Quickly wear "I am the empress"

When Huang Taiji and his soldiers surrounded Shengjing City, a message arrived from the front lines: the Ming army had captured a border city.

Upon hearing this news, Huang Taiji was so angry that he pointed his long sword directly at Bumbutai on the city wall.

He glared at the two men through gritted teeth and said, "Dorgon, Bumbutai, I have treated you both well, why did you betray me?"

The two men on the city wall did not react after hearing Dorgon's words.

After all, at this point, nothing they said could extinguish Huang Taiji's anger.

Huang Taiji didn't want to hear their answers at this moment. He pointed his sword at the city gate and ordered, "Take down the city gate for me."

Having said that, Huang Taiji took the lead and rode his horse forward.

The Imperial Guards of Shengjing were naturally inferior to the troops that had been on the battlefield.

Just as the situation was becoming clearer, a group of people dressed in black appeared out of nowhere.

After these people joined the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield quickly changed.

Upon seeing the suddenly appearing group of men in black, Bumbutai loosened her clenched fist.

Thankfully, that person kept their promise...

Huang Taiji stared coldly at the men in black who had suddenly appeared.

He regarded the Ming Dynasty as a formidable enemy at this time, so he naturally had some knowledge of the Ming Dynasty. Others might not know who this group of people were, but he did.

The sleeves of these men in black were embroidered with faint phoenix patterns. Who else could this group be but the ones who set fire to his grain supplies back then?

Over the years, he had considered sending men to capture Phoenix and teach them a lesson, but these people were elusive and unpredictable; his men had never even caught a glimpse of Phoenix...

Unexpectedly, this group of people appeared silently on the land of the Great Jin Dynasty, without him noticing...

With the addition of the Phoenix, the Imperial Guards, having been defeated, quickly suppressed the army brought by Huang Taiji.

Seeing this, Huang Taiji had no choice but to retreat with his men, because if he didn't retreat, he would become Dorgon's prisoner.

After his defeat, Huang Taiji was at a loss for what to do. He eventually chose to return to the border and lead the Later Jin army to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

He thought that as long as the army was in his hands, he would be able to seize Shengjing sooner or later.

To his surprise, he ended up staying at the border for two years.

In the past two years, he has failed to reclaim the territory that the Ming Dynasty had seized. The only thing he can do is to defend it strictly and prevent the Ming army from advancing any further.

In the past two years, Dorgon and Bumbutai have controlled Shengjin and ruled it along the Yangtze River.

He had considered going back to reclaim everything that belonged to him, but the Ming army was too difficult to deal with, and he was simply unable to spare the time to deal with it all. He could only watch helplessly as Dorgon grew stronger step by step.

Currently, Dorgon has the backing of the Ming Dynasty and a fairly good relationship with the grasslands, so for the time being, he is unable to do anything about Dorgon.

However, Huang Taiji was not one to admit defeat. So what if half his territory was taken? After dealing with Dorgon, he would still send troops to the Ming Dynasty and seize that fertile land...

Huang Taiji's proposal to cease hostilities was naturally within Zhiyu's plan.

Now that Shengjing is under the control of Bumbutai, Huang Taiji has an army, but his supplies are insufficient. If the fighting continues, he will inevitably be at a disadvantage. Making peace with the Ming Dynasty and recuperating is what Huang Taiji should do at this time.

"Your Majesty, now is the perfect opportunity to take down the Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop. Why should we agree to Huang Taiji's request for peace?"
