The same news was delivered to Nurhaci a few days later. Nurhaci frowned.
"How dare they gather the forces of the four divisions to attack me? What about their numbers? "
"I don't know yet."
He Heli shook his head, "But according to my estimation, it should be no less than thirty thousand."
Nurhaci asked again, "What's the maximum number of troops we can take out?"
"About thirty thousand, but that's all we have, not all they have."
He Heli warned Nurhaci.
"Don't worry. After we defeat these elite troops, the rest can be eliminated quickly. They're not a threat to us."
Nurhaci seemed very confident.
"You've decided to fight them?"
He Heli looked at Nurhaci.
"If they want to fight, how can I not accompany them? They've been dissatisfied with me for a long time, and I've been dissatisfied with them for a long time. This time, I'll take down Hessian in one fell swoop! "Both Hessian and Nurhaci had become stronger.
But to Nurhaci's surprise, it wasn't just the four divisions of Hessian that came to attack him. There were also the Horqin Tribe of Mongolia, Belemingan, Xibe, Gua 'ercha, Jurchen of Changbai Mountain, Zhusheri, and Neyin. Altogether, there were nine divisions attacking Nurhaci.
After hearing about the changes in Hessian Jurchen, these five divisions actively responded to the Jurchen's action, preparing to divide Nurhaci's Jianzhou Division.
When Nurhachi heard the news, he was a little worried. He could still fight against the four tribes, but if the nine tribes joined forces, Nurhachi was worried that he would encounter an unprecedented attack.
He Heli and the other four subordinates he relied on the most gathered around him, discussing with him how to deal with this matter, whether to fight or not.
Except for He Heli, the other four were arguing fiercely. Only He Heli didn't say a word.
So Nurhaci asked He Heli.
"What's your opinion?"
He Heli looked at the other four and said, "My opinion is that we don't need to discuss whether to fight or not. We should discuss how to fight."
Anfeyangu looked at He Heli and hurriedly said, "The enemy's numbers are likely to be more than twice of ours. How are we going to fight them? The best thing to do now is to sue for peace and stall for time, then send someone to Beijing to inform Chu Ying of this matter, and ask Chu Ying to come forward and ask the Daqin Emperor to intervene. "
He Heli shook his head.
"The Nine Tribes won't negotiate with you. They won't give you a chance. They already have the absolute advantage. With the Nine Tribes joining forces, what bargaining chips do we have to negotiate with them? Even if they accept, what kind of price do we have to pay?
Would Chu Ying receive the news in time? Would the Emperor of Daqin be willing to intervene? What you said is only one possibility. If Chu Ying did not receive the news, or if he failed, what should we do? Wait to become their slave? "
He Heli's words left Anfeyangu speechless.
And this opinion was exactly what Nurhaci was thinking.
He knew that this was not the time to discuss how to sue for peace, but how to fight this war.
Nalin Bulu had made it clear that he was here to destroy the Jian Province. Even if it was a peace negotiation, it would be a peace negotiation of destroying the Jian Province. There was no other possibility. So instead of waiting for death, it was better to fight with all their might. Perhaps there would be a chance of survival.
"Since we are going to fight, how should we fight? The enemy has the advantage in numbers, and we are isolated and helpless. "
Nurhaci stated his predicament.
He Heli said, "The enemy does have the advantage in numbers, but they are united by the Nine Tribes. It is difficult to unify the command. Each tribe has its own thoughts, and we have a unified command. We only have one goal, and that is to defeat them. So in this regard, we have the advantage."
Nurhaci was overjoyed. "In other words, our goal is to kill their leader and destroy their command. That way, they will not be able to continue fighting?"
"Yes! That's it! "
He Heli said with certainty.
After a morning of debate, the thoughts of the Jian Province's Jurchen Women were unified. Everyone abandoned all distractions and focused on preparing for the war of survival against the Nine Tribes.
At the same time, the leaders of seven of the Nine Tribes United Army were eating meat and drinking wine together. The remaining two tribes had gathered behind Nurhachi and were also eating and drinking, looking forward to the bright future together. They were looking forward to the large amount of benefits that would be shared equally after the Jian Province's Jurchens were destroyed. This was undoubtedly very gratifying.
This news was quickly learned by Liao Zhong and the others. They also learned that the Nine Tribes' Coalition Army had 70,000 troops, and that Nurhaci's Jian Province Guards could also send 30,000 people to fight to the death.
An army of 100,000 people.
Liao Zhong and Ma Chong finally understood why Xiao Ruxun was so afraid of the Jurchen Women. This was not a simple ten or twenty thousand people, but 100,000 people.
"No wonder His Majesty said that he was most afraid of the Jurchen Women's unification. If they really unified, it is not impossible to send 100,000 people, right?"
Ma Chong looked at Liao Zhong.
Liao Zhong nodded, looking solemn.
"We have underestimated the Jurchen Women. But after this battle, will Nurhaci be able to survive? I highly doubt it. "
Ma Chong said again, "According to His Majesty, Nurhaci is gifted in military affairs and knows how to fight. How do you think the enemy will fight if they really fight?"
"His Majesty is an expert in this area. In the past, His Majesty had fewer troops than his opponents in every battle, but he always won. His Majesty told me that one must either have better weapons, be faster, be braver, or take advantage of the opponent's weaknesses and defeat them one by one. In short, fighting the opponent with inferior forces is seeking death."
"Then how will the Jian Province fight against Haixi? We have given them almost the same weapons, and they have fewer people. "
Ma Wei asked.
Liao Zhong said, "In my opinion, I will not fight them directly. Instead, I will find a way to defeat them one by one. If the nine tribes unite, who will be in charge of nine tribes that do not belong to each other? Who will distribute the spoils of war? This in itself is a very big disadvantage. Otherwise, the 18 feudal princes wouldn't have become a joke when they asked for Dong. "
"That is to say, they will be divided and disintegrated?"
"Not necessarily. Under such circumstances, the other party is almost at our doorstep. How can we talk about division and disintegration? We will directly go to the battlefield to see the real deal. We will either take advantage of the weakness of the other party's troops that are not well-connected and defeat them one by one, or we will behead them.
"We will kill the other party's leader and leave them without a leader. Then, we will defeat them one by one. However, no matter what, we have to hold on to the key points and have the strength to fight. If we don't even have the strength to fight, we will not be able to defeat the opponent no matter what."
"Then how will the Jian Province Jurchen Women fight? Will they really defeat Haixi as His Majesty said? "
Ma Chong looked at Liao Zhong. Liao Zhong thought for a long time and could only shake his head.
"I don't know. No one can be sure about this. In my opinion, these barbarians do not have any skills in war. They just rely on their strength. If they knew how to use the art of war to fight, they would not have been suppressed here by the Qian Ming Dynasty."
Although Liao Zhong said this, he also had doubts in his heart.
If he was right and the Jian Province Jurchen Women really won, what should he do?
Then, he could only intervene.
Liao Zhong said to Ma Chong very cautiously, "No matter what, immediately tell Luo Rong of the Battle Wolf Camp to reorganize the troops and be ready to attack at any time. Once there are any changes in their battle, we have to attack as soon as possible and intervene in this battle."
Ma Chong nodded.
"I understand."
