~~~~~~

Looking at Daishan's gloomy and sad old face, and his eyes that were originally bright but had become indescribably cloudy, Huang Taiji felt much calmer.

The Han people have a saying that goes, "If you have no desires, you will be strong."

Huang Taiji has always been deeply aware of this.

With Daikin's entire morale and military morale already in such a sluggish state, is it really a wise move to force ourselves against a powerful overlord like Li Yuanqing?

For a moment, an indescribable smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Huang Taiji's mouth. He slowly nodded to Dai Shan and said with a smile: "Second brother's mature and prudent words, I will consider them carefully. Dear gentlemen, can you please return them?"

What’s there to think about?”

…………

The military meeting on top of the city was extremely dull, and everyone was forced to speak reluctantly. However, Huang Taiji seemed to have opened a skylight in his mind, and his whole person became much brighter.

During the lunch break when he returned to the city, he summoned Jierhalang and Yue Tuo to his side.

But Huang Taiji did not summon the two of them together, but came one by one.

According to the blood status of the royal family, Jierhalang is naturally ranked ahead of Yue Tuo.

"Haha. Sixth, sit down, don't be formal."

At this time, the main force of the Ming army had begun to bulldoze the earth. Although the distance was still quite far, Huang Taiji did not return to the official hall, but took a temporary rest in a three-in residence in the south of the city.

This courtyard was originally a businessman's residence. Although the furniture was soaked in water at that time, it has been tidied up now. Although it is a little dilapidated, it is still in good condition overall.

Huang Taiji sat on the main seat and greeted Jierhalang to take a seat with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you Bage..."

Jirharang felt very uneasy and carefully sat down half his buttocks.

He knew that his political views conflicted with his myna's, and he no longer dared to be as close and casual as before.

At this time, although Jierhalang could not guarantee that his idea was right, he always felt that Huang Taiji's decision to fight to the death was still a bit too hasty.

But how can such a thing be said so easily?

Ji Erhalang is also waiting for the opportunity to enlighten Huang Taiji. Even if he cannot make Huang Taiji change his decision, at least he should not be so rash again.

"Haha. Lao Liu, do you think that Bago is a little too impatient?"

Huang Taiji smiled, threw a cigar to Jierhalang, and looked into Jierhalang's eyes.

Ji'erharang's heart suddenly thumped. He had to admire Bago's grasp of people's hearts, which was comparable to the roundworm in his belly.

He hurriedly took the cigar and said respectfully: "Bago, I don't know what to say about this matter. However, there is no oil or water in the land of Haizhou Four Battles..."

He wanted to say something else, but Huang Taiji smiled and waved his hand, "Lao Liu, you don't need to be so nervous, just relax. Bago is not as fragile as you think."

"Myna..."

Jierhalang looked at Huang Taiji hurriedly.

Huang Taiji took a deep breath of his cigar, smiled and said: "Lao Liu, the country of Dajin is in danger, and we need you and me to work together."

Ji'erhalang nodded heavily, "Bago, I'm thinking of this slave. I, Dajin, was trapped in Haizhou by Li Yuanqing. It's like a dragon's shoal. Even if I have power, it's difficult to exert it. Of course, the slave also knows

, if Haizhou does not fight, the morale of our Daikin will be even more damaged. But Bage, in these successive battles, our Daikin and Li Yuanqing are actually going back and forth with each other. Although our Daikin has suffered some damage, Li Yuanqing is

It may be damaged, but it may not be without damage.”

As Jirharang spoke, he carefully looked at Huang Taiji's expression. When he saw Huang Taiji nodding his head gently, he became more courageous and let go completely.

"Bago, the Han people say that when you go astray, you will find your way back. In this situation, I, Da Jin, and Li Yuanqing are so stubborn. It's really... it's a hundred harms and no benefit. Even if we win, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape unscathed.

The key is that Li Yuanqing is sitting on the water. Even if we defeat Li Yuanqing, according to Li Yuanqing's viciousness and cunning, it may be difficult to damage Li Yuanqing's foundation. The slaves think that Li Yuanqing actually wants to waste time with us. Even if he bulldozes the earth

If we come here, we may not be able to attack the city immediately."

"Bago, at this time in Haizhou, I am afraid that the long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain. Even if Li Yuanqing really wants to go deep into the hinterland of Liaodi, without the support of the water potential, I, Daikin, will have the advantage of the homeland, and Li Yuanqing will

What kind of waves can be caused? By then, I am afraid that I, Dajin, do not need a big victory, but only a small victory to defeat Li Yuanqing. Not to mention, the Ming court's suspicion of Li Yuanqing is no longer temporary.

"

Jierhalang said, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing desperately, "Myna, take a step back and the sea and sky will be brighter. As long as the green mountains are left, why should we worry about not having firewood..."

Huang Taiji nodded slowly, exhaled a long breath of thick mist, and after a moment, smiled and said: "Lao Liu, it's great that you can say this to Bage today. Bage will think about it carefully. You and

Get up, go down and rest first. I will think about it carefully."

"yes……"

Jierhalang left the door with tears in his eyes. Not long after, Yue Tuo also came to the room quickly, but his steps were much heavier than before.

Huang Taiji naturally noticed this detail.

Just as Yue Tuo was about to salute, Huang Taiji smiled and waved his hand, "Yue Tuo, there is no need to be polite. Sit down."

"Thank you, thank you Khan."

Yue Tuo was a little unsure about Huang Taiji, so he quickly sat down carefully.

Huang Taiji smiled and glanced at Yue Tuo, "Yue Tuo, you are a good boy. I want to hear your real thoughts on this battle."

"Sweat profusely..."

Yue Tuo was a little at a loss for a moment.

His relationship with Huang Taiji is still very close, even surpassing the closeness between him and his father Daishan.

But at this time, Yue Tuo couldn't understand Huang Taiji's thoughts.

Huang Taiji smiled and said: "Yue Tuo, if there is such a quarrel between you and me, it will make me very sad."

Yue Tuo hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The Great Khan, my servant dare not. As long as the Great Khan gives the order, my servant will do his best and die."

Huang Taiji smiled and waved his hand, "Yue Tuo, I'm going to prepare it, just like Haizhou."

"Well……"

Yue Tuo was petrified immediately, and it took him a long time to react. He looked at Huang Taiji in a daze and said, "Khan, this..."

Huang Taiji continued to laugh and said: "This place in Haizhou is tasteless. It's tasteless to eat and it's a pity to throw it away. Before, I was just trying to boost morale, but now, things have proven that I made some mistakes."

"Khan, this, this is not a mistake on your part. It's just that God was a little off. Otherwise, the flood would have dispersed Li Yuanqing and turned his bones into ashes."

"Haha. Yue Tuo, you don't have to comfort me. If I don't dare to accept this mistake, how can I fight against Li Yuanqing again? I want to hear your true thoughts."

"Sweat profusely..."

Yue Tuo wiped the cold sweat from his head with some difficulty and said carefully: "Great Khan, it is not a bad idea to start a tug-of-war with Li Yuanqing and the Ming army in Haizhou. It's just... Great Khan, for your slave's consideration, we can use our little

Large-scale harassment, not such a large-scale stalemate. Otherwise, if Li Yuanqing can hold on if it continues, we at Daikin will probably..."

…………

After seeing off Yue Tuo, Huang Taiji let out a long breath and stood by the window, looking out at the green and lush garden.

What has happened is beyond human power.

If he continues to hold on, he will be in trouble with himself.

In fact, Huang Taiji also understood very well that Li Yuanqing definitely did not want to start a decisive battle with him in a place like Haizhou, a place of four battles, because this was not in Li Yuanqing's interests.

Li Yuanqing is a bad wolf.

It is even more like a white-eyed wolf that is not familiar with the food.

This is true for Dajin, and even more so for Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Li Yuanqing's morale and momentum had already risen. If he had to use his own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points, it would naturally not be the behavior of a wise man.

But~~, it is not that easy to give up Haizhou so easily.

…………

Night falls quietly.

In the Ming army camp, warm bonfires were raised, and the men gathered in groups, preparing to enjoy tonight's dinner.

Today, the main force of the Ming army's bulldozing offensive went very smoothly and had pushed out more than half a mile of ground.

At this speed, it only takes five or six days to push it to the bottom of Haizhou City.

By then, these dog tartars will not be as nourished as they are now!

Li Yuanqing was also in a very good mood.

Beating the drum and passing the flowers, leaving the burden to Hou Jin's side, he has a wider range of choices, and the invisible strategic depth is also lengthened.

Coupled with the support of Haizhou Xincheng behind him, Li Yuanqing had enough patience to play slowly with Huang Taiji.

Patrolling the camp, checking the food status of the men, feeling the excited shouts of the men, and looking at their excited smiling faces, Li Yuanqing's mood became smoother.

The so-called one goes down and the other goes up.

If things continue like this, Huang Taiji's good days may be counted on his fingers.

I was about to go back to meet Chen Zhong for dinner and discuss tomorrow's offensive. At this time, some soldiers came to report hurriedly and said in a very low voice: "Commander, there is an envoy from Houjin."
