Chapter 751 A mountain is taller than a mountain
"In the Battle of Lushun, my warriors of the Eight Banners suffered heavy losses. This is all the fault of my younger brother. I beseech the Great Khan for permission. My younger brother will go with Sahalian and do my best."

Dorgon's appearance surprised everyone.

Going to Shandong, in the eyes of many people, is not stingy to step into the dragon's lake and tiger's den.

No one can guarantee whether he can come back alive.

But Dorgon volunteered, isn't he really afraid of death?
When Huang Taiji looked over, Dorgon explained the reason.

"The Battle of Lushun was not because our soldiers of the Eight Banners were not brave enough, nor was there any omission in the various schemes. It was just because the Shandong New Army had powerful weapons, which are rare in the world. I am not reconciled, and I want to investigate on the ground. If I can learn The Shandong new army is false and true, so it can be planned for the future."

Dorgon is undoubtedly arrogant.

As Nurhachi's favorite son, he has also made outstanding military exploits since he led the army, winning every battle.

You must know that he was only one step away from the position of Khan, even in today's Houjin, he is under one person and above ten thousand.

But Lushun's disastrous defeat really made him feel ashamed and his reputation was greatly reduced.

Dorgon knew that he would never be able to lift his head if he didn't wash away this shame.

He was never lacking in courage, nor in wisdom.

Although he has never heard the proverb that if you don't enter the tiger's lair, how can you find tiger cubs, he also has the feeling that different routes lead to the same goal.

After listening to his self-analysis, Huang Taiji couldn't help but praise him.

"You have such great ambitions, so what's the point of my dajin being wasted for a while? In the future, I will definitely be able to sweep the world and avenge Lushun."

Dorgon said again: "I implore the Great Khan for permission."

"That's right."

After the weather warmed up, Yu Lichun and Geng Wanrong had been carefully guarding, waiting for Hou Jin to make a comeback.

But seeing that June was almost over, there was no movement from Houjin.

The two were worried, and even ordered the investigation team to go all the way north, and ran to the vicinity of Gaizhouwei, but there was still no sign of Houjin troops gathering.

Just when the two were confused, Hou Jin's envoy arrived.

"Shandong and our Dajin were both harmed by the brutality of the Ming emperor. We should be of one heart and one mind to punish the tyrant and restore peace to all people. Today we come here only to ask Shandong to abandon the past grievances and form a brotherly covenant. With this heart The world can be shown, and I invite you two to play it and pass it on for you."

Seeing the person in front of them, Yu Lichun and Geng Wanrong wanted to make a move.

This is Dorgon!
Back when Qingshui was closed, Bai Xiaoqi killed Amin with a single shot, and now he is now one of the four major army commanders.

Compared with Amin, Dorgon's reputation is undoubtedly even worse.

If he was cut under the knife, what kind of credit would it be?

Fortunately, the two are not ignorant savages. They still know the reason why the two armies are fighting and not killing each other.

"Please rest here, everyone, what will happen next, we need to wait for the command to reply."

The news of Dorgon and Sahalian's mission to Shandong was sent across the Bohai Sea to Zuo Menggeng and the cabinet as quickly as possible.

"For people who are not of my race, their hearts must be different. I'm afraid the Jurchens have bad intentions."

At the joint meeting, Li Banghua was somewhat resistant to this matter.

He was one of the Liaodong Iron Triangle back then, and had personally participated in the battle against the Jurchens, so he didn't have any good impression of the Jurchens.

"It seems that the Battle of Lushun really hurt the Jurchens, so they came to seek peace."

As the former leading general of the advance detachment going north, Huang Sanhu considered it more from a military point of view.

"What kind of conditions have they prepared to be sure that we will agree to seek peace?"

Zuo Rong couldn't figure it out.

It stands to reason that there has been a blood feud between Shandong and Houjin, and there is absolutely no reason to live in peace.

He also couldn't think of what conditions Houjin could come up with to stop Shandong from being hostile.

Everyone thought about this question, but there was no answer.

Zuo Menggeng was always smiling.

At this time, cheaters will take advantage of endless opportunities.

"What conditions can the Jurchens have? It's nothing more than marriage."

Zuo Menggeng is very familiar with the family history of the Jurchens, so he can see through the plans of the Jurchens at a glance.

Others just didn't think of this level. After he mentioned it, everyone understood.

"But Lushun is there, always holding the Jurchen's throat, can they really bear it?"

From a strategic point of view, Liu Yiyuan couldn't understand the significance of the Jurchens' compromise.

It was Zuo Menggeng who pushed through the clouds again, everything became clear.

"Don't just focus on Liaodong, but look at the overall situation. If my predictions are correct, the Jurchens should be planning to attack the Chahar Mongols."

Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect his brain circuits to expand so far.

"Chahar is far away in Qinghai, the Jurchens really dare to cross thousands of mountains and rivers to fight?"

Huang Zongxi raised doubts.

Zuo Menggeng pursed his lips and chuckled.

"If Chahar had been in Qinghai, the Jurchens would naturally be amazed. But what if Chahar came back?"

Everyone is even more confused, and they don't know what his arguments are.

Various historical materials flashed through Zuo Menggeng's mind, making him more confident.

"It should be that Lin Danhan is dying. Others can't convince the crowd, and there are wolves around. Chahar has no other way. In order to survive, he must return to his hometown."

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Siyi couldn't sit still.

"Although Lindan Batur is an idiot, Chahar can only be united if he is around. If he is gone, Su Tai has no idea, and Ezhe is even a waste. Chahar will definitely be swallowed by Huang Taiji."

Her expression became anxious.

"No, no matter what, Chahar must be kept steady. With Chahar around, Huang Taiji would not be able to take over Mongolia, so he would always be bound by one hand and foot. Once Chahar falls into Huang Taiji's hands, he will become a The co-owner of the grassland is rapidly expanding in strength, and it will be difficult for us to deal with him again."

Zuo Menggeng smiled meaningfully.

"Chahar is thousands of miles away, we are beyond our reach, and there is nothing we can do if we want to interfere. Besides, there is nothing wrong with letting Huang Taiji annex Chahar."

Everyone was puzzled, but they really couldn't think of Huang Taiji's annexation of Chahar, which would be beneficial to the overall situation.

Zuo Menggeng's baton was pointed at North Korea.

"Huang Taiji's annexation of the Chahar Ministry was not for the sake of Chahar's strength, but to pass on the jade seal of the country. Once he gets this thing, he will definitely call himself the emperor and build a country. And if you want the emperor's throne to be justified, you must have the grasslands. , the recognition of neighboring countries. With North Korea’s virtues, it will never agree without a beating. Therefore, after Huang Taiji annexed the Chahar Department, he will definitely use troops against North Korea.”

Hou Xun was surprised.

"Then once the Jurchens conquer North Korea, won't they be invincible?"

Zuo Menggeng nodded.

"This is Huang Taiji's strategic idea."

Hou Xun's face was gloomy.

"Since you have insight, why do you let it go?"

Zuo Menggeng looked at everyone and finally bared his fangs.

"How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch? Ladies and gentlemen, don't you think that the location of North Korea is a bit too intrusive?"
