The next day, in a wilderness near Jizhou, I don't know how far away it is from Jizhou City. Later, Jin Junyun gathered here, Huang Taiji stood on a hillside mound, climbed high and looked, with his hands behind his back, looking at the direction of Jizhou City, Fan Wencheng was on one side, and there were other people looking around and standing there quietly.

As for the letter of the military report, after Fan Wencheng took it, he opened it and read it softly.

"Great Khan, the spies in front have come to report that Yuan Chonghuan has arrived in Jizhou City. Moreover, Zu Dashou and He Kegang's army has also joined forces with him, looking at their posture, they want to fight to the death with us in Jizhou City..."

Fan Wencheng suddenly stopped, his brows furrowed, revealing a puzzled look, causing Huang Taiji to ask, "Mr. Fan, what's wrong?" Why did it stop all of a sudden? ”

At this time, Huang Taiji turned his head curiously and looked at Fan Wencheng, who did not answer immediately, but handed over a military report in his hand, and then said: "Great Khan, look at it, I don't know what's going on?" On this occasion, both Jizhou and Beijing are in urgent need of troops to be stationed and supported. However, just yesterday, Yuan Chonghuan actually drove back the Miyun reinforcements led by Liu Ce very strongly, which is really incomprehensible. ”

Hearing this, Huang Taiji's hands were sluggish when he unfolded the military report, and then he moved quickly, ten lines at a glance, and in a moment, he roughly browsed it. As soon as Fan Wencheng's words fell, he just finished reading them, and suddenly showed a puzzled look, and said puzzledly: "It's really incomprehensible, Yuan Chonghuan can't be unaware, we just fought a battle with the Mongolian tribes last year, isolated the Chahar department, and we brought out so many Mongolian cavalry, even if Miyun is empty." With the control of the Chahar tribe, it is impossible for other Mongolian tribes to enter the pass again. ”

"Yes, Great Khan, that's what the lower officials think, and it's also the most confusing place for the lower officials." Fan Wencheng nodded, as if to increase his convincing, and added: "Even if those Mongolian tribes who are friendly with us want to enter the customs to support, it is impossible." Otherwise, the Chahar Department will make a comeback, regain the lost territory, and may threaten our base camp, Liaodong. ”

Gradually, Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng didn't say anything more, fell into deep thought, and each pondered and thought about it, guessing Yuan Chonghuan's intentions, why did he drive Miyun's reinforcements back? At this juncture, any abnormal move by the opponent cannot be ignored. Otherwise, the consequences are likely to be devastating and irreversible.

At this moment, Dolgon, who had been standing next to him, broke his silence and said uncertainly: "Great Khan, I think I know Yuan Chonghuan's intentions, but I don't know, right?" ”

Immediately, Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng woke up at the same time, their expressions were very similar, and they paid great attention to it, and the two of them knew very well that Dolgon was young, only seventeen years old, but he had a unique military point of view, and often put forward eye-catching ideas, which was extremely constructive.

Seeing Dolgon's inquiring and very confident gaze, Huang Taiji almost didn't hesitate at all, and replied loudly: "Fourteenth brother, what is the intention, whether it is correct or not, but it doesn't matter. ”

It seemed that he had known what Huang Taiji said, and Dolgon was not so polite anymore, and replied affectionately: "Starling, as you said before, Yuan Chonghuan wants to fight a decisive battle with us in Jizhou and block the Eight Banners Army here. Therefore, if there are more Ming troops gathered in Jizhou, it means that his intentions are more likely to fail. After all, no one is a fool, knowing that there is a huge disparity in strength and a big difference, who will fight hard here? What's more, how can a small Jizhou compare to the value of Beijing? ”

"Well, Fourteen Baylor is right, it's very likely." Fan Wencheng showed a sudden expression, couldn't help nodding, and then said: "If Jizhou City only has those Guanning iron horses brought by Yuan Chonghuan and my ancestor Dashou, it is really so tempting, let us fight with them here." After all, once the Guanning Iron Cavalry is destroyed here, it means that we have Shanhaiguan at our fingertips, and the Ningjin defense line is self-defeating. ”

Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng's reactions were somewhat similar, but they were very different, first nodded approvingly, and in an instant showed contempt, and said as if mockingly: "Yuan Chonghuan really played a good calculation, dragging the Eight Banners Army in Jizhou, so as to fight a war of attrition with us." Once we are entangled and dragged here, the city of Beijing will be safe. In that case, Yuan Chonghuan will be relieved, let it go, and fight to the death with us. ”

Immediately afterwards, Huang Taiji said in a tone, exuding a majestic aura on his body, which had the potential to swallow mountains and rivers, and said sonorously: "Just like the fourteenth brother said, a small Jizhou, and even Shanhaiguan, how can their value be compared to the capital land of the Ming Dynasty, Beijing City?" ”

At this moment, Huang Taiji's eyes flashed with a terrifying light, and there was a hint of madness, as if he was talking to himself, as if reminding others, and said to himself: "Regardless of whether Beijing City is broken or not, a big battle will turn the Ming Dynasty upside down and completely disrupt Yuan Chonghuan's deployment." If it is properly planned, not to mention Shanhaiguan, even Luanzhou, Qian'an, Jizhou, etc. in the customs will also be reduced to the land of our Houjin. ”

Even though he had long known that Huang Taiji's ultimate goal was Beijing City, as soon as he heard these words, Fan Wencheng was still a thriller and was shocked.

It seemed that he was infected by the momentum on Huang Taiji's body, and the fighting spirit in his heart was stimulated, Dolgon became high-spirited, and his heart was surging, and he couldn't help asking: "Then ~ Great Khan, what should we do next?" ”

As soon as Dolgon finished asking, he seemed to think of something, and reminded again: "Moreover, according to our spies, Yuan Chonghuan's investigation around Jizhou is very strong, and within a radius of twenty miles from Jizhou City, it is within the scope of their night investigation. ”

Huang Taiji's momentum was overwhelmed, as if he hadn't heard Dolgon's reminder, and said lightly: "Fourteenth brother, you immediately go and inform Mang Gurtai and them, let them gather in the sweat tent, and I will assign the next combat tasks and their respective directions of action." ”

"Yes, Great Khan~!" Dolgon didn't ask much, agreed, and then left, looking like the head of the emperor's horse.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Taiji and the others did not stop, turned around and left, and went straight to the direction of the imperial tent in Yingpan.

Soon after, inside the sweat tent, many generals gathered here and gathered together. The people in the big tent are either the high-level leaders of Houjin, or the absolute henchmen of Huang Taiji. Therefore, everyone already knows the content of this meeting, what does the Great Khan Emperor Taiji want to do?

At this time, without waiting for Huang Taiji to give an order and assign tasks, Dai Shan walked out and reminded kindly: "Great Khan, if we make a detour to Jizhou and sneak over, it will be equivalent to cutting off the supply line of the army ourselves." If the war drags on for too long and we don't collect enough food and grass, we will be in a very dangerous situation. ”

As soon as Dai Shan's words fell, Azig also said: "With the Guanning cavalry guarding Jizhou, our grain and grass will not be able to reach the suburbs of Beijing. Moreover, the capital is different from other places, it is the land of Gyeonggi of the Ming Dynasty, and it will be more difficult to attack, it will be a protracted battle, and it will take a longer time. If the supply of food and grass is not timely, our actions will become meaningless. ”

It has to be said that a factional struggle has once again formed in the Khan's tent, and the people led by Dai Shan want to be on an equal footing with Huang Taiji and take the opportunity to attack the authority of the Great Khan in order to satisfy their ambitions.

As one of them, Mang Gurtai of course would not be resigned to being left behind, and then he also stood up and said loudly: "For the sake of safety, it is better to capture Jizhou first and open up the grain and grass transportation route in the rear of the army, so that it can be more secure." ”

It seemed that he had expected this scene for a long time, Huang Taiji's performance was very calm, but he smiled lightly, and then shot back: "Hehe... A few Baylors are right, it is indeed a hidden worry, and there must be many people who are also worried about it. ”

Huang Taiji paused, paused, slowly moved his head, quickly looked around left and right, looked at everyone one by one, and finally stopped his gaze on Dai Shan's body, and his body suddenly exuded a heroic momentum, swallowing mountains and rivers and saying: "Since the establishment of Houjin by my father Khan, how have I ever considered the supply of grain and grass?" Wherever they passed, they were the pastures of the horses, and the cities were the granaries of the army. ”

In just two sentences, Dai Shan and others who refuted were speechless, and if they forcibly refuted again, it would reduce their prestige, making people feel that they were just a timid person who was afraid of death, always looking ahead and backward, and missing the predatory wildness of the Jurchens.
