While the mysterious man who looked like Ye Yu was talking to the old man in a private house, Ye Ze arrived at Ye's house, but chose to enter informally. He climbed over the wall and went directly to Ye Yu's room.
Ye Yu was also alarmed by the battle between Ye Ze and Li Huo, and sent someone to check. As soon as he received the report from the spies, Ye Ze jumped down from the house. Ye Ze's concealment skills surprised Ye Yu, but when he heard about it, Ye Yu
Ye Ze's words made me begin to wonder if Ye Ze's brain had been blinded by the fire.
Be loyal to the Queen and hand over power? Even when he first heard the news about Ye Feng's betrayal of the empire, Ye Yu didn't find it so ridiculous.
"That's what you're talking about when you sneak up on me?" Ye Yu looked at Ye Ze funnyly: "If there's nothing else, you can go back and rest."
"I have convinced Meralt." Ye Ze said: "The Black Mountain family is the vane of the neutral faction, and many people will side with Yanqueluo."
Ye Yu smiled and said, "You can also choose to fight with me, but I won't make such a ridiculous bet."
When Ye Ze explained his intention, Ye Yu guessed that there was something fishy about tonight's battle. When he mentioned the Black Mountain family, he suddenly became clear.
"Does the Ye family want to usurp the throne?" Ye Ze looked at Ye Yu: "With so many legion commanders being members of the Ye family, it is not a small crime for a mercenary to be self-respecting. Besides, the position of the military department is higher than that of legion commanders."
"What you say is meaningless. The Ye family and the Montenegro family are different." Ye Yu said: "Although Meralt is smooth, the Montenegro family has only a small number of people and no political opponents. Although I am a little surprised by his decision, this choice is good for
It's not a bad thing for the Heishan family. But the Ye family has gone through ups and downs, has a great business, and has made countless enemies. The Mu family is just one of them. If you don't have some hard goods, how can you scare others? If you don't hold the army tightly
, when something happened to my eldest brother, the Ye family had already collapsed."
Ye Yu paused and continued: "The Ye family has always supported the royal family, and we will obey the Queen's orders. But handing over military power is absolutely impossible."
"As far as I know, your soldiers are not having a good time either." Ye Ze said, "The money bag is in the hands of the Mu family. As long as you don't compromise with them, your soldiers will probably starve.
"
When he came to meet Ye Yu, Ye Ze naturally did a lot of work in advance. He learned a lot of information from Yanqueluo. In the military, the Ye family is indeed one of the best. Not counting the miscellaneous legions, there are eight out of eleven main legions.
All are controlled by direct descendants of the Ye family.
But the problem is that Muying is the Minister of Finance and has the right to participate in the review and approval of military expenditures. In this regard, Ye Yu has given eye drops. Although he has not defaulted on military pay, in terms of treatment, the main armies controlled by the Ye family still have
It is not as good as some local armies. Hongwu's power is mostly in the military headquarters. Once he also falls to the Mu family, he will be able to strangle most of the money and food. Without Ye Yu handing over power, there will be a mutiny within the army alone.
The reason why the Ye family is currently suppressed by the Mu family lies in this.
Ye Ze used this to talk about the matter, which was a key point, but Ye Yu had already expected it, and his expression was as usual, and he said calmly: "No matter how hard you deduct money and food, as long as Mu Ying and Hong Wu don't have any objections, they won't dare to go too far.
If you stink the army, what can they do to resist those barbarians?"
"You are not like a soldier, but more like a stupid politician." Ye Ze mocked: "In your eyes, power is much more important than the lives of soldiers and civilians, right?"
"Only soldiers are soldiers, and generals are politicians in military uniforms." Ye Yu did not pay attention to Ye Ze's tone, and said sadly: "How can there be any pure soldiers in my position?"
Ye Ze was silent for a moment and said, "You should have known about the barbarians' big move."
"Did Yan Queluo tell you?" Ye Yu smiled: "This is top secret, she really set a big trick on you.
Yes, I have found some changes in the major barbarian tribes, and I have also made preparations. As long as the barbarians move, they will know how important the Ye family is to the empire!"
"Haha, yes, you will also know how stupid you are when the time comes." Yeze snorted and said, "Let's be honest, Yanqueluo didn't tell me anything. It was Lan Tong who told me about the barbarians.
of."
"Blue eyes?!" Ye Yu's eyes narrowed.
As the number one figure in the military, he naturally knows what kind of person Lan Tong is.
"Looking at your reaction, your intelligence system is obviously not as strong as the Mu family." Ye Ze said: "Lantong had penetrated into the empire half a year ago. When I first arrived in the Southern Continent, the Mu family was still robbing and killing him.
It's a coincidence that he was saved by me."
"The Mu family probably wants to use the blue pupil to increase their chips." Ye Yu's eyes flickered again and again, and he asked with a bit of expectation: "What do you mean, do you have the blue pupil in your hands?"
"That guy is my friend. Don't try to get any ideas from him." Ye Ze glanced at Ye Yu playfully and said, "However, I can consider letting you meet him. Let him tell you personally how the barbarians are.
Prepare for a full-scale invasion of the Nanyan Empire."
Ye Yu shuddered and said in a deep voice: "Watch your words!!"
Harassment of the Nanyan Empire by barbarians has long been a common occurrence. If they don't do it once a year, Ye Yu will never get used to it. There are also large-scale invasions, and there are even cases of capturing a certain city. However, after the looting is completed, they will
They retreated quickly. The next step was for the empire to send out money and troops to rescue prisoners in different ways to save face and so on.
However, the concepts of harassment and invasion are different. A full-scale invasion means occupation and a real war. With the abilities of the barbarians, neither Ye Yu nor Mu Ying thought they were that bold.
"If you listen to what I say, you might think that my words are too subtle..."
Ye Yu was still deep in thought, but Ye Ze did not intend to give him too much time to think, and continued to make explosive revelations. He selectively told Ye Yu about the existence of the mastermind behind the scenes, as well as his various speculations.
"I know you don't believe it. After dawn, you can go to the Tianxiang Building of Tulip Headquarters. Lan Tong will be waiting for you there." Yeze said with a slightly sarcastic tone: "You are also a marshal. There should be many ways to verify what he said.
some things."
Ye Yu was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I will go."
Ye Yu paused and then asked: "If according to you, there are some people behind the scenes, who could they be? The Beishang Empire is the most suspicious, but you said those people also seem to want to plot against them..."
"I want to know too." Yeze shrugged and said, "If you find out, remember to tell me. I also have accounts to settle with those guys."
It is not easy to convince Ye Yu. Using Guderian is a trick. Only by rising to the level of the empire can we hope to convince him.
"I will go see Lan Tong, but I have to say it first." Ye Yu said: "Even if the barbarians come out in full force, the empire will not be broken. This cannot be the reason for me to hand over military power."
"I know." Ye Ze hesitated and said, "I won't make any big claims, but if you really think about the family, you'd better consider it carefully. I suggest that the Ye family can be inherited from the Dark Ages to today.
What it relies on, you know better than me.
Barbarians will not threaten the survival of the Nanyan Empire, but they will make the people suffer. Even if you say you are a politician, you cannot get rid of your identity as a soldier.
The duty of the military is not only to protect the country. Home! In front of the country. Soldiers and civilians all have families. If their homes are gone, how can the country be called a country?
At that time, thousands of people, even the soldiers below, will point their fingers at your back, Ye Yu, and scold you. The Ye family will really fall!"
After saying that, Ye Ze turned around and walked out without looking back, and walked over the wall.
Looking at Ye Ze's disappearing back, Ye Yu was in a daze.
When he first entered the military training as a young man, another person said similar words to him.
"You are a soldier, a soldier who goes out to the Ye family. You can be cold and ruthless, but you must never forget what you are protecting!!"
The person who said this was Ye Feng.
After Ye Feng rebelled from the empire, he was almost portrayed as a public enemy. However, except among the nobles, whether they were lower-level soldiers or ordinary people, few people said anything bad about Ye Feng. Even now, Ye Feng still enjoys a certain status in the army.
Prestige. His men even gave up their bright future and ran to rescue him.
Ye Yu used to be confused about this, but now he seems to understand.
Ye Yu was in a daze for a moment and murmured: "He betrayed everything. The only thing he didn't betray was his identity as a soldier..."
……………………
The next day, Ye Yu arrived at Tulip headquarters.
Tulip does not get involved in political disputes, but has a good relationship with the powerful. Therefore, many powerful people who don't like noisy often go to Tianxiang Tower. Ye Yu goes there without arousing suspicion from others.
But when Ye Yu arrived, he saw someone he didn't expect.
After being led into a room, Hong Wu actually sat inside.
……………………
Last night, after Ye Ze left Ye's house, he went directly to Hong Wu's place as if he was rushing to a party.
Ye Ze didn't have much friendship with Hong Wu, and they were not as casual as they were at Ye's house. When they met, Hong Wu, who had not yet fallen asleep, greeted him with a tea bowl.
Hong Wu became the chief of general staff by relying on his brains, and his strength was very poor. After being easily subdued by Ye Ze, he grabbed his neck and said a lot.
Of course, Yeze did not mention Guderian about Hongwu, but only told him about the barbarians, and said that when they met at Tianxiang Tower after dawn, he would provide evidence to convince him.
Maybe because he didn't have a chance to refute at night, Hong Wu not only came, but he arrived earlier than Ye Yu.
Although the two major military leaders often interacted with each other in daily affairs, in private, the two of them almost never got along alone. They were both a little uncomfortable seeing each other in a place like this.
Just when Ye Yu wanted to turn around and leave, he was stopped by a young man with blond hair.
"Marshal Ye, don't leave in a hurry."
"Who are you?" Ye Yu frowned.
"Guderian." The young man smiled: "However, you may be more familiar with my other name, Lan Tong..." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Piaotian Literature Register Member to recommend this work
