Dorgon hid on the Loess Plateau with ravines, like a lurking hunter, quietly waiting for the fighter plane.

Time has passed invisibly, and five days have passed little by little.

The commander in charge of the investigation, several scout leaders in charge of the investigation, had just received the order and left. The deputy general with a worried expression on his face hurriedly broke into the commander in... Yes, he just broke in, and broke in without any notification.

Although the behavior of the deputy general made Dorgon very dissatisfied, Dorgon was not angry because the other party was his confidant. He just frowned and asked, "What's the matter? I'm so anxious..."

The deputy general quickly reported: "Master Beile, the slave has important matters here, which is related to the life and death of our army. Therefore, please allow Master Beile to allow the slave to report separately..."

After taking a deep look at the deputy general in front of him, Dorgon waved his hand confidently and signaled the guards to leave the military tent.

Then, he asked in a deep tone: "These guards have all gone out. If you have any questions, report them immediately..."

The deputy general did not dare to neglect, so he took out a list full of data and sent it to Dorgon. Then, he knelt in front of Dorgon again and reported: "Mr. Beile... What the slave wants to say is that if we cannot obtain grain supplies from northern Shaanxi, in the latest two days, more than 10,000 warriors under Beile's command will be out of food because of this..."

"In order not to affect the morale and morale of the warriors, the slave begged Mr. Beller to come up with a solution to the supply immediately..."

In the consistent combat style of Mongolian cavalry and Tartar cavalry, the troops rob wherever they fight and eat wherever they eat. They don’t worry about supplies and food at all.

Therefore, after entering northern Shaanxi, Dorgon never thought about these problems from beginning to end.

Now that I suddenly heard that the cavalry who made a living by looting would be short of food, Dorgon was puzzled and shocked.

However, the deputy general who knelt in front of Dorgon seemed to have expected this scene long ago.

Dorgon, who had a shocked expression, had not spoken yet, and the deputy general had already begun to report.

"Bei Le, because northern Shaanxi has been a key area for the Ming rebel activities a year ago. Therefore, the people in this area were either taken into rebel soldiers or fled here..."

"In the vast northern Shaanxi, except for the county towns, there are many Ming people living in it. Other places have long become deserted wastelands..."

"There is no food without people. The warriors just want to loot, but there is no target for looting."

"So, during these ten days of fighting and waiting, the warriors ate the jerky we carried with us from Mongolia..."

At this time, the shock on Dorgon's face had been severely replaced. He realized the seriousness of the problem.

After taking a deep breath, he asked to the deputy general in front of him with expectation: "Is there any way to plunder food from the Ming people?"

The deputy general shook his head and replied: "Mr. Beile. I just said that except for a few county towns, there is no one in the large northern Shaanxi Province, and no grain can be found in a large Ming Dynasty person... "

"However, these county towns with food were occupied by the Tiger and Leopard Army a few days ago..."

"The slaves are worried that with the advantages of the Tiger and Leopard Army's firearms, and their waiting for their labor, even if we dispatch cavalry to attack these counties, it is impossible to capture them..."

Without food, these cavalry from various Mongolian tribes would not continue to follow themselves, and there is no doubt that this is not a question.

Faced with this problem, Dorgon, who looked helpless, couldn't help but sigh: "Is this battle that Benbeile has worked hard to destroy on the food..."

"I finally eliminated thousands of Tiger and Leopard Army and withdrew from Shaanxi like this. Benbeile was unwilling to accept it... very unwilling to accept it..."

At this time, the deputy general directly reported a piece of news that made Dorgon even more desperate.

"Master Beile, I have a word that I don't know whether I should say... Now, even if we want to quit Shaanxi, it is not easy..."

"What did you say..." Dorgon, who was frowning, suddenly stood up from his seat, with his pair of murderous eyes, stared at the adjutant in front of him from a high voice, and asked loudly.

It was like the adjutant in front of him didn't say a word, but he had to kill him with his eyes.

The adjutant did not hesitate and answered in response to Dorgon's gaze when he looked at him: "Master Beile, everything I just said is true, there is no false... Please see the map..."

"We retreated from northern Shaanxi to the two essential traffic routes of Mongolia, Jingbian County and Dingbian County, which were the two essential roads, and were occupied by the Tiger and Leopard Army a few days ago... If we want to retreat through these two roads, we must regain one of the county towns from the Tiger and Leopard Army..."

After quickly scanning the map in front of him, Dorgon's face turned red directly due to anger and aggrievance.

After suppressing the anger in his heart, he shouted to the deputy general in front of him: "Since you already knew that our retreat route had been cut off by the Tiger and Leopard Army, why not report earlier..."

In front of the angry Dorgon, the deputy general quickly replied: "Please calm down... I reported it at that time... But, you didn't take it seriously. And he also said that it won't take long to take the Tiger and Leopard Army, which suffered heavy losses, will voluntarily give up these counties and return to Shanxi..."

That's right, Dorgon, who didn't know he would be short of food at the beginning, was very confident in the tactics and tactics he had carefully studied. He thought that as long as he had enough time, he could eat the tiger and leopard army bit by bit by bit...

However, what Dorgon did not expect was that in less than five days he had just held this idea, the problem of food shortage suddenly emerged and blocked him.

After slumped in the seat with a decadent face and helplessness, Dorgon had to admit the fact that the tactics he had carefully studied had been cracked by the Tiger and Leopard Army…”

"Otherwise, the Tiger and Leopard Army would never have sent troops a few days ago to occupy these counties that were related to their own life and death."

"More importantly, as an old opponent, the Tiger and Leopard Army, perhaps a few days ago, had guessed that it would face the problem of food shortage. As the supreme commander of more than 10,000 cavalry, I was still in the dark.

"The cunning Tiger and Leopard Army, the cunning Wei Zheng... I really didn't expect that I, Dorgon, would be in your hands again... Benbeile was unwilling to give up, unwilling to give up..."

Speaking of this, Dorgon, who had a hint of hope, turned his attention to the map again, hoping to find a new way out for himself on the map.

Just as his eyes turned to Yan'an, the deputy general who was still kneeling in front of him actually spoke another news that made him feel desperate.

"At that time, Yan'an County was also occupied by the Five Thousand Tigers and Leopards Army together with Dingbian County."

"I think that the Tiger and Leopard Army has only one purpose for this, that is, to trap us in northern Shaanxi..."

"If we do not reveal our identities on the initiative and attack these counties, we will starve to death in this deserted wasteland."

With a helpless look on his face, Dorgon had to nod and approve what the deputy general said.

However, in his heart, there was still a strong sense of reluctance.

Because he was the strongest and noble royal family with the ability to lead the Later Jin army. Wei Zheng, the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Army, was just a bandit in the Ming Dynasty... How could Dorgon be willing to do this with such a status gap?

Therefore, Dorgon, who had not thought of a solution for the time being, turned his attention to the deputy general who brought him these bad news, and asked with murderous look on his face: "Do you have any good ideas..."

When he saw the hesitant expression on the face of the deputy general, Dorgon continued to ask: "Benbeile asked you to say it, just say... Regardless of whether the solution is feasible, Benbeile will not blame you..."

"Yes, Master Beile... I do have a small idea here..." At this time, the deputy general had to speak under Dorgon's gaze.

"What a slave means to end the plan you are implementing immediately by Mr. Beile. Then, select a county town occupied by the Tiger and Leopard Army, and quickly launch an attack while we still have food in our hands."

“As long as we can capture one of the county towns, our food problem will be solved.”

"At that time, whether you stay in northern Shaanxi, continue to carry out your plan by Beileye or take advantage of the opportunity to withdraw from Mongolia, you can..."

Dorgon replied with a complicated look: "This is indeed the only way for us to solve the food problem...but, in this way, the warriors will be exposed to the eyes of the Tiger and Leopard Army... If we cannot capture the county town as soon as possible, we may be besieged by other Tiger and Leopard Army troops..."

"In this way, if the food problem is not solved, it will bring a devastating blow to more than 10,000 cavalry under his command..."

The deputy general did not show even a dismay expression on his face because of this sentence.

Under Dorgon's gaze, he continued to analyze: "Belle... I think we can not put all our troops on a county town... Just like the plan that Mr. Beile is implementing, with multiple troops..."

"Concentrate a certain number of cavalry to attract reinforcements from other county towns. Then, concentrate the remaining troops and suddenly launch an attack on other county towns with empty troops..."

"As long as we succeed in the attack, we will immediately withdraw from the battlefield... In this way, we can achieve the greatest results with the least cost..."
