Chapter 634: It's hard to tell the truth from the fake

Huang Taiji in the acquisition of intelligence, with a very good reliance, Fan Wencheng with a lot of money to establish an intelligence network, these money was originally intended to be used to bring down Su Tiancheng, I didn't expect to be able to bring down Su Tiancheng, but the establishment of an intelligence network, this is also Huang Taiji is more satisfied with the matter, these information, to the Ming Jingshi, Guanning Jin defense line, Datong, Ningxia, Dengzhou, Laizhou intelligence, these are directly involved in the direct interests of the Qing Dynasty.

Su Tiancheng was appointed as the Jiliao Governor in September of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, but it was not until the first month of the twelfth year of Chongzhen that he officially took office.

In the face of Su Tiancheng, the biggest enemy, Huang Taiji's attention has long exceeded the attention to Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Su Tiancheng's many achievements have been continuously gathered into Huang Taiji's hands, looking at this information, he has a heart-pounding feeling, feeling that this Su Tiancheng will definitely pose a fatal threat to the Qing Dynasty.

Fan Wencheng carefully analyzed, for what Su Tiancheng was not in a hurry to take office, it is said that every time Su Tiancheng adjusted his position, he took office in a hurry, especially after being responsible for the extermination of the Liukou, he soon arrived in Sichuan, and couldn't wait to start deploying. Fan Wencheng finally came to the conclusion that Su Tiancheng attached great importance to the Great Qing State and was also prepared to persist in Liaodong for a long time, and Su Tiancheng must have recognized the strong strength of the Great Qing State and would not act rashly.

Huang Taiji agrees with this view, and feels more and more that Su Tiancheng is not simple, he knows the priorities of doing things, and knows how to deal with it. Targeted, such an opponent is terrible.

Because the Jiangning battalion was stationed in Jinzhou and Ningyuan, Huang Taiji ordered that the sergeants of Dalinghe City should not attack easily and should strengthen their vigilance. Prevent any movement of the Jiangning battalion.

Huang Taiji also thought that Su Tiancheng would definitely notice Dalinghe City, this place is important, and it poses a mortal threat to the Guanning Jin defense line, so to speak, as long as Houjin garrisons in Dalinghe, the Ming army in Jinzhou and Ningyuan will be completely contained. Don't dare to move at will, with more than 10,000 soldiers, to contain hundreds of thousands of troops in the Ming Dynasty, this is Huang Taiji's quite proud move, to know that the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops, the court of the Ming Dynasty is difficult to hold on for a long time.

Huang Taiji has full confidence to defend Dalinghe City. Even if it can't be defended, it will destroy the entire Dalinghe City. It's also possible, so that Jinzhou will be directly exposed to the soldiers, and the Ming army will also be uneasy all night.

Huang Taiji looked at the problem more objectively, acknowledging the courage of Jiang Ningying, but he was not afraid of Jiang Ningying, no matter what. The Jiangning battalion is less than 100,000 people, and with these people, if they want to attack the Great Qing Kingdom, it is still too arrogant, as for the Ming army stationed at the border pass. After many battles, Huang Taiji figured out the details and believed that these Ming troops would not pose a mortal threat.

With this understanding, Huang Taiji also made a series of adjustments, and the number of sergeants stationed in Dalinghe City slowly began to increase, focusing on increasing the Han army, including the arrangement of firearms, and there were more, Huang Taiji would not send a lot of Eight Banners to guard Dalinghe City, the main task was still implemented on the head of the Han army, even if Su Tiancheng attacked Dalinghe City and let the Han army deal with the Ming army, this is also a great irony for the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Taiji once personally led troops to attack Dalinghe City, and knew the danger of the terrain of Dalinghe City.

It can be said that the moment Su Tiancheng took office in Liaodong, Huang Taiji's attention was also focused on Dalinghe City.

What makes Huang Taiji a little distressed is that Azig, Dolgon and other generals think of attacking and attacking again, taking advantage of Su Tiancheng's unstable foothold, conducting a big war, and laying down Su Tiancheng's prestige, including Yue Tuo and others, also have this understanding, some are Dai Shan, and have not made a clear statement, as for Fan Wencheng and other Hanchen, their attitude is even more vague, obviously not in favor of attacking, in fact, Huang Taiji has already thought about this problem, Guanning Jin defense line, most of them are under the control of the Ming army, at such a moment, When the army goes to attack, it needs to face many problems such as logistics and supply, if it is still facing the Ming border army, such an attack may not be much of a problem, but in the face of the Jiangning battalion, it needs to think carefully.

Dalinghe City can be used as a stronghold, but the bigger problem exists, Dalinghe City is more than 400 miles away from Shenyang, less than 50 miles away from Jinzhou, from the distance of the distance, the Ming army wants to attack, the distance is much closer, but the Qing Kingdom wants reinforcements, the distance is much farther, although the Eight Banners have outstanding ability to attack, but such risky tactics, the less the better, if there is too much grain and grass in the Dalinghe City, in case it is contributed by the Ming army, the loss of the Great Qing Kingdom is heavy.

These problems plagued Huang Taiji and gave him a headache.

At this time, the information came.

As Huang Taiji expected, Su Tianguo was going to attack Dalinghe City and take Dalinghe City in one fell swoop.

This touched the sore spot of Huang Taiji.

For a long time, for the sake of the overall interests of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji has always been forbearing, so he needs to calm the mood of many generals.

Dai Shan, Azig, Dolgon, Fan Wencheng and others came to the top of the main hall.

"Today, you speak freely, I have learned that Su Tiancheng is about to attack Dalinghe City, the importance of Dalinghe City, there is no need to say more, but I also have a request, you speak freely, say your own opinions, don't attack others."

After making a request, Huang Taiji looked at Dai Shan and spoke.

"Second brother, you're older, let's talk first."

Dai Shan is almost sixty years old, known for his peace, and his prestige is also very good, and the powerful county kings like Azig and Dolgon are not afraid to be angry in front of Dai Shan.

Dai Shan coughed and spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Su Tiancheng is preparing to attack Dalinghe City, whether this information is true or false, or needs to be judged, the army is fighting, it needs to be kept secret, the intelligence shows that Su Tiancheng is preparing to attack Dalinghe City in May, and now it is only March, for what is it to reveal such news, is Su Tiancheng contemptuous of my Qing Dynasty, thinking about demonstrating, such an understanding, put on other Ming army generals, the minister still believes, but Su Tiancheng does this, the possibility is not big. In this way, it is necessary to carefully analyze what Su Tiancheng's purpose is. ”

Huang Taiji nodded, and Azig and Dolgon, who were full of confidence, looked at Dai Shan and did not speak.

"Su Tiancheng did this, nothing more than two purposes, first, thinking that my Qing Dynasty sent heavy troops to defend Dalinghe City, and then the two sides in Dalinghe City, once again launched a decisive battle, this battle can be decided, if my Qing Kingdom wins, the Ming Dynasty's Guanning Jin defense line, there will be a major danger, if Su Tiancheng wins, my Qing Dynasty will be in a very disadvantageous position, second, specifically confuse my Qing Dynasty, I hope that my Qing Dynasty will send heavy troops, handle Dalinghe City, expand the consumption of my Qing Dynasty, now is the season of green and yellow, so consumption, It's still very difficult. ”

"The minister has analyzed it, and I am still not sure, what Su Tiancheng is thinking, it is said that Su Tiancheng's decision to attack Da Ling He will not be made casually, the importance of Da Ling River City to Da Ming is self-evident."

After saying this, Dai Shan lowered his head, which meant that he was finished.

This beginning is the beginning of Huang Taiji's expectation, and next, everyone will conduct an accurate analysis around this meaning to see what the situation is and what kind of arrangements should be made.

The discussion soon began, Azig and Dolgon spoke one after another, the attitude of the two was still the same, the rhetoric was fierce, emphasizing that they should take the initiative to attack, not daring how strong the Jiangning battalion was, coming from afar, not familiar with the terrain of Liaodong, and the children of the Eight Banners were ready to take the Jiangning battalion.

For such a statement, Huang Taiji is obviously unwilling to listen, the Qing Kingdom does not have so many warriors, if the losses are heavy, it is very difficult to replenish, there is a strong opponent like Su Tiancheng, it is a wise move to preserve his own strength and fight a sure battle.

Fan Wencheng didn't speak all the time, in front of Dai Shan and the others, he didn't dare to speak casually, Azig and Dolgon and others could reprimand him at will.

Huang Taiji did not let Fan Wencheng go.

"Wen Cheng, what is your opinion, let's hear it."

Fan Wencheng was very embarrassed, his thoughts must not be reckless, he still needs to be observed, and a lot of intelligence needs to be collected, but such an opinion will definitely be reprimanded.

"Your Majesty, the minions think that it is better to take an offensive posture."

Huang Taiji was stunned for a moment, Azig and Dolgon were also very strange, and they didn't know what Fan Wencheng had changed his mind about.

In fact, Fan Wencheng had no choice but to suffer, if this was Su Tiancheng's bluff, but Su Tiancheng really attacked, Dalinghe City was in danger, he must be in trouble, and asking for an offensive posture was nothing more than consuming some money and food.

This time, Fan Wencheng has to think about himself.

"Wen Cheng, you said it in detail."

"The slave thinks that no matter whether Su Tiancheng is preparing to attack Dalinghe City or not, he can strengthen the defense of Dalinghe, strengthen the strength of the Han army, and ensure that the number of soldiers in Dalinghe City reaches about 30,000, so that even if Su Tiancheng attacks Dalinghe City, it will not be able to take it for a while and a half, if Su Tiancheng really attacks, our army can rush to help, and attack the Ming army inside and outside, and Ding can win a big victory."
