For some time afterwards, the two armies were basically in peace. Duoduo was not ready for the boats needed to cross the river, and even was angry because of the previous losses and could not do anything about it. After all, he was a mature general and an excellent hunter. He would definitely not be reckless when he should endure it.

After all, Zhou Shixian had prepared a long time ago and moved the city to the north early. The people in the city and even the people in the nearby villages were already scattered. If the Qing army wanted to conquer the people, they could only run farther away. As for the boats needed to cross the river, the area along the river was naturally sent by Zhou Shixian in advance to deal with it.

However, the confrontation between the two armies continued. Except for the dozens of people sent directly by Duoduo at the beginning, the other Qing army's whistle cavalry chose to bypass from a further distance. A fierce "whistle cavalry battle" broke out in the plains of the north and south of the Huai River on both sides, with casualties every day.

Both sides wanted to understand each other's actions. Although Zhou Shixian wanted to show weakness, this did not mean that he wanted to show no resistance. If that were the case, it would seem unreal.

Moreover, if you want to anger Duoduo, you have to show a certain strength, which is just to meet the Qing Dynasty's inherent impression of the Ming army in the mainland. Only in this way can you attract Duoduo and let him slowly fall into a trap.

The top hunters often appear as prey. Whoever wins and loses depends on how capable Duoduo thought he was the hunter from the beginning.

Compared with the slow progress of the Qing Dynasty, Zhou Shixian's side, with the joint efforts of the military and civilians, the transportation of materials and the construction of urban defenses was much faster.

In addition to the first time Zhou Shixian brought more than 20,000 civilians to De, among the people who fled to the north bank of the Huai River, Zhou Shixian recruited more than 50,000 young and middle-aged people, and placed them in various cities with their families.

It is precisely because of these manpower that the cities can be as solid as a god, and Zhou Shixian can be so calm. These tens of thousands of people who fled were very hated by the Qing Dynasty. Many young and middle-aged people spontaneously formed a moat and patrol team, patrolling on the city walls and by the Huai River, day and night to prevent the Qing army from smuggling and attacking.

When the Ming army fought in the internal battles, there were rivers as transportation channels. With the joint efforts of Zhou Shixian, Ni Yuanlu, Zheng Chenggong and others, there was no shortage of food and salary, and they were even more united.

However, although the Qing army went deep into the enemy territory, they did not have to worry about food and money by burning, killing, looting, and even plundering 20,000 to 30,000 people transported materials. Even though Zhou Shixian had evacuated some of them in advance, Jiangbei was too big, and various villages and towns were places that he could not reach.

After Duoduo realized that he could not break through the flank, he summoned Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming back. In the important towns on the east and west sides north of the Huai River, only a few Green Camp troops were stationed.

However, after summoning the army, Duoduo did not send more whistle cavalry and increase the intensity of reconnaissance, but sent people to send a "letter of persuading surrender" to Zhou Shixian.

In the Governor's Office in Fengyang City, the eyes of the generals also gathered on Zhou Shixian. He paused, and then said with a smile: "Okay, that Duoduo actually wants to persuade me to surrender my prince-consort. It is the world's greatest, and there are all kinds of wonders!"

After hearing this, the generals were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, as if they had heard some joke. After all, it was unheard of that to persuade the royal relatives of the enemy to surrender. Thanks to Duoduo, the damn Tartar, could think of it.

However, Zhou Shixian looked serious and then said, "Duoduo is preparing to attack, otherwise he would not have sent someone to send a letter suddenly. I am afraid that this is to confuse us and let us relax our vigilance and do it on purpose."

"Two days ago, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming had both retreated from the east and west sides to the Qing army camp on the north bank. The Qing army is now full of troops, and the boats are probably ready." Xue Laoer bowed his hand and said with his fists.

Zhou Shixian nodded: "The two armies have been in a row for almost two months. If they go on, it will be the hot summer season in July and August. The Qing army will start fighting since the beginning of the year and will definitely not last long. Duoduo must fight us as soon as possible."

"The last general is waiting to cut off the head of the chief king!" Zhang Hong said hatefully.

Zhou Shixian thought about it and suddenly laughed again, "Since Duoduo wrote a letter of persuasion to this son-in-law, the son-in-law cannot let him down. He must write a letter for him."

After hearing this, Zhang Huangyan couldn't help but smile and said, "Does the prince-consort want to give the many chief kings Duo a title of King Ping Liao?"

If you want to say, this scholar's words are different, it is really too damaging.

The other generals in the tent were originally a little confused, but when they heard this, they almost couldn't help it, and most of them laughed.

Even Zhou Shixian, who has always pretended to be calm, finally couldn't help laughing and said:

"If Naduoduo is really willing to lead the 20,000 Eight Banners and 30,000 traitors under his command, bringing the land of Henan and Shandong provinces to our Ming Dynasty, even if this son-in-law is blamed by the emperor and drowned by the spits of the civil servants, he will definitely win him the King of Ping Liao. At that time, he will set his fief in Hetuara City. After he dies, he will go to the eighteen levels of hell and will be able to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors!"

After hearing this, the generals who stood around the long table in the Governor's Mansion burst into laughter and gave the Manchus the King of Ping Liao and drove him back to the place where birds could not shit. That place was still the other party's hometown, and it was a blessing that the prince-consor dared to think about it.

"The prince-consort's plan is very good. I think that not only should we surrender Duoduo, but even Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Nikan, Tunqi and others will not be able to consider it."

Xue Laoer paused, then changed his mind and said: “These people burned, killed, looted, helped the evil, and killed the people, and cut them into pieces. We are not really trying to persuade the surrender, but to shake the will of the lower-level officers of the Qing army, especially the lower-level soldiers, the green camp soldiers, and the traitors to fight!

The main generals of the Qing army were absolutely impossible for the Manchus to surrender. If the generals of the Green Camp Army, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, were rewarded by the Liao people under the command of Geng Zhongming, were rewarded with their son-in-law, there would inevitably be a gap between the Manchu and Han generals whom they had distrust. In this way, the purpose of persuading surrender and shaking their morale will be achieved."

After hearing this, Zhou Shixian nodded slightly and said, "It's right. At this moment, as long as the rumors arise, even if a innocent person is in the first place, it is difficult for people to understand themselves. In the wars of ancient and modern times, people's morale is the most important, especially now, the two armies have been in confrontation for a long time, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming have defeated again. As long as the Manchu and Han quarrels and the soldiers do not believe in generals, and the generals doubt each other, the morale of the Qing army will inevitably decline."

"What the prince-in-law said is that in this battle, the Tartars must be on guard against the Qing army entering the territory of our Ming Dynasty. However, these Han soldiers and the green camp soldiers rebelled again. In this way, with our army's rainbow-like aura against the Qing army with weak morale, they will win this battle." Gao Jie then bowed his hand and said flatteringly. He has now convinced Zhou Shixian and plans to follow the other party.

"Come here, bring paper and pen. My son-in-law will also personally give Duoduo, Nikan, Tunqi, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and the Qing generals in the north. They will all be granted a great official, so that they can see the demeanor of my Ming Dynasty!" Zhou Shixian grinned and laughed.

Soon, Zhou Shixian finished writing all the letters of surrender, and then stamped the seal of his own military commander in front of everyone. Then, the Han minister who Duoduo sent to deliver the letters took the letters back.

The sky dimmed in a blink of an eye. After watching Zhou Shixian's letter of persuasion brought back by the Han minister who sent the letter, Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming, the north bank of the Huai River, all their faces looked ugly. Kong Youde, Shang Kexi and their soldiers all quickly explained and proved their innocence.

The Manchu generals performed differently, some laughed directly, while others pretended to be calm, but they were actually holding it in their hands, wanting to laugh but didn't know whether they should laugh. After all, Duoduo was actually named King Ping Liao, Nikan was the general of the Ding Kingdom of the Kingdom of Enemy, and Tunqi was the general of the general of the destruction of the enemy...

However, at this time, no one in the big tent dared to say anything inappropriate, whether it was Manchu or Han. After all, the faces of the three royal families of Duoduo, Nikan and Tunqi were really ugly.

"What a prince-consort of the Ming Dynasty, what a Zhou Shixian, he dares to humiliate me like this. The King of Japan will tear him to pieces. See if he dares to...Does he dare to talk to me here?"

Duoduo's face was ferocious and gritted his teeth, as if he was about to eat Zhou Shixian. After all, the title of King Ping Liao was really too humiliating.

Zhou Shixian not only gave Duoduo a title of King Ping Liao in his letter, but also promised to leave him a title after he drove Dorgon and Shunzhi back to Liaodong. If the other party could persuade Dorgon, Shunzhi would also surrender or kill him, and then give him a great contribution. In Duoduo's opinion, this was simply a great humiliation, and it was unbearable!

After hearing this, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others were also very unhappy, but at this time they were all a little timid, afraid of saying the wrong thing. Zhou Shixian had given them a few more officials and promoted them, and by the way, he said how much is a true wise head worth after Duoduo was ungrateful.

"The prince-consort of the Ming Dynasty wants to distract from the trust of our army and divide the hearts of the people. Prince, we must not fall into his plan. We cannot believe a word in the content of the letter." Compared to Nikan, who was trembling with his angrily lips, Tunqi was still calm at this time.

As he said that, Tunqi suddenly looked at the Han minister who was responsible for delivering the letter and gave a wink at the two fully armed Bayalas beside him.

The two Bayalas understood it instantly, nodded together, and then quickly walked towards the direction where the Han minister was standing at the door of the tent, and drew their swords out at the same time. Then a scream rang out in front of the Qing Dynasty Central Army tent, and a few red splashes on the tent instantly.

Duoduo looked at him coldly, then looked around the people around him, but he still said nothing.
