Dawei Fanghua

In addition to the four turrets and three towers on the city wall, the towers of the county temple and the small new city are the tallest buildings.

After eating and drinking, Qin Liang followed Sun Li up to the tower of the county temple. The two of them looked around the city from all directions.This city has only three gates, which is indeed not very symmetrical.

Sun Li suddenly asked: "Would it be too unfair to serve Zhongming 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 left Beijing in a hurry at the end of last year, and I couldn't find a suitable official position for a while. Only my subordinate officials can remove them on their own." He After a pause, he added frankly, "It saves trouble without going through the official department."

When Qin Liang heard this, he smiled and joked: "Many people call servants 'Join the Army'. I quite like this title. It sounds nice."

"Hahaha!" Sun Li laughed heartily.

At this time, Qin Liang once again talked about his opinion. Soochow Wu was very likely to send troops to attack Yangzhou.

Sun Li did not object to Qin Liang's judgment. He should think that the analysis was somewhat reasonable, but he was not sure.Qin Liang, who didn't talk to others about this kind of thing and put forward his opinions, couldn't be sure. He could only speculate on the possibilities. There were so many factors that affected the war, why didn't they all 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 who has served as an official, and often treats subordinate officials as party members.The subordinate officer and the master do spend a lot of time together. After being immersed together for a long time, it is inevitable that they will be involved in some confidential matters, and it will be easy to tie them together.

After the two returned to Shouchun, Sun Li lived directly in the official residence of the Governor's Department. Qin Liang did not get a house in Shouchun and could only live in the official residence.Living in the same place, they often eat and work together, and spend more time together day and night.

Soon, Sun Li was going to meet the real boss of Yangzhou, Wang Ling, the general who conquered the east and the military commander of Yangzhou, so he planned to take Qin Liang with him.

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 local decision-makers and hold all the military and political power in their hands.There are only two or three counties in the Wei State in Yangzhou, but the general who conquered the east and the governor are not the same person. They are really the little bastards of Chi.However, Wang Ling's governorship 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 governor's office. When he saw Qin Liang, he said: "The people in the governor's place are more talkative than Qin and I. Your opinion will definitely spread. If it is the first one, it is not right. After being criticized by others, 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 governor's office of Yangzhou and the general's office of Zhengdong, but also various institutions such as counties and temples. It was also the capital of the Huainan Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom of Cao Wei clan, and 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 Ling Huyu, who was Wang Ling's nephew.Linghu Yu was originally called Linghu Jun, but because he made Emperor Wen of Wei angry, he was ordered to change this strange 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 several people came to Wang Ling's house, there were many people present.After the introduction, in addition to the subordinate officials and generals of Zhengdong General's Mansion, these people also included local Zhongzheng officials and celebrities.The Zhongzhengguan should be in charge of the governor, but he was walking around in Wang Ling's house.When Qin Liang was in his hometown, he had already commented on the Zhongzheng officials of Pingyuan County and Jizhou, but he knew that no matter how many of them there were, they liked to criticize everyone they met.

Not long after, Wang Ling and a middle-aged man walked into the house.Just by looking at the way Wang Ling walks and the demeanor and posture of everyone in the hall, Wang Ling's identity can be determined immediately.

Qin Liang often heard about Wang Ling when he was in Luoyang, and even met his daughter Wang Xuanji in both directions.Today was the first time I saw him in person.

Unexpectedly, Wang Ling was very old. He looked to be at least six or seventy years old. The average life span of people at this time was not long, and it was not common for such an old person to still be an official.Moreover, he has a daughter who is only a teenager. Qin Liang really didn't expect him to be so old.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 little strange is that Wang Ling has very little beard, only on his lips; the middle-aged man who is suspected to be his son has a big beard and a beard (a beard on the cheek), but it is not as long as Guan Yu's legendary beard .

Everyone came forward to worship him, many of them with flattering expressions.

Wang Ling introduced his son Wang Guang to greet everyone. He was the middle-aged man who was with them just now.

Wang Guang was still in Luoyang at least last year, because when Qin Liang first arrived in Luoyang, he heard about his complaint at Cao Shuang's mansion.Now I don’t know 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 could have forgotten Qin Liang's name just by turning around.After all, he is older.

Soon Qin Liang was able to deepen Wang Ling's impression. Qin Liang went straight to the point and handed over two slips and said: "I would like to ask Duke Ming 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 this autumn, 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, and 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 and turned around and walked behind the desks at the top to sit down. He placed the slip on the desk and unfolded it to read.Wang Ling flipped through it briefly and asked, "So, Qin Canjun guessed?"

"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 more difficult to convince than Sun Li.There was no way he could get along with Sun Li day and night, but he was not familiar with Wang Ling.
