Chapter 326: Huang Taiji's "Generosity"
Just when Chen Xin was looking at the information to kill time, waiting for the reserve to be further increased, on the side of Houjin, he also entered the next chapter.
Perhaps moved by Huang Taiji's hospitality and sincerity, or perhaps he was playing tricks, Zu Dashou proposed a new idea on top of the banquet after the previous sacrifice.
He said, "The soldiers in the city of Jinzhou are all in the old people, nephews, fellow villagers, we all have a very deep friendship, the king of the Khan to us is like a grace of reconstruction, if the king of the Khan can trust the last general, he will let the general return to Jinzhou, and when the time is right, persuade the generals, the inside should be combined with the outside, you can outwit Jinzhou." ”
Zu Dashou's words are really sleek, Huang Taiji made an oath before, sacrificed to the sky, and did so many actions at the banquet, just to subdue Zu Dashou, and at the same time set an example for Daming, and alleviate some obstacles for him to cut Ming in the future.
Now that he is forced by Zu Dashou to talk about it, he also weighs the pros and cons.
Looking at the generals of the Ming Kingdom who were either looking blazing, cowering, or hiding together towards him, Huang Taiji knew that at this time, he could only agree.
Since he has invested so much money before, it is impossible to give up again, after all, too much has been invested, at this critical moment, even if he gives up a mere ancestral birthday, he can exchange the hearts of dozens of Ming generals, and it is not a loss.
So Huang Taiji immediately agreed.
However, because Chen Xin's group of rebellious traces were found in the lower reaches of the Daling River dozens of miles away, the return date of Zu Dashou was unexpectedly delayed, and Huang Taiji said that there was still a place to borrow Zu Dashou, hoping that he could stay for a few more days.
Zu Dashou was able to get Huang Taiji's consent, and it was already an unexpected joy to return to Jinzhou, how dare he ask for more, anyway, the matter has been decided, and it will not get in the way for a few days.
In the next few days, the Houjin army and Huaxia Guo, which they called the "Chen rebel army", launched a fierce scout battle.
At the beginning, it took a few days, and they were stunned that they couldn't take much advantage of the Huaxia Army, not only did the battlefield shelter that Houjin was good at not be able to do well, but even they couldn't find out how many people Huaxia had dispatched.
After a few days of fighting, the proud generals of Houjin finally recognized the reality, and no longer dared to mock their team stationed in North Korea and the incompetence of Sukh Saha, An Buyang and others, after all, they could not get a good deal in the hands of the Huaxia army.
In this case, some of the older Baylor and ministers of Houjin have begun to persuade Huang Taiji, asking him to endure his anger for the time being and leave it for later.
Fortunately, Chen Xin had long anticipated this situation and issued instructions, asking the scouts on the front line to show the enemy weakness and lure the enemy into depth, so as to prepare for the next military operation.
So, just when Huang Taiji was restless and wavering, the scouts of Houjin finally sent back key information.
"What? Chen Wei only sent less than 5,000 people to come? He's such a big dog. The young and vigorous Duoduo was the first to scold.
Back then, it was this Chen Xin who slapped one of his cronies in front of his door and swept his face, and now he heard the news again that Chen Xin only sent 5,000 men and horses to contain their more than 50,000 troops here, and he was naturally furious.
"Chen Wei is not a reckless person, why did he do such a thing this time?" As a veteran, Abatai is also very puzzled by Chen Xin's behavior.
Dolgon, who has always been modest and intelligent, but at this time, his attention was no longer discussed, he stared at the officers who came to report the news, and asked carefully, "Just now you said, the team in the lower reaches of the Daling River, in addition to the red flag of the Huaxia Kingdom, also has the flag of Chen Yi's personal guards in the camp?" ”
"Back to Lord Belle's words, the slave really saw it, in the center of the camp, one of the several flags hung was the battalion flag of the guards under Chen Yi's command, and the slave asked several Zhengbai flag members who fled back from North Korea last year, and they had a deep impression of the tiger's head red flag, and they would never be wrong."
Dolgon frowned and pondered for a while, and then said to the people in the tent, "Listen to the report of the spies we sent to the Jiang side, since Chen Wei became king, his original personal guard has also been changed to the guard flag team, the flag has not changed, but the personnel have been greatly increased.
Moreover, this team is stationed at Chen Yi's station all year round, guarding his side and never staying away.
This is a battalion similar to the battalion of Bayala next to the Great Khan. Now, since this guard flag team has come here, does it mean that Chen Wei himself has also arrived? ”
Dolgon's bold guess caused an uproar in the tent.
"Is Chen Wei so bold?"
"yes, isn't there only 5,000 people on the other side? If Chen Wei dares to come here, it is impossible to bring such a few people, I am afraid it will not be enough to stuff our teeth. ”
In the face of everyone's doubts, Dolgon's eyes flashed, and he glanced at the silent Huang Taiji, Dolgon immediately retracted his gaze and explained, "Ladies and gentlemen, you can't underestimate this mere 5,000 people, you know, in the previous battle, the team of Chen Rebellious was pressing our scouts. ”
"Dolgon, you are just raising the morale of others and destroying your own prestige, a few days ago, it was just because we invested too few troops that it caused a stalemate, and now, after we threw in more cavalry, didn't we immediately get the situation of Chen Rebellion's army."
Dorgon was speechless, so he smiled politely, then sat down and listened to everyone.
Huang Taiji saw that Dolgon's opinion was refuted by everyone, and unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth, but this smile disappeared instantly, and no one noticed it except for Dolgon, who had been paying attention to him with his spare eyes.
Seeing that almost all the people in the tent expressed their opinions, Huang Taiji finally straightened up.
Since Huang Taiji regained the power he had lost a few years ago through multiple means, and the soldiers led the tribe to the hinterland of the behemoth of the Ming Dynasty to rob it, these Baylors and ministers in the post-Jin country were all in police uniforms, and when they saw Huang Taiji's actions at this time, they knew that he was going to speak, so everyone was immediately silent.
Huang Taiji glanced around, and was very satisfied with his own power now, "Regardless of whether Chen Yi himself arrives or not, that Huaxia army must be eliminated." Tianyu does not take it, but suffers the blame.
If Chen Shun is not there, it should be regarded as a lesson for him and let him learn to be obedient, if Chen Shun is there, it will be even better, it can be regarded as a great gift from the Bodhisattvas of the Heavens to me Dajin. ”
After Huang Taiji made the final decision, the entire Houjin camp quickly took action.
Dalinghe City is in the middle and upper reaches of the Daling River, from the mouth of the Daling River by the sea, the straight-line distance is about 20 kilometers, this time the camp, it is not simple, because the national strength of the Houjin is really unable to maintain the Dalinghe City that is now far away from Shengjing, so the city and the surrounding four trenches dug out by them, plus a three-zhang high defensive wall, all have to be demolished.
At this time, Huang Taiji was finally willing to fulfill the previous agreement with Zu Dashou and let him return to the west.
Before, he didn't know what the situation was with Chen Xinjun, who suddenly appeared on the beach, and left Zu Dashou just in case, but now, knowing the number of people on the other side, Huang Taiji, who was full of self-confidence, thought that there was no need for Zu Dashou, and he could once again use Zu Dashou as an example of buying horse bones, showing his generosity Huang Taiji.
