Su Tiancheng led the Jiangning battalion to attack the grassland, and asked the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe to cooperate, it is said that it hit the sore spot of Huang Taiji, no matter what, Huang Taiji could not lose the support of the Mongolian tribe, and the queen is a person from the Horqin grassland tribe, the deceased Concubine Hai Lanzhu is also a person from the Horqin grassland tribe, and Huang Taiji's Concubine Zhuang Da Yu'er, who is also a person from the Horqin tribe, Hai Lanzhu and Da Yu'er are sisters.

But Huang Taiji is not so anxious, there is a reason for this, the grassland tribe is used to nomadism, the residence is not particularly fixed, this is different from the Guannei, in this case, not very familiar with the situation of the grassland tribe, it is difficult to lock the location of the tribe, and the environment on the grassland is completely different from the Guannei, not to mention the harsh climate, rare people, the black storm on the grassland, it is also very deadly, if it is not done well, thousands of troops and horses may be swallowed up.

Huang Taiji knew that Su Tiancheng was good at using troops, and the artillery battalion and Shenji battalion under the jurisdiction of the Jiangning battalion were very powerful, but Su Tiancheng's battles were basically in Guannei and Liaodong, including Fuzhou and Xuanzhou, and other places, mainly attacking cities and villages, as for fighting in the grassland, I am afraid it was not so sharp.

Huang Taiji will not despise Su Tiancheng and the Jiangning battalion, after all, the results of the Jiangning battalion are there, and Zhenghongqi has suffered a devastating blow, such a battle is not something that ordinary troops can create.

When Haoge left Shenyang, Huang Taiji secretly told him that if the Horqin tribe and the Chahar tribe were ready, they should not wait for the rabbit, but for the time being, they would not assist the Han tribe and the Khalkha tribe, and asked the Han tribe and the Khalkha tribe to actively respond to the war. Preserve strength, do not start a head-on confrontation with the Jiangning battalion, take advantage of the familiarity with the grassland terrain, maneuver with the Jiangning battalion, and the army penetrates directly into the Hetao area, ending the nest of the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe. The sergeants of these two tribes have gone out to conquer, and the tribal garrison must be very empty, taking advantage of this time, launching a surprise attack, and after achieving victory, it can basically destroy the confidence of the sergeants of the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe.

The information provided by Fan Wencheng basically determined the trajectory of the Jiangning battalion, which set off from the direction of Yizhou and entered the grassland. The soldiers of the Great Qing Kingdom have evacuated Yizhou, at this time, Huang Taiji's focus has been placed on how the grassland tribes fight, Huang Taiji can conclude that this time the Jiangning battalion conquered the Mongolian grassland, and the leader of the army in person must be Su Tiancheng, because the battle of the grassland tribe is too important.

After the army entered the steppe. Everything has changed in front of you, and the vast grasslands and deserts have become the main scenery. Under the blue sky and white clouds, it used to be a pleasant scenery, but unfortunately it is winter, it is the coldest time of the year, the grassland is full of snow, and the temperature is below freezing. If you are not careful, you may get frostbitten, which also makes Su Tiancheng a lot more careful, the speed of the army is not very fast.

The assembly site chosen by the army was in Fengzhen, not far from the Great Wall.

Fengzhen is a very small market town. Compared to the market town of Kannai, this place cannot be regarded as a market town, because outside the Great Wall, it is often invaded by Mongolian tribes, and there are very few people living here, and in winter, there are almost no people to be seen.

In order to prevent the leakage of the army's itinerary, after the army arrived in Fengzhen, they immediately controlled this place, Su Tiancheng was very cautious, although Fengzhen is small, but the location is very important, and sometimes, this is also the place where the Mongol tribes traded with the Datong border army, although this transaction was extremely secret.

More than 300 miles away from Fengzhen, is the station of the right wing front banner of the Chahar tribe, the Chahar tribe is one of the largest tribes in the grassland, the place where the tribe is stationed, is not in the same place, the middle flag and the rear flag of the right wing of the tribe are stationed in different places, the first thing the Jiangning battalion has to strike, is the right wing of the Chahar tribe front flag, middle flag and rear flag.

The difficulty of the battle is self-evident, the sergeants of the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe rushed from the Hetao area to make peace with the Jiangning camp, and along the way they need to pass through the stations of the Tumut tribe and the Dzungar tribe, they must be very careful to avoid these two tribes, not to cause a shock on the grassland, to avoid the many tribes of the grassland to reconcile, and join forces to fight.

Su Tiancheng also has his own analysis, since Huang Taiji knows that the Jiangning battalion is going to attack the Mongolian tribes, he will never sit idly by, and will make certain arrangements, but Huang Taiji also has difficulties, that is, Liaodong and Haizhou and other places, which involve Huang Taiji's troops, so that he does not dare to mobilize large troops into the grassland, if this is the case, Su Tiancheng will not care whether the capital is negotiating, and will definitely lead the army to attack Gaizhou, Yaozhou and Haizhou and other places, it is precisely because of the involvement of the Ming army, Huang Taiji was only able to draw a small scale and enter the Mongolian steppe to fight.

The intelligence from Shenyang also proved Su Tiancheng's judgment, Huang Zaisheng in Shenyang did not find any signs of large-scale army movements, and Duoduo also launched many small-scale attacks in Xiuyan and Phoenix City, all of which showed that the army of Houjin was still stationed in Haizhou, Guangning, Shenyang and other places.

In the direction of Fengzhen, the army of the Mongolian tribe was not found, and the scouts had to go out to reconnoiter every day, enduring the severe cold climate, Liu Tiehan even personally led the scouts to reconnoiter within a radius of 100 miles, and did not find anything, which also shows that the information from the past in Liaodong confused Huang Taiji, and made Huang Taiji think that the Jiangning camp army would still enter the Mongolian steppe from Yizhou, and first attack the Han tribe and the Khalkha tribe.

Su Tiancheng understands that time is very precious, Huang Taiji will not be fooled for a long time, the Jiangning camp army will not be able to reach Liaodong for a long time, and it will inevitably cause suspicion if it cannot be stationed in Yizhou, but the current time is a little special, the Spring Festival is the most important festival of the Han nation, and the Jiangning camp can use this festival to temporarily confuse Huang Taiji.

The armies of the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe must rush to Fengzhen as quickly as possible, and after the three-way army will meet, it will determine the operational deployment and will directly attack the front, middle and rear banners of the right wing of the Chahar tribe, the Jiangning battalion is responsible for attacking the most powerful middle banner, the Xibe tribe is responsible for attacking the front banner, and the Dauria tribe is responsible for attacking the rear banner.

Shenyang, Chongzheng Palace.

Huang Taiji has begun to worry, according to the information provided by Fan Wencheng, the Jiangning battalion should be stationed in Yizhou, but the information from the direction of Liaodong, Lu Xiangsheng is still preparing, and he has not seen the trace of the sergeant of the Jiangning battalion.

If Su Tiancheng didn't plan to attack from the direction of Yizhou, the problem would not be very big, but Huang Taiji's deployment would be affected somewhat, and it was best to accurately grasp the trajectory of the Jiangning battalion.

What made Huang Taiji a little frustrated was that the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe were not able to fight, in this regard, Fan Wencheng spent a lot of thought, as long as the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe fought with each other, all Su Tiancheng's plans would be in vain.

Fan Wencheng's face was a little pale, during this time, analyzing a lot of information took a lot of Fan Wencheng's energy.

Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng.

"Wen Cheng, during this time, you have worked very hard, you still have to pay attention to your body."

Dai Shan on the side also spoke.

"Lord Fan, what the emperor said is yes, you still have to pay attention to your body."

Fan Wencheng hurriedly replied.

"Your Majesty, Prince Rui, the slave has nothing to do, but the slave is also a little worried, it has been so long, for what is the direction of Yizhou, there is still no movement, these two days, the slave has thought carefully, it will be the Spring Festival soon, if it is the twenty-fourth of the lunar month, there is no movement in the direction of Yizhou, then there are two possibilities, the first is that the sergeant of the Jiangning battalion will attack after the Spring Festival, after the Spring Festival, the climate of the grassland will slowly begin to warm, such climatic conditions are conducive to conquest, The second is that the Jiangning battalion has changed the route of the attack and will not attack from the direction of Yizhou, but this possibility is not too great, judging from the intelligence of Liaodong, Lu Xiangsheng is still actively preparing. ”

Huang Taiji nodded and looked at Dai Shan.

Dai Shan thought for a moment.

"The Han people are very concerned about the Spring Festival, the minister has some understanding, the Han people in Liaodong, no matter what they see, they are going to celebrate the Spring Festival, the minister feels that Lord Fan's analysis is reasonable, maybe the expedition during the Spring Festival, there is a great difficulty, so Su Tiancheng made a decision, after the Spring Festival began to conquer, as for whether the Jiangning battalion has changed the route of attack, this point needs to be noted, Yizhou, Datong, Yulin and Anningbao and other directions, must be closely monitored."

Dai Shan is tantamount to speaking for Fan Wencheng.

After Dai Shan finished speaking, Fan Wencheng spoke again.

"Your Majesty, Prince Rui, the thing that the minions regret the most is that the fight between the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe has not been able to start ......"

Before Fan Wencheng could finish speaking, Huang Taiji spoke.

"Wen Cheng, what has passed, don't mention it again, no matter what, you have made your greatest efforts, what you need to think about now is which direction Su Tiancheng will attack from, my thoughts, Su Tiancheng will definitely personally lead the army to conquer the grassland tribes, the Spring Festival is coming soon, it may be due to the holiday, so the Jiangning camp has not moved for a long time, but it is still necessary to pay close attention, the direction of Datong and Yulin, we must pay close attention, as for the direction of Anningbao, I think the possibility is not large, If Su Tiancheng led the Jiangning battalion and directly entered the Hetao grassland, delaying time, I don't think Su Tiancheng would make such a choice. ”

As he spoke, Huang Taiji stood up.

"The battle in the Mongolian steppe must arouse great attention, Haoge led the army, has entered the Mongolian steppe, if there is any change in the battle situation in the steppe, I will continue to send a large army into the steppe, second brother, if your body can withstand it, prepare to lead the soldiers with red flags into the steppe."
