According to Gao Ming's confession, there were 66 rebels in Laoyaqiao, and 583 rebels in Dujiatun. Among them, the number of cavalry accounts for about 20% or 30%. There were no Tartars in these two places. Only the Tartar patrol teams would come to check every three days.

Zhang Zhun asked with concern: "How is the situation in Xipingbao?"

Wang Shide said cautiously: "I have asked repeatedly that Xiping Fort, Zhenwu Fort, and Zhenning Fort are all garrisoned by rebels. Each fort has only one Niulu Tartar with about two hundred people. The other fortresses are all rebels, and there is not a single Tartar."

Zhang Zhun said a little surprised: "Is that right?"

The above three fortresses are all fortresses that protect Guangning City. The main force of the Liaodong Army was to fight against the attack of the Tatars at these three fortresses. His father, Luo Yiguan, was killed in Xiping Fort. Now, the Tatars actually only arranged rebels to guard these three fortresses. The number of Tatars was only 200, which was really... the force was super empty!

It seems that after Huang Taiji failed in Northern Zhili, the rear of the Great Jin Kingdom was indeed very tight. Now Huang Taiji is trying to temporarily stabilize the hearts of the people in the Liaodong region by spreading fake news. Perhaps ordinary people will temporarily believe in Huang Taiji's false news. However, as time goes by, Huang Taiji will reveal more and more flaws, and more and more people will know the truth. By that time, the fire will not be kept in the paper, and the whole Liaodong will be burning.

For Huang Taiji, a large number of Ming rebels were definitely an unsafe factor and a potential risk of explosion at any time. In the past, a large number of Tartars curbed the rebels and forced the rebels to work for the Tartars, not daring him to think about it. However, now, the Tartars' own strength has declined seriously and they can no longer curb these rebels. As long as the Tiger Army provoked a little, God knows what would happen.

Xiping Fort, Zhenwu Fort, Zhenning Fort and the surrounding fortresses were stationed at least six or seven thousand rebels, but there were only six or seven hundred Tartars responsible for monitoring them, which was less than 10% of the rebels. Such a huge proportion might have been effective if it were before. However, with the news of Huang Taiji's defeat, such a huge proportion would definitely not be able to curb all rebels.

Wang Shide said cautiously: "It should be true. I have repeatedly proofreaded it."

Luo Guanyang suddenly said, "No!"

Zhang Zhun asked coldly: "What's wrong?"

Luo Guanyang frowned and said, "In the past, there were only rebels in these three places, and there were no Tartars. Now, why are there one Niulu Tartar? What can two hundred Tartars do? Will there be any conspiracy here?"

Zhang Zhun asked slowly: "Are you sure there were indeed no Tartars before?"

Luo Guanyang said affirmatively: "Absolutely not. I am very familiar with this place."

Zhang Zhun nodded thoughtfully.

It seems that the top leaders of the Tabai are at least at the level of Tabai. Because of the defeat in the front, they are already a little worried about the rebels below. They are beginning to worry that these rebels will have other ideas, and are beginning to worry that these numerous rebels will fight back and cause harm to the Great Jin Kingdom.

Arrange a Niulu Tartar in each fortress, not for the needs of combat, but for the needs of these rebels. This is obvious. How loyal can you expect to be for a group of people who betray their motherland? Once they find out that something is wrong, they will definitely turn against each other.

In fact, except for Huang Taiji himself, other Tartar slave chiefs never seriously believed in the Han people. Especially in the current unfavorable situation, they were even more worried about the rebels. Once these rebels surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, they suffered a great loss. Therefore, surveillance of them is very necessary.

Like Zu Dashou, the number of rebels who were devoted to the Tartars was very small. Most of the rebels were guys who were mothers. They were fencemen, and they would move to the other side of the strong. They had no courtesy, righteousness, integrity, shame, loyalty, filial piety, and trustworthiness. Moreover, even Zu Dashou might not be completely trustworthy.

To be cruel, who can prove that Zu Dashou was not Zhang Zhun who put it back and wanted to fish for big fish on a long line? Since Huang Taiji could let Zu Dashou go back to Jinzhou, can Zhang Zhun let Zu Dashou come back to Shenyang? This is all shameful matter. Can anyone pat his chest and guarantee that there is no problem in it? Who dares to say that there is no transaction between Zu Dashou and Zhang Zhun?

Zhang Zhun used branches to draw several circles on the ground, representing different fortresses, and then squatted on the ground and pondered carefully. After understanding the situation in Xiping Fort and other places, Zhang Zhun felt that his combat plan might be able to make appropriate changes. His original plan was to start from Jinzhou, push the way flat, take down Yizhou first, and then attack Guangning City.

Now it seems that there is a better plan, that is, to take down the three fortresses of Xiping Fort, Zhenwu Fort and Zhenning Fort, and cut off the connection between Guangning City and Shenyang. In this way, the Tartars in Guangning City have to retreat. If they are handled well, they can also make dumplings in Guangning City and knock out all the Tartars in the red flags.

The biggest problem when fighting against the Tartars is that it is difficult to wipe out completely. In Northern Zhili, the Tartars were the attacking side, constantly attacking the Hu Ben Army, which gave the Hu Ben Army a chance to kill them. However, when in Liaodong, the relationship between the Hu Ben Army and the Tartars was reversed. The Hu Ben Army became the attacking side, and the Tartars became the defensive side. If the Tartars felt that the situation was not good or the strength was not good, they would definitely retreat on their own initiative.

The place in Liaodong is so large and the terrain is relatively flat, which is conducive to the maneuvering of large-scale cavalry. If the Tatars dodge quickly, it would be really not easy for the Hu Ben Army to capture them. If the Tatars have not been in direct contact with the Hu Ben Army, but instead take the best surprise or ambush to deal with the Hu Ben Army, the Hu Ben Army will still have a headache.

Liaodong is the home court of the Tatars. The Tatars always have advantages in all aspects when fighting at their home court, just like the Hu Ben Army in the home court of Northern Zhili, and there are many advantages. The Tatars ruled Liaodong for nearly twenty years and should be very familiar with the situation here. If they simply move their combat experience in Northern Zhili to Liaodong, they will suffer a great loss.

In addition, there is another psychological problem that needs to be considered. In the battle of Northern Zhili, the Tartars were invading and invading, and their combat effectiveness was based on the desire to plunder. Once the desire cannot be satisfied, their combat effectiveness cannot be maintained for a long time. However, in Liaodong, there are slight changes.

In Liaodong, the combat effectiveness of the Tatars may come from defending their homes and defending their tribesmen. A considerable number of Tatars regarded Liaodong as their homeland. The Hu Ben Army regained Liaodong to destroy their homeland. Obviously, the combat effectiveness inspired by the latter is much stronger than the former. This means that the battle between the Tatars and the Hu Ben Army will be very difficult.

But no matter what, taking down three fortresses including Xiping Fort can cause a great psychological shock to the Tartars in Guangning City. At least, it can force the Tartars in Guangning City to withdraw. As long as the Tartars in Guangning City are withdrawn, the Hu Ben Army can control western Liaoning, carry out land reforms in western Liaoning, establish bases, and then attract Han people from Liaodong.

The main force of the Hu Ben Army's cavalry is gradually moving to Liaodong. Some of the soldiers in the Liaodong Army are also slowly transforming into the Hu Ben Army. As long as the power of the Hu Ben Army's cavalry is strong enough, they can start a pursuit battle with the Tatar cavalry at other people's home courts.
