Chapter 448: The Battle Situation
In fact, to put it bluntly, although the Jurchen people are not as extensive as the Central Plains, the principle of competing for the heroes is the same, and the various forces are nothing more than dumping and suppressing, and they are just vertical and horizontal, which is quite similar to the Central Plains during the Warring States Period.

As said in a famous book, the general trend of the world, divided for a long time must be combined for a long time, the Jurchen tribes are numerous, divided for many years, and finally emerged Nurhachi, this strange thing, can be good at fighting, not to mention, since childhood in Li Chengliang's mansion to study, it is said that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms can't put down, well versed in the essence of the various means.
In the past few years, through division and suppression, the combination of vertical and horizontal has gradually annexed other tribes, so that now, even the four tribes of Hulun, the most powerful among the original Jurchen tribes, have to unite in order to compete with him.
Of course, with the fluttering of the wings of Zhu Changluo's little butterfly, history has already deviated from the original trajectory, according to the original history, the Battle of Pingwei should have broken out at least a year later, and if the Battle of Pingwu did not start, Nurhachi would never dare to devote all his forces to attack Yehebu.
The persimmon picks up the soft pinch, which is Nurhachi's usual method.
In the original history, Yehebu repented of his marriage, and the object of Nurha's red army was actually the Hada Ministry, because the Hada Department suffered heavy losses in the battle of the Nine Divisions, and its strength suddenly became the soft persimmon among the four divisions of Hulun, and in order to recover as soon as possible, the Hada Department Bel Mengebulu asked to marry the Yehe Ministry, who knew that the Yehebu came to Jiangdong and promised the Dongge who had been promised to Nurhachi to Mengebulu.
In this way, Nurhachi and the Hada tribe fought, and the Yehe tribe was naturally able to reap the benefits, after all, the Hada tribe used to be the most powerful tribe of the Jurchen tribe, even if it declined, its status in the Jurchen tribe was also extraordinary, and Nurhachi's attack on the Hada tribe would definitely take a lot of effort, and it would also make the remaining weak tribes move closer to the Yehe tribe.
But who would have thought that the Battle of Pingwa would take place a year earlier, which added many variables to this matter.
Yehebu repented of his marriage, and Nurhachi had two choices, attacking the Hada Ministry, or attacking the Yehebu, the Hada Ministry, the Yeh Ministry, the Yehebu was strong, and it seemed that the Hada Ministry, but the truth was not so simple.
Among the Jurchen tribes today, only Yehebu can compete with the Jianzhou Jurchens, there is no doubt that in Nurhachi's heart, Yehebu is the biggest obstacle to his unification of the Jurchens, Yehebu wants to let Nurhachi and Hada go to war, and then reap the benefits, which Nurhachi knows in his heart.
It can be said that this is a win-win approach, if successful, Nurhachi will certainly be able to annex the Hada tribe, but at the same time, it will also make the Yehebu stronger, and Nurhachi is obviously unwilling to let the Yehebe benefit in vain.
There will be a battle between the two sides in the end, so helping Yehebu now is helping his future enemy, but it must be clear that Yehebu's move is a yang scheme, and even if Nurhachi knows his intentions, there is no way.
With the constraints of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible for him to put all his forces into the battlefield, and the Yehe Department is not easy to handle, if he does not go all out, the result will only be defeated by Yehe, which is also unacceptable to Nurhachi, it is better to take a step back, annex the Hada Department first, and slowly figure it out.
However, the early outbreak of the Battle of Pingwei obviously made Nurhachi feel the opportunity, in terms of strength, the strength of the Jianzhou Jurchen is stronger than that of the Yehe Department, even if the four tribes of Hulun are combined, the victory or defeat is only five or five.
The number of five or five is enough for Nurhachi, who has always been good at risk!
He relied on the thirteen sets of armor to raise troops to unify the state, which step was not risky?
And if he wins this war, he can annex the Yehe tribe, and from then on the Jurchen tribes will be invincible, and the Jurchen tribe is a tribe that worships the strong, so Nurhachi understands that he does not need to defeat all the tribes, he only needs to become the strongest tribe among the Jurchens, and the other tribes will naturally belong to him.
In other words, as long as this war is successful, the time for his unification of the Jurchens will be at least twenty years earlier!
How could he not be impressed?
"In this battle, I, Amma, sent a total of 17,000 troops, including 5,000 elite soldiers, which is the trump card force in the hands of my Amma, and the Yehe tribe on the opposite side has 15,000 troops, and there are 3,000 Yehe cavalry, but as far as I know now, the Yehe tribe has gathered the four divisions of Hulun this time, and the strength is conservatively estimated to be more than 30,000 people, which is almost twice the strength of my Amma......"
Looking at Zhu Changluo, who suddenly fell silent, Chu Ying felt a little apprehensive in his heart, but he continued to speak.
"Oh? In this way, is Chu Belle optimistic that he can win this battle? ”
Zhu Changluo raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, Chu Ying shook his head firmly and said.
"No, Your Highness, Chu Ying feels that this time Ye Hebu will definitely be defeated!"
"Tell me about it!"
Zhu Changluo suddenly became interested, you must know that the reason why the battle example of winning more with less can be recorded in the military book is because it is less and the conditions are harsh, so it can become a classic war example.
But in the history of war, it is more about winning more and less, and now the four divisions of Hulun are facing Nurhachi with twice the number of troops, and Chu Ying dares to swear so confidently that they will definitely lose, which is not like nonsense.
Chu Ying's face was a little hesitant, and he struggled for a while, but he still spoke.
"Don't hide it from Your Highness, in the original battle of Gule Mountain, the Yehe Department gathered nine troops to attack me, and the strength was more than three times, but it was still defeated by my Amma, not to mention that Yehe City is not a high-walled city that is difficult to overcome, backed by the Yehe River, although the front of the city is a plain, but it is limited to the terrain, and it cannot invest too many troops, so the strength advantage of the four Hulun divisions is actually not as obvious as imagined!"
"So, you mean to fight a long game?"
Zhu Changluo's eyes flickered slightly, and he said softly.
At the beginning of the words, it was easy to say, although Chu Ying still felt a little embarrassed, but the words were no longer hesitant.
"Yes, although there are many troops in the four divisions of Hulun, but the logistics supply is all borne by the Yehe department, so it is difficult to fight with us in terms of consumption, not to mention that although the combat power of the Haixi Jurchens is strong, it is always unable to withstand the sharpness of my armor, plus the logistics of Jianzhou, as long as I am slowly trying to figure it out, I don't seek merit but no fault, and the first one who can't bear it must be the ...... of the Yehe department."
It's no wonder that Chu Ying's words are sloppy, Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers have sharp armor and sufficient logistics, which is all thanks to the blessings of the Ming Dynasty, you know, over the years, the four places of the Jurchen and Daming mutual markets are all within Jianzhou, and Nurhachi has spent so much silver up and down over the years, but it is not in vain.
At least after these silver two dozen points, the economic strength of the Jianzhou Jurchen has been rapidly expanded, which is also the confidence of Nurhachi to be able to fight in the south and the north and repeatedly open the war......
However, Zhu Changluo didn't care, smiled faintly, and said.
"Another point, you didn't say it, the four divisions of Hulun seem to be one, but after all, they are just four alliances, and there are not no contradictions between them, and the Jianzhou Jurchen is different, Nurhachi's position in the Jianzhou Jurchen is unshakable, one is sincerely united, the order is forbidden, and the other is disheartened and intrigued, the two are opposite, and the victory or defeat is self-evident......"
