Chapter 326 Ye Gu is conspiring!
After the discussion between Lin Huaiwu and He Jingyun, this meeting of the General Military Mansion is over. Because it is only the first meeting, and the situation in Posu Mansion is not too clear yet, so Ye Mingsheng also plans to discuss it extensively.
Listen to the opinions of your subordinates and do not rush to inform the generals of your ideas...
After everyone left, Ye Mingsheng asked Ye Dong to invite Gu Sansi into his study. Regarding the discussion between Lin Huaiwu and He Jingyun, Gu Sansi did not express his position at the meeting just now.
Ye Mingsheng knew that Gu Sansi wanted to protect himself and not offend anyone, so he wanted to give Gu Sansi a chance to make a statement to him alone. In addition, Ye Mingsheng still had several issues to discuss with Gu Sansi about sending troops to Whisao Mansion.
Think twice and discuss.
As soon as Gu Sansi entered the study, Ye Mingsheng asked straight to the point:
"Mr. Gu, do you think what He Jingyun said is likely?"
At this time, he and Ye Mingsheng were the only two people in the study, so when faced with Ye Mingsheng's question, Gu Sansi answered directly without any scruples:
"My personal views on Mr. He are that I both agree and disagree!"
Listening to what Gu Sansi said, Ye Mingsheng asked with some confusion:
"Mr. Gu, what do you mean by this?"
"Master He's idea is perfect. If he leads the army, I believe his plan will be successful. However, I think Master He is a bit too idealistic and ignores two points: the execution ability of these bandits.
and their loyalty to Zhensanshan.”
"The essence of this plan is actually the guerrilla warfare that your Excellency mentioned before. When the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy retreats, we harass. But unfortunately, Zhensanshan has a group of bandits fighting on their own, rather than a group of bandits who enforce orders and prohibitions and maintain military discipline.
The strict army···········"
"Although Zhen Sanshan has many people, I doubt how strong his control over these bandits is!"
"Zhen Sanshan was able to summon so many bandits to help out, partly because of his prestige as the leader of the green forest, and partly because he promised these bandits huge profits!"
"These bandits who came to help in the war have no loyalty to Zhensanshan. In short, they just sold Zhensanshan for the sake of profit!"
"Some people may fight tooth and nail to conquer Sanshan, but I believe that more people have their own thoughts and want to preserve their strength."
"You can ask them to fight with the wind. These bandits will become extremely ferocious, but if you want them to be resilient and do what Mr. He said, they will run into the mountains when Ji Qiwei attacks and wait for Ji Qiwei to retreat.
Then stick to it again and harass Ji Qiwei."
"This group of bandits will definitely complain endlessly. It won't take long for these bandits, who are lax in discipline and lack loyalty to Zhensanshan, to run away. By then, Zhensanshan will collapse without a fight...
·····”
Gu Sansi's analysis immediately made Ye Mingsheng's eyes light up. After pondering for a moment, Ye Mingsheng raised his head, looked at Gu Sansi and said:
"Mr. Gu, since you said you both agree and disagree, and now you deny He Jingyun's strategy of weakening the enemy, it seems that you agree. He thinks that Zhensanshan will delay time so that he can gather troops to fight against Ji Qi.
Is it on stage?"
"Yes!"
Gu Sansi nodded seriously.
"What's the reason?" Ye Mingsheng asked:
"Sir, Director Huo just said that Zhensanshan is still recruiting bandits to come to help in the battle! Each of these bandits are useless and can't afford to fight early!"
"I don't know what benefits Zhensanshan has promised them, but I am sure that Zhensanshan must have spent a lot of money to invite them. If Zhensanshan just wants to repel Ji Qiwei, there is no need for him to summon so many people.
people!"
"He spent so much money and gathered so many bandits. Apart from having a good fight with Ji Qiwei, I can't think of any other possibility..."
··”
After thinking carefully about Gu Sansi's opinion, Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly. Gu Sansi's idea was well-founded and indeed very convincing. After thinking about it, Ye Mingsheng continued to ask:
"In this case, Mr. Gu, what do you think Zhensanshan will do?"
Hearing this, Gu Sansi shook his head with a hint of embarrassment and said:
"I don't know what Zhen Sanshan will do now, but I think he is waiting for an opportunity to decide the outcome in a battle with Ji Qiwei!"
Listening to Gu Sansi's words, Ye Mingsheng was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, he understood. After all, Gu Sansi was smart. He was a human, not a god. He couldn't predict the future. It was enough to be able to analyze the information from some clues.
Prove that you are a powerful mastermind!
After taking a look at Ye Mingsheng's expression, Gu Sansi smiled again and said:
"Sir, although I don't know what Zhensanshan will do, I know what we should do!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Mingsheng suddenly became interested and asked:
"As you said before, have you found the opportunity and the helper?"
"Yeah!" Facing Ye Mingsheng's gaze, Gu Sansi nodded with a smile and said:
"Sir, no matter what Zhensanshan does, the gap in combat power between the bandits and the army is real. Therefore, even if Zhensanshan can defeat Ji Qiwei, his losses will not be small. This is why we are very good
The opportunity..."
"If Ji Qiwei and Zhen Sanshan draw, or if Ji Qiwei wins, it will be a God-given opportunity given to you by God!"
"As for the helper, Sir, I have already thought of it for you. This person is Jiang Chong, the cannon leader of Sanshan!" Gu Sansi deliberately emphasized his tone at the end.
Ye Mingsheng was a little stunned when he heard this. He really didn't expect that the helper Gu Sanxiu wanted would be Jiang Chong!
The 30,000 officers and soldiers under Ji Qiwei are now in a dilemma, and Jiang Chong has an unshirkable responsibility.
Originally Ji Qiwei planned to ask him to surrender in front of the battle, or to stay on Baihu Mountain to disturb Zhen Sanshan's rear. However, Jiang Chong leaked the news and Zhen Sanshan was aware of it, so Jiang Chong had no choice but to run away with his troops in order to protect himself.
When he arrived in Yanjiang County, he asked Ji Qiwei to stand in front of him.
Is it reliable for him to use this kind of person as his helper now?
Seemingly sensing Ye Mingsheng's thoughts, Gu Sansi explained:
"Sir, according to the information from Director Huo, Jiang Chong had long expected that Zhensanshan would attack him, so he had already asked his brother Jiang Yuan to recruit troops in Yanjiang County.
"And he took away the two thousand cavalry, so now he has at least five thousand troops. This is already a considerable force!"
"The day when Ji Qiwei and Zhen Sanshan will decide the winner is when our army raids Posuo Mansion. Although our army is small in number, it is well-equipped and well-prepared. If we dare to fight and fight hard, we will have the advantage of a sudden attack. We will definitely be able to defeat the enemy."
A huge defeat..."
"But with the strength our army can dispatch, it is very difficult to achieve a complete victory!"
"If we fail to defeat the enemy in the first battle, we will fall into a war of attrition with the opponent, and our army's military inferiority will be fully exposed."
"So when our army goes out to attack, it is best to have a supporting army that can attack Baihu Mountain. In this way, the enemy's army cannot look at each other, and the morale of the army will be scattered. Our army will take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and the overall situation is determined."
"From the perspective of the entire Posuo Mansion, only Jiang Chong has the ability to attack Baihu Mountain! As the number one general under the control of Sanshan and the second master of Baihu Mountain, he is familiar with the situation in Baihu Mountain!"
"In addition, he has a team of two thousand cavalry at his disposal, which can ensure the speed of the attack. The soldiers and horses left behind in White Tiger Mountain to defend the Three Mountains will be caught off guard."
"And the most important thing, sir, is that Jiang Chong and his troops are our only possible helpers in Posuo Mansion. Apart from him, no one in the entire Posuo Mansion has the ability or willingness to help our Fengzhou Army."
···········”
Although what Gu Sansi said was good, Ye Mingsheng was still a little worried about Jiang Chong. He thought for a while and asked:
"I see that Jiang Chong is capricious. Can he attack Baihu Mountain for our troops as sir wishes?"
Hearing this, Gu Sansi smiled confidently and said with determination:
"My lord, you are right. Jiang Chong has a bone in the back of his head and is capricious. He is a complete villain!"
"A person like him is only loyal to himself, but no matter who he betrays, he will never betray himself!"
Gu Sansi's words seemed like nonsense, but Ye Mingsheng understood something from his words. At this time, Gu Sansi continued:
"Liu Peng was an accomplice of Jiang Chong. Now Liu Peng has died tragically at the hands of Zhen Sanshan. His body riddled with holes is now hanging on the flagpole of Baihu Mountain!"
"What anyone in power hates most is betrayal. Jiang Chong knows very well that Liu Peng's today is his tomorrow. Zhen Sanshan and Ji Qiwei will deal with him when they come back from the fight. And once he is caught by Zhen Sanshan, then he
His fate will be a thousand times, ten thousand times worse than that of Liu Peng..."
"I guess he must be in panic in Yanjiang County right now. He can't sleep for fear of Zhensanshan's revenge!"
"The best way to avoid the enemy's retaliation is to kill him before he can retaliate! As long as we send an eloquent person who understands the interests, we can make Jiang Chong willingly cooperate with our army's plan.
!”
"In addition, Jiang Chong is ambitious and unwilling to live under others for a long time, and the wealth he accumulated throughout his life in Zhensan Mountain is in Baihu Mountain. This is an unparalleled temptation for Jiang Chong. People will die for wealth, and birds will die for food. People like him will die for money.
The villain will never miss this golden opportunity!"
After listening to Gu Sansi's story, Ye Mingsheng was certain that Jiang Chong would cooperate with him in attacking Baihu Mountain for his own benefit.
But he didn’t like Gu Sansi’s plan at all!
He, Mr. Ye, used so many soldiers and horses to attack Posuo Mansion. A large part of the reason was that he wanted to swallow up so much money and food that Zhen Sanshan had hidden in Baihu Mountain, so that he could expand his army and prepare for war.
If these benefits of Baihu Mountain were taken away by Jiang Chong, wouldn't he have made a wedding dress for Jiang Chong?
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but come up with a plan and said to Gu Sansi:
"················"
Listening to Ye Mingsheng's narration, Gu Sansi's eyes lit up. When Ye Mingsheng finished speaking, Gu Sansi said with emotion:
"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins. It turns out that you are the better one, sir!"
"Ji Qiwei, the people in Zhensanshan are fighting over each other, fighting for life and death, but in the end they are just playthings in the hands of adults!"
Listening to Gu Sansi's compliment, Ye Mingsheng felt a little proud, but he still said modestly:
"Mr. Gu, you are serious. This is just an idea. The details will depend on the situation at the time!"
····················
····················
After conspiring with Gu Sansi, Ye Mingsheng felt confident. He stayed in the military camp in the north of the city for three days in a row. He held two seminars with his generals in the military camp and listened to the opinions of his subordinates extensively.
After discussing their opinions, Ye Mingsheng finally told everyone about his plan to send troops to the Whining Mansion.
With the issuance of Ye Mingsheng's order, Fengzhou's war machine, although not very big now, but tightly surrounded by Ye Mingsheng as the core leadership, started quietly.
He Jingyun, Lin Huaiwu, Xun Ke and other military attaches stayed up all night to perfect the plan including the route of travel, how to deal with unexpected events, how to retreat in the event of failure and other details...
Huo San's Coordination Office provides intelligence support, and prepares guides in Posa Mansion in advance, as well as information on water sources along the way,
Gu Sansi, who was in charge of the logistics, also went ahead with food and grass before the soldiers and horses were used. He ordered people to quietly transport important materials such as food and medicine to the front line of Xiangshuiyuan, waiting for the arrival of Ye Mingsheng's army.
All in all, under Ye Mingsheng's order, all departments are making preparations in an orderly manner. Ye Mingsheng's plan this time is still for him to go out in person, and Deputy Chief He Jingyun will accompany him to make plans.
Lin Huaiwu's second battalion guarded Fengzhou City in case of unexpected events, but in order to ensure the strength of the troops, he transferred one thousand men from the three thousand men of the second battalion and added them to Chen Chuanwu as a food security team.
As for Liang Xuezhang's third battalion and Xun Ke's fifth battalion, who are currently stationed in the camp in the north of the city, a total of 5,000 people will come out. On the seventh day of this month, the army will quietly go to Xiangshuiyuan and where Guo Zhiping and Ye
Iron Ministry round, waiting for the opportunity to appear...
This time, Ye Mingsheng expected to send 10,000 troops to Posuo Mansion, including Guo Zhiping's 2,500 cavalry. Although the number was not large, Ye Mingsheng had basically sent out all his elite troops, and he had spent a lot of money to seize Posuo Mansion!
On the night before the army set off, Ye Mingsheng quietly slipped out of the camp in the north of the city with Ye Dong and other soldiers without notifying anyone. He did not return to his headquarters, but came to a place in the east of the city.
Located in a secluded and exquisite house.
Looking at the woman in front of him with skin like mutton-fat white jade, a plump and graceful figure, delicate features but a cold expression, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but think of everything that happened at Feng Ji Teahouse that day, and the expression on his face couldn't help but change into a smile.
He stood up and spoke calmly:
"Mrs. Wang, please think carefully, Ye is not forcing you..."
Chapter completed!
