"Lao Ma, you are really lucky." Lin Tailai asked Deputy Commander Ma Gui to sit down and started to greet him.
Ma Gui, who is over fifty years old, is puzzled. On the surface, Supervisor Lin's words are easy to understand, but what does it mean deep down?
Some civil servants like to be riddlers and like to talk surrounded by clouds and mountains. Is it true that Supervisor Lin is the same?
There are many explanations for "good luck". For example, you were dismissed from office last year, and the Kuaibai Rebellion occurred this year, which resulted in you being re-appointed by the court. So you say you are lucky?
It's not easy to answer this question. If you say it wrong and it appears that you are happy about Kuai Bai's rebellion, then your whole life will be ruined.
Just as Ma Gui repeatedly wondered whether this was a language trap, Supervisor Lin said again:
"Stop thinking nonsense! What I mean is, if you were not impeached last year, then you would still be the commander-in-chief of Ningxia Town.
If you were still the commander-in-chief of Ningxia Town, then when Kuai Bai suddenly launched a rebellion this year, you would be the one who was killed or committed suicide!
So I say you are lucky. You have served as the commander-in-chief of Ningxia for more than ten years, but you were dismissed from office last year, so you just avoided being killed this year.
Otherwise, I would set up an altar outside the city to honor you as a loyal martyr, and I would also help you think of a posthumous name! When the city is destroyed and your bones are found, I will probably have to write the epitaph."
Ma Gui: "."
Is Supervisor Lin kidding himself? It's just that the joke is a bit cold.
After chatting with the young supervisor for a long time, eating a meal and drinking a few glasses of wine, he felt a little more familiar. Ma Gui then requested: "Now that the soldiers and horses are gathered together and there is enough food and grass, we can consider attacking the city."
Supervisor Lin replied: "There are still reinforcements that have not arrived yet, so just wait."
Ma Gui continued to request: "Now the number of officers and soldiers besieging the city is nearly 40,000, we can give it a try!"
Supervisor Lin stared at Ma Gui for a while, then suddenly said: "Among all the general officers, only Li Rusong has not arrived yet.
Do you want to capture Ningxia City before Li Rusong arrives?"
Ma Guideng immediately leaned back tactically and denied, "I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
Really, were my thoughts so obvious? It was actually easily seen by a young man.
