In the evening, Ye Dong, who was full of joy, walked into the camp and reported to Ye Mingsheng:
"Tell me, young master, the scouts sent by Commander Yuan are here. They reported that Commander Yuan's two thousand soldiers and horses will arrive at Yaowo Fort tomorrow afternoon!"
Upon hearing the news, Ye Mingsheng was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face. Yuan Song's speed was faster than he thought. With Yuan Song's support, his next plan will progress faster. You will feel more confident.
"What are the movements of the Khitans in Yaowo Fort?" Ye Mingsheng asked:
"There is constant black smoke in the fort, and it seems that the Khitans are burning corpses. Other than that, everything is normal. Chen Chuanwu is leading people to watch. The Khitans in the waist fort, as soon as there is any movement, they will We’ll notify you as soon as possible!” Ye Donghui reported:
Ye Mingsheng nodded when he heard this. After tonight, when Yuan Song's reinforcements arrive, Ye Luyan will be the turtle in the urn!
Seemingly thinking of something, Ye Dong continued to report to Ye Mingshenghui:
"Master, Commander Liang and General He have not taken action yet, but there is a team named Yang Meng in the third battalion that has been trying to find out the news about grenades from the Guards team in the afternoon... ···”
"Oh? Is there such a thing?"
Ye Mingsheng frowned slightly. Although he had a strong desire to control power, he also knew that too much was too little, so his control over the third battalion only reached the level of Dutou.
Although the team was in charge of the appointment and dismissal of dozens of small leaders, he still left the power to Liang Xuezhang and Ye Tie. Therefore, he had no impression of this team leader named Yang Meng and had no idea where this person came from.
Ye Dong nodded and continued to introduce: "This Yang Meng is a subordinate of Commander Liu Hongye of the 3rd Battalion. He participated in the ambush against Wang Laobangzi a few months ago. He was recommended by Commander Liu Hongye for his bravery in combat, so Brother Tie let him He is the leader!"
"During dinner, he came to the Janissaries with half a bottle of wine to talk to the soldiers, but was prevaricated by the brothers. Then the brothers thought something was wrong, so they reported the matter to me."
"Master, how do you think this matter should be handled? Do you need me to take people with me to arrest this Yang Meng now?"
Ye Mingsheng thought for a while and said: "Pay close attention to this person, but don't act rashly. I will let Huo San handle this matter."
"I understand!" Ye Dong said with cupped hands:
After Ye Dong left, Ye Mingsheng thought for a while, and then found a roster of the third battalion from a box of files. After flipping through the roster, Ye Mingsheng found Yang Meng's name on it.
Looking at the names on the roster, Ye Mingsheng's eyes gradually became deeper.
Although what Yang Meng did may have been an accident, it was his personal behavior. He was excited about the grenade and wanted to know the situation.
But compared to his personal behavior, Ye Mingsheng is more inclined to believe that he was ordered by others. If this is the case, then the person behind the scenes acted quickly enough...
I just took out the grenade and used it in the morning, and this evening someone started to inquire about the news. They really didn't sit idle for a moment!
If this Yang Meng is really someone else's undercover, then I have no choice but to ask Huo Sanlai to conduct a secret background check on all the generals in the army!
Ye Mingsheng, who was very tired after a hard day, just washed up briefly when he arrived in Xu, and then lay on the bed and fell asleep. He wanted to sleep until he woke up naturally, but he just slept for less than two hours. , that is, I heard Ye Dong's voice in my ear.
"Master, Master..."
Slowly opening his sleepy eyes, Ye Mingsheng yawned and asked:
"What happened?"
"Chen Chuanwu just sent a message, saying that there was a sound of horse hooves coming from the waist fort. The Khitan people seemed to be making some arrangements. He judged that the Khitan people were probably going to escape under the cover of night!" Ye Dong said, At the same time, he poured a glass of water and handed it to Ye Mingsheng, who looked a little thirsty.
Ye Mingsheng, who had just woken up from his sleep and was still a little dazed, immediately became energetic when he heard the news from Chen Chuanwu. He drank the water handed over by Ye Dong and relieved some of the dryness in his mouth. He made a decision and ordered:
"Immediately send an order to Guo Zhiping and ask him and the cavalry to prepare. As long as the Khitans dare to run, you can let him entangle them immediately. There is no need to confront the Khitans directly. You just need to harass and restrain them so that they don't run too fast." !”
"yes!"
Ye Dong took the order and left.
Ye Luyan would run away, which was something Ye Mingsheng expected. After all, after this Khitan barbarian saw the power of grenades, he should have known that he had completely lost to himself in the gamble... ···
And the ants still live in vain, let alone him?
It was obvious that Ye Luyan would not just surrender and wait for him to chop off his head and use it as a chamber pot, so running away became his inevitable choice, and Ye Mingsheng, who had already calculated that he would take this step, I also made enough preparations early!
After letting Ye Dong pass the order, Ye Mingsheng was no longer sleepy. He put on his armor and cloak and went to the observation tower at the forefront of the camp. At this time, He Jingyun, Liang Xuezhang and other generals were also standing there.
"Lord Commander-in-Chief!"
Seeing Ye Mingsheng's arrival, the generals bowed their hands and said:
Ye Mingsheng smiled and nodded. Surrounded by the generals, he stood in the center of the watchtower and observed the situation of the waist fort.
After observing for a while, Ye Mingsheng, who knew what he knew, asked He Jingyun:
"Where is Lin Huaiwu's department now?"
"According to yesterday's report, Commander Lin should have led his troops to Tuquanyuan by now, which is an important route for the Khitan people to return to Songmo!" He Jingyun thought about it and reported:
As soon as He Jingyun finished speaking, the gate of Yaowobao suddenly opened, and thousands of Khitans swarmed out. However, what surprised Ye Mingsheng was that not all of these Khitans retreated towards the Songmo area to the west. Instead, the troops were divided into two groups, one heading east and the other heading north.
Seeing this, Guo Zhiping, who was about to attack, hesitated a little and asked Ye Mingsheng for instructions:
"Sir, do you think I should pursue those to the west or those to the north, or should I also divide my forces?"
Regarding Guo Zhiping's request for instructions, Ye Mingsheng thought quickly, then made a decision and ordered:
"Chase the ones to the north and see if Ye Luyan is in the team. Lin Huaiwu is there to the west. It won't be easy for them to leave!"
"yes!"
After receiving the order, Guo Zhiping no longer hesitated, and immediately led his troops to closely follow the enemies fleeing north in the dark night. They were like hungry wolves, waiting to give the enemy a fatal blow at any time!
