Regarding Ye Pengchao's answer, Li Zhengyong looked solemn and seemed to be dissatisfied, and then asked again: "In Marshal Ye's eyes, the credit for seizing the Han River and the credit for seizing the frontline military power is the most important..." ·······························································································································································································································································"Ye Pengchao said with a smile: "General Li, I'm not a roundworm in the commander-in-chief's belly, so how can I know? What is the commander-in-chief thinking?" At this point, Ye Pengchao paused for a moment, and then said meaningfully to Li Zhengyong: "I don't know what you are like in the Jingchu Army, but in our Fengwu Army, it is not the same to make arbitrary assumptions. A good thing!" Feeling the warning in Ye Pengchao's words, Li Zhengyong's face undoubtedly became more gloomy, but Ye Pengchao turned a blind eye to it and remained very calm.
Li Zhengyong and Duan Zhibao, for their own prosperity and wealth, chose to be a seller for glory. There is no doubt that they are both full-fledged careerists!
To deal with such ambitious people, we must not just win over them with kindness, but also need to establish authority to let them know the rules. Now that Fengwu Army has sent troops as a backer, Ye Pengchao is fully confident to establish rules for Li Zhengyong!
At this time, Li Zhengyong was constantly weighing the pros and cons. When Ye Pengchao roped him in before, although he did not directly promise him to be the commander on behalf of the Fengwu Army, he also hinted that Marshal Ye would entrust him with important tasks.
In this regard, Li Zhengyong also preconceived the idea that he had taken such a big risk for the Fengwu Army. When the matter was successful, the Fengwu Army naturally believed that the Fengwu Army should reward himself with the position of commander... ······················No one expected that Duan Zhibao would appear out of thin air!
Colleague Li Zhengyong knew that Duan Zhibao had always been very scheming and the type of person who would never let go of the rabbit before he saw the rabbit. But now that he had been persuaded by Fengwu Army, there was no doubt that Fengwu Army had done something to Duan Zhibao. Promise, otherwise this person's character will definitely not be used by Fengwu Army!
And the most important point is that Duan Zhibao, the commander of the Jingchu Army, has much higher prestige in the army than him. If Duan Zhibao surrenders to the Fengwu Army and still holds the main force of the Jingchu Army in Hezhou.
So although his contribution to the Fengwu Army was smaller than that of his own capture of Hanyang, his value and role to the Fengwu Army was much higher than that of himself!
There is only one position for the commander! So after the incident is completed, how will Feng Wujun choose between himself and Duan Zhibao?
Although Ye Pengchao said in front of him at this time that Marshal Ye would give fair rewards and punishments and make decisions based on merit, Li Zhengyong's intuition and political sense from decades of military service told him that Ye Mingsheng would choose Duan Zhibao!
Thinking of this, Li Zhengyong felt very balanced in his heart, and even had the idea of giving up. However, his reason made Li Zhengyong understand that there seemed to be no turning back for him now... ·········Not to mention the news that he and the Fengwu Army were plotting a coup, once Sun Chenggong knew about it, Sun Chenggong’s character would definitely kill him, Li Zhengyong, in thousands of pieces!
Judging from the current situation, the Jingchu Army itself cannot defeat the Fengwu Army, and the main force of the Jingchu Army is still attacking Hezhou, which is occupied by the Zhennan Army. Jingchu Province is very empty of troops in Hanyang and its surrounding areas. Facing Fengwu Army, A sudden attack by the armed forces will most likely be difficult to resist.
Not to mention the existence of Duan Zhibao and other internal agents that he didn't know about. Even if he now regrets reporting to Sun Chenggong to prepare Sun Chenggong for the Fengwu Army's surprise attack, Li Zhengyong doesn't think Sun Chenggong can defend Jingchu!
Sun Chenggong cannot defend Jingchu, and if he rebels, he will inevitably be liquidated by the Fengwu Army, so rebelling is definitely not an option!
Thinking of this, Li Zhengyong undoubtedly felt even more uncomfortable. Could it be that he could only bear this breath?
Seeing the changes in Li Zhengyong's face, Ye Pengchao could probably guess some of what he was thinking. A faint smile couldn't help but appear on his face. He immediately took out a banknote from his arms and placed it on Li Zhengyong's face. He said in front of him: "Here are the 10,000 taels of silver notes from Dadongsheng Ticket Number under our Fengwu Army. If you accept the votes but don't recognize the person, we will meet you at the six branch offices of Yijing, Dongning, Yujing, Licheng, Jinyang, and Anqing." The vote has been honored!”
"This is what Marshal Ye specially approved for you, General Li, after he knew that you, General Li, were yearning for the Fengwu Army! Please accept it, General Li..." ···········"The way to dominate is to use both kindness and power, both soft and hard. Now that Li Zhengyong has realized that the Fengwu Army is going to give him a stick, it is natural to give him a carrot to stabilize him. Live him so that he can continue to capture Hanyang for the Fengwu Army!
Seeing the banknote of ten thousand taels in front of him, Li Zhengyong seemed to have seen the white money in front of him, but there was a chill in his heart!
He knew that Fengwu Army would never give him any money for no reason. The reason why he gave him 10,000 taels of silver now was because he had expected it. Fengwu Army really wanted to break his promise and give this position to Duan Zhibao. What a bastard!
Thinking of this, Li Zhengyong couldn't help but drive Li Zhengyong. He raised his head and looked at Ye Pengchao and said coldly: "Could it be that Ye Baihu wants to use these small favors to block my mouth, Mr. Li, and make me forget the promise you made, Ye Baihu?" What am I?" Seeing that Li Zhengyong was still pestering him, Ye Pengchao also said calmly: "General Li, I am just a messenger. It is not up to me to decide whether things will work or not. If you don't want to, forget it!" After saying that, Ye Pengchao was not used to it either. Looking at him, he picked up the banknote and was about to say goodbye and leave. Seeing Ye Pengchao leaving so neatly, Li Zhengyong was dumbfounded. He just wanted to mess around and gain more benefits for himself. He didn't really want to fight with Fengwu. The army parted ways... So seeing Ye Pengchao about to leave the room, Li Zhengyong was uneasy and quickly called him Ye Pengchao said:
"Ye Baihu, stay!" Seeing that Li Zhengyong had indeed stopped him, Ye Pengchao's face remained expressionless, but he smiled proudly in his heart. He knew that with the backing of the Fengwu Army, Li Zhengyong did not dare to fall out with him. !
Turning around, Ye Pengchao asked with a stern face, pretending not to know: "General Li, what else do you have to do?" Although he could tell that Ye Pengchao was deliberately teasing him, the situation was stronger than the others, so Li Zhengyong had no choice but to stand up and ask him. Ye Pengchao walked over and said: "Ye Baihu, don't be anxious. Li just said something indiscriminately. I hope Ye Baihu will be more considerate!" Seeing that Li Zhengyong had given in, Ye Pengchao also felt that he would have to rely on Li Zhengyong for future actions, so he gave it to him. He walked down the steps and said with a smile: "I heard that General Li is a man who likes romance?" Li Zhengyong was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't know what Ye Pengchao wanted to say. When he was thinking about it, he saw Ye Pengchao saying something mysterious: "Sun Chenggong's favorite concubine, Mrs. Zhao, is the most beautiful woman in Jingchu. If you can be in love with her, you will be as charming as a ghost!"
"General Li, you are a famous hero in Jingchu. Naturally, a beauty like this should accompany an upright hero like you..." ··········" As soon as these words came out, Li Zhengyong immediately understood what Ye Pengchao meant. Thinking of Zhao's graceful demeanor, Li Zhengyong couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
As Ye Pengchao said just now, his biggest hobby in life is beauty, and he has been coveting Zhao for a long time, who is known as the most beautiful woman in Jingchu. However, she is restricted by the big boss Sun Chenggong, so Li Zhengyong can only be Meet Zhao in a dream!
Thinking of Mrs. Zhao's graceful expression of joy under the handwriting K, Li Zhengyong's expression immediately became excited. He also found a new goal in life besides promotion and wealth!
Taking a deep breath, Li Zhengyong also said to Ye Pengchao in a deep voice: "Li is not talented. I am willing to follow Marshal Ye to the death and do my best!" As soon as these words came out, Ye Pengchao also had a satisfied smile on his face, and then he said what he had just said The banknote was handed to Li Zhengyong, and the two immediately sat back down to discuss the specific details!
"General Li, the day after tomorrow at the second watch, our people will blow up the gunpowder magazine in the city and assassinate the senior officials of the Jingchu Army in the city to create chaos in the city. After you get the signal, you will immediately use Sun Hui and Lu Hu to rebel to protect Sun Chenggong. Lead your troops to Sun Chenggong’s residence!”
"Our people will cooperate with you to kill Sun Chenggong. Once Sun Chenggong is killed, you can eliminate the remnants of Lu Hu and Sun Hui... ··········”······································ ···························In the Kipchak military camp outside Dagu County, the Kipchaks who had just rushed thousands of miles to kill were packing their luggage and getting ready. leave.
Seeing this scene, the Kipchak general Kurbanjan hesitated, but still said to the serious-looking Kipchak Khan Esdogan in front of him: "Khan, do we really want to leave? How about I take the Tiger Division with me? Let the warriors try to attack the city again?" Faced with Kurbanjiang's suggestion, Esdogan sighed and shook his head and said: "The Fengwu Army has been prepared for a long time, and the artillery has the advantage of defending the city! Even if all the Tiger Division is defeated, it will be difficult to win the city!" Kurbanjiang subconsciously wanted to defend after hearing this, but after thinking about it, he wisely kept his mouth shut. After all, what Esdogan said was right.
In the past two days, the warriors of the Kipchak Tiger Division launched an attack on Dagu County with courage and determination that were not afraid of death. After paying thousands of casualties, they finally filled up the three roads. The big trench reached the gates of Dagu County.
However, facing the well-prepared Fengwu army, the Kipchaks had no advantage in strength. Although they carried artillery, they did not carry other siege equipment.
Therefore, although the Kipchak Tiger Division performed very bravely and showed their demeanor as the most elite force of Kipchak, it was still difficult to shake the Fengwu Army's defense in Dagu County... ············Seeing that the warriors of the Tiger Division fell one after another and died on the way to charge to Dagu County, the Fengwu Army was still able to defend Dagu County with ease. Although An was very depressed and full of frustration, he had to accept that his strategy of catching the thief first was close to failure!
Estogan knew that he could not continue to attack Dagu County. Although the soldiers of the Tiger Division were brave and fearless, as their Great Khan, he could not waste their precious lives on this city that he could not possibly attack!
Therefore, Esdogan knew that the decision to give up the attack on Dagu County would put his already questioned prestige even more at risk, but he still made the decision to give up!
Although he made the decision to give up the attack on Dagu County, this does not mean that Esdogan gave up fighting Ye Mingsheng to the end. This raid was already related to the national destiny of the Kipchak Khanate!
If this raid fails, then the Kipchak Khanate will undoubtedly turn from prosperity to decline, so Esdogan will never choose to give up until the last moment!
Although he still couldn't see Ye Mingsheng, through the series of decisions made by Fengwu Army, Esdogan felt Ye Mingsheng's determination and will!
He understood that this young General Zhou was very strong and would never back down in the face of challenges and threats, and this was considered by Esdogan as something he could take advantage of... ·············As nomadic people on the grassland, the Kipchaks who grew up on horseback are undoubtedly good at field battles. They like to use their speed and impact. Destroy your opponents and use their mounted archery to play with them like a cat catching a mouse, playing with them in the palm of your hand!
This is what they are good at, instead of attacking the city against the artillery of the Fengwu Army like now!
So what Esdogan has to do now is to lure the snake out of the hole. He wants to use Ye Mingsheng's strength and pride to rob Yunbing crazily, in order to create killings and use the suffering of the people of Great Zhou to anger Ye Mingsheng and make Ye Mingsheng and The Fengwu Army came out of their turtle shells!
This trick may be different for other people, but Esdogan believes that it will be very effective for Ye Mingsheng. After all, this is a man who is so confident that he is even a little arrogant!
He will never sit back and watch the suffering of the subjects under his rule and allow them to be killed and tortured by him. He will definitely lead the Fengwu Army to come out and stand under the sun and fight to the death with him. At that time, Esdogan believes that he is the master All the time!
Esdoan secretly swore in his heart that once Ye Mingsheng gave him such a precious opportunity, he would definitely make Ye Mingsheng pay the price of his pride with blood!
He wants Ye Mingsheng to regret his decision and become enemies with the Khanate...
