Chapter 152 Quickly withdraw

Hearing Zhang Tianlu say this, Haoge becomes full of confidence: "I have studied Liu Yongxi, a little thief. The little thief's favorite is beauties, especially remembering other people's wives. Since this is the case, we can just give it to his own interests. If it really doesn't work, I will offer a few little concubines to let Mingguo make all the money in this matter!"

Zhang Tianlu thought Haoge was just making a fuss, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that Haoge might be successful. After all, no one knew what the habits of Emperor Chengtian were like: "In addition to women, we can also consider gold, silver and jade. King Su was right. As long as it was a human being, there would definitely be shortcomings, and we just need to meet their preferences!"

Although this was just a private conversation between Zhang Tianlu and Haoge, the news soon spread. Everyone thought that these princes of the Qing Dynasty, Beile, were standard barbarians, were actually ready to sacrifice their concubines to achieve success. Although Haoge was talking about "little concubines", everyone deliberately omitted "little concubines" to "little concubines".

Whether it was the Southern Dynasties or the Northern Dynasties, this incident was always rumored, but Liu Yongxi was very happy when he heard this news: "It seems that Jianlu must have returned from defeat this time, so there is no need to work for the empresses to follow me in person!"

Queen Zhang immediately asked, "How can Your Majesty see that Jianlu will be defeated?"

Liu Yongxi said very clearly: "Haoge is also a famous general among the famous generals in the Qing Dynasty, but now we are beaten so hard that we actually want to use women to please me, while the Qing Dynasty uses Haoge to guard Shandong. This only means that no one is available to Jianlu!"

Although many princes and Beller of the Qing Dynasty regarded Dodo, Haoge and Daishan as the culprits of a series of failures, they had to admit that Dodo, Haoge and Daishan were all tiger generals in the Qing Dynasty. If Haoge, Duodo, Daishan could not withstand the Ming army's offensive, then no one in the Qing Dynasty could handle the Ming Dynasty's offensive.

Now Haoge, who is guarding Shandong, is not trying his best to reorganize his army and prepare for war, but is preparing to fool Liu Yongxi by offering beauty or even his wife. This can only show that the southern defense line of the Qing Dynasty is no different from paper. Queen Zhang laughed when she heard this: "I knew that Xiaoxi was not such a boring person!"

Liu Yongxi also laughed: "Even if I fall in love with Haoge's concubine, I have to grab it back with my own hands. How could I fall into Haoge's beauty trap? But I have more motivation for this Northern Expedition!"

Although he has no interest in Haoge's concubine, Beijing now has a beauty that makes Liu Yongxi excited.

For the front commanders of the Ming army of Yue, this widely circulated news also made them full of confidence: "It seems that Jianlu's energy has indeed been exhausted. What a person Prince Su is like? Now he also thinks of shameless things like giving his wife and daughter to seek honor. This Northern Expedition is an achievement that God rewards us, so we must not miss it!"

The person who spoke now was not someone else, but Xing Shengping, the governor of Anhui, Tianmen, and Wang Puxiang, who was beside him, immediately replied: "I ran to the north once in person. Now the front line is almost all the Green Camp soldiers. Even the Eight Banners Han Army is useless. It is indeed a good opportunity for heaven!"

Although Wang Puxiang felt that he should not be the opponent of the Eight Banners Han Army when he was in a decisive battle, the problem was that since the feudal states became increasingly vain, the princes of the Qing Dynasty, Beile, had considered the territory under his jurisdiction very carefully, and almost all distributed their troops equally, but the territory was taken away by others.

The result is that in this almost absurd situation, the troops deployed on the front line are almost all Green Camp soldiers and the New Affiliated Army. Although there are some camps with good combat effectiveness, they are similar to those of the Ming Yue army. Therefore, Xing Shengping said: "Since this is the case, let's go to Henan with all our might and leave it to His Holiness to solve it!"

There are only the remnants of defeated soldiers led by Haoge in Shandong, while there are Ajige's field corps in Henan. If we compare each other, it is naturally more difficult for Ajige to deal with, but Wang Puxiang likes this challenge: "As long as we kill the southernmost Green Camp soldiers and the new affiliated army, Ajige will be greatly injured!"

Although Ajige's core force is the Eight Banners Army and the Outer Vatican Mongolia, the number of these elite troops is limited. Once the Green Camp soldiers collapse and the new affiliated army collapses across the board, Ajige will be trapped in a full-scale siege of the Ming army.

Xing Shengping also felt that such a start was almost perfect: "No matter how many camps Ajige deployed in the south, we can eat as much as these green camp soldiers and the new affiliated army!"

Wang Puxiang was also excited: "Eat all! Not only will the Qing army be eaten, but Caozhou also be eaten!"

The "Caozhou" he mentioned is naturally the "Caozhou thieves" such as Zuo Menggeng, Liu Zeqing, and Liu Liangzuo. In the eyes of the Qing Dynasty, they are also "Caozhou thieves" who are temporarily valuable in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty. As long as the Qing army is wiped out, they will solve the "Caozhou thieves" who have repeatedly rebelled and surrendered. Whether Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, and Zuo Menggeng can save their lives depends on whether they are conscious or not.

Xing Shengping immediately laughed: "The thieves in Caozhou will be dealt with sooner or later, but we cannot be too hasty now. Now we will not only take down the territory south of the Yellow River, but also take down the territory north of the Yellow River!"

As the governor of Anhui, Xing Shengping was ready to join the 63rd Battalion of the Horse and the Northern Expedition, and was preparing to mobilize twenty to thirty battalions. However, among the Northern Expedition Army, the 60 battalions invested in Anhui could only be regarded as partial divisions. Whether in Huguang or Xuzhou, the Ming army of Yue was ready to invest more than 200 battalions, and even the Hanzhong direction was ready to invest nearly fifty battalions.

The army of more than 500 battalions launched an offensive almost at the same time, and their opponents were not the elite Eight Banners elites, but the Green Camp soldiers with weak combat power. The New Affiliated Army not only did Henan Ajige use the Green Camp soldiers and the New Affiliated Army as cannon fodder, but the Qing army in Shandong and Shaanxi were also the same.

The first phase of this Northern Expedition almost replicated the scene of Duoduo's southern expedition. It was already the most elite troops in the Qing army. After most of the Qing army found that the Yue Ming army had the advantage in both military strength and combat power, they changed their banner without hesitation. Many green camp soldiers even acted as the vanguard of the Yue Ming army. Therefore, within a few days, the Ming army was unstoppable, annihilated, defeated, and surrendered the Qing army.

And all the princes, Beile was not prepared for this. When the news of the sudden attack by the Ming army of Yue launched a sudden attack to Jinan, Haoge thought it was the soldiers of the governor of Huai'an, Wang Zhiren: "Wang Zhiren is not afraid. Although the Ming Kingdom sent him to support the thieves of Caozhou, as long as I lead the army south, I can naturally easily solve Wang Zhiren's troops!"

Although Wang Zhiren surrendered to the Jinhua thieves very early, his troops were only as good as the elite Ming army, so he was beaten by Zhang Tianlu, Dong Yuan and Zuo Menggeng. He also brought this history into hatred and always wanted to send troops to cooperate with the Caozhou thieves. Emperor Chengtian Liu Yongxi also agreed that Wang Zhiren's troops could launch a tentative offensive and seize several prefectures and counties from the Qing Dynasty.

However, since the two sides had a very sincere negotiation, Wang Zhiren's advance was naturally in a temporary state, so Haoge really thought it was Wang Zhiren's attack.

He had no confidence in how to fight with the Ming army of Yue, but there were a hundred ways for elite Ming army like Wang Zhiren. Moreover, the reason why southern Shandong only let the Green Camp soldiers and the New Affiliated Army defend was naturally to wait until Wang Zhiren was exhausted and then suddenly went south with the elite Eight Banners to defeat Wang Zhiren in one fell swoop.

But the messenger who came to report the news said very clearly: "This time the invasion of Shandong in northern China is by no means Wang Zhiren's troops. Zhang Boyi, Zhang Huangyan, Wang Zhiren, and Xing Shengping's troops have all arrived, and the total force should be no less than one hundred battalions!"

However, the messenger who came to report the news thought he had already said the situation was very serious, but he did not expect that the Yue Ming army invested far more than one hundred battalions, but reached an unprecedented 200 battalions, and 200 battalions were put into horse stance on both east and west lines.

But the news of more than 100 battalions scared Haoge: "How come there are so many soldiers? Isn't General Zhang Tianlu guarding Yizhou?"

Although Zhang Tianlu spent all his efforts to rebuild his troops and recruited many soldiers and soldiers, his resources were limited after all, so so far, only more than 3,000 troops under Zhang Tianlu were under his command, but this was already the most highly anticipated military force in the south.

Even if the combat effectiveness of the other troops can be expected, they will fight against the bandits near Caozhou. When they think of the elite troops of more than 100 battalions of the Ming Dynasty in Yue came over like a tide, Haoge no longer cared about rescuing Zhang Tianlu, and only hoped to recover the dozens of Niulu armored soldiers near Caozhou.

The messenger's report also solved Haoge's worries: "Admiral Zhang Tianlu is ready to withdraw from Jinan, but he was killed by a rebel general as soon as he left Yizhou. There are dozens of Niulujia soldiers near Caozhou!"

This is also a problem that Haoge is worried about. In order to suppress the Qing Dynasty in Caozhou, he has invested heavily. Now there are 30 Niulu armored soldiers and more than 60 battalions of green camp soldiers near Caozhou.

Although these Niulu and the camp head are seriously inflated, each Niulu often has no more than fifty soldiers, and even one Niulu has less than thirty soldiers. Even if there are less than 100 soldiers, even if there are less than 100 soldiers, even if there are coats, slaves, and servitude, the so-called 60th battalion green camp soldiers are only more than 10,000, but this is already all the troops that Haoge can fight for, and many Niulu and the camp heads are under Haoge's name.

But now the sudden attack of the main Ming army made Haoge lose his soul. He said without hesitation: "Order the royal army near Caozhou to retreat quickly and retreat at all costs. As long as it can be withdrawn, no matter how many troops it loses, retreat quickly, we will wait for them on the north bank of the Yellow River!"
