After listening to Zhao Han's analysis, Ye Mingsheng told him to pay attention to the situation on the front line at all times and ensure the supply of front line materials. Ye Mingsheng ended the confidential meeting and returned to his governor's palace... ·······················
Ye Mingsheng leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought. After he decided to eat Qilu, He Jingyun, Cui Shao, Gu Sansi and other important ministers of the Fengwu Army all expressed to him overtly and secretly that the current stalls of the Fengwu Army It's too big, and the Fengwu Army's financial resources are too thin to support the third-line deployment of troops!
In fact, they didn't need to remind them. Ye Mingsheng himself was aware of this problem, and in order to solve the problem, he decided to go on the defensive in the Battle of Yunbin!
In fact, this time in the Battle of Yunbin, Ye Mingsheng did not want to be passively defensive at first, but wanted to compete with Shangguan Hongyuan for the initiative in the war. Even the General Staff had planned two For many months, the two sides fought in the field. .
The Fengwu Army has assembled Lin Huaiwu's Second Army in Jinzhong and Guo Zhiping's Third Army, totaling more than 100,000 people. Ye Mingsheng originally planned to lead the newly formed Zhang Meng 7th Division, Ye Dong's 9th Division, and It was originally planned to form the 10th Division to participate in the war.
In the initial calculation, although the number of soldiers and horses under Shangguan Hongyuan was approximately twice that of our own side, according to intelligence inference, the Fengwu Army's artillery advantage was about three times that of the other side, so even if it was placed in the wilderness, Ye Mingsheng, who opened a battle formation and had an advantage in cavalry and artillery, was still very confident that he could defeat Shangguan Hongyuan in one battle... ····
However, a letter from Murong Lun resulted in a 30% reduction in profits from Jiangnan trade, and the plan to train the 10th Division came to an end. Others were not as good as God, and always remained silent in the face of provocations from the Fengwu Army. Xu Zhaojie, who was thought by Ye Mingsheng to attack Jiangnan first, changed his usual low-key and forbearing attitude towards the Fengwu Army and began to make small moves on the front line in Hebei and Henan.
And his move to join forces with Yin Biao forced Ye Mingsheng to face the question of whether to go to the northern or southern route. For this reason, after Ye Mingsheng carefully considered it, he chose to abandon Zhang Meng's 7th Division and Ye Dong's 9th Division. The two strategic reserves of the Fengwu Army did not intend to invest in the Yunbin battlefield. Instead, they chose to let Zhang Meng's 7th Division rush to Licheng to control the situation in Qilu as soon as possible and prevent Xu Zhaojie and Yin Biao from taking advantage of any opportunity. !
In the original plan, Ye Mingsheng planned to come to the Yunbin battlefield in person, and the staff recommended that he make the final decision. However, because of the change of strategy, Ye Mingsheng did not go to Yunbin but stayed in Yijing. So The fact that there were two commanders, Lin Huaiwu and Guo Zhiping, on the Yunbin battlefield was a command problem. In order to solve this problem, Ye Mingsheng chose to let He Jingyun go out to Yunbin to take command.
Although the current offensive of the Forbidden Army is very fierce, with 170,000 troops divided into three groups, most of them are ready to fight the Fengwu Army in the first decisive battle on the Yunbin battlefield and decide the world in one battle. However, Ye Mingsheng knows that the offensive of the Forbidden Army is fierce and fierce. , but it cannot last long. After all, the cost of more than 200,000 troops eating horses and chewing horses every day can be said to be an astronomical figure... ······
Although Shangguan Hongyuan killed the southern patrol court and regained control of the young emperor, the Luo'an court led by him was exhausted and unable to make ends meet. The reason why he was able to pull out another twenty-two troops after more than half a year An army of tens of thousands fought against him, completely squeezing the people under the control of the Luo'an court to the extreme.
But even so, according to the estimates of the staff department, Shangguan Hongyuan's offensive of more than 200,000 people will only last for two months at most. If he cannot win Jinzhong for more than two months, he will probably not be able to pay wages. , there may even be problems with the supply of food and grass.
Although the Fengwu Army's finances are not very good, according to the joint calculations of the Financial Secretary, the Chief Secretary, and the General Staff, as long as the intensity of the war is not too high and there are no large-scale casualties on the front line, the Fengwu Army can combine two An army of 100,000 soldiers and horses can last for about three months, which is exactly one month longer than the forbidden army.
Based on this judgment and on the advice of the staff, Ye Mingsheng formulated a tactic of active defense on the Yunbin battlefield to delay changes based on the current situation. If necessary, he could abandon the surrounding counties and save the main force to defend Jinzhong City until two days later. Months later, the Forbidden Army fell into an offensive bottleneck period, while the Fengwu Army made progress on the Qilu battlefield and then returned to Shiyun and launched a counterattack!
In the original plan, although Ye Mingsheng did not expect to completely defeat the Luo'an court led by Shangguan Hongyuan in the first battle, he also hoped to recapture Dagu County, capture Jinyang, control the entire Yunbin area, and completely control the peace and prosperity of the country. The strategic initiative between the Luoan court···························
And now because of the changes in the situation, Ye Mingsheng has also lowered his expectations for Yun Bing's results!
Ye Mingsheng does not need to control the entire Yunbin area, or even capture the important city of Jinyang, as long as he takes back Dagu County.
The reason for lowering expectations on the Yunbin battlefield is entirely to be able to exert force on the Qilu situation!
After some painful thinking, Ye Mingsheng decided that even if Yun Bing could not win on the battlefield, he must eat the fat piece of Qi Lu. This was a top priority for his fundamentals. There must be no oversight at all.
Because the war is currently tense, Ye Mingsheng only has Ye Tie's Sixth Division and Ye Dong's Ninth Division left in his hands. Among them, the Sixth Division is dispersedly deployed in Liaoyang and Youyan. It basically belongs to local garrison forces to prevent various places from fighting. Ye Mingsheng will not let the troops who maintain rule in trouble go to the battlefield unless it is a life and death battle.
Therefore, the only thing that can be used now is the Ninth Division, which has just been trained and has more than 15,000 people. This is almost Ye Mingsheng's last trump card and reserve team. Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng feels a little resentful towards Murong Lun. Foreign Affairs Su Yi of the Department has returned from his mission to Jiangnan. Although thanks to his efforts, Jiangnan has made assurances that it will not continue to impose more trade restrictive measures on its side, it has already implemented tests such as increasing tariffs and restricting imports. , will not be cancelled··················
This means that Murong Lun, an old guy, will lose tens of thousands of taels of silver every month if he writes a letter, which indirectly forces him to cancel his plan to train the Tenth Division. If the Tenth Division can be completed now , then the current Fengwu Army's soldiers and horses will not be so stretched.
Now there is only the Ninth Division card left in his hand. Ye Mingsheng does not intend to play this card so soon. He wants to wait for the bullets to fly for a while before deciding where to send the Ninth Division!
If the battlefield in Yunbin is tight, then send the Ninth Division to Yunbin. If the combination of the First Army and the Seventh Division cannot stop Xu Zhaojie from taking Qilu, then Ye Mingsheng will send the Ninth Division wherever it can to ensure that it can be done safely. Win Qilu and keep your base!

"Sister Pei, this is wild ginseng sent from Baitou Mountain in Liaoyang. My mother said that this chicken soup is the best way to replenish qi during confinement!"
Looking at Pei Zhixiu lying on the bed, Murong Qingwu asked Ying'er, the maid next to her, to take out a box of beautifully packaged ginseng and said:
Bae Ji Soo Wen shook her head and said:
"Sister Murong, I appreciate your kindness, but this ginseng is too valuable!"
Murong Qingwu sighed softly and said to herself:
"I should have known a long time ago that my husband loves Sister Pei so much, I'm afraid there is no need for me to do it here many times!"
Pei Zhixiu shook her head and said:
"Sister Murong, are you joking? My husband is very kind to us sisters and has never favored one over another!"
Hearing Pei Zhixiu say "preferring one to the other", Murong Qingwu's face showed an expression that was half a smile, and said to Pei Zhixiu meaningfully:
"Is it true that Sister Pei has never treated one favorably? Why did I hear that someone cried all night a few days ago and almost shed tears?"
Pei Zhixiu's eyes flashed with helplessness. In the past few days, she had also heard what happened in Bai Yuanyuan's yard on the night of the birth. Although she was scolded by Bai Yuanyuan as a vixen, she was not a petty woman who would hate Bai Yuanyuan... ····················
In her eyes, Bai Yuanyuan is just a little woman, and she is not worthy of being angry at all. The only troublesome thing is that Ye Mingsheng's unintentional move has put her at the forefront of the back house. If she wants to live a peaceful and peaceful life in the future, More difficult.
Under Murong Qingwu's half-smiling gaze, Pei Zhixiu could only shake his head and signal Xiaohuan to put the things away, and then said to Murong Qingwu:
"Thank you sister Murong for the gift!"
Seeing Pei Zhixiu accept her gift, Murong Qingwu's smile became even stronger and she said to Pei Zhixiu:
"Sister Pei, you are too polite. My sister will have to learn more from you in the future!"
As soon as Murong Qingwu finished speaking, Pei Zhixiu was about to say something when he heard a burst of footsteps outside the door. Both Murong Qingwu and Pei Zhixiu seemed to have realized something, and their expressions also changed slightly. At the same time, the door of the room was opened, and a graceful and luxurious woman walked into the room.
Looking at Murong Qingwu in the room, An Miaoyi also had a strange look in her eyes, but she still said calmly with a smile:
"Sister Qingwu, you are here too!"
Murong Qingwu nodded obediently and said with a smile:
"Come and give Sister Pei some supplements. Sister An, you smell like golden phoenix. Did you just come from Sister Bai?"
Murong Qingwu's seemingly unintentional words made An Miaoyi's beautiful eyes flash with a cold light. Seeing this, Murong Qingwu smiled slightly, stood up and said:
"Sister An, you must have something to come to see Sister Pei, so I won't bother you here..."
After saying that, Murong Qingwu stood up and said with a smile to Pei Zhixiu on the bed:
"Sister Pei, Qing Wu will come visit another day!"
After saying that, Murong Qingwu bowed to An Miaoyi again, and then left calmly with the maid Xiaohuan.
Pei Zhixiu, who had not spoken since Murong Qingwu left, looked at An Miaoyi who had a calm face. He felt that he should say something at this time, but he didn't know what to say. The atmosphere in the room was a little solemn. At that moment, An Miaoyi sat down and called Qiqige beside her to hand over the supplements to Xiaohuan beside her, and then said to Pei Zhixiu with a smile:
"I don't know what supplements are suitable for you now, so I got some for you. Zhixiu, if you need anything else, send someone to the medical school to get it!"
"Thank you, madam!" Pei Zhixiu said softly:
After explaining this, An Miaoyi told Pei Zhixiu some family troubles, and then left in a hurry, not staying in Pei Zhixiu's room for a long time. When An Miaoyi left, Pei Zhixiu sighed secretly in the room. In one breath, she knew that after giving birth to her son, she would have to face these troubles.
However, when she thought of the promise made by Ye Mingsheng that day, Pei Zhixiu's expression disappeared, and a little warmth appeared on her pretty face.
··································
··································
"Ye Mingsheng's concubine gave birth to a pair of children for him?"
On the city wall of Chengfeng County, listening to Liu Chaohu's report, Xu Zhaojie turned his head and asked with interest:
Liu Chaohu bowed and nodded and said:
"Yes, there is news from Yi Jing that Ye Mingsheng's two concubines have just given birth to a son and a daughter for him in the past few days. The son was named Ye Jingxuan by Ye Mingsheng, and the daughter was named by Ye Mingsheng. Ye Xingtong, Ye Mingsheng is preparing a full moon banquet for his children these days!"
After hearing the news, Xu Zhaojie nodded slightly, and then after a moment of silence, he smiled at Liu Chaohu and asked:
"Chaohu, you said that Ye Mingsheng has such a great thing now. Based on our friendship with him, should I give him a big gift?"
Xu Zhaojie's face was smiling at this time, but Liu Chaohu could feel the killing intent behind the smile, and he immediately echoed:
"Of course! You were so kind to him, Lord Marquis, and promoted him to the position of commander. Unexpectedly, this person betrayed his trust and stabbed the Marquis in the back in the palace. Lord Marquis, you don't remember the faults of villains, and you don't have the same understanding as him." , but this person plotted against me again and again, which is intolerable!"
Hearing Liu Chaohu defend himself so righteously, Xu Zhaojie pointed at him with a smile and then ordered:
"Let Uncle Ben Lei give Ye Mingsheng a big gift for me..."
"yes!"_&
