After receiving the order from Zhou Zheng, He Kegang from Dongjiang Town and Huanglong from Lushun led his army out of the garrison and made extensive movements on the Liaodong Peninsula.

Even a team of 500 people from Huanglong appeared dozens of miles away in Shenyang, as if approaching Chenyang, which made Chenyang panic.

Phoenix City is very close to Chenyang. In later generations, the Ming army had not arrived here for many years.

He Kegang stood at the head of the small town and looked at the direction of Chenyang, thinking in his mind when he could lead his army into Chenyang.

Two deputy generals came beside him, one of whom muttered, "Sir, it's really poor here. There's no one except game, let alone anything else."

Another said: "Sir, Jianlu are basically entrenched in places like Shenyang, Liaoyang, Fushun, and they don't farm. We can't get any benefits at all..."

The Jianlu was forcibly stopped by Zhou Zheng for the first time and did not gain enough population. He suffered repeated defeats over the years. There were not many Ming generals who surrendered to Jianlu, and the population he brought was sparse. In addition, some of the methods pursued by the Nurhaci era, the Han people in the north were already very few, and even less could farm.

He Kegang wiped his face. The cold wind in the northeast made him very uncomfortable. He said, "Tell the soldiers that if you can rob, you will rob them, and if you can't rob, you will be ruined! Let them be careful and try to get close to Chenyang and Liaoyang as much as possible. If you can rob, you will rob them. If you can't rob, you will rob them. If you can rob, you will retreat. This time we are here to explore the way for the future of Liaoning. Don't worry about that much."

"Yes!" The two deputy generals raised their hands together.

The Huanglong on the other side came out of the peninsula and was constantly testing the north.

But Jianlu was really too poor and curled up in several cities. Huang Long wanted to make a "stable wall and clear the country", but he had no gains. He could only keep going north and threatening Chenyang.

He Kegang and Huang Long led a large army, and did not really attack Chenyang. They could not figure out whether there were hidden troops in Chenyang, so they could only act cautiously.

Faced with the actions of Dongjiang Town, Jianlu showed unprecedented restraint. If it were the past, Chenyang would have been dispatched to encircle and suppress the Ming army.

Fan Wenchen came out of Huangtaiji Camp as promised, crossed the Linghe River in Dalu, and entered Jinzhou.

Zhou Zheng and Fang Yizao met him. Zhou Zheng was normal, and Fang Yizao looked at him with extremely bad eyes.

This person was very helpful to Jianlu and caused considerable damage to the Ming Dynasty. He was a complete traitor.

Fan Wenchen was unaware of anything, stood in front of Zhou Zhengzheng, raised his hand with a smile, and said, "Mr. Zhou, how are you doing now after being separated for more than ten years?"

Zhou Zheng served as an envoy in the sixth year of Tianqi, and met Fan Wenchen once in Shenyang.

Fang Yizao knew it, snorted coldly, and said, "What did the thief chief send you to do? What conspiracy? If you don't tell me about the fact that I am Chou Yin and Mao, don't think about going back!"

Fan Wenchen was not afraid, looked at Fang Yizao, then turned to Zhou Zheng, and said, "Master Zhou will not keep me, right?"

Zhou Zheng laughed and said, "I don't have much food in Jinzhou, so I can't waste it."

Fang Yizao listened, frowned and said nothing.

The more Fan Wenchen smiled, and just as he was about to speak, Zhou Zheng said lightly: "I will kill you directly and throw it into the sea to feed the fish."

The smile on Fan Wenchen's face suddenly froze, and Fang Yizao laughed.

Fan Wenchen suddenly restrained his expression and said with a smile: "I believe Lord Zhou would not do this. In order to express my emperor's sincerity that he did not want to see war, my emperor brought me twenty antiques, six porcelains, five calligraphy and paintings, one incense burner, pen holder, inkstone, and one in Buddhist niche. There are also pearl agate, gold and jade, etc. Please accept it with a smile."

Fang Yizao's expression changed slightly, and he turned his head to look at Zhou Zheng, constantly winking.

He asked Zhou Zheng to refuse. If this thing is taken away, it will be difficult to explain when he arrives at the court. The censor will drown Zhou Zheng with spit!

Zhou Zheng seemed not to see Fang Yizao's expression, took the teacup brought by the soldier, blew it gently, and said, "How can that guy Huang Taiji avoid war?"

Fan Wenchen frowned when he heard Zhou Zheng disrespectful to Huang Taiji, and then said with a smile: "Master Zhou, my emperor asks you to convey to the emperor of your country that our country is willing to be friendly with your country forever. Without war, there will be no wars in Liaodong."

Fang Yizao's face showed a cold look and his face was disdainful.

Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea and said, "The things you said are from my Ming Dynasty. They were robbed by your master. If you don't want to return them, they are still used to bribe me? This is not sincere. So, you retreat to the north of the Great Xing'an Mountains and my army will regain Chenyang. I can start the emperor and give you some fishing and hunting places to settle down. In the future, you will hunt honestly and stop thinking about rebellion, and there will be no wars."

Fan Wenchen looked at Zhou Zheng and smiled and said, "My Lord Zhou, my emperor is full of sincerity, please think twice. If the two countries continue to fight, it will be of no benefit to both sides. I believe that your court does not want to fight."

Fang Yizao immediately looked ugly when he listened to Fan Wenchen's words.

The Ming Dynasty court did not argue with Jianlu, but it did not want to fight with Jianlu forever. The sound of retreating to Shanhaiguan had never been cut off.

Zhou Zhengxiao said, "If you just talk nonsense, I think you should think about where I will throw you into the sea so that I will not defile the ancestral halls of nearby families."

Seeing that Zhou Zheng had no intention of negotiating, Fan Wenchen glanced at Fang Yizao and said with a smile: "I want to talk to Lord Zhou alone."

Fang Yizao refused decisively and said, "You can say anything to others. If you have anything, just say it here!"

Zhou Zheng looked at Fan Wenchen and turned to Fang Yizao and said, "Governor Fang, please avoid it. Come and bring a stool for Mr. Fan."

Fang Yizao said anxiously: "Sir, you must not. Jianlu is cunning, be careful of their plan of disagreement!"

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "I know what I know, don't worry."

Seeing that Zhou Zheng insisted, Fang Yizao was a little worried. He stood up and stared at Fan Wenchen fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "If you dare to do anything randomly, I will definitely kill you!"

Fan Wenchen didn't care about Fang Yizao's threat at all, and he still looked calm and at ease.

Fang Yizao left, Fan Wenchen sat down, looking at Zhou Zheng's more mature appearance than more than ten years ago, and said with emotion: "I haven't seen you for more than ten years. Lord Zhou is now the Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty and the governor of Ji Liao. He is an important official of the Ming Dynasty. Time flies..."

Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup again and said with a smile: "What I said just now is not a lie. If you don't say anything that interests me, you will have to choose the right place to bury the sea."

Fan Wenchen looked emotional and said, "The Lord is now in Liaodong, Tianjin Wei, Shandong, with hundreds of thousands of troops. The Zhou Chamber of Commerce is rich in the world, with millions of wealth. For more than two hundred years of Ming Dynasty, there is no one who is as powerful as the Lord..."

Zhou Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a calm expression: "Continue talking."
