Although Dai Shan did not question E Bi Lun, he directly dismissed the third-class commander-in-chief of the Han Army who also returned from his post and imprisoned him.
Mang Gurtai's death in battle made Daishan no longer want to take the initiative to fight.
Although the tiger-character flag soldiers and horses guarding Wuzhaiyi are not as large as the number of soldiers and horses he brought from Shengjing, it will definitely not be easy to capture Wuzhaiyi.
Once he loses his troops, he believes that Huang Taiji will never let him go easily.
When he led the two red flags to defeat the army, the last two red flags were almost wiped out. Huang Taiji used this excuse to take away his two red flags.
Now that he was no longer the banner leader, the military power in his hands was temporary. If he lost troops and generals, he suspected that Huang Taiji would use this excuse to get rid of him.
So he made up his mind that he would rather do nothing than take any risks.
For a time, the situation here in Gaizhou became strangely calm. Neither Tiger Flag nor Daishan had any intention of taking the initiative.
The news of Mang Gurtai's defeat and death was sent all the way back to Shengjing via Liaoyang, Haizhou.
After receiving the news, Huang Taiji sat on his seat with mixed emotions.
There were two secret letters placed on the table in front of him, one of which was sent by someone from Daishan, and the other was secretly sent back by someone he had placed in Daishan's army.
The contents of the two secret letters are basically the same. They both talk about Mang Gurtai's battle at Fifuzhaiyi. The only difference is that the latter letter adds more about Daishan's death in Mang Gurtai. attitude afterwards.
Huang Taiji looked back and forth between the two secret letters, but he kept thinking in his heart.
Mang Gurtai's death in battle was a good thing for him, but it may not be a good thing for Dajin.
Even though he wanted to see Mang Gurtai die on the battlefield, he didn't want Mang Gurtai to die at this time.
"Master, I have brought Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan." Obai came to report.
Huang Taiji moved his eyes away from the secret letter on the table, faced Oboi and said, "Bring the people in."
"Hey." Obai retreated.
Soon, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo were brought into the hall.
"Slave Fan Wencheng bows to the Great Khan."
"Slave, I'd rather finish my work and kowtow to the great sweat."
Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo, who were bareheaded and had a small tail on the back of their heads, knelt on the ground and asked Huang Taiji.
"Two gentlemen are here, get up quickly." Huang Taiji greeted Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo with a smile on his face.
"Thank you Khan."
Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanme agreed before getting up from the ground.
Huang Taiji looked at the two people and said, "I am so anxious to send someone to find you because something big has happened in Gaizhou. I need these two gentlemen to plan something for me."
What he said was very polite.
Hearing this, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanga looked at each other.
At this time, things in the direction of Gaizhou are only related to the Tiger Flag.
The first thought in the two people's minds was that something had happened.
"Er Beile is personally leading the troops in Gaizhou. I think there shouldn't be much problem in stabilizing Gaizhou. Could it be that Er Beile has already recaptured Fuzhou City?" Fan Wencheng said proactively.
And he tried his best to talk about the good side. At this time, only a brainless person would say the worst possible thing in his mind.
Huang Taiji's face became heavy, and he said: "Second Beile has indeed stabilized the situation in Gaizhou, but something big happened with Fifth Beile, and he lost his life because of it."
"This, this is impossible!" Fan Wencheng was shocked.
Mang Gurtai was a rare strong general in Dajin. He had been fighting in the north and south since the time of Lao Khan. He rarely suffered defeats, and many times he turned defeat into victory when the situation was unfavorable.
It is hard to believe that such a strong general died in battle suddenly.
"This is a secret letter from Gaizhou. Please circulate it to each other!" Huang Taiji handed the secret letter from Daishan to Obai who was standing aside.
Let Ao Bai pass it to Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan.
Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanme looked at the secret letter handed over by Obai, and already believed in their hearts that the matter was probably true, and that Mang Gurtai really died in Gaizhou.
After the two read the secret messages to each other, they were even more certain that Mang Gurtai had died in battle.
Based on the two people's understanding of Daishan, such a stable person would not be able to send Mang Gurtai's matter back to Shengjing without full confidence.
Through Daishan's secret letter, the two also learned how Mang Gurtai died.
The moment they read the secret letter, the two of them had only one thought in their minds: Mang Gurtai's death was not unjust at all and he deserved it.
"Currently, only Ben Khan and two gentlemen know about Mang Gurtai's death in battle. I hope the two gentlemen can keep it secret for the time being." Huang Taiji said to Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo.
"Don't worry, Great Khan, the minions will never reveal a word."
Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanme hurriedly expressed their assurances.
In fact, the two of them were still a little touched. After all, Huang Taiji told no one about such a big thing, only the two Hanchens.
Huang Taiji took back the letter that Obai got back and said: "You two gentlemen, there is no need to be nervous. The news of Mang Gurtai's death in battle cannot be kept secret for too long. What I am worried about is that the news of Mang Gurtai's death in battle Once word spreads, it will be detrimental to me, Daikin, and make the people below fearful of tiger thieves, and Daikin has to guard against this."
"Don't worry, Khan. I, Dajin, are all warriors. We will not become afraid of tiger thieves just because of one or two defeats. What's more, what happened with Five Belles was because I accidentally fell into an ambush. It's not that I, Dajin, am inferior to others. "Fan Wencheng said.
He blamed Mang Gurtai's death on himself.
If it were another member of the Jin royal family, he would definitely not say this, but Mang Gurtai was Huang Taiji's political opponent, and blaming Mang Gurtai was the right choice.
"I also believe in the warriors of Daijin, but now is an important moment for the Mongolian and Han Eight Banners. I don't want any accidents to happen during this time." Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo.
I immediately understood Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan after hearing this.
It was a lie that Huang Taiji asked them for advice. In fact, he wanted to find out the attitude of the Han people within Daikin. After all, the Tiger Character Banner was also a Han people's powerful group.
Huang Taiji was worried that the Han people within Daijin would see the Tiger-Character Banner's victories and start to gravitate towards the Tiger-Character Banner, thereby turning their backs on Daikin.
"Now the Eight Banners of the Mongolian and Han Dynasties are in full swing. Many soldiers in the Han army are vying to be the first to be a member of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. They are all gearing up to make contributions to Da Jin so as to repay the Great Khan." Fan Wencheng said.
At this time Ning Wanwo also spoke: "Not only the Han army, but many Han officials in the court also shouted that they would die for the Great Khan."
In addition to the generals of the Han Army who would be incorporated into the Eight Banners of the Han Army, some Han officials from the Jin Dynasty would also be incorporated into the Eight Banners of the Han Army.
