Although the night is deep, Wang Chengyin's enthusiasm is undiminished and a banquet is held for Wu Mengming to wash the dust, after all, he is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the emperor's henchman, to be exact, the emperor's knife, such an unprecedented sudden west, it is not just a charge, is it possible to investigate what case and arrest someone, thinking of this, I am panicked, I must set some inside information.

The banquet was set up in the inner house, quiet and private, and there were very few participants, except for Wu Mengming, it was Chang Yu, and he didn't even call the accompanying guests, as for those entourage, they set up another table outside.

It was at this time that Wu Mengming knew exactly Chang Yu's identity, and he was indeed a eunuch, but unexpectedly he was not sent to supervise the army, saying that he would accompany him to pay for the salary.

There are strange things every year, and there are a lot of them this year, and it is really strange that the levant actually used the Jinyi Guard to command the envoy, and also sent a eunuch with an indifferent face.

After a polite time, the three of them sat down, Wang Chengyin and Wu Mengming had a small talk, Chang Yu only cared about eating and drinking, during which Wang Chengyin tried to chat with him several times, but he was coldly Um, oh, ah, deal with the past, Wang Chengyin also stopped harassing him.

After three rounds of drinking, Wu Mengming began to get to the point: "General Soldier Wang, the emperor previously ordered Xuanda troops to go to Taiyuan to defend, but did he send troops?" ”

Let's just say, how can a commander of the Jinyi Guard just come to pay for the salary, Wang Chengyin knows in his heart that this is sent by the emperor to supervise the dispatch of troops.

Hey, Wang Chengyin let out a long sigh: "Lord Wu, it's not easy to dispatch troops, there will always be a delay from gathering people and horses to putting the grain and grass in place......

"That means he hasn't left yet," Wu Mengming interrupted.

"Not yet, but the troops will be sent soon, Lord Wu, you also know that the imperial court is in arrears, and the morale of the soldiers is not high, and they have been shouting for the court to make up for the silver owed before they are willing to leave" Wang Chengyin began to complain.

Wu Mengming didn't speak with a dark face, his eyes glanced at Chang Yu.

"It is true that the court should not be in arrears, and it will also affect morale, but the current enemy, the military order is like a mountain, and you are threatening it, although the soldiers are innocent and also appear scoundrels, they will be incompetent and disloyal" Chang Yu said lightly, but what he said was very serious, and he even slapped Wang Chengyin in the face directly.

Sure enough, Wang Chengyin's face became extremely ugly, you are a dead eunuch, why are you talking so impulsively!

But he is an old fritter, so he naturally won't get mad when he can't figure out Chang Yu's depth, and he sees the attitude that Wu Mengming showed in front of Chang Yu, so he knows that this little eunuch is not small.

"How much money does the imperial court owe to Xuanfu, and how much can Xuanfu send troops this time?" Chang Yu didn't wait for the black-faced Wang Chengyin to think of the wording, so he asked directly.

"There are more than 100,000 arrears, and the total number of troops in Xuanfu is more than 50,000, but the maximum can be adjusted to 15,000" Wang Chengyin also talked about the matter

Chang Yu snorted coldly, the so-called more than 50,000 don't know how much vacancies there are for these warlords to eat empty salaries, but it is not bad to be able to pull out more than 10,000, after all, the Xuanfu has a wide range of jurisdictions, and the number of troops that can be drawn is limited.

"Good! The salary can be paid early in the morning, and Mr. Wang can also send troops tomorrow," Chang Yu said lightly.

"I'm afraid that Ming'er will not be able to send troops, and I am a ......little anxious" Wang Chengyin shook his head slightly, but was interrupted by Chang Yu's cold snort.

"Seeing that the thief army is about to enter the city, you are still pushing back here, the imperial court's decree has come down a few days ago, and you are not ready? At this time, the military salary can also be paid at any time, what are you waiting for, and then again, our family will see the troops sent tomorrow! ”

Speaking of this, Chang Yu's tone became sharper, and his voice became much louder.

The atmosphere instantly became extremely embarrassing, and it could be seen that Wang Chengyin was holding back his anger, but in the face of an unfathomable eunuch who was also the commander of the Jinyi guard, he didn't dare to be mad.

"Lord Wu, Father-in-law Chang" Wang Chengyin took a deep breath, suddenly stood up, hugged his fists at the two, and his tone was unusually peaceful: "Whether Ming'er can send troops will be discussed later, there will be something I don't understand, please two of you to solve your doubts."

"You talk about it," Wu Mengming looked at Chang Yu and took over the conversation silently.

"The thief army sent millions of troops to Xi'an...... As soon as Chengyin spoke, he was immediately interrupted by Chang Yu's reprimand.

"Who told you that there are millions of thieves?"

"The thief army has sent a message!" Wang Chengyin was stunned, and he didn't understand why this little eunuch was going crazy again.

"But the imperial court has also issued a decree to inform the whole army, the thief army of one million is just a bluff and boasting, in fact there are only more than 60,000 people, Wang Zongbing, as a general of the imperial court, is convinced that the thief army's text is really ridiculous!" Chang Yu already had anger between his words, all of them were the same as those online keyboard warriors in later generations, believing rumors or refuting rumors!

Hehe, Wang Chengyin smiled a little embarrassedly: "The thief army is just saying so, and the announcement of the imperial court may not be ......" He suddenly paused as he spoke, because he had already seen Chang Yu's face was extremely ugly, and his identity was really inappropriate to say what he said next.

"Ahem, even if the thief army only had more than 60,000 troops when it sent out, according to the past experience of the thief army, the practice of blackmailing the people in one place is at least more than 100,000 at this moment."

What he said was true, and this is also the consistent practice of the thief army, recruiting and holding hostage civilians to pretend to be a momentum, and when they fight, they can use artillery fire to consume the strength of officers and soldiers, and when they escape, they can be used as obstacles.

Chang Yu sneered: "Even if there are more than ten thousand people, the rabble, how can it be a blow, the people who can fight are not those tens of thousands of thieves!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Chengyin's face couldn't help but show disdain, hey, it's a dead eunuch who can't understand anything and will be blind to Bibi, the rabble can also drag down an elite, but he was too lazy to get entangled with Chang Yu on this topic, and smiled slightly: "Just what Chang Gonggong said is very true, but what the last general wants to ask is another doubt, why didn't the thief army cross the Yellow River from the east and break Pingyang Mansion (now Linfen, Shanxi) Why didn't they go east into southern Hebei and attack the capital directly north, and they had to go north to attack the capital from Taiyuan, which was heavily guarded. I would like to ask what is the basis for the imperial court to speculate on its route to the east, and the last general can hear some rumors that even the cabinet has some people who strongly oppose it, and do not think that the thief army will be so stupid to come to Taiyuan, not to mention that there are two important towns guarded by Xuanda here."

After Wang Chengyin finished speaking, he stared at Chang Yu, and at this moment he had already seen that this little eunuch was the real talker.

And Chang Yu scolded his mother countless times in his heart after hearing his words, damn it, in history, it was because of the miscalculation of the marching route of the thief army that the imperial court responded unfavorably, lost its active defense, and was passively beaten everywhere.

He also knew that even at this time, there were many people in the court who were so firm that Chongzhen believed that the thief army would go north to attack Taiyuan and Datong, which was incredible, it was just nonsense.

And the reason why Chongzhen insisted on deploying troops to defend Taiyuan with so many opposition votes was because his son's dream had been proven too much!

"That's because the thief army didn't plan to attack the capital at all" Chang Yu looked at Wang Chengyin and snorted coldly: "And at this time, the thief army is indeed divided into two routes, all the way to the north, all the way to the east, and from the south to cut off the way for the court to retreat south. Moreover, even if the thief army wants to march eastward, the nearest way is to take Taiyuan and then turn to the northeast, so that the road is close, and secondly, it can also expand the army and grain and grass."

"Of course, the general of the imperial court knows the will, but he doesn't understand where he came to the conclusion that the thief army did not plan to enter Beijing at all?" Wang Chengyin frowned and asked.

Chang Yu really wanted to go up and give him a punch, and sighed secretly in his heart at the same time, no wonder he lost again and again, look at what kind of goods these generals are, even if the court has made a will, he still doesn't believe it, but believes in the ghost text of the thief army, just like those netizens who believe in rumors and rumors but kill netizens who don't believe in official announcements in later generations. 、

"Our so-called conclusion is actually the inference of the imperial court, is it possible for the thieves to attack the capital with only 60,000 thieves? When he was glorious, hundreds of thousands of horses and horses had been making trouble for more than ten years, but they had touched the root of the capital wall, and now 60,000 people said that they would fight it, and the purpose of his eastern crusade was only because he was the emperor in Xi'an, and he wanted to clean up the surroundings and expand the territory and security area, could Wang Zongbing not even see this? ”。

Wang Chengyin thought thoughtfully, nodded slightly, and believed it in his heart, after all, the holy decree under the court was not as clear and straightforward as Chang Yu said, and it was more convincing.

"In this case, the last general thinks that the thief is just bluffing, and he doesn't have the courage to fight Taiyuan, even if he goes, it's just for show!" Wang Chengyin's face became more relaxed.

"If you don't believe it, you can go and implement it in person," Chang Yupi said with a smile.

Wang Chengyin was stunned for a moment, and smiled awkwardly: "This, the last general guarding the Xuanfu did not receive the holy order to go to Taiyuan......"

Late at night, the banquet was dispersed, this was not a good banquet, and the guests of honor were not very happy.
