Zhou Xian smiled and said, "If General Wu had said this earlier, wouldn't everything be said? I discussed with General Li Guo. If you ask him to lead his troops to evacuate safely, I will then lead his troops to withdraw to Shandong and hand over all the Hejian Prefectures except Nanpi to you."

Tang Channel: "Where is Nanpi!"

Zhou Xian replied: "Leave it to General Li Guo, this is my condition to help him. You also understand that I have to keep a hand to prevent you from sending troops to attack Shandong in the future. Moreover, General Li is not my subordinate. You can feel a little more at ease when you make this arrangement."

Wu Sangui was silent for a while, then turned to Li Jiao and said, "General Li, are you not planning to go back to the King of Chuang?"

Li Guo didn't like Wu Sangui, and said in a bad tone: "The King of Chuang is in the world, and I will eventually return to him. But now I can restrain you from leading troops eastwards, which will help the King of Chuang. Moreover, with our army here, I think that General Zhou would not make a promise to take advantage of others' danger and break the promise of not fighting for five years!" As he said that, he looked at Zhou Xian with a scrutiny.

Zhou Xian smiled faintly and said, "General Li, don't worry, as long as you don't take the initiative to invade me in Shandong, I will never send troops within five years." As he said that, he turned to Wu Sangui, "General Wu, this agreement is also valid for you."

Wu Sangui sneered twice, and did not respond to Zhou Xian, but said, "Master Zhou, can we let us discuss it?"

Zhou Xian waved his hand and said, "Please."

Wu Sangui and three others left the table, leaving only Zhou Xian and Li Guo.

Li Guo was a little worried in his tone, "Will they agree?"

Zhou Xianxiao said, "If you don't agree, start a fight. With their little force, they still have the intention of protecting themselves. Are you really worried that they can eat our two armies?"

Li Guo shook his head gently and said, "You don't have to worry. All your soldiers are on the south bank of the river. Even if the battle starts, the biggest loss will not be our army?"

Zhou Xian frowned slightly, "General Li, don't think about this anymore at this time. If I hadn't come here, you would have been wiped out long ago. If you still don't believe me at this moment, it will be of no benefit to both of us."

Li Guo frowned slightly and said slowly: "But so far, I still can't figure out why you want to help me. After all, we are enemies, not friends. Isn't it better for you to both our army and the Qing army to suffer losses? Is it really hard for me to believe that you do this, and I always feel like you are planning something behind you."

Zhou Xian curled the corner of his mouth, "So you are worried that I will cheat you! This is really not necessary. After all, the worst case is just like this. If you really want to find a reason to convince yourself to believe me, just think I need time!"

Seeing Li Guo's confusion, Zhou Xian continued: "Now I have sent more than 20,000 elite troops to southern Liaoning and North Korea, and countless money and grain. Those who stay in Shandong, whether in terms of the number of soldiers or quality, are not enough to compete with Manlu. Therefore, I need you to stay in Nanpi to at least restrain Wu Sangui and others. I will need at least half a year to reorganize the population, military sources, food, weapons and everything else in Shandong."

Li Guowen said: "What about half a year later! And what are the benefits of this to our army?"

Zhou Xianxiao said, "Who knows what will happen in half a year! But within five years, as long as you do not take the initiative to attack Shandong, I will not be enemies with you. The benefit to the Chuangjun is that as long as the war does not expand into Shandong, I will continue to increase troops to Liaodong after the beginning of spring. In this way, at least the captains will not do their best to deal with you, which will give the Chuangjun a chance to breathe. The level of the Chuangjun can do at that time depends on your ability."

Li Guo frowned and said, "Do you want to regain Liaodong in five years?"

Zhou Xian nodded and said, "It is necessary to recover Liaodong. It is more smooth, and maybe you can also collect the entire northern region. To be honest, if Dorgon stayed in Liaodong honestly and had more than 200,000 troops, this would be a lot of trouble. But at this moment, he led his troops into the pass, causing the dispersion of the manchu troops, which gave me the opportunity to recover Liaodong. At this moment, entering the Central Plains is indeed Dorgon's best choice, but at the same time he also bears huge risks. Once he fails, it will be difficult for them to withdraw from Liaodong at that time."

Li Guowen said, "Where are Wu Sangui and others! They will definitely follow Dorgon's orders when they surrender to the Manchus. They will not be able to sit and watch you recover Liaodong."

Zhou Xianxiu said, "This is what we need to make a decision next. If Wu Sangui realizes that rebelling against the Qing Dynasty is more profitable than joining them, then he will naturally restrain the Qing Dynasty for me."

Li Guo's expression of disbelief was full of disbelief.

Seeing that Wu Sangui and the others had already walked towards this side, Zhou Xian whispered: "General Li, you don't have to say much later, just listen to how I say to them."

Wu Sangui returned to his seat and sat down and said to Zhou Xian: "Mr. Zhou, we agree. When will General Li retreat to the south bank of Weihe?"

Zhou Xian said: "The day after tomorrow, Li Laiheng's troops will be able to return to Dagukou by boat tomorrow."

Wu Sangui nodded in agreement, "Mr. Zhou, before General Li evacuated, we want to send 3,000 soldiers to Tianjin first. I wonder if you can agree? Also, I hope to transport half of all the supplies in Tianjin city first."

Tianjin was originally the rear base of Li Guo, which contained a large amount of military supplies. Zhou Xian understood Wu Sangui’s thoughts and smiled faintly: “General Wu still doesn’t believe in Zhou! But it doesn’t matter. I agree with both of them. I will give up a passage, and you can transport whatever you want to transport as you want.”

Wu Sangui clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Du Shuai Zhou. After this matter is done, I will drink with you again."

Zhou Xian smiled, "General Wu, this matter is over, but I would like to ask you one more thing. If Dorgon asked you to attack me in Shandong in the future, how would you do it?"

Wu Sangui raised his eyebrows, remained silent for a while, and said slowly: "Of course we don't want to start a war with Dushang Zhou, but we..."

As he said that, he glanced at Zhou Xian and said with some concern: "Master Zhou, if you still want to continue to persuade us to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, I don't think there is any need to say anything more."

Zhou Xian smiled, "I think General Wu should listen. If what I said is wrong, you can just ignore it. It will be of no benefit to you if you block your eyes and turn a blind eye."
