Of course, Turtle Bai is not the only one who escaped.

Kong Youde, who had taken refuge in Nurhaqi, had already returned to the camp under the protection of his guards and was sitting on his seat drinking tea!

Bietai looked at Kong Youde, who was still regarded as a guest by Nur Haqi, and felt dissatisfied. This man was just using his words. Before the war, he talked a lot of nonsense, about sinking the boat and fighting to make himself think that there was no ambush in Yu Yanyi.

, to be honest, at least one-third of the responsibility for this defeat is his!

While Turtle Bai was complaining, Kong Youde was also thinking. He had just joined Nur Ha Chi's staff and his foundation was unstable. He needed to make friends with Nur Ha Chi's important ministers.

Although this turtle worshiper looks a little stupid, he has extraordinary martial arts and is deeply trusted by Nur Haqi.

After such a huge defeat, Nur Haqi actually raised his board high and put it down gently, which shows that this person has a very important position in Nurhaqi's heart.

Kong Youde's ability and intelligence are aside for the time being, but his ability to observe words and emotions is absolutely impressive.

Observing the expressions and movements of the two people, one can roughly guess Nur Haqa's psychology.

Therefore, Kong Youde, who had been silent on the side, stepped forward to admonish him: "Your Majesty, the blame for this defeat is not entirely on General Turtle Bai. The villain failed to see through Yu Yanyi's trick, and he used his familiarity and location to manipulate him.

An ambush has been set up. Please punish the prince and the villain together!"

Originally, Liebai was still complaining about Kong Youde and blaming Kong Youde, but now that Kong Youde said it, Liebai, who was still despising Kong Youde in his heart, was deeply moved.

Put yourself in his shoes, if it was Kong Youde who was unlucky now and he was the one watching the show, he would never stand up and ask for a share of the blame.

Kong Youde's move also gave Nurhaci a good step forward. He originally didn't want to punish Turtle Bai.

Although Biebai suffered a defeat, his prestige was still there, and he was still the number one Batulu of the Eight Banners whom he had professed.

When Kong Youde said this, Nurhaqia naturally bowed to him forgivingly.

"Mr. Kong, please wake up!"

Nur Haqia stepped forward and helped Kong Youde, who was kneeling on the ground.

Although Hou Jin had already occupied Youzhou, most of Jizhou, and a small half of Bingzhou at this time.

But it is easy to conquer the world but not easy to govern it.

Originally, Hou Jin only had one area, Jianzhou. Although the area was not small, it had a small population and few cities. It could barely manage it by relying on the officials of Hou Jin and the unsuccessful scholars who had joined the Zhou Dynasty.

But after entering the Central Plains, the problem was discovered.

The manpower to govern counties and counties is far from enough. Although there are many scholars who have come to seek refuge, Nurhaqi also knows that most of these people are candidates who failed in the imperial examination, or are descendants of poor families in Guizhou who are poor and marginalized.

.

That’s why I cherish the opportunity to come forward.

But these people cannot represent the mainstream literati in the Central Plains.

Among the hundreds of schools of thought, the Mohist school is reclusive, the political and political schools have little room for survival, and the Taoist school pays no attention to worldly affairs.

Among the mainstream officials, Confucianism and Legalism were still the main ones.

In particular, Confucian disciples attach great importance to etiquette and law, and look down upon foreign races outside China.

Therefore, it is difficult for someone with a background like Nur Haq's to get support.

At this time, Qizhou Confucius Mansion played a key role.

The Master is the teacher of all generations, and the Master said that he is the Dharma for the world.

Kong Sheng's status was not only high among Confucianists, but also among other schools.

If he can get the support of the Confucius family, then Nurhaqi will be able to win the loyalty of more officials.

Nur Haqi needs enough prestige and reputation, and officials in the world who want to serve foreigners need a step up.

Therefore, the irreplaceability of Confucius House is reflected.

No matter who is competing in the world, they will ultimately need the support of the Confucius family.

So this time the Northern Sect of the Kong family asked Kong Youde to join the Later Jin Army as a representative of the Kong family.

The reputation and legacy of Kong Sheng destined the Confucius family to be just outsiders.

Although it goes against the Confucian character, people with character either died during the invasion of foreigners a hundred years ago, or were unwilling to serve the foreigners, so they went south to Quzhou and established the Southern Sect of the Confucius family.

In the 19th year of the Yuan Dynasty, Taizu of Daqian Dynasty issued an edict to investigate and determined that the then Nanzong Yanshenggong Kong Zhu was the orthodox saint. He then ordered Kong Zhu to enter the court and ordered him to return to Qufu to attack the title.

However, Kong Zhu, the head of the Southern Sect, was unwilling to serve a foreign tribe, so he refused to resign on the grounds that "the temple and tomb of his ancestors were in Qufu" and gave the title to his younger brother Kong Zhi from the Qufu tribe. Later, Kong Zhi attacked and granted Yan Shenggong, ending the two feudal clans. Despite the embarrassing situation, the northern and southern sects still worship their own temples and pass them on from generation to generation.

After Taizu conquered the world, he wanted to let Nan Zong return to the north.

However, Nanzong had resigned from the title for many years and was unwilling to accept the title of Duke Yansheng, so Taizu gave up the idea.

From the northern sect of Confucius to the orthodox of Confucius and Saints.

So after receiving Kong Youde's allegiance, Nur Haqi was very excited.

This means that he has been half recognized by the Confucius government. As long as he can maintain a firm foothold in the three northern states, more people will come to serve him.

This means that he is fully qualified to compete with Da Zhou!

After helping the two people on the ground, Nurha said, "Yu Yanyi is a bachelor of Wuying Palace after all, a genius in the world. He calculates his intentions without thinking, and it is reasonable for you to lose. This small defeat is not a big deal." Totally bad."

Nurha opened his mouth and said, "Ever since we defeated the Longwu Army and Yulin Army in Tumubao, there has been an extremely bad atmosphere in the army, which is to despise the Zhou army. The short-term victory made them forget that Zhou The terror of the army!”

Of course, in the battle of Yao'er Ridge, someone revealed the marching route of the Zhou army's commander, General Zhao Xuanli of the Longwu Army, so Nurha Chi could ambush on Yao'er Ridge in advance.

It was also because of the strong bow and crossbow given by others that he was able to completely kill the leader of the Longwu Army.

The same goes for the Battle of Tumu Fort!

Most people in Houjin were convinced of Nurhaqa because he destroyed the two main forces of the Zhou army, Longwu Army and Yulin Army, in two battles.

Even Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Chen, the gods of war among the Mohe people in Jianzhou, could not do this.

That's why Nur Haq was able to maintain his position after seizing power.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But he is more wary of Zhou Jun's true combat power than anyone else.

"Mr. Kong, I am good at cavalry warfare, but I don't know how to attack a city. I still need you to plan this matter for me!"

Kong Youde smiled and nodded, but he was complaining in his heart. He was a scholar, but he knew nothing about siege warfare!

However, this person was quick-witted and had an idea immediately.

"My lord, there is no need to worry! Although you are good at riding on horseback, there are people who know how to attack a city!"

Nur Haqia was not a stupid person, and he knew what Kong Youde meant after being slightly stunned.

There are righteous men who are loyal to the country, and there will naturally be traitors who are pioneers of thieves!

The Mohe people were not good at siege. In comparison, the Zhou people who took refuge in Nurhaji were naturally more suitable for siege battles.

The soldiers of several counties among them, led by the defenders, collectively surrendered to the Mohe people.

Compared with the soldiers and horses under Nurha Tooth, these people are naturally better at attacking cities.

"Mr. Kong is indeed very talented. I will order them to build the equipment for siege, and give them a chance to serve the new dynasty."

This is the art of language. They are obviously asked to rush to the front and serve as cannon fodder, but when they reach the mouth of the superiors, it turns into an opportunity to serve the new dynasty and Nur Haq's trust in them!

"Hahaha!"

A burst of wild laughter came from the tent.

--------------------------

Yancheng.

Prince Zhao's Mansion.

"Where did Nurha's teeth hit now!?"

King Zhao Zhu Kai, who was supposed to be seriously injured, was currently practicing his sword in the courtyard while asking his subordinates.

"Back to your lord! Now all the counties in Jizhou have completely fallen into the hands of Nurhaji. At this moment, Nurhaji is gathering an army to march towards Jinyang City."

"Yu Yanyi has established a line of defense in Jinyang, right?" Zhu Kai asked casually.

"Exactly! The great scholar Yu mobilized the Bei Cao army and Bei Man army from Jingchu and Chu states into Jinyang, gathered 60,000 defeated troops who fled back from Tumubao, and transferred 20,000 Shenwu troops from Yue and Yang states.

The elite troops totaled 180,000 men and horses."

"Eighteen thousand!? This Yu Yanyi is really a talent. When I met him, he was just a small governor of Bingzhou. Now he is a scholar of Wuyingdian and Minister of the Ministry of War. Without this person, now

Zhou Ting may not be able to escape! Respectable! Hateful!"

"Amitabha, Your Majesty, there is no need to worry! Although our plan has gone awry due to Yu Yanyi's intervention, it is still Your Majesty who will benefit from this matter!"

King Zhao's chief adviser, Monk Du Yan, dressed in black, comforted him.

The original plan of King Zhao and Du Yan was for Nurhaqi to station in the northern border. Zhou Ting did not dare to accept the challenge due to the loss of troops. There was a high probability that the center would withdraw southward and return to its old capital, Jinling.

On the contrary, King Zhao's party members in Beijing will also add fuel to the flames and make it difficult for the imperial court to evacuate.

Once this goal is achieved, the imperial court's prestige in the North will be greatly reduced.

King Zhao can also take this opportunity to regain the lost territory and occupy the northern border. At this point, he can face the southern court from a distance and compete with each other.

And Emperor Zhou is not in good health at the moment, and the road south is bumpy. If he dies unfortunately, how can the new king fight against him?!
