Cao Nai returned with a peace document with Wara, and the conditions were very clear: the Ming court allowed Wara to continue paying tribute, and gave Warat a reward of 50,000 taels of silver and 1,000 pieces of silk, while Warat immediately withdrew his troops, allowing the Ming army to return to Juyong Pass smoothly.
To put it bluntly, this is a disguised war reparation, but as long as it is said to be a top-down reward, Zhu Qizhen can accept it in his heart.
Is it worth 50,000 taels of silver and 1,000 pieces of silk for the lives of more than 100,000 people?
It's worth it!
Even if he only exchanged his own life, Zhu Qizhen felt that it was worth it, so he agreed without hesitation.
But at this time, Kuang Ye jumped out again to express his objection, "Your Majesty, Warat must not be gullible, and the army must not be easily moved to the Tumu Fort!"
We have managed to build a strong military defense here, and once we go down, we will be unable to defend it......"
"You rott!"
Zhu Qizhen stood up, eager to kick Kuang Ye to the ground, "If the army doesn't dig out the wooden fort, do you want to watch these soldiers being dying of thirst?"
There are a lot of people who haven't drunk water for a whole day, did you know?
” "Your Majesty, are you afraid that Warat will be deceitful......
Your Majesty ......"
Kuang Ye knelt at the feet of Zhu Qizhen at this time, and couldn't help crying bitterly, "In case the army moves out of the trenches, Warat does not keep his promise......"
"Shut up!"
At this time, Zhu Qizhen didn't want to imagine this possibility at all, or didn't dare to imagine this possibility at all, but he still looked at Cao Nai cautiously and asked, "I ask you, what are the casualties in Wara?"
Did they withdraw their troops as agreed?
Are you secretly on guard?
” "Minister......"
How dare Cao Nai make a decision about this kind of thing?
Therefore, he had no choice but to clear his responsibilities and said, "The ministers all followed the guidance of the Warat people, but I saw a lot of wounded soldiers on the way, and the leader of Warat first said that the reason why he wanted to make peace was because his own casualties were too great and he was no longer able to fight......
"Lies!"
British Gong Zhang Fu had been listening silently to the side just now, and finally couldn't help but speak, "If that's the case, how can they tell you clearly?"
” Zhang Fu's words hit the nail on the head, and Cao Nai hurriedly bowed down and explained, "What the minister said is just the appearance, as for what they don't want the minister to see, the minister can't see it!"
” Cao Nai's words were very sincere, as an envoy, he could only see what Wara wanted him to see, so he couldn't analyze why.
"That ......"
In fact, Zhu Qizhen originally wanted to agree to Wara's request, but when Zhang Fu and others objected to it, he had to hesitate a little, "Is it true or false that Wara retreated?"
You can't fool anyone!
” "When the minister came back, he did give the order to withdraw the troops in public......
Cao Nai said, he glanced at Zhang Fu, and then hurriedly added, "But whether they really withdrew their troops, the minister is not sure!"
” Wang Zhen listened to the endless arguments of the crowd on the side, and his heart was already impatient, saying that he was thirsty and hungry on this civil fort, and he was so frightened that he couldn't sleep, so he really didn't want to stay for a moment, so he interjected on the side, "Your Majesty, whether Wara withdraws the army, just send a few sentry horses down to investigate!"
” As soon as Wang Zhen reminded him like this, Zhu Qizhen immediately rejoiced, "Yes, I will immediately send someone down to investigate!"
” "Your Majesty, the old slave will go find someone now!"
Wang Zhensheng was afraid that Zhang Fu and others would make trouble from it, so he immediately took the initiative to ask Ying, and then personally selected a few military attaches to go down to check the situation.
In a short time, the military attachés who had gone to inquire returned, and announced loudly in public that Warat had withdrawn its troops, and that they had now withdrawn several miles away.
"Your Majesty, what is there to hesitate about now!"
Seeing this, Wang Zhen immediately added fuel and vinegar to the side and said, "No matter what, you have to let these tens of thousands of soldiers drink some water first, right?"
The water source of the Wuding River is just a few miles away, and it will be there in an instant!
” As soon as Wang Zhen said this, Zhu Qizhen's throat immediately subconsciously muttered, he hadn't drunk water for a long time, and now he was extremely thirsty, saying that he had suffered this sin since he was a child!
In fact, not only Zhu Qizhen and Wang Zhen, but now there are many soldiers and ministers who want to go to Wuding River to replenish water quickly, and if they continue like this, they will exceed their physiological limits!
Wang Zhen saw everyone's thoughts, so he looked at the ministers who were still against him and said, "Cheng, since some people don't want to drink water, then stay here, and the old slave wants to see how long he can last!"
Your Majesty, hurry up and give the order!
” "Good!"
At this point, Zhu Qizhen did not hesitate anymore, and stood up directly and said, "Chuan I order, the army will immediately move to the Tumu Fort and withdraw troops from the Wuding River to get water!"
” "Your Majesty, let the old minister organize it this time!"
Zhang Fu knew that he was powerless to stop it, so he could only fulfill his last responsibility in this way, "Even if the army takes water and withdraws its troops, it must maintain a combat formation to prevent a sneak attack by Wara. ” "Well, good!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded, "Then this time it will be organized by the British Princess!"
Sir, gather all the soldiers!
” After the military order was issued, everyone followed suit.
Fan Zhong just followed Zhu Qizhen closely, trying his best to protect his safety, and the ministers were organized by Kuang Ye and Cao Nai, and followed Zhu Qizhen to set off in an orderly manner, while Zhang Fu wanted to unify all the men and horses to the west side of the civil fort and prepare to move and disarm there.
Ji Ling and Jing Sheng naturally became Zhang Fu's good helpers, and the two of them, under Zhang Fu's orders, were responsible for organizing the army, and at the same time protecting the safety of the flanks on the left and right.
It's just that those soldiers are impatient, and now they want to drink water, where can they take care of these rules?
It's just that Zhang Fu's army is extremely strict, so he doesn't dare to act rashly.
It took nearly an hour for Zhang Fu and the others to complete the reorganization of the entire army, and as for those miscellaneous things, they were all discarded on the civil fort.
Heading for the Wuding River!
Finally able to drink water!
At this time, Wang Zhen, who was riding on the horse, was excited, although he was still a little swaying and unstable, but his mood was inexplicably good!
From death to life, people are so easy to be satisfied!
"Eh, Your Majesty, ......"
Wang Zhen pointed to the opposite side of the Wuding River Canal in front of him, "Is that our reinforcements?"
They're all wearing our armor......"
After Wang Zhen said that, Zhu Qizhen also hurriedly opened his eyes, and then shouted excitedly, "It's our reinforcements!"
There's no way the Warats wear armor like that!
” "Reinforcements are coming!"
At this time, the team at the forefront also discovered the anomaly on the other side of the canal, and couldn't help but be excited, "Brothers, hurry up to the edge of the Wuding River to drink water!"
” "There's water!
Run, ......"
The army suddenly fell into disorderly chaos, and Zhang Fu, who was pressed behind the team, changed his face in an instant......
