After hearing Ma Shaoyu's words, Zhou Xian smiled faintly and ordered someone to call Huang Fei.

Ma Shaoyu said anxiously: "Zhou Futai, the fewer people know about such a thing, the better. After all, the matter of discussing peace with the Qing Dynasty is still a secret so far."

Yang Sichang supported peace talks, and he was the gentleman on Zhou Xianming's face. In addition, Chen Xinjia, who supported peace talks, was also the elector of Zhou Xian's prefect of Denglai, so Ma Shaoyu naturally regarded Zhou Xian as his own person. He spoke in front of him without any hesitation, but it did not mean that he would be willing to let more people know about this matter.

Zhou Xian smiled and waved his hand and said, "I am Governor Denglai and Mr. Huang is the general of the commander. If such a thing is done, how can I avoid him completely? Instead of being forced to let him know at that time, it is better to inform him directly."

Ma Shaoyu thought about it and felt that what Zhou Xian said made sense, so he finally nodded in agreement.

After a while, Huang Fei walked in and looked at the long paper sheet with names handed to him by Zhou Xian. He looked at Zhou Xian and Ma Shaoyu in disbelief and said, "Do you want to return all these people to the Qing army?"

Zhou Xianxiao said, "There are also bodies of all the Qing army who died in battle. This is a prerequisite for peace talks with us by the Tartars. Yes! Lord Ma."

Ma Shaoyu's face turned red and she said awkwardly: "Yes, that's it."

Huang Fei spat and said, "Prerequisite? That is, there are more conditions in the future. When will the Ming Dynasty become so weak, and we need to be at peace with the Tartars?"

Ma Shaoyu was a little angry and shouted: "Huang Qianshi, what does it mean to be humble? The Tartars do not know etiquette, how can we have the same knowledge as them? Isn't it good to flatter each other in words and get actual benefits?"

Huang Fei sneered: "Practical interests? I haven't seen the Tartars return the captured personnel of our army in the past. Isn't this kind of behavior humble? "

Ma Shaoyu glared at him, but could not argue, so he had to silently turn his eyes to Zhou Xian.

Zhou Xian smiled and said, "Mr. Ma, have you ever thought about it? If I really let these prisoners go and the Qing army broke the promise in the end, how should you and I deal with it?"

Ma Shaoyu was stunned. He was eager to promote peace talks, but he had never seriously considered this. At this moment, he heard Zhou Xian's reminder and immediately came back to the scene. His trip to Fuzhou did not receive the consent of the court, nor did he have any clear text from the Ministry of War. If these Qing army prisoners were released and the Qing army did not abide by the agreement, Emperor Chongzhen would definitely not admit it at that time. All the responsibilities would be borne by himself.

Ma Shaoyu frowned, paused for a while before asking, "That's what Zhou Futai means!"

Zhou Xian leaned back and said slowly: "Master Ma, Huang Qianshi has just expressed his feelings, and I will talk about my own. Since I sent troops to Liaodong, the Qianmai has killed four people in battle, and the general flag and small flags are counted in hundreds, and the ordinary soldiers have died in battle of 5,834, and countless injured. Their sacrifice was exchanged for this great victory. If I put those captured Qing generals back like this, I would be sorry to the brothers who died in battle, and I would not be able to overcome this hurdle in my heart. Therefore, as long as I am still in the office of Governor Denglai, I will never allow these prisoners to be released."

When Huang Fei heard Zhou Xian say this, his heart finally felt relieved and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Ma Shaoyu's face changed drastically and he hurriedly said, "You should think about this matter a little more."

Zhou Xian waved his hand and said, "No need to consider this, there is no need to discuss this. Moreover, did Lord Ma think the Donglu really have the sincerity to negotiate peace? They are just a hungry wolf, how could they let go of the fat meat? At present, Turtha began to naturalize, and the Mongolian Chahar tribe rebelled again. In addition, Lu's army broke through Tashan, and our army captured the two states of Jin and Fu. At this time, the Qing army faced no less difficulties than the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, they threw out peace talks in exchange for a chance to breathe. When they were allowed to survive this period, they would inevitably launch an attack on our Ming Dynasty again."

Seeing Ma Shaoyu lowering his head and pondering, Zhou Xian continued: "The best way to deal with hungry wolves is to use long sticks to smash their heads, break their waists, and make them permanently fearful. Only in this way can they be safe and stable for a long time. When they are at a disadvantage, making peace with hungry wolves will only encourage their arrogance and cause greater harm."

Ma Shaoyu's face was extremely difficult to see. He wanted to argue, but he didn't know where to start. The confidence that had been solidified for a long time was completely gone, and he knew that this time he would definitely return without success.

Zhou Xian clapped his hands and said with a smile: "As a court envoy, I will naturally not let you come here for nothing. Let's do this! I can't let you bring these people on the list to the Qing army, but some parts are OK." After that, Zhou Xian didn't care how confused and puzzled Ma Shaoyu was, and walked out straight out, and Huang Fei followed.

Walking out of the hall, Li Yulan bowed and said, "I finally paid homage to Zhou Futai and Huang Zhengshi."

Li Yulan was a general of the Ming Dynasty Imperial Army. She had a strong face and was even more powerful. Although she had never experienced any war, she exuded the aura of a military general. He was under house arrest by the Qing army for several months, and his heart was full of resentment. Only when Zhou Xian won a great victory could he return to the Ming realm, and he was both grateful and admired Zhou Xian.

Zhou Xian nodded with a smile and said, "You should really play in the army with such a good body." Then he turned to both sides and ordered, "You guys stay here and listen to the instructions of Lord Ma and General Li. If they have any needs, report it to me as soon as possible."

Walking to a corner, Huang Fei smiled and said to Zhou Xian: "Military Sect, it's so satisfying to confront Ma Shaoyu so hard."

Zhou Xian smiled and said, "Would Mr. Huang be willing to do something more relieved with me?"

Ma Shaoyu waved his hand and said with a fist: "Please give orders to the military."

Zhou Xian handed him the list in his hand and said, "Send someone to pass on this list to Gao Yi immediately. As long as you are on it, you will kill all the people on it and send them to Fuzhou."

Huang Fei's face changed drastically and he said, "Military, you are..."

Zhou Xian sighed a long sigh and said, "Behind Ma Shaoyu is the Ministry of War, and behind the Ministry of War is Your Majesty. As long as they still tend to negotiate peace, there may be variables in this matter. If Your Majesty issues an order to let me release these prisoners in the future, I will not obey it, but obey it, just as I said, sorry for the dead brothers. In this way, it is better to make a decision while I can still make a decision and break their thoughts."
