"I think we should immediately send an elite force of 5,000 people to completely solve this Yu Ren. Yuetuo must have underestimated the enemy before he will be defeated." Manguertai said first.

Nurhaci turned to Daishan. "What do you think?"

Dai Shan stood up, "I have an unshirkable responsibility for Yuetuo's defeat. But I know this child very well. It is absolutely impossible to say that he underestimates the enemy. He followed me everywhere at the age of thirteen. No matter what kind of enemy he faces, he will quickly defeat the enemy with the strongest force and give full play to the advantages of our Jurchen cavalry.

This Yu Ren can eat up one thousand elite cavalry, and it is definitely not just the thousands of gangsters. In my opinion, he has at least 30,000 elite soldiers."

Dai Shan's words are very obvious, and they are refuting Manguertai's accusation of Yue Tuo of his personal command mistakes, and classifying the defeat as Yu Ren's strength.

Of course, Nurhaci understood the implicit meaning of his two sons. However, he did not comment, but turned his attention to the Four Beile Huang Taiji.

Although Huang Taiji ranks fourth among the four major belles, Nurhaci actually valued him the most.

"What does Lao Ba think?"

Huang Taiji stood up, took a look at Dai Shan first, and then said, "I think the key point at the moment is not to discuss how to fight back against Yu Ren, nor should he discuss the cause of Yue Tuo's defeat. The most important thing for us now is to seize the opportunity to go east and go down Shanhaiguan in one fell swoop.

Only by setting up Shanhaiguan can we Jurchens truly have the opportunity to compete with the Ming Dynasty.”

Manguertai smiled, "Old Eight, I think you were so happy after two victories! Do you know how big the Ming Dynasty was, how many people were there in the Ming Dynasty? Let's forget it! Our Jurchens will not exceed 300,000 in total. How many people did the Ming Dynasty have? 130 million.

With our familiarity with the terrain of Liaodong, it is OK to grab some of their sheep, cattle and women. If we go to the pass to fight for the world with them, wouldn’t it be a death? Besides, we don’t know anything about the mountains, rivers and terrain in the pass. If someone sets a pocket, all of our 100,000 people will be reimbursed. Losing a 100,000 yuan is just a drop in the bucket. If we lose a 100,000 yuan, it will be a waste of money."

When Nurhaci heard the word "Micu", the corners of his mouth twitched.

In fact, he also had the same thoughts as Huang Taiji. This kind of thought was not something that he had from the beginning. In the past, he really didn't have this idea. Even when he released the seven major hatreds and declared war on the Ming Dynasty, he did not have the intention to compete with the Ming Dynasty for the world.

But with the success of wars over the past few years, his ambitions have become greater and greater. He gradually felt that no one in the world could become his opponent and prevent him from entering Shanhaiguan east.

However, Yue Tuo's crushing defeat made his originally firm heart start to shake a little. Nurhaci knew Yu Ren's strength very well. Although he claimed to have three thousand men, their three thousand men were just a mob in Nurhaci's eyes. If we were to consider combat effectiveness, he believed that these three thousand men would never be stronger than their Jurchen cavalry team of two hundred men.

However, Yu Ren, a team of three thousand combat power, took away all Yuetuo's elite cavalry. This made Nurhaci also began to believe Dai Shan's previous speculation: Yu Ren had absolutely more than three thousand people in his hands. If he wanted to eat up one thousand of their elite troops, even if he was the elite army of the Ming Dynasty, it would be impossible to do without 30,000 people. Could this be really a trick of the Ming army, who wanted to use the east to attract his army and then concentrate his troops to attack his nest from the west?

Although he had this idea in his mind, Nurhaci still didn't believe it very much. The reason was actually very simple. First of all, Zhenjiang Fort was lost for less than two months, and even if the Ming Dynasty wanted to mobilize troops there, it was not so fast; secondly, the secret detective he placed inside the Ming Dynasty told him that Yu Ren was not valued by Emperor Tianqi, and the troops used to capture Zhenjiang here were mainly his own private armed forces.

Although Nurhaci began to doubt Yu Ren's real military strength, he did not waver about his determination to advance east, but he did not want to say this himself. So he turned his attention to Huang Taiji.

"Lao Ba, what do you think?"

Huang Taiji took a step forward and shouted, "I think the fifth brother's words are wrong. Yes, the Han people are indeed hundreds of times more than us. However, they are like a flock of sheep on the land of Liaodong, while we are a flock of wolves. No matter how many flocks there are, they can only become food for the wolves in the end.

As for Yu Ren, there is no need to worry. This is not the first time we have fought with the Ming army. I have thought about it. With their strength, the only way to wipe out our 1,000 elite troops is to lead our troops to a trap designed in advance, otherwise even 50,000 people would not be able to do it. So, I think Yue Tuo will be defeated so badly, because he must have fallen into Yu Ren's trap.

Yu Ren's trap can only be used in the Zhenjiang area he captured. It is impossible to use this method in Liaoyang. Therefore, I think we don't have to worry about the safety of Liaoyang at all. Because Yu Ren could not dare to go to Liaoyang to find trouble.

At present, the 100,000 people from Wang Huazhen in the east were just defeated by us, and the Ming army was in a state of terror. This was the best time for us to break through Shanhaiguan and take the group of sheep directly from the Ming Dynasty. Khan must not hesitate!"

Manguertai sneered, "You are always so confident. Since you think that our Jurchens are wolfs and Han people are sheep, why did Yuetuo's wolf be eaten by Yu Ren's sheep?"

"That was just an accident. Yu Ren may indeed have some tricks. But he was not trusted by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise he would not have sneaked into Zhenjiang Fort with only a few hundred people. He only had three thousand gangs in his hands. What could he do if he could? Can he still fight to Liaoyang?

When we break through Shanhaiguan and drive the Ming emperor out of Beijing, we will send another 5,000 iron cavalry back to Zhenjiang. By then, all the problems in western Liaoning will naturally be solved. If we now return for the little thief's movement, wouldn't we be ousting their will and missing the best fighter?"

Nurhaci looked at Daishan. "What do you think?"

Dai Shan glanced at Huang Taiji. "I think what Lao Ba said is reasonable. Although Yue Tuo was defeated by Yu Ren, Yu Ren would never dare to go to our Liaoyang. Even if he really had 50,000 people, he would not dare to go to Liaoyang.

Shanhaiguan has always been high and deep, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. At the moment, the Ming army has been defeated and has no morale. It is the best time for us to break through Shanhaiguan. If we do not advance in time, it will be difficult to attack Shanhaiguan when the Ming army recovers. "

After hearing Dai Shan's words, Nurhaci finally made up his mind. "Okay, everyone will go back to the camp to prepare, set off tomorrow and send troops to Shanhaiguan."

The Jurchen army advanced quickly eastward. Unfortunately, they rested for several days in Guangning City and had missed the best fighter plane.

By the time they left Guangning and set foot on the Liaodong Corridor, Xiong Tingbi had basically completed the task of stabilizing the walls and clearing the fields. The Jurchen army had only walked east for one day and stopped. On this day, they had gained nothing, and even the firewood was not easy to find at night. It was the middle of winter, and the weather was cold and the land was frozen. The castles and the houses in the village were deliberately pushed down.

Although there were only one day, hundreds of people in the Jurchen cavalry had been frostbite, and Shanhaiguan was still a hundred miles away.

On that day, Nurhaci sat on the horse, looked into the distance, and saw a deserted place in the distance. His heart couldn't help but hesitate again.

"It is said that the Ming Dynasty is prosperous and prosperous, but what we see is just a wasteland all the way east. On this day, we walked nearly a hundred miles, but we couldn't find a sheep. If this continues, what's the use of even if we capture Shanhaiguan and occupy the territory of the Han people! What's the use of these wild mountains and forests!"

After hearing this, Huang Taiji couldn't help but feel anxious. "Father Khan, you must not be confused by the tricks of the Han people! They must have known that they could not defeat us, so they deliberately hid all the people and animals here, so that we thought there was nothing in front of us, so we took the initiative to retreat.

Father Khan, now is the best time to capture Shanhaiguan, and Shanhaiguan is the last pass for us to send troops to the pass. Even if we capture Shanhaiguan, we will get nothing. In the future, we can send troops from here at any time to rob anything we want."

Before Huang Taiji could finish his words, Mangourtai jumped out. "Old Ba, I said, can you stop being so wishful, okay! You always think about how rich the Han people are. But we have seen nothing along the way. So what about the inner world? Can we still be rich in Liaodong? I think Beijing may not be bigger than Liaoyang, let alone other places.

Can you really get what we want by breaking Shanhaiguan? Besides, Shanhaiguan is not so easy to capture. We have already taken Guangning City, and hundreds of miles ahead are deserted, and it is useless to ask for it. I think it would be better to return to Liaoyang earlier to avoid our Jurchen warriors being frostbitten."

Huang Taiji was about to refute, but suddenly a messenger ran towards him from afar.

"Report to the Great Khan. The 100,000 Han troops have surrounded Liaoyang City."
