The reason why Yuan Song respects Ma Zhongjun so much is because although Ma Zhongjun is young, he is also a very capable person. His future is unlimited. We are now fortunate to work together. If we form a good relationship, we may be able to use it in the future. As the old saying goes

Many friends, many paths, many enemies, many walls...

But the biggest reason is that although Yuan Song has not studied for a few days and does not know much about the truth, he has accumulated a lot of social experience after working in the army for so many years. He knows very well that what the higher-ups are most afraid of is

, you regard the army as your own hilltop, suppressing and excluding those transferred from above.

If you were a weak-tempered master, you might be able to survive if you did this, but if you met Ye Mingsheng, a murderous and iron-fisted leader, you would be leading the whole family to treat your life as a joke!

The battle plan against Wang Kangxin this time was not something that Yuan Songxing suddenly came up with. He had been thinking about this plan for some time.

According to the Fengwu Army's establishment of the First Division, Yuan Song should have six battalions of 18,000 soldiers. However, in fact, this time when they entered the palace to fight, the First Division was assigned 2,000 civilians to be responsible for the battle.

Transport materials and build fortifications.

Although these people are civilians, according to the reserve system implemented by the Fengwu Army in Liaoyang, they have received certain military training during their spare time. If they are allowed to fight alone, it will definitely not work, but if they are only allowed to assist

Combat is basically competent...

So if these people are included, then even excluding the casualties since entering the palace, Yuan Song now has close to 20,000 troops!

Although he wanted to leave Guo Zhiping and go it alone, Yuan Song still put the tasks assigned by Ye Mingsheng first!

The place he chose, Wushupo, was an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place near Ruishan County. Yuan Song believed that as long as there was enough food and grass, he would only need 15,000 soldiers and horses to hold out for ten days surrounded by the enemy.

above.

In ten days, no matter how slow Guo Zhiping and the others are, they will definitely be able to reach Ruishan County, and by then he will still be able to complete the tasks assigned by Ye Mingsheng.

It is precisely because of this confidence that Yuan Song has the courage to think of how to use the extra troops, and Yin Wang Kangxin makes a move!

The reason why Yuan Song wants to kill Wang Kangxin alone is not only because he wants to compete with Guo Zhiping, but also for another reason...

Although Ye Mingsheng's entry plan is top secret news in the Fengwu Army, as a senior general in the Fengwu Army after Ye Mingsheng and He Jingyun, Yuan Song still knows some specific contents, and the knowledge he knows is enough to make Yuan Song

It's heart-pounding.

Thinking of the broad prospect of Fengwu Army entering the Pass and capturing Youyan, Yuan Song made up his mind to serve as the main force in the plan to enter the Pass and assume the most important responsibility to make contributions instead of staying in his hometown in Liaoyang just in case.

!

The news Yuan Song received was that the staff plan was for three divisions of 50,000 to 60,000 people to enter the Pass, the first, second, and third divisions. One of these three divisions would be stationed at his hometown in Liaoyang, and the fourth division, Peng Ce, would enter the Pass.

Ye Tie of the fifth division stayed to guard the house.

Although we still don’t know who among Yuan Song, Lin Huaiwu, and Guo Zhiping was so unlucky to be left to guard the house, but when Ye Mingsheng attacked Posuo Mansion, Yuan Song suffered this loss and was placed in Xinfa County to guard against the Khitans!

Therefore, while other troops were drinking and eating meat and making a lot of military exploits, he led his troops to drink from the northeast wind on the plains of Xinfa County. As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years. With this

Learning from the past, Yuan Song does not want to make the same mistake again.

Although it is still unknown whether Ye Mingsheng, the military governor, will personally lead the troops in this battle, Yuan Song feels that this issue is not critical. In the Fengwu Army's combat mode, Ye Mingsheng generally only focuses on the general direction in the army.

, coordinates the overall situation, and He Jingyun, as the chief of staff, assists Ye Mingsheng in his work, makes suggestions for Ye Mingsheng, checks for deficiencies and fills in the gaps...

Specific combat command will be handed over to the chief officers of each department. Although Yuan Song, who commanded the First Division, has been the ace fist force of the Fengwu Army since its establishment, specializing in chewing hard bones, Yuan Song feels that this time

The possibility of him serving as the main force entering customs is not safe.

Guo Zhiping of the third division is rising rapidly, and Lin Huaiwu of the second division is the earliest confidant to follow Ye Mingsheng. Both of them may become the main force to enter the customs!

It is precisely because of this worry that Yuan Song wants to take the opportunity of this expedition to the palace to show his abilities and the powerful combat effectiveness of the First Division to the Governor, in the hope that the Fengwu Army will not hesitate to attack when they enter the pass.

Drop their first division.

Just when Yuan Song was secretly deploying, Wang Kangxin, who he regarded as his prey, set off from Liujing with tens of thousands of troops and marched quickly towards Ruishan County under the cover of night. From now on, his king

Kang Xin is about to race against time. Let’s see if God favors Ye Mingsheng more, or Wang Kangxin...

Although the combined strength of the Gongdu New Army and the Anton Army was nearly 50,000, Wang Kangxin discovered after deploying that he actually did not have that many troops to use to encircle and suppress Yuan Song!

First, he would send his trusted general Wang Liangshan to lead 5,000 troops to Xiaozheng Ridge to block the 30,000 men supported by Guo Zhiping, and buy more time for their main force to encircle and suppress Yuan Song. In order to allow Wang Liangshan to complete his mission, Wang Liangshan

Kang Xin transferred one thousand of the Andong Army of 5,000 people from the Zhou Dynasty to Wang Liangshan, whom he trusted most and had the strongest combat effectiveness.

Secondly, in order to let Shen Jianzhong calm down and prevent Liu Jing's Gongdu people from backstabbing him after he left, Wang Kangxin also left 5,000 troops for Shen Jianzhong. And because he could not trust the Gongdu people, Wang Kangxin also left 1,000 An for Shen Jianzhong.

Eastern Army.

The two 5,000 men are gone. Now Wang Kangxin only has about 40,000 troops that can be used to encircle and suppress Yuan Song. Although there are 10,000 less troops, Wang Kangxin's troops are still as strong as Yuan Song's two.

More than twice as much, which still made him full of confidence in the success of annihilating Yuan Song...

One day ago, in order to prevent Yuan Song from capturing Ruishan County before he arrived with his troops, Wang Kangxin deliberately gathered 5,000 troops to support Ruishan County in the hope of stabilizing the situation in Ruishan County. But now this

There has been no news from the advance team, which makes Wang Kangxin feel a little uneasy and worried about the situation in Ruishan County.

If Yuan Song captured Ruishan County now and relied on the county seat, then the encirclement and annihilation would be difficult!

"Report! News has come from the front, Commander-in-Chief. When Commander Park of the advance battalion arrived in Ruishan County, five thousand enemy troops were surrounding Ruishan County. The troops were extremely fierce, but Commander Park took the lead and fought bloody battles, killing five enemies.

One hundred people injured 800 of the enemy, and our troops suffered more than 900 casualties. We finally broke through the enemy's blockade and entered Ruishan County. The enemy has now been defeated and collapsed towards Wushupo in the south of the county!"

Hearing this casualty figure, Wang Kangxin couldn't help but squint his eyes. He had been in the army for many years and was no longer a young man. Although he had not officially fought against Yuan Song's Fengwu Army's First Division, through previous battle reports, he had no confidence in the First Division.

I also have some understanding of their combat effectiveness, so this number sounds reasonable at first glance...

The new army in Gongdu was almost brought out by Wang Kangxin. Wang Kangxin knew exactly how many pounds they had. If they were 5,000 people versus 5,000 people, then the number of casualties between the two sides would be roughly the same, or even

Wang Kangxin was already thankful to God if he suffered slightly more casualties.

The report from my subordinates of killing 1,300 enemy troops and injuring more than 900 troops is absolutely false!

Although he knew that the casualty figures reported by his subordinates were false, in order to boost the morale of the troops, Wang Kangxin still pretended to be very excited and said loudly:

"Very good! Did you hear this, brothers? Our army won the first battle!

"This bunch of bullshit soldiers are just a bunch of silver-gunned and candle-headed people, they just look like goods! As soon as my new army in Gongdu arrives, they will immediately lose control. You go and give the order to Pu Zhizhu, I will reward him heavily."

Although Wang Kangxin's acting skills were a bit exaggerated, the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command really believed in his performance. Their morale, which had been depressed by the overwhelming power of the Fengwu Army, instantly improved. Many of them were

Gearing up, imagining how to beat up the Fengwu Army.

Feeling his morale rising, Wang Kang had no sense of pride in achieving his goal. On the contrary, he secretly sighed in his heart, although it would not be long before the soldiers under his command would feel the cruelty and bloodshed of war.

But at least now you can lie if you can...

While Wang Kangxin led the team to continue marching, he calmed down the morale and took the time to observe the map. After carefully observing the topography and landforms of Ruishan County marked on the map for a while, a sneer appeared on the corner of Wang Kangxin's mouth.

Wushupo is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It seems that Yuan Song, seeing that he could not capture Ruishan County, decided to do the next best thing and prepare to camp at Wushupo and wait for help. However, he did not think about how he could defeat his trick.

Did you succeed?

Although there were now 10,000 fewer soldiers and horses that could be used to encircle and annihilate Yuan Song, he, with the help of Shen Jianzhong, successfully obtained a total of 3,000 Japanese iron cannons from Sato Kaga. With these iron cannons, he

With the firearms produced by themselves, they can equip almost 5,000 men, which somewhat offsets the Fengwu Army's advantage in firearms.

In terms of firearms, they are basically the same, and their troop strength is twice that of the opponent. Wang Kangxin is very confident that he will eat Yuan Song and his first teachers and students of the Fengwu Army alive!

Dongning, Governor's Mansion.

At a quarter past noon, Ye Mingsheng, who had been dealing with memorials from various places all morning, stood up from his chair, moved briefly, and was tired from sitting all morning, just to prepare for dinner. At this moment, Ye Mingsheng heard something outside the house.

, there was a sound of familiar footsteps.

Ye Mingsheng looked a little surprised when he heard the footsteps. If he heard correctly, the owners of these footsteps should be An Miaoyi and Qiqige. These masters and servants are really rare guests in his study...

············

The footsteps outside the door were getting closer and closer. The more Ye Mingsheng listened, the more he felt that he had heard correctly. After cleaning up the notebook on the desk, he ordered outside:

"Let them in!"

The guard outside the door was a little worried about how to stop the governor's wife. Now after hearing Ye Mingsheng's order, he immediately opened the door and invited An Miaoyi in.

Seeing An Miaoyi, who was getting plumper and with a slightly bulging belly, as she walked in the door, Ye Mingsheng's eyes softened and he said softly:

"Why did you come to my place today when you are free?"

After hearing this, An Miaoyi looked around in Ye Mingsheng's study, and then said jokingly under Ye Mingsheng's doubtful eyes:

"My husband, you have been living and dining in the study for the past few days. I came over to see if you have a little fairy hiding in the golden house to hide your beauty..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Mingsheng said with a dumb smile:

"Where are the little goblins? It has been windy and snowy these past few days, and many places have been affected. There are dozens of memorials from various places asking for money for disaster relief. The war in the palace has reached its most critical moment.

, the results will come out in five days or ten days. I have to keep a close eye on it. Now that my husband is alone, I wish he could be used by two people. How can I have time to pay attention to some little goblin!"

At this point, Ye Mingsheng walked up to An Miaoyi, gently caressed her belly with his right hand, and said in An Miaoyi's ear:

"And now that I have a big goblin like you, I don't need any little goblin..."

Although she and Ye Mingsheng had been sincere to each other, An Miaoyi couldn't help but feel a little hot when she heard Ye Mingsheng's affectionate words.

However, the most embarrassing thing at this time is not An Miaoyi, but Qiqige who is following her and carrying a food box. She looks at Ye Mingsheng and An Miaoyi in front of her. They are like no one else, but they are still yellow flowers.

The eldest daughter, Qiqige, had two blushes already appearing on her wheat-colored face, and her two strong long legs couldn't help but jingle slightly.

Perhaps noticing Qiqige's feelings, An Miaoyi said she was disgusted and gently pushed Ye Mingsheng away, then took the lunch box from Qiqige and said:

"I made some dishes that my husband likes to eat. Please try and see how I feel about the benefits!"

Ye Mingsheng was not happy at all when he heard this, but said with some worry:

"Miaoyi, how can you cook now that you are pregnant with Liujia? The people below will take care of the kitchen work!"

Feeling Ye Mingsheng's concern, An Miaoyi smiled slyly and said:
Chapter completed!
