Zhao Shu taught: "My lord, withdraw and come, if the Jianyu people come on foot, we will not be able to fight at all." ”

The cavalry of the Jianyu people lies in their rapid mobility, and they can completely encircle the Ming army and attack left and right, and the Ming army suffers here in the field and cannot match it.

Sun Chengzong looked in the direction of Youtun, the old man's voice was a little hoarse, and said, "How long do you think Zhou Zhengyun can stay?" ”

Although Zhou Zheng arrested Zu Dashou and did not give an exact reason, after all, Man Gui and Zhou Zheng had fought side by side under the capital, and Zhou Zheng had defended Youtun for so long, so he still tended to believe him.

Man Gui pulled his beard and said, "My lord, it is better to defend the city in winter, and the Jianyu people are also afraid of the cold. ”

It is December for more than a month, it is the cold winter wax moon, and the Jianyu people do not say that there is not enough food and grass, even if there is enough grain and grass, they cannot continue to fight under the severe cold, and can only retreat.

Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said, "Withdraw it." ”

Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao and others responded to the order and quickly withdrew all the troops deployed south of the Daling River to Jinzhou.

And Youtun, the city wall was poured with water, and this water quickly condensed, turning Youtun into an ice city.

The tentative attack of Jianyu was unsuccessful several times, and he had to stop the siege.

Seeing the cold winter, the food and grass of the Jianyu people were also insufficient, and this time, they were really in trouble.

Huang Taiji once again gathered everyone together to discuss the dilemma in front of them.

Amin became more and more impatient, and said: "If you want to fight, you will fight, if you want to withdraw, you will withdraw, what is so much nonsense, I think it is like this, directly cross the Daling River, surround Jinzhou, and then drive straight into Ningyuan, as long as Ningyuan is taken, Jinzhou will be in the lonely city, then Sun Chengzong will have to surrender if he does not surrender......"

This kind of thinking is very taken for granted, and it stands to reason that it is not a military general like Amin who can say it, but he just said so.

Everyone understands that Amin will not let go of any opportunity to embarrass Huang Taiji, and no one will pick up the stubble.

After a pause, Zilharang, who had always been cautious in his words and deeds, spoke: "Great Khan, at this time, it is better to let go and fight. ”

Azig was also more angry, and said: "Then don't play false, directly attack Youtun, if they build it again, we will come back next year!" ”

The others said the same thing, and this was the best way for them to do it.

Huang Taiji was noncommittal, turned to Fan Wenchen, and said, "What does Fan Qing think?" ”

Now, Fan Wenchen can't be confident anymore.

He really pondered for a while, and said: "Great Khan, Sun Chengzong is determined not to come out, he has seen through our plan, as long as Jinzhou is not lost, he can build Youtun again, even if we break through Youtun, it is not of much significance." Our national strength cannot come every year. At present, it is still necessary to find a way to deal a heavy blow to the Ming army and interrupt the Ming army's northward advance. ”

Huang Taiji nodded slightly, and Fan Wenchen said it very much to his liking. Encirclement and reinforcement is his best tactic, but Sun Chengzong is not fooled and does not move, which makes him very embarrassed.

Youtun is now another nail, and if you want to pull it out, you have to endure the pain, and if you don't pull it out, it's uncomfortable.

Severe winter is coming, and food and grass are scarce.

Jianyu is in a dilemma.

Huang Taiji pondered for a long time, and suddenly said, "That's not right. Mingren's combat style this time is completely different from the past, if it was usual, they would have rescued Youtun no matter what, but this time they did enough to make a lot of noise and didn't move! ”

Fan Wenchen's heart moved slightly, and said: "This time is indeed a little unusual, could it be that Sun Chengzong did it on purpose, what is he planning?" ”

Huang Taiji looked up at Jilharang and said, "Shandong, what's going on in North Korea?" ”

Zilharang's expression was solemn, he thought about it carefully, and said, "No." The Ming army in Korea was largely dispersed and there was no threat. Shandong's sailors are not yet in turmoil, and many people still want to surrender to my big gold, which is not a threat. ”

Huang Taiji frowned calmly and continued to think.

There is no threat to the right wing, and Mongolia on the left has long been crippled, so what is Sun Chengzong planning this?

Huang Tai Ji thought about it, but his eyes were still fixed on the right tun.

He didn't expect that this small castle would become the most difficult nail for their Dajin!

Amin was impatient, stood up again, and said, "This doesn't work, that's not good, just withdraw the army, what's the use of consuming it like this?" ”

Huang Taiji glanced at him, and then said slowly: "Amin, you led your troops across the Daling River to make a test in Jinzhou. Azig, continue to surround Youtun, Yue Tuo, you make a strategy, I want to see what tricks Sun Chengzong is playing! ”

"It's the Great Khan!" A group of people answered the call.

Amin did snort coldly, turned around and walked: "It's over if you say no, how can there be so much trouble." ”

Everyone looked at Amin's back and did not speak.

Huang Taiji didn't seem to bother to pay attention to him, and after making careful arrangements, he announced the dismissal of the meeting.

The army of Jianyu quickly moved, and Amin led an army of 20,000 to cross the Daling River and approach Jinzhou City.

Jinzhou was immediately under martial law and was ready for battle.

The Jianyu's offensive against Youtun continued to intensify, and the cavalry walked around the city, making tentative attacks from time to time.

Zhou Zheng and a group of people stood in the Arrow Pavilion, looking at the camp of Jianyu.

Meng Hezhou said: "My lord, Jianyu can't wait. ”

Zhou Zheng looked at the army of Jianyu who were walking around the city, thought about it carefully, and said, "Is there any news from the overseer?" ”

Meng Hezhou said: "There is no new one, it is still a few days ago, and the letter of the superintendent said: act according to the plan." ”

For such a long time, everyone also understood that Zhou Zheng and Supervisor Sun Chengzong had always had some kind of plan.

Zhou Zheng snorted, and then said after a while: "How long can the grain and grass last?" ”

Meng Hezhou said: "One month, it is claimed to be ten days. ”

Zhou Zheng's expression did not move, but his gaze was unprecedentedly solemn, and he continued to look at the north.

With the advent of the cold winter, the Jianyu grain and grass are exhausted, and a big war is inevitable!

This is also the most important and final link in his plan with Sun Chengzong!

Chu Jin suddenly came up in a hurry and whispered in Zhou Zheng's ear for a while.

Zhou Zheng's eyes narrowed suddenly, snorted coldly, and said, "Hold your arms and wait for his move." ”

Chu Jin said: "Yes! ”

Cao Bianjiao heard it, stepped forward and said, "My lord, there are still many of them, don't you want to make more preparations?" ”

Zhou Zheng took a deep breath and said, "I want to give him another chance, if he doesn't move, I don't know about it, if he really takes that step, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

Meng Hezhou, Cao Bianjiao and the others silently didn't speak, they all knew what was going to happen, but they didn't know if that person would really take that step!

At night, the cold wind howls and is bitterly cold.

Except for the soldiers who had to patrol the city, almost no one was outside, it was too cold! It is already unknown how many people suffered frostbite and lost their combat effectiveness.

In Youtun Mansion, Zu Dashou stood in the main hall in armor, his eyes were indifferent, and in front of him were more than a dozen soldiers holding swords and standing solemnly.
