"Sir, Wu Sinan has arrived at Xuanfu. This morning, he went to Zhangjiakou for inspection."

In the evening, Cao Yu hurried to Yue Su's house and reported the news to Yue Su.

"It must have been two days since Wu Sinan arrived in Xuanfu. What have you done in the past two days?" Yue Su asked calmly.

"On the day we first arrived, all the civil and military officials of the Xuan Mansion, as well as wealthy businessmen and gentry went to greet them, and held a banquet in the Xuan Ya Pavilion, the largest restaurant in the Xuan Mansion. They drank until late at night before leaving. The next day, from early in the morning, Xuan Mansion

The officials, merchants and gentry of the government came to Wu Sinan one after another and sent a large number of gifts to Wu Sinan. There were countless people who gave gifts. Wu Sinan accepted them all and left them all in the governor's Yamen." Cao Yu said.

After hearing this, Yue Su just nodded slightly, picked up the tea cup on the coffee table, put it to his mouth and took a sip. After thinking for a while, he said: "Did you find any useful information in Xuanfu and Zhangjiakou?

"

"I haven't found any very useful information recently, but there is some movement in the Wangji Cargo Store that you asked me to pay close attention to. In the past few days, a large number of trucks have been transported from outside the city and sent to Wangji Cargo Store.

What kind of goods were transported has not yet been found out, but it can be seen from the rut marks that the goods were very heavy. Moreover, at that time, Wang Ji Cargo Co., Ltd. transported a large amount of goods, and there was also a cargo company named Jin Ji. These days

A large number of goods were also transported, and these goods were also quite heavy. I wonder if it was a coincidence." Cao Yu said.

"They are all doing trade outside the Great Wall. It seems that these goods are all going to be shipped out of Zhangjiakou. I am very curious about what these goods are. Can you try to check and find out what they are?" Yue

Su said.

"I obey," Cao Yu responded.

"Is there anything else?"

"Return to my lord, there is no more."

"You've been running around all day, so go down and rest first."

"Thank you, sir."

Cao Yu retreated in response. As soon as he left Yue Su's study, the concierge from outside ran over and reported outside the study: "Your Excellency, there is someone outside the mansion who claims to be a messenger sent by the Governor of Xuanfu. He has an urgent letter to deliver."

Let me take a look at it."

"Let people come in." Yue Su said.

"Yes, sir." The concierge quickly withdrew, and soon he brought a young man outside the study. With a call, Yue Su asked someone to come in and talk.

The person who came was none other than Wu Tong, Wu Sinan's scholar. Wu Tong entered the study and knelt down to greet him. "Young Wu Tong is the scholar in Mr. Wu's house. I am going to see you and pay my respects to you on behalf of my master."

"Get up. The porter said, you were ordered to deliver a letter to me. Where is the letter?" Yue Su said.

"Here is the letter." Wu Tong stood up, took out a letter from his arms, and presented it to his chest.

Next to Yue Su, Jiang Jie sat on the lower left hand, and Jin Chan stood on the right. When Yue Su said "Send it up," Jin Chan stepped forward, took the letter from Wu Tong's hand, and handed it over to

In front of Yue Su.

Yue Su took the letter and looked at it briefly. It was sealed with wax and showed signs of being opened. He tore the envelope open, took out the letter paper inside, and unfolded it to look at it.

In the letter, Wu Sinan first sent greetings to Yue Su, and then said that he had come to the Xuan Mansion to take office. In the past two days, local officials and merchants were hosting a banquet on the first day. He couldn't take off his clothes, so he went.

On the second day, local officials and businessmen rushed to send gifts, but Xianguan did not dare to accept them. The list of gifts is as follows. Your Excellency, please take a look. When you ask Xianguan to hand over the things, you only need to give an order and they will be delivered immediately. Don't worry, Your Excellency.

, When I take office in the Xuanfu, I will definitely fulfill my duties and live up to your expectations.

After reading the contents of the letter, Yue Su smiled slightly, put the letter back, and said: "Wu Tong, go back and tell your adults, just tell them that I have read the letter and I am very satisfied with his performance.

Since he said he will live up to my expectations, I will wait and see here."

"Yes, sir. The little one must tell my adults exactly what he said." Wu Tong said carefully.

"You're tired after a day of running around. Jin Chan, take him down to rest and ask someone to greet him." Yue Su ordered.

"Yes, sir." Jin Chan accepted the order and took Wu Tong out. They had a meal first and then went to the side room to rest.

After the two of them left, at this moment, only Yue Su and Jiang Jie were left in the study. Jiang Jie looked at Yue Su and said with a smile: "Sir, it seems that you value Wu Sinan very much?"

"Why do you see this, sir?" Yue Su also said with a smile.

"If we look at the normal situation, whether it is Wangji Cargo Co., Ltd. or Jinji Cargo Co., Ltd., the batch of goods they transported must be intended to be shipped out of Zhangjiakou and sold to the Tatars. Cao Yu has just

Having said that, these two batches of goods are large in quantity and relatively heavy. They are most likely strategic materials. It is okay to sell ordinary goods at the border. At that time, reselling strategic materials was a crime of collaborating with the enemy. If you follow the clues, you will definitely

It was a great harvest. But your Excellency knew this, but you didn’t do it yourself. Instead, you watched from the sidelines and accomplished Wu Sinan’s achievements. It can be seen that your Excellency admires Wu Sinan quite a lot. Also, although your Excellency got some information, he did not know anything about it.

Without leaking it to Wu Sinan, this is obviously a test for Wu Sinan. I want to see what Wu Sinan's ability is and whether he can grasp the context." Jiang Jie analyzed quietly.

"Sir, you are really a roundworm in Yue's belly. No matter what Su's plan is, you can't hide it from him. So, Mr. Yi, do you think Wu Sinan can do it?" Yue Su said with a smile.

"Your Majesty's vision is of course not wrong. This Wu Sinan will definitely not disappoint your expectations." Jiang Jie also laughed.

"Since I said I will live up to my expectations, I will wait and see here."

These were Yue Su's exact words. Wu Tong rushed to Zhangjiakou and conveyed to Wu Sinan word for word what he saw Yue Su and Yue Su's instructions.

Wu Sinan arrived in Zhangjiakou yesterday afternoon. As soon as he arrived, he inspected the city defense and found nothing wrong. Wu Sinan had two long followers, both of whom had certain skills. They were always in charge of his personal guards. The names of these two boys

Named Wu Ping and Wu An, they accompanied Jin Chan and the others to recapture the batch of firearms in Fujian. After seeing the city defense, he also asked Wu Ping and Wu An for their opinions, but they only knew kung fu.

I don't know anything about it, and I can't explain why.

This morning, Wu Sinan asked Tian Xiu to lead him to inspect Zhangjiakou's armaments. Zhangjiakou still had five thousand soldiers and horses. As a frontier army, they were not useless. The five thousand men and horses were mixed, good and bad. After an inspection, in Wu Ping's words, this

This army is already quite good. Compared with our former Fujian army, it is much stronger. It is even much stronger than your bodyguard.

The city's defense and military preparations seem to be quite good. So what on earth did Mr. Yue ask me to come here for? It's not to punish corrupt officials. For such things, even if he just coughs, all the corrupt officials here will probably be punished.

I was so scared that I asked myself to serve. Do I still need to come?

After thinking about it all afternoon, Wu Sinan couldn't come up with a reason. In the evening, Wu Tong hurried back and conveyed Yue Su's instructions. After hearing this, Wu Sinan was convinced that Yue Su must have a deep meaning in asking him to come.

.He sent all his men out, leaned on the chair alone, and began to think hard.

"What on earth is going on? Lord Yue, Lord Yue, you clearly know that I don't like to use my brain, but you still don't tell me the answer to the riddle and let me guess it myself. This is too unkind. You are turning around in Zhangjiakou

After walking around for a while, I can see the problem. How can I have your eyesight? There is no problem with the city defense. It can be said to be impregnable. The soldiers are also quite capable. They are many times stronger than our soldiers in Fujian. What else is there?

What’s the problem…”

Just when he thought of this, Wu Sinan's eyes suddenly lit up and he stood up suddenly, "That's not right..."

Immediately afterwards, he Nannan muttered to himself: "There is no problem with the city defense, there is no problem with the armament, and the troops and horses are excellent, so how can the Tatars conquer it with one attack..."

"By the way, Tian Xiu said that the Tatars were driving the people to attack the city. He couldn't bear to do it and deliberately let the people into the city, but the Tatars took the opportunity to rush up." Thinking of this, Wu Sinan scratched his head again, "No, no...

What he said seems to be correct..."

The last thing Wu Sinan wants to do is to use his brain. Although this guy is extremely smart, laziness is his biggest enemy.

"Wu Ping, Wu An... call Wu Ping, Wu An over here..." Wu Sinan shouted loudly in the study.

After a while, two boys ran in in a hurry, "Sir, you are calling us in such a hurry, what are your orders?"

"Sir, I have a question to ask you now. Please think it through for me before you answer it." Wu Sinan said carelessly.

"Yes, I must think it over carefully before answering." Wu Ping and Wu Anrang's words made Monk Zhang Er confused. However, the adults have always been confused, and they knew it, so they could only respond cautiously. They understood in their hearts.

, Your Excellency must be in trouble.

"If you have such a question, let's just say that we are in Zhangjiakou now. You have also seen the city defense here. To describe it in one sentence, it can be said that one man can guard the gate and no one can open it. You have also seen the soldiers and horses here. You have also seen it.

Tell me, sir, that I am much stronger than our soldiers in Fujian. With such a city defense and 15,000 men and horses to resist the Tatars, even if I, a man like me, who don’t know how to fight, come to defend the city, I guess I can hold it for a few days.

But why were they afraid that the family would be taken over when the Tatars came? Also, Tian Xiu, the guard of Zhangjiakou, said that it was because the Tatars drove the people to attack the city, and he could not bear to hurt his own people, so he allowed the people to enter the city.

As a result, the Tatars took advantage of it. Later, Mr. Yue came here to inspect and immediately discovered a problem. Please help me think about it. What problem did he find? What is wrong with Zhangjiakou?

?" Wu Sinan kicked the ball directly to two of his men.

"This..." Wu Ping and Wu An, look at me and I look at you. For them, this problem seems a bit too difficult. This should be something you consider.

The two boys are also smart, and they are definitely better than Wu Sinan in fighting. After thinking for a long time, Wu Ping finally said: "Sir, the younger one suddenly remembered something, but I don't know how to connect it with what you said.

, if you feel something is wrong, just act like a kid and don’t say anything.”

"Don't show off in front of me. When you think of this, say it quickly." Wu Sinan looked at his confidants without any of the solemnity he had when he was outside.

"My lord, do you remember that we met the group of rebels who were escorting the firearms?" Wu Ping said carefully.

"Nonsense, how can I not remember this? Those bastards, forget it if you don't go up to fight them. They ran faster than me and almost killed me. What's wrong? Is it related to this?" Wu Sinan

said.

"Normally speaking, if the Tatar soldiers rush to the city, there will be chaos on the city. The soldiers will not escape slower than the officials. Even if they are elites, it depends on the situation. If the general does not escape, the soldiers will never escape.

Escape. Take the city defense of Zhangjiakou to analyze it. The Tatars drove the people to attack the city. The first people to climb the city were naturally the people. Once the people went up, they would break up the defenses there, and the defenders would follow in chaos. The Tatars behind them would follow.

, there will definitely be more chaos in the city. During today's military parade, I can see that the officers and soldiers here are still of some quality, but they are also mixed. This depends on the performance of the general. If the general insists on holding on, the soldiers will not escape.

If the general escapes first, the soldiers will definitely follow suit..."

As soon as Wu Ping said this, he heard Wu Sinan say: "Nonsense, it's up to you to talk about this matter. I also know this truth."

"Master, please listen to the younger one and continue talking."

"Okay, okay, go on and let me hear what else you have to say."

"The Tatars are famous for their toughness and toughness. Otherwise, they would not be able to mess up the Central Plains. Their combat effectiveness must be higher than that of the officers and soldiers guarding the city. They took advantage of the chaos to board the city. At this time, if the general leads his troops to defend, there is likely to be only one outcome.
