East Factory Governor

Chapter 238 Fan Wencheng's Performance
After entering the camp, Fan Wencheng kowtowed, "My minister Fan Wencheng khan profusely."

Different from others, Fan Wencheng directly called himself "Chen" and omitted the title of "Liberation Library and Study Officer". This can be explained as his disdain for this position, and it can also be seen as his dissatisfaction with his current position.

For him, "Literary Library and Study Officer" is an insult to him who is full of knowledge and passion.He wants to make contributions, and he wants to assist the new emperor to rule the world—no matter who that person is.

This is the meaning of his life in the world.

Huang Taiji looked at the proud Fan Wencheng, but showed admiration instead.All the Han people he had met before were servile, and no one had Fan Wencheng's character.

Huang Taiji loved to read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". This novel written in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties had already been on the desks of countless heroes, and Huang Taiji couldn't put it down.Seeing Fan Wencheng, he thought for no reason of those advisers who talked and laughed in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms.

Huang Taiji believed in his intuition, he felt that Fan Wencheng might be the person he lacked.As a nomadic people, the Dajin Kingdom has never lacked warriors who can fight, but there is a great shortage of advisers who can do things.Originally, Sahalian was one of them, but unfortunately he died in Qin Shuhuai's hands as soon as he entered the fortress.

He hoped that Fan Wencheng was the adviser he was looking for.However, all counselors always stand out when the lord is in trouble, and make a decision with one word.

In this way, he put away the majesty of the sweat, and said softly like spring, "Sir, please stand up. I heard that you can break the siege of the army, what is the best strategy?"

But Fan Wencheng said, "Back to the Great Khan, I have no good plan."

As soon as he said that, there was an explosion in the tent.If you dare to come to the camp of the Great Khan without a good plan, isn't this just playing with the Great Khan?

Yue Tuo immediately roared, "Bold Hannu, how dare you tease Da Khan! Someone, pull him out and chop him up!"

However, Huang Taiji yelled at Yuetuo, "Presumptuous!"

The sound was not loud, but it made the tent quiet again.

Looking at the fearless Fan Wencheng, Huang Taiji felt more and more that he was not simple, so his tone became more humble.

"Ben Khan doesn't understand what Mr. Fan said, please show me."

Fan Wencheng chuckled and said, "Although I have no good strategy, I have a helpless strategy that can keep the army out of trouble."

"A helpless strategy?" Huang Taiji pondered for a while, and then said, "Please enlighten me, sir."

Fan Wencheng said, "Have you ever heard of the strategy of attacking east and attacking west?"

Huang Taiji loves to read the Three Kingdoms, so he has heard of "Sound from the East to the West", so he said, "I know a thing or two, but Mr. Unknown's 'Sound from the East to the West', how should I say it?"

Fan Wencheng raised his head and said, "Now my [-] troops are trapped in Hengling. In the front, Yuan Chonghuan's [-] elite cavalry ambushed. Later, He Kegang and Yutian's nearly [-] troops intercepted them. I am in a dilemma. I have watched the sky recently and night. I expect that the heavy snow will fall at least One day and one night, the mountain road will be covered with snow at that time, and it will be difficult for the army to move forward. If the Great Khan wants to go out of this Hengling, he must do it tonight, and must not wait until dawn."

Huang Taiji nodded slowly, and said, "What you said is very true, but I don't know how to get out? Please tell me clearly."

Fan Wencheng saw Mr. Huang Taiji's left sentence and his right sentence, and he was very useful.

He said unhurriedly, "Khan, our army has [-] soldiers. Originally, there was no need to fear Yuan Chonghuan's [-] cavalry soldiers, but because they had to line up when they left the valley, they could not form combat power immediately, so they were easily captured by Yuan Chonghuan. Divide and annihilate, right?"

Fan Wencheng was right.Hou Jin's army had to line up and move slowly when they came out of Hengling from the trail.For example, after the first 1000 people go out, it will take a quarter of an hour to get another 1000 people out later, and if you want to bring out the horses, the soldiers will step on the horses and gather in a row, at least double the time.By the time the last thousand soldiers had assembled, the first thousand soldiers had already been wiped out by Yuan Chonghuan's seven thousand cavalry.This is the reason why Hou Jin's army can't go out of Hengling now.

Everyone here knows this truth, Fan Wencheng is just saying common sense.But Huang Taiji still nodded in agreement, showing excellent patience and humility.

Fan Wencheng felt that he had gained enough respect from Huang Taiji, and felt that he could tell the army how to get out of trouble.

So he said, "In this case, we only need to deceive Yuan Chonghuan's army ambushing at the exit."

Yue Tuo couldn't help snorting again, and said, "Hmph, to put it simply, is Yuan Chonghuan a fool? You can lie if you want?"

Huang Taiji glanced at Yue Tuo coldly, motioning him to shut up.

Then he said to Fan Wencheng, "Since you made such a statement, you must have a trick to trick Yuan Chonghuan into leaving?"

Fan Wencheng chuckled, and said, "How difficult is it to trick him into leaving? As long as the Great Khan does what I say, Yuan Chonghuan will definitely leave Taniguchi. However, this method may cause some losses, so I just say it's a helpless strategy." '. Of course, our loss must be much smaller than going out of the valley directly, and we can still ask Yuan Chonghuan to return it."

Huang Taiji got up immediately, walked up to Fan Wencheng, and said, "Please enlighten me, sir. If the army can go out of the valley smoothly, I will worship you as my best adviser."

Outside the trail, three miles away from the mouth of the valley, Yuan Chonghuan camped.

Several generals of the Guan Ning Army were sitting by the brazier, talking with Yuan Chonghuan.

"Master, it's snowing heavily tonight. If it lasts the next night, the mountain path will be covered in heavy snow tomorrow morning. It will be even more difficult for Jiannu to cross Hengling again!"

"That's right, Jianu is in a dilemma now, and he really has become a turtle in a urn."

"General He doesn't know if he has reached Yutian? I guess it will take another hour or two? When he arrives in Yutian, he can immediately lead his troops to the trail to ambush."

"That's right, if Jiannu comes out, we'll beat him to death. If he doesn't come out, when our army gathers in Hengling, we'll wipe him out!"

"Hehe, it all depends on the ingenuity of General Qin. If you want me to say, this General Qin is really my Ming Dynasty's lucky general. With him here, the idea of ​​the supervisor's five-year flat Liao is just around the corner."

Yuan Chonghuan put his hands on the brazier and roasted for a while, his face was still tense.

This battle is too important to him.He knew that this might be the only chance to seriously injure or even wipe out the founding slave army, so he didn't want to make any mistakes.

After being silent for a while, he said, "Jianu knows that the mountains cannot be trapped for a long time. The governor estimates that they will fight trapped beasts tonight. You need to cheer up. Well, everyone will return to their duties. Let’s act according to the plan.”

At this moment, all of a sudden, the spies rushed to report.

"Report! Report to the supervisor, ten miles to the northeast of the exit of the trail, I found a large force of slave-builders coming down the mountain!"

Yuan Chonghuan's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he immediately got up and said, "Are you sure it's the main force of the slave building?"

The spy nodded and said, "Judging from the clothes and equipment, it should be the main force of slavery!"

All the generals in the account were surprised.

If the information is true, it means that Jiannu left his horses and baggage, and ran across the mountains with all his might, trying to escape at night!They appeared in the northeast direction, so they must want to run to join the six thousand cavalry near Shimenzhai!

To chase or not to chase, that is the big question!
