The Ming Dynasty fought without a fight and took the Acropolis of Haizhou.

Although the Acropolis of Haizhou was set on fire by the Tartars before leaving, it did not affect the joy of the Ming Dynasty to receive the Acropolis of Haizhou.

Haizhou Wei, the former acropolis of the Ming Dynasty, is now back in the hands of the Ming Dynasty again.

……

Sun Chengzong has been waiting for news from the front, according to expectations, this time to attack the Haizhou Acropolis, there should be no big obstacles, it should be easier, as long as the army reaches the Haizhou Acropolis, it will win.

According to the speed of the car battalion, within one day, it will definitely be able to march to Haizhouwei. In the morning, Sun Chengzong watched the army march with apprehension, and has been waiting for news since then.

Although careful preparations had been made in advance and fine arrangements had been made, Sun Chengzong could not calm down in the battle that decided the life and death of the Ming Dynasty.

Late at night, the news was finally delivered to Sun Chengzong.

"Okay, good......" Sun Chengzong read the letter, and said three good in a row, and the whole person finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense spirit was relaxed.

"Elder Ge, but my Da Ming won?" In the war room, there has always been a staff officer on duty, and when he saw Sun Chengzong saying three good things in a row, he couldn't help but ask.

"After winning the Acropolis of Haizhou, as expected, there was no large-scale battle......," Sun Chengzong said, and Sun Chengzong gave an affirmative answer to the inquiries of his staff officers.

The entire war room was boiling, and everyone suppressed their joy and celebrated each other. This is indeed rare good news, it can be regarded as a good start, and the East Lu lacks even the courage to stop the army, and to a certain extent, it does confirm all kinds of information of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

The news spread quickly throughout the Sancha River.

The Sancha River, which had been silent, was immediately shrouded in many stars, passing on and sharing this joy with each other.

Sun Chengzong's face was red. However, in this night, it is not so obvious to see.

"After taking the Haizhou Acropolis, that is to say, you can rely on the Haizhou Acropolis as a stronghold to advance the range of the battlefield to the east for another fifty miles, so that there will be a range of one hundred and fifty miles......" Sun Chengzong repeatedly measured the distance with a ruler on the map, and finally came to this conclusion.

Winning Haizhou Wei is not a big achievement, but it is a very important part of the entire operation. Relying on the Acropolis of Haizhou, it is easy to extend its tentacles deeper inland, to the nest of the eastern captives. Now the Ming Dynasty is strong and strong, and the last thing it is afraid of is consumption, the Ming Dynasty can afford to consume, and the Eastern Captives cannot afford to consume, and the Ming Dynasty is not afraid of fighting scout wars.

"Ge Lao, I have won the Acropolis of Haizhou, I am afraid that I will win three points in this battle......" There was a staff officer on the side.

"Yes, it is said that the first voice will win people, and I have clearly achieved the first voice, and the morale and morale of the East are not as good as before." Sun Chengzong also sighed. According to the analysis of the battle report sent back, the Tartars only sent more than 10,000 people to make a show, and the large group of people did not even come, which is enough to explain a lot of things.

"Ge Lao, now that the scout battle is so fierce, the Tartars don't know that once our dynasty occupies the Acropolis of Haizhou, the impact on them, knowing that they will not come, the Tartars have indeed withered badly, and they are no longer brave before, but they used to release cruel words, which are invincible, but now it seems that they are also empty words, big words......" The staff officers were hotly discussed. This seems to outsiders to be a bit indiscriminate, but in fact, this is indeed a very common thing in the General Staff.

"Ge Lao, even if all the Tartars come, my army is not afraid of him at all, if you want to confront my army, there must be at least fifty or sixty thousand people, are there still so many people in the Tartars? …… Even if there is, do you dare to come all? Lin Dan Khan's side is still suffering, and when he learns that all the Dongyu have come to entangle with me, how can he give up? ”

In the war room, the staff officers talked about it with you and me.

Sun Chengzong is happy to let these staff officers discuss by themselves, the wisdom of one person is limited, but the wisdom of the group is unlimited, and it is more useful to count on everyone to be Zhuge Liang, it is better to match ordinary people with more stinkers. The more you fight, the more problems you can find, and the more problems you can avoid.

"How, can you argue with a result?" After Sun Chengzong waited for the staff officers to argue for a while, he asked with a smile, and asked back to ask, in fact, Sun Chengzong knew it in his heart, and asking was just to test these staff officers. …,

"Back to the old man, the students have already achieved results." One of them said.

"Oh, tell me about it." Sun Chengzong was in a pretty good mood.

"Back to the elders, the students believe that they should temporarily stabilize the existing situation, there is no need to urge the army to continue to attack, there is the Haizhou Acropolis, scattered to fight the scout battle, the Donglu has to fight, you can further consume the strength of the Dongyu, after understanding the local terrain, rivers, etc., and then advance forward, the most secure, in addition, it will take a certain amount of time to send food supplies to the Haizhou Acropolis, therefore, the students believe that the most important thing is to consolidate the results of the battle, and do not rush to seek full success......" The staff officer who took the lead said loudly.

Sun Chengzong listened and smiled. This inference is basically the same as what he considered. According to the emperor's strategy, it should be to force the Donglu to go west, the Ming Dynasty followed behind into the grassland, if the decisive battle with the Donglu in Liaodong, it is not beautiful, of course, this strategy, the implementation, there is considerable difficulty, must be well mastered a degree, can not force the Donglu to a decisive battle, can not beat the Dongyu too hard, can not let the Dongyu see the hope of victory, must continue to wear down the strength of the Dongyu, a gradually weakened Dongyu is a safe Dongyu, based on this premise, Sun Chengzong will not force the Dongyu decisive battle, But it will definitely not let the East Lu live in peace, will not let the East Lu live a good life, the cruel scout war, and constantly wear down the strength of the East Lu, this is for sure, we must continue to squeeze the East Lu, so that the East Lu in the east, the south can not see any hope and have to look at the west.

"Yes, that's right, this pavilion also thinks so, come and send an order to the commander-in-chief Qin...... no, it's still the pavilion to write a letter in person...... "Sun Chengzong is in an extremely good mood and is ready to write a letter in person. Of course, in addition to writing a letter to Qin Liangyu, he also had to send a letter to the capital to explain the situation here.

……

The news of the loss of the Haizhou Acropolis was also delivered to Huang Taiji overnight.

It's been as deep as it gets, and it's quiet.

Fan Wencheng was called up in the middle of the night and came over to discuss things.

Maybe it's bad sleep, maybe it's the dim lights, or maybe it's the bad news, in short, Huang Taiji's face is very bad.

Fan Wencheng just glanced at Huang Taiji and lowered his gaze.

"Xiandou, Haizhou Wei is lost, and the second brother can't even do the least to block it, but he retreated with a single shot......" Huang Taiji's face was quite ugly. Even though it was expected, it was hard to accept that it happened. Last year's war with the Ming Dynasty, he Dajin was injured, with many casualties, not only hurt the vitality, but also hurt the heart, and now he is fighting with the Ming Dynasty, and there are always pimples in his heart.

Fan Wencheng lowered his head even lower, which was just something he had expected in advance.

"Great Khan, Haizhou Wei is too close to the sea, completely under the Ming Dynasty's soldiers, it is really unwise to defend Haizhou Wei......" Fan Wencheng could only be so comforted.

"Yes......" Huang Taiji said helplessly, now, in the face of the pressure of the Ming Dynasty, it is too great, last year lost too badly, and now against the Ming Dynasty, there is no such spirit to win. In the past, 10,000 horses could walk sideways in front of tens of thousands of Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers, and they didn't care about the reaction of the Ming Dynasty at all, and they could even form a counterpressure on tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, so that the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers could not dare to come out in the city. But now it doesn't work, Huang Taiji knows that if the Ming Dynasty knows that there are only 10,000 horses, it will definitely swarm up and kill them in a swarm, and the good thing of relying on 10,000 people to suppress tens of thousands of horses in the Ming Dynasty does not exist. It seems that for the Ming Dynasty, the head is the victory, and the loss of oneself can not be considered. In the face of this helpless way of fighting, Huang Taiji was helpless, what he couldn't afford to lose the most was people, and the behemoth of the Ming Dynasty, even if he defeated more than 100,000 horses at a time, he could gather more than 100,000 horses to fight again. Huang Taiji felt that this was unfair, Dajin only needed to lose once, and he would lose completely, while in the Ming Dynasty, if he lost once, he would have a chance to come again, and if he lost again, he could come again.

There was silence in the sweat tent, Huang Taiji didn't speak, and Fan Wencheng didn't want to say more, this bad news was one after another, and he said too much, but I was afraid that it was not a good thing.

"By the way, Kendou, among those bounty hunters in the south, are there any other people who can pass on the news and use it? If I don't win a big game as soon as possible, I'm afraid that my Dajin will become more and more unfavorable......" Huang Taiji asked again. …,

Fan Wencheng's face became even darker, his head lowered even lower, and he only dared to think about it for a moment before replying: "Back to Da Khan, most of the groups of people I used to contact are now disconnected...... Fan Wencheng hurriedly said. In order to deal with the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji tried to find a way, the Ming Dynasty sent spies in the capital, and there were spies in the south of Liaodong, Huang Taiji spent a lot of money and bought a few groups of bounty hunters, in order not to startle the snake, even if the more important news was transmitted back from those bounty hunters, Huang Taiji also pretended not to do this, in order to play a key role in the future decisive battle, how do you know that the war has just begun, Those who were bought disappeared immediately, and the line was broken, perhaps the Ming Dynasty found out, or maybe it was because the Ming Dynasty felt that the Ming Dynasty's winning side was too big, and they did not dare to bet on Huang Taiji's side, for fear of being discovered by the Ming Dynasty.

"Damn it, a bunch of liars......" Huang Taiji couldn't help but curse viciously, this was originally a secret chess piece he had buried, but now, it was abolished and did not play his due role.

Fan Wencheng could only be silent, not daring to talk, for fear of touching his head.

There was silence for a while, and in this silent night, the night seemed to freeze.

"Tell me, what should Ben Khan do now? The Ming Dynasty is powerful, and they are all elites, and their strength is not inferior to my Dajin, and they use the Che Ying, and they are not afraid of my Dajin's small-scale attacks on the back roads of grain and grass, and it is difficult to drag the Ming Dynasty" Huang Taiji said with pain and helplessness.

"Back to the Great Khan, the best thing now is to go west, if you can snatch more tribes in the hands of Lin Dan Khan, then my Dajin can recover its vitality, if it can be combined with Tumut and Woerdusi, then my Dajin's strength is even stronger, and I can use the grassland to confront the Ming Dynasty......" Fan Wencheng is also reluctant to say more about how to stop the Ming Dynasty, this is a very difficult thing, to say this, it is better to say that it is better to go west, and it is much greater to fight Lin Dan Khan than to fight the Ming Dynasty.

"...... westward march, the foundation of the ancestors should not be easily abandoned, Xiandou said, how to repel the Ming army." Huang Taiji is prepared for going west, but he still doesn't want to easily abandon what he already has, Dajin now has Shengjing, and there are several good cities, in this regard, it is actually more "wide" than Lin Dan Khan, Huang Taiji knows that once he enters the grassland, he will become a "wild man", although Fan Wencheng said very attractively, what occupies the grassland can follow the "ancestors" and sweep the whole world, but Huang Taiji also knows that in fact, even Lin Dan Khan's "capital" is just the scale of the "county seat" of the Ming Dynasty, I really entered the grassland, but it was really a different situation. Today's Shengjing is the first city outside this pass.

"......" Fan Wencheng sweated for a while, not to say westward, not to say good, to say that this frustrated ......, the pressure is very high

"Great Khan, Wen Cheng thinks that it is really unwise to fight a decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty is prepared, and my Dajin morale and troops are not as good as the Ming Dynasty, and the odds of winning are really not much when it comes to fighting......," Fan Wencheng said stiffly.

"Xiandou makes sense, it is indeed unwise to fight a decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty head-on, but if you don't stop the Ming Dynasty from advancing, once the Ming Dynasty soldiers come to the city, it will be the result of breaking the city" Huang Taiji said bitterly.

"The Great Khan is right......" Fan Wencheng lowered his head and complied with the sentence.

“…… Now it seems that Ben Khan still has to go to meet Qin Liangyu again......" Huang Taiji couldn't ask why, and said thoughtfully.

Fan Wencheng was relaxed for a while, and Huang Taiji finally didn't force him to say anything excessive. He doesn't have to take risks for ideas. Fan Wencheng heard that Huang Taiji was going to go up and fight the Ming army in person, but in fact, he was not very optimistic about it. Now Dajin's vitality is greatly injured, although he has recovered some vitality here in Lin Dan Khan, but in general, he is still very injured. In terms of military strength, it is not advantageous to the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that there is no guarantee of morale and combat power, even if Huang Taiji goes in person, he is afraid that there is nothing he can do. For the Ming Dynasty, it will at most have a delaying effect, and it is not easy to rely on finding the flaws of the Ming Dynasty to turn things around in one fell swoop, Fan Wencheng still thinks that the best thing now is to focus on westward expansion, westward as soon as possible, Lin Dan Khan's side is getting stronger and stronger, and the Ming Dynasty has to consume strength every day.

"By the way, Xian Dou, I heard that Lin Dan Khan sent the letter written to him by Ben Khan to the Ming Dynasty to get a reward...... Huang Taiji suddenly said. …,

"Back to the Great Khan, yes." Fan Wencheng said.

"What do you think about this matter?" Huang Taiji asked again.

"Great Khan, it means that Lin Dan Khan's situation is not good, and he has to find the Ming Dynasty for help, Great Khan, Wen Cheng still said the same thing, go west as soon as possible, south, during the Ming Dynasty's cautious period, it won't move too much for a while......" Fan Wencheng persuaded again.

"This Ben Khan knows in his heart, does Xiandou think that there is still hope for an alliance with Lin Dan Khan?" Huang Taiji said that Huang Taiji is also a person who makes his own ideas, although he also refers to Fan Wencheng's words, he will never listen to Fan Wencheng casually.

"Back to the Great Khan, Lin Dan Khan did this, Wen Cheng thought that the alliance might be ......" Fan Wencheng saw that Huang Taiji no longer forced him to say that he was fighting with the Ming Dynasty, and his mind was a little more relaxed.

"Oh, how could Kento know that way? Can you elaborate? Huang Taiji asked.

"Great Khan, the more this is the case, the more it shows that Lin Dan Khan is in an embarrassing situation, as long as the Great Khan keeps sending letters to Lin Dan Khan, Lin Dan Khan must also exchange things for the Ming Dynasty, what the Ming Dynasty gave to Lin Dan Khan, but it changed hands, and it went to the hands of the Great Khan? …… Moreover, Lin Dan Khan was forced to be helpless, and he might do something about not forming an alliance on the surface and forming an alliance secretly. Fan Wencheng said.

"Oh, that's a new one, so you might as well elaborate on it." Huang Taiji is interested, although the harvest of fighting Lin Dan Khan is not small, and he can recover his vitality, but there are still losses, and he has lost some elites, even if he can add more Mongolians, but in fact, in terms of the entire combat power, it is still reduced, and the newly recruited Mongolians are not as desperate as the old Eight Banners.

"Great Khan, when that time comes, Lin Dan Khan must be helpless, even if he wants to fight, he doesn't have the ability, even if he screams fiercely, what else can he do? Can you still move? Therefore, Wen Cheng thought that the Great Khan might as well continue to attack Lin Dan Khan while continuing to send a letter to Lin Dan Khan, thinking that Lin Dan Khan would definitely agree to form an alliance, at least he would not take the initiative to fight my Dajin, as long as he did this, then my Dajin could bypass Lin Dan Khan's territory and join the Tumut and Woer Dusi departments, once they converged, the strength of my Dajin could skyrocket......" Fan Wencheng said.

"Oh......" Huang Taiji thought for a while, and then said, "...... Lin Dan Khan will really let me go? Isn't he worried about my Dajin and Tumut, and after the convergence of the Wo'er Division, he will become stronger, and then trouble him? Huang Taiji asked rhetorically.

"Great Khan, Lin Dan Khan is still powerful, don't force too much, think about it, isn't there still the Mobei tribes to support Lin Dan Khan? Lin Dan Khan's back is against the Mobei tribes, it is really not good, he can still retreat to the north, and it is quite difficult for the Great Khan to uproot Lin Dan Khan and swallow it whole, so Wen Cheng thinks that it is possible to draw a bow and a crossbow on the surface and be safe in secret......" Fan Wencheng analyzed.

"Well, Kendou has a point...... maybe so......" Huang Taiji thought for a moment and muttered again.

Fan Wencheng felt a lot more relieved, saying that it was better to go west than to resist the Ming Dynasty in the south, in this regard, he could say more, and he made bold predictions......
