Looking at the contents on the letter, Xu Zhaojie was silent for more than ten seconds, and then turned to Liu Chaohu beside him and asked:
"Is there any news about Zhao Daqi's thirty thousand people now?·························"
Listening to Xu Zhaojie's question, Liu Chaohu thought quickly and said:
"I'm telling you, sir, Zhao Daqi's 30,000 people came yesterday with news that they were about to enter Anqing. They should have entered Anqing territory now, and they are probably not that far away from Anqing City!"
Hearing what Liu Chaohu said, Xu Zhaojie felt a little relieved. Zhang Meng's command in Qilu would launch an attack on Anqing. This was a certainty and something he had expected. For this reason, he also planned to attack Anqing ten days ago. He ordered his general Zhao Daqi to mobilize 30,000 people from Huainan to Anqing to assist Wang Songhe in resisting the Fengwu army.
However, according to Xu Zhaojie's prediction, Zhang Meng's troops would need a certain amount of time to complete the reorganization of the original Qi army, and then they could launch an attack on Anqing. This process would take at least ten days and a half, enough time for Zhao Daqi to lead the army. Troops and horses are coming from Huainan to support us!
However, Zhang Meng told Xu Zhaojie through his actions that he had underestimated the Fengwu Army's penetration and reorganization speed of the Qi Army, which could be said to have caught Xu Zhaojie off guard.
However, I believe that with Zhao Daqi's 30,000 soldiers and horses, Wang Songhe should be able to defend Anqing without any accident!
Xu Zhaojie calmed down and turned his attention to the sand table again, his expression full of caution. According to the intelligence, he has currently assembled the main force of the enemy's first army, which is about 30,000 people. According to the intelligence, the Fengwu Army Mobilization is underway in the rear areas of Hebei and Henan. In the next month, the Fengwu Army may have an additional 10,000 to 20,000 new troops...
In addition, the Ninth Division is still stationed in Yijing. Xu Zhaojie is arranging intelligence personnel to pay close attention to the movements of this unit. This unit is regarded as Ye Mingsheng's last reserve team. As far as the current situation is concerned, Xu Zhaojie guesses that Ye Mingsheng may He wanted to send the Ninth Division to Jiyu, but he was worried that the Fengwu Army would not be able to survive on the battlefield, so he did not make a move easily.
After all, if the Fengwu Army really cannot hold out on the Yunbin battlefield, the Ninth Division, with a full strength of 18,000 troops, will become the reassurance for the Fengwu Army to stabilize the Yunbin battlefield. If Ji Yu is easily sent , once the Yunbin battlefield cannot hold up, Ye Mingsheng will have no troops to mobilize, and the Fengwu Army will easily be at risk of collapse across the board.
Thinking of the Yunbin battlefield, Xu Zhaojie couldn't help but frown. Although others were in Jiyu at this time, they were also paying attention to the Yunbin battlefield. According to the news he got, the Luo'an Forbidden Army under Shangguan Hongyuan was on the offensive in Yunbin. It was so fierce that Shangguan Hongyuan himself was stationed in Jinyang, and the 170,000-strong army attacked in three directions and was able to swallow up Jinzhong in one fell swoop.
However, the offensive is fierce, but the effect is not very good. So far, the 170,000-strong army has not even seen the city gate of Jinzhong. It is still struggling with several small counties outside Jinzhong City. At this rate, Let’s not talk about whether Shangguan Hongyuan can win Jinzhong. Taking a step back, if Shangguan Hongyuan can win Jinzhong, how much time will it take for him?
Xu Zhaojie also knew a little bit about the financial situation of the Luo'an court. He felt that the financial situation of the Luo'an court was simply not enough to support Shangguan Hongyuan's 200,000 troops to fight for three months... ·············
In Xu Zhaojie's plan, with him restraining some of Ye Mingsheng's troops, Shangguan Hongyuan should have made rapid progress on the Yunbin battlefield. Although he would not capture Jinzhong City immediately, he should also wipe out the surrounding counties. It is only right to encircle Jinzhong.
As a result, Shangguan Hongyuan put strong pressure on Ye Mingsheng on the Yunbin battlefield. Although Ye Mingsheng was unwilling to do so, he could only devote his troops to Yunbin. After all, once the Luo'an Forbidden Army captured Jinzhong, the Luo'an Forbidden Army could A direct threat to Yi Jing, the core of power of the Fengwu military regime, and Ji Yu is obviously not as important as Yi Jing, so he, Xu, can eat away at Ji Yu step by step
However, the current progress of the Luo'an Forbidden Army on the Yunbin battlefield is really disappointing. It cannot give the Fengwu Army the strong pressure expected. If it develops like this, Xu Zhaojie guesses that the Fengwu Army's Ninth Division will soon attack Hebei Province. If Yu pounces, the pressure he will face will be even greater.
How long can the defense lines deployed in Shenzhou and Shangzhou be defended against the powerful artillery fire and superior troops of the Fengwu Army?
Ten days?
Half a month?
Or a month?
Even if Xu Zhaojie was very confident in himself, he couldn't believe that he could hold on for more than a month. After all, he had seen the combat effectiveness of the Fengwu Army. He had seen the Fengwu Army destroy dozens of cannons even if they didn't agree with each other, even if the shells were worn out. Crazy bombing··················
The only thing Xu Zhaojie can hope for now is that Shangguan Hongyuan can make breakthrough progress in Yunbin within this month, put more pressure on the Fengwu Army, and force Ye Mingsheng to mobilize troops back to Yunbin. .
Otherwise, even if the city is not lost in a month, he will have to return to Anqing. Otherwise, if he continues to stay in Hebei, he will risk the entire army being annihilated!
After seeing the difficulties of the Luo'an Forbidden Army on the Yunbin battlefield, Xu Zhaojie no longer had much hope that they would capture Jinzhong within a month. Xu Zhaojie now only hopes that Shangguan Hongyuan can wipe out the surrounding counties of Jinzhong within a month. Being able to surround Jinzhong City, there is still hope of winning this war.
Otherwise, if he is forced to retreat in Hebei Province a month later, Ye Mingsheng will be able to use all his strength to deal with Shangguan Hongyuan. Moreover, by that time, Shangguan Hongyuan's internal financial and supply problems will become more and more serious and cannot be solved. Fortunately, Shangguan Hongyuan didn't get Jinzhong, but his own Jinyang was able to get it.
If Ye Mingsheng had not been defeated in this battle, Ye Mingsheng could really say that the situation was settled, and he and Shangguan Hongyuan would have to be beaten passively!
Thinking of this, Xu Zhaojie couldn't help but sigh silently, and silently prayed to God in his heart not to let Ye Mingsheng continue to have good luck!
································
································
While Xu Zhaojie was feeling angry, Ye Mingsheng in the Governor's Mansion of Yi Jing also looked serious when looking at the battle report from the front line.
Although I knew before that the Yunbin battlefield was very hard to fight under the fierce attack of the Luo'an Forbidden Army, and the casualties were also very high, but after all, there was no specific number of casualties, so Ye Mingsheng did not have a very precise idea of the casualties on the Yunbin battlefield. However, just an hour ago, the battle report written by He Jingyun himself was delivered to Ye Mingsheng from Jinzhong.
Because the war is not over yet, there are new casualties every day, and there is no way to conduct accurate casualty statistics. Therefore, the battle report sent by He Jingyun is only an estimate, but even so, the casualties of nearly 20,000 people can't help but make Ye Mingsheng feel sad. First of all, you must know that the Fengwu Army in Yunhe only has two armies and four divisions with a total of 100,000 people. This battle has only been fought for a month, and the casualties are nearly 20%.
Although he understood that the Fengwu Army had paid so many casualties and that the Luoan Forbidden Army's casualties would be even greater, at least two to three times that of the Fengwu Army, Ye Mingsheng still couldn't accept it. In addition, according to He Jingyun's report, it seemed that Shangguan Hongyuan Targeting the two counties on the southern line of Shanxi as a breakthrough point, he gave Tang Peng, who was in charge of the offensive on the southern line of Shanxi, a fatal order, requiring Tang Peng to make progress on the southern front before the 17th, otherwise Tang Peng would have to take the lead. Come and meet.
Therefore, under Shangguan Hongyuan's "death threat", Tang Peng also launched a fierce attack on the two counties on the southern line day and night regardless of casualties. Although the Pinrong County and Wankang County on the southern line of central Shanxi are still It is under the control of the Fengwu Army, but now He Jingyun cannot send more reinforcements to rush to help somewhere, so He Jingyun also predicts that the southern front will be broken through by Tang Peng's troops in the near future... ···············
In this regard, He Jingyun also expressed to Ye Mingsheng that even if the southern front was broken through by Tang Peng's troops, the soldiers of the Second Army and the Third Army fighting on the Yunbin battlefield would still have high morale and could ensure that Jinzhong City would still be impregnable.
Ye Mingsheng is also somewhat comforted by this. Regarding today's battle report, he has been prepared since the day he decided to change his strategy and fuck Xu Zhaojie first!
In fact, so far, the Fengwu Army has been able to ensure that none of the four surrounding counties have been lost. Ye Mingsheng already feels that the soldiers on the battlefield of He Jingyun and Yun Bing have performed very well.
Now that the war has passed for a month, according to the investigation of the Coordination Office, although the Luoan court can still maintain the logistical supplies of the 200,000 troops on the front line, compared with the beginning of the war, both the speed and frequency of supplies have slowed down. There has been a huge decline. At the beginning of the war, food, medicine, and gunpowder that might have been delivered in three or four days now might take seven, ten, or even half a month.
Because of this incident, the soldiers on the front line who were originally only slightly injured were delayed into serious injuries, and the soldiers who could have survived lost their lives. They could have continued to launch the offensive while the iron was hot, but they were forced to suspend the offensive because they did not get ammunition.
Therefore, the Forbidden Army soldiers on the front line have begun to complain. This undoubtedly proves that the staff's previous judgment that the Luo'an Forbidden Army can only maintain a high-intensity offensive for two months is correct. After two months, the Luo'an Forbidden Army will It fell into an offensive bottleneck and was no longer able to launch a large-scale attack in a short period of time.
And now that the war has passed for a month, there is not much time left for Shangguan Hongyuan and the Luoan Forbidden Army... ····
While Ye Mingsheng continued to think, Ye Cheng knocked on the door and walked in and said:
"Sir, Master Gu is here!"
Ye Mingsheng nodded when he heard this and said:
'Then let him come in! '
"yes!"
After the words fell, Ye Cheng did not act immediately and invited Gu Sansi into Ye Mingsheng's study. Instead, he stood there and looked at Ye Mingsheng with some hesitation. Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised and immediately looked at him, feeling Looking at Ye Mingsheng, Ye Cheng immediately braved his courage and whispered:
"Sir, Mrs. Wang Jiang has come to Yijing again. She went to Changshan Medical Center to see Mrs. Pei a few days ago, but it is said that Mrs. Pei ignored her, so she is now seeking to see the eldest lady!"
Ye Mingsheng was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, and then recalled the noble wife and stunner in Zhang Zhiwen's letter.
Although Ye Mingsheng has not met anyone yet, to be honest, Ye Mingsheng is quite interested in Wang Jiang, the little emperor's aunt. After all, having the identity of the emperor's aunt can always arouse people's desire for curiosity.
However, because of the stalemate in the war during this period, Ye Mingsheng did not have the time or energy to care about this matter, so he put it behind him for the time being.
But I didn't expect that Mrs. Wang Jiang would come to my door so quickly...
"Is it still because of the ticket number and license plate?" Ye Mingsheng pondered for a while and asked:
Ye Cheng nodded and replied:
"Yes, Mrs. Wang Jiang is very concerned about this matter!"
Ye Mingsheng thought for two seconds and then did not continue to say anything. Instead, he ordered Ye Cheng:
"Bring Sansi in!"
Hearing this, Ye Cheng also understood that Ye Mingsheng was thinking about it, so he followed Ye Mingsheng's instructions and immediately invited Gu Sansi into the study.
After entering the study and meeting Ye Mingsheng, Gu San thought nothing nonsense and directly reported the results of his recent work to Ye Mingsheng.
"Let me tell you, sir, 700,000 taels of Dadongsheng's one million bonds have been successfully subscribed. The remaining 300,000 taels are also in active progress. If nothing unexpected happens, all the bonds will be sold by the end of the month. Go, all the money will be received before the end of next month..."
"As for the ticket number license, both the Yun family and the Liu family are very sincere. They both put up a deposit of 100,000 taels of silver in accordance with the rules. In addition, in the sale of Dadongsheng bonds, the Yun family even sold The two shops pooled together 200,000 taels of silver and purchased 200,000 taels of Dadongsheng bonds! The Liu family also purchased 150,000 taels!"
Hearing the news, Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly. These two families were so generous, and it was not in vain that he talked to Cui Shao and Gu Zhongshi a few days ago. Since they had expressed their sincerity, he couldn't be stingy, so he immediately gave instructions: :
"The licenses of these two companies will be issued, but the Chief Secretary must also strengthen supervision. During this time, you and the Chief Secretary will jointly discuss drafting a code of conduct for the ticket industry and bring it to me!"
"Yes!" Gu Sansi nodded.
After pondering for a while, Ye Mingsheng continued to ask:
"The ticket number for Liaoyang is now available, and the ticket number for Youyan is also available, so how many bonds have been purchased by those who applied for the Hebeiyu ticket number... ········”
