After discussing the matter from Jiangnan, Gu Sansi, who was appointed by Ye Mingsheng to handle the situation in Qilu, introduced to Ye Mingsheng the changes in the situation in Qilu... ·
"Your Excellency, just half a month ago, Yin Biao sent people to negotiate with our army to purchase arms, but secretly he assembled troops in three directions to attack Bozhou, the home of Han Wenbao! There is a strong momentum to kill Han Wenbao in one fell swoop!"
"However, the spies placed by the General Coordination Office in the Qi Army had already discovered Yin Biao's military deployment. Therefore, when Yin Biao led his troops into action, our army also disclosed the news to Han Wenbao. Han Wenbao, who got the news, Yin Biao's troops were ambushed at Xiaodinggang outside Bozhou City, causing thousands of casualties to Yin Biao's troops!"
"Although Han Wenbao won the first battle with the help of our army's intelligence, Yin Biao was obviously stronger than him. Therefore, in several confrontations after the first battle, Han Wenbao's troops were at a disadvantage. Currently, they can only huddle in Bozhou City. Although Yin Biao's troops are at an advantage, they have suffered heavy casualties in the previous battles and are currently unable to launch an attack on Bozhou City. The situation in Qilu is currently in a stalemate!"
Hearing Gu Sansi's introduction, Ye Mingsheng also began to think thoughtfully. Last year, because the troops fighting against Hebei and Henan suffered too many casualties and were under great financial pressure, he did not launch an offensive against Qilu, but only exerted extreme external pressure, making Internal conflicts broke out in Qilu and Cao Changping was killed.
At that time, according to Ye Mingsheng's idea, he planned to support Yin Biao's rise to control the entire Qilu. However, it was later discovered that Yin Biao was also ambitious. He was not as easy to control as imagined... ·····
Although Yin Biao agreed to join the Fengwu Army due to the situation, he actually wanted to be independent, which Ye Mingsheng could not tolerate, so Ye Mingsheng turned to support Han Wenbao and others to fight against Yin Biao Taiwan, to contain Yin Biao and prevent him from unifying Qilu and becoming the next Cao Changping!
There is no doubt that Yin Biao is not a fool. He has also seen Ye Mingsheng's thoughts. Although on the surface he is still pretending to be a snake with Fengwu Army, in fact he is also secretly accumulating strength and wants to take advantage of Fengwu Army's unpreparedness. To kill Han Wenbao, Han Wenbao would have been in danger this time if the Coordination Office had not obtained the information in advance and prepared against him!
After thinking for a while, Ye Mingsheng asked with some confusion:
"Yin Biao, why don't you wait until Yun Bing starts fighting before taking action?"
Gu Sansi had reported Yin Biao's situation to him before, and the staff department had also made a preview based on this news. The staff department predicted that Yin Biao might take action against Han Wenbao after the Yunbin war began.
The reason for making this prediction is that the Yunbin War will involve a lot of energy from the Fengwu Army, so Yin Biao probably thought this was an opportunity and believed that the Fengwu Army would not fight on two fronts, so he took the risk. Therefore, Yin Biao Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised that Biao took action now.
Facing Ye Mingsheng’s inquiry, Gu Sansi said truthfully:
"Although Han Wenbao killed the two allies Song Peishen and Ma Shanyuan, the process of annexing their territory and troops was not smooth. There was news that Song Peishen's subordinates contacted Yin Biao and wanted to join him, so this was regarded by Yin Biao Opportunity to send troops in large numbers·························"
Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly and said:
"What do Yin Biao think now?"
After hearing this, Gu Sansi continued:
"Yin Biao sent several envoys to our army to ask for help. He also produced a lot of evidence of collusion between Han Wenbao and Xu Zhaojie, hoping to get the support of our army to help him capture Bozhou City. However, I have not seen any of these envoys. Yin Biao had no choice but to ask Sun Jing'an, the chief envoy of Qilu, to go to us personally, and now this Sun Jing'an is in Yijing City,"
Hearing this, Ye Mingsheng asked lightly with a smile on his face:
"I heard that Yin Biao was even willing to use Qilu's taxes as collateral in order to buy firearms?"
"Replying to your lord, this is indeed the case! And it was promoted by Sun Jingan. He is a good friend of Yin Biao and has been actively pushing Yin Biao to move closer to our army!" Gu Sansi nodded and replied:
Hearing Gu Sansi speak kind words for Sun Jing'an, Ye Mingsheng smiled and asked him:
"Have you seen this Sun Jing'an?"
Facing Ye Mingsheng's gaze, Gu Sansi said with a little embarrassment:
"I originally wanted to continue to manipulate Yin Biao, but this Sun Jing'an has a good relationship with Su Yi, so I took the time to meet him!"
"Sun Jing'an was very sincere when talking to me, and he was very eager to meet with you. He apologized to you for Yin Biao's sudden military operation without saying hello to us, and expressed his willingness to hand over the troops in Qilu. Power in exchange for your forgiveness, sir, and our military support!”
Hearing Gu Sansi's narration, the smile on Ye Mingsheng's face gradually turned playful. Yin Biao has always been submissive to his orders since he came to power, but in fact he was disobeying them. Otherwise, he would I won’t ask Han Wenbao to check and balance...
And now that a teacher like Yin Biao is willing to hand over the power of Qilu, he is probably afraid that he will order the First Army stationed in Fengqiu to send troops to Licheng to seize his retreat, and he is doing it as a last resort!
Although I am a little tired of such a villain like Yin Biao, the main energy of the Fengwu Army is indeed concentrated on the Yunbin battlefield. The First Army is also mainly used to deal with Xu Zhaojie, and cannot be used easily to prevent Xu Zhaojie from seizing the opportunity. Secondly, compared to Han Wenbao, who is rumored to be a cannibal and secretly in contact with Xu Zhaojie, Yin Biao is undoubtedly the one who can continue to be used!
Of course, although he still wants to continue to use Yin Biao, this time Ye Mingsheng wants to use this incident to put a dog leash on him, so as to restrain his ambition and arrogance, and let him set his own rules for him. The road goes on!
After pondering for a while, Ye Mingsheng ordered Gu Sansi:
"You go to Ye Cheng later and negotiate with him to see when I have time in the past few days so that I can meet this Sun Jing'an!"
"yes!"

Anqing, Chengfeng County
A middle-aged man with a handsome face and a slender and tall figure was standing on the city wall with his hands behind his hands and looking into the distance. What he was looking at was Fengqiu, an important city in Henan Province, which was less than a hundred miles away.
Just as the middle-aged man was looking quietly, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and then a military general in military uniform led hundreds of guards over and saw the middle-aged man. With his back, the general immediately knelt down and said in great fear:
"The Marquis is personally inspecting the inspection. His humble duty and failure to greet him from a distance is really a crime worthy of death. Please punish me, sir!"
Faced with the military general's apology, the middle-aged man did not look back. He was still looking in the direction of Fengqiu, as if there was some peerless treasure, or a peerless beauty, or an enemy of life and death that was attracting him. Just in front of the middle-aged military general When his heart became more and more uneasy, and even began to feel a little desperate, the middle-aged man with his hands behind his back slowly turned around and said with a smile:
"Songhe, you're here!"
Feeling Xu Zhaojie's gentle tone, Wang Songhe felt as if he was receiving an amnesty and almost cried. But at this time, he could only restrain his emotions and said to Xu Zhaojie very respectfully:
"I came late for my humble duty, please punish me by the Marquis!"
Xu Zhaojie smiled when he heard this, then lifted Wang Songhe who was kneeling on the ground and said:
"This is a private visit I'm traveling lightly and privately. I deliberately didn't let you know about it. Don't be too panicked!"
Facing Xu Zhaojie's comfort, Wang Songhe nodded movedly, and gradually relieved his fear. He was Chen Zongchang's general. Although he had met Xu Zhaojie before, he had not spoken much to Xu Zhaojie.
Therefore, his understanding of Xu Zhaojie was entirely based on the rumors about Xu Zhaojie in the Zhennan Army...
Although Xu Zhaojie is rumored to have fair rewards and punishments, as long as you have made military exploits and met his requirements, he will not hesitate to reward you. He will give you money, land, mansions, beauties, and whatever you want. But if you are defeated, there will be no reward. Complete the tasks he assigned, and no matter you are a relative of his, or an old subordinate who has followed him for more than ten years, Xu Zhaojie will not show mercy at all, and will kill you without mercy!
Didn’t you see that Zhao Hanshu, who had followed Xu Zhaojie since the Xuanwu Army, was mercilessly beheaded by Xu Zhaojie just because of a disastrous defeat of the navy?
The last time Chen Zongchang was ambushed and ambushed by a small force of the Fengwu Army, Xu Zhaojie, while appointing him as the acting commander-in-chief, also ordered him to annihilate this small force to avenge Chen Zongchang, even though Wang Songhe tried his best to get it. Completing this task was appreciated by Xu Zhaojie, but he still escaped back to Jiyu under the eyes of the other party.
Wang Songhe specially wrote to Xu Zhaojie to apologize for this matter, but Xu Zhaojie never responded. Therefore, Wang Songhe has always been very worried, fearing that Xu Zhaojie would chop off his head if he saw that he was doing something bad. However, just when he was still in shock, he He heard the news that Xu Zhaojie had appeared in Chengfeng County. After receiving the news, he immediately rushed to Chengfeng County with his people, and he was also very worried. He didn't know what Xu Zhaojie would do to him.
But now looking at Xu Zhaojie with a gentle attitude, Wang Songhe gradually felt relieved and looked at Xu Zhaojie in front of him with great admiration... ·
Chen Zongchang was ambushed and killed only about a month ago, and the place where he was attacked and killed was not far from Chengfeng County. Because of this incident, the generals and officials of the Zhennan Army all There was a lot of fear that he would become the second Chen Zongchang and be attacked and killed by the Fengwu Army. However, under such circumstances, Xu Zhaojie dared to come to Chengfeng County and came quietly without many guards. This really impressed Wang Songhe. Incessantly.
The Marquis is really the Marquis who does not hold the Fengwu Army in his mouth at all. This domineering and calmness is enough to suppress the Fengwu Army!
Feeling the admiration in Wang Songhe's eyes, Xu Zhaojie knew what he was thinking about writing. This time he secretly inspected Anqing. His original intention was to capture Wang Songhe. After all, this bitch did not complete the task he assigned and let the Fengwu Army do it. The group of bastards left Anqing alive.
When he heard the news a month ago that Chen Zongchang was ambushed by Fengwu troops while inspecting the Anqing front line, Xu Zhaojie in Shouchun couldn't believe his ears!
The Anqing general who he appointed to command tens of thousands of soldiers was ambushed by a small force of Fengwu Army on his own territory?
Are you sure this isn't a joke?
Regarding this news, Xu Zhaojie even thought it was fake news released by the Fengwu Army at first. He knew Chen Zongchang. In his opinion, a strong general like Chen Zongchang, who had overcome so many desperate and dangerous situations, how could he be in this situation? What about capsizing in the sewers on your own territory?
So he scoffed at the news. It wasn't until multiple sources of information came back from Anqing that it was confirmed that Chen Zongchang had indeed died on the spot. Only then did Xu Zhaojie accept the fact with grief and indignation, and he immediately ordered Chen Zongchang's deputy to Wang Songhe sealed the border and cut the Fengwu army who ambushed Chen Zongchang into thousands of pieces...
For this reason, Xu Zhaojie specially ordered Chen Zongchang to be kept in coffin for seven days, waiting for Wang Songhe to send all the Fengwu troops. However, to Xu Zhaojie's extreme disappointment, Wang Songhe messed up all this. He only got dozens of corpses of Fengwu soldiers, but nothing else, allowing more than a hundred Fengwu soldiers to return swaggeringly. Ji Yu is awarded the title!
Although Chen Zongchang was the only one who died, the incident had a huge impact on the Zhennan Army. Many generals of the Zhennan Army wrote letters requesting Xu Zhaojie to launch an army to attack the Fengwu Army and avenge Chen Zongchang. The military forces responded tooth for tooth and eye for eye!
Xu Zhaojie had expected this, so he asked Wang Songhe to wipe out that small force in order to avenge Chen Zongchang!
After all, his top priority right now is plotting to separate Jiangnan from the south, so he doesn't want to have a fight with the Fengwu Army and let Shangguan Hongyuan take advantage of him in a life-and-death fight. For this reason, he even blew up two of his penises. Fingers, he endured it and did not make the matter public. Now that Chen Zongchang was ambushed by the Fengwu Army, although he was angry, he could not make Xu Zhaojie change his planned plan. Therefore, Xu Zhaojie hoped to use this method to avoid interest. The anger of his subordinates suppressed the voice of war against Fengwu Army.
However, Wang Songhe did not fulfill his expectations. To be honest, after receiving the news, Xu Zhaojie almost fainted with anger. He even began to wonder if the Zhennan Army under his command were all a bunch of incompetent losers, which made Fengwu Army so arrogant. After killing someone, he left calmly!
The extreme anger in his heart even made him issue an order to kill Wang Songhe's entire family...
