Chapter 372: The courage of Zhenwu Army!

In this world, some people love money, some love beauty, and some love fame...

In this society where officials are the most important, people have a very strong yearning for officials, especially those from the grassroots. The more humble their origins, the more they want to change their origins and become officials to gain power!

Huo San is the representative of this kind of people. Ye Mingsheng only needs to go with the flow and satisfy his desire to make him work for him wholeheartedly!
In addition, Ye Mingsheng’s promotion of Huo San this time was not in vain. Ye Mingsheng had already hinted it to him in his words just now. I believe that with Huo San’s intelligence, he will be able to figure it out after returning and savoring it carefully!
Ye Mingsheng has comprehensive considerations for the Coordination Office. The current Coordination Office is a bit too large, and it is responsible for both internal corruption and external military espionage. If it is not restricted, it will definitely become a major hidden danger for the Fengzhou military regime in the future. History has proved countless times that if the intelligence department is given too much power, it will never be a good thing for the stability of the regime!
This time, arranging Wang Xuecheng into the Coordination Office to dilute Huo San's power in the Coordination Office is the first step of Ye Mingsheng's plan to reorganize the Coordination Office in the future. Now that there are strong enemies on the side, Ye Mingsheng needs the Coordination Office to contribute to his victory over the Zhenwu Army, so at this time the Coordination Office must remain stable and cannot attack them...
When the surrounding area becomes more stable in the future, Ye Mingsheng will start to split up the Coordination Office. He plans to split it into two agencies, one responsible for monitoring officials and military violations of law and discipline internally, and the other responsible for spying on military intelligence and gathering information externally.

Of course, this is just Ye Mingsheng’s plan and needs to be carried out step by step. We can’t act too hastily!
Isn't there such a sentence?
It is said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish!

Although Ye Mingsheng's current power is far behind that of a big country, it would still be easy for him to retreat if he takes a big step!

Seven days passed in a flash. During these seven days, there were frequent minor frictions between the Fengzhou Army and the Zhenwu Army on the front lines of Lelang and Xuantu, and the war was on the verge of breaking out. At the same time, Ye Mingsheng was not idle during this period. He was busy urging the frontline soldiers to build fortifications and guard against possible attacks from the Zhenwu Army at any time, while actively preparing for the various matters of marrying An Miaoyi.

At this moment, a piece of important news about the Zhenwu Army was delivered to him!
With the joint efforts of all the famous doctors in Dongning Prefecture, Chen Dechang, the commander of the Zhenwu Army, finally woke up after three days of coma. Although he woke up, the anger this time also caused Chen Dechang to suffer a great loss of vitality. He became listless and did not have much energy to deal with things.

Therefore, the affairs of the Zhenwu Army are now probably handled by Wang Muzhi and Gongsun Heng. Wang Muzhi is mainly responsible for military affairs, while Gongsun Heng is mainly responsible for government affairs, appeasing local gentry and providing the Zhenwu Army with food, military pay, civilian laborers and other things.

At a recent Zhenwu Army meeting, someone proposed a bold plan because they felt that the Zhenwu Army was facing serious financial and logistical problems. That was to temporarily suspend the offensive against the Fengzhou Army. In addition to retaining the necessary forces to deal with the Fengzhou Army, they would concentrate their forces to attack Guangning Prefecture where the Cui family was located.

For this reason, they would not hesitate to give up Dongning Prefecture. The purpose was to capture the Cui family as soon as possible to obtain the money and grain accumulated by the Cui family for generations, so as to alleviate the financial difficulties of the Zhenwu Army in the later period...
After browsing the contents of the letter, Ye Mingsheng closed his eyes and pondered, thinking about how this news would change the situation once it became a reality. After a moment, he had a general idea in his mind, opened his eyes and asked the middle-aged scholar in front of him who was wearing a brand new official robe:

"How reliable do you think this news is?"

Hearing Ye Mingsheng's question, Wang Xuecheng, who had just taken office as deputy director of the Coordination Office, answered very cautiously:

"Your Excellency, we just received this news and have not yet confirmed its authenticity. Because it is a serious matter, Director Huo has already gone to Xuantu City to contact the spy to confirm whether the news is reliable!"

"Although we are still not sure whether the news is true, because this news is very important, Director Huo and I have discussed and decided to report it to you immediately!"

Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly. He still agreed with Huo San and Wang Xuecheng's approach. No matter whether this matter was true or not, he should tell himself first so that he could be prepared. Even if it was not true, he still needed to be prepared just in case...
The core of Gu Sansi's strategy of exchanging space for time and fighting a war of attrition with the Zhenwu Army was that he had the Cui family as his wet nurse, providing a steady supply of blood transfusions to the Fengzhou Army.

Once the Zhenwu Army kills the Cui family and seizes all the money and food, the offensive and defensive situation will change instantly!
It was not the Zhenwu Army that was eager to fight a decisive battle, but Ye Mingsheng's Fengzhou Army! It must be said that the person who came up with this plan was really very strategic and bold!

They were willing to give up Dongning Prefecture, which the Zhenwu Army had sacrificed countless lives to capture, and also wanted to capture Guangning Prefecture. This was indeed something that required great courage.

Although the problem is very tricky and serious, after all, Ye Mingsheng already knew about it in advance and was able to make some preparations in advance, so there is still room for things to turn around...
"Confirm the truth of this news as soon as possible. Also, pay close attention to the deployment of the Zhenwu Army. If there is anything unusual, report it immediately!"

"Yes!" Wang Xuecheng nodded seriously:

After giving the order, Ye Mingsheng looked at Wang Xuecheng and asked:

"How about working under Huo San at the Coordination Office?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuecheng cupped his hands and said:

"I have learned a lot from you, Lord Huo. I am very grateful for this opportunity. I will do my best to assist Director Huo in doing a good job in the work of the Coordination Office."

Ye Mingsheng nodded and said, "Stay with Huo San and learn well. I will be of great use to you in the future!"

Wang Xuecheng's eyes flashed with brilliance when he heard this. He bowed deeply to Ye Mingsheng and said:

"Thank you, sir. I will live up to your trust after I finish my studies!"

"very good!"

After saying this, Ye Mingsheng briefly chatted with Wang Xuecheng about family matters, and after winning over Wang Xuecheng, he asked him to go back to work. Wang Xuecheng would be an important chess piece in his next split of the Coordination Office, but now this chess piece has not been needed yet...
