinglin, after all, this person was not in the southwest, but was under house arrest in Nanjing, as for the truce, He Tengjiao did not give an exact answer, but revealed that the Ming army also needed to rest.

This is enough for Han Chaoxuan, and he is not naïve to think that when he meets He Tengjiao, he can make the two countries shake hands and make peace, forgetting the previous unpleasantness.

After Haoge's sneak attack on Sichuan, Xi'an has expelled the Ming Dynasty envoy Jinbao, who had been under house arrest for more than a month, and the communication channel between the two governments is equivalent to being completely cut off.

The ROK and the DPRK have announced that they have established a channel, and their goal has been achieved, and whether or not the two countries can reach peace talks again depends on how the situation develops in the future.

After the two sides reached a preliminary verbal agreement, Jin Guowei expressed his sincerity and took the initiative to return the corpses of Yuan Zongdi, Wu Yishan and others.

He Tengjiao and others immediately held a big funeral in Chongqing, and allocated silver to build an ancestral hall, reported to the imperial court to ask for a name, and enshrined the tablet in the ancestral hall of the martyrs.

More than 1,000 Ming soldiers were also released by the Jin army, He Tengjiao sent someone to ferry, Jiang Tianyi stood at the ferry, tears flowed, there were still many old people who did not die in battle, such as Yu Youming, the son of Yu Shizhong, the former commander of the Fengjie battalion, was carried across the river.

After the Ming army finished doing this, they also returned the corpses of Ao Bai and Zhuo Butai to the Jin army as agreed, and at this time Haoge had already led the main force back to Chongqing, preparing to fight for southern Sichuan.

The two sides of the Ming and Jin, because of their own reasons, formed a confrontation situation in eastern Sichuan, the two sides took the Yangtze River as the boundary, although there were small conflicts from time to time, and the front was not peaceful, but there was no major war again.

At the end of December, it was supposed to be the time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, enjoy the fruits of the year, and have a good New Year, but the tense situation in the southwest made it impossible for the three parties to celebrate the New Year with peace of mind.

Needless to say, Haoge and Sun Kewang have already fought in southern Sichuan, but because Haoge lost more than 25,000 people in eastern Sichuan, the Ming army contained 30,000 gold troops in eastern Sichuan, and He Tengjiao made a hindrance from it, so that Sun Kewang exchanged Pucha in Yunnan and well salt in southern Sichuan for some Ming army weapons, so that Haoge did not have much advantage in the face of Sun Kewang.

Haoge and Sun Kewang obviously can't celebrate the New Year, and the Ming army is also busy.

Sun Kewang's judgment was not wrong, and after nearly three months of changes in the southwest, the Ming Dynasty finally completed the redeployment of troops.

Hao Shaoqi's troops stationed in Shangyong, threatening Hanzhong, Wang Yuncheng's troops stationed in Jingzhou, guarding against the direction of the Three Gorges, Sun Shoufa's troops were transferred to Nanyang and Dai Zhifan to defend the enemy in Henan, Liu Shun was stationed in Yangzhou, Zhang Mingzhen was stationed in Huai'an, Li Guo was stationed in Hefei City, which was voluntarily abandoned by the Qing army, and the finished glyph arrangement of the three towns was arranged to defend Huainan, and the Gao Yigong Department continued to garrison Nanjing, while Houyong Town, which was stationed in Hunan, entered Guizhou in mid-December, and Ma Jinzhongbu of Hubei, followed by the Ministry of Hubei, also arrived in Guiyang City at the end of December.

This time, the Ming army made a big adjustment to the deployment of troops, if you count the previous Wang Deren Department, the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to 90,000 troops to the southwest, so Zhang Xianzhen's threat to Sun Kewang is not need-to-say, a small country provokes a big country, and he has to beat his out.

For the change in the deployment of Ming troops, the Manchu spies naturally reported to Dolgon in Beijing, and at the same time, Haoge broke through Hezhou, killed Yuan Zongdi and more than 20,000 Ming troops, and the news that Ao Bai was ambushed by the Ming army also reached Beijing at the same time.

After hearing this, Dolgon was immediately overjoyed, and he made a bitter plan, assassinated his own messenger, and instigated Haoge to start a war against Nanming, which really made the strategic center of Nanming shift, so that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, Mingjin became a loser, and he became the only beneficiary of Jin's destruction of the treaty and attack Sichuan.
