Putting down the teacup, he thought for a moment, called Geng Zhongming's name, and asked him, "Yuntai, how are you doing with the affairs of North Korea?" ”

Geng Zhongming also patrolled the city defenses with Ye Fu this time, and went over and over in his mind everything he should take care of anytime and anywhere, for fear that when Ye Fu wanted to ask, he couldn't answer.

At this time, hearing that Ye Fu finally ordered him, he was busy and hurriedly said: "Back to the big handsome, on the Korean side, Li Qi is very obedient now." On our side, the factories and businesses with the foreign exchange pass number as a shareholder, and the headquarters have basically been relocated. In terms of troops, including the training base for marine and land recruits, the new site of the main school of the Martial Arts and Chongwen Hall, and the command hub, preparations have basically begun to be made in the places near the sea in the DPRK. The fastest is almost complete and will be ready for operation soon. Li Liang is obedient to us, and there will be no problems for a while. ”

Ye Fu nodded and said, "I didn't explain it to you before, but this matter will be explained sooner or later." The place we are in is too close to the Tartars, and in this kind of place, if the Tartars are new and evil, they will gather with all their strength and attack together. Or, all day long. Then we'll just have to do nothing. I am tired all day long, and sooner or later, I will suffer a big loss. That's why I took the DPRK into account. ”

As he said this, the staff officers who had already entouraged him had set up the sand table.

Ye Fu watched from afar, motioned to his subordinates to go over and take a look, and said, "The Korean country is quite far away from the Tatars. What are our advantages? It is relatively close to North Korea, and if there is something that cannot be solved in the dangerous mountain town, then retreating to North Korea may not be a superior strategy. Besides, in addition to the distance, there are other considerations. That is, the Tartars themselves are scarcely numerous. If he can't coax the people, and no one continues to lead troops to defect, then with his current strength, arranged in so many military forts, the direct result is that his battle line is stretched very long. Neither two places can effectively echo each other. The more places they need to defend, the longer the battle line is stretched, and the fewer troops they can free up. The troops are stretched, the attack cannot be attacked, the defense cannot be defended, in the end, he is the fish on the chopping board, let others slaughter! ”

This time, it was Dou Xiangguang who stood up, "What the marshal said is very true, the Tartars are fighting head-on, and their strength is really not to be underestimated. In that case, a roundabout approach is a good idea. Let the Tartars occupy more cities, and even if they do, they will not be able to divide their forces to defend them. When the time comes, we will snatch it in turn, and that will be the Tartars exhausted! ”

Ye Fu said with a smile: "Yes, I have also made some progress in military affairs recently. You, you can see that you haven't consulted with Commander Wen recently, right? ”

Wen Wenshan was thin-skinned, and when he heard Ye Fu mention him, he had some compliments, so he immediately lowered his head, and his face was slightly red.

It was Dou Xiangguang, who heard Ye Fu ask this, and replied with great interest: "Dashuai, I'm afraid you don't know much." Wenshan doesn't talk much on weekdays, but when it's really time to use it, there are so many ideas! The lowly official stayed with him all day, listened to him arrange his troops, and saw that he commanded Ruoding. It's kind of a sight to hear! If you can't make any progress, then you are stupid by nature, and you are not worthy of cultivation. ”

"Oh, you can talk!" Ye Fu nodded and said to him, "It's always right to learn more!" You told me before that you wanted me to match you with a commander who could fight. I thought of Wenshan at that time! Wenshan, this kid, is indeed as you said, a very brainy, but somewhat introverted person. Putting the two of you together, in addition to letting you learn more about Wenshan, it will also gain some strength. When you are fighting, there is always one more person who can point you in the direction and give you ideas. But Wenshan, my arrangement is also meant to let you follow optics more! DID YOU KNOW? ”

Wen Wenshan didn't know about it originally, but after hearing Ye Fu say so much, he always had some thoughts about it.

He said: "Yes, the humble position understands the painstaking work of the marshal. In the past few days, he has not been very talkative, and his relationship with his colleagues is not very good. Socially, I'm afraid it's going to take a lot of effort into the big handsome. The handsome man asked the lowly to get along with Lord Dou, and he also wanted to learn from Lord Dou and learn more about how to interact with people, so as not to be a stuffy gourd in the future. ”

Ye Fu listened to his words, and then nodded with satisfaction: "That's right!" That's a lot! Learn from each other's strengths, check and fill in the gaps, change if there is, and encourage if there is none. It's good that you can think so! I've said it a long time ago. The chief officer and the chief of staff, those were two grasshoppers tied to a rope. There is credit, and that is earned together. There is a fault, and everyone shares it the same. The two of you, you have to be 'complementary'! Otherwise, what's the use of pinching the two of you together? After intrigue and quarrel all day long, I might as well let you lead the army alone, so that you can expand into three towns! Moreover, I am not only talking about the two of you, but also you big guys, and I remember it too. Fighting a war is not a one-man affair, work together! Let's work together! ”

Sun Chengzong is definitely an extremely smart person.

He knew very well that fighting in Liaodong was not the time to spit on the court.

At this time, literati are often unreliable, and those who are really reliable are still those military attachés.

Although some of them are greedy and some are tyrannical, they still have a trustworthy general of the Ming Dynasty when they say a thousand things and ten thousand, in the final analysis. To lead troops to war, you still have to rely on them.

It is precisely because of this that although Ye Fu's actions in the dangerous mountain seem to be extremely dangerous in the eyes of Xiong Tingbi, for Sun Chengzong, those are just small sections. What really matters is not how Ye Fu behaves, but that he can fight and win battles! That's the most important question.

Therefore, after arriving at Shanhaiguan, Sun Chengzong didn't even have a superfluous word, and first gave Ye Fu a letter to repair it.

As early as when he was in the capital, he had already thought about how to arrange things here. At this time, he just used Ye Fu to complete his arrangement of some things.

~~

"You want me to go to North Korea?"

Ye Fu looked at the order sent by Elder Sun and felt a little surprised.

In any case, in his opinion, it should not be him to fulfill this order at such a time.

But since it was Lord Sun's order, Ye Fu couldn't help but complete it.

Therefore, after a few days of grinding, he set off slowly and went to North Korea.

On the way, he naturally brought Kong Youde, who he couldn't understand.

In order to facilitate conversation, Ye Fu asked people to arrange the carriage alone, instead of riding a horse.

In the carriage, Ye Fu and Kong Youde looked at each other, and Ye Fu asked, "Do you remember what I told you last time?" When you went back, did you think about it? ”

Kong Youde said cautiously: "Is the marshal referring to your transfer back from the Third Town?" I have pondered it, but I haven't been able to figure out why. On the day of his humble position, he said the truth, if the marshal didn't believe it, then ~~"
