Chapter 2194: The battle to attack the heart of the Gu

Chapter 2194 The battle of Guizi scroll begins first

 “Brother, the younger brother is just about to give an explanation on this issue.”

Abai didn't have much favorable impression of this brother. He was not as friendly and popular as his second brother Daishan, nor as smart and wise as the old Eight Emperors Taiji. He always felt that he should be the natural successor to his father Khan. He felt that the brothers Everyone should listen to him and act according to his wishes, but Abai doesn't want to offend the other party.

"Hmph, I want to see how you explain it. From the very beginning, you said a lot of things about being afraid of hardship and fear of death. Netu and you didn't learn anything from the Han people, so you learned to be greedy for life and afraid of death?" Chu Ying snorted coldly. With a sound, he curled his lips.

Netu turned a deaf ear to Chu Ying's humiliating words, and Abai pretended not to hear, and continued: "My son knows what his father is thinking, how dare he neglect this matter? From these four In terms of factors, my son feels that if it takes a few months, the situation may change and develop in a direction that is beneficial to us. The first reason is because the news from Fengzhou Bailian is that their Bailian sect in the Central Plains is facing a crisis. Under the pressure of the government, we must be prepared to launch a round of resistance next year, and Fengzhou Bailian is also prepared to cooperate with their Bailian sect to take military action, which is estimated to be more reliable than the requirements of the Chahar and Tumut people."

Nurhachi nodded slightly, then shook his head: "Fengzhou White Lotus alone is of no concern. Without the help of the Chahar people, it is a bit regretful. Also, Abai, how powerful do you think this White Lotus sect is in the Central Plains of Han Dynasty? We are just hearing about the white lotus from the Han region, but the uprising of those stupid men and women probably won’t be successful, right?”

"Father Khan, we can't say for sure how powerful the Bailian sect is in the Han region, but judging from the situation of Fengzhou Bailian, their influence in the Han region is at least deep-rooted. Once an incident breaks out, especially in the hinterland of Gyeonggi Province, It must be something that can help us." Abai thought for a while before saying.

Nurhaci nodded and said nothing more.

"The second point is the issue of the Great Zhou Dynasty's pacification of Shandong's army. Currently, Sun Chengzong's northern army has returned north. I heard that it will be stationed from the east of Ji Town to the western Liaoning line..." As soon as these words came out, everyone frowned. If If the Zhou army is stationed on this line, it will pose a great threat to itself. Once a war starts in Liaodong, this army can reinforce Liaodong at any time.

"This situation is indeed not optimistic, but Feng Tang's Northwest Army is said to be attacking Xuzhou. If this army attacks Xuzhou, it will basically be unable to use its hands." Abai glanced at Nurhachi, "I'm afraid this is the only one. good news."

"Huh, Sun Chengzong's army stationed in western Liaoning is enough to offset everything. Abai, I don't see any news that you are happy about after half a year." Nurhachi said with a gloomy face.

"Father Khan, this is indeed true, but the third point is worthy of joy, that is, the rebellion in southern Shanxi is getting stronger and stronger. It is said that it has attracted the attention of the Zhou court and is preparing to let Sun Chengzong's army march west to Shanxi to pacify If there is chaos, the Datong army may also be sent south, but this news is not yet certain. The Zhou Dynasty court is still hesitant, maybe because it is worried about us..."

Nurhaci was finally moved by Abai's news. "The chaos in Shanxi is severe. Does the Zhou Dynasty want Sun Chengzong to quell the chaos?"

"There are just such rumors. Sun Chengzong's army is still in the Jizhen area and has not made any moves." Abai shook his head, "This news was obtained by his son through channels, but it is not certain how true it is. Easy to talk about."

“Then can we persuade the White Lotus sect in the Han region to contribute to the trouble in Shanxi and make it more serious?” Nurhachi looked at Abai and Netu.

Abai and Netu glanced at each other, and Netu hesitated and said: "Great Khan, the Bailian sect in Han Dynasty has no contact with us. If we want to contact us, we have to go through Fengzhou Bailian to make a connection, and it may not be possible. …”

"Whether it works or not, we have to give it a try. If we can mobilize Sun Chengzong's army, then our chances of winning in Liaodong will be much greater." Nurhaci slammed the armrest with his palm and stood up, "Now We must do our best to handle the affairs. If we can choose the right time to let the Han Bailian sect and Fengzhou Bailian start an uprising together, and by the way mobilize Sun Chengzong's army, then even if we can't take Liaodong, we can at least take Anlezhou. The threat to us from the Tieling Guards has been completely eliminated. If the opportunity is good, we may not be unable to capture Shenyang."

“I’ll do it after my son gets back.” Abai responded quickly.

"Well, Abai, you have done a good job on this matter. It is not easy to find out these situations." Nurhaci sighed, "This week is so big that it makes us Jurchens unable to breathe. How about now?" It's easy to take advantage of the civil strife in the Great Zhou Dynasty to give us some opportunities. If we can't seize it, I'm afraid I won't be able to rest in peace after I die."

"Father Khan, we just transferred Sun Chengzong's army away. We still need to face the army in Liaodong Town, and now the army in Liaodong Town is replacing firearms on a large scale. Father Khan must be careful about this. If we are careless and underestimate the enemy, I'm afraid ..." Seeing Nurhaci's firm attitude, Daishan felt a little worried.

 He knew the situation in Liaodong Town, especially after a trip to Han Dynasty, he had a deeper understanding of the situation in Han Dynasty.

Although Liaodong Town was isolated in a corner, reinforcements from the Zhou Dynasty could only come through the narrow road of the Western Liaoning Corridor, but now the situation has changed, and the Zhou Dynasty can transport troops and supplies by sea, so this disadvantage has been reduced to a minimum. , but the threat to one's own side is countless times greater.

"Daishan, your worry is not unreasonable, but can we give up the war because of this danger?" Nurhachi glanced at his second son. This Daishan is good at everything, but he is too cautious and has to consider every detail. , so that he frightened himself many times, "The situation in Dazhou is not like this for one or two days. Didn't we also succeed in attacking Fushun Pass last year? Of course, Yongfang made a great contribution here, Yongfang , how is the internal situation in Liaodong Town now?"

"It is well known that Cao Wenzhao and Zhao Lejiao are not on good terms. Feng Tang used to be able to balance all parties, but now Cao Wenzhao cannot convince people like Zhao Lejiao and Liu Wei and Dusong at all. In addition, people like the Zu family brothers They are also a faction of their own. They are direct descendants of Li Chengliang, and they are not the same people as Zhao Lejiao, Liu Wei and Du Song. After Cao Wenzhao came, he did not move closer to Cao Wenzhao and kept waiting. Therefore, Liaodong In fact, there are many problems within the town. As long as we choose the attack point, we can definitely choose its weakness and attack it, making it difficult for them to form a joint force..."

 Li Yongfang has always stood on the edge. He knows that he is not qualified to participate in the core discussion of Jianzhou Jurchens, so he can only passively wait for Nurhachi to ask.

However, he is too familiar with the inside of Liaodong Town. After defecting to the Jurchen side of Jianzhou, he has never stopped contacting and wooing his former colleagues in Liaodong Town.

Although most people flatly rejected their solicitation, some people still accepted their contact, and this contact has never been severed.

The Great Khan was also very generous and generous in giving out a lot of gold and silver so that he could win over these middle and lower-level officers without reservation, hoping that when the two sides fought again one day, even one or two of them could stand on his side. On one side, it is enough to change the situation of the battle at critical moments.

"Yongfang, if there is going to be a war this time, how many people can you contact who can be used by me?" Nurhachi looked at Li Yongfang with a very calm and natural expression. "If it is not possible for the time being, are there any other channels to use them?"

"Great Khan, I have contacted three or five of the middle and lower-level military attachés. Once these people are tempted, it will be easy to defeat them, so we have to choose the right time and place to come." Li Yongfang said boldly .

"Yongfang, from now on, you step up your efforts to contact your old friends and acquaintances. As long as you can use it for me, there is no limit to the gold and silver. As long as you think it is worth it, everything is worth it." Nurhaci has great trust and trust in Li Yongfang. Admittedly, the Battle of Fushun Pass brought tens of thousands of people to Jianzhou Jurchen, which suddenly expanded Jianzhou Jurchen's construction and production capacity several times. Now it is the most suitable outlet.

“Don’t worry, Khan, I will do my best to handle this matter.” Li Yongfang agreed.

Clearing his throat, Nurhaci looked around the hall, and then he slowly said: "Now is the best time to take away the royal luck from Da Zhou. We Jianzhou Jurchens cannot lose this opportunity. , whether it's a big fight or a small battle, in short we want to achieve decent results, but the Han people have begun to retreat. They are constantly fighting internally and have their own agendas. This is our biggest opportunity, so from now on, we have to Further accumulate strength, and when the war actually begins, then we will use all our strength and strive to win in one fell swoop!"

Abai breathed a sigh of relief when he came out of the hall. Only then did he realize that his back was soaked with sweat.

Even he himself can't explain why he believed that man's words. Now he is full of doubts about his father Khan's words. The Zhou Dynasty is so big, and its population and supplies are hundreds of times that of the Jurchens. How can we defeat them? Pass?

Also, once the Han people sail the ship directly to western Liaoning and southern Liaoning, this mode of transportation can greatly change the constraints of Liaodong Town and pose the most realistic threat to the Jurchens, but for the Jurchens, it is actually unsolvable .

 Shaking his head, Abai wanted to get rid of the impression of that man from his mind, but he couldn't get rid of it. When the time came, maybe he could really do something?

Abai subconsciously turned his head and glanced south.
