As a smart woman, Pei Zhixiu felt that An Miaoyi's visit was worth savoring.

First of all, how could a woman like An Miaoyi not realize the cause of symptoms such as drowsiness and nausea? So before she came to her medical clinic, she must have had a doctor diagnose her condition.

pulse.

And this is the problem, why does An Miaoyi come to her place to act in a show even though she knows she is pregnant?

In Pei Zhixiu's opinion, An Miaoyi was deliberately testing her, testing her own thoughts without competing with her...

After getting a satisfactory answer from here, An Miaoyi changed her attitude and allowed herself to walk more with her in order to win over herself. Pei Zhixiu felt a little resistant to An Miaoyi's actions.

Although An Miaoyi now dominates the backyard of Ye Mansion without any rivals, Pei Zhixiu really does not want to take sides. This is not only due to her personality, she does not want to scheming and fighting with others.

In addition, Pei Zhixiu also clearly realized that An Miaoyi now has no rivals among Ye Mingsheng's many women due to her family background advantage, but this does not mean that there will be no rivals in the future. As Ye Mingsheng becomes more and more powerful,

More and more people will send women to Ye Mingsheng, and in order to appease people's hearts, Ye Mingsheng will definitely accept these political marriages.

When those daughters supported by the same powerful families join the Ye family, An Miaoyi's status will undoubtedly be challenged, and men are always fond of the new and dislike the old. They only see the new ones smiling, but never hear the old ones cry.

·············

So no one can say whether An Miaoyi will be able to smile at the end!

Thinking of this, Pei Zhixiu also had an idea in her mind. Although she was not ready to accept An Miaoyi's solicitation, she did not want to offend An Miaoyi. Some superficial efforts must be put in place.

·······················

·······················

Ye Mingsheng, who was not aware that the drama in his own backyard had quietly begun, asked Huo San to let her go after finishing Kobayakawa Takahide's conversation, and then drove to the staff headquarters.

He asked Huo San to introduce the palace capital intelligence obtained by Kobayakawa Takahide to He Jingyun and many staff members of the staff. They had been planning to sneak into Youyan's staff and heard that someone was also watching them and wanted to do something.

The oriole was also very surprised and stunned.

Ye Mingsheng, who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, slowly tasted the Longjing tea shipped from the south of the Yangtze River. He was not in a hurry to ask the staff what they thought. After all, when encountering such a sudden thing, the staff of the staff also need time to think.

He Jingyun quietly glanced at Ye Mingsheng, who was sitting in his seat with a dull expression. Although Ye Mingsheng only introduced the situation to them and did not give any other instructions, he had been following Ye Mingsheng for a long time, and he could still taste Ye Mingsheng to some extent.

Ming Sheng's intention to strike first and gain the upper hand...,

But striking first is easy to say, but not so easy to do. It is already late October, and snowflakes have begun to fall outside. The time left for the Fengwu Army to attack the palace is no more than a month.

time!

Once the war lasts for more than a month, the Fengwu Army will need to be prepared to spend the winter in the palace. In that case, the war is likely to turn into a war of attrition!

In the past few months, under the hard work and correct leadership of Ye Mingsheng, Liaoyang, which was originally riddled with holes, has finally recovered some of its strength. Even the financial problems, which were full of problems, are looking better and are no longer so bad.

What a headache!

But this does not mean that Liaoyang has the capital to fight a war of attrition. Once the war lasts too long and the remnants of the palace are not defeated quickly, the power of the aristocratic family that was originally suppressed by Ye Mingsheng with an iron fist may rise, and the original force will gradually get back on track.

In Liaoyang, there may be another wave of trouble...

Realizing this, He Jingyun couldn't help but frowned. As Ye Mingsheng rose to prominence, his status in Liaoyang also rose with the tide. He, who was originally depressed and frustrated, was able to fully display himself on the platform of Fengwu Army.

of talent.

At present, the Fengwu Army is like a dragon hiding in the abyss, with unlimited possibilities. The ancients said that soldiers are the most deadly weapons and must be used as a last resort. He Jingyun did not want Ye Mingsheng to be so rash and decide on military operations rashly.

Although he wanted to stop Ye Mingsheng's idea in his heart, he was afraid of Ye Mingsheng's power. He Jingyun did not intend to speak out and openly oppose Ye Mingsheng in front of so many people. He understood that things like giving advice must be careful.

Ways, ways!

After giving everyone about half a stick of incense, seeing that everyone had almost finished their thoughts and that he had almost finished drinking his tea, Ye Mingsheng put down his tea cup, looked around at everyone and said:

"Please tell me what you think about this matter!"

After Ye Mingsheng finished speaking, a staff officer named Zhang Ran stood up and said loudly:

"My subordinates believe that since our army already knows the thoughts of this thief Wang Kangxin, our army should increase the number of troops near Posuo Mansion, Fengzhou and Gongdu to take precautions!"

Hearing this, Ye Mingsheng, who was sitting on the chair, was a little disappointed. This Zhang Ran was really a mediocre person. Anyone with a brain could think of his method. Although he was disappointed, Ye Mingsheng did not reprimand him. He just waved his hand and asked Zhang Ran to stand.

Return to the team.

In order to train these young staff officers so that they are not just obedient, but dare to speak out and have different ideas and opinions, even if Ye Mingsheng hears some mediocre plans and ideas that he does not like in such meetings, he will

Will choose tolerance··············

Seeing Ye Mingsheng's tolerance for Zhang Ran, He Jingyun, who was worrying about how to think of a suitable solution and clarifying his opinions with Ye Mingsheng, suddenly had an idea in his mind. He lowered his head and pretended to cough, and took advantage of the situation to give a young consultant behind him a look.

This young staff officer is named Feng Cheng. He is very talented and thinks about problems very comprehensively. He Jingyun values ​​​​them very much. The two of them also have the same logic and ideas when looking at problems. Therefore, He Jingyun believes that Feng Cheng must be the one at this time.

I can understand the look in his eyes.

He is the chief of staff and the second-largest figure in the Fengwu Army after Ye Mingsheng. Some words spoken from his mouth may have different meanings in Ye Mingsheng's ears, so he must be cautious, and Ye Mingsheng is very cautious about young people.

People are tolerant, even if what they say is not in line with what he wants, Ye Mingsheng will not do anything, so this is the most appropriate thing for Feng Cheng!

Sure enough, just as He Jingyun thought, Feng Cheng immediately understood what he meant. He who wanted to express his feelings without any scruples stood up and said with cupped hands:

"Report to the Governor, King Kangxin of the Palace, Shen Jianzhong and others are stubborn people who want to do evil to us in Liaoyang. Our army should plow the courtyard and sweep the holes and show their heads to the public, but it is now the end of October and the weather has turned cold.

, Liaoyang has just been pacified, our army has just completed its reorganization not long ago, and the combat capabilities of various departments are still being integrated, so I would like to suggest that the expedition to the palace can be slowed down...

"

After hearing what this person said, Ye Mingsheng looked at him with interest and then said:

"Your name is Feng Cheng, right?"

Seeing that Ye Mingsheng recognized him, Feng Cheng felt a little excited and saluted again and said:

"Yes! My subordinate is Feng Cheng!"

Ye Mingsheng nodded and continued:

"Since you think it should be slowed down, then please tell me, when should our army send troops to the palace?"

Regarding Ye Mingsheng's question, Feng Cheng paused for a while, but thought about it and said:

"My subordinates believe that our army should set out to conquer the palace after next spring!"

"What about sending troops to Youyan? What if the opportunity to send troops to the palace is delayed because the troops are sent to Youyan?" Ye Mingsheng asked:

Facing Ye Mingsheng's questioning, Feng Cheng looked at each other a little, not knowing how to answer Ye Mingsheng's question. Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng looked around at everyone present and saw that no one else had any opinions. Ye Mingsheng shook his head and ordered:

"Chief of Staff, please stay here for a moment, everyone else should go out..."

After receiving the order, many staff officers retreated from the room and closed the door.

Glancing at He Jingyun, Ye Mingsheng asked calmly:

"You don't want to send troops to Gongdu now, do you?"

He Jingyun's heart tightened, knowing that although his little move just now was hidden, it was still not hidden from Ye Mingsheng's eyes.

Although he subconsciously wanted to make a few excuses, feeling Ye Mingsheng's gaze that seemed to be able to look directly into people's hearts, He Jingyun chose to take it seriously and nodded and said:

"Yes, sir! It is too hasty to send troops now. It will be winter soon. Our army can only have a month at most. And the new army in the palace under Wang Kangxin once had a total strength of close to 50,000 people. In such a short period of time,

At this time, it will be very difficult to defeat them!"

After saying this, He Jingyun looked at Ye Mingsheng with some anxiety. He didn't know whether his words would offend Ye Mingsheng. However, after hearing He Jingyun's words, Ye Mingsheng didn't express anything and just continued:

"Then what do you think?"

Seeing that Ye Mingsheng was not angry, He Jingyun said with relief:

"I believe that our army will station troops and build fortifications in Fengzhou and Posuo Prefecture. Although this strategy is mediocre, it is very safe for our army. Most of the new troops in Gongdu in the hands of Wang Kangxin are from Gongdu and their combat effectiveness is worrying."

"Although the enemy's army is large in number, our army only needs a partial division with firearms and fortifications to keep the enemy out of the country. This will not delay the main force of our army entering the customs...

···”

After hearing what He Jingyun said, Ye Mingsheng smiled and asked:

"General He, how many people do you plan to deploy in Fengzhou and Posuo Mansion?"

Facing Ye Mingsheng's questioning, the mature and prudent He Jingyun was obviously prepared for this question and said directly:

"The Fifth Division of the Entry Reserve, led by General Ye Tie, is cooperating with some local militia groups and Xiangyong in Fengzhou and Posu Prefecture. Even if Shen Jianzhong recruits Khitan people to help again, our army will be enough to deal with it!"

"As for the protection of the hinterland of Dongning, our army can transfer one or two battalions from its troops to take charge, so it will not have much impact on the entry!"

Seeing that He Jingyun had already thought about the next step, Ye Mingsheng looked at him and asked with a half-smile:

"General He, it seems that you are already prepared, but what if Gongdu's new army comes not by land, but by sea?"

"It only takes five to seven days by sea from Kangshan Port in the palace capital to our coastal area in Lelang Mansion!"

When Ye Mingsheng said this, He Jingyun was really shocked. As a land war general who had never fought a water battle, he had never thought about things at sea, but when he thought about it carefully, what Ye Mingsheng said was indeed a problem!

After thinking for a while, He Jingyun replied:

"Sir, the sea is very rough and easily affected by the weather. Will Wang Kangxin, Shen Jianzhong and the others take this risk?"

Ye Mingsheng smiled and shook his head and said:

"I'll give you a piece of advice, never underestimate Shen Jianzhong! Otherwise you won't even know how you died..."

"And the most important thing is, regardless of whether Wang Kangxin and others will take the sea route, we are now aware of this risk, should we be prepared for it? Are we ready to deploy troops in Lelang Mansion?
To be continued...
