In addition to his own situation that made Ye Mingsheng decide to send troops as soon as possible, the situation in Gongdu also made Ye Mingsheng determined to cut through the mess quickly!
Ever since he learned that Wang Kangxin was seizing power in the palace and colluding with Shen Jianzhong, Ye Mingsheng had a bad feeling, so he kept asking Huo San to collect intelligence about the palace. After these days, Huo San's work was also He reported some results to Ye Mingsheng.
From this, Ye Mingsheng also learned that Wang Kangxin’s control over the new army in Gongdu was not strong. The reason why no one in Gongdu has stepped forward to fight Wang Kangxin was because of the secret help of the Black Dragon Society and Shen Jianzhong. Even so, Gongdu Although the situation in the capital is peaceful on the surface, there are actually undercurrents surging. Even the alliance between Wang Kangxin and the Black Dragon Society seems to be incompatible with each other, and conflicts occur frequently...
If it weren't for Ye Mingsheng, the common enemy of both parties, maybe the two families would have started fighting!
To be honest, if it weren't for the Fengwu Army's top priority to sneak into the border and attack Youyan, and they must ensure that everything is foolproof and cannot be delayed or affected, Ye Mingsheng can really delay it. I believe it won't take half a year, Wang Kangxin and Heilong The conflict between the two parties can no longer be bridged, and civil war in the palace is an inevitable result!
It is because the internal situation in the palace is so chaotic that Ye Mingsheng firmly believes that as long as his offensive is rapid and the results are brilliant, the already unpopular Wang Kangxin's rule in the palace will immediately fall apart and he will not be able to hold on for too long!
If you want to occupy the palace capital, one month is definitely not enough. However, Ye Mingsheng's purpose in this battle is not to occupy the palace capital, but to crush the alliance between Wang Kangxin and Shen Jianzhong and eliminate the trouble of sneak attack on Youyan. , if you want to make a fortune from the palace by the way, that would be the best thing...
Although there are still some differences of opinion, He Jingyun also understands that what Ye Mingsheng said makes sense. Rather than being restrained by Wang Kangxin's new army in the palace and affecting the entry of too many troops after the spring of next year, it is better to take the initiative to kill Wang Kangxin now. Kang Xin, do this once and for all and leave no future troubles!
Realizing this, He Jingyun took a deep breath, raised his hands to Ye Mingsheng and said:
"I will obey the general's orders!"
Seeing that He Jingyun had figured it out, Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly. Among the leaders of the Fengwu Army, he and He Jingyun had a clear division of labor. He was mainly responsible for strategy, such as who to fight, while He Jingyun was responsible for formulating specific tactics. Fight, now that He Jingyun can understand his strategic intentions, he can naturally better implement the strategy into tactics.
"I plan to mobilize Yuan Song's first division, Guo Zhiping's third division, and Peng Ce's fourth division to attack Gongdu. The combat time is set to be one month. Even if the planned goal is not achieved, we are not allowed to fight in Gongdu immediately. To withdraw, don’t fight a war of attrition in the palace! Your staff will come up with a battle plan as soon as possible!" Ye Mingsheng pondered for a moment and made a final decision:
When he finished speaking and saw Ye Mingsheng being so calm, the last trace of worry in He Jingyun's heart disappeared and he immediately expressed his stance:
"Sir, I will hand over the battle plan to you in two days!"
As the chief of staff of the Fengwu Army, He Jingyun knows the combat effectiveness of the Fengwu Army best. He is not worried at all about whether the Fengwu Army can defeat the Gongdu New Army. What he is worried about is the weather and logistical supplies. ·················
After fighting for a lifetime, He Jingyun has deeply realized that war is not just a contest between the two armies, but also a contest on many levels such as the mobilization ability, organizational ability, logistics support, fighting will, and comprehensive strength of both sides.
Ye Mingsheng only prepares to fight in the palace for one month, which is the best option at present. If the fighting time is longer and the consumption is too high, it will affect the Fengwu Army's plan to enter the pass. By then, even if it can be defeated In the palace capital, too, the loss outweighs the gains due to small losses.

Outside Dongning City, in the dilapidated Earth Temple.
Hearing the familiar footsteps behind him, Kobayakawa Takahide, who was carefully examining the dilapidated earth statue, spoke without looking back.
"You are late············"
"There are some things at home, which delayed a little time!"
Standing next to Kobayakawa Takahide, Akiyama Morie also looked at the earth statue in front of him.
There seemed to be some mystery on this earth statue, which attracted the two women. The two of them did not say another word for nearly a cup of tea. After a while, Kobayakawa Takahide took the lead in retracting his gaze from the earth statue. , said something like:
"Do you mind telling me how you met him?"
Although Kobayakawa Takahide didn't say who he was, there was no doubt that Akiyama Morie knew who she was talking about, and asked in surprise:
"Why are you asking about this suddenly? Did he say something to you?"
Kobayakawa Takahide shook his head and said:
"It's nothing, Mori, if you don't want to say it, forget it, just pretend I didn't ask!"
Seeing this, Akiyama Morie hesitated for a moment, but chose to explain:
"At that time, there was a spy within the organization. Kuroki Shinnosuke and I were targeted by the Inspectorate at our stronghold in the palace capital. In order to get rid of the siege by the Inspectorate and save my life, Kuroki Shinnosuke used a trick, and I took advantage of the situation. Arrive at his side."
I planned to leave and return to the organization as soon as possible, but then I thought it would be good to continue like this. I don’t have to worry about whether you kill him today or he will kill you tomorrow. And as you know, he is also very good to me, so it just happened by accident. Went down..."
Hearing this answer, it was Kobayakawa Takahide who was surprised. She frowned and said:
"Didn't you see his heroic appearance and promising future, so you committed yourself to accompany him?"
"This is because you think too much. When I first met him, he was just a little military attache who was in constant panic and couldn't protect himself. He didn't have any heroic appearance, and he didn't see any future... ······As for now, maybe this is what Zhou people said, if you don’t sing, you will be a blockbuster!" Akiyama Morie explained:
Hearing this, Kobayakawa Takahide looked at his dear sister and was really speechless. Back then, she had put in a lot of effort to get a suitable identity for Akiyama Morie, and prepared to arrange for her to go to the Palace of the Palace to become a noble concubine. From then on, The younger sister is in the light and the older sister is in the dark. The sisters join forces to control the palace.
She originally thought that her sister gave up on her plan because she saw the potential of that person, so she used her charm. Unexpectedly, Morie was really stupid. She didn't want the glory and wealth of the imperial concubine, and she just followed a little kid. The military attache ran away. Morie was the only woman in the world who could do such a thing that was indifferent to fame and wealth.
But maybe stupid people have stupid blessings. Now that person is hiding in the abyss. If he really develops, being an ordinary concubine next to him will be more glorious and glorious than being the queen of the palace!
After adjusting his mood, Kobayakawa Takahide continued to ask:
"You said last time that he knew your identity. What happened? Did he say something or did you guess it, Morie?"
Akiyama Morie shook his head when he heard this and said:
"He never took the initiative to ask me anything, but I felt like he knew everything, as if everything was under his control..."
Speaking of this, Akiyama Morie's watery eyes showed some complexity. Her life experience was her biggest secret, and it was also the most difficult secret for her to tell. Sometimes she really wanted to tell the truth, but she was afraid that after she finished speaking, she would lose her present. everything of!
"That's how you feel? Is there no evidence?" Kobayakawa Takahide continued to ask:
Akiyama Morie thought for a while, recalled and said:
"Although he treats me as always, he has a loyal and loyal general. When the two of us met, I could feel that there was wariness in his eyes when he looked at me, and there was also a hint of fear... ·······I think he must know something, and if he knows, then he will definitely report it to Ye Mingsheng!"
Hearing this situation, Kobayakawa Takahide's expression became serious. Seeing her like this, Akiyama Morie couldn't help but look at her, waiting for an answer.
Under the gaze of Akiyama Morie, Kobayakawa Takahide first shook his head, and then continued:
"I reached an agreement with him. The Fengwu Army should send troops to Gongdu within seven days! Mori, you should hand over the list to me now, right?"
After hearing this, Morie Akiyama stood quietly, as if thinking about something. Seeing her like this, Kobayakawa Takahide also said anxiously:
"What are you still hesitating about? This is not for me! You don't even look at what the weather is like now. The Fengwu Army doesn't have much time. The list in your hand is crucial!"
After saying this, Akiyama Morie remained silent for a while, then sighed and said quietly:
"Although I don't like Kuroki Shinnosuke, I promised him back then that I would safely hand over the list to the higher-ups. During this period of time, I have decided to leave. I also planned to let this list disappear and I didn't want to use it. Come and deal with the Black Dragon Society..."
"Morie, what are you thinking? The Black Dragon Society has now become Sato Kaga's. Even I was forced to become a lost dog by him. Now that list is our best chance to make a comeback. To deal with Sato Kaga Old thief, why do you have any tolerance?" Kobayakawa Takahide admonished:
Akiyama Morie was silent for a while, then reluctantly nodded. Seeing this, Kobayakawa Takahide felt happy and asked immediately:
"Morie, where did you put the list?"
'The list has been burned by me! 'Akiyama Mori replied:
Before he finished speaking, Kobayakawa Takahide couldn't hide his disappointment when he heard that the list had been burned:
"Morie, how could you burn the list? Don't you know how valuable it is?"
Akiyama Mori frowned slightly and said coldly:
"Listen to what I have to say! Why are you so anxious?"
"I burned the list, but before I burned it, I had written down everything on the list. I will give you the list as soon as I find paper and pen!"
Kobayakawa Takahide, who was originally very depressed, was filled with joy again after hearing these words and said happily:
"Yes, why did I forget? Mori, you have a photographic memory. When you were a child, you could recite a long medical book after reading it once..."

Gongdu, in a craftsman's workshop in Ruishan County.
Looking at the enthusiastic craftsmen working in the workshop, Shen Jianzhong nodded slightly and asked Xu Liu, the person in charge of the factory behind him:
"How many craftsmen are currently employed in the factory? What is the firearms output?"
Hearing Shen Jianzhong's inquiry, Xu Liu did not dare to neglect and quickly replied:
"I'm telling you, your lord, our factory is now running day and night, with sufficient supply of raw materials. However, these Gongdu people are very unskilled in making firearms for the first time. Although they make a lot, the yield rate is very low... ·······”
Before Xu Liu finished speaking, Shen Jianzhong interrupted him and asked in a deep voice:
"Don't tell me this, just tell me how many firearms your factory can produce every month!"
Feeling Shen Jianzhong's tone, Xu Liu, who was worried in his heart, wiped the fine sweat on his forehead and said cautiously:
"I'm telling you, sir, my factory currently produces only fifty firearms per month at most!"
Hearing this answer, Shen Jianzhong's expression became even more gloomy. He glanced at Xu Liu with a cold gaze. Seeing this, Xu Liu lowered his voice and said mournfully:
"Sir, I have tried my best, and I have used all the methods I can use, including killing people and giving heavy rewards. But these people in Gongdu are so confused, just to get these fifty Damn it, I have already lowered the standard of quality..."
Looking at Xu Liu who was about to cry, Shen Jianzhong's heart was undoubtedly heavy. When Wang Kangxin imposed this task on him, although he knew that this task was very heavy, it seems that he still underestimated the difficulty now. .
Xu Liu is the only one around him who understands technology and management. Even if he is replaced, there will be no better candidate than Xu Liu for a while!
Although in addition to the firearms factory in Xu Liu, he also has another factory in Liu Jing, but the factory in Liu Jing is not as good as the one in Xu Liu in terms of the number of craftsmen and the scale of the factory.
The situation on Xu Liu's side is so bad now, and it won't be much better if Liu Jing's side is there. It can only be worse and even more disappointing! If the current situation continues to develop, the two factories combined, including all the production capacity, will definitely not be able to meet the 100 pills per month required by Wang Kangxin... ·······
Thinking of this, Shen Jianzhong continued to ask Xu Liu unwillingly:
"Is there really no other way?"
