After the two letters were sent, Jiang Chuan asked people to hold a banquet to wash the dust for Su Qin's formal reception.

The banquet was organized by Qi Xuan himself, although it was not sumptuous, but it was also delicious and pleasant, and he had a great appetite for Su Qin, Su Qin was addicted to eating again and again, which made Qi Xuan smile lightly when he provoked him to the side, and secretly said in his heart that this Mr. Su is really interesting, obviously they are some home-cooked dishes, but they are as exaggerated as eating delicacies from the mountains and seas.

After three rounds of drinking, the two talked about business.

"Mr. went to Datong this time, what do you think of Li Yongnian?" Jiang Chuan filled the empty cup in front of Su Qin with wine and asked.

"This person is a cadre, thoughtful, steady, and has an eye for judging the situation. The only thing is that it's a little too cautious. Su Qin asked slightly and said after groaning.

"What about the prefect of Datong?" Jiang Chuan asked again.

This person, Su Qin, didn't talk to him face-to-face, but he also learned something from the white girl. This kind of person is a mediocre person, and if he meets a monarch who likes to listen to sycophants, he is a flattering minister. If you meet a shrewd and capable monarch, then you can also do something. However, most of the people in the world are like this, and it all depends on the king's preference. If you listen to flattery, then the world is full of flatterers; If the king pays attention to practicality, then the world is mostly a minister. ”

Su Qin said eloquently.

Jiang Chuan thought for a while, and faintly felt that this was Su Qin's implicit admonition to himself, and nodded and said, "What Mr. said is extremely true. If something is good, it will be effective. Egawa was taught. ”

Seeing Jiang Chuan like this, Su Qin smiled with relief, picked up his wine glass and said, "The lord is wise and clear, Su Qin respects the lord with a glass." ”

The two of them picked up their glasses and touched them, and each drank it all.

"Although Li Yongnian has now expressed his allegiance to the lord, this Datong is an important town in northern Xinjiang, and its location is very important, I don't know what the lord's plan is for the candidate to guard Datong?" Su Qin asked after putting down his wine glass.

Jiang Chuan didn't answer and asked, "What do you suggest?" ”

Su Qin said without thinking: "Su Qin thinks that Li Yongnian and Mu Zuo are not easy to move lightly for the time being, and let them continue to guard Datong." ”

Jiang Chuan said: "What is the reason for sir?" ”

"First, these two people have been in Datong for many years and are familiar with all aspects of Datong's affairs. Second, let them continue to guard Datong, which can not only make them feel the trust of the lord, but also temporarily solve the problem of insufficient manpower under the lord. Third, the white girl is now staring at Datong, and the two of them don't dare to make any small moves in private. Moreover, the prefect of Datong, Mu Zuo, still has a handle in the hands of the lord, and his son Mu Yi works under the lord's account, and he does not dare to have two hearts for the lord. In this way, Li Yongnian can also be contained. ”

Su Qin told his reasoning, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Jiang Chuan with burning eyes.

Jiang Chuan immediately said as soon as Su Qin finished speaking: "What Mr. said is reasonable, just follow Mr. and let them continue to guard Datong." I wrote a letter to Li Yongnian and Mu Zuo to reassure them. ”

Su Qin said with a smile: "It's also temporary for them to guard Datong. When the strength of the lord becomes more and more thick in the future, the minds of Li Yongnian and the others will be stable, and it will not be too late for the lord to change people. Now Li Yongnian and they are also just making a benchmark, so that everyone in the world can look at it and know that the lord has the capacity to accommodate people and the courage to use people. ”

Jiang Chuan smiled: "What Mr. said is reasonable. I don't know what else Mr. has gained from going to Datong this time? ”

"Shanhaiguan deserves to be the first Xiongguan in the world. If there is a chance, the lord must take the Shanhai Pass, so as to ensure that our army can advance and retreat. Su Qin's expression suddenly became solemn.

Shanhaiguan? Jiang Chuan also became solemn.

Shanhaiguan is the gateway connecting Liaodong and Guannei, and occupying Shanhaiguan is a situation where it is impossible to open a single pass. Therefore, Shanhaiguan must be held in his hands.

It's just that now Shanhaiguan is in the hands of Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui, a pair of uncles and nephews, and these two are not mediocre people.

"What the gentleman said is very true. Shanhaiguan is indeed very important. However, the military advisor has already had a countermeasure. Jiang Chuan then told Su Qin about the Qinwang dispatch order formulated by Liu Ji.

Su Qin also praised it after hearing it.

After the two talked about Datong, they talked about this time to persuade Cao Bianjiao and the two of them.

Su Qin said: "Lord, although Su Qin is not talented, he has always had a lot of experience in the art of observing people. This time, in the name of the lord, I went to contact Cao Bianjiao and Hong Chengchou, and I have already gained, so now I will talk about it with the lord. ”

Su Qin analyzed both Cao Bianjiao and Hong Chengchou and came to the conclusion: Although Hong Chengchou has some talents, he is not very useful. Because this person is utilitarian and selfish, it is difficult to be truly loyal to a certain person, so it is recommended to abandon it.

But Cao Bianjiao is a man of temperament, loyal, strong, and a rare general, which can be used. As long as you compare your heart with your heart and treat each other with sincerity, you will definitely be able to swear allegiance to the death.

After listening to Su Qin's analysis and assertion, Jiang Chuan also agreed in his heart. That's exactly how these two people feel about themselves.

Moreover, Hong Chengchou in the original history also proved that Su Qin's judgment was accurate.

After pondering for a while, Jiang Chuan said: "What does Cao Bianjiao say now?" ”

Su Qin heard that Jiang Chuan only asked Cao Bianjiao and knew that he had listened to his words, and nodded slightly: "Cao Bianjiao is actually already tempted. He is not a man who eats the past, and he is not blind to the current situation. He only has one request, hoping that the lord can redress Yuan Chonghuan's grievances in the future, and capture and kill Li Zicheng, so that he can repay Yuan Chonghuan's kindness. ”

Yuan Chonghuan's death was really unjust, really tragic. Although this Yuan Inspector did not deal with him after coming to Datong, and brought a large army to fight him, to be honest, Jiang Chuan had no hatred for Yuan Chonghuan.

Sitting in his position, no one with a little vision wants to have an independent army on the side of his couch that does not want to recruit An.

To put it bluntly, there is no personal grudge between him and Yuan Chonghuan, everything is because of the situation.

Jiang Chuan was sympathetic to Yuan Chonghuan's death, and also believed that it was necessary to rehabilitate him.

"This is no problem, Yuan Chonghuan's unjust and tragic death is really embarrassing. If I have the chance, I will definitely rehabilitate him. As for the capture of Li Zicheng, this is actually predictable. I'm afraid it won't be long before we will be paired with Li Zi. Both of these things can be promised to him. Jiang Chuan said in a deep voice.

"It's so good, don't hide it from the lord, Su Qin has already promised Cao Bianjiao for the lord, and I hope the lord will forgive the sin!" Su Qin suddenly got up from his seat and bowed to Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan was stunned for a moment, hurriedly got up from his seat and walked over to help Su Qin and said: "What is the crime of sir, not only is he not guilty, but he has merit, and he can get a general for me, isn't it a great achievement?" Hurry up, please take a seat. ”

Saying that, he pulled Su Qin to sit down again, and the two talked about some details, and finally Jiang Chuan decided to write a letter of appointment in person, appointing Cao Bianjiao as the garrison of Liaoyang and assisting Liu Ji to guard Liaoyang.

As for Hong Chengchou, Jiang Chuan didn't mention anything.

No attitude is actually an attitude.
