Chapter 553 Two-pronged approach!
~~~~~~
Different from Li Yuanqing's comfortable, comfortable and emotional atmosphere, at this time, the atmosphere in the old slave's tent was terrifyingly silent.
Although I barely slept last night, I got up early this morning.
At this level, how can he still care about whether these post-Jin princes and dignitaries have a good rest?
Especially after hearing the quartermaster's report, he immediately summoned a group of princes and dignitaries to discuss the matter.
Last night, the attack that was bound to win was easily resolved by Li Yuanqing's fire. At this time, these late Jin princes and dignitaries also became silent.
Although several big Baylors have temporarily abandoned their prejudices and want to deal with Li Yuanqing together, they do not have much to do in the face of the airtight and impregnable Haizhou City.
At this time, looking at the old slave's face like a green-haired zombie, who dares to talk too much without being polite?
Except for the crackling sound of the large tent overhead being hit by fine raindrops, everyone in the tent did not even dare to breathe for fear of touching the old slave's brow.
The old slave looked at the familiar faces in the tent, and his heart was extremely complicated.
His warriors were not ungrateful, nor were they ungrateful, but Li Yuanqing was too cunning.
Facing the powerful firearms of the Changsheng Camp, they didn't have many good options. Coupled with the fire in the rain last night, this was simply...
However, the old slave knows very well that no matter how difficult it is, things must be faced.
Li Yuanqing is strong, but as long as he can get rid of Li Yuanqing, who else in the Ming army can face the sharpness of the Golden Warriors?
"Let's talk about it. It doesn't matter if you are wrong. How should we break the city? According to the quartermaster's report this morning, our food and grass can no longer last for less than a month."
The old slave's tone was very soft, and his eyes were much gentler, scanning the faces of everyone present one by one.
"Ah? How could this happen? Didn't we seize a lot of cattle and sheep in Mongolia?"
"We are in such a hurry, how can those cattle and sheep go so fast? It's so hot now, I'm afraid, within a month or two, those cattle and sheep won't be able to get through at all."
"Then, what should we do now? Are we going to fight Li Yuanqing to the death?"
"What can you do if you don't fight hard? Can you expect Li Yuanqing to stick out his neck and chop it for you?"
"..."
Seeing that the conversation in the tent was starting to get heated, the old slave couldn't help but feel even more irritated. He had finally lost control of his suppressed mood, and couldn't help shouting: "That's enough! You guys!"
Isn’t it chaotic enough?”
Everyone was shocked and didn't dare to say another word.
The old slave tried his best to force himself to calm down, "Li Yuanqing has become powerful. Even if you argue, you can't solve any problems. Now, we must work together to find a way to eliminate Li Yuanqing and eliminate this henchman in the shortest possible time.
Big trouble!"
Daishan gritted his teeth and said: "Khan Ama, princes and princes, Li Yuanqing is in a disadvantaged position, and his firearms are extremely sharp. It would be unwise for us to attack by force. If we want to break Haizhou City, we can only rely on outsmarting him.
"
"Outwit? Second brother, how should we outwit him?" Amin looked at Dai Shandao.
Daishan frowned a little. Could it be that Amin's irritation was about to happen again? But at this moment, he could only endure his temper and patiently explained: "I don't have any good solution now. Let's work together to find a solution."
Huh! It’s probably going to rain these days, and there is so much water in Haizhou City. Maybe we can think of more ways in this regard."
Mang Gurtai said: "Second brother is right. We must make good use of the rain these days. I have a hunch that this will be our best opportunity."
Yue Tuo also said: "Perhaps, we can try to attack from the east side. Build up the water and break down the east city gate. As long as we break the city gate, we will have a greater chance."
Du Du shook his head, "It's inappropriate. Even if the city gate is broken, Li Yuanqing's firearms are still sharp. Even if it rains, it's still not safe for him to have such a big fire."
In the past few years, Du Du had matured a lot in the face of Li Yuanqing's successive defeats, and he became more stable when making plans at this time.
After a moment, Du Du said again: "Li Yuanqing is too cunning. If we want to break Haizhou City, we have to go back to this basic and must be outsmarted. It is best to use the least amount of troops to achieve the best effect.
Over the years, we have lost too many warriors from Li Yuanqing. We can no longer bear this kind of consumption."
Everyone couldn't help but nod in deep understanding.
At this point, they feel the same way.
From the first year of Tianqi to the present day, among the Eight Banners of Dajin, which one has not lost the life of a warrior to Li Yuanqing?
Especially Dudu and Amin, they all learned bloody lessons.
Amin said: "If that doesn't work, we will try to recruit him again. We might as well raise the stakes even more. So what if we give him Conggu Lun? As long as Li Yuanqing is willing to submit, we won't worry about not having a way to kill him."
Daishan and Mang Gurtai both nodded.
The princesses of the Later Jin Dynasty, including those of the later Manchu Qing Dynasty, had always been preparing for marriage to Mongolia.
But at this time, Li Yuanqing was obviously more valuable than these Mongolian mud legs.
Cong Gulun's marriage to Li Yuanqing was not considered a grievance. To a large extent, it was considered a well-matched match.
Dai Shan said: "Khan Ama, this tactic is indeed a clever one. Even if Li Yuanqing refuses to submit, we can use this tactic to hold him back and paralyze him. No matter how cunning Li Yuanqing is, Haizhou is an isolated city after all. As long as time lasts,
Yes, there will always be a time when we can capture him!"
Mang Gurtai also said: "When things come to this, we can only deal with it slowly. Let's trap Li Yuanqing to death first, and then we can slowly think of a way. This man can be considered a talent, so it is a pity to kill him like this."
"
All the princes and dignitaries supported the proposal one after another.
For them, as long as they can stabilize or even destroy Li Yuanqing, what does it mean to be a mere princess?
Listening to the discussion of everyone in the venue, the old slave's mood was mixed.
Cong Gulun was his youngest daughter. He was already quite old, so naturally he didn't want to let his beloved youngest daughter leave his side or marry his life-and-death enemy Li Yuanqing.
But in this situation, other than this plan, there seems to be no other good choice.
Just when the old slave was about to make a decision and settle the matter, Tan Bai, who was at the end of the crowd, suddenly said: "Great Khan, princes, I have a plan to defeat Li Yuanqing."
In this military meeting, only dignitaries above Lazhangjing of Hou Jinjia were eligible to participate.
However, because of his relationship with his father Adun, who was considered a noble person, Tan Bai deliberately requested Daishan that he also attend this meeting.
Daishan didn't want to offend a truly capable emerging force like Tan Bai, so he nodded and accepted the matter.
But Daishan didn't expect that Tan Bai would dare to talk nonsense at this time, and said hurriedly: "Tan Bai, have you thought about this?"
Tan Bai hurriedly got out of the queue and knelt down and said: "Back to the second master, I have already thought about it. This plan of mine does not conflict with yours, but can be used on both sides."
Everyone saw that Tan Bai was orderly and without any panic, and they began to accept him somewhat.
Amin said hurriedly: "Tan Bai, what are your plans? Tell me quickly."
There was also a glint in the old slave's eyes, "Tan Bai, tell me what you think."
Tan Bai was overjoyed and kowtowed respectfully to the old slave. He thought carefully for a moment and then said: "Great Khan, princes, this slave has to do tricks on the water. This time on the expedition to Mongolia, there is one thing.
I have given some thought to my humble position."
He deliberately put it off, and sure enough, everyone's attention was quickly drawn to him.
Tan Bai smiled faintly and said calmly: "I see that the Mongolian war horses and livestock drink water very neatly. I will never let the urine or feces of the horses and livestock into the river."
Amin couldn't help but said: "Tan Bai, this is common sense. What's the point? Mongolians have few rivers, and every bit of water is very precious. It is a gift from the Immortal God. How dare they desecrate Immortality?"
A gift from God?”
The Mongols are purely herding, nomadic, and pure grassland people. Although they can also fish, fishing only accounts for a very small part of their lives.
The Jurchens, on the other hand, started out as fishermen and hunters, and gradually turned to farming and herding. They also believed in the Immortal Heaven, but they were never as pious as the Mongols.
To a certain extent, the Jurchens have some similarities with the Han people. They are very good at learning, learning from the strengths of others and learning from each other's strengths.
But after Amin finished speaking, he suddenly understood what Tan Bai meant. He couldn't help but look at Tan Bai fiercely, "Tan Bai, you, you want to..."
Tan Bai smiled calmly, "Second Master, your guess is not wrong. I really want to do something in the river in Haizhou City. We can wrap the horse dung, cow dung, and sheep dung that accompany the army in sand bags."
, put it into the river upstream on the east side. Although it is raining now, it is still very hot. Li Yuanqing is not a god, and the demand for water in the city must be great. Although these livestock excrements will not kill people like Li Yuanqing directly,
It shouldn’t be a big problem affecting their combat effectiveness.”
Tan Bai said, his eyes suddenly sharp: "Although I have never met Li Yuanqing, I know him very well. According to the information from the Ming Dynasty, Li Yuanqing already had dozens of wives and concubines, and he had sex with his daughters every day.
.I heard that he also recruited an oiran into his account. He even didn’t let go of the ghost girl who was as black as coal. I thought that he would never refuse to marry our little princess to Li Yuanqing.”
"In this way, we will use a two-pronged approach to slowly delay time. When little Princess comes to Haizhou City and gets married to Li Yuanqing, that's when our army will take action! We will attack Haizhou City in one go and kill Li Yuanqing!"
As Tan Bai spoke, he suddenly waved his fist and slammed it on the gold carpet on the ground. But after a moment, he realized what the occasion was.
He hurriedly kowtowed to the old slave: "Great Khan, I am too excited. Please forgive me, Great Khan."
At this time, the old slave was also moved by what Tan Bai said, and his cloudy eyes flashed with light.
After a moment, he laughed loudly and said: "Tan Bai, please get up. Very good, very good. He is worthy of being Adun's son. However, if Li Yuanqing agrees to the marriage, we will still take action when the time comes. How can we do it?"
Aren't you being taken advantage of?"
Tan Bai chuckled, obviously he had already planned it, "Khan, don't worry about this. As long as he can kill Li Yuanqing, how can he still talk?"
How could the old slave and the surrounding princes and dignitaries not understand what Tan Bai meant?
As long as Li Yuanqing is removed, it doesn't all depend on their mood, no matter what they want to say?
Dai Shan said hurriedly: "Khan Ama, Tan Bai, this plan is feasible."
Amin and Mang Gurtai also hurriedly said: "Khan Ama, this plan is feasible!"
Yue Tuo, Du Du and other dignitaries also seconded the proposal.
The old slave slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and after a moment, he suddenly smiled and said, "Tan Baiguan was promoted to a higher level, and he received a reward of a thousand taels and a yellow mantle. Someone, call Hong Qiang!"
