Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 6 Everyone Has a Fantasy
Northeast of the Great Wu Empire,

Pingyang County City,

Guard General Zhang's Mansion,

As Qianhu, the resident of the Imperial City Division of Pingyang County, Shen Baichuan had been trying to seek to be transferred from this place, but he had never been successful.

Not to mention that it’s not good here, it’s really not good. People who are freezing in winter can’t stand it. Secondly, they don’t feel safe anymore. There are Jurchens’ rangers everywhere. This is it.

Since Pingliao City fell to the hands of the Jurchens at the mouth of the valley in the east of the Luoyun Plain, this place has not been safe.

Without the dangerous pass of Pingliao City, Luoyun Plain is in danger of being patronized by Jurchens almost every day. He has heard about what happened outside the city yesterday.

The reason why they didn't come to discuss yesterday was because they were lucky. Maybe the lord and the others could return safely. Who knows that two days have passed, and they haven't even seen a horse hair.

I came here today to ask Zhongshun King Zhou Shian and the whereabouts of the honorable generals, and see if the guards have any good solutions. As for the [-] cavalry, they are probably gone, so I will discuss with Zhang Shoubing how to solve this matter.

If you don't handle it well, let alone transferred, it's just a question of whether you can keep your head!

Zhang Jinyu also walked into the living room with some guilt, and asked Ning Bian and others to let the wind outside.

As soon as he came in, he saw Si Qianhu in the imperial city sitting there with an unsteady expression, seemingly preoccupied.

I wondered if I had discovered it. Could it be that the person opposite hadn't figured out how to ask?You can't beat him to death and you won't admit it.

"Cough! Shen Qianhu, what brought you here?"

Zhang Jinyu coughed guiltily and asked first,
Shen Baichuan, who was sitting on the stool, suddenly jumped up when he heard the question, and Zhang Jinyu was startled by the big movement.
"Here! What's on Qianhu's mind? Are you so out of your mind?"

Zhang Jinyu was a little puzzled, this didn't seem like asking about money.

"It's Zhang Shoubei, don't blame it, don't blame it, brother Yu is worrying about our wealth and lives!"

Zhang Jinyu was a little dazed when he heard Shen Baichuan's heavy words, why did he not only want money, but also his life?
No!

Absolutely not!

"Then Shen Qianhu, tell me, what's the matter!"

If you come, you will be at ease, and Zhang Jinyu also let go of the burden, came over, sat down and asked.

"Brother Yu, let's make it clear. Zhang Shoubei also knows what happened yesterday. The whereabouts of Lord Zhou and the generals are unknown. The life and death of twenty thousand soldiers are even unknown. How can I explain to the court! What does Zhang Shoubei think?"

Only then did Zhang Jinyu breathe a sigh of relief, if the money wasn't found, that's fine. As for why I didn't watch it, I just sat and watched it!

"Shen Qianhu, if you have something to say, I shouldn't think about it, right? The report is a matter for your Imperial City Secretary, and I'm a general who defends the city. Do you still have to say anything about it someday?"

Zhang Jinyu poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip and continued;

"As for how to look at it, have you seen the Jurchen camp outside the city? It should be what they think. The moat should be filled in tomorrow. What do you think about Shen Qianhu?"

When Shen Baichuan heard this, his expression was like that of a dead relative, his eyes were dull, and he sat there with his buttocks, muttering to himself;

"Then, then, isn't it dead?"

"To survive from death, let's see how Shen Qianhu chooses?"

Seeing Shen Qianhu entangled like this, Zhang Jinyu had an idea in his mind. If he conspired to give the court a white lie, for example, all parties are now trying to force Yangjun City.

The Luoyun Plain in Pingyang, everyone wants this Luoyun Plain, and Zhang Jinyu wants it too!
If we take down Pingliao City in the east, close the gate on the east side of the plain, the Tianbai Mountains in the north, and Pingyun City in the west of the plain, I'm trying to get it.

The family's century-old plan has laid the foundation in his own hands, and the future is simply something to look forward to. If nothing else, the Tu Emperor will make a decision. As for whether he can go up again in the future, it depends on the opportunity.

It's not Zhang Jinyu's fantasy, but the Dawu Dynasty is still implementing the Jiedushi system. Jiedushi are served by these founding dignitaries, but they have always held important positions in the pass.

As for the border gate, there are very few nobles who take office here, because there are long-term wars at the border gate, and those big families, honorable nobles, etc. do not want to come here.

Therefore, the garrison general who is known as the largest city in the north would not be Zhang Jinyu's turn. If it weren't for the special fur here and the precious medicinal materials and ginseng in Tianbai Mountain, Pingyang County would have been deserted long ago.

So this matter, whether it is a fantasy or a dream, let's see if there is a chance, or what if the emperor agrees!

What is the difference between this person and a salted fish if he has no fantasy.

When Shen Baichuan heard Zhang Jinyu's words, he felt that there was something in the words, as if they had another meaning, so he asked;
"Let's make it clear, General Zhang, let's exchange opinions! Sum up."

"That's fine, I won't be sloppy anymore. I think the people led by Prince Zhongshun are in danger. Although today is not a formal battle, the Jurchens we fought were so miserable, and I didn't see him pulling people like the prince into Going forward and threatening us, this shows three points!"

"Which three?"

Shen Qianhu followed up and asked;

"The first point is that all the people brought by the prince died in the battle, and one was not caught. The second point is that if you are caught and you don't know your identity, but it is unlikely. If you don't reveal your identity as a Jurchen, you will be a slave. These officials The master can bear it? The third is to die in battle, and the rest escaped, but now I don’t know where to escape?”

Shen Baichuan is also seriously thinking about Zhang Jinyu's words. All three points are possible. Before he was concerned, he was confused, and he lost his sense for a while. Now think about it carefully;
It is impossible for all the members to die in battle. All the elite personal guards of the generals can still break through the encirclement.

It is possible to be caught, but judging from today's siege, the chances are not very high.

That fled, ran south!

It will take three days to get to Pingyao City from here to the south, or are you waiting?
"The general is right. Then wait a little longer. It should be a breakout to the south. The three-day journey from Pingyao City in the south to our place has already passed two days. We will know the news tomorrow. arrive."

Only then did Shen Qianhu let out a sigh of relief, as long as nothing happened.

"Shen Qianhu, don't think too much about good things. The Pingyao city guard and the prefect have long since fled. I should send someone to lead 5000 troops there to defend the city temporarily. Otherwise, our retreat will be cut off. You don't know the matter yet, do you?"

"What? No way? The prince of Zhou didn't know at the time?"

Shen Qianhu had a look of surprise on his face, he really didn't know, the Imperial City Secretary of Pingyao City didn't send a letter to Pingyang County City either.

"According to the deputy general in the reinforcements, they didn't enter Pingyao City at all, but came directly to our Pingyang City. If those who break through must inquire about Pingyao City, if they know that the guards and prefects have escaped, there are no more than [-] soldiers inside. If you Will you stay?"

"This, this! Damn it!"

Shen Qianhu was completely caught by Zhang Jinyu's words now, so frightened that she knelt down and hugged Zhang Jinyu's thigh,
"General Zhang, for the sake of our colleagues for so many years, save me. I don't even know that the guard of Pingyao City ran away. That means that Baihu of the imperial city department also ran away. Serious dereliction of duty, this will mean sitting in the Imperial City Division."

Seeing Shen Qianhu kneeling with snot and tears, Zhang Jinyu hurriedly helped Shen Qianhu up, grabbed Shen Baichuan who was still about to kneel, and said sincerely;

"My brother Baichuan, what can't be saved? We've worked together for so many years and still talk about it. If I say that, we'll all be grasshoppers on the same rope. It depends on whether you dare to do it!"

"Brother Zhang Xian, what do you think we should do? It's all for this sake, if they dare to do the first grade of junior high school, I will dare to do the fifteenth grade."

Shen Baichuan gritted his teeth and answered,

Thinking that he was cheated by his subordinate Baihu, Shen Baichuan also made up his mind to fight back fiercely. Anyway, this is the situation, and how bad it could be.

Officials and generals in the city who leave their posts without permission will be beheaded in Dawu, not to mention that the Imperial City Secretary is a servant of the royal guard, it all depends on the emperor's mood.

The internal Imperial City Division implements the continuous sitting system. If there is no suitable excuse, it will be the end of itself, and there are not many days left.

"Okay, Brother Shen Shi is refreshing, then I'll say it, I want to be the only Jiedushi on Luoyun Plain!"

After hearing this, Shen Baichuan stared at Zhang Jinyu with wide eyes in shock, and gasped!
"you you"
