"Oh my, congratulations to the Commander-in-Chief for your humble position. Congratulations to the Commander-in-Chief. Unexpectedly, the Commander-in-Chief has already defeated the Eight Banners of the Manchu Tatars at the foot of Songshan City in western Liaoning! This is really, really gratifying, gratifying and congratulatory!"

After Yang Zhen landed on the island, Hu Dabao accompanied Qiu Zhenhai, Yu Liangtai, Li Lu, Yang Shen and others to direct various people to unload supplies and choose a place to set up camp, while Yang Zhen himself took Yuan Jin, Zhang Chen and others.

Accompanied by Hu Changhai and Gao Chengyou, they arrived at Hu Changhai's camp on the mountain in the northeast corner of Changxing Island.

Along the way, Hu Changhai and Gao Chengyou reported to Yang Zhen the situation on Changxing Island, the situation in the Fuzhou City area across the bay and the Jinzhou City area in Jinzhou Bay to the south. Naturally, Yang Zhen also told them about it.

The great victory in Liaoxi just achieved.

At this time, the news of Yang Zhen's victory in western Liaoning had not yet spread. After the Manchu Tatars withdrew across the Daling River, they slowed down their retreat. They recruited troops from various banners and had not yet returned to the rear area. They were on the island at the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula.

Hu Changhai, Gao Chengyou and others had no idea.

They originally thought that Yang Zhen took advantage of the opportunity when the Manchu Tatars mobilized a large army to attack western Liaoning, leaving the rear of the Liaodong Peninsula empty, and repeated his old tricks again, avoiding the real situation and attacking the fictitious, and attacking the Manchu Tatar enemy lines. However, they did not expect that Yang Zhen and his party actually

I came here just after winning the great victory in Liaoxi.

So when Hu Changhai and Gao Chengyou heard the news of the great victory in western Liaoning, they were surprised and delighted for a moment. At the same time, they also felt sincerely glad for their decision to join Yang Zhen.

What surprised them was that in just over half a year, Yang Zhen's Songshan army had such strength.

What made them happy was that since the Manchu Tatars had been defeated and suffered losses in western Liaoning, they might be able to stay at the southern end of the Liaodong Peninsula for a while, allowing them to spend the winter safely and breathe a sigh of relief.

Of course, what makes them feel very fortunate is that they expressed their surrender before Yang Zhen achieved this great victory in Liaoxi? Not after this great victory in Liaoxi.

Although this situation lasted only more than a month, the effects of the two were very different.

While the two were surprised and happy, Hu Changhai took the lead in congratulating Yang Zhen.

"That tenth Prince of the Manchu Tatars is quite famous? In June and July, he came to Changxing Island to pursue us? Unexpectedly, now, he has fallen into the hands of the governor and has become a prisoner under the governor's rank!

"The ancients said that the barbarians will not have a hundred years of luck? Now it seems? This is absolutely true! Moreover, judging from the humble position, this sentence belongs to the governor. In the future, he will pacify the captives and restore Liao Dynasty, and he must be the governor.

!”

After Hu Changhai congratulated Yang Zhen on his victory in western Liaoning, Gao Chengyou also complimented Yang Zhen immediately, and the level of compliment was much higher than that of Hu Changhai.

As soon as Gao Chengyou said these words, everyone present, including Yang Zhen, burst into laughter.

Yang Zhen is most worried about Hu Changhai and Gao Chengyou, who are still at odds with each other and have two minds. So what he wants to see most and cares about the most is the attitude of the two of them to surrender to him.

Hu Changhai and Gao Chengyou seemed to realize this, so their words revealed that only Yang Zhen was following his lead.

Yang Zhen was very satisfied with this.

Yuan Jin, who was following Yang Zhen, originally wanted to recruit two former colleagues, Hu Changhai and Gao Chengyou, to join him, but they refused.

Now, at this moment, even he himself has become one of Yang Zhen's subordinates, and Hu Changhai and Gao Chengyou naturally have no possibility of joining him.

And he simply gave up the idea, and played the drums for Yang Zhen on the side, telling Yang Zhen's unconfirmed achievements in the great victory in western Liaoning, including killing Prince Daishan of the Manchu Tatars and injuring him.

Prince Su of the Manchu Tatars, Hauge, and so on, also spoke out one by one. Hu Changhai and Gao Chengyou were dumbfounded and clicked their tongues.

These achievements that Yang Zhen has achieved are things that people like Hu Changhai, Gao Chengyou and others dare not even think about. Fortunately, they are all under Yang Zhen's command now. If Yang Zhen becomes prosperous, they will naturally rise with the tide.

When they heard about the achievements of Yang Zhen and others in western Liaoning, they were also happy.

After everyone joked and laughed for a while, they saw Hu Dabao leading Qiu Zhenhai, Yu Liangtai, Li Lu, Yang Shen and others to Hu Changhai's camp. All the generals gathered at once and the formal discussion began.

"Everyone, the Manchu Tatar army has been defeated in western Liaoning. Their army has withdrawn and has not returned. At this time, southern Liaoning is the most empty. It is the time for our army to surprise and win."

When Yang Zhen opened his mouth, he first pointed out the current situation in southern Liaoning, and then went straight to the point and frankly explained the strategic intention of leading his army:

"This time I am leading the main force of the advance battalion to cross the sea to the east. I really want to take advantage of this rare opportunity to capture Fuzhou, Jinzhou and even the land south of Jinzhou to establish a long-term foothold."

"Long-term establishment?"

When Yang Zhenyi mentioned "a long-term foundation", Hu Changhai, Gao Chengyou, and Hu Dabao all looked puzzled. They looked at each other, and finally Hu Changhai asked:

"Does the Commander-in-Chief mean that after the Commander-in-Chief leads us to capture Jinzhou, the Commander-in-Chief will lead the advance battalion for the Eastern Expedition and move from Songshan City in western Liaoning to Jinzhou City?"

Yang Zhen saw Hu Changhai opening his mouth to ask this question, and at the same time he saw Gao Chengyou, and Hu Dabao also had doubts on his face, so he smiled, looked at them, and asked:

"What? Not welcome?"

Yang Zhen asked with such a smile, but Hu Changhai was so shocked that he immediately stood up from his seat, quickly bowed to Yang Zhen and said:

"No, no, no, Beizhi has no such intention, absolutely no intention. Beizhi and others are all subordinates of the Governor. If the Governor leads his troops to garrison here, how can Beizhi and others not welcome him? It's just——"

"Oh, just what?"

Faced with Hu Changhai's performance, Yang Zhen just said oh, still looked at him with a smile, and continued to ask him questions.

At this time, Gao Chengyou and Hu Dabao also stood up, standing at a loss, hesitating to speak and not daring to interrupt.

"It's just that this place is very barren and has no population. It's also difficult to transport food and wages, so I'm afraid not many troops can be stationed. Moreover, this place is very close to the heartland of the Tatars. If the governor led his army to move here, I'm afraid there would be a huge army immediately.

The reason why the Tatars are criticizing me for my humble position is actually because I am worried that if the governor comes here, he will repeat the mistakes of General Huang."

After Hu Changhai finished speaking his thoughts, he was already covered in cold sweat.

He hoped to use Yang Zhen's hand to break Jinzhou City and help them overcome the current difficulties, but he did not want Yang Zhen to stay in this place after breaking Jinzhou City.

He is used to being the boss in this area. Once Yang Zhen comes, he will naturally have to bow his head and obey orders. It may be impossible for him to imagine being the carefree leader of his family like before.

But he also knew that there was no such thing as the best of both worlds. If he wanted Yang Zhen to help him, he would have to pay the price.

Especially, after he had publicly expressed his attitude of surrendering to Yang Zhen, he could not object to Yang Zhen leading his army here, both emotionally and rationally.

Facing Yang Zhen, a powerful dragon crossing the river, there are only two options left in front of him, a local snake: one is to accept the reality; the other is to lead his troops to leave this place and find another way out.

However, if Yang Zhen is really determined to lead his army to move to Jinzhou at the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula and the area south of Jinzhou, where can he, Hu Changhai, establish a foothold?

"Brother Gao, what do you think?"

"The Commander-in-Chief is wise. To the south of Jinzhou, it is surrounded by the sea on three sides. The Commander-in-Chief has a navy and heavy artillery. He can advance enough to attack and retreat enough to defend. If you want to achieve great things, you should seize this place. Since Gao Chengyou has surrendered to the Commander-in-Chief, everything depends on the Commander-in-Chief.

Follow your lead!"

"Hu Dabao, what about you?"

"A humble position is not very high-minded. Everything depends on the commander-in-chief's leadership!"

After hearing the answers from Gao Chengyou and Hu Dabao, Yang Zhen laughed, stood up from his seat, stepped forward to help Hu Changhai up, and then said to everyone:

"Sit down, sit down, sit down. Just welcome me! What Hu Gueryi just said makes sense. However, I already have a solution to the problem he mentioned. The most urgent task now is how to solve it.
Chapter completed!
