The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 193 Mr. Ye is a civil servant, so he doesn’t respect martial ethics, and Zhu Yuanzhang is crazy again!

In Nai'er Buhua's eyes, the two deputy envoys were kneeling on the ground and shivering, not daring to raise their heads.

One of the deputy envoys also held up a beautifully crafted gift box with both hands.

It's just that his seemingly strong and strong arms can only hold up such a medium-sized gift box, as if it were holding a hundred kilograms of weight.

If he hadn't clasped the edge of the gift box with his fingers, the gift box would have definitely shaken off!
Nai'erbuhua looked at the gift box, which was just big enough to hold a human head, and then looked around again. After confirming that Mahamu was not around, he had already made a rough guess.

But he still subconsciously asked: "Where are the Mahamu people?"

"What's in this gift box?"

The deputy's voice trembled: "Mahamu's head is here, and his body is outside."

When Nai'er Buhua heard this, he actually already knew what was going on, but he still forced himself to calm down and took the gift box.

After opening the box, he only saw a human head with the blood stains washed off and arranged carefully, with the face facing upward.

Although the skin of the 17-year-old grassland boy is not as good as that of the Central Plains people, he still looks very young, but there is no trace of blood.

Not only that, there was a note the size of a talisman taped to his forehead.

The note read: "I am a scholar, so I don't care about martial ethics. I specialize in killing envoys. If you want to hit me, hit me. If you don't want me, I will kill you the next time I come."

Signed: "Ye Qing, magistrate of Yanmen County!"

The two Beiyuan deputy envoys looked up secretly and saw Nai'er Buhua holding the box, frozen there.

The corners of Nai'er Buhua's mouth trembled, and the pair of eyes that slowly looked in the direction of Yanmen Pass were rapidly covered with red bloodshot eyes.

When he looked in the direction of Yanmen Pass, his eyes were already completely scarlet, like a rabid wolf!
As long as there is any disturbance, this crazy wolf will attack quickly and will never let go until it bites the opponent to pieces!
At this very moment,
The other generals in the camp also rushed out. After they saw this scene, they exploded on the spot.

"Shameless!"

"This Ye Qing is so shameless."

"General, let's attack. We have [-] elite troops stationed outside the east gate, [-] elite troops stationed outside the west gate, and [-] elite troops stationed outside the middle gate. If we attack at the same time, they will definitely panic."

"After they were beaten in, the young and strong men and young women were snatched away, and all the old, weak, women and children were killed."

"Take it away, we want to occupy this wealthy city, not for looting."

"."

Nai'er Buhua ignored them and just walked straight out.

at last,

He saw Mahamu's body!

Looking at the scene in front of him, although he wanted to chop Ye Qing into pieces and feed it to the dogs, he had to say that Master Ye was a very particular person.

Not only did he put the head in a gift box, but the headless body on the horse-drawn cart was also tied with colorful ribbons, especially the big red flower on the chest, which looked very much like that.

If this was not a headless human corpse, but half a freshly killed New Year pig, it would really be a gift!
It's a pity that the gift box is not filled with wax pig heads, and the horse-drawn cart is not filled with Chinese New Year pigs!

Seeing this scene, the generals not only clamored to attack, but also tried to mobilize their own troops without listening to the orders.

"stop!"

"Everyone returns to their respective camps. No one is allowed to act without authorization. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!"

"Everything will be decided by His Highness King Qi!"

After Nai'er Buhua gritted her teeth and said this, she returned to her tent with the gift box in her arms, and even had someone pull the body in.

inside the tent,

Nai'er Buhua looked at the corpse tied with colorful ribbons and big red flowers on the trolley, as well as the gift box next to it. He subconsciously wanted to reach out and make Mahamu's head unite, but in the end he endured it!
There is no other reason,

Just because Wang Baobao would arrive tomorrow morning with an army of 25, he just wanted Wang Baobao to see how Master Ye, who only heard his name but never saw his person, treated his beloved disciple.

If Wang Baobao had not been considered, given his temper, he would have ordered an attack on the city.

But his remaining sanity still allowed him to hold back.

As a general who was defeated in the Central Plains, as a general who had lived in the pass and read Chinese military books, he still knew some about the art of war.

At least when he was so angry, he still remembered the saying 'if a general loses an order, his army will be destroyed'!
Another is that as a vanguard army, they did not bring many siege equipment. If they attacked the city rashly and started fighting on three sides, they would not be sure of winning it in one fell swoop.

Not only that, he was also unsure of Ye Qing's purpose for doing this.

Is Ye Qing really just being willful?

Is a man who built a poor borderland into a wealthy city in just three years really a willful and brainless person?
A person who established a 'special agent brigade' and had their spies never come back, really doesn't know anything about fighting?

If he were Ye Qing, he would definitely not anger the enemy in such a humiliating way. He would definitely delay as much time as possible until Xu Da led the imperial army to come to the rescue!
Knowing that he only has four guards and still provoking them like this is definitely not something a smart person would do!
Even if you don't understand the art of war, you should be able to understand this simple truth!

His intuition told him that Ye Qing must have a purpose for doing such an extremely unreasonable thing!

"Stimulus method?"

"Inspire me to quickly tackle the problem?"

"We took advantage of their harvest carnival night and sent out hundreds of spies at the same time, but only five came back."

"The fact that they worked so hard to catch the spies is enough to prove that the information we detected is true. There are indeed flaws in their defenses and their equipment is also old."

"It's enough to show that Mr. Ye is greedy for so much money, but he didn't spend it on the army."

"But if that's the case, where does he have the confidence to provoke us like this?"

"." Just like that, Nai'er frowned and began to think deeply.

The more he thought about it in detail, the calmer he became, and the calmer he became, the more detailed his thinking became. But because of this, his heart became more and more conflicted and uncertain.

So in the end, he just gave up thinking and waited until Wang Baobao came!
Anyway, Wang Baobao and his 25 troops will arrive tomorrow morning, so they won’t have to wait much longer!

Thinking of this, Nai'er Buhua just looked in the direction of Yanmenguan, her eyes narrowed to a slit, and her eyes kept beating.

"Ye Qing,"

"No matter what your purpose is, as soon as His Highness King Qi arrives and my army's baggage arrives, your Yanmen County will be destroyed and everyone will die."

"I want you to die a hundred times worse than Mahamu!"

As soon as Nai'er Fuhua finished speaking, he punched the panel of the cart where Mahamu's body lay.

At three quarters past midnight that night,

At this time, it was not yet dark in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the setting sun and sunset were still hanging on the sky, but here in the border fortress, night had already fallen.

In the dining room of Ye Qing's mansion located in the back office of the county government, a banquet with seven large tables was set up.

Under the candlelight, these large round tables can be said to be filled with chicken, duck, and fish, and all of them are high-quality ingredients that are full of color, flavor, and flavor.

It truly looks like art and tastes like cooking.

It can also be said that if a high-ranking official in the capital dares to openly eat and drink like this, he will be severely punished by Zhu Yuanzhang!
After the meal was ready, the housekeeper Shen Waner went straight to the combat command room.

In the combat command room,

Ye Qing was sitting on the commander's seat. He looked at everyone who looked exhausted and said, "This is the tactic. It's not difficult."

"But starting tomorrow, everyone still has to perform their duties and be sure to run their own errands!"

"According to our intelligence, Wang Baobao and his 25 troops will arrive tomorrow morning, which can be regarded as officially entering wartime status."

"While everyone is here, I'll treat you all to dinner!"

Zhu Yuanzhang, Mao Xiang and the generals did not find it strange. They just thanked him and readily agreed.

Especially Zhu Yuanzhang, he would treat the generals to dinner before every war, so he didn't think there was any problem.

It’s just that he finds it a bit incredible!

If he were Ye Qing, after giving him such a big gift, he would have immediately prepared for war!
But he, Ye Qing, was on the good side. The east and west gates were still well defended, but the defense of the middle gate was obviously flawless. The equipment was obviously old, and there was no intention of letting them change their equipment!

Isn't he worried that others will get angry and attack him at night?
You are still in the mood to entertain the generals, so you are not afraid of getting drunk and causing trouble?

On the way to the dining room,
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the handsome Ye Qing and stepped forward directly to ask, "Sir, if you send such a big gift, aren't you afraid of enemy night attacks?"

Ye Qing habitually wanted to embarrass this part-time imperial envoy who was a huge fan of Zhu Yuanzhang, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it.

It’s better not to be too immoral!
After all, Mr. Guo was also the general he invited, even though he only had the function of witnessing Ye Qing's fighting skills!

Ye Qing smiled lightly and said: "They came so quickly just to set up camp first, so that the foreign merchants who could not leave in time would put pressure on me, forcing me to switch off and let them go home, and then take the opportunity to attack the city."

"For the sake of marching speed, they did not bring siege equipment."

"Today's Yanmenguan city wall has been raised to four feet. It is difficult to build a city with siege equipment, let alone without siege equipment."

"He only has [-] cavalry who are good at field combat. He doesn't have the guts."

"Of course, even if he really doesn't care about attacking the city, I will still treat him to a meal and drink. I can even guarantee that after this meal, they will be defeated or dead!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qing decisively turned around and headed towards the dining room.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ye Qing's still handsome back and felt unbelievable!

The tactics just discussed are all for the siege of the city after the enemy's 30 troops have arrived, and there are no tactics for night attacks!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of Ye Qing's backup plan.

If he dares to intentionally exploit the easy-to-attack and difficult-to-defend Yanmen Guanzhong Gate, he must be prepared with a back-up plan that is sufficient to deal with it. But what this back-up plan is, he doesn't know yet.

Because of this, he was even more looking forward to what this backhand would be!

"You still eat and drink when the enemy attacks you at night, and you guarantee the enemy's defeat or death?"

"Is it that great?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this, his eyes became conflicted.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he naturally hoped that his army could defeat the enemy at any time.

But a man who needs to control the ministers and the emperor is worried that the ministers are too strong for him to control!
At the door of the dining room,

Ye Qing blocked Mr. Guo in front of him and said: "General Guo, I know that you are a big fan of His Majesty, but you have to know that some generals may not be able to afford food after the war."

"So, the specifications of this meal are a little bit over the standard!"

"You must not go crazy and let everyone have a good meal, okay?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang expressed his dissatisfaction with Ye Qing's eloquence, he agreed to the matter without thinking. It can be said that this was the most refreshing moment since he met Ye Qing.

Seeing how happy he was, Ye Qing decided not to provoke Mr. Guo, who could sue him for the time being, so it was time to have a good meal!
But just after Zhu Yuanzhang saw these dishes, he immediately forgot what he promised.

"Lord Ye,"

"You call this a little over the limit?"

"Your Majesty doesn't even dare to treat guests so extravagantly!"

Ye Qing just rolled his eyes at him and whispered in his ear: "I don't want to say it at the top of my lungs because His Majesty is not richer than me!".
