"Your Majesty, Weichen has always had a few questions in his heart." Fan Wencheng stood up and said, the questions he said were actually the ones mentioned a few days ago, and this time he just took them out again and said them again.

From the different reactions on the faces of Baylor, the patriarch and the generals, some frowned and pondered, and some pouted with disdain, Huang Taiji's eyes lit up, Fan Wencheng must have discovered something, so he would bring up these questions again, and the feeling in his heart seemed to be strong again, but it was faint, and he still couldn't catch it for a while.

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

Fan Wencheng walked to the desk, his index finger fell on a certain point on the map spread on the desk, glanced at everyone, and said, this is the location of the strange castle built by the Ming army, just now I received the news from the scout, the outer wall of this strange castle has been completed, and the buildings inside the castle are currently being built, Hong Chengchou is digging and starting work fifteen to twenty miles away from the original location, if you don't guess wrong, it should be to dig and build a second strange castle.

Everyone who came over frowned, the Ming army built a second strange castle, what does it mean?

Huang Taiji only then remembered that the scout did send back the news before, but he was nervously commanding the army at that time to desperately snipe Dou Dayong's third regiment and Lu Hongniang's first regiment to rendezvous, just glanced at it and threw it aside, now that he thinks about it carefully, he finds that this matter seems to be very serious.

Hiss –

His mind flashed, and he seemed to understand the purpose of the Ming army digging and building a strange castle on the Horqin grassland, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, Hong Chengchou, a madman, is simply crazy.

"Your Majesty, please see, if Weichen is not mistaken, the Ming army will build at least six or seven such strange castles." Fan Wencheng said, drawing half a circle with his index finger on the map.

A hissing inhalation sounded in the hall in an instant, and after Fan Wencheng said this, no matter how stupid the brain was, the Ming army was going to enclose the land in these strange castles into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, crazy, Hong Chengchou, a madman, was too frustrated, and he would gnaw on a piece of Dajin's land as soon as he played like this.

The Horqin grassland is vast, endless, and then gnaw a few large pieces are not afraid, but they can't stand the Ming army playing like this, the most terrible thing is that the speed of the building castle is too against the sky, a castle was built in less than a month, as long as it takes two or three years, it can really gnaw up the entire Horqin grassland.

A strange castle a month, don't question whether the castle is strong and strong, according to the information sent back by the scouts lurking in the pass, this kind of Dongdong called what concrete is a new building material, saving time, labor and money, the benefits are so many that you can count them with your toes, the built buildings are strong and solid, and they do not lose the city walls or stone houses built of marble and bluestone, because they are expensive, only the big moat can afford to build, and it is also the identity symbol of the moat in the pass.

"Chongzhen, this little faint gentleman, a madman ......" After thinking about it, Huang Taiji was a little angry, and suddenly gritted his teeth and cursed, I don't know which madman came up with such a bad idea, but Chongzhen, a stupid dumb gentleman, actually agreed, and threw a lot of silver into it, especially don't you know that building a new city is very expensive? Why do you want to build so many of them?

The beylers, patriarchs and confidants in the hall also scolded one after another, and greeted the eighteen generations of their ancestors such as Chongzhen and Hong Chengchou a hundred times, but they all knew that this was a serious problem, if Chongzhen really played as they guessed.

Fan Wencheng coughed lightly, and after successfully attracting everyone's attention, he continued to explain slowly, roughly understanding the purpose of the Ming army's construction of the monster castle, and he could explain that Lu Hongniang's Phoenix Army was approaching the city of Chagantehao, but it was only bombarded with artillery fire, and the reason why he did not send troops to attack the city was to attract the main force of our Dajin Empire and let Hong Chengchou build the city with peace of mind in the back.

"Isn't he afraid that I will eat the bait of the Phoenix Legion?" Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and roared, because of the extreme anger in his heart, the muscles on his face were twisted, looking hideous and terrifying.

"That's right, destroy the Phoenix Legion, capture Lu Hongniang alive, and kill Chongzhen Xiaodujun in anger." A group of simple-minded generals who can only wave their heads and howl at the generals who will fall into battle, since Chongzhen Xiaodujun dares to throw his favorite concubine out as bait, then eat his bait and see if his flesh hurts?

Some shrewd people, including Fan Wencheng, don't dare to talk, isn't this unclear? If people are afraid, do they dare to be bait? That's Emperor Chongzhen's favorite concubine Lu Hongniang.

Seeing the eyes of a few Baylor and the patriarch who usually had a good relationship with him, Fan Wencheng smiled bitterly, and he could only speak out in his heart, who made him the Ming man who surrendered to Dajin, the life of the minion.

"Your Majesty...... This is ...... You have to think long-term......"

"Bastard, you dog minion, Lao Tzu suspects you of being a spy." A general pointed at him and scolded loudly.

"Shut up!" Huang Taiji shouted loudly, the dragon's body shook, and Wang Ba's momentum burst out instantly.

Everyone immediately shut up, the spirit of the Great Khan was still quite scary, and he didn't want to provoke the Great Khan, so he could only clamp his tail and be his grandson, and the entire Jinluan Hall was silent in an instant.

"Fan Aiqing, what do you think?" Huang Taiji asked, he was very angry in his heart, but he did not lose his mind, everything was focused on Dajin's national fortune, and all the mess was thrown aside.

Fan Wencheng carefully analyzed, eating the bait of the Phoenix Legion, capturing Lu Hongniang alive is certainly very cool, it is a political victory, but the loss paid must not be small, just look at today's battle losses, you can know that Daming is rich, rich in resources, and has a large population, Chongzhen can afford to play, but Dajin can't afford to play this kind of game of hard consumption.

Huang Taiji nodded, it was precisely because he knew this in his heart that he had a headache about whether to continue to fight tomorrow's battle? Fighting, there will definitely be a lot of losses, and it may not be able to eat Lu Hongniang's ball. If you don't fight, you're unwilling, that's the fat that you put in your mouth.

"Great Khan, let's fight for another day."

"Yes, Your Majesty, try another day."

Most of the people in the hall still tend to fight for another day or two, and then look at the situation, after all, it is the fat that is delivered to the mouth, and it is really unwilling to leave like this.

"Since that's the case, let's fight for another day and try, if it doesn't work, retreat, that's it." Huang Taiji finally decided, he is also inclined to fight for another day to try, if he can't eat Lu Hongniang's first group, then it can only be said that it is providence, and he can only retreat decisively.

The generals received the order and went back to rest one after another, as for using the cover of night to attack the first regiment of the Phoenix Legion, think about it, forget it, the soldiers have been fighting for a day, they are already exhausted, and they can't see anything in the dark lights at night, which is very troublesome, however, the night battle is not fought, but harassment and tossing are necessary.

This night, for Lu Hongniang and the first regiment of the Phoenix Legion, it was indeed a long and difficult night, although they were ready to camp in the wilderness when they set off, but it was only a large circle with a carriage carrying grain, grass and ammunition and other military supplies, and the carriage was inserted with an iron spear as a camp fence.

There is no too strong and sturdy fortifications to rely on, coupled with the dark night, the field of vision can not reach far, even if Lu Hongniang forced to rest, the soldiers still did not dare to really close their eyes at ease, just sat next to the carriage, laid a waterproof oil paper under the buttocks, and then spread a layer of hay and military blankets to take a nap, the Jin soldiers made them wake up and prepare for war every time they harassed, knowing that it was the Jin army harassment, but no one dared to be careless, so dazed, tossing until dawn.

Lu Hongniang looked at the tired soldiers, her heart sank slightly, it seemed that she was still thinking too simply, ignoring a lot of details, she had to kill back today, so that the soldiers could rest well.

When the sky was still gray and not completely brightened, the head of the battalion had already cooked rice, and the fragrant horse meat made the soldiers of the whole regiment feel invigorated, and after hurriedly eating, the sky was completely bright, and Lu Hongniang ordered to collect things and prepare to retreat to the camp.

Woo woo, the sound of the assembly horn sounded from inside the city of Chagantehao.
