Chapter 14: The Traitor
"Lord, then I'll go to Beicheng to inspect it."
"I'll go with you to the city." Liu Dedao.
The generals glanced at each other, knowing that once Liu De made up his mind, it was easy to change, so they did not stop him, and they all agreed, and Liu Gui was even more determined to protect Liu De closely, for fear of accidents.
Except for a few people who had other tasks, the rest of the people followed Liu De to the city to inspect.
Liu De's riding skills have also improved by leaps and bounds under the guidance of the generals, at least he is not afraid of falling off the horse, and he can control the war horse relatively well.
Liu De looked at Zhang Tianlang, who was slightly behind him, thoughtfully, so he said, "Captain Zhang." ”
When Zhang Tianlang heard this, he hurriedly drove his horse forward, side by side with Liu De, and said, "What does the lord command!" ”
"This Donghu launched an army of 100,000 to attack the city, is it possible to hold on to it forever?"
"Lord Qiqi, 100,000 troops are not a small number, the consumption of grain and grass is huge, as long as you hold on for a few months, the enemy army will inevitably retreat automatically due to lack of food and grass, at present, there is only this one more secure way."
"Doesn't the state government support Dongyu City? Only rely on our own more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to resist the enemy's 100,000 army? Doesn't the state capital know that as soon as Dongyu City is broken, Yanzhou is a flat river, and the Donghu cavalry is like entering their own back garden, galloping at will? Liu De asked.
"My lord, this is a long story." Zhang Tianlang was also quite helpless.
"Yanzhou Mu Yang Zichuan and the old lord have a gap, so Dongyu City should basically rely on their own preparations, and now His Majesty only knows how to get drunk and have fun, regardless of political affairs. The court is even more chaotic with party factions, the government decree does not go out of Zhongzhou, and the local officials are yin and yang, and the Guo family in Dongfu City, western Yanzhou, has mastered Jinyang Pass, cutting off the connection between Yanzhou and Hebei, and most of the territory of Yanzhou is controlled by the Guo family through a series of means, either openly or covertly, so the Guo family is now the biggest enemy of Yang Zichuan in Yanzhou, and Yang Zichuan has no heart to take care of Dongyu City, so in recent days, in addition to the Donghu army coming to the city, the suppression of the state capital has been reduced a lot. ”
"Da Zhou is really rotten from the inside out, a bunch of worms, who only know how to fight for power and profit, and loot the people's fat and people's cream." Liu De said angrily, "Yang Zichuan is the governor of a state in vain, he doesn't know that if Donghu breaks Dongyu City, no matter how much property they loot, isn't it for the Hu people?" Sooner or later, this great week will perish because of them. Zhang Tianlang and other soldiers looked at their noses and noses, and they all acted as if they hadn't heard Liu De's words, and they were speechless all the way.
Liu De came to the city with all the soldiers, and before he could get off the horse, he saw a group of people walking down the city with a rice basket under the leadership of a scribe, and the scribe saw that Liu De and others were a little flustered, and hurriedly came to Liu De, and arched his hand and said: "Wang Sheng greets the lord, Captain Zhang." ”
Seeing this, Zhang Tianlang smiled and said, "Lord Wang Sheng is also quite attentive!" Near the dawn of the morning, food was also brought to the soldiers. ”
Wang Sheng also smiled and replied: "I am a weak scholar, one can not go on the horse to defend against the enemy, two can not relieve the worries of the people, I can only do what I can, I am afraid that the soldiers guarding the city at night will be hungry, so I brought some food, I did not expect to meet the lord and the generals here." ”
Liu De was also relieved on the side, if Dongyu was such a good minister, why worry about it.
Zhang Tianlang was afraid that Liu De would not know Wang Sheng. hurriedly introduced: "Lord, Wang Sheng is the chief bookkeeper in the city, and he usually does his best to do things, and the old lord and Chen Lao also have a lot of praise. ”
Liu De nodded and said with a dark smile: "I don't need you to introduce me, whether I have good skills or not, I can know the ability at a glance, and look at this person's conversation, he should be a capable person." ”

"Loyalty 45!?"
is so low, it can be said that this loyalty is the same as nothing, he is not my person, Liu De can conclude, but Liu De did not show it on his face, he still has this bit of the city, and smiled: "There is Wang Sheng's main book, this is really Dongyu's luck!" ”
"With the lord here, this is Dongyu's luck. The minister also had to go to the county government to deal with political affairs, and he was now retired. ”
"Well, go ahead!"
......
Coming to the city, Liu De walked around at will, talking to the soldiers, while checking the attributes of the soldiers, the loyalty of the soldiers at the head of the city is 80 upwards, through the side knocks, and did not find that the soldiers have any discomfort, it can be said that there is no problem at all, is it that I think too much, but the system can't deceive people! There is definitely something wrong with Wang Sheng's loyalty, so what is the reason?
Don't? Liu De suddenly thought of it, lying on the head of the city, looking at the darkness under the city, Liu De's mood was also up and down, quite unquiet.
Liu De sighed, I hope it's not what he thinks, if he is dissatisfied with himself and his loyalty is so low, then it's okay, if he is the same for Dongyu, then...
"Someone, ask Captain Zhang to come to the city gate tower to see me."
"Yes!"
Liu De turned around and returned to the city gate, and after a while, Zhang Tianlang walked in, "Lord, you are looking for me." ”
"Uncle Tianlang, I asked you to come over for nothing else, I just want to ask about Wang Sheng, how much do you know about this person?"
Zhang Tianlang thought for a while and said: "Wang Sheng, his subordinates are not very familiar with him, I only know that this person came to Dongyu three years ago, was appreciated by the old lord, and was promoted to the position of the master book, he has always been low-key, and the relationship with the generals in the city is also average, but he is quite sincere, and everything in the city is handled properly, it is the arm of Chen Lao, and Chen Lao is often praised in front of us. Lord, what happened to the king's master's book? ”
"Huh? It's okay, I just want to know about the officials, otherwise I don't even know the officials under my staff, so what can I do. ”
When Zhang Tianlang heard this, he also smiled and said: "That's true, if the lord has nothing else to do, the last general will retire first." ”
"Well, you go and get busy with yours!"
"Yes, the last general will retire!"
Liu De paced back and forth in the house, now this matter can not be made public, if you tell everyone now that Wang Sheng is a spy, no one will believe it, and Chen Lao will also be dissatisfied with himself, after all, Wang Sheng is his right-hand man, so it is also a big blow to his prestige, no one will be convinced that a master who slanders his officials as spies without evidence can only secretly monitor and find evidence. is in the middle of a big war, and the transmission of news will definitely be very frequent, and I am not afraid that he will not show his feet, but who will handle this matter?
Zhang Tianlang is too upright, Liu Gui is too reckless, and Gongsun Qi is too gloomy...
Only Yannan is left.
"Someone, quickly recruit Captain Yan to see me."
"Yes!"
Yan Nan hurriedly came to the city gate tower, "I don't know what the lord called me to do?" ”
"Brother Yannan, I have a matter related to Dongyu's safety."
"Oh?"
"Come here with your ears."
