Seeing that he was about to dominate the world, the generals were a little anxious after listening to Gao Yihuan's words.

Gao Yihuan smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I know it." ”

After speaking, Gao Yihuan waved his hand, "You all stand down!" Then he asked Li Laiheng, "Who is the envoy?" ”

Li Lai snorted and hugged his fists, "It's He Tengjiao, a cabinet scholar in Nanjing!" ”

"Lao He!" Gao Yihuan raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect it to be an old acquaintance, so he stood up, "Bring him over, no, I'll go to greet him in person later." ”

Speaking of He Tengjiao, he did Gao Yihuan a great favor at the beginning, if it weren't for him, the Wei army would have been under the attack of the two major forces of Qingming in the early days, and it would have been difficult to hold on for a long time.

It was precisely because of He Tengjiao that Gao Yihuan was able to live in peace with the Southern Ming Dynasty after seizing Jingzhou, Xiangyang, Changde and Yuezhou in northern Hunan Province, and obtained a large amount of resources from Jiangnan through trading for the war against the Qing Dynasty.

It's just that with the growth of Gao Yihuan and the serious threat to Nanjing, He Tengjiao was disgusted by Zhu Cihong and lost his political power, Nanjing did not reuse him, and the Great Wei no longer needed him, so he became a figure standing aside.

This time, Zhu Cihong sent He Teng to come, most likely because he took a fancy to He Tengjiao's relationship with him.

At this time, Gao Yihuan suddenly stopped, and several people who were exiting the big tent, "Zhao Daxian, come here, I have something important to order." ”

Zhao Daxian hurriedly turned around and walked back, "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

Gao Yihuan whispered a few words to him, Zhao Daxian nodded frequently, and then gave up.

In the past few years, He Tengjiao has aged a lot, and his body can no longer support it, and he is wearing a crimson official robe.

At this time, He Tengjiao, accompanied by several Ming soldiers, was looking at the Wei army camp in the wilderness, and saw the flags that were blowing under the river wind, and sighed in his heart.

At the beginning, the cheeky coward who he thought could be used to add points to his politics has now become the son of heaven in the north, which really made him not expect that the change would be so fast.

Behind him, the eyes of several Ming soldiers looked around, observing the Wei army camp and the situation on the bank of the river.

At this time, the horse rejection pile in front of the camp was moved open by the Wei soldiers, and the camp gate was opened by a creak.

Gao Yihuan, who was dressed in a black dragon robe, wearing a crown of golden silk wings, and a bead the size of an egg swaying on his head, held the jade belt around his waist with his hand, and walked out laughing, "Hahaha~ He Gebu, why are you here!" ”

After many years, He Tengjiao saw this round face again, he didn't want Gao Yihuan to have become the emperor, he knew that today, no matter what, he would not be coerced by Gao Yihuan to help Gao Yihuan do things.

There are many officials in the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, similar to Ma Shiying, He Tengjiao and others, who are insiders and outsiders, and are responsible for the demise of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

"He Tengjiao, the envoy of the Great Ming, see Emperor of the Great Wei." He Tengjiao bowed.

The situation is stronger than people, since we have come to seek peace, we must first recognize Gao Yihuan's status, otherwise there is no need to talk about it.

"Hahaha~" Gao Yihuan's face was full of red light, "He Gebu and I are old acquaintances, no need to be polite, come inside, please!" ”

He Tengjiao then went to the big tent with Gao Yihuan and others, and along the way, several entourages behind him, their eyes glanced at each other from time to time, and they saw the Wei soldiers in the camp, who were busy making rafts and boats.

At this time, the group came to the big tent, Gao Yihuan sat behind the imperial case, Chen Mingxia sat with him, and He Tengjiao sat on the right chair.

Gao Yihuan waved his hand, retreated the soldiers who poured tea, and then asked: "He Gebu crossed the river, what is the so-called matter?" ”

He Tengjiao's face was gloomy, and he arched his hand: "In order to protect the people of Jiangnan from the war, I specially came to negotiate peace with Wei. ”

Gao Yihuan smiled slightly: "The land south of the Yangtze River is at your fingertips, why do I want to negotiate peace?" I am an old friend of He Gebu, so why don't He Gebu stay in Jiangbei and serve me? ”

"In my opinion, I'm afraid it's not so easy to get Jiangnan. Although the Wei army won two Huai, it was blocked by the Yangtze River moat, and it was difficult to cross the river for a while. In the land of Jingchu, there are many wars, the Mingxi coalition army has gained an advantage, and the Wei army cannot cross the river here. He Tengjiao said in a deep voice.

Gao Yihuan's face showed an unhappy look, "The defense of the Nanming River is weak, I have already ordered people to prepare ships, and at that time, the army will cross south, and it will be easy to take Nanjing, why can't you cross the river?" ”

"Hmph~ The ships prepared by Wei are those rafts? Although the Daming River defense is affected now, there are sailors, and it is not possible to cross it by raft. He Tengjiao continued: "This battle continues, both sides have no absolute chance of winning, if both sides are defeated, the Wei soldiers are unable to go south, the Ming can still recuperate, and the Wei State will face the attack of the Western Army and Guanwai Jianyi." I hope Wei Guo will think about it! ”

Gao Yihuan's face was gloomy and silent.

He Tengjiao glanced at Gao Yihuan, and didn't speak, waiting for Gao Yihuan's reply.

Gao Yihuan was gloomy for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Nanming wants to negotiate peace, what conditions do you give?" ”

He Tengjiao was overjoyed, "The two sides will take the area under their current control as the boundary, strike a truce, and conclude a contract. Princess Daming is the queen of Wei, and the two families are relatives, so why do they see each other, it is better for the north and the south to stand together. ”

Gao Yihuan shook his head, "I'm afraid this kind of condition won't work." ”

He Tengjiao was a little happy when he heard Gao Yihuan say this, "What are the conditions of Wei?" ”

Gao Yihuan stood up, walked to the sand table, pointed to Hu Guang and said, "I still want Hunan!" If the Southern Ming wanted to return Changde, they also needed to cede Changsha and other state capitals to the Great Wei. ”

He Tengjiao frowned and said: "With such conditions, I can't be the master, I need to go back and report to Your Majesty!" ”

"No problem!" Gao Yihuan bowed slightly: "He Gebu can go back and tell Zhu Cihong that my conditions will not change, and if he doesn't agree, he will start a war immediately." In addition, if He Gebu figured it out, he could come to Dawei at any time, and I would definitely treat him with kindness. ”

~~~~~~

In the city of Nanjing, Zhu Cihong sat in the imperial study, and after listening to He Tengjiao's report, he immediately waved his hand, "The Qing family has worked hard all the way, let's go back and rest first!" ”

He Tengjiao originally wanted to analyze the situation for Zhu Cihong, but when he heard the words, he knew that he was going to summon Jinyiwei, so he could only salute and leave.

At this time, Zhu Cihong summoned the Jinyi guards who followed him across the river and asked, "How is the situation on the north bank?" ”

The first person knelt on one knee, "Back to Your Majesty, the Wei army has gathered in Jiangbei, and the sergeants of the Chenguan camp are rushing to make rafts and prepare to cross the river." ”

Zhu Cihong turned his head and asked, "What do the Qing family think?" ”

Ruan Dacheng said: "Your Majesty, Gao Yihuan's agreement to negotiate peace shows that he has no confidence in his heart, and rushing to make a raft shows that the Wei army has insufficient ships." In this case, the minister thought that Jiangbei Wei was a thief, and he was not afraid. ”

Chen Zilong said: "The Wei army is facing the Yangtze River, and the front of the army is directed at Nanjing, just like a general in chess, our dynasty must deal with it, and the Wei army must have a ship in its hands, but there are not many." ”

Zhu Cihong stood up, paced back and forth, and finally stood still: "Let He Tengjiao continue to negotiate with the high thief, delay time, and then transfer 20,000 people from Wuchang back to defend Nanjing." ”

The Wei army drank the Yangtze River, and Zhu Cihong could not help but consider his own safety, but he could not draw Huguang troops on a large scale, so he only transferred 20,000 people and went down by boat to Nanjing for reinforcements.

With 20,000 Ming troops, plus sailors, Zhu Cihong believed that it would be difficult for the Wei army to cross the river, and as long as Nanjing was safe, Huguang could still fight a dozen.

~~~~~~

With the withdrawal of the Ming army's naval division from the Huaijiang River and the retreat to the Yangtze River for defense, the Huaijiang waterway was completely in the hands of the Wei army.

At night, on the water surface of the Huai River, a long series of pitch-black objects, against the river flow, moved westward, like a big snake.

This is the Wei army sailor from Haizhou, in the cabin, the soldiers are rowing hard, and the people on the shore are pulling a long rope and dragging it in the direction of Huai'an.

They went south from Haizhou to the entrance of the Huai River, then went against the river to Huai'an, and finally followed the Grand Canal and entered the Yangtze River to participate in the battle of crossing the river.
