Chapter 342 A New Round Begins Again
(PS: A new round of Gou Shao and Jian Nu's contest has begun, ask for a monthly ticket.)
As time passed, the gloomy sky returned to darkness, and the wind became stronger, making people feel cold all over the body, and there was a faint scene of midwinter approaching.In this cold windy day, the moods of Young Master Zhang and Nuerhachi have already entered the twelfth lunar month of winter, into the world of ice and snow. My heart feels like a knife is twisted, and my grief and indignation are inexplicable!

The young master Zhang who won the battle definitely didn't get cheap and good-looking. After a bloody battle that increased overnight and half a day, the Ming army killed more than 8000 soldiers, and the Tianxiong team of the slave slaughter army was basically disabled. The number of dead soldiers exceeded the established number It was more than half, and the total casualties of the Tiger Hunters and Wolf Cavalry were close to 1000—this was the heaviest loss for the Slave Slaughter Army since its establishment.As for the loss of horses, ammunition, weapons, and luggage, as well as the number of wounded soldiers who were disabled due to injuries and lightly or seriously injured, those were numbers that Young Master Zhang couldn't even bear to look at, so that Young Master Zhang When I just got this battle damage statistics, I was so distressed that I almost had a heart attack, and burst into tears, "Soldiers, I'm sorry for you! I didn't expect that Gou Jiannu would fight so tenaciously. I Not prepared enough, I underestimated the enemy!"

"Soldiers, it's my fault. I didn't try my best to protect you!" Young Master Zhang cried miserably. Yuan Keli, Song Xiance and others couldn't hold back no matter what. In front of the spirit cards of the fallen soldiers, he kowtowed and wailed loudly, and passed out on the ground several times, and insisted on dragging his sick body to guard the spirit of the Ming soldiers who died heroically. He was so nervous that the court physician sent by Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian carried medicine Box guarding Young Master Zhang all night, also moved all the officers and men of Ming Dynasty to tears, deeply honored to have such a good coach as Young Master Zhang.

Young Master Zhang cried bitterly after winning the battle, and Nuerhachi, who suffered a heavy loss several times, simply vomited blood. It failed, and less than 3000 of the 1000 troops who were surrounded on the south bank of the Xiaoling River escaped. Army annihilation!On the southern front battlefield, more than 12 troops led by Azig and Wu Dahai with the Xianghuang Banner and Xianglan Banner were completely wiped out by the furious Tianxiong team. Nuerhachi's No. 3000 son Azige and his nephew Wu Dahai both died in battle!In addition, there are the Ferry Crossing Battlefield and Bijiashan Battlefield. The Jiannu army also paid an extremely heavy price. In just over a day, more than [-] Jiannu elites died on the battlefield, and the Jiannu elite went out of five!As for the lightly and seriously wounded, the loss of war horses, and the loss of luggage, those are the pains that Jiannu, who is extremely weak in economic strength, cannot bear. It can even be said that after this battle, as long as there are no accidents in the next battle, or no What a miracle, Jiannu basically has no chance of turning the tables, and is doomed to lose this Liaodong battle!
"Ama, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Don't be too sad, your body is important." Huang Taiji knelt in front of Nuerhachi's hospital bed, took the medicine bowl from the guard, scooped up the medicine juice with a silver spoon and blew it cool, Then he carefully fed it to Nuerhachi's mouth, and said with tears in his eyes, "Ama, take medicine. If your body collapses, what will you use to defeat Zhang Haogu? What will you use to avenge the dead soldiers?" ? Ama, I beg you..."

As he said that, Huang Taiji couldn't help but burst into tears. Fan Wencheng, who was kneeling and crawling on the far side of the hospital bed, and the Jiannu guards present also burst into tears, dejectedly, but Nuerhachi remained motionless, his eyes glazed over. He refused to speak, let alone take medicine.Seeing that Nuerhachi was so sick and so angry, Huang Taiji was heartbroken and cried: "Ama, you can't do this anymore. If you continue like this, what will happen to the ministers? Our Dajin Eight Banners What should we do? What about our Dajin Kingdom...?"

Even though Huang Taiji was crying so hard that his heart was broken, Nuerhachi still remained motionless, refusing to speak or move.At this time, Fan Wencheng, who was kneeling in the distance, suddenly jumped up and yelled frantically: "Master, don't pay attention to this old thing! Let him die!"

"Slave dog, what did you say?" Huang Taiji and the Jiannu guards present were all furious, but Fan Wencheng showed no fear, and just blushed and shouted: "Slave said, let this useless old thing Forget it if he dies! After losing the battle, this old man gives up on himself again. He doesn't eat or drink, and you don't need to feed him medicine! Since he wants to die, then we will fulfill him! Anyway, he is finished, and the remaining 10,000 + General Dajin, let Zhang Haogu kill all the little savages! The hatred of Jinzhou, the hatred of Shengjing, the hatred of Shanhaiguan, the hatred of Liuzhouhe and Xiaolinghe, these blood feuds can't be repaid anyway. You don’t need to report! Master, you send a message to other masters, let them pack their luggage, go there, surrender, surrender, if you want to vote for Raksha, you can vote for Raksha, if you want to vote for Fusang, you can go to Fusang, everyone The Kingdom of Jin is over! It’s completely over!"

"Dog slave! You want to die!" Several Jiannu guards couldn't bear it any longer. They rushed up and kicked Fan Wencheng hard on the stomach, kicking Fan Wencheng until he was foaming at the mouth. Hit and kick.Even though Fan Wencheng was beaten and rolled all over the floor, with blood gushing from his mouth and nostrils, he kept roaring, "It's over! The Kingdom of Jin is over! The Kingdom of Jin is over! It's over!"

"Stop." A weak voice sounded, and Huang Taiji and the Jiannu guards looked back in surprise, only to see Nuerhachi, who hadn't had any water or rice for a day and a night, suddenly sat up, took the medicine bowl from Huang Taiji's hand, Slowly suck up.Huang Taiji and all the Jiannu guards were surprised and delighted, rushed to Nuerhachi together, hurriedly fed medicine to Nuerhachi, with a gratified smile on his face, but tears flowed out of his eyes.After drinking the medicine, Nuerhachi said lightly again: "I'm a little hungry, go get me a bowl of millet porridge, and call the doctor in by the way, and ask them to give me a prescription for my pulse."

"Zha, I obey!" Jiannu's bodyguard happily agreed, rushed out of the dormitory to pass the order, and when he passed by Fan Wencheng, he couldn't help kicking Fan Wencheng in the face.Nuerhachi said again: "Don't hit him, Fan Wencheng, get up, you are a good slave."

"Slave, thank you Dahan for your praise." Fan Wencheng struggled to get up, and knelt down in front of Nuerhachi again, but he was so moved that he couldn't help crying bitterly.Nuerhachi pulled the quilt again to cover himself up tighter, and then asked, "How are the casualties on the barbarian's side? What's going on now?"

"Back to Ama, Manzi's casualties are not small!" Huang Taiji quickly replied: "A conservative estimate is that the number of elite soldiers killed in battle on Manzi's side was as high as [-], and the casualties were at least [-]. We were exhausted, and our scouts discovered that the barbarians had vacated a separate barracks in the back camp to accommodate the wounded soldiers, which shows that their situation is not much better than ours."

"Of course, our Dajin army has lost the battle, but in terms of morale and fighting spirit, it still hasn't lost to the barbarians!" Nuerhachi snorted confidently, and then ordered: "Arrange manpower and save the barbarians' casualties." Double the exaggeration and spread it to the army to boost morale." Huang Taiji respectfully agreed, and Nuerhachi asked again: "By the way, how did you lose the battle at Bijia Mountain? Zhang Haogu, the little savage, did you know?" So god, did you expect us to sneak attack Bijia Mountain from the sea?"

"My son is also wondering about this." Huang Taiji's face was solemn, and he first explained in detail the history of his sneak attack on Bijia Mountain and the reasons for his doubts, and finally added: "After my son felt that something was wrong, he knew that the sneak attack Bijiashan Barbarian Granary was hard to come by, but they still bite the bullet and launched two tentative attacks. The first was to hit the east bank of Bijia Mountain, and the second was to hit the south bank. Although both were repelled by the barbarians, Erchen's ship The team never encountered Manzi's mines again. Later, I learned about the situation from Zhao Buqi. Zhao Buqi said something that surprised me. It is suitable for laying mines, unless you know the enemy's sneak attack in advance and temporarily arrange mines to ambush, otherwise, even if dense mines are laid, they will be washed away by the current in less than a day!"

Speaking of this, Huang Taiji's face became more serious, and he said word by word: "So I suspect that this time, Manzi's insiders may have secretly contacted Manzi's Bijiashan garrison during the war, and leaked Ama's surprise soldiers. The barbarian garrison was deployed temporarily, and mine arrays were set up on the route that Erchen must pass to attack Bijia Mountain, so that our army was caught off guard and suffered a big loss!"

Nuerhachi stopped talking, drank the millet porridge brought by the guards and pondered for a long time before slowly asking: "Who do you think is the most likely?"

"I don't dare to speculate randomly." Huang Taiji said tremblingly: "But I think Erbeile Amin is the most likely."

"Why?" Nurhachi asked calmly.Huang Taiji replied timidly: "There are two big doubts. One is that after Amin came back, he once said that he was entangled by the barbarians and could not go to the Xingshan battlefield. However, when Erchen attacked Bijia Mountain, the barbarian defenders on the island had sufficient troops and fierce firepower. The army on the south bank of the Xiaoling River has been wiped out, and he is the only one left to fight alone. The 500 troops of Azig and Wudahai have only less than [-] people left, and none of them broke out of the encirclement of the barbarians. Amin, who was less than five thousand, managed to break through the siege and return to the north bank of the Xiaoling River. The casualties were not too great. Isn't this too strange?

Nuerhachi stopped talking again, and after a long time, Nuerhachi took out a letter from under the pillow, handed it to Huang Taiji and said, "Look, it was sent by Yuetuo this morning, I didn't Announced. "Huang Taiji took the letter respectfully. When he opened it, Huang Taiji was stunned. Yue Tuo reported in the letter that he heard rumors when he was in Uiju, North Korea, that Amin was changing defenses to Liaodonghai Before Zhouzhou, he once had secret contact with the Ming army.For this reason, Yue Tuo specifically contacted Kong Youde and Shang Kexi and other generals of Mao Wenlong's subordinates, and finally revealed the truth from Kong Youde and Shang Kexi - Amin once met the notorious anti-bone master Song Xiance once!
"It's definitely him!" Huang Taiji was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth, but he didn't dare to yell out, so he could only grit his teeth and roar angrily: "This bastard from the Shuerhaqi family ! Sure enough, he betrayed us and Da Jin! I will cut him to pieces, bit by bit!" Fan Wencheng also jumped up suddenly, and said in a miserable voice: "No wonder! No wonder Let me just say, our third wave of attack did not leak any news beforehand, let alone reveal any flaws, Zhang Haogu, the little barbarian, could have predicted it in advance, unless he is really a god!"

"Don't be in a hurry." Nuerhachi calmed down more than anyone else, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Haogu is very cunning, and he is best at discord, and it is not ruled out that Zhang Haogu is the little barbarian. Deliberately estranged, designed to frame Amin, let us kill each other, and he took advantage of it. Even if Amin is really an insider, we can't act rashly. Now our army has suffered a new defeat, and Zhang Haogu's army is close at hand The foreign tiger sees the delay, Amin, a bastard, still holds a considerable force that cannot be ignored. If this matter forces him to turn against him, then our army's internal and external troubles will erupt together, and it will be truly and completely over. So we are now We can’t be in a hurry, we can only investigate slowly, and if we find out that Amin is really a traitor, we can deal with him the same way we dealt with his dead ghost, Ama, first eat his army, and then kill him with one knife.”

"Ama's words are very true. Given the current situation of our army, we can't act rashly." Huang Taiji nodded, and asked again: "Ama, how can I secretly investigate and test Amin?"

"Master, profusely, this slave has a plan. It can kill two birds with one stone." Fan Wencheng hurried up and said flatteringly.After getting permission from Huang Taiji and Nuerhachi, Fan Wencheng smiled again and said: "Khan, I suggest that you secretly summon Amin and tell him that your condition is getting worse. Baylor is the first son, and after a hundred years, the fourth Baylor will succeed to the throne, but you are afraid that the current regent Baylor will not accept it on behalf of the benevolent master. In order to prevent the benevolent master from making trouble, you entrust him with a secret edict to lead him to lead the inlaid blue king after you die. Banner protects Si Baylor from succeeding to the throne, and deters the acting good master from acting rashly. Then, master, you tell him that in view of our army's new defeat and your condition worsening, you are going to withdraw the army overnight tomorrow night, and rush to Zhang Haogu, the little savage. Before the arrival of the reinforcements, return to the Sancha River and defend against danger, let Daishan lead the Zhenghong flag, and let Amin and Sibeile lead the main force to protect the Great Khan and you withdraw."

"In this way, if Amin Baylor is really a traitor, then he will definitely leak the news to Zhang Haogu, the little savage." Fan Wencheng became more and more elated as he spoke, "And our army was newly defeated, and the main force suffered heavy losses. Chahe is also normal. After receiving the news, the little barbarian Zhang Haogu must believe it. Tomorrow night, he will surely send troops to attack our retreating troops. Shame, and I can take advantage of Amin being surrounded by my main force to cut off Amin in one fell swoop, so as to avoid future troubles forever!"

After finally waiting for Fan Wencheng to finish speaking, Huang Taiji's heart was beating like a little rabbit, and Nuerhachi kept calm, but asked calmly: "But in this way, what if Amin is not a traitor? We Isn't the main force of the army tossing around in vain?"

"This...." Fan Wencheng was a little embarrassed.Huang Taiji said cautiously: "Ama, if Cousin A Min is not a traitor, then we can also take the opportunity to leave the battlefield and retreat to Sancha River to defend. With the current situation, unless there is a miracle, it is already difficult for us to face After defeating Zhang Haogu, this terrible little barbarian, it is better to take advantage of his heavy losses now, and the reinforcements have not yet arrived, withdraw troops as soon as possible and retreat, and retreat to the Sancha River to stretch Zhang Haogu's little barbarian's food road, in order to fight again .”

"It's a good idea, but is this just killing two birds with one stone?" Nuerhachi laughed, and said with a smile: "It's killing three birds with one stone, right? Fan Wencheng, you dog slave, do you want to test whether I have Planning to choose your master, Huang Taiji, as his successor?"

Fan Wencheng lay on the ground and didn't dare to speak anymore, Huang Taiji also quickly knelt down, also afraid to speak.But fortunately, Nuerhachi didn't get angry, and just said lightly: "Among my sixteen sons, my favorite is the old fourteenth Dorgon and the old fifteenth Duoduo, but unfortunately, both of them He was killed by Zhang Haogu's little savage. Among the remaining sons, my favorite is Daishan and your eighth child. Don't live up to it, in terms of scheming and strategy, he is not worthy to lift your shoes, let alone compare with Zhang Haogu, so I made up my mind when I fell asleep today. bit."

"I dare not..." Huang Taiji said modestly, but he was so excited that he wanted to hold Fan Wencheng in his arms and kiss him—what a slave!Fan Wencheng was also very excited, kowtowed and said, "Long live the Great Khan! Long live! Long live!"

"Old Ba, you don't need to shirk anymore, let's just settle it." Nuerhachi said calmly: "I am so ill now, and I don't know how long I can live. After I die, you will succeed me. Take our Dajin to continue to kill barbarians, defeat Zhang Haogu's little barbarian, and carry forward the Dajin foundation I created with my own hands."

"Ama...." Huang Taiji, who was ups and downs, wept with joy, kowtowed and said: "I thank Ama for your kindness, and I will definitely live up to Ama's expectations, and carry forward the big gold foundation that Ama created with her own hands."

"I believe you can do it." Nuerhachi nodded solemnly, and said again: "Get up, the two of you carefully discuss a detailed plan and follow Fan Wencheng's idea. It is very likely that the bastard Amin is a traitor Big, use him to trick the little barbarian into the ambush circle. It is not bad to win a battle to boost the current morale. But we would rather let the army toss in vain, and we must not withdraw our troops. Now we have just fought a big defeat, and the morale is already low At the limit, the Sancha River is still not frozen, and if we withdraw our troops now, the losses will only be worse."

Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng nodded in agreement with tears in their eyes. After carefully discussing a detailed plan to lure the enemy into an ambush, Nuerhachi immediately summoned Amin to act according to the plan, announcing to Amin that he had confirmed Huang Taiji's successor, and asked Amin is absolutely loyal to Huang Taiji, and when necessary, helps Huang Taiji deal with the regent Baylor Daishan, and tells Amin that he plans to withdraw overnight tomorrow night.Amin, who came to meet Nurhachi with trepidation, was overjoyed when he heard the words. He was glad that he had not been spotted by his uncle. To Young Master Zhang——There is no way, Jiannu is almost doomed to fail now, and Nuerhachi has established a successor after his time is running out. This is important information, do you still want to be the Jurchen Queen in the future?

………………

In order to express sincerity and connect feelings, the envoy sent by Amin this time is simply the youngest brother Nao Dai, but when Nao Dai saw Master Zhang who was seriously ill in the Ming army tent and reported the truth, Master Zhang did not reveal With a slight look of joy, he asked the soldiers to host a banquet in the back tent to entertain Nao Dai first, and then asked Zhang Shitou to put himself in front of the sand table of the map, and meditate on the sand table of the map.After a long time, Young Master Zhang raised his head and asked Yuan Keli, Song Xiance, Shi Kefa and others, "Master Yuan, Master Song, Brother Xian, what do you think?"

"My lord Zhang, if I'm wrong, don't laugh at me." Liaodong governor Yuan Keli said: "Your official thinks that after the Xiaolinghe battle yesterday, Jiannu lost far more than us, and there is basically no hope of defeating us. And to rescue the rebels in Ningyuan, it is normal to withdraw troops and return to Sanchahe to defend. Moreover, when I was a servant of the military department, I knew that every time the grain road was stretched for a hundred miles, and a catty of grain was transported forward, a catty of grain would be added on the road The above consumption is even higher in winter. Therefore, the officials believe that Jiannu should choose to withdraw now in order to lengthen our food roads and shorten their own food roads to gain the benefits of fighting inside."

"Master Yuan is quite right. Given the current situation of Jiannu, the possibility of them retreating to the Sancha River cannot be ruled out." Song Xiance nodded, and said in agreement: "Now the old Jiannu has just suffered such a big defeat, and his morale is very low. , coupled with the worsening of the old Jiannu's condition, the foundation of the designated successor Huang Taiji is unstable, and the hidden danger of Daishan exists. If the old Jiannu suddenly dies of illness, his army is likely to be torn apart at once. It is easy to wipe out the main force of Jiannu. In order to prevent these situations from happening, it is understandable that the old Jiannu intends to take the risk of withdrawing his troops and return to Sancha River to defend them. Moreover, there is another advantage of withdrawing troops now, Xiaolinghe will fight us The losses are still low, and the Xiongdu division reserve team is not yet in place, the troops are insufficient, and the damage caused to Jiannu in the pursuit battle is much smaller."

"Brother Zhongzheng, what a great opportunity!" Shi Kefa couldn't wait to say: "It's better to be brave enough to chase down the poor, than to be famous and learn to be a king! Taking advantage of our grasp of the time for Jiannu's withdrawal, we will send troops to attack tomorrow night, killing Jiannu by surprise, and killing them. If the morale and fighting spirit of the soldiers are all wiped out, and then they chase and fight on the road, even if Jiannu retreats across the Sancha River, there will not be many troops left!"

"Wrong, you are all wrong." Young Master Zhang shook his head slowly, and said seriously: "I bet, if we send troops to attack us, we will definitely fall into Jiannu's trap, not only will we suffer a small loss, but also Amin is dead too!"

"Why?" Song Xiance, Shi Kefa and Yuan Keli asked in unison.Young Master Zhang said darkly: "If you are Nuerhachi's old Jian slaves, and your surprise attack on Bijia Mountain failed so strangely, can you not have doubts? As for the object of suspicion, apart from Amin, who was the only one who successfully broke through from the south bank of Xiaoling River, Who else? There is still time, and the news we let Mao Wenlong deliberately leak should reach the ears of Nuerhachi, the old Jiannu! Even if Nuerhachi, the old Jiannu won't believe it immediately, he suspects that It is my plan to separate, and at least I will conduct secret investigations and secret probing, right? And Nuerhachi deliberately leaked his withdrawal time to Amin Tuogu and Amin. One is to test Amin and get rid of this hidden danger, and the other is to set up traps to lure us to send troops to attack his retreating army, and take the opportunity to attack us in an ambush, boost the morale of his army, and restore his lost face on the battlefield of Xiaolinghe !"

"This..., but... is it possible?" Yuan Keli stammered and asked, "If Nuerhachi, the old Jiannu, really doubted Amin, it would be fine to just deprive him of his military power or kill him, why bother?" It took so much trouble?"

"Master Yuan, if you have an elite force of 5000 or [-] people in the army, I will only obey your orders." Young Master Zhang asked back: "Then without any evidence, I will suddenly deprive you of your military power, or directly kill you." You, what would you think? What would you do? What would the generals and soldiers loyal to you think and do?"

Yuan Keli had nothing to say, but Song Xiance asked unconvinced: "Boss, you are just speculating, and there is no evidence to prove that this is a trap?"

"I don't have any evidence to directly prove this conjecture, but this time, no matter if it's a trap or not, I will never jump into it." Young Master Zhang said with a sinister smile: "On the contrary, I will use this trap and set it on Nu Erha On the head of Chi Lao Jian Nu."

"How?" Song Xiance and the other three asked together, full of absolute confidence in Young Master Zhang's swindling and abduction.Young Master Zhang smiled and said: "It's very simple, I want Amin to tell the news of Nurhachi's decision to pass on the throne to Huang Taiji to Baylor Daishan, the regent who built slaves, and let Amin express his loyalty to Daishan by the way. Said that he thinks that Daishan is more suitable to be the successor than Huang Taiji. Let me tell Nuerhachi by the way, Amin is not our inner room, our inner room has someone else!"
