When Huang Taiji was in a daze at the cedar in front of Putuo Temple, several figures suddenly appeared on the mountain road in the distance. Sharp-eyed officials had already seen that they were climbing the mountain trail with several guards dressed in yellow flag uniforms.

Tong Shengnian, the guard guarding Huang Taiji, immediately stepped forward to inquire about the visitor, and soon rushed back and told Huang Taiji: "King Khan, it is Shumulu Tan Tai Niu Lu Ezhen, he said that there is an urgent military situation to report to King Khan. ”

Huang Taiji was taken aback, but said quietly on his face: "Let him come over." ”

Tan Tai walked to a distance of four or five steps away from Huang Taiji, and immediately saluted and said, "Slave Tan Tai asked Khan Wang An." ”

Huang Taiji stepped forward and helped Tan Tai up and said, "Since there is an urgent military intelligence report, this kind of false courtesy will be waived." Let's talk about it, what's so urgent that even the second brother can't handle it? ”

Tan Tai lowered his head and said respectfully: "King Khan, it is the military situation of Yizhou, and Da Beile does not dare to be specialized, so he let the servants go up the mountain to find the Khan King." ”

Huang Taiji paused, and then frowned and said, "Yizhou? What happened to Yizhou, could it be that those Karaqin people who entered the customs made trouble? ”

Tan Tai hurriedly replied: "It's not the Karaqin people who are making trouble, it's Du Dubeile who led the Ming army to hunt down these Karaqin people and chased them into the pass." The soldiers with the yellow banner stationed in Yiju suffered several losses when they stopped Dudu Beyler, and now the Mongols and Han Chinese in the vicinity of Yiju are panicked and are fleeing across the Daling River to Beizhen.

After receiving the news, Haugbel was setting out from Bukjin with the Yellow Flag soldiers, and is now heading to Uiju to fight against Dudu Beyler. The general of the northern town was worried that Haugbel was missing, so he sent someone to spread the news to the big camp, and when the big Belle found out, he asked his servants to come to find the Khan King. ”

"Bastard." King Khan, who had always been generous and generous in front of people, suddenly burst into a foul language, which made the Han officials behind him a little stunned, and they were a little confused, not knowing whether the two words King Khan were scolding Haugbeyler or Dudu Beyler.

Huang Taiji turned around and glanced at the officials behind him, and then ordered to the guards in front of him: "Clean up and prepare to go down the mountain and return to the camp." ”

The camp of Houjin was not far from the foot of North Putuo Mountain, and when Huangtai Jichi entered the camp, he summoned the clans and generals who remained in the camp for a military meeting.

At the meeting, Dolgon, who presided over the front-line battle, first introduced the current situation on the battlefield to everyone, "... The defenders in Jinzhou City still have no signs of dispatching to rescue the Songshan Ming Army, but the defenders of Jinzhou City will still send small units to attack from time to time to test the reality of our army's besieging troops.

As for the Mangui headquarters on Songshan, under the repeated attacks of our two white flags, they have lost all the positions below the mountainside. According to the Ming army who fled from the mountain, the Ming army on the mountain is now less than 1,500 people, but they have slaughtered all the horses and livestock before, and the number of people on the mountain has decreased, and now the army food is much more abundant. In addition, there are several wells in Songshan Fort to replenish the fresh water, but there is no shortage of water.

Now the Ming army on the mountain, the weak-willed people have almost fled down the mountain, and the rest are hard bones who dare to fight with our army. These Ming troops have the advantage of the terrain, and they dare to fight hard with our army, and if they continue to fight like this, even if they can be eliminated, the losses of our army will not be small.

As for Ningyuan's side, Yue Tobel's report was that the defenders of Ningyuan City went out of the city with great fanfare for the third time, but returned in less than 30 miles. The scouts sent by the Ming army fought several battles with our rangers, and most of them ended in a draw..."

After listening to Dolgon's report, Dai Shan couldn't help but smile and said, "Who is the person who is in charge of Ningyuan's garrison now?" Did he slip away from us like eagles? If it goes on like this, it doesn't seem that we are testing the reality of Ningyuan's defense line, but that the other party is testing the reality of the red flag. ”

Huang Taiji didn't say anything about Dai Shan, but said straightforwardly: "Everyone already knows the situation ahead, and now I will tell you a bad news, Du Du, a scum who has forgotten his ancestors, surrendered to the Ming Kingdom, not to mention, but also brought a group of Jurchen traitors to help the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom to fight us." According to the news from Uiju, he broke into the Uiju area with more than 1,000 men and horses, and also defeated several interceptions by the defenders of Uiju. Let's talk about it, how should we deal with this? ”

Azig said with a big grin: "With Haogebeile sitting in Beizhen, even if Du Du enters Yizhou with more than a thousand people, can't he deal with it?" ”

Immediately, a sect retorted: "Du Du is with more than a thousand people, but who knows if there is a Ming army behind him?" The yellow flag plus the Han army in Yizhou and Beizhen is about 3,000 people, if there are reinforcements behind Du Du, Yizhou is probably in danger, there is a granary for the army. ”

Zhenghuang Qigushan Ezhen Namutai said: "According to the news sent by the Karaqin Ministry, the reason for Dudu's attack on the Mongolian tribes of Longshan and Xiaoling River was that the Ming Emperor had convened Naadam near the middle reaches of the Luan River, and these Karaqin tribes close to our country did not answer the call.

These Mongols who fled into the customs said that there were no more than 2,000 people in Du Du's department, of which only a few hundred were Jurchens, which shows that the Ming emperor may not be completely at ease with them. The minions thought that Du Du's breakthrough into Yizhou should be his personal invitation to the Ming Emperor, and he may not have a large Ming army behind him as a backing. ”

Namutai's statement made many people in the tent breathe a sigh of relief, if Du Du really had the ability to threaten Yizhou and Beizhen, this battle for Zhengming would end here.

Dolgon quietly glanced at Huang Taiji's face, and found that this brother was still solemn, he thought about it for a while, and then said: "Even if there are no reinforcements behind Dudu, relying on the strength of Haugbel and the Yellow Banner alone, he may not be able to take Dudu.

Don't forget, those generals who followed Du Du to the Ming Kingdom were all born with yellow flags. When they followed the Waste Baylor on the expedition, they also made many military exploits and had a lot of prestige in this banner. Du Du is the old owner of the yellow flag, and it is difficult to ensure that there are few confused people in the flag. If there is collusion between inside and outside, Haugbel may have an accident when he goes to Yizhou this time.

Yizhou is the granary of the army, and Beizhen is not only the hub of grain transit, but also the main road of transportation between the front line and Shenyang. If these two places are lost, it is not a question of whether this expedition will be fruitful, but whether we can return to Shenyang safely. ”

Under Dolgon's intimidation, the generals in the tent fell silent. Everyone remembered at this time that there was now a detained Erbeiler in Shenyang City, and Sanbeile was far away from Jinzhou. If there is anything wrong here, it is really hard to say what the surname of Shenyang is.

However, this kind of thing, everyone can only think about it in their hearts, the family affairs of the Aixin Jueluo family are not something that they, the little Baylor and the Eight Banners generals, can talk about.

These words of Dolgon are exactly what Huang Taiji wants to say. Let everyone pay attention to Du Du's invasion of Yizhou, so as to put an end to the thoughts of people sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and see that Haoge and Du Du are separated from each other. Although the people in the tent are worried about Du Du's threat to Yizhou, they prefer to see Hauge and Du Du lose both, which can weaken his power, and I am afraid that many people will applaud.

Seeing that everyone in the tent was silent, Huang Taiji had to say out loud: "What Dolgon Belle said is serious, although Hauge is quite brave, but Du Du is gloomy. If Haoge is folded, it will be fine, but if the yellow flag is frustrated, not only Yizhou, but even Beizhen will be shaken.

Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud: Therefore, those who are good at fighting are invincible. And not lose the defeat of the enemy. Therefore, the victorious soldiers win first and then seek war. The defeated army fights first and then wins.

Now that we know that Uiju is the main point of our army, how can we not attach importance to it. The tiger still needs to go all out, let alone deal with a sinister villain like Du Du.

Besides, Du Du is the eldest grandson of the first Khan, but he has been uneducated since he was a child, and even made Li Ling Zhi faint, and went to take refuge in the Ming Kingdom. If this is spread, it will greatly damage the prestige of our country. Since he went deep into Yiju this time, it was the best opportunity to capture him and send him to guard the tomb in front of the Mausoleum of the First Khan to punish his mistakes.

Therefore, I intend to mobilize an army to support Hauge and take down Du Du and all the Jurchen rebels under him. You may wish to discuss which army would be better to go. ”

Although Huang Taiji said that it was for everyone to discuss, the participants only needed to think about it for a while, and it was clear that there were only two troops that could be mobilized at the moment, one was the positive yellow flag led by Huang Taiji himself, and the other was the positive red flag led by the Great Belle Daishan.

At this juncture, who would dare to persuade the king of Khan to take the yellow flag to Uiju himself, but hand over the front-line army to someone else. Therefore, the Khan's questioning was obviously in the hope that the Great Belle would take the initiative to invite Ying to go on the expedition. Since everyone knew Huang Taiji's thoughts, they had no intention of offending Da Baylor, they were not Yue Tuo after all.

After Huang Taiji asked, everyone just bowed their heads and said nothing, and Dai Shan seemed to fall asleep with his eyes squinted, and did not take the initiative to stand up. Although Huang Taiji was angry in his heart, he also knew that this was the result of his declining prestige, and he couldn't press everyone anymore at this moment.

He rolled his eyes, and suddenly said gently: "It seems that everyone is reluctant to go to Yizhou, and it seems that Ben Khan is the only idler on this front line." The positive yellow flag represents Ben Khan sitting on the front line and cannot be easily moved, otherwise it will shake the morale of our army. In this way, it is better to let Ben Khan go to Yizhou with the men and horses of the Zhenghong Banner, second brother, how about you sit in the big camp to supervise the battle? ”

Dai Shan immediately said in a panic: "King Khan is the courage of a large army, how can he be used to deal with a mere Dudu. Since everyone has a heavy responsibility on their shoulders, although the minister's legs and feet are a little unfavorable, he is also willing to take this trip for the Khan King..."

Dai Shan's face was sincerely frightened, but he was not comfortable at all. Huang Taiji wanted to go out with the red flag, which was undoubtedly forcing him to go on the expedition, and this Khan King was becoming less and less like the former eighth brother.

Huang Taiji asked with great concern: "Can the second brother's legs and feet stand it?" If it really doesn't work, let someone else take this trip on behalf of the second brother. ”

Dai Shan immediately refused, and got up and walked a few steps, indicating that his body was fine. So after the meeting, Dai Shan ordered 25 Zhenghongqi Niu Lu and prepared to go on this trip.

Since their return to Shenyang at the beginning of the year, Huang Taiji ordered the rectification of the Eight Banners military system, where when they go out, every 60 people are one Niulu, and those who are insufficient must make up the number, otherwise the Niulu booty must be halved and distributed, and the beyler will be fined one good horse and two saddles. These 25 Zhenghongqi Niulu are exactly 1,500 people.
