Ye Mingsheng, who had just finished a meeting in the study room of Ye Mansion, was leaning back in his chair a little tired. Seeing this, Ye Cheng also very cleverly called two little maids to come and squeeze Ye Mingsheng's shoulders and legs... ·······················
Although his body was enjoying the massage from the little maids, Ye Mingsheng was still thinking about the content of the meeting just now.
The news sent from the Kipchak Khanate said that although Esdogan was also shocked, the Fengwu Army captured Wei Pass so quickly.
But he did not give up at all the plan to interfere with Fengwu Army's defeat of the Luo'an court. On the contrary, he wanted to speed up the intervention process!
And this undoubtedly angered Ye Mingsheng!
Recently, due to the rapid capture of Wei Pass, Luo'an has become easily accessible. Therefore, there are different views within the Fengwu Army on whether to support the new 13th Division and the 14th Division according to the original plan.
A group of civil servants led by Cui Shao and Gu Sansi believed that the tens of thousands of troops lost too much money and food along the way to Guanzhong.
Now the central government's finances are tight, and many things cannot be implemented because of lack of money. So now that Wei Pass has been conquered and Luo'an is about to be taken, there is no need to mobilize so many troops and send so many people to work on the expedition.
Although Ye Mingsheng has not yet made a final decision on their view, he agrees with it in his heart. After all, it is nearly two thousand miles from Yijing to Luo'an, and 30 to 40 thousand people are eating, drinking and having sex on the road, all of which are necessary. Silver!
Where does this money come from?
They are all the blessings of the people··························
If Wei Pass had not been captured, reinforcements would still be meaningful, but now that Wei Pass has been captured, it would be difficult for Luo'an to stop the Fengwu Army's conquest, so the reinforcements would not mean much, and the remaining silver taels would be enough. Everything is fine!
But now feeling Esdogan's determination to intervene, Ye Mingsheng also realized that he needed to rethink this issue!
Judging from Esdogan's actions, the original strategy of using the Luobei people to force the Kipchak Khanate did not seem to be that effective!
Estogan, this Kipchak barbarian, has extremely ambitious ambitions. He is determined to have sex with him for a while, but he will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't!
Since Estogan has this idea, Ye Mingsheng also decided to fulfill Estogan's wish!
After all, when the Luoan court is completely eliminated, the strategic focus of the Fengwu Army must turn to the south to completely unify the Zhou Dynasty. It is better to fight the Kipchak Khanate now than to wait until the Fengwu Army uses large-scale troops in the south in the future. Estogan Stabbing in the back!
The big battle with the Qincha Khanate and Esdogan is inevitable!
Ye Mingsheng is determined in this battle. He wants to defeat the inflated ambitions of Esdogan and the Kipchak Khanate, and cut off the claws that the Kipchak Khanate has extended to the Great Zhou Dynasty!
This battle will at least prevent the Kipchak Khanate from invading the border again for three to five years, and three to five years will be enough for Ye Mingsheng to completely unify the Zhou Dynasty. By then, he will have completely solved the northern border issue that has troubled the Central Plains court for hundreds of years. when···························
To accomplish this goal, Yuan Song's Western Expeditionary Army alone is not enough. The six divisions under Yuan Song have been fighting for less than half a year. The successive fierce battles with the Luo'an court have basically made each division Nearly 20% of the troops and horses were casualties.
In addition to the casualties, the soldiers were also very tired from the continuous battles. These factors were added together. Ye Mingsheng believed that it was necessary to bring the two newly formed divisions to the battlefield to ensure that the Fengwu Army could Won victory in the battle against the Kipchaks.
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng was not only a little lucky, but the installment plan proposed by Gu Sansi received a very good response from the army. Nearly 70% of the soldiers chose the installment plan, which also greatly reduced the financial pressure.
This also gave Ye Mingsheng the strength and confidence to dare to draw his sword when faced with the provocation of the Kipchak Khanate!
In order to better deal with the Kipchaks, Ye Mingsheng also deliberately loosened the chains around the necks of the Luobi people so that they could spread their blood.
He bit the Kipchak man hard with his big mouth.
Some time ago, the envoy of the Foreign Affairs Bureau in the Kipchak Khanate sent back a message saying that Jamukha actually intended to negotiate peace with the Kipchak people in order to counter his interference in Luobei affairs.
In this regard, Ye Mingsheng asked the Foreign Affairs Bureau to instigate powerful groups among the Luobei people to continuously attack and kill the Kipchak tribes and plunder the Kipchak people's cattle, sheep, and women, in order to thwart and destroy the Luobi people and the Kipchak people. Possible peace talks between...
On the other hand, Ye Mingsheng also asked the Foreign Affairs Bureau to secretly stimulate the fragile balance within Luo Bei by sowing discord, so that Jamuka could not unite the entire Luo Bei.
The Foreign Affairs Bureau had even made preparations to bring Jamukha down, but now Ye Mingsheng decided to give Jamukha a candy slowly and ask him to help him contain some of the Kipchak Khanate's troops.
Just when Ye Mingsheng gradually had an idea in his mind, he heard Ye Cheng reminding him softly:
"Sir, the Director of Planning needs to see you for something!"
After hearing this, Ye Mingsheng also stopped thinking and waved his hands to signal the two maids who were massaging him to leave and let Ji Xian come in to report.
Ji Xian walked into the house and first greeted Ye Mingsheng, then he said:
"Sir, the internal guards have discovered a piece of news. General Ye Tie secretly brought Lin Huaiwu and his family to Dongning!"
Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised when he heard this. Ye Tie, his former captain, had always been the person he felt most at ease with. How could he bring Lin Huaiwu to Liaoyang? What was Ye Tie doing?
After thinking for a while, Ye Mingsheng felt that there was a high probability that there was something hidden in this, and immediately asked Ji Xian again:
"How is the situation of Lin Huaiwu and his family in Fengzhou?"
Previously, Lin Huaiwu was dismissed from his post because of corruption. Ye Mingsheng couldn't bear to kill this old brother who started his career with him, so he sent their family to Fengzhou for confinement... ················
Ji Xian heard this and introduced:
"After my lord Lin Huaiwu and his family arrived in Fengzhou, although their food, clothing, housing and transportation were not as good as before, they were still guaranteed. However, Lin Huaiwu had some hidden diseases after years of fighting, and the weather in Fengzhou was very cold, so he contracted the Lijie disease. I'm sick, and now I've started to use a wheelchair!"
"After General Ye Dong heard about this incident, he specially arranged for a doctor to treat Lin Huaiwu. After Lin Huaiwu got better, he took his family to Dongning and let them live incognito! "
After hearing what Ji Xian said, Ye Mingsheng was in a complicated mood, and the figure of Lin Huaiwu could not help but appear in his mind.
Although Lin Huaiwu was corrupt and perverted the law, and was confiscated from his home and dismissed from his job, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he thought that Lin Huaiwu, who had always been by his side, always strong and fast, was now sitting in a wheelchair.
In addition, Ye Mingsheng can also understand why Ye Tie did this. When their group was not yet prosperous, Ye Tie and Lin Huaiwu had a very good relationship, and they even discussed setting a baby for their children. relative!
Ye Tie, who was born in the green forest, is a very affectionate person. Now that Lin Huaiwu is in such a situation, it seems reasonable for Ye Tie, as a former good brother, to want to help him.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Mingsheng ordered Ji Xian:
"Let them go..."
······························
······························
Guanzhong, a small road in Xingyuan Mansion
Thousands of well-equipped imperial troops were walking quickly on the path leading to the south. They were Shangguan Gong and his party who had fled south.
That day, under the analysis of Niu Cong, the young minister of Dali Temple, Shangguan Changgong had decided to flee south, but he was a little afraid of being charged with abandoning Luo'an.
So Luo An was handed over to Zhao Zhikang and Su
The two of them defended He, while he took five thousand elite forbidden troops, Jia Juan and the most important young emperor Jiang Rui to start his escape south.
At this time, he was in a very tightly protected carriage in the team.
A young man, about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in Chinese clothes, asked a eunuch-looking person beside him:
"Eunuch Zhao, where are you now?"
After hearing this, Eunuch Zhao immediately whispered:
"Your Majesty, we have now reached the vicinity of Xingyuan Mansion, and there are still dozens of miles to go to the city!"
The young man known as His Majesty, who is now the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Rui, nodded when he heard this, then opened the curtains of the carriage and looked at the scenery outside the window with a complicated expression.
More than two years ago, when the emperor's aunt was killed and the entire royal family was massacred by Shangguan Hongyuan, he thought he would be locked in a deep palace for the rest of his life.
But what he never expected was that in just over two years, he would once again embark on the road to escape to Sichuan... ·············
However, unlike the last time when he was accompanied by his mother, queen, emperor, uncle and other princes and ministers, this time he was only surrounded by members of the Shangguan family and soldiers loyal to the Shangguan family.
Perhaps because he hasn't stepped out of the palace for a long time, or because he doesn't know if he will be able to set foot on this land in this life, there is a little nostalgia in Jiang Rui's eyes!
While Jiang Rui was looking at the homeland of Zhou with some nostalgia, a Forbidden Army general guarding the car said coldly:
"It's windy outside, please put down the curtains and do it in the car!"
Hearing that the general wanted to take care of the scenery, Jiang Rui felt a little angry, but in the end he lowered the curtains of the car window as the general asked.
Without the protection of his mother and uncle, Jiang Rui, who had been under house arrest in the palace for more than two years, began to realize that he, the so-called emperor of Zhou Dynasty and the co-ruler of the world, was actually just a puppet to be manipulated!
This also made Jiang Rui lose the arrogance and arrogance of the past, and his whole person seemed to become more restrained and tolerant.
As if seeing Jiang Rui's anger, Eunuch Zhao on the side of the carriage comforted him in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, you are hiding in the abyss now, and the situation will be much better when you get to Sichuan!"
Although this Eunuch Zhao was selected by Shangguan Hongyuan to serve Jiang Rui, as a eunuch, Eunuch Zhao knew in his heart who was the master of their eunuchs, so he sympathized with Jiang Rui, the emperor of Zhou Dynasty, in his heart, and he also sympathized with Jiang Rui on weekdays. Take care of Jiang Rui as much as possible...
Jiang Rui nodded when he heard this, indicating that he understood. After hesitating for a moment, he still asked Eunuch Zhao:
"Eunuch Zhao, are the Fengwu troops under Ye Mingsheng really going to invade Luo'an?"
During the period of being under house arrest in the palace, Jiang Rui was always under strict supervision. Shangguan Hongyuan and Shangguan Changgong, the father and son, did not allow him to have any contact with the outside world.
So even though he realized that Shangguan Changgong was taking him to flee south, it was most likely because Luo An could no longer hold on, but Jiang Rui still couldn't believe the Shangguan family who killed his mother, the emperor's uncle, and the Zhou clan, who seemed to be invincible. , really going to fail!
Eunuch Zhao nodded when he heard this and said in a low voice:
"Yes, Your Majesty! This Fengwu Army is really like a wolf and a tiger, and the Imperial Army cannot stop them at all!"
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Rui's expression immediately gave birth to a look of expectation. Although he had experienced a lot, Jiang Rui was still just a fifteen or sixteen year old child in the final analysis.
Seeing Jiang Rui like this, Eunuch Zhao understood what he was thinking, hesitated for a moment and said:
"Your Majesty, although Ye Mingsheng claims to be a Qing emperor and return power to Your Majesty, in the final analysis he and Shangguan Hongyuan are the same species. Those soldiers in the Fengwu Army only know Marshal Ye, but they don't know about Your Majesty... ······················》
Jiang Rui, whose illusion was shattered by Eunuch Zhao, fell into silence. After a moment, he whispered sadly:
"You should be loyal to the emperor by eating the emperor's salary! How come our ancestors' country has raised such a group of ambitious thieves who don't care about the emperor's kindness!"
After Jiang Rui finished speaking, Eunuch Zhao just wanted to comfort him when he suddenly heard several gunshots coming from outside, and then heard loud shouts of killing in the distance.
On a hill not far away, Ye Dong, who had been lying in wait for a long time, had already noticed the luxuriously decorated carriage holding a dragon flag and being strictly protected.
Ye Dong knew that the current Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Rui, was sitting in that carriage. He couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, and then nodded to the bodyguard beside him.
After receiving Ye Dong's signal, hundreds of soldiers wearing Forbidden Army uniforms and Forbidden Army weapons immediately rushed towards the carriage under the cover of artillery fire.
They wanted to use the arrows of the Forbidden Army to penetrate the young emperor Jiang Rui's thin body, and let everyone in the world know that the emperor died in the hands of the Forbidden Army, and died in the hands of Shangguan Changgong... ···················
(The plot of the Luoan court is about to come to an end. I wonder if you have any suggestions for the war with the Kipchaks?)
