MTL - Number of People-Chapter 2636 Guizi scroll is desperate, how can I make a living?

  Chapter 2636 Guizi Scroll is desperate, how do you make a living?

  The flames of war are still burning on the land of Liaodong.

  It took only two days for Liu Dongyang to capture Tieling Acropolis.

   In other words, the Jianzhou Army has lost its belief in defending the city. At least Liu Dongyang feels that the Jianzhou Army has voluntarily withdrawn from the Tieling Acropolis before launching a full-scale offensive.

  Because the evacuation was too fast, Liu Dongyang was not able to intercept too many Jianzhou soldiers, and the number of captured Jianzhou soldiers was only more than 2,000, which also made Liu Dongyang very dissatisfied.

Going north from Tieling Weicheng, in Zhonggu City, the Jianzhou Army finally organized a decent blocking battle. An Fei Yanggu personally led more than 12,000 Jianzhou Army to defend Zhonggu City. After five days of **** battle in Gucheng, An Fei Yanggu finally had to withdraw from Zhonggu City and return to Anlezhou City.

In this battle, Zhou’s army lost a lot. You Shilu’s Jizhen Army suffered more than 4,000 casualties, and Liu Dongyang’s Liaodong Army also suffered more than 5,000 casualties. There are only more than 4,000 people left, and the loss is equally huge.

  As the fierce battle in Zhonggu City unfolded, the atmosphere in Anlezhou City became more and more tense.

Nurhachi's heart is also complicated. Whether Anfei Yanggu can stop the Zhou army in Zhonggu City is actually of little significance. You can also take Songshan Fort and Jing'an Fort from the south to reach the city of Anlezhou, and you can also take the Qingyun Fort in the north and cross the Mazong River to attack Anlezhou.

  Zhonggu City is not the only main route. As long as the Zhou army continues to gather troops, they can attack Anle Prefecture from any direction.

  Stay or go?

  Hetuala can’t go, so they can only go to Argan Mountain, but how many people can be accommodated on Argan Mountain, and how many people can they support?

  The Han people in the city will definitely not follow. Even the Jurchen Eight Banners, I am afraid that many people will not want to go, but if we want to defend Anle Prefecture, can we defend it?

   Even if the Acropolis of Tieling was not defended, can Anle Prefecture be able to defend it?

Of course, you can also say that the morale of Tieling Acropolis was low at that time, and the troops had not yet assembled. You could also say that Zhonggu City was too small, and Anle Prefecture was more suitable for holding on. But you must know that once Anle Prefecture is besieged, everyone will really leave. It's over, and now that the Zhou army is still mobilizing and gathering, and they can still escape, they can immediately go out of the side wall and go north to the side of Argan Mountain.

Nurhachi doesn't think that Anle Prefecture can be defended, and he also knows that many people in the clan have already started looking for various reasons to attack. After taking Anle Prefecture, they should be content, digest the population and territory of the Han people first, and shouldn't start wars hastily up.

  Some people even asked whether it is possible to ask Dazhou to cancel the Dajin Kingdom, continue to retain the identity of the commander of the left guard of Jianzhou, withdraw from the side wall, retain the status of a vassal, and stay on the side wall forever, in order to ask for forgiveness from Da Zhou.

   These people are dreaming.

   It’s about this time, Da Zhou has even captured Hetuala, do you think Da Zhou will give up just because you begged for mercy? It is impossible to stop here if you change yourself.

  These people just want to keep their own glory and wealth and their current luxurious life. As for other things, they don’t care.

  The problem is that these internal rumors and opinions have affected the entire army, and time does not allow it to be delayed any longer. Once Zhonggu City falls, it will be difficult to leave.

   "Khan, everyone is here." The guard came in and said softly.

  Nurhachi tried his best to prop up his body and got off the kang. He felt that his steps were a little flimsy and his body was a little light. During this period of time, he was in a hurry and lay on the kang for too long, which made his body a little bit unbearable.

   There are many people in the hall, He Heli, Fei Yingdong, Hu Erhan, Abai, Huang Taiji, and one more, Li Yongfang.

Li Yongfang fled back, he had nowhere to go, Da Zhou hated him deeply, once he fell into Da Zhou's hands, it would be Ling Chi's fate, so he could only follow Jianzhou to the dark, even worse than Jianzhou. The generals of the state are even more determined, and the generals of the Jianzhou know this, so they don't reject him.

   And Sun Degong disappeared, and he didn't know where he went.

  Glancing at the people in the hall, Nurhachi was filled with emotion. The three sons Chu Ying, Dai Shan, and Mang Gurtai were all missing.

  Daishan and Manggurtai are said to have been captured. It is unknown what their final fate will be, but Nurhachi doesn't care so much.

  He has a dozen sons, big and small, and his favorite Huang Taiji is still with him, and Abahai has three more, so he doesn't care anymore.

  The atmosphere was very dull, avoiding other nobles in the clan, and those who could come to participate were Nurhachi's confidantes, and Nurhachi still firmly controlled the situation.

"..., that's the situation. Now that Anfei Yanggu is standing firm in Zhonggu City, judging from the current battle reports, he should be able to hold on for a few more days, but in the end he won't be able to hold on, and even if he can hold on, it's meaningless , Zhou Jun can attack from both sides of the north and south, we don't have enough troops to stop it now, and morale is also greatly affected, so..."

  He Heli's introduction made everyone feel more and more heavy. It's okay that the situation is so dangerous. The key is that there is no good countermeasure and way out.

   "The situation on the southern line..." Hu Erhan couldn't help asking.

He Heli glanced at Nurhachi, Nurhachi was expressionless, and said slowly: "What is there to hide at this time? The whereabouts of the foreheads are also unknown, and most of them were killed. Daishan was captured, and the southern army was basically captured. The Zhou army was wiped out, otherwise Hetuala would not have been lost. All the troops we can use are concentrated in Zhonggu City and here. Now everyone has to discuss the way out for the future, whether to go or stay, where to go, ..."

Fei Yingdong frowned, "It is said that Zhonggu City can't be defended. Can Anle Prefecture be defended? We still have more than 30,000 horses in our hands. It seems that Anle Prefecture can be defended, but there is no reinforcements outside, so it can be defended." How long will it take, how long will we be able to hold on to the Zhou army’s massive invasion this time? Once the Zhou army is besieged, how long can we continue to send troops into Liao Dynasty? What about our reinforcements? Can we still count on the Jurchen savages in the East China Sea? Or the Mongols?”

"Sajia was captured, but it is estimated that Dazhou will buy Donghai Jurchen, so you can't count on it. On the Mongolian side, Zai Sai has a bit of courage and ideas, but now that Dazhou is in full swing, he dares to turn against Dazhou at this time What? In addition, even if he turns his back on him, he won’t be able to dispel the fire from the distance, and it’s too late for us.” Hu Erhan shook his head, “As for the Chahar people, there’s no need to count on it. Lindan Batur can’t control it at all. The Chahar people, the inside is full of twists and turns, he can't do it..."

   "Then everyone means that we can only go north?" Nurhachi felt relieved.

His idea is also to go north to the Argan Mountains, and walk down the deserted hundreds of miles. He believes that it is impossible for the Zhou army to keep up. If you don't want him anymore, what else can Zhou Jun do? He wants to see how long these Zhou troops can last in this ice and snow.

   Li Yongfang frowned and bared her teeth and asked, "Khan, if you go north, how will you deal with the food and grass for these tens of thousands of people? The north can't afford such a big consumption,..."

   One sentence silenced everyone present.

That's right, you can go north, and it's still too late, Anle Prefecture still has some food and grass savings, but once you go out, especially after passing Qingyang Fort and Zhenbei Pass, it will really be a vast mountain forest and grassland. How long can this food and grass last, ten days, one month, or three months?

   Even if it is three months, what will happen after three months?

  Eating bark and grass roots in the grassland forest? Not to mention hunting, it is impossible to feed tens of thousands of people by hunting alone, maybe a few thousand people can do it.

   Also, all the soldiers went north, what about the other Jurchen people? If you also go north, the consumption will be greater, and it will not be able to help. It is just the most realistic problem.

"I thought about this point. It must be very difficult to go north. Even tens of thousands of people may only have half or even 30% left. But if we don't leave, Zhou Jun will swarm in. Can we hold Anlezhou? Can't hold it , we all know that the result will be wiped out..." Nurhachi paused, "I have already sent a letter to Zemuthei, asking him to send some grain and dried meat to Argan Mountain, and let Woji The Ministry sent some food over there, and Fei Yingdong immediately went to North Korea as an envoy to know the benefits and dangers. Da Zhou destroyed us, and the next step must be pointed at them. We don't need him to send troops to help us, we only need him to provide us quietly. Some food, as long as we are alive, Da Zhou will have no time to deal with them..."

The atmosphere in the hall became a little looser. The Donghai Jurchen Nest Department had the closest relationship with Jianzhou, and they could get some food. The Varka Department was the strongest, but Zermut Hei admired Nurhachi the most, so he should be able to get some food However, the Huerha tribe where Sajiala is located is not easy to say, and Nurhachi didn't mention it either.

  The other is North Korea.

The Jianzhou Jurchens and North Korea have been in secret contact for several years. After taking down the Six Forts of Kuandian, North Korea also provided a lot of grain and grass for Jianzhou, and Jianzhou also gave North Korea a lot of horses. Now this road I have to go on.

   But now that the situation has changed so much, will North Korea still be willing to give Jianzhou food and grass as before? Everyone has doubts about this question, but they dare not raise it.

Li Yongfang is even skeptical about whether the Donghai Jurchen group will continue to support Jianzhou, but now it is indeed as Nurhachi said, there is no way out, what else can I do, I can only go north, take one step at a time, and see Look at the situation.

"Khan, if you really want to leave, you have to get ready as soon as possible. You have to leave within three days. During this period, I'm afraid you should take away as much as you can from Anlezhou City. You don't need anything else, but the food and grass Bring as many things as possible." He Heli sighed, once this step is taken, there is no turning back.
