The current combat model of the Fengwu Army is that Ye Mingsheng proposes combat goals and requirements, and then the staff department is responsible for formulating combat plans·······················
After the staff department formulated the battle plan, Ye Mingsheng handed it over to the military officer responsible for its execution, listened to and summarized their opinions, and then returned the battle plan to the staff department for revision, and asked the staff officer responsible for formulating the plan to Reach as much unity as possible with the general responsible for execution.
Because he knew how much he had, Ye Mingsheng only put forward requirements and goals. During the process of formulating the plan, he basically did not express his opinions and did not let his attitude affect the choices of these staff officers and generals.
Although the battle plan was formulated, Ye Mingsheng also understood that the battlefield situation was changing rapidly, and strictly following the battle plan would only lead to a dead end, so he also gave the frontline generals the power to make arbitrary decisions when the situation arises. However, Ye Mingsheng also asked the frontline generals to take over the power from their opponents. And responsible for the results on the battlefield.
After unifying the opinions of the military, Ye Mingsheng will go to Cui Shao and Gu Sansi from the government affairs department to negotiate various matters.
It seems that a war is about two armies facing each other, but in fact it is not the same thing. Things like the transportation of logistics supplies, the construction and maintenance of fortifications, the transfer of the wounded, etc. all require the cooperation of the local government. And this requires a strong government affairs system to coordinate and organize...
This is why Ye Mingsheng has always appointed Cui Shaolai as the leader of the Fengwu Army civilian system. Although Cui Shao is selfish and has strong bureaucratic habits, he has many shortcomings in Ye Mingsheng's view.
But I have to say that this old bureaucrat is still very capable. He has been an official for decades and knows very well how various government departments operate. The reason why the Fengwu Army has been able to win consecutive battles on the battlefield in recent years is that in a few years It occupies half of the world, and Cui Shao, who is responsible for coordinating the organization behind the scenes, can be said to have contributed a lot.
After leaving professional matters to professionals, all Ye Mingsheng needs to do is to coordinate the overall deployment of resources so that both the civil service system and the military can better cooperate and act as a supervisory authority for everyone. effect.
Judging from the current development trend of the Fengwu Army, the power structure designed by Ye Mingsheng is still very effective, allowing everyone to perform their duties and exert their abilities.
Since he transferred Yuan Song to Yunbin and readjusted Yunbin's military deployment, Ye Mingsheng has paid great attention to the war situation in Yunbin battlefield and asked the Fengwu army in Yunbin battlefield to send back a battle report every five days. Show it to him.
Looking at the battle report in his hand, Ye Mingsheng looked very serious and solemn. Although he asked for a battle report in five days, because there are hundreds of miles from Jinzhong to Yijing, the actual battle report in Ye Mingsheng's hand is The situation on the battlefield eight days ago...
Judging from the description of this battle report, although the Fengwu Army has not achieved much results in the Yunbin area, the two sides are still in a stalemate. Sporadic small groups of scout troops are constantly fighting, but the main forces of both sides remain quiet.
However, Yuan Song has completed the investigation of the situation around Jinyang and is currently accumulating food and supplies in preparation for launching a large-scale attack on the enemies of Jinyang after the year.
One month after Yuan Song was ordered to go to Yunbin, he reported all his opinions on the Yunbin battlefield to Ye Mingsheng
Yuan Song believes that the situation of the Fengwu Army soldiers on the Yunbin battlefield is much better than expected. Although there are some problems, overall the Second Army and the Third Army are still in good condition. These more than 100,000 soldiers are high-spirited and want to make contributions. Have a blast!
Although he affirmed the situation of the Fengwu Army on the Yunbin battlefield, Yuan Song also pointed out some shortcomings.
First of all, Yuan Song believed that although the Fengwu Army had an artillery advantage against Yunbing Army on the battlefield of Yunbing, Yunbing Army was trying to catch up with the gap. In addition, Yunbing Army had realized that fighting in the field with Fengwu Army out of the city was not the same. The way back, so their strategy has become to occupy the city and defend it.
To use Wang Muzhi's original words at the Yun Bing Army meeting, each of the Yun Bing's cities should be turned into a solid fortress and the tomb of the Fengwu Army.
So Yuan Song wanted to get more red cannons, especially heavy cannons. He wanted to use cannonballs to smash Wang Muzhi's turtle shell... ·······
In addition to wanting more artillery, Yuan Song also asked Ye Mingsheng to give him more time. He believed that the Fengwu Army would definitely be able to capture Jinyang this year and completely occupy the entire territory of Yunbin. However, if they are eager for quick success and quick gains, they will have to pay a lot. Unnecessary sacrifice.
Ye Mingsheng did not fully agree to Yuan Song's request. He promised Yuan Song that he would deploy artillery and artillery from the rear to support Yun Bing's battle.
But regarding Yuan Song's second request, Ye Mingsheng made his own request. Ye Mingsheng asked Yuan Song to capture Jinyang before July this year!
What is war?
War is a continuation of politics!
Now the probability that Shangguan Hongyuan is alive is 50/50. Even if he is still alive, he will soon die. In order to maintain the stability of the Luoan court's political situation, Shangguan Changgong will most likely adopt the strategy of keeping secrets and not announcing his funeral until he is completely stable. The court announced his father's death.
However, the people in the Luo'an court are not three-year-old children. They can be frightened by Shangguan Changgong's tricks. Although they were beaten by Shangguan Hongyuan's plan to invite the king into the urn, they dare not act rashly now, but as long as Fengwu Army is there, If Yun Bing makes a breakthrough on the battlefield, they will definitely unite to force him to go to the palace.
At that time, Shangguan Changgong's secret strategy of not announcing the funeral will usher in a fierce backlash, and it is not impossible to completely defeat the Luo'an court... ····················
In addition to political considerations, Ye Mingsheng's request to Yuan Song also had economic considerations.
As the two major provinces of Qi, Shandong and Hebei are on the right track through reforms, the Fengwu Army has now accumulated some financial resources. However, these financial resources are not strong and cannot support more than 100,000 soldiers to fight for too long. By July It's already the limit!

Jinyang City, the second day of the Lunar New Year
Wang Muzhi was eating dumplings with a smile on his face, being served by his concubine Ziying. According to the law of the court, a governor like him who led troops could not take his family with him, but had to keep his family in Luo. install.
Although the war in Yunbin involved most of Wang Muzhi's energy, as a man in his prime, Wang Muzhi also had his own needs. As a high-ranking man, he didn't even need to speak for someone to come to his door.
For most of the women who came to his door, Wang Muzhi just treated them as tools, but he liked Ziying very much and brought her to serve him.
Leaning in Wang Muzhi's arms, Ziying picked up a dumpling and fed it into Wang Muzhi's mouth, and then asked expectantly:
"Master, how do you like the dumplings I made?"
"Wang Muzhi smiled and said:
"The delicious food in this world is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten in my life!"
Hearing what Wang Muzhi said, Ziying was both happy and a little shy. She lowered her head and said coyly:
"I know how to make you happy. You are a famous hero all over the world. You have eaten so many delicacies from the mountains and seas. Compared with them, this plate of dumplings is nothing!"
Seeing Ziying's shy look, Wang Muzhi felt better and better the more he looked at her. As Governor Yun Bing, he didn't know how many times he had heard the sound of patting horses, but those words together were not as good as Ziying's heroic voice. happy·························
While taking a sip of fragrance on Ziying's pretty face, Wang Muzhi whispered in the beauty's ear:
"I, Wang Muzhi, have eaten many dumplings before. There is nothing special about them. But the dumplings made by you, Ziying, are definitely the most delicious ones in the world. Master, I am extremely fascinated!"
As he spoke, Wang Muzhi's left hand took Ziying's little hand and touched his left chest, as if to let Ziying feel the beating of his heart.
Just as Wang Muzhi and Ziying were farming, suddenly there was an untimely rush of footsteps outside the door. Hearing the footsteps, Wang Muzhi couldn't help but frown slightly. During this period, the Fengwu Army moved frequently, although He never launched a large-scale offensive, but it also made him feel deep pressure, making him unable to sleep well for several days.
Fortunately, the Fengwu Army is also celebrating the New Year. From the 25th, the Fengwu Army's movements have gradually become calmer, except for firing two cannons at Heyi County from time to time.
Wang Muzhi was also relieved about this, preparing to spend a good year in the gentle countryside, wash away the fatigue of the past year, and then concentrate on responding to the Fengwu Army's offensive. Wang Muzhi had a premonition of what he would face next. The Fengwu Army's offensive will be unprecedented...
That's why Wang Muzhi has been coveting Wenwenxiang in the past few days and let Ziying stay by his side all the time. After all, when the war breaks out, he can no longer be distracted by women. He must do his best to deal with Feng The military offensive.
Therefore, in order to spend a good year and completely relax in the gentle countryside, Wang Muzhi specifically told his subordinates not to disturb him unless the Fengwu Army invaded in large numbers.
So when his subordinate Li Zhen came in to report, Wang Muzhi took the lead and asked before he could speak:
"The Fengwu Army invaded in large numbers?"
Faced with Wang Muzhi's sullen inquiry, Li Zhen hesitated and said:
"The Fengwu Army did not invade in large numbers!"
After hearing this answer from Li Zhen, Wang Muzhi, who was already dissatisfied, immediately yelled:
"Did I tell you before that you should not disturb me unless the Fengwu Army invades in large numbers?"
"Li Zhen, are you turning a deaf ear to my words?"
Feeling Wang Muzhi's anger, Li Zhen groaned secretly in his heart, but at this time he could only face Wang Muzhi's sharp eyes and said bravely:
"Sir Governor, although the Fengwu Army did not invade in large numbers, they have now taken over Wenshan County?"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Muzhi was immediately startled and asked subconsciously:
"Li Zhen, what did you say?"
"Wenshan County was occupied by the Fengwu Army, and Sun Hansheng died in the battle..."
Before Li Zhen finished speaking, Wang Muzhi interrupted him and said sharply:
"What nonsense are you talking about! There are 7,000 of our troops in Wenshan County. How could the Fengwu Army take Wenshan County so quickly?"
Facing Wang Muzhi's rhetorical question, Li Zhen said in fear:
"I don't know the specific situation of the Governor. This is the news sent back by Wenshan County!"
Although instinctively he still didn't want to believe the news, looking at Li Zhen's look, Wang Muzhi also understood that he didn't have the guts to lie to himself on this issue.
Turning his head and looking at Ziying who was shivering at the side, Wang Muzhi ordered in a deep voice:
"You're at home!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Muzhi straightened his clothes, mounted his horse and rushed to the military camp. He wanted to find out what was going on as soon as possible.
Three hours later, a soldier who was in a state of embarrassment and covered with scars knelt in front of Wang Muzhi and cried bitterly:
"Sir Governor, the fall of Wenshan County and the death of General Sun were all caused by this bastard He Dechang!"
"After He Dechang secretly resold military rations and was discovered by Commander-in-Chief Sun, in order to prevent Commander-in-Chief Sun from reporting him, he said he would get the rations back to stabilize Commander-in-Chief Sun. For the sake of his colleagues in the army, Commander-in-Chief Sun gave him a few It’s time for him to ask for military rations..."
"Who would have thought that He Dechang, a bastard like a pig or a dog, would actually collude with the Fengwu Army? He and the Fengwu Army discussed it. On New Year's Eve, he opened the west gate and let the Fengwu Army into the city. The Fengwu Army gave way. He got promoted and made a fortune!"
"On New Year's Eve, General Sun was aware of the danger and sent troops to capture him in order to recapture the west city gate. However, it was too late. The Fengwu army all rushed over while we were fighting, and they opened it in the chaos. City gate!"
"Although Mr. Sun led his brothers to not give up any ground, and led the brothers to drive the Fengwu Army back, the Fengwu Army was too numerous. We were outnumbered and were scattered by the Fengwu Army. , even General Sun was captured by the Fengwu Army, but General Sun vowed not to surrender, and even scolded Ye Mingsheng in front of the rebel generals for being a wolf-hearted man. The number one traitor will be punished by everyone in the world..."
"The rebel generals were so enraged by General Sun's words that they actually quartered General Sun alive and hung his head on the city gate of Wenshan County!"
Speaking of this, the soldier seemed to think of the tragic situation at that time, with a trace of fear in his eyes and his voice trembled.
