Wang Tao is thinking about the next step in the study. Since the Tatars invaded south, their town of Xuanfu has been hit the hardest, and if they don't want to come up with a good countermeasure. I am afraid that this festival of his will come to an end.

At this moment, a soldier came in to report: "My lord, there is a messenger from Kaipingwei who has sent an urgent military situation outside the city gate, I don't know if I opened the door to let him in." ”

As soon as Wang Tao heard that it was Kaipingwei, he felt a headache. Many fortresses in Xuanfu Town have been conquered, and Kaipingwei is in the northernmost part of Xuanfu Town, and at this time a military report was sent, which should have been conquered.

Kaipingwei is a more important pass in Xuanfu Town, Kaipingwei was conquered, and then to the south is the plain, although there are still a few fortresses. But without significant geographical advantages, I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand the attack of the Tatars.

Wang Tao was very annoyed, but after all, it was an urgent military situation, so he couldn't be missing. He immediately sent your order, opened a crack in the gate to let the messengers enter, and kept watch around the gate. In case of a sneak attack by the Tatars.

Jiedu made Wang Tao's military order to the city gate official, and he opened the city gate a small crack in accordance with the military order. Let Liu Yu lead the horse into the city gate, as soon as Liu Yu entered the city gate, the city gate was immediately closed.

Liu Yu, under the leadership of the city gate official, went to the Jiedu Embassy, and the road was unimpeded, and he soon entered the Jiedu Embassy

Liu Yuzai entered the lobby under the leadership of the Jiedu envoy's personal soldiers, and as soon as he entered, he saw that Wang Tao had been waiting there for a long time.

Wang Tao had seen Liu Yu a few times, and when he saw that it was him, he didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "When was Kaipingwei conquered, what is Jia Ke's current situation, and he has the ability to regroup." ”

When Liu Yu heard Wang Tao ask like this, he knew that he had already decided that Kaiping Wei would definitely be conquered.

Liu Yu hurriedly knelt on the ground, holding Jia Ke's military letter to Wang Tao and said: "Qiyu Jiedu envoy, Kaiping Wei two days ago, broke the Tatars, beheaded 3,200 people, captured 600 people, I was ordered by Kaiping Wei Qianhu Jia Ke, I came to report to the Jiedu envoy. ”

Wang Tao listened to his words, was stunned for a moment, and did not answer the military report, but asked: "You said it was Kaipingwei's victory?" Not overcome? ”

Liu Yu held up the urgent military report sent by Jia Ke and said to Wang Tao with certainty: "Two days ago, I Kaipingwei fought with 6,000 Tatars in the plains and broke the Tatars. This is our urgent military report for thousands of households, please take a look. ”

Wang Tao listened to what Liu Yu said, and as soon as he grabbed this military information, he watched it carefully in the lobby, and what the military newspaper said was not much different from what Liu Yu had just reported.

Wang Tao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he read Jia Ke's military report, with this great victory, his position as a festival envoy was saved. But he is deeply cautious, and if he does not conduct any investigation, he will report the merit directly to him, and once there is a mistake at that time, it will be the crime of bullying the king.

So Wang Tao immediately calmed down and asked Liu Yu to go down to rest first. Then he ordered someone to pass on Wu Li, the chief secretary of the Jiedu Embassy, and Gao Hong, the military sacrifice wine, these two have always been Wang Tao's right-hand men.

After a while, the two of them hurried over, and when they saw Wang Tao, they immediately saluted and said, "I have seen the Lord Jiedu Envoy at the humble level. ”

Wang Tao waved his hand and said to them: "It's all my own people, don't make these false courtesies, hurry up and come here, I have something here, I want you to help me refer to it." ”

Wu Li, Gao Hong walked to Wang Tao's side, and Gao Hong also said to Wang Tao with a smile: "My lord, we are not to blame for many people, in case we offend you one day, we will save you from being caught." ”

Wang Tao pointed at him with a smile and said, "You have so many eyes, I'm afraid the hair on your body is empty." ”

Wu Li has always been more serious, and seeing that they were very interested in laughing at this time, he said to them angrily: "My lord, when is it now, you still have the heart to laugh, if there is something important to hand over the two of us together, hurry up, otherwise I have other things to do." ”

Wang Tao said angrily: "It's all Gao Hong who made me laugh as soon as he came, okay, don't talk about it." Now it's time to get down to business. ”

After speaking, let the two of them sit down, and then take out the military report of Kaiping Wei Jia Ke, hand it to them, and let them read it.

After the two of them read it all, they asked, "What do you two think, is this Jia Ke lying about the military situation?" ”

Gao Hong first said: "I don't think this Jia Ke is so bold, I'm afraid that the Tatars can't attack Kaiping for a long time, so they withdrew their troops, so there is this exaggerated military report." ”

Wu Li added: "If it is according to Lord Gao, it should be that his family has made a lot of effort, otherwise it is impossible for him to defend Kaipingwei." ”

Wang Tao said to them: "This Jia Ke is a descendant of Rongguofu, the deceased Rongguogong, has some prestige in the army, I am afraid that Rongguofu has arranged a lot of capable people to help him this time." ”

Gao Hong slapped his palms and said with a smile: "That must be the truth, it seems that Rongguo Mansion has spent a lot of energy in order to cultivate this child." ”

Wu Li still followed his words and added: "In the past few years, the Rongguo Mansion has declined so badly, I am afraid that I want to rise again with military merits." ”

Wang Tao felt that what the two said was reasonable, I'm afraid the truth is this, it seems that the two of them also feel that the beheading of 3,200 levels is too exaggerated.

Wang Tao then asked the two again: "Then what do you think should be done with this Jia Ke?" ”

Wu Li said with a stiff face: "This Jia Ke lied about the military situation, and if he is not severely punished, it is not enough to correct the military law, at least, beat him with thirty military sticks to set an example." ”

Gao Hong objected: "No, although Jia Ke's military report is untrue, he has already made a great contribution to defending Kaiping and forcing the Tatars to withdraw." Although there is a suspicion of exaggeration, but in the case of other military forts, which have fallen one after another, he can hold Kaipingwei, keep the rear of Kaipingwei, and not lose hundreds of miles of plains, this little flaw is nothing. ”

Wu Li said angrily: "Is this why he is doing nonsense, if everyone learns from him in the future, will there be military law and military discipline?" ”

Gao Hong heard Wu Li's objection, and also felt that it made sense, and after thinking about it, he said to Wang Tao: "It's better to do this, in the name of verifying the head, send someone to Kaipingwei to verify the true situation of Kaipingwei, and when the time comes, find out that he has falsely reported his military exploits, and reprimand him in person and give him some lessons." Then the adults will repay him with real military exploits, and he will not have any resentment. Isn't that the best of both worlds? ”

When Wang Tao heard him say this, he felt very reasonable, because he looked up at Wu Li and saw that he did not object. So he decided, "That's it." Then he asked Gao Hong: "Who do you think is more appropriate?" ”

Gao Hong smiled and said to Wang Tao: "I'm afraid that we can only go to Master Wu, who is tired of us." ”

Wang Tao also smiled and said: "It's just right for him to go to this matter, I'm afraid that others will not be able to deter this kid." ”

Wu Li said solemnly: "If I go, I will definitely find out the facts, and I will not indulge in vain." ”

Wang Tao was afraid that his personality was too straight, and after he went, he punished him greatly despite Jia Ke's military merits, and instructed him: "After you go, find out the facts first, as for the military report is too different, you can only reprimand him, and no other actions can be taken, after all, he is still meritorious, and then come back and report the details to me." ”

Wu Li arched his hand and said to Wang Tao: "Don't worry, my lord, I still know some of the overall situation, how can I punish the heroes because of small mistakes." ”

Wang Tao was relieved and ordered him to return to Kaipingwei with Liu Yu, who came to report the news, tomorrow.
