July 1, the first year of Chongzhen.
After the efforts of those spies, the Ming Dynasty's battle plan against establishing slaves was finally presented to the slave chief Daishan.
After receiving the news, the slave chief Daishan immediately held a military meeting of the Later Jin Dynasty.
In the end, under Huang Taiji's suggestion, Daishan decided to make a one-on-one fight.
The first fight is to unite with the Mongols and kill the Ming army led by Zhu Dingguo first.
Yihe first stabilized Su Polu in Gaizhou.
After all, Zhu Dingguo's Ming army came to destroy him, and there was no possibility of making peace.
Moreover, if they unite the Mongols and Zhu Dingguo to fight it out, their own strength cannot be worse than the Mongols, otherwise Lin Dan will not miss this opportunity to weaken Hou Jin.
In this way, Su Polu's army that could stay behind was only 20,000 people. Moreover, there was no spare power to provide support before the victory was decided with the Ming army.
Su Polu, who was watching eagerly from the side, would never let go of this opportunity to bite off a piece of meat from Hou Jin.
Daishan chose Xipingbao as the location for the decisive battle. Of course, if the Ming army had any advantages to take advantage of during the march, Daishan would never let it go.
The reason why Xiping Fort was chosen was that it was a must-attack place for the Ming army. If the Ming army wanted to threaten Shengjing, in addition to taking the water route, they had to take Xiping Fort, otherwise they would be easily attacked from both sides. This is a taboo in the art of war.
Secondly, this war still needs the help of the Mongols. The power of the Later Jin Dynasty still exists, and Lin Dan will not allow his men to cross the Liao River.
Thirdly, there were no rivers around Xiping Fort, so the Ming army had to send more troops to transport food and grass.
In this way, the strength of the Ming army was virtually weakened.
Fourthly, once Xiping Fort falls into the hands of the Ming army, everything west of the Liao River will fall into the hands of the Ming army, and the Ming army will directly threaten Shengjing, which is absolutely not allowed by Jiannu.
Of course, Houjin would also send heavy troops to guard the Empress Palace and the mouth of the Liao River.
After all, the news that Zhu Dingguo's 5,000 Beijing camp defeated 100,000 rebels had already reached the ears of Liaodong senior officials.
For such a general, Daishan did not dare to be careless.
In case the other side sends a partial army, they can take advantage of the battle between the two armies to march directly to Shengjing. That's trouble.
However, the premise for the implementation of these plans is to ensure that Su Polu will not come out to cause trouble.
After all, Su Polu's strength is not weak. Once the opponent takes advantage of the decisive battle between Hou Jin and Ming Dynasty to intervene, Hou Jin will really be unable to save his life.
"Master Beile, Su Polu sent a letter."
Huang Taiji, who was racking his brains on how to stabilize Su Polu, received a report from his slaves.
"Send it up." Huang Taiji said without thinking.
Ever since Houjin suffered several losses in the hands of Su Polu, the senior leaders of Houjin no longer dare to underestimate Su Polu.
In order to resist the threat of Su Polu, Yaozhou, which is closest to Su Polu's power, in addition to Youhuang Taiji, the brainy Lord Beile, also has the fierce general Mang Gurtai.
The two Beile Lords of the Later Jin Dynasty guarded Yaozhou, which shows that the Later Jin Dynasty attached great importance to Su Polu.
"I, Su Polu, pay the money."
These six simple words left Huang Taiji confused for a moment.
Su Polu, what does this mean?
Are you addicted to blackmail?
Do you want to continue the previous blackmail competition between Hou Jin and the Ming Dynasty? Or do you want to confuse us and make us let down our guard?
It would be easier if it was the first type. Spending money to buy Ping An is definitely a very cost-effective deal for the current financial situation.
After all, under the Ming Dynasty's blockade, Houjin's current money is just for decoration. It would definitely not be a loss to spend part of it to buy Su Polu and stand still.
But if it is the second case, things will be troublesome.
"Master, Su Polu's envoy is just outside the city. I wonder if the master can see him?"
Jiannu on the side looked at Huang Taiji with a straight face and said tremblingly.
"Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier? See you, you must see me, and give me a real pomp. I want the Ming army's spies hiding around to know that I received Su Polu's envoy." Huang Taiji's face was filled with excitement. said.
Since Su Polu occupied Lushun, Huang Taiji discovered the intelligence network re-established by Ming Dynasty in Houjin.
Most of these spies chose to occupy the mountains as kings in the places occupied by Hou Jin, and usually hid in the mountains. When the farming season is busy, they come out to cause trouble.
Hou Jin wanted to eliminate these spies of the Ming Dynasty more than once, but after spending huge manpower and material resources, he found that the effect was not obvious.
Coupled with the fact that a large number of troops were restrained by the Ming army and these spies were unable to penetrate deep into the town, the senior Jin Dynasty officials ignored the existence of these spies.
But now these spies can be used by himself. He received Su Polu's envoy with great fanfare. As long as the Ming army's spies are not blind, they will pass the information back.
By then, even if the Ming emperor believed Su Polu's explanation, there would definitely be a gap between them.
.....
"Fan Wencheng, you."
"Shut up" hurriedly stopped Mang Gurtai's words. Huang Taiji smiled awkwardly.
"Master Fan has come all the way, but what are your instructions?"
Huang Taiji never thought that Su Polu would let Fan Wencheng, a slave, come over.
If he had known that it was Fan Wencheng, a dog slave, he wouldn't have been killed in such a grand manner.
But now that everyone is watching, let’s get on with it, what do other people think?
Fall out directly? What would Su Polu think?
Huang Taiji was suddenly faced with a difficult decision.
Damn it, for the sake of the salary, I endured it, but sooner or later I will make you repay tenfold for Su Polu's humiliation!
"Master Fan has come a long way and is tired from traveling and traveling. Why not go to the city and take a rest."
Huang Taiji turned around and said with a smile.
Although it was for the sake of future wealth, Huang Taiji was still unwilling to be treated on an equal footing with his former slave in public.
'Forget it, I won't go in. 'Fan Wencheng hurriedly refused.
Although Fan Wencheng now knows that Jian Nu does not dare to do anything to him, he is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
When the old slave was here, he was often bullied by Mang Gurtai.
After the old slave was gone, Mang Gurtai became even more Benjili.
Now looking at Mang Gurtai's eyes that wanted to eat him, Fan Wencheng's legs couldn't help but tremble.
"I'm safe, at least outside the city. Jiannu doesn't dare to do anything to himself." Fan Wencheng comforted himself.
"Master Su has an order. From now on, Houjin must provide Su Polu with 20,000 taels of silver, 2,000 jins of iron ore, 1,000 jins of coal, 1,000 war horses, 300 beauties, and fine mink skins every month. 1,000 pieces, wild ginseng..."
"Fan Wencheng, you slave dog, who gave you the courage to act so arrogantly in front of your master?"
Mang Gurtai on the side couldn't bear it anymore and broke away from Huang Taiji's hand, pointed at Fan Wencheng and cursed.
Submission? Doesn't it mean that Hou Jin is inferior to that bastard Su Polu?
I just took advantage of Hou Jin a few times, and I really treated myself like a green onion.
