Huang Taiji was reminded and took the memorial from the eunuch again and started to read it quickly. After reading it, his fat face was very ugly.

In the memorial, Yue Tuo first apologized for the crime, and then explained the specific situation of the battle. Then he said his opinion. He believed that the Jinzhou City was led by Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, and his morale was very high. Without the basis of artillery, the casualties would definitely be high. Even so, it is difficult to say whether it can be defeated in the short term. Whether it is a strong attack, a siege, or a retreat, please make a decision!

Huang Taiji threw the memorial to Fan Wencheng and shouted loudly with anger: "I believe in him, I gave him this credit... the burden. Look, he even took out his retreat. Is this going to embarrass me?"

If he really retreated, then Huang Taiji's previous arrangement would be a joke! The families of those who were killed for criticism and the people behind them might incite them again privately, and others are also very likely to be bewitched by them! Therefore, this withdrawal is absolutely not allowed!

Fan Wencheng picked up the memorial and read it quickly, and his face looked ugly. Facing Huang Taiji's roar, he was speechless!

The Qing Dynasty had soldiers, and they were elite soldiers. One Qing army fought two Ming soldiers, and ten thousand Qing soldiers were invincible. However, there was no food! Without food, even if there was elite soldiers, it was useless! The problem in front of us was truly in line with the saying, "A good woman can't cook without rice!"

It is definitely not possible to retreat. If you attack strongly, siege the city is a shortcoming of the Qing Dynasty. Especially if you cannot send an internal city in advance, you basically have never fought hard and beaten down! Moreover, in this winter, it is cold and freezing, digging tunnels is just a dream in the daytime, and it is impossible to dig a city wall...

After thinking about it, there is no way to effectively win the city except for the life-consuming waste! Fan Wencheng felt for the first time that his IQ seemed to be a little insufficient!

Huang Taiji had no choice but to report to his trusted ministers, such as Dai Shan, Jirgalang, Ajige and Prince Haoge, to discuss countermeasures.

These people were summoned to Chongzheng Hall, and when they heard the news from Jinzhou, they were stunned. After Haoge came to his senses, he was even more secretly glad that it was fortunate that Emperor Ama handed over this matter to Yuetuo and did not give it to him, otherwise he would be embarrassed!

Huang Taiji first set the tone for this imperial meeting, that is, he must not withdraw his troops and give up Jinzhou to the Ming army! As for the others, I will discuss it again and again.

"Your Majesty, if you are besieged, the food in Jinzhou City will be gone!" Dai Shan carefully put forward his opinion. The reason why he said this was when Huang Taiji made an announcement before, hoping to seize the food from the Ming army in Jinzhou City to replenish the winter food for the Qing Dynasty.

Huang Taiji had a gloomy face and nodded, "I know!"

This means that besieging the city is the worst strategy. If there is a good method of attacking, you don’t need this method of besieging the city.

No one had any way, so no one spoke. The Chongzheng Palace became very quiet. The eunuch and palace maid even tried to breathe as much as possible, for fear of making a slight sound. There were examples before, and some people couldn't help but fart, and they lost their heads.

Huang Taiji waited for a while, but when he saw that no one was talking, he was a little annoyed and immediately shouted loudly: "This is a war in Liaodong. Since there is no good way, then build as many siege equipment as possible and use human lives to pile up Jinzhou for me!"

Of course, what he said about taking human life would definitely not be the fate of the Manchus. Everyone knows this because this is common sense.

After hearing this, Haoge immediately supported him: "Emperor Ahma said, those people die if they die, and they can save more food!"

Huang Taiji looked at him when he heard the sound, and nodded this time, which affirmed Haoge's statement, which made Haoge very happy.

However, Huang Taiji finally frowned and said, "No matter who attacks for the most, there is no reason to die. At least he has to give them a full meal and have the strength to attack the city. But, where does the food come from?"

No matter what, the word "grain" can never be avoided! When these Jianlu leaders hear this word, their foreheads hurt!

Dai Shan thought for a moment and then spoke, "Why don't you ask for some food from the Mongolian tribes?"

Hearing this suggestion, Ajige and others nodded. They were allies. Now the Qing Dynasty is short of food, so it is natural to ask them for food!

After hearing this, Huang Taiji thought about it carefully for a while, but finally shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate. The Mongolian tribes have no food. Winter has been a problem in recent years. This year, in order to establish his authority, the Qing Dynasty has already slaughtered the Aohan tribe. If you force them to squeeze out the grain again, you may push them to the Ming Dynasty! If you have no choice, don't take this step!"

Hearing this conclusion, the Chongzheng Hall calmed down again. Only Haoge, unlike others, looked down and pondered. After looking at Huang Taiji and the others, or because he had the courage to get Huang Taiji's praise, he made a suggestion: "Huang Ma, this is nothing. At worst, it's better to eat two-legged sheep like before!"

The leader Jianlu who was present heard this and looked up at him, but no one rejected it. If there was really not enough food, then this was all there was to do!

Huang Taiji looked at the others and he was a little unhappy. After all, he had already founded the country and became the emperor, and this large-scale cannibalism made him feel a little embarrassed about his face. But there was no other way, so he could only do this.

He was about to make the decision and just schedule it, but he found that Fan Wencheng's face seemed a little special, as if he was thinking about something and had an idea.

Suddenly, a glimmer of hope arose in his heart, and he quickly called out and asked, "Fan Qing, do you have any good plans?"

Hearing this, several people in the hall looked at him, not believing that he could tell a better way.

Fan Wencheng heard that he was named by Huang Taiji. After he hesitating a little, he replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I really have a way to think of it on the basis of the prince."

"Oh, let's talk about it!" Huang Taiji asked quickly when he heard this.

When Haoge heard this, his lips curled slightly, and a hint of contempt and dissatisfaction appeared. This Han slave, thinking of a way to think about it on his own head, was not a good thing!

Fan Wencheng said to Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, the governor of Jinzhou is Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai. I thought that this man was from a Jinshi, a governor, and a magistrate of the Ming Dynasty. Although he was indeed a brave and brave man, he was still a civil servant in the final analysis. Since he was a civil servant, he must care about his reputation. Therefore, I thought that this was his weakness and the weakness of Jinzhou!"
