"What! Sending a message to Guihua City?!"

Zhao Shouquan stared at Fan Wencheng, who smiled and said nothing. Zhao Shouquan looked at Fan Wencheng with a sad face and said: "Mr. Fan, how can you find a chance for me to atone for my sins?

A chance to behead and lose one’s life.”

Zhao Shou was almost crying. He could just go to other places to deliver the message. He could go to Guihua City to deliver the message to the devil Li Chaosheng. If he could come back, he would be a ghost. If he couldn't go, he might as well feed the horses here. Okay.

It is better to live than die.

Thinking of Zhao Shouquan, he cupped his hands to Fan Wencheng and said, "Mr. Fan, I can't do this. Mr. Fan will find someone else to leave."

Fan Wencheng saw this and said with a smile: "Where are you going?"

Zhao Shouquan said with a grimace: "Go back to the stable and feed the horses."

Fan Wencheng chuckled at this time and said: "Brother Zhao Xian thought he could still go back, but I asked the prince for instructions. If you don't go, you will be violating the prince's will. The prince doesn't need slaves who don't obey his will. What does brother Zhao Xian think?"

Zhao Shouquan stopped after hearing this, looked at Fan Wencheng with a bitter look on his face and said, "Mr. Fan, we have no grievances between you and me, why did you harm me!"

After hearing this, Fan Wencheng laughed and said: "Brother Zhao Xian, why did you say this? You and I are both Han people. We should help each other in the Qing court. How can we harm each other? You misunderstood us as brothers."

Fan Wencheng pulled Zhao Shouquan with a sincere expression, and then said to Zhao Shouquan with a sincere expression: "Brother Zhao Xian, you made a big mistake this time. You lost Guihua City, and you also sent the enemy's letter."

When you get into the hands of the prince, you almost make him angry. Everyone in the entire military camp wants to crush you to ashes. In such a situation, if you don't make a big contribution, who can save you?"

Zhao Shouquan was silent after hearing this. What Fan Wencheng said was very reasonable. He made mistakes. Without one or two merits, how could he straighten up and be a human being? But even if he wanted to make meritorious deeds, this task was too much

It's dangerous.

Fan Wencheng glanced at Zhao Shouquan's face, made a guess, and said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth: "Brother Zhao Xian, I know what you are thinking. I feel that if I return to Huacheng, I will throw myself into a trap and will undoubtedly die. But I don't think so.

, come, I want to help you analyze a thing or two, so you know that as a brother, I will not harm you."

Zhao Shouquan glanced at Fan Wencheng with a look of disbelief. Fan Wencheng smiled and said: "If you don't believe me, just listen to me. First, you are going to Guihua City this time as a messenger. Youdao is an envoy who will not be killed when the two countries are at war.

He, Li Chaosheng, has become the image of a prince, and he will definitely pay attention to his personal reputation and will not damage his image for little people like you and me, otherwise he will not be able to convince the public in the future."

Zhao Shouquan frowned slightly when he heard this, and followed Fan Wencheng and said: "Secondly, according to my analysis, Li Chaosheng didn't want to kill you, otherwise he wouldn't have put you back and killed you in Guihua City, so why go around?"

How about I kill you again?"

Zhao Shouquan smacked his lips when he heard this. This was true. When he was in Guihua City, killing himself was as easy as crushing a bug. In the end, Li Chaosheng did not kill him. In other words, he was not worthy in Li Chaosheng's eyes.

You can kill or not, there is no need to kill, then your own safety is guaranteed.

"Finally and most importantly, the letter that the prince wrote to Li Chaosheng this time is just a simple invitation to meet. There are no humiliating words. It will not make Li Chaosheng furious. Since he is not angry, there is no need to attack him in anger.

In this respect, the prince has more credibility than Li Chaosheng."

After saying this, Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "With these three points, your safety can almost be guaranteed. What do you think, Brother Zhao Xian?"

Zhao Shouquan was silent at this time, his eyes were rolling around wildly, and finally, as if he had made up his mind, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Mr. Fan for your advice. Zhao understands. I will take this job."

Fan Wencheng smiled when he heard this and said, "That's very good."

Zhao Shouquan looked at Fan Wencheng and said, "But Mr. Fan, I still have something to ask for."

Fan Wencheng looked at Zhao Shouquan and said, "But it doesn't matter."

Zhao Shouquan touched his belly and said: "Mr. Fan, although you have analyzed the situation for me, I know that there are still many dangers here, so I want to enjoy it for the last time. Can you please arrange a sumptuous meal for me, Mr. Fan?

It’s best to have wine, and if you have a young lady, give it to Zhao. After Zhao enjoys it, he will definitely complete the prince’s mission wholeheartedly, never slack off, and die without regrets.”

After hearing this, Fan Wencheng looked at Zhao Shouquan and said, "Brother Zhao Xian doesn't believe me?"

When Zhao Shouquan heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, Mr. Fan misunderstood."

Fan Wencheng waved his hand and said: "That's all. Since Brother Zhao Xian has something to ask for, I can't let him down. That's all. I'll prepare the food and wine for you. But women, since there are no women in the military camp, I can't prepare them for you. Brother Xian still has to be patient.

Wait, when this is over, go back to Shengjing and there will be plenty of women for you to choose from."

"Yes, it all depends on Mr. Fan's arrangement."

Zhao Shouquan clasped his fists.

Fan Wencheng nodded, turned and left, waving to his men: "Prepare a table of food and wine for him, and find some clean clothes on the way."

"yes."

Zhao Shouquan watched Fan Wencheng walk away, touched his belly and said, "No matter what, let's fill you up first."

Zhao Shouquan has not eaten human food for a long time. Ever since he was imprisoned in the horse pen, his food has been the beans left by the horses. Yes, the beans left by the horses, even the beans that the horses have not eaten.

He couldn't even eat it, because his status in the military camp couldn't be compared with that of a good horse, let alone a human being. It couldn't be said to be miserable.

Zhao Shouquan had a hearty meal. After so many days, he finally saw meat. Zhao Shouquan was so full of tears when he ate. The fat meat that he usually didn't even look at in Guihua City now became the most delicious in the world.

The delicious food made him really hungry.

After eating and drinking, taking a shower and changing clothes, he saw the letter written by Dorgon not far away. After thinking about it, Zhao Shouquan got up with the letter. It was a blessing, not a curse. It is a curse that cannot be avoided.

, after eating this meal, if I dare not deliver the letter, then there will definitely be a dead end waiting for me.

Zhao Shouquan sighed, this is all retribution.

After leaving the camp, there was a team of guards waiting outside. This team of guards euphemistically called it to protect Zhao Shouquan. In fact, how could Zhao Shouquan not understand that they were watching him because they were afraid that he would run away. When they arrived at the gate of Guihua City, they would turn back. No.

Will follow him into the city.

"My lord, please mount your horse."

The guard handed over to Zhao Shouquan, who nodded with a wry smile, mounted his horse and headed straight for Guihua City.

…

In Guihua City, City Lord's Mansion, Li Chaosheng was listening to Gu Zi's report.

"Li Chaolong's department called. They have received the batch of silver from Zhao Ruiguo and Zhangjiakou and are currently on their way to Lantian County. For safety reasons, Commander Li Chaolong has brought two brigades to escort them."

Li Chaosheng nodded and said: "It's better to be cautious, you won't make a big mistake."

"In addition, according to our sentinel investigation, the Tatar Prince Dodo sent troops to Zhangjiakou yesterday, killed many local tenant farmers, and finally burned Zhangjiakou."

"What?"

Li Chaosheng's eyes widened after hearing this, and he looked at Gu Zi and said, "Can you tell me again, that idiot Duduo burned Zhangjiakou?"

Gu Zi said: "Yes, our sentry took a look and found that Zhangjiakou turned into ashes. If we want to recover, we will probably have to build another city on the same spot."

"Hahaha, okay, great. After all this, it turns out that Duoduo is our good friend. I don't know if Dorgon is angry to death. Having such a younger brother on his side is really a headache for him.

ah."

Li Chaosheng was overjoyed, and Guzi asked puzzledly: "Commander, what Duduo burned was our Ming Dynasty Zhangjiakou, not the Tatar Shengjing City, why are you so happy?"

After hearing what Guzi said, Li Chaosheng grinned and said: "Guzi, let me tell you this, if Duduo burned Shengjing City, he would be considered stupid at best, but if he burned Zhangjiakou, he would be stupid."

"Commander, is there any difference between stupidity and stupidity?"

"Yes, and there is a big difference. Being stupid means that there is something wrong with your brain, and you are usually stupid. But being stupid is different. You usually look like a normal person. You only do stupid things when you are doing things. And one thing

Stupid things are more deadly than ten stupid things, such as Duduo burning Zhangjiakou, hahaha..."

Li Chaosheng couldn't help laughing again when he said this.

Gu Zi saw this and said: "This house is burned, is it good for us?"

Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "Of course, and the benefits are not small."

"What's the benefit?"

Gu Zi asked puzzledly, and Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "Zhangjiakou is in a prominent position, and the merchants there colluded with the Tatars and betrayed the Ming Dynasty. Although we killed all the merchants inside, the Ming Dynasty is too big, and some people will inevitably betray the Ming Dynasty for profit."

They are scum, so as long as Zhangjiakou still exists, there will inevitably be some profiteers in the future."

"And if Zhangjiakou is here, there will be nails near Guihua City. When they want to counterattack Guihua City one day, this place can be used as a springboard to threaten Guihua City."

Li Chaosheng looked at Guzi and said, after hearing this Guzi said: "Ah, since the harm is so great, why didn't we burn it in the first place? Wouldn't it be easier to just let Brigadier Wang Guixiang burn it?"

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng sighed and said: "I struggled with this matter for a long time at the time. Burning it would be very harmful to us."

"First, Zhangjiakou is a city of the Ming Dynasty. It's okay for us to kill the merchants, but burning the city is tantamount to a clear intention to rebel. The impact will be too bad. It will also cause the nearby tenant farmers to have no support and prevent the people from living a good life.

, our reputation is bad, and this is not conducive to the establishment of a positive image of our Lantian."

"Secondly, keeping Zhangjiakou is also beneficial to Guihua City. After all, Guihua City blocks the trade route between Zhangjiakou and the Tatars. New merchants from Zhangjiakou want to trade with the Tatars, and we can block them.

Road, plunder some money, replenish the finances of Guihua City, and the trade road is in our hands, it is very difficult for Zhangjiakou to develop. Therefore, it does not matter whether the city of Zhangjiakou is burned or not, so it was not burned at that time

it."

"And now that he has been burned by Duduo, it is very beneficial to us. The first infamy is all Tatars, which has nothing to do with us. The second is that the family has been destroyed. The Tatars have completely lost control of the Guihua City generation.

, strategically we are already in an invincible position, and they want to threaten us again unless they rebuild Zhangjiakou."

"Third, Zhangjiakou has lost its commercial status, but trade with Mongolia will continue. Mongolia and the ethnic minorities in the north are still dependent on Ming Dynasty goods. We can build Guihua City into a second Zhangjiakou, so that

Our merchants have come to seize the wealth of the north, and this time we will make a fortune."

"So, the burning of Duduo was very good. It burned down all the strategic arrangements of the Tatars near Guihua City. At the same time, it also helped us Lantian burn a road to the sky to make us rich. I have to say, Duduo

Duo is really our lucky star in Lantian County, hahaha..."

After hearing this, Guzi nodded and said: "Listening to what the military commander said, Duduo is really stupid, haha..."
