Listening to Zhao Fuqu's words and feeling his sincere eyes, although Huang Wenze was still very unwilling, he could only sigh in his heart, bowed to Zhao Fuqu helplessly and said:
"In the future, please ask the commander-in-chief to focus on military and political affairs..."
Seeing that Huang Wenze no longer mentioned the Hu family, Zhao Fuqu finally showed a happy smile on his face, nodded in agreement and said:
"This is natural. When our army is defeated, I will naturally regroup and have a good fight with the young boy named Ye!"
Huang Wenze has followed him for decades, and he was able to dominate Youyan because of his Hummer contribution. Therefore, he has always been Zhao Fuqu's most trusted mastermind and Zhao Fuqu's right-hand man. As Huang Wenze said, Feng Wenze under Ye Mingsheng's command The military force is approaching with great force, threatening to devour Youyan.
Therefore, Zhao Fuqu also knew that he and the Yan army had reached the most dangerous moment. If he wanted to withstand the violent storm of the Fengwu army at this time, the first thing he needed to do was to unite sincerely within himself, so that everyone could work together to deal with the Fengwu army. Military force!
It was precisely because he was aware of this that Zhao Fuqu chose to retreat instead of advancing in the face of Huang Wenze's advice, in order to win over his mastermind and prevent him from being alienated and dealing with the wolf cub Ye Mingsheng. Zhao Fuqu We need Huang Wenze to do his best!
Huang Wenze frowned slightly when he heard Zhao Fuqu calling Ye Mingsheng a brat. At that time, Ye Mingsheng was in a corner and had just unified the poor and weak Liaoyang. And Zhao Fuqu had been running Youyan for decades and had a strong army. Naturally, he had the right to look down on him who had just embarked on this journey. Ye Mingsheng Zhang Zhengbao at the poker table.
But now that Ye Mingsheng has conquered Yijing, your home base, and you still look down on Ye Mingsheng, it would be too much. If you continue to fight against the Fengwu Army with this mentality, it is really dangerous. ···············
Just when Huang Wenze was hesitating to remind Zhao Fuqu, he didn't know if Zhao Fuqu had seen what he was thinking. He looked east in the direction of Yi Jing and sighed with a complicated expression:
"While I was lying here, I kept thinking whether I had underestimated Ye Mingsheng. How powerful Shangguan Hongyuan was. He was the most powerful minister in the world. I have been fighting with him for decades, whether it was openly or secretly. He insisted that there was nothing he could do to me, but how long did it take for this Ye Mingsheng to rise to prominence? It only took a little over a year for him to be fully prepared, but I even lost Yi Jingdu and lived like a dog for a long time... ····”
Listening to Zhao Fuqu's emotion and realizing that Zhao Fuqu had begun to value his Ye Mingsheng, Huang Wenze was extremely pleased. He immediately organized words to cheer Zhao Fuqu up and said:
"Commander, although Ye Mingsheng is ambitious and a wolf who eats people without spitting out bones, he is still far behind Shangguan Hongyuan!"
"The reason why there is such a big gap between the commanders is not that Ye Mingsheng is more powerful than Shangguan Hongyuan, but that you regard Shangguan Hongyuan as your biggest enemy in life, so when facing Shangguan Hongyuan, you will be cautious You Shen was afraid that you would make the slightest mistake, but when facing Ye Mingsheng, you relied on your strength and were full of contempt and contempt for Ye Mingsheng, so you let Ye Mingsheng take advantage of the loophole!"
"Although Yijing has fallen and most of the land in Youyan is about to be taken away by the Fengwu Army, after all, the Fengwu Army has just entered the pass, and our army has been running Youyan for decades, and the hearts of the people of Youyan are still with us. Yes, as long as you, Commander-in-Chief, can regain your strength, the possibility of recapturing Yijing and driving Fengwu Army out of Youyan is still very high!"
After Huang Wenze's words, Zhao Fuqu, who was originally looking a little depressed, immediately had a glimmer of hope in his old eyes. He looked at Huang Wenze expectantly and said:
"Mr. Huang, do you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?"
Under Zhao Fuqu's gaze, Huang Wenze nodded and said calmly:
"If my prediction is correct, the Fengwu Army's next offensive may have to be postponed for a while..."
Listening to Huang Wenze's analysis, Zhao Fuqu was a little surprised and asked:
"The Fengwu Army defeated Yong'er one after another and captured Yi Jing. Now is the time when morale is at its highest. How could they stop here?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Wenze explained:
"Since the Fengwu Army entered the Pass with a sneak attack, they have indeed achieved brilliant results. They defeated our army and abandoned their helmets and armor and were in a miserable state. However, this cannot cover up one thing, that is, the fact that Liaoyang is poor and weak. According to my observation, this time we entered Ye Mingsheng of the Guan Fengwu Army personally went into battle, and the Fengwu Army dispatched its three main divisions: the First Division, the Second Division, and the Third Division. Not only that, they also pieced together 20,000 people from the rear to form a mixed division to support!"
"So far, the number of troops dispatched by the Fengwu Army has reached 80,000, and this is basically the limit of the troops and horses that the Fengwu Army can dispatch! It is also these 80,000 troops that allow the Fengwu Army to defeat our army. The advantage of having all the troops and horses in front of us is one of the important reasons why our army is retreating steadily!"
"But while this has brought a strength advantage to the Fengwu Army, it has also increased the pressure on the Fengwu Army's logistical supplies. Since Ye Mingsheng took charge of Liaoyang, although Liaoyang has been completely renewed from the inside out, Ye Mingsheng has only just made full plans. He has been in charge of Liaoyang for more than a year..."
"Although Liaoyang has changed a lot under Ye Mingsheng's hands, he is not a Daluo god. In such a short period of time, he cannot completely change Ye Mingsheng's situation of poverty and weakness!"
"And it has been almost a month since the Fengwu Army sneaked into the pass. The 80,000-strong army spent a month fighting, and I am afraid that all the money and food Ye Mingsheng had accumulated would have been consumed long ago. So regardless of the Fengwu Army's current situation, The results are brilliant, but in reality their logistical support may be almost unsustainable!"
The more he listened to Huang Wenze's analysis, the more Zhao Fuqu thought it made sense. He suddenly became excited. Even his cloudy eyes burst out with a glimmer of light as he looked at Huang Wenze and said directly:
"Wenze, do you mean that we take this opportunity to launch a counterattack now?"
When Huang Wenze heard this, he knew that Zhao Fuqu had misunderstood what he meant. He shook his head with regret and said:
"Sir, we only brought back more than 40,000 soldiers and horses from Yunhe. If General Zhao Yong is still there or Yi Jing is still in our hands, then we should naturally launch a counterattack immediately. But now that Yi Jing has been lost, General Zhao Yong is also It is really unwise for our army to launch a counterattack without having an advantage in terms of strength and situation when we are defeated by the enemy!"
"In addition, although the Fengwu Army's current logistics is unsustainable, the enemy has occupied our land in Youyan after all. They can obtain supplies on the spot. Therefore, the Fengwu Army's later supply problem is only temporary and will not last too long. time················"
Huang Wenze's words were like a ladle of cold water. While helping Zhao Fuqu realize the reality, they also extinguished the small fire that had just been ignited in his heart. After sighing, Zhao Fuqu asked Huang Wenze:
"If that's the case, Wenze, what should we do now?"
Faced with Zhao Fuqu's inquiry, Huang Wenze replied solemnly:
"I believe that we should respond appropriately. During the window period when the Fengwu Army suspends its offensive, the first step is to contact the loyal people in Yijing, Jizhou, Yuyang and other places and let them organize forces to harass the Fengwu Army in the rear. , blocking the Fengwu Army's food routes, harassing the Fengwu Army's grain, grass and gunpowder depots and other important implementations, making the Fengwu Army exhausted and exhausted, containing part of the Fengwu Army's forces, and reducing the pressure on our army on the frontal battlefield! "
"The next thing our army needs to do is to return to Zhuoxian, Xinle, Shunping, Lingqiu and other places that are still loyal to our army, gather the defeated troops and regroup, rely on these cities to form a solid line of defense, and wait and see how the situation changes. !”
"The third point, and the most important point, is to ask for help from outside. With the current strength of our army, it is difficult to defeat the Fengwu Army. Therefore, in order to drive the Fengwu Army out of Youyan as soon as possible, our army should seek help from other princes. The help of our army, such as Gao Zongchang of Hebei and Henan, and Cao Changping of Qilu, are all targets that our army can win over. We can even make use of the Luobi people on the grassland. !”
After listening to Huang Wenze's words, Zhao Fuqu showed hesitation, hesitated for a moment and asked:
"Forget about the Luo Bei people. Their ambitions are still better than Ye Mingsheng's. What's more, we have been fighting for decades as a life-and-death feud. If the news leaks out, I'm afraid the morale of the army will be in chaos. As for Cao Changping and Gao Zongchang, I support your idea, Wen Ze." , but are they really willing to help us at this time?"
Looking at Huang Wenze, Zhao Fuqu's eyes were very heavy. Since the Luo'an Incident, Shangguan Hongyuan's strength had declined significantly and he was unable to intervene in Youyan's affairs. Zhao Fuqu regarded this as great good news. With strong troops and strong horses, Youyan's cavalry would be invincible in all battles. He began to seek to expand around Youyan, so he and his two neighbors, Gao Zongchang, the commander of Yujingdu, and Cao Changping, the military commander of Qilu, were very tense, and there were often some frictions.
If it were normal times, Zhao Fuqu would naturally not care about the feelings of these two people, but now that he was beaten so hard by Ye Mingsheng, Gao Zongchang and Cao Changping would be considered good if they didn't add insult to injury and give him a blow. Now, would they be willing to send troops to fight the surging Ye Mingsheng for themselves?
Feeling Zhao Fuqu's doubts, Huang Wenze introduced:
"Commander, this matter is human-made. Although our Yan army had some unpleasantness with Gao Zongchang and Cao Changping in the past, most of them were scoldings. The most serious ones were just minor frictions. They have not reached the point of fighting with each other, so we There is still room for improvement in the relationship between the two parties..."
"And the most important point is that Gao Zongchang and Cao Changping should both understand the truth of lip death and tooth decay!"
"I believe both of them already knew about the Fengwu Army's entry into the Pass. In less than a month, the Fengwu Army captured Jizhou and Yijing one after another, and took away half of my land in Youyan. I don’t believe that Gao Zongchang and Cao Changping would not be deeply afraid of the Fengwu Army!”
"Ye Mingsheng is rumored to be a man who watches eagles and wolves watch, so our army can use a little trick to promote Ye Mingsheng's wolf ambition, saying that after he captured Youyan, he changed his mind and continued to attack Qilu and Jiyu south!"
"Then the next step is to secretly spread rumors among the people, saying that the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been exhausted, Ye Mingsheng is the man of destiny, and he is going to change the dynasty and unify the world! In short, it is to blow Ye Mingsheng to the sky and let Gao Zongchang and Cao Changping confront Ye Mingsheng. A certain Mingsheng is scared and wants to make them believe that after Ye Mingsheng defeats us, he will attack them next!"
"In this way, I believe that Gao Zongchang and Cao Changping will do their best for their own safety to help our army resist the invasion of the Fengwu Army! Although the Fengwu Army under Ye Mingsheng has sharp weapons and high fighting spirit, I believe With the combined efforts of the three of us, we will definitely kill him and drive him out of the pass!" Huang Wenze looked at Zhao Fuqu with blazing eyes and said decisively:
After hearing Huang Wenze's vicious plan, Zhao Fuqu fell into thinking. After a long time, he raised his head and gave Huang Wenze a thumbs up and said with admiration:
"Wenze, this is the rumored move to kill you, right? It's not unfair at all for Ye Mingsheng, a little wolf, to die in your hands... ···”
·······················
·······················
Ye Mingsheng, who still didn't know that Huang Wenze was planning to make him the "man of destiny", was holding a small-scale meeting in a heavily guarded courtyard in Yijing.
Lin Huaiwu stood up from the queue and reported to Ye Mingsheng.
"I'm telling you, sir, the situation of the Yan army in Jiangshan County has been figured out. The enemy army in Vietnam has 45,000 people, all of whom are the elite Yan army brought back from the clouds by Zhao Fuqu. Among them, there are about 8,000 to 10,000 cavalry troops. scale!"
"They are currently entrenched in the Jiangshan County area, and there is no movement. The scouts and Feihu Camp are closely observing their movements. As long as there is any movement in the enemy army, they will immediately send the news!"
"As for Zhao Jian'an, he has already led more than a thousand defeated soldiers to flee in panic towards Zhuoxian County. Our officers and soldiers obeyed your orders, and did not stop him along the way, allowing him to leave calmly!"
After listening to Lin Huaiwu's report, Ye Mingsheng nodded and waved, signaling Lin Huaiwu to return to the queue. Then he turned his attention to Wang Xuecheng, deputy director of the Coordination Office, who was at the end of the queue and asked:
"Have the spies from the General Control Office in Jiangshan County found out about Yan Jun's situation?"
Facing Ye Mingsheng's gaze, Wang Xuecheng felt some pressure, but he could only bite the bullet and said:
"Since Mr. Binggao discovered that Zhao Fuqu led his army to Jiangshan County, our Coordination Office mobilized all the forces in Jiangshan County to detect the enemy's situation. There is no news yet, but I believe the news has been On the way, there will be news soon..."
