Chapter 686
The Ming Dynasty took down Haizhou Acropolis in one go without a fight.

Although the Haizhou Acropolis was set on fire by the Tartars before they left, it did not affect the Ming Dynasty's joy in receiving the Haizhou Acropolis.

Haizhouwei, once the acropolis of the Ming Dynasty, is now in the hands of the Ming Dynasty again.

……

Sun Chengzong has been waiting for the news ahead. According to the prediction, he should not encounter any great obstacles in attacking Haizhou Weicheng this time. It should be relatively easy. As long as the army reaches Haizhou Weicheng, he will win.

According to the speed of the car camp, it is absolutely possible to travel to Haizhouwei within a day.In the morning, Sun Chengzong watched the army set off with a feeling of apprehension, and has been waiting for news since then.

Although careful preparations and arrangements had been made in advance, Sun Chengzong could not calm down in the battle that determined the life and death of the Ming Dynasty.

In the middle of the night, the news finally reached Sun Chengzong.

"Good! Good! Good!..." After reading the letter, Sun Chengzong said three good things in a row, and finally he was relieved, and his tense spirit relaxed.

"Ge Lao, but I, Ming, won?" In the war room, there were always staff officers on duty, and seeing Sun Chengzong saying three good things, he couldn't help asking.

"We won! The Weicheng of Haizhou was taken lightly, as expected, there was no large-scale battle..." Sun Chengzong said, and Sun Chengzong gave an affirmative answer to the inquiries of his staff officers.

The entire war room was boiling, and everyone suppressed their inner joy and celebrated each other.This is indeed a rare piece of good news. It is a good start. Donglu even lacks the courage to stop the army. To some extent, it does confirm all kinds of intelligence from the Military Intelligence Bureau.

The news spread like wildfire, and soon spread throughout the entire Sancha River.

The Sancha River, which was already silent, was immediately covered by many stars, passing and sharing the joy with each other.

Sun Chengzong's face was red.However, at night, it is not so obvious.

"Having captured the Acropolis of Haizhou, that is to say, we can rely on the Acropolis of Haizhou as a stronghold to push the area covered by the battlefield another fifty miles to the east. In this way, there will be a range of 150 miles..." Sun Chengzong On the map, I repeatedly measured the distance with a ruler, and finally came to this conclusion.

Winning Haizhou Guard is not a great achievement, but it is a very important part of the entire battle.Relying on the Acropolis of Haizhou, you can easily extend your tentacles deeper into the inland, to the old lair of the Donglu.Now that the Ming Dynasty has a strong army and strong horses, the most feared thing is consumption. The Ming Dynasty can afford consumption, but the Eastern Captives cannot afford consumption. When it comes to scouting wars, the Ming Dynasty is not afraid.

"Elder Ge, we won the Haizhou Acropolis, I'm afraid we won this battle by three points first..." A staff officer said on the side.

"That's right, it's said to be the first to win, and I, Daming, have indeed achieved the first. The morale and spirit of the Donglu are not as good as before." Sun Chengzong also said with emotion.Based on the analysis of the battle report sent back, the Tartars only sent more than [-] people as a show, and the large group of troops did not even come, which is enough to explain a lot of things.

"Old Ge, the scout battle is so intense now, the Tartars don't know how it will affect them once we occupy Haizhou Acropolis, and if they know it and don't come, the Tartars are really withered, and they are no longer as brave as before. In the past, he made harsh words and was invincible, but now it seems that they are empty words, big words..." The staff officers were discussing heatedly.To outsiders, this seems a bit irrelevant, but in reality, this is indeed a very common thing in the staff department.

"Old Ge, it doesn't matter if all the Tartars come. Our army is not afraid of him at all. If we want to confront our Chao army, there must be at least 6 or [-] people. Are there still so many Tartars now?... Even if there are, Dare to come all? Lin Danhan has suffered a long time, and knowing that all the Donglu have come to entangle me, how can he let it go?"

In the war room, the staff members started to discuss with you and me.

Sun Chengzong was happy to let these staff members discuss among themselves. The wisdom of an individual is limited, but the wisdom of a group is infinite. It is more useful to assign more cobblers to ordinary people than to expect everyone to be Zhuge Liang.The more you fight, the more you can find problems, and the more you can find problems, the more you can avoid them.

"How, can the debate come to a conclusion?" Sun Chengzong asked with a smile after the staff had debated for a while. In fact, Sun Chengzong knew it well in his heart. The question was just to test the staff.

"Mr. Huige, the students have already had their results." One of them said.

"Oh, tell me." Sun Chengzong was in a good mood.

"Mr. Huige, the students think that we should focus on stabilizing the current situation for the time being. There is no need to urge the army to continue attacking. With the Haizhou Acropolis around, the Eastern Prisoners have to fight. Consuming the strength of the Eastern Captives, it is safest to advance forward after understanding the local terrain, rivers, etc. In addition, it will take a certain amount of time to deliver food supplies to Haizhou Acropolis. Therefore, the students believe that they should The most important thing is to consolidate the results of the battle, and don't rush to get full credit..." The leading staff officer said loudly.

Sun Chengzong listened with a smile on his face.This inference is basically the same as what he considered.According to the emperor's strategy, it should be to force the Eastern Captives to advance westward, and Ming to follow behind into the grasslands. It would not be beautiful to fight the Eastern Captives in a decisive battle in Liaodong. Of course, this strategy is quite difficult to implement and must be well mastered. At a certain speed, the Donglu cannot be forced into a decisive battle, nor can the Donglu be beaten too hard, nor can the Donglu see the hope of victory. The strength of the Donglu must be continuously weakened. A gradually weakened Donglu is safe. Donglu, based on this premise, Sun Chengzong will not force Donglu to fight decisively, but he will never let Donglu live in peace, and will not let Donglu live a good life. Cruel scouting battles will continue to wear down Donglu's strength. This is for sure, the Donglu must be constantly squeezed, so that Donglu can't see any hope in the east and south and has to focus on the west.

"That's right, that's right. This pavilion thinks the same way. Come here! Send an order to Commander Qin... No, this pavilion should write the letter myself..." Sun Chengzong was in a great mood and was about to write the letter himself.Of course, in addition to writing to Qin Liangyu, he also had to send a letter to the capital to explain the situation here.

……

The news of the loss of Haizhou Acropolis was also sent to Huang Taiji overnight.

It's been too deep, and it's so quiet.

Fan Wencheng was called up in the middle of the night and came over to discuss matters.

Maybe it was because of poor sleep, maybe it was the dim lights, or maybe it was the bad news, in short, Huang Taiji's complexion was very bad.

Fan Wencheng just glanced at Huang Taiji, then lowered his eyes.

"Xiandou, Haizhou Guard is lost, and the second brother can't even stop him at least, but he retreated with a feint shot..." Huang Taiji's face was quite ugly.Although this was expected, it still felt unacceptable when it happened.In the war against the Ming Dynasty last year, Da Jin suffered a lot of casualties, not only his vitality, but also his heart. Now that he is fighting against the Ming Dynasty, he always has pimples in his heart. It is not surprising that he has such a result.

Fan Wencheng lowered his head even lower. This was only expected beforehand. With the current situation of the Dajin, it is obviously impossible for Huang Taiji's entire army to fight against the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Er Baylor's retreat without a fight was predictable.

"Khan, Haizhou Guard is too close to the sea. It is really unwise to defend Haizhou Guard completely under the Ming Dynasty's soldiers..." Fan Wencheng could only comfort him in this way.

"Yes!..." Huang Taiji said helplessly. Now, facing the Ming Dynasty, the pressure is really too great. Last year, he lost too badly. Now against the Ming Dynasty, he no longer has the confidence to win.In the past, 1 people could walk sideways in front of tens of thousands of Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers, and they didn't care about the Ming Dynasty's reaction at all.But now it’s gone. Huang Taiji knew that if the Ming Dynasty knew that there were only 1 horses, they would definitely swarm up and kill them all. There is no such thing as relying on 1 people to suppress the Ming Dynasty’s tens of thousands of horses.It seems that for the Ming Dynasty, a head is a victory, and its own loss can be ignored.Faced with this helpless style of play, Huang Taiji has nothing to do. The most he can afford to lose in Dajin is his people, and the giant of the Ming Dynasty, even if he defeated 10,000+ troops at one time, he can gather 10,000+ troops once again Fight again.Huang Taiji felt that this was unfair, as long as Da Jin lost once, he would lose completely, while Ming Dynasty, if he lost once, he would have another chance, and if he lost again, he could come again.

There was silence in the sweat tent, Huang Taiji didn't speak, and Fan Wencheng didn't want to say more. The bad news came one after another. If you talk too much, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing.

"By the way, Xiandou, among those bounty hunters in the south, is there anyone who can pass on the news? If my Dajin doesn't win a big game as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will become more and more unfavorable to my Dajin..." Huang Taiji continued asked.

Fan Wencheng's complexion became darker, his head lowered even more, and he only dared to think for a while before replying: "Hui Dahan, most of the people I used to contact with are disconnected now..." Fan Wencheng said quickly.I couldn't stop complaining in my heart, and it was another bad thing. In order to deal with the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji did not think of a way. He bought several groups of bounty hunters. In order not to startle the enemy, Huang Taiji pretended not to have such news even though some important news came back from those bounty hunters, in order to play a key role in the decisive battle in the future. Knowing that the war has just started, those who were bribed disappeared immediately, and the line was broken. Maybe the Ming Dynasty discovered it; Bet here, afraid of being discovered by the Ming Dynasty.

"Damn it, a group of liars..." Huang Taiji couldn't help cursing viciously. This was a hidden move he had planted, but now, it has been abolished and has not played its due role.

Fan Wencheng could only remain silent, not daring to speak, for fear of bad luck.

There was silence for a while, and in this silent night, the darkness seemed to freeze.

"Xiandou, tell me, what should Ben Khan do now? The Ming Dynasty is powerful, and they are all elites. Their strength is no less than that of my Dajin, and they have used Che Ying. They are not afraid of my Dajin's small-scale harassment of grain and grass queens." It is very difficult to delay the Ming Dynasty!" Huang Taiji said helplessly, full of pain.

"Back to the Great Khan, the best thing to do now is to go west. If I can snatch more tribes from Lin Dan Khan, then my Dajin can recover. If I can join Tumet and Waldus' tribes, then My Dajin is more powerful, and I can use the grasslands to confront the Ming Dynasty..." Fan Wencheng is unwilling to say more about how to stop the Ming Dynasty. This is a very difficult task. It is better to talk about westward advance , playing Lin Dan Khan is much more certain than playing Ming Dynasty.

"Advance to the west..., the foundation of our ancestors should not be easily abandoned! Xiandou talk about how to repel the Ming army." Huang Taiji was prepared for the westward advance.However, I still don't want to easily abandon what I already have. Dajin now has Shengjing and several good cities. In this respect, it is actually more "wider" than Lin Danhan. He became a "savage". Although Fan Wencheng said very attractively, he could imitate the "ancestor" and sweep the whole world after occupying the grassland, but Huang Taiji also knew that even the "capital" of Lin Danhan, It's just the size of the "county town" of the Ming Dynasty. If it really enters the grassland, it's really a different scene.Today's Shengjing is the first city outside the pass.

"..." Fan Wencheng was sweating for a while, he didn't talk about going west, he didn't talk about nice things, he said that he was depressed...

"Khan, Wen Cheng thinks that it is unwise to fight the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty came prepared, and our Dajin's morale and military strength are not as good as the Ming Dynasty. In a fight, the chances of winning are really slim..." Fan Wencheng insisted Scalp said.

"Xiandou is right. It is indeed unwise to fight the Ming Dynasty head-on. But if the Ming Dynasty's advance is not stopped, once the Ming Dynasty soldiers come to the city, it will be a result of breaking the city!" Huang Taiji said bitterly.

"Khan is right..." Fan Wencheng lowered his head even lower, echoing.

"...Now it seems that Ben Khan has to go to meet Qin Liangyu again..." Huang Taiji said thoughtfully seeing that he couldn't ask why.

Fan Wencheng relaxed for a while, Huang Taiji finally didn't force him to say anything excessive.He also doesn't have to take risks for his ideas.Fan Wencheng heard that Huang Taiji was going to fight the Ming army in person, but in fact, he was not very optimistic about this.Now Dajin's vitality is seriously injured. Although Lin Danhan has recovered some vitality, in general, he is still very injured.As far as military strength is concerned, it is not superior to the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that morale and combat power are not guaranteed. Even if Huang Taiji goes in person, there is nothing he can do.Against the Ming Dynasty, it can at most have a delaying effect. It is not easy to turn the world around in one fell swoop by finding the flaws of the Ming Dynasty. Fan Wencheng still feels that the best thing to do now is to focus on westward advancement and move forward as soon as possible. Going west, Lin Danhan's side is getting stronger and stronger, while Ming Dynasty's side is consuming strength every day.

"By the way, Xiandou, I heard that Lin Dan Khan sent the letter written by Ben Khan to the Ming Dynasty in exchange for a reward..." Huang Taiji said suddenly.

"Back to sweat, yes." Fan Wencheng said.

"What do you think of this constitutional struggle?" Huang Taiji asked again.

"Big Khan, it means that Lin Dan Khan's situation is very bad, and he has to ask the Ming Dynasty for help. Big Khan, Wen Cheng still said that, go west as soon as possible. During the cautious period of the Ming Dynasty in the south, there will not be too much trouble for a while. Move..." Fan Wencheng persuaded again.

"This Khan knows,...Xiandou thinks there is still hope for the alliance with Lin Dan Khan?" Huang Taiji said, Huang Taiji is also a person who makes his own decisions, although he also refers to Fan Wencheng's words, he will definitely not Just listen to Fan Wencheng casually.

"Back to the Great Khan, Lin Danhan did this, Wen Cheng thought that the alliance could be..." Seeing that Huang Taiji no longer forced him to talk about the war with the Ming Dynasty, Fan Wencheng felt more relaxed.

"Oh, why did Xiandou say that? Can you elaborate?" Huang Taiji asked.

"Big Khan, the more this is the case, the more it shows that Lin Danhan is in a difficult situation. As long as Big Khan keeps sending letters to Lin Danhan, Lin Danhan will definitely exchange them for things from the Ming Dynasty. What the Ming Dynasty gave Lin Danhan is just a change of hands." , Is it in the hands of Da Khan again?...Furthermore, Lin Dan Khan was forced to have no choice but to appear hostile on the surface, but in reality they lived peacefully." Fan Wencheng said.

"Oh, this is something new. You might as well elaborate on Xiandou." Huang Taiji became interested. Although he gained a lot from fighting Lin Dan Khan and regained his vitality, he still had losses. He lost some elites, even if he could replenish There are more Mongols, but actually, in terms of the overall combat power, it is still reduced. The newly recruited Mongols are not as desperate as the old Eight Banners.

"Big Khan, at that time, Lin Dan Khan must be helpless. Even if he wants to fight, he doesn't have the ability. Even if he screams fiercely, what can he do? Can he still move? Therefore, Wen Cheng I thought that Da Khan might as well continue to attack Lin Dan Khan while continuing to send letters to Lin Dan Khan. I thought that even if Lin Dan Khan did not agree to form an alliance, at least he would not take the initiative to attack me. As long as this is done, my Da Jin can bypass Lin Danhan's territory merges with Tumet and Waldus' tribes, once they merge, our Dajin's strength will skyrocket..." Fan Wencheng said.

"Oh..." Huang Taiji thought for a while, and then said: "...Lin Danhan will really let me go there? He doesn't worry about me, Dajin, Tumet, and Woerdus. , and trouble him again?" Huang Taiji asked rhetorically.

"Big Khan, Lin Dan Khan actually has strength in his hands. Don't force him too much. Think about it, Big Khan. Isn't there still the tribes in Mobei supporting Lin Danhan? Retreating to the north, it would be very difficult for the profuse Khan to uproot Lin Danhan and swallow him whole, so Wen Cheng believed that it was possible to be peaceful on the surface, but secretly peaceful..." Fan Wencheng analyzed .

"Well, what Xiandou said makes sense... Maybe it will be so..." Huang Taiji thought for a while.

Fan Wencheng felt much more at ease. It was better to talk about the westward advance than the southward defense against the Ming Dynasty. In this regard, he could say more and make bold predictions.
