Even without an attack, just a blockade would put the Jiannu into a predicament of material shortages. Coupled with the disasters of the Little Ice Age, the Jiannu could starve to death.
But that was not Zhu Youxiao's standard. The only way to solve the problem was to solve it once and for all. When the disaster came, the internal problems of the Ming Dynasty and the unrest of the nomadic peoples in the north were both big troubles.
Life is spent in the process of constantly encountering problems and solving them.
Zhu Youxiao had already walked to the sand table and began to ponder, looking for the fastest and best way to solve the problem.

While the emperor was still pondering in the palace thousands of miles away, the war situation in Liaodong had gradually calmed down.
The Ming army in southern Liaoning used the Shahe River and the Bili River as barriers, built defensive fortifications between the two rivers, and took Fuzhou into its possession.

With the help of Gou Zhenhuai, Chen Jisheng and Mao Chenglu's army, the battle losses at the Dongjiang headquarters were not great, and they firmly tied down the two flags of Huang Taiji and Du Du.
Because the Yalu River could be used for defense and troop transportation, it was difficult for Huang Taiji and Du Du to prevent attacks on the areas ruled by the Later Jin Dynasty.
What they feared most was that the Ming army would go up the Yalu River and attack the "Dragon's Rise Place", so they had to move their troops north for nearby protection or to be rescued as soon as possible.
