Xiong Tingbi nodded.

"When will we counterattack?"

"There is no need to wait for other troops. Our Liao army can take down the old village in no time. The captured people can't wait for these few days!"

The generals could no longer restrain their inner excitement, and began to ask again and again, until Xiong Tingbi gradually became serious and kept silent, and then they became quiet.

"Don't talk anymore?"

He looked around coldly, and said solemnly: "I, Xiong Tingbi, have been in Liao Dynasty for more than [-] years, and what I did was the day of the counterattack!"

"To be honest, I'm more excited than you."

"But the counterattack is easy to talk about. How much we know about the real situation of Jiannu, don't let the wind leak. You just need to know that this is the largest battle since the beginning of this dynasty."

"For this campaign, not only our Liao army, but also the imperial court will send out troops from the Nine Sides and Central Plains Guards, at least 30 people!"

"The success or failure of this battle is related to the survival of our Liao land and the prosperity and decline of the Ming Dynasty. We must not underestimate the enemy or be careless. How long has it been since Saerhu's defeat?"

After Xiong Tingbi's harsh reprimand, the fiery hearts of all the generals cooled down, and they all fell silent.

After the meeting was over, Cao Wenzhao stayed.

Xiong Tingbi asked, "Why isn't Wen Zhao leaving?"

Cao Wenzhao was silent for a long time, and asked: "Taiwan was not like this in the past. For such an important matter, the court just got wind of it, and it told the generals before seeing the imperial edict."

"Taitai is not afraid..."

"Does Wen Zhao want to say that the governor is not afraid that someone will leak the news, so that Jiannu should prepare in advance?" Xiong Tingbi said with a slight smile.

Seeing Cao Wenzhao nodding, he smiled and said, "I have said long ago that as long as we stay safe for a period of time, Jiannu will collapse without a fight. Now is the time."

Cao Wenzhao nodded and continued to listen.

Xiong Tingbi got up, came to the sand table, and looked in the direction of Hetuala.

"Jianzhou didn't have many acres of land. After being driven out of the Liao land, our Liaodong army took strict precautions and did not let them take advantage of it."

"This year in the Jianzhou area, there is no harvest. The slave chiefs came to invade this time, not for Shenyang, but to grab grain. The soldiers of our Liao army took the lead bravely, and failed to let the slave chiefs succeed in their tricks."

"After the slave chiefs returned to the old village, people in Jianzhou must be in panic. Judging from the current situation in Liaodong, as long as the border is guarded, even if we don't fight, its demise will only be in the past ten or twenty years."

For this, Cao Wenzhao agreed very much, saying:

"What Taiwan said is very true. In recent years, our department has frequently spread scouts to Jianzhou, and we already know everything about it. Tianzhuang is the place where the Tartars suppressed me and captured the Han people."

Afterwards, he sighed: "There is not much harvest in Jianzhou this year, and this time we have to return home. I am afraid that the Han people will suffer from the inhuman abuse of the Tartars again."

When Xiong Tingbi heard this, he didn't feel very happy.

Those who fought in Liaodong, whether he was a supervisor or ordinary soldiers, who had not been murdered by the Tartars, and who did not hold blood and deep hatred.

"Now the biggest enemy is not the Jin people, but within our army."

When Cao Wenzhao heard the words, he suddenly realized.

Chapter 897 The Status Quo of Empress Gold

The entire army was defeated, and many Baylor who accompanied the army were also seriously injured. Even Porto, known as a warrior, died under the city of Hetuala.

It is said that Porto was seriously injured at the hands of a Ming Dynasty soldier named Xue Laiyin.

Xiong Tingbi's guess was right. After the news came back, Jin couldn't block it no matter what.

For a time, people everywhere panicked.

In the back garden of King Khan’s Palace in Hetuala, Huang Taiji’s concubine, Borzigit Zhezhe from the Mongolian Horqin Grassland, was singing a folk song widely sung by the Horqin people in a low voice.

Several Han people were dressed in clothes, serving as court ladies and eunuchs in Qing palace operas, listening to the scene with half understanding.

This melody has often appeared in the Khan Palace of Hetuala since the Horqin tribe was defeated by the Ming Dynasty and the Monan and Saibei tribes.

Now in the Khan Palace of Huang Taiji, there are not a few people who have carried out political marriages in order to unite the Mongolian tribes, but now, their status is very embarrassing.

First it was Saibei, then Monan, and finally even Mobei's strong tribes Tumed and Horqin could not keep their existence, and their existence was meaningless.

During the few days when the news came, Zhezhe was in tears all day long, maybe because of guilt, even Huang Taiji came less often.

Fortunately, so far, there has been no news that Da Khan wants to drive them out of the palace.

Even so, it doesn't stop these concubines who have nothing to do to sit here, daydreaming and guessing.

"My maidservant, please ask the eldest lady Jin An." At this time, a court lady walked in on her feet, and when she met her, she knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times.

From that look, the action of kneeling is obviously extremely skilled.

Zhe Zhe said silently: "Get up, what's the matter?"

The maid hesitated for a while, then said: "The servant heard the news, saying that there was news from Liaodong, and the Great Khan summoned all the princes and ministers, and they have been discussing for several days."

"What's the news? Can the Ming army still fight against such a mobilizing force?" A woman chuckled lightly.

Zhe Zhe looked over and snorted coldly:

"Who am I, Da Yuer from Yongfu Palace?"

"Let me tell you, she is as virtuous as her father, Zaisang. No wonder she has never touched her since she entered the palace last year!"

"I'm not backing down. The Khan has lost battles these days, and the dragon is not in good health. I can't see things running around and talking nonsense."

Zaisang, one of the elders of the Horqin Department, was a competitor with Zhezhe's father, and sent Bumbutai to Huang Taiji's tent to improve his prestige.

After all, Auba has not made any political achievements since being promoted to Horqin Khan's position again by Huang Taiji, and many people inside are already dissatisfied with him.

After a burst of scolding, the smile on Bumbutai's face froze.

Originally, she was only planning to ease the tense atmosphere, but was once again wronged by Zhe Zhe as if she was a punching bag, and stood there in a daze, a little at a loss.

The pink cheongsam, the graceful figure, pressed on the white and tender neck, and the appearance of a grassland woman, making her appear more delicate and strong.

A little powder and daisy is applied, but it seems to be better than the rest of the concubines.

It's no wonder that she is the number one beauty in the Horqin tribe, even Huang Taiji couldn't take a look at her, and married two Horqin women for the first time.

It seems that Da Yuer is the one who belongs to Huang Taiji's heart, and her Zhezhe is nothing more than a political marriage that has been in love for a long time.

The more he thought about this, the angrier Zhezhe felt.

With the news of Horqin's fall, Zhezhe no longer seemed to be in harmony with Dayuer as usual, and didn't even bother to pretend.

But this time, Bumbutai really couldn't take it anymore.

Can't bear the cynicism that Zhezhe has been giving himself for a long time.

"Auntie, what you said is wrong. You are from the Horqin tribe, and I am also from the Horqin tribe. You and I are of the same noble blood. How can you say such a thing?"

"What's the matter? I'm also Da Khan's concubine, Da Jin's concubine Zhuang, it's not up to you to teach me like this? Isn't this also slapping Da Khan in the face?"

Zhezhe didn't expect Bumbutai to be so courageous today, and immediately replied: "Da Yuer, in front of so many sisters, do you want to compete with me?"

"You just entered the palace last year, and you are only 15 years old this year. You are as beautiful as a flower, and you were just dressed up in fancy clothes at first, but when is it now?"

"Since Da Khan married you into the palace last year, Da Jin has not had a good life. He went on an expedition to North Korea, and Da Khan came back to rest for more than a year. He just regained his composure and lost the battle again."

"Who are you dressing like this for? I wonder if Da Khan has a lot of troubles recently, and the dragon body is nervous?"

Bumbutai muttered, "If he loses the battle, that's his own business. Do you think I'm willing to enter the palace?"

"What did you say?" Zhezhe asked.

Bu Mu Butai immediately said: "It's the concubine's mistake, the concubine shouldn't be rude, please forgive me, my aunt! Is this all right?"

Zhezhe actually didn't want to make too much noise. After all, there are many people in the harem, and there are people from any department.

After all, Da Yu'er is young and beautiful, and it's a good thing that Da Khan hasn't touched her yet.

If Da Khan thought he was going to embarrass her and deliberately moved her in order to give her status, he would be shooting himself in the foot.

Thinking of this, Zhezhe felt better.

"Get up, remember it later." Then he looked at the obedient court lady and said, "Go on, what's the matter."

Only now did the palace maid dare to continue speaking, and she didn't dare to raise her head.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Ming army is coming."

"The news from Liaodong said that Xiong Tingbi, the economic strategist of Liaodong, invited the imperial court to counterattack us. The Ming court mobilized 30 troops from the pass, and it may have already gone out."

Bumbutai didn't want to be right. She never expected that the invincible Dajin ten years ago would collapse so quickly.

Nurhachi hadn't died for a few years, and the Ming army dared to counterattack.

Father, father, are you sending your daughter to the grave?

Except for Da Yuer, Zhe Zhe and the concubines also looked like the sky had fallen.

"Oh my god, 30 people! It's only been so many years since Saarhu defeated 50 of them, how can they still get so many people?"

……

In addition to the harem, which seems to be in harmony with the gods, the current palace of King Khan is also in chaos.

The news that Xiong Tingbi said in Shenyang City arrived at Hetuala the next day, even faster than Huang Taiji's withdrawal.

Huang Taiji didn't take a moment's rest, and he didn't enter the harem after counting. As soon as he returned to the old village, he summoned all the princes and princes Baylor to discuss matters without stopping.

Hearing this news, everyone's face was not good.

Originally, Huang Taiji's status had become somewhat stable with the formation of the four major Baylor co-governance situations, but with successive failures, his Khan status began to be shaken.

Many people began to lean towards Daishan, the older and prudent owner of the two red flags and one of the four major Baylors.

Chapter 898 It's up to you

Within a few days, the news that the Ming army was about to launch a large-scale counterattack reached the ears of Hetuala, the princes of the Eight Banners, and Baylor.

As early as before Nurhachi died, Huang Taiji was the one who did the best espionage work among the scholars, and it was all thanks to Dongjiang Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang army was not in such a good situation at that time, hanging in Zhenjiang alone, the most important thing was careful work, in order to be able to withdraw at any time before the attack of the Houjin army.

Huang Taiji followed you, and he himself was also a talented person, so he didn't want to develop the good habit of not only holding on to courage but also focusing on ingenuity when encountering difficulties.

Now, most of the cities and towns on the Liaodong border of the Ming Dynasty have his cronies dispatched by Huang Taiji, and there are even quite a few of them in the Liaodong Army.

The leader of Liaodong's detailed operation is Xu Fu, Yuan Chonghuan's general who once served as the military commander of Ningyuan, and the current commander of Gaizhou Guard.

The reason why the news that Xiong Tingbi sent out on the night when he repelled Huang Taiji reached Hetuala so quickly was precisely because Xu Fu sent someone to report the troubles of the Liaodong Army.

Hearing the news that the Ming court was going to launch another army to crusade against Jianzhou, Dai Shan, the commander of the two red flags, and A Min, the commander of the Zhenglan flag, who were patrolling the army, were also called back.

Huang Taiji was sitting on the big tiger-skin chair, under the two thick eyebrows, a pair of tiger eyes were piercing, and there was no sign of panic or fear at all.

Everyone saw him so calm, just like Tianming Khan during the Sarhu War in the past, everyone quickly stabilized their emotions.

Huang Taiji glanced around and said slowly:

"The Ming court will take Xiong Tingbi, the Governor of Liaodong, as the commander, and gather all the elites from Shandong, Jifu, and Xuanda, claiming to have an army of 30, and leave Shanhaiguan to reach Liaoyang."

"It is said that they will also transfer troops from the guards of the Central Plains, with Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Shanxi Province, as the commander, and form a second army. Starting from Shenyang, there will also be Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, as the third army."

"The Ming court will soon offend my Dajin and fight to the death with me. You must have heard the news, right?"

When the crowd heard the question from the Khan, they looked at each other and replied one after another: "The servants and others have heard about it."

Turge, one of the five ministers, shook his iron armor and said with great momentum:

"The Ming court has not yet learned the lesson of the Battle of Sarhu, and it is still attacking from three directions. I can still use the strategy of Tianming Khan to deal with it."

"How many ways I have come, I will only go all the way!"

"The Ming army has two roads on land and one road on sea. It is impossible to arrive at the same time. Although Zhu Xieyuan is strong, the guards under his command are all idiots!"

Many people were infected by Turg's words and burst out laughing.

"The soldiers of the Central Plains Guards, my Daikin warriors, can defeat them with a single charge!"

"As long as the Ming army is repelled this time, the entire Liaodong will belong to our Daijin sooner or later!"

All the princes and princes Baylor burst out laughing, and Fan Wencheng also laughed, but he was laughing at these Baylor and the princes.

At this time, Huang Taiji, who noticed Fan Wencheng's movements, looked over and asked, "I see, Mr. Fan seems to have something to say?"

Fan Wencheng also knew that Huang Taiji wanted to improve morale, but it is not a good thing to underestimate the Ming army too much. He organized his thoughts in his heart and joked:
