Chapter 551: The battle is on the rise again

Dorgon had already guessed what Huang Taiji was worried about. When he heard him say this, he smiled and said, "Although the Khan was right, he ignored a little."

"Oh, what did I overlook?" Huang Taiji felt energetic when he saw his confident look on his face and asked hurriedly.

"Ignore the relationship between the *** people and the Ming people. Although it seems that they have reached an alliance now, the *** people will naturally be in conflict with the Ming Kingdom. Do they have no plans for their own? Similarly, the Ming Kingdom also has its own plans for treating the *** people. When the troops were sent last year, the Meng people actually wanted the Ming army to enter the grassland to save them, but what did the Ming army do? They just took advantage of the emptiness of our Great Jin Dynasty and sent troops to seize the land of Liaodong. Are they really trying to help the *** people? I think they were sitting in the mountains and watching tiger fights more." Dorgon smiled and said.

Huang Taiji frowned when he heard this, and felt that what the 14th brother said was justified. Without waiting for him to comment, Dorgon continued: "This time, the reason why the Meng people suddenly set up troops in the west of my Dajin is probably not out of their original intention. As for the news obtained by our spies, the Meng people have greatly reduced food and other things that are necessary for life since they were attacked by our Dajin last year. Now winter has come, I am afraid they can't bear it anymore. So in the end, I had no choice but to ask for help from the Ming court, and the Ming court threatened the Meng people to send troops to control my Dajin. But the Meng people and the Ming court have two hearts after all. Once they see my Dajin attacking the Ming Kingdom, and they have no great chance, they should be unmoved."

After hearing what he said, Huang Taiji pondered. He was also a hero who could see clearly the situation. He was only concerned that he could not see thoroughly like his younger brother. However, after he mentioned this, he also saw through the subtle relationship between *** and the Ming Dynasty. Seeing that Huang Taiji looked solemn and seemed to be convinced by his words, Dorgon went further: "And the Ming people thought that there was *** people in the west to restrain us. I, Dajin, would not send troops. In this way, once we sent troops, we would definitely be caught off guard!"

"Well, the fourteenth brother is right! We can't sit and watch Mingguo and the people of the *** team up without any means of counterattack." Huang Taiji nodded slightly: "But Liaodong is now all in the hands of the Ming people, and it has become a solid piece. It's not like the way forward and backward that we couldn't respond as we did back then. Can we really win in one battle? You know, although the Meng people are not the same as the Ming people, once the situation is not good for me, they will never miss the benefits of taking advantage of the fire."

"This is the difficulty that has bothered me these days, but just now, after I got the news from a detailed work, I suddenly realized." Dorgon said with a gloomy face: "I have always wanted to take back our lost land in Liaodong, so I sent a lot of detailed work to investigate the situation there since last year. Although the Ming people now have much more strict military confidentiality than before, I still let my people find out some situations, that is, the Ming army in Liaodong is not the same."

"Huh?" Huang Taiji's face immediately became solemn because of this sentence: "Take this seriously? What's going on? Tell me quickly." As the Dajin Dahan who had tried enough pains for the whole country, Huang Taiji knew that the generals had their own thoughts to be detrimental to the army. Now that Dorgon actually said this, how could he not make him moved?

"Yes!" After responding respectfully, Dorgon continued, "The detailed work I sent was dressed up as an ordinary businessman, and he was mingled in taverns and brothels in Liaodong. He learned some news from the Ming soldiers who were relaxing. It turned out that although Yuan Chonghuan, the current Liaodong governor, was appointed by the court, he was finally appointed by the court because he was a civil servant and was not good at making friends with subordinate military generals, so he was often filthy with his generals. Especially the two men who were the most capable of fighting under his command, Zhao Rujiao and Man Gui were even more worried because they were attacked by the Jin Dynasty. Yuan Chonghuan, the only one who was highly rewarded by the court.

"I heard that after seizing all the cities of my Dajin in Liaodong, I made great contributions and should have defended there with the flow, Zhao Ruo Cult, who was transferred back to Shanhaiguan by Yuan Chong for other reasons, while he himself defended in Jinzhou. In this way, Zhao Ruo Cult naturally had many complaints about this immediate superior. As for Man Gui, because he was not a Han Chinese, he was not trusted by Yuan Chonghuan, there were often unfair words spread in the army. So if my Dajin could catch this flaw, even if there were Meng people on his side, our chances of victory would be great."

"Okay, what you said is something I had never thought of before. If the internal situation of the Ming army in Liaodong is really like this, it would be an opportunity for me, Dajin. Since Sun Chengzong guarded Liaodong and blocked my Dajin's way south, we have never been able to go further. The reason is that, in addition to Sun Chengzong's skillful use of troops, his ability to convince the generals is also the key. Now if Yuan Chonghuan is replaced, I just think he is very good, but now it seems that this is not the case."

"Has the Khan made up his mind to invade Liaodong?" Dorgon immediately said anxiously. As Nurhaci's son, he also hoped to show his abilities on the battlefield.

"Although it seems that we should send troops to try it out now, this is a big event after all. Even though I am a knight, I can't make a decision. Let's wait a little longer and decide after discussing with the people in the court." After calming down for a while, Huang Taiji made a decision without any brains. Then he yawned and said, "I'm tired too. You can go home first. Once you have a decision, I will let you know."

"Yes!" With some disappointment, Dorgon withdrew from the hall. When he came outside, the respectful expression on his face disappeared: "I didn't expect that after saying so many words, he still couldn't make this decision. Then when will I really get the troops of the Zhengbai Banner that should belong to me?" He had a cold face, as if he had returned to the time when his father Khan died. At that time, the fourth brother could ascend to the position of the Khan without his father Khan's hand orders because he held military power.

From that moment on, Dorgon had a cognition in his heart that only by having soldiers in his hands could he truly get everything he wanted. Over the years, he has studied the military books written by the Han people and worked hard to practice martial arts, waiting for the arrival of that moment. In the battle last year, he had already made his mark, but his fourth brother did not hand over the Zhengbai Banner's troops to him because he was still young and could not stand alone.

This time, he spent so much effort to truly control the military power by attacking Ming Kingdom. For this day, he even kept a low profile and treated his fourth brother carefully. But now? Before he proposed to lead the army, he was rejected by Huang Taiji in an understatement, which was also a blow to him. At the same time, this also strengthened Dorgon's determination to get back his military power. Only when he had enough troops could the fourth brother not send him out in one sentence, and then he could realize his ambition step by step.

However, Dorgon was not disappointed for too long. Just two days after he talked with Huang Taiji, the Jin Kingdom decided to use troops to the Ming Dynasty. It is winter now. In previous years, the Jin Kingdom often took advantage of this season to send troops to the border of Ming Kingdom to rob. Now the other party has already been bullied. With the temperament of the Jin people, of course, they would not want to fight back.

In addition, although I snatched a lot of things from the Meng people last year, it could not meet the needs of the Jin people. After all, the supplies obtained by the Meng people were similar to those of the Jin people themselves, and they could not be compared with the exquisite things in the hands of the Han people. So after listening to Dahan's analysis and thinking that attacking Ming Kingdom was more beneficial, the Jin people's flag generals who had already been ready to move all decided on this method.

Since it was decided that he would send troops to attack Liaodong, Huang Taiji would no longer delay and immediately started his pre-war work. In fact, for the Jin army, which was mainly cavalry and used to support the war, there was not much preparation work before the war. Apart from mobilizing the troops scattered from all over the country, there was no other arrangement to arrange.

But this time it was a little different. Although the *** people should not send troops to help Ming, for safety reasons, the Jin people still dispatched all the troops to guard the west to prevent any abnormal movements of the Mongolians. In addition, they sent a lot of detailed works to go to various cities in Liaodong, and constantly promoted some disagreements about Yuan Chonghuan and his subordinates, which made the Ming army's morale not stable, and also laid the groundwork for the real war to weaken the other party's strength when they met.

After all this was done, it was already the coldest December of the year. But the Jin army obviously didn't care. Once the Khan issued an order, the army would be mobilized to go south. This time, Huang Taiji still personally led his troops to take charge of the army, and brought all the nobles and brothers he was worried about. This time he must achieve a beautiful victory, so that these people with two aspirations would not dare to cause trouble.

But just as Huang Taiji and his men left Shenyang and headed southwest, two figures with great martial arts and unpredictable skills appeared outside his Khan's golden tent. If it weren't for the many local Jurchen masters around him, these two would probably have been able to drive straight into the Khan's.

These two uninvited guests naturally had changed their minds and gave up struggling in the Ming Dynasty. Li Yan and Wang Daoqian, who came to the north, changed the situation of the battle this time...
