Chapter 396: Contact
Su Zhang took them back to the General's Mansion and asked them to take out the map and show them.
"The Liao State has gathered a lot of troops here, with Ganle as the main general and Ganzhun as the deputy general, and now the proven troops are mainly distributed in these places." Su Zhang drew a few circles on the map, and then clicked on a dot in the northwest corner and said: "This is Wendihan, Sang County is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he hasn't made a move yet, but we don't dare to slack off, and we don't dare to transfer the soldiers and horses of Sang County to come over to support." ”
Lin Qingwan asked, "Wendi Han is a fierce general, and his prestige in the army is no less than that of Ganle, how can he be left in this place?" ”
Su Zhang glanced at her before saying, "This time, Ganle and Ganzhun both led the troops to the battle, which is different from the past. ”
In the past, Wendihan led the troops alone, and these two brothers could sit back and enjoy their success, but now that the three of them led the troops together, then they could no longer let Wendihan's limelight overshadow them.
Lin Qingwan pursed her lips and said, "So Wen Dihan was suppressed, right?" ”
"It's not suppressed," Su Zhang said: "This is a common thing in the army, compared to what Wendihan suffered before, what are these worth?" ”
Lin Qingwan turned around and said, "Let's go to Sang County, and ask General Su to send us two guides." ”
General Su's face changed a few times, and he was silent for a while before he said, "The county lord has thought about it?" ”
Lin Qingwan sighed and said, "I thought about it before I came, I can't escape from the battle, right?" ”
General Su looked at Lin Qingwan and sighed, the Lin family is really loyal to the country.
He went down in silence to arrange.
Wu Shilang and the others went down to eat with Lin Qingwan, and they went to Sang County after a while.
Try to enter the county seat before nightfall, otherwise it will be good to spend the night outside in the winter.
Although I slept in the open all the way, I felt much more uncomfortable when I saw that I could get into the hot quilt.
The matter of the peace talks is confidential, and the news does not leave the capital, and only Xu Lian and Su Zhang and the adjutant around them know about it.
Before the matter is completed, no one dares to spread the word.
Lin Qingwan said to Wu Shilang while eating: "Ask General Su in a while if there are any Han people around Wen Dihan." ”
Wu Shilang pinched his chopsticks and asked, "The county lord wants to contact Wendihan through those Han people?" ”
"The Han people who can be staff members around the Liao people may not have a good character, but their talents must be not small, and their scheming is not comparable to us, such people can be used."
Wu Shilang nodded, "I'll go to him after dinner to ask for information." ”
Lin Qingwan nodded and stopped talking.
After eating, Wu Shilang was busy, and Yi Han asked the girl from the General's Mansion to bring a basin of hot water, "County Lord, you can freshen up." ”
Lin Qingwan smiled at him gratefully, and slept in the open along the way, what she needed most was a basin of hot water.
Lin Qingwan had just finished washing her face, and Wu Shilang came back with two pieces of paper, standing outside the door and reporting: "County Lord, General Su has already arranged it." ”
Lin Qingwan casually picked a little fragrant honey to wipe her face, put on her cloak and went out.
The girls in the General's Mansion were stunned, they were serving their ladies, where had they ever seen a boudoir lady serving her face so casually?
Even the eldest lady, who has always been careless, would not dare to be so casual in winter.
Lin Qingwan had already walked out quickly and said, "Get in the car and go." ”
Su Zhang waited outside the gate, glanced at the sky and said, "I'm afraid it's going to snow, so the county lord might as well wait for tomorrow before leaving." ”
If it snows and you spend the night outside, you can really freeze to death.
Lin Qingwan also glanced up at the sky, shook her head and said, "It's about to snow, and the offensive of the Liao army may be suspended, but what if their grain and grass can't withstand consumption, what if they don't attack?" The sooner we get to Sang County, the better it will be for us. ”
Su Zhang stopped persuading, "I asked people to change your horses, the speed should be faster." ”
Lin Qingwan nodded gratefully, got into the carriage and said, "Thank you General Su, I need your more cooperation in the future." ”
Su Zhang sighed, "Although I don't want to negotiate peacefully, but for the sake of the big beam, I will cooperate with the county lord." ”
He fought a lifelong war with the Liao State, and his father's generation was forced by the Liao people to Yangzhou without peace talks, so he was also one of the people who could not accept peace talks.
But what Lin Qingwan said also makes sense, at this time, it may be the thousands of people in the back of Dingzhou who are suffering, and this is not a responsibility he can bear.
And as long as you don't cut the soil, everything is negotiable.
Wu Shilang also got into the carriage, and the fifty-three people rushed to Sang County non-stop, this time Yi Han also rode on the horse, and the other eight guards from the Lin family guarded Lin Qingwan's carriage around.
The group of people hurried up, and the sun did not stop after setting, and finally arrived before the city gate was closed, at this time it was already dark, and in the face of more than 50 strong soldiers, the guards guarding the city were very vigilant, and finally the captain on the wall came down, checked Lin Qingwan's documents and signs, and glanced at the guide sent by Su Zhang before letting people in.
At the same time, he sent people and General Tang of Shousang County to report.
Wu Shilang asked tiredly, "County Lord, where do we live?" ”
Is it to go to the county office, or to the barracks?
Lin Qingwan rubbed her forehead and said, "Let's go to the post station." ”
Wu Shilang was stunned.
Lin Qingwan smiled and said, "It's not good for us to come here to let more people know, so let's go to the post station and let General Tang and Lan County Ling come to see us." ”
Wu Shilang responded, hurriedly said to the guards, and everyone went to the post station.
Sang County is not big, and the post station is actually only a quarter of an hour away from the county office.
After rushing for many days, as soon as she arrived at the post station, Lin Qingwan did not restrain everyone, waved her hand and said, "You all go down to eat and rest." ”
Yi Han had already divided the eight people into two teams, letting the four of them go to wash and eat first, and the remaining four people continued to guard Lin Qingwan.
Lin Qingwan said to Yi Han: "You can also go down and rest." ”
Seeing that he was about to excuse himself, he said: "There is still a tough battle to fight behind, how can you protect me if you don't rest?" ”
Yi Han asked, "The county lord is going to see him tomorrow?" ”
Lin Qingwan sighed, "Where is it so easy, General Su has already sent someone to contact, and now we can only listen to the echo over there, if it really doesn't work, we can only trespass." ”
She wants to enter the Liao border from Sang County, this matter can be concealed from the Lan County Order, but she can't hide it from the Tang Counselor General, and she not only has to contact the army through the Tang Counselor General, but also has to contact the Beijing Lifan Yuan through the Lan County Order, so it is impossible for her to hide it from them.
Lin Qingwan took a bath, and then went downstairs to meet General Tang and Lan County Order, Wu Shilang took out several documents and handed over to the two of them, from today on, their contact with the capital and the Northeast Army mainly depends on these two people.
For safety, they would each send four guards to follow them.
This is a common practice, and neither of them has a problem.
The four of them discussed a military map for half a night, and set the route for Lin Qingwan to enter Liao, and then retreated.
Compared with Su Zhang, General Tang Shen and Lan Xianling were more able to accept Lin Qingwan as the envoy of the peace talks.
She has become the secretary of the Imperial Academy, it can be seen that her ability is not weak, it is estimated that she is a perverted woman like Zhong Ruying, since the emperor trusts her, then they naturally will not doubt her ability.
But Su Zhang is different, he doesn't know Lin Qingwan very well, but he understands Lin Qingwan's growth environment, a little girl in the boudoir with fine clothes and food, he doesn't think that Lin Qingwan will be better than the ministers in the court.
The only intersection between them was Lin Xin, who she asked him to take care of Lin Xin more, in addition to a letter of greeting and a Boxing gift every year.
But when they discussed, she was not untargeted, and several questions were asked to the point, so he could only help her with a skeptical attitude.
It was not difficult to convey the message to Wendihan, just take the fine work that had been caught before out of the prison, stuff the letter, and throw it outside Sang County.
As soon as Lin Qingwan and the others arrived, someone was going to do it.
If the Liao soldiers who caught him hadn't discovered the totem on his body and knew that he was his own brother, he might have frozen to death.
The man was dragged to the tent and rescued, and in a short time the letter was handed to Wendihan.
Wendy Han was about to sleep, but when he saw the letter, he couldn't sleep, so he took out the fine work and asked carefully, and raised his eyebrows when he heard that he was suddenly brought up.
"Su Zhang only said that you should send me a letter, and the rest will not say anything?"
He nodded, "Yes, that's all there is to it." ”
Wendihan touched his chin and asked, "How's his expression?" ”
Hosaku thought for a while and said, "It's very calm, but my subordinates can feel that he is unhappy, very unhappy." ”
"Oh?" Wen Dihan became a little interested at this time, looked at the letter in his hand and couldn't help but nod his palm, and said with a smile: "It's interesting, back then, our royal court forced them all the way across the Yangtze River, and they didn't want to make peace, and now they just started, why do they want to talk about peace?" ”
Interest flashed in his eyes, "And it's still the descendants of the Lin family, sneer, this is here to discredit Lin Ying?" ”
"Does the prince see it?"
"See! Why not? Wen Dihan's eyes flashed with a cold light, but he said with a smile on his face: "The main commander of this southern attack is Brother Wang, but they crossed Brother Wang to find me, and I also want to know what they want to do." ”
Several henchmen couldn't help but glance at each other, and a glint flashed in their eyes, during this time, the eldest prince was getting more and more excessive, and the quality of the grain and grass allocated to them was getting worse and worse, not to mention, they were even deducted, Sang County was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was relatively in the rear, and they had to break through all the Dingzhou before they could do it.
Otherwise, even if they break the city gate of Sang County, they won't be able to stand it, and fighting is no different from fighting in vain, but they are sacrificing soldiers in vain.
Therefore, they could not grab food, so they could only rely on the grain and grass allocated from above.
The eldest prince was biased, and he ordered a strong attack regardless of their life and death, and it was time to teach them some lessons.
I don't know what the girder is going to talk to them about.
Peace?
This is almost impossible, how can they return in vain with so many soldiers and horses here?
But it's not bad to tease this group of Han people for fun.
