Wang Muzhi's plan to attack Guangning Mansion is indeed a very clever move from a military perspective!
His move can be said to have forced Ye Mingsheng to give up the strategy he had originally planned to strengthen the wall and clear the country and fight a war of attrition. However, this undoubtedly exposed Wang Muzhi's political immaturity!
If the alliance between the Fengzhou Bureau and the Cui family came together because of a common enemy, then the alliance between the Zhenwu Army and the Liaoyang native faction can be said to be nothing more than a product of interests. The degree of mutual trust between the two parties, The political foundation is not very solid either...
In fact, after everyone realized that the Zhenwu Army did not really want to stabilize Liaoyang, but just wanted to gather soldiers and horses in Liaoyang and enter the pass to support the imperial court. For this reason, they did not hesitate to introduce those alien races that were like wolves and tigers. The Liaoyang native faction and There was already a rift between the Zhenwu army.
The reason why the two sides can still maintain the superficial love is because everyone believes that the Zhenwu Army will be the final winner.
The plan now proposed by Wang Muzhi can easily make the local Liaoyang faction realize that the Forbidden Army faction like Wang Muzhi does not care about their interests at all. They only focus on completing their own tasks.
After understanding this, the Liaoyang native faction in the Zhenwu Army would naturally become dissatisfied with the Forbidden Army faction headed by Wang Muzhi.
Therefore, the plan proposed by Wang Muzhi can be said to have weakened mutual trust between the two parties and aggravated the divisions and divisions within the Zhenwu Army at a time when the two factions should have united with each other, eased conflicts, and cooperated sincerely to fight against the Fengzhou Army. opposition.
And this is undoubtedly something that Ye Mingsheng can take advantage of. In this feudal society, there is still a market for local feelings. Therefore, after Ye Mingsheng played the local card, he gained widespread support and sympathy in Liaoyang, and all strata of society were attracted by it. Supporting Ye Mingsheng's Fengzhou Army in their own way...
Among them are some Liaoyang native forces within the Zhenwu Army. A large part of them defected to the Liaoyang Army after its defeat. Because they surrendered troops and generals, they were not taken seriously within the Zhenwu Army, and some even Some of them will be humiliated and discriminated against by the generals of the Forbidden Army, so they are also very conflicted and restless in their hearts.
They were very dissatisfied with the Forbidden Army faction and wanted to resist, but they were worried that the Fengzhou Army was no match for the Zhenwu Army, so they ended up in the wrong team and were liquidated.
Although Ye Mingsheng despised the behavior of these people who were on the outside and fell into the trap, in order to weaken the fighting spirit within the Zhenwu Army, Ye Mingsheng still took the initiative and ordered the Coordination Office to organize manpower to fight with these Liaoyang soldiers in the Zhenwu Army. The local faction contacted and lobbied...
The reason why the Coordination Office was able to know this time was that the supposedly top-secret plan proposed by Wang Muzhi at the core meeting of the Zhenwu Army actually played a role in contacting and lobbying these Liaoyang local factions, and Wang Muzhi's plan was undoubtedly It was a divine assist for the Fengzhou Army's campaign against the Liaoyang native faction!
According to the feedback from the Coordination Office, the local generals of the Zhenwu Army who were originally hesitant about instigating rebellion, after Wang Muzhi came up with this plan, felt betrayed and became furious, all of which accelerated the fight with the Fengzhou Army. During the negotiation, I started asking what price Ye Mingsheng could give me to join him!
After learning about this situation, Ye Mingsheng's worries about Wang Muzhi's plan from the beginning have changed significantly. He has even begun to expect Wang Muzhi to implement his plan regardless of opposition.
In that case, he, Mr. Ye, can instigate a rebellion against the Liaoyang native faction of most of the Zhenwu Army, and the subjugated troops will accept the Dongning and Changqing Prefectures without fighting. By then, the Fengzhou Army will be in a strong position, and Wang Muzhi will Once a lost dog is lost, it is only a matter of time to eliminate him...
Yuan Song, who didn't know what Ye Mingsheng was thinking, gradually came up with an idea after thinking about it for a while and said to Ye Mingsheng:
"Let me tell you, Lord Commander, if the Zhenwu Army really plans to concentrate its forces to attack Guangning Mansion, then I think our Fengzhou Army should change its strategy of not being able to defend itself!"
"Our troops are attacking Dongning Prefecture from Lelang. Yutai County is less than 300 miles away from Dongning City, and there are no strong natural barriers along the way. As long as the enemy's blocking force along the road does not exceed 10,000, I am confident that we can reach Dongning City within five days."
"Besides, I feel that Guangning Mansion cannot be lost. The money and food stored by the Cui family are also the lifeblood of our army. Our army should send a partial force to attack Guangning Mansion to help the Cui family's soldiers and horses resist the Zhenwu Army's offensive!"
Ye Mingsheng's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard Yuan Song's plan. According to Yuan Song's idea, this is the speed of life and death...
Let's see whether the Fengzhou Army conquers Dongning Mansion first or the Zhenwu Army conquers Guangning Mansion first. Whoever captures the target first will have a strategic advantage!
After thinking for a while, Ye Mingsheng nodded towards Yuan Song and said:
"I understand what General Yuan is thinking. It's getting late. General, please go back and rest!"
"Yes, sir, please don't work too hard, take care of yourself and rest early!" Yuan Song bowed and said:
"Okay!" Ye Mingsheng said with a smile:
After sending Yuan Song away, Ye Mingsheng washed up and went to bed as early as possible. Lelang Mansion was just the first battle of his inspection plan. He would go to Xuantu City tomorrow to check the situation of Lin Huaiwu's department.
Early the next morning, when it was still dark, Ye Mingsheng led his personal guards to leave Lelang Mansion. Before leaving, Ye Mingsheng handed a person to Yuan Song. This person was his former captain Ye Dong, since Ye Dong's negligence last time allowed the assassin to kill Ye Mingsheng, Ye Mingsheng began to think about how to deal with Ye Dong after Ye Dong was dismissed.
After repeated and careful thinking, Ye Mingsheng finally felt that he should not keep him under his wings, but should hand him over to the battlefield and use the iron and blood of the battlefield to temper him, so Ye Mingsheng It was decided to let Ye Dong serve under Yuan Song, fight on the front line of the Fengzhou Army, and let him undergo the baptism of war...
Two days after leaving Lelang, Ye Mingsheng arrived at Xuantu City under the escort of his personal guards. As usual, he also checked the combat readiness of Lin Huaiwu's department, boosted the morale of the frontline soldiers, and asked Lin Huaiwu about the situation. What do you think of the Zhenwu Army gathering troops to attack Guangning Mansion?
Lin Huaiwu's views were basically the same as Yuan Song's. They both wanted to compete with the Zhenwu Army for speed. The only difference was that Lin Huaiwu hoped that the main attack direction on Dongning Mansion would be his garrison at Xuantu Mansion, not Yuan Song's. Lelangfu also gave his opinion on this.
Although Xuantu Mansion is not as close as Lelang Mansion to Dongning City, the opposite side of Xuantu City is Fengshan County, Dongning Prefecture, Ye Mingsheng’s hometown. Therefore, attacking Fengshan County from Xuantu Mansion will be a big deal for the Fengzhou Army. It is said to be very symbolic and can greatly boost morale, demoralize the enemy, and shock the enemy's psychology.
After listening to Lin Huaiwu's opinions and finding out the combat readiness of Xuantu Mansion, Ye Mingsheng returned to his headquarters in Shoucheng.
As the saying goes, a short break is better than a new marriage. At night, under Jinyu's flattery and Pei Zhixiu's affectionate feelings, he, Mr. Ye, still couldn't grasp it...
After teaching the two girls everything, a tired-looking Ye Mingsheng lay on the bed, enjoying his sage moment.
"Master, do you know what kind of person Miss An is?"
On the bed, Jinyu massaged Ye Mingsheng's back and said coquettishly in Ye Mingsheng's ear:
Regarding such questions, Ye Mingsheng was too lazy to use his brain and said directly:
"I don't know! I'll find out after a while."
Ye Mingsheng's answer obviously did not satisfy Jinyu. She slightly raised her red lips and said with a taste:
'You don't care at all now, are you just waiting to have sex with this beauty? '
"I heard that An Miaoyi was the reincarnation of Bao Si. King Zhou You wanted to make her laugh, but as for the princes, if you, young master, get the trouble of this beauty, I'm afraid you will forget about all our sisters. Everything is clean..."
Geunyu, who was feeling sorry for himself when he said this, did not forget to encourage Pei Jixiu on the other side and said:
"Sister Pei, don't you think so? If that Miss An comes, we will both be left alone... Then Jinyu will be with her sister, here. We all depend on each other in the General Military Mansion!"
After saying that, Jinyu looked pitiful, with a few tears appearing in the corners of his eyes. Pei Zhixiu did not say anything, lying in Ye Mingsheng's arms and smiling softly. Seeing this, Jinyu was undoubtedly even more angry. , also got into Ye Mingsheng's arms and competed with Pei Zhixiu for territory.
Seeing that another war was about to break out, Ye Mingsheng quickly turned the conflict into friendship. He now understood more and more that there were only cows that were exhausted and there was no land that was plowed to death. If the love lasted for a long time, how could they live together day and night? ?
There is ample time! There is ample time!
After resting in the general camp for a few days, it was the third day of August, and there were still seven days left before the wedding of Ye Mingsheng and An Miaoyi.
Everyone in the Fengzhou Army has begun to make final preparations. Ye Mingsheng has two requirements for this wedding!
The first is that the scale needs to be large, the name needs to be famous, and more people must know that Mr. Ye is going to marry An Miaoyi!
This is because his wedding is a political signal, which means that Ye Mingsheng and the Cui family stand closer together. It also means that Ye’s Fengzhou military regime has the political endorsement of family members, not those grassroots groups. It can be compared. In the end, it was to give face to the Cui family and An family. It showed that he attached great importance to this matter and made the two families look good.
Secondly, in addition to being grand, Ye Mingsheng also requires that his wedding be as frugal and simple as possible, and avoid extravagance and waste as much as possible...
The front lines are still preparing for war, and the situation may change at any time, so Ye Mingsheng feels that we must resolutely prevent the situation where the front line is tight and the rear is tight.
Although the current financial situation of the Fengzhou Army has been supplemented by the Cui family's money and food, the money and food problems that have always plagued the development of the Fengzhou Army have been greatly improved. However, it is not as tight as before, but it is still far from enough. Less than affluent level.
Therefore, holding an extravagant wedding will greatly increase the financial pressure on the Fengzhou Army, which may have an adverse impact on the purchase of medicines, the payment of military pay and pensions, and many other issues. This is something Ye Mingsheng absolutely does not want to see. .
The officials in charge of wedding preparations also felt a headache because of Ye Mingsheng's requirement to be both grand and frugal.
But there was no way Ye Mingsheng had given him a dead order, and the approved budget was only a mere three thousand taels of silver, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and get the job done.
Three days before the wedding, An Miaoyi also came to Shoucheng under the leadership of Cui Shao and a large group of elders of the Cui family. Although Ye Mingsheng was very curious about her, he wanted to see what his new daughter-in-law had. Not as beautiful as rumored, but he was willing to respect traditional customs, respect An Miaoyi and the Cui family, and did not try to meet in private.
On the tenth day of August, it was just dawn on the wedding day. Since it was an emergency, in order to prevent assassination and the destruction of the wedding by agents from the Supervision Department, the Fengzhou sergeants of the brigade controlled the streets of Shoucheng. In addition, a large number of people from the Coordination Office Plainclothes men are also lurking among the crowd, alert to all possible dangers...
In such a festive and tense atmosphere, Ye Mingsheng, who was wearing a bright red wedding robe, led the team to welcome the bride and set off from his headquarters at the same time, because the scale required by Ye Mingsheng was very grand, and there was no How much money was used as funding, so the officials in charge could only arrange for Ye Mingsheng to set off from the general military camp in the north of Shoucheng and go to the Cui family's residence in Nancheng to pick up the bride.
In this way, the wedding procession happened to be walking on the bustling and broad main road of Shoucheng. The people of the whole city could participate in witnessing it together. If everyone gathered together, the scale would definitely be there.
When the wedding team comes, everyone will shout slogans together to create a festive and peaceful atmosphere. Although it is a little simpler, the scene is grand and spectacular enough.
Wherever Ye Mingsheng's mighty welcoming team went, there were cheers and cheers, and the people shouted:
"Congratulations to General Ye on your wedding!"
"I wish Mr. Ye and the bride a happy marriage and a son soon!"
"I wish Mr. Ye and his bride a lifetime of love and a long life together!"
···················
···················
Feeling everyone's blessings, Ye Mingsheng, who was riding on a tall horse, frequently smiled and raised his hands to the crowds on both sides. The soldiers and followers following him also threw some copper coins, candy cubes and the like into the crowds on both sides. Something to make everyone happy together.
(Originally, I planned to prepare a few chapters, but after seeing that the number of back-orders dropped by fifty, I decided to speed up the pace. If nothing else happens, the protagonist will become the Liaoyang Governor this month. Dear readers, please stay tuned!)
