Listening to Jingxuan's voice, Ye Mingsheng and Pei Zhixiu also walked into the room immediately. Looking at Jingxuan who was slightly weak on the bed, Ye Mingsheng asked with a smile: "How is Jingxuan feeling? Is he okay?" Jingxuan He nodded obediently and said: "Fortunately, I'm just a little tired...and I want to eat toffee!" After saying this, Jingxuan Looking at Ye Mingsheng with some embarrassment and some expectancy, feeling the eyes of his youngest son, Ye Mingsheng burst into laughter, and the worries in his heart also dissipated a lot. After all, thinking about eating means that the problem is not big.
Some time ago, the Second General Administration of Manufacturing developed toffee. Compared with traditional candies, toffee has a fuller milky flavor. Once it was launched, it attracted everyone's liking.
Because the technology is relatively cumbersome, the current production of toffee is not high. Although Dadongsheng Company has tried its best to expand production capacity and adopted measures to limit the number and purchase of toffee, the supply of toffee still exceeds demand. As soon as it is put on the shelves, it will be sold immediately. Being bought by others, they are often sold out.
However, the people at the Second General Administration of Manufacturing are also very sensible. There is a constant supply of toffee in Ye Mansion, and new ones are often sent over before the new ones are finished.
Although the supply is constant, it is not easy for Jingxuan to eat toffee! I saw Pei Zhixiu on the side saying seriously: "Jingxuan candy is not a good thing. If you eat too much, it will cause problems with your teeth. You already ate one piece yesterday, and you have already promised your mother that when you arrive, Did Jinyang just eat a piece?" After listening to Pei Zhixiu's words, Jingxuan's originally expectant eyes immediately darkened, and he looked very pitiful with his head lowered... ··········Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't bear to say, "Zhixiu, just give him a piece. Jingxuan is still seriously ill and eating a piece of candy can replenish his strength!" Chu Jingxuan's eyes lit up again, and just when Pei Zhixiu was about to say something, Ye Mingsheng continued: "But when you go to Jinyang, you are not allowed to eat the toffee, Jingxuan! How about that? Is that okay?" Jingxuan was entangled after listening to Ye Mingsheng's words. Just when Ye Mingsheng thought he would agree, Jingxuan shook his head and said seriously: "Then daddy, I'd better take that toffee Let's stay in Jinyang to eat!" This answer surprised Ye Mingsheng, but Pei Zhixiu on the side showed a smile, touched Jingxuan's head and said: "Jingxuan is good! When we get to Jinyang, mother-in-law. Give me candy!" Ye Mingsheng nodded secretly to Jingxuan's ability to restrain himself in the face of temptation, and then spent a pleasant parent-child time.
However, beauty is short-lived after all. After burning incense, Ye Cheng appeared at the door of the room. Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng understood that something had happened, and it seemed to be a very troublesome thing. Otherwise, Ye Cheng would not be here at this time. Disturb yourself... , and then he also pointed at Ye Mingsheng, slightly bowing his forehead, and then took Jing Xuan’s little hand and said,
"Daddy is going to do something. Say goodbye to daddy!" Jingxuan looked at Ye Mingsheng with some nostalgia when he heard this, but he still said to Ye Mingsheng obediently: "Goodbye, daddy!" He kissed Pei Zhixiu gently. With red lips, Ye Mingsheng smiled and waved goodbye to Jingxuan, then turned and left the room.
As soon as Ye Mingsheng walked out of the room, Ye Cheng at the door whispered to Ye Mingsheng: "Sir, something big has happened! Two tiger divisions led by Estoan are currently coming towards us. The Coordination Office Peng Le of Qianhu has come to the study to report the specific situation to you!" Ye Mingsheng was also very surprised when these words came out, but he quickly realized the seriousness of the matter and walked quickly towards the study.
Soon Ye Mingsheng came to the study. After seeing the ceremony, Peng Le immediately said to Ye Mingsheng seriously: "Please ask the commander to move to Jinyang immediately! Estogan led two tigers at Yinshi yesterday. The division set off from Jincheng and headed towards Yunbing. Our coordination office suspects that Esdogan’s target is you, the commander!" Although he had heard Ye Cheng’s report, Ye Mingsheng was still very surprised when he heard the news. After calming down, he said to Peng Le in a deep voice;
"Don't be anxious, tell me carefully what the situation is..." Peng Le organized a speech and said: "The commander-in-chief according to our general According to the news conveyed by the hidden stakes bribed by the mediator, seven nights ago, without any warning, Esdogan suddenly led two tiger divisions to leave the garrison in Jincheng and gallop towards the east!"
"At the same time, some secret agents of our Coordination Office in the Kipchak Army have lost contact. Our Coordination Office suspects that they may have been exposed!"
"It is precisely because we know that there are our spies inside that Esdogan acted so suddenly. And judging from the direction Estogan is going, they are most likely coming towards Yunling, so we The Coordination Office concluded that Esdogan's target is you, the Commander-in-Chief!" After hearing Peng Le's analysis, Ye Mingsheng thought for a moment and nodded, feeling that the Coordination Office's analysis was very reasonable.
Then Ye Mingsheng looked at the map and started thinking. Looking at Ye Mingsheng who was silent, Peng Le hesitated for a moment but couldn't help admonishing: "The Tiger Division of the Commander-in-Chief Kipchak Khanate is the most powerful person in the Kipchak Khanate." Elite soldiers and horses, this time Esdogan personally led two tiger divisions with more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, I think our department should stay away from the edge for the time being!"
"Dago County is just a county town, and the city defense facilities are not perfect. Please lead the commander-in-chief to move to Jinyang! Jinyang is a majestic city in the world. Even if the army of the Kipchak Khanate comes, I can guarantee your safety, commander-in-chief. Yu..." Looking at Peng Le with a sincere face, Ye Mingsheng asked with a smile:
"You said Esdogan left Jincheng seven days ago?" Hearing Ye Mingsheng's question, Peng Le lowered his head in shame and said, "Yes! I didn't convey the news back in time, so I ask you to punish me, Marshal! "Ye Mingsheng shook his head and did not punish Peng Le, but asked: "Is it true that I heard that the Kipchak Tiger Division can travel hundreds of miles a day?" Peng Le thought for a moment and said, "The soldiers and horses of the Kipchak Tiger Division, They are all the best war horses in the Kipchak Khanate. One person and two people can ride and ride without rest, and they can travel a hundred miles a day in a short distance. However, if they run a long distance, their speed cannot reach a hundred miles a day. But the speed should be about seventy or eighty miles a day!" Ye Mingsheng nodded when he heard this and said: "So now Estoan and his two tiger divisions are about to enter the territory of Yunbin even if they have not yet entered it. Yunbin has entered the territory!" Peng Le nodded solemnly and said: "That's indeed the case, so I asked the commander-in-chief to lead his troops to move to Jinyang!" Listening to Peng Le's answer, Ye Mingsheng also had an answer in his heart. He replied with a calm expression: "Who is this Estogan? Do you want me to avoid his edge?"
"Since he wants to come and compete with me, I will give him this chance! Let him see how he died... ············" As soon as Ye Mingsheng said this, Peng Le immediately knelt down and persuaded Ye Mingsheng: "Commander, Dagu County is a county town with low walls and defensive facilities. It’s not perfect either, and besides, the 13th Division and the 14th Division are both newly formed units that have not experienced actual combat yet!”
"Commander, how can you take such a risk if your daughter's son cannot sit down?"
"If you make a mistake, Commander-in-Chief, the Fengwu Army will be doomed! Commander, please think twice!" Looking at Pen Le's anxious face, Ye Mingsheng smiled and helped him up from the ground and said, "You Wrong, I stayed in Dagu because I didn’t want to take risks, and it’s dangerous to go to Jinyang at this time!” After speaking, Ye Mingsheng pointed to the heavy rain outside the window and said:,
"It's a three-hundred-mile road from Dagu County to Jinyang. At the current speed of our army's march, it will take at least four or five days. It's also raining on the road, and it's muddy and difficult to walk on. It will take at least two more days. The enemy may catch up with us in six or seven days!" As soon as these words came out, Peng Le was stunned and realized that he had neglected this problem. Just when he was thinking about this problem, Ye Mingsheng General Ye Cheng was asked to come with the army. Guo Zhiping, Liu Zhi, Ye Fu and other generals called over.
Under Ye Mingsheng's order, these people soon came to Ye Mingsheng's study. Everyone was shocked when they heard the news that Esdoan led two tiger divisions to kill... ···············Ye Mingsheng was not in a hurry to ask everyone what they thought. After all, these generals should be given sufficient rest time, and Ye Mingsheng studied the ideas on the sand table. The situation between ourselves and the enemy.
The Fengwu Army's original strategic focus on dealing with the Kipchak Khanate was a drag-and-drop strategy. After all, it is the Kipchak Khanate, not the Fengwu Army, that is being harassed by the Luobi!
As for the Fengwu Army, they had already invaded Luo'an and collected a large amount of gold, silver, goods, and food supplies from the Shangguan family and their party members.
Therefore, except for some artillery shells and firearms that need to be supplied from the rear, the reliance on logistics for other items has been greatly reduced, which has also greatly reduced the logistics pressure on the Fengwu Army.
At the same time, the main force of the Fengwu Army under Yuan Song was very tired after half a year of fighting, and needed some rest and replenishment to replenish its troops and recover from depreciation.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Ye Mingsheng was not in a hurry to start a war with the Kipchak Khanate immediately, and now Esdogan's move undoubtedly terminated the Fengwu Army's plan.
Although they were enemies, Ye Mingsheng had to praise Esdogan's courage and wisdom. After all, not everyone has the courage to run for more than a thousand miles!
Although it is not too early for the report from the Coordination Office, it is not too late either, which gives him some preparation time. But to be honest, if it had not been reported by the Coordination Office, Ye Mingsheng himself would not have thought that Estogan would so crazy!
If that time really comes, and Estogan kills him before he realizes it, he may really be defeated and die... ···········Seeing that everyone was almost thinking, Ye Mingsheng asked: "You can speak freely and tell me what you think!" After Ye Mingsheng finished speaking, he followed. Guo Zhiping, who went on the expedition with Ye Mingsheng, couldn't wait to stand up. As the former commander of the Third Army of the Fengwu Army and now the deputy chief of staff, Guo Zhiping has been seeking to return to the field force.
So this time he followed Ye Mingsheng to the west, and he was determined to perform well and let Ye Mingsheng see his talent!
Guo Zhiping, who stood up, immediately said: "The main purpose of a general's attack like Esdogan is to make a sudden attack. He will catch you by surprise when you are unprepared, but if our army is prepared, then The threat of such a surprise attack will be greatly reduced!"
"Commander, I estimate that the enemy will arrive in three days at the earliest. Three days is enough for our army to deploy in Dagu County!"
"In addition, there is a battalion of cavalry from the Third Division in Jinyang. If we can make good use of this battalion of cavalry, we can interfere with the enemy!"
"Although the Kipchak Tiger Division is elite and powerful, after running for more than a thousand miles, they are still exhausted. Moreover, I concluded that in order to pursue the speed of travel, the enemy will not carry too many baggage artillery, so I want to capture the big valley guarded by our army. The county can be said to be an idiot's dream..." Ye Mingsheng heard that Guo Zhiping's opinions coincided with his own. He nodded slightly and watched Ye Mingsheng express his approval to Guo Zhiping's opinion. Liu Zhi and Ye Fu, who originally wanted to persuade Ye Mingsheng to avoid Estogan and led his troops to Jinyang, looked at each other and immediately shut their mouths. .
Seeing that the most experienced Guo Zhiping agreed with him, and Liu Zhi and Ye Fu had no different opinions, Ye Mingsheng immediately decided to stick to the strategy of Dagu County!
Ye Mingsheng immediately issued an order: "Guo Zhiping, I temporarily appoint you as the commander-in-chief of Jinyang. You can immediately go to your post and mobilize all the troops and horses in Jinyang to harass the enemy from the rear!" After hearing Ye Mingsheng's order, he had already Guo Zhiping, who was extremely hungry and thirsty, immediately accepted the order very excitedly: "Commander, obey your order! I, Guo Zhiping, will never let the enemy army live in peace!" After giving the order to Guo Zhiping, Ye Mingsheng looked at Liu Zhi , Ye Fu and the other two ordered: "You two immediately lead the soldiers to strengthen the city defense and dig three trenches around the county seat as soon as possible. The trenches must also be filled with spikes to prevent the enemy cavalry from charging into the city!"
"In addition, the protection of gunpowder must be done well. It looks like the rain will continue for a few days. We must ensure that the gunpowder does not get wet as much as possible!"
"Yes!" The two of them responded in unison: After the next three people finished giving orders, Ye Mingsheng called the messenger and gave the most important order.
"Send an order to Yuan Song so that he can lead his troops to attack Yongliang. Be sure to kill all these Kipchak barbarians. I, Mr. Ye, will let this grandson Estogan steal all the rice this time..." ·························"
