Huang Taiji was reminded, so he took the memorial from the eunuch again and read it quickly. After reading it, his fat face was very ugly.

In the memorial, Yue Tuo first apologized and then explained the specific battle situation. Then he expressed his opinion. He believed that Jinzhou City was commanded by Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, and his morale was very high. If he attacked Jinzhou without artillery, the casualties would definitely be high. Even so, it is difficult to say whether it can be defeated in the short term. Whether it is a forced attack, a siege, or a retreat, please let the emperor decide!

Huang Taiji threw the memorial to Fan Wencheng and shouted angrily: "Thankfully I believed in him and gave him this credit... heavy responsibility. Look, he even proposed withdrawing troops. This is to embarrass me. What?"

If he really retreated, then Huang Taiji's previous arrangements would be a joke! The family members of those who were killed because of criticism and those behind them may secretly instigate it again, and there is a high possibility that others will be deceived by them! Therefore, retreating is absolutely not allowed!

Fan Wencheng picked up the memorial and read it quickly. His expression was ugly. Facing Huang Taiji's roar, he was speechless!

The Qing Dynasty had soldiers, and they were elite soldiers. One Qing soldier could defeat two Ming soldiers, and ten thousand Qing soldiers would be invincible. But, there is no food! Without food, even the best soldiers are useless! The problem before us really answers the saying, it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw!

It is definitely not possible to retreat. If we attack by force, siege is the shortcoming of the Qing Dynasty. Especially since it was impossible to send internal responses to the city in advance, it was basically impossible to win it down by force! And in this winter, the weather is freezing cold, digging tunnels is just a daydream, and digging down city walls is impossible...

After much deliberation, there is no effective way to capture the city other than losing lives! For the first time, Fan Wencheng felt that his IQ seemed to be a little insufficient!

Huang Taiji had no choice but to call in his trusted ministers, such as Daishan, Jierhalang, Azige and Prince Hauge, to discuss countermeasures.

These people were summoned to the Chongzheng Hall. After hearing the news from Jinzhou, they were all dumbfounded. After Hauge came back to his senses, he was secretly glad that Huang Ama had left this matter to Yue Tuo and not to himself, otherwise he would have been embarrassed!

In this imperial meeting, Huang Taiji first set the tone, that is, they must not withdraw their troops and give up Jinzhou to the Ming army! As for the rest, let’s discuss it later.

"Your Majesty, if there is a siege, the food in Jinzhou City will be gone!" Daishan carefully put forward his opinion. The reason why he said this was that when Huang Taiji announced his previous decision, he hoped to capture the grain of the Ming army in Jinzhou City and use it to supplement the Qing Dynasty's winter grain.

Huang Taiji had a gloomy face, nodded and said, "I know!"

This means that siege is the last resort. If there is a good way to attack by force, there is no need to use this siege method.

There was nothing anyone could do, so no one spoke, and the Chongzheng Hall became very quiet. The chambermaid even tried to breathe as slowly as possible for fear of making even the slightest sound. There have been cases before where someone couldn't help but fart and lost his head.

Huang Taiji waited for a while, but when no one spoke, he became a little annoyed. He immediately shouted loudly: "This is a war in Liaodong. Since there is no good way, then build as many siege equipment as possible and use human lives to destroy Jinzhou." Pile it down for me!"

Of course, when he talks about using human lives, they will definitely not be the lives of Manchu people. Everyone knows this because it is common sense.

After hearing this, Hauge immediately supported: "Huang Ama is right, those people will die if they die, and more food can be saved!"

Huang Taiji glanced at him upon hearing the sound, and nodded this time, confirming Hauge's statement, which made Hauge very happy.

However, Huang Taiji finally frowned and said: "No matter who is attacking, there is no reason to die. At least give them a full meal so that they can have the strength to attack the city. But what about food, where does it come from? "

No matter what, the word "food" cannot be avoided! These Jianlu leaders now feel pain in their foreheads when they hear this word!

Daishan thought for a moment and then said, "How about asking the Mongolian tribes for some food?"

Hearing this suggestion, Azig and others nodded. They are allies. Now that the Qing Dynasty is short of food, it is only natural to ask them for food!

After hearing this, Huang Taiji thought carefully for a while, but finally shook his head and said: "No, the Mongolian tribes have no food. Over the past few years, winter has been a problem. And this year, in order to establish prestige, I, the Qing Dynasty, have slaughtered Ao Han tribe. If we force them to squeeze out more food, I'm afraid it will push them towards the Ming Dynasty! Don't take this step unless it is absolutely necessary!"

After hearing this conclusion, the Chongzheng Hall fell silent again. Only Hauge did not bow his head in contemplation like the others. He looked at Huang Taiji and then at the others. Perhaps because he got Huang Taiji's approval and gained courage, he suggested again: "Huang Ama, this It’s nothing, the worst thing is that it’s the same as before, just eat two-legged sheep!”

The Jianlu leaders present heard this and looked up at him. No one objected. There is really not enough food, so this is the only way!

Huang Taiji looked at the others, he felt a little unhappy. After all, he had already founded the country and became the emperor. This large-scale cannibalism made him feel a little embarrassed. But there is really no other way, so this is the only way.

He was about to decide on the timing, but found that Fan Wencheng's expression seemed a bit special, as if he was thinking about something and had an idea.

Suddenly, a glimmer of hope arose in his heart, and he quickly called his name and asked, "Fan Qing, do you have any good ideas?"

Hearing this, several people in the palace looked at him, not believing that he could come up with a better way.

Fan Wencheng heard that he was called by Huang Taiji. After a slight hesitation, he respectfully replied: "Your Majesty, I do have a way. I thought of it based on the prince."

"Oh, let's hear it!" Huang Taiji asked quickly after hearing this.

After hearing this, Hauge curled his lips slightly, revealing a hint of disdain and dissatisfaction. This Han slave is not a good person if he thinks of a way to do it over his own head!

I only heard Fan Wencheng say to Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, the guard of Jinzhou is Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai. The servant thought that this man was a Jinshi, a governor of one side, and a frontier official of the Ming Dynasty. Although he is indeed a courageous person. , a man who is brave in martial arts, but in the final analysis, he is still a civil official. Since he is a civil official, he must care about his reputation. Therefore, the slave thinks, this is his weakness, and also the weakness of Jinzhou! "
