"What?"

Yang Xin subconsciously exclaimed.

This result was completely unexpected, in his opinion, Xiong Tingbi's chances of winning were indeed not great, but if he really lost, he would not lose so badly.

That's an army of 80,000.

And under Xiong Tingbi's rectification, the problem of empty salaries in the Liaodong army has been greatly reduced, and he even had trouble with the military department for this problem before, and the deputy general alone beheaded two, and the general was impeached and removed from his post by him, and the general beheaded more than a dozen with Shang Fang's sword, although it is impossible to put an end to it, but there will never be a situation where Liu Wei's 60,000 army went to Salhu, and the eunuchs with the army secretly reported that it was actually 20,000.

The army of 80,000 must be at least 60,000 or more.

And the elite is exhausted.

Chen Ce's 20,000 Sichuan army.

It contains 5,000 white pole soldiers led by Qin Bangping's brothers and 3,000 Zhejiang troops led by Qi Jin.

The latter has been following the Sichuan army because he has cooperated with the Xiangjiao before, and Xiong Tingbi has not split them up.

This legion, with Chen Ce as the general soldier and Tong Zhonghua as the deputy general, was the one that Yang Xin had the most high hopes on the battlefield in Liaodong, but because they had no cavalry, and all the chariots and firearms of the Zhejiang army, they were transported north by water at Sancha Pass, and after arriving, Zhao led the cavalry of the Ministry of Education as a cooperation.

The commander is still Chen Ce.

At this time, the wild boar skin was already attacking Kaiyuan.

It's just that Chen Yujie retreated to the forts of Laomiwan, and the wild boar skin wanted to attack, but the five thousand Yehe cavalry led by Delgrad and the three thousand cavalry of Zhou Yuji in Zhenbei Pass would reconcile, and he wanted to attack Chen Yujie, and these people would go south to threaten his back. And if he solves these people first, Huang Degong and the cavalry of the Zai Sai Division, who arrived first, will attack his back from Lao Miwan, but these add up to only about 20,000 people, so Xiong Tingbi's strategy is to strengthen Chen Ce's troops to them.

In this way, the infantry and cavalry have formed a strategic group that can flank Jiannu.

And Xiong Tingbi led Cao Wenzhao's 5,000 cavalry, which was also the elite directly under his Liaodong Economic Strategy, plus Hou Shilu, Liu Kongyin, Jiang Bi, and Qi Bingzhong's four general army units, and went north by land from Shenyang.

This road is dominated by cavalry.

And the wild boar skin dispatched 40,000 banners of Manchuria, plus 10,000 banners of Korea.

He is basically this number, because his logistics can support an attack of 50,000 people, and his logistics will not be able to supply any more, and it is a short-term attack, without the plunder of war to feed the war, he cannot support a large-scale offensive for three months.

This is the belligerent forces of both sides.

And Xiong Tingbi plus Mongolia and Yehebu, as well as Kaiyuan's Zhao Rate, in fact, the number of troops should be 100,000 on paper, twice the size of wild boar skin, and in fact it must be at least one and a half times.

You can't lose this without making a childish mistake.

And yet he was killed?

"Shot in the back."

Cao Wenzhao took a deep breath, and then said with a look of hatred.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?"

Yang Xin was relieved, and then sat down and said.

That's right.

Xiong Tingbi was definitely not shot in the back while escaping, but only by being shot black on the battlefield, with his style of acting in Liaodong, this kind of thing is not a strange thing.

He's hated.

In the past two years, he has harmed how many generals who cannot continue to eat empty salaries, and how many Liaodong families who cannot smuggle.

"The wild boar skin is also divided into two routes, led by Dai Shan 20,000 Jiannu on the south bank of the Qing River to meet Chen Ce and other troops who went south, and he himself led 20,000 Jiannu and 10,000 North Korea to meet us in Zhonggucheng, just after the war Hou Shilu was a little unstable. He really has more than 2,000 Liangzhou soldiers in his hands, most of the others are newly recruited in Liaoyang, the main generals are Bao Chengxian and Zhu Shichang, these two people do not work hard in the war, and they think more about self-protection on the battlefield, Xiong Jingluo had to send me with my subordinates to attack reinforcements.

But immediately afterwards, Jiang Bi's Liaoxi troops were defeated.

Xiong Jingluo personally went to stop it, and in the chaos, a group of Jiannu cavalry suddenly rushed in, and the Liaoxi soldiers couldn't stop, so Xiong Jingliu had to retreat to the Chinese army

But then he fell off the battlefield and fell off his horse.

After being rescued by the soldiers, they will take it with me.

After that, all the divisions were defeated, but fortunately, at this time, the north road defeated Daishan, and the wild boar skin did not care about the pursuit, and hurriedly returned to rescue Daishan.

I took Xiong Jing to the west along the Liao River north, and was received by Chen Yujie with Mongolian soldiers to his new fort, where to check and found that the bullet was fired from behind, and at that time it was already breathing, Chen Yujie said that he would report to Governor Yuan, but Governor Yuan did not dare to guarantee how to show His Majesty, so he asked me to rush south, and asked you to rush immediately. I learned in Haizhou that Chen Ce had withdrawn to Laomiwan and that the defeated armies had retreated into Shenyang, and it was not known whether the wild boar skin would attack Shenyang, but Dai Shan was said to have suffered great losses on the northern front, and Haizhou had been able to see Governor Yuan deliberately issuing a great victory to stabilize the people's hearts. ”

Cao Wenzhao said.

"Whose soldiers are Jiang Bi's men?"

Yang Xin asked.

Jiang Bi is a native of Yulin and a general soldier of Ningxia to aid Liao.

The core of his subordinates must be his own family, but this kind of family is nothing more than a few hundred people, and the other is a small number of recruits from Ningxia to aid Liao, who previously replaced Li Guangrong to guard Liaoxi.

Then the most subordinates must still be the recruits in Liaoxi.

"He guarded Guangning before, this time in addition to the Ningxia Army of the headquarters, there is also Sun Degong, the Liaoxi Army led by Zu Dashou, and the first to be defeated was Sun Degong's department."

Cao Wenzhao said.

"In other words, this person is the most suspicious."

Yang Xin said.

"It should be, he is a confidant of Wang Huazhen of Guangning, and Wang Huazhen is the most dissatisfied with Xiong Jingliu among the civil officials in Liaodong, but the price of their move is too great, Xiong Jingliu died like this, and the emperor must investigate it strictly to the end, even if there is no evidence that Sun Degong did it, he was the first to defeat on the battlefield, so as long as he investigates, he will inevitably be responsible."

Cao Wenzhao said.

"Behind him is Wang Huazhen, and behind Wang Huazhen is the Donglin Party."

Yang Xin said.

He already understood what was going on.

In addition to offending too many people, Xiong Tingbi's death is probably more to make Liaodong erosive, and then transfer him to the north without time to clone, and he doesn't care about continuing to fight with the gentry in the pass, to put it bluntly, it is he or the little emperor behind him who is really dealing with him.

"Brother Zhennan, I'll leave it to you here, the wild boar skin is estimated not to continue to attack Kaiyuan, but will return to the division to deal with you, and at this time it is estimated that the news has been obtained, you immediately organize the military and civilians to withdraw to Phi Island, and the imperial court will set up Dongjiang Town next, with you as the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang, leading the military affairs in this area. Shen Yourong's Denglai Naval Division will be responsible for your military supply, Jinzhou Wei is under his control, if the Korean army on Phi Island does not withdraw, then you can do it, my Dangkou Army and Sun Yuanhua's new army will be responsible for sending you to Phi Island, and then they will retreat.

In the future, if you need anything, send someone to Gegu to find my people.

They will give you your fold directly to the emperor, and you can also trade with the Koreans, which will not be legal but no one will interfere, but it is forbidden to sell them a grain of grain.

Of course, arms cannot be sold.

Other cotton, tea, silk and the like are just fine.

In addition, my sailor battalion will stay on Phi Dao as a sailor to help you train the navy, and then these warships and the original battleships of Lushun will be given to you, my men will withdraw, and your people will take over the Dongjiang Naval Division, and then the whole of Korea will be within your patrol range, and you can sink any ships smuggling into North Korea. In short, my requirements for you are very simple, first, enter the Yalu River, the first is fifty taels for the first Jiannu person, and the rest will not need me to teach you, and second, I will not allow a grain to be transported to North Korea.

Including legal ones.

What the North Koreans bought in Dengju with normal trade, you can sink it too.

Of course, other merchant ships can also smuggle, you can smuggle, and others smuggle that is robbing your business. ”

Yang Xin said.

"But what if the court condemns it?"

Mao Wenlong said.

After all, North Korea is still a vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

There was still a lot of legal grain trade between the two sides, and the imperial court allowed Korean merchants to trade in Dengju, including grain, and the merchants who operated this trade route had people behind them, and his side would definitely attract a siege from these people immediately. Yang Xin actually let him act as a thug because he couldn't officially cut off trade, but this is a good thing for him and his subordinates, they can smuggle, but others are really robbing their silver if they engage in trade.

"Will there be condemnation if I am there? Don't worry, everything I do is discussed with the emperor, do you think I will let you do this without the emperor's nod? Besides, I'm afraid that Jiannu will have to enter North Korea next, if we don't save it at that time, Li Hui can only surrender Jiannu, he has betrayed the Ming Dynasty, and of course he is no longer eligible to enjoy the treatment of his subordinates. ”

Yang Xin said.

This round of wild boar skin's offensive is actually over.

Xiong Tingbi was just a windfall for him.

Not surprisingly, at this time, he had already received the news, and returned from the front line to rescue the back, after all, Yang Xindu had already cleared Kuandian, if the Korean army continued to watch from the wall, the Ming army could even go all the way to Tonghua along the Yalu River, then it would really enter his heart. Along the Yalu River, Yang Xin's previous river boat can sail all the way to the foot of Changbai Mountain, and along the Hunjiang River, it is easy to reach Tonghua, and the whole voyage is estimated to take more than ten days even if it goes upstream.

It is impossible for the boar skin to leave this side alone.

And he didn't harvest any food to survive the winter.

And after Mao Wenlong took control of Phi Dao, his smuggling supplies were also cut off, in this case, if you don't want to starve to death in winter, there is no other choice but to attack North Korea, and the Ming army will definitely not save Li Hui, just lost a Liaodong strategy There are enough reasons, and in the end Li Hui can't hold it and can only surrender the wild boar skin. As soon as he surrendered, North Korea immediately became a traitor to the Ming Dynasty, and then Mao Wenlong's blockade of them was reasonable and legal, and the final result was that North Korea rebelled and overthrew Li Hui.

Anyway, they're making trouble over there!

Yang had to hurry up and clean up those guys who dared to make trouble for him.

"Let's go, Mah, these bastards are forcing Lao Tzu to kill!"

Yang Xin got up and said.
