Hearing "There are only more than 400 people left in Ye Mingsheng's army" Fang Jing's eyebrows subconsciously frowned. Although Ye Mingsheng was not his subordinate, because the two of them had close contacts, he knew very well that Ye Mingsheng's battalion

Although it is a newly formed battalion, it does not have as many people as the full strength of 3,000 people, but it still has more than 1,000 people!

These more than a thousand people went on an expedition, but only more than 400 people came back. This is more than 60% of the casualties. So many people were injured and killed, and they were arranged to come back in advance. What does it mean? As a member of the Forbidden Army,

Fang Jing, a senior military attaché, knew everything about it. Thinking of this, a hint of worry appeared in his eyes when he looked at Ye Mingsheng...

In this world, people still value the feelings of fellow villagers. What's more, the Ye family and the Fang family still have some ancestral friendship, so Fang Jing has always taken good care of Ye Mingsheng.

Therefore, when Fang Jing realized that Ye Mingsheng was likely to return defeated and would be questioned, he couldn't help but feel a little worried about Ye Mingsheng.

Feeling the worry in Fang Jing's eyes when he looked at him, Ye Mingsheng was slightly confused. He didn't realize that his words had touched Fang Jing.

Just when Fang Jing considered his words and was about to say something, the housekeeper of Fang Mansion suddenly walked over quietly and spoke in his ear. Although the housekeeper spoke in a low voice, Ye Mingsheng did not hear them.

say what.

But he still saw Fang Jing's reaction. He was a little surprised at first, and then his eyes became complicated. It was obvious that what the housekeeper and Fang Jing said to him had something to do with him.

After the housekeeper finished speaking, he resigned on his own, and Fang Jing took a deep look at Ye Mingsheng, then said with a wry smile: "Mingsheng, you really gave me a big problem.

··········”

Listening to what Fang Jing said, Ye Mingsheng was undoubtedly even more confused. He came to Fang Jing today because he really had a big problem, that is, how to transfer into the Zhenwu Army. But the problem, he had not yet spoken to Fang Jing, Fang Jing

Sutra cannot read minds, but he can understand what he is thinking, so what does he mean by this?

Seeing Ye Mingsheng's confused look, Fang Jing said simply:

"The pearl spring in Guiyun Tower and the pastries in Puning Square, these things may not cost you a few months of salary, right? Please tell me carefully, what is your situation now, and what is going on with the Ministry of War and your Xuanwu Army?"

Said?"

"Your subordinates suffered such heavy casualties. I think it is impossible to escape guilt, but I will try my best to deal with it for you!"

Hearing Fang Jing's words, Ye Mingsheng suddenly realized what Fang Jing had to say. He was also a little touched immediately. In official circles, it is already very good if he does not add insult to injury. Like Fang Jing, he thought he was in trouble and wanted to pull him out.

A handful can be said to be very rare.

"Thank you, Uncle Fang Shi, for your kindness. However, I came back this time not to be blamed for the defeat. The reason why our troops suffered such heavy casualties was because of the surprise attack on Liujing and then being surrounded and beaten by tens of thousands of troops from the palace for several days.

On the way back home, they were attacked by Japanese pirates again, so there are only so many people left..." Ye Mingsheng spread his hands and said helplessly:

Although Ye Mingsheng spoke concisely and to the point, mentioning many details in one stroke, but after reading the military war report, he naturally understood the difficulties and dangers involved. He looked a little shocked and said in disbelief:

"The first unit of the Xuanmu Army that was mentioned in the battle report as having a surprise attack on Ryugyong, is that you Mingsheng?"

Facing Fang Jing's gaze, Ye Mingsheng nodded, and then explained again:

"I was guarding Seosan County in the palace capital. It is the transportation hub connecting the north and south of the palace capital, and it is also the unit closest to Ryugyong, so this matter naturally fell on me...

··”

After hearing Ye Mingsheng's explanation, Fang Jing's shocked expression eased, but he still looked a little unbelievable. He had seen the battle report from the Ministry of War. A battalion of lightly armed soldiers galloped for hundreds of miles. Not only did they attack at night,

Capture the enemy's capital.

He also successfully blocked the counterattack of the Gongdu army that was several times his own, and successfully persisted until reinforcements arrived, laying a solid foundation for the Zhou army to later sweep the Gongdu.

There is no doubt that this is definitely an operation performed by a famous general and will be recorded in history!

The war report from the Ministry of War not only caused quite a stir among the Forbidden Army, but was also rumored to have been personally praised by Chief Assistant Shangguan Hongyuan for his skillful command and extraordinary bravery.

Because the battle report did not mention who was the general who commanded this operation, everyone in the Forbidden Army is now talking about who this brave general is. Some even boldly speculate that it was Xu Zhaojie, the commander of the Xuanwu Army, who personally commanded this operation.

action.

Regarding the Forbidden Army general who commanded this operation, Fang Jing was naturally curious about who this person was. In his impression, the Xuanwu Forbidden Army, which was similar to the Hujie Forbidden Army, except for the very capable commander Xu Zhaojie, the others seemed to be

I don’t have such awesome skills...

He never thought that this person who he had not thought about would be his fellow countryman Ye Mingsheng. He had known Ye Mingsheng for a long time. How many kilograms did Ye Mingsheng have? Fang Jing asked himself that he was still very worried.

clearly.

In his opinion, Ye Mingsheng was undoubtedly at the lower-middle level among the ranks of the Forbidden Army military attachés, both in terms of his personal martial prowess and his ability to command and fight.

Shangguan Hongyuan praised him for his skillful command and extraordinary bravery. Otherwise, he would not have thought that Ye Mingsheng returned in defeat and suffered heavy casualties, and would be prosecuted by the Ministry of War.

·············

Seeing Fang Jing's disbelief, Ye Mingsheng, who knew what he was thinking, smiled bitterly. This matter involved the imperial party struggle, the contest between the chief assistant Shangguan Hongyuan and the noble family, he really didn't want to

What does Haohe Fang Jing explain?

Although it is still hard to believe, Fang Jing, who is familiar with Ye Mingsheng's character, also knows that although Ye Mingsheng has no ability, he is not a person who likes to talk big.

Moreover, the truth about this matter will be revealed after a while, when the Xuanwu Army squadron returns to the court and rewards are given based on merit. If you pretend to be cool now, it will be very ugly to be slapped in the face.

Therefore, Fang Jing did not doubt the authenticity of what Ye Mingsheng said. When his mind gradually calmed down, Fang Jing looked at Ye Mingsheng with some doubts and asked Ye Mingsheng again:

"You really gave me a big surprise, but since you didn't come back in defeat, why would you, Mingsheng, come to see me with such a heavy gift? Don't tell me that you have nothing to do with me...
