Although the details of the sneak attack on Majiazhuang were planned by Zheng Ai, it was indeed instructed by Liao Jie. In particular, he gave great convenience to the transfer of the personnel and equipment required by Zheng Ai, and let the sergeants get out of the public eye by retiring from the army, so as not to attract unnecessary attention. But Liao Jie really didn't expect that such an arrangement would still be noticed by someone with a heart, so he took the information of these veteran sergeants and went to the Haihan people to exchange them for silver taels with white flowers. And the Haihan people actually followed the vine, checked the entire sneak attack plan in advance, and set up a trap in Majiazhuang to wait for Zheng Ai's team to throw themselves into the net.

However, Liao Jie did not have the heart to think that Zheng Ai's operation would be 100% successful, and there were too many uncertainties in this kind of sneak attack and assassination operation in enemy-occupied areas, and no matter how thorough the plan was, it might not be able to ensure success. It's just that the current situation in Dengzhou is increasingly favorable to Haihan, and he can no longer wait patiently for a perfect opportunity. According to his personal conservative estimates, Zheng Ai's actions have a three- to four-percent chance of success. So before setting off on Zheng Ai's side, Liao Jie also considered the consequences of failure and made some preparations within his ability.

Liao Jie's first thing to guard against is, of course, to attract Haihan's revenge after the matter is revealed, but he also thinks that even if Haihan will impose a military attack on Dengzhou because of this, it should not directly attack Dengzhou City. This is because the Dengzhou military is not ignorant of the strength of the Haihan garrison in the local area, although it cannot defeat the Haihan army, but it also basically grasps the strength of the Haihan garrison, and knows that the Haihan people do not have enough troops to expand the control area to a larger area.

From this obvious shortcoming, Liao Jie also realized that Haihan's attitude towards war was not as radical as he imagined, because the troops were limited and far away from home, and the Haihan people's ability to withstand war losses was actually far less than that of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, after Haihan landed on the coast of Fushan County, he never carried out offensive methods such as attacking the city and pulling out the village, but gradually expanded and connected the control area with Zhifu Island, Jiahe Riverbank, Majiazhuang, Fushan Copper Mine and other strongholds as the center, and did not directly attack Fushan County, Qishan City or the larger Dengzhou City.

Later, the Haihan people paid more attention to the Yellow Sea, and Liao Jie knew that they were secretly colluding with the Phi Dao side, and even semi-openly providing food supplies to the locals. However, this is a good thing for the safety of Dengzhou, and if Haihan diverts more energy to other places, then the willingness to do it locally will be correspondingly much less.

Liao Jie was sure that even if Zheng Ai's operation failed, the Haihan people would not directly attack Dengzhou City, but if they wanted to retaliate against Fushan County and Qishan City nearby, it would be difficult for Dengzhou to rescue in time.

However, Liao Jie did not plan to inform Zhang Pucheng, the magistrate of Fushan County, and Feng Fei, a thousand households in Qishan, in advance, for the simple reason that these places were close to the Haihan-controlled areas but had never been attacked.
