Jinzhong, Fengwu Army Camp
Looking at the sand table in front of him and the more than ten generals in the hall, He Jingyun felt infinite emotion in his heart. Although he participated in all the war plans when the Fengwu Army launched its troops, due to Ye Mingsheng's will, he had never been able to truly join the army before that. Battlefield command operations·······················
But now facing the menacing Shangguan Hongyuan, Ye Mingsheng was finally willing to send him, the chief of staff of the Fengwu Army, to meet the enemy!
After calming down his emotions, He Jingyun asked the general below with a serious expression:
"Where are the three enemy troops now? What is the situation between us and the enemy?"
Facing He Jingyun's inquiry, Cui Desheng, who was responsible for collecting intelligence, stood up and said:
"Inform Chief of Staff He that the enemy Ma Chongyang's troops on the northern front have already attacked Lingyuan County and Hepingyun County. He wanted to defeat them one by one, so he concentrated them. More than 40,000 main troops launched a fierce attack on Lingyuan County, leaving only Ten thousand soldiers and horses guard Pingyun County!"
"In response to his offensive, General Xunke, who was responsible for guarding the northern front, was using heavy artillery to fight the enemy in Lingyuan County. On the other hand, he was ordering the defenders in Pingyun County to wait for opportunities to harass the enemy and destroy the enemy's logistics. Supplies, in general, the northern front is in a stalemate."
"Compared to Ma Chongyang on the northern line, the Tang Peng operation on the southern line is a bit fuller. Currently, only 30,000 troops have arrived in Pingrong County. The remaining 40,000 troops are expected to be in place in three days. Judging from Tang Peng's current actions, he is not in a hurry to attack the city. He seems to just want to ensure that our army's defenders in Pingrong County and Wankang County will not support the middle road... ············”
"The headquarters of General Peng Ce's Sixth Division, which is currently responsible for guarding the southern front, has enough food and grass to prepare for the battle. The supplies can last at least two months!"
Listening to Cui Desheng's introduction, He Jingyun nodded slightly. Although the current situation on the north and south lines is slightly different from that before the station, it is generally within expectations. Now it depends on how the situation in the middle line develops. He Jingyun thought of this He turned his attention to the sand table and asked in a deep voice:
"Tell me about the current situation at Wang Muzhi's side!"
"yes!"
"After the Liang army led by Wang Muzhi set out from Dagu County, the speed of the lightly armed troops was still very fast. At present, his vanguard has crossed the Sanchuan River, and has already fought with General Guo's cavalry on the east bank of the Sanchuan River. , although our army defeated the enemy’s cavalry and killed more than a thousand of them!”
"However, the Liang Army commanded by Wang Muzhi has basically established a foothold on the east bank of the Sanchuan River by virtue of its superiority in strength. It is expected that the main force of the Liang Army will soon cross the Sanchuan River!"
He Jingyun's expression suddenly became very serious when he heard the news. After pondering for a few seconds, he asked Cui Desheng:
"How many people in the Third Division do Commander Guo have under his command?"
Faced with this problem, Cui Desheng said without hesitation:
"Except for the cavalry battalion sent to harass the enemy's food road, it is currently estimated that Commander Guo still has more than 25,000 troops under his command... ·····"..
Upon hearing this information, He Jingyun immediately ordered Lin Huaiwu, who was sitting first on his left in the hall:
"Commander Lin, I want to transfer two battalions from your second division and hand them over to Commander Guo!"
Lin Huaiwu frowned slightly. According to He Jingyun's deployment and coordination, his Second Army was responsible for the protection of the northern line and Jinzhong City, and Guo Zhiping's Third Division was responsible for the defense of the middle and southern lines. Now that the war has just begun, from his own Two battalions were assigned to Guo Zhiping. Of course, he was skeptical about He Jingyun's decision!
The Jinzhong garrison currently only has more than 30,000 soldiers and horses from its second division. Deploying two battalions is almost 10,000 soldiers. The remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses are somewhat difficult to defend a big city like Jinzhong. , and his second division is the reserve team at Yunbin battlefield. It is not a good sign to mobilize the reserve team right after the battle!
Thinking of this, Lin Huaiwu was about to say something when he saw the saber on He Jingyun's waist!
This saber has a simple style and is made of fine steel. Although it looks very good, it is just a sword that was equipped by the Imperial Guards of the Great Zhou Dynasty to the commander-level generals for commanding battles. Because it was made in batches, the Imperial Guards originally Many commanders in the army are equipped with this sword. It is not a rare and unique sword...
However, Lin Huaiwu, who had followed Ye Mingsheng since the Forbidden Army period, could tell the difference of this knife at a glance. If he thought correctly, the handle of this knife was engraved with his master's name - Ye Mingsheng!
This sword was the sword that Ye Mingsheng used when he was in the Forbidden Army. Under the command of this sword, more than a thousand of the Forbidden Army invaded Liujing in one fell swoop and achieved today's glory and wealth!
Over the years, the First General Administration of Manufacturing has cast many new swords for Ye Mingsheng, but Ye Mingsheng still only carries this sword. According to Ye Mingsheng himself, he wants to use this sword to warn him of his past sufferings. It’s difficult, don’t get lost in today’s power and desires.
It was such a knife with extraordinary significance, but now Ye Mingsheng asked He Jingyun to bring it over, and the meaning was self-evident!
Thinking of this, Lin Huaiwu couldn't help but change his attention, nodded to He Jingyun and said:
"By my humble command, this matter will be arranged after the meeting!"
Listening to Lin Huaiwu's answer, He Jingyun nodded slightly, and then ordered Cui Desheng on the side:
"The soldiers and horses of the two battalions of the Second Army will set off tonight and must reach the east bank of the Sanchuan River within two days. Tell you, Commander Guo, to fight Wang Muzhi back to the west bank of the Sanchuan River. This battle will It’s just the beginning, we must not let their conspiracy succeed!”
Feeling the determination in He Jingyun's words, Cui Desheng also nodded with a serious expression:
"I humble my duty and obey orders·····················"
After explaining the combat mission, He Jingyun ended the combat meeting. After everyone left the camp, He Jingyun picked up the saber at his waist and observed with a complicated expression.
This time Ye Mingsheng transferred him, the chief of general staff of the Fengwu Army, to the Yunbin battlefield. The most important purpose was not to use his commanding talents to command operations, but to solve the command problem on the Yunbin battlefield.
After all, there are two commanders of the Fengwu Army, Lin Huaiwu and Guo Zhiping, on the Yunbin battlefield. Although the two usually have no quarrel, now the war is imminent. Whether it is Lin Huaiwu commanding or Guo Zhiping commanding, the other one is also You will definitely be dissatisfied!
Among them, Lin Huaiwu, in particular, claimed to be the first general to follow Ye Mingsheng, and he and Ye Mingsheng were both from the Forbidden Army. He always regarded himself as Ye Mingsheng's confidant in the Fengwu Army, and even the generals at the same level rarely gave him face, and Although Guo Zhiping appears to be a Confucian general, he is a bandit who has a heroic spirit in his heart.
If he is paired with Lin Huaiwu, there will definitely be friction between the two of them. When the time comes, poor command and internal strife will lead to the Fengwu Army not being able to exert its combat effectiveness 100%.
The best way to solve this problem is to send someone recognized by both parties to accept the command. In the plan, Ye Mingsheng was originally to personally take charge of the Yunbin battlefield, but now the plan has changed and Ye Mingsheng cannot come. , then in He Jingyun's eyes, the Fengwu Army was able to suppress Guo Zhiping and Lin Huaiwu, only two people were left...
One of these two people is Yuan Song, who is known as the first general of the Fengwu Army, and the other is the chief of general staff of the Fengwu Army all year round, and is recognized as the second-in-command in the Fengwu Army after Ye Mingsheng. That is He Jingyun himself!
And now that Yuan Song is stationed in the Jiyu battlefield, the only one left in the Fengwu army who can complete the mission is He Jingyun!
It was precisely with this confidence that when He Jingyun faced Ye Mingsheng's task of sitting in Yunbin, he just accepted the task with a slight shirk. However, when he set off from Yijing, Ye Mingsheng saw him off. But he personally handed this sword to him!
Of course He Jingyun understood Ye Mingsheng's intention, but he was still a little hesitant about accepting this sword. After all, in his opinion, with his status in the Fengwu Army, even without the blessing of Ye Mingsheng's sword, he could fully Can suppress Lin Huaiwu and Guo Zhiping!
However, now it seems that He He is a little self-righteous!
When he gave the order just now, he could clearly feel that Lin Huaiwu was hesitant and even wanted to refute his order. Finally, he looked at Ye Mingsheng's saber on his waist and finally agreed to his order. !
He Jingyun was naturally very angry at Lin Huaiwu's reaction. He had long heard that Lin Huaiwu was very arrogant and would not listen to anyone except Ye Mingsheng. However, he never expected that Lin Huaiwu would not even give orders to him, the Chief of General Staff. You dare not listen, are you really a group of arrogant soldiers?
While He Jingyun was indignant, he also felt a little lucky in his heart...
Fortunately, when he left, he did not refuse Ye Mingsheng to carry the sword. Otherwise, if Lin Huaiwu openly refuted his order at the battle meeting just now, he would have no good solution. Even if he wrote a letter to Ye Mingsheng and read Lin Huaiwu's book, it would be time-consuming. It’s completely too late!
This incident also made He Jingyun clearly aware that his prestige and influence in the Fengwu Army were far from as high as he thought. Everyone relied on Ye Mingsheng for the smooth implementation of the battle plan he formulated before. He Jingyun, who was very hurt when he thought of the authority and support for him, could only shake his head helplessly, and then looked at the sand table.
The financial situation of the Luo'an court is not good, and it is eager for a quick victory. This is a consensus of the Fengwu Army Staff Headquarters. Based on this judgment, one can draw a conclusion, that is, Shangguan Hongyuan, who does not want to fight a fierce battle with the Fengwu Army, must He wanted to crush the Fengwu Army with thunderous power at the very beginning of the war.
The art of war is full of enthusiasm, and then it declines, and then it is exhausted. This means that as long as the first wave of the Luo'an Forbidden Army's offensive is withstood, it is also the most violent wave, and the subsequent Luo'an Forbidden Army's offensive will be It will automatically decay, which is why He Jingyun did not hesitate to use the reserve team and asked Guo Zhiping to repel Wang Muzhi!

Governor's Mansion, in the side room of the study
Ye Mingsheng, who was relaxing during his lunch break, rested his head on Jinyu's round and slender jade legs, enjoying Jinyu's careful massage while looking at the latest information sent by the coordination office in the morning!
It has to be said that Huo San responded very quickly to Ye Mingsheng's order. In just three days, they completed the report that Ye Mingsheng wanted, and Huo San personally sent it to the Governor's Mansion.
There is a lot of content in the report, such as the situation on the Yunbin battlefield and the Qilu battlefield. However, since there is no more progress on these two battlefields, Ye Mingsheng is also more concerned about the content of the report about the Wang Jiang family. .
That day, from Zhang Zhiwen's official document and Ye Cheng's narration, Ye Mingsheng had a hunch that Mrs. Wang Jiang was not an ordinary little widow. However, now that he had received a more detailed report about her from the unified management office, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but marvel and sighed. Mrs. Wang Jiang is really a rare and strange woman.
Although Ye Mingsheng had learned from Ye Cheng before that the young widow of the Wang Jiang family was a descendant of the clan and had the blood of the royal family Jiang family, Ye Mingsheng did not pay too much attention to it. The people of the Time Clan have reproduced for who knows how many generations.
I don’t know how many former relatives of the emperor and nobles of Tianhuang have been reduced to the common people. Nowadays, anyone with the surname Jiang in Dazhou, even if they are farming, selling straw sandals, or butchering pigs, dare to claim that they are the descendants of the clan... ····················
Based on this understanding, Ye Mingsheng initially thought that the Wang Jiang clan was just a brand, and in fact it had nothing to do with the clan.
However, this investigation report from the Coordination Office made Ye Mingsheng realize that he was wrong. The little widow Wang Jiang was really the queen of the eight-legged clan.
According to the investigation by the Coordination Office, Wang Jiang's maiden name is Jiang Yuyan, the daughter of the wife Liu of King Qi of the Great Zhou clan. King Qi is the uncle and grandfather of Jiang Rui, the current emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the younger emperor. This is also based on the clan lineage. However, the little emperor Jiang Rui wants to call Mrs. Wang Jiang aunt!
Just when Ye Mingsheng looked a little excited, he felt it the next second. There was a resentful gaze looking at him quietly. Ye Mingsheng subconsciously followed the gaze and looked over, only to see Jinyu's small face. Full of sorrow, Jinyu looked into Ye Mingsheng's eyes, and couldn't help the sourness in her heart, and said sourly to Ye Mingsheng:
"What's so good about these old women? Why are you so interested in them, sir?"
