Shenyang, Jiannu Palace.

Looking at the information in his hand, Huang Taiji frowned slightly.

Now Houjin, subdued Korea, conquered the left-wing Mongolian tribes, and expanded its power from Jianzhou to the entire Liaodong and even the eastern Mongolian steppe, and the territory is very wide.

Fighting like this in Donggoutun is nothing to Huang Taiji, who has been fighting for a long time.

If it is defeated, it will be defeated, but the problem is that the other party turned out to be the Dongjiang Army, which was extremely weak in combat, and lost more than 200 banners at once, which made Huang Taiji a little unacceptable.

"Hasn't Mao Wenlong already left his post, how can the Dongjiang Army have such combat power? Who was the general of the Ming army who led the troops? Huang Taiji asked.

"It's not clear, the Ming army didn't play a specific banner, and it's not clear who led the troops." Fan Wencheng said.

Huang Taiji said angrily: "Then go and check to see if it is the leader of the army, you have lost more than 200 banners, and even the other party's leading generals don't know what you are doing to eat." ”

"Yes, Great Khan." Fan Wencheng hurriedly agreed.

"Pass my will, and all the bannermen who escaped from Donggoutun will be demoted to the dead soldiers' camp for me!" Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and said.

Relegated to the camp of the dead, in the future, all battles must be rushed to the front line, until the battle is killed or made enough merit to get rid of it, this is the punishment of those who have committed mistakes. After all, the number of Eight Banners is too small, and even Huang Taiji rarely executes the Bannermen who make mistakes.

A few days later, the news came again, and Huang Taiji finally knew that the general of the Ming army who attacked Donggou was Liu Xingzuo.

"Liu Aita!" Huang Taiji gritted his teeth angrily.

Liu Xingzuo has been in Jianzhou for nearly 20 years, and he is deeply trusted by Nurhachi, becoming a deputy general, and marrying a clan girl, such a person actually rebelled against Dajin, which made Huang Taiji feel angry all the time.

And the problem is that when Nurhachi was alive, Liu Xingzuo was always honest, and it was not until Huang Taiji ascended the throne that Liu Xingzuo suddenly betrayed Dajin and returned to the Ming Dynasty.

Unlike Nurhachi's vigilance and suppression of the Han people who returned to obedience, Huang Taiji adopted various gentle measures against the Han people after he ascended the throne, hoping to make up for the lack of Qiding with the Han people. It was also after Huang Taiji ascended the throne that Fan Wencheng and other Han talents gradually emerged in the Later Jin court.

So for Liu Xingzuo's betrayal, Huang Taiji was quite angry.

"I'll just say it, the Han people are unreliable, the Great Khan, you can't use these Han people in the future." Mang Gurtai gloated, his eyes swept over the faces of Fan Wencheng and the other Han people from time to time.

"Shut up!" Huang Taiji said angrily.

In the Later Jin court, there were a lot of Han people, Li Yongfang, Tong Yangzhen, these people from the beginning of the submission of Jianzhou, have long been no different from the banner people, Mang Gurtai knocked over the Han army flag with a pole, it is simply stupid.

"Liu Aita is hateful and must be punished, please ask the Great Khan to order the killing of Liu Aita's mother and brother, and order someone to send them to Phi Dao as punishment." Zilharang suggested.

In addition to escaping with Liu Xingzhi and several other brothers, his mother's wife, as well as the wives of Liu Xingzhi and others, were all lost to Jiannu.

Huang Taiji was a little hesitant, the reason why he didn't ask Liu Xingzuo's family was because he wanted to persuade Liu Xingzuo to surrender in the future. If he really killed Liu Xingzuo's family and made him angry, then Liu Xingzuo would only follow Ming Guo and Dajin as enemies wholeheartedly.

"Great Khan, Weichen thinks that instead of killing Liu Xingzuo's mother, it is better to pick up his mother to persuade Liu Xingzuo to surrender to my Dajin." Ingordai said suddenly.

Ying Erdai's official position was low, he was just a general, and he was not qualified to participate in the discussion of court politics, but he was Liu Xingzuo's deputy before, and he accompanied Liu Xingzuo to North Korea, and had a close relationship with Liu Xingzhi, so Huang Taiji ordered someone to call him to the palace.

"Liu Xingzuo abandoned his mother's family and surrendered to the Ming Kingdom, where did he care about his mother's life?" Zilharang shook his head.

"No," said Ingordai. I heard that the ministers of the Ming State attach the most importance to filial piety, since Liu Xingzuo is an official in the Ming State, if he does not care about his mother's life, he is not filial, and he will inevitably be despised by the Ming officials, and as long as his mother is in our hands, the Ming court will worry about Liu Xingzuo, and he will not be reused. Great Khan, killing Liu's mother is just an outgas, it will only make Liu Xingzuo an enemy of Dajin without hesitation, and keep Liu's mother in order to control Liu Xingzuo at will. ”

Huang Taiji nodded: "What Ying Erdai said is exactly what I want. ”

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Ying Ordai had just left the palace, and suddenly a palace guard stopped him, saying that the Great Khan had been invited.

When Ying Erdai returned to the palace again, he saw Huang Taiji sitting upright behind the desk, writing with a pen.

After a while, Huang Taiji finally put down the brush and looked at Yingordai.

"Liu Aita is too familiar with my Dajin situation, if he is dedicated to serving the Ming Kingdom, it will inevitably bring great harm to my Dajin. Ying Ordai, Ben Khan has decided that you will be responsible for getting rid of Liu Xingzuo! Huang Taiji said.

Ying Ordai was stunned for a moment: "Great Khan, are you asking me to lead troops to fight Phi Island?" ”

Huang Taiji smiled: "It's not Phi Island. Instead, he wanted to persuade Liu Xingzuo to surrender. ”

Yingordai breathed a sigh of relief, it was better not to go to Phi Island. Dajin Kingdom has no sailors at all, and it is not used to water warfare, and Phi Dao is far away in the sea, so it is not easy to attack Phi Dao.

"The minions obey." Ying Ordai agreed, "But the Great Khan, Liu Xingzuo is bent on descending to the Ming, and it may take some time to persuade him to return to Dajin." ”

In Ying Erdai's opinion, it is not easy to persuade Liu Xingzuo to surrender, and he is afraid that he will be punished by Huang Taiji if he fails to complete the task, so he has to talk to the front.

Huang Taiji said lightly: "It's best to persuade you to surrender, and it doesn't matter if you can't, but you must let the other Ming generals on Phi Island know and believe that Liu Xingzuo is planning to surrender to my Dajin." ”

Ying Ordai suddenly realized: "The Great Khan is wise, and the minions understand what to do." ”

Counter-intrigue, Ying Erdai finally understood that Huang Taiji did not intend to persuade Liu Xingzuo to surrender at all, but wanted to borrow the hands of other generals of the Ming army to kill Liu Xingzuo. It seems that Liu Xingzuo's return to the Ming Dynasty and the killing of more than 200 bannermen not long ago deeply stimulated Huang Taiji.

"Liu Xingzuo's family members are entrusted to you to take care of, and you can ask them to write a letter to Liu Xingzuo and send someone to Phi Island. By the way, Fan Wencheng is good at imitating other people's handwriting, and I will ask him to imitate Liu Xingzuo's handwriting to write letters to me, and you will manage to get these letters into the hands of other generals on Phi Dao. Huang Taiji continued to command.

"If yes, if Liu Xingzuo is still willing to surrender," Huang Taiji took a deep breath and sighed: "Then do your best to help him come back, after all, talents are rare." ”

"Don't worry, the Khan doesn't know, the slave knows what to do." Ying Erdai said, looking at Huang Taiji's eyes full of admiration.

Even if he was so angry with Liu Xingzuo, Huang Taiji did not choose to kill Liu Xingzuo's family to vent his anger, and was even willing to continue to accept Liu Xingzuo, what a broad-minded and eloquent strategy!
