Time passed in a hurry, and from the fifteenth day of the first month of the 8th year of the fire, the confrontation between Huaxia and Houjin began again.

But this time, Houjin is no longer passively beaten, nor is he blindly attacking.

A large number of Houjin spies continued to infiltrate the front line in China and southern Liaoning by changing their identities and bribing personnel, and the enemy and us launched an extremely concealed and cruel spy war.

In addition, the cavalry units of the Later Jin Army also began to gradually cross the Fuzhou defense line and infiltrate the Jinzhou and Lushun areas where the Huaxia Army was stationed.

In the vast hills, mountains, and plains of southern Liaoning, the enemy and us have continuously waged battles of reconnaissance, guerrilla, raids, counter-reconnaissance, anti-guerrillas, and counter-attacks.

Although the scale of these battles was not large, after a large amount of contact, all kinds of information about the Huaxia Army were finally learned by the Houjin Army.

Houjin Tartar, for Huaxia, is no longer the state of ignorance before.

······

"Ma Guangyuan, the chief officer of the Han Army Banner, played a tribute to Dajin and was blessed by God.

Since the occupation of the whole Liao, my Dajin has shocked Yanjing in one fell swoop, and then captured the ancestors with wisdom, Lin Dan Khan Khan has been running away from the expedition, and the traitor King Amin has also been wiped out while talking and laughing, and Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng in Dengzhou have broken through and ventured to vote.

If weakness is not the will of heaven in my big gold, how can all this be caused by human beings?

Nowadays, our Dajin has the whole Liao region, and the Guanning army that fought did not dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi, only the traitor Chen Xin, who was under the account of the former traitor King Amin, stole Jinzhou and Lushun, and the islands of the Dongjiang River gathered on the islands.

Such people, when our army sets out on the expedition, will wander into the Liaodong region of southern Liaoning to plunder, disturbing the people of our Dajin, like a thorn in the back.

When the Central Plains is in turmoil, it is the autumn of my Daikin to create a foundation and settle the industry, so that the two southerners are fetters, so that my Dajin can only be in a corner of peace, and it is a pity to miss the opportunity to win the world and compete in the Central Plains.

Among these two groups of enemies, Jinzhou and Lushun City are deep trenches, and they are narrowly charged.

The slave secretly thought that the Jinzhou and Lushun guarded by the traitor Chen Xin were actually the trouble of my Dajin henchmen, and the minister knelt down and asked the master to send troops to conquer on a large scale, and he would remove Chen Xin and determine the foundation of my Dajin for eternity. ”

In the hall of the Houjin Palace in Shenyang, a Han official knelt on the ground and read aloud his carefully prepared sycophant article, he was Ma Guangyuan, the former Ming army general who surrendered in Yongping in the third year of Chongzhen, and this person is now a real person in Wuzhen Chaoha.

Wuzhen Chaoha's Gushan Ezhen Tong was captured by Chen Xin in the previous battle of the late Daling River. After Wuzhen Chaoha lost the person in charge, because of the turmoil in the internal affairs of Houjin, the four major councilors Baylor was unable to directly ascend to the throne of Khan, so this position has not yet designated a new chief military officer.

This guy named Ma Guangyuan is also one of the strong contenders for the chief military officer.

In the original history before Chen Xin's crossing, this position was taken over by Shi Tingzhu, but now history has changed, not only Huang Taiji died, but also, in the subsequent Battle of Fuzhou, Houjin was defeated again.

The Wuzhen Chaoha led by Shi Tingzhu was defeated by a small raid force of the Huaxia Army, which simply lost the face of the Houjin Army, so Shi Tingzhu has now been demoted to a guerrilla, and he has no chance to compete for the position of the chief military officer of Wuzhen Chaoha for the time being.

At this moment, the council hall can be said to be crowded and shoulder to shoulder, in addition to the Jurchen Eight Banner owners, there are also the eight Gushan Ezhen who were promoted by Huang Taiji and divided the power of the Eight Banners, as well as more than a dozen Jurchen, Mongolian, Han and other ministers with different identities in the newly built six ministries.

Of course, among the people attending the meeting, there were also Gushan Ezhen of the left and right wings of Mongolia, who basically did not speak much, and the general soldiers of the Han Army Banner. These poor people, who seem to be in a high position, but dare not go beyond them at all, are thinking about each other at this moment, and they dare not come out rashly to speak.

Dolgon first glanced covertly at the other three councillors who were sitting with him, and saw that several people around him were expressionless, as if they were really deep in thought. He knew that whether it was the old Dai Shan, or the young Yue Tuo and Duoduo, they were no longer rookies who could easily see their anger at the beginning.

Then, turning his attention below, he scanned the entire hall.

Originally, when the ice and snow melted at the beginning of the year, he was ready to launch this year's campaign, but last year, he looted a large number of people from the grassland and the Xuanfu area of the Ming Dynasty, and now it is being digested and absorbed by the banners, and he does not dare to take risks.

In areas such as Houjin, where logistical supplies are extremely low, although the population captured last year has increased their base, it has also caused a food shortage this year.

If he had led people out at the beginning of the year before the spring ploughing and started the war, then if he could not loot the supplies from Chen Xin this year, then they would have starved to death in the country.

Ordinary starvation to death of hundreds of thousands of aha and baoyi, Dolgon will not pay attention to it at all, but the new tens of thousands of people have not started farming, those tens of thousands of mouths are all to eat, once so many people starve to death, then Houjin will not be far from collapse.

All this forced Dorgon to finally abandon the attack at the beginning of the year.

It wasn't until June that the entire Liaodong region entered the agricultural slack time, and he was temporarily relieved, thinking that now was a good opportunity to attack, and he could take advantage of the current gap to pull out the two eye-catching nails of Jinzhou and Lushun.

He privately consulted with various Baylors and Gushan, but a large part of them were not willing to go to southern Liaoning to fight at all, they all hoped to go to western Liaoning to loot this year.

Therefore, without the prestige that Huang Taiji has accumulated for a long time, Dolgon has not been able to carry out his attack plan, and it has been delayed until now, he can be regarded as convincing most of the flag owners, and formally put it forward at the parliamentary meeting today, so that everyone can reach a consensus.

And the Ma Guangyuan kneeling below is just a pathfinder he is looking for.

Dolgon's power is the largest among the councilors, so he sits in the middle, and beside him, one is the veteran Daishan, the other is the Dordor, who controls the elite soldiers and horses left by Nurhachi, and Yue Tuo is the last seat.

Dorgon knew very well that even if he had won the support of most of the banner lord Baylor, as long as the three around him did not reach an agreement with him, then no matter how beautiful the plan was, it would be useless.

Thinking of this, Dolgon first focused his gaze on Daizen's face again.
