Under Ye Mingsheng's gaze, He Jingyun said very modestly

"Don't take your opinions seriously! I just have some thoughts of my own..."

"From my point of view, it is very difficult to deceive Duan Yanfeng. Even after General Guo led his cavalry, it would be very difficult to break through Duan Yanfeng's stronghold. According to intelligence from the Coordination Office, although Cao Changping only gave Duan Yanfeng three

Ten thousand troops, but most of the firearms that our army had previously sold to the Qi army were assembled for the 30,000 people under Duan Yanfeng's command, including one thousand Polu blunderbuss, two thousand Weiyuan blunderbuss, and thirty gate tigers

Crouching gun!"

"So instead of deceiving Duan Yanfeng, I think it would be better to deceive Gao Zongchang! Gao Zongchang is not as stable as Duan Yanfeng!"

As soon as these words came out, Ye Mingsheng fell into thinking. Seeing this, He Jingyun also stood quietly, waiting for Ye Mingsheng to make the next decision.

He is the chief of staff of the Fengwu Army. Although he has never led an army alone in combat since the establishment of the Fengwu Army, he is still recognized as the second largest figure in the Fengwu Army system, Ye Mingsheng, and is in charge of the work of He Jingyun in the staff department.

There are many, but the most important responsibility is to provide Ye Mingsheng with operational advice.

However, after the battle to the south began, He Jingyun gradually realized that his position was subject to some challenges. First, in the combat mission of annihilating the main force of the Henan Army, Yuan Song and Guo Zhiping teamed up to kill first and then play back, changing his combat plan. Secondly, in Zhuo

When the county faced an enemy attack, Ye Mingsheng also rejected his prudent policy and insisted on annihilating the visiting enemy.

What makes He Jingyun feel most heavy is the recent conflict of plans between him and Luo Gang. Ye Mingsheng did not adopt his plan to encircle Yujing, but chose Luo Gang's plan to encircle the point and provide reinforcements. This undoubtedly cost him.

He Jingyun, the chief of general staff, felt a sense of crisis...

So He Jingyun felt it was necessary to plan a winning battle, prove to Ye Mingsheng his ability as the chief of general staff, and win back Ye Mingsheng's trust!

After thinking for a moment, Ye Mingsheng took a deep look at He Jingyun. It can be seen from He Jingyun's words that he seemed to have realized that Duan Yanfeng would not fall into the trap, but he still watched Luo Gang carefully planning Shunshan.

Xiang's trap is waiting for the failure of this operation to attack Luo Gang.

It seems that He Jingyun takes Luo Gang a little bit seriously!

Ye Mingsheng has always had an understanding of the art of controlling subordinates, that is, you must unite your subordinates, but you must not let them be too united. If your subordinates are not united, they will be a mess and cannot accomplish anything great.

If you are too united and monolithic, it will be very dangerous for you as the boss! Therefore, it is very important to master the degree of control!

Based on this understanding, Ye Mingsheng turns a blind eye to some internal conflicts within the Fengwu Army that do not affect the overall situation of the Fengwu Army. However, as long as Ye Mingsheng thinks that they are conflicts that will affect the overall situation of the Fengwu Army,

, Ye Mingsheng will immediately take action to suppress it with an iron fist!

But now He Jingyun knows that Luo Gang's plan will most likely not work, and yet he doesn't stop it and opposes it. Instead, he sits back and watches his plan fail in order to crack down on Luo Gang's behavior. In Ye Mingsheng's opinion, it's a bit over the line, but okay.

There was no loss to the Fengwu Army here. At most, it was just a useless effort by the soldiers who were ambushing Shunshan Township...

Therefore, Ye Mingsheng is not prepared to punish He Jingyun too much, but the subsequent beatings are indispensable to make He Jingyun realize that there is a limit to the struggle!

Regarding the look in Ye Mingsheng's eyes, He Jingyun didn't know what Ye Mingsheng was thinking. He thought it was Ye Mingsheng asking him what to do next and immediately said:

"Commander, although Gao Zongchang has mobilized many young men in Yujing City to help defend the city during this period, as the First Army blocked Yujing's external connections, Yecheng, Fengqiu and other places fell one after another.

News of the news has been transmitted to Yujing City one after another. The morale of the Henan Army is now very low. The dignitaries in Yujing City have clearly realized that if this continues, the fall of Yujing is only a matter of time!"

"So Gao Zongchang is very conflicted now. On the one hand, he is worried about our army attacking Yujing, but on the other hand, he wants to counterattack to gain a chance of survival. I think we can take advantage of Duan Yanfeng's opportunity to save him and let Gao Zongchang see the possibility of counterattack.

Hope, and lure him out of the city!"

Ye Mingsheng thought for a while and asked again:

"The Qi army under Duan Yanfeng is not far away. Will he see through your idea and use it to his advantage?"

He Jingyun smiled and said;

"Commander, Duan Yanfeng is very cautious and prudent in his military use. This is a good habit most of the time, but when he needs to make a decisive decision, he will delay the opportunity and dare not take risks. Back then, Shangguan Hongyuan admired his talent.

We plan to transfer him to serve in the Forbidden Army!"

"But Duan Yanfeng was worried that there were many factions in the Forbidden Army, and it would be very difficult for him to enter as an outsider, so he declined Shangguan Hongyuan's proposal. Otherwise, with his ability, how could he have the highest official position in his life, only a fourth-rank one?

Qilu Defense Envoy!"

Ye Mingsheng nodded when he heard this and said:

"In that case, I'll leave this matter to He Jingyun. I look forward to good news from you!"

Dongning, Murong Mansion

In the study, Murong Hui and Murong Yuliang, the uncle and nephew, were sitting opposite each other. Looking at the darkened and thin nephew in front of them, Murong Yuliang said in a deep voice:

"This time you went a little too far!"

Facing his second uncle's accusation, Murong Hui shook his head and said:

"How can I have this ability! Second uncle, you think too highly of me!"

Murong Yuliang seemed to realize something as soon as he said this, and asked with a very serious expression:

, "Is this what your father meant?"

Murong Hui smiled and nodded and said:

"certainly!"

"Rongcheng can't hold on any longer, so we have to speed up some things!"

After hearing this answer, Murong Yuliang frowned even deeper, and it took him a long time before he continued;

"Once he discovers the matter, all the family's efforts will be in vain!"

Murong Hui also suppressed his smile when he heard this, and said in the same serious tone:

"Second uncle, they were the ones who made the move first! They were also the ones who broke the rules first. In that case, we, the Murong family, can only stay with us until the end! As for the commander-in-chief, since he can condone them breaking the rules, he won't do anything wrong even if he thinks about it.

Our counterattack interferes!"

Although he still wanted to persuade his nephew to restrain himself, Murong Yuliang was also very angry when he thought of the things he had done, so he did not say anything more on this topic, but immediately changed his voice and asked:

"How are your father's preparations in Chengdu?"

Murong Hui nodded and said:

"Everything is ready. Many members of the family have already sneaked into the secret. My father has also met with representatives from Luo'an..."

Murong Yuliang heard this and asked:

"They want to turn your father against him?"

"Um!"

Murong Hui nodded and said:

"Jiang Guang is at the end of his strength in Jianmen and has repeatedly asked for help from Rongcheng. But now there are no reinforcements for him in Rongcheng. The clan has been forced to agree to Sun Liangyu's entry into Shu. But in my opinion, by this time, it seems to be a bit late!

"

"In addition, Wang Sizhong, the Marquis of Xiping, has secretly defected to Luo'an, but he does not have enough weight and power in his hands to help Luo'an. Therefore, Chen Jingyu still wants to win over my father and let him take the lead in surrendering in Chengdu.

!”

"Chen Jingyu's idea has been rejected by my father! My father's attitude is very clear. He does not object to Shangguan Hongyuan's return to power, but he will not take the initiative to surrender!"

Upon hearing this, Murong Yuliang touched his palms and smiled:

"Your father should see it clearly! If Shangguan Hongyuan regains control of the court, Lin Shize's faction will inevitably be purged, and many seats will be vacant in the court. Your father has always been gentle towards Shangguan Hongyuan, even if we

The Murong family has done nothing. In order to increase the influence of the new imperial court, Shangguan Hongyuan must leave a place for your father in the cabinet!"

"Abandoning the imperial court during the Southern Tour is the last resort. It will not only damage the reputation of your father and our Murong family, but will also completely tie our Murong family to Shangguan Hongyuan's chariot!"

"The current general trend of the world is no longer what Shangguan Hongyuan thought. Even if he takes back the little emperor again, he will not be able to achieve the effect he wants of holding the emperor hostage to control the princes...

··················”

"yes!"

Murong Hui nodded in agreement and said:

"Even if Shangguan Hongyuan takes Sichuan and Shu, he doesn't have much time. The Fengwu Army is expanding and digesting territory much faster than he is. Time is not on Shangguan Hongyuan's side. He must seek a decisive battle with the Fengwu Army as soon as possible.

, otherwise if time goes on and the Fengwu Army has digested those territories, he will have no choice but to retreat to Guanzhong, passively being beaten and unable to counterattack!"

Seeing Murong Hui talking about this, Murong Yuliang seemed to have remembered something, looked at Murong Hui and asked:

"Nephew, from Yi Jing's perspective, you should know more news about the front line. I heard a few days ago that Xu Zhaojie went north to Hebei and Yu to join the war?"

Murong Hui shook his head when he heard this and said:

"Shangguan Hongyuan put a damper on our army's offensive in Hebei and Henan. He gave Xu Zhaojie a batch of money, food and firearms, and asked him to go north to Hebei and Yu to delay our army. According to the battle reports from the front, Xu Zhaojie did have a chance, and so did his Anqing army.

Very powerful, but he and Shangguan Hongyuan are not of the same mind, he retreated after Ji Yu made a false shot, and then dragged Cao Changping into the water!"

"I heard from the Zhuoxian headquarters that the commander-in-chief is very angry at Cao Changping's double-dealing. It is very likely that after taking over Jiyu, he will send troops to Qilu to teach Cao Changping a lesson!"

Murong Yuliang nodded after hearing this:

"I hope that the war in Hebei and Yu will go smoothly and the battle can end soon, otherwise all the wealth that I have saved so hard will be wiped out!"
