Liu Pei shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it may not be!" Lord Yue, you don't know the situation in the army at this time. Except for the nine-sided military horses, the guards everywhere have been rotten like mud! However, the border army has the heavy responsibility of guarding the border, and it cannot be left lightly. I'm afraid that the Gyeonggi area will be so difficult this time! ”

Then Liu Pei gave Wang Changde a general description of the situation in various health centers. For such a long time, the intelligence bureau has infiltrated the north very smoothly. The officials in various places, Wen Tian and Wuxi, are not opponents at all against such a strict agency as the Intelligence Bureau, and they are completely infiltrated like a sieve! Now the intelligence bureau has planted multiple networks in the north, and a large amount of information continues to come back every day.

After listening to Liu Pei's narration, Wang Changde's face was like earth! However, he himself was not proficient in the way of battle, so he had to ask Liu Pei: "Then the virtuous son-in-law, how do you think this war will develop?" ”

Liu Pei pondered for a moment and said, "I guess it must be Huang Taiji who will unify the army!" This person is quite wise, and he must want to follow the wisdom of Warat, and approach the capital with the momentum of the wind, in a vain attempt to break Beijing in a war! Forced the Emperor to sign the alliance under the city! ”

Wang Changde was even more restless when he heard this. He asked, "Can Beijing City be defended?" ”

Liu Peiwei smiled and said: "Actually, it is not difficult to defend Beijing City. As long as the emperor does not surrender, coupled with the high ditch and deep ditch of the Beijing city wall, the emperor Taiji is advancing with light chariots and no siege equipment, so they will definitely not be able to break through Beijing City! At that time, more than 200,000 people in Wara were still blocked under the high walls of Beijing! ”

Wang Changde breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said, "Is the virtuous son-in-law here for this matter?" It's just that this matter is far away from Shandong, and we have no room to meddle? ”

Liu Pei said: "Yes, I guess the emperor will definitely order the soldiers and horses to be diligent in all places." I want to take the soldiers on a trip. ”

Wang Changde was shocked when he heard this, got up from his chair and said, "Absolutely not! It is said that the girl is invincible! Our army has been defeated several times, and its arrogance must be very arrogant! Besides, those thousands of centaurs in your hands are not enough for the other party to have an impact! This is not possible! ”

Liu Pei said with a smile: "Master Yue, don't worry, the son-in-law has his own way!" Because I didn't intend to go head-to-head with the Houjin Army at all. I just want to see what the Jin Army is like? ”

But Wang Changde still shook his head again and again and refused to agree. Liu Pei persuaded repeatedly, and finally persuaded him: "Lord Yue, sooner or later, this matter will come down to a will, and who can Shandong send to Nuoda at that time?" Moreover, this time there were not many soldiers and horses in the Houjin army, and they did not dare to stay for a long time in the hinterland of the Central Plains. So I don't think they will stay long after all. I'll shake it in front of the battle, and maybe the credit will be in hand! Instead of being assigned by someone else, my father-in-law recommended me to go. It's best for us! What's more, sooner or later, I will have to fight against the Houjin Army, and it is advantageous to understand the opponent one step earlier! ”

Wang Changde listened to Liu Pei's words and hesitated. But he also knows that this son-in-law is very thoughtful, and I'm afraid he really can't stop it! In addition, Liu Pei seized the opportunity to persuade repeatedly, and Wang Changde reluctantly agreed.

In the next few days, Liu Pei's family stayed at his father-in-law's house every day leisurely, and lived a very relaxed life.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the imperial court to report down, and it was clear that the Jin army had broken through. At the same time, the newspaper did ask for the king of diligence in various places! And Shandong is close to the Gyeonggi region, so the news was faster, which detonated the entire Shandong officialdom.

It was in the Yamen of the Governor of Shandong. Zhao Yan is already the master of the six gods! The reason is that he issued an official document asking the generals of the guards from all over the country to bring troops to Jinan City to assemble. As a result, only a few people came to crooked melons and cracked dates, and they didn't bring any soldiers!

The remaining officers of the guard were either sick or fell off their horses, in short, there were all kinds of reasons, that is, they refused to bring troops to Jinan! This is not surprising, those guards who have long since degenerated into landlords, not to mention whether they have the courage to start a war with the Houjin army, is doubtful how many qualified soldiers they can select in the guard!

Even the few people who came to Jinan to report were also military attaches with no background, and they had to deal with one or two because of the signboard of Zhao Yan, the governor of Shandong. After Zhao Yan sent someone to check the hundreds of soldiers brought by these people, his nose was almost crooked!

Those soldiers are not all armored, and they don't have the momentum of soldiers! All of them have vegetables on their faces, and their eyes are erratic. It's simply a bunch of peasants in military uniforms!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan couldn't help but sigh, and said to a few staff members around him: "If today's son orders King Qin, but the local forces in Shandong are not ready and unable to go north, how is this good?" ”

A staff member said: "I think the court will not blame this matter. Even when the Smelling Fragrance Sect rebelled, it wasn't necessary to transfer the border army to quell the rebellion! ”

Another of the older staff members said, "That's different! The Smelling Fragrance Sect is a small civil strife, but this time King Qin is indeed a big deal! If things are delayed, the court can't blame them! Dong Weng, but it's useless for you to be in a hurry about this matter alone, so it's better to gather officials at all levels tomorrow to discuss it. ”

Zhao Yan shook his head and said, "Where is there anything to discuss?" Those official oils are just pushing and dragging! Alas, the officers of this guard station are not angry, why can't they select thousands of soldiers and horses? Even if you can handle it! ”

Staff, you look at me, I look at you, no one is silent. Of course, everyone knows what's going on. In fact, even Zhao Yan himself knows it. It's nothing more than that the civilian officials suppressed the military attachés too hard, and now the military attaches don't play with you! Don't you want rights? It's all for you! As a result, the martial artists went to seek wealth, so naturally they had no intention of training.

In the end, Zhao Yan had no choice after thinking about it repeatedly, so he had to gather the officials of Jinan City for a meeting to discuss. As a result, the whole meeting was as Zhao Yan expected, and the civil officials all bowed their heads like wood carvings and clay sculptures and did not speak.

As for the generals, it was even simpler, they directly told Zhao Yan that the army had been in arrears for a long time, and the soldiers would not be able to pull out without salaries. In addition, over the years, the amount of money allocated from above was limited, so there was no money to maintain all kinds of ordnance materials, resulting in the ordnance decaying. If you want to go on the expedition, you have to re-do it. In a word, no money, no way!

Zhao Yan actually knew about this situation. Because he has a share of the money distributed over the years! So at this moment, it is even more difficult for him to speak. In the end, Zhao Yan could only say helplessly: "Everyone go back and think about what else they can do, and report to me as soon as possible." ”

Zhao Yan, who was worried, returned to the mansion and just sat down, and the housekeeper came to report that someone asked to see him. Zhao Yan waved his hand irritably and said, "No!" Missing! ”
