More than 100,000 tiger and leopard troops, under the order of Wei Zheng, entered the combat state.

In the big tent where the Emperor Taiji was located at the location of the Houjin Royal Court, Fan Wencheng was reporting to the Huang Taiji on the dragon chair with excitement on his face, a huge combat idea in his heart.

"Great Khan, in the large-scale sack we launched against the Ming Dynasty two years ago, although we looted enough wealth from the area of Zhili in the north of the Ming Dynasty. However, in the past two years, thanks to wealth, it has been almost completely consumed. In particular, the two battles against the Tiger and Leopard Army not only caused the Houjin Kingdom to lose unprecedented huge wealth, but also caused the Houjin Kingdom to suffer manpower losses for the first time. ”

"Tens of thousands of Houjin soldiers and people, and more than 100,000 Han slaves...... They were either killed by the Haw Par Army, or they were enslaved by the Haw Par Army and turned into their slaves. ”

"Under such circumstances, the minions thought that our Houjin urgently needed a battle, an unprecedented victory, to make up for these losses, so that the Houjin warriors under the command of the Great Khan could regain their morale ......."

In addition to these reasons, the Eight Banners of Han, which had just been established by the Great Khan, were also in urgent need of battle to be tested. Only on the battlefield can these cowardly Han people form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time and truly become an invincible army under the command of the Great Khan......"

Seeing the expression on the face of the Great Khan Emperor Taiji, it didn't change much because of this.

Fan Wencheng continued to speak, "Great Khan, the slave thinks. We agreed to the request put forward by the Ming court, cooperated with the Ming court, and took Liaodong. There are two other very big benefits for my Houjin. ”

"For one reason, there is no surprise. That's why we attacked Liaodong in the first place......"

"The Haw Par Army is a very powerful opponent. We want to have a stable development environment in the country. We must not let the Haw Par Army be our neighbors. Because, the Haw Par Army is our neighbor for a day, and I will have to guard against the Haw Par Army for a day. Otherwise, the Tiger and Leopard Army, which is strong in combat and has never played cards according to common sense, will definitely launch a second or even a third attack on our Houjin Kingdom. Slaughter the people of our Houjin country, and rob the cattle, sheep, horses, and wealth of our Houjin country. Little by little, weaken my Houjin country. ”

"Therefore, for this reason, we must also try our best to take Liaodong, eliminate the tiger and leopard army stationed in Liaodong, and give Houjin Guochuang a stable border pass and a stable development environment."

At this time, Huang Taiji finally spoke.

Facing Fan Wencheng, he affirmed with a look of approval: "What you said is good, military advisor. The Tiger and Par Army stayed in Liaodong for a day, and the Jin Kingdom had to draw heavy troops after me. Prepare for these Haw Par troops for a day. ”

"However, the strength of the Haw Par Army is there. If not adequately prepared. Just asking the Ming court for some heavy artillery, and hastily launching an attack on Liaodong, this is not in the interests of the Later Jin State......"

"So, Ben Khan wants to know your second reason?"

Under the gaze of Huang Taiji, Fan Wencheng replied confidently: "Great Khan, the second reason for the slave is to create a condition for the Great Khan to be called emperor......

"Although the Great Khan, you were elected Khan of the Later Jin Kingdom. However, the identity of this khan has always been canonized by the Ming Dynasty and belongs to the subject state of the Ming court, and compared with the Ming court, it is not at the same level at all. ”

"Great Khan, if you want to enter the customs, go south to the Central Plains, and become the ruler of the entire Central Plains, the first thing you need to do is to have an identity that can be equal to the Ming court, that is, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, it will definitely not be supported and recognized by the Han people in Guannai......"

"And founding the country and becoming the emperor is the only way to obtain the status of being equal to Emperor Chongzhen."

Under Fan Wencheng's inducement, the expression on Chongzhen's face had become hot little by little unconsciously. Not only that, but a pair of eyes also shot out two longing gazes.

Seeing this, Fan Wencheng's words suddenly turned around and continued: "But, Great Khan, if you want to be the emperor and have the status of being equal to Emperor Chongzhen, it is definitely more difficult than we imagined......

"Because, as long as you are the emperor, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, will attack us regardless of a single qiē. When the time comes, what we are facing may be a joint attack by the Ming Dynasty and the Tiger and Par Army......"

"At that time, if Liaodong is still in the hands of the Tiger and Leopard Army, our Houjin Kingdom will fall into a dangerous situation of being attacked by the enemy. Therefore, as long as Liaodong is still in the hands of the Tiger and Leopard Army for a day, the Great Khan will not have the environment to be the emperor, and there is no way to be the emperor, and you will be on an equal footing with Emperor Chongzhen. ”

"And right now, there is an opportunity for the Great Khan to create a situation of ascending the throne and becoming emperor..."

"As long as the Great Khan can grasp this opportunity, he agrees to cooperate with the Ming court to deal with the tiger and leopard army together. Then, after the battle is over, the Great Khan can take advantage of the situation to ascend the throne and have the opportunity to sit on an equal footing with Chongzhen. ”

After ascending the throne and becoming the emperor, under the temptation of the huge bait of the emperor, Huang Taiji was indeed moved.

However, a few months ago, the fiasco of the Houjin Tiecai cavalry in Liaodong, and the annihilation of more than 10,000 Houjin Tiecai's entire army, are still like a picture, appearing in front of Huang Taiji from time to time.

Therefore, at the same time, Huang Taiji also felt deeply jealous of the strong combat effectiveness shown by the Tiger and Leopard Army in previous battles. Yes, it's jealousy......

In less than a cup of tea, the heart-warming expression on Huang Taiji's face was once again covered with solemnity.

Facing Fan Wencheng, he asked rhetorically without the slightest hesitation: "Strategist, although your idea is good. However, can you guarantee that with the cooperation of the Ming court and the Korean army, we will definitely be able to take Liaodong and wipe out all the tiger and leopard troops stationed in Liaodong... You must know that the Tiger and Leopard Army stationed in Liaodong has been strengthened to as many as 30,000 people. ”

Fan Wencheng replied without the slightest concealment: "The Great Khan....in the face of the 30,000 well-equipped and powerful Tiger and Leopard Army, the minions are not absolutely sure that they can defeat it......

"However, taking advantage of the opportunity of the cooperation between the Later Jin State and the Ming Dynasty to send troops to Liaodong and eliminate the Liaodong Tiger and Leopard Army is only part of the minions' thoughts......"

"In addition to attacking Liaodong, the minions have another idea."

Huang Taiji's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously asked, "What do you think, say it quickly......"

"Yes, Great Khan..."

"In the negotiations with the Ming court, the slave made a request to the Ming court: in order to allow the Houjin to draw troops from all over the country, concentrate all the forces to launch an attack on Liaodong. The Ming Dynasty must reduce the number of troops stationed at the border passes, and only in this way can the Jin Kingdom be assured that it can boldly transfer troops. ”

"According to the detailed report arranged by the Jin State in the Ming Dynasty, in order to deal with the Tiger and Leopard Army, the Ming Dynasty has begun to fulfill its promise to reduce the number of more than 100,000 border army soldiers stationed at the border pass..."

"So far, some of the Ming border troops stationed at the border have shrunk from 10,000 troops to less than ...... of 5,000 now."

"In this case, the slave thinks that this stupid decision of the Ming Dynasty will also give me a chance to enter the Houjin Kingdom again, burn, kill and loot in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and plunder the wealth..."

Huang Taiji's eyes lit up, and he asked thoughtfully: "Ben Han understands....you mean to take advantage of the favorable opportunity of the Ming Dynasty to reduce the strength of the border passes." We took the opportunity to launch an attack on these border passes, re-entered the passes, and burned and looted in the Zhili generation in the north of the Ming Dynasty......"

"Even if we don't succeed in taking Liaodong and eliminating the Haw Par Army stationed in Liaodong. With the combat effectiveness of the Iron Cavalry of the Jin State after me, we can also easily capture the border pass that is insufficient in the eyes of the border forces of the Ming Dynasty. Then, he entered the northern Zhili of the Ming Dynasty, plundered wealth in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and made up for the losses of the many defeats of the Jin Kingdom after my country..."

"Great Khan Wise ......" Fan Wencheng slapped Huang Taiji on the back very at the right time.

Then, with a flattering face, he continued: "The Great Khan....in the eyes of the minions, this can definitely be called the best of both worlds... Therefore, the minions pleaded with the Great Khan to agree to the request of the Ming court and cooperate with the Ming court to attack Liaodong......"

"Of course, this is all superficial. As for secretly, how our Houjin Kingdom wants to fight, that is our Houjin State's own business, and it has nothing to do with the cooperation between us and the Ming Dynasty. ”

At this time, the worry on Huang Taiji's face finally disappeared.

Affirming Fan Wencheng: "Okay, it's really a good way to get the best of both worlds....as long as the Houjin Kingdom does what the military advisor says, the Houjin Kingdom will be invincible...... Very good, very good..."

"Strategist, immediately let someone inform the major Baylors, and quickly come to Ben Khan's big tent, Ben Khan wants to discuss military affairs with them......

Later Jin Emperor Taiji, for his own ambitions, began to carry out secret layouts in the Later Jin Kingdom. Far away in the Daming Palace in Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen was immersed in excitement.

At the same time, Zhang Qianshu, who was standing in front of Emperor Chongzhen, and several cabinet lords, also shared the secret report sent back to the imperial court by the envoy of the Jin State after the secret envoy with a smile on their faces.

After reading the secret report in his hand again, Emperor Chongzhen, who was full of smiles, praised Zhang Qianshu without hesitation: "Zhang Aiqing, you are worthy of being my humerus minister... I just became the head of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, and I solved such a big problem......"

"I believe that with the cooperation of the Houjin Iron Cavalry and the Korean army, the 30,000 tiger and leopard troops stationed in Liaodong will only have one ending left..."

"As long as the 30,000 tiger and leopard army in Liaodong is wiped out, the tiger and leopard army in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces will be greatly affected, and it will be an unprecedented blow to the period of the tiger and leopard army."

"When the time comes, the Haw Par Army will fall into a situation of endless death with the Houjin Tartars and the North Korean army."

"And the imperial court, you can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman..." (to be continued......)
