"What did you say?"

When Bhabuto led the remnants of the army to flee back in embarrassment, Huang Taiji and others opened their mouths wide, thinking that the Ming army would attack the city, and then suffered heavy losses in the street battle, and then was burned to death by Bhabto put a fire, the result was that the ideal was very plump, but the reality was too skinny, and the Ming army did not have a trace of loss, but it had already lost more than 100 people.

"A great idea from Master Fan." There are people who are unhappy with Fan Wencheng, yin and yang, and strange qi.

As soon as these words came out, those people who praised Fan Wencheng just now felt that they had been slapped hard in the face, and the pain was hot in an instant, and their expressions were so embarrassed that they were looking for cracks all over the ground.

At this moment, Fan Wencheng, who was the culprit, was in a daze, and his mind was full of countless whys, why did the Ming army not attack the city, but just shelled and set fire to the city? Why? Why......

He really guessed the purpose of the opaque army's expedition to the Horqin grassland, and it stands to reason that since the city of Chagantehao was captured, why not occupy it? Rather, set fire to the city? To show that people don't want to include the Horqin grassland in the territory, why build a few strange castles on the grassland? That's clearly the intention to divide and occupy a piece of grassland, not only abnormal, but also too unreasonable, why, why? Can anyone tell me?

"Fan Junshi, Fan Junshi......"

"What?"

Feeling that someone was pulling at his official uniform, Fan Wencheng, who was in a daze, reacted with a blank face.

"The Great Khan asks you."

"Ah...... The emperor forgives the sin, Weichen was thinking about something just now......" Fan Wencheng hurriedly bowed down and confessed, explaining the reason for his daze, if he didn't tell these reasons, he would go crazy if he held it in his heart.

"Well......" Huang Taiji frowned, although there are too many whys, and some places are unreasonable, and even contradictions, but the Ming army is so laborious expedition, a lot of effort, there must be a purpose, as long as it is clear, the problem will be solved, but he can't think of it even if he wants to break his head, which makes him very depressed and uncomfortable.

I really couldn't think of it, so I had to put the problem aside for the first time, and the most important thing was to consider the current problem, whether to stay in the Horqin grassland and continue to entangle with the Ming army and look for fighters? Or quickly withdraw to Liaodong in search of new fighters?

Both options have pros and cons, retreat and let the Ming army wreak havoc in the Horqin grassland, which will make the tribes of the northern grassland dissatisfied, and also make some half-hearted guys have other ideas, and let those diehard guys who were exterminated by him and did not surrender to join the Ming army and oppose him.

However, the war situation in the Horqin grassland has been declining, which is not good for Dajin, and it is not cost-effective to fight to the death of the Ming army, not to mention the casualties, the most important thing is the consumption of military materials such as grain, in recent years, it has been pitted to death by Hong Chengchou, and no supplies have been grabbed at all, and life is getting more and more bitter year by year, and if it is not solved as soon as possible, it is really fatal.

Therefore, he wanted to give up and the Ming army entangled in the Horqin grassland, wasting countless materials, and looking for a breakthrough in the nine sides of Liaodong as soon as possible, the Ming army expedition to Horqin, dispatched the Phoenix Legion, the Shenji Battalion, the Royal Guards Independent Division and other elite new troops, even Hong Chengchou, who has been sitting on the nine sides of Liaodong and is known for his hidden guards, would rather be scolded by the old turtle than die without fighting. It is possible to open the door to the Central Plains.

This idea is supported by the vast majority of people, of course, those small and medium-sized tribes inhabiting the Horqin grassland are dissatisfied, and even hateful, not only did they fail to follow the main force of Huang Taiji to rob the nine sides of Liaodong, but also had to stay to contain Hong Chengchou's main army, to put it bluntly, they are cannon fodder, and anyone will be unhappy, but they don't dare to show it.

Huang Taiji led the main army to kill the nine sides of Liaodong, and those large and small tribes that originally inhabited the Horqin grassland were constantly attacking the main force of the Ming army under the command of Amin Beyler, and Amin has now replaced Yue Tuo in charge of the Horqin grassland, making the Beyler patriarchs jealous and jealous.

Amin was only ordered to attack and harass the Ming army, as much as possible to drag Hong Chengchou's main army on the endless prairie, not daring to face the anal, Hong Chengchou did not pay attention to his harassment at all, after demolishing Chagantehao City, the army rested for a day, and the next day it pulled out the camp and set off, and retreated to the fortress.

According to the strategic requirements drawn up by the Imperial Staff Headquarters and approved by the Son of Heaven, Li Xin led his headquarters to stay behind to guard the fortress and divide his troops to protect several other fortresses under construction.

Because it is necessary to dig and build three large forts and four small forts, in addition to the need for a large number of migrant workers and building materials, it is also necessary to protect the safety of these migrant workers.

In addition to the above four troops, the 8,000 cavalry under the command of Man Gui also stayed, and his purpose was to constantly harass and toss the tribes on the grassland, so that they could not graze and produce with peace of mind, and consume the strength of these tribes.

In order to stimulate and encourage the work enthusiasm of General Man Gui and his subordinates, Zhu Jian allowed him to expand the cavalry unit to two divisions, and allowed him to intercept 70 percent of the looted treasures, such as gold and silver treasures, cattle, sheep, and horses, and keep all the weapons, equipment, food, and women for his own use.

There are many tribes outside the Guan, not all the tribes have surrendered to the Jin Empire, there are many small tribes that have been wiped out, and some defeated small tribes have moved to a far away place to avoid the edge of the Jin Empire, and some small tribes have chosen to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty to resist the Jin Army, and there are a large number of tribal warriors in the cavalry troops of Mangui, all of whom have a deep blood feud with the Jin Empire and want to avenge the blood hatred of the clansmen.

There were a lot of Mongol warriors in his original army, but these people only fought for money, similar to the mercenaries of later generations, who gave money to work for whom, not only unstable, but also had certain hidden dangers, these people were slowly cleaned out by the political and engineering officers in the army, and then recruited those tribal warriors who had a deep blood feud with the Jin Empire to supplement, and built Mangui's cavalry division into a real iron cavalry force.

Due to the successive defeats in the battles commanded by Huang Taiji, not only did they not grab anything, but also lost a lot of money, and consumed a huge amount of materials, so that the tribes living on the grassland were dissatisfied, and some small tribes who were forced to surrender due to the strong military pressure of the Jin Empire took advantage of Huang Taiji's flawless care for the affairs of the northern grassland, secretly contacted the Ming court, expressed their willingness to surrender, and asked for all kinds of help.

For this kind of wall grass that sees the wind and rudders, Zhu Jian just sent it away, wanting to fool me into asking for food, weapons and equipment, and military salaries? There is no door, hand over Amin's head as a vote, I will give full support, and by the way, with a warning, dare to attack my border army, hurt my people, and then settle the account with the interest.

The patriarchs of the various tribes gritted their teeth with hatred for this, cursing Chongzhen and the bastard, but they were helpless, the current situation is that the Ming military strength has begun to become strong again, and there is a hidden tendency to recover the peak, and the other is gradually weakening, and even the living space is slowly compressed.

Huang Taiji gave up the near and far, led the main force to attack the Shanhaiguan and Ningjin defense lines successively, were repelled by Shanhaiguan Zhao Shujiao and Ningjin General Officer Zu Chengxun, the casualties were not small, seeing that Hong Chengchou had led the main force to withdraw, and it was close to late autumn, so he had no choice but to withdraw the troops and prepare all kinds of materials to survive the cold and long winter.

The battle of the Horqin grassland ended, and the statistical results still made Zhu Jian quite satisfied, he lavishly rewarded meritorious soldiers, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Hong Chengchou commanded well, and the credit was of course the greatest, but Hong Chengchou himself pretended to be sick and did not go to the award.

Well, Commander-in-Chief Hong is pimple, embarrassed to accept this award, he led the army to the expedition, I thought there would be a big war or something happening, but the emperor Taiji slipped faster than a rabbit, and he didn't have the determination to fight to the death at all, and he also slipped to Liaodong to steal chickens and dogs to take advantage, and the real big war was the Phoenix Legion of Lu Hongniang who acted as the vanguard and bait, Gao Jie's department and Mangui's cavalry division who guarded the logistics and transportation, and the other troops just had some harassing battles, and he deserved this credit.

Fortunately, the imperial military advisor of the Son of Heaven, Song Xiance, the chief of staff of the empire, personally came to comfort and explain the importance of fighting with the Jin Empire, which dispelled the guilt and hypocrisy in the heart of Commander-in-Chief Hong.

Time passed quickly, and winter was about to fall, and a holy order from the Son of Heaven intercepted Yan Tienan and Tang Tiantian, who were heading to the Horqin Prairie, and the two women returned to Beijing under the escort of two hundred forest riders.
