Chapter 10 Ins and Outs (2)
First of all, after the war, there were originally 80,000 troops left in the harem capital. In order to prepare for possible sneak attacks by the Luobi people in winter, Xu Zhaojie sent 50,000 strong men from the 80,000 palace capital troops, including the original 20,000 standing troops, to
They were transferred to Wanfeng Mansion to hold on to the front line, leaving only 30,000 people behind.
Although the number of the 30,000 people left behind seems large, more than 80% were recently recruited. A few months ago, they were farmers or handicraftsmen, lacking training and equipment, and in the end,
The important thing is that there are old, weak, sick and disabled among them, ranging from sixty to fifteen, so you can imagine their fighting strength!
Secondly, the 30,000 Gongdu troops who stayed behind were not gathered together, but were scattered among dozens of towns of various sizes behind the Gongdu Kingdom. It took a lot of time to gather together, and not long after the war ended, Gongdu
Everyone in the capital was still immersed in the joy of countering the rebellion, and their rear combat preparations were lax. They had no idea that their allies, the Forbidden Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, would raid them!
The two thousand soldiers and horses under Wang Kangxin and Li Wanshun are all battle-hardened and well-equipped tiger and wolf divisions of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If they are calculated mentally or not, they might not be able to sneak attack and capture the Luochuan Road granary and control this.
The main source of supplies for all armies in the palace.
The reinforcements from Liujing that Ye Mingsheng wants to block will not exceed 8,000 at most. Although it is not possible to win in a field battle outside the city, there is basically no problem if they are well prepared and attack in the city.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Kangxin and Li Wanshun were very sure that they could get Ye Mingsheng to join their plan.
But what Wang and Li never expected was that for their ambitious plan, the original owner was very straightforward and rejected them without hesitation. He allowed the two of them to make wild claims, but the original owner was still
Unmoved, the two people had no choice but to say a few harsh words and left angrily...
The reason why the original owner rejected Wang and Li's plan is not complicated. First of all, although the three of them are also from Zhaowu Camp, from a factional point of view, the three of them do belong to the same faction in the army, but their relationship is not the same.
Well, even when they were in Zhaowu Camp, Ye Mingsheng and Li Wanshun had some minor disputes because of their jealousy.
Secondly, although the original owner is not a smart man, he is not stupid either. He is very clear about the serious consequences of disobeying military orders and starting a private war in this matter, and how much risk he needs to bear. If he is not careful, he will confiscate his family and exterminate his family.
What's more important is that even if the matter is successful, when the reward is given based on merit, his contribution is far less than that of Wang and Li who attacked the granary of Luochuan Road. Therefore, he took the risk of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan, but the harvest was not that great. The original owner
After thinking about it in my mind, I naturally rejected Wang and Li's plan.
What happened before is no longer important. The most important thing is to look forward. Ye Mingsheng needs to find a way to get out of the current predicament.
Ye Mingsheng has been thinking about it these days, and has gradually come to understand the whole incident. It seems that Wang Kangxin and Li Wanshun, two ambitious military attachés of the Forbidden Army, are taking the lead in this matter. But behind the incident, there is a high probability that
But the Supervision Department is taking the lead, and Wang and Li are just pawns pushed to the front.
Just think about it, everyone knows how serious the crime of disobeying military orders and starting a private war is. Although Wang Kangxin and Li Wanshun are not timid people, they are not to the point of being crazy. If there is no one behind them to support them, both of them will
One would never dare to risk beheading to do such a thing.
Realizing this, Ye Mingsheng suddenly thought of the rumors about the party struggle between Shangguan Hongyuan, the chief assistant of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Xungui Group. He seemed to understand something and shuddered all over.
If he thought correctly, the Supervision Department was probably a pawn behind this matter...
After a moment, Ye Mingsheng shook his head fiercely, as if to drive some thoughts out of his mind. He was now just a seventh-grade forbidden army commander, commanding more than a thousand people. The battles between the big shots in the temple, and
Now he doesn't have a dime in the relationship. His most important thing now is to ensure his own safety.

Three days later, March 13th.
Wang Kangxin and Li Wanshun, who were simply dressed in simple clothes, quietly came to Ruishan County with only a few confidants. Once they entered the county, the two of them, with their men, went straight to where Ye Mingsheng was.
Liu Mansion.
As the captain of the soldiers, Ye Tie, after settling down the two men and the men they brought, went to the study room in the backyard and reported to Ye Mingsheng, who was closing his eyes to rest:
"Master, Wang, and Li are already here, everything is ready!"
Hearing the two names "Li Wanshun, Wang Kangxin", Ye Mingsheng opened his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He didn't say much, just nodded, and then stepped out of the bedroom and towards the front of the house.
He walked towards the hospital, and Ye Tie, who was the captain of the soldiers behind him, followed him step by step.
Because this Liu Mansion was originally the residence of wealthy businessmen in the city, it occupies a very large area. In addition, Ye Mingsheng deliberately walked slowly, so it took him a long time to walk from the backyard.
We arrived at the reception room in the front yard.
"Master Ye, you are finally here. Brother Wang and I came here in person. It's okay if you don't go out to greet us. You actually made the two of us wait here for almost half a stick of incense. It's really a big deal.
ah!"
As soon as Ye Mingsheng stepped into the living room, he saw Li Wanshun, who was tall and tall and tall and thick, sitting at the Eight Immortals table in the living room. He was wearing casual clothes and hanging a wild goose-wing knife on his waist, and he started to act strangely.
"Brother Wang, Brother Li, I'm sorry that I'm late due to busy military affairs. I hope you won't take it personally!"
Ye Mingsheng turned a blind eye to Li Wanshun's dissatisfaction. Although he said "Brother Li, Brother Wang", his eyes were focused on the man sitting opposite Li Wanshun, who was also wearing casual clothes and looked gentle and elegant.
Wang Kangxin, the white-faced scholar, did not even look at Li Wanshun.
Seeing that Ye Mingsheng dared to ignore him, Li Wanshun immediately wanted to have a fit, but just as he was about to speak, he saw Wang Kangxin, the scholar sitting opposite him, give him a look. Then he remembered the purpose of coming here, and
Chapter completed!
