After Zhang Fu listened to the explanations of the two, it was not easy to accuse them, the young man was momentarily angry, and he was blinded by the so-called friendship, and it was normal to take a few crooked steps.

Fortunately, the two of them have no fame now, if they are not deeply involved, the problem is not big, and it is not impossible to let them go.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Fu said: "Since you were invited to come to the general camp, and you have no merit on your body, you must not know much about everything in the army, so you should send someone to find out Yang Congyi as soon as possible, and he will reply in person." ”

As soon as he heard this, Shen Jin said, "I don't know what the adults are asking?" The villain came to the election camp with Deputy Envoy Yang in July last year, and since the preparation of the election camp, the villain has participated in many things. Deputy Envoy Yang spends most of his time in the mountains organizing the actual combat selection of generals, and is not in the battalion, and the daily affairs of the selection camp and the coordination with the various forbidden armies who came to select generals are all done by the villain and the Lu Army, and Deputy Envoy Yang may not know more about the affairs of the current general selection camp than the two of us. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Lu You, not knowing what he was planning in his heart.

Zhang Fu's face was slightly cold, and he suddenly felt a little displeased with Shen Jin, originally thinking that he was Mengxi's father-in-law, he looked up to him and intended to let them go, but he didn't want to be so ignorant of current affairs.

"You are naturally inseparable from the matter of selecting the general's camp, but there are some things that you cannot afford. Within one day, let Yang Congyi come and talk back! ”

Zhang Fu immediately put away the kindness that was still warm as spring, and his tone was cold.

"The mountains are dozens of miles in circumference, the mountain road is difficult to travel, Deputy Envoy Yang in the mountains to organize the selection of generals is actually running around in the mountains, there is no fixed residence, it is not easy to find him, one day is far from enough, I hope that the adults will be lenient for a few days. A few adults settled in the camp first, and we immediately sent people into the mountains to find Deputy Envoy Yang, and asked him to return to the camp immediately and come to meet the adults. ”

Shen Jin got up and replied, he was white, and Fang Cai Zhang looked at his grandfather's affection for his nephew, but now that the affection has been lost, it is impossible to sit on an equal footing.

Zhang Fu's eyes were cold, and he was about to refuse, but when he saw Lu You also stand up, the words came to his lips and swallowed raw, and he asked instead, "What did Lu Xian's nephew say?" ”

I only heard Lu You say: "My lord, what Shen Senjun said is true, there are forty forbidden troops from all over the country who have rushed to participate in the selection of generals in the selection camp, and the average time for them to enter the mountains to challenge the selection of generals is about eight days, even if it is non-stop, it will take two days and two nights from the selection camp to the temporary camp in the mountains, and it will take four days and four nights to come and go, and the adult has a time limit of one day, and he really can't find Deputy Envoy Yang, and he can't come back to the selection camp. ”

Shen Jin's family has not been an official for decades, and the foundation has been lost, so there is no need to worry, but Lu You is different, his father has been the prefect of Lin'an, and the Lu family's collection of books is famous all over the world, and his status in the hearts of Jiangnan scholars is extraordinary.

The thought flashed in Zhang Fu's mind, and he immediately replied: "Okay, then according to what Lu Xian's nephew said, I will give a grace period of three more days, and let Yang Congyi come and talk back within four days!" ”

"Thank you for your understanding, the villain will do it!"

Shen Jin clasped his fists and saluted the three officials dressed in Zhu Yizi, and then turned around and walked out of the conference hall.

Waiting for Shen Jin to leave, Zhang Fu said: "Nephew Lu Xian, we have nothing else to do here in Wuzhou, but there are some rumors to be confirmed." In the next question, you know and answer truthfully, and if you don't know, you can say as much as you know, do you understand? ”

"Understood. If you have something to say, just ask. ”

Lu You stood still, looking ahead, without any intention of dodging.

"Do you know who the commander of the Elective Battalion is?"

"Yes, King Pu'an."

"When did you know? Have you ever seen one? ”

"After coming to the Yiwu Election Camp, I heard Deputy Envoy Yang say that the coach has never appeared in the Election Camp and has never seen it."

"Do you know that anyone in the camp has seen the king of Pu'an?"

"I don't know. As far as I know, no one in the camp should have seen it. In the camp of the selected generals, except for Deputy Envoy Yang, who is an official of the imperial court and serves in Lin'an, the villain and Shen have lived in Lin'an for a period of time, and the others have been stationed in other places all the year round, and they have no chance to go to Lin'an, so they should not have seen the face of the king of Pu'an. ”

"How do you know that the king of Pu'an lives in Lin'an?"

"My lord, the status of the county king is noble, and the emperor is a relative of the country, where do you live in Lin'an?"

"How old is the King of Pu'an, do you know?"

"I don't know, I haven't heard of it."

"Before leaving Lin'an, did Yang Congyi ever see the King of Pu'an?"

"The villain doesn't know. As far as I know, Deputy Envoy Yang only knows the name of the King of Pu'an, and that's all he knows. ”

"It's been more than half a year since the general camp was selected here, and there has been no coach, doesn't anyone think it's strange?"

"My lord, at the beginning of the establishment of the camp, we knew that the commander of the general battalion was the king of Pu'an County, how could the noble status of the county king come to the smoky army in person, he was just an empty name, and the whole battalion knew it. If the county king is selected into the general camp with a noble body, it is naturally an honor for the whole battalion, and if the county king does not appear from beginning to end, it is normal in our opinion. Yes, I don't think it's strange. ”

"Do you know how many letters Lin'an has sent to Yang Congyi and how many orders he has delivered?"

"I don't know, I only heard that the front of the palace sent a letter to the deputy envoy Yang about the king of Pu'an County, that was around mid-September last year, according to the deputy envoy Yang, the front of the palace sent a letter to tell him that the king of Pu'an County may come to Wuzhou in advance to elect the general camp, after receiving the news, the whole battalion of soldiers put most of their energy on the construction of the handsome camp, and wanted to build the handsome camp before the king of Pu'an County came to Wuzhou. This is the only time I've heard of a letter from Lin'an. ”

"In October last year, three people came from Lin'an to enter the election camp and have not left yet, but is there such a thing?"

"Yes, one is Master Zhang, one is General Li, and one is General Shao."

"What happened to the three of them? Can the nephew be familiar with them? ”

"The selection of generals and colonels in the selection battalion is a method of actual combat challenges, which requires experienced generals in the battle formation to distinguish between good and bad success and failure, and they are the actual combat judges sent by the front division of the palace to assist in the selection of generals. Master Zhang and the two generals have a higher status in the general selection camp, unless they take the initiative to find them, otherwise we rarely bother, and we don't communicate much with them, only know their surnames, they are unknown, and they are not familiar. ”

"Alright, let's talk about the errand you were responsible for in the general camp."

"I am mainly responsible for raising grain and grass, purchasing bamboo, wood, bricks and stones and other materials needed for the construction of the camp, and also recruiting craftsmen and people."

"How much grain and grass has been raised, how much bamboo, wood, bricks and stones have been procured in the past six months, and how many craftsmen and people have been recruited, do you have detailed accounts?"

"There are accounts, and there are people in the camp who are in charge of the accounts, and there are records of the money and materials in and out. Do I need to send it over for adults to see? ”

"If you have the accounts, you will send them to Lord Zuo Sihuang to see."

"Wait a minute, adults."

After Lu You gave the salute, he walked out of the conference hall quickly.

As soon as I arrived outside the hall, I saw Shen Jin turn around.

"Brother Lu is in a hurry, where are you going?"

"A few adults want to see the accounts of the election general's camp, let me get it."

The two passed by, not stopping for a moment.

Shen Jin returned to the council hall and raised his hand and replied: "My lord, the villain has already sent someone into the mountain to find Deputy Envoy Yang, if it goes well, he will be able to come back within four days." ”

"Just now you said that you are responsible for coordinating the forbidden armies of all walks of life in the camp of the selected generals, and let me ask you, do all the forbidden troops in the camp have rosters, and do they check them one by one when they enter the camp, and whether they are impersonated?"

"My lord, the general selection order of the General Selection Division makes it clear that the forbidden army that comes from all walks of life to participate in the general selection must be a complete command force, and everyone must make it up in the register, otherwise the qualification for the selection of generals will be cancelled. Before the forbidden army entered the camp of the selected generals, the camp of the selected generals carefully inspected each of the forbidden armies, and each army had a roster, and the officers and men of each army were also registered. ”

"Master Li, you are familiar with the affairs of the army, what do you think?"

Zhang Fu turned around and looked at a red-clothed official next to him. There is Shiro-chan Lee-sama.

Master Li opened his mouth and said, "Since there is a roster, then bring the roster of each army." In addition, all the rations and grasses of the army should be registered, and if there are accounts, they should be brought together, and if there are no accounts, the accounts should be burned and punished. Do you understand? ”

"The villain understands, so I'm going to fetch it for the adults to check and see."

Shen Jin, who had just returned, left the council hall again and went to look for the roster and accounts.

When there was no one in the hall, Zhang Fu suddenly said to the other two: "Lord Huang, Lord Li, how do you feel about this election camp?" ”

The two didn't know what Zhang Fu meant.

Master Li was the first to reply: "The selection of generals is different from all the military camps that the lower officials have visited, this place is planned and built very neatly, the school field is built near the river, the barracks are built by the mountains, the training of soldiers from all walks of life is orderly, and the morale is high, which is much better than some so-called strong troops. However, on the whole, the general selection camp lacks a little bit of the flavor that a military camp should have, and a little less of the atmosphere that an army should have. ”

Huang Dadao: "On the surface, I can't see anything right now. The imperial court gave such a large sum of money, more than 40 forbidden armies, more than 20,000 people, it is impossible to be without problems. As the following officials can see, I am afraid that the problem here is not small. With such a big mess, with only the little secretary who has been transferred to the front of the palace for a few months, plus two young scholars, they can do such a big thing by themselves, do you believe it? Whether you believe it or not, the lower officials don't believe it anyway. Things in the camp must not be simple, maybe after reading the accounts, some problems in them will naturally be revealed. ”

"Then let's talk about it, if the general camp can have the current scene, is it more related to the king of Pu'an County, or is it more related to the front division of the palace?"

As soon as Zhang Fu asked, the hall was immediately silent.

The three of them are the candidates for the general camp who have quarreled with the DPRK and China for a long time before they are decided, and they have the intention of containing each other and balancing and supervising.
