Ding Yiyang was originally a figure in the martial arts world, but he is still full of bandits, but Yao Xiaofang felt that his words were very impressive: "Well, we all eat the food of the Liu family. If it weren't for Liu Shuai, how could Yao Lanfang have the chance to stay in Yanxi? So no matter how Cao Wenheng was trying, even if Commissioner Ding gave me an order personally, without Mr. Liu nodding, we would never withdraw from Caozhou even if one soldier or one soldier."

Ding Yiyang also knew that Yao Xiaofang was a celebrity in front of Liu Peng. Yao Xiaofang came back this time and blew up his separate meeting with Liu Peng several times, so that everyone knew that he not only had the relationship with Yao Changgong, but also had the right to go straight to Tianting.

Therefore, he also worked very hard in front of Yao Xiao: "The captain is right. Not only can we not retreat, but we also have to prepare for westward and northward. The captain of the detachment has found out the incident you asked me to investigate this time!"

The reason why Yao Xiaofang appointed Ding Yiyang as the squadron leader of the security squadron was that he could follow the clues through Ding Yiyang's relationship and find out the real mastermind behind these Cao Pu bandits. You should know that Ding Yiyang is not only a local from Caozhou, but also has a history of becoming a local bandit. It is the most appropriate choice to let him fight poison with poison.

Therefore, when he heard Ding Yiyang say that the matter had been found out, Yao Xiaofang immediately asked: "Who is the brave man against our Haibei Town? As long as I catch it, I will send him on the way immediately!"

Ding Yiyang immediately said happily: "Mr. Liu is right. Such a big case cannot be handled by the Miao family in Ningling. We followed Mr. Liu's idea and found that the Miao family in Ningling and the Jun family in Suizhou during this period. Yuan Fuyuan also told us that these two families have little relationship with the Fan family in Yucheng!"

Yuan Keli is a native of Suizhou. Since he said that the Ningling Miao family had a very close contact with the Suizhou Feng family and the Yucheng Fan family, the mastermind behind this matter was definitely the hometown officials of the three families Guide Mansion. Yao Xiaofang just asked: "What is the origin of the Suizhou Feng family?"

"This year's new Jinshi, but before he became a Jinshi, he was even more arrogant than the Miao family in Ningling. He took both black and white. I don't know how much blood debt there is in the local area. Anyway, as long as the Suizhou Feng family gave the order, it could mobilize thousands or even tens of thousands of people!"

Yao Xiaofang had a long-term understanding of the political ecology that Henan is different from Shandong. In fact, even Caozhou was influenced by Henan and the power of the township officials was very strong. He just said: "Ten thousand people? I only have one battalion of people!"

Ding Yiyang lowered his voice and asked, "Captain, you really have to be cautious about this matter. Never mind! If you fail, you can't explain it to Mr. Liu."

Although he was a thief, he had been with Yao Xiaofang for so long and knew that the Haibei Army was not as good as an ordinary bandit group. Yao Xiaofang had only the power to lead a small number of troops slightly over the boundary. The power of leading such a whole battalion suddenly entered Henan was far beyond Yao Xiaofang's authority.

But Yao Xiaofang sneered: "These local old men in Henan dare to go against us in Haibei. I let them know what it means to seek death. They can pull out thousands or even tens of thousands of people. I can destroy their entire family with one camp!"

Ding Yiyang couldn't help but get anxious, but he knew that he couldn't persuade Yao Xiaofang, so he could only find a solution from other aspects. Yao Xiaofang confidently explained to Ding Yiyang: "Squadron Ding, please go to Guide Mansion to find out the matter clearly, and arrange it again. We have to cut the mess quickly!"

Ding Yiyang felt that this matter was inappropriate. At least Commissioner Ding Gong did not nod in this matter. Even if Yao Xiaofang wins a great victory, it will be difficult to recover. He could only retreat first and consider how to solve this problem.

But the next day he found that this problem didn't need to be solved at all, because the strategic situation of the entire Haibei Town had undergone brand new changes.

Strictly speaking, Yao Xiaofang received two urgent military information reports of 100,000 yuan, and ordered Yao Xiaofang's detachment to immediately move into a defensive situation to prepare for combat. Not only did he withdraw from Caozhou, he asked Ding Gong to withdraw a small battalion from the Yanzhou Guard Corps to support Caozhou. In this case, Yao Xiaofang had no choice but to give up his plan to advance to Guide Mansion.

As for these two military information reports, the first one was related to the Guanning Army. Now the Liaodong General Gaodi and Ningqiandao Yuan Chonghuan have completely broken their faces. Gaodi advocated the withdrawal of all the passes, while Yuan Chonghuan demanded to continue to stick to the Ningjin defense line as a minister of Ningqiandao.

Although Gao Yi repeatedly ordered the entire army to retreat, Yuan Chonghuan always regarded Gao Di's order as a warning. Gao Yi was angry and ordered Ma Shilong to force his troops to withdraw, but Yuan Chonghuan forced the troops on Ningyuan's front line.

Now the Guanning Army can be said to be in a completely different way. No one knows who should listen to the orders, and it is in chaos, which gives Jiannu the best opportunity to cross the river and advance eastward.

Another military information notice was directly related to Haibei Town. The Japanese shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu sent someone to send a letter to the King of Ryukyu Zhongshan, demanding that the Haibei army immediately withdraw from the Ryukyu islands and establish a tribute relationship between the Shang family and Japan.

If the Haibei Army refused to retreat, the Tokugawa Shogunate general referred to the example of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's conquest of the dynasty and sent 130,000 troops to conquer Ryukyu. At that time, it would naturally be "a swept with iron sleeves", and the Haibei Army's troops in Ryukyu Kingdom would become a muddy powder.

Although Yao Xiaofang did not think that the Tokugawa shogunate had such a spirit and dared to send 130,000 troops to conquer the Ryukyu Kingdom, he also knew that regardless of whether the Tokugawa shogunate and Japan had such spirit, Haibei Town must be prepared to increase its troops, and that at that time, it would definitely be necessary to mobilize troops to reinforce the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Under this situation, the strategic situation of Haibei Town will completely change, and Yanxi, as a newly opened small war zone in Haibei Town, will inevitably bear the brunt of it, and there is a high probability that it will become a war zone, so it ordered the Yanbei Guard Corps to send a small battalion to support it as soon as possible.

"It seems that I am ready to fight a war."

The same problem was also placed in front of Liu Peng. The conflict between Liaodong General Gaodi and Ning Qiandao Yuan Zonghuan was beyond Liu Peng's expectations, but the letter from the Tokugawa shogunate sent by someone made Liu Peng frown!

Although he knew that Japan could not send more than 100,000 troops to conquer Ryukyu like Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the threat from Tokugawa clan was indeed there, and Ryukyu would definitely compromise, otherwise he would definitely suffer huge losses.

When Liu Peng thought of this, he made up his mind: "No matter what, the Ryukyu side must first reinforce the troops. Now the two reinforcement battalions have too few troops!"

According to Jiang Zongyun's statistics, the total strength of Haibei Town in Ryukyu Kingdom is only 1,300, including two reinforced battalions of the army and two hundred navy troops. Although the Edo side cannot send more than 100,000 troops to conquer, the problem is that Japan does not need to send 100,000 troops at all. Even if it sends 10,000 troops, the more than 1,000 troops in Ryukyu's Haibei Army will not be able to resist.

Although the Haibei Army had 120,000 confidence and felt that the Haibei Army could defeat the few with few, the Japanese pirates were not weak, and only they had the absolute advantage in military strength, the Haibei Army would inevitably end up being frustrated.

Moreover, the manpower and material resources that the Tokugawa shogunate could mobilize were too terrible, even surpassing the Tokugawa Hideyoshi back then. If the shogunate was really determined to conquer Ryukyu, not to mention the army of more than 100,000, even 200,000 could mobilize.

It was the first time that Zhong Yumao, who was opposite, saw this situation. He felt that Japan and General Tokugawa were too rude and did not take the Celestial Kingdom seriously: "That's right, we must increase our troops. We thought that a letter of state would give up the troops without fighting, and would force our Haibei Town to retreat from Ryukyu? These Japanese pirates underestimate our Haibei Town!"

However, Jiang Haotian's expression became a little nervous: "But the question is that Jiannu may cross the Liaohe River at any time now. Is it more appropriate for us to reinforce how many troops we have?"

If the reinforcements are fewer, they may be dealt with by Japanese pirates together with the original Ryukyu forces. If the reinforcements are too many, it will not only affect the combat operations of Liaodong, but it will also be difficult for the Ryukyu Kingdom to afford the cost of this large army.

And Liu Peng had already said: "First send two small battalions to fill up two thousand people. I think Japan can send tens of thousands of soldiers? We have these two thousand war soldiers, which is enough to gain a foothold in Ryukyu!"

Zhong Yu immediately understood what Liu Peng meant: "Mr. Liu meant that the letter from Japan sent this time was a fraud?"

Liu Peng shook his head and said, "Since it was the King of Zhongshan who had specially checked it, this letter of nationality must not be fake. However, the Tokugawa Shogunate is dedicated to locking the country. How could it be that it could launch a large army of more than 100,000 for a small Ryukyu? I'm afraid that we will see what we have to react. If we are too weak, I'm afraid that Shimazu's family will make big moves next!"

Although the letter from the shogun himself was sent, Liu Peng believed that the incident was due to the conspiracy of Shimazu. Without the instigation of the external daimyo, Shimazu, the shogunate would not have had such a fierce reaction.

Then the Shimazu family's attitude is worth paying attention to. After all, the Shimazu family is a foreign daimyo that the Tokugawa shogunate focused on attacking. Moreover, at such a critical moment, the shogun issued such a tough letter to the country, and there was no conspiracy behind it. Liu Peng really didn't believe it.

And Jiang Zongyun had already understood: "Mr. Liu said that there was a collusion between Jiannu and the Japanese pirates? Then why not take down Zhenjiang City this time!"

Now Jinzhou and Fuzhou are both controlled by the Haibei Army. Although Jiannu also controls a long coastline, if Jiannu wants to contact the Japanese pirates, starting from Zhenjiang seems to be the best choice.

But Liu Peng shook his head and said, "The Jiannu is not the Jiannu of the past, and Zhenjiang is not the Zhenjiang city that Mao Wenlong can take down just a few dozen people."

Although Liu Peng did not support the capture of Zhenjiang, Jiang Zongyun still insisted on his opinion: "If our Haibei Army concentrates its main force, there is still a great chance to capture Zhenjiang City."

Before Liu Peng could speak, Zhong Yuzheng said over there: "That's just a great opportunity. The key is to figure out what conspiracy is behind this? I think it's not just a Shimazu clan who wants to stab us in Haibei Town in the back."
