"If our army cannot hold out, in addition to killing the Zhenwu Army, it will also have other important uses when our army is cleaning up the mess after the war..." Gu Sansi said meaningfully. Ye Mingsheng added:
Ye Mingsheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he roughly understood the meaning of Gu Sansi's words!
It turns out that Gu Sansi wanted to kill two birds with one stone!
While using the Cui family's money to consume the Zhenwu Army, they are also using the Zhenwu Army to consume the Cui family's financial and material resources. Without the money accumulated by several generations of the family, the Cui family's strength and influence in Liaoyang will undoubtedly be It has dropped a lot, which means that both the Zhenwu Army and the Cui family will suffer losses, creating conditions for Ye Mingsheng to suppress the family after the war. From this, he, Ye, seems to be the final winner!
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but show a trace of respect in his eyes when he looked at Gu Sansi. He didn't know how Gu Sansi's head was so long that he could come up with such a clever plan!
"Mr. Gu, your strategy is very good! After thinking carefully for a while, Ye Mingsheng patted his hands towards Gu Sansi and praised:
Hearing Ye Mingsheng's praise, even though Gu Sansi's qi-nurturing skills were also good, he couldn't help but show a little complacency in his expression, but before he could show his humility, the second half of Ye Mingsheng's words came out.
"But there are still some shortcomings!"
Gu Sansi was a little surprised when he heard this. He had been brewing this plan for a long time, and he felt that the plan was very mature before he reported it to Ye Mingsheng...
Although Ye Mingsheng was his boss, Gu Sansi found it difficult to accept Ye Mingsheng's statement. He immediately raised his hands and asked unconvinced:
"May I ask where the shortcomings of your plan are?"
Seeing Gu Sansi's dissatisfaction, Ye Mingsheng smiled slightly and said lightly:
"The disadvantage is that you are a little self-righteous and underestimate Cui Shao!"
"If Cui Shao wanted to be the governor of Liaoyang, he would have had a chance given the Cui family's strength over the years, but he was able to serve as his inspector, enduring Song Wenhui's suspicion and precautions, and has been holding back for more than ten years!"
"If we use the false name of Governor of Liaoyang to make a deal with Cui Shao, not only will the deal not be successful, but it will also make Cui Shao realize that our department is not sincere and affect the cooperation between our army and the Cui family!"
At the end, Ye Mingsheng said to Gu Sansi with great sincerity:
"Believe me! If Cui Shao is as simple as you think, then how can the Cui family remain standing in Liaoyang through all these years?"
After listening to what Ye Mingsheng said, Gu Sansi fell into silence. After a moment, he bowed to Ye Mingsheng with some shame and said:
"My lord is right, think twice about looking down on the world's heroes!"
"It doesn't matter, Mr. Gu's idea is still very constructive!" Ye Mingsheng smiled and reassured, then looked at He Jingyun and ordered:
"General He sent an order to Yuan Song and Lin Huaiwu to build fortifications in Lelang and Xuantu, store food, and be prepared to hold on. As for Guo Zhiping's troops, they will withdraw to Kaicheng County as a mobile force in case of any eventuality!"
"In addition, among the 25,000 new recruits, half of the positions above the first rank are vacant for the Cui family. Since you are going to empty out other people's wealth, how can you not spend some money? It just so happens that I am marrying An Miaoyi. We still lack a betrothal gift, so let’s borrow flowers to offer to Buddha!” Ye Mingsheng said confidently:
·······················

The next day, Dongning Mansion.
In the stronghold of the Supervision Department, Shen Jianzhong looked expectantly at the note handed over by his subordinates, but the moment he opened the note, his face suddenly fell and became very ugly.
"well···········"
For a long time, Shen Jianzhong couldn't help but lament. This assassination operation against Ye Mingsheng could be said to be the one for which he was most fully prepared!
In order to get the five top Koga jonins from the Black Dragon Society to take action, he did not hesitate to sell out Dazhou's interests in the palace. He made a secret deal with Sato Kaga, the president of the Black Dragon Society, and acquiesced to the expansion of the Black Dragon Society in the palace.
Not only that, he also took the risk of being exposed and took the risk of mobilizing the Supervision Department, all the spies and secret sentries within the Fengzhou Army, to find out the activities of Ye Mingsheng's general army camp in Shoucheng, as well as the defense situation of the camp. May provide all possible help to the Black Dragon Society ninja who assassinated Ye Mingsheng.
So much effort and dedication is just to kill him with one strike so that Ye Mingsheng can go to the west!
However, even though he put in so much effort, he still fell short without hurting a hair on Ye Mingsheng!
Thinking of this, Shen Jianzhong undoubtedly felt even more regretful and annoyed. Why did he give Ye Mingsheng a chance in the first place? Why did he think he could take advantage of Ye Mingsheng...
Although he was in a very bad mood, Shen Jianzhong couldn't care less about lamenting and just used his brain to think about how to deal with Chen Dechang.
Recently, the Fengzhou Army led by Ye Mingsheng has put a lot of pressure on the Zhenwu Army at the military level. Facing these pressures, Chen Dechang has no good way. All he can do is transfer the pressure to Wang Muzhi and Shen Jianzhong. .
Therefore, Shen Jianzhong was also under a lot of pressure during this period. Now that the assassination of Ye Mingsheng has completely failed, the pressure on Shen Jianzhong is undoubtedly even heavier, and tomorrow is the day when Shen Jianzhong reports to Chen Dechang. If Shen Jianzhong cannot get the If you have to give a convincing answer, the best case scenario is that you will be scolded by Chen Dechang like a grandson...
After thinking about it for a whole night, Shen Jianzhong finally got some ideas. He didn't care about his physical fatigue early in the morning, so he steeled himself, headed towards Chen Dechang's residence, and rushed to report to Chen Dechang.
Although Shen Jianzhong came very early, it was not a coincidence that he came just in time to catch up with Chen Dechang who was doing his old job at night to get stronger and show his strength. Therefore, he was too weak to get out of bed this morning. After waiting for about an hour, Shen Jianzhong finally arrived. It’s like meeting Chen Dechang.
As soon as he saw Chen Dechang, Shen Jianzhong raised his hands and reported:
"I have some good news to tell the Marquis. Xiao Tai has sent a letter to me, saying that the Khitan Khan Yelu Kang has promised to send 20,000 troops to join our army in attacking the Fengzhou Army from both sides, and to cooperate with our army in Xuantu Mansion. , Lelang Mansion’s offensive!”
After hearing the news, Chen Dechang, who had just gotten up from the bed and looked a little tired, showed some complexity in his expression, but he still nodded slightly and said:
"Master Shen, you did a good job!"
"Do you have any clues about the assassination of that bastard?"
