Looking at Xiao Jingxuan with an expectant expression, Ye Mingsheng touched his head and asked with a smile:
"Jingxuan, you did a good job in your homework, what reward do you want..."
Hearing his father's words, Xiao Jingxuan's face suddenly showed a happy smile. After thinking for a while, he raised his head and said to Ye Mingsheng:
"Dad, I want a brother!"
Ye Mingsheng was shocked when these words came out, and also laughed a little. Pei Zhixiu on the side also looked a little embarrassed.
Ye Mingsheng was also a little curious and asked Xiao Jingxuan again:
"Why do you think of this?"
Facing Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Xiao Jingxuan said seriously:
"Eldest brother, the second brother has a younger brother but I don't, so Jingxuan also wants a younger brother!"
Looking at the young son with eyes full of innocence, Ye Mingsheng also looked at Pei Zhixiu who was aside. Pei Zhixiu also showed a hint of shyness, but he still changed the topic to prevent the father and son from discussing this issue. Talk more.
At night, Ye Mingsheng hugged Pei Zhixiu on the bed and whispered in her ear:
"what happened?"
Bae Ji Soo hesitated for a moment but still said:
"I think I'm pregnant again!"
Ye Mingsheng was also very surprised when he heard the news. He kissed Pei Zhixiu and said with a smile:
"This is a good thing! Jingxuan wants a younger brother, and now his wish can be fulfilled..."
Pei Zhixiu was silent for a while after hearing this, and then suddenly hugged Ye Mingsheng tightly, leaned into Ye Mingsheng's arms and whispered with a complicated expression:
"Ms. sir, I've been dreaming about my past lately!"
Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised when he said this. Pei Zhixiu's past affairs were a tacit understanding between him and Pei Zhixiu. He would never ask, and Pei Zhixiu had never taken the initiative to mention it to him.
Caressing Pei Zhixiu's back, Ye Mingsheng said gently but firmly:
"Don't worry, my husband will always be your backing. No one can hurt you as long as I am here!"
Hearing what Ye Mingsheng said, Pei Zhixiu was also very moved, and there were faint tears in his eyes.
Ye Mingsheng held Pei Zhixiu like this throughout the night, until Pei Zhixiu fell asleep in his arms. Early the next morning, Ye Mingsheng said goodbye to Pei Zhixiu and his son with a smile, returned to his study, and returned to his battlefield. The first thing Ming Sheng did was to call Huo San over.
Ye Mingsheng looked at Huo San and asked directly:
"What happened at Changshan Medical Center?"
Huo San was startled when he heard this. Ye Mingsheng's question also confused him. After hesitation, he reported to Ye Mingsheng very cautiously:
"Sir, I have not received any unusual reports from the medical center so far..."
Ye Mingsheng immediately ordered:
"There must be something wrong, please investigate it carefully!"
Ye Mingsheng knew Pei Zhixiu very well over the years they had been together. This woman rarely showed her weakness to him, but Pei Zhixiu's situation last night was very unusual.
Intuition told Ye Mingsheng that something must have happened that he didn't know about, and his informants were everywhere in the house. He knew all about the trouble, so this incident must have happened in Changshan Medical Center, and some people or Something reminded her of a past she wanted to forget.
Although he didn't know what happened, seeing Ye Mingsheng taking things so seriously, Huo San nodded and said:
"I understand, I will investigate it carefully!"
After getting Huo San's answer, Ye Mingsheng planned to let Huo San leave. He still had a lot of work to do today. In the morning, he would have a meeting with the Central Academy to discuss this year's commercial agriculture policy. In the afternoon, he would also have a general meeting. General Staff Headquarters, listen to the analysis report of the General Staff Headquarters. In addition, he also has more than twenty memorial reports to make comments on.
However, Huo San did not leave in a hurry, but reported to Ye Mingshenghui:
"My lord, our Coordination Office has a plan regarding the political situation of the Luo'an court. I wonder if your lord, do you have time to listen to my report?"
Ye Mingsheng glanced at Huo San when he heard this, and then said calmly:
"Time for a cup of tea..."
After receiving the answer from Ye Mingsheng, Huo San did not dare to waste time and immediately reported:
"Sir, some news from the Luo'an court confirms that Yang Chongqing's move to abandon Jinyang and lead his troops to encircle Pingyang did not get the consent of Shangguan Changgong in advance. It was Yang Chongqing who decided to kill first and then report!"
"Shangguan Changgong is said to be very angry about this, and our secret agent within the Supervision Department recently sent back news that the Supervision Department has recently been investigating the connection between Murong Lun and Yang Chongqing, so based on this information, we suspect that Shangguan Changgong There has been a rift between you and Yang Chongqing, and Shangguan Changgong's trust in Yang Chongqing has been shaken!"
"In addition, Commander-in-Chief Yuan, who is on the front line of Yunbin, reported to our Coordination Office that the enemy Governor-General of Yunbin, Wang Muzhi, before setting himself on fire, left a blood letter that was probably an accusation against Yang Chongqing and asked his subordinates to send it to Shangguan. In Hongyuan’s hands!”
"Our Coordination Office intends to use this bloody letter to make a fuss, intensify the rift between Shangguan Changgong and Yang Chongqing, and plunge the Luoan court into distrust and internal strife!"
After hearing this, Ye Mingsheng thought for a while and nodded:
"That's a good idea! I agree with your plan. If you need any help, you can coordinate with the staff department!"
Seeing that Ye Mingsheng agreed with his idea, Huo San immediately became energetic and bowed to Ye Mingsheng:
"Thank you for your approval! I will do my best to live up to your trust..."

Jiangnan, Chishan Prefecture
Chishan Mansion is located in the middle reaches of the Nanjiang River. It is the northern gate of the Jiangnan region. It faces Yinning County in Huainan across the river, so it is also a strategic location in the south of the Yangtze River. Lu Jianchao, the governor of Jiangnan, stationed a total of 20,000 troops here.
Although Lu Jianchao had tried his best to be as foolproof as possible, Xu Zhaojie had successfully attracted the main force of the Jiangnan Army to Qingyang Mansion, upstream of Chishan, through a series of strategic deceptions five days ago, and he led a surprise attack with 30,000 Zhennan Army. Chishan Mansion successfully captured this bridgehead for the invasion of Jiangnan.
The largest merchant in Chishan Prefecture is named Huang, and his Huang Mansion is also the most luxurious residence in Chishan Prefecture. However, it is a pity that this mansion no longer belongs to him!
Since the Zhennan Army invaded Chishan Mansion, the Huang family's granary, old house, and bank account were all requisitioned by the Zhennan Army. Although the Zhennan Army said that this was just a temporary move, the Huang family still Nothing can be done.
At this time, in a side room of Huang Mansion, Xu Zhaojie held a high-level military meeting of the Zhennan Army.
General Liang Wei of the Zhennan Army introduced Xu Zhaojie and his colleagues:
"Although the Jiangnan Army was fooled by our army, the main force of the enemy army has now completed its deployment in Chizhou and Lanxi County. According to the scout's investigation report, the enemy army has a total of 25,000 people in Chizhou, and the person who leads the army is the Jiangnan Army. General Gan Sheng······························"
"Although Gan Sheng is not well-known, he is a fierce general of the Jiangnan Army. He led his troops to decisively suppress the Chi Lianjiao rebellion that broke out in Jiangnan more than a year ago. In addition, there are many other He is one of the few generals in the Jiangnan Army who has actual combat experience and relies on his military exploits to rise up step by step!"
"In the direction of Lanxi, there is the 30,000-strong Zhennan Army commanded by Lu Jianchao's nephew Lu Yun. Compared with Gan Sheng, Lu Yun's resume is relatively weak, and he was promoted more through the promotion of his uncle Lu Jianchao. In terms of ability, Lu Yun should be inferior to Gan Sheng."
"It is worth noting that both Gan Sheng's 25,000 men in Chizhou and Lu Yun's 30,000 men in Lanxi County are equipped with a large number of Weiyuan guns and tiger squat cannons. According to some intelligence, Gan Sheng's men There will be 5,000 gunmen, and more than 100 squatting tiger cannons will be installed, as well as 15 Zhengdong cannons purchased from the Luo'an court."
"And Lu Yun has at least 8,000 gunmen, 200 squatting tiger cannons, and 20 Zhengdong cannons under his command. The firepower is very powerful. Our army must be careful!"
After hearing what Liang Wei said at the end, the generals of the Zhennan Army in the side room who had originally dismissed the combat effectiveness of the Jiangnan Army became serious... ····················
A considerable number of them were defeated generals of Fengwu Army in the Battle of Hebei and Yu. They knew the power of Fengwu Army's firearms. They had not participated in the Battle of Hebei and Yu. They also learned about it from their colleagues, so they all understood the situation. Therefore, Although the opponent was not a wolf-like Fengwu Army, they still did not dare to neglect.
After introducing these situations, Liang Wei first bowed his hands to Xu Zhaojie, who was sitting in the main seat, and then stood back in the queue.
Seeing this, Xu Zhaojie looked around at the generals in the room and said in a deep voice:
"What do you want to say about the current war situation?"
After Xu Zhaojie finished speaking, a powerful general spoke:
"This bastard Fengwu Army is really lingering. There are traces of them everywhere. Fuck Ye Mingsheng's 18th generation ancestors. This bastard really thinks he is the emperor. Damn!"
After this man's speech, all the generals woke up like a dream. They all scolded Ye Mingsheng in front of Xu Zhaojie. Each one scolded him more harshly than the other and wanted to eat Ye Mingsheng alive.
What was originally a high-level military meeting of the Zhennan Army suddenly turned into a meeting to criticize Ye Mingsheng. The generals of the Zhennan Army all understood that the words Ye Mingsheng and Fengwu Army had become the names of their Marquis Xu. An inner demon who cannot be defeated on the battlefield is not allowed to show off with words and words, so they all use this method to please Xu Zhaojie... ············
Although he knew that if these people under his command really encountered Feng Wujun and Ye Mingsheng, most of them would wilt with their tails between their legs, but at this moment, hearing these curses against Ye Mingsheng, Xu Zhaojie still felt very useful. After listening to a cup of tea, he reached out his hand with satisfaction to signal everyone to calm down.
Everyone who calmed down looked at Xu Zhaojie, waiting for their Mr. Xu to give them a battle plan and assign tasks to them.
Xu Zhaojie is arrogant and very talented in military command, so when his subordinates put forward combat ideas during the battle, he will be reprimanded mercilessly when he is dissatisfied.
In addition, the battle plans put forward by Xu Zhaojie himself often seemed to be the best choice. Therefore, over time, these generals of the Zhennan Army developed the habit of not thinking about how to fight this battle, but waiting for Xu Zhaojie. Assign them tasks.
Feeling the way everyone looked at him, Xu Zhaojie felt a little tired, but he still said his plan:
"Jiangnan has been in peace for a long time. Although the Jiangnan Army has a large number of people and is equipped with a lot of firearms, their fighting will and training level are average. Although they have the same firearms as the Fengwu Army, they are not Fengwu Army at all. There is no need to be too afraid of them, the armed forces..."
"The enemy troops are stationed in Chizhou and Lanxi County respectively. Their idea is just to wait for our army to attack one group, while the other group will take advantage of the opportunity to take back Chishan Mansion!"
"However, the art of war is true if it is false, and false if it is true. This time we will let the enemy's cleverness be misled by his cleverness!"
"This time I will personally lead 25,000 people to Lanxi County. As long as the Jiangnan Army sees me leading the main force in Lanxi, Gan Sheng will definitely raid Chishan Mansion!"
Speaking of this, Xu Zhaojie looked at Liang Wei in the queue and said:
"Liang Wei, I will leave you five thousand men. I ask you to stay for three days after Gan Sheng arrives. After three days, I will lead my army back and attack Gan Sheng's troops from front to back with your troops. This battle We must annihilate Gan Sheng’s troops under Chishan City!”
After hearing Xu Zhaojie's order, Liang Wei stood up and took the order:
"I humble my duty and obey my orders! I will definitely make Gan Sheng this thief return without success!"
Feeling the strong confidence in Liang Wei's words, Xu Zhaojie nodded with satisfaction, and then assigned tasks to the other generals.
After half a stick of incense and allocating tasks to all the generals under his command, Xu Zhaojie emphasized the key points of the battle with them and then announced that they would disperse and go back to prepare.
After doing this, Xu Zhaojie came to find the two women to relax, but what he didn't expect was that Zhennan Army General Shi Youtian hurriedly came to the room and reported:
"Master Marquis, there is news from Jingchu that Sun Chenggong is very dishonest. He has been gathering troops in the direction of Hanyang. He has also purged the power of the Luo'an imperial court internally and obtained a large number of firearms from the Fengwu Army. Chen The general suspects that he will soon attack Haman Prefecture..."
