Chapter 148: Luoyang City Secret Report
"It's the book of the military department." General Jin Wu corrected solemnly.
"Oh." Zhao Wanqing also reacted flatly, "I'm too excited to make a mistake, I'm sorry." ”
General Jin Wu said again: "The position of the secretary of the military department has not fallen for a long time, and who has the final say in the military department remains to be discussed, not to mention that the county guards of the seven states have their own selfish intentions earlier, and they have their own set of means for recruiting and training troops, and military supplies are also allocated by themselves in the state's finances, and they have long been out of the hands of the imperial court." Just like us generals who have empty titles and no real power, the military department has gradually become the military department of Luoyang City, and it is useless for the soldiers of Qizhou Prefecture. ”
Zhao Wanqing thought about it and asked with some doubts: "Then I was in Linzi before, it seems that there is no such situation?" ”
General Jinwu said: "Linzi City is located in Beizhou, and the county guard of Beizhou is the first state to be deposed from the old county guard and replace the elected officials of the imperial court after the new emperor ascended the throne, so the military power of Beizhou has been recovered by the imperial court, and the county guard naturally does not dare to control you, the general Zhenguan specially sent by the imperial court." ”
Zhao Wanqing listened to the more and more background settings in this world, and couldn't help frowning, and said: "Let's talk about strengthening the army first, anyway, the county guards of Bangzhou have retreated, at least for now, Anyang City is still up to me, isn't it?" ”
General Jin Wu said: "General, I still say the same thing, send a secret letter to the imperial court, everything is already in the layout, you don't need to bother more." ”
Zhao Wanqing immediately showed a helpless expression, and General Jinwu said: "Anyway, you have neither power nor accumulation in the court, so why should a woman be reluctantly involved in the power dispute?" ”
"I don't like to hear what you say," Zhao Wanqing said bluntly, "What's wrong with women, haven't you heard of equality between men and women?" ”
General Jin Wu smiled slightly, noncommittal.
Zhao Wanqing thought for a while and asked, "So what does King Yu mean, he will definitely not help me?" ”
General Kongo lowered his head, still not answering.
Zhao Wanqing only regarded him as acquiescing, so she looked ahead and walked down the steps of the city gate, as if talking to herself and as if she was saying to General Jinwu; "If you don't help, you won't help, I can do it myself."
After tossing in the middle of the night, when Zhao Wanqing returned to the barracks, the sky was already dark, she was not sleepy, and she didn't want to sleep, so she just went to the training ground to hang out.
The four brothers of the Jiang family were very "dedicated" and followed her every step of the way, while General Jinwu, who disagreed with Zhao Wanqing, returned to the camp to rest very heartily.
"Ugh." Zhao Wanqing sighed, looking at the part of the Bangzhou army that was gathering and practicing as usual on the training ground, she realized for the first time what "sorrow" was, compared with the iron cavalry in the Wei-Chu coalition army, these soldiers who held spears and short shields, made movements from time to time, and made a "heha" sound, are simply stunted bean sprouts, no matter how you look at it, they must be just over the Wei-Chu coalition army!
Thinking about it, Zhao Wanqing sighed again: "Alas. ”
"Why is the general sighing?" The Jiang family brothers on the side asked in unison.
Zhao Wanqing turned her head slightly and said, "The strength of the Bangzhou army is like this, how can it be against the Wei-Chu coalition army?" ”
The four of them looked at each other, and then Jiangbei said as a representative: "General...... Actually, General Kongo is right......"
His tone was hesitant, and he exchanged glances with his other brothers from time to time, as if he was afraid that Zhao Wanqing would blame.
But Zhao Wanqing still blamed a little: "What? Are you also the people sent by King Yu to my side? ”
"Of course not!" The Jiang brothers immediately cleared up, "We are loyal to the general!" ”
Zhao Wanqing was a little bored, so she said: "Then don't persuade me to listen to General Jinwu's words, as soon as the secret letter is sent and the soldiers retreat, can I, the general, return to Anyang again?" ”
Although she didn't know what Jiang Chengyuan was really planning, she was absolutely clear that Jiang Chengyuan had other candidates to serve as the general of the auxiliary country, and Zhao Wanqing couldn't predict what the fate of the three kingdoms would be, but she had a faint feeling that the whole company was looking forward to being laid off.
Jiang Bei shook his head when he saw Zhao Wanqing, and then said: "General, the subordinates are definitely not the same as General Jinwu, they are just ...... This time, there are 500,000 Wei and Chu coalition troops, even in terms of numbers, we have no chance of winning......"
"How many are coming?!" Zhao Wanqing turned her head in surprise, because she was so shocked, she was choked by her own saliva.
"Five hundred thousand." Jiangbei replied.
"Huh?!" Zhao Wanqing was surprised again, and immediately braked on the spot and walked into the barracks, talking to the Jiang brothers as she walked: "Why didn't anyone tell me?" ”
Jiangbei said: "Your subordinates think you know......"
"I ......" Zhao Wanqing paused, retracted the rhetorical question, jumped to the next topic and said, "Is the number accurate?" ”
"Well," Jiang Bei nodded, "the wire report has been sent back three times." ”
"Uh......" Zhao Wanqing paused again, "What is a wire report?" ”
Jiang Bei replied: "If the spies sent out can come back alive, they will bring a military report from the front line, which is the line report." ”
While speaking, several people had already walked back to the barracks, and the Bangzhou County guard had withdrawn, and the largest camp tent for "meetings" naturally belonged to Zhao Wanqing, as soon as she lifted the curtain and walked in, she waved her hand and sat down behind the desk in the middle.
"Pen, ink, paper, inkstone." Zhao Wanqing said.
The Jiang brothers immediately presented her with a full set of the four treasures of the study, and Zhao Wanqing's smooth movements finally got stuck when she was about to write the first word.
The tip of the brush in her hand fell and lifted on the white paper, and finally turned her head to look at the Jiang family brothers: "How to write a secret letter?" ”
The Jiang brothers sent Zhao Wanqing to perform a "fainting", but their expressions were definitely about to "faint", Jiang Bei asked: "General, didn't you say not to send a secret letter?" ”
Zhao Wanqing paused, and finally found an excuse to save face; "Don't you send it...... I'm just trying to test the meaning of the imperial court first, in case, I mean that if you really can't defeat the Wei and Chu coalition forces, then there is one more way to go, isn't it? ”
Jiang Bei nodded with admiration and said; "This matter was proposed by General Jingo, why don't you ask him how to write it?"
Zhao Wanqing unconsciously poked her chin with the pen and said, "But I just told him that I would never send it, and I turned my head and asked him what the secret letter was about, was it a bit of a slap in the face?" ”
"It's a little." After a moment of silence, the Jiang family brothers said in unison.
Zhao Wanqing shook her head, and was about to try to write a secret letter by herself, when suddenly someone from outside the camp came to report: "General! Received a secret report from Luoyang City! ”
Zhao Wanqing immediately threw away the brush: "Take it to me to see." ”
Jiang Bei hurriedly walked over to get the letter, and then walked up and forwarded it to Zhao Wanqing.
Zhao Wanqing took the envelope and couldn't help but guess, was this a love letter written to her by Jiang Chengyuan, or a unilateral instruction written by Jiang Miaochen to her, or was it just an irrelevant content from the little emperor?
But she also knew in her heart that the first conjecture was the least likely.
"I know with my feet, how could he possibly write me a love letter? Or is it in the case of a friendship rating of 30? Zhao Wanqing muttered, opened the envelope without hurry, and saw that there were three folded notes inside.
She opens them one after the other, and it reads as follows:
"The candidate for the secretary of the military department has not been decided, Xiao Yue (Yu), Ren Qi (Kang), Kuang Zheng (middle), who are you betting on?"
"The harmony was canceled, but King Yu took Princess Qinyi to the mansion for a temporary stay."
"Newly made jasmine sachets, I guess you'll love it."
After Zhao Wanqing read them all, she knew that this was what Ling Shuangyin brought her, so she began to look at the first one again: "Candidate for the secretary of the military department?" ”
Zhao Wanqing read in a low voice, and then her eyes fell on the next three names, as for the words in parentheses, "Yu", probably Yu Wang Jiang Chengyuan, "Kang", it seems to be the title of the sixth prince Jiang Miaochen, it is written on the information card, as for "medium", Zhao Wanqing thought about it and felt that it should mean "neutral".
She then picked up the pen and began to reply: "Charge Kuangzheng." ”
In fact, the name of the military department has little to do with her, the general, not to mention that one of the candidates is the person of King Yu, the other is the person of the six kings, and there is no one with her, she is still more inclined to compromise and choose a neutral one.
Then Zhao Wanqing looked at the next one: the harmony was canceled, but King Yu took Princess Qinyi to the mansion for a temporary stay.
"Temporary?" Zhao Wanqing struggled with the word for a while, and then her brows furrowed deeper and deeper, almost becoming a standard "Sichuan" character.
"These two people ......" Zhao Wanqing indignantly read the contents of the letter several times, and then began to write hard: "My friend Shuangyin, read that you and I have met and cherished each other, please be sure to go to find out the truth for me, otherwise, I (cross out) my heart is uneasy, and the war will be lost!" ”
Zhao Wanqing wrote a paragraph of crepe words, and the last word "矣" was changed twice before it was written correctly, after writing, she remembered to ask the Jiang brothers about the traditional Chinese characters in today's world, and finally changed the content of the reply again, and then put it back into the envelope.
When she was about to open the envelope, a pink and white gadget suddenly fell out of the envelope, Zhao Wanqing picked it up from the desk and looked at it, sure enough, it was Lingshuangyin brand wholesale sachet, she sniffed it and put the sachet into her sleeve, and then handed the envelope to the Jiang brothers, and asked, "How long will it take to arrive at the earliest?" ”
Jiangbei received the letter in his hand and said, "It will take three days to pass the book quickly." ”
"Oh." Zhao Wanqing nodded, and had no choice but to accept this "setting".
"But," Jiang Bei said, "if the flying pigeon passes the book, it will only take one day to arrive, is the general in a hurry?" ”
"I'm in a hurry." Zhao Wanqing, who was about to get up, immediately turned her head and said, "Be sure to send the letter to me in the fastest way." ”
"Yes, General." Jiangbei took the letter and retreated.
At this time, Jiang Nan asked again: "General, what is the secret letter...... Do you still write? ”
"If you don't write it, you won't write it," Zhao Wanqing walked down the steps, "I'm not in the mood now, let me think about it again." ”
