Chapter 624 The prologue begins!
After accompanying Ye Mingsheng to fish for a while and watching Wang Xuecheng arrive, He Jingyun also found an excuse to leave because something happened in the staff department...
"Commander, three days ago our command office, with the assistance of the Third Division, destroyed the transport team from Anqing to the Huainan front line this month, killing more than 500 enemy troops. According to your instructions, Marshal, we destroyed these things without you.
, but distributed all food, medicine, money, firearms, etc. to the local people!"
"Without this batch of supplies, the Anqing Army would not be able to launch a general attack on Shouchun. In addition, our Coordination Office has recently planned to clear out some supporters of the Anqing Army, creating tension in the rear of the Anqing Army. In addition,
We plan to assassinate Xu Zhaojie again!" Wang Xuecheng introduced Ye Mingsheng very confidently:
Ye Mingsheng raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised when he heard the news at the end that he had destroyed the Anqing army's food transport team. He had heard from the staff before that he had indeed done a good job. The commander of the third division, Zheng Lin, personally led a thousand elite cavalry.
The strong mobility advantage of the cavalry troops penetrated 500 miles into Anqing. With the intelligence support of the Coordination Office, they destroyed a batch of grain and grass supplies carefully prepared by the Anqing Army, and withdrew to Fengqiu before the Anqing Army counterattacked.
Lao Chao gave An Qingjun a hard fight!
The Huainan side reported that Xu Zhaojie was furious and executed twenty-five officials and hundreds of people were implicated. Xu Zhaojie wanted to use this wave of food and supplies to push Shouchun and capture Huainan.
The first assistant completely occupied Huainan, but as this batch of supplies was destroyed, Xu Zhaojie's plan to push Shouchun forward had to be delayed for at least half a month! And this was after Xu Zhaojie ordered to take back this batch of supplies from the people.
·················
The intercepted materials were not destroyed but distributed to the people. Ye Mingsheng specifically told the Third Division after learning about this operation. This was also a conspiracy designed by Ye Mingsheng for Xu Zhaojie. Although Xu Zhaojie had recently used strategic deception
In this way, the main force of the Huai Army was almost completely annihilated and a huge military victory was achieved. However, this could not cover up the fragility of the Anqing Army's logistical supplies and the fact that military operations relied solely on blood transfusions in Anqing.
To be honest, if the Anqing Army's logistics supplies were stronger, the Anqing Army could have taken advantage of the great victory in the Battle of Kangyin and not give Feng Keqin time to reorganize, and directly marched to the city to completely capture Shouchun City in one go. However, it was precisely because of the lack of logistical supplies.
Weakness greatly limited the achievements of the Anqing Army.
Although Xu Zhaojie has a very strong ability to command operations, he is not a god, and he cannot conjure food, gunpowder and other materials out of thin air, let alone teleport these supplies from hundreds of miles away. The Anqing Army's achievements in recent years
The war was entirely supported by Anqing.
Although the Anqing army has achieved remarkable results in recent years, it has also turned Anqing, a land of plenty and wealth, into a place where people are boiling with resentment. The continuous blood transfusions to support the frontline war have almost depleted Anqing's wealth. Under Ye Mingsheng
It seems that there is only one spark left before the people of Anqing rise up to resist Xu Zhaojie's tyranny...
As the saying goes, a single spark can start a prairie fire. Ye Mingsheng is very much looking forward to the moment when Anqing becomes the next Jiyu. At that time, he only needs to invest some money and food to add fuel to the flames, just like this time in the Jiyu battle, and he can make Xu Zhaojie miserable.
Exhausted and unable to expand!
Ye Mingsheng couldn't ignite this spark. Xu Zhaojie had to do it himself. What Ye Mingsheng could do was create such an opportunity for Xu Zhaojie!
Under Xu Zhaojie's exorbitant taxes, the living standards of the people in Anqing plummeted. Therefore, the people were originally very angry at Xu Zhaojie's tyranny, but under Xu Zhaojie's powerful force to suppress it, they did not dare to speak out!
And now if Xu Zhaojie wants to take back this unexpected surprise given by the Fengwu Army, then the people will be even more angry than if they didn't get it. By then, the command office will secretly spend some money to fan the flames, and then Ye Mingsheng will turn Anqing into the second Jiyu.
Ideas are likely to become reality!
Of course Xu Zhaojie is not a fool. He will most likely see Ye Mingsheng's intentions and will not plunge into the trap Ye Mingsheng has set for him!
But it doesn't matter. This is Ye Mingsheng's conspiracy. Even if Xu Zhaojie pinches his nose and admits it, Ye Mingsheng will not suffer. The Fengwu Army will distribute the looted food and supplies to the people. This is undoubtedly a legacy for the local people in Anqing.
It made a good impression and laid a foundation for the Fengwu Army's possible move south...
Secondly, Xu Zhaojie, who was unable to obtain food supplies, would not be able to launch a large-scale siege operation in a short time while Feng Keqin held on to the last moment. When he accumulated a new wave of supplies and transported them to the Shouchun front line, there would be little hope.
Half a month has passed, and the combat goal set by Ye Mingsheng has been achieved.
Ye Mingsheng was very satisfied with the purpose of this battle. He also asked the staff to reward Zheng Lin, the commander of the third division who carried out the battle, and the cooperating personnel of the Coordination Office. However, what surprised Ye Mingsheng was that Wang Xuecheng actually
He also wanted to organize an assassination operation against Xu Zhaojie!
If Ye Mingsheng remembers correctly, because he knew about the grudge between him and Xu Zhaojie, Huo San organized two assassinations of Xu Zhaojie in order to please himself and take credit from himself to prove his ability to do things.
It's a pity that although Xu Zhaojie loves fun and beauty, he usually stays at home to play, or goes to the military camp where he is heavily guarded. The assassination is very difficult. Therefore, in the two assassinations organized by Huo San, Xu Zhaojie was not even around.
Once you enter, you will be solved.
After two assassinations, it was too difficult to assassinate Xu Zhaojie. In addition, Ye Mingsheng did not make any strict requirements on this matter, so Huo San retreated and avoided talking about the assassination of Xu Zhaojie from then on.
Later, Wang Xuecheng did not believe in evil. He summed up the experience of Huo San's two failures and organized an assassination of Xu Zhaojie. This time he was stronger and killed Xu Zhaojie in front of him, but still did not hurt Xu Zhaojie.
This incident seems to have happened half a year ago, because Wang Xuecheng has not mentioned assassinating Xu Zhaojie in the past six months. Ye Mingsheng originally thought that Wang Xuecheng was planning to follow Huo San's example and retreat, but now Wang Xuecheng looks so confident.
, seems to have some trump card...
Feeling Ye Mingsheng's attitude, Wang Xuecheng said very seriously:
"The humble position has absorbed all the experience of the previous failed assassination of Xu Zhaojie and formulated a very detailed and complete plan. This time, Xu Zhaojie will definitely die!"
Seeing Wang Xuecheng's vow, Ye Mingsheng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement with Wang Xuecheng's battle plan.
Although he really wanted to defeat Xu Zhaojie on the frontal battlefield, make him kneel at his feet, and cut off his head with his own hands, if he could put Xu Zhaojie to death now, Ye Mingsheng would not refuse. In addition, Xu Zhaojie had previously sent a cavalry raid.
This account of Zhuo County.
If it weren't for the fact that the Fengwu Army was now entangled in Jiyu and Qilu's affairs, Ye Mingsheng had already settled it with Xu Zhaojie. Now it would be good to use an assassination to collect interest. Even if he couldn't kill Xu Zhaojie, he could at least attack him.
Let’s take a look at Xu Zhaojie’s arrogance after his great victory in the Huainan War.
"It's up to you to assassinate Xu Zhaojie. I only have one thing to do, which is to ensure the safety of the Anqing Army as much as possible! Don't let them be exposed!" Looking at Wang Xuecheng, Ye Mingsheng ordered in a deep voice.
If Xu Zhaojie can really be killed, then it is not impossible to sacrifice these insiders. However, after experiencing three consecutive failures, Ye Mingsheng does not have much confidence in whether Wang Xuecheng can succeed this time, so in order to prevent Wang Xuecheng from making a big success and causing the unified coordination office to spend money
The hidden line that had been deployed in the Anqing Army with a lot of energy and financial resources was removed. Ye Mingsheng still wanted to emphasize the principles with him...
"Please don't worry, Commander! You will be measured in your humble position!" Wang Xuecheng understood Ye Mingsheng's words and quickly assured:
After saying this, Ye Mingsheng thought about it and asked again:
"I heard that many people in Yujing are tenant farmers?"
Faced with Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Wang Xuecheng's mind started to work quickly. Although Ye Mingsheng was just asking, as Ye Mingsheng's eagle dog, he was still very good at figuring out Ye Mingsheng's thoughts and realized the key to Ye Mingsheng's question.
This made Wang Xuecheng a little embarrassed. The dignitaries in Yujing were very good at getting things done. After the city was broken, they gave a lot of benefits to the officials of the Fengwu Army, which naturally included Wang Xuecheng's share.
I just hope that they can give Ye Mingsheng a few kind words.
"The Coordination Office has collected various statistics on land and property in Yujing, and it is expected that the statistics will be completed in one month and will be presented to the commander-in-chief for your review!" Wang Xuecheng bowed and said:
Although he received a lot of benefits, Wang Xuecheng still knew very well who gave him the power and who raised him. Although Ye Mingsheng turned a blind eye to the benefits he secretly received,
This is based on his loyalty. If he goes against Ye Mingsheng's will, then he is not far from death!
Ye Mingsheng was quite satisfied with Wang Xuecheng's answer, nodded and continued to give instructions:
"Although our army promised to guarantee their personal safety when they agreed to surrender, a lot of their property was obtained through plunder, oppression and exploitation. This is ill-gotten wealth! We must take it from the people and use it for them.
People! I have prepared houses and fields for them in Yijing and Dongning. You want them to feel my goodwill..."
After listening to Ye Mingsheng's instructions, Wang Xuecheng sighed secretly, but said without any hesitation:
"I understand, I believe they are all sensible people and will definitely be grateful for your kindness!"

Yi Jingdong City, in a certain house.
An Miaoyi smiled and asked a thin young man who looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old:
"Tian Yu, are you still used to living here these days?"
The thin young man, An Miaoyi’s younger brother, Yasuda Yu, nodded and said:
"Sister, they take good care of me!"
Seeing her brother's well-behaved appearance, An Miaoyi couldn't help but feel a pity in her heart. Due to premature birth, An Tianyu had been in poor health since she was a child. She got sick every three days and almost died several times. Although
She is in poor health and often gets sick, but Yasuda Yu is very sensible and obedient.
Although Yasuda Yu has never told herself, An Miaoyi also knows how much suffering Yasuda Yu will suffer if she is in poor health and is coerced by people from the Supervision Department to come all the way to Yi Jing to find her. Even though she really wants to take Yasuda Yu with her.
came to her side, but An Miaoyi still followed reason and did not bring Yasudayu into the Governor's Mansion. Instead, she asked Ye Cheng to find a place for Yasudayu to live in Yijing City, and then arranged for several maids and wives.
Take care of him
Although Yasuda Yu is her half-brother, he is already an adult after all. Taking him into the house without Ye Mingsheng is an easy thing to be criticized. If someone were to
Secretly fueling the flames behind the scenes, it is very likely to cause a new turmoil. In view of this, An Miaoyi can only put him outside...
····
"Sister, can you send someone to fetch Ruolan?"
Yasudayu mustered up the courage and asked An Miaoyi with some anxiety:
"Rulan? Who is she?" An Miaoyi asked with some confusion after hearing this:
"Ruolan is my wife!" Yasuda Yu said shyly:
After hearing An Tianyu's answer, An Miaoyi thought for a moment and then said:
"Are you talking about Xiao Ruolan, the daughter of the Xiao family? Isn't your wedding date next year?"
Because Yasuda Yu was born prematurely and was in poor health, when he was young, the An family asked an expert to calculate it for him. The final result was that the expert asked the An family to arrange a marriage for Yasuda Yu in order to change his destiny.
Therefore, the An family found the Xiao family in Guanzhong and made an arrangement with Xiao Ruolan, the direct daughter of the Xiao family, and agreed that when the girl came of age, they would become in-laws.
Yasuda Yu nodded and explained:
"My father was seriously ill in bed before. The Xiao family said that marrying Ruolan now would be a great way to celebrate my father's happiness, so I married Ruolan in advance!"
After saying that, Yasuda Yu looked at An Miaoyi again and said expectantly:
"Sister, Ruolan is a good woman. Because of the relationship between our families, she has also suffered a lot. I promised her that I will never let her down in this life. Can you take her over?
