How to deal with the Haibei Army?

Wang Ke knew that this was a nearly unsolvable problem. Neither Wei Zhongxian was in the capital nor Nurhaci was in Liaoyang, he could solve this problem. The reason why Nurhaci sent people to Puzhou was to instigate these Kaizhou thieves to restrain the Haibei Army.

For Nurhaci, the success or failure of these Kaizhou thieves is simply irrelevant. As long as they can restrain the Haibei Army, everything will be fine. However, Wang Ke cannot tell these Kaizhou thieves this way. On the contrary, Wang Ke must make these Kaizhou thieves full of confidence.

"The elite soldiers of Haibei have been defeated by Jiannu many times. Not to mention ten thousand people, even 100,000 people cannot deal with the Haibei soldiers, but now you are not dealing with the elite soldiers of Haibei!"

That's right, the Haibei Army in Yanzhou Prefecture now has less than 5,000 people, and the best troops are just second-rate and third-rate troops of the Haibei Army. This is where the Zheng brothers' confidence lies.

But seeing that the Zheng brothers still lack confidence, Wang Ke had to play out his last trump card: "What's more, the key to winning and losing on the battlefield is the number of elite soldiers. If Guikun Zhong doesn't dislike him, I can help Guikun Zhong borrow a thousand elite border troops who are like arm commanding the rest of his life."

As soon as Wang Ke said this, the Zheng brothers had a clear idea. They even remembered a legend about the uprising of the Yinxiang Sect: "Are a thousand elite cavalry?"

The reason why the lotus demon was in trouble in Lu Nan was because he borrowed a large number of elite Liaodong army and hundreds of horse teams from Jiannu. If Wang Ke could help the Zheng brothers borrow a thousand Jiannu horse teams or Liaodong horse teams, then the Zheng brothers would have a chance of winning in this battle.

Wang Ke shook his eyes and said, "Please rest assured Guikunzhong. He is definitely an elite army in the world, please rest assured!"

Therefore, Zheng Hai had made up his mind over there: "If you can borrow a thousand elites, then we can go east to the canal and grab it for fun!"

The headquarters of the Zheng brothers has exceeded 3,000, but the real core force among these 3,000 people is only a thousand. They are not close relatives and friends of the Zheng brothers, but also a powerful family that has been used by the family. The Zheng brothers also use the most elite weapons, armored weapons and war horses to arm the core force. When they went into battle, they were all fearless and repeatedly defeated the official army brigade.

However, the Zheng brothers spent ten years to cultivate these elites. If they could obtain support from another elite of thousands of people from Wang Ke, they would naturally have several times more chances of winning. Wang Ke gave a certain elite: "The elite of these thousand people will never disappoint Gui Kunzhong!"

Zheng Hai has made up his mind: "In this case, let's get rid of Yao Xiaofang and Song Zhifu first!"

Now Yao Xiaofang’s detachment is stationed in Yanxi, and no matter which route it attacks, it will first solve Yao Xiaofang’s troops.

Moreover, when Yao Xiaofang first arrived in Caozhou, although he had recruited a lot of local military forces, Zheng Jiang and Zheng Hai felt that Yao Xiaofang had little capital and not many reinforcements, and it was just a second- and third-rate troops of the Haibei Army. As long as he defeated Yao Xiaofang's troops, he could mobilize thousands of bandits in Caozhou and sweep across the canal.

"Anyway, I have to take Yao Xiaofang first!"

The same conclusion came out of Liu Xingzuo's mouth, but his general asked: "Now we will start a war with Haibei Town?"

Although it has been a year since entering Xu Huai, Xu Huai has not recovered its vitality from the Yellow River breach. Liu Xingzuo's force is still very fragile. Even with Yao Zheng from the Xuzhou Guard Corps, Liu Xingzuo's generals still lack sufficient confidence.

The last time that Haibei Town sent troops, Cao Pu mobilized 20,000 elite troops, and Liu Xingzuo just took out all his family's assets, which was only 5,000 people. Most of them were new recruits, and their combat effectiveness was very weak. What would you do to fight the Haibei Army to the death?

But Liu Xingzuo said bluntly: "Although we cannot share the same situation with the Haibei Army now, it is no problem to deal with the Haibei Army."

Liu Xingzuo's generals all breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they were told not to confront the Haibei Army head-on on the battlefield, they would have to wait at least half a year before they had a chance. Now the war with the Haibei Army is definitely a dead end.

But everyone was very interested in how to deal with the Haibei Army, and someone immediately asked: "How can we deal with the Haibei Army?"

"Yes, we can't start a war with the Haibei Army. Could it be that we were sending troops to Xiazhen to force the Haibei Army's water patrol team to transfer to the south?"

"I just don't know how many pirates in Haibei can restrain!"

Seeing that the generals were all lacking confidence, Liu Xingzuo laughed: "You are thinking too much. If you think so, are we suffering in Xu Huai now? Someone came to us and let us make a quick and quick money. Will you accept it?"

Some people who are particularly smart have already thought of it: "Are you all Zheng Jiang from Kaizhou? Brother Zheng Hai wants to borrow some swords, guns and cannons from us?"

"Although it was not the Zheng brothers who came forward in person, someone made a move and said that the Zheng brothers were preparing to go to the canal to do a big deal, so there were a large number of unworthy people in our army carrying bows, archers, guns, guns, armor and war horses to join the Zheng brothers!"

"This is a good method!"

Someone immediately responded: "We must make this quick money!"

Why do you want to make such quick money? Naturally, Liu Xingzuo's troops are already a little embarrassed!

The Xuhuai area suffered a broken dam that had not been seen for decades. It can be said that it was extremely difficult. But now Liu Xingzuo and Yao Zheng are fighting for resources. Although Liu Xingzuo has spent all his efforts, he cannot support this army.

Moreover, Liu Xingzuo's troops have now expanded from 700 to 5,000 people. It can be said that even the resources of the entire Xuhuai area cannot support a Liu Xingzuo's troops, let alone two troops squeezed in.

Therefore, Liu Xingzuo could only place all his hopes on foreign players, but whether it was Zheng Zhilong or Henan and Shanxi, the support from Shanxi was always just a drop in the bucket, and at most it could only barely maintain Liu Xingzuo.

Now that the Zheng brothers are doing this big deal on the canal, they are supported by famous families in Henan and Shanxi, so they propose to borrow troops from Liu Xingzuo.

Since they proposed to borrow troops, not only will the lent troops pay all the money and grain expenditures of the lent troops be borne by them, but they also need to pay the corresponding price of borrowing troops. At that time, the money and grain can be continuously supplied. Under this circumstance, Liu Xingzuo's life will suddenly become more abundant.

Not to mention that Xu Huai has suffered a broken Yellow River that has not been seen in decades. Although 800 people were lent out, as long as you have money and food, you can immediately add up. Therefore, Liu Xingzuo's generals reached a consensus as soon as they borrowed: "Only the number of troops that should not reach two or three thousand, they can be borrowed!"

"There are only one thousand people there, and they also borrow gunners and various Western artillery from us!"

Liu Xingzuo said proudly: "People can borrow it, but how much Western artillery and gunners lend it depends on their sincerity!"

Speaking of this, Liu Xingzuo directly expressed his thoughts: "Anyway, they helped us raise thousands of people, so where can we find such a good thing! If the Zheng brothers can make a situation on the canal, we can also go north along the South Canal and take down Yanzhou Prefecture!"

"Of course the key to this matter is when Haibei Town will be willing to win and lose with Jiannu!"

Now Nurhaci has given the best answer to Liu Xingzuo's question. He said excitedly: "The two strengthening groups in Haibei Town have boarded the ship to the Ryukyu Kingdom, and Wang Ke has gained a lot between Cao Pu!"

For the Jurchen Beller and Taiji, this is really exciting news.

The Haibei Army now has more and more territory, but there are more and more places that need to be divided into troops. Yanzhou Prefecture has at least four or five thousand people, and the three eastern prefectures should also have 10,000 people. The original garrison of the Ryukyu Kingdom and the North Korean Kingdom was no less than three thousand. Now the Haibei Army has supported three or four thousand people to the Ryukyu Kingdom, which means that since the Great Jin Army cannot rest assured to Ningjin and Shanhaiguan, the number of troops being restrained by the Haibei Army is relatively limited.

Now the Guanning Army of Ningjin has initially restored order. Although the victory of the Battle of Liuhe made the Jurchen Beile and Taiji very happy, they finally found that the Guanning Army was most fragile and could not collapse on its own. On the contrary, after repeated desperate situations, the Guanning Army has become accustomed to this desperate situation. Now the Ming Dynasty is doing all its efforts and resources to rebuild the Guanning Army.

Although the border troops of Ming Kingdom seem to be extremely unbearable to fight, Jiannu also had to admit that once the Guanning Army is allowed to rebuild order and force, it would still cause a fatal threat. Therefore, Huang Taiji below immediately said: "Father Khan, since the Haibei Army has already dispatched troops to Ryukyu all under the control of Father Khan, let's go into Beijing City in one breath and then decide the victory and defeat with Liu Xiaozhe!"

"good!"

With Nurhaci's order, in the first month of the sixth year of the Tianqi revelation, except for the main forces of the two red flags who continued to stay in southern Liaoning, most of the Jurchen army's inner Niulu, outer Niulu, Han soldiers, and Mongolian flags all crossed the Sancha River in a mighty manner.

For the Great Jin Kingdom, they hoped to repeat the brilliant victory of the Liaoshen Battle and the Guangning Battle, but even Nurhaci did not expect the battle to go so smoothly and would achieve such amazing results.

"The Ming army left us 300,000 stones of food?"

"That's right, a total of 300,000 stones of grain."

Although the Ming army was defeated and even the cavalry of Jiannu did not catch them, the cavalry of Jiannu had unexpected gains. They found that the Guanning Army had left 300,000 stones of grain in Youtun, and in addition to this, there were a large amount of forage, beans, weapons and other military supplies, which could be said to be available.

In order to transport the 300,000 stones of grain, the Ming Dynasty could be said to have tried every effort, and the food consumed even exceeded the 300,000 stones in stock. However, before the Jin soldiers arrived, the officials of the Ming Dynasty had already fled, but left all the 300,000 stones of grain in Youtun to Nurhaci.

Nurhaci didn't expect such an unexpected gain, but he felt that he already knew the end of this expedition to cross the river east: "The destiny of heaven is in gold, and this is God helping me!"
