After the Qing army retreated to Shengjing, there was less news from the Ming Dynasty.

In recent years, the Qing Dynasty has successfully confused many Ming soldiers and civilians through various ways of inducement, whether it is peacetime or wartime, the high-level Jiannu can get the news of the Ming court or the Ming army through various channels in a timely manner.

Even in many cases, they were able to respond through these surrenderers and capture the cities of the Ming Dynasty without blood.

However, after the defeat in the Battle of Songshan, the news obtained by the Manchus through this channel also decreased significantly, and it was almost a month after Cao Yue took office in Datong that the news reached Shengjing and was learned by Duoduo.

Hearing that Cao Yue had come to Datong to take up a post and only brought 3,000 men and horses, and that the Datong soldiers had almost lost all their losses in the Battle of Songshan, Duoduo was overjoyed and immediately thought that this was the best time to take revenge, so he ran to Dolgon in a hurry and asked for orders to go south.

After listening to what Duo Duo said, Dolgon's heart was instantly moved, and he subconsciously thought that this was a good opportunity to take revenge on his blood hatred and annihilate Cao Yue's men. However, Dorgon was not an ordinary person after all, and he would not think that things would be as frivolous as Dodor, and the changes he had just experienced in the Qing Dynasty and the mission he was now shouldering on his shoulders had taught him to think more carefully.

He didn't reply to Duoduo's request immediately, but frowned and asked Duoduo about the situation in detail, and then seriously thought about it.

Eventually, Dorgon shook his head slowly, disagreeing with Dorgon's plea.

"Brother Fourteen, why is this?" Dordort was surprised, not expecting that Dorgon would disagree with his plea.

"There is only one reason, and that is the season and the weather," Dolgon walked to the door of the big tent with his hands behind his back, looked at the bleak weather outside, and said in a low voice: "Fifteenth brother, it is already a harsh winter, and there have been a few light snows in Liaodong, and the first heavy snow of this winter is about to fall in the past few days." From Shengjing to Datong, it will take more than half a month at the earliest, and if the weather gets bad, it will take longer. The advantage of our Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty is the rapid assault of the cavalry, if it is covered with heavy snow, the advantage of the cavalry will not be brought into play at all, and it is likely that they will be trapped by bad weather. ”

Speaking of this, Dorgon sighed slightly, and looked at Dorgon with a little silence, "Fifteenth brother, if the time is another month earlier, then I will not hesitate to agree to your raid plan, and I believe that you will succeed." But now, it's not a good time to attack. I Daqing has lost in Songshan Caoyue, and the morale of Daqing is low, and we can no longer afford another defeat, so we still have to be cautious!"

Dolgon's words instantly extinguished most of the arrogance in Duoduo's heart, and after thinking about it carefully, Duoduo also recognized what Dolgon said, and was speechless for a while. But after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly raised his head, and his eyes flashed with excitement.

"Fourteenth brother, the younger brother thinks that it is precisely because of the weather that we can plan this raid battle. I believe that the Ming army did not expect that our Qing army would suddenly move south in the harsh winter, when heavy snow covered the fields, and they would definitely not take precautions. The Datong town army has been reduced to nothing in the Battle of Songshan, and even if Cao Yue has the ability, he has no soldiers to fight, and he has no way to resist the iron cavalry of our Qing army. After he arrived in Datong, even if he immediately began to recruit new soldiers, when he had combat strength, it would be at least half a year and a year later. Therefore, the younger brother thinks that now is a good time to lead the army to attack Datong and take revenge! And ......"

Hearing Dodor say this, a smile appeared on Dorgon's face, and he did not ask anything, but motioned for Dorgon to come in and say more.

Duoduo also immediately followed Dolgon back to the fireplace, and he continued as he walked: "Fourteenth brother, this time Cao Yue led the army to attack Shengjing, but we didn't expect that he would be succeeded by him in negligence. Don't you often say that soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and we can also lead Cao Yue and beat the Nanming barbarians by surprise. The area from Datong to Beijing is full of plains, which are very suitable for cavalry marching, and even if we encounter trouble, the Ming army with a rabble will not be able to trap us. Fourteenth brother, you will allow me to lead a group of men to the south and attack Datong in a hurry! If you wait for the next year, maybe Datong will be strong, and sending a large army to the south at that time may not be successful. ”

Dorgon already agreed with what Duoduo said in his heart, but he didn't express his position immediately, but asked Duoduo rhetorically: "Fifteenth brother, if you really lead the army to attack Datong, how will you fight this battle?" If Datong can't be broken, but is surrounded by the Ming army, then how can you solve it? ”

"Brother Fourteen, if you give me 20,000 horses, I am sure to break through Datong." Duoduo's face flashed with excitement, and he said with a little excitement: "There are not many defenders in Datong, and they can't imagine that our Qing army will surprise in the harsh winter, so they shouldn't be strictly guarded, if our army makes a surprise attack, it will definitely be successful." If I can't succeed because of an accident, I can lead the army to Beijing and burn and loot in the vicinity of Beijing, so that even if I fail to achieve the original goal, I can greatly deter the Southern Ming barbarians. Presumably Chongzhen will also be scared half to death, don't think about it this year. ”

Duoduo paused again, lowered his voice and said: "If we abandon Datong and go to Beijing to attack, we release rumors, saying that this is a conspiracy between us and Cao Yue, not attacking Datong, but attacking Beijing is to help Cao Yue achieve a great cause, maybe Emperor Chongzhen will clear Cao Yue for us." ”

"Haha, fifteenth brother, you are really getting better and better," Dolgon's expression was overjoyed when he heard this, and he reached out and patted Duoduo's shoulder vigorously, "You are getting more and more smart, and the fourteenth brother is very pleased." In the future, you can stand alone. Okay, this time your request, the fourteenth brother agreed, you lead the elite of the two white flags, plus 10,000 Mongolian eight banners, a total of 20,000 people to attack Datong, and strive to capture Datong, and capture Cao Yuesheng back to Shengjing to pay tribute to my ancestors of the Qing Dynasty. ”

"Thank you Brother Fourteen," Duoduo didn't expect that he had persuaded Dolgon, and he was overjoyed at the moment, so he quickly got up and thanked him: "Please rest assured, Brother Fourteen, the younger brother will definitely bring the elite of the two white flags back to Shengjing, and find a way to capture Cao Yuesheng back to Shengjing!"

"Brother Fourteen, I hope you can return triumphantly!" Dorgon punched Dodor in the chest and burst out laughing.

Dordor punched back, and the two brothers hugged each other, patted each other on the shoulder, and laughed loudly.

Dorgon let go of Dodor and pointed to the felt by the fire, "Fifteenth brother, let's discuss the situation of this dispatch in detail!"

"I would like to listen to the teachings of the fourteenth brother!"

After the two brothers had discussed at length for an hour, Dodor took his leave and went to prepare.

Dolgon, on the other hand, continued to sit by the fire, staring at the map on the desk that showed the contrast of power between the Ming and Qing dynasties.

After a while, a Goshha walked over lightly and knelt down to salute: "Master, Concubine Zhuang is asking to see her outside the tent!"

"Oh, Concubine Zhuang, Yu'er?" Dolgon was suddenly awakened, his face showed joy, and he immediately ordered Goshha to say: "Let Concubine Zhuang come in immediately, and in the future, Concubine Zhuang will come over, no need to report, just let her in!"

"Oh, the minion obeys!"
