Faced with Ye Mingsheng's question, Su Yi said without hesitation:
"Yin Biao and Sun Jing'an want to wipe out these three small feudal towns and ask our army to support money, food and arms..."
Ye Mingsheng was not surprised by this answer and continued to ask:
"Can Yin Biao and Sun Jing'an do it?"
Although Ye Mingsheng's tone was very calm, Su Yi's heart tightened when she heard Ye Mingsheng's inquiry. He knew that the time had come to decide the fate of Yin Biao and Sun Jing'an.
After thinking quickly in her mind for a while, Su Yi told Ye Mingsheng very seriously:
"Commander, in terms of the number of soldiers and horses, there is almost no difference between them. Yin Biao has almost 30,000 people, and the three vassal towns combined have almost 30,000 people. However, Yin Biao has almost 30,000 soldiers. They are the elite troops of the Qi Army. They are all veterans who are good at fighting. They are equipped with firearms and cotton armor and have certain combat effectiveness!"
"The troops and horses under the command of those three vassal towns are not as good as those under Yin Biao in terms of combat experience and equipment. Many of them are still using the old-fashioned three-eyed blunderbuss. On average, several people are equipped with one piece of cotton armor. In addition, the most important point is that the three of them, Han Wenbao from Bozhou, Song Peishen from Haiqu, and Ma Shanyuan from Ande, were forced to come together due to the situation. These three people have their own agendas, and it is difficult for them to work together. Work together!”
After listening to Su Yi's story, Ye Mingsheng's eyes flickered, and he did not express his position directly but continued to ask:
"How much food and ammunition does Yin Biao need?"
Su Yi hesitated after hearing this and said:
"Five hundred thousand taels of silver, five hundred thousand stones of grain, five thousand fire guns..."
As soon as these words came out, an expression that looked like a smile but not a smile appeared on Ye Mingsheng's face. Just when Su Yi was about to say something, Ye Mingsheng nodded at him and said:
"You did a good job in this matter. During your stay in Qilu, your family was thinking about you very much. Go back and tell your family that you are safe, and have a good rest. Your health is the capital of doing errands!"
Listening to Ye Mingsheng's words, Su Yi subconsciously wanted to say that his body had recovered, and then continued to persuade Ye Mingsheng. However, seeing the smile on Ye Mingsheng's face, Su Yi seemed to realize something, and immediately closed her mouth smartly. , retreated from Ye Mingsheng's study.
Seeing Su Yi turn and leave, the smile on Ye Mingsheng's face gradually faded. This young man was very talented, but he seemed a little too obsessed with immediate interests. Ye Mingsheng knew that Su Yi did not want to help Yin Biao and Sun Jing'an. , but he was worried that if Su Yi and Sun Jingan fell into trouble, he would see Qi Lu's achievements diminished.
But for Ye Mingsheng, he doesn't care who wins between Yin Biao and the three small feudal towns!
After pondering for a moment, Ye Mingsheng picked up the memorial from the desk and looked at it again. This was the report sent by Huo San about the situation in Qilu.
The general content of the report is that after Cao Changping's death, Han Wenbao, Song Peishen, and Ma Shanyuan took the initiative to express to themselves through the Coordination Office that the three of them were willing to join the Fengwu Army and hoped that the Fengwu Army could support them in taking power.
Compared with Yin Biao, the price demanded by these three people is much lower. They only hope that the Fengwu Army will give them the captured Qi Army prisoners, and then give their family one hundred thousand taels of silver, one hundred thousand stones of grain, and one thousand fire guns. ···························
Although the Fengwu Army made millions of taels of silver and a huge amount of food through the clean-up plan and defeated local tyrants, these money and food were only used after being invested in the army's pension and reward and the reconstruction work in Henan. There were hundreds of thousands of taels of silver left. Although a squeeze could almost meet the needs of this group of people, Ye Mingsheng felt that if he met the needs of these people, he would be a pure injustice.
Ye Mingsheng already has an idea. For now, he will not support either side. On the contrary, he will let the Coordination Office add fuel to the fire, adding fuel to the already tense atmosphere between the two sides and causing them to fight. , this will further reflect the importance of the Fengwu Army. When both sides are exhausted from fighting, the Fengwu Army, which is almost rested, will come in to clean up the mess.
Once Cao Changping died, the Qi army was now torn apart, and there was no one who could hold up the overall situation. Now Qilu is just a piece of fat in front of Ye Mingsheng. It depends on how Ye Mingsheng enjoys this feast.
The only thing that Ye Mingsheng needed to pay attention to was the secret report from the Anqing Army. After two fingers were blown off, Xu Zhaojie endured the sigh, but he hid in the dark like a wounded beast. While constantly licking his wounds and accumulating strength in Huainan, he kept an eye on the situation in Qilu and tried to give Ye Mingsheng a "big gift"
The Coordination Office has already reminded Ye Mingsheng that the Anqing Army is likely to intervene in the situation in Qilu. Ye Mingsheng is not too anxious about this. If Xu Zhaojie really has the guts to have any thoughts in Qilu, then he can make him smart and counterattack. Smart mistake!
As one of the most prosperous provinces in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Huainan has a lot of manpower and material resources to tap. Xu Zhaojie's strength has grown very quickly after occupying Huainan. Therefore, Ye Mingsheng is also considering how to intervene in the situation in Huainan to prevent Xu Zhaojie from developing so much. quick. To achieve this goal, it is not enough to just rely on cavalry to plunder some grain and grass, and coordinate the assassination of some important military and political officials of the Anqing Army. It is necessary to deal a major military blow to the Anqing Army. Qilu may be a good trap· ······················

Early in the morning, in the Guanyin Temple outside Yijing City
Murong Qingwu, who was pretending to be an ordinary tourist, was kneeling in front of the Bodhisattva to pray. About a dozen meters behind her, a dozen strong men in plain clothes were guarding the surrounding area. They were soldiers of the Guards Battalion and were responsible for protecting Murong Qingwu's safety.
Yesterday, Murong Qingwu found Ye Cui and asked to go out of the house to burn incense and worship at the Guanyin Temple. Although Murong Qingwu did not say the purpose, the Guanyin Temple's gift of sending children to Guanyin was very effective, so Ye Cui was the one who came first. It is believed that Murong Qingwu wanted to ask for a child, but was too shy to say so.
Although Murong Qingwu was a concubine in the Ye Mansion, after all, she came from the Murong family, a top family, so Ye Cui also had a high regard for this daughter-in-law and hoped that Murong Qingwu would give Ye Mingsheng a boy and a half girl, so she directly Murong Qingwu's request was approved.
Although she was only Ye Mingsheng's concubine, Murong Qingwu's appearance was not low. Originally, according to the rules, if Murong Qingwu came, the Guanyin Temple should be closed and cleared to prevent others from disturbing Murong Qingwu. However, Murong Qingwu kept a low profile. For the sake of his own name, he refused this arrangement and brought only dozens of plainclothes guards with him. He concealed his identity and came to the Guanyin Temple to offer incense.
Soon after finishing the incense stick, he saw that Murong Qingwu had no intention of leaving. From time to time, there were women around him who were attracted by Murong Qingwu's beauty and secretly peeked at Murong Qingwu from time to time. The guards were responsible for this escort operation. The head Wang Shizhong frowned slightly, but because the other parties were also women, he couldn’t say anything...
As the person responsible for the escort operation, he originally disagreed with Murong Qingwu's idea and felt that the safety risk was too great. However, Murong Qingwu repeatedly insisted on not leaving the scene, and he could not refuse. He could only agree with Murong Qingwu's idea. Now this After finishing the incense, for the sake of Murong Qingwu's safety, it was time for him to escort Murong Qingwu back home. Thinking of this, he immediately whispered to Murong Qingwu's maid Ying'er:
"Miss Ying'er, please tell Madam Murong that there are many people out there who are too arrogant to say that there will be no bad guys attacking Madam, and please Madam Murong to return home quickly!"
Although these words were said to Ying'er, they were heard by Murong Qingwu. She immediately smiled apologetically at Wang Shizhong and said:
"Wang Dutou also asks you to wait here for a while. When you come, the old lady asked me to ask Master Huiqing here a question!"
Knowing that Mrs. Ye Cui believed deeply in Buddhism, Wang Shizhong naturally would not refuse such a request and immediately bowed and said:
"I understand!"
Nodding slightly at Wang Shizhong, Murong Qingwu and a little nun walked into the Sutra Pavilion. After entering the Sutra Pavilion, the door of the Sutra Pavilion was closed. Seeing this, Wang Shizhong's eyebrows suddenly She frowned, a little worried about Murong Qingwu's safety.
At the same time, in the Sutra Pavilion, a young and handsome man and an old nun appeared in front of Murong Qingwu. He looked at the man beside him, then at Murong Qingwu, and the old nun Huiqing. There was a flash of disdain in the mage's eyes, and he whispered to the young and handsome man in front of him:
"This is an important place for Buddhism. Don't go too far, or you will suffer retribution!"
After saying that, the old nun Huiqing walked away. Seeing the young and handsome man, he looked a little embarrassed, and said helplessly to Murong Qingwu:
"I'm afraid this old nun thinks you and I are adulterers and adulterers who meet secretly..."
When Murong Qingwu heard this, she glared at the man in front of her angrily and said coldly:
"Third brother, what do you want to do in such a hurry to meet me? Although you are my brother, if someone finds out, it will be difficult for you and me to tell you!"
Upon hearing this, Murong Hui waved his hands and whispered:
"Third brother naturally knows the risks, but there must be something big going on when I come to you. Qing Wu, please come here with your ears!"
Seeing that Murong Hui was so mysterious, Murong Qingwu immediately came over with some curiosity, and Murong Hui also whispered in her ear. Listening to what Murong Hui said, Murong Qingwu's beautiful face immediately appeared He looked shocked and said in disbelief:
"How could uncle do this? It's too cruel...and it puts him in danger!"
Murong Hui smiled and said:
"Don't worry, everything is under control. He is heavily guarded and it's not easy to attack. If it succeeds this time, I don't think An Miaoyi has the nerve to be such a royal lady!"
Murong Qingwu looked a little unbearable when he heard this, while Murong Hui comforted him:
"Qingwuyou is so kind-hearted. An Miaoyi even wants to kill you. What we are doing is just a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye. They started it first. Besides, we are only trying to kill her, and we have not killed her. An Miaoyi's fate, originally I didn't want to tell you this matter so soon, but since the southern patrol court is gone, things on our side have to speed up. Let me tell you earlier so that you can be prepared earlier!"
After listening to what Murong Hui said, Murong Qingwu had a complicated look on her face. She came to Guanyin Temple this time just to receive news from Murong Hui. To be honest, she was a little doubtful on the way here, wondering whether Murong Hui was really necessary. To make it so mysterious, you run the risk of being discovered and unable to explain clearly.
After all, although Murong Hui couldn't enter the backyard of Ye Mansion, she, Murong Qingwu, could visit her relatives and meet each other. Moreover, meeting in Murong Mansion would ensure safety. But now after listening to what Murong Hui said, she knew that Murong Hui had done a very good job. Correct, at this time, I must reduce the number of meetings with my family to avoid being noticed...
"Qingwu, this old nun Huiqing has something in my hands. If you have anything to do, we can meet here!" Murong Hui whispered:
Murong Qingwu nodded slightly and said:
"Third brother, you have to take care of yourself too!"
Murong Hui nodded slightly and said again:
"Don't worry, my father should have a letter delivered in the coming days. We will make some adjustments according to the changes in the situation. Just be aware of it in Ye Fuzhong. Even if An Miaoyi bullies you, please bear with it first. Come on, she doesn’t have a few good days left, when the time comes, Qingwu, you’ll have to settle the score with her!”
Murong Qingwu shook her head and said:
"The old lady took good care of me and I wasn't bullied much!"
"That's good!" Murong Hui said with a smile:
Because time was tight, Murong Qingwu quickly said goodbye to Murong Hui, and took Ying'er and two people out of the Scripture Pavilion. As soon as they walked out of the Scripture Pavilion, Murong Qingwu discovered the existence of Wang Shizhong. This devoted man At the head of the guard camp, when he saw Murong Qingwu entering the Scripture Pavilion and not coming out for a long time, he was a little worried and hesitated whether to go in to check.
Now that he saw Murong Qingwu walking out of the Jing Pavilion, Wang Shizhong felt relieved. Murong Qingwu did not make any other requests. Under the escort of his personal guards, he got on the carriage back home. Murong sat in the carriage. In Qing Wu's mind, she still kept thinking about what Murong Hui had just said in her ears, and the thoughts in her mind couldn't help but become complicated.
Although he had long known that his uncle would take action, Murong Qingwu never expected that as soon as his uncle took action, he would go straight to the gate of life, killing people and killing people. If this thing happened, even if Ye Mingsheng missed his old feelings, those who served in the military army would Even the important ministers will not agree...
