No one is a fool. Who would follow a pauper if there is no benefit?

But the old slave still had concerns. He couldn't understand the reason for Guangning's defeat, and couldn't figure out who was behind the arrangement and planning that made him taste the bitter fruit of his first failure.

If I don't figure this matter out and resolve the knot in my heart, I will always be hesitant and hesitant about sending troops to start a war.

"The Ming army retreated, leaving a large uninhabited area, making it difficult for our spies to conduct further reconnaissance." Huang Taiji frowned slightly and said, "There are no civilians living in Ningyuan City, so it is impossible for spies or insiders to sneak in."

The old slave narrowed his eyes, feeling the difficulty, and said helplessly, "Attacking cities is not our army's strong point. There are still several months left in winter. If we intensively train for siege operations, perhaps we can improve our situation."

Huang Taiji bowed and said, "Father Khan, leave the siege training to me!"

The old slave looked at his eighth son with great satisfaction and praised him, "Among all the Beile, you are the most resourceful and knowledgeable. Let you train the siege troops!"

Huang Taiji quickly stood up and bowed, accepting the order and saying, "Don't worry, my father. I will definitely train a troop that is good at attacking cities and forge powerful siege weapons."

The old servant nodded with a smile, pressed his hand down, and motioned for his eighth son to sit down. Just as he was about to say a few more words, the guards outside came in to report that the Fushun Prince Consort was waiting outside with two secret agents.

"Let them in quickly." The old slave was in high spirits and turned to Huang Taiji and said, "You should listen too."

Huang Taiji responded in agreement, and in his heart he was very eager to hear the latest information about the Ming army and the Ming Dynasty.

Since the Ming army retreated and relocated all the people in western Liaoning, coupled with the blockade along the coast, the intelligence channels of the Later Jin Dynasty were almost completely blocked, making Lao Nu and Huang Taiji feel quite blind and deaf.
