Chapter 1487 Dorgon's scruples
Dorgon's idea was very good, but unfortunately the reality was very cruel. Zhao Hongyu could not follow his vision, so Dorgon's small plot eventually went bankrupt.
When Zhao Hongyu led his army to close the border of Goryeo and the vanguard had already begun to confront the Eight Banners Army led by Dorgon and others, Dorgon understood that he could not hide this time.
Yes, I just can't hide.
On the east side of them were the Goryeo people on the defensive, and the eight banner elites have been fighting until now, and they are a little tired and need to rest.
The army led by Zhao Hongyu also exceeded 100,000 people, and it was as powerful as a rainbow.
Especially Dorgon knew that they did not have any geographical advantages now.
After all, the areas where the two sides are going to fight belong to the Goryeo.
Although the 150,000 Eight Banners army captured half of the territory of the Goryeo Kingdom, these territory were not so stable. Some small forces of Goryeo resisting were still causing harassment to the Eight Banners army.
Under such circumstances, Dorgon had to call back the scattered troops and shrink all the power in his hands to prepare for a decisive battle with the imperial team led by Zhao Hongyu.
After all, a decisive battle is inevitable, which is related to the life and death of the last Eight Banner elites. Therefore, Dorgon had to do his best to ensure that his army was in the strongest state.
As long as he could defeat the Imperial Army, Dorgon believed that he could get a breather and rest with the territory occupied by the Goryeo Kingdom.
Just give him some time and the crisis will pass.
But Dorgon didn't understand what kind of opponent he was facing.
Therefore, his thoughts are destined to be shattered.
But no matter what, Dorgon is still trying his best to shrink his army at this moment.
"The vanguard led by Daishan has arrived at the place where our army is stationed, and it doesn't seem like it's about to attack soon. So should we take the initiative to attack now and give Daishan some strength?"
In the military camp where Dorgon belonged, according to the spies, Dorgon summoned a group of noble governors to discuss solutions.
At this time, Dorgon's status clearly determined the commanding position of all of him.
And sitting beside Dorgon was his younger brother Duoduo.
The strength that the two brothers can now be said to have is the strongest among these people.
Therefore, the two brothers sat in a more conspicuous position, and at first glance they were in charge of the position.
Among the 150,000 troops that the two brothers could directly control were 50,000. Among them, the troops controlled by the slaves under their command had a total of more than 30,000.
By doing this, it means that more than half of the troops can be ordered by the two brothers.
Therefore, of course, the nobles and governors below will not have any objections to the current affairs of their brothers.
After all, the strength of the other two brothers is there.
At the same time, they also received news from Shengjing.
Huang Taiji was dead. The entire Later Jin Kingdom no longer existed.
It can be said that the last military force of the Later Jin Dynasty was the ones.
Therefore, in this case, they do need one person to stand up and lead everyone to find a way out.
Then, Dorgon obviously is the person in charge.
If it were someone else, everyone wouldn't be convinced.
But Dorgon is different. Whether it is his identity or status, or even the army he reaches out, it makes people have nothing to say.
Therefore, after the Later Jin Dynasty was destroyed by Zhao Hongyu, Dorgon became the person in charge of this 150,000 Eight Banners Army.
Of course, Dorgon did not refuse this. After all, under the current situation, it is not the time to be polite.
"Daishan, this bastard, actually betrayed my Hou Jin and his father! I declare that Daishan does not belong to our Aisin Gioro family!"
When Dai Shan mentioned, a hideous expression of hatred appeared on Dorgon's face.
Not only Dorgon, but also Duoduo, the other nobles and governors, most of them also showed resentment and gritting teeth.
It can be seen that the fact that Dai Shan surrendered to the Song people and turned around and led his army to attack his own people made Dorgon and the others really hated him to the extreme.
Of course, most people will have this reaction to traitors.
Especially if the traitor is still a high-ranking person, it will make people even more angry.
"Fourteen Beller, it's not that at this time. Dai Shan has led an army of 60,000 to reach our army thirty miles away. We have to think about how to defeat him."
There was a white flag below who stood up at this time and reminded Dorgon to consider the important matter at this time, rather than gritting his teeth.
Dorgon nodded: "Okay, everyone, let me say what you think. Now we are all people on the same boat. If this battle is defeated, I think you will know the ending."
After hearing Dorgon's words, everyone calmed down.
Yes, just like Dorgon said, if they are defeated, then everyone will certainly know the ending.
As a loser, you can encounter any kind of thing.
Some people even think of the evil things they did when they invaded the Ming Dynasty to conquer cities and land.
Therefore, many people shivered.
Killing others is certainly good, but it is obvious that this kind of thing will not make people so happy when it comes to your own turn.
Then, if they are defeated by Daishan or the Song people, the outcome of these people will definitely be bad.
The Song people are different from the Ming people, and everyone knows this very well.
Many of the people here have fought with the Song people, and they know that the most things the Song people did after defeating the Eight Banners Army was massacre.
Yes, it is not ruthless to kill, and it is no different from the ones that the Eight Banners Army has done.
"The Daishan army has not yet established a stable foothold. I think it can steal the camp in the middle of the night, and maybe it can be effective."
Duoduo, who was sitting in Dorgon's lower left hand, turned his eyes and suggested.
Since the arrogant Nurhaci, these people from the Later Jin Dynasty learned a lot from the Central Plains, especially various military tactics, they liked the most. Even in their spare time, they liked to read books such as "The Three Kingdoms".
But most of these people read military books. They disdained the rest of the Ming Dynasty.
For example, Dai Shan, as a striker, set up camp thirty miles away. Obviously, his team must be very tired.
Moreover, they cannot be familiar with the environment here than Dorgon and others. After all, Dorgon and others have fought a lot of battles in Goryeo.
Therefore, when it comes to familiarizing yourself with the environment, you must be better than Dai Shanlai.
Then, Duoduo's proposal is not unfeasible.
Dorgon narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this. He quickly concluded how feasible his brother's proposal was.
Moreover, Dorgon also knew a little about the Manchu troops controlled by Daishan.
It was just the old and weak who Huang Taiji had just pieced together. In terms of combat effectiveness, it was impossible to be the same as the elite of the Eight Banners under his command.
In fact, what made Dorgon and others feel threatened and feared were the 30,000 elite Song people led by Zhao Hongyu, as well as the 30,000 Japanese soldiers from Jiuzhou who had super strong fighting will.
However, because Zhao Hongyu wanted to control Shengjing, he left behind 10,000 elite imperial army and 10,000 Japanese soldiers in Jiuzhou stationed to cooperate with some troops from Mongolia.
Therefore, Zhao Hong has some elite troops on hand.
However, even so, its combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.
This is very clear to people like Dorgon who have suffered great losses in the Imperial Army.
They were afraid of fighting with the Imperial Army, after all, they suffered too many losses. However, Dorgon and others were not so afraid of the troops led by Daishan.
Both teams are of the same clan and are also well-known.
What's more, the troops under his command are the elite among the Eight Banners.
Therefore, we must be stronger than the more than 60,000 elderly and weak people led by Dai Shan.
"Where is the elite troops of the Song people now?"
After thinking for a while, Dorgon did not immediately decide whether to implement Duoduo's proposal, but asked no one to know where the elite troops of the Song Empire led by Zhao Hongyu have been.
Since Daishan's army is a vanguard, it is certainly the fastest.
In other words, the elite imperial army led by Zhao Hongyu is still a distance away from Daishan.
If we could know that the elite troops of the Song people could not reach the position of the Daishan tribe in a short period of time, then the feasibility of Duoduo's proposal would have been greatly improved.
In other words, if you want to implement Duoduo's proposal, the first thing you are concerned about is the location of the elite Song people.
Upon hearing this, Duoduo quickly understood what his brother meant, then turned around and glanced at him.
The head-in-chief burned charcoal and felt Duoduo's gaze, then stood up and replied.
"I have not received any news about this, but the spy has been sent out. As long as there is news, I will report it."
Dorgon couldn't help but feel disappointed with this answer.
Because for him, the main elite of the Song people was the one who was most concerned about.
As for Daishanbu, hehe, in his eyes, he was just a group of mobs.
"If there was no news about the main force of the Song people before dark, I don't have to think about your proposal." Dorgon looked at his younger brother Duoduo and said. After saying that, he looked at everyone again: "So, outside of the night attack, do you have any other suggestions?"
Everyone could see that Dorgon was actually very moved by Dodode's proposal.
He was just worried that he had not grasped the movements of the elite troops of the Song people, so he could not make up his mind yet.
But one thing is certain, that is, Dorgon is very inclined to deal with the troops of Daishan, a great traitor of the Later Jin Dynasty, before the elite troops of the Song people arrived.
So, when Dorgon finished speaking, everyone began to think... (To be continued...)
