In addition to the four turrets and three towers on the city wall, the county temple tower is the tallest building in the small new city.
After eating and drinking, Qin Liang followed Sun Li up to the platform of the county temple. The two of them looked around the city from all directions. The city only had three gates, which was indeed not symmetrical.
Sun Li suddenly asked: "Would it be too unfair to appoint Zhongming to serve as a soldier?"
Qin Liang said: "My servant has not been in office for a long time, has not made any achievements, and his rank may be high or low. He can only be a minor official. What's the problem? As long as he can do things."
After hearing this, Sun Li's tone became a little more relaxed, "It's very good that Zhongming has this state of mind. I hurriedly left Beijing at the end of last year and couldn't find a suitable official position for a while. Only my subordinate officials can remove them on their own." He said.
After a short pause, he added frankly, "It saves trouble without having to go through the official department."
When Qin Liang heard this, he smiled and made a joke: "Many people call servants 'Join the Army', but I quite like this title. It sounds nice."
"Hahaha!" Sun Li laughed heartily.
At this time, Qin Liang once again expressed his opinion that Soochow Wu would most likely send troops to attack Yangzhou.
Sun Li did not object to Qin Liang's judgment. He should think that the analysis made some sense, but he was not sure. Qin Liang, who put forward his opinion, was not sure about this kind of thing. He could only speculate on the possibilities and the factors that affected the war.
There are so many, don’t you have to guess?
The two talked a lot, and the relationship between Qin Liang and Sun Li became increasingly close.
No wonder the world always attaches great importance to whom someone has served as an official, and often regards the official as a party member. The official and the master do spend a lot of time together. After being together for a long time, it is inevitable that they will be involved in some confidential matters. Then
Easy to tie together.
After the two returned to Shouchun, Sun Li lived directly in the official office of the Governor's Department. Qin Liang did not get a house in Shouchun and could only live in the official office. Living in the same place, they often ate together, worked together, and got along day and night.
more time.
Soon, Sun Li was going to meet the real boss of Yangzhou, General Zhengdong, Wang Ling, who was in charge of Yangzhou's military affairs, so he planned to take Qin Liang with him.
The generals with the titles of "Zheng" and "Zhen" in the Great Wei State are almost all at the level of princes from all over the world. They are the highest decision-makers in the local area and hold all the military and political power. In Yangzhou, the Wei State has a total of two or three counties.
The general and the governor are not the same person, Zhen Naichi is a little bastard. However, Wang Ling's governorship area should not only include Yangzhou, but also include some strategic support areas in Huaibei.
Sun Li dressed neatly and walked to the hall of the official temple of the Governor's Department. When he saw Qin Liang, he said: "The people in the governor's place are too talkative. It is better for you to talk to me. Your idea will definitely spread. If it is the first idea, it will not be said.
Yes, if you are criticized afterwards, people in the future will have a stereotype of Zhong Ming and think that you are not good at planning, which is extremely detrimental to your reputation. Have you thought about it?"
When Qin Liang heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Sun Li. Such words would definitely not be said by anyone other than a specific person.
Qin Liang weighed it again before nodding and saying: "Thank you, Ming Gong, for reminding me."
So the two of them walked out of the hall and set off with their entourage. Qin Liang and Sun Li rode together.
Shouchun City is not on the same level as Hefei New City, and the length of the city is estimated to be more than ten miles. It not only houses the official temple of the Yangzhou Governor's Department, the General's Palace of Zhengdong, but also various institutions such as county temples. It was also the Huainan Kingdom of the Cao Wei clan and the Chu Kingdom.
The capital of Huainan County, the county seat of Huainan County. There are several official residences alone, and towering pavilions and pavilions stand in the city.
Qin Liang heard from Sun Li that after Sun Li left Cao Shuang's office, the person who took over as the director of the General Office was Linghuyu, who was Wang Ling's nephew. Linghuyu was originally called Linghu Jun, because he offended Wei
Emperor Wen was angry, so he ordered him to change this weird name. According to Qin Liang's opinion, he finally got this surname, so he might as well change his name to Chong.
Sure enough, when a few people came to Wang Ling's house, there were quite a few people present. After the introduction, in addition to the subordinate officials and generals of Zhengdong General's house, these people also included local Zhongzheng officials and celebrities. Zhongzheng officials should belong to the governor's administration, but they
Walking around Wang Ling's house.
When Qin Liang was in his hometown, he had already reviewed the Zhongzheng officials of Pingyuan County and Jizhou, but he knew that no matter how many of them there were, they always liked to criticize everyone they met.
Not long after, Wang Ling and a middle-aged man walked into the room. Just by looking at the way Wang Ling walked and the expressions and postures of everyone in the hall, Wang Ling's identity could be determined immediately.
Qin Liang often heard about Wang Ling when he was in Luoyang, and even met his daughter Wang Xuanji in person. Today was the first time he saw Wang Ling in person.
Unexpectedly, Wang Ling is very old. He looks to be at least sixty or seventy years old. The average life span of people at this time is not long. It is not common for such an old person to still be an official. And he has a daughter who is only in her teens.
, Qin Liang really didn't expect him to be so old beforehand. Fortunately, Wang Ling has a strong figure and a strong body, so he should be able to work for many years.
The forty-year-old man next to him is probably one of Wang Ling's sons, because his face is somewhat similar. But what is a bit strange is that Wang Ling has very little beard, only on his lips; the middle-aged man who is suspected to be his son is actually
He has a big beard and a beard (beard on his cheeks), but it is not as long as the legendary beautiful beard.
Everyone came forward to worship him, many of them with flattering expressions.
Wang Ling introduced his son Wang Guang and greeted everyone. He was the middle-aged man he had just been with.
Wang Guang was still in Luoyang at least last year, because when Qin Liang first arrived in Luoyang, he heard his complaint at Cao Shuang's mansion. Now it is not known when Wang Guang came to Huainan. However, Wang Ling has four sons and brothers, so
There is no shortage of hostages.
When Sun Li introduced Qin Liang to Wang Ling, Wang Ling said "oh". He probably had never heard of Qin Liang, and he probably forgot Qin Liang's name by turning around. After all, he was old.
Soon Qin Liang was able to deepen Wang Ling's impression. Qin Liang went straight to the point. He quickly took out two slips and handed them over, saying: "I ask Ming Gong to make preparations in advance to prevent Wu's attack."
Wang Ling's dull eyes suddenly lit up and he glared: "Wu Jun is coming? How could I not know?"
Qin Liang hurriedly explained: "I speculate that the Wu army will come, but they haven't come yet. I think that the most likely time is after the summer and autumn of this year, which is still half a year away. It is enough time to prepare in advance and inform colleagues in Jingzhou, Yuzhou and other places."
.”
Sure enough, many people didn't remember Qin Liang's name just now. At this time, there was a murmur around him. Someone asked Qin Liang again what official he was, and someone whispered: "The military officer of the Yangzhou Governor's Department is engaged in history."
Qin Liang was not surprised by such a scene.
Wang Ling looked at Qin Liang for a while, then turned to look at Sun Li. Sun Li nodded lightly.
When Wang Ling saw this, he took the slip, turned around, walked behind the tables and sat down, put the slip on the desk and unfolded it to read. Wang Ling flipped through it briefly and asked: "So, Qin Canjun
Is it a guess?"
"It can be said that." Qin Liang stood in the same place and said, "But it is not just a guess. I have a lot of evidence. If you want more direct evidence, it is best to send someone to Soochow to inquire on the spot. If Soochow mobilizes an army, there will be obvious signs.
.”
Wang Ling said "Oh" and seemed to have returned to the "standby" state again, feeling much more relaxed from head to toe.
When Qin Liang saw this, he suddenly felt that Wang Ling was harder to convince than Sun Li. He had no choice but to get along with Sun Li day and night, but he was not familiar with Wang Ling.
