Chapter 62 Throwing Stones and Asking for Directions

Tian Shenglan was the first to comment on Wu Sinan's city defense, saying that doing so was very effective in resisting the sudden attack of the Tartar cavalry. But after saying this, he followed the conversation for a while, and continued: "But...... When he sent the town to guard the camp outside the north gate, he arranged for the guerrilla general Xu Guangda. Let's talk about Xu Guangda first, under my nephew's hands, he was not willing, when the Great Khan came, his men and horses were stationed in the city, with heavy casualties, and there were only about 200 people left under his command. Wu Sinan was not chosen by others, but only chose him to garrison the camp outside the city, would it be a coincidence? I don't think so, the number of soldiers and horses in the city, Wu Sinan knows, when he came to the parade last time, my nephew also reported to him the situation of the defenders in the city, Xu Guangda only has so many people left, Wu Sinan can see it in the file. At first, he said that he wanted 1,000 people to be stationed in the camp outside the north gate, but in the end, he chose him, knowing that Xu Guangda only had people under his command. What is the purpose of this? ”

Speaking of this, Tian Shenglan paused before continuing: "What is Wu Sinan's intention in choosing Xu Guangda to guard the camp outside the north gate? I'll talk about it later, I'll talk about another thing now, that is, when Wu Sinan proposed that Xu Guangda be in charge of the camp outside the north gate, Qin Nansong, who was guarding the north gate, objected, and his reason was very good, first he said that he was guarding the north gate, and by the way, he took the command of the camp outside the north gate to facilitate defense; Then he said that Xu Guangda only had about 200 people left, which was not enough at all. According to common sense, it is difficult to refute such a reason, but at this time, Wu Sinan actually mentioned the battle of Zhangjiakou a few days ago, and he insisted on confirming the crime of Qin Nansong's soldiers escaping from the battle. After sitting down, he only seized the right of Qin Nansong to guard the north gate, let his men and horses dig trenches and set up tents outside the city, and ordered Liu Zhenyou to take over the defense of the gate. Although I was not present at the time, I just listened to my nephew's story, he said that at that time, he and Qin Nansong were so frightened that they were sweating, and they were afraid that Wu Sinan would hear about the confrontation between the soldiers, eating empty foreheads, drinking soldiers' blood, and fleeing from the battle. But as a result, Wu Sinan only thundered and rained, and did not continue to investigate. At a point, I can be sure that Wu Sinan has sensed the general situation of the battle of Zhangjiakou, as well as the matter of my nephew eating empty quotas. But also, my nephew's little bit of cattiness in Zhangjiakou, as long as he is in it, he can see it, and he is just willing to pursue it. He said that 10,000 people died, so how tragic this battle was, with his wine bag and rice bag, can he fight it? Wu Sinan probably saw it, but he didn't pursue it. The reason why I didn't investigate it is, firstly, because I received the benefits of my nephew, and secondly, I can guess how much my nephew has a backstage in Beijing. After all, he lost Zhangjiakou in one day, and the court didn't blame it, if he didn't have any connections, it is estimated that his head would have moved. Wu Sinan caught my nephew's shortcomings, asked Xu Guangda to guard the camp outside the north gate, seized the north gate of Qin Nansong, and replaced it with Liu Zhenyou. Qin Nansong is my nephew's cronies, Wu Sinan may not know this, but he can think of it, after all, guarding the north gate is fat, not a confidant, and he can't get this errand. The newly replaced Liu Zhenyou is actually my nephew's person, Wu Sinan is new to this point, it is difficult to say whether he knows or not, if he knows, it means that this person is really powerful. To sum up, let's look at Wu Sinan again, his approach is very targeted, he changed Qin Nansong's errand, to put it bluntly, it is a knock on the mountain and a tiger, give my nephew a wake-up call, tell my nephew, he knows everything, but he doesn't want to say it. Replaced by Liu Zhenyou, if he knows that Liu Zhenyou is my nephew's person, it means that he is telling my nephew that he is just Liwei, it should be yours or yours; If he didn't know that Liu Zhenyou was my nephew's person, it could only be explained as a random person, and there was no special meaning. But no matter what, this Wu Sinan is still quite acquainted, and he has no intention of embarrassing my nephew. Now let's talk about the previous question, why did Wu Sinan let Xu Guangda camp outside the north gate, what kind of place is Zhangjiakou, every inch of land is gold, grab a handful of sand on the ground, and pick out the place of gold, Wu Sinan will not know. Xu Guangda is the weakest of the generals under my nephew, because he has the least soldiers and horses, Wu Sinan has been in the sea for a long time, it is impossible not to know, Xu Guangda must be the most unambitious. Supporting such a person to guard the north gate, to put it bluntly, this camp outside the city is not his own. These days, everyone outside the city has also seen the situation, and it can be described as a wild goose, Wu Sinan, he doesn't know, he knows better than anyone else, at least more than half of the hundreds of taels of silver every day fell into his pocket. If you say 300 miles a day, it is nearly 10,000 taels a month, and how much you get in a year. It's not worth this, in the past, Zhangjiakou, the entry and exit gates were said by my nephew alone, and now he is such a big camp, and he is the governor, this mouth is now clearly two people to manage, just give my nephew a gift, don't you have to bring his share, if you don't give money, whether it is out of the customs or entering the customs, you will definitely be tossed to death. You can see it, literati are literati, there are many more eyes than generals, and there are ways to make money. The new official took office with three fires, and this one burned very beautifully, on the surface it increased the city defense of Zhangjiakou, and secretly hit my nephew, and the most practical silver was also caught. Talent, talent ......"

After Tian Shenglan's analysis, Wu Sinan was defined as a big corrupt official with a lot of brains.

After Tian Shenglan finished speaking, the other seven people present basically nodded, thinking that the analysis was very reasonable. However, there was one old brother who did not nod, and this benevolent brother was Wang Dengku. Wang Dengku and Zhao Yan, the superintendent, have a deep friendship, and of course friendship is also based on interests. At this time, I only heard Wang Dengku say: "Brother Tian, there is nothing wrong with your analysis, but I do have a question. ”

"Brother Wang, you have something to ask, but it doesn't hurt to say it. I didn't say it just now, big things are important, I hope you have more opinions, so that everyone can brainstorm and be more thoughtful. Tian Shenglan said humbly.

"Then I'll get straight to the point. You say that Wu Sinan is for money, but I have such a question, this Wu Sinan was arranged by Yue Su, if this Wu Sinan only likes money, will Yue Su transfer him from Fujian? Another point, as you just said, is that anyone with a discerning eye can see the matter of your nephew in Zhangjiakou and the matter of 10,000 officers and soldiers who died in battle. That Yue Su also led soldiers, how shrewd, would he see it? Yue Su has always had no sand in his eyes, how could he let your nephew go so easily? He asked Wu Sinan to come, it wouldn't be because of another deep meaning. ”

"Brother Wang is too worried about this. Since Yue Su is mentioned, then I will talk about Yue Su first, Yue Su really does not tolerate sand in his eyes, he came to Zhangjiakou, if you see it, then think about it, with his character, he must not directly press my nephew under the guillotine. As far as my nephew's bear is concerned, I guess I have to say anything, I guess I have to confess even the little hiding in my place, Yue Sushun vine melon found my door, I can resist death, but I don't know if the people below me can't bear it. So, to tell the truth, if Yue Su wanted to do it, he would have done it a long time ago, and he couldn't wait until now. ”

As soon as Tian Shenglan said this, everyone nodded again and again, even Wang Dengku nodded in agreement. Indeed, with Lord Yue's temper, if he sensed that something was wrong in Zhangjiakou, he would definitely hold Tian Xiu down directly, and after a little trial, everything would be tried, how could he wait until today.

"Let's talk about why Wu Sinan was transferred to Xuanfu as the governor." Tian Shenglan said eloquently: "The Tartars broke through Zhangjiakou one day, coming and going as if they were walking on the ground, Yue Su is also a big lord, how can it be difficult to be a deputy general, it must be to change the governor of Xuanfu." As we said before, this is normal, and it would be abnormal if we didn't change it. Besides, Wu Sinan, didn't we also check his bottom, the people in the Yue Party, in such an important place as the Xuanfu, isn't it normal for Yue Su to settle his own people? Wu Sinan used to be the governor of Fujian, what he did in Fujian, don't we all already understand, it's fair to do things, but it is inevitable to make some money, this person likes to go to the land of fireworks, can he do it without money. Now there are a lot of opportunities now, guarding the cash cow, if you don't shake it, you will drop the silver, just bend down to pick it up, he will be tired, who can withstand this. Also, the officials of the Yue Party, we don't know each other, and they are not all the same, there are a few officials in the world who don't love money as much as Yue Su. ”

"Brother Tian, after you said this, the little brother can be said to be suddenly open, isn't this exactly how things are placed? The younger brother was too worried. After Wang Dengku finished speaking, he actually laughed, as if he was laughing at the crows in the world.

He laughed out loud, and the others, of course, understood what they were laughing at, and they all laughed along.

After laughing in the hall for a while, Fan Yongdou said solemnly: "Okay, Brother Tian's analysis, you have also heard it, who still has different opinions." ”

"No more!" "Brother Tian's analysis is extremely reasonable." "Neither do I." ……

Everyone shook their heads one after another, expressing their agreement with Tian Shenglan's analysis and had no objections. Seeing this situation, Fan Yongdou said again: "Actually, I also agree with Brother Tian's opinion, since everyone agrees, let's do what we should do." Brother Wang, Brother Jin, the goods don't need to be stored anymore, and they will be shipped out of customs and shipped to Shengjing in the next two days. ”

"Well, we both can't wait, everything is in the car, and we can leave at any time. It's just that the younger brother wants to ask more, before shipping, do you need to send some filial piety to Lord Wu first? Wang Dayu said.

"This is the first time we have shipped goods since Wu Sinan arrived, and we will pay homage when we come up. On the contrary, it will arouse suspicion......" Speaking of this, Fan Yongdou sighed, and after thinking for a while, he said: "After your reminder, I suddenly came up with a plan to throw stones and ask for directions. ”
