The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 221 The humble Queen Ma serves Master Ye, plays games with Zhu Yuanzhang, and also plays games with Wang Baobao!
The two saw [-] Northern Yuan troops each outside the east and west gates, all arrayed outside the camp gate, and the formations were almost the same.

Not only that, the war preparations of the Yanmen garrison at the east and west gates were almost the same.

Soon, they focused their attention on the middle gate of Yanmen Pass, which was the most difficult to defend and easy to attack, and the 12 Bei Yuan main force outside the middle gate!

They were surprised to find that the main army outside the Zhongmen showed no signs of forming troops outside the camp.

Not only that, the corresponding defenders of the central gate of Yanmen Pass did not make emergency preparations for the east and west gates. It was as if they knew in advance that the opponent's coach Wang Baobao had the intention to attack the east and west gates first, while the middle gate remained stationary.

From the location of the two of them, although the battle situation between the west gate and the middle gate is not as clear as the nearby east gate, they can still get a general idea.

After all, this is not a small action involving one soldier, but a big action involving thousands of people!
But precisely because of this, they found it very incredible!

They have also been leading troops for many years, and they know that even if they are good at collecting intelligence, they will never be able to get the intelligence from the command rooms of both sides.

At most, they would send someone to take a look, and then analyze the coach's combat intentions from the opponent's marching movements.

But analyzing this kind of thing, even Xu Da can only say that it is [-]% certain, and he dare not say that it is absolutely accurate!
But judging from the current situation, the Yanmen garrison's control of Beiyuan's combat intentions cannot be said to be accurate. It is simply equivalent to the fact that the documents and minutes of the other party's commanding general's account are their own!
But is this possible?

This is absolutely impossible!

The person who can serve as the commander's accountant and recordkeeper must be someone who knows the boss well and will never betray him!
Were Wang Baobao's documents and minutes bought?

Thinking of this, the two of them felt that they had thought too much!

If Wang Baobao's employment skills were so poor, let alone defeating Xu Da once, he would not even be able to escape from Xu Da's hands, let alone become the 'wonderful man in the world' in the words of His Majesty the Emperor.

After the two rejected all possibilities, they focused their thoughts on Ye Qing, who had caused all the Huaixi nobles to die as relatives with just a memorial and a song.

"Is it possible that Ye Qing set a trap for Wang Baobao?"

The middle-aged general's wide eyes were full of disbelief.

The young general also frowned and said, "He set a trap for Wang Baobao and succeeded?"

"is it possible?"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them looked in the direction of the county seat where the county government office was located. Their eyes could be said to be extremely complicated.

They couldn't believe that a young man in his 20s could successfully set up a trap for a world-famous general.

But they can be sure that if they rely solely on intelligence, they will never be able to do this.

But the scene in front of me is enough to prove this point!
If they didn't know Ye Qing at all, they wouldn't have dared to have such a bold idea, but Ye Qing was already famous in the court.

Ye Qing is a person who gives the current Prime Minister Hu Weiyong a headache!
He, Ye Qing, is a person that even the prime minister behind him, Li Shanchang, must treat with caution!
He, Ye Qing, was the one who was thousands of miles away and made all the nobles of Huaixi survive by breaking their arms!
Not only that, Ye Qing is also a person who makes the emperor willing to stay here as a general!

The many resumes here are enough for them to have such bold ideas and enough to make them look forward to it.

In fact, they were once warriors with innocent hearts.

Not to mention the honorable generals, among these border town garrison generals, who among them is not following Xu Da in the Northern Expedition?

In other words, they also made great contributions in the final decisive battle that turned Dayuan into Beiyuan.

At that time, how could they think of forming a clique?
It's just that with their ability now, if they don't follow Huaixi Xungui, they can't continue to hang out, or even survive.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but look forward boldly.

As for how high this expectation can be, we have to see the results before we say it!

But they can be sure that if he, Ye Qing, can achieve a miraculous victory and gain a place in the court, these border town garrison generals who were ordered to come will more or less turn to hang out with him, Ye Qing. .

In other words, the generals stationed in the four prefectures of Datong, Taiyuan, Pingyang, and Yan'an are very likely to become the first batch of people to switch from the Huaixi Honor Camp to Ye Qing's camp.

As for how many people can switch, the two of them don't know.

But they can guarantee that if the battle process is exciting enough, the outcome of the battle is perfect enough, and Ye Qing also gains status in the court, they will be the first and second people to switch sides!
Of course, even though Ye Qing had enough experience, they felt that the chance of this happening was low!
After all, those resumes can only prove that Ye Qing has a certain political ability, but they cannot prove that Ye Qing has a strong military command ability!

You must know that his opponent is Wang Baobao!
If only having a certain military command and combat ability is not enough, you must have extremely strong military command and combat capabilities to have a certain chance of victory!

Thinking of this, their eyes that looked towards the county seat where the county government was located invariably narrowed. In addition to the look of expectation, there was also a bit of mystery that could not be guessed!

At this very moment,
Ye Qing also returned to the combat command hall located in the middle of the county government office.

In the command hall, four sand table operators who placed models in real time according to the commands of both sides and changes in the battle situation were all in place!Of the ten messengers who relay military orders to each other, five are located under the highest watchtower on the square outside the command hall, and five are in the command hall.

And ten young men in Jinyiwei wearing personal armor were also standing on the right side.

But they felt a little uneasy because their General Mao and His Majesty the Emperor did not come back with Ye Qing.

But behind the two document desks behind them, a familiar face suddenly appeared.

Ye Qing just looked at Wu Yong and said seriously: "Didn't you record the process and your assistant record the military orders of both sides?"

"Why did you call her here?"

Wu Yong frowned and said: "Xiao Chen had a bad stomach at the critical moment, and there was nothing he could do about it, so he invited Mrs. Guo over."

"The official thought that Miss Shen would be too busy. Mrs. Guo is Empress Ma's clan sister and knows everything, so she felt relieved."

After hearing this, Ye Qing only frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy.

Ye Qing didn't doubt that she was a spy, he just doubted her ability in this area.

The minutes of military orders and documents are very strict regulations of the imperial court, and they are something that cannot be taken carelessly at all. They are an important basis for both merit and accountability.

As a person who wished that Zhu Yuanzhang would die soon, he, Ye Qing, would naturally not care about these things.

But he has to think about the generals. After all, the official commander here is General Li, the commander of the Yanmen Left Guard!
Thinking of this, Ye Qing looked at Mrs. Guo, who was still charming and serious at the moment: "Can you do it?"

"Shorthand is a task that requires memorizing, writing accurately, and writing well!"

Empress Ma just smiled slightly and said, "When my man became Marshal Zhu, I was the number one clerk." She was so stunned that she couldn't say it out loud.

Thinking of this, Empress Ma just said modestly: "Don't worry, Mr. Ye, I have almost a photographic memory and an almost ear-to-ear memory, and my writing skills are quite acceptable."

"If Mr. Ye doesn't want the superiors to see that it's a woman's calligraphy, I can do it with Tang Taizong's Fei Bai calligraphy, Zhang Menglong stele (Wei stele regular script), or Yan Zhenqing's cursive calligraphy."

"Of course, the calligraphy is definitely not as good as everyone else's, but it's still passable."

Hearing this, everyone present widened their eyes except for the ten young men in Jinyiwei who were wearing personal armor with calm faces.

Although Ye Qing looked calm on the surface, looking at Queen Ma's modest and smiling face, he also wanted to say, 'You know how to show off'!
But judging from her expression, eyes and tone, it is really certain that she is not pretending to be cool in this way, she is really being modest!
Ye Qing looked at this woman he had not seen for hundreds of years and only wanted to say one thing.

That is, Mr. Guo must have accumulated great virtues in his previous life, and he must have been the kind of great virtue that saved the country and the people. If not, he would not be able to marry such an almighty woman who can do anything except martial arts in this life.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing just looked at Mrs. Guo and said with great interest: "What you say will spill water, but you can't take it back!"

"If the errand goes wrong and I don't deal with you, I will blame your man."

"Of course, if the errand is done well, I will reward you, and I will definitely reward you, Mrs. Guo, who is not short of money, with things that money can't buy!"

Upon hearing such a promise, Queen Ma did not hide the look of expectation in her eyes: "Then I will just wait and see what Master Ye can reward you that I can't buy."

In this way, Queen Ma resumed her old career here and became one of Ye Qing's document recorders.

At this very moment,
Several maids placed the tea sets and Go utensils on both sides of the superior commander's seat. The tea sets were on the left and all the Go utensils were on the right.

Not only that, opposite the Go chess piece, there is a chair with a piece of paper stuck on the back of the chair, which reads [His Majesty personally proclaims 'The Wonderful Man in the World']!
Queen Ma immediately asked: "Master Ye, what do you mean?"

Ye Qing smiled lightly and said: "If you're bored, just use each other's military orders to play a game of chess with the man your Majesty calls the most amazing man in the world!"

"The war is over today, let's compete!"

Queen Ma looked at this scene with her eyebrows slightly wrinkled.

If her family Chongba saw this scene, he would be furious!
When Empress Ma thought of her family Chongba, she looked at the empty old place and immediately asked with concern: "Sir, where is my master?"

"I finally remembered your master. He and Brother Mao Qiang were watching the battle in the tower and couldn't die."

As soon as the voice fell,
Ye Qing instantly became serious.

He looked in the direction outside Yanmen Pass, in the direction of Wang Baobao, and thought to himself: "If my guess is right, it's time for you to take action!".
