Dorgon looked at Hong Chengchou and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Hong?"
"My opinion is similar to Mr. Fan's," Hong Chengchou said politely, "This is a false empty city plan! Li Dingguo is afraid of our army's strong attack, so he can only use this trick to confuse our army and make our army dare not attack rashly."
"Well," Dorgon nodded with confidence after receiving the assurances from the two counselors. "The clumsy Li Dingguo would never have thought that I could capture Weijialing Pass and Huaerying City today. When the time comes, we will advance on three fronts. I will contain them head-on, Su Bai will attack their flanks, and Li Chengdong will cut off their retreat!"
"Don't even mention Li Dingguo. Even if Wang Yongji comes, he will be defeated!"
"Your Highness is wise and brave!" Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou complimented him at the same time.
Just as the two of them were about to continue their compliments, a scout came running in: "Something bad has happened, Your Majesty.

"Hmm?" Dorgon frowned first, then cursed: "Bullshit! The main force of the Ming army is confronting me, how can we attack them by surprise?"
In Dorgon's view, this was definitely a lie made up by Subai to cover up the failure of the siege.
"Your Majesty, calm down." Fan Wencheng stood up and said, "There is no need for Subai to lie!"
"No way!" Dorgon was even more puzzled. "The main force of the Ming army is right in front of me. How could they suddenly appear at Weijialing Pass?"
"Your Highness, there is no need to guess. You will know after trying it now!" Hong Chengchou also stood up.
They were both a little embarrassed.
After all, they had just guessed that Li Dingguo's main force was right in front of them and had not gone anywhere.
If Li Dingguo's main force really went to Weijialing Pass.
It was tantamount to a slap in the face to both of them.
