"Guys, what do you think about this?" Nurhachi asked quietly after glancing around at the crowd whispering at the scene.

"Great Khan, the forces of Yehe and Khalkha suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Tieling, we should take advantage of the fact that the Ming army is not firmly established to send troops to take it down in one fell swoop."

Hearing this, the noisy room suddenly fell silent, and after the ministers glanced at each other, Fei Yingdong, one of the five ministers, groaned for a while and took the lead in speaking.

"Great Khan, the minister thinks it is impossible, I don't know what agreement the Ming court has reached with the Mongols, if the Mongols intervene in the Liaodong war in a big way, then we will be attacked by the north and the south."

As soon as Fei Yingdong's words fell, An Feiyangu, who was also one of the five ministers, expressed a different opinion and said in a deep voice, "The minister thinks that the Ming army in Yaque Pass should be destroyed first, and then go all out to deal with the enemy army in Tieling after sweeping away the troubles!" ”

"Great Khan, please immediately send troops to take Tieling."

"Great Khan, deal with the Ming army at Yaque Pass first, and clear up the troubles."

"Great Khan, the minister is willing to be the vanguard to attack Tieling, and take the head of the governor of Liaodong in the Ming court to dedicate to the Great Khan."

"Great Khan, the Ming army in Yaque Pass is not to be afraid, it is better to fight Tieling first."

"Great Khan, the Ming army that takes Yaque Pass will be able to attack Tieling with all our might."

……

When the people in the room heard this, they expressed their opinions one after another, and soon divided into two factions, one faction supported Fei Yingdong and went north to capture Tieling first, and the other faction supported An Feiyangu, first destroying the Ming army at Yaque Pass and then concentrating forces to attack Tieling.

However, except for Fei Yingdong and An Feiyangu, the other three of the five ministers did not speak, because the Zhenghong Banner and Zhengbai Banner, which were completely annihilated in Tieling this time, had a close relationship with the three of them.

When Nurhachi created the Eight Banners system, the subordinates of the five ministers were assigned to the four flags inlaid with yellow, white, red and blue.

Among them, Fei Yingdong belongs to the inlaid yellow flag, An Feiyanggu belongs to the inlaid blue flag, and the failure of Dai Shan and Huang Taiji in Tieling has the least impact on the two.

As for Eyidu, his subordinates were assigned to the Zhengbai Banner and the Yellow Banner, He Heli's subordinates were assigned to the Zhenghong Banner, and Hu Erhan's subordinates were assigned to the Zhengbai Banner.

Not only subordinates, but also many of the sons and nephews of Yidu, He Heli and Hu Erhan also served in the Zhenghongqi and Zhengbaiqi, and this time some people fled back with Daishan and Huang Taiji, and some failed to come back, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

Because the three of them had a close relationship with the Zhenghong Banner and the Zhengbai Banner, they were inconvenient to express their opinions on the next military plan, just like Dai Shan and Huang Taiji.

As the two sides expressed their opinions, the quarrel between the northbound faction and the southbound faction became more and more intense, and the atmosphere at the scene gradually became tense as to the direction of the Later Jin Army's next move.

"That's it!"

Seeing that the northbound faction and the southbound faction were tense, and there was a big fight if they didn't agree with each other, Nurhachi slapped the table hard and stopped the people who were arguing on the spot.

The people in the room suddenly fell silent, and they all looked at Nurhachi, wondering what Nurhachi thought, and seeing which faction he supported.

"Kaiyuan and Tieling are the two shackles that contain my Dajin, if we can't capture them, then Dajin will not be able to advance westward in the future."

Nurhachi groaned for a moment, and said to everyone present with a solemn expression, "I have finally achieved a great victory in Salhu, if we can't take advantage of the victory to pursue and expand the results, then the victory of the Salhu battle will be in vain, and the Ming court will definitely mobilize heavy troops to defend Kaiyuan and Tieling." ”

"Therefore, Ben Khan decided to take Kaiyuan and Tieling!" Saying that, Nurhachi's face sank, and he looked at Dai Shan and Huang Taiji who were sitting there, "Dai Shan, Huang Taiji, Ben Khan ordered the two of you to meet Du Du and lead the yellow, red and white flags to attack Tieling, this time it is extremely necessary to take Tieling City." ”

"Obey orders!" Dai Shan and Huang Taiji suddenly perked up when they heard this, and hurriedly got up to respond, which meant that Nurhachi gave the two of them the opportunity to make meritorious service and atone for their crimes, and did not mean to hold the two accountable.

Moreover, Nurhachi handed over the yellow flag under his command to the two, showing that he still trusted the two, and also transferred Du Du's white flag.

"Mang Gurtai, Amin, you lead the blue flag and the blue flag to monitor the Ming army at Yaque Pass, and you must not attack without the order of Ben Khan." Nurhachi glanced at Dai Shan and Huang Taiji, and then looked at Mang Gurtai and Amin with a serious expression, he didn't want the Ming army in Yaque Pass to cause any trouble at this time.

"Obey orders!" Mang Gurtai and Amin hurriedly got up, bowed to Nurhachi, and answered in a deep voice.

Seeing this, the rest of the people in the room couldn't help but secretly glance at each other, since Nurhachi had already given an order to the four major beylers, it meant that he had made up his mind and was ready to go north to attack Tieling first, and get rid of Kaiyuan and Tieling, the two important military towns that contained Houjin.

Du Du was not in Hetuala, he led his men and horses with white flags to monitor the Ming army at Yaque Pass, and Mang Gultai and Amin led the army to change the guard with him.

At the same time, Dai Shan and Huang Taiji were actively preparing siege equipment, and with the experience of attacking Tieling City last time, the two of them were deeply aware of the importance of siege equipment, otherwise Houjin's soldiers would lose their lives in vain during the siege.

Just when Dai Shan and Huang Taiji were preparing to make a comeback, Du Du, who rushed to Hetuala, brought a news that shocked the Houjin officials of Hetuala: the Ming army at Yaque Pass had slowly marched towards Hetuara under the command of Li Rubai, and put on a posture to capture Hetuala.

For this news, whether it was Daishan, Huang Taiji or the five ministers, they were all shocked, no one could have imagined that the Ming army in Yaque Pass would dare to take the initiative to attack, and the rout of the Ming army of the three routes in the Battle of Salhu can be vividly remembered.

However, Nurhachi was not much surprised by this, he had already guessed that Li Hongyu would not let him take Kaiyuan and Tieling smoothly, so he once again convened the ministers of Hetuara to discuss countermeasures.

The total strength of the Ming army at Yaque Pass was as high as 50,000, although Li Zhizhong and Chai Shixiu led 6,000 cavalry to support the Battle of Tieling, but because those cavalry arrived and broke the Eight Banners of Houjin, the Eight Banners collapsed and fled, so these cavalry did not suffer much damage.

In Nurhachi's view, Li Hongyu obviously would not leave Li Zhizhong and Chai Shixiu's cavalry by his side, the task of the Ming army in Tieling was to defend the city, and the cavalry was effective in the field, so Li Zhizhong and Chai Shixiu would definitely lead the army to reinforce Li Rubai.

In this way, Li Rubai's subordinates had nearly 50,000 troops, which was more than Nurhachi's Eight Banners in terms of strength alone.

With the defeat of Daishan and Huang Taiji, Nurhachi's Eight Banners soldiers were less than 50,000, although Houjin defeated the Ming army in the Battle of Sarhu, but this does not mean that the Ming army is really as unbearable as some Eight Banner generals and soldiers think.

As far as Nurhachi knows, the Ming army at Yaque Pass not only has more than 200 artillery pieces of various types, but also the firearms units have been equipped with cold weapons, and equipped with a large number of shields and bows and arrows, and have been reorganized during this time.

This made Nurhachi feel very uneasy, and it was obvious that these changes in the Ming army of Yaque Guan were aimed at the good shooting of the Eight Banners, especially the more than 200 artillery pieces that were a killer weapon against Houjin.

In addition, it was Li Rubai who led the army, Nurhachi felt a little jealous of this, although Li Rubai was criticized for his slow march during the Salhu War, but it has to be said that he successfully saved the strength of the Ming army on the east and west roads of Liao.

If the Ming Army's Third Route Army was defeated by the Houjin within five days, then Li Rubai did not think that the Southwest Route Army would change the outcome of the war if it joined the battlefield, and I am afraid that the Southwest Route Army would also be wiped out by the Houjin Army with high morale, so that the situation in Liaodong would become more complicated and even more unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty.

The last thing Nurhachi wants to meet is a person like Li Rubai who is cautious on the battlefield and takes every step of the way, so it will be difficult to seize Li Rubai's negligence on the battlefield and attack.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what countermeasures do you have in the face of this offensive of the Ming army of Yaque Pass?"

After the ministers arrived, Nurhachi looked at everyone quietly and asked, wanting to know how these high-ranking officials of Houjin would respond.

"Great Khan, in the past, the Ming army in Yaque Pass has been hiding in Yaque Pass, and now that they have come out, then the Great Khan can concentrate his forces and swallow it in one bite, so that the Ming Dynasty will not have troops in Liaodong to pose a threat to us."

Fei Yingdong, one of the five ministers, pondered for a moment and took the lead in expressing his opinion.

Although the four major Baylors are now gradually rising in the Later Jin Dynasty and slowly replacing the five ministers to become the center of power in the Later Jin Dynasty, their qualifications are too light compared to the five ministers, so it is naturally the five ministers with outstanding achievements who take the lead in expressing their attitude on such an important occasion.

"Great Khan, the minister also thinks so, since the Ming army of Yaque Pass has come to look for death this time, then we might as well fulfill them and let the Ming Emperor know how powerful we are."

Immediately, Eyidu also thought that he should seize this golden opportunity to destroy the Ming army in Yaque Pass, and said solemnly to Nurhachi, "After the Ming army in Yaque Pass is destroyed, the Ming army in Tieling will be isolated, unless that doll governor can say that Lin Dan Khan can send troops, otherwise not only Tieling, but even Shenyang will be in our pocket!" ”

"Great Khan, the minister thinks that Lin Dan Khan will definitely not be involved in this matter too much, he is a shrewd person, and he is bent on reviving the Mongol Khanate, so it is in his best interest to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight and let us fight to the death with the Ming Dynasty."

As he spoke, Eyi bowed to Nurhachi and said in a deep voice, "Besides, if he helps Daming fight us, then they will be useless to Daming, and he knows this very well in his heart." ”

Hearing this, the ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty at the scene nodded their heads one after another, thinking that the forehead was also reasonable, and now the greatest threat to the Later Jin is Mongolia, as long as Mongolia does not assist the Ming Dynasty to deal with the Later Jin, then the Later Jin will not have any suspense if they want to capture Kaiyuan and Tieling, and they can also force the Ming army to be in a passive defensive situation in Liaodong.

"Dai Shan, Huang Taiji, what about the two of you?" Seeing that everyone agreed that the Ming army had destroyed Yaque Pass first, Nurhachi frowned slightly, and asked Dai Shan and Huang Taiji, who had been silent, to see what their opinions were.
