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

Hard power refers to the advanced degree and lethality of weapons.

Soft power is more diversified.

The commanding ability of the commander, the morale of the soldiers, the sufficient food and grass, the mastery of the weapons by the soldiers, and the support of the people in the country.

These can be called soft power.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I have already trained a few apprentices. With them, it doesn't matter if the old minister dies."

When Bi Maokang said this, he made a heroic appearance.

For a moment, Zhu Youjian was a little moved.

"Then please trouble Bi Aiqing, come, bring my war horse and send Bi Aiqing on the road."

Zhu Youjian said.

Half an hour later, Sanqi came out of the Ming army's camp, and the two behind them were holding high the white flag.

Even the Qing army will not break this rule.

As the saying goes, when two armies are at war, they should not be beheaded. This has been a rule since ancient times, and whoever destroys it will all be punished.

Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms period is a lesson from the past.

His third brother Zhang Fei was killed by Soochow, and he beheaded the envoy directly, which finally led to Baidicheng Tuogu.

Bi Maokang walked out of the Ming army camp, but behind him were a dozen Qing cavalrymen.

They don't attack, they just follow behind.

This made Bi Maokang's heart tighten.

He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that if he was captured by the Qing army without seeing Yuan Chonghuan, he would be finished.

So he speeded up.

Soon, he saw Yuan Chonghuan's banner with the word Yuan written on it.

"Hurry up, rush towards Yuan Jun's camp, so as not to be intercepted by the Qing army."

After Bi Maokang finished speaking, he hurried on.

After a while, he was in front of Yuan Jun.

A group of archers immediately aimed at Bi Maokang.

"Wait, don't shoot the arrow, I am the envoy of the Ming army."

Bi Maokang held high the imperial decree.

But the archers still aimed at him, ready to shoot at any moment.

At this time, Yuan Chonghuan came to the front, his eyes were blood red.

My younger brother just died, so it's strange that his eyes aren't red.

"Let him in, let me see what Zhu Youjian is going to say."

Yuan Chonghuan said.

Beside him, Mr. Li's expression changed.

He was an envoy sent by the Qing army, and when he met the envoy of the Ming army, the two inevitably had a verbal confrontation.

"Master Yuan, should I avoid it for a while?"

Mr. Li asked.

"Sir, there is no need to evade. Let him come to my camp and see what he can come up with."

"and many more."

Yuan Chonghuan looked at Laishi again.

"It's him?"

Bi Maokang was famous, and Yuan Chonghuan had met him a few times, but he was a big celebrity around Zhu Youjian.

"Is he Bi Maokang?"

Mr. Li also opened his eyes wide.

"Come here, bring the envoys to the camp."

Yuan Chonghuan ordered.

The ten riders passed quickly and picked up Bi Maokang and the three of them.

After a while, Yuan Chonghuan set up a temporary tent, and the other cavalry were frozen in the cold wind.

Considering Bi Maokang's advanced age, Yuan Chonghuan lit a fire in the middle of the tent.

"Master Bi, what is your business here?"

Yuan Chonghuan sat on the main seat and asked.

"Master Yuan, in fact, I am here to make peace."

Bi Maokang laughed.

Yuan Chonghuan's eyes froze.

Although Zhu Youjian killed his younger brother, he still didn't want to fight Zhu Youjian. Once he failed, Zhu Youjian still had a way out, but he had no way out.

As for the Qing army, he didn't trust him very much. After all, he killed the prince Daishan in the Qing army, and when he returned to Houjin, he was not squeezed out by a large group of people.

"Your Majesty, are you really willing to make peace? There won't be any conspiracy, right?"

Yuan Chonghuan asked.

"There will be no conspiracy. Your Majesty has already understood Governor Yuan's concerns."

"Master, aren't you just afraid that His Majesty will settle accounts in the fall? So, I have a suggestion for Your Majesty."

"Even if he succeeds in the future, His Majesty will not be able to settle accounts later."

Bi Maokang laughed.

"Oh?"

Yuan Chonghuan sat up straight.

"please say."

Yuan Chonghuan said.

"Your Majesty said that as long as we join forces to destroy Houjin, we will make the governor the king of Liaodong."

Bi Maokang said.

"King of Liaodong?"

Yuan Chonghuan frowned, he would not be attracted by this false name, but to see what conditions Zhu Youjian offered later.

"and then?"

Yuan Chonghuan asked.

"Uh,"

Bi Maokang saw that Yuan Chonghuan was not attracted to Wang, so he adopted plan b.

"Your Majesty also said that Liaodong is governed by Yuan's army, and all taxes will be handled by Governor Yuan himself."

"Also, Governor Yuan only needs to come to Beijing to meet His Majesty once a year."

Bi Maokang is still exploring.

"Do you want me to enter the Beijing Miansheng every year?"

A sneer appeared on Yuan Chonghuan's face.

What if he was killed by Zhu Youjian when he was facing the saint?

He doesn't do this kind of business.

"Actually, there's no need to face the saint in person. After Governor Yuan has a son, he can send him to Beijing to face the saint."

Bi Maokang continued to release water.

Negotiation is the same as talking about business, it must reach a point that is acceptable to both parties.

However, in the process of negotiation, both parties release the water one by one, and it is impossible to make all the conditions at one time.

In this case, the meaning of negotiation will be lost.

Sure enough, Yuan Chonghuan's expression softened.

As long as he didn't come to Beijing in person, everything would be easy to talk about.

But immediately, he was embarrassed again.

"However, I'm from the south. If I eat meat in the north for a long time, I'm afraid I will suffer from indigestion."

"Occasionally, I still want to drink tea from Jiangnan."

Yuan Chonghuan said.

Tea is also one of the reasons why nomads invaded the south.

Because northerners eat meat for a long time, their bodies must not be able to handle it, either high blood pressure or diabetes.

If there is no tea to neutralize the meat, I am afraid that they will generally not live to be 50 years old.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty said that every spring, Liaodong can trade with the South, and you can exchange freely."

Bi Maokang said.

Yuan Chonghuan became excited immediately.

If Zhu Youjian really offered such a favorable condition, of course he would be very happy.

I'm afraid that the Zhu family boy will not keep his promise.

"By the way, Grand Master Bi, if His Majesty really wants to, why not sign a non-aggression treaty between us?"

Yuan Chonghuan said.
