Let's not talk about the fact that Bai Yuanyuan gave birth to a daughter for herself. Let's just talk about Bai Changrong's achievements in Chengfeng County this time. He should also reward him...

··········

But how should Bai Changrong be rewarded?

If Bai Changrong is not disabled, or if he only has one arm disabled, then the matter will be very easy to handle. It happens that the position of commander of the First Army is vacant. Ye Mingsheng can just directly promote Bai Changrong to this position. There is no need now.

So nerve-wracking!

But now that Bai Changrong will be in a wheelchair and has difficulty moving, it is definitely not possible to continue to stay in a field force like the First Army. So how to solve Bai Changrong's problem?

After thinking for a while, Ye Mingsheng gradually came up with some ideas. The first was to transfer Bai Changrong back to the rear and serve as the general of the rear garrison. He could be given more money and luxury houses.

The second idea is to create a deputy chief of staff position in the General Staff Headquarters and let Bai Changrong fill this hole.

The third idea is to let Bai Changrong serve as the commander-in-chief of the Fengwu Army Reserve. Xun Ke, who previously held this official position, has now been transferred to the Yunbin 8th Division as a general. Ye Mingsheng has never thought about who to fill the role.

This position, therefore this position is still vacant.

Although Bai Changrong has not been in the field army for too long and lacks experience in large battles, looking at all aspects of the situation, Bai Changrong's basic qualities as a military general are still excellent, his ability to train troops is still acceptable, and his personality is relatively good.

It's very decent, so it's very suitable for this location.

Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng started to write down the order, and planned to reward Bai Changrong with a mansion, and some gold and silver calligraphy and paintings as some comfort to him...

·······

After dealing with Bai Changrong's problem, Ye Mingsheng turned his attention to Yun Bing's battle report. Just as the Fengwu Army Staff expected, after the tactics of division and encirclement failed, and under the pressure of logistical supplies, Shangguan Hongyuan directly

They stormed four counties outside Jinzhong.

According to Yun Bing's battle report, the intensity of the war was very high. The Fengwu Army suffered nearly a thousand casualties every day. The Fengwu Army as the defender suffered such high casualties, so the Luoan Forbidden Army as the attacker

Not to mention, at least more than 2,000 casualties, or even 3,000 casualties are incurred every day!

In addition, the imperial army led by Wang Muzhi also made forcible crossings on the west bank of the Sanchuan River from time to time, forcing Guo Zhiping's main force not to dare to leave the east bank of the Sanchuan River easily. Therefore, in the absence of the cavalry of the Third Army, ten

The Dowan Luoan Forbidden Army used its superior strength to complete the blockade and siege of the four surrounding counties.

However, this was already in the staff's plan. In the past few months, the four counties outside Jinzhong have been in a state of preparation for war, repairing city walls, adding defense facilities, and storing food, gunpowder and other items.

According to the predictions of the General Staff, every county in the periphery has prepared at least enough food and gunpowder to support the two-month battle. However, the current battle only lasted for half a month, so the four counties in the periphery of Jinzhong can fully continue to support it.

Go down, if you want to take the city, the Luoan Forbidden Army must sacrifice thousands of lives to fill it...

Although there is no need to worry about the battle on the Yunbin battlefield for the time being, this also makes Ye Mingsheng feel some pressure. He must now solve the troubles on the southern front as soon as possible. Only in this way can the Luo'an Forbidden Army be on the Yunbin battlefield one and a half months later.

When the attack reached a bottleneck, he led his troops back to Shiyun and launched a counterattack!

Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng gradually made up his mind. He would personally lead the Ninth Division to Fengqiu to meet Xu Zhaojie!

The 18,000 soldiers and horses of the six battalions of the Ninth Division have been reorganized. Although the reorganization has just been completed and they have not participated in any major battles, the generals above the rank of captain are basically transferred from other units.

Coupled with the thirty light red cannons and hundreds of squatting cannons, the combat effectiveness is still very guaranteed.

And as long as the Ninth Division is also put into the Hebei-Henan battlefield, then including Yin Biao's Fourth Army, the Fengwu Army has concentrated more than 120,000 troops on the southern front, which is more than the Southern Army under Xu Zhaojie's command in Anqing.

The number of soldiers and horses is more than twice that of the enemy. Taking into account the advantage of artillery, the Fengwu Army still has a huge advantage. Only in this way can it guarantee that it can capture Xu Zhaojie.

From this perspective, perhaps Xu Zhaojie's invasion of Hebei and Henan is more conducive to the Fengwu Army's plan. After all, if Xu Zhaojie leads all his troops to retreat in Anqing, there will be real trouble for the Fengwu Army...

················

Although it has been decided to lead the Ninth Division to the battlefield in Hebei and Henan, Ye Mingsheng still has some things to deal with in Yijing. At this stage, due to the war, the Financial Secretary can be said to be spending money like water, for most of half a month.

It cost a full five hundred thousand taels of silver.

Although he had been prepared, the speed at which money was spent still made Ye Mingsheng a little frightened. Therefore, in order to continue the war, the Financial Secretary and the Chief Secretary also thought of many ways for Ye Mingsheng. Relaxing the illumination of the ticket number was also a measure.

One, in addition to that, there is Dadongsheng Company, which issued bonds of one million taels of silver, increased taxes on gambling houses, hook bars, etc.

In order to effectively implement these policies, Ye Mingsheng has been summoning some important ministers of the Fengwu Army and representatives of local wealthy gentry in recent days. It will take some time for Ye Mingsheng to deal with these matters before he can lead his troops to Hebei and Henan.

.

In addition to thinking about defeating Xu Zhaojie and ensuring the safety of the Fengwu Army's southern front during this trip to Hebei and Henan, Ye Mingsheng also wanted to inspect Hebei and Henan, which was something he had wanted to do a few months ago.

Although Ye Mingsheng learned from the memorials sent from all over Hebei and Henan that under the reforms of the Fengwu Army, the lives of millions of people in Hebei and Henan had been greatly improved, but Ye Mingsheng still felt that he should see it with his own eyes.

In fact, I went on an on-site visit to see with my own eyes the changes I had brought to the people of Hebei and Henan.

This time, we just had the opportunity to deal with Xu Zhaojie and get things done together. This can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone!

Licheng, Yin Mansion

Quickly walking into the study and looking at Yin Biao in front of him, Sun Jing'an frowned and asked:

'Brother Yin, Xu Zhaojie's envoy came to see you?'

Looking at Sun Jing'an who looked anxious in front of him, Yin Biao was a little disappointed, but he still said calmly:

"Didn't I already kill the King of Sex sent by Xu Zhaojie and hand him over to the Fengwu Army? Where did Xu Zhaojie's envoy come from?"

Seeing Yin Biao pretending not to know, Sun Jingan said in a deep voice:

"Brother Yin, you know I'm not talking about the man named Wang!"

Yin Biao shook his head when he heard this, pretending not to know and said:

"Brother Sun, I don't know about that brother!"

Feeling Yin Biao's attitude, Sun Jing'an sighed secretly, but still patiently explained to Yin Biao:

"Brother Yin, at this point we have no other choice but to cooperate with the Fengwu Army. Marshal Ye has appointed you, Brother Yin, to be the commander of the Fourth Army of the Fengwu Army. This is already the only one in the Fengwu Army.

He is a senior official second only to Marshal Ye, why should you be so persistent, Brother Yin!"

Facing Sun Jing'an's hard advice, Yin Biao did not waver in his heart. He looked at Sun Jing'an and said meaningfully:

"Brother Sun, are you comfortable doing your job as Qilu's chief envoy?"

Listening to what Yin Biao said, Sun Jing'an was speechless for a moment. Just when he was about to say something, Yin Biao interrupted him with a wave of his hand, looked at him and said seriously:

"Brother Sun, I don't know in what capacity you are coming to my house now. Are you coming as a good friend of Yin, or are you coming as the envoy of Qilu appointed by the Fengwu Army..."

···············”

Faced with the questions raised by Yin Biao, Sun Jing'an suddenly felt extremely painful. Although Yin Biao didn't say anything during this period, he knew that Yin Biao was complaining in his heart that he failed to defend Licheng.

Now that Yin Biao has destroyed Han Wenbao, if he defended Licheng and did not let the Fengwu army rush into Licheng, then Yin Biao and other senior officials of the Qi army would not be coerced by the family members of the Fengwu army. Yin Biao

There is no need to surrender to the Fengwu Army now!

However, he, Sun Jingan, was a civil servant and could not command a war at all. The Qi army troops responsible for defending the city had already secretly collected money from the Coordination Office, and now they were bombarded by the cannons of the Fengwu Army, as well as those in the Coordination Office.

Under the money offensive, he simply opened the city gate and surrendered. In such a situation, what can a civil servant do?

Sun Jing'an knew that although Yin Biao had surrendered to the Fengwu Army and accepted the appointment of Ye Mingsheng as the commander of the Fourth Army, he still disobeyed the Fengwu Army and Ye Mingsheng in his heart. He felt that Ye Mingsheng was plotting against him.

.

It is precisely because of this idea that when faced with Ye Mingsheng's order to attack Anqing, Yin Biao not only followed Ye Mingsheng's order to attack Anqing, but also found various reasons to delay the time. He also secretly communicated with Xu Zhaojie in the hope of rebelling.

Wu Jun.

Facing Yin Biao's gaze, Sun Jing'an said sincerely:

"Brother Yin, I know what you are thinking, but how many people in the Qi army do you think want to follow you?"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately hit Yin Biao's pain point. Yin Biao's expression changed and he said directly:

"So Brother Sun, you took refuge in Ye Mingsheng?"

"Brother Sun, don't forget, when you were humiliated by the Cao family, who was the one who helped you become the Cao family...

····”

Seeing Yin Biao turning up old scores, Sun Jing'an immediately said:

"Brother Yin, I will remember your great kindness to Sun Jing'an for the rest of my life! That's why I hope you can find your way back!"

Listening to Sun Jing'an's words, Yin Biao snorted and said decisively:

"Brother Sun, if you think you still have Yin Biao as a friend, please leave now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Biao picked up the tea cup and took a sip, as if he was serving tea to see a guest away. Seeing Yin Biao's indifference, Sun Jing'an sighed again. He knew that if he continued talking, the two of them would be in trouble in the future.

He really had to cut ties with each other and not even be friends anymore. Thinking of this, he was ready to turn around and leave.

However, at this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the house, and Yin Biao immediately yelled:

"What are you sons of bitches doing?"

After Yin Biao finished speaking, there was silence outside the room for a few seconds. However, soon the door to the study room was kicked open. Just when Yin Biao was about to curse, he only saw a strong man in armor, fighting in a group of soldiers.

Under the protection of the soldiers, he came to him holding a ferocious human head in one hand and his eldest son Yin Hu in the other.

Yin Biao was shocked when he saw the person coming, but he still calmed down and asked sharply:

"Zhang Meng, what do you want to do? I am the commander of the Fourth Army. Do you want to commit the following crimes?"

Facing Yin Biao's shouts, Zhang Meng grinned and threw the ferocious head in his hand at Yin Biao's feet and asked:

"Yin, you also know that you are the commander of the Fourth Army..."

Although the head was covered in blood and the facial expression was ferocious, Yin Biao still recognized it at a glance. The owner of the head was clearly the messenger sent by Xu Zhaojie to find him, Xu Zhaojie's cousin Xu Yunwen!

And now that Xu Yunwen's head appears here, there is no doubt that this means that the affair between him and Xu Zhaojie has been known to Zhang Meng!

Realizing this, Yin Biao looked directly at Sun Jing'an!

There is no doubt that he suspected that Sun Jing'an betrayed him. Sun Jing'an smiled bitterly and felt very helpless. Although he did not want to see Yin Biao go all the way, he would not betray him!

Then Yin Biao, a bandit leader who had been on the battlefield for decades, just wanted to steal the guy and rebelled against the Fengwu Army. He died and died for thousands of years. However, he looked at the Fengwu Army Armor holding a knife and ax in front of him.

Shi, and Zhang Meng who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, the flame of resistance in Yin Biao's heart was immediately extinguished.

Looking at Yin Biao with a gloomy expression, Zhang Meng was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and clapped his hands. The next second, a veteran walked into the room. Looking at the person who walked into the room, Yin Biao suddenly became furious.

Angry, he pointed at the visitor and said viciously:

"You bitch, how dare you betray me!"

Zhang Meng snorted coldly and said:

"Yin Biao, you still have the nerve to talk so shamelessly here? You have secretly colluded with Xu Zhaojie over and over again. The commander-in-chief not only didn't care about it, but also entrusted you with important responsibilities. But in the end, you didn't repent and were still dreaming of treachery.

He is an unfaithful and unjust person!"

"For people like you, the nine tribes should be killed and executed in Lingchi, but our Marshal Ye is kind-hearted and willing to give you another chance, as long as you are willing to hand over the military power of the Fourth Army to General Zhao now, and then take your family with you
