As soon as he heard Yuan Chonghuan suddenly say that he understood, Ma Shilong almost jumped up: "Duyuan, what do you understand? Tell us, we are ready!"

Yuan Chonghuan sneered: "I'm afraid Governor Liu wants to decree and enact in North Korea, so he asked the court to allow him to act cheaply in North Korea!"

For Guanning Army and Haibei Town, this is a very sensitive matter and has a great risk. Therefore, Yuan Chonghuan thought about it and felt that Liu Peng's so-called "cheap act" must be related to the abolition of the Korean king. Only by supporting a new Korean king can the investment in Haibei Town be rewarded.

When he heard Yuan Chonghuan say this, all the Guanning generals present were stunned. Zhao Rujiao said over there: "Governor Liu is too brave. This is a major event to depose the King of Korea. Even the Ministry of Rites may not be able to make the decision! He is just a mere governor, so dare he have such courage?"

But Zhao Rujiao Gang said this, and Man Gui had already said: "There may be problems with other foreign vassals, but North Korea is different. If Governor Liu really wants to depose the North Korean national jade, it will definitely be legitimate, and it can even be said to be correcting the situation!"

When Zhao Rujiao heard Man Gui say this, he already understood that the current reign of North Korea, Li Jue, was quite unreasonable. He overthrew Guanghaijun and Li Hui to power through coups.

The Ming Dynasty was very dissatisfied with Li Qiju's ascension and almost accepted it with a nose. If Liu Peng sent troops to North Korea and then pulled Guanghai Jun out to ascend the throne, in the eyes of the court and all the ministers, it would not only be unreasonable, but on the contrary, it was simply to make things right.

Therefore, Zhao Rujiao immediately asked: "The former North Korean King Lee Hung seems to be still alive?"

Yuan Chonghuan directly answered his question: "It is indeed still alive, but he was exiled to Jeju Island, but Governor Liu wants him to be restored, he can be recalled from Jeju Island at any time."

This is already a matter of the internal affairs of North Korea, but now, the core figures of the Guanning Army present have become extremely serious.

Zhao Rujiao said there: "I believe Governor Liu has such courage. After all, he has always been brave. I heard that the Grand Marshal of Nurhaci of the Jin Dynasty went to Haibei. Governor Liu not only did not know that he had accepted the Grand Marshal Abahai without authorization, but even flew with this Grand Marshal Abahai to the old slave and wore a cuckold!"

This incident was a huge scandal for both the Ming Dynasty and the Jianzhou Jurchens, so few people know the inside story.

However, these core figures of Guanning Army obtained the exact information at the first time. Apart from lamenting that Liu Peng was so brave that he didn't take the imperial court seriously, everyone could only drool. At most, it was just a few words about Liu Peng when he talked about this matter at this time.

"Well, since Governor Liu dared not say hello to the court, he would accept Abahai and take him as his concubine. It would be even more difficult to depose the King of Korea!"

Yuan Chonghuan immediately replied: "I have to remind North Korea about this matter so that they can understand that Governor Liu is not good at this time, so they must be careful!"

Even though he said that, Yuan Chonghuan could not actually deal with Liu Peng and Haibei Town, so Zhao Shujiao said with dissatisfaction: "What else can I do besides notifying the North Korean country? Is Governor Liu who wants to act cheaply, and we have no way other than agreeing?"

Yuan Chonghuan is a dignified governor of Liaodong, and in theory, he is the general leader of the Liaodong War Zone. Everyone thinks that his power is extremely great. If Liu Peng wants to trade and abolish the King of Korea, with Yuan Chonghuan's status, how could he be able to bury a pit for Liu Peng to jump down? Haibei Town will be in an extremely passive situation at that time.

In fact, Yuan Chonghuan thought so, but he quickly rejected this tempting suggestion: "The most important thing now is how to rescue North Korea. Our Guanning Army is now busy building cities in Linghe and Jinzhou. How to rescue North Korea can only rely on Haibei Town. So Governor Liu wants to depose the King of Korea, so let him go!"

Speaking of this, Yuan Chonghuan sighed. Although he knew that if Liu Peng re-released Guanghaijun or supported a new king, it would not be a good thing for the Guanning Army, especially the Guanning Army might be forced to stand up for Haibei Town to support Liu Peng in rescue of North Korea, he was forced to do so due to the situation.

His actions to negotiate peace with the Later Jin Dynasty were unanimously opposed by the court and the opposition. Whether it was the minister of the Liaodong General King, other officials, or even most eunuch party officials, everyone believed that the peace with the Later Jin Dynasty was to seek skin with the tiger, and the end result was that the Ming Dynasty was not worth the loss. Now the prophecy of these people was about to be realized. Once North Korea and Dongjiang collapsed, the Guanning Army would be in an extremely unfavorable strategic situation.

Especially when the Mongolians on the grassland saw that there was a possibility of peace talk between Mingjin, they directly said harsh words, "You Han people are all brainless. You only say that we will not help soldiers all day long. You carry a lot of gold and silk to your own house, and ask for peace for him. If you teach others to be enemies with him, we should not be as good as we surrender." These things said by Mongolia have now become well-known through memorials by the ministers of the Liaodong General King, so that Yuan Chonghuan is almost at the point where everyone is shouting and beating him.

Now that the Guanning Army cannot send troops to rescue North Korea, Yuan Chonghuan can only place all his hopes on Liu Peng and Haibei Town. He continued to tell these core generals of the Guanning Army: "No matter how messing around Haibei Town is, it is just a mess in North Korea. It is not the place of the Ming Dynasty after all. As long as he can restrain the Jiannu for a few months, and when we successfully build the city, everything will be easy!"

The generals present also understood that since they wanted to send troops to rescue North Korea, they had to be given the name of Liu Peng. Zhao Shujiao had already asked: "Master Fuyuan, can you take this opportunity to hit Haibei Town?"

He still felt that he would take the strategy of winning over and attacking Haibei Town, and Yuan Chonghuan also followed his tone and said: "Give them some dessert first, and then beat them slowly..."

But how did they both attack and divide Haibei Town? Yuan Chonghuan and the generals of Guanning Army still couldn't find a clue for a while. What's worse, when they had a little clue about this just now, an unexpected news came from Lushun.

The Haibei Army's attack on Haigai was frustrated, and the troops suffered heavy casualties!

According to the information obtained by the Guanning Army, due to the heavy casualties of the troops, Haibei Town seems to have given up its plan to rescue North Korea, so Yuan Chonghuan suddenly became anxious: "Tell Governor Liu that no matter how many days it is, as long as Haibei Town is willing to continue to rescue North Korea, I can agree to any conditions!"

Now Li Xiuwei frowned. Just yesterday, he thought about taking advantage of this opportunity to attack Haigai to perform well so that his troops could be legitimately integrated into an infantry brigade, but today he was considering how to reduce casualties during the attack.

Speaking of which, the losses were generally not large. Although this attack on Haigai used a large number of troops, Liu Peng adopted a cautious strategy, just like Li Xiuwei's troops were actually a small infantry brigade. In addition to Li Xiuwei's Changyi regiment, there was also the Fuzhou regiment, which was the same source as the Changyi regiment. In addition, there was only one reinforcement battalion that actually participated in the frontal attack.

Li Xiuwei naturally took out the best infantry battalion under his command to take on the main attack mission and was equipped with a very gorgeous lineup. He thought that even if he could not take down the Jiannu camp in front of him, he could win a great victory with the rich experience of the Changyi regiment in the attack.

The result was that Jiannu's defense line was solid, complex, and firepower density far exceeded Li Xiuwei's expectations. Li Xiuwei finally knew what Huang Taiji was in attacking the Nanshan defense line. The Pioneer Battalion fell into Jiannu's dense fire net without even taking down the first line of defense.

Not only did Jiannu pull all kinds of light and heavy guns and artillery weapons seized by the Ming and Haibei Army over the years to the defense line, but also built countless gun holes, gun holes and other fortifications. As a result, the Haibei Army was attacked by Jiannu's firepower regardless of whether it was advancing or retreating, and soldiers were constantly shot and killed.

In the past, Li Xiuwei only looked at Jiannu's ability to win the field and was disdainful of their ability to use firearms. However, today he had to admit that Jiannu was too good at learning wars in wars. Whether it was the hive-like defense line or the ability to use firearms, or countless gun holes, cannons, or other deployments, they were said to be of the highest level of the Haibei Army.

Although the Haibei Army is also known for its garrison and has experience in how to quickly build a defense line, there are still not many ways to break this honeycomb-like defense line.

The final result was that the vanguard battalion suffered heavy losses, especially the main attacking company suffered more than 50 casualties and was forced to abandon some of the wounded and corpses. The entire company was forced to retreat and could only serve as the battalion reserve. The other companies and assisted units also collided in front of Jiannu's trenches and were bleeding.

Although there were only more than a hundred casualties, Li Xiuwei felt that the Jiannu on the opposite side had been completely renewed. Even if the troops and equipment were increased, it was still difficult to break through the Jiannu defense line in front of him. He could only ask the staff officer next to him: "How is the situation on the Black Mountain Regiment?"

"The situation is worse than us. Jiannu's firepower is too dense, but you also know that Ji Jinsi is a tough guy and is unwilling to retreat at any time. As a result, nearly 300 people were injured and killed in the entire regiment and were forced to stop the attack!"

The Changyi regiment was forced to stop the attack after only more than 100 casualties, but Ji Jinsi's Black Mountain regiment stopped the attack after nearly 300 casualties. The loss was almost twice that of the Changyi regiment. And it was Liu Peng's personal order that Ji Jinsi finally stopped the attack.

Just when Li Xiuwei heard this news, he became sensitive: "Who did this line of defense come from?"
