  Chapter 2600 Guizi scrolls explore the truth and seek breakthroughs

  Handing the letter back to Baoxiang, Feng Ziying stood in front of the door with her hands behind her back, still looking into the distance.

Blizzards covered the ground, it was already midwinter, and even the most cold-resistant warriors could hardly march in the field to fight. Jianzhou Jurchen and Zhou Jun both packed up their fire, put down their flags and drums, and waited for the coldest and worst season of the year past.

   "Master, Master Yang is here." It was Baoxiang's voice again.

   "Wen Ruo is here, please come in."

  Yang Sichang was also very busy this year. On the one hand, it was extremely fulfilling and hard work, and on the other hand, he also saw the huge gap between himself and Feng Ziying.

It turned out that he was still a little unconvinced. He always felt that there was a lot of luck in Feng Ziying's success. Every time he fought a war, he could catch up with the right time. In addition, he was indeed talented, and he had a cabinet minister as his teacher, so he was able to rise to such a high level. A senior member of the second rank, but after this year's work, he realized that he even underestimated Feng Ziying, and overestimated himself, and he was even hard to see.

  As soon as Feng Ziying arrived in Liaodong, he was sent to Niuzhuang, responsible for arranging the livelihood of tens of thousands of rioters, and he was almost out of breath.

  Before, he was more engaged in intelligence and strategy work in the Ministry of War, but suddenly he went to the local area to do these specific affairs directly, which can be said to be in a hurry and in a daze.

   Fortunately, Feng Ziying arranged for a few experienced people to help him, and it took him two or three months to get familiar with it. Immediately afterwards, a steady stream of rioters came, all of which were left to him to deal with.

  Not only did the wharf need to be built, but also the road from Niuzhuang to Liaoyang had to be paved. The complicated affairs involved in such a huge project were simply a huge challenge for Yang Sichang.

But since Feng Ziying handed it over to him, Yang Sichang knew that he could not shirk it, and because Zheng Chongjian also took over the work no less than his own, Zheng Chongjian was responsible for the planning and construction of the entire Anshanyi coal-iron complex, and the time was shorter than his own. The pressure here is even tighter. It is said that Zheng Chongjian lives and boards on the construction site, more desperate than himself.

The arrangement of various living supplies here, the transportation of building materials, the settlement of various supplies from Shandong and Dagu, plus the safety and purge of the rioters, all matters are on his head, so it can be said that he quickly While growing up, he was also exhausted to death.

  Because of this year's training, Yang Sichang's demeanor has become more dignified and stable, and he also has a mature and sophisticated posture.

"There's not enough food. These rebels in the north are still not used to Huguang rice, and they prefer to eat corn. The first season of potatoes is almost eaten, and the rest are reserved for seeds. I don't know if there is any food in Dagu. Can you bring in another batch? I think this group of people are not bad at doing farm work. They can just open up wasteland along the roadside, and they can't plant well. At least it can relieve the pressure of transporting grain next year,..."

As soon as he entered the door, Yang Sichang was eloquent, he didn't have as much pressure as others when he was with Feng Ziying, and he seemed more casual: "If possible, I think it's good for these people to take care of them, and it would be good to use them as wives. "

"Wen Ruo, can you guarantee that they will not turn their backs when they go to the battlefield as masters?" Feng Ziying asked with a smile: "The news from Captain Long and Xingrensi all show that Nurhachi and the top leaders of the White Lotus Sect are related, at least they are using each other, you and I Are you up to this responsibility?"

"Huh, Liaodong, you have the final say. As long as you have this responsibility, who dares to say anything? Waiting for the master to come from Guannei, not to mention too much consumption, and the progress will be slow. I think the gang of disorderly people will drag those home. The ones with the mouth jumped out, and only let them be masters. For the sake of their own children, they dare not mess around. Besides, don’t you also say that the high-level officials of the White Lotus Sect are really abominable. Is it a poor fool who was deceived?"

Feng Ziying laughed, "Wen Ruo, you put me on all of a sudden, throwing high hats over one after another. It's not that I didn't take care of you. What you said is also reasonable, but how to fight next needs to be discussed. Nurhachi will not be unaware of our style of play this year, and next year he will let us continue to bleed him like this. I don’t think he will, and he will definitely find another way to avoid this extremely unfavorable strategy. , let's see."

  Yang Sichang stared, "Do you think Nurhachi will change his tactics?"

"Well, if it continues to consume us like this, how long will he be able to afford energy?" Feng Ziying shook her head, "He will definitely change his ways to deal with it, but we just want to stay the same. We have the advantage and we have the initiative, but He will definitely come up with a bigger bait, it depends on whether we are willing to take the bait."

  Yang Sichang bowed his head and thought carefully, before he said for a long time: "It is true, if we continue to delay, next year we will be able to drag the Jianzhou Jurchen to half-death, and Nurhachi can't afford it."

  Feng Ziying guessed right, this kind of tug-of-war for a year made Nurhachi really feel overwhelmed.

  In the tug-of-war on the southern front, although the losses in Dongjiang Town and Denglai Town were higher than those of the Jianzhou Army, the people in Dongjiang Town and Denglai Town didn't care about the loss of 20,000 to 30,000 people.

  They have invested 40,000 to 50,000 troops in each town, and there is a huge reserve force supplemented by Da Zhou behind them.

Jiulian City Port has been opened for operation. Ships from Dengzhou, Dagu, and even Jiangnan can directly arrive at Jiulian City Wharf. Soldiers, weapons, grain and other supplies can be easily replenished. What can we do with this point? Compared with others?

The battle situation on the southern front gave Nurhachi the feeling that the opponent was not in a hurry to advance, but took a slow-moving way of eating sausages. Every time he pushed forward, he began to build a fortress there. He was not afraid of the loss of transportation, just like this little by little. Building, forcing one's own side to fight for troops and destroy, and then another war of attrition.

   This kind of battle is very hard, and it makes one's own side very uncomfortable.

Every time Zhou Jun spends his time, waiting for his own side to fight, he is always led by others, but if he does not destroy it, once the fortress is built, it will become a nail again, firmly embedded there, relying on Zhou Jun's powerful firearms and generous logistical support are like a stick in the throat, making you in a dilemma.

   It was this pattern that caused Fei Yingdong and Daishan in the south to fight so hard that they couldn't find a way to break through.

  No matter what they do, the opponent is always marching according to their rhythm.

  The only battle that can be called a big battle was the battle of Gushanbao in the side wall. The Zhou army lost more than 6,000 people, but the Jianzhou army also paid a huge loss of more than 3,000 people.

   It seems that our own side still has the upper hand, but the Jianzhou Army lost a few more 3,000 people, which also forced Nurhachi to consider whether it is necessary to stick to these fortresses.

   But if the fortress inside the side wall is not even guarded, then the front of the Zhou army will be able to reach the city of Shenyang by the end of next year, which is even more unacceptable to Nurhachi.

  Where to go, in front of Nurhachi, Nurhachi felt a little helpless.

It has been a long time since he had such a feeling of hesitation. Even though it was difficult when thirteen sets of armor raised troops, at least he could find a direction and have a goal in his heart. In the tug-of-war, he was like a mouse pulling a turtle, unable to find a place to go.

  The key is logistics.

   This is the conclusion Nurhachi came to.

The construction of Niuzhuang, Jiulian City and Jinzhou Port, coupled with the continuous improvement of the road system, this point was strengthened at all costs after Feng came. I haven’t seen it through before, but now it seems that this is Feng’s most powerful a trick.

It turned out that the materials from Liaodong basically came by land via the Liaoxi Corridor, which was slow and wasted a lot, and I could ask the Chahar people to harass the Liaoxi Corridor from time to time, which made it even more difficult for the Zhou army to supply logistics. Therefore, the Liaodong Army had no strength to launch a counterattack at all, and it was difficult to even defend the city.

But it’s different now. The advantages of several major ports are fully demonstrated by Da Zhou’s strong shipping capacity. It is said that even the North Koreans near Jiulian City have begun to rely on the port of Jiulian City to transship goods. Looking at this posture, the North Koreans have changed their attitudes and turned to Dazhou. Week is also a matter of time.

  Thinking of this, Nurhachi felt even more upset.

  The situation on the northern line is also not optimistic.

Although Shenyang City is in the hands of the northern line, and the surrounding fortresses are basically controlled by our own side, and the main force is stationed on this line, Nurhachi is not worried that the Zhou army can make any breakthroughs here, even if Liu Dongyang is indeed very fierce, but Jianzhou Elite is here and is not afraid of any challenges.

  But what also gave Nurhachi a headache was logistical support and consumption.

The consumption of 100,000 troops is a huge pressure for Nurhachi. Every day people eat and chew a lot of food and grass. Even if they have captured Shenyang and Tielingwei and obtained a considerable amount of supplies, but this year continues, It's almost exhausted, and if it continues like this, the material production in my own site is far from meeting the demand. This is the biggest crisis.

  He has already seen through Feng Ziying's intention, which is to fight with himself and drag himself to death, but he must not fall into the opponent's routine and must break the game.

  Easier said than done, how to break the game?

  The other party has already seen through the strengths and weaknesses of both sides, and uses this method to consume and wear down, and refuses to take the initiative if they do not take the initiative, or if they are not 100% sure of winning, how can such a battle be fought?

   This man surnamed Feng has really become the most difficult opponent he has encountered in his life.

  Nurhachi fell into deep thought. The other party is so young and has already been promoted to the top second-rank official of the Great Zhou. It is reasonable to say that he should be a person with high ambitions and eager to do things. Why is he so sophisticated and deep?

   It's difficult for this guy to be so stable, without any flaws?

  Shouldn't he want to win this battle earlier, and go back to the minister and even the cabinet earlier?
