Chapter 916 Xiong Yueyi
Even for the entire Great Jin Kingdom and the tens of thousands of soldiers dispatched in full swing, 300,000 stones of food is still an amazing number.
If there were no 300,000 stones of food seized intact, the Jurchen soldiers must transport food from Liaoyang and even further away in the rear, in addition to squeezing them on the spot. After seizing 300,000 stones of food, the Jurchens were not worried about food problems throughout the battle, and they could still rely on this batch of food to support for a long time after the battle was over.
And the more gratifying situation is that according to the front line Rangers, the Ming army also hoarded more food and other military supplies on the front line. As long as the Great Jin soldiers acted quickly enough, they could seize a large amount of materials that could be used for one or two years in the entire Great Jin Kingdom, and even attack the strongholds of Jinzhou and Fuzhou with seized Western artillery.
Now that Ning Qiandao, who has newly added a censor, Yuan Chonghuan still tries to defend Ningyuan City, but Nurhaci thinks that Ningyuan City is just like paper. The only question is whether Liu Peng, who is in Jinzhou, has indeed sent the two strengthening leagues to the Ryukyu Kingdom?
However, even if there are two additional strengthening groups, Daishan, who guards Haizhou and Gaizhou, will definitely have a foolproof ending.
However, before the battle began, Liu Peng had already obtained everything he wanted. Eunuch Han Shun and Han handed Shangfang's sword over in front of the civil and military officials of Haibei Town: "Mr. Liu, from now on, you are Governor Liu. Although you have been tossing for more than a year, Han is lucky to be unfair to his fate!"
Liu Peng immediately laughed: "This matter can be accomplished, thanks to Han Sili and Wu Fuyuan. If the two of them had not done their best, they would not have been able to get the position of the Governor of the Jinzhou for another ten years."
Just as Yuan Keli planned for Liu Peng, Liu Peng is now "advising military affairs and governing Jin, restoring the four guards and raising the titles of Dongchang, Dongsheng, Yaozhou, Lianbanggu and other forts."
Although it was not a governor's position, the Jindu Fuzhi was set up in accordance with the Yunyang Fuzhi system. Moreover, Liu Peng also changed from "the general of the vanguard, General Yin, General of the Left Army Governor's Office" to "the right capital of the Censor's Office", and changed from a military position to a top civil servant.
As the saying goes, the name is not justified, and the Ming Dynasty always emphasizes literature over military affairs. A Taoist minister can often mobilize general officers, while the governor of Jinzhou is already a serious imperial envoy. In addition, the Shangfang sword in Liu Peng's hand can take advantage of anyone who doesn't like him, and he can take action before reporting. Liu Peng can complete a leap in his life.
Wu Zhiwang over there heard that he was named by Liu Peng, and immediately stood up and said, "You are so polite, you and I will be colleagues in the future, I just follow the flow!"
Now Wu Zhiwang is Governor Denglai, responsible for military affairs between Denglai and the East, while Liu Peng is Governor Jinzhou, and his jurisdiction is roughly "Jin, Fu, Hai, Gai Four Guards and Dongchang, Dongsheng, Yaozhou, Lianbanggu and other forts". The theory of Wu Zhiwang is one level lower than that of the governor Denglai.
But in fact, Liu Peng is already an assistant minister of the Right Chief of the Censorate, and Wu Zhiwang is also an assistant minister of the Right Chief of the Censorate, but he is the same level as Wu Zhiwang. However, while the court agreed to open the Jinzhou tutoring, he also added Wu Zhiwang a title of Right Minister of War, which was finally slightly higher than Liu Peng. However, Liu Peng's real power had already surpassed Wu Zhiwang many years ago.
However, although his status is more prominent in comparison, Liu Peng smiled and said, "Wu Fuyuan is so polite. Without you and Yuan Fuyuan, Han Sili will help you deal with it, how could you be Liu today? Your kindness will never be forgotten in your life!"
Although he knew that Liu Peng was a polite word, Wu Zhiwang felt that Liu Peng was right. He immediately said, "You are so polite. Even if Wu doesn't help, who dares not give Mr. Liu the position of Jinzhou to the Jinzhou tutor? Your position can be justified!"
But Wu Zhiwang also knew what the problem was. The court gave Liu Peng a name for the Jinzhou Fuzhuan. It would be strange if Haibei Town and Liu Peng were not separated from each other. But he could only do his best to do his best: "Jiannu was about to be in Ningjin. Young Master Liu was already the Jinzhou Fuzhuan holding the Shangfang sword. I wonder when he would send troops to Haigai?"
Liu Peng laughed: "Of course, we are sending troops now. Should the Wufuyuan go to Gaizhou together?"
Wu Zhiwang immediately replied: "I don't have to go over and add pressure to Mr. Liu. Just let go of the command. Anyway, Mr. Liu has the final say in this matter!"
Just saying this, Wu Zhiwang asked another question: "By the way, Mr. Liu, I heard that a famous Thai doctor from the Institute came to Deng Yuhan, who can live dead people with white bones?"
Liu Peng knew that it was too rare for both Yuan Keli and Wu Zhiwang to cooperate with him, especially Wu Zhiwang has an unparalleled interest in medical skills and even better than arresting power. Therefore, he was naturally willing to cooperate with Wu Zhiwang: "It is too exaggerated to say that it is a living dead man with white bones, but Deng Yuhan is a famous Western master and has created a lot of new things with Longkou General Hospital."
Wu Zhiwang immediately said, "It's great to create new things. I'm going to learn it myself to see what's magical about Thai Western medicine."
Although there are indeed many major progress between Deng Yuhan and Longkou General Hospital, and Dengzhou Hospital cannot keep up at all, this matter is not worthy of Wu Zhiwang solemnly bringing up and even studying in person. Liu Peng understood that this was Wu Zhiwang and said that he had completely left Liu Peng to take charge of this northward entry into Haigai. As long as the Haibei Army can advance northward, he can give the court an explanation.
As for victory or defeat, it is not something that Wu Zhiwang can interfere. The generals of the Haibei Army were very pleased with Wu Zhiwang's attitude. They were afraid that these Fuyuan people would come to the front line in person, and then many shameful things would be exposed, which would not be a good thing for both sides.
Liu Peng has made specific arrangements: "Wu Fuyuan just sit in Denglai with confidence. Please just hand over the military service to Liu!"
Speaking of which, Liu Peng gave the first order to the general of the Haibei Army: "Take Xiong Yueyi down for me!"
Xiongyue Post is a key point of Guanma Avenue in northern Gaizhou. As the name suggests, this place was originally a post station near the avenue, but later expanded into an important military fortress. When the war broke out in Liaodong, Xiongyue Post became the focus of competition among many parties. The original small square city was fully expanded at the first time and eventually turned into a large military fortress.
The Haibei Army once occupied this place, but the Haibei Army not only did not take any of Haizhou and Gaizhou in the Battle of Haigai, but on the contrary, it threw away Xiong Yueyi in the counterattack of Jiannu. Jiannu, who was advancing south, recruited troops and civilians to expand Xiongyue City and stationed troops, making this place an important stronghold for Jiannu to go deep into Fuzhou.
The offensive of the Haibei Army first started from Xiong Yueyi, and the battle became extraordinary from the beginning. Li Xiuwei couldn't help but frown: "So many Jiannu vanguards!"
Although I have had many experiences in fighting with Jiannu, the number of Jiannu racquets that appeared near Xiongyueyi was surprisingly large, and they were all real elites in a hundred battles. The cavalry of the Haibei Army still lacked some heat compared to these elite cavalry, so they suffered some small losses in the battle.
Liu Peng, who was personally visiting the front line to supervise the battle, also looked at the Jiannu cavalry that appeared from time to time and said, "Nurhaci was naturally prepared to cross the river and advance eastward. We should not be careless. We cannot make any mistakes we have made in the Battle of Haigai!"
In the last battle of Haigai, the Haibei Army suffered a great loss because it was not well aware of the enemy situation, and the total number of staff was reduced by more than 3,000. Now, even a small Xiong Yueyi, Liu Peng felt that it must be taken seriously by a hundred times. Li Xiuwei immediately said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Liu, we will definitely take Xiong Yueyi in the shortest time!"
Liu Peng shook his head and said, "Don't be too full. I will attack again this time. There are only two requirements for our Haibei Army. The first one is to take Xiong Yueyi back..."
Xiong Yueyi was originally the defense zone of the Haibei Army. However, in the last battle of Haigai, the Haibei Army was forced to shrink its defense line and threw many of the middle areas of Xiong Yueyi, Fuzhou and Gaizhou to Jiannu. This is also a very regrettable thing that many Haibei Army officers and soldiers felt. Therefore, Liu Peng's request was reasonable, but it also made Li Xiuwei and other Haibei generals feel very stressed.
It’s not because the task is too heavy, but because the task is too light. If Xiong Yueyi cannot be taken down, this is called how the Haibei Army explains to the people of the world. Therefore, Li Xiuwei immediately asked: “What is the second requirement?”
Liu Peng smiled, but his expression became extremely serious the next moment: "Kill Jiannu, Jiala, from Jiala, Niu Lu'erzhen to the soldiers below, no one can run away!"
Li Xiuwei has already understood that the main purpose of the Haibei Army this time was not to capture any of Haizhou, Gaizhou or Zhenjiang City. On the contrary, it aimed at annihilation of the main force of Jiannu's field battle.
So Liu Peng was determined to capture Jiannu's Jiala and wipe out it out. On the surface, there were only five Niulus in one Jiala. The last battle of Fuzhou, the Haibei Army severely damaged and annihilated more than twenty Niulus in Jiannu's Jiala in one go. But the problem is that many Niulus in the Battle of Fuzhou actually escaped most of the troops at least half of the troops, not as Liu Peng asked to wipe out all the entire annihilation.
However, Liu Peng's requirements are not high. The Haibei Army mobilized so many elite main forces to come up. If even five Niulu can't solve it, the Haibei Army will be faceless. Therefore, the Haibei Army officers, including Li Xiuwei, unanimously said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Liu, you will definitely complete these two tasks successfully!"
After having the goal, the Haibei Army became more and more active, especially the cavalry and scouts frequently dispatched, and repeatedly had fierce conflicts with Jiannu's vanguard. Although the losses were significant in the battle, further precise intelligence was obtained.
