"What's the situation in Sanhe?" After giving the benefits, he continued to talk about the serious matter. Zhou Shixiong also wanted to know whether Sanhe was a hard bone or a soft persimmon.

"Sir, Jiannu left 5,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry in Sanhe. The infantry was responsible for guarding more than 100,000 people of the Ming Dynasty, gold, silver, wealth, livestock, food, and grass. The cavalry was responsible for patrol and guarding. These were not very important. The most worrying thing was that Jiannu was very cautious. Every two hours, he would send a wave of scout cavalry to send a message to the Pinggu in Tongzhou, and Tongzhou would also do the same. Xiaguan and General Yu Qian respectively investigated Tongzhou Hepinggu and learned that the defenders of Tongzhou had 3,000 infantry, and there were only 1,000 cavalry in Pinggu, which was not large." Fang Zhenghua only said the information obtained from the investigation and did not make any analysis suggestions. Zhou Shixiong ordered Zuo Liangyu to take out the map of the capital to carefully consider it.

Pinggu will arrive in one day at a fast horse from Sanhe. It will take at least three days from Tongzhou to Sanhe. After thinking about it, you will understand that the Tongzhou defenders will not have much help to Sanhe. If Zhou Shixiong's cavalry camp is dispatched and the Sanhe Pinggu will be captured at the same time, it will not be a problem. In this way, it seems that it is easy to break through Sanhe, but Zhou Shixiong does not smile at all. Although the Tongzhou defenders cannot help Jiannu in Sanhe, they can notify Jiannu's camp.

If Zhou Shixiong really attacked Sanhe, he would be surrounded by the main force of Jiannu. 20,000 to 50,000, Zhou Shixiong was very confident that he would lose all his life, or even lose his life. The eastern part of Sanhe is Jizhou, where Jiannu did not attack but was still at the hands of the Ming army. Zhou Shixiong could escape to Jizhou to avoid Jiannu. The problem was that Zhou Shixiong wanted to rescue the people in Sanhe City. It would be impossible to disband on the spot and let them fend for themselves. They must protect them to a safe place.

It takes at least five days to walk from Sanhe to Jizhou. No matter how you count the Jiannu cavalry, you can catch up and surround them. Zhou Shixiong’s 20,000 cavalrymen cannot even protect themselves, how can you protect the people? The southern part of Sanhe is Xianghe. The distance between the two cities is a little closer, and you can walk for four days. If Zhou Shixiong chooses to go south to Xianghe Jiannu, they will be happier. They can catch up with the cavalry camp in only three days, saving a lot of effort.

Sanhe County is named after the intersection of the three rivers. If it is spring and summer, Zhou Shixiong can organize a fleet to send people downstream to Liangcheng Station and even Tianjin Wei. But now it is winter, and the river is dry and the water surface is frozen and there is no use if there is a boat. Wait, it is frozen? "Xiao Fang, are all the waterways near Sanhe frozen?"

"It's all frozen. The servant crossed the water many times, and the fast horse galloped and couldn't step on a crack." Fang Zhenghua thought about the three rivers, and of course he would pay attention to the main stream water in the three rivers, and he also specially tested the strength of the ice surface.

"That's great, Xiao Fang, please go to the capital and ask me for a group of craftsmen to come, and notify Shen Fu and his chariot camp to meet in Shunyi." Zhou Shixiong thought of a good way to quickly evacuate Sanhe. As for the reason of sending Fang Zhenghua back to Beijing, it is like Wu Weiying sending good news, so that Fang Zhenghua will go back to receive the reward.

The Ming Dynasty was nervously happy, while the Later Jin Dynasty was nervously calm. Huang Taiji dealt with Abatai and vented his anger a little, and began to have a fever that night. He was confused and unconscious for several consecutive days. The Later Jin army had to protect the sweat tent and wait quietly for Huang Taiji to recover from his illness.

Baksherdeni, third-class general Ming'an, first-class guards Sony and Jirgalang gathered in the Khan tent. The legendary Huang Taiji, who was dying, sat in the main seat in a daze. These four were Huang Taiji's most confidant ministers. They handled the matters of the Huang Banner inlaid with Huang Banner, and Haoge's power was not as great as theirs. Just like now, he held a secret meeting, and Haoge did not even have the qualification to attend.

"Khan, I am so wise, so I have only come up with a way to deal with the current dilemma." Erdeni is one of the few wise men among the Jurchens. He is well-versed in many languages ​​and scripts such as Mongolia, Jurchens, Ming Dynasty, and Korea. Later Jin scripts were created by him and Ge Gai. After Ge Gai's death, Erdeni became the first civil minister of the Later Jin Dynasty and the most important minister around Huang Taiji.

"Bakish doesn't need to worry too much. Please tell me if you have any ideas." Huang Taiji sat upright slightly and said to Erdeni politely.

"The strength of the Great Sweat was frustrated. If it took a long time to plunder slaves and recuperate, there was only one way to take effect quickly, weakening others." Erdeni looked elegant and seemed to have a greater scholarly spirit than ordinary Ming Dynasty scholars. However, the words he said were murderous. The pig-killer could not accumulate such a strong murderous spirit even if he killed a pig for a lifetime.

"How to do it?" Huang Taiji immediately got better when he heard this idea. He looked at Erdeni eagerly, as if the believers were looking forward to the gift of the Supreme God.

"Since this Ming army can defeat the elite of the Yellow Banner with a similar number of cavalry, they must be able to withstand the elite of the Zhenghong Banner and the Blue Banner. As long as the Khan controls the number of troops sent by these two flags at one time, we can use this Ming army to weaken the elite of the two flags, and finally the Khan personally led the vanguard battalion to defeat the Ming army, the dilemma in front of him will be fine." Erdeni's idea was not very good. Simply put, it was the two tricks of driving tigers and swallowing wolfs and reaping the benefits of fishermen.

The strategy is simple and requires skills. Even if Huang Taiji masters the righteousness, he cannot forcefully assign it. Because doing so will only expose his purpose and arouse hatred and anger from the owners of each banner. Huang Taiji cannot withstand such a result, so he needs to design this plan ingeniously.

"Bakish, if they were asked to send five thousand cavalry to attack Shunyi, I'm afraid neither of these two people would agree. The number of people is not sure!" Huang Taiji was also making this idea, but he was not as long as Erdeni.

"Of course not. What the slaves mean is to let them all go out, and Yuetuo's red flag is transferred to Tongzhou to strengthen the garrison of Tongzhou." Erdeni said this, but Huang Taiji nodded happily, "Bakish is unparalleled in wisdom, good, very good."

The Zhenghong Banner came out of eight thousand soldiers, of which 5,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry were 3,000, which was only 2,000 fewer than the Zhenghuang Banner. The number of troops sent by each banner was ranked second. The Blue Banner sent 6,000 troops, which was less than the Yellow Banner. However, these six thousand were all elite cavalry, and their combat power was ranked third among the Eight Banners. Twenty thousand Ming troops occupied Shunyi City, and it seemed that they were superior to the two banners in terms of geographical advantage and number. In fact, the difference was not big or even a little insufficient.

Because Shunyi City has low defense after two attacks, if the Ming army chooses to defend the city, the Later Jin could use heavy artillery to break through the city gate and force the Ming army to go out of the city to fight in the field. Huang Taiji did not think that the two flags would win easily. He had calculated that the two flags would reduce at least 10% of their troops after more than a month of conquest, especially in the battle between Chaoyangmen and Guangqumen, the two flags lost another 10% of their troops, with a total strength of about 10,000. If they wanted to win this Ming army of 20,000 people, they would have to pay at least half of their troops.

The last question is, how can Huang Taiji make the two of them fight to the death to attack the Ming army without hesitation to lose their strength? Jiergalang said, "Zhenglan Banner." Yes, the Zhenglan Banner of Mangurtai had just lost the banner owner. If he used this as bait, Huang Taiji believed that neither Daishan nor Amin could refuse the temptation. He transferred the red flag himself, which on the surface gave Daishan and Amin a chance to compete fairly, and no one could say anything!

"Okay, that's it. Jirgalang, you go to talk to them on my behalf, whether they join forces or fight alone. You lead the firearm battalion to help them, blow up the city gate and come back." Huang Taiji didn't want something to happen to Jirgalang, but Yang Guli's whereabouts were unknown. The only ones who could withstand Daishan and Amin in his hands were Jirgalang and Hauge.

Jirgalang made Daishan and Amin together, threw out the bait of Zhenglan Banner and did not make a sound, looking at the news of the two major belles. "Jirgalang, is the Khan really willing to take out Zhenglan Banner as a reward?" Amin greedy for power and good money, and is the person who is the least like Nurhaci among the many brothers. If there were things like DNA testing in ancient times, Nurhaci would definitely arrest him to test and see who it is!

"Please rest assured that the Khan will personally announce the matter publicly and sign an oath with the two Bellers. Whoever destroys this Ming army will be the new leader of the Zhenglan Banner." Jirhalang answered Amin's question seriously, and did not get angry because Amin suspected Huang Taiji.

"If the two of us jointly wiped out this Ming army, what would the Khan say?" Dai Shan made a scheming calculation. Although he was not a Han Chinese, he had never read many books. He had heard the story of killing three soldiers. He despised Huang Taiji's move very much.

"Big Beller, the Khan means that the two Bellers jointly wiped out this Ming army and divided the Zhenglan Banner Niulu according to the two's merits. The Zhenglan Banner Banner will not be rewarded to both of them. In the future, someone will make meritorious contributions and then reward them." With Erdeni, various possibilities have long been analyzed, and Jirgalang's response is not missed.

Dai Shan always felt that there was something strange about it, but Huang Taiji gave very good conditions, and the method of opening up the alliance was also very open and honest, so he couldn't find where the trick was? After thinking for a while, Dai Shan asked the last question, "Why only give us this opportunity and no other flags participated?"

"The Great Beile, the Zhenglan Banner is naturally not qualified to participate without the banner leader. The Yellow Banner of the Inlaid Yellow Banner has just been defeated, and Haoge is powerless to fight. What happened to the Zhengbai Banner and the Inlaid White Banner are better than me. Yuetuo is the parent-child of the Great Beile. If he participates in the competition, the two Beile will probably have opinions." Jiergalang said this, even Daishan felt that only he and Amin met the conditions, and he did not want the Zhengbai Banner of the Inlaid White Banner to prosper again.

"Daishan, your son Yuetuo is already the banner owner. My six little boys are nothing. If you don't want to go, borrow 5,000 soldiers to me. At most, all my slave wealth will belong to you this time?" Amin was no less vigilant to Huang Taiji than Daishan. Strictly speaking, his suggestion was the best solution. If Daishan nodded, Huang Taiji's strategy would be at least half less effective.

Jierhalang smiled coldly, "In addition to being a great Jin bloodline, my major banner masters of the Later Jin Dynasty also have to rely on their own strength to firmly sit in the position of the banner master. Can I sit firmly by relying on private transactions?"
