Outside the Tashan Fort, there is a yellow flag camp.

Emperor Taiji, the lord of the Later Jin Kingdom, urgently ordered the three major Beyler Daishan, Amin, and Mang Gurtai to come to the tent to discuss matters. The situation has developed to this point, Huang Taiji is very anxious, and very worried, the Ming army Liaodong through Sun Yueling's dangerous move, so that the entire Houjin army is on the verge of extreme danger, so he summoned the three major Baylors to discuss the next countermeasures.

Although he is the lord of the Later Jin State, in fact, from the time of Nurhachi's death to the time when he became the Khan of the Later Jin Tiancong, he has always adopted the method of the four major bailes to govern state affairs, but all important decisions are decided by the four people through joint consultation. It's just that he occupies a heavier weight among the four Baylors, and many major matters are ultimately decided by him.

At this time, Huang Taiji was the first to set his eyes on Dai Shan and said: "Second brother, now that the Ming army in Jinzhou has burned our army's grain and grass, and forced Haoge and them to retreat to the Daling River, how do you think we should deal with it?" "Dai Shan has always been steady and old-fashioned, so Huang Taiji values his opinion very much.

Dai Shan frowned tightly and didn't say a word for a long time. The eldest son Yue Tuo, whom he had always relied on, died at the hands of the Ming army, which hit him hard and made him age a lot in an instant. How could he not want to kill back to Jinzhou to take revenge, but now that the army is short of food and grass, and the enemy is being attacked before and after, if it is suggested that Huang Taiji attack Jinzhou again, it is not responsible for the entire Houjin State.

Dai Shan is Dai Shan after all, the rise and fall of the whole country is compared with personal hatred, he still chose the former, and said to Huang Taiji: "Great Khan, now that our army's grain road has been intercepted, the attack on Ningyuan has been frustrated, and morale is extremely low. At this time, it is not the time to be strong and competitive, and the class should retreat as soon as possible. If Jinzhou is forcibly attacked, the gains may outweigh the losses, and the losses will be even greater. ”

Huang Taiji nodded when he heard this, and said, "What the second brother said is very reasonable. Dai Shan and he thought of going together, at this time Houjin's situation is very unbearable, the army can only last for two days at most, if you force to fight Jinzhou, it is tantamount to digging your own grave, only retreat is the best choice, you can reduce losses as much as possible, preserve strength, in order to make a comeback in the future.

With his thoughts settled, he turned to Amin and said, "What do you think?" ”

Amin snorted, turned his head away from Huang Taiji, looked outside the tent by himself, and said coldly: "If it weren't for your own initiative to forcibly attack Ning Yuan, our army would not have fallen into such a dilemma. ”

As soon as these words came out, Huang Taiji's face suddenly darkened, and he filled his chest with anger.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Dai Shan hurriedly said: "Why did Erbeile say this, attacking the Ming army city and plundering the materials of the Ming army, isn't it also our practice, how can this matter be blamed on the head of the Great Khan?" "According to the rules of the Later Jin, whenever the Ming Dynasty sent troops, it was necessary to plunder a large amount of grain, grass, materials and weapons, and by the way, attack the city of the Ming army.

Unexpectedly, Amin didn't even give Dai Shan's face, so he went back directly, and said angrily: "My Dajin sent troops to plunder grain and grass materials to alleviate the shortage in the country, not to forcibly attack the Ming army's city. If it weren't for Emperor Taiji's strong attack on Ningyuan, which caused damage to our army, would we still face this unfavorable situation? ”

In fact, every time the Later Jin sent troops to Liaozuo, the main purpose was to plunder a large amount of food and armaments from the fortresses and post stations of the Ming army; As for the attack on the Ming army's city, it was just a formality, a temptation, and it was naturally best if it could be defeated, and it didn't matter if it couldn't be defeated. But this time Huang Taiji didn't know what kind of madness, not only forced the army to attack Jinzhou, but also forced the army to attack Ningyuan yesterday, and suffered a big loss under the city of Ningyuan, resulting in Jierharang, Sakhalian and others were seriously injured, and the Houjin soldiers were killed and injured more than 1,000.

All this is because of Huang Taiji's care, Amin has long been angry about this, and now he finally seized an opportunity to speak out.

Dai Shan was choked by Amin, and he was also very unhappy in his heart, and said to Amin in a calm voice: "The Ming army can't shrink, why can't our army attack the city, just try the strength of our army to attack the city." If the Ming army has been hiding in the city and not coming out, will we just watch and do nothing about them forever? ”

Amin snorted coldly and mocked, "Yes, try the strength of our army to attack the city." But now it's good, I tried to put myself in a dilemma, and I lost my ground. Then he turned his head to Mang Gurtai and said, "Mang Gurtai, did you say?" ”

Mang Gurtai didn't expect Amin to suddenly speak to him, "Ah", tilted his neck and thought about it, nodded and said, "It seems to be the case." ”

Dai Shan's brows furrowed even tighter, this Amin relied on his Niu Luduo and strong troops, and he simply didn't take him and Huang Taiji in his eyes, but it was completely his and Huang Taiji's responsibility to get to this point, and he couldn't blame Amin for saying something wrong, he could only sigh: "It's come to this, what's the point of saying this?" Let's discuss what to do next! ”

Amin glanced at Dai Shan and Huang Taiji, and sneered: "It was you Dai Shan who was in favor of attacking the city at the beginning, and now it is you Dai Shan who is in favor of withdrawing troops, you are really a master who will fall when he sees the wind!" ”

Compared with Dai Shan and Huang Taiji, the other thing he hates more is Dai Shan, if it weren't for Dai Shan's strong support for Huang Taiji, how could Huang Taiji win the Khan position so easily; When he attacked Korea a few months earlier, he had the intention of capturing the Joseon royal capital in order to stand on his own, but to his annoyance, Daiseon's son Yue Tuo vigorously opposed the capture of Hanyang, which caused his plan to be aborted.

Therefore, he hates Dai Shan more than Huang Taiji, and now that Dai Shan is dedicated to Huang Taiji, don't blame him for being polite.

Dai Shan ignored his ridicule and just said: "At this extraordinary time, I hope that you Baylor will focus on the overall situation and Dajin, or what should you do next?" ”

Mang Gurtai couldn't interject all the time, and then couldn't help but interject: "Why don't you go back to Jinzhou and fight the Ming army again?" I don't believe that my Dajin warriors can't beat those cowardly generals of the Ming Kingdom......"

Amin interrupted him abruptly and said, "Fight, you know the fight, the food is running out of food at the moment, how many days can you last?" Zhao Shujiao has prepared enough food, and he can eat it for at least a year. ”

Mang Gultai was scolded by Amin, and then lowered his head to look at the floor, silent.

Huang Taiji suddenly smiled, and said to Mang Gurtai: "Fifth brother, everyone knows your bravery, but now we are short of food and grass, and we can no longer persist in long-term combat, so it is better to withdraw our troops is the best way!" When we get back, we have to rely on the fifth brother to charge bravely! ”

Mang Gurtai smacked his lips and said, "It's still reasonable for the eighth brother." ”

Huang Taiji smiled, his eyes swept over the four of them one by one, and said, "Since everyone has the same idea, then our army will immediately retreat." Wait for him to come back to snow today's hatred, and let Mingren know the power of my Dajin Warrior! ”

As soon as the words fell, suddenly a person stumbled in and shouted at Huang Taiji: "Great Khan, it's not good, the Ming army in Jinzhou is out of the city!" ”

When the four Baylors heard this, they were all shocked and unbelievable.

Huang Taiji saw that this person was the white flag master Azig, and he was busy: "Twelfth brother, don't worry, slowly make it clear, how is the Ming army in Jinzhou?" ”

Azig gasped, then continued, "According to the report from the outpost, the Ming army in Jinzhou City has been dispatched to set up defenses in the vicinity of Songshan Fort, blocking our retreat. ”

Huang Taiji took a deep breath and said in disbelief: "Can the Ming army in Jinzhou have this guts? How dare you go out of the city to fight our army in the field? Then he said, "Dumping the nest and dispatching?" This is unlikely, Haoge is still in Dalinghe, and it is impossible for them to ignore Jinzhou. ”

Dai Shan nodded and added: "The Great Khan's analysis is right, it is impossible for Sun Yueling and Zhao Shujiao to ignore Jinzhou, it is absolutely impossible to transfer all the troops to Songshan Fort, and they must have left some troops to defend Jinzhou." He said to Huang Taiji, "Great Khan, it seems that this Ming army has great ambitions and wants to eat us all in one bite. ”

Mang Gurtai shouted and said, "Eighth brother, don't worry, when did the Ming army go out of the city and win the battle with my Dajin field?" Since they are bent on seeking death, it is just right for us to fulfill them and annihilate them all in Songshan. ”

The corners of Huang Taiji's mouth pulled out a sneer, and said: "This Sun Yueling is really a big support, do you think that my Dajin warrior can be bullied casually when he wins a little victory?" The fifth brother is right, since they are bent on death, let them learn the ...... of my Dajin Iron Horse."

Before he finished speaking, another herald suddenly rushed in outside the tent and shouted: "Great Khan, it's not good, the Ming army in Ningyuan City has been dispatched and is chasing us!" ”

Huang Taiji was shocked, and asked urgently: "Who is here and how many people are here?" ”

The man replied, "The striker seems to be under the command of Man Gui, and it should be more than 20,000 people. As soon as he said this, all the high-level Houjin officials in the camp were stunned, and Qi Shushu looked at Huang Taiji.

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became very tense, but at this moment, Amin sneered and said, "It's good now, you have to fight Ning Yuan, but Yuan Chonghuan doesn't want to watch you go back so easily, haha......" actually gloated and sarcastically called Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji's face became extremely cold, and he said heavily: "I don't expect Yuan Chonghuan to have the courage to go out of the city to pursue us, and the chase must be Man Gui, a reckless man who doesn't know how high or low, maybe he disobeyed Yuan Chonghuan's intentions and privately sent troops to Liaozuo." ”

After that, he said to the herald: "Quickly go and find out how many troops Jinzhou and Ningyuan each have sent, and who is the leader of the troops." ”

The man answered and departed.

Huang Taiji turned his gaze to Mang Gurtai and said in a deep voice: "Fifth brother, Man Gui is known as the first brave general of the Ming army. And you are also my Dajin No. 1 Baturu, and the arduous task of blocking Man Gui will be handed over to you, Fifth Brother! As long as you can hold out until we defeat the Sun Yue Ling Department in Songshan Fort, then the Ming army will lose this battle! ”

Mang Gurtai also seemed to feel the seriousness of the situation, gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, I will not only stop him, but also come to see you with his head!" ”

Huang Taiji stood up, walked to Mang Gurtai's side, and said again: "Fifth brother, please, when the time comes, when the Ming army is defeated, you will be the first hero of my Dajin!" ”
