"Mr. Fan, did Li Xinke agree to surrender?" Dorgon was looking at the mountain lazily. When he saw Fan Wencheng slowly coming in the distance, he immediately went up to meet him.

"Master Beile, Li Xin is willing to surrender, but he also puts forward the conditions." Fan Wencheng's expression remained unchanged, but instead said with a smile: "He wants armor, weapons, war horses, hehe, and you also want His Majesty to agree to make him king after going south to the Central Plains."

"Hmph, I'm so brave. I don't think he wants to surrender to my Qing Dynasty at all." Duoduo's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he sneered: "What is Li Xin? He is only a few hundred people under his command. I, Duoduo, can capture him as long as I lead a Niu Lu. He is still so arrogant and still thinking about being the king? Is he looking for death? Fourteenth brother, I think that boy doesn't want to surrender to my Qing Dynasty at all. It's better to take advantage of this moment to attack the mountain and destroy him in one fell swoop. See how arrogant he is."

"No, no." Fan Wencheng's expression changed and he quickly stopped him. Although he was deeply trusted by Huang Taiji, he was a Han man. In the eyes of the Qing nobles, he was just a slave. Therefore, he wanted to make meritorious contributions and persuade Li Xin and others to surrender. Now the Qing army is besieging Dalinghe City, and there are all soldiers and horses all the way from Dalinghe to Jinzhou. Li Xin is trapped at this moment, so he could not break through the siege and return to Jinzhou. In Fan Wencheng's view, Li Xin had only one way to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. In addition, Li Xin had a grudge with Chongzhen, so he was not a loyal person. Fan Wencheng believed that he could easily convince this person with such a person. Such credit was within his reach, so how could he be willing to destroy Duoduo.

"Mr. Fan said he was not afraid of him making a condition, but he was afraid of not giving a condition?" Dorgon stopped Duoduo and asked softly.

"What the fourteen Beile said is very much." Fan Wencheng looked at Dorgon in surprise. He never thought that Dorgon actually thought of this. He nodded and said, "Yes, Li Xin is extremely brave. I believe the two Beile masters also understand that such a person is like Xiang Yu at the end of Qin and Lu Bu at the end of Han Dynasty. Such a person surrendered to our Qing Dynasty. Even if there are only dozens of people under his command, this person thinks he is brave and powerful. Hehe, if he doesn't mention any conditions, even a fool will not believe it. If he doesn't mention conditions, the slave will agree on the surface that once he goes down the mountain, he will ask the two Beile masters to send troops to kill him immediately."

"Sir, this condition is too high! It's okay to ask Chongzhen's head to be called kings, but I just want to be appointed as the king if I unify the world? I remember that our brothers are still just a beller now! How many ways are there to go away from the prince? He, a small Han general, also wanted to be appointed as the king. He laughed so hard." Duoduo said with some dissatisfaction. Although he looked down on the Han people, he believed in Dorgon. Seeing that Dorgon respected Fan Wencheng very much, he naturally followed him.

"The so-called asking for a price everywhere and paying it back on the ground is the reason." Fan Wencheng shook his head and said, "He believes that King Xiang is the best, so it is normal to propose such conditions. What's more, this means that he has a hundred times more confidence in our Qing Dynasty unification! If he wants to be the king, he has to work hard for His Majesty. For this throne, he may have to work hard for His Majesty."

"What sir said is very much." Dorgon nodded and said, "I don't know what sir should do now?" Dorgon put his posture very low.

Seeing this, Fan Wencheng immediately showed a look of pride on his face, touching his beard and said, "This king can promise something, and other official positions are easy to say, but the armor and equipment still need to be ordered by His Majesty. Hehe, in fact, if Li Xin surrenders to my Qing Dynasty, it will be more than just a brave general."

"What else can it do?" Duoduo said disdainfully: "I admit that Li Xin is extremely brave, but at most he is just a brave general. Is there any other use?" Dorgon also showed a hint of curiosity.

"Li Xin's father is Li Gu. Information said that he was the prefect of Huai'an, a famous honest official, and was very influential among the Central Plains Scholars. As the son of the Central Plains clean officials, if he surrendered to my Qing Dynasty, the two Beile masters would not be a simple matter. Their influence would be far above others, and even above Zu Dashou."

"Is it that serious?" Dorgon was a little disbelief this time.

"Master Beile, this country is easy to capture, and the city is easy to break, but the hearts of the people are difficult to conquer! Especially the hearts of the scholars are even more difficult." Fan Wencheng said with a positive expression and said, "There are many scholars in the Central Plains, and conquering the world naturally requires military generals, but this rule of governing the world requires those scholars. Once Your Majesty seizes the Central Plains, these scholars need to govern. If Your Majesty treats Li Xin well at this moment and passes it to the Central Plains, those scholars will also preach Your Majesty's wisdom." Although Fan Wencheng is not very good, he is an outstanding politician, which has to be admitted. The depth of looking at the problem is far above other people.

"Hmph, scholars, I can only govern the world with us Manchu children in the Qing Dynasty. If you don't need scholars from the Central Plains, Fan Wencheng, you look down on you Central Plains literati too much." Duoduo said disdainfully: "Hmph, now Li Xin is so arrogant. After he surrenders, he will definitely ask the emperor to point him to Benbeile as a slave and let Benbeile train him well."

"The emperor is preparing to build the Eight Banners of Han, and has already let Li Xin be the Gushan Ezhen of the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty." Fan Wencheng said quickly. The Eight Banners of Manchu, the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the upcoming Han Dynasty will form the overall mechanism of the Qing army. As the Zhenghuang Banners of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, Li Xin has a high status. To be honest, he is just a slave to Huang Taiji, the Lord of Zhenghuang, and not Duoduo. Fan Wencheng said this just to remind Duoduo that Li Xin has a good status in Huang Taiji's eyes.

"Hmph! Fourteenth Brother, I'll take the lead." Duoduo glared at Fan Wencheng with a humming voice, and left without looking back.

"Hey! Mr. Fan doesn't have to be angry, Duoduo has always been like this." Dorgon bowed his hand with a smile.

"I dare not, I dare not." Fan Wencheng had a good impression of Dorgon. Among the entire Qing nobles, the Han people were always regarded as slaves. Although Fan Wencheng was deeply trusted by Huang Taiji, he was still a slave in the eyes of these Manchus. In the eyes of these people, Fan Wencheng could not see any respect. How could Dorgon not make him feel a little favor in his heart?

"Sir, since you have persuaded me to surrender, I will leave a team of people here to monitor the Xishan Mountain. Then we will return to the central army tent and talk to you later. What do you think sir?" Dorgon was asking Fan Wencheng De for his opinion again.

"Okay, that's great." Fan Wencheng was even more satisfied and nodded repeatedly.

When they arrived at the camp, the two of them caught up with Duoduo. They saw him walking around bored on a war horse. When they saw the two of them coming, they quickly came to meet them.

"Mr. Fan, since you have arrived at the camp, you can go in and report to Your Majesty. I will wait for Mr. Zhu to arrive here." Dorgon also jumped off his horse and bowed to Fan Wencheng and said.

"Okay, thank you Master Beile for that. I'll go to see Your Majesty now." Fan Wencheng thought for a while and nodded and said. As he said that, he bowed to Duoduo, beat the war horses, and soon disappeared into the eyes of Dorgon and Duoduo.

"Fourth Brother, you are the dignified Master Beile. Why do you want to curry favor with Fan Wencheng as a slave?" Duoduo said with some dissatisfaction after Fan Wencheng's back disappeared.

"Do you know why the Fourth Brother can ascend the throne? Do you know why he can take over power?" Dorgon said quietly: "This is Fan Wencheng's credit. The Ming people are very cowardly and are not our opponents on the battlefield at all, but I have to say that they are good at conspiracy, just like this Fan Wencheng."

"Is he that powerful?" Duoduo was a little disbelief.

"Fan Wencheng has something that is right, that is, we can seize the world, but if we want to govern the world, it is not enough to rely on us Manchus alone." Dorgon shook his head and said, "What's more, the fourth brother likes to value Han people. Fan Wencheng is his confidant. If he can get along well with Fan Wencheng, it will be beneficial to us in the future. At critical moments, if he doesn't do it well, he will ask him to speak for us."

"So the Fourteenth Brother flattered him like this?" Duoduo said with some dissatisfaction.

"Haha! That's not called currying. How could my grand Qing Beile currying against a Han man?" Dorgon said disdainfully: "This person is of great use to me. Hum, Duoduo, can we master the Zhengbai Banner? I'm afraid we will have to rely on his abilities at that time?"

"Just him? Can it work?" Duoduo said in disbelief.

"Yes or no, you have to try it." Dorgon said gritting his teeth: "No matter what, we must take this Zhengbai Banner in our hands, otherwise we will have no power or prestige in the Qing Dynasty. You should hurry up these days, and get rid of those who are half-hearted as soon as possible. Humph, this Zhengbai Banner was left to us by my father Khan back then, and we cannot be annexed by the fourth brother like this."

"Yes, Zhengbaiqi said that he could not let the fourth brother go." Duoduo nodded. This Zhengbaiqi was what Nurhaci left for the Dorgon brothers back then. However, as Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he suppressed Zhengbaiqi and often looked for excuses to reduce the number of Zhengbaiqi. The Dorgon brothers were miserable, but he could not do anything about it.

"Hehe, but the Fourth Brother is probably going to use the Han people more than we need to help!" Dorgon said proudly. He was still confident that he could control the Zhengbai Banner. In the Qing Dynasty, only Huang Taiji valued Han scholars. The rest, such as Dai Shan and others, regarded Han people as slaves, and all life and death were in their hands. Even Huang Taiji's close ministers like Fan Wencheng were disdainful. Therefore, if Huang Taiji wanted to realize his concept of governing the country, he must get Dorgon's support. This is the trump card of Dorgon.
