"Wang Xuecheng, don't you want to know what we want to do?"
"It's easy to say! As long as you kneel down and beg grandpa, grandpa will tell you..."
"Hahaha!"
Looking at Xu Dake, who was laughing arrogantly without fear of death, Wang Xuecheng was not angry at all. Instead, he patted Xu Dake's blood-stained face with his hand and said with a smile:
"Xu Dake, what you said is really right. I am really just a dog raised by the commander. I will bite whoever the commander asks me to bite!"
After speaking, Wang Xuecheng didn't say anything more to Xu Dake. He just waved behind him, and a pair of trembling mother and son were brought up by the soldiers.
When the mother and son saw the bloody Xu Dake on the wooden stake, surprise and grief suddenly appeared in their eyes and they couldn't help shouting:
"Ms. sir!"
"father"
While talking, the mother and son wanted to run towards Xu Dake, but as soon as they made any move, they were stopped by the soldiers. At this time, when Xu Dake saw the appearance of the mother and son, he was stunned for a moment. , and then he was so angry that he cursed loudly at Wang Xuecheng:
"Wang Xuecheng, I'm going to kill you. I want your skin to be peeled off, your bones to be bruised and your bones to be ashes!"
Listening to Xu Dake's curse, Wang Xuecheng still said calmly:
"I said, brother, your Lord Marquis sent you here to collect information, not to live in style. Fortunately, you found a mistress here and gave birth to a child. You said you are worthy of it. Are you the Marquis?"
After saying that, Wang Xuecheng smiled and waved his hand, and two sharp knives were immediately thrust out from the abdomens of Xu Dake's wife and children. Looking at his wife and children who died in front of him, Xu Dake's eyes suddenly became blood red, and he cursed at Wang Xuecheng like a ghost. .
"Wang Xuecheng, I won't bother you even if I'm a ghost..."
Wang Xuecheng smiled and said:
"I said, brother, what are you pretending to be? You don't care about mother and child at all. You clearly had the chance to save them, but you chose to be indifferent and even wanted to anger me. Didn't they die in my hands? But he died in your hands!"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Dake was speechless. Just when he was about to curse again to cover up, a peace charm appeared in Wang Xuecheng's hand.
"Brother Dake, do you still recognize this thing?"
Seeing clearly the object in Wang Xuecheng's hand, Xu Dake was suddenly shocked. However, with the experience and lesson just now, he did not curse at this time, but tightly closed his mouth. Seeing this, Wang Xuecheng spoke again:
"Huainan, Kangyin, Liude County, Maqiao Town, Xuwang Township!"
Listening to Wang Xuecheng saying this series of place names, Xu Dake no longer had any luck in his heart, and he closed his eyes in pain.
Upon seeing this, Wang Xuecheng said calmly:
"With the help of our Coordination Office, you have managed to survive until now. Xu Dake, you are worthy of your Lord. Now it is your Lord who has failed to take good care of your family and feels sorry for you!"
"Now the life and death of your parents, wife, children, brothers and sisters all depend on your thoughts. You have to think about what to do..."
Xu Dakewen glared at Wang Xuecheng angrily, but Wang Xuecheng was no longer interested in talking to him, and immediately ordered to Guo Qian beside him:
"I'll leave this to you!"
After saying that, Wang Xuecheng turned around and left without looking back. Although he didn't know how many people he had killed, he was still not used to the smell of blood in this prison.
After burning the incense, Wang Xuecheng, who was sitting in the side room drinking tea, got Xu Dake's confession from Guo Qian. Looking at the confession above, Wang Xuecheng couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and felt a little fear in his heart. Fortunately, he was able to pry now. He opened Xu Dake's mouth and found out about the actions of these bastards. Otherwise, if he really let these people complete their actions, the commander would definitely kill him and Huo San! .c0m
Thinking of this, Wang Xuecheng planned to deploy as soon as possible to eliminate this group of rats that sneaked into Yi Jing. Before leaving, he told Guo Qian:
"Take a good look at Xu Dake and hire a good doctor to treat his injuries. He has a high status in the Zhennan Army and there is still a lot of information about him that can be squeezed out!"
Facing Wang Xuecheng's instructions, Guo Qianxian hesitated a little. Seeing this, Wang Xuecheng seemed to realize something and asked immediately:
"Xu Dake, is he dead?"
Seeing that Wang Xuecheng discovered it, Guo Qian nodded awkwardly and said:
"After hearing what he said, we were all very happy, so we relaxed our guard for a moment, and Xu Dake took this opportunity to bite his tongue and commit suicide!"
After hearing Guo Qian's words, Wang Xuecheng's eyes flashed with cold light, and he slapped him hard.
"Useless things!"

Yi Jing, Fengwu Army Staff Headquarters
In the conference room, Ye Mingsheng stood beside the sand table, listening to Deputy Chief of Staff Zhao Han's introduction to the situation in Yunbin:
"Report to the commander-in-chief, according to the intelligence gathered from the front line, the enemy's 170,000 troops are attacking Jinzhong in three routes. Among them, the southern and northern fronts are still containing our army. The enemy's main attack direction is Wang Muzhi in the middle. The Liang army led by him is the main force, and the enemy’s strategy seems to be a bit forward-looking and hesitant now!”
"On the one hand, the enemy wanted to take down our army in one go like thunder sweeping away fallen leaves, but they were also wary of the heavy artillery deployed by our army in the four surrounding counties. They were afraid that they would suffer too many casualties if they forced an attack on the city, so they thought of using Liang's army to cut us off. We will establish the connection between the army in Jinzhong and the four surrounding counties, and then proceed to siege the city and slowly map it out!"
"At the beginning of the war, Wang Muzhi led 50,000 Liang troops and advanced all the way from Dagu County. They reached the west bank of the Sanchuan River in more than two days. They even used their strength to forcefully send some of their troops to the east of the Sanchuan River. However, Chief of Staff He quickly realized their intention and transferred two battalions of troops from the Second Army to supplement Commander Guo!"
"When Commander Guo received reinforcements, he quickly annihilated the Liang army that had crossed the Sanchuan River. According to the battle report, he killed 2,000 enemy soldiers and captured another 2,000 enemy soldiers.
Thousands of enemy troops were drowned by the Sanchuan River when they retreated. After this battle, Wang Muzhi still refused to give up and even attempted to cross the river at night, but was blocked by Commander Guo. Currently, our army and the enemy are moving along the Sanchuan River. In a confrontational situation·····················"
After listening to Zhao Han's introduction, Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly and said:
"Does the staff have any judgment on the next direction of the situation in Yunbin?"
Faced with Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Zhao Han organized some words and said:
"Report to the General Staff that the enemy's current strategy of advancing through the middle to divide and encircle has been officially declared a failure as Wang Muzhi's troops are unable to cross the Sanchuan River!"
"At the same time, our army's Feihu Camp and the Coordination Office jointly operated and burned three enemy granaries in Jinyang and Guanzhong areas, and assassinated nineteen Luo'an court officials. These people were all Shangguan Hongyuan's The henchmen are mainly responsible for the supply of the Forbidden Army. Even if Shangguan Hongyuan can find someone to replace them immediately after their death, it will inevitably have an adverse impact on the enemy's logistical supply!"
"According to the secret response from our Coordination Office in Luo'an, Shangguan Hongyuan was furious with our army's actions behind enemy lines. On the one hand, he requested to strengthen the guarding of grain roads and granaries, and on the other hand, he also requested the Supervision Department to eliminate our army's operations behind enemy lines as soon as possible. Operations behind enemy lines.”
"Based on this point, the staff judged that under the pressure of logistical supplies, the enemy is likely to be forced to abandon its current diversionary attack on the outlying counties and switch to a forceful attack. In this case, our army will be deployed in four outlying areas. The county guards will be under great pressure!"
"What our army can do in response to the enemy's strong attack is to remain unchanged and adapt to all changes. The cavalry unit of the Third Army ensures the communication and material transportation between central Shanxi and the four surrounding counties. The Feihu Camp and the Coordination Office strengthen the control of enemy forces behind the enemy's rear. Harassment and destruction······················
"According to the estimates of the staff, the enemy's strong attack will last for at least a month. At least two of the four outlying counties will be lost. It is very possible that all four will be lost. The two divisions deployed in the four counties have 50,000 troops. , will lose more than 40%!”
At the end, Zhao Han's voice became more and more serious and deep. Behind these cold numbers are living lives and families!
Ye Mingsheng just nodded slightly when he heard this. He had already been mentally prepared for the casualties in this battle. The sacrifices of the soldiers were all for a better tomorrow. In order to create an unprecedented prosperous age, their sacrifices were all worth it!
Just when Ye Mingsheng was about to make a summary of the staff's predictions, the door of the conference room was suddenly opened and confidential staff officer Cao Huan came in and reported to Ye Mingsheng in a heavy voice:
"Messages to the Commander-in-Chief's First Army and Seventh Division have been sent!"
After saying that, he handed the battle report to Ye Mingsheng with both hands.
Ye Mingsheng's eyes lit up when he heard the news, and he ordered without much hesitation:
"read!"
Cao Huan did not immediately execute Ye Mingsheng's order, but showed some hesitation, as if he wanted to tell Ye Mingsheng something, but was very worried in front of everyone.
Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng also had some bad premonitions. At this time, Ye Cheng, who was standing aside, also had the foresight to take the battle report from Cao Huan and handed it to Ye Mingsheng... ··········
Ye Mingsheng picked up the battle report and started reading it. After only reading a short section, he couldn't help but feel nervous. However, the deep city still made him calmly continue reading the battle report. He read the battle report carefully twice, and still felt Ye Mingsheng, who kept his expression calm, handed the battle report to Zhao Han, who was a little curious.
Zhao Han obviously did not have as good a Qi-nurturing skills as Ye Mingsheng. After reading the battle report, his expression suddenly changed, and Ye Mingsheng said calmly:
"I'll give you one day, and the staff will come up with a countermeasure. Come to my study and report back tomorrow morning!"
"yes!"
After receiving a positive answer, Ye Mingsheng immediately walked out of the staff headquarters and got on the carriage back home under tight protection.
Ye Mingsheng, who was sitting on the carriage with his eyes closed and concentrating, thought about the content of the battle report he had just seen. There was good news and bad news!
The bad news is that five days ago in Chengfeng County, Anqing, Yuan Song's troops were ambushed by Xu Zhaojie while they were attacking the city. The ambush not only injured Yuan Song himself, but also caused the first division he led to suffer 3,000 casualties. Many people were injured, including Bai Changrong, the commanding officer in charge of the rear end, who was seriously injured, and the commander Gao Chenghao died in the battle.
After defeating the First Division led by Yuan Song, Xu Zhaojie originally wanted to return to the division and annihilate the First Army cavalry unit that went deep into the hinterland of Anqing. However, the cavalry commander Xia Yunsheng was also very alert and immediately withdrew to Fengqiu when he saw that things were not going well. ·······················
There is no doubt that according to the battle report, the Fengwu Army suffered a defeat on the front facing Xu Zhaojie. The loss of troops and generals can even be said to be the most serious defeat that the Fengwu Army has suffered since its establishment.
Although due to time constraints, Xu Zhaojie may have still been in Anqing when he wrote this battle report, but if Ye Mingsheng's judgment is correct, Xu Zhaojie may have already entered Hebei and Henan, killing officials supported by Fengwu Army and those who supported Fengwu Military squire.
Ye Mingsheng knew about Yuan Song's proactive tactics in the confrontation with Xu Zhaojie. Because of his trust in Yuan Song and his inability to understand the frontline battle situation in time, Ye Mingsheng allowed Yuan Song to act cheaply. Although Yuan Song lost this time, Ye Mingsheng Ming Sheng didn't blame him too much.
After all, with Xu Zhaojie's ability, even if you replace Yuan Song with Guo Zhiping and Lin Huaiwu, it is impossible to win. Judging from the battle report, Xu Zhaojie first pretended to mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress Yuan Song. He sent cavalry deep into the hinterland of Anqing to stir up Yuan. Song was led out from Fengqiu!
As the recognized number one general of the Fengwu Army, Yuan Song would not simply trust Xu Zhaojie's movements. He had also been sending a large number of scouts to investigate the movements of Xu Zhaojie's main force, and confirmed that Xu Zhaojie had indeed led the main force to exterminate that force. During the cavalry, Yuan Songcai led his troops out of Fengqiu to prepare for a blitzkrieg into Chengfeng County.
And Xu Zhaojie is also a ruthless person. After learning that Yuan Song led his troops out, he was about to return to Anqing City with his troops. He just led his troops to march lightly for a day and night, and led his troops back to Chengfeng County to ambush. Here One thing to note is that because the scouts sent by Yuan Song searched within ten miles, Xu Zhaojie could only ambush fifteen miles away in order to avoid being discovered by the scouts.
And this directly led to the fact that when Yuan Song led his troops to attack Chengfeng County, Xu Zhaojie, who originally wanted to annihilate Yuan Song's troops in one fell swoop with an ambush, could only launch an attack from fifteen miles away, which gave Yuan In the time it took Song to react, he only suffered more than 3,000 casualties and then retreated calmly...
(Dear readers, I have been thinking about this chapter for a long time. The main reason is that I feel that the protagonist has developed too smoothly and has basically never encountered failure, so I want to write a failure to temper it, but please remember one thing - If you want to advance, suppress it first!)_&
