The food problem has been temporarily solved. Lu Si actually doesn’t need to do anything else. Just wait in Zheng Biao’s words.

The Linhuai army bombed the camp and broke out on its own, and the Andongyuan was captured. The Ming army under Huai'an city faced a more difficult situation than the Huai army.

The most important thing is that the Ming army had no food.

"The city cannot be broken, and it is trapped and there is no food. Moreover, the department and the court are trapped in my hands, and no one is going to coordinate. No accidents happen. I think that the siege of Huai'an will be lifted at the latest for seven days."

With the promise of the Huaiyang Jiedushi Xu as the prefect of Huai'an, Zheng Biao worked harder and further pointed out that after the Huaixi tribes retreated, the only enemies in front of the Huai army were Jin Shenghuan tribes and Zhang Pengyi tribes.

Lu Si also had this view. He admired Zheng Biao more and more, and asked someone to bring a stool to sit on him.

"Let's talk about it, how to break the gold, Zhang?"

"I heard that the Henan troops in Dashun had already defeated Xuzhou, and there was a unit of attacking Suzhou. Suzhou was the flood land of Xu Jin, the Ministry of Road and Ministry, and stationed troops along the Suzhou line to defend the river. However, Jin Shenghuan was a rough man and was a blunt person. He only knew small profits and had no long-term vision. Therefore, he thought that after he retreated to Huai'an, he would definitely plunder the way and even go west to Suzhou, and return to Zuo Liangyu's command."

"I know this Jin Shenghuan. This man has a bad military discipline and has many slaughtered cities, and he is not as good as a thief. Unfortunately, I am unable to keep it, otherwise I will definitely be killed on the horse."

Lu Si agreed with Zheng Biao's analysis. Zhao Zhongyi said that when Jin Shenghuan came from Wuchang, he only brought more than 8,000 soldiers. Later, he recruited some masters in Susi area to form river defense soldiers, with a maximum of more than 10,000 troops. Wu Gao's army of river supervision was wiped out, and his troops could only rely on several thousand. However, they had to deal with the north and south at the same time. Therefore, in terms of military strength, the Jin tribe that surrounded Huai'an was actually the smallest.

Therefore, as long as Huang Degong and Zhu Ji rescued the siege and retreated, Jin Shenghuan would definitely grab a hand to return to Wuchang as Zheng Biao said, otherwise he would fall into the situation where the Henan Shun Army in the north and the Huai Army in the south. It would be difficult to deal with Suzhou alone.

"If Jin Shenghuan leaves, there will be only Zhang Pengyi, the army in Huai'an, Zhang Pengyi," Lu Si stopped. He thought that if Zhang Pengyi had no illegitimate son or something else, this Huai'an army would have been completely defeated.

Lu Si did this matter too much and was too vicious.

"Zhang Pengyi is not worthy of his reliance. His troops can fight only more than a thousand soldiers, and most of the soldiers and horses in the siege were to join forces to force the countryside to train."

If Zhang Pengyi had not been destroyed by the Huai Army in Huai'an, Zheng Biao would be very sure that he would surrender the general of Huai'an. He still didn't know that Zhang Pengyi's youngest son in Andong was also killed by the young Dashun Jiedushi in front of him.

"If it weren't for Zhang Pengyi, I'm afraid the bandits and soldiers in Huai'an City had been recruited by the Lu Department." Zheng Biao said it smoothly and did not change for the time being.

Lu Si didn't mind, but he had to ask clearly about the matter of amnesty. After Zheng Biao finished the detailed story, his face was a little solemn.

Because if Yu Huai Shu was successfully recruited, Lu Si would have really made a fuss. All the tens of thousands of Ming troops besieged Huai'an rushed to Yangzhou, what would he do? Or maybe the leader of the Yu Alliance, who was promised by Lu Zhenfei that "Wenze is a county, Wuze is a guerrilla" would also lead the Northern Army to the south to suppress the thieves, just like Song Jiang in the novel's conquest of Fang La.

Sure enough, what the old man said is true, surrenderism is always the enemy of rebellion.

"Is the governor ready to attack Zhang Pengyi?"

Zheng Biao observed his expression and asked carefully.

Of course, Lu Si had a plan to solve Zhang Pengyi, otherwise how to achieve the "great unification" of Huaiyang. Zheng Biao suggested not to attack Zhang Pengyi for the time being, because there are things that are more important than attacking Zhang Pengyi at the moment.

"Let's talk about Zheng Mansion."

Lu Si looked humble and was taught. Even Hong Chengchou would still be taught humbly, as long as the other party could help him rise up.

"From the beginning of the righteous army, the gentry near Huai'an took the flag of destroying the thieves and supporting the Ming Dynasty, united the brave men, cleaned up the team, and made excellent equipment. Set up the cards on the beach and river, and all boats and chariots must be questioned before passing. That is, the pile of soil dredged gathers on both sides of the shore, and only walks are allowed, not to ride. The people along the river are blocked and the villagers are blocking the robbers, leaving a hole to connect to the entrance and exit, and the defense is quite guarded."

Zheng Biao said that Lu Si would pay attention immediately. After the Huai Army began to invade, a large number of group training organized by landlords and gentry began to appear in the villages near Huai'an. In order to build a village, these people were afraid that the Huai Army would rob them, so they mobilized the villagers to dig up roads and pile up soil to set up barriers. In some remote places, they even did not even directly contact the outside world.

One transmission of ten, ten transmission of hundreds, caused a large number of group training in many places in northern and eastern Huai'an, with dozens of people few and thousands of people. Moreover, due to the southward transition of Henan Shun Army in the north, a large number of group training also emerged in Xuzhou and Haizhou.

Although the Henan Shun Army captured Xuzhou Prefecture City, it was unable to divide its troops to encircle and suppress the "local thieves" in Xuzhou because it went south to "rescue" Huai'an and blocked Liu Zeqing's southward journey, making the "local thieves" in Xuzhou the largest scale and the largest momentum.

Zheng Biao explained this situation from the "big picture". He thought that the Henan Shun Army went south to implement Li Zicheng's military strategy for Huaiyang, so the Huai army, which had already occupied Yangzhou and Huai'an, should cooperate with this strategy.

Compared with these rural troupes that sprouted mushrooms after the rain, the mobs of Zhang Pengyi's troops are not worth mentioning. Because these rural "local thieves" are not only numerous, but also actually control the vast rural areas. Therefore, if these local thieves are not solved, the Huai Army will not be able to collect grain from the countryside. Without food to raise soldiers, how can we talk about managing Huaiyang for Dashun?

The situation is very similar to Xinghua a while ago. The difference is that the anti-Huai forces in Xinghua are surrounded by the Huai Army as a whole, and because of the numerous rivers and lakes in the territory, these anti-Huai forces cannot flow and fight.

The local sects are different from the local sects. They probably have more mules and horses than the Huai Army, and they already have the prototype of the "Nian Army" that Lu Si had crossed the Central Plains in his previous life. Therefore, if these local sects are not solved as soon as possible, even if Lu Si takes back Huai'an, the Huai Army will have to send troops to "clear the countryside" because of the large number of "local thieves" in the territory, so as to be unable to implement the policy of "defending the enemy outside the basis" that Lu Si developed northward.

This is really a headache. If one or two counties do this, Lu Si would not worry at all. His long sword was very sharp, and at worst he could kill his head.

But that was equivalent to the "local thieves" in the dozen or twenty counties in later generations. Even if the Huai Army could divide its troops to clear them all, by the time they suppressed all of these local thieves, they might have driven 200,000 green camps to their doorsteps in the north.

It's really a Japanese mother. Lu Si secretly sighed that rebellion is not something that humans do, there are too many things.

“Actually, the solution is not difficult,”

Seeing that Governor Lu had no choice but to go out, Zheng Biao was secretly happy and immediately proposed his own strategy, which was to send someone to inform Emperor Yongchang of Dashun ascended the throne, and then summoned the local brave men of the group in the name of Dashun and granted them the official position of Dashun.

"If you have available to be organized into the Huai Army, the unavailable governor can implement the strategy of exempting taxes, so that the local thieves can be disbanded and returned to the farming industry by themselves. As long as I am Dashun and do not destroy the interests of the local thieves, how will the local thieves become enemies with my Dashun?"

After hearing what Zheng Biao said, Lu Si realized that he might be on the path of merging with landlords and gentry.
