Sun Chengzong had no good idea about Zhou Shixiong's disappearance. The only thing he could do was to suggest to Emperor Chongzhen to issue an order to the prefectures and counties still under the Ming army to help the Jinyiwei find Zhou Shixiong. Sun Chengzong's move was a bit of a mobilization of the masses, at least it was more hopeful than Luo Yangxing's relying on the little people in his hands to find him. Emperor Chongzhen immediately nodded in agreement with the suggestion, and Luo Yangxing also breathed a sigh of relief.

While Emperor Chongzhen summoned Sun Chengzong Luo Yangxing to discuss finding Zhou Shixiong, Huang Taiji also received information sent back by his eldest son Haoge. "Everyone, Sanhe City is empty, Baiyintu and Gong Adae are missing. The most strange thing is that nearly 30% of the food and grass in Liyang Town are left behind. What do you think about this?" Huang Taiji handed over the information to Sony and asked him to show it to several flag owners.[]

Dai Shan and Amin didn't plan to speak out. They now understand why Huang Taiji asked them to attack the Ming army in Shunyi City. In fact, the strategy used by Huang Taiji is not a conspiracy, but is closer to an open conspiracy. If the two banner masters were not blinded by the bait of Zhenglan Banner, how could they fall into the trap so easily? However, after understanding Huang Taiji's purpose, they were more alert to Huang Taiji's nature. This is a person who uses any means to achieve his goal, and even if such means would hurt the Jurchen tribe, he would be willing to do so.

The Eight Banners's lords, the Zhenghuang Banner is Huangtaiji, the Inlaid Yellow Banner is Haoge, the Zhenghong Banner is How many, the Inlaid Red Banner is Yuetuo, the Zhengbai Banner is Dorgon, the Inlaid White Banner is Duoduo, the Zhenglan Banner is Mangguertai, and the Inlaid Blue Banner is Amin. This is the list of banner owners before entering the pass. Now, the Mangourtai has been deposed and the throne of the Zhenglan Banner's lord has been lost. Dorgon and Duoduo were also kept in Tongzhou because of their defeat. The affairs of the two white Banners are temporarily taken over by Ajige.

Ajige was just taking the lead for a while, so naturally he was not qualified to speak in advance. Daishan and Amin made up their minds and did not speak. The scene solidified for a while, and it was a little cunning. Huang Taiji dreamed of making a one-man show, but after all, he was used to the operation of the joint meeting of the banner leader. Now there was no other voice. Huang Taiji was a little uncomfortable. He looked at Erdeni and hoped that he could come out to save the scene.

Erdeni is worthy of being a wise man. His eyes turned and thought of a solution. Logically, he was not qualified to speak before the banner leader's speech. Who would let others be a wise man? "Sony, read everything Haoge sees and let everyone listen to it. It's too slow to see them one by one. After all, they are all important officials of my Later Jin Dynasty, and there is nothing to keep in mind."

Erdeni did not want to express his opinions, but proposed to change this meeting method, weaken the privileges of the banner owners to a certain extent, and allow civil and military officials qualified to participate in the military discussion to enjoy the same treatment. If Daishan and Amin were civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, they would definitely discover Erdeni's sinister intentions and immediately stop his behavior. Unfortunately, the two princes of the Later Jin Kingdom did not have this political sense, which allowed Erdeni's conspiracy to succeed easily.

"Yes, this word is too small, it looks tired." Amin felt that he had no intention of expressing his opinion anyway, and he agreed with Erdeni's proposal. Daishan continued to say nothing, and everyone thought he agreed to this statement. Sony took the information from Ajig and read it loudly.

After reading, he still wanted to speak on seniority. Huang Taiji looked at Erdeni and sent another signal for help. Erdeni guided Huang Taiji to look at Ajig with his eyes. Huang Taiji understood Erdeni's meaning and directly called him, "Ajig, what do you think?"

This kind of naming style has never appeared before. Ajig was stunned for a moment, looked at Daishan and Amin, and didn't understand why he would tell him first. Huang Taiji continued to stare at Ajig, ignoring his strange expression at all.

Seeing that Daishan and Amin did not respond, Ajige had to bite the bullet and said, "It was possible to break through Sanhe City silently and block the news of Sanhe City's fall, which means that the attack on Sanhe City must be the Ming army, and a large number of Ming army."

"Where did these Ming troops come from and where did they go?" Huang Taiji was a little arrogant about this question. Later Jin entered the pass and only occupied Zunhua, Santunying on the edge of the Great Wall, and Sanhe City, Tongzhou, Shunyi Huairou and other places in the capital. They did not truly blockade of Northern Zhili. Not to mention Zhou Shixiong's small troops, Zu Dashou's nearly 10,000 cavalry crossed Northern Zhili to Shanhaiguan, but the Later Jin did not notice it, which shows that Later Jin had almost no control over Northern Zhili.

"If it weren't for the snow that had fallen all night before Haoge arrived in Sanhe City, he would have found the traces of the Ming army. Now everything is covered by heavy snow. It's too difficult to determine the whereabouts of this Ming army." Jirhalang could finally speak. Even if he was Huang Taiji's confidant, he would not dare to speak nonsense at such heavyweight meetings. He should pay attention to the procedures.

"Since we can't find this Ming army, what should we do next? Should we withdraw from the outside of the pass or continue to attack Beijing City?" Huang Taiji was a little excited. It was obviously a good situation, and suddenly there was a hole everywhere. It seemed that the Jurchen warriors could only make a difference in the field. Once they arrived at the siege and defended the city, they became useless people and had no combat power.

"Khan, did Haoge say how much food and grass there are in Xiaoyang Town?" Ajige was worried about the issue of food. The war soldiers who entered the Later Jin Dynasty and strengthened more than 50,000 people, and plundered more than 60,000 Ming Dynasty people in Shunyi, Tongzhou. Because Sanhe City could no longer be able to stuff people in Tongzhou, the total number was more than 110,000 people, plus the fodder consumed by as many as 80,000 war horses every day, there was no food and grass to be dead.

"Haoge said that there are still sixteen warehouses left in Xiaoyang Town, about 300,000 stones of grain and grass." Although the Later Jin Dynasty had already established a country, it was still a relatively loose tribal alliance. Huang Taiji was willing to change this situation, but he had just been in power for three years and still had a long way to go to do this. It was already amazing to have the Eight Banners hand over the spoils. He let his subordinates who only know how to ride horses and shoot archers to make the accounts, but he would kill them.

"Three hundred thousand stones of food may not be enough for winter." The winter in Liaodong lasted for half a year, and then headed north to the source of Heilongjiang, and the winter was even longer. Erdeni first reminded the Beile present that eating enough does not mean that the whole tribe is enough for food.

Ajige doesn't care about such a long-term situation, as long as he is sure that the military rations are enough, he will be relieved. "Since there is no shortage of military rations, of course, continue to fight Beijing. The Ming army is like paper, and fighting a few more times will definitely break the city." The only young generals in the tent of Ajige's ambitions were secretly excited. Dai Shan and Amin pretended not to hear it and carefully studied the milk tea in their hands. Both of them became interested in why milk tea was so delicious.

Huang Taiji, who had long studied intelligence and had planned it, didn't want to pay attention to Ajige. It was one thing to attack Beijing City, and it was another thing to attack Beijing City. Just because of the few people in his hand that couldn't even surround Beijing City, he still wanted to break it, so where would there be birds to play with it?

"I think we should attack Yongping Prefecture. As long as we occupy Yongping Prefecture, we can threaten Shanhaiguan and Jizhen. If conditions permit, we can try to capture Jizhen. At that time, Ningyuan, Jinzhou, and Shanhaiguan will no longer stop our Later Jin cavalry, but will face the dilemma of attacking from front and back." Jiergalang quickly brought the topic back. He did not dare to let Ajige yell, and he would not be able to afford to break Huang Taiji's strategy.

Jirgalang would fool Ajig, Ajig was just an ideal type of feces. Jirgalang depicted a beautiful blueprint that seemed to be very feasible. Not only did it bring back the attention of the young generals, but even Daishan and Amin, two people who were preparing to study tea art, raised their heads and listened carefully.

"This strategy is very wonderful. In addition to Ji Town, Yongping Prefecture has heavy troops to guard, and Funing Guards are also difficult to deal with. The remaining prefectures and counties are unable to stop our Later Jin army. The best thing is that there is a large amount of food and grass there. Even if all the food and grass in Yueyang Town are lost, there is no need to worry about not having food and grass for the winter." The strategy to attack Yongping Prefecture was a collective creation of Huang Taiji and his confidants. They found inspiration in the suggestion of Erdeni's attack on the four places in the capital of the capital, and set their targets on Yongping Prefecture in the northeast of Northern Zhili.

Many people in the Khan Treasure did not see how wonderful this strategy was, but they understood the two words "Food and Grass". Although it was very pleasant to attack Beijing City, it was comparable to the temptation of "Food and Grass". When Daishan Amin abstained from the permission of others, Huang Taiji announced the withdrawal of the camp and returned to Zunhua.

On the same day, there was another place that needed attention. In the Ningyuan Army camp stationed in Guangqumen, the capital city of Guangqumen, Wang Chengyin, who was originally waiting to be punished, was released. He brought the new commander Sun Chengzong, announcing that the Ningyuan Army infantry was temporarily under Wang Chengyin's control, and informed the good news of the great victory of Shunyi of the cavalry camp. There was cheering inside and outside the capital city, but there was no movement under Guangqumen, which made the Beijing soldiers guarding Guangqumen a strange story.

Zhou Shixiong's cavalry camp has emerged in a sudden force, and whether the achievements can surpass the Guanning Army remains to be discussed. This is what Ningyuan fans say. However, there are no rivals in the contemporary era, at least in the Tianqi and Chongzhen dynasties, which are unprecedented in the previous level. Under the instigation of some people, the soldiers of Ningyuan's army had some opinions on the names Zhou Shixiong and the cavalry camp. They were certain to be disliked or displeased, and they would not believe it even if they were beaten to death.

Several 100 generals who were proud of Ningyuan Army jointly wrote a letter to Wang Chengyin, wanting to see the cavalry camp and their spoils with their own eyes. The implication is of course that they do not believe in the good news of the cavalry camp. One of them is called the Mengren 100 generals, who is as fierce as a tiger, and asked someone to write a blood book for him. (The person who wrote the blood book must be very brave. First, he does not faint blood, and secondly, he has a lot of blood.)

In the blood book, Feng Ruhu said, "If the cavalry barracks dare to ask me to check the head, no matter what the result is, Feng Ruhu will be willing to exchange my head for this opportunity!" The meaning is quite complicated, as if he is willing to exchange his head for another to check whether there is a chance to test whether the cavalry barracks' military achievements are fake.

When Wang Chengyin reported his work to Sun Chengzong, he casually told this matter. Sun Chengzong used this matter as a joke to Shen Yongmao. Somehow, even Emperor Chongzhen knew about it early the next morning. Emperor Chongzhen asked someone to bring Feng Ruhu and Bloodshu to Deshengmen, and gave the power to the cavalry camp whether to accept this challenge.
