On the contrary, Xiong Tingbi, as if the reinforcements were coming in a blink of an eye, first raised his tent in Liaoyang, and then scattered his sentry and cavalry.

This tone, sooner or later, he will get it back.

It's just that before he can act impulsively, he has already arranged a strategy around Shenyang, Shenyang has become an isolated city, and now he only needs to wait for the Ming reinforcements to arrive, and they can be wiped out in one go.

It's just that at this time, Mao Wenlong, the bedbug in Dongjiang, made a fuss again. It is said that even North Korea sent troops to help.

Leading the army was Jin Jingrui, the adjutant of the Korean Marshal Kim Hongli during the Battle of Saerhu.

Nurhachi was still thinking in his heart that when the war was over, he would order Amin to lead his army to move eastward, conquer North Korea, and pacify all his surroundings.

Suddenly a guard in white clothes and armor walked into the court tent and said in a panic:

"Kundulun Khan, the four great Baylors and other ministers asked to see him, saying that he has something important to report, will the Khan see you or not?"

Nurhachi's heart skipped a beat, wondering to himself.

All the four major Baylors have come together, what is this for, and they also said that they have something to ask for an interview, could something be wrong?

He dressed in a hurry, came out of the inner tent, and saw Daishan, Amin, Mangurtai, Huang Taiji, the four major Baylors outside, and five ministers of state affairs.

Among the four Baylors, Huang Taiji is ranked last, which does not mean that his status is low.

In the second month of the sixth year of Destiny, Nurhachi had ordered that the four major Baylors should be divided into departments on a monthly basis, and that Zhiyue Baylor should be in charge of all the maintenance in the country.

In terms of status and rights alone, Huang Taiji is equal to Daishan, Manggurtai, and Amin, not to mention that he and Amin are still allies in dealing with Dorgon.

They all looked dignified, and Mang Gurtai seemed quite angry. Only Nurhachi still looked confused and couldn't figure out the situation.

After all, he is the Great Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty, and he is also the Kundulun Khan honored by Horqin and other tribes in Mongolia. No matter what happens, he must maintain his demeanor.

"Four princes, dear ministers, please hurry up, don't be in a hurry, if you have anything to say, speak slowly, and tell Ben Khan in detail, what happened?"

Dai Shan and the other four Baylors still knelt down, and all the ministers were unmoved. This also made Nurhachi suddenly realize the seriousness of the matter, and said sternly:

"Get up, what's going on?"

Now, even Nurhachi felt a little panicked.

Then everyone stood up and looked at each other. Under Daishan's eyes, Hu Erhan, one of the five ministers, stood up and was about to salute tremblingly before kneeling.

Nurhachi quickly helped him up himself, and said:

"Darhan doesn't need to kneel down any more. You are old enough that you don't need to go out with the army at all in this battle. You should stay in Hetuala and wait for the army to triumph."

Hu Erhan, Tong Jiashi, one of the five founding ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty, Li Nuzhen Baiqi people, lived in the ancient village of Yaer for generations, and assisted Jianzhou to annex the Wula tribe.

In the first year of Tianqi, he lured He Shixian out of the city and set up an ambush to defeat Yu Pingyuan.

Nurhachi bestowed the title "Darhan" to show his achievements.

"Your minister has the courage to report the matter of Kundulun Khan."

"The Horqin tribe was ambushed by Zaisai on the banks of the Suwen River, and they were defeated and scattered. Auba fled back to Horqin overnight. All the relatives and relatives were separated, and they were busy fighting the chaos..."

With Hu Erhan's status, he called himself a small minister in front of Nurhachi, which is enough to show the importance of this matter.

Daishan asked Hu Erhan to speak, because he was afraid that Nurhachi would take his anger on them. Hu Erhan is an old man with outstanding military exploits, so even if he gets mad, he will definitely take it easy.

Because what they want to talk about is not just the Horqin fiasco. This is just an appetizer, and there are more exciting things to come.

Let other people say that they are afraid of being chopped off by Nurhachi in a fit of anger.

"After Ouba failed this battle, he returned to the Horqin tribe and was accused of being inferior to his younger brother Budaqi. Many small tribes that belonged to Horqin took the opportunity to rebel, and the Horqin tribe could not count on it."

As Hu Erhan said, he kept coughing, as if reminding Nurhachi, old man, my bones are not good, so please be careful when you speak, and don't call me dead.

Nurhachi couldn't help taking a breath, he was indeed a little angry.

It's just that he can restrain his anger. After all, it was Horqin who was defeated, not their Eight Banners army.

As for the trouble Auba got into when he returned to Horqin, this one is more troublesome.

If left alone, Auba's rule in the Horqin tribe is very likely to be overthrown. In that case, the marriage between Dajin and Horqin for generations will have no effect.

"So that's what happened."

Nurhachi chuckled and said:

"Ben Khan had expected that the Horqin tribe would be useless, but he didn't expect that they would be defeated by a mere Zaiser. He quickly sent people to Neikalka and asked them to join forces with four troops to destroy Zaiser first. Take down Fuyuwei."

He had already ordered, but the four Baylor and the ministers present looked at each other, and no one went out to convey the order.

Nurhachi soon understood that they hadn't finished talking.

"What? Darhan still has something to say to Ben Khan?"

Old Hu Erhan burst into tears and said: "Khan! The Ming army didn't come to Liaodong. After Zhu Xieyuan left the pass, the gongs and drums were beating loudly, and the flags covered the sky, but they rushed to Fuyuwei!"

"The current Fuyu Guard, Horqin's new defeat, and the four divisions of Neikalkha may not be able to withstand the counterattack of Uziyet and the Ming army..."

"Khan, make up your mind!"

The four major Baylors around him and the ministers all echoed:

"Khan please make the decision!"

"Should we go to Fuyuwei or Liaoyang, sweat!"

The tent was suddenly in chaos.

Nurhachi thought that he had deceived the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty in this battle, but he didn't expect that he was tricked by the opponent's slapstick.

Seeing that Nurhachi sat on the top without making a sound for a long time, the four major Baylors and the ministers wisely shut up one by one, stood below, and waited quietly for a reply.

Nurhachi was overwhelmed, angry and humiliated, suffering unspeakably.

His face became gloomy uncontrollably. This battle has long been known to everyone in the world, even North Korea in the south and Chahar in the west.

Being tricked by the Ming Dynasty, he nestled outside the city of Shenyang with weak military equipment and did not move for half a month.When the news spread, even if he became a laughing stock, it would certainly shock the army!

When there was silence in the tent, Fan Wencheng, Nurhachi's loyal son-in-law, also rushed over after hearing the news, and stood aside with a serious look on his face.

Horqin's unexpected defeat at the hands of Uziyet had already dampened the morale of the army. If the Ming army entered Fuyuwei again, the five coalition forces would definitely not be able to resist.

If there is a big disturbance over there, it will also destabilize the morale of the Eight Banners army, and may even shake the foundation of Dajin!

Nurhachi's expression kept changing, and finally he slowly regained his composure. He looked in the direction of Fuyuwei, looked at Fan Wencheng, and asked lightly:

"Sir, tell me, what should Ben Khan do now?"

Since Fan Wencheng came, he already had a plan in mind. He raised his hand and said calmly: "Please send troops immediately and attack Shenyang with all your strength!"

"It was Horqin who was defeated, and our Dajin was not defeated. The fighting power of the Ming army is not strong, and the four divisions of Neikalkha are all cavalry. Even if they cannot win, they will not be defeated quickly."

"With the strength of the Ming army in Liaoyang, self-protection is still insufficient, and it is impossible to support Shenyang. Shenyang is just an isolated city now!"

Nurhachi nodded slightly.

Fan Wencheng's opinions were always simple and clear, and he understood that the only way out now was to use the powerful fighting power of his Eight Banners army to attack Shenyang with all his strength.

As long as Shenyang is captured and the capital is quickly moved, not only can the morale of the army be stabilized, but also the will to resist the Ming army in Liaoyang can be hit.

Even, it may bring disputes within the Ming Dynasty whether to help Liaoshen or continue to help Fuyuwei!

Nurhachi was silent for a long time, then suddenly got up and said:

"Here's an order to order Mang Gurtai and Amin to lead the Eight Banners Army with [-] troops each as vanguards to encircle Shenyang, and Dabeile Daishan to lead [-] troops to threaten Liaoyang."

"The rest will be with Ben Khan and can be transferred at any time!"

"twitter!"

The Ba Yala guards in white clothes and armor quickly turned around, ran out of the court tent, and sent orders to the various ministries.

Not long after, the Hou Jin army camp moved quickly. Those who pulled out the camp and mobilized their troops, hoofs sounded like thunder, and dust and smoke billowed, approaching Shenyang and Liaoyang as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was sinking.

Chapter 352 Urging North Korea

Liaoyang, the north corner of the city.

"The slave soldiers have gone to Shenyang."

General Wang Song put down the binoculars in his hand, sighed and said, "The imperial court shouldn't have declared Suwenhe's victory with great fanfare. Now it's all right, and Jiannu will know about it."

"What's this?"

Cao Wenzhao is now also a general, but unlike the one in front of him, he is Xiong Tingbi's confidant and favorite general.

Although they are both generals, Wang Song also knows that Cao Wenzhao is brave and good at fighting, and his future prospects are definitely not comparable to his own.

He glanced back and said nothing.

"East Liaodong has long been infiltrated by Jiannu and turned into a sieve. Even if the imperial court doesn't pass on the victory of the first nine sides, the slave chieftain will know sooner or later."

"Reporting victory in advance can also stabilize people's hearts and boost morale."

Wang Song was dumbfounded, he hadn't thought of this.

After Cao Wenzhao finished speaking, he took out the map he was carrying with him, and then thought about the news he got from his subordinates last night, sighed in his heart, and said:

"This time is definitely not the past. Jiannu is here to fight for his life, not to attack the city. It is said that the slave chieftain has already made plans to capture Shenyang and move the capital."

Wang Song was very surprised and said:

"Move the capital? Is it crazy to build a slave..."

"Except for Man Gui, I am afraid that no one can take on this task and resist the Jiannu soldiers."

Cao Wenzhao looked in the direction of Shenyang, thinking in his heart whether he should send troops to harass Jiannu to relieve the pressure on the Shenyang defenders.

At this time, Xiong Tingbi and others also rushed over, and Cao Wenzhao immediately greeted him and asked, "Taitai, can Man Gui stop it?"

Only they know the situation in Shenyang.

The faces of Xue Laiyin and others were also full of worries. Shenyang is an important town in Liaodong. In the past three years, Daming and Houjin have surrounded Shenyang and fought for it many times.

Shenyang was captured twice by Jiannu and recaptured by the Ming army twice.

After several repetitions, Chenghuan has long been dilapidated, and the people inside either fled with their families, or were harassed and looted by slave soldiers, so they should have given up long ago.

However, Xiong Tingbi insisted on guarding Shenyang no matter what, and he even did not hesitate to be criticized by the courtiers and impeached by the officials.

Fortunately, the emperor Shengming, Qian Gang was arbitrary, and strongly advocated maintaining Liaoshen.

Why Xiong Tingbi did this, those high-ranking civil servants above the court of the capital would not understand, only the generals like them knew best.

If Shenyang falls, it is only a matter of time before Liaoyang is captured. It is estimated that it will be difficult to hold on for half a year. At that time, the entire Liaoshen Plain will fall in a very short period of time!

The so-called Liaodong, but there is only Guangning Songjin line left...

Cao Wenzhao admired Xiong Tingbi very much. He had only met Xue Laiyin, the commander-in-chief of Datong who aided Liaoyang, only a few times. When they were in Liaoyang, they each had missions and did not meet each other very often.

Xiong Tingbi pressed one hand on the city bricks, thinking about things ecstatically.

Xue Laiyin thought for a while, then frowned and said:

"Disaster."

Although Shenyang City is large, there are few residents and guards, and the battlements have been repaired several times, but they are not as solid as before.

In addition, the Houjin army has been attacking the city in Liaodong for many years and has a set of siege methods. This is no longer a question of ability. The strength gap between the two sides is too great.

With Man Gui replaced, Shenyang may fall faster.

Even Xiong Tingbi recognized Man Gui's abilities, otherwise he would not have been allowed to guard Shenyang, a frontier city.

The problem now is that after hearing of Horqin's fiasco, the reinforcements will not come to Liaodong in a short time, and Hou Jin is impatient.

If they use their weapons to attack the city with all their strength regardless of the cost of casualties, the current Shenyang City may not be able to hold for three days.

Xiong Tingbi doesn't talk much at ordinary times, but he speaks the essence.

He stood on the turret and looked into the distance for a while, then looked down at the map marked by Cao Wenzhao, and said, "If my predictions are correct, there must be a large army of slave soldiers coming to Liaoyang."

"The Shenyang area has many mountains and rivers, and the terrain is narrow. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, the number of defenders and slaves is very different. Now we can only stick to it."

"However, the area around Liaoyang is all plains, and the slave army is divided into troops. Our army stationed in one place, with strong walls and clear fields, and the slave soldiers will only take advantage of the gap to enter and make trouble in all directions."

"Pass down our military order to order all the cities, forts, towns, and offices around Liaoyang to be broken up into pieces, to come in and out in turn, to roam around and attack, so that the slave soldiers in the south will not know how deep they are."

"The slave army must not dare to go deep alone, which buys time for the three parties to attack together."

Xiong Tingbi's final strategy is a three-party attack.

The so-called three-party joint attack is Xiong Tingbi's strategic intention to strive to join forces in Liaoshen with Sun Chengzong of Guangning, Jin Jingrui of North Korea, and Zhu Xieyuan of Fuyu.
