"That's not what I meant. What I meant was... to attack without extending the food supply route."
nonsense!
Dorgon cursed in his heart.
Doesn't he want to do this?
But you can't have your cake and eat it too, unless you take the initiative to attack Guangning City.
But this is even more unrealistic.
Li Dingguo had 20,000 soldiers under his command, but he had less than 30,000.
The extra troops are of great advantage in field battles.
But if we attack a city, especially Guangning City which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, this advantage will disappear.
What's more, the infantry under Li Dingguo have a large number of artillery, which is definitely a powerful weapon for defending the city!

Dorgon looked away from him with some disappointment, and looked at Fan Wencheng expectantly, "Where is Mr. Fan?"
Fan Wencheng thought for a while and said, "I think we can neither extend the food route nor hold out in Guangning. After all, Li Dingguo has sufficient food and grass, and he can hold out for two to three months or even half a year, but it is hard to say whether Liaoyang and Shengjing can hold out for that long."
Dorgon was speechless: "You two gentlemen have said so many great truths, but you haven't said a single useful strategy. Have you run out of ideas?"
The two counselors, Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou, looked at each other again. Just as they were about to speak, they were interrupted by Dorgon: "Don't say anything yet. Write it down on your hands and show it to me at the same time. How about that?"
"Let's follow the prince's plan." The two of them followed Dorgon's request and wrote down the words on their left hands with a pen.
After writing, the two stood side by side in front of Dorgon and stretched out their left hands.
Dorgon looked carefully and found that the words "Divide the troops" were written on the left hands of both of them.
