At this time, Yuan Chonghuan, who was in Huai'an Prefecture and was entangled with many wealthy families in Jiangnan, wanted to recover the stolen military rations of more than 200,000 stones, and also received the news that the Jurchens had entered the pass, as well as the imperial edict that Zhu Youjian asked him to reorganize his army and prepare to go north at any time.

After receiving the imperial edict, Yuan Chonghuan did not care about the stolen military rations and hurried back to Dongchang Prefecture with his subordinates to rectify the army. He had been entangled with the Jurchens for so long, and even Liu Hongxun could see that this was a good opportunity to annihilate the Jurchens in one fell swoop, so he naturally wouldn't be unable to see it.

As for the stolen military rations, to put it bluntly, in the face of major events like the Jurchens entering the pass, even small matters are not considered small matters. If all the Jurchens can be kept in the pass, he would not have to speak up, and others would arrange this matter properly, and even his reputation would not be damaged at all.

…

Yuan Chonghuan ran back to Dongchang Prefecture. Qian Longxi, who had been wandering around the Qinhuai River in Nanjing every day, was stunned. Yuan Chonghuan ran away and the burden fell back to him. After all, Yuan Chonghuan was going north. This time, Yuan Chonghuan either lost and was questioned or won and became a hero. The trivial matter of theft of military rations could no longer affect him.

】

As confused as Qian Longxi, there are many wealthy families in Jiangnan who participated in the theft of military rations. Now Yuan Chonghuan has run away, and no one will take the blame.

………

On the other hand, Su Hao in Jinan Prefecture City also received information about the Jurchens entering the pass, as well as news that Zhu Youjian ordered Han to come to negotiate peace.

"Master, do we want to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty?"

Looking at the peace agreement document sent by the Ming Dynasty in his hand, Ding Zimo was also a little confused and at a loss. The situation was changing too quickly. Before, the Ming Dynasty seemed to have never stopped until it was destroyed, but unexpectedly, it came to them to negotiate peace in a blink of an eye.

"Do you think peace talks are a good or a bad thing for us?"

Su Hao did not answer, but asked back.

"The disciple doesn't think it's a good thing."

After thinking for a while, Ding Zimo shook his head and said, "The Ming Dynasty cannot draw out all the energy to deal with us when there is a Jurchen invasion outside the pass. If the Ming Dynasty is allowed to annihilate all the Jurchens who entered the pass, then the grassland will definitely be in chaos, and the Nuergandusi will also be in chaos and will be in trouble. If the Ming Dynasty is unable to invade the Ming Dynasty again, then the Ming Dynasty can concentrate on dealing with us."

"Then do you mean not to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty?"

After hearing Ding Zimo's words, Su Hao chuckled. He was not surprised by Ding Zimo's thoughts, because this was an open matter. The main reason why they were able to gain a foothold in Shandong was that the Jurchens and An Bangyan entangled most of the Ming Dynasty's energy, forcing the Ming Dynasty to recruit new recruits and give them a chance to breathe.

"this……"

Ding Zimo opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. As a Han Chinese, he raised an army with Su Hao to protect himself and to save his life is understandable. But now foreign tribes invade, if he chooses to drag the Ming Dynasty back after pacifying the foreign tribes, he will concentrate all his energy on dealing with Da Qi and choose to drag the Ming Dynasty back.

"Zi Mo, I just don't want to escape in a panic."

Seeing Ding Zimo's appearance, Su Hao shook his head and chuckled: "If we are now in order to protect ourselves and cooperate with the outside world, why would we raise an army as our teacher? We just flee overseas. With the strength of our teacher, we will be the best people everywhere we go, let alone how can we let foreign tribes trampled on us in the Central Plains!"

Speaking of this, Su Hao paused for a moment before continuing: "When the Zhu family Taizu expelled the Tartars and restored China, how could I, Su Hao, do I, betray the Han people for self-protection? Our dispute with the Ming Dynasty was a dispute between the Han people, and the family of our Han people. The Jurchens were foreign tribes and colluded with outsiders. I, Su Hao, disdained to do such a thing!"

After saying that, Su Hao stood up and went to the corridor, looking into the north. Although allowing Yuan Chonghuan's 200,000 troops to go north would be harmful to him, as Zuo Yifeng said, someone would have to do something.

If even the most basic principles of being a human being can be changed, why should he rebel? With his current strength, he can occupy an island, or even Taiwan, and proclaim himself king.

The reason why he chose to occupy Shandong was that he might not have no idea of ​​changing the fate of the Han people in this world, except for not wanting to leave in a bad mood. After all, even the slaughter of Han people by the Jurchens in his previous life could not be concealed even if it was hundreds of years of history.

Three massacres in Jiading, Yangzhou for ten days, the shaving order...

Those one by one, all represent the bloody killings that dyed the Central Plains red. He used to be weak and powerless, but now he has the ability. If he doesn't try to change it, his thoughts will not be understood.

However, he didn't think that the Jurchens could be left here with the 200,000 army led by Yuan Chonghuan. The Eight Banners of the Jurchens were all cavalry, while Yuan Chonghuan's 200,000 army was all infantry. Once the Jurchens made up their minds to escape, Yuan Chonghuan would definitely not be able to catch up.

Even if the barriers on the Great Wall are reinforced, it is useless. As long as the Jurchens are willing to pay the price, they can escape. Of course, the price is not small.

Moreover, according to his memory in his previous life, the Jurchens not only entered the pass and robbed them once, but several times, each time they robbed them for several months, and robbed a large amount of human and animal wealth, which were also the foundation for the Jurchens' real rise later.

What's more, in his opinion, Huang Taiji is more worthy of attention than Zhu Youjian. Although Zhu Youjian is diligent, he is basically brainless in his work. He is not only suspicious, but also rude. It is much easier to deal with Zhu Youjian than Huang Taiji.

If Yuan Chonghuan could cause heavy losses to the Jurchens this time, it would not be so easy for the Jurchens to continue to control the Mongolian tribes.

Moreover, with Huang Taiji's personality, the other party would never give up on Liaodong unless he had no choice. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty wanted to get rid of the invasion of the Later Jin Dynasty, unless this time it was really possible to keep all the Jurchens in the pass.

…

Not to mention Su Hao's decision, the capital began to surging undercurrents at this time. A large number of Jinyiwei's Tiqi and Dongchang men were spread throughout the capital. At the same time, all the city gates of the entire capital were closed and martial law began.

Zunhua, an important Ji Liao town, was captured by the Jurchens before the arrival of reinforcements, and for a moment, Ji Liao was shocked.

………

On the other hand, after leaving the capital, Han Yu's peacekeeping team took a boat south, took the Grand Canal directly to Dezhou, and then arrived at Jinan Prefecture City by land. After living in Honglu Temple for two days, they were finally allowed to meet Su Hao.

Hanyuan Palace.

"Han Xu, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, met with the Emperor of the Great Qi."

Seeing Su Hao sitting on the dragon throne, Han Yu took the initiative to bow and bow. Although the Ming Dynasty still regards Su Hao as a rebellion, now the Ming Dynasty has requested Su Hao, so he naturally will not put on airs.

"The envoy Han is calm."

Su Haodandan said: "I already know the purpose of the envoy Han. Now that the Jiannu of Liaodong is invading Beizhili, the Ming Dynasty wants to dispatch Yuan Chonghuan to Beijing to serve the king, and is preparing to wipe out all the Jurchens in the pass, completely quell the troubles of Liaodong, so as to do all our strength to deal with our Daqi."

When Han Yu heard Su Hao's words, he felt a slump. Although he knew that their little thoughts could not be hidden, Su Hao directly made it clear, which made him not know how to answer the conversation.

Seeing Han Du's expression, Su Hao said again: "The dispute between the Great Qi and the Ming Dynasty is a struggle between our Han people and our family. When the Ming Taizu expelled the Tartars and restored China, now that foreign tribes invaded, I don't want to do such things that relatives are happy with their enemies. Besides, how can foreign tribes be trampled on by our land in the Central Plains!"

At this moment, Han Yu's heart, which was originally sunk in the bottomless abyss, was instantly bathed in spring breeze, and he hurriedly saluted: "Your Majesty Qi is noble!"

"You don't need to wear a high hat for me."

Su Hao waved his hand and said, "Although I intend to let Yuan Chonghuan lead his troops north, you also need to compensate me for my losses."

"Please speak out if His Majesty Emperor Qi has any request."

Han Du said in a deep voice, he knew that the real highlight had come. Although Su Hao intended to let Yuan Chonghuan lead his troops north, it did not mean that Su Hao would let them take action. Once they could not meet Su Hao's conditions and annoy Su Hao, it would be difficult for Su Hao to regret it.

"I want three places: Yanzhou Prefecture, Xuzhou and Huai'an Prefecture."

Su Hao said calmly that this condition was the result of his thoughts for a long time. The Yellow River flowed through these three places and occupied them, so he could guard the river. In addition, the convenience of the canal made it safe and sound in the south. He only needed to concentrate on facing the threat from the north.

"This is impossible!"

Upon hearing this, Han Yu turned the railway firmly: "Huai'an Prefecture and Xuzhou are close to Nanjing City and Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum, and His Majesty cannot agree to this request."

"What can the Ming Dynasty give me?"

Su Hao was not surprised by Han Dong's attitude. As the saying goes, asking for a price everywhere and paying it back locally. If Han Dong fully agrees to his request, he will also have to doubt whether Han Dong is confusing him, just to get out of peace and lead his troops north.

"Yanzhou Prefecture and other counties in Dongchang Prefecture can all be classified as Daqi."

Han Yu bowed and said, "And Daqi must open the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou to let the grain from Huai'an Prefecture enter Beijing."

Although it was a foolish act to explain all the chips on his side, the Ming Dynasty had no time to slowly delay with Su Hao. He took four days to get from the capital to the capital of Jinan and stayed in the Honglu Temple for two days. If he continued to delay, it would be useless even if Yuan Chonghuan could get to the capital. At that time, the Jurchens might have evacuated.

"This condition is not impossible."

Upon hearing this, Su Hao fell into thought, and nodded for a moment and said, "But I also have a request that within five years, the Ming Dynasty will not invade Daqi again. At the same time, I will take 30% of the grain that passes through the canal."

This condition was also something he thought about for a long time. If he could have five years of buffering time, it would be of great benefit to his next plan. As for the grain, it would be just a rush to fight rabbits.

Hearing Su Hao's conditions, Han Yu fell into deep thought. The hundreds of thousands of stones of grain were not a big deal. As long as Su Hao was willing to let go of the canal, after all, if you go by land, the extra grain consumed is not just hundreds of thousands of stones.

The only thing that made him hesitate was the five-year agreement. Now Su Hao has 200,000 troops under his command. If Su Hao had more than five years of development, Su Hao would probably be even more difficult to deal with. Moreover, what Zhu Youjian wanted was to wipe out the Jurchens who entered the pass, he concentrated all his strength to destroy Su Hao, the thorn.

If he agreed to Su Hao's five-year agreement, Zhu Youjian would definitely not be satisfied. As for the breach of the contract, Zhu Youjian would definitely not do it. After all, Su Hao could give up his advantages for the sake of the Han national justice.

If Zhu Youjian was betrayal, he would inevitably be criticized by the world. Therefore, for the sake of the reputation of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian would definitely not break the contract, but by then he would inevitably be angry by Zhu Youjian.

"Enter Han, my patience is limited. If I don't even agree to such conditions, then I don't mind urging my troops north and joining the Jurchens to destroy the Ming Dynasty!"

Seeing the expression on Han Yu's face, Su Hao said coldly: "You should know that I have this ability!"

Although he really doesn't want to cooperate with the Jurchens, it doesn't mean he will be controlled by others. Unfortunately, the Jurchens cannot stay in the pass, otherwise he would not have made this five-year agreement with the Ming Dynasty.

Now Bei Zhili is too busy to take care of himself, which is a good opportunity to take down Jiangnan. Unfortunately, he lacks troops and requires at least tens of thousands of troops to attack Jiangnan. Once the Jurchens escape back to the grassland and his troops are trapped in Jiangnan, then Yuan Chonghuan will bend south again, then he will be finished.

Hearing Su Hao's cold voice, Han Yu came to his senses instantly. Now they have something to ask for. Once Su Hao really leads his army north, the capital city may be in danger.

Thinking of this, Han Yu suddenly burst into cold sweat and bowed and said, "I am lost in front of the envoy's palace. I hope Your Majesty Qi will forgive you. If you discuss matters, please follow what Your Majesty Qi said."

"Shangshu Zhou, please come up with a peace agreement."

Seeing that Han Du surrendered, Su Hao did not continue to pursue the matter. If he could negotiate peace, it would be better to negotiate peace. Now his strength is still a little weaker and he must develop for a period of time.

…

As soon as the peace agreement was reached, Han Yu rushed back to the capital without stopping. Zhu Youjian personally took a look at the peace agreement and stamped with a jade seal.

Yuan Chonghuan also sent Guo Qin in Linqingzhou City to the capital first, while he himself stayed in Dongchang Prefecture.

Eight days later, Han Yu returned to Jinan Prefecture City with the peacekeeping documents stamped by Zhu Youjian. At the same time, Yuan Chonghuan hurried to the capital with the remaining troops.

………

Jinan Prefecture City.

Zichen Palace.

"See Your Majesty!"

Tang Xiangjin, He Liu, Liang Ping and Luo Yi respectfully saluted Su Hao.

Su Hao said calmly: "Let's calm."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Tang Xiangjin and the other four straightened their backs.

"There are two main things I want you to come back this time. In the Yanzhou Prefecture City, the Ming Dynasty's troops are evacuating. Luo Yi, you will lead the deputy governor of the Later Army Governor's Office to take over."

Su Hao ordered: "In addition, I am going to send people to Liaodong to capture the Jinzhou Wei and Fuzhou Wei areas, establish a foundation, and regain Liaodong."

"Your Majesty, this Liaodong is a bitter and cold place. It would be useless to retake Liaodong."
