Brocade legend

Chapter 87 Sudden realization
After listening to Wang Dayong's narration, Lu Bing couldn't help but secretly sighed that Wang Dayong was unlucky.

Wang Dayong bowed again to Lu Bing, and said, "So, thank you, the Imperial Envoy, for saving your life!"

Lu Bing quickly helped him up, and said repeatedly: "Master Wang, you are welcome!"

After being polite, the two sat down.

Lu Bingdao: "Master Wang, do you know where the Mongols are?"

Wang Dayong frowned, and said with a bitter face: "It seems that there is no news, probably he has already retired... Alas, there is not even the last chance to make amends.

Lu Bing comforted: "Master Wang is worried about the matter of Duoyan and Sanwei. The emperor will blame him? The lower officials think it is unnecessary. Today's sage has his own universe in his chest, so he will not wrong Mr. Wang."

When Wang Dayong heard the words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to Lu Bing, "I heard that Master Lu is a popular person in front of the Holy Majesty today, and I need to ask Master Lu to give you some kind words."

Lu Bing said solemnly: "Master Wang's plan for the Wuling Mountain City is very far-sighted. I think the emperor understands in his heart that there is no need for Mr. Wang to worry too much."

Wang Dayong nodded gratefully.

But Lu Bing went on to say: "However, this time the Mongols attacked Datong, and the Datong Army Town did not send troops to fight against the enemy. Although Mr. Wang has difficulties, he cannot escape the blame.

Wang Dayong sighed: "I understand that if I was convicted because of the attack on Datong this time, I will never have any complaints."

Lu Bing nodded, and said: "If Master Wang has such an attitude, then the subordinate officials will definitely report the truth, and will not let any villain blind the eyes of the Holy Majesty on this matter.

Wang Dayong stood up excitedly, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Imperial Envoy!" Wang Dayong understood that Lu Bing's reply meant that he agreed to help him. Although Datong was attacked, the city was not destroyed. Well, as long as no one intentionally puts eye drops on himself, this kind of crime will definitely save his head.

Lu Bing hurriedly stepped forward to support Wang Dayong, and said: "Your Majesty, you are being polite, the next official is just a matter of business, and it is Jin Yiwei's duty to present the facts to the emperor.

Wang Dayong admired the young man in front of him a little, and at the same time, he also had concerns in his heart. With this master, it seems that Jin Yiwei will change, and he must see the way in the future!
The two sat down again, Lu Bing said: "This time the matter is a bit strange, I have never been to the Northland before, and I hope Lord Wang can analyze it."

Wang Dayong said: "Your Majesty Lu, it's all right to say something, the lower officials must know everything and say everything."

Lu Bing explained the situation of the Mongols in Xuanfu and the strange behavior along the way, but only concealed some irrelevant things.

After hearing this, Wang Dayong murmured in his heart, and said: "This is indeed a bit strange, but it is not unexpected. The little prince may have just sent a team to make some money before returning to the grassland. After all, the military situation at the beginning It shows that there are only five or six thousand Mongols, which is not the size of the main force of the Mongolian army.”

Lu Bing felt uneasy and asked, "What does Mr. Wang mean by strange?"

Wang Dayong hesitated, and after a while, he slapped his thigh, gritted his teeth, and said, "Forget it, I won't hide it from Mr. Lu. In fact, in October last year, the little prince sent four armies to Datong, and they had already burned, killed and looted." After a while, it can be said that there were countless profits at that time, from the robbery last year to the present, it is only half a year..."

Seeing that Lu Bing seemed puzzled, Wang Dayong explained: "The Mongols are wolves, and they know that they cannot hunt frequently in one place, and they want to give their prey a chance to recuperate. Therefore, after they plundered a place, they will give this It is rare for local frontier residents to recuperate in the same area for just half a year. They first appeared on the border of Shaanxi at the beginning of the year, and they did not plunder when they passed by Datong Town in Xuanfu of Yijun. Now Besides, there is not much oil and water, maybe it is not enough to cover the military expenses, why should the little prince be like this?"

Lu Bing listened thoughtfully.

Wang Dayong looked at Lu Bing's face, and said cautiously: "Actually, in October last year, we also reported it to the imperial court, and the imperial court even sent generals out of the Beijing camp to control it. It's just the matter of the border, if it is reported to the court truthfully, The imperial court, the high officials in the imperial court do not necessarily understand the true sentiments of the people, and the decisions they make may affect the strategic plan of the border town, so the lower officials did not insist on reporting the losses truthfully."

Wang Dayong said, looking at Lu Bing's face, seeing that Lu Bing had nothing to say, he stopped talking.

Lu Bing actually heard everything in his ears, but now his mind is full of thoughts about the little prince's intentions, so he has no energy to pay attention to the deception that happened last year.

Lu Bing knew in his heart that although it is a great crime to deceive the emperor, there are countless incidents of deceiving the emperor in the Ming Dynasty, and they are staged in different corners of the Ming Dynasty every moment. For this matter that has passed, to make things difficult for Wang Dayong.Anyway, this Wang Dayong is still a talented official, and he is quite principled.

Thinking in his heart, Lu Bing suddenly remembered 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, Shaanxi was run by Mr. Wang Qiong. It must be very difficult for them to do well, so they went to Xuanfu again. The Mongolians wandered back and forth on the border, Taking advantage of loopholes has always existed, and it is not surprising. If they really want to start a full-scale war, they would not dare."

"I understand!" Lu Bing patted his thigh, stood up, strode out of the room, Wang Dayong hurriedly got up and followed.Lu Bing said to Yang Sen who was guarding the door: "You go to Huang Daxia, tell him to go to Shaanxi immediately, find Mr. Tang, and tell Mr. Tang that the main force of the Mongols may have gone to Yulin, and tell him to be careful of the Mongols!"

In addition, he ordered: "Let everyone rest early today, rest for a whole day, and tomorrow we will immediately set off for Yulin Town! After Huang Daxia informs Mr. Tang, he will meet us in Yulin!"

Wang Dayong listened to Lu Bing's order, and said: "Master Lu, are you in such a hurry? Why don't you take a good rest in Datong, and let the lower officials enter into the friendship of landlords."

Lu Bingsu Yan said: "Don't dare to rest for a while! My Jinyiwei is the emperor's own army. If it is not here in the Northland, it will be fine. Now in the Northland, the North Ninth Side is frequently broken by the Mongols, and they ran to our Daming territory to burn, kill and loot. , if this matter spreads to the capital and the emperor finds out, my Jinyiwei's information is not in place, let alone my dereliction of duty, it will be even more embarrassing. How can I have the face to see the emperor?"
