Just when Ye Mingsheng was secretly thinking about how to speak, An Miaoyi's beautiful eyes seemed to read Ye Mingsheng's thoughts and said softly:
"This is the first time that my husband has met me, but I have met my husband many times when I was in Luo'an..."
"My uncle An Zhirong has coveted the position of Kunshan Marquis in his family for a long time. In order to get this position, he was willing to become the chief assistant of Shangguan Hongyuan. Most of the profits and horses behind the Dalongchang Company were actually obtained by Shangguan. Hongyuan took it away, and Shangguan Hongyuan promised to hand over the title of Marquis of Kunshan to my father after his death!"
"Xianggong was an important part of his trade with the Khitans at that time, so in order to destroy his plan and keep the titles of my father and brother, I had observed Xianggong in the dark many times when I was in Luo'an, and hoped that Xianggong would be kind to me. Don’t blame me!”
After saying this, An Miaoyi, who had a pretty face full of apologies, stood up from the bed and bowed to Ye Mingsheng.
Although An Miaoyi's words are not long, I have to say that the amount of information is still very large...
First of all, the first point is solved. Another confusion that Ye Mingsheng has always had in his heart is who is the backer behind An Zhirong!
Although the several families behind Dalongchang are quite powerful, they obviously cannot cover such a large business as Dalongchang Company. Therefore, Ye Mingsheng has long suspected that they have other backers to dare to do this, and Shangguan Hongyuan actually does the same. One of Ye Mingsheng's suspicions was finally confirmed from An Miaoyi.
Ye Mingsheng couldn't stand the collusion between Dalongchang Company and the Khitan people from the beginning. Unfortunately, he was still young and needed An Zhirong's support at the time, so he didn't dare to act rashly. When he later captured Posuo Mansion, he followed Zhenrong. After the confrontation between the armed forces was a foregone conclusion, Ye Mingsheng immediately blocked Fengzhou's trade routes, sealed up the Dalongchang business, and made a break with An Zhirong...
The second information point in An Miaoyi's words is that it is proper that she and An Zhirong are not at odds. An Zhirong wants the title of Marquis of Kunshan for more than a day or two.
But listening to the meaning of An Miaoyi's words, it seems that she is not that simple!
After pondering for a while, Ye Mingsheng had a faint smile on his face and asked:
"In that case, I wonder, madam, what did you see in my husband at that time?"
An Miaoyi nodded seriously when she heard this, and seemed to remember something. A blush appeared on her fair and delicate face and she whispered:
"My husband, my methods, and the city are all incomparable to others..."
Seeing the attractive appearance of the beauty in front of him, Ye Mingsheng, who had drunk some wine, couldn't help but become lustful. He held An Miaoyi's delicate catkins and said with a half-smile:
"Madam, you might as well tell me in detail how you treat your husband!"
Seeing Ye Mingsheng's true appearance revealed, An Miaoyi was even more shy and whispered:
"Ms. sir, please stop teasing me..."
"Okay, madam, you have seen me in secret, but I have never seen madam. Isn't this unfair? Madam, how do you think my husband should punish you?" Ye Mingsheng took a step forward and came to An Miaoyi's side. Feeling the faint fragrance emanating from An Miaoyi's body, she said:
Feeling the masculine aura on Ye Mingsheng's face, An Miaoyi, who was the first girl to get on the sedan, was even more helpless and her limbs were weak. She could only close her eyes and said half-pushed:
"Miaoyi is already my husband's wife. I can do whatever my husband wants. I just hope that my husband will take pity on me..."
"hey-hey!"
"················"
(I have omitted 10,000 words here because I was afraid of being blocked by reviewers. Please make up your mind.)
Ye Mingsheng, who had just fallen asleep an hour later, heard An Miaoyi calling him softly in his ear. Ye Mingsheng slowly woke up and only heard An Miaoyi say in his ear:
"My lord, please wake up. Someone is looking for you outside, saying there is an emergency military situation!"
Ye Mingsheng, who was still a little confused when he heard that it was an urgent military situation, woke up from his sleep in an instant and asked:
"What happened?"
"Captain Ye didn't say anything, he just knocked on the door and said there was an emergency military situation!" An Miaoyi explained:
Ye Mingsheng nodded when he heard this, and then he was about to get up from the bed. Seeing this, An Miaoyi also wanted to get up and help Ye Mingsheng dress. However, seeing that she had just broken the melon, and the white cloth on the bed was a puddle of bright red, Ye Mingsheng also stopped her and said:
"You're not feeling well, so there's no need to do this! I might not be back tonight. Just ask them for whatever you need to rest. Let's serve tea to mother together during the day!"
"Well, okay!" An Miaoyi nodded obediently.
Ye Mingsheng put on his clothes and walked out of the room. Outside the room, Ye Kui was waiting for him anxiously. Seeing Ye Mingsheng come out, he immediately came over and whispered:
"Sir, the Khitan has sent troops to attack Fengzhou!"
Because he had expected the other party's move, Ye Mingsheng was not very surprised. He just sighed that what was supposed to come had come...
"How many troops did the Khitan send?" Ye Mingsheng asked:
"The strength of the troops is unclear at the moment, but according to the news sent back by Commander Xun Ke, there are at least 10,000 troops jointly led by Yeluyan and Xiao Tai! Our army has strengthened the walls and cleared the fields according to the plan, and relied on the city to fight back. Everything is going as planned. !”
"In addition to the Khitans, the Zhenwu Army is also in Dongning and Changqing. General He and several staff officers are already waiting for you in the staff department!" Ye Kui continued to introduce:
Ye Mingsheng's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this. Everything on the Khitan side was as expected, and there seemed to be no unexpected news. Seven days ago, the red cannons of the Craftsman Battalion had been built and sent to the Fengzhou front line. With the men, horses and defenses already prepared, plus the red cannons he sent over, Fengzhou should have no problem.
I just don’t know what happened over there in Dongning Mansion...
Ye Mingsheng led Ye Kui towards his headquarters. Half a month ago, he formally established the staff department in the Fengzhou Army and promoted some talented young people as staff officers. Deputy Commander-in-Chief He Jingyun He was appointed chief of staff, and the staff headquarters was set up in a house not far from the camp.
Ye Mingsheng, who came to the staff headquarters to pay attention to the development of the situation, did not bother to chat with everyone, but asked He Jingyun:
"How is the situation in Dongning?"
"I would like to inform you that based on the intelligence sent back an hour ago, the main force of Zhu Chengjie's troops, which was originally confronting our army in the direction of Sanyuan County, Dongning Prefecture, has now withdrawn, leaving only about three to five thousand people stationed in Sanyuan County. The main force is The troops are currently heading towards Dongning City."
"As for the Xue Heping Department of the Zhenwu Army stationed in Fengshan County, there has been no change yet and is still stationed in Fengshan County. The spies from the Coordination Office are still continuing to observe the enemy's movements!" He Jingyun said to Ye Mingsheng:
Ye Mingsheng nodded when he heard this and focused his eyes on the sand table. After looking at the current situation of the enemy and ourselves on the sand table for a while, Ye Mingsheng pointed to the coordinates of Huchuan County on the sand table and asked:
"What's going on with Huchuan now?"
Ye Mingsheng's words While He Jingyun was thinking about it, a young staff officer with a slender figure and a dignified appearance mustered up the courage to speak on his own initiative:
"Let me tell you, Lord Commander, the situation in Huchuan was sent here seven days ago. It is said that there has been no change in the Zhenwu Army's Gao Jincheng Department!"
"Why is this news from seven days ago?" Ye Mingsheng said with some dissatisfaction:
Huchuan in Dongning Prefecture is adjacent to Quang Ninh Prefecture. If the Zhenwu Army wants to attack Quang Ninh Prefecture, it can only advance from Huchuan. Therefore, the current situation in Huchuan is an important factor in judging whether the Zhenwu Army will attack Guangning Prefecture. basis for judgment.
The battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and Ye Mingsheng is very clear about the importance of intelligence, so he also strives for the coordination office to deliver the latest news back faster to provide intelligence support for the combat troops, and seven days is enough for a lot of things to happen in Huchuan... ···············
"I reported back to the people at the Coordination Office, Your Excellency, that the Supervision Department has cracked their stronghold in Hulin. In addition, the enemy troops in the direction of Hulin are engaged in war, so it is difficult to get the news back!" The young staff officer continued to explain:
Ye Mingsheng's expression softened slightly after hearing the other party's explanation. Although the Fengzhou Army and the Zhenwu Army were at war with each other, they had not yet started a full-scale war.
But on the intelligence front, the two sides have fought openly and covertly countless times. They have cracked the opponent's stronghold and captured some hidden spies and hidden stakes. The competition was very fierce. Both sides suffered heavy losses for a while. Ye Mingsheng a few days ago Ten thousand taels of silver were also approved as special funds for the Coordination Office.
Although Ye Mingsheng has relatively high requirements for intelligence, he is also sympathetic to the dangers of working behind enemy lines, so he is also willing to give some tolerance to the Coordination Office, so this time he did not get angry, but just gave instructions;
"Tell Huo San and Wang Xuecheng to investigate the situation in Huchuan immediately!"
"Yes!" said the young staff officer:
Having said this, Ye Mingsheng looked the young staff officer up and down. He looked a little nervous under Ye Mingsheng's gaze, but he still tried hard to keep his expression calm, trying to leave a good impression on Ye Mingsheng. Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng Ming Sheng smiled slightly and said:
"What's your name? Where are you from?"
|Sir, my name is Qi Dechao, from Fengshan County! Your Excellency followed you when you recruited troops in Fengshan County! "Seeing Ye Mingsheng's smile, Qi Dechao was also a little excited and said loudly:
Ye Mingsheng nodded when he heard this and said:
"good!"
After saying that, Ye Mingsheng turned his attention to the sand table and began to think silently.
According to the information currently known about the Zhenwu Army, if his prediction is correct, Wang Muzhi knows that he is getting married, so he is preparing to give a big gift to his wedding... ·
