Three Kingdoms: Peak Summons

Chapter 2052: Retreat as Advance (Part 2)

Chapter 2050: Retreat to advance (Part 2)

Late at night, in the Qing army camp, candlelight was bright, and Nurhaci was still on military duty.

The Qing army was poorly prepared before the war, and now it hastily responded to the battle. Even if it switched from defense to offense, it was still at a disadvantage against the Qin army. This made Nurhaci very worried.

Nurhaci knew that this battle was difficult to choose, but still fought hard with Qin Hao. Because the Qin army fought on multiple fronts, the military pressure was no less than that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so he wanted to hold back the main force of the Qin army in Hebei until great changes occurred in the Central Plains. The major princes divided the power of the Qin army, which greatly reduced the strength of the Qin army. At that time, the balance of strength between Qin and Qing Dynasty was completely reversed.

But what Nurhachi didn't expect was that the Qin army's background was so deep. Even if he held back most of the Qin army's main force in Hebei, the Central Plains princes still failed to divide the Qin army. This made him secretly think in his heart. He scolded Li Shimin, Liu Ji and others as trash.

 “Amma, good news.”

Hong Taiji walked into the big tent with a receipt and said excitedly: "What great news."

"oh?"

Nurhachi’s eyes were full of expectation and he asked: “But there was a victory on the front line?”

In the battle with the Qin army, there were more defeats and fewer victories. In addition, Jia Fu gave him a blow not long ago, so that the morale of the army is getting lower and lower. Now Nurha urgently needs a big victory to boost morale. .

 “Well, not really.”

Hearing this, Nurhachi couldn't help but look disappointed, and said with half interest: "What on earth is it?"

“Amma, this good news is not a victory, but it is more of a victory.”

With that said, Huang Taiji handed the memorial in his hand to Nurhachi. He has now been established as the crown prince and has the right to replace the emperor in practice, so this important memorial will be passed to him.

“Amma, the King of Jin said in the memorial that he was injured in the battle, and now his injury has worsened, so he took the initiative to resign and returned to Liaodong to repair his injuries. At the same time, he will sit in the rear for the Qing Dynasty. He hopes that Amma will send a general to take over the army as soon as possible.”

"What?"

Nurhachi suddenly became excited and stood up from his chair. Then he grabbed the memorial from Huang Taiji's hand and scanned it quickly, but his brows became more and more frowned as he read it.

"Aguda actually wants to take the initiative to hand over his military power? Is this not his character, or does he have some conspiracy?" Nurhachi frowned and said to himself.

In the memorial, Aguda did not explicitly say that he wanted to hand over military power, but since he took the initiative to ask for transfer and sit in the rear, the army under his command would naturally be handed over to someone else to command, which was equivalent to handing over military power to Nurhaci.

Previously, Nurhaci wanted to smoothly take back Aguda's military power through peaceful means, but he was defused by Aguda's tricks.

Nurhaci was also afraid that he would force Aguda to rebel, which would eventually cause the split of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so he did not dare to force Aguda too hard.

But Nurhaci never imagined that he had tried so hard to force Aguda to compromise, but now Aguda actually took the initiative to hand over his military power. This suddenly made him feel unreal, and even instinctively believed that there was a conspiracy.

“Amma, King Jin doesn’t even have military power anymore, so what else can he do with his schemes?”

Huang Taiji asked back, and then said: "My son thought that maybe Ama's beating during the day had an effect, making King Jin feel in awe. In order to prevent being liquidated in the future and even affecting his family, he took the initiative to hand over the remaining military power. "

 “That makes sense.”

Nurhaci nodded. Although he still felt something was wrong, he couldn't think of a specific reason. He couldn't refuse the military power that came to him, right?

As the first hero of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wanyan Aguda made countless contributions to the Qing Dynasty. Now that he has voluntarily returned his military power, Nurhachi cannot continue to target him. At least he must let him start well and end well. "In this case, let Aguda return to Liaodong to recuperate, and at the same time, he will sit in the rear for my frontline troops. As for the candidate to replace him..."

Hearing this, Huang Taiji was worried. He was actually very anxious. Although he was now the crown prince, his status was not completely consolidated because he had not completely conquered the three Koreas.

Most of Huang Taiji's confidants were stationed on the front line of Sanhan, and there were not many of his subordinates in the frontline army. Brothers such as Dorgon, Duduo, and Daishan were eyeing his position as prince. Once he was defeated in the battle with the Qin army, If he achieves great success, it is likely to shake his position as prince, so he is eager to have his own subordinates in the frontline army.

Looking at Huang Taiji's expectant eyes, Nurhaci smiled and said, "I'll leave it to you, Huang Er, to take charge of Aguda's subordinates."

Hearing that his father asked him to take over the military power of Aguda, Huang Taiji was overjoyed and said quickly: "Thank you, Amma. I will definitely live up to Amma's expectations."

After hesitating for a while, Huang Taiji still asked: "May I ask Amma, after Erchen takes over, will there be a major change in the Wanyan line?"

Nurhaci was startled, and after a long silence, he said: "You can replace some of them, but you can't replace them all, otherwise this army will be useless."

 “My son, I understand.”

　　——————

The next day, a piece of news spread like a hurricane and quickly spread throughout the Qing army, shocking all the Qing soldiers. It was that King Wanyan Aguda of Jin had resigned due to injury, surrendered his military power and returned to Liaodong to take charge of the rear. Prince Huang Taiji took over the command of the army from Aguda.

 Although the lower-level soldiers were surprised by this, they had no other reaction, but it made many high-level officials panic.

Aguda was injured?

Isn’t this nonsense?

 He didn't even start a fight with Huo Qubing, so where did this injury come from?

Some powerful nobles, headed by Tuobagui, believed that Nurhaci was deliberately suppressing the army in order to take back the military power from Aguma's thugs, but they didn't even bother to cover it up, so they used such a lame excuse.

Tuobagui and others felt extremely uneasy about this. After all, Aguda and Nurhachi were cousins ​​who grew up together. He was loyal to Nurhaci and had done nothing wrong, but he was deprived of his military power for no reason. Will Nurhaci take it back? Will their military power also be taken away?

　　——————

“Military advisor, Nurhaci has allowed me to go back and take charge of the rear.” Wanyan Aguda said with a cold face.

Aguda originally thought that even if Nurhaci wanted military power, he would at least retain him in order to look good, but he didn't want him to submit his resignation. Nurhaci turned around and won directly, without any intention of retaining him.

This also made Aguda's heart instantly cool down, and he firmly believed that he was doing the right thing, otherwise he would be killed by Nurhaci sooner or later.

“Without the command of the cavalry, the power of the infantry is useless to His Highness. It is a pity to abandon it if it is tasteless.

Nurhachi is too wary of His Highness. Even if he retains the military power, he has no chance. It is better to give up this quick waste and retreat in order to let Nurhaci relax his vigilance against you, Your Highness, so that you, Your Highness, have the opportunity to take advantage of the fire. "

Zhang Yi's eyes were full of wisdom and he sneered: "It is impossible to overthrow Aixinjueluo only with the power of Wanyan and his family, so now your highness needs allies.

Nurhaci’s appearance is too ugly, and his eagerness to take back His Highness’s military power will definitely cause panic among other princes, and these people are Your Highness’s natural allies. "

A glint flashed in Aguda's eyes, and he said to himself: "It seems that we must join forces with Tuoba Gui."
