Chapter 41 Discussing to fool the court
"drive!"
The speeding horse team quickly crossed the street and soon arrived at the stronghold of the Imperial City Department.
"law!"
"Marty, here,"
Yongbian, who was running in front, grabbed the horse and shouted at the back of the team.
"I understand, everyone dismounted and went in."
Zhang Jinyu was not polite, and took people in directly dismounted, but the guards on duty at the Imperial City Office at the door wanted to come out to stop him, and were immediately slapped by the hundreds of households around him.
"Idiot, even the Marquis dares to stop him. Marquis, forgive me, the new one, I am ignorant."
Zhang Jinyu glanced at the Baihu, which scared Baihu and his subordinates to kneel down directly.
"Get up."
He floated out and took people to the backyard.
The hundreds of households on duty were not allowed to see Zhang Jinyu before they dared to stand up.
The little flag next to him asked in a low voice in fear;
"Sir, this is Mr. Luo Yun, so young?"
"Yes, if it weren't for me just now, I wouldn't know why you died. What a young man, that's a tiger that eats people."
"Thank you for your life-saving kindness. I want to invite you to drink some wine to suppress your shock."
Only then did the Baihu look a little better,
"Well, yes, you should pay attention to who you are in the future."
"Yes, yes, sir, the younger ones will never make any more."
"Okay, keep looking at the door."
Zhang Jinyu took the people and walked directly into the living room with unrecognizable relatives. He saw Shen Baichuan sitting carelessly in the main seat, drinking tea and watching it, leisurely.
Zhang Jinyu also made a joke;
"See Lord Shen Tongzhi."
Shen Baichuan didn't know if he was too fascinated or was thinking about something, but he didn't notice it for a while. When he heard someone talking, he found that someone had entered the room. After a closer look, he found that this was not Mr. Luo Yun or who was it.
"Oh, my marquis, you are so cold that I, Lao Shen. Come in and sit down."
Shen Baichuan got up and held Luo Yunhou's hand in both hands and held it in the main position, while Zhang Jinyu also pushed it;
"Old brother, I'm not there, how can I sit in your seat?"
"I also said that I'm not right. My seat is my own. My seat is yours. Come on, come on, come on, have some tea, I haven't seen anyone come."
"Okay, then I'm not polite,"
Zhang Jinyu sat directly on the main seat with a golden sword. As soon as he sat down, a maid came to serve tea.
Seeing that someone else was sitting in the main seat, the maid didn't dare to take a look, put down the tea and left.
Zhang Jinyu saw that all the maids were there in tea. This old guy is OK.
"Brother, you can, this maid has been replaced."
Shen Baichuan didn't care,
"Mr. Marquis, Brother Yu has just a little bit of love. If you like it, you can take it away at any time."
"It's going to be apart. I still have two more. I can't do this."
The two of them were having fun, drinking tea, and chatting about the feeling of taking office of the new official, which was still very good.
Shen Baichuan asked when he saw that it was almost done;
"Mr. Marquis, what's going on? Tell me, Brother Yu has any service, I will not refuse."
Zhang Jinyu knew that Shen Baichuan understood his hints, and he was indeed a human being, so he should not be underestimated.
"There is really something, please think about it, Brother Shen."
"Mr. Marquis, please tell me, I'll listen."
Zhang Jinyu also took a sip of tea slowly and leaned closer and said;
"Brother Chen, it's been a few days. How do you write this battle report?"
Chen Baichuan was relieved to know that this was the case. He was still in trouble these days. The Marquis did not have instructions. He didn't dare to take the initiative to write the battle report. Fortunately, the Marquis mentioned it first.
"My Marquis, I'm also worried about this. What's going on outside? I just knew that Huang Jitai had retired, so I don't know about the rest."
"Well, this Jurchen person couldn't stand the damage to the war and retreated overnight. We also picked up the ready-made ones, so we two brothers are going to make up for this battle report."
Chen Baichuan looked at the marquis who was talking in a panic without changing his expression in front of him, and thought to himself, it’s amazing.
There may be some hidden information, but the 150,000 war horses on the surface cannot escape their spies, as well as the cavalry of the Jurchen tribe, which is very powerful.
"Then I wrote it from October 24th and posted it once on the 23rd. Today is the 28th. The four days are almost done."
"Well, yes, then there is Pingyao City, how do you calculate it?"
"This is easy to do. Didn't the Marquis send a partial army? When the Jurchen retreated, he took the opportunity to give it to the Jurchens. The Jurchens did not want to fight and occupied Pingyao City again."
Zhang Jinyu was so amazed after hearing this. Dawu really produced talents and the battle was not very good. The battle report was definitely quite accurate.
"Brother Chen is troubled. What should I do if I do in Pingyang County? How to write it?"
Chen Baichuan thought for a moment and said;
"Then I want to see what the marquis wants to show the court, or what the marquis thinks of."
Zhang Jinyu knew what Chen Baichuan meant, whether to show weakness or strength, this.
"What are some good suggestions for Brother Chen? You might as well say bluntly that I haven't thought about it yet."
After hearing what Mr. Zhang said, Chen Baichuan turned around and looked around.
After Zhang Jinyu signaled Ningbian to go out, Chen Baichuan whispered after seeing no one;
"Mr. Marquis, Brother Yu is also saying a few words of his heart. Don't be surprised."
"Brother Chen, please tell me, I know what I know."
"Okay, brother, your operation is shocking, but when we reach our level, we cannot retreat. Besides, there is no way out. Now is the time, so we still have to show weakness, but we cannot let the court take control. So, does the Marquis understand this?"
Zhang Jinyu understood it. It’s hard to grasp the level now, so it can’t be too strong or too weak.
"What Brother Chen said should not be too strong or too weak, so that the court would be scruples but not afraid."
"Hey, yes, that's what it means. The Marquis asked more, how many people are there in Pingyang now?"
"170,000 are more than a few, mainly now there are 20,000 new troops."
"Hiss, where did the Marquis come from so many people? Didn't it mean that so many people were killed in battle before?"
"The reinforcements from Pingyun City and so many refugees in the city, I directly recruited them to do logistics and stayed there. You know that all refugees who could come to Pingyang County City alive are young and strong."
"That's right. I've died on the road because I'm not in good health. The marquis has over 20,000 people in the other two cities. If this court knows, it's not going to be a big deal."
Zhang Jinyu also thought about it. Although the imperial court gave a lot of soldiers, it was not the actual amount. He had committed a big taboo, but it was impossible to disband his soldiers. I, the emperor, could not do it. This is what I, Zhang Jinyu, said.
"What are your tricks brother Shi? Give me some advice."
Chen Baichuan was also in trouble after hearing this, because he was afraid that the court would send people to conduct on-site inspections, so it would be troublesome to click the roster.
"Mr. Marquis, there is no advice. If you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of one. It will be troublesome for the imperial court to send people to check the list. Although it may not be necessary, it is easy to operate here, but the number of people in the camp cannot be concealed. Therefore, the fixed number of people in the camp must be kept."
"You mean to divide the troops?"
"The Marquis is smart, you can see clearly at a glance. Don't go anywhere in the 20,000 new recruits. Just train in the camp. If others see it, you will know that it is a new army. You don't have to worry about the number of new soldiers. There is no need to worry about the number of people in the camp. Don't have to exceed 100,000, and it's best to have more than 90,000. The court wants to see the results."
Chen Baichuan directly analyzed the court thoroughly, so that Zhang Jinyu also understood that there are many great martial artists and should not underestimate anyone, and have expertise in their professions.
"Brother Chen's words made me suddenly enlightened! Listen to Brother Chen, I am going to disperse my troops and increase the number of troops garrisons in Pingyun and Pingyao City, so there will be fewer people."
When Chen Baichuan heard Pingyun City, he suddenly thought,
"Marty, are there any defenders in Pingyun City?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"I forgot to tell the Marquis that the Zuoxian King of Donghu has been expanding eastward. The Yuezhi people and the Donghu people in the northern Ulan Grassland bordered each other. After fighting several times, they did not gain any advantage. So the Donghu was slowly moving southeastward, approaching the Tianbai Mountains and reaching Pingyun City. Marquis must not be careless!"
It was the first time that Zhang Jinyu talked about the expansion of the Donghu people. He also secretly paid attention to it. It seemed that the number of troops stationed in his garrison was going to increase. It was annoying. There were too many enemies in this Dawu, so it was hard to defend against it. If only there was a way.
"I understand, thank you Brother Chen for your reminder."
"My Marquis, our brothers are talking about this. After this matter is finished, I will write a war report and send it to the capital. The court may be eager to see it. As for the number of Jurchens?"
"Haha! That's not, Dawu needs a great victory to cheer up! As for the number of people in Huang Jitai, I will write about 300,000 people, and exaggerate it."
The two looked at each other and wrote six big words "The Great Victory of Pingyang County City" on the battle report.
