Please ask me to be the emperor

Just as Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo were preparing for a big fight in North Korea, Lu Xiangsheng also led his strange military battalion to Yizhou.

"How is the situation?" Lu Xiangsheng asked as soon as they met.

"It's a bit troublesome!" Yang Zhuguo frowned and said, "Liaoze is frozen, and the Tartar cavalry comes to capture Rufeng. We can't stop it or catch it!"

It turned out that since Zhang 311 people and others advanced from Guangning and Yizhou to Liaoyang, the two sides fell into a stalemate.

Duduo was not a fool, so he naturally dispatched as many cavalry as possible to cross Liaoze and harass the area from Yizhou to Niuzhuang in order to cut off the rebels' logistical supplies.

Among them, Niuzhuang, as a port, is the focus, followed by Yizhou and Guangning, and then other areas along Liaoze.

It is said that Bai Guangen's previous carelessness caused several ships to be burned down by Hou Jin's cavalry, which prompted Zhang Shun to personally order a reprimand.

"Fortunately, Duduo did not send an army to attack Niuzhuang, otherwise we would be in big trouble!" Lu Xiangsheng pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then gave his opinion from his own perspective.

Not to mention Lu Xiangsheng, even anyone with a discerning eye can see that the rebel army's logistics and supplies are now dependent on sea transportation.

Once Niuzhuang fails, Zhang Sanbai will be defeated without a fight.

"How come there isn't?" Yang Guozhu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "It is said that Duduo gathered more than ten thousand elite cavalry half a month ago and besieged Niuzhuang for more than ten days."

"In the end, it was Bai Guangen who ordered people to use gunpowder to blow up the ice on the river, and this allowed the Tatars to return without success."

It turns out that after winter entered Liaodong, not only Liaoze was frozen, but even the Liaohe River, Taizi River and Hunhe River were also covered with a thick layer of ice.

As a result, the originally tyrannical rebel navy had no place to use, and instead allowed the Houjin cavalry to attack frequently.

Hou Jin also knew that if the rebels could not be defeated this winter, then when the ice melted next year, the entire Liaodong would no longer be owned by Hou Jin.

Of course, Zhang Shun, Zhang Sanbai and others were not unprepared. Before the freezing period in Liaodong, they had prepared food, grass, cotton clothes, and repaired the city defense facilities to guard against the invasion of Hou Jin.

At that time, Hou Jin was very anxious to besiege Niuzhuang, and the rebels fought hard for several days without any result.

At this time, Bai Guangen stood on the city wall and found that the camp was divided into several places by the Liaohe River and the Yangliu River.

He couldn't help but have an idea, and sent dead soldiers out of the city at night, placed gunpowder on the river, and then detonated the gunpowder.

Suddenly there were explosions, and the originally solid river surface cracked, making it impossible to communicate with Houjin outside the city.

Bai Guangen took the opportunity to lead a fierce attack and defeated the Houjin soldiers who were trapped in Niuzhuang and the river, and finally solved the siege of Niuzhuang.

"How long can Bai Guangen hold on?" Lu Xiangsheng frowned when he heard this.

Now that the weather is freezing, Liaodong is indeed Houjin’s home court.

Now sitting idly by, Lu Xiangsheng is worried that Niuzhuang will be lost.

If Niuzhuang is lost, then Zhang Sanbai and his Liaoyang City will be in a situation of fighting alone.

"It's hard to say this, but I think it shouldn't be a big problem!" Yang Guozhu pondered for a moment and said, "Previously, the general took advantage of Duduo to send troops to attack Niuzhuang, and took the initiative to attack Duduo. He lost his armor and lost his armor. I still have lingering fears.”

"I guess after what happened, I won't dare to do it again!"

So cruel?

Lu Xiangsheng was stunned when he heard this. He never expected that Zhang Sanbai was so capable at such a young age.

Although Duduo's military use was not as sophisticated as that of Hong Tai and Dorgon, he was second only to the former two in the Later Jin Dynasty.

Now Duduo has 30,000 to 40,000 troops and horses, and Zhang Sanbai has 23,000.

He was actually able to defeat the opponent when Duduo allocated ten thousand soldiers and horses. He was indeed a character.

When I thought about it more carefully, I found that the commanders-in-chief of both warring parties were only in their early twenties, which made Lu Xiangsheng, who was only 36 years old, sigh with emotion, "I am really old."

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but ask: "How is the Tumote Department doing now?"

"Although he has repeatedly invaded the border, he is quite honest!" Yang Guozhu said with a smile, "Previously, Tumute, Kalaqin and other tribes joined forces with 4,000 Han soldiers, and Hesun Degong's 2,000 Han soldiers were killed by Bai Guangen and Hou Gongji. It’s going to be a big defeat.”

"Especially the Tumut left wing suffered heavy losses."

It turned out that after Na Hongtai completely defeated Huduntuhan, he successively surrendered the Haraqin, Tumote and other tribes.

Among them, the original Haraqin was divided into the left and right wings, and Tumut was also divided into two. One part stayed in Tumochuan, and the other part was moved to Yizhou and outside the border wall to the north and west of Guangning.

Among them, the left and right wings of Haraqin were roughly located in the area south of Chifeng, north of Chengde, and west of Jianchang in later generations, while the left and right wings of Tumut were located in Chaoyang and Fuxin areas in later generations.

Although the Tumut right wing located near Chaoyang still poses a threat to Jinzhou, it is not on the rebel army's way north, so leave him alone.

The one who really had an impact on Lu Xiangsheng's "surprise attack strategy" was the Tumut Left Wing Department located in the Fuxin area of ​​​​later times.

"I heard that King Zasak on Tumut's left wing is called Shanba, and he has 1,620 households under his command. I don't know if that's true or not?" Lu Xiangsheng heard this and continued to ask.

"Indeed, if we go by the past, we may not be able to dispatch more than a thousand cavalry, but most of them were lost in the previous battle!" Yang Guozhu estimated.

"Oh? Then you tell me if I give him a shot, will it work?" Lu Xiangsheng smiled.

"It's successful, but his troops are erratic and missing. Now that we are trying our best to deal with Donglu, how can we have time to worry about him?" Yang Guozhu frowned and explained.

The "three damn Shi brothers" were still clinging to Guangning, which made Yang Guozhu very angry.

It happened that Lu Xiangsheng came here this time, bringing ten more "Qingtian General Cannons". He was just about to vent his anger. How could he have the leisure to fight Tumut?

"Aren't you anxious?" Lu Xiangsheng smiled when he heard this, "Stop worrying about Guangning City. Sooner or later it will be in your pocket."

"This Tumut tribe is different. It is located just outside Guangning and Yizhou. If it is a critical moment, he will come to you; or after you finally capture Guangning, the three Shi brothers will take the opportunity to flee north. Aren’t you just falling short?”

"This" Yang Guozhu immediately began to ponder after hearing Lu Xiangsheng's words.

As Lu Xiangsheng said, the main reason why he is so interested in Guangning is because this is the "credit" left to him by Zhang Sanbai.

It’s just that it’s embarrassing enough that this “credit” has not been won after taking so long.

If the fight was finally over and the three Shi brothers were allowed to escape, that would be "going round and round" - embarrassing.

Thinking of this, Yang Guozhu couldn't help but nodded and said: "What General Zhengbei said is true, but this Tumut tribe is erratic. How can we find it?"

"Haha, just keep it in mind this time!" Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help laughing when he saw Yang Guozhu agreeing, "I have my own way to find it!"
