And Xun Ke's words can be said to have completely broken He Jingyun's fantasy and made him face reality!
However, for Xun Ke, the admonition to take a step back is to broaden the horizon.
He Jingyun is really unwilling!
Although I know that Ye Mingsheng is not as incompetent and only good at flattering as the rumors say...
But He Jingyun still dissatisfied with Ye Mingsheng in his heart.
He Jingyun had been dormant for many years and finally came back. How could he be inferior to a person like Ye Mingsheng?
Although he is not convinced by Ye Mingsheng.
Although I don't like Xun Ke's advice.
But Xun Ke had a saying, but He Jingyun had to admit that he was very correct.
That is, the right time, the right place and the right people are all on Ye Mingsheng's side!
The gap in official positions made Ye Mingsheng naturally dominate him.
Ye Mingsheng, who returned to Liaoyang, can be said to have a convenient location, while He Jingyun is in a foreign land and living under someone else's roof.
And the gap in manpower is like a chasm. Ye Mingsheng has recruited thousands of local warriors, but he can only command the dozen or so people he brought.
He Jingyun can understand all this. He had already thought of this when he followed Ye Mingsheng to Liaoyang!
But the only thing he couldn't understand was - where did Ye Mingsheng get so much money?
During the time he was with Ye Mingsheng, he saw He Jingyun with his own eyes. Ye Mingsheng was generous and generous, and he did not hesitate to reward him.
At first He Jingyun was very disdainful of this. Through his relationship with the Ministry of War, he knew that Chen Dechang gave Ye Mingsheng 10,000 taels of silver as recruitment expenses, so he thought that the reason why Ye Mingsheng was so generous was because he withheld military pay and ate up the quota... ····
But when the recruitment began, He Jingyun was dumbfounded. He never expected that Ye Mingsheng not only did not deduct military pay.
Even the recruitment conditions he proposed were better than the recruitment conditions in the Zhenwu Army plan, and he kept his promise without exception!
This is also an important reason why Ye Mingsheng's recruitment work progressed so smoothly and thousands of people were recruited within a few days.
If it hadn't been investigated clearly in advance, Ye Mingsheng just came from an ordinary Liaoyang landlord family.
He Jingyun really thought that Ye Mingsheng was the direct descendant of that noble family, and that he had the support of the entire family, so he could not regard money as money!
He Jingyun, who had been in Fengshan County for such a long time and was curious about the source of Ye Mingsheng's money, also quietly investigated the Ye family where Ye Mingsheng lived.
However, after some investigation and understanding the background of the Ye family, He Jingyun was very sure that Ye Mingsheng's money did not come from the Ye family.
Since it was neither deducting military pay nor getting it from the family, where did Ye Mingsheng get the seemingly endless money?
He Jingyun, who realized this problem, was puzzled. He felt that Ye Mingsheng's face, which seemed to be always calm, seemed to be covered with a thick layer of mist, making it difficult to figure out... ·········

Daxing Mountains, in the village on Jiukong Cliff.
"Hong Min died like this?"
Guo Zhanshan looked at the note passed by the informant at the foot of the mountain and said with some disbelief.
"Dad, it seems that we have all underestimated this Ye Mingsheng..." Guo Zhiping, who was standing aside, sighed with admiration:
When he sent news to Ye Mingsheng before, he knew that with the help of his information, Hong Min would most likely not pose any threat to Ye Mingsheng.
But he never expected that Ye Mingsheng did so well. An ambush not only killed Hong Min directly, but also allowed none of Hong Min's five hundred bandits to escape.
This was really beyond Guo Zhiping's expectations!
Guo Zhiping and Hong Min, the ghost-headed swordsman, had fought against each other over the years because of some grudges. Although he beat Hong Min to pieces and made him miserable, he never completely killed this scourge.
Therefore, when revealing the news to Ye Mingsheng this time, Guo Zhiping also had two considerations.
On the one hand, he wanted to show his goodwill to Ye Mingsheng and pave the way for the next thing.
On the one hand, he also wanted to use Ye Mingsheng's hand to severely injure Hong Min, and then he could take advantage of the opportunity, add insult to injury, catch Hong Min off guard, and then kill Hong Min and swallow up his power.
I never thought that Ye Mingsheng would do it so neatly and neatly, leaving no opportunity for him to take advantage of...
Throwing the note in his hand into the burning fire pot, Guo Zhanshan laughed at himself and said: "I still want to help him. It seems that he doesn't need our help at all..." ···”
Guo Zhiping said nothing about his father's self-deprecation. After a moment of silence, he looked at Guo Zhanshan and said:
"Ye Tie just came here with a message and told us the locations of several secret warehouses that Hong Min had hidden. He said it was a gift in return for us reporting the news."
"What's in these warehouses?" As an old bandit, Guo Zhanshan immediately became interested when he heard this and asked directly:
"Ye Tie didn't say anything about this, but I guess it's all weapons, food and the like. There isn't much money, otherwise they would have kept it for themselves!"
"According to my observation during this period, Ye Mingsheng has recruited troops and horses. He has made a lot of money, and he will definitely not let it go if he has money." Guo Zhiping shook his head and analyzed:
After hearing his son's analysis, Guo Zhanshan nodded in agreement, thought about it for a moment, and if the old bandit had some enlightenment, he immediately said:
"Zhiping, do you think Ye Tie made his own decision when he did this? Or was it Ye Mingsheng's instruction behind it?"
Guo Zhiping thought for a moment and said with certainty:
"Ye Mingsheng must have agreed. Ye Tie is very loyal to Ye Mingsheng. Without Ye Mingsheng's authorization, he would not dare to give these things to us in private."
"Since it is Ye Mingsheng's decision, then he is showing favor to us... In this case, he can't guess what we are thinking, right?"
As Guo Zhanshan got older, his thinking was no longer as sharp as it used to be. In addition, with such a resourceful eldest son, he simply didn't bother to think more and directly handed the problem to Guo Zhiping.
"Dad, what we are thinking about is in our village. Not many people know about it. It is impossible for Ye Mingsheng to know about it, but of course his move is a gesture of goodwill to us!"
"Although it can't explain more, it at least shows that Ye Mingsheng is not so resistant to our identity!" Guo Zhiping said with great certainty:
