Li Yongfang sent someone to negotiate, which was beyond Mao Wenlong's expectation. In history, there is no doubt that Li Yongfang was a hardcore traitor, so how could he send someone to contact him?

Xu Jie was not surprised when he heard this, and confidently said to Mao Wenlong: "Commander, this is indeed a good opportunity for extortion. It would be better for us to meet."

Mao Wenlong thought for a while and finally felt relieved, because his arrival in the Ming Dynasty had already changed many things. A hardcore traitor came to him to talk to him about some things, but he should be within the scope of his understanding. He was a guest from afar.

It was necessary to receive him, so Mao Wenlong waved his hand generously: "Let him come over."

Zhuzi suggested in a low voice: "Do we need to put up a battle array to deter him?"

Mao Wenlong simply sneered at this proposal: "It's just an envoy sent by a little traitor. We can't even waste our brothers' energy on him. Let him come over like this, and we can talk if there is anything to talk about. If there is no need to talk, forget it."

After receiving the commander's order, Zhu Zhu hurriedly walked out.

During the waiting period, he said he was relaxed about emergencies, but in fact it was still necessary to treat them with caution and make some plans. So Mao Wenlong solemnly asked Mr. Xu Jie for advice: "You hypocrite

A villain with a dark mentality, what do you think of this matter?"

Regarding these comments from the Marshal, Xu Jie not only did not think that he was insulted, but actually believed that he and the Marshal were really close to each other. Whether it was a joke between friends or a mutual understanding between superiors and subordinates, there were no outsiders anyway.

, because in all formal meetings, even when several of his adopted sons are present, Mao Wenlong always calls himself sir.

Since he was asked about his thoughts, of course he had to express his opinions, so after a short pause, Xu Jie told the general story of the whole thing.

"Our Liao Army is now strong and strong. I remember when we were in straits, we fought against Jiannu. Although we suffered heavy casualties, we did not suffer too much loss. This time when you come back, your purpose and role have been clearly revealed.

There is no need to be secretive at all. Both Jiannu and Li Yongfang know the key to this. And judging from Li Yongfang's current position, he is the front line facing us. Back then, Jiannu was unprecedented.

Agreed, the Han Li Yongfang established an independent flag, and also deprived him of a local jurisdiction. Does the commander-in-chief think that Nurhachi really trusts the Han people?"

Mao Wenlong said for sure: "Those who are not from our race must have different hearts, especially those who are slaves. They will not trust the Han people now, and they will never trust them in the future. The reason why they do this is not to take advantage of Li Yongfang, who is still able to fight.

The Han people organized an army, and then placed his jurisdiction between us and the Jiannu Liaodong as a buffer zone. To put it bluntly, Li Yongfang was allowed to be their cannon fodder. It was an early warning and allowed him to fight with us.

Stalking me to death to allow time for the rear troops to assemble, and then letting them fight to the death with us and drain my energy, this kind of trick can't be hidden from anyone."

Xu Jie nodded and agreed with Mao Wenlong's statement: "What the commander-in-chief said is that this is the strategic layout, but Li Yongfang is indeed an extraordinary person. He just took advantage of the mentality of Jiannu Nurhaci to pull chestnuts from the fire. Not only did he gain

In order to obtain the army expansion quota of Jiannu, we even got a piece of land of our own. Marshal, when you were away, we did not attack Liaodong. As a result, we gave Li Yongfang a long period of breathing space, allowing him to

He made arrangements calmly and implemented some policies to tolerate the people. He has strengthened his military strength. Now he has at least 10,000 soldiers in his hands. This kind of power should never be underestimated. "

"The contribution of the detective team during this period is good, but Zhu Zhu has a lot of flexibility but lacks leadership skills. The development of the detective team is not as good as I imagined."

Then he stared at Xu Jie blankly: "Our detective team in Dongjiang Town is an organization independent of Jinyiwei. Although I have a close relationship with Jinyiwei and Dongchang now, it is not our own after all. They have many things they are hiding.

Our future intelligence needs to be obtained by ourselves, which is very critical. Therefore, it is urgent to form a strong detective team and strengthen the strength of the detective team. Therefore, I have decided now that I will find an opportunity to talk to Zhuzi.

With the entire detective team handed over to you, can you shoulder this responsibility?"

Such an interview simply made Xu Jie tremble with excitement.

Secret service agencies exist in any dynasty, and they are the main reliance of those in power, and those who can control such an agency are the most trusted by those in power.

Not only that, it is precisely because the power and actions within the control of this kind of secret service agency are too huge. Now that my commander-in-chief has entrusted such an organization to him, this is enough to show that the commander-in-chief trusts him.

Although the burden is heavy, trust is more important. This is the foundation. Xu Jie quickly bowed and saluted: "My subordinates have worked hard and broken their bones to do these things for Dongjiang Town."

Mao Long patted him on the shoulder: "Thinking hard about your needs will save you from being broken into pieces. As the saying goes, a great celebrity said that the body is the capital of revolution. If you are broken into pieces, then who can I rely on in the future?" Then he directly cared about it.

He said: "Since your wife died in Liaodong, you have not married. This is not good. Putting aside the attachment to your old friend, carrying on the family line is a major matter. There are three unfilial piety, not having offspring is the most serious. This is the sage's words you respect. At the same time,

You do need someone to take care of you. Take me for example. With Yuyan by my side, my life is quite comfortable. The most important thing is to be in a good mood. Otherwise, I will act as a matchmaker and choose a good scholar for you.

A girl from a good family can have someone to talk to when she returns home."

Xu Jie was really moved to tears by the Marshal's care.

However, it is a bit far-fetched to say this at this time. Let’s study it carefully and prepare to receive Li Yongfang’s envoy.

"Li Yongfang suddenly sent an envoy to us. The situation is very obvious, that is, he has understood the war we are about to launch, and his nature does not want to consume strength with us, and needs to negotiate with us. He made a lie in it, and he hopes

Everyone must be at peace with each other to ensure his current strength and status. Regarding his thoughts, Commander, you should make a decision."

To get back to the topic, Mao Wenlong certainly needed to think, so he walked around in his main room slowly thinking with his hands behind his back.

"The premise of his coming is that Li Yongfang doesn't want to fight. He needs to ensure his strength and doesn't want to consume his wealth. Although in the past two years, I opened up the salt smuggling channel and let him take advantage of the convenient location, he still made a fortune.

But in fact, compared to his huge expenses and what he turned over, not much ended up in his hands. In this troubled world, it is very necessary to control an army. But the army is

Money-burning, even if his army has become like beggars, it is still a huge expense to maintain the army without starving to death, with 30,000 to 40,000 mouths to eat and drink every day, and once the war starts, it will

When an army like his confronts us, I have said that it will be devastating."

"Yes, Commander, whether it is to contain Hou Jin or to destroy his production for us, along the Yalu River, he will definitely be the first one we attack. Using him as a breakthrough point, not only do we know that Li

Yongfang will definitely understand. At the same time, he understands better that the comparison of strength between us is not at the same level now. When we are bound to lose in terms of strength comparison, in order to avoid the smallest loss, he sent envoys to fight with us.

They are secretly colluding, and they have to make some concessions, maybe we will no longer attack him, or at least reduce the intensity of the attack on him, in exchange for a guarantee of his strength."

"He was thinking about beauty. Attacking from Nanguan to Fuzhou, we faced high walls and fortresses, as well as the powerful Jurchen Eight Banners. At this point, my idea was to launch a fierce attack in other places.

At that time, I mobilized the Eight Banners in this area to rescue other places, and then I asked Zhang Pan to select elite troops and generals to attack Fuzhou and further regain lost ground in the Liaodong Peninsula. But in order to realize my current strategic plan, there must be

One premise is to hit all the Eight Banners of Jianzhou along the Yalu River. Only in this way can they launch military rescue and dispatch. And the one I chose is Li Yongfang. This is the weakest link of Jiannu in Liaodong. As long as I break through

It's like an undefended place behind him, how could I accept his conditions so easily?"

Xu Jie had another idea. Since this counterattack only wanted to occupy another area in Liaodong, and Li Yongfang's defense line only hoped to mobilize the Eight Banners to rescue them, even if they won a big victory, they could only retreat in the end. Then

Why not put on a fake show with him? After deepening the relationship between each other, it actually laid the foundation for the future relationship between the two parties.

Xu Jie expressed his thoughts. After Mao Wenlong pondered for a while, he finally adopted Xu Jie's suggestion: "What you said is not unreasonable. These puppet troops can use it." Then he stood up and said to Xu Jie:

"In this case, let's talk to Li Yongfang openly and honestly. Of course I will make some harsh demands. If he doesn't want to fight me, then he should pay a price."

Xu Jie persuaded: "Having said that, in order to achieve our goals, we cannot force the dog to jump over the wall. We still need sincerity."
