Since the prefect of Yecheng is a good position for the current Cui Zibo, why did Cui Shao, as a father, sigh?
The reason for this is that Cui Shao knew that with Ye Mingsheng's character, he would not give Cui Zibo the job of the prefect of Yecheng for no reason... ····
After getting An Miaoyi's opinion last time, Cui Shao also thought about it for a while and felt that the power of the Murong family in the Fengwu Army could not be allowed to continue to expand uncontrollably, so he also wanted to give it a try. Supporting Zhang Zhiwen to become the chief envoy of Hebei and Henan was somewhat regarded as a means to check and balance the Murong family.
Just when Cui Shao was preparing for this matter, news came from the Attendant Department that Ye Mingsheng was not going to let Murong Hui serve as the inspector of Jiyu, but planned to transfer him back to Youyan to replace Ji Heng as the inspector. Ji Heng went to Hebei and Henan as the chief envoy. The only reason why Ye Mingsheng made such a personnel transfer was that Ye Mingsheng planned to let Murong Yuliang serve as the chief envoy to Hebei and Henan!
To be honest, Cui Shao was in a very heavy mood when he first got the news. In the Fengwu Army, he and Murong Yuliang were in charge of Youyan and Liaoyang. They were both pillars of the civil service system of the Fengwu Army, because Youyan With better economic conditions than Liaoyang, and his kinship with Ye Mingsheng, Cui Shao was generally considered to have an advantage over Murong Yuliang in the Fengwu Army.
Even so, Cui Shao had deeply realized long ago that Murong Yuliang's huge advantages, the reputation and connections accumulated by the Murong clan for more than ten generations, were a very large fortune, and Feng Wujun wanted to get it. The world must make good use of people like Murong Yuliang, so no surprise, Murong Yuliang will definitely be reused by Ye Mingsheng...
Although they both come from a wealthy family, the influence of the Cui family in Liaoyang is okay, but in the world, it is nothing. Compared with Murong, a golden sign, it may be an exaggeration to say that there is a difference between cloud and mud. Some, but in fact it is not much different. Now Ye Mingsheng has transferred Murong Yuliang to serve as the chief envoy of Hebei and Henan, which undoubtedly confirms Cui Shao's previous guess.
Ye Mingsheng wants to use Murong Yuliang's ability and the influence of the Murong family to further clear up the long-standing abuses in Jiyu's officialdom, so that Jiyu can stabilize as soon as possible and provide blood transfusion for the Fengwu Army. From Ye Mingsheng's perspective, Cui Shao believes that Ye Mingsheng's move is very correct. It can be said that he knows people well and makes the best use of everything!
However, from his own point of view, Cui Shao was not in a good mood. After all, although many people in Jiyu fled due to famine and war, their economic base, working-age population, and cultivated land area far exceeded that of Youyan, and in Fengwu Army Under a series of policies, many people in Henan who originally left their hometowns have begun to return to their hometowns, gearing up to build their hometowns.
Coupled with the protection of the Fengwu Army, Murong Yuliang can flex his muscles in Hebei and Henan, and it is almost guaranteed to achieve great results!
When the time comes for Hebei and Yu to develop and get on the right track, then Murong Yuliang, as the chief envoy of the ruling party, will inevitably have a higher status in the Fengwu Army... ············
In this way, Murong Yuliang will have a great impact on Cui Shao's position in the Fengwu Army, not to mention that there is Murong Hui in the Fengwu Army!
Every time he saw Murong Hui, a young man, and his nephew, Cui Shao would sigh in his heart. As the top family in the Zhou Dynasty, the Murong family has been passed down for hundreds of years. They are indeed not ordinary people. In terms of the cultivation of the family's descendants, There is indeed a set!
Murong Hui is very capable at a young age. He single-handedly crossed the river and killed the gang of local snakes in Ji Yu. He is also very self-disciplined in character and is not corrupt or lustful. He is a humble gentleman. This is really rare. Talents!
From the perspective of the Fengwu Army, I was very happy to have Murong's uncle and nephew helping Cui Shao. This undoubtedly increased the possibility of the Fengwu Army taking over the world.
However, considering his own and family interests, the abilities and values displayed by Murong's uncle and nephew definitely made Cui Shao feel the pressure. Now that Murong Qingwu has not given birth to a son, the situation is better, and the conflict between the two parties is not so acute. When Murong Qingwu gives birth to her son, the situation will become even more lively.
Therefore, in order to nip it in the bud, Cui Shao did not want to see Murong Yuliang serve as the chief envoy to Hebei and Henan. In order to prevent this from happening, he even considered serving as the chief envoy to Hebei and Henan, although he was very afraid of Murong. Yuliang's family background, but Cui Shao is still very confident in his abilities and methods. He is definitely above Murong Yuliang...
However, Cui Shao gave up on this idea after thinking about it for a few days. Although he was stronger than Murong Yuliang in terms of ability and means, the personal connections that Murong Yuliang represented were simply unmatched by him. Murong Yuliang might have met several people. What he can easily accomplish with a few meals may require a lot of effort on his part.
After giving up the idea of taking action personally, Murong Yuliang set his sights on Zhang Zhiwen and wanted to push him. Zhang Zhiwen was responsible for reforms in Hebei and Henan, and he was very effective. More than a dozen dams and canals were operating steadily. During the construction, the reform of the tax system also gave the Chief Secretary of Hebei and Henan the ability to make blood.
In addition, Zhang Zhiwen has worked in Hebei and Henan for a year and has a very good understanding of the local situation in Hebei and Henan, so he is fully qualified to compete for the position of Chief Envoy of Hebei and Henan.
If he just wanted to give it a try before, then Cui Shao became a little serious after comprehensive consideration. However, considering Ye Mingsheng's attitude, Cui Shao was still a little hesitant.
At this critical moment, Ye Mingsheng appointed Cui Zibo as the prefect of Yecheng. Although it seemed like an appeasement, Cui Shao could also feel a hint of warning in it. Ye Mingsheng was telling himself, what are you going to do? I know that I will arrange a good position for your son, and you put aside all your petty thoughts so that everyone can be decent!
Now that Ye Mingsheng had spoken, Cui Shao could only acquiesce silently even though he was unwilling to do so, and nodded slightly towards An Miaoyi. Seeing the helplessness in Cui Shao's eyes, An Miaoyi also realized with some disappointment, Murong Yuliang's appointment as the Chief Envoy to Hebei and Henan has been completely unstoppable...

Jiyu, under the city of Shangzhou
Under the cover of hundreds of red-coated cannons, tens of thousands of Fengwu Army soldiers were launching wave after wave of offensives toward Shangzhou.
Although during the Fengwu Army's offensive, the soldiers of the Zhennan Army who were defending the city were still able to stand, it was obvious that they were already very strenuous!
At this time, on a watchtower outside the city, Ma Zhongjun walked up to Yuan Song, who was holding a telescope to observe the siege situation, and said in a low voice:
"General, Marshal, he has led his troops from Yijing to Jiyu. It is expected to arrive in about ten days!"
Feeling the dullness in Ma Zhongjun's voice, Yuan Song looked at him and said lightly:
"It's a good thing that the commander-in-chief came to help in person! Why don't you look happy?"
After hearing what Yuan Song said, Ma Zhongjun said directly without hiding his thoughts:
"General, our army has advantages over the enemy in terms of strength, artillery fire, cavalry, and logistical support. However, our army is still fighting like this. We need the commander to personally lead his troops to support us. I don't think this is a good thing. This is just a bad thing." Can explain..."
Ma Zhongjun, who was a little excited, stopped abruptly at the end, while Yuan Song continued calmly:
"You're trying to say that this shows our incompetence, right?"
Seeing Yuan Song speaking out what was in his heart, Ma Zhongjun gritted his teeth and nodded under Yuan Song's gaze. Seeing this, Yuan Song patted his shoulder, and then looked at Shangzhou City in front of him. After a moment of silence, he felt a little confused. He said with emotion:
"Zhongjun, you are right! Compared with Xu Zhaojie, I, Yuan Song, am indeed incompetent..."
As soon as these words came out, Ma Zhongjun was shocked and quickly advised Yuan Song:
"A general is a common soldier. The defeat in Chengfeng County was just due to Xu Zhaojie's good luck. Now he has not been defeated by our army, and he can only be trapped in Shangzhou and Shenzhou, and he is a trapped beast needlessly fighting!"
In response to Ma Zhongjun's advice, Yuan Song shook his head and said:
"Don't underestimate Xu Zhaojie. Except for the defeat in Chengfeng County, Xu Zhaojie was able to fight back and forth with our army when our army had all the advantages. Xu Zhaojie was always able to make correct judgments before me. It is really very powerful. If I were to command the Zhennan Army, I am afraid it would have been defeated thousands of miles away!"
Seeing that Yuan Song admired Xu Zhaojie so much, Ma Zhongjun didn't know what to say. After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively said:
"The general and the commander will arrive soon. Do you think we should strengthen our offensive against Shangzhou and try to capture Shangzhou and surround Shenzhou before the commander arrives?"
During this period of time, Ma Zhongjun still couldn't figure out what Yuan Song was doing during the offensive in Shangzhou. According to his idea, artillery opened the way, and tens of thousands of people in the army went all out to attack Shangzhou. If he had done this from the beginning, he would have been able to do it yesterday. After capturing Shangzhou, Yuan Song seemed to deliberately delay the time. Although the artillery fire was very fierce, he only sent two battalions to attack the city every day, as if he was wearing out blood bit by bit... ·············
Facing Ma Zhongjun’s proposal, Yuan Song smiled and said:
"Zhongjun, don't worry. Our army may be able to capture Shangzhou before the general arrives. Facing an opponent like Xu Zhaojie, the most important thing is to seek stability. You can't give him the slightest flaw, otherwise as long as he sees If he gets the chance, he will kill you with one strike!”
Having said this, Ma Zhongjun still looked puzzled, and Yuan Song had no choice but to continue explaining:
"Although the fierce attack is good, Zhongjun, have you thought about the casualties? You don't really think that the commander-in-chief came to Jiyu in person just to repel Xu Zhaojie, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Ma Zhongjun looked stunned at first, and then a little surprise appeared on his face. He had always been a little confused about Ye Mingsheng personally leading troops to support Jiyu this time, although Xu Zhaojie won the victory in the early stage. He won the victory in Feng County, and invaded Jiyu and captured Shenzhou and Shangzhou.
However, after the First Army carried out war mobilization and regrouped, the offensive of the Zhennan Army under Xu Zhaojie had been completely frustrated. Although Xu Zhaojie's commanding ability was very powerful, the strong overall strength of the First Army and Yuan Song's tactics of seeking stability and not making mistakes. , more than 30,000 Zhennan troops were captured in Hebei and Henan, and the space for movement was being compressed little by little. If things continue like this, Xu Zhaojie will actually be beaten back to Anqing in a short time.
Therefore, Ma Zhongjun felt in his heart that the First Army alone could repel Xu Zhaojie. When the situation in Yunbin was so difficult, Ye Mingsheng did not need to lead the precious reserve team to support. However, if he planned to take a bite of the Zhennan Army, Ye Mingsheng Come to help and it will be explained...
After thinking carefully for a while, Ma Zhongjun said worriedly:
"I heard that the battle in Yunbin was very hard, and the brothers of the Second and Third Army suffered heavy casualties. Isn't it a little bit to still hope for a counterattack in Hebei and Henan under such circumstances..."
Yuan Song heard this and said in a deep voice:
"Since the commander-in-chief has made this decision, he must have considered the pros and cons and considered everything. You and I can just be responsible for the execution! Besides, although Shangguan Hongyuan worked hard to gather 200,000 troops this time, but this time With two hundred thousand people eating horse chews every day, how long can the Luo'an court sustain it?"
"Besides, the Yunbin battlefield has been fought for a month now, and the Luo'an Forbidden Army has not made much progress except to capture a county! Although the situation in Yunbin is difficult, we can still hold on, and it is far from the worst!"
"As soon as the reinforcements arrive, General Commander, including the soldiers and horses of the Fourth Army, the total number of troops and horses of our army in Anqing, Hebei, Henan, and Anqing will exceed 120,000. No matter how powerful Xu Zhaojie is in the face of absolute strength, he will also There will be nothing you can do! This time the commander is determined and wants to teach Xu Zhaojie a lesson!"
"Because of this, our army cannot fight too fast in Shangzhou. The combat effectiveness of the Zhennan Army is not weak. If we attack Shangzhou with all our strength, our army will pay a high price. This will not be conducive to our army's subsequent counterattack, and It is also possible that Xu Zhaojie was scared away. If he retreats to Anqing now, our army's counterattack will become even more troublesome!"
After Yuan Song finished speaking, Ma Zhongjun understood his thoughts and said with great admiration:
"The general is far-sighted and far-sighted, which I cannot match!"
Regarding Ma Zhongjun's rainbow fart, Yuan Song waved his hand and then ordered:
"The Zhennan Army in Shangzhou City still has at least 5,000 people. They are likely to seek a breakout in the next few days. Zhongjun, you and your troops will kill Sanshengpo. You must not allow them to retreat to Shenzhou and Xu Zhaojie." round························"
