Chapter Ninety-Three: Reminder

"Cangling, General Zhang Shijie was transferred to Sichuan, served as the deputy envoy of Chengxuan, and was stationed in Hezhou, this matter caused some discussion in the DPRK, and even involved me, at that time I was still in Jiankang Mansion, I didn't know about it at all, and during this time when I returned to the capital, I asked a little, I feel that there is something strange in it, I don't know if you can solve my doubts.

When Li Tingzhi said this, he looked at Wu Shaogang, and his eyes were very sharp.

Wu Shaogang is calm on the surface, but his heart is turbulent.

Calculating Zhang Shijie's affairs, he did it extremely secretly, only the fourth master knew all about it, Huang Maosheng, the shopkeeper of Jiale Building, didn't know the reason, the good relationship of Wei Zhengjiang, who knew about it, had already disappeared, and Wei Zheng would also return to his hometown.

It can be said that if the fourth master does not open his mouth on this matter, it is impossible for outsiders to know.

Now that Li Tingzhi opened his mouth to inquire about this matter, Wu Shaogang thought about how to explain it, this matter must not be explained to him, because it involves the guild and the fourth master, which is the power that Wu Shaogang needs to use in the future, and it cannot be exposed.

It is impossible for Wu Shaogang to think about completely shirking this matter, after all, Li Tingzhi must know about the grievances between Wu Shaogang and Zhang Shijie, otherwise he would not have asked seriously at this moment.

"I don't know what my father-in-law wants to know."

"Zhang Shijie won the appreciation of Jia Youxiang, after the battle of Hezhou, he was able to serve as the deputy commander of the front division of the palace, the commander of the urging army, there is no big mistake, and it will never be degraded to Sichuan, Zhang Shijie and the grievances between you, I also know some, Jia Youxiang once told me some reasons, the front of the palace commander Ma Huaxuan also said, hearing their words, I know that there are so many contradictions between Zhang Shijie and you, it is impossible for you to have a harmonious relationship, I know that you are not a person who is tied up, will definitely find a way, but from the mouths of Jia Youxiang and Ma Du's commanders, I feel that they are not the ones to deal with Zhang Shijie, so I feel puzzled, who has such a great ability to make Zhang Shijie suffer such a setback. ā€

After Li Tingzhi finished speaking, Wu Shaogang had already figured out how to answer, but he still had to ask a few questions.

"Father-in-law, there are a few things, Cangling didn't get an answer, I want to ask my father-in-law, first, the contradiction between Zhang Shijie and Cangling seems to come from the battle of Ezhou, Cangling heard that Zhang Shijie was strongly asked to participate in the battle, but he was not allowed, and lost the opportunity to make great achievements, Zhang Shijie was in Tanzhou at that time, following Jia Youxiang, I don't know if Zhang Shijie can not participate in the battle, whether it has a certain relationship with Jia Youxiang."

"Second, Zhang Shijie dealt with Cangling in the urging army, what he did had already exceeded the bottom line of the principle, Cangling, as the deputy general of the urging army, and the main general, could not ask about any matters in the urging army, and Zhang Shijie was also ready to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle and dispatch the sergeants under Cangling, Zhang Shijie's actions, whether the commander of Sima Du in front of the palace knew about it."

"Third, Zhang Shijie was originally an officer of the Jin Army, once under the command of Zhang Rou, won the trust of Zhang Rouzhi, the Jin Kingdom perished, Zhang Rou defected to the Mongolian army, and is now a general of the Mongolian army, won the trust of Kublai Khan, and Zhang Shijie is to submit to my Song Dynasty, the battle of Huangzhou, it is Zhang Rou who is stationed in Huangzhou, Zhang Shijie should know, in that situation, Zhang Shijie still wants to participate in the battle, did not think of avoiding suspicion, is it possible that Zhang Shijie is eager to prove something, In other words, Zhang Shijie felt that he could not be fully trusted by the imperial court, and thought that he could defeat and destroy Zhang Rou, and speak with facts. ā€

After Wu Shaogang finished asking, he looked at Li Tingzhi.

Li Tingzhi was quite shocked, and he couldn't imagine that Wu Shaogang knew so many things.

After a moment of silence, Li Tingzhi finally spoke.

"Cangling, your analysis is good, it was Zhang Rou who guarded Huangzhou at the beginning, in this case, let Zhang Shijie participate in the battle, if there are other changes, who will bear this responsibility, so Jia Youxiang also has this consideration, as for what Zhang Shijie did in the urging army, Ma Huaxuan is fully aware, but the things in this army are very complicated, and they are by no means as simple as they seem, Zhang Shijie dealt with you at the beginning, Ma Huaxuan has no need to completely offend Zhang Shijie for your business."

"Okay, Cangling, I've explained everything that should be explained, and then you can explain it too."

Wu Shaogang coughed twice and spoke slowly.

"Father-in-law, when I first arrived in the urging army, I felt that Zhang Shijie's attitude was wrong, and he had a great opinion on me, I don't understand the reason, I have always been very confused, after returning to the capital from Jiankang Mansion, in the face of Zhang Shijie's calculation again, I feel that this matter is not simple, if I can't figure out the reason for this, I am afraid that it will end miserably, the current Jiangzhou governor Li Siqi, father-in-law must know, when Cangling was able to enter the palace from the Ezhou Imperial Army, Li Siqi is a great force."

"Feeling the approaching danger, Cangling specifically found Li Siqi and asked straight to the point, Li Siqi did not hide it, and said the reason, Zhang Shijie had a huge opinion on Lord Lu Wende, Cangling was trusted by Lord Lu at that time, and undertook the heavy task of attacking Huangzhou City, and successfully completed the combat mission and captured the Huangzhou City where Zhang Rou was stationed, so Zhang Shijie had a great opinion on Cangling, Zhang Shijie could not deal with Lord Lu directly, so he thought that he could deal with Cangling, and gradually calculated Lord Lu."

"Knowing the reason, Cangling clearly informed Li Siqi that this matter still needs to be solved by Lord Lu, if Zhang Shijie is allowed to act so nonsense, he will also be unable to protect himself, Cangling analyzed many possibilities at the time and completely persuaded Li Siqi, as for Zhang Shijie being reprimanded to Sichuan later, Cangling really doesn't know the reason."

Li Siqi nodded slightly.

"Cangling, you mean that Lu Wende took action against Zhang Shijie."

"Cangling is not sure, what is going on, Cangling is also confused."

Li Tingzhi looked at Wu Shaogang and opened his mouth meaningfully.

"This matter can't be done by Lu Wende, Lu Wende doesn't have that kind of responsibility."

Looking at Wu Shaogang's frank expression, Li Tingzhi thought for a moment and changed the topic.

"Cangling, you once fought in Ezhou, let me ask you one thing, after capturing the city of Huangzhou, can you open the treasury and take the money and grain in the treasury."

"Father-in-law, after Cangling captured the city of Huangzhou, he ordered the sergeants to strictly guard the treasury and not to approach, and after Lord Lu led the troops into the city, Cangling completely handed over the treasury to Lord Lu, and did not touch the treasury."

"That's true."

"Cangling dares to swear that there are many witnesses to this matter, and they can all come forward to testify."

"That's good, you're in good control, so I'm relieved."

Looking at Li Tingzhi's soothing expression, Wu Shaogang was a little confused.

"Why did my father-in-law ask about this, although Cangling has not been in the army for a long time, he also knows that because of the lack of grain and grass, after the army fought hard to recover the city, it is very common to take money and grain on the spot, and the court has not pursued this matter, after all, it is a victory, and it is expected to get some money and grain."

"Cangling, do you really think this kind of approach is appropriate?"

"It's not suitable, the army should be Qiu without committing any crimes, Cao Cao cut his hair and acted as the head during the Three Kingdoms period, and the story of strict military discipline, Cangling remembers it very clearly."

"That's a very good point, I'm afraid that you also have this understanding, do you know that some commanders in the army, after recovering the city, think of not appeasing the people and restoring local order, but the unscrupulous greed for money and food, they use the excuse that the army is short of money and food, wantonly embezzle the money and grain in the treasury, and also exploit the people, leading to the withering of the place, if such evil deeds, if they cannot be stopped, what combat effectiveness can the army have in the future."

Wu Shaogang's body trembled slightly, could it be that the imperial court was preparing to open the knife for that matter, I don't know how many commanders have done such a thing, and the imperial court will be in charge.

"What does my father-in-law mean, is the imperial court ready to settle such a situation?"

Li Tingzhi looked at Wu Shaogang and nodded again.

"Yes, Jia Youxiang is not used to these things, and is ready to carry out a large-scale liquidation after the beginning of the year.

Hearing Li Tingzhi say this, Wu Shaogang's expression was very serious, but he didn't think so in his heart.

Jia Yidao's determination is good, but this kind of thing, the difficulty of the investigation is too great, and if you are not careful, it may evolve into mutual tilting and calculation between the powerful, and there are too many such examples throughout the ages.

Wu Shaogang doesn't need you to worry, he has not been involved in the battle for a long time, and he is not the commander of the army, the only time is to lead the troops to capture the city of Huangzhou alone, but he has not taken any money and food in the treasury, so he doesn't have to worry at all.

As for the reward received after victory, this is a matter of course, and no one can say anything.

Seeing that Wu Shaogang's expression had always been very calm, Li Tingzhi was completely relieved, and he stood up.

"Cangling, this matter is a top secret matter of the imperial court, you must not leak it out, you are still young, you have not been in the army for a long time, and you will encounter a lot of things in the future, you have to remember, no matter what you encounter, you have to think more, how to make the best decision, whether there is anything inappropriate about this decision, if you can think of this, you don't have to worry."

"Cangling remembered."

"Alright, it's almost time, let's go to dinner."

Following behind Li Tingzhi and walking towards the lobby, Wu Shaogang lowered his head and looked quite serious, and in the dark, he had a feeling that Jia Yidao was preparing to carry out a large-scale cleanup, the purpose of which was to think about serious military discipline and military regulations, but the effect may not be like this, maybe in the process of cleaning up, some unexpected things will happen, and it may even cause the political situation to be shaken.
