After listening to Wang Dayong's narration, Lu Bing couldn't help but sighed that Wang Dayong was unlucky.
Wang Dayong bowed again to Lu Bing, and said, "So, thank you for your life-saving grace!"
Lu Bing hurriedly helped him up, and continued to say: "Your Majesty Wang is polite!"
After being polite, the two sat down.
Lu Bing said: "Master Wang knows the traces of the Mongols?"
Wang Dayong frowned and said with a bitter face: "It seems that there is no news, it is probably already retired..., alas, even the last chance to atone for the sins is gone.
Lu Bing comforted: "Master Wang is worried about Doyan Sanwei's affairs. The emperor will blame it? The lower officials feel that it is unnecessary. Nowadays, the saints have their own things in their chests, and they will not be wronged by Master Wang."
When Wang Dayong heard the words, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he said to Lu Bing: "I heard that Lord Lu is the celebrity of today's sages, and I have to ask Master Lu to say something nice."
Lu Bing said sternly: "The lower officials found the Wuling Mountain City strategy proposed by Lord Wang very far-sighted. I think the emperor also understands in his heart that Lord Wang does not need to worry too much."
Wang Dayong nodded gratefully.
Lu Bing went on to say: "However, this time the Mongols attacked Datong, Datong Army Town did not send troops to fight the enemy. Although Lord Wang has difficulties, he can hardly be blamed for this. I am afraid that it is hard to escape.
Wang Dayong sighed and said, "Xiaguan understands that if he was convicted because of the attack on Datong, he would not complain."
Lu Bing nodded and said, "If Lord Wang has such an attitude, then the lower official will definitely report the truth, and will not let any villain blind the Lord's eyes on this matter.
Wang Dayong stood up excitedly, and said with great gratitude: "Thank you, Mrs. Imperial Commission!" Wang Dayong understood that Lu Bing answered that he promised to help himself. Although Datong was attacked, there was no city broken, according to Ming's custom of civil officials. , As long as no one deliberately puts eye drops on himself, this kind of sin will surely be saved.
Lu Bing hurriedly stepped forward to support Wang Dayong, and said, "Master Wang is polite. It is Jin Yiwei's duty to present the facts to the emperor.
Wang Dayong admires the young man in front of him a little, and at the same time he has a care in his heart. With this master, it seems that Jin Yiwei is about to change, and he has to see the way in the future!
The two sat down again, and Lu Bing said, "This time, things are a bit strange. The official has never been to this northern place. I hope Lord Wang can analyze it."
Wang Dayong said, "Master Lu said that it's okay, and when you go to an official, you know everything you can say, and you can't stop talking."
Lu Bing explained the strange behavior of the Mongols in the Xuan Mansion one by one, only to hide some irrelevant things.
Wang Dayong heard this, and muttered in his heart, "This is indeed a bit strange, but it is not unexpected. The little prince may have just sent a team of men and horses to fish before returning to the grassland. After all, the original military situation. It shows that there are only five or six thousand Mongolians, which is not the size of the main force of the Mongolian army."
Lu Bing was nervous and asked, "What does Lord Wang mean by the strangeness?"
Wang Dayong hesitated. After a while, he slapped his thigh and gritted his teeth and said, "It's nothing, I won't hide it from Master Lu. In fact, in October last year, the little prince sent a four-way army to Datong, which had already been burned, killed, and looted. After a while, it can be said that there were countless lootings. From the looting last year to now, it only took six months...
Seeing that Lu Bing seemed puzzled, Wang Dayong explained, “The Mongols are the nature of wolves. They know that they can’t hunt in one place frequently. They need to give their prey a chance to rest and regenerate. Therefore, after they looted a place, they will give this There are few opportunities for local border residents to recuperate and thresh grass in the same area in just half a year. They first appeared at the border of Shaanxi at the beginning of the year. Later, when the Yijun Xuanfu passed through Datong Town, they did not looting by the way. Next, there is not much oil and water, maybe it is not worth the spent military materials, why should the little prince be like this?"
Lu Bing listened thoughtfully.
Wang Dayong looked at Lu Bing’s face and said cautiously: “In fact, in October last year, we also reported to the imperial court, and the imperial court sent troops out of the capital to imprison them. It’s just border matters, if they are reported to the court. The court, the officials in the court did not necessarily understand the real people's sentiments, and the decisions they made might affect the strategic plan of Bianzhen. Therefore, the lower officials did not insist on reporting the losses truthfully."
As Wang Dayong said, looking at Lu Bing's expression, he saw that Lu Bing had nothing to say, so he stopped talking.
Lu Bing actually heard everything in his ears, but he was thinking about the little prince's intentions now, so he didn't have the energy to pay attention to the deceitful things that happened last year.
Lu Bing knew in his heart that although it was a great sin to deceive the emperor, but the Ming Dynasty didn’t know how many deceiving the emperor had happened. It was happening in different corners of Da Ming all the time. As Jin Yiwei, he saw a lot and he really didn’t want to. To make things difficult for the king to use for the things that have passed. In any case, Wang Dayong is still a talented official, and he is more principled.
Lu Bing thought in his heart, suddenly remembering a detail that Wang Dayong just mentioned, and hurriedly said: "Master Wang, you said that the Mongols first appeared outside Shaanxi this year!"
Wang Dayong was taken aback, and said: "Yes, in February, but Shaanxi was run by Mr. Wang Qiong without leaking. They should be very difficult to get well, so they went to Xuanfu again. The Mongols went back and forth around the border. It’s not surprising that there has always been loopholes. They really didn’t dare to let them go to full-scale war."
"I understand!" Lu Bing slapped his thigh, stood up, strode out of the room, and Wang Dayong got up and followed out quickly. Lu Bing said to Yang Sen who was guarding the door: "You go find Daxia Huang and ask him to go to Shaanxi immediately, find Lord Tang, and tell Lord Tang that the main force of the Mongols may have gone to Yulin. Let him be careful of the Mongols!"
In addition, he ordered: "Let everyone rest early today and take a day off. Tomorrow we will set off to Yulin Town immediately! Let Daxia Huang inform Mr. Tang and join us in Yulin!"
Wang Dayong listened to Lu Bing's instructions and said, "Master Lu, so anxious? Why don't you take a good rest in Datong and let the officials enter into the friendship of the landlords."
Lu Bingsuyan said: "Don't dare to rest! My Jinyiwei is the son of the emperor's army. If you are not in this Northland, it will be fine. Now in the Northland, the North Jiubian is frequently breached by the Mongols. , This matter, if it reaches Beijing and the emperor knows, my Jinyiwei’s intelligence is not in place, and my dereliction of duty is not to say, it will be even more disconcerting. What face do I have to see the emperor?"
