The next day, Ye Mansion’s study room
Ye Mingsheng was looking attentively at the battle plan against Jamuka's headquarters given by the Third Army Commander Xun Ke!
At present, Ibugele has entered Youyan. According to the current arrangement, he will arrive in Yijing in three days to pay tribute to himself, so the dispatch of troops to the grassland has entered the final stage of preparation... ·············
A few days ago, Ye Mingsheng held a meeting at the staff headquarters with Chief of Staff Zhao Han, Yuan Song, Xun Ke, Chen Chuanwu and others. At the meeting, Xun Ke's plan to lead the Third Army to participate in the war was basically confirmed!
At the same time, because Ye Mingsheng was transferred to Shen Quan for another appointment, the meeting also approved the appointment of Zheng Jinshan as the general of the 4th Division and Wang Guang as the general of the 14th Division.
Zheng Jinshan was a former general of the Youyan Army. He surrendered to the Fengwu Army after the Battle of Yijing. Although he was not an old man who joined the Fengwu Army from the beginning, after joining the Fengwu Army, Zheng Jinshan became He also behaves very well. While he has made many military exploits, he is also very loyal and reliable!
In fact, according to Zheng Jinshan's achievements, he could have been promoted to general before, but because he was a reduced general, he was transferred to the deputy general of the Fourth Division!
Therefore, this time Ye Mingsheng transferred Shen Quan to another appointment, and Zheng Jinshan was also the logical successor to the position of general of the Fourth Division!
As for Wang Guang, he was a commander of the original 14th Division, because he performed well during the previous Ye Baode Rebellion and he was an old man of the Fengwu Army with upright roots and was very loyal and reliable politically.
In addition, General Ye Fu of the 14th Division was demoted to a commoner, and some officers of the 14th Division who were implicated by Ye Fu were demoted or transferred away. Therefore, Ye Mingsheng also promoted Wang Guang to the rank of 10th Division. General of the Fourth Division, as a reward for Wang Guang's outstanding performance in Ye Baode's rebellion...
Although these appointments were approved, Third Army Commander Xun Ke and Chief of Staff Zhao Han had different views on how to deal with Jamuka!
Because the natural conditions in Mobei are very harsh and Jamuka's troops lack food and clothing, Jamuka's troops can only harass Ibugele's tribe on the Elonqen grassland in order to obtain supplies and maintain their strength!
Therefore, Xunke's idea is to be patient and not to focus on siege. As long as it is ensured that Jamukha cannot obtain supplies from the Erunqen grassland, Jamuka's strength in Mobei will gradually weaken. The troops will be defeated without a fight!
As the chief of staff, Zhao Han believed that the Third Army spent tens of thousands of taels of silver every day on the grassland, and the government's finances were now so tight. According to Xun Ke's idea of fighting a protracted war and a war of attrition, once the Third Army If the military war drags on for too long, it will become a bottomless pit and drag down the finances of the imperial court!
Therefore, Zhao Han did not agree with Xun Ke's approach. He advocated fighting the main force of Jamuka's headquarters as soon as possible and ending the battle as quickly as possible!
Regarding the implementation of the specific plan, Zhao Han believed that since Jamukha was harassing Ibugele’s troops in order to obtain supplies, he could deliberately sell a flaw to lure Jamukha and then kill him... ·············
Xun Ke also had a negative attitude towards Zhao Han's plan. He believed that Jamukha was not a fool, and there were many people in the Luobei tribe who were inextricably linked to Jamukha. It was precisely because of the existence of these people that Only then did Jamuka succeed in repeatedly attacking Ibugele's troops!
Therefore, the news that the third army entered the grassland could not be hidden from Jamuka at all. Even if the bait was released by then, Jamuka would never bite the hook!
Xun Ke believes that it will be very difficult to find traces of Jamuka's headquarters in the vast Gobi desert. If you rush for success, you will probably fail!
Therefore, Xun Ke believed that his idea was correct. He should first besiege the Jamukha headquarters to ensure that the Jamuka headquarters would not receive supplies. By then, conflicts and disputes would arise within the Jamuka headquarters due to the shortage of resources. problem, and this is a good opportunity to reconcile differences!
Regarding the differences between Xun Ke and Zhao Han, Ye Mingsheng is inclined to Xun Ke from a military perspective, but the consumption issue mentioned by Zhao Han cannot be ignored!
exhaust
Although Cui Shao and other civilian officials did not participate in this combat meeting due to the internal tradition of the Fengwu Army, Cui Shao and Zhang Juning also expressed their opinions to Ye Mingsheng in private.
They believe that the current financial burden on the imperial court is very large, so it is best not to delay the Third Army's march north to the grassland this time, otherwise it may trigger a series of financial crises... ···········
Although Ye Mingsheng agreed with Xun Ke's military strategy from a military perspective, the financial burden was also a factor that Ye Mingsheng had to consider.
Therefore, Ye Mingsheng also hopes that Xun Ke can understand the current financial pressure of the court and make some adjustments and deployments to the combat plan to reduce expenses as much as possible on the basis of annihilating Jamuka's headquarters.
After communicating and talking with Ye Mingsheng, Xun Ke thought about it for three days, and then handed Ye Mingsheng the current battle plan!
In the latest battle plan, Xun Ke still maintained the battle strategy of focusing on siege and attacking the heart, but he added a lot of details in the details of the strategy!
First of all, the first point is that Xun Ke believes that we should intensify the internal division of Jamuka's troops and try to buy Jamuka's generals with beautiful women!
Xun Ke felt that judging from Jamuka's various actions, this person was very suspicious, so it would be best to directly bribe Jamuka's subordinates to cooperate inside and outside!
But even if you can't directly bribe Jamukha's subordinates, you can still trigger Jamukha's suspicious character, alienate Jamukha and his subordinates, and increase his internal conflicts!
Secondly, Xun Ke believes that as long as the plan is implemented well enough and enough pressure is exerted on Jamukha both externally and internally, Jamukha will realize that continuing to shrink in Mobei is a chronic suicide... ············
So with Jamuka's character as a desperado, he will definitely not sit back and wait for death, and slowly wait for death in the vast Gobi desert in Mobei. He will definitely fight hard while he still has the strength in his hands to fight for his life. A glimmer of hope and a bloody path!
In this way, there is no need for the military army to find him, Jamukha will take the initiative to seek a decisive battle!
As for the logistical supply issue, Xunke believed that the destruction of Jamuka's headquarters was Ibugele's request, so the Luobei people must bear the military supplies of the Fengwu Army for this!
Even if they cannot bear all of it, they must bear most of it. This is their unshirkable obligation!
After all, if the Fengwu Army does not send troops, Ibugele's headquarters will continue to be harassed by Jamuhe's troops, and Ibugele's headquarters will bear a greater price!
At the end of the battle plan, Xun Ke said that as long as the commander trusts him, grants him the power to act expediently, and allows the Foreign Affairs Department and the Coordination Office to cooperate with his work, he can guarantee that he can return in triumph in up to three months. Capture the leader of the thief Jamuhe alive to Ye Mingsheng!
After carefully reading Xun Ke's new combat strategy, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but nodded secretly. This Xun Ke was indeed worthy of the title of a wise general in the army. He was indeed resourceful and had planned Jamuhe to the core!
After reading Xun Ke's battle plan, Ye Mingsheng seemed to be able to see Jamuka appearing in Yi Jing again!
However, unlike the last time Jamukha went to Yi Jing as the envoy of Luo Bei, this time Jamukha will sit in the prison car with despair, waiting for the final judgment in his life... ···············
As for the issue of logistical supplies, Su Yi and Gao Shen had actually talked to Yibugele before. Yibugele said that the Luobei tribe had experienced years of turmoil and was now very poor, so he was willing to bear at most 30% of the military supplies. !
But Ye Mingsheng now believes that 30% is not enough at all, and at least 50% is needed!
This time, I am helping you, Yibugele, the great Khan of Luobei, to eliminate hidden dangers in Luobei. I have already taken good care of you by not allowing you, Yibugele, to contribute military expenses. It is your minimum responsibility to ask you to be responsible for half of the military supplies!
After pondering for a while, Ye Mingsheng gave the final instructions on Xun Ke's plan, and then called Ye Cheng over and said:
"Send this memorial to the General Staff for execution!"
"yes!"
After receiving the memorial, Ye Cheng reported to Ye Mingsheng:
"Sir, Mr. Zhang Zhiwen, the Chief Envoy of Youyan, is already waiting outside!"
Ye Mingsheng asked with some surprise:
"When did he come?"
"About a stick of incense, I saw that Marshal you were reviewing Commander Xun's memorial, so I asked Mr. Zhang to wait for a while!"
Listening to Ye Cheng's explanation, Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly and then ordered:
"Let him come in, I just want to see him..."
··························
··························
Half an hour later, Zhang Zhiwen, who was in a complicated mood, slowly walked out of the Ye Mansion. Looking at the snowflakes that had begun to fall in the sky at an unknown time, a heartfelt wry smile appeared on the face of the newly appointed Chief Envoy of Youyan!
Ever since he lost to Murong Yuliang in the competition for the Chief Envoy of Hebei and Henan, although he had made some achievements in Hebei and Henan, the news that the Central Committee had never promoted him came out!
This also made Zhang Zhiwen feel very depressed and felt that his official career may have come to an end. Deputy Chief Minister of Hebei Province may be the highest peak he can climb in his life!
So when the news came from the Ministry of Civil Affairs half a month ago that the commander-in-chief transferred him to be the Chief Secretary of Youyan, Zhang Zhiwen even couldn't believe his ears. When he realized what he was saying, he cried with joy and got drunk in the house. One game!
After all the frustration and frustration he had experienced in Hebei over the past few years, Zhang Zhiwen happily came to Yi Jing, ready to assume the throne of Youyan Chief Envoy!
Zhang Zhiwen is very aware of the importance of the post of Chief Envoy of Youyan. He knows that as long as he performs some political achievements in this position, he will be included in the cabinet of the Yijing court in the next few years. Zhang Zhiwen a place!
With such pride and ambition, Zhang Zhiwen came to Ye Mingsheng. He wanted to tell Ye Mingsheng his thoughts and plans for Youyan's future development while reciting his duties to Ye Mingsheng... ·············
In fact, Zhang Zhiwen also did this, but the commander's reaction next made him feel a little panicked!
In such a complicated mood, Zhang Zhiwen got on the carriage back home, and in the carriage he kept thinking about what Ye Mingsheng said to him!
He was originally an upright official who had very high demands on himself, but during Jiyu's frustrated years, he also relaxed the restraint on his own desires. He accepted other people's money and women, and hid his beauty in a golden house outside. !
Although his actions were nothing compared to some of his colleagues, Zhang Zhiwen also knew that he was no longer clean. He was ashamed and annoyed with himself, but in the end he chose to continue to indulge in desire and money. The beauty gradually becomes unbearable!
Zhang Zhiwen knew very well that although he didn't receive much money and only had two women, once he was exposed and tricked Ye Mingsheng, it would probably be difficult for him to tolerate him with his handsome personality!
Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen was secretive and tried his best not to let others know. Before meeting Ye Mingsheng just now, Zhang Zhiwen still thought that he had concealed it very well and not many people knew about him... ·············
However, when Ye Mingsheng presented the evidence, Zhang Zhiwen realized how ridiculous his confidence was!
Just when he was desperate, fortunately, the commander-in-chief took pity on his talents and did not pursue his own responsibilities. However, he still had to make meritorious deeds and achieve various development goals!
When he thought of the goals that the commander had set for himself, Zhang Zhiwen felt the pressure as heavy as a mountain. According to what the commander said, as long as these goals are achieved, the past can be overturned and no one will mention it in the future!
If you can't complete it, you will be punished for several crimes!
Zhang Zhiwen sighed. He knew that he had no way out now. The only option was to
The way is to improve Youyan's economy and people's livelihood according to Ye Mingsheng's requirements. Only in this way can he have a way to survive, and even continue to climb up!
As Zhang Zhiwen was thinking about how to complete the task, the carriage also stopped in front of the mansion. After a cup of tea, Zhang Zhiwen walked into his study. As soon as he took a sip of hot tea, the housekeeper Zhang Zhong handed Zhang Zhiwen a letter. .
"Sir, Mr. Zhao Wanxian, the Chief Minister of Hebei and Henan Province, just sent over a letter, inviting you to have tea at Chenji Teahouse tomorrow!"
Zhang Zhiwen looked a little surprised when he said this. He opened the envelope hesitantly and read the contents inside...
