Having just experienced the first major defeat in his life, the three Bel Mang Gurtai who fled back can be said to be angry and ashamed in his heart. However, failure is a failure after all, and Mang Gurtai does not intend to defend himself when he returns to the Great Horde. However, he does not believe that this defeat is all his responsibility.

But unexpectedly, in front of everyone and Beile, Huang Taiji actually threw all the responsibility for this defeat on his head like thunder, and Mang Gurtai was naturally unwilling to be humiliated and refuted it in person.

“… Why should the Khan be so aggressive, although it is difficult for me to take the blame for this defeat, but isn't the biggest responsibility on yourself?

If you didn't insist on going your own way and had to make a detour with the army, how could you leave time for the Ming army to assemble the army and build a camp...

If it weren't for the fact that before this battle, the Khan King had transferred most of the guards of my Blue Banner away, how could I have lost so many men in the disadvantageous battle?

What's more, in this battle, Sonomu Duling and his younger brother Sechen Zhuoliktu were defeated first, resulting in the disadvantage of our army. The king of Khan did not reproach them, but put the blame on me, what is the reason? ”

It doesn't matter if Mang Gurtai doesn't refute, his retort made Huang Taiji even more angry, and he couldn't help but reprimand again: "As one of the four major Baylors in your country and the commander of the Eastern Route Army, even if you fail to a group of unknown people, do you still plan to shirk responsibility and falsely accuse others?"

Shall we bet and ask? If someone is making a false accusation, punish the person who made the false accusation; If the teller tells the truth, then punish him for not listening to the sent, okay? ”

Huang Taiji was angry and forced his gaze at Mang Gultai, hoping that Sanbeile would bow his head and admit his mistake and stop challenging his authority. When this battle is fought to this extent, someone must always stand up and take responsibility. This candidate is either Sanbeile Mang Gurtai, or he is the Great Khan of the Later Jin.

If Mang Gurtai could realize his mistake and take this responsibility off, then Huang Taiji could also take the opportunity to suppress the Mongol leaders who were dissatisfied with the defeat and ease the contradictions within the Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces that had arisen due to the defeat.

However, Mang Gurtai obviously did not understand Huang Taiji's intentions, and under the persecution of Huang Taiji, his thoughts even got into the tip of the horns, thinking that Huang Taiji wanted to take this opportunity to murder him, so he couldn't help but take a step forward with the handle of his saber in his hand and said: "For the Khan, do things from the public, why is it difficult for me alone?" Since the king of Khan ascended the throne, I have obeyed everything that the king of Khan commanded, but now the king of Khan still does not like it, does he want to punish me for evil? ”

The younger brother of the same mother, Dege, who was standing beside Mang Gurtai, was immediately shocked when he saw this, and all the guards in the big tent were Huang Taiji's cronies, and Mang Gurtai drew his sword at this time, wouldn't he be dead. So Derge hurriedly stopped Mang Gurtai in front of him, beat him with his fists, and desperately pushed him out of the big tent and said: "How dare you speak to the king of the Khan like this, there is no body to do this, hurry up and go out and sober up..."

Mang Gurtai obviously failed to understand his brother's hard work, but felt that even this closest brother had betrayed him, and scolded angrily for a while: "Daddy bird, why do you want to fight me." In the midst of his struggle, Mang Gurtai accidentally pulled out his knife and stabbed it out of his body.

Huang Taiji saw Mang Gurtai's actions, his face was pale, and he didn't say a word, and several little Baylors in the tent were also at a loss for this scene and didn't dare to speak out, and the big Baylor Daishan just opened the curtain and walked in at this time.

After seeing this scene, he immediately reprimanded Mang Gurtai angrily: "Such a rebellion, do you really want to die? What are you still doing standing there, why don't you hurry up and drag Sambel out and sober him up. It's all this time, is there another civil strife, do you want us to die here? ”

In the anger of Dai Shan, Mang Gultai finally came to his senses a little, and no longer struggled, allowing the Derge class to push him out of the big tent.

Huang Taiji coldly watched Mang Gurtai come out of the big tent, and then he said angrily to everyone in the tent: "When he was young, Khan's father raised him with me, and he did not benefit from the property. After winning the heart of his father, he did not take me in his eyes. That's fine, but in order to invite his father Khan, he actually killed his biological mother with his own hands, such a trip of beasts, do you really think that other people don't know? ”

After all, several little Baylors in the tent are young, and they don't know the inside story of what Huang Taiji said, but they have heard rumors in Shenyang that Sanbeile killed his mother and invited him to pet, and today he heard that Huang Taiji personally confirmed this rumor, and he couldn't help but be a little suspicious for a while.

Dai Shan, who was older than everyone in the tent, naturally knew that none of what Huang Taiji had just said was true, but he thought in his heart that Huang Taiji wanted to hit Mang Gurtai's reputation, so he didn't take it to heart. After all, there are more important difficulties to pass at the moment, so Dai Shan stepped forward and diverted the topic and said.

"King Khan, although Mang Gurtai is arrogant, but now that our army is newly defeated, it is precisely when we need internal unity to resist foreign enemies, and I also ask King Khan to be lenient with Sambel, so as not to make the leaders of the outside tribes laugh."

Huang Taiji looked at the appearance of everyone in the tent bowing their heads and saying nothing, and knew that this was not the time to deal with Mang Gurtai, so he said: "Okay, Da Baylor is right, today my Central Route Army and the East Route Army have suffered setbacks one after another, and the officers and men in the army are demoralized, at this time there should really be no friction between us, and I will ask Da Baylor to persuade and persuade him in a while."

But I didn't invite Big Baylor to come here, but not to be a peacemaker. Mang Gurtai's defeat in the east, not only broke more than 10,000 Mongolian cavalry, but even more than half of his own blue banner failed to escape back, this battle was really the biggest loss since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, or a defeat in the field confrontation.

If we can't regroup the morale of the army in the future, it is unknown how many of the remaining men and horses will be able to return to Shenyang. Invite Big Baylor over to discuss whether to stay or leave next? ”

Dai Shan lowered his head and thought about it, he had already heard Huang Taiji's intention to withdraw his troops, but Huang Taiji, who had always advocated a fight with the Ming army, really couldn't pull his face to slap himself in the mouth, so he hoped that he would put forward the idea of withdrawing troops. However, Dai Shan also knew that his opening of his mouth was undoubtedly equivalent to sharing the responsibility for the failure of this expedition for Huang Taiji.

Although Dai Shan was quite reluctant in his heart, he couldn't help but give Huang Taiji a step, after all, he really cared about the responsibility for this failure, but it was really possible to leave them all in this place.

"King Khan, I thought it was time to retreat. Although the strength of our army still exists, after all, this place is far away from Liaodong, and it is difficult for our army's casualties to be treated. The enemy army, on the other hand, had their backs to Datong, and the wounded could be transported back to the rear for treatment, and they could continue to send new forces up. The less our army fights, the more the enemy fights, what else is the beginning of this battle?

Our army went out this time to eliminate the Chahar Department, but now that the Ming army and the Chahar Department have joined forces, our army is invincible with one fist, and the goal of eliminating the Chahar Department is unlikely to be achieved. If we continue to stalemate with the other side, we may cause our Mongol allies to waver and rebel, isn't this asking for trouble?

In the end, if it is only an ordinary Ming general or a civil servant who presides over the overall situation on the other side, we may still be able to expect the Ming court to use some stupid tricks because of the fear of the military force of the border fortress. But since the banner of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is erected on the opposite side, I think we can't wait for this kind of opportunity.

Since it is a matter of time before the troops are withdrawn, it is better to withdraw early than later, and early withdrawal can also preserve some vitality of our army and alleviate the complaints of those Mongol allies about us. Let's look for another opportunity next time..."

Dai Shan's reason suddenly made the little Baylors in the tent nod again and again, they also felt that the current situation was too bad for their side, and it was safer to withdraw to Liaodong as soon as possible.

Looking at these thoughtful little Baylors, Huang Taiji was also extremely helpless. He also thought with emotion in his heart, if his father Khan had encountered such a scene during his lifetime, I am afraid that no one would want to go home because of such a failure. Of course, if Father Khan had commanded this expedition, perhaps there would not have been such a surprising failure.

After a moment of emotion in his heart, Huang Taiji abandoned this weak thought, cheered himself up again and said: "Da Baylor is right, we lost this battle, then we should admit defeat."

However, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and the defeat of today's battle has not shaken the foundation of my Jurchen Eight Banners, so even if you want to withdraw your troops, you can't flee like a lost dog.

I mean, send people to make peace with the Ming army and claim back the prisoners and corpses, we can't abandon the brave men who fought for the Houjin to the Ming people..."

Before Huang Taiji's words were finished, a white-armored guard hurried into the big tent and told him: "King Khan, the Ming Kingdom has released a prisoner with a positive blue banner back, and he has a message from the army for him to bring to the King Khan and the two Great Beylers. ”

After Huang Taiji listened to the message brought back by Hun Dashan, who was released, the expression on his face became extremely complicated, and he almost didn't want to say anything. Akito once again rushed in front of him, finishing all the words he wanted to use to cover his shame.

Except for the little Baylors, who looked overjoyed, thinking that it was a good thing that the war was over. Dai Shan and Huang Taiji both know that this is not good news for Hou Jin.

The Ming people first showed their martial courage in front of the Mongol tribes, and then, with such an advantage, they took the initiative to propose peace, which undoubtedly dispelled the last trace of war spirit of the Mongol tribes in the Later Jin army.

At this time, if the Later Jin still wanted to continue the war with the Ming people, it would not only make the Mongols in the Ming army on the opposite side more resentful, but also make the Mongols on their side more distant from the Later Jin.

When the Ming people released such a news, they completely disintegrated the Manchu and Mongolian alliances in the Houjin army, which made Huang Taiji even more depressed and annoyed than when he heard Mang Gurtai's confrontation just now.

What worries him even more is that the Ming Emperor was able to remain calm in the face of such a victory, not be carried away by the victory, and force the Ming and Mongolian coalition forces on the opposite side to accept his own ideas, which undoubtedly shows the young emperor's control over the army and the Mongol tribes who depended on the Ming.

Huang Taiji realized that this expedition around the Monan Grassland might be the last chance for Houjin. After today, the Monan grassland has begun to close its door to Houjin.
