Huang Taiji smiled faintly, "Second brother, don't be impatient." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info It's useless for you to rush now. It's hard for us to storm Zhenjiang City. ”

Huang Taiji said, slowly exhaling a breath of turbidity.

The last time Dajin besieged Zhenjiang, the Ming army could barely make any decent resistance, and in less than three days, Dajin easily broke the city.

But at this time, the past is yesterday.

Even if Dajin's main force is exhausted, but in the face of the majestic Zhenjiang City, in the face of the dense red figure on the head of the city, Dajin has no good way.

Huang Taiji deeply understands that all this is because of Li Yuanqing's house.

If there was no Li Yuanqing, Dajin would be in eastern and southern Liaoning, how could the situation be so erosive? Why did the warriors have to pay so many casualties?

"Rest easy? Eighth brother, how can I be a little restless? ”

Amin paced back and forth irritably, and after a moment, he looked at Huang Taiji and said, "Eighth brother, our grain and grass can last for a month at most." If the city can't be broken this month, will the sons and daughters be allowed to dig the ground and eat grass during the New Year? It's so cold this day, I'm afraid there is no grass, right? ”

Hearing Amin's words, the faces of everyone in the tent were a little gloomy.

Although Amin's words are ugly, they are the truth.

Losing the support of Zhenjiang City, the grain and grass of the main force of Houjin are not good at all, at this time, the ordinary minions are not saying that they are eating meat, and the soup is barely enough.

Even Dai Shan and Amin, the princes and Belle, only supply a small amount of mutton every day, and they can only rely on food to satisfy their hunger.

Huang Taiji nodded, "Second brother, this matter is also my concern." We must find a way to break the situation as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Ming army can drag it out, but we can't drag it out. ”

Amin hurriedly said: "Old eight, do you have a way?" ”

Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai were also busy looking at Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji suddenly smiled, "Well, it's not that there is no way." It's just that it's going to be hard for the boys to run more! ”

…………

For several days, the Houjin army has not attacked the city, firmly guarding its camp, densely packed with sentinels, monitoring the movements of the Ming army in the city at any time.

In the city, with such an obvious advantage, the Ming army is not in a hurry.

At this time, although the strength of the Ming army was superior, almost ninety percent of them were infantry, even if it was the Changsheng battalion, it was still very unrealistic to go out of the city and fight with the main force of the Houjin army.

Cavalry is the undisputed king of this era.

Especially the tens of thousands of troops of the Later Jin, if the Ming army loses the advantage of the city, it will be difficult to set up a position and face off against its main force.

Mao Wenlong was in a hurry, and he wanted to find a breakthrough in the Houjin army, but under Li Yuanqing's persuasion, he also slowly calmed down.

I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Without the advantage of mobility, the Ming army could only sneak attack, and the best way was to sneak attack at night.

But if you want to sneak attack, it takes time.

At this time, the wind and snow are pervasive, the weather is cold, and the time is obviously not ripe.

In the official hall of Zhenjiang City, Li Yuanqing and Mao Wenlong sat opposite each other, drinking hot tea and looking at the sand table in the field.

"Yuanqing, it's not a way to drag it out like this. I'm worried that the Tartars will attack the Chao~ fresh. Mao Wenlong sighed and looked at the east of the sand table.

Li Yuanqing nodded, "Marshal, that's exactly the case." If the Tartar army sends Yanzhou and Tieshan, our army will fall into passivity. At that time, our army will have to go out of the city to meet the battle. ”

Mao Wenlong said: "Yuanqing, what do you think?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Marshal, the so-called ruler is short, and the inch is long." If the Tartars want to attack Yanzhou and Tieshan, they should not need many troops. But if they want to carry the materials back into it, it will take a lot of manpower. ”

Although what Li Yuanqing said was a bit general, how could Mao Wenlong not understand Li Yuanqing's deep meaning? I couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and lowered my voice and said: "Yuanqing, I'm a little worried, the court is not easy to explain." ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help sneering slightly, "Dashuai, the so-called broken and then standing." If it is not broken, how can it stand? Sometimes, we have to be ruthless. ”

Mao Wenlong nodded heavily, "Yuanqing, I have to think about this matter again." ”

…………

Walking out of the door of the official hall, the cold wind was blowing on his face, and Li Yuanqing's spirit couldn't help but lift.

Frankly speaking, it would be more in Li Yuanqing's interests to let Mao Wenlong and the main force of Dongjiang leave Zhenjiang and go to a decisive battle with the main force of Houjin, or in other words, to open the entire front.

But Li Yuanqing deeply understood that Huang Taiji's covetousness for the dynasty ~ Xian has long been a day. Even if Mao Wenlong goes to save the dynasty ~ Xian, I'm afraid, it will be difficult to have a tangible effect.

Moreover, it is easy to be surrounded by reinforcements, in case, the main force of the Dongjiang River is cut and surrounded by the Houjin army, then the matter is a big deal.

As for Chao ~ Xian, although they are vassals of the Ming Dynasty, in the past few years, they have been eyebrows with Houjin, and if they don't teach them a lesson, how can they understand why 'flowers are so red'?

Of course, due to various reasons, it was difficult for the Ming army to implement this lesson.

In this way, the best 'gun' is naturally Huang Taiji.

This time, although he has to face a lot of political pressure, he has the merits of Zhenjiang City in hand, whether it is Mao Wenlong or Li Yuanqing, they all have the rhetoric to deal with it.

After all, the main force of Houjin is exhausted, and Li Yuanqing and Mao Wenlong can't be allowed to go to Yanzhou or Tieshan to rescue, right?

In case the main force encounters trouble, who can afford this responsibility?

The most important thing is that the pieces of Yanzhou and Tieshan, especially Tieshan, are thrown to Chao~ Xianren, which is really a waste.

Only after the breakage can Mao Wenlong have an open excuse to occupy the fertile land around the Iron Mountain, so that the Dongjiang River can have a truly solid soil.

It's just that this process is destined to be a little painful.

…………

It's already night, the sky is confused by the wind and snow, the north wind is whistling by, and the cold is a little outrageous.

In Zhenjiang City, there are almost no pedestrians on the streets, except for the tightly wrapped groups of night patrol soldiers, most of them are hiding in warmer homes to avoid the cold winter.

At this time, in the Ren Mansion, the charcoal fire in the brazier was booming, dispelling the cold outside and making the indoor smoke warm like spring.

A dozen people from the Ren family were gathered at a large table to enjoy a sumptuous banquet.

Tonight, it is the birthday of Ren Qizhu, the eldest son of the Ren family, after experiencing Li Yuanqing's coercion for many days, the Ren family took this opportunity to finally have some joy.

The eldest son, Ren Qizhu, carefully filled a glass of wine for Ren Dahai, and said respectfully: "Father, the child toasts you." I wish you happiness such as the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan. ”

Ren Dahai glanced at his eldest son, and a smile slowly appeared on his somewhat old face, "Boss, these days, it's hard for you." ”

Ren Qizhu hurriedly smiled: "Being able to share the worries of his father is the greatest honor for a child." ”

Ren Dahai nodded, slowly exhaled a long breath, and looked at his baby daughter Ren Ying'er who was sitting opposite him, "Li Yuanqing is really a hero." His hand made it difficult for my Ren family to choose, so I could only tie him to a rope. ”

Next to him, the second son, Ren Qichao, was busy saying: "Father, why should we succumb to Li Yuanqing's obscenity?" At this time, Daikin was already besieging the city. Why don't we ......."

Ren Qichao said, secretly making a cruel gesture.

Next to her, Ren Ying'er's pretty face couldn't help but be shocked, she never expected that the second brother, who had always been gentle and modest, would make such a decision.

Li Yuanqing's proposal to her had already been rumored in the city.

Although Li Yuanqing is tall and mighty, and his status is much higher than ordinary people, Ren Yinger was very happy, thinking that she had found a trust, but unfortunately, Li Yuanqing's methods were really a little too vicious, making it difficult for her father and brother to do it.

Many times, Ren Yinger wanted to go to Li Yuanqing's camp and ask him in person, why did he do this?

Unfortunately, she knew very well that unless things really happened, it would be difficult for her to have this opportunity.

But at this time, the second brother actually wanted to ......

Ren Ying'er was just about to speak, but at this time, Ren Dahai said coldly: "Second brother, your head was kicked by a donkey, right?" Do you really think that Li Yuanqing would not dare to kill? You~~, you go out and have a look now. Is my government as stable as Mount Tai? ”

Ren Qichao's face couldn't help but turn red, and he poured a sip of wine hard, "Dad, it's him Li Yuanqing who is unkind first, how can he blame me for the injustice of the Ren family?" I know that he has already firmly monitored our Ren family, but this may not be difficult for me! ”

Ren Dahai couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment, he didn't expect that his smart son, at this time, couldn't see the situation clearly.

Next to him, the eldest Ren Qizhu hurriedly said: "Second brother, don't talk about it yet." Dad, you are also discouraged. We are a family, and if we have anything to say, we can't sit down and discuss it. ”

Ren Dahai looked at the calm boss, and felt slightly relieved, "Boss, what do you think about this?" ”

Ren Qizhu thought for a moment and said, "Dad, now, what is in front of our Ren family is like a fork in the road. Li Yuanqing has seen Xiaomei, and he understands very well that he will definitely not suffer a loss in this transaction. And if we promise him at this time, we will surely get the greatest benefit from him. On the other hand, if this war is over, I am afraid that things will change. ”

Ren Qichao hurriedly said: "Big brother, you mean ......"

Ren Qizhu smiled and nodded, "Dad, second brother, how do you view Li Yuanqing's military appearance?" Do you think, is it possible for him and Mao Wenlong to defeat the main force of the Tartars this time? ”

Ren Dahai suddenly smiled, "Second brother, you talk first." ”

Ren Qichao also understood a lot at this time, although Li Yuanqing seemed to be a little harsh on the Ren family, but in fact, there were a lot of benefits.

Especially Li Yuanqing is the dragon and phoenix among people, just when the younger sister married him, although she can only be the fifth lady, she is not wronged.

Once it happens, then their family, won't they ......

"Dad, don't say it. Whether it's the Tartars or the Ming army, I've seen a lot of troops. But like Li Yuanqing's immortal camp, I have really never seen it. In particular, their momentum is really memorable. ”

Ren Qichao said, in his mind, he still clearly left the impression of Guan Canghai at that time.

Ren Dahai smiled and nodded, "Second brother, you are not stupid, but the key is to use it in the right place." This kind of thing is related to the fortune of the family, and it must be carefully considered, planned and planned, and must not be rash. Got it? ”

"Thank you for your father's teachings." Ren Qichao hurriedly nodded respectfully.

Ren Ying'er also understood what her father and brother meant at this time, and by this time, her father and brother seemed to be ready to bow to Li Yuanqing, and she would also ......

Looking at the respectful second child, Ren Dahai couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart, as long as this matter is promoted, his two precious sons must go to the next level.

But Ren Dahai was just about to open his mouth and make his words clear, but at this time, there was a sturdy servant outside the door, who ran over quickly and said in a low voice: "Master, two sons, the news has just come back from outside, Yanzhou, was slaughtered by the Tartars." ”
