According to Zhu Yili's instructions, Shurhaqi led five thousand troops and set off with Weng Guodai.

First, we met with Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang.

Then he pulled Weng Guodai to walk around various areas of the Korqin tribe like a parade. The purpose was to spread the news that Weng Guodai had returned and at the same time promote the ethnic policies advocated and implemented by the emperor.

Let’s see what the Korqin tribe reacts.

After the Korqin army withdrew from Tongliao City, they didn't know where they hid. Anyway, Qi Jiguang did not catch up, so the Ming army was stationed in Tongliao City.

Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang were preparing to take Zhu Yiliu over and discuss how to take action next.

Should we attack one city after another, then occupy and garrison the troops until the Korqin tribe surrenders, or is there any other way?

Of course, I need to ask Zhu Yili for instructions.

After receiving Qi Jiguang's message, Zhu Yiliu did not hesitate and immediately led his troops to Tongliao City.

By conquering the Korqin tribe, Zhu Yiliu was indeed ready to fight a protracted battle.

It can be said that the temporary garrison of Tongliao City is a good choice, which is in line with Zhu Yiliu's wishes and his strategic deployment.

Although Tongliao City was still very destructive at this time, it was always better than the garrison in the field.

After entering, Zhu Yiliu immediately sat down with Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang to discuss.

First of all, Zhu Yiliu told them to be prepared for a protracted war. Now that things have come to this point, this battle can only be won but not defeated.

Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang understood it.

Secondly, Zhu Yili also told them that they had prepared to join forces with several tribes adjacent to the Korqin tribe to encircle the Korqin tribe at the same time, so that they had nowhere to go and no way to retreat.

Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang praised him endlessly.

They are just worried about one question: Will the tribes adjacent to the Korqin tribe agree?

"Actually, I'm not sure." Zhu Yiliu said cautiously, "so I sent Menggu Boluo and Liyun as messengers to explore their voices first."

Anyway, when stationed in Tongliao City, he has been prepared for a long battle. There is no hurry to go, and there is no fear that the Korqin tribe will deliberately waste the Ming army.

"But Your Majesty, in this way, the logistics pressure on Liaodong will be very high." Li Chengliang said worriedly. After all, he knew the best of how much is Liaodong.

"I know, I have sent someone to inform Eunuch Tian and ask him to ask the court for help."

Zhu Yili already knew that Xu Wenying had asked the court for help once. But when Xu Wenying asked for help, she was in her own name, and this time in the name of Zhu Yili. There was no way, the economic strength of Liaodong was there.

"I remember that Wu Dui, the Minister of War, once proposed the theory of using war to support war. I wonder if it is feasible here?" Qi Jiguang suddenly thought of using war to support war.

Zhu Yili shook his head and said, "This place is too poor, I'm afraid it won't work. Nuergandusi has sea areas and can do business with Japan and other countries, but it's not. They are all relying on the Ming Dynasty."

Then, Zhu Yiliu said: "It doesn't matter, just ask for support from the court. It's nothing wrong. Just treat it as military expenditure. If you successfully solve the border problems, you won't have to worry and work harder or spend money in the future."

Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang both nodded in agreement.

From the perspective of history, the problem of border problems needs to be solved sooner or later, and it is impossible to keep dragging on like this.

The sooner the resolution is, the more beneficial it will be to the Ming Dynasty, and you can focus on development in the future.

In this way, the overall strategy for dealing with the Korqin tribe has been determined.

First, I am preparing to fight a protracted battle. Anyway, if I don’t subdue the Korqin army, I won’t be able to do anything.

Second, join forces with other departments adjacent to the Korqin tribe to encircle and isolate the Korqin tribe, so that the Korqin tribe will be inseparable from the end.

As for Weng Guodai's line, Zhu Yiliu no longer had hope and was not included in his plan.

After all, it is not clear whether Weng Guodai really regrets his willingness to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, nor is it clear how appeal Weng Guodai still has in the Korqin tribe.

He was slandered and slandered, and he is indeed with the Ming army at the moment. How many people in the Korqin tribe still recognize Weng Guodai, the great knight, Zhu Yiliu cannot guarantee.

Therefore, Weng Guodai's line destroyed the psychological defense line of the Korqin tribe, making them feel that Yuan Dahan had indeed surrendered to the Ming army.

Of course, if there are unexpected gains, and Weng Guodai still has a strong appeal, that is another matter, and Zhu Yiliu will make plans again.

The same explanation was also given to Shulhazi.

Anyway, after confirming these two major strategies, I am not afraid of spending more time with the Korqin tribe.

Of course, this is only relative, and it cannot be consumed until the birth of Xu Wenying's child at the latest.

That is to say, before Xu Wenying's children arrive, the Korqin tribe must be taken down.

This is the deadline.

But at this moment, Zhu Yiliu didn't know that the capital had taken action.

First, if you provide financial assistance here, you don’t need to issue an order, Zheng Miaojin has already arranged it.

Second, not only did they join forces with several adjacent tribes of the Korqin tribe, but they informed all Mongolian tribes.

Although except for the Mongolian Tumote tribe, there was no clear need for other divisions to send troops to support it, in fact, some induction has been carried out between the lines.

Not to mention whether to send troops to fight the Korqin tribe or not, at least you must show your attitude and also have a certain deterrent effect on the Korqin tribe.

It’s like fighting with someone. Even if you don’t take action, there are many people and powerful people, and you’ll be in a vast world. The other party will naturally feel fear and the outcome will be easily decided.

...

Liaoyang General Office.

Xu Wenying is always paying attention to the battle situation ahead.

Tian Yi is responsible for conveying information every day, and today I have received a reply from the previous request.

The court agreed to allocate 200,000 taels of silver to resettle refugees from Korqin tribe who came to Liaodong.

In fact, this was as expected by Xu Wenying.

After all, she, the concubine, had spoken. Now that she was by the emperor, no one would have refused her request without any ignorance, and it was not for herself.

"Empress Shufei, Master Wansui has led his troops to Tongliao City. It will probably take a while for the Korqin tribe that neither surrenders nor fights. Master Wansui is ready to fight a protracted war."

Tian Yi reported to Xu Wenying again.

Xu Wenying felt uncomfortable after not seeing Zhu Yili for three days. After hearing this, she hurriedly asked, "How long are you going to prepare for a protracted war?"

"When I return to Concubine Shu, I can't say that this long lively emperor, but at the latest, the battle will end before the child in Concubine Shu's womb arrives."

"Isn't it really necessary to do that?"

"It's hard to say that the Korqin tribe is vast. If they don't surrender, they won't fight, and just blindly avoid the Ming army, it's really difficult. So, Master Wansui is ready for a protracted war. Anyway, Master Wansui said that if they don't conquer the Korqin tribe, they will never be in power."

"Since I don't fight, can I go to Tongliao City to visit the emperor?" Xu Wenying said in a whim.

"That's not enough!" Tian Yi was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly, "Shu Concubine, don't make it difficult for me to do it."

"Look, I'll just say it." Xu Wenying raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly.

"That's good, that's good."
