The process of war is not simply influenced by people's will. You can win if you want, but it is not that simple.

The situation in Liaodong has reversed, but it is too early to show that the army already has the advantage of crushing.

Therefore, although the emperor asked the frontline generals to be arrogant and impetuous and not to underestimate the enemy and advance recklessly, he did not stop them from taking action.

Wouldn't it be better if we could consume more Jiannu's strength before the major counterattack next winter and spring?

In fact, the emperor was a little over-concerned.

Xiong Tingbi and Mao Wenlong were not stupid. They both adopted steady and steady tactics to advance the front line steadily and resolutely towards Jiannu's territory.

The reason is very simple. Although the Ming army rarely took the initiative to attack for several years, relying on defense, Jiannu suffered a lot of losses, which was also a victory after a series of victory.

In the situation of dominance, whoever wins a battle will not only affect the future command of the Liaodong battlefield, but also lose face when entering Beijing to report on his work in the autumn.

Besides, when you returned to Beijing, it was almost the birthday of the Birthday. You didn’t give the good news to congratulate the emperor, but you gave the defeat to the emperor?

Therefore, although Xiong Tingbi and Mao Wenlong both actively launched military operations, they both mobilized a large number of elite soldiers and had very cautious combat plans.

To put it bluntly, the two of them meant to show off. Of course, it was also for the emperor's high hopes for the great counterattack next winter and spring, to make more preparations and occupy a more favorable situation.

The two armies in southern Liaodong seemed to have some tacit understanding and advanced to Haicheng River and Taizi River respectively and stopped moving forward.

The Haicheng River was the Haizhou Acropolis, while the Ming army in Liaodong occupied a castle and pine trees, and did not immediately advance to the Crowhu Pass.

The Later Jin side also responded to the Ming army's actions, dispatching two banners of troops to Haizhou and Jianzhou for reinforcements. This was almost the largest force they could dispatch.

Now, there are two flags in Haizhou, and the three flags in Jianzhou. Only the poor three flags are left in the heavy area of ​​Liaoshen.

According to the idea of ​​Nurhaci and others, shrinking their troops was to clench their fists and wait for the opportunity to move. If the Ming army attacked in separate ways, it might be possible to stage another "Sarhu" victory, which would improve the strategic situation in Liaodong.

However, the Ming army formed a siege on all sides with three heavy troops, including western Liao, southern Liao and eastern Liaodong, and the Mongolian tribes, and slowly advanced steadily, without giving Jiannu a chance to defeat them one by one.

From the perspective of military force, if Jiannu was dispatched, he would be able to have an advantage in western Liaoning, southern Liaoning and eastern Liaoning, although the advantage was not particularly large.

But the real threat is the three heavy army groups, and the enemy and us are not too far apart. If you attack one, you will be there. It is impossible for Jiannu to concentrate all his strength and attack one side.

Moreover, with the current combat power of the Ming army, if Jiannu really takes a gamble, even if he can defeat one side, he will end up killing one thousand enemies and losing 800 yourself.

This is also Jiannu’s biggest weakness. He is just a little bit of a person. He will not be able to turn over in the future if he fights a big and tragic battle.

Beggars are richer than local tyrants. Do you have that family background?

Even if the Ming army lost tens of thousands, with Zhu Youxiao's ruthlessness, it would be full of staff in less than a year or two. Come on, fight, it seems that you have had more births or died quickly!

What does it mean to be restrained and to look back and forth? Today’s Jiannu is.

The most deadly thing is not only manpower, but also food and supplies. The result of not being able to plunder for several years is that it is even worse than in history, and famine comes faster and earlier.

"Fushun's prince--" Huang Taiji was returning to the mansion in great depression, and Li Yongfang, who was dressed in disguise, came quietly to pay homage.

"I have seen Master Beile." Li Yongfang was thin and thin, and even if she didn't dress up, she would have changed a lot.

Huang Taiji quickly stood up and asked Li Yongfang to sit down. He felt that he was sympathetic to Li Yongfang and Huang Taiji felt that he was sympathetic, and he also admired Li Yongfang's loyalty to the Later Jin Dynasty.

Li Yongfang killed his eldest son to prove his thoughts, but he did not expect that killing his son would be in vain.

Recently, news spread again. His son-in-law Wu Changchun was in Zhenjiang. He was a capable general of Nara Zhongming. He refused to admit defeat and rebel, but he also sent someone to send letters to his father-in-law.

Li Yongfang knew that with Nurhaci's suspicion, he would not be able to recover and be reused.

As the situation in the Later Jin Dynasty gradually deteriorated, he had to worry about it. After all, the Later Jin Dynasty was about to end, and he and his family would definitely not have a good end.

It is impossible for Nurhaci to listen to the "unpleasant and honest advice", so Li Yongfang had to put his hope on Huang Taiji.

In fact, the solution is still the same as Fan Wencheng's suggestion. We value Han generals, use Han soldiers more, relax exploitation and oppression, and strive to win the hearts of the Liao people in the ruling region.

The number of Jurchens cannot increase significantly, while the Han people can make up for it to solve the dilemma of insufficient troops in the Eight Banners.

In history, after Huang Taiji inherited the Khan throne, he adopted a series of similar policies to ease the conflict between Manchu and Han, and gradually reversed the adverse situation caused by Nurhaci in his later years.

After hearing Li Yongfang's suggestion, Huang Taiji smiled bitterly and said, "Although Fushun's advice is good, he does not accept the power to implement it. Don't you know the temper of the Khan?"

Li Yongfang nodded and said, "The Four Beals have no soldiers and powers now, how can the servants not know? But are the Four Beals not thinking about countermeasures and getting rid of the current situation?"

Huang Taiji lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Bushun's prince, but he has a way, he can tell what he can do."

Li Yongfang didn't keep it a secret and said, "The attack on Jianzhou by the Ming army in Dongjiang is the opportunity for the four Beile. Leading the army to reinforce, or following the army is better than staying in this city."

Huang Taiji pondered and said, "I'm afraid King Khan will not agree."

Seeing that Huang Taiji had doubts, Li Yongfang accepted his suggestion, so he continued: "The four belles can ask the Khan to secretly go to Jianzhou to negotiate the opening of the market with North Korea."

Huang Taiji frowned and said, "North Korea is close to each other, how can he dare to trade with us?"

Li Yongfang took out a piece of information from his arms and presented it to Huang Taiji, saying, "Li Yu was in a bad position and the Ming court did not officially enthrone, so it was difficult to convince people's hearts. Therefore, the old king's confidants had a strange intention."

Huang Taiji took the information and looked at Li Yongfang with some suspicion. After reading the information, Huang Taiji fell into thought.

This information seemed to be fabricated by Li Yongfang, and of course his name was not mentioned above. But he has been in charge of the intelligence work of the Later Jin Dynasty for so many years, and it is normal for a few close friends to have them.

If this is the case, maybe my father Khan can really send him to. Zhengbai Banner is in Jianzhou. Although he is led by Ajige, the generals and senior officials in it should be more convinced of him, right?

It’s not necessary to defeat Ajige and regain Zhengbai Banner. But leaving Liaoshen, which made him ineffective, may be a way to regain authority.
