Huang Taiji would never allow this to happen. He would never allow Khorchin to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty.
As a result, the situation was reversed, and his family was isolated again. The family fortune accumulated by his father Khan over the years was passed on to him, and the good situation was gone.
Daishan nodded and said, "I will immediately arrange for someone to find out the news."
At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door, and then a man walked in with a serious face.
Huang Taiji and Daishan turned their heads together and looked over. The person was none other than Manggurtai.
At this time, Manggurtai hurried into the house and saw Daishan and Huang Taiji, as well as Agutai kneeling on the ground. He knew something had happened here.
But this was not the time to talk about these things. Manggurtai raised his head and looked at Huang Taiji, and said with a serious face: "Khan, the Ming army is moving."
"What's the development?" Huang Taiji looked at Manggurtai and asked in a deep voice.
"The Ming army deployed troops in Liaodong, drawing troops from Liaoyang, Shenyang and other places, all heading towards Shenyang, seemingly preparing to attack Tieling and Qinghe, with great momentum.
After hearing this, the faces of several people in the room turned ugly.
Since the Battle of Shenyang, the Jurchens have retreated and have never caused trouble for the Ming Dynasty.
Obviously, after this victory, the Ming Dynasty gained confidence and wanted to attack. The situation was dangerous.
"You've come just in time." Daishan, who was standing aside, said with a gloomy face, "It's a good time to give them a blow and let them know how powerful we are."
Their morale was boosted by the Battle of Shenyang, and they've been launching frequent attacks in Liaodong, making things unsettled these days. Now that they're here, that's perfect. We'll fight them off and show them how powerful we are. If we have the chance, we can seize both Shenyang and Liaoyang."
After hearing this, Manggurtai nodded, stepped forward and said, "Khan, please prepare the army for battle. If the Ming army dares to attack us, we will kill them without leaving a single piece of armor."
Huang Taiji looked at his brother and Manggurtai and said hesitantly, "I'm afraid it's not that simple."
After hearing this, Daishan also reacted. He glanced at Agutai who was kneeling on the ground and said, "I'm afraid it's really not that simple. The people of Daming must be planning something."
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Manggurtai asked from the side.
Naturally, this matter could not be concealed, so Daishan told Manggurtai all the news that Agutai brought back.
After finishing his words, Daishan said, "This timing is truly a coincidence. Just now we received news that the Ming army has made unusual movements over there."
"You all know that the Ming army is led by Xiong Tingbi. He's always been treacherous and cunning, and a coward. Despite our numerous provocations, he never left the city, stubbornly defending Shenyang and Liaoyang. He even pretended to fight us to the death. But now he's suddenly attacking, which is completely out of character."
"Does Khorchin dare to send troops to attack us?" Manggurtai said angrily.
In Manggurtai's view, the Khorchin were a group of cowards. Even if they had a thousand guts, they wouldn't dare to send troops, let alone fight Huang Taiji.
It's not like they haven't fought before, but when was it successful? When didn't they return defeated?
They were so brave that they allied with the Ming army? Where did they get the courage?
"We still don't know what's going on here. Huang Taiji said with a sullen face, "But there must be a conspiracy. We can't act rashly. We must get the latest information first."
"Mang Gurtai, take your men and keep watch over the cities. Pass the message down, don't rush out. Wait until we have a clear understanding of the situation. Send out plenty of scouts to investigate the movements of the Ming army."
"Send someone from Korchin to check the news immediately. We must find out the situation as soon as possible." Manggurtai nodded.
If things really changed, this would be the safest course of action. Although he looked down on the Khorchin tribe, if they truly had some connection with the Ming Dynasty, they would definitely not simply unite their forces to attack him.
If Khorchin sent troops, wouldn't they be afraid that someone would destroy their lair? Moreover, what benefits would they gain from joining forces with the Ming army?
What can you get if you win?
The gratitude of the Ming army? Or the money and food of the Ming army?
The Khorchin people are not that stupid.
