When he came to the study, Ye Cheng presented a more specific battle report to Ye Mingsheng. After reading it carefully, Ye Mingsheng had the same idea as before. He felt that Guo Zhiping had fought well in this battle, without any faults, but there were also no mistakes. What's amazing... Seeing Ye Mingsheng put down the battle report, Ye Cheng found a memorial and said
"Sir, in addition to General Guo's battle report, Director Huo from the Coordination Office also sent you a memorial!" Hearing this, Ye Mingsheng became somewhat interested. He opened the memorial and read it carefully. There are a lot of words in it. At the beginning of the memorial, Huo San first greeted Ye Mingsheng and said hello to Ye Mingsheng, and then introduced to Ye Mingsheng the fighting situation between the Luobei and Kipchaks on the western Elonqin grassland.
According to Huo San, under their instigation, the Luobi people attacked Western Elonqin. Although it was very loud and mobilized a lot of troops, due to the control of the Fengwu Army, Jamukha was named Luobi. The Great Khan ruled the entire Luobei!
But in fact, Jamukha could only beckon his tribe. As for the other two dignitaries of Luobei, Nurjiang and Yinbugele, who controlled the Sauron tribe, they had always disobeyed Jamukha's orders.
This is especially true of Nurjiang. Under the instigation of the Fengwu Army, he killed the former Great Khan Alslen. He thought he could become the new Great Khan... ········But he didn’t expect that the snipe and the clam would fight for the fisherman’s profit. Everything he did was used as a wedding dress for Jamukha. Later, he was almost killed by Jamukha. Fortunately, the Fengwu Army came forward to kill him. He was saved, but this also made him hate Jamuhe to his bones.
And with the secret support of the Fengwu Army, the strength of his subordinates has also recovered, which also makes him once again eyeing Jamuka's position as the Great Khan!
As for Yin Bugele on the other side, as the leader of the Sauron Tribe, although he is not as ambitious as Nurjiang for the position of Great Khan, his core appeal is to keep the Sauron Tribe within Luobei. independent status.
Therefore, Yin Bugler was worried that Jamukha would use this war to consume the strength of the Sauron tribe, so although he ostensibly participated in the attack on the Western Elonqen grassland, he actually did not contribute much!
Even under the investigation of the Central Coordination Office, Yin Bugele had been secretly communicating with Asu, a powerful figure in the Kipchak Khanate, and the two secretly reached a deal.
Asu gave some pastures on the Western Elonqen grassland to Yinbugele in exchange for Yinbugele's hesitation. In this way, the strength of the Sauron tribe under Yinbugele was not only not depleted, but also restored. Got some lush pastures!
At the same time, Yin Bugele can use this as a result of the victory to obtain some benefits from the Fengwu Army. It can be said that he kills three birds with one stone and gets all the benefits!
Although the Luobei people have an absolute advantage over the Kipchaks who stayed behind in Western Elonqen, with these three families having such evil intentions, they cannot fully unleash their strength. Therefore, Asu, the powerful Kipchak in charge of the Western Elonqen grassland, can also reluctantly Support it... Asu's side finally couldn't hold on without reinforcements ten days ago and was forced to abandon a large piece of pasture and shrink its troops!
This in itself is a good thing for the Luobei people, but there is a serious struggle for power within Luobei, and as the Great Khan, Jamukha is not capable enough to command the entire tribe.
Therefore, although Jamukha claimed that he conquered this grassland, Nurjiang did not give him a shit at all. He said that he led his troops to conquer this grassland, so he wanted to occupy all the captured grasslands.
Jamuka naturally couldn't accept it, and the two families began to quarrel. Although there was no fight yet, there were already some bad signs revealed.
Nuerjiang has sent people to contact the Fengwu Army to seek support from the Fengwu Army. He also sent people to contact Yinbugele of the Sauron tribe, hoping to join forces with Yinbugele to destroy Jamuhe and bring Jamuhe to justice. The tribes were divided and jointly took charge of the entire Luobei.
Therefore, Yin Bugler also sent people over to know what the Fengwu Army's attitude was towards this, whether they wanted to continue to maintain the current balance of power within Luo Bei, or to break this balance.
What surprised Ye Mingsheng was that under such circumstances, Jammu Merger did not send people to seek support from the Fengwu Army like Nurjiang did, nor did it send people to Fengwu Army to test its attitude like Yin Bugler did. ··························According to the report of the Coordination Office, Jamuka behaved very calmly as if nothing happened, to which Ye Mingsheng is somewhat interested!
Although he only met Jamukha once as Luo Bei's envoy, Jamukha's shrewdness still left a deep impression on Ye Mingsheng!
Ye Mingsheng believes that Jamukha must know the actions of Nurjiang and Yinbugele. At the same time, he should also know that although Nurjiang and Yinbugele are not as strong as him one-on-one, if these two people unite, , the strength of soldiers and horses is stronger than his!
Logically speaking, Jamukha should be like Nurjiang and Yinbugele and send people to him to try to seek his support and understanding, instead of remaining silent as he is now!
Could it be that Jamukha felt that he could handle the alliance between Nurjiang and Yinbugele, or that he expected that he would not let Nurjiang start a civil war in Luobei?
Ye Mingsheng fell into thinking about this issue. For Ye Mingsheng himself, the core goal of him and the Fengwu Army was not in the grassland but in the south.
Therefore, although the Fengwu Army has now achieved a decisive victory in the battle against the Kipchaks, Ye Mingsheng has no plans to pursue the victory and completely destroy the Kipchak Khanate!
After all, history has proven that even if you can destroy one grassland nation, another grassland nation will be born... With the level of productivity development, it would be difficult for a farming dynasty like the Zhou Dynasty to control the grasslands, so the destruction of the Kipchak Khanate would only leave the Luobei family alone!
Therefore, Ye Mingsheng does not intend to change the strategic decision of keeping the Kipchaks and Luobei people in check with each other!
Although the Kipchak Khanate has suffered a defeat, its internal centripetal force is still strong. Although the main force of the Luobi people has some reservations, its internal disunity prevents it from exerting its strength.
Therefore, from Ye Mingsheng's point of view, the Luobei and Kipchaks now maintain a balance of power that he hopes to see, and Nurjiang's move to start a civil war, whether he succeeds or not, will inevitably lead to the loss of Luobei's strength. This Undoubtedly, it also gave the Kipchak Khanate a chance to breathe, so take advantage of it!
In addition, the current power structure of the Luobei people also facilitates the Fengwu Army to maintain its influence in Luobei, so Ye Mingsheng is happy to see the status quo maintained within Luobei.
However, Ye Mingsheng didn't want to see Jamukha's calmness where he was confident of winning. He wanted to see Jamukha panicking, sending people or even coming directly to him to fight for his forgiveness and understanding!
Therefore, Ye Mingsheng plans to put some pressure on Jamuka and make the Luobi Khan feel threatened and fearful as soon as possible!
However, Ye Mingsheng has to grasp the balance of this. After all, he still does not want Luo Bei's existing power balance to be broken. It is in the interests of the Zhou Dynasty that Luo Bei's internal struggle without breaking up is the best... ····················In addition to the situation on the grassland, Huo San also made a summary to Ye Mingsheng about the situation in the south.
The key point here is the results of Murong Zhengshan's trip to the south of the Yangtze River. After seeing that Lu Jianchao sent important officials with heavy gifts to apologize to him, while planning to quietly let go of the Zhennan Army in Chishan Prefecture, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but curse in secret. An old fox!
Although he disliked Lu Jianchao's actions, Ye Mingsheng did not intend to completely break up with Lu Jianchao over this matter!
After all, Lu Jianchao does not intend to provide any assistance to the Zhennan Army except for returning it to Chishan Prefecture. This is also one of Ye Mingsheng's bottom lines!
Although Xu Zhaojie is a life-and-death enemy, and the Fengwu Army has also achieved considerable victory in several battles with the Zhennan Army, Ye Mingsheng is still a little wary of Xu Zhaojie's military command ability, so Ye Mingsheng's final decision What he doesn't want to see is that Xu Zhaojie, who can fight, and Lu Jianchao, who is rich, join forces to deal with him!
Of course, although he is not prepared to break up with Lu Jianchao over this matter, it does not mean that Ye Mingsheng will pretend not to know about this matter. Ye Mingsheng will definitely use this matter to influence Jiangnan.
This will prevent Jiangnan from making wrong predictions, thinking that the Fengwu Army will not be able to discover their little tricks, or making them feel that the Fengwu Army is weak and can be bullied, so they will continue to support the Zhennan Army with a sense of luck... ·····················In addition to the intelligence on Jiangnan, Huo San also introduced the situation of the Zhennan Army, and sent the Zhennan Army's hidden stakes according to the Coordination Office's deployment. The information came back.
After secretly sneaking back to Shouchun, Xu Zhaojie did not stay in Shouchun, but continued to inspect the troops. Moreover, the Zhennan Army had been mobilized very frequently recently. It seemed that he wanted to take advantage of the Fengwu Army's deployment of troops in the north. What kind of military action is there?
Regarding this intelligence, although the Coordination Office has not yet investigated more detailed information, Ye Mingsheng is not very worried. After all, the Fengwu Army had made preparations for this and also left enough information in Hebei and Anqing. troops!
In addition, although Xu Zhaojie is very capable, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw. With the current strength of the Zhennan Army, it cannot make any big splash!
At the end of the memorial, Huo San also introduced the situation in Sichuan and Shu to Ye Mingsheng. According to him, Shangguan Tingshu had been killed by Song Weijie!
Song Weijie currently calls himself the Grand Governor of Sichuan and Shu, and has begun to integrate the forces of Sichuan and Shu. However, in order to win Ye Mingsheng's support, Song Weijie plans to dedicate Shangguan Tingshu's head to himself, and plans to give himself some beauties, gold and silver wealth!
Ye Mingsheng was a little dumbfounded by this. He felt that the man named Song was very naive. The Shangguan family had been defeated now. Shangguan Tingshu's head was worthless to him. Moreover, what kind of status did he have? He didn't have the beauty, gold and silver wealth that he had. ?
To put it bluntly, with Ye's current position of power, if he wants to be greedy for beauty and pleasure, he can be the groom every night in the wine pool and meat forest!
Of course, although Ye Mingsheng thinks so, Ye Mingsheng still plans to show some kindness to Comrade Xiao Song!
After all, the food has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the princes in the south have to be dealt with one by one. These people are like grasshoppers after autumn, and they won't be around for long... ··············································· ·······································Yi Jing, Huo Mansion is in Ye While Ming Sheng was reading Huo San's memorial, Huo San was listening to the reports from Yang Li, who was in charge of hundreds of households under his command.
"Director, Mr. Xia Lianyang, the chief minister of the Inspectorate, plans to hand Zhao Shen's family into the hands of Deputy Director Wang!" After hearing the news, Huo San's expression changed slightly. After thinking for a while, he said: "If I If I remember correctly, isn't this Xia Lianyang one of the eldest madam?" Yang Li nodded and said, "Yes, this Xia Lianyang secretly took refuge in the eldest madam, and the eldest madam asked him to spy on Murong Hui!" Upon hearing this, Huo Sanze was like He was even more puzzled and said: "In that case, why did he hand this matter over to Wang Xuecheng?" Facing Huo San's inquiry, Yang Li hesitated and said, "Director, maybe this Xia Lianyang doesn't know the truth of the matter. Here!" Huo San said in a deep voice: "But it was the eldest lady who asked us to do this!" Yang Li became silent after hearing this, and Huo San was also very confused. He has a close relationship with the eldest lady, and this matter is also The eldest lady arranged for him to do it, so I don’t understand why the eldest lady came to do it for herself and handed this matter over to Wang Xuecheng?
After thinking for a moment, Huo San said in a deep voice: "How is Zhao Shen now?" Yang Li said without thinking: "According to your instructions, we did not kill him to give him a breath, but we also ensured that he said I can't speak or write!" Huo San nodded after hearing this and continued: "In this case, Yang Li, please investigate this Xia Lianyang for me and see if there is anyone else behind him! I always feel that this matter is not right. Simple!"
"Director, I understand. I promise to kill this Xia Lianyang!" After Yang Li hesitated for a moment, he suggested: "But I feel that regarding this matter, sir, you should contact the eldest lady. See if there is any misunderstanding in this?" Huo San narrowed his eyes when he heard this and said coldly: "Are you teaching me how to do things?" Seeing this, Yang Li immediately denied it and said: "I don't dare to do it in a humble position, I don't dare in a humble position, I just... ······························"
