Southern Liaoning, Fuzhou.

Wanyan Yinshu sat in his seat with a gloomy face, not wanting to say a word.

In front of him, several of his subordinates were also crying with sad faces.

One of them cried: "Master, they have all gone to rob cattle and sheep, so let's stay here and wait for the Qi soldiers to fight, even if we hold Fuzhou, there is no harvest at all, how can we spend the winter?" ”

"What's the use of talking about this now" Another Meng An shouted: "It's not a matter to confiscate Chengdu now, the most troublesome thing now is the fugitive slaves!" ”

After the Qi army occupied Changsheng Island, it easily occupied the north and south letters, although each letter only had a hundred garrisons, and there were boats parked on the shore, looking like they could retreat at any time, everyone knew that that there was only two beacons.

But as long as the north-south letter still exists, it is equivalent to opening an opening in the south of Fuzhou, and the slaves of the Tartars in Fuzhou, as long as they break away from the Jin army blockade, will have the opportunity to escape to the Han people.

The Han people were not much better for the Jurchen aha than for the Jurchens, but it was certainly much better than the Jurchens for slaves.

Especially the Han Aha, as long as he escapes to Beixinkou, he is an upright person, why not try it, he has to be a dog for the Jurchens?

Therefore, since knowing that the main force went west to fight the Mengwu people, the fugitive slaves on the Fuzhou side have always continued, and it has only been less than two months, and the 5 Jurchen Meng'an under Wanyan Yinshu have escaped almost 1,000 people with 5 foreign Meng'an.

Moreover, half a month ago, there was an incident of a real girl Zhen Mouke fleeing en masse on his side, and this kind of humiliation happened for the first time after the founding of Dajin.

Wanyan Yinshu has not yet figured out how to explain this problem when the three princes in power come back.

"It's not because the master is not a clan!" A fierce man shouted without hesitation: "The third prince, they have taken away the strongest Mouke, and only threw the Mouke of Shaoerdai, who only has only a few dozen armored soldiers left, to us!" ”

"They are already hungry like monkeys, they know that they have to defend Fuzhou with us, and there is no way to loot, they will stay and wait for death!"

"That's enough." Yinshu can scold, continue to talk like this, and reach the ears of Zong Gan, Zong Wang, and Zong Bi, but it is even more unclear.

What's more, the people below don't know, how can he not know that in a small place called Fifty Zhai Station not far north of Fuzhou, another non-clan Jurchen Bo Ji Lie Wanyan Lou is leading five thousand true Jurchen iron horsemen to lurk quietly, waiting for Xu Shiyang's arrival.

Therefore, the three princes didn't let him fight the soldiers of Qi Province alone, he was actually just a bait, waiting here to fish the Qi army ashore, and then bite off a large piece of meat from the Qi army in one go.

But in the same way, if Yinshu can't complete the task of bait, Wanyan Lou will not be polite to him.

Yinshu himself understood this, so he did not communicate with his Meng'an, and leaked the general policy set at the Bo Ji Lie meeting.

In order to prevent an accident in the plan to lure the enemy, Yinshu even deliberately did not increase his efforts to stop the fugitive slaves.

But because of this, Yinshuke's subordinates are becoming more and more suspicious of the future, and the escape atmosphere of Fuzhou Aha is becoming more and more prevalent, and the slaves of all ethnic groups here.

Even some Jurchens thought that Dajin could not hold up at least in southern Liaoning, and it was better to find a way to switch to the more promising Qi Provincial Military Group.

The result was that before the battle was fought, Yinshuke's loss had already made him a little unbearable.

I only hope that if both sides can win, the three princes can give him more spoils and let him recover as much as possible.

……

After Xu Shiyang Zhang Mingyi returned to southern Liaoning, he immediately convened a military conference of all officers at and above the colonel level in Lushun.

All the officers in southern Liaoning, including Feng Sanhu, who was stationed on Changsheng Island, rushed over to attend the meeting.

At the meeting, Xu Shiyang asked bluntly:

"Do you want to fight Fuzhou? What do you guys think? Tell us what you think. ”

Xie Zhen, the commander of the Jingyuan Brigade, was the first to stand up and shouted: "Of course we have to fight!" Now there is only one Bo Jilie in Fuzhou, and our army will go out to destroy him directly, occupy Fuzhou, and the hundreds of thousands of acres of land around it are ours! ”

All the officers here have shares in the agricultural company, and the larger the territory occupied by the Qi army, the more land the agricultural company owns, the greater the income of these guys.

Therefore, fighting Tartar is not only about the benefits of military exploits, promotions, honors, etc., but also about real economic income.

Zhang Mingyi liked Xie Zhen's character very much, and he looked at this reckless brigade commander with appreciative eyes.

"It's still time to fight, it's a pity to give up such a good opportunity." Feng Sanhu of Zhenyuan Brigade was relatively cautious: "However, I always feel that things are not so simple. ”

Zhang Mingyi, who was extremely eager for meritorious service, immediately glared at him angrily.

Of course, Xu Shiyang would not do this, he said to Feng Sanhu: "Explain, where is it not simple? ”

"Fuzhou is an important salt producing area for the Tartars, and the people who surrendered say that the salt here is very important to the Tartars, and I don't think they will give up this side casually, but the whole army is dispatched to fight the Muguls - that little bit of cattle and sheep is absolutely not as important to them as salt."

"You're saying it's possible that the Tartars are waiting for us to take the initiative in Fuzhou?"

Feng Sanhu's words make sense.

The Tartars are not fools, they know what is more important to them.

How many things can you grab by going to fight the Mugul? What's more, the proportion of the Muguls riding horses is much higher than that of the Jurchens, and it is not easy for them to catch up if they want to run.

To do those thankless jobs, it is better to find a way to recover southern Liaoning and resume their own production.

"Do you think it's possible that the main force of the Tartars did not go to the grassland, but waited for us in Fuzhou?" Xu Shiyang then asked.

He also had this doubt, but he felt that this kind of thing could not be considered by himself and then solve the problem, and he had to cultivate the grasp of the battle situation among the commanders of the troops, otherwise what would the staff department do?

"I think the main force of the Tartars should go to the grassland, after all, we don't have definite news, and we won't attack rashly."

Feng Sanhu says:

"However, there are many Tartar cavalry, even if the main force goes west, it is not difficult to quietly leave a few thousand cavalry in Fuzhou, in that case, we may have to fight a field battle with a similar number of Tartars."

Since the formation of the new army, it has never actually fought a field battle with the Tartars, and all victories have been taken from defensive counterattacks.

Therefore, even the high-ranking officers of the New Army, who had won many victories against the Tartars, had great doubts about field battles with the Tartar army, which was equal in number or even superior.

What's more, in the main attack on Fuzhou, it is the Qi army that is attacking the city and the Jin army defending, and the opponent has a natural advantage in internal mobilization.

It is not difficult for the Tartars to prepare a cavalry ambush of several thousand people, and if the main attacking force is bitten by the enemy, the Tartars with a high proportion of cavalry will quickly return to the division from the Mongul, and it is difficult to say whether they will be surrounded by the enemy at that time.
