After a brief farewell, Shen Wuyan hurriedly beckoned a fast horse in the inn, and followed the hurried soldier towards General Li. 00]

Shen Wuyan couldn't help muttering, what did Mr. Li want to find himself, could it be that Li Rusong mentioned the matter of borrowing troops to him?

In fact, Shen Wuyan didn't have much hope for this matter, and he also understood his current situation, after losing Li Sunsin, he was almost a sinner. In the imperial court, there are characters like Gao Gong who are hostile, and Li Zongbing will naturally think about these.

No matter how well the two talked in the past and how passable they were, they were still as light as water in the end. Mr. Li will not offend Gao Ge Lao because of himself, let alone take this unnecessary risk.

Therefore, it is actually reasonable for him not to borrow troops, so he actually did not have hope in this matter.

With Li Chengliang's character, he could explain this matter clearly to Li Rusong, and then he would not mention it in Shen Wuyan, at most he would express some difficulties in private, and the problem would be ended.

It is absolutely impossible to send people to invite himself over in such a hurry and talk about these things again in front of everyone, so this time it is because it is impossible to borrow troops.

However, Shen Wuyan could probably only think of these things, because now that the envoy of the mission had been replaced by Lord Yang, he would also discuss all kinds of issues with the people of the mission.

If there is anything to discuss with Shen Wuyan, such as how the battle in Liaodong should be, or the problem of tactical and strategic planning, he will talk about it in private.

So just when Shen Wuyan was thinking about it, he finally arrived in front of the yamen of the General Military Mansion.

On weekdays, the Yamen of the General Army is very deserted, except for the generals who guard Ning Yuanzhu to stay here, the generals and generals next to them will return to their respective jurisdictions, and only in wartime will they discuss matters together.

In the founding year of the Ming Dynasty, the border has always been such a guard system, during the truce, a cadre of soldiers in Liaodong Tuntian, and so on, the farmer became a soldier and became a combat soldier.

The soldiers who manage these military camps are divided into guards, if the Jianzhou Guard that was divided before, it is the guard that was divided into the Jurchens back then, and the Ming Dynasty also has Tieling Guards and other guards to guard the Beijing Division.

Now the biggest official in Liaodong is Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong, in recent years, he has often fought in the enemy's formation, and is responsible for managing local affairs, which is basically a feudal official.

As soon as he walked into the lobby inside the yamen, Shen Wuyan felt a burst of surprise in his heart.

The structure of the hall is like that of a marching barracks, with the head of the army at the head, and then the seats according to their official positions. At this time, the hall was already full of generals in armor, as if they were about to go to the battlefield.

Li Chengliang's eyes were heavy, and he motioned for Shen Wuyan to sit next to him, and then looked around again, as if he was sure that the people who should come had arrived, and then said in a deep voice: "Ancestral Counselor General...... Can you tell me? ”

The voice was obviously impatient, but more than that, it was full of murderous intent. There was a big difference from the gentle man he usually seemed, and that words could even make several of the younger generals tremble.

However, the words were directed at the ancestor, and Shen Wuyan also looked sideways slightly, and saw the ancestor sitting at the table bowing his head slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Not silent for a long time, the ancestor raised his head slightly, hugged his fist respectfully towards Li Chengliang, and said loudly: "The last general doesn't think that Wu Qianhu will not be a Jurchen...... I'm afraid there is something else going on in this matter. ”

"Spies?" Shen Wuyan was shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but think of the hurried look of Steward Wu last night, the map he handed to him, and the map that he guessed might be an ambush laid by the Jurchens.

Now it seems that he may really be a spy, otherwise as Steward Wu, he would not have guessed that the Jurchens would set up an ambush, even if he was clever, but he would not know where to start.

Moreover, he could clearly mark the location of the Jurchens' ambush, as well as his uneasy look.

"That burden...... Shen Wuyan's face changed greatly, and he suddenly remembered the burden left by Steward Wu last night, and finally put it in a box and handed it over to Lord Yang for safekeeping, and said that it was handed over to him today.

Now that I think about it, there must be something strange in that baggage, maybe it was not accidentally left by Steward Wu, but it is more likely that he left it on purpose.

However, although he had such thoughts in his heart, Shen Wuyan never showed the slightest panic, he still lowered his head slightly, and quietly listened to the conversation in the field.

Li Chengliang was also thinking about the ancestor's words, but he was obviously still a little displeased, and after a while, he snorted coldly: "It's still Liaoyang City...... Can't Liaoyang live in peace? ”

Shen Wuyan didn't know what had happened in Liaoyang City before, but if a thousand households became the enemy's spies, it would really be a very terrible thing.

This shows that he is clear about the border defense of the entire Liaoyang City, and he only needs to inform the Jurchens of the specific arrangements for these defenses, then the defense of Liaoyang City will be completely abandoned.

It is also a very difficult matter to rearrange the defense, first, the deployment of troops, second, the adjustment of time, in short, it is not possible to redeploy in all aspects in a short time.

This means that Liaoyang City will be in danger in a short period of time, and it will encounter a surprise attack by the Jurchens at any time.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Li Chengliang to be so angry, and Shen Wuyan didn't feel strange, but he was thinking about another thing in his heart, but he didn't care about everyone's other conversations.

Although Steward Wu is not clear, he can still know that he has always been a subordinate of Wu Zhiyuan's father, and he has always fought with the Mongols all these years, but how he colluded with the Jurchens is really surprising.

"Lord Shen?"

After a while, Shen Wuyan came back to his senses, and saw Li Chengliang looking at him with a displeased face, and hurriedly responded, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Chengliang was slightly stunned, but he was also a little annoyed, thinking that today's incident was really sudden, even if he was stable on weekdays, he was very anxious, and at this time, Shen Wuyan was so slack, which made him even more annoyed.

However, after all, it was not good to attack Shen Wuyan, so he only paused for a moment before continuing: "Mr. Shen, you see...... The danger of this mission will certainly increase a lot...... So is it possible to postpone it for some time? ”

The so-called danger is that he is afraid that Steward Wu will leak the news of the envoy again, the envoy is a major matter, and the purpose of this envoy is related to the Jurchen, so the Jurchen will definitely stop it.

However, blocking is one thing, whether you can stop it, and whether you dare to block it, is another matter.

The Jurchens were worried about whether the envoy team was escorted by the Ming army, and the time of the envoy and the arrangement of the line, which were another aspect, affected the effect of the blocking.

In fact, under the Jurchen ambition, they would not take these into account, so the information provided by Steward Wu could only aggravate the dangerous course of the mission.

Shen Wuyan's heart moved slightly, he could see that Li Chengliang didn't actually want to ask this sentence, because he was no longer the head envoy of the mission, and this question should have been asked to Lord Yang.

The reason why he asked like this was probably because he suddenly felt that the previous question was not easy to ask for the time being, so he suddenly remembered to change the question and divert his attention.

Shen Wuyan didn't show surprise, but he was still very calm, and responded: "This matter should be decided by Lord Yang...... But...... Putting off shouldn't be a good thing......"

Li Chengliang and his eyebrows showed a hint of surprise indiscerningly, probably feeling that it was not easy for Shen Wuyan to take these things into account under such circumstances. So he then laughed and said, "It's not right to think about it...... The colder the weather gets, the more danger there will be. ”

Shen Wuyan hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Actually, the danger has been overestimated before, as for Steward Wu...... I've known him for a long time, though I'm not sure if he's a spy...... But it is certain that he did not know anything about the news of the mission. ”

In fact, Shen Wuyan himself didn't know anything about the exact path that the mission would choose to take after leaving Ningyuan, and how it would determine the time.

All this was arranged by Lord Yang, and as the head envoy of the mission, he needed to keep all this information secret. It's not that he is prejudiced against Shen Wuyan, it's really something within his part.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Chengliang already figured out what these questions were, and then suddenly said, "Actually, I called Mr. Shen this time...... There is another meaning, you are not only an envoy of the mission...... Or my deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong......"

The deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong hung up this position last year, and Shen Wuyan has not taken care of things since returning to the capital, and to put it bluntly, it is equivalent to eating empty salaries.

However, in the past year, Shen Wuyan's reputation in Liaodong has increased day by day, so his position here also has the effect of boosting morale, and no one in the army is dissatisfied.

It's just that at this moment, Li Chengliang mentioned this official position again, I'm afraid that he will have other intentions.

Shen Wuyan fixed his mind and said, "I won't forget this mission in the future......"

Li Chengliang hurriedly waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Shen, where is this, what does it mean...... The safety of Liaodong, as well as the tens of thousands of surnames...... But they all have a lot to do with you and me......"

Shen Wuyan was suddenly a little puzzled, these words were nothing more than some big and empty words, which were really useless, with Li Chengliang's temper, he would definitely not call himself here because of these words.

Slightly swept over the generals who were still calm, Shen Wuyan had a question in his heart, but he couldn't grasp the problem, so he had to hug his fist and say, "I will definitely live up to my mission......

Li Chengliang nodded heavily, and glanced at Shen Wuyan with great meaning, and then swept over the ancestor, and snorted lightly: "You took over Ruxuan's position...... However, Liaodong has not been bad this year...... Make up for it. ”

The ancestor's gaze always fell on the table, and he never moved in the slightest, until Li Chengliang's voice fell, and then he said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Lord for your grace...... However, the mission will definitely be in danger this time...... I don't know how Mr. Shen arranged it? ”
