The Tartars on the north bank have been fried, and Huang Taiji is even more ill. As a result, even if he wants to peel off the skin and cramp, he has to press down temporarily.


    After all, once he fell, no one except Dourgen was enough to take on the big responsibility and preside over the overall situation.


    At this time, in the big tent, Huang Taiji was lying on the couch with a pale face, while dorgun knelt aside to explain his experience of going south.


    Wu Keshan on the edge would nod from time to time and insert two sentences.


    Obviously, a group of Mongolian leaders, Wu Keshan, escaped back. It''s said that this guy''s life was really big. Because the pontoon was not far from the river when it was burned, Dourgen sent a boat to rescue him in time after he fell into the water.


    After listening to their reports, Huang Taiji was speechless for a long time. Although the losses were all Mongolian cavalry and Han soldiers, the real loss of the elite of the Eight Banners could be ignored, but he could pay such a big price, which was too far from what he had imagined.


    So I can''t accept it for the moment.


    When he first sent troops south, he considered that he would suffer heavy losses, so he only sent 5800 elite banners south, and all the others were Mongolian cavalry and Han soldiers.


    I just hope dorgun can kill in Kaifeng and grab some food back. The best situation is to fight with the third and first Legion. In this way, even if the regiment going south runs out, it is worth it.


    Who would have thought that the whole 150000 troops did not do anything, but only came back in their early twenties, and 100000 Mongolian cavalry, except for more than 10000 from the Horqin department, all the others were explained on the south bank.


    Even with Wu Sangui''s 20000 guanning cavalry, there are still about 100000 cavalry and nearly 200000 infantry on the north bank, but he knows that their chances of winning are very small.


    Because the army has only one and a half months of food and grass, it is undoubtedly a way of death to divide troops south. It is not advisable to continue to attack the Second Corps. He wants to fight a decisive battle, but the Qin army is willing.


    From the news from the south bank these days, he knew that Qin Huan would not cross the river in a short time.


    "Hong Aiqing, now the situation is very unfavorable to our army. What else can you do?"


    Huang Taiji actually planned to retreat. Finally, if there was nothing to do, he would go back to the northeast, but he was really unwilling, so he looked at Hong Chengchou and hoped that he could think of another way.


    As the saying goes, a skillful woman can''t cook without rice. Hong Chengchou can''t change food out of thin air. The whole North has long been rotten and can''t be scraped. It''s a long way to transport food from the northeast, which consumes a lot. So where is a good way?


    But what is a counselor?


    In any case, there must be a way, so he pondered for a long time and said slowly: "Your Majesty, now the strategy of dividing troops to the South has failed, and the two armies are in a stalemate. Qin Huan obviously wants to rely on his strong national strength to drag our army to withdraw and win without war. This is the highest level of military art. The soldiers who subdue people without war, so unless with the help of external forces, Otherwise, I''m afraid we''ll have to retreat. "


    "Oh? With the help of external forces? " As soon as Huang Taiji''s eyes brightened, he forced his mount under the service of the eunuch, and everyone seemed to be in some spirit.


    After all, he also knew that once he chose to retreat, he might have to retreat to the northeast. The Eight Banners there would not have a chance to enter the Central Plains, and even the final outcome could not be predicted.


    Because the great Qin Dynasty is no better than the great Ming Dynasty, he, who is familiar with the history of the Han people, naturally understands what any newly established Han Dynasty will mean to the surrounding ethnic groups and small countries once the world is unified and firmly established.


    So even if there is a chance, he is willing to gamble on the national fortune of the eight banners and fight with the other party, rather than retreat.


    "Emperor, although Chuang Jun''s energy is mainly focused on Sichuan, it should still be able to gather up more than 200000 troops in the northwest and Shanxi. If Chuang Jun is willing to attack Tongguan, our army will send cavalry to bypass Henan government for assistance. The two armies will unite, and the chance of winning is still great." Hong Chengchou said slowly.


    "Well, if Chuang Wang is willing to join hands, I can send another 50000 cavalry south, but I''m afraid he won''t agree!" Huang Taiji nodded, and then he was worried.


    "The emperor can rest assured that the Chuang king may not have agreed to join hands before, but now it''s hard to say. After all, once our army returns to the northeast, the Qin army is afraid to turn around and clean him up immediately. At that time, Chuang army has not won Sichuan and is under attack from both sides. The outcome can be imagined."


    "Good! As long as he Li Chuang agrees to join hands and defeat the Qin army, I can share the world with him. Xuzhou is the boundary in the East and Xiangyang is the boundary in the West. He owns all the Jiangnan except the Central Plains. "


    Huang Taiji patted his thigh and obviously went out of his way.


    On the same day, an envoy was sent to kill Chang''an.


    At this time, Chuang Wang really couldn''t sit still in Chang''an.


    The Qin army surrounded and annihilated more than 100000 cavalry troops of Tartars in Kaifeng house. The 150000 troops almost lost the whole army, which not only frightened Huang Taiji, but also frightened Li Zicheng and a group of storming generals.


    After all, as long as they are not fools, they all know that once the Qin army defeats the eight banners, its next goal is definitely to move westward and attack the northwest.


    Therefore, if the emissary did not agree to join hands, the Eight Banners had to return to the northeast. Li Zicheng could no longer sit still.


    Originally, he was going to wait for both sides to fight and lose. He was sitting to reap the benefits of fishermen. Who ever wanted to fight for more than a month, the two sides didn''t fight a serious war. The strength of the Qin army was not damaged at all, and the Eight Banners would not be able to support, which was greatly beyond his expectation.


    "You eight banners still have more than 100000 cavalry, nearly 200000 infantry, especially the real eight banners cavalry. Is Huang Taiji really willing to return to the Northeast?"


    Looking at the messenger under the hall, Chuang Wang Shen said, obviously some doubt whether Huang Taiji is cheating him.


    "To tell you the truth, although our eight banners lost some cavalry, we still have the strength to fight with the Qin army. However, the Qin army has always avoided the war, and our army''s grain and grass are drying up. Therefore, even if the emperor is no longer willing, he has to choose to withdraw!"


    Fan Wencheng is still the envoy this time. He didn''t hide it, but said it truthfully.


    "Oh?"


    Chuang Wang doesn''t know if he can nod. If the other party says that Huang Taiji can''t beat the Qin army and has to withdraw, he won''t believe it. But if he says that food and grass are poor and he is forced to withdraw, he believes it.


    After all, now he also realized the importance of food and grass. Last time, his 300000 army didn''t know how to lose because of poor food and grass.


    This time, the Eight Banners gathered 5.6 million infantry, and people ate horses and chewed every day. Over time, no one could afford it. The situation of Houjin was no better than them.


    Thinking of this, Chuang Wang had made up his mind, so he asked, "is Huang Taiji really willing to send 50000 cavalry to Luoyang?"


    "Yes, Chuang Wang, it''s true, but you have to provide food and grass!"


    "Good! I agree to join hands. "


    Chuang Wang got up and said with a hammer.


    The civil and military officials on both sides, although many people are reluctant to join hands with the Tartars, they also know that as far as the current situation is concerned, the best choice is to join hands with the Tartars and defeat the Qin army first.


    Otherwise, if Tartars really withdraw from the pass, according to the combat power of the Qin army, they can''t stop them alone.


    As for what to divide the world equally afterwards, it''s just talk. No one will take it seriously.
