Chapter 205: Silent move!

After hearing Ye Dong's words, Ye Mingsheng's expression did not change. After pondering for a few seconds, he said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, Master Huo. I have something urgent to do today. Let's practice another day!"

"Master Ye is too polite. Military affairs are more important!"

"Master Huo, if you don't have anything urgent to do, you might as well stay in Fengshan County for a while. Ye has a lot of things he wants to ask you!"

Looking at Huo Xiaoli who always seemed to be so calm and composed, Ye Mingsheng said in a deep voice:

Facing Ye Mingsheng's gaze, Huo Xiaoli smiled and nodded:
"it is good!"

After bowing to Huo Xiaoli, Ye Mingsheng followed Ye Dong back to the study, where Lin Huaiwu was already waiting for him.

"grown ups!"

Seeing Ye Mingsheng returning, Lin Huaiwu stood up respectfully and greeted him.

"sit down!"

Ye Mingsheng waved at Lin Huaiwu indifferently, then returned to the armchair behind his desk. Only after Ye Mingsheng sat down did Lin Huaiwu dare to sit down again.

"What happened?" Looking at his trusted subordinate, Ye Mingsheng asked calmly:

"Your Excellency, He Jingyun found me last night and asked me to arrange for his men to join the army as chief officers. I wanted to inform you immediately, but it was already late last night and I was afraid of disturbing your rest, so I came now."

Lin Huaiwu bowed to Ye Mingsheng and reported:

Upon hearing the news, Ye Mingsheng, who was sitting on the armchair, narrowed his glasses slightly, thought for a few seconds, and said lightly:

"What are your plans for this matter?"

"This is a serious matter. I dare not make the decision. Please make the decision, sir!" Before Ye Mingsheng finished speaking, Lin Huaiwu gave the answer.

Feeling Lin Huaiwu's attitude, Ye Mingsheng's expression softened and he said lightly:

"You did very well!"

"Thank you for your praise, sir. I understand that everything I have now is given by you, sir!" Lin Huaiwu expressed his loyalty decisively:
Although Lin Huaiwu's flattery was a bit corny, it was indeed quite pleasant to listen to. However, Ye Mingsheng did not dwell on this point, but continued to ask:

"Did He Jingyun tell you about the specific arrangements for those people?"

"He said that he wanted Guan Fei to be the captain and Han Mengzi to be the captain..." Lin Huaiwu recalled and said:
After hearing these eight names one by one, Ye Mingsheng raised his eyebrows and asked:
"Didn't He Jingyun arrange for Xun Ke?"

Although Xun Ke followed He Jingyun, he never deliberately showed his talents in front of Ye Mingsheng.

However, with the help of Shen Jianzhong and An Zhirong, Ye Mingsheng had already figured out all the situations of the dozen or so old subordinates around He Jingyun. Because of this, Ye Mingsheng had already keenly noticed this wise general around He Jingyun.

Hearing Ye Mingsheng's question, Lin Huaiwu recalled it again, and then said with certainty: "No!"

After getting this answer, Ye Mingsheng showed a playful smile on his face, and then he opened his mouth and ordered;
"Assign him three positions as captains and place them in different places. The remaining five people will be transferred to some unoccupied positions. As for Xun Ke, he will be promoted to the position of sentry leader. You will be in charge of the command personally!"

"Go back and tell He Jingyun that if Xun Ke is not allowed to come out, then there will be no position for any of the three captains!"

"Yes!"

Understanding Ye Mingsheng's intention, Lin Huaiwu nodded heavily.

After finishing the business talk with Ye Mingsheng, he asked about Lin Huaiwu's food, accommodation and transportation in Fengshan County. After listening to Lin Huaiwu's report on the training of the local militia, he asked Ye Dong to send Lin Huaiwu away.

After calming his mind, Ye Mingsheng opened the drawer of his desk and took out a list. If He Jingyun appeared in Ye Mingsheng's study at this time and saw this list, he would be shocked. This list clearly recorded the hometowns, resumes, and life stories of all the seventeen old subordinates who came with him.

After scanning Xun Ke's message again, Ye Mingsheng showed a sneer.

He Jingyun is more tolerant than he thought, but now he can no longer hide his fox tail after all··············
Ye Mingsheng was still satisfied with He Jingyun's ability, because Lin Huaiwu, Ye Tie and others were indeed mediocre in training soldiers, and this was He Jingyun's strong point. Therefore, Ye Mingsheng decided to train the new recruits with He Jingyun as the main person and Yuan Song as the auxiliary.

It has to be said that He Jingyun is really capable and did not disappoint Ye Mingsheng. In just over a month, he has transformed these farmers, miners, and hunters.

Ye Mingsheng once hoped that if He Jingyun had no second thoughts, he would definitely become the sharpest spear in his hand and conquer cities for him...
Unfortunately, things went against our wishes!
Although Ye Mingsheng now has to guard against He Jingyun's evil intentions, he also wants to use his talents to strengthen himself, and this involves a problem.

If you want the horse to run fast, you have to feed it grass and give it something sweet to taste, so that it will have the motivation to continue to shine for its great cause.

Compared with Ye Mingsheng's current strength, the three airborne leaders are not worth mentioning at all...

Despite this, Ye Mingsheng still did not intend to satisfy He Jingyun so easily. He wanted to plant a bomb in He Jingyun's heart!

A thunder named Xun Ke!
Ye Mingsheng has been secretly observing Xun Ke for a long time, and now is the time to make a move!

Not long after this matter was dealt with, Ye Mingsheng’s study welcomed a new guest - Ye Tie.

When he came in front of Ye Mingsheng, Ye Tie told Ye Mingsheng everything about his conversation with Guo Zhiping during the day without hiding anything.

After listening carefully to Ye Tie's story, Ye Mingsheng thought for a while and asked:
"Ye Tie, do you know who these two uncles of Guo Zhiping are?"

"His second uncle is called Sun Changhai, and his third uncle is called Niu Kaiyuan. They have been with Guo Zhanshan for decades. When they followed Guo Zhanshan, they were excluded and humiliated by the Liaoyang government troops. Later, they followed Guo Zhanshan back to Jiukongya Mountain Stronghold and became bandits again."

"Because of this experience, both of them are very wary of the government troops. Although they are not in charge of things these years because of their age, they still have great prestige in Jiukongya Mountain Stronghold. In addition, their sons also control part of the troops!" Ye Tie, who was familiar with the situation, did not hesitate to introduce directly:

Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly when he heard this, and then asked casually:

"Do you think Guo Zhiping can accomplish this?"
