After eating the meal brought by Bai Yuanyuan, Ye Mingsheng saw that it was still early and planned to find a bed to take a nap, but unexpectedly, Ye Cheng came over at this time and said: Lan
"Sir, Director Huo came to report that Mrs. Pei's matter has come to an end..."
Hearing the news, Ye Mingsheng's eyes narrowed slightly and he nodded slightly. Seeing this, Ye Cheng immediately brought Huo San to Ye Mingsheng.
"The humble Huo San has met your lord!" When he came to Ye Mingsheng, Huo San immediately bowed in greeting.
Ye Mingsheng waved his hand and then asked:
"What results did you find out?"
Facing Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Huo San bowed and said:
"On March 9th, Gu An went to Changshan Medical Center to find Mrs. Pei to plead for the Gu family!" Lan
Hearing the name Gu An, Ye Mingsheng frowned slightly and asked with some confusion:
"Who is this Gu An?"
Huo San patiently explained:
"Sir, this person is the wife of General Gu Shouting of the Fifth Division and the first lady's cousin, An Huihui!"
When Ye Mingsheng heard the identity of Gu An, although his face was expressionless, he couldn't help but have a doubt in his heart.
Does this matter have anything to do with An Miaoyi?
Because of the warning some time ago, An Miaoyi has always been honest and faithful to her duties as a wife during this period, and has not done anything out of the ordinary... ····Lan
Are you unwilling to be lonely again and want to make some small moves in secret?
Although he had such thoughts, Ye Mingsheng remained expressionless on the surface and motioned to Huo San to continue the introduction.
Huo San continued:
"This Mrs. Gu An is also very scheming. In order to gain Mrs. Pei's sympathy, she did not go to see Mrs. Pei alone, but brought her and Gu Shouting's children. The three of them cried to death in front of Mrs. Pei. , and said that if Mrs. Pei doesn't save them, their whole family will die!"
"Seeing their rejoicing, Mrs. Pei's maid Xiaohuan kicked them out. Afterwards, they were stationed at the head of the guard camp of Changshan Medical Center. They wanted to report the matter, but Mrs. Pei stopped them. Come down!"
"According to Mrs. Pei's maid Xiaohuan, Mrs. Pei had just found out that she was pregnant, and then something like this happened. Mrs. Pei seemed to be greatly stimulated and thought it was God's will!"
After listening to Huo San's story, Ye Mingsheng said in a deep voice: Lan
"I asked the personal guard battalion to seal off the entire Gu Mansion. How did this Gu An escape?"
Huo San continued to explain:
"Gu An and her child put on coarse linen clothes, lied that they were unimportant servants of the Gu family, and spent thirty taels of silver to bribe a guard battalion who was sneaking out... ·····················》
"After coming out of Changshan Medical Center, Gu An and her two children never returned to the Gu Mansion. Our Coordination Office has currently investigated that Gu An and her two children have left Yi Jing and headed south. Go ahead, our coordination office is continuing to investigate!"
Hearing this answer, Ye Mingsheng was obviously not very satisfied, but he also knew that the Coordination Office had done its best, so he didn't say anything more and continued to ask:
"How about Gu Shouting's stay at Sanshan Xiaozhu?"
Huo San heard the words and said without thinking: Lan
"At first, Gu Shouting was still complaining about injustice in Sanshan Xiaozhu. Later, when his crime was discovered, he blamed you for not trusting him. You sent him to Jiyu, leaving him with little talent but no chance of fulfilling his ambition!"
"But later, after we gave him the evidence of his contact with the Luo'an court, he didn't dare to quibble. His only request now is that your lord, please grant him death and don't implicate his family!"
Listening to Huo San's explanation, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but show a little disdain in his eyes. This Gu Shouting really didn't shed tears without seeing the coffin!
he knows very well
Gu Shouting is a rare general, very capable!
However, after the Fengwu Army entered Youyan, the Coordination Office investigated and found out that Zhao Fuqu did not say that Gu Shouting was related to the Luoan court for no reason, so he was thrown into prison and tortured... ·················
This kid had indeed been flirting with the Luo'an court, and even planned an action to overthrow Zhao Fuqu's regime in Youyan.
Later, after Zhao Fuqu forced Gu Shouting to go back due to circumstances, he still had contact with the Supervision Department and had no intention of giving up on the Luoan court and always wanted to welcome Master Wang. Lan
However, he became disheartened later when he saw that the Luo'an court focused its strategy on the southern patrol to attack Sichuan and had no intention of attacking Youyan eastward to attack Zhao Fuqu. It happened that at that time he realized that the Fengwu Army The possibility of entering the customs, so he defected to the Fengwu Army.
After joining the Fengwu Army, Gu Shouting had no contact with the Luo'an court anymore. He had always been very law-abiding. This is why Ye Mingsheng kept him until now. If he was still disconnected from the Luo'an court, Ye Mingsheng would have killed him long ago. head.
However, Ye Mingsheng's principle of employment has always been to employ people without doubt and without doubt. Moreover, the Yunbin War is related to the future and destiny of the Fengwu Army. Ye Mingsheng naturally does not dare to be careless. Although Gu Shouting has severed contact with the Luo'an court, he is not afraid of ten thousand Just in case!
Gu Shouting was the general of the Fifth Division and a senior general of the Fengwu Army. If he defected on the battlefield, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Fengwu Army, and the entire battle might even collapse!
Therefore, Ye Mingsheng could not take this risk, so Ye Mingsheng always ignored Gu Shouting's application for war and let Gu Shouting and the Fifth Division stay in Yujing... ·············
Originally, Ye Mingsheng transferred Gu Shouting back to Yi Jing and put him under house arrest this time, not because he was implicated by his family. It was just Ye Mingsheng's preventive measure.
Ye Mingsheng was not prepared to kill him, but what Ye Mingsheng did not expect was that this guy had weaved a huge profit network in Yujing, and engaged in illegal activities such as occupying fields, reselling contraband, and becoming an umbrella for black products. Behavioral activities. Lan
If Wang Xuecheng hadn't presented him with all the witnesses and evidence, Ye Mingsheng wouldn't have believed that Gu Shouting would do such a thing!
This made Ye Mingsheng very disappointed. He was a person who loved talents. He still admired Gu Shouting's talents and abilities. Although he was not prepared to let him deal with the Luo'an court, Ye Mingsheng planned to wait until he went south to attack the south. When the time comes, reuse Gu Shouting to give him full room to develop!
But now that he is here to look after Shouting, it is embarrassing and he has failed to live up to his long-standing expectations!
Taking his thoughts away from Gu Shouting, Ye Mingsheng looked deeply at Huo San, who was bowing in front of him.
Huo San is a little clever. He knows that he has a special status. His only choice is to be loyal to Ye Mingsheng and listen to Ye Mingsheng.
But Huo San is a very "far-sighted" person, so he takes An Miaoyi's account very seriously, and he will also resolve matters that are not conducive to An Miaoyi as appropriate... ···················
Although the two of them did not dare to contact each other after his previous warning, if An Miaoyi was really instigating Gu An's escape, Huo San would probably cover up for An Miaoyi, and now Huo Sanyuan said it as it is, which shows that An Miaoyi most likely has nothing to do with this matter. Lan
While Ye Mingsheng was thinking, Huo San seemed to have thought of something. He hesitated and raised his head and said to Ye Mingsheng:
"Takahide Kobayakawa of Miyato reported that someone is investigating the Black Dragon Society and seems to be very interested in... Akiyama Morie!"
After hearing the news, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but said calmly:
"Takahide Kobayakawa, can you tell me where the people who investigated the Black Dragon Society came from?"
Although Ye Mingsheng's voice was still very calm, Huo San, who was familiar with Ye Mingsheng's character, answered tremblingly at this moment:
"Kobayakawa Takahide said she
It has not been investigated clearly, but I think she means within our army! "
Looking at Huo San, Ye Mingsheng said calmly: Lan
"Check properly!"
"yes!"
After waving Huo San away, Ye Mingsheng was silent for a long time. Then he took out a written warrant from the desk drawer. After being silent for a while, he put the warrant back in the drawer.
The time is not yet completely mature, so he cannot rush it. He still needs to wait patiently for a while!

····························
The clouds merge, the Huangfengling lan on the outskirts of Pingyang
Dozens of red-coated cannons from the Fengwu Army were roaring. One by one, all the shells hit the Forbidden Army barracks on Huangfeng Ridge. For a moment, the dust on Huangfeng Ridge was flying and the whole earth seemed to be shaking.
Facing the Fengwu Army's artillery attack, the Forbidden Army on Huang Maple Ridge also wanted to fight back with artillery fire. However, it was a pity that the Fengwu Army's artillery was more numerous, more accurate than them, and had a farther range than them.
Therefore, the Forbidden Army and the Fengwu Army on Huang Maple Ridge exchanged fire for a while, but found that their artillery fire was getting less and less, so they stopped firing and did not dare to fight against the Fengwu Army. They allowed the Fengwu Army to bombard them with artillery fire. Fight back without showing your head,
After a total of 300 artillery shells were fired and the Forbidden Army camp on Huangfengling was smashed to pieces, Yuan Song, who was holding a telescope on the watchtower to observe the situation, allowed the soldiers to charge.
Following Yuan Song's order, the two battalions of the Eighth Division, with a total of 7,000 soldiers and horses, shouted slogans and launched a charge towards the enemy camp on Huangfeng Ridge.
Facing the charge of the Fengwu Army, the originally silent Forbidden Army soldiers on Huang Fengling began to move at this moment. They used bows and arrows, crossbows, fire blunderbuss, squatting tiger cannons, artillery and a series of weapons to stop the Fengwu Army. charge.
However, the well-trained soldiers of the Eighth Division still withstood the enemy's attack and fought to the edge of the camp to engage the enemy in close combat. For a time, the entire Huangfeng Ridge turned into a hell of Shura. Bloody corpses, broken arms and limbs could be seen everywhere, shouting The sound of killing and mourning is endless...
On the watchtower at the rear, Yuan Song put down the telescope in his hand and asked Xun Ke beside him:
"Commander Xun, how long do you think the enemy troops on Huang Maple Ridge can hold out?"
Listening to Yuan Song's words, Xun Ke looked at the battle on Huang Maple Ridge, looking a little dazed, recalling the scene a month ago when he led the cavalry of the Third Army to attack Huang Maple Ridge, trying to open up a road to rescue Pingyang City.
However, Xun Ke's thoughts quickly returned to the present, and he met Yuan Song's gaze and said:
"There are more than 5,000 forbidden troops on Huang Maple Ridge. With the current intensity of our army's attack, they can hold out for at most two days!"
Yuan Song didn't say anything after hearing this, but turned his gaze back to the battlefield and asked again:
"Commander Xun, do you think our army should maintain the current offensive intensity?" Lan
Faced with Yuan Song's question, Xun Ke thought for a while and said:
"Based on the current situation, there is still no movement from the enemy forces in Lanjiapo and Helong Town. Yang Chongqing seems to be giving up on Huangfengling and is not planning to send any troops over!"
When Yuan Song heard this, he slightly raised his forehead and said with some emotion:
"After capturing Huangfengling, we can attack Eryang Mountain. I thought that Yang Chongqing would not give up Huangfengling so easily. At least, he would let the forbidden troops in Lanjiapo and Helong Town contain our army from the flanks and disperse our troops. We can’t attack Huangfengling with all our strength, but Yang Chongqing’s idea is still so unexpected!”
Speaking of this, Yuan Song shook his head, then called the messenger and said:
"Let the second division also join the battle. We must capture Huang Maple Ridge before dark today... ·
After listening to Yuan Song's order, Xun Ke, the deputy commander-in-chief, seemed to realize something.
He immediately opened his mouth and asked: Lan
"Master Yuan, do you want to hit Lanjiapo and Helong Town next?"
Yuan Song nodded and said seriously:
"Although Eryang Mountain is close at hand, Eryang Mountain is a key place to guard Pingyang, and Yang Chongqing is personally in charge of Eryang Mountain!"
"It will be very difficult to capture Eryang Mountain, so instead of attacking Eryang Mountain directly, it is better to wipe out several enemy strongholds outside Pingyang City first!"
Speaking of this, Yuan Song looked at Xun Ke seriously, hesitated for a moment but still said:
"Commander Xun, I have a mission for your third division!"
After listening to Yuan Song's words, Xun Ke suddenly became energetic and looked at Yuan Song expectantly. Under his gaze, Yuan Song pointed to the sand table and said;
"After capturing Huangfengling, our army's road to Pingyang City and Eryang Mountain has been completely opened. I would like to ask the brothers of the Third Division to go deep into the enemy's hinterland and feint a shot under Pingyang City. This aspect is Containing the enemy's forces is also to test the enemy's movements··································· "
