Huang Taiji looked at Daishan, who was showing his age and gloomy expression, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

The original Erbeile Daishan was the heir to the position of the Great Khan. At that time, Daishan was high-spirited and high-spirited. After so many years, he has experienced great storms such as being deposed as the Great Khan's successor, the Fourth Beile's political affairs, etc., Daishan gradually

Becoming low-key and reserved, especially after his beloved son Yue Tuo was killed in battle, Daishan seemed to have seen through everything and began to rest, almost no longer participating in any affairs in the court.

Huang Taiji was once extremely wary of Daishan. After all, Daishan was the eldest among the Four Belles, and his influence among the Manchu nobles was also extraordinary. Huang Taiji was on guard against Daishan's comeback and threatening his own imperial power. Although Daishan and Yue Tuo

He expressed clear support for his ascension to the throne and became the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but Huang Taiji was still worried.

With the stabilization of imperial power, Huang Taiji's thoughts changed subtly. He did not want Daishan to continue to sink. After all, Daishan was the first prince of the Qing Dynasty and the dignified Erbeile. If Daishan continued to sink,

, will definitely have a bad impact on other Manchu nobles. Besides, Daishan, who lost his beloved son Yue Tuo, has also suffered a heavy blow to his strength, and it is no longer possible to have any impact on Huang Taiji, who has a stable position.

Over the years, Zhenghong Banner and Xianghong Banner have repeatedly deployed sergeants to go on expeditions, and encountered Denglai's new army of the Ming Dynasty several times. They suffered heavy losses. Although they continued to replenish their sergeants, it was difficult to return to their peak strength in a short period of time.

In the past, Huang Taiji tried his best to suppress Daishan because of the needs of his own interests. Now he asks Daishan to cheer up because of the needs of his own interests.

Daishan back then was full of wisdom and bravery in battle, but now Daishan is low-key, restrained, and full of twilight. There is a huge difference between the two. Huang Taiji, who witnessed all this with his own eyes, developed a heart of compassion.

When he saw Daishan preparing to salute, Huang Taiji spoke.

"Second brother, there is no need to salute. I invite you here today to discuss important matters."

Daishan still cupped his fists and saluted Huang Taiji, but he did not kneel down.

"If your Majesty has anything to do, just ask me. As long as I can do it, I will do my best."

Daishan's prudence and care made Huang Taiji feel sad. He suddenly realized that a person's will is the most critical. Losing one's will may make people completely sink. Daishan has been cautious for many years and has become accustomed to it. At this time, he thought

It's unlikely that Daishan could cheer up with just a few words.

With a slight disappointment, Huang Taiji spoke again.

"Second brother, our officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners Army are gathering to the west of the Liaohe River to prepare for an attack on Xipingbao and other places. You are aware of this matter. I invite you to come today. Firstly, I want to talk about our brotherhood over the years. Secondly, I want to listen to you.

Suggestions on how to launch an attack on Xiping Fort and other places, and how to win the battle."

Daishan was slightly surprised. When he looked up at Huang Taiji, his face turned slightly red.

Huang Taiji waved his hand and motioned to the palace guards beside him to move a chair over for Daishan to sit down and talk.

The palace guard carefully placed the chair behind Daishan.

Huang Taiji glanced at the palace guard's action, but there was no expression on his face.

Daishan, on the other hand, had a flattered look on his face.

"Your Majesty, I still stand and speak. This is the central military tent in the camp with yellow flags. No matter who comes here, they must stand and speak. I cannot break this rule..."

Huang Taiji waved his hand.

"Second brother, you don't have to think so much. You are older and I am not used to standing and talking. It's better to sit down. Only when you sit down can I talk to you properly."

Huang Taiji's words made Daishan stop talking and sit down carefully.

"Second brother, Wu Zongrui, the governor of Ji Liao in the Ming Dynasty, has done many things since he took control of many matters in Liaodong. The Qing Dynasty cannot bear it, and it worries me day and night. At that time, our Eight Banners Army controlled everything except Jinzhou, Ningyuan and other places.

All other places in Liaodong ensured the safety of Shengjing, Liaoyang and other places. Especially after the Battle of Daling River City, the Ming Dynasty's Liaodong frontier army suffered heavy losses and could no longer become an opponent of our Eight Banners Army. At that time, I was thinking

, when can we lead a large army to attack the Central Plains and completely destroy the Ming Dynasty?"

"What a pity. After Denglai's new army arrived in Liaodong, everything changed. Our Eight Banners Army lost control of all places east of the Liaohe River. Now, Denglai's new army is in Xipingbao, Guangning, Yizhou and other places.

They made a lot of money from the Qing Dynasty through mutual trading. They also recruited a large number of people into Liaodong in an attempt to make Liaodong completely stable. I cannot tolerate these matters, and other princes and princes cannot tolerate it either.

This situation is a serious threat to our Qing country."

"So I have made a decision to attack east of the Liao River and severely attack Ming Dynasty's Denglai New Army."

Having said this, Huang Taiji looked at Daishan who was listening carefully.

"Second brother, I don't want to launch a large-scale attack. The Denglai New Army is the most brave army in the Ming Dynasty. As far as I know, the Denglai New Army and the Liaodong Frontier Army deployed in Liaodong have a total strength of more than 100,000. I want to

To completely wipe out the 100,000 Denglai New Army, I am afraid I will have to mobilize all the Eight Banners Army, and may even draw troops from the Mongolian tribes again."

"My main consideration is to teach the Denglai New Army a lesson. I cannot completely stabilize the Denglai New Army, let alone stabilize the east of the Liaohe River."

...

Huang Taiji said it in great detail. This was a situation that had never happened before.

After Huang Taiji finished speaking, Daishan raised his head and his face became serious.

"I understand the emperor's intention, and I also know that the Denglai New Army of the Ming Dynasty has gradually stabilized east of the Liaohe River, and there may be signs of plotting against the Qing Dynasty. Under such circumstances, the emperor plans to attack Xipingbao and other places to disrupt the west of the Liaohe River.

The stability of the Ming Dynasty's Denglai New Army will not be able to gain a foothold west of the Liao River, and I fully agree with it."

When Daishan said this, Huang Taiji's expression became serious, and he had already heard the underlying meaning.

Huang Taiji didn't speak and continued to let Daishan talk.

"Has Your Majesty considered all the battles between our Eight Banners Army and the Denglai New Army of the Ming Dynasty? I won't talk about the small-scale collision. I thought of the battle of Liaodong and Azig leading our Eight Banners Army to enter the pass.

Duduo led the Eight Banners Army to enter the Pass to fight, and Dorgon led the army to enter the Pass to fight."

"Ajige, Duduo and Dorgon are all the most courageous generals in our Qing Dynasty. They led their armies to fight in the pass. When facing the new army of Ming Dynasty and Denglai, they were unable to win the final victory. This is enough to show that

The bravery of the new army of Ming Dynasty and Denglai."

"By saying this, I am not trying to boost others' ambitions and destroy my own prestige. I just feel that if you want to launch an attack on the new army of Denglai in the Ming Dynasty, you need to consider the consequences you will face, and you need to be fully sure."

...

When Daishan said this, Huang Taiji's face showed a trace of gloom.

He already understood what Daishan meant, that is, the Denglai New Army of the Ming Dynasty was extremely brave. If the Eight Banners Army was not fully prepared, they should not even think about attacking the Denglai New Army to avoid defeat.

If Daishan from the heroic period had made such a suggestion, Huang Taiji would definitely consider it and make appropriate arrangements. However, if Daishan, who was passive and withdrawn from society, put forward such a suggestion, Huang Taiji would not listen.

If Daishan's analysis is followed, the Qing Dynasty will always have a foothold in the Shengjing area and will use all its strength to protect Shengjing. If you are not careful, Shengjing may be attacked by the Ming army and find it difficult to protect itself.

Huang Taiji was absolutely unwilling to maintain the operation of the Qing Dynasty under such a conservative situation.

"Second brother, I understand what you mean. I wonder if second brother has any other suggestions."

Huang Taiji's words made Daishan's eyes dim.

Daishan lowered his head so that Huang Taiji wouldn't notice his eyes and expressions. It should be said that Huang Taiji had already made up his mind. No matter what kind of suggestions, as long as they were inconsistent with Huang Taiji's ideas, Huang Taiji would not listen. In this case

No matter how much Daishan said, it would not have much effect.

Daishan saw through everything, was very sensitive, and could feel the changes in Huang Taiji's mind.

"Your Majesty, I just said it casually. I have no other suggestions. I will definitely abide by the Emperor's decision..."

Huang Taiji nodded and his face became calm.

In fact, Huang Taiji was planning to let Dai Shan lead the Eight Banners Army to launch an attack on Xiping Fort and other places. Huang Taiji believed that Dai Shan could command the army very well, and his decision-making and command abilities were very good, stronger than those of Dorgon and Dorgon.

Duduo and others, it is a pity that Daishan lacks fighting spirit.

After just talking with Daishan, Huang Taiji had changed his mind and did not intend to let Daishan lead the army.

There is no family affection in the royal family. Although Huang Taiji felt soft-hearted for a moment, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty and to consolidate the imperial power, Huang Taiji had to be tougher in Xinchang and cut off the love between his children.

"Second brother, I understand what you mean. I will think carefully about how to plan this battle. Okay, second brother, please go back and rest. If anything happens, I will let the guards inform you."

...

Daishan walked out of the Zhongjun tent, looked at the blue sky, and let out a long sigh.

Daishan's low profile has been noticed by many Manchu nobles, including Dorgon and Duoduo, who all visited the mansion. However, Daishan wrapped himself up very tightly and would never reveal his true thoughts.

.

This time, he was summoned by Huang Taiji and came to the Chinese military tent in the camp with yellow flags. Daishan thought for a long time. He thought of all possibilities, including leading the army in battle. Unfortunately, Huang Taiji's attitude made him

Falling into disappointment again.

Daishan has noticed that the combat effectiveness of Ming Dynasty's Denglai New Army will not be weaker than that of the Qing Dynasty's Eight Banners Army. If the Qing Dynasty prepares to launch an attack on Ming Dynasty's Denglai New Army, it must use all its strength, no matter how high the price is.

We must completely defeat the Denglai New Army without leaving any future troubles.

Huang Taiji prepared to attack Xiping Fort with a small force. This decision had major hidden dangers.
