Chapter 1143: A dilemma
Guo Xingning rode on horseback with a gloomy face, looking at several gray-clothed riders who stopped on the dirt slope in the distance. From the moment the Ming army led by him arrived in Jijia Town, these gray-clothed men haunted the troops in the vicinity of the troops, obviously monitoring their own movements. According to the information they have, these people should be subordinate to the Haihan Army stationed in Fushan County, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as unscrupulous when they dare to appear in front of the Ming army so rampantly in broad daylight. Even the Wan Jiajun, who used to be the overlord of the soil in this area, would generally avoid it far away when they saw the Ming army dispatching, how dare they easily make such a provocative move.
Guo Xingning also ordered his cavalry to drive these probe horses several times, but the effect was really not good, as soon as the cavalry came out of the ranks, Haihan Tanma turned around and withdrew, and the distance between the two sides was two or three miles, and it was difficult to catch up with each other. But as soon as he withdrew his troops, Haihan would appear in the eye again, which really made him disgusted.
Guo Xingning also tried to quietly divide a part of the scout cavalry before setting off early in the morning, and wandered away from the team, in order to force the Haihan scout horse out of a longer distance. However, the opponent gathers and scatters, and often suddenly assembles at a certain node, forcing the scout cavalry he sent back backwards. This way from Dengzhou City to Fushan County, the two sides have been fighting in the air, but the Haihan people obviously have a slight advantage, because the Ming army really has no way to completely block the other party's reconnaissance measures, it can be said that their own forces and direction of action have been exposed in advance.
For this operation to Fushan County, if it weren't for Liao Jie's insistence on sending troops, Guo Xingning actually didn't want to wade into this muddy water at this point in time. Although the three of them had agreed to try to deal with the Haihan people who had settled in Fushan County, the news sent back by Shangguan Ye after he arrived at Qishan Qianhu showed that this matter was very difficult, and it was far from being as simple and easy as they imagined.
Before Shangguanye went to Fushan County, almost all of their knowledge of Haihan came from Liao Jie's brother Liao Xun from Zhejiang through letters, although Liao Xun also mentioned in the letter that "the Haihan army ships are strong and invincible", "they have fought in southern Xinjiang for several years, and they have never heard of defeat" and other statements, but Liao Xun's news is also from hearsay, and he has no experience in confronting the Haihan army on the battlefield, so it is difficult for the military information he provides to be very convincing.
However, how the Haihan people are good at collecting money and how they spend money like dirt, this information makes the three people of the Dengzhou military very concerned. They subconsciously regarded Haihan as a fat sheep that could be slaughtered ruthlessly, and intentionally or unintentionally ignored that Haihan still had a strong army in his hands that was piled up with money. They had never seen the battles of the Haihan army, nor did they think that the descriptions mentioned by Liao Xun at the beginning were true, but only that the Haihan had opened the way with money in order to be unimpeded in the southern coastal state capitals. So at the beginning, Liao Jie sent Shangguan Ye to Qishan Qianhu to sit in the town, and did not equip him with many troops, but Shangguan Ye was dumbfounded after arriving in the local area, Haihan had at least a thousand armed personnel stationed in Zhifu Bay, and he didn't even think about going up to Zhifu Island with this little people, so he didn't know where to start.
