Wu Sinan set off from Xuanfu again and headed for Zhangjiakou - good novel:. [This chapter is provided for you] He brought more than 600 guards with him, and he went there in great numbers, and he had no reason to show off to anyone. He did this

This move confused everyone in the Xuan Mansion.

Fan Yongdou, Jin Liangyu and others originally planned to go back to Zhangjiakou today. Unexpectedly, Wu Sinan also set off today. They were all worried and hurriedly gathered together to study.

"Brother Fan, why did Mr. Wu return to Zhangjiakou within a day of returning to Xuanfu? Something happened, and it couldn't be that we were found out. Our goods are still stored in the store.

It didn't get shipped out." Jin Liangyu was obviously worried.

"Why panic? Although he is the governor, he doesn't have many soldiers. Even if he does find out, what will happen? Zhangjiakou is our territory, give him face, he is the governor, we respect him as a lord, if not

Give him face, just do it to him, put the blame on the Tatars, that's it. However, we can't take this step unless we have to, let's take a look first, maybe it's not our business." Fan Yongdou

Said calmly.

"Then... find someone to ask him about his purpose of returning to the Zhang family?" Jin Liangyu said.

"Ask! Who is going to ask? If I were Wu Sinan, whoever asked me, I would give him a big slap in the face. I am the biggest here, do you have the qualifications to ask?" Fan Yongdou said coldly: "What's more, now

If he asks, he will appear guilty. If he doesn't find anything, he will probably feel that something is wrong after asking. I think it's better not to ask."

"What Brother Fan said makes sense. Can we go back to Zhangjiakou now?" Jin Liangyu said.

"Go back! Why not go back? We still have to deliver goods to the Khan."

Of course, when the governor goes out, he does not need to ask anyone for instructions. He just says hello based on his mood, and finally he just speaks to the local commander-in-chief - good novel: Wu Sinan did send someone to deliver a message to the commander-in-chief, but it was just a

A simple message, the governor is going to Zhangjiakou for an inspection, so I’ll leave it to you here.

The commander-in-chief was puzzled. He asked the visitor if he was not coming back from Zhangjiakou. Why did he still go? Wu Ping, who delivered the letter, simply replied - I don't know.

Then, Wu Ping took his leave, and there was nothing the commander-in-chief could do. His officials were not as powerful as the governor.

Wu Sinan led his men and horses all the way to Zhangjiakou. When they were five miles away from the city, Lieutenant General Tian Xiu had already received the news and came out to greet him personally. When he saw Wu Sinan, he first greeted Wu Sinan and saluted, and then said cautiously: "Didn't your Excellency just return from Zhangjiakou after an inspection tour?"

Mansion. Why didn't you even take a day's rest and just returned after a long journey? If anything happens, just tell the general and that's it. Why don't you come here to marry me?"

"Oh... I can't do it if I don't come in person..." Wu Sinan deliberately patted his head and said, "My memory is really bad. When I met Chu Xiu, I forgot all the important things. The city defense here

, I originally discovered some shortcomings. But before I could improve it, I took Chu Xiu away first. If this spread, wouldn't it become a joke. So, I found out that I rushed back from Xuan Mansion. "

"Your Excellency, you are joking... Your Excellency and Miss Chu Xiu are truly a talented and beautiful couple, a perfect match. Moreover, Your Majesty just forgot about it for a moment, and now you are rushing back. This shows that you are loyal to the country. But you don't know..."

Your Excellency...discovered some shortcomings in the city defense..." Tian Xiu first flattered him. Even though this kid has no fighting ability, his ability to flatter him is really unconventional. Finish the flattery first, and then continue.

Asking about serious matters, but when asking about serious matters again, he seemed so humble.

"Zhangjiakou originally had 15,000 troops, but now it has been reduced to 10,000. There is no time to replenish them. The imperial court does not have many troops, and the Xuanfu is relatively empty. It cannot allocate troops for the time being, and can only recruit troops locally. In the army

Before the recruitment, you only had 5,000 men to defend Zhangjiakou. You must know that when you had 15,000 men, you couldn't defend Zhangjiakou. Once the Tatars suddenly attack again, you 5,000 men will be unable to defend it.

Yes." Wu Sinan said.

"This..." Tian Xiu was speechless by Wu Sinan's words. But this is true. He couldn't hold it when he had fifteen thousand men, let alone only five thousand men now. Of course,

Tian Xiu couldn't admit that he actually only had 7,000 people at that time - other book friends were reading: "Sir... you are right... if the Tatars come again... if the troops cannot be replenished in time, maybe

It really can't be defended... But it's not necessarily that it can't be defended... You also know that at that time, the Tatars drove the people to attack the city, and the general lost the city gate because he sympathized with those people... If the Tatars do this again

, the final general will never..."

"Fart!" Before Tian Xiu could finish what he said, Wu Sinan cursed directly, "Is this the first time the Tatars used it in Zhangjiakou that day to drive the people to attack the city? Don't think that the headquarters was in Fujian at the time, so they didn't know anything.

"Please familiarize yourself with the domain name." No matter where the Tatars go to attack a city, they always drive the people to attack the city. How could you not have heard of it in Xuanfu and Gyeonggi?"

When Wu Sinan said this, Tian Xiu's face turned pale with fright, and he almost knelt down to plead guilty to Wu Sinan. Fortunately, Wu Sinan's words made him breathe again, "You have witnessed with your own eyes the people of Ming Dynasty being enslaved by the Tatars. You can't bear it."

You are still too soft-hearted to take action. You couldn't bear it last time, and you may not be able to be tough-hearted next time the Tatars use this trick. If the headquarters sees that kind of scene, I guess I won't be tough-hearted either."

"Thank you for your understanding... The general is really cruel..." Listening to the second half of Wu Sinan's words, Tian Xiu seemed to have met a close friend, and was so moved that she had tears in her eyes.

"Okay, okay...the Headquarters understands you..." Wu Sinan patted Tian Xiu's shoulder, and then said: "The Headquarters is also worried that the Tatars suddenly come to kill again. Once Zhangjiakou is lost again, the imperial court will inevitably

I'm afraid I won't be able to save my head if I'm so angry."

"Don't worry, sir. Zhangjiakou is also a Great Wall fortress. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If the Tatars come again, the general will fight to the death and will never let the Tatars cross the thunder pool. Furthermore, the Tatars will never retreat.

He will leave immediately and come back. The general can be sure that the Tatars will never attack again within half a year." Tian Xiu said while holding her breasts shyly.

"General Tian, ​​this is wrong. Your idea is absolutely unacceptable. Since we are guarding the border for the imperial court, we must be twelve times more careful at all times. God knows when the Tatars will come back. This is called

Be prepared. Don’t you know how the Datong Pass was lost? It’s because you had the same idea as you and didn’t expect the Tatars to come and neglected to take precautions, so you were caught off guard. Lost the city pass and let the Tatars

Zi Chang drove straight in. Therefore, such a fluke must not happen again in the future." Wu Sinan taught him a lesson.

"What you are trying to teach me is that in the future, you must stop taking chances, be extremely cautious, and be on guard at all times - other book friends are reading:" Tian Xiu said solemnly.

"That's right." Wu Sinan coughed deliberately, and then added: "Now it's time to talk about the city defense of Zhangjiakou. The North Gate is the main thoroughfare for entering and leaving the fortress, and there is the ancient trade between the Ming Dynasty and Meng.

The market, this place is very dangerous. Once the Tatar cavalry come and kill them, the city gates will definitely not have time to close down, and the Tatars will most likely take the opportunity to enter the city. At that time, the defenders in the city will not be able to resist. "

"Sir, don't worry about this. Zhangjiakou has reconnaissance cavalry outside. If the Tatars are discovered, they will come back and call the police immediately. The city gate will definitely be closed in time," Tian Xiu said.

"Really, let's go to the North Gate now and take a look. Come on, General Tian, ​​let's enter the city together." Wu Sinan said calmly.

"Yes, sir."

Everyone entered from the south gate and went straight to the north gate. There were many shops on the streets in Zhangjiakou City, but when they saw the arrival of the officers and soldiers, they quickly got out of the way. The group finally arrived at the north gate, and there was an endless stream of caravans entering and exiting the pass.

However, when the officers and soldiers guarding the city saw the arrival of their own officers, they hurried over to greet them. Tian Xiu told his men to ask the caravans entering and leaving the city to wait aside, and asked the governor to inspect them first.

But Wu Sinan said no, he took Tian Xiu up to the city tower, stood under the city tower, and looked from both sides. He could see the most clearly. Less than a mile outside the city was the horse market, which was even more lively. In addition, at the city gate

The river flows continuously, creating a prosperous scene.

Wu Sinan saw this and pointed to the horse market outside the city and said, "I heard that this is the horse market that did business with the ancient Meng people?"

"My lord, that's right." Tian Xiu replied quickly.

"Is this place so lively every day?" Wu Sinan asked again.

"Basically, it's almost the same." Tian Xiu didn't know what Wu Sinan meant by asking this question, so he could only answer truthfully.

"If so, the risk lies here." Wu Sinan said plausibly: "Let's assume that the Tatars suddenly come now. According to this, there are still thirty miles, and there is also a premise, that is, our reconnaissance cavalry, after discovering the Tatars,

Later, they were able to escape with their lives and came back to report the news. The scouts rode fast horses to report the news. The Tatars must also be galloping to attack Zhangjiakou. During this time, the speed is probably only three to five miles at most. At this time

, the horse market in front will definitely get the news and try their best to escape into the city. The caravans entering and leaving the city gate will also try their best to get into the city. It is not that easy to close the city gate. Look at this city gate

The front lun is in bad condition, and when the Tatars come, there will be even more lunks. Moreover, if the Tatars arrange internal response in advance at the horse market and block the city gates when they are closed, it will take a lot of time. The Tatars

It is only three to five miles behind our reconnaissance cavalry. The cavalry is so fast. This distance will not be reached in a moment. If they come directly into the city, can Zhangjiakou still be able to defend it?"

"This..." Tian Xiu was speechless again after being taught a lesson by Wu Sinan. After a while, he could only say: "This Tatar just left, so he can't come back right away..."

"Thank you!" Wu Sinan scolded: "What did the headquarters just tell you? To guard the border for the imperial court, you can't take any chances. Once the Tatars come, everything will be too late. What can we learn from the past in Datong?

Didn’t you see that?”

"Yes, yes... I will always be confused... I shouldn't take any chances... but... the current city defense is like this... it has been going on for many years... So, sir, what should I do..." Tian Xiu cautiously said

said.

"It's been going on for many years. What do you mean by this? Then the headquarters asks you, did we trade with the ancient meng a hundred years ago? Did the nv real people come to the pass to rob it?" Wu Sinan asked very unhappy.

"No, no..." This is the difference between the literate and the uneducated. Tian Xiu is a martial artist after all, and his talkativeness cannot compare to that of Wu Sinan. After being robbed, he really didn't know how to deal with it.

"The Tatars have already fought out of Zhangjiakou once. If they fight back through Zhangjiakou again, our heads will probably be moved. Now that there are shortcomings in the city defense, we must change it," Wu Sinan said carelessly.

.

"What you said is absolutely correct, but...how should I change it..." Tian Xiu asked in a low voice.

"How to change it? The headquarters has already thought about it. In this way, since it is getting late today, we will rest for the time being. Tomorrow morning, the headquarters will personally go to the military training field to gather the generals and discuss the specific plan." Wu Sinan said.

"Yes, yes..." Tian Xiu could only nod.

"So that's what it's for!"

In Fan Yongdou's house, in the living room, Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Jiabin, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, and Huang Yunfa were sitting around the dinner table, talking about Wu Sinan.

Just after they entered the city, Tian Xiu reported the reason why Wu Sinan came to Zhangjiakou to his uncle Tian Shenglan. Tian Shenglan followed him to Fan Yongdou's house and told others about the matter.

"So, Wu Sinan is concerned about the defense of Zhangjiakou..." Jin Liang said to Shen Yin: "It depends on what he means. He wants to rectify the North Gate, but the North Gate is an opening to get out of the blockade. We all have to use it.

When the North Gate goes out, what will happen if he cleans up the city?" At this point, Jin Liang raised his eyebrows and said: "He won't be using the name of cleaning up the city defense to block our exit.

, then the goods will be strictly scrutinized, and it will be bad."

"Yes. This is what I'm most worried about. What kind of yo is this guy Wu Sinan selling in the gourd?" Fan Yongdou also said with some helplessness.

"Brother Fan, I think we don't have to worry about this. As you said during the day, the troops here are still under my nephew's control, and everything is up to us. He, Wu Sinan, is a bare-bones governor, so he has the final say.

What? Even the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu has to listen to us. With the hundreds of people under his command, what kind of trouble can he stir up? Besides, he can't stay in Zhangjiakou forever. Let's wait slowly.

Many of the goods that the Great Khan wants have not yet arrived, and it will still be time to transport them away when they are all delivered." Tian Shenglan said nonchalantly.

"Brother Tian, ​​what you said makes sense. Let's wait and see what he can do and what the result will be - a good novel:" Fan Yongdou nodded and said.

Early the next morning, Wu Sinan rushed to the military training field.

The layout of Zhangjiakou is like this. The area leading from north to south belongs to the commercial area, while the east city is the barracks, where the teaching military field is located; the west city is also a military control zone, where most of the generals' homes are located, as well as prisons and so on.

At that time, Zhangjiakou was also called Zhangjiabao, but it was just a fort. How big could it be? With so many troops, they would have to occupy at least half of the area.
To be continued...
