Huang Taiji, who always pays attention to the Ming army, has hardly been able to sleep well, on the one hand, the Ming army launched a large-scale attack, this kind of active attack, I have not seen it for many years, it has always been the initiative of the Qing Dynasty to attack, as long as the Ming army can be stable, it will not attack, generally there is no fighting spirit, and now it actually takes the initiative to attack, which makes Huang Taiji feel that the Ming Dynasty is slowly recovering and strong, if the Qing Dynasty continues to wait like this, or if the Ming Dynasty adopts a strategy of attrition, there will definitely be no good ending, So this time the Ming army's active attack is a very good opportunity, as long as you firmly grasp it, maybe you will be able to find an opportunity to fundamentally shake the Ming court, and even enter the Central Plains, so this opportunity is very precious, as long as the Ming army that came to attack is annihilated, and then break through the Guanning Jin defense line, everything is logical, as long as the Guanning Jin defense line is captured, Huang Taiji will not be afraid of Su Tiancheng and Jiangning Ying.

But the affairs of the harem also made Huang Taiji worried, Concubine Chen's body has not been good, but it is getting more and more serious, although Fan Wencheng persuaded himself that he must focus on national affairs, but people have feelings, and Huang Taiji can not be an exception, he has unusual feelings for Concubine Chen, always remember Concubine Chen's body, and say that the old man's feelings are not ordinary, this is the best testimony of the fifty-two-year-old Huang Taiji, to the thirty-three-year-old Concubine Hai Lanzhu, it hurts to the bones.

Although both sides are tormented, the tenacious Huang Taiji is still able to control his emotions and pay close attention to the situation in Liaodong.

After Chen Xinjia captured the Black Mountain City, he suddenly stopped, and began to hold on to the Black Mountain City. The news of the gradual removal of threats around Montenegro came as quickly as possible.

Huang Taiji immediately felt the pressure, and at the same time, Fan Wencheng endured even greater suffering.

Because of the mistake in judging the loss of Montenegro, Azig was very unconvinced. Always thinking that he could find an opportunity to sarcastically or sarcastically mock Fan Wencheng, now that such news is coming, how can Azig not seize it, but Azig still knows how to be measured, and now the most important task is to annihilate the Ming army that came to attack, and the rest of the things. Don't occupy the main position.

A controversy ensued.

It's still those people, this time, it was Azig who spoke first, and he was also directly aimed at Fan Wencheng.

"Lord Fan, you analyze that the next offensive of the Ming army will be to quickly attack Yizhou, but this is not the case now, if Chen Xinjia sticks to Montenegro. Not going to go on the offensive anymore, all the arrangement. Isn't it all in vain? ”

Fan Wencheng's face was a little discouraged, Chen Xinjia was doing what he was doing, he was also thinking hard, could it be that Chen Xinjia's purpose was really just to slowly advance step by step, after occupying Montenegro. Strengthen the defense of Montenegro and no longer attack, if such a situation really occurs, it is a major mistake of its own, and hundreds of thousands of troops are ready. This is no small matter.

But after careful thinking and analysis, Fan Wencheng denied such a possibility, the Ming army dispatched 100,000 troops, if it only occupied Montenegro, it was not necessary, such a consumption of manpower and material resources was definitely not the practice and habit of the Ming army.

The reason why he is not completely sure is that Fan Wencheng is most worried about Su Tiancheng.

After many battles, Fan Wencheng has already noticed that Su Tiancheng is a very difficult opponent to deal with, and it can almost be said that he is an opponent who is unlikely to defeat, although the commander of the army is Chen Xinjia, but Chen Xinjia is only the governor of Liaodong, and Su Tiancheng is the governor of Jiliao, if this expedition is Su Tiancheng operating in secret, then everything is possible.

Fan Wencheng is also unwilling, could it be said that Su Tiancheng is really so godly, he is so hidden, the information from Liaodong, Su Tiancheng has never returned to Liaodong at all, more than a year has passed, besides, the most important thing is that Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, how can he trust Su Tiancheng so much, aren't you afraid that Su Tiancheng's power is too great and threatens the emperor's throne, if Su Tiancheng really has such a great ability to completely settle Emperor Chongzhen, then it is unlikely to leave Liaodong.

Thinking too hard, so that Fan Wencheng couldn't bear it, and in the face of Azig's question, Fan Wencheng cheered up and answered.

"King Yingwu, the slave thinks that Chen Xinjia stopped attacking, it is only a temporary situation, first, this is the first time Chen Xinjia led the army to conquer, and it must be guaranteed to be foolproof, so the action is slow, Chen Xinjia set off from Dalinghe City, Dalinghe City is only a hundred miles away from Montenegro, but the army led by Chen Xinjia has walked for three days, it can be seen that Chen Xinjia is very cautious, from this point of view, Chen Xinjia is temporarily stationed in Montenegro, and it can also be explained. In the second aspect, the army led by Chen Xinjia won the first battle, and if the minions were expected to be good, Chen Xinjia must have reported the good news to Emperor Chongzhen. ”

Fan Wencheng's explanation, Azig is obviously not satisfied, not to mention Azig, even Hauge feels a little far-fetched, to know that the Ming army led by Chen Xinjia has been deployed around Montenegro, as if it is to prepare for a long-term station.

"Master Fan, this operational analysis matter, can not rely entirely on judgment, your explanation, all come up with your head, if the situation really changes, then what should I do, can it be said that the army killed Montenegro and forcibly recaptured Montenegro, the artillery of the Ming army is sharp, I am afraid it is not so easy to recapture Montenegro."

Fan Wencheng was a little stuttering, he didn't know how to continue to explain, the time was too tight, he needed time to think, and in a hurry, it was impossible to make more explanations.

The identities of Hauge and Azig are different, Fan Wencheng's loyalty to the Qing Kingdom, loyalty to his father, he sees it in his eyes, it should be said that many of Fan Wencheng's analyses do have a significant role, but the importance of this war to the Qing Kingdom, Haoge is also clear.

"Lord Fan, what you said does have some truth, but now the situation is different, I still have 100,000 warriors in the Qing Dynasty, who are stationed in Xiping Fort, waiting for the best time to set off, my father is sitting in Guangning, commanding 100,000 troops, all the purpose is to completely annihilate the attacking Ming army, break through the Ming Dynasty's Guanning Jin defense line, in this case, you need to get accurate information, including the next move of the Ming army, if there is a deviation in these information, the consequences are unimaginable."

Hauge's words were more tactful, but he also named the situation.

Many officers believe that once the strength reaches a certain level, no matter what kind of strategy the other side uses, it will be useless, as for the overall deployment and arrangement, it is a matter of consideration by the commander, such an understanding has almost become a habit, which is why Huang Taiji attaches great importance to Fan Wencheng, and the rest of the Manchu nobles are not very interested in Fan Wencheng.

Huang Taiji is also trying to find a way to change this situation, it is not enough to rely on force, but also to have enough wisdom, so that it is possible to truly lead the army, but unfortunately he can't completely get rid of the rules, if the officers below, all of them are extraordinary, how can they maintain their own rule.

After the Ming army captured the city of Montenegro, the measures made also made Huang Taiji worried, after all, this strategy to lure the enemy into depth, requires the cooperation of the other party, if Chen Xinjia suddenly decides not to attack, the Ming army will be stationed in Montenegro, gradually stabilize the surrounding area of Montenegro, choose the right time to attack again, then Huang Taiji will face great difficulties.

The consumption of 200,000 troops is huge, it is impossible to maintain it for a long time, the Great Qing Kingdom has always been unaccustomed to a long-term war of attrition, unless it is a last resort, think about the battle of the Great Ling River in Chongzhen's four years, the consumption of the Great Qing Dynasty is also huge, and the conquest that lasted for several months made the country a little empty.

But Huang Taiji is worthy of a generation of heroes, he believes in his own judgment, but also believes in Fan Wencheng's analysis, after all, the decision is in his own hands, no matter how Fan Wencheng analyzes, it is he who makes the final decision.

"Needless to say, what to panic about, at the beginning of the Ming army's attack, it was natural to be cautious, from Dalinghe City to Montenegro, but a hundred miles, Chen Xinjia took three days to complete this area of a hundred miles, it can be seen that he is very cautious, after taking Montenegro, naturally he also needs to take a rest, Wen Cheng's analysis is completely correct, what do you have to worry about, but after a day or two, I am so anxious, at least I have no patience, how to lead the army to fight, don't continue to talk about this matter, Let's all go back and get ready, Chen Xinjia's next step is to attack Yizhou, we still have time to make sufficient preparations, I don't want any accidents. ”

Huang Taiji's words settled everything, and the suspicion of Fan Wencheng naturally did not exist, because these were all decisions made by Huang Taiji, and Haoge and Azig and others would never doubt Huang Taiji.

After everyone left, Fan Wencheng stayed.

"Slave thanks to the emperor's trust."

"Wen Cheng, don't say that, your analysis is accurate, I have to reprimand some people, the slightest wind and grass will make you impatient, they are actually targeting you, I know very well."

Fan Wencheng perked up.

"Your Majesty, the minion can use the head to vouch, Chen Xinjia will definitely continue to attack, the minion just now has a reason not to say, even if Chen Xinjia doesn't want to attack, I'm afraid Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty and the imperial court will not agree."

Huang Taiji smiled and nodded, he also knew that Emperor Chongzhen, who had been suppressed by the Great Qing State for a long time, would definitely urge the attack after having such an opportunity, and would never stop easily. (To be continued......)
