In fact, everyone in the room was considering this issue, including Guo Yunhou, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who was also immersed himself in Huang Taiji and considering the big issue of how to survive the winter.

Yang Sichang first raised his head and said, "Taishi, I am foolish. If it is Huang Taiji, I will send someone to discuss peace."

"Party discussion?" Yuan Chonghuan said with a frown, "With Huang Taiji's character, how could he take the initiative to propose peace negotiations?"

Luo Feiyu said, "We will discuss various possibilities first, how to deal with each possibility, and then look at how sure each possibility is."

"Now, it is a possibility that Huang Taiji sent someone to negotiate peace."

"Very good. Now, if we get the news, Huang Taiji sent a team of people to discuss peacekeeping, and was on the way to the capital. At this time, we don't know what conditions and requirements Huang Taiji would propose for peacekeeping, and how should we deal with it?"

Yuan Chonghuan understood that this is a novel approach. The rules are simple, but everyone must stand on the enemy's side, consider the problem, find out the possibilities of various actions, and find solutions to each possibility!

The so-called complete plan is a must, I am afraid that this is how it is obtained!

He glanced at Yang Sichang, saw him frowning and pondering, and replied, "I think I will not agree with Huang Taiji's peace talks. But I will deal with it and figure out their background and ideas."

"Well, this is a kind of response. What do you think? " Luo Feiyu asked.

As soon as the discussion began, it was extremely lively. On the issue of peace talks, the main thing was that Yang Sichang and Yuan Chonghuan were the two, and the others stood in teams, gave suggestions for the two, and expressed their opinions.

This topic alone lasted for more than an hour, and the discussion came to an end until the maid brought tea and pastries.

Such a unique discussion meeting was held for three consecutive days, and all kinds of possibilities and responses were discussed clearly without any omissions.

The result of the discussion was that Huang Taiji had the possibility of peace talks, but it was very small. Even if he really sent someone to discuss peace talks, it was very likely that he would still cover up his plan to send troops.

Therefore, military preparations are imperative. Even the two firm peace talks, Yang Sichang and Guo Yunhou, felt that it was very necessary to be prepared for any trouble.

The possibility of Huang Taiji sending troops to attack the Ningjin defense line is also low. The greater possibility is to detour the grassland where the Mongolian tribes are located and enter the pass from Xifengkou!

There was a severe drought in the north, and the Mongolian tribes opened their mouths and asked the court to provide food, grass and silver to support it. However, Guo Yunhou, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was in charge of the treasury and knew more clearly that the court had no spare time to appease these greedy Mongolian tribes. So much so that on the grassland outside the Great Wall, the most powerful Chahar tribe moved westward, and some small and medium-sized tribes left behind were originally related to the Later Jin Dynasty, and this time there were sufficient reasons.

The situation in the prairie, which was originally an external barrier to the Ming Empire, has undergone major changes, and has also provided great convenience for the Huang Taiji army to detour.

For two months, Luo Feiyu was making various preparations in full swing. He also took his men and horses to various passes at Xifengkou, to Zunhua, Jizhou, Shunyi, Tongzhou and other places adjacent to the capital for on-site inspections.

He firmly believed that Huang Taiji would not just sit there and wait for death, but would take the initiative to attack. Unless Su Yaqin could dissuade him, Huang Taiji would definitely take this dangerous move.

He stayed directly in Jizhou, like a spider sitting in the middle of a spider web, waiting for the subtle sounds from all directions.

And his tentacles have extended to the prairie outside the Great Wall.

As soon as October began, the weather was still so hot. For two consecutive months, the entire north had not rained, and the drought was better than the previous year.

Such an unprecedented drought turned the entire prairie into a golden ocean.

The Ming army scouts were in groups of three, scattered two hundred miles away from the Great Wall. Each group was separated by thirty miles apart, with relatively fixed temporary stations. You only need to patrol twenty miles a day.

Every few days, these people will rotate in batches, and this cycle will be repeated. Li Guo lies on his back in the meadow, watching the withered grass stems shaking in the wind, and the sky is as blue as a whole sapphire, deep, without any flaws, and is so blue that it makes people feel panicked.

Two years ago, uncle Li Zicheng listened to the woman's evil words and ignored his dissuasion and insisted on rebelling.

As a result, in Mizhi County, he was defeated and killed, and a large group of old brothers were implicated. Li Guo, Liu Zongmin, and other survivors all thought that they would die, but unexpectedly, the Taishi said that they were all matched to the border to serve.

Now, Liu Zongmin has been promoted to 100 households for his military merits, and Li Guo is also the general banner. Although the promotion is amazing, it is far from enough to see Wang Er who was personally recruited by the Grand Master.

Wang Er is now a sergeant general in the Beijing Camp, commanding thousands of troops under his command!

Li Guo was lying on the meadow, and the horse was eating beans next to him, chewing it crunched, looking very leisurely. In fact, Li Guo’s current location is the northernmost among the border scouts.

The north wind was already a little cold and cold. Li Guo suddenly frowned, sat up suddenly, put his hands around his ears, and listened carefully in the direction of the north wind blowing.

The more he listened, the more solemn his expression became.

What the wind brings is a faint sound of horse hooves. Yes, it must be the sound of horse hooves! Li Guo is very sure of this. It is just that it is far away and the sound is very light and vague.

Li Guo stood on the saddle, put on the awning in his hand, and looked into the distance to the north.

At the end of the golden grassland, he looked carefully for a long time and confirmed that the two small black dots were two elite riders.

He was wearing a dark yellow camouflage uniform, and even the war horse was wearing a dark yellow horse cloak. Such a simple piece of clothing had a very significant hidden effect. Li Guo and others had done verification that as long as the people hid in the golden prairie, they would not be able to see clearly unless they were close.

Therefore, now, he could see two small black dots in the distance, and at the same time he was convinced that the other party could not see him and could not distinguish him from the background of the golden prairie.

Li Guo waited patiently until the two knights rushed past his right side, and he still did not move.

These are two Later Jin cavalry. There is only one possibility for them to appear here, that is, Huang Taiji led the army!

Li Guo led his horse behind the two Later Jin cavalrymen, hid in the grass stem and followed quietly. They were able to reach the limit when they could reach this place, and in a short while, they should rush back.

Sure enough, they continued to gallop forward for several miles, and there was nothing except the golden prairie. They turned over and dismounted, letting the war horseshe breathe, eat beans, drink clean water, and they could also take a rest and prepare for the return journey.

In the golden prairie, the grass stems swayed in the north wind. Looking into the distance, a person could not see the shadow of a person within ten miles of the radius. The two Later Jin cavalry relaxed their guard, sat together, talked and laughed, and ate and drank.

They didn't notice that a black ball suddenly threw out from the grass and fell between the two horses.

Bang!
