Dorgon turned around to look, only to find that it was Azig who finally arrived leading the rear army. Along with it came carts of grain and grass. There were so many grain trucks that the road stretched for a long time.
Seeing so many grain trucks coming, the Jianlu soldiers naturally cheered, making it lively.
But only Dorgon himself knew that many of the many grain trucks were fake and not grain at all. But it was a last resort to boost morale.
Duduo, Haoge and Yuetuo knew this. Otherwise, if they heard so many grain trucks coming and these three people came to ask Dorgon for grain, their secret would be revealed.
Not long after, Dorgon met Azige in the central military tent, who came to pay the order, and three people who came after hearing the news.
Azig told Dorgon that the food supply was 20% less than expected.
After hearing this, Hauge immediately became furious. He didn't care that Azig was his uncle: "Why is it so much less than 20%? Did you secretly hide the food?"
Yue Tuo and Duo Duo are also very concerned about this matter. After all, food is too important to the Qing Dynasty.
When Azig heard this, he immediately became angry and shouted loudly: "Why should I hide food? Do I deserve it?"
However, an explanation is still needed. He then turned to look at Dorgon and said: "The farther north the food matures, the later it matures. If it is harvested early, the yield will naturally not be high. And he is familiar with farming." All the Han slaves were transferred to Kong Youde's side, and the grain fields in other places were not as productive as the original Han slaves. After this, I can always say that the 20% less is in Shaoli!"
After hearing this, Hauge immediately lost his temper.
The Han people are famous for taking care of their fields. It seems natural that other ethnic groups cannot compare with the Han people, and their output is lower.
Seeing this, Dorgon acted as a peacemaker and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! The Han slaves who are familiar with farming are all on the side of King Gongshun. If the king's prediction is good, the output on his side should be higher than expected. It's much higher. This time, I can make up for the shortfall. At most, I just ask him to bring more luck!"
What else can we do? This is the only way to do it!
Next, they began to discuss the matter of dividing the food.
Outside the tent, all Jianlu were in high spirits. The reinforcements of the Qing Dynasty have arrived again, and their strength is even stronger. With so many grain trucks, wouldn't it be extremely easy to deal with the Ming army in Yaozhou Station?
The movement on Jianlu's side was naturally seen on the top of Yaozhouyi's city wall. In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen just said lightly: "The more Jianlu people come, the faster they will die. Let them be happy!"
Having said this, he turned to look at the generals and said: "But in order to prevent the counterattack of Jianlu before his death, can the defense line of the generals be built firmly?"
As soon as the Ming army withdrew to Yaozhouyi, the first thing they did was to build fortifications. Therefore, after Emperor Chongzhen asked this question, all the generals immediately replied with confidence: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I'm afraid that Jianlu will not dare to attack!"
The Ming army has always been famous for its good defense. And now Yaozhouyi's army is the most elite army in the Ming Dynasty. Even if they go to fight with Jianlu in the field, they are not afraid. They are naturally more confident in defensive battles.
Furthermore, there are many Jianlu on the opposite side, but they range from fifteen to fifty years old. In addition, there are also a large number of foreigners, such as Mongols. With this kind of force, it is simply impossible to defeat them. It cannot be compared with the elite level of Jianlu before.
It is said that soldiers are more valuable than more. Based on the current comparison of military strength between the two sides, no Ming army general is afraid of building captives. In fact, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were also unhurried, not because they knew Emperor Chongzhen's strategy, but because of their trust in their own fighting power, and of course, their trust in the wise and powerful emperor.
Therefore, after answering Emperor Chongzhen's questions, all the generals laughed at the moment when Jianlu became stupid.
Outside the city, fearing the pressure of the Ming army to break through, Jianlu was really willing to risk his life. For such heavy work as physical labor, the food supply was sufficient, otherwise there would be no energy to build fortifications. Within a few days, a deep trench was dug and two walls were built to completely surround Yaozhou Station.
All the Jianlu breathed a sigh of relief and happily waited for the Ming army in Yaozhouyi to finish eating the food, eat the bark, eat the bark, eat the horses, eat the people, and finally surrender.
However, the bad feeling in Dorgon's heart became more and more serious. For this reason, he repeatedly confirmed whether there was anything going on with the detective horse he released.
However, the reward for exploring the horse was that not even Lu Xiangsheng's headquarters in Gaizhou made any movement, and showed no sign of reinforcements.
This situation confused Dorgon and made him feel even worse.
In this regard, Duduo comforted him and said: "The Ming army probably saw that our army was heavily guarded, so they did not dare to break through. They were waiting for our army to relax its defense!"
"But why didn't the Ming army show any movement at all? Instead, they built fortifications before us, as if they were afraid of our army's attack?" After hearing this, Dorgon was still puzzled and asked, "Could it be that the Ming army couldn't see it? Come out, our army is going to trap the enemy, isn't it to attack?"
This is indeed an abnormality, but Dodo still had something to say: "The Dog Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is so cunning. Maybe this is his way of confusing us? He made a gesture as if he wanted to stick to it, but in fact, he The idea of a breakout will somewhat increase the suddenness of the breakout, right?"
After hearing this, Dorgon seemed to think it made sense. However, there were many problems in the Qing Dynasty. The most important thing was one thing, so he still said with worry, "But what about the food and fodder of our army? I will obey the king." The food on the border has to be dealt with by the Qing Dynasty for the winter. Even if the Ming Emperor is captured and can be exchanged for food from the Ming Dynasty, there will still be a period of waiting, and all the food in the Qing Dynasty has been used for this. Fight!"
After hearing this, Duduo could not help but be silent for a moment, and then comforted: "It's okay. I have been fighting with this Ming army for a long time. I can calculate that this Ming army will not have much food. If I am not wrong, they They will definitely run out of food before us!"
Hearing this, Dorgon couldn't help but feel a lot of relief, and could only hope that this was the case.
However, the truth of the matter is that since Emperor Chongzhen decided to use this strategy, how could he forget such an important thing? He had contacted Lu Xiangsheng a long time ago and asked Lu Xiangsheng to transport grain and hide it in Yaozhouyi. Duduo would naturally not know about these grains in Haizhou.
However, seeing that the Ming army in Yaozhouyi showed no signs of panic, Yue Tuo, who was attentive, became a little suspicious. On this day, during their discussion, he raised this issue.
To this, Duduo replied to him: "Think about it for yourself, how much supplies this Ming army brought with them when they fought with us in Haizhou, do you have a certain number? How many days have passed, how many people have eaten? Horses chew it, maybe they will run out of food soon. The reason why you can see that the Ming army does not seem to be panicking is probably because the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty deliberately let you see it, so that you can relax. When you relax your defenses, That’s when the Ming army breaks through!”
"Yes, this Ming army will definitely not have too much food." After hearing this, Hauge echoed Duduo's words, "With so many sidecars, how much food can be left?"
After hearing this, Yue Tuo thought about it carefully for a while, and seemed to feel that this Ming army would indeed not have much food. So, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Okay, then let all your subordinates be on guard. The closer we are to success, the more we cannot relax! Just wait for the day when the Ming army is hungry!"
Hearing this, the slave chiefs in the Zhongjun tent all laughed.
They are all people who have been on the battlefield for a long time, especially Yue Tuo, Duo Duo and Haoge who have been fighting with the Ming army in Haizhou for a long time. They have a deep understanding of the elite of the Ming army. It would be best if we could trap the Ming army's tiger to death and easily defeat it.
But at this moment, rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside the tent. Later, one of Dorgon's personal guards supported a messenger and broke into the Chinese army's tent without even announcing the news.
Dorgon and others heard the sound and looked around, and found that the messenger was an urgent messenger from Eight Hundred Miles. Suddenly, a bad feeling arose in each of their hearts. Could it be that the dog emperor of the Ming Dynasty came out?
I don’t know when the Qing Dynasty’s eight-hundred-mile expedited service started, and every time it was not good news. At least they were very impressed. The late emperor was so angry that he vomited blood many times because of these eight hundred miles.
The smile that appeared on Dorgon's face immediately disappeared. He couldn't even sit still. He immediately stood up and asked, "Is there something wrong in Shengjing?"
At this time, there was no other place besides Shengjing that the yellow mantle could rush eight hundred miles away.
The messenger was too tired to speak. Dorgon's personal guard replied on his behalf: "Kong Youde betrayed the Qing Dynasty and colluded with the Ming army. The Liaohe granary has fallen into the hands of the Ming army!"
These words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting the heads of the slave chiefs in the Chinese military tent, making them all look like stars, feeling like the sky was about to fall and the end was coming.
Dorgon's body swayed and he almost stopped standing. When he came back to his senses, he immediately rushed to the courier with a ferocious face to grab an urgent report. In his haste, his handsome case was overturned, and he didn't care.
Dorgon grabbed the emergency report and after reading it for a few times, Dorgon was stunned and completely stupid.
The urgent report is correct, it was sent by Bumbutai, then it is true.
However, Dorgon really hoped that this emergency report was false. The granary of the Qing Dynasty, which had high hopes, was used to sustain the Qing Dynasty. So much grain was sold to the Ming army by Kong Youde!
Recalling that at the beginning of the year, Kong Youde suddenly became active and took the initiative to petition, asking for the mobilization of young and strong Han slaves from all over the country to open up wasteland and farm in the Liaohe River. Now thinking about it, he should have already made plans at that time to deal with the big problem. Qing uses such a vicious tactic to draw out the salary from under the cauldron!
After understanding this, Dorgon immediately understood why the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty led the army to attack Haizhou. Before, he could clearly conquer Haizhou but kept delaying the attack.
At the beginning, I thought that the Ming Emperor did not want too many casualties. But now that I think about it, if he was about to capture Haizhou, how could he delay the opportunity until the Qing reinforcements arrived? If he was really such a stupid person, how could he become his prisoner, and how could the late emperor be angered to death by him!
Also, when the Ming army returned to Yaozhou Post, they did not plan to break out and continue to escape to the safer Gaizhou. Instead, they built fortifications here at Yaozhou Post. This was entirely because the Ming emperor was waiting for him to lead the army. Come to a decisive battle so that the traitor Kong Youde can do his best and completely cut off the Qing Dynasty's retreat!
At this time, Dorgon's mind became very clear, and he connected all the things. There was a reasonable explanation for the Ming army's anomalies, and he also found the reason for the bad feeling in his heart. .
However, understanding all this made him realize that he had long fallen into the scheme of the Ming Emperor, and the Qing Dynasty was about to fall!
What a pity. I originally thought that this decisive battle could easily destroy the Ming Emperor and his main force, but I didn't expect that the real reality was that the Ming Emperor easily tricked the Qing Dynasty to death! If the Qing army’s combat power failed to be fully utilized once again, would it be doomed?
Thinking of this, Dorgon was very desperate and unwilling. He subconsciously roared angrily at this situation: "No..."
When he roared like this, the other slave chiefs immediately came back to their senses and immediately understood that the news from the eight hundred miles urgent messenger must be true.
Just like Dorgon, after confirming that the news was true, the other slave chiefs immediately despaired.
If there is no food and grass in a war, no matter how powerful the military is, it will fall apart one day.
For some reason, Yue Tuo immediately remembered the Ming Army's Battle of Tumu Fort.
At that time, not to mention how elite the Ming army was, the soldiers were soldiers who had fought a hundred battles, the generals were people who were good at conquering and fighting, and the number of troops was far greater than that of the enemy. But even such an army, because there was no food supply, was eventually defeated by Mongolia and was completely wiped out. It had no power to fight back.
At this moment, in front of Yue Tuo's eyes, he seemed to see the Qing army in the near future, which would end exactly the same as the Ming army!
It's over, it's over, the Qing Dynasty is over! No matter how good Yue Tuo was, he never expected that the defeat of the Qing Dynasty would not be caused by the Ming army attacking step by step and finally capturing Shengjing, but by the Qing Dynasty itself sending troops from all over the country to seek death right here in Yaozhou Station!
"Damn Dorgon, you pig!" Suddenly, Hauge roared loudly at Dorgon, "You have tricked the Qing Dynasty, are you a traitor of the Ming Dynasty?"
If Dorgon hadn't mobilized the country's troops and had to come to Haizhou to fight the Ming army, the Qing Dynasty would never have been defeated like this. It would still have the strength. Even if it couldn't stop the Ming army's attack, it could still deal with the Ming army. Go down. It would be better now, it would be like bringing the fat meat of the Qing Dynasty to the mouth of the Ming Dynasty emperor and letting him eat it.
