After Fan Wencai threw a small bag of copper coins to Zhang Xiaoqi, he went straight to the Khan's Palace. He was going to report important information in the customs to Huang Taiji.

Looking at his big bald head, you can tell that he has been to the pass in the past few months. It turned out that after completing the task of escorting the old Baoyi out of Shenyang, Fan Wencai got his brother Fan Wencheng before he returned to the city. A new mission was sent to me personally. Enter the customs to contact Fan Yongdou and others.

As a result, when they arrived in Beijing, they learned that Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, and Jin Liangyu had done something wrong and were arrested by Dongchang's policemen on charges of collaborating and treason. They were probably in danger.

Fan Wencai was really scared out of his mind. If he had arrived ten days and a half earlier, he would probably have been arrested and taken to Dongchang together with Fan Yongdou!

Although he was quite frightened, Fan Wencai still did not forget the mission assigned to him by his master to find out the latest trends of the Ming army.

As for the movements of the Ming army, it is actually not difficult to find out. There is no need to break into any high-level officials. You only need to take a walk outside Beijing to find out. Before the soldiers and horses are moved, food and grass go first! Starting from last winter, On the official road heading northwest from Tongzhou toward Xuanfu, you can see convoys transporting grain from time to time.

Moreover, the news that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was stationed in the Xuan Mansion was not kept secret. Almost everyone inside and outside Beijing knew about it.

The young emperor was stationed in the Xuan Mansion and transported grain to the Xuan Mansion on a large scale. As long as you are not stupid, you can guess what the Ming army wants to do?

After guessing the general intention of the Ming army, Fan Wencai went deep into the tiger's den again and continued to dress up as a monk to explore Xuanfu Town.

In the Xuan Mansion, Fan Wencai found out the more terrifying news without much effort. The Hutu Dun Khan of the Han Dynasty, who had the false reputation of being the Great Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, led a large number of his tribesmen to nomadic eastward as soon as spring began. By the beginning of February, By the time we arrived, we had already reached the Bashang grassland outside the Xuanfu wall and north of Daqing Mountain.

Zhu Youjian arrived at Xuanfu, and Hutu Dunhan arrived at Bashang. The two of them are now relatives and allies. It seems that they will not start a war, so they must join forces to fight others.

And who is that "other"? You can tell without any spying, it must be the Kingdom of Jin!

After finding out that the Ming Dynasty and Beiyuan were going to join forces to attack the Jin Kingdom, Fan Wencai didn't dare to be negligent at all. He dressed up as a lama monk overnight and went to the Xuanfu border wall on the pretext of going to the Han tribe to beg for alms (the Xuanfu border wall was very dark). It was too long to defend at all, and everything outside the border wall had become the Ming Dynasty's territory, so it was very lax). Then he bought it from the nomadic Mongols outside the border wall (the people of Uliangha Wanhu Orduo) The two horses ran all the way east for more than ten days and finally entered Shenyang City.

"Great Khan, although I haven't found out any secrets, I am absolutely sure that the young emperor of the Southern Dynasty and Lin Dan Batur, who joined the Han tribe, will soon join forces to send troops to the east, and the target should be the Mameng Mountain area."

Great Khan Palace, Chongzheng Hall. Fan Wencai, who had just returned to Shenyang and didn't even bother to wipe his face, was lying on the floor and asked Huang Taiji, Daishan, Azig, Dorgon, Abatai, Yue Tuo, Hao Ge and others reported their findings in the pass.

It has to be said that now everyone in the Great Jin Kingdom, at least in the Eight Banners of the Great Jin Kingdom, whether it is the high-ranking Master Beile or the lowest-level servant, everyone is holding back a fierce desire to earn military merit.

This is probably the power of using it all, right? Even Zhu Youjian's servants in front of the tent are not so ruthless now.

In today's Great Jin Kingdom, if you want to rise or maintain your status, you have to rely on military merit. Apart from military merit, there is no other way to go. This is called making a hole!

It is precisely because of this system that one can only rely on military merit to get ahead, the Eight Banners of Dajin are extremely warlike. Now that they heard that Ming Dynasty and Beiyuan were going to join forces to send troops, all the leaders of the Eight Banners in Chongzheng Hall showed excitement. color.

Huang Taiji also had a happy face. He waved his hand and sent Fan Wencai out of the hall. Then he looked around and said with a smile: "Sanbeile, who is stationed in Mameng Mountain these days, also sent people to report. He has discovered the Southern Army and inserted the Han troops. There are signs of joining forces to attack. Now Fan Wencai has also reported this matter, it seems that there is nothing wrong!"

He smiled coldly: "Although Zhu Youjian has the courage of Lu Bu, he is still too young and energetic, and not calm enough! His internal affairs have not been organized, and the new army has not been trained, so he is in a hurry to send troops to Yanshan And he colluded with the useless Tiger Rabbit Dun Khan. It seems that this Battle of Yanshan will be a good opportunity for our Dajin Heavenly Soldiers to severely inflict heavy losses on the Southern Dynasties and Mongolia and invade the Han Dynasty!"

"Great Khan," Dabeile said on behalf of Shan, "this battle of re-entering Yanshan is a bit like the Battle of Guandu in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Zhu Youjian is Yuan Shao who supports Qing, Ji, and You, and unites the four states. Your situation, Khan, is a bit like that of Prime Minister Cao. Your army is excellent and your advantage lies in a quick decision. Zhu You's inspection of the food supply is extensive, and your advantage lies in long-lasting victory."

After all, Daishan was a military strategist who was familiar with the Three Kingdoms, and he could see the biggest crisis of Houjin at a glance!

Huang Taiji nodded: "What Da Beile said is absolutely true. All of our Eight Banners soldiers are good at fighting and brave. If we attack the strong city of the Southern Dynasty in our mouth, it's not that we can't defeat it, but it's not worth killing so many people." But if we want to move the battlefield to Yanshan, I am not afraid of a decisive battle with the Southern Dynasty and the Han tribe!

Now I'm afraid that the Southern Dynasty and the Han tribe will slowly consume us because of their sufficient food supply. Is there any good strategy for you?"

When the Baylor Masters heard this, they couldn't help but frown. "Poor Yuan Shao" needed Xu You to lead the way to rob Wuchao Granary! But who on the little emperor's side was Xu You who led the way?

"Great Khan," after a while, it was "Smart Belle" Dorgon who was the first to speak. "How many troops do you plan to send this time? How long can the food on hand last us?"

"The combined forces of Zhu Youjian and Lindan Batur must be quite powerful." Huang Taiji frowned and said, "If we send too few troops, we won't be able to defeat them. If we send too many troops, we will be afraid that too much food will be consumed. .And Mameng Mountain is a bit far away from Shenyang, seven or eight hundred miles away. We don’t have many civilians who can transport food, so we can only rely on carrying it with the army and collecting supplies along the way. We really can’t fight for a long time!”

Huang Taiji's current situation is not at all like Cao Cao's in the Battle of Guandu, because Guandu is not far from Xuchang. Moreover, in the Battle of Guandu, the Yuan and Cao armies only faced off in the Guandu area for three months! Cao Cao's army could It took such a long time to show that we were not particularly short of food.

Because the farming in Mameng Mountain has not been successful, Huang Taiji now has no capital to lead an army to confront Zhu Youjian in Mameng Mountain for three months. If it really takes that long, the Kingdom of Jin will almost be destroyed!

Therefore, when the Jin Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty competed for Yanshan, they were almost the same as Zhuge Liang who came out of Qishan six times. Everything else was fine. Lack of food was the biggest problem!

Dorgon said: "Great Khan, there is a saying in the art of war. If you encircle it ten times, attack it five times, and divide it if you double it, the enemy will be able to defeat it. Although the force of our Eight Banners is strong, due to the lack of food, it is difficult to concentrate it on Yanshan.

.So the actual combat strength is at most twice that of the enemy. If you want to win quickly, the only way is to divide it with double the enemy."

After all, he is a smart Baylor. It would be good for others to watch "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". He can also talk about "Sun Tzu's Art of War". No wonder Huang Taiji will serve as regent for him after he dies!

Huang Taiji asked: "If the talent is doubled, then it will be divided?"

"This" Dorgon thought for a moment and already had an idea, "Great Khan, although the little emperor of the Southern Dynasties is young, he is cunning and not easily deceived. But the tiger and rabbit Dun Khan who joined the Han Dynasty is relatively stupid and easier to cheat.

Deception and what Hutu Dun Khan cares about cannot be that the mountains, forests and valleys of Yanshan, the Liao River in the north, and the grasslands on both sides of the Huang River are the territory of the Mongols and the basis for inserting Han tribes. We should have a way to deceive Hu Tu Dun Khan

After being led to the grassland, it will be easy to destroy Lin Dan Batur.

Once Lin Dan Batur is destroyed, Zhu Youjian will be unable to fight alone, and it will not be difficult to repel him."
