Wang Zhu rode his horse through Lishan Gate in Jinan and got off the horse in front of the House. When he walked into the lobby, he saw Wang Zhen sitting there talking to someone, looking haggard.

There were many people in the hall, in addition to several important officials in the House of Representatives, as well as Xiao Chaihe, Wu Pei, Fu Qingzhu and others. Everyone turned to look at Wang Zhu, and in an instant they looked disappointed again.

"how's it going?"

Wang Zhu shook her head and said, "I didn't stop it."

"How could it not be stopped? What are the defenders of Dongchang doing? Can a woman take the Duke away with him?!" Qian Chengyun asked loudly, with anger on his face.

Wang Zhu was still calm and said, "There were more than 8,000 defenders in Dongchang Prefecture. After the Dezhou troops headed north, they drew troops from various prefectures and prefectures and transferred 4,000 defenders in Dongchang. After the flood situation this year, two thousand defenders were transferred to rescue disasters. My younger brother later replaced two thousand of them with a new army. In addition, the second thing to collect grain, all regions had to dispatch troops to guard the granary... There were only more than 1,000 soldiers who could be used, but there were hundreds of miles to block the search area, which could not be stopped."

Zuo Jinglun sighed and said, "I have advised the Duke of China to not send troops north, nor to send troops north! Now it is not just Dongchang Prefecture, but there are not many troops left in the entire Shandong. If Jinan had not had enough troops, how could a woman rob the Duke of China?"

Seeing that Wang Xiao was really lost, Song Xin was also anxious and turned to Xiao Chaihe and shouted: "What did you Jinyiwei do? Why didn't you catch any of them after doing it for so long?!"

Xiao Chaihe looked bitter and bowed: "There are too many things happening now, and the Jinyiwei is not enough staff. This time the Duke went north and transferred half of the Jinyiwei generals to Dezhou..."

“Is this a reason?”

Wu Pei had no choice but to stand up and speak for Xiao Chaihe.

"Originally, refugees from all over the north are coming, and there are many people who have fled due to severe disasters this year. The Jinyiwei has difficulty in screening every screening. The main method to prevent detailed work is the household registration system and arrange refugees to work. If it is in Jinan City, it will be difficult for Mrs. Zhang to move, but the commander of the city firewood can do nothing. In addition, the Jinan defenders should have martial law from the section from Jinan to Qihe. However, they were also transferred by the Duke of the State. I wanted to wait until the new army is trained before making arrangements..."

"It's not just Qihe, but Chiping County's troops are also empty..."

Having said this, the hall fell silent.

Everyone suddenly discovered that when Duke Guo was there, the situation seemed to be very good. But now Duke Guo was robbed, and the entire problem in Shandong was immediately exposed...

Insufficient troops, and serious shortages.

In addition to the garrison troops of various prefectures and counties, the total number of troops drawn by Shandong soldiers was less than 100,000. Qin Shanhai took away 50,000 people to the north, and more than 30,000 people in Dezhou, including the 20,000 people that Wang Xiao wanted to take away. The remaining less than 20,000 people were not enough to deal with the accident in a province.

If the war in the north goes smoothly, this hidden danger of empty troops can be covered by good news. But once the Jiannu is defeated in the north, or if there is no need to wait for the Jiannu to come, as long as there is a little chaos in Shandong, it will be impossible to suppress it.

The foundation is still too weak, and there is not enough time to calm the people and train the army.

But what should I do? Shandong has no danger to defend. If it does not support Northern Zhili, if the Rui army is defeated, these soldiers will be unable to fight against Jiannu alone.

Song Xin sighed, realizing that the reason why he had not worried about these things before was simply because he hoped that Wang Xiao could create another miracle.

Now, Wang Xiao is gone...

Zuo Jinglun was extremely calm in the past, but now he finally showed the old man's thoughts.

"I have advised Duke Guo to not send so many soldiers north, and not to send so many soldiers north..."

Wang Zhu couldn't listen to this nagging, and didn't care that the other party was Zuo Jinglun, and said straight: "What's the use of firing the hindshot now? If you don't transfer your troops north, can you sit and wait for death?"

Qian Chengyun glanced at the glance and saw Zuo Jinglun’s face was not good, and he changed the topic: “Even if there is insufficient garrison in various places, what’s going on with the personal guard camp? So many people can make a woman robbed people. If there is no serious punishment, how can the military discipline be corrected?”

Wang Zhen finally raised his hand and sighed, "This matter should not be made public. You must not spread the news. You will say to the outside world that the Duke led his troops north. Mr. Fu, the Agricultural Department will ask you, I will go to Yanjing... I will talk about it when I find the Duke."

I can’t figure out anything I can discuss any more. Everyone in the hall knew what to do, and there was nothing to discuss.

Wang Zhen and Wang Zhu left the House side by side.

Although he lost Wang Xiao, the two brothers were still calm.

"Why let me go to Yanjing?" Wang Zhu said.

"I'll go." Wang Zhen sighed and said, "I have sent a letter to ask Tang Qianqian to send someone to intercept Mrs. Zhang. I will inevitably have to deal with various forces. I am still better than you in this regard."

"Brother is not here, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress the ministers in Jinan."

"It's okay, your highness is here." Wang Zhen said: "I mean Princess Chunning is here. In terms of talent, she is far above you and me."

The two brothers got on the carriage. Wang Zhen pondered for a long time, suddenly sighed and said with emotion: "I was thinking that we said we wanted to help our third brother become a king and domineering career. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Wei Ju, Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu, how many heroes were ruined to have a great master, and how many heroes were destroyed to have a great master in Han Dynasty, and at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Sun Anzu, Zhang Jincheng, Gao Shida, Dou Jiande, Yang Xuangan, Wang Shichong, Li Gui, Xiao Xian, Liang Shidu, and many heroes were defeated, and the prosperity of Li Tang Dynasty... Alas, now we understand what it means to be 'The river flows eastward, the waves wash away, and the eternal heroes'."

"Why should my elder brother be so discouraged? The third brother was just caught and saved again."

"It's just because I feel it." Wang Zhen stroked his forehead.

He was afraid that Mrs. Zhang would have killed Wang Xiao.

If so, he felt extremely confused about where to go in the future.

When he returned to the Wang family, Tao Wenjun hurriedly came up and whispered to Wang Zhen: "You really want to go?"

"It's impossible not to go."

"Be careful in everything." Tao Wenjun's eyes were a little worried, but he didn't stop him. He said, "I went to see Chunning this morning. She hasn't slept all night. She said you don't have to worry about the things in Shandong. She will do her best to take care of it, and beg you to do your best to bring Brother Xiao back..."

"I understand, where is Wang Yan?"

"I have been scolded by my second uncle for a whole morning. My father ran over to persuade me. Why did you think this would happen? Alas."

Wang Zhen nodded and said, "You can help me pack my luggage. I'll say goodbye to my father. Send someone to ask Deng Jingrong to wait for me at the city gate."

"good……"

In the yard, Wang Yan was kneeling on the ground with a dejected look.

After Wang Xu scolded Wang Xu several times, he was stopped by Wang Kang, and he still cursed him as a "criminal" in his mouth.

Seeing Wang Zhen and Wang Zhu come in, Wang Xu stood up and said ashamed: "It's all the second uncle who is incompetent in teaching his children. This evil man has led to a close call by his side..."

Wang Zhen said: "Second uncle doesn't have to blame Brother Zi. Sister Zhang has long revealed her behavior. It is an accident that she can rob her third brother this time and has nothing to do with Brother Zi."

"This evil." Wang Liu kicked Wang Liu with a grudge.

Wang Zhen pulled Wang Yan.

"Get up, you should learn a lesson, don't always think about happiness in the future."

"oh……"

Wang Zhen said to Wang Kang again: "Dad, my son is going out. I will tell my father that in front of outsiders, you must not show any kindness in the face of others, so as not to make people's hearts fluctuate."

Wang Kang looked up at his eldest son, wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it. Finally, he sighed: "The third brother is a lord who can't rest. When other officials go out, no one is sitting there quietly. He just wants to run around."

Wang Zhu disagreed with this.

Wang Kang thought that his third son was captured and his eldest son was going to go to a place of fierce war. The more he thought about it, the more he hated him. When he turned around and saw Wang Zhu's expression, he couldn't help but say, "Aren't you capable? Jiannu can send someone to kidnap the third son, and you can also send someone to assassinate them. There are only a few barbarians outside the pass, and they just happened to kill them and recover the capital soon."

Your father still has many industries from the capital waiting to go back to collect them.

Wang Zhu said: "Who do dad want to assassinate?"

Wang Kang said for granted: "Of course it's Dorgon."

"Oh."

"You can still laugh."

"We have only been in Shandong for half a year and have a foundation. In this case, Jiannu sent two groups of elite dead soldiers, totaling 327, each with excellent martial arts. When the late emperor entered the city, they captured the North Gate and assassinated Yushan. In the end, all of them were killed except for Zhang's wife. The merits of raising these more than 300 dead soldiers can raise two thousand soldiers. Can Jiannu afford to support them, can we afford to support them? Not to mention that Dorgon's guards are more thorough than his third brother, even if Dorgon was lucky enough to assassinate Dorgon, his brothers also Duoduo, Daishan, Abai, and Abatai..."

Wang Kang knew that Dorgon and Haoge were slightly stunned when they heard the difficult names, and said angrily: "The undescending son is accustomed to talking nonsense. Those who are just nameless, you, the undescending son, cannot protect your younger brother, you will only talk back!"

"Dad, you can't name it yourself."

"What do I call them? So what if all the barbarians are assassinated?"

"The old slave has five brothers and sixteen sons. They all grew up on the battlefield and have more than ten sons. Like Daishan, who is a man of more than twenty adult grandchildren. In the eyes of my father, he is just a few people? By the way, Huang Taiji has eleven sons, and now there are six left. My father only needs to send 1,800 dead soldiers to Shenyang, which is absolute Huang Taiji's lineage."

Wang Kang was just casually speaking, but was confronted by Wang Zhu like this, and his face was lost. He cursed: "Rebel, is this what I said? It was said by Lord Zuo. Don't send troops north, don't send troops north, don't take Jiannu too seriously. The third brother must not listen, and he will go north by himself. Now, right? He has been kidnapped!"

Wang Zhu was in a bad mood, and heard this and said, "Today, I still think there are only a few barbarians outside the pass? It's ridiculous. People call themselves emperor and founded the country for decades, with a strong foundation. However, there are always people who want to spend a year of innovation and resist the enemy from outside. Daddy rarely listens to nonsense. It is such an old stubborn person who only has the vanity of the heavenly kingdom. He refuses to face the enemy's strength until his death. The situation collapses so far. Haha, Yelang is arrogant."

"you……"

"Stop quarrel." Wang Zhen waved his hand, felt a little headache, and sighed: "Dad, don't worry, I'll save my third brother."

"Is it because I'm anxious? This rebellious man knows to talk back all day long! I just mentioned..."

Wang Zhen actually considered Wang Kang's proposal seriously, shook his head, and sighed: "Dad's proposal is probably... difficult. Most of the detailed works that came to Jinan were detailed works that Huang Taiji had trained for more than ten years. He was skilled in martial arts, knew Chinese, and was good at disguising them. Not to mention anything else, they found it easy for them to know Chinese among Jiannu. How many people in Jinan who understand Manchu language in Jinan City? Not to mention not showing off their strength in front of Manchus."

One sentence has given Wang Kang a step.

Wang Ying muttered, "Yes, Mrs. Zhang... I didn't realize at all that she was not a Han person."

Wang Liu hurriedly shouted: "Sad, don't you shut up yet!"

"I carefully learned about that Mrs. Zhang. A Mongolian woman can speak Chinese to this level... With this attitude of studying, it is difficult for one hundred of my students to have such a hard work." Wang Zhen sighed, "She came to Jinan, all her comrades died, and her identity was exposed. She could not give up without being discouraged, avoid the investigation and continue to lurk, and be determined to be tenacious."

"If you have the ambition of others, you are just a barbarian woman." Wang Kang cursed hatefully.

"I asked Geng Dang, it was this barbarian woman who didn't know how to behave like a watery woman but dared to jump into the water to attract her third brother, and almost drowned. This kind of determination of 'if not succeed, it would be better to die'... If 20% of my men in Chu had this determination, the Chu Dynasty would not have become weaker."

"Hmph, so, why is Mrs. Zhang still a character?"

Wang Zhen sighed.

Mrs. Zhang's talent is impressive, but unfortunately, as a wild woman, not many people can recognize her talents.

He patted Wang Ying and said, "Let's go, you can go with me this time..."

He Zhengxiao slowly walked into He Liangyuan's public housing.

I saw He Liangyuan looking out the window with his beard.

"What are you thinking about by your clan brother?" He Zhengxiao asked.

"I read the "Three Kingdoms" the day before yesterday and suddenly felt something. In the fifth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought against Guandu, and Sun Ce prepared troops and planned to attack Xuchang and welcome Emperor Xian of Han... Do you know what happened later?"
To be continued...
