Of course, Yang Xin didn't know that someone was already plotting against Qingjun......

Actually, it's inevitable.

Those gentry are not stupid, they scolded him as a traitor and a gelding dog as nine thousand years old, but in fact they all knew very well that the real mastermind was the little emperor who was doing tricks and tricks in the palace, and Yang Xin and nine thousand years old were just right-hand men.

But at present, it is too difficult to change the emperor.

The legitimacy of the apocalypse is unshakable, his father was what Donglin Qunxian fought for back then, and he, as his father's eldest son, is the undisputed heir to the throne in Confucian etiquette, unless he dies suddenly, it is impossible to change the emperor.

As for his sudden death.

This is also not so easy, in fact, the palace has been completely controlled by the nine thousand years old, and the Jinyi Guard has gradually completed the purge after replacing Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun, at least for the time being, the gentry do not have this ability. Then the Qingjun side has become the only choice, if you can use those toasts to raise troops on the Qingjun side, and kill Yang Xin on the battlefield and cut off this arm, it will be impossible for the apocalypse to imagine it now.

After all, the nine-thousand-year-old is not strong enough in combat.

Even if the apocalypse still wants to do it, it is impossible to fight those gentry in the local area, how many tax supervisors died during the Wanli period?

It's a big deal to keep playing.

But Yang Xin is different.

The force value is too high, and you can't fight at all.

In short, a new conspiracy is unfolding in secret.

And Yang Xin continued to move forward.

When he arrived in Xuzhou, he received the latest battle report from the Liaodong front.

Mao Wenlong failed to hold Sanyang after all.

Wild boar skin Yidaishan stayed behind to guard Hetuala, Huangtaiji guarded his uncle on the northern front, Mang Gurtai guarded the mouth of the Yalu River, and personally led an army of 40,000 to first cut off the connection between Sanyang and Liaoyang, and then attacked with all his might, and used a large number of newly formed Eight Banners North Korea and Furang machine and other artillery.

Mao Wenlong fought hard for half a month, and was finally defeated by Sanyang.

However, his main force was withdrawn.

He took more than 6,000 mixed legions composed of Cheng Jiannu, Korean and Ming troops, took advantage of a heavy rain to break through to the south, and fought again in Fengcheng with the intercepted Mang Gurtai, and finally left more than 5,000 people to go south, and retreated to Xiuyan that is, Xiuyan under the response of the cavalry sent by Xiong Tingbi.

During the entire campaign, Xiong Tingbi only sent Cao Wenzhao to lead the cavalry, plus Qin Bangping's white pole army, to form a rescue team of less than 10,000 people to go out of Fushun Pass to feint Hetuala, and fight again with Daishan in Sarhu. As a result, the two sides actually fought to a draw, the spear formation of the white pole soldiers and the elite cavalry team of Cao Wenzhao cooperated with each other, and after a fierce battle, they retreated because of the arrival of Jiannu reinforcements, but still brought back more than 300 heads.

Lose 500.

On the northern front, Jintaiji only symbolically sent 1,000 cavalry led by Zhou Yuji, plus Huang Degong's 3,000 cavalry to feint, but Huangtaiji adopted the tactics of attacking and harassing in the mountains and forests.

The Ming army also retreated after a short period of depth.

In short, the Battle of Sanyang ended, and the Ming army lost another fortress group in Liaodong.

In fact, Xiong Tingbi just didn't want the lonely fortress group of Sanyang, and to transport military supplies from Liaoyang to Sanyang, he had to travel hundreds of miles between the mountains and mountains. This is not like Kaiyuan, the latter has the Liao River water transportation, and the safety is the responsibility of the Mongolian cavalry of the fried flowers, and for Xiong Tingbi, there is no need to pay anything at all except for the freight paid to Yang Xin.

But Mao Wenlong couldn't do it there, all the grain had to be transported through the mountains.

It also had to be transported with arms.

In fact, what was snatched by Jiannu was no less than what Mao Wenlong obtained.

So Xiong Tingbi didn't want Sanyang for a long time.

He is now a mind to shrink, the scattered fortresses on the periphery can be abandoned, and he does his best to block the smuggling of wild boar skins, during this time, the Liaodong family has been arrested by him a lot, causing these families in Liaodong to complain about him.

And as soon as the autumn and winter and the spring season came, he lit fires everywhere like a madman, forcing the wild boar skin to scatter people and horses, and patrolling the mountains and forests when the wind was not right, but it had no effect at all, and later Xiong Tingbi also learned to use the modified version of Kong Ming lantern that Yang Xin taught him before. The angry wild boar skin simply sent someone to set fire to him, but the problem is that the core of the Ming army's control area is the Liaoshen Plain, where setting fire will not have any effect at all, in short, the two are like children playing with fire, fighting over who lights the bigger fire.

As for the purge of the Ming army......

That effect was limited, in fact, Xiong Tingbi had long since stopped calling him the 150,000-strong army and 90,000 horses of Ping Liaoce.

He also knows it's unrealistic.

And most of the generals hated him.

Because he was strict with military discipline, especially the generals who were paid empty salaries, he had beheaded several deputy generals during this time, and even the general soldiers had been dismissed several times, so the result was that although the situation in Liaodong gradually stabilized, he almost became a disliked ......

The number of impeachments against him is second only to the number of impeachments against Yang Xin.

After all, cutting off people's financial means is like killing their parents.

He severely cracked down on smuggling and cut off the financial route of the family, strictly investigated the empty salary and cut off the financial route of the generals, the civil officials were hostile to him, and the generals hated him, and finally he developed towards a traitor like Yang Xin. Fortunately, Tianqi and Jiu Qianshi are completely supportive of him because of Yang Xin's relationship, even if it is nine thousand years old, although Xiong Tingbi is not very respectful to him, this stinky temper is indeed difficult to change, but for Yang Xin's sake, he still basically responds to Xiong Tingbi's needs.

In short, this is the change in the battle situation in Liaodong, and it is unknown whether the wild boar skin will attack Yehe City after taking Sanyang.

"Mao Wenlong."

Yang Xin looked at the battle report with a deep face.

"Why did he go to Xiuyan?"

He said confusedly.

"There is a city in Xiuyan that area can be stationed, we are in the mountains in that area, in fact, we only control the land tribute road of North Korea in the past, this tribute road is from Zhenjiang City, all the way to the northwest to Liaoyang, and after the right acropolis of Dingliao to the south, there are no people, all are inaccessible mountains and forests, only Xiuyan City is lonely in the mountains. Jiannu cut off the road, Zhenjiang City is in the hands of Jiannu, from the Dingliao right acropolis south only this place to rest, in fact, it is not easy for Mao Wenlong to escape. ”

The brocade guard who had been following him said.

"This can't work, he is the chief soldier of Sanyang, and his duty is to contain the rear of Jiannu, he ran to Xiuyan City and contained a fart, prepare paper and pen, I want to give His Majesty a fold!"

Yang said.

Next to meow, hurriedly prepared pen and paper.

Yang Yanshi began to write a fold to Mao Wenlong in a very red sleeve style.

The meaning of Mao Wenlong's existence is to attack the lifeline of wild boar skin, but it is definitely useless for him to hide in Xiuyan City, there is also an attack on a fart, and people will block him in Fengcheng, so he must be allowed to establish another stronghold at the mouth of the Yalu River. Let him go to Phi Dao, and the apocalypse will force him to go in the form of a holy decree, and if he doesn't go, he will be punished for the crime of losing Sanyang, and if he wants to go, he will give him a Dongjiang general army to control the east of the Liaodong Peninsula.

He's supposed to go.

This person is still very meritorious.

He went to Phi Island to destroy this smuggling transit station first, and at the same time forced Li Hui to make a choice, if Li Hui let Mao Wenlong enter Phi Island, then the wild boar skin had to beat him again, if he did not let Mao Wenlong station, it would mean that he betrayed the Ming Dynasty, and the Apocalypse was justified in sending troops to guard his country.

Xu Guangqi has mentioned this question before.

But Li Hui always defended himself, and the officials in the court who supported the Jin merchants also exonerated him, after all, the Jin merchants needed this kind of trade. North Korea has silver mines, and they also produce a large amount of silver every year, all of which is bought by Li Hui to give wild boar skins as protection money, and then falls into the hands of Jin merchants and Jiangsu and Zhejiang grain merchants, who are reluctant to use this source of wealth.

So Apocalypse never really cared about that.

The main reason is that he and Yang Xin haven't taken care of the affairs of North Korea yet.

But let Li Hui make his position clear now.

Li Hui also stationed 3,000 troops on Phi Dao, and there was also his naval army, which was there to prevent Jiannu, who still occupied Yizhou, from going south, but in fact it was to protect this smuggling base and prevent the Ming army and sailors from landing and occupying this smuggling base. If Mao Wenlong wants to land on Phi Island, then as long as Li Hui's people resist, it will be confirmed that he betrayed the Ming Dynasty, if he does not resist, it means that this smuggling base is abandoned, and if the wild boar skin wants to continue to obtain smuggled grain, it must reopen a port.

And it has to be far from Phi Dao.

Because the Ming army will also use it as a base to station naval warships,

At least this smuggling base cannot be patrolled by the Ming Army's naval division, so there is only one option left in Pyongyang's Nampo Port.

But then Li Hui's true surrender is needed.

Because that means that the North Koreans must transport grain from Pyongyang to Shuozhou, three or four hundred miles away, this transportation line needs Li Hui to maintain it for him, and at that time Li Hui did not have the possibility of both ends of the first rat, such transportation has caught up with the original anti-Japanese time, Li Hui really thought that the Ming monarchs and ministers were blind.

Therefore, the wild boar skin must use force to make him truly and completely surrender, and cut off relations with the Ming Dynasty or even turn hostile.

So the battlefield once again turned into North Korea.

Wild boar skins have no other choice either.

Unless he was convinced that he could break through Xiong Tingbi's defenses and gain access to the grain-producing areas of Liaodong, North Korean grain smuggling was his only external source.

This is the bottom line of his food security.

Either go east to beat Li Hui, a soft persimmon, or go west to hit Xiong Tingbi's defense line, it is obvious that going east is the wisest choice, as long as he can turn to North Korea and delay for another year, basically he has no possibility of expanding to Liaodong again. Because Chen Yujie's fortress is already under construction, it will be able to stand on the bank of the Liao River by the end of this year at most, plus Jintaiji, which is pulled by Baiyin, a base that can dispatch 20,000 elites there will really be built.

Wild boar skin attacking Shenyang?

The cavalry over there had penetrated Hetuara from behind.

"It's fantastic!"

Yang Xin writes his memora while happily imagining the scene of the Wild Boar Skin's arrival in Korea.
