Yingyang is a small county with no city walls. There is a wooden fence around it, which was built after Ding Jin occupied it. There is no maintenance at ordinary times, and there are gaps in many places. Ding Jin sent several soldiers to guard the gate, and they had to pay for entry and exit. You don't have to go through the gate to bring goods. People inside and outside the city usually come in and out through some openings. Day in and day out, not much money was received.
Wang Gan left the inn, walked around the city, and walked towards the gap under the big willow tree in the south of the city. When he reached the fence, he stopped and reached out to touch the big willow tree. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the two men not far behind him, Gui Gui Chongchong, and couldn't help but smile.
After leaving the city, we walked along a crooked dirt road. After walking less than a mile, there were no other houses and it became desolate. Arriving at the edge of a sesame field, Wang Gan touched his belt and stepped into the sesame field.
The two men behind were startled. He hurriedly hid in the bushes beside the road. After a while, one of them stretched out his head to take a look and said to the other: "There is no sign of anyone yet. Did that guy notice us and hide in the sesame field on purpose?"
Another said: "We were so careful, how could he find us? I watched very carefully on the road, and he didn't even look back."
The man who spoke in front nodded: "It makes sense. I saw that he touched his belt, maybe he went to the ground to defecate!"
The two men discussed and hid behind the trees. The weather at the end of April, with the sun shining brightly in the sky, was already very hot. After a while, the two of them were sweating. While wiping his sweat, he scolded Wang Gan in front of him.
Suddenly, one of the people hiding inside felt a heavy blow on the back of his neck. As soon as his eyes darkened, he fainted. The one next to him heard the noise, and just as he was about to turn his head to look, he was hit hard like the previous one and fell to the ground.
Wang dared to straighten up and kick the two of them a few times. He said: "Straight bitches, how can you follow people like this? Can't I see? Do you think I am blind? If I were not in Ding Jin's territory, I would have ended up with you."
After saying that, Shi Shiran got on the road and walked forward.
After walking two miles away, there is a large pond ahead. The mist is vast, the lotus leaves are swaying gently, and the birds are flying on the water. Several small boats lowered their nets in the pond, and there were two or three fishermen fishing on the shore.
Wang Gan went to the shore and stood for a while. Seeing that no one was following him, he strolled towards the three big willow trees in the east. Under the willow tree, a fisherman and a child were fishing peacefully.
Sitting next to him, Wang Gan quietly watched Diao Weng fishing. After a while, he said: "No fish took the bait today."
Diao Weng said: "The most important thing about fishing is peace of mind and being able to stay lonely. If not, just use a net."
Wang Gan smiled and said: "My father-in-law is right. Look at the people who lower the net over there. It doesn't take them long to raise the net, but it's much easier."
Diao Weng looked back at Wang Gan but said nothing. After a while, the fisherman said to the boy: "Xiao Yi, there is not much fish food left. Go over there and dig up some earthworms. Pick the big ones, and don't make a bunch of small ones to mess with me."
Tong agreed. He jumped up from the ground, holding a small basket in his hand, and skipped away.
Seeing the boy walking away, Wang Gancai said, "I heard that Ding Jin wants Liu Yu's envoy to come to Yingyang. Is that true?"
Diao Weng said: "It will arrive tomorrow. Ding Jin originally thought that if they could build up their momentum and join Wang Zhenfu, they would have a good position. Who knew that Wang Zhenfu just wanted to use the road, so he wanted to join Liu Yu Now. When you are in Yingyang, let Liu Yu’s envoys come, which will increase your worth."
Wang Gan said: "Ding Jin is a hero. If he joins Liu Yu's family, he will be manipulated by others. The governor just wants to take advantage of the situation, so Ding Jin shouldn't be happy? Why does he want to join Liu Yu when he is dissatisfied?"
Diao Weng said: "Today is different from the past. Ding Jin has less than 3,000 men under his command. He is sandwiched between Zhenfu, Zhai Xing and Liu Yu. How can he be the hero of one party? If he does not surrender to Liu Yu, Meng Bangxiong of Luoyang will not be spared. He. If it weren't for the 20,000 soldiers of the Zhenfu in Ruzhou to suppress Meng Bangxiong, Ding Jin would have been unable to stay in Dengfeng. Now that Liu Yu has usurped the throne and wants to move the capital to Kaifeng, the first person he has to deal with is Ding Jin. "
Wang Gan was surprised: "I haven't heard that Liu Yu is moving the capital."
Diao Weng said: "I didn't know until Liu Yu's envoys came. The first one I'm worried about now is Ding Jin, and the second one is Zhai Xing. Although the Zhenfu army is strong, its foundation is in Xiangyang, and Liu Yu doesn't care yet."
"That's it." Wang Gan nodded. No wonder Wang Xiaolie hurriedly went to join Liu Yu when he heard that Wang Xiaolie did not want to annex him.
Diao Weng said: "Ding Jin surrendered to Liu Yu, and the two capitals became one. In addition, the Jin army occupied Shaanzhou at the beginning of the year, and the road to Shaanxi was smooth. Liu Yu is likely to move the capital to Kaifeng within a year or two. By that time, Xiangyang The pressure is great.”
Wang Gan nodded and wrote down the words one by one. He is just a small leader, and it is difficult for him to come up with any ideas for these military and national plans.
Talked about the recent situation. Diao Weng said: "You came to me with something special?"
Wang Gan said: "Before we came, the intention of the governor was to borrow money, and even to give some benefits to Ding Jin. Now the situation has changed. Ding Jin has joined Liu Yu. Not only will we not be able to borrow money, but we may also threaten Ruzhou. Above It means it’s best to stop it.”
Diao Weng shook his head: "It can't be stopped. Liu Yu's envoy made it very clear. If Ding Jin doesn't surrender to the puppet Qi, a large army will be sent to attack in autumn. Ding Jin only has three thousand troops and no good generals, how can he stop him?"
Wang Gan said: "If you can't stop it, then replace Ding Jin with someone who doesn't vote for Liu Yu. If Liu Yu comes to attack, Ruzhou's army will naturally help. It has been less than a year since the puppet Qi Dynasty was founded. How many troops can be mobilized? In my opinion, there are Don’t have the right person?”
Diao Weng thought for a while. Then he said: "I can't give you a definite answer for the moment. Just wait two or three days and I'll go back and check."
Wang Gan said: "If you wait two or three days, Ding Jin will be able to negotiate with Liu Yu's envoys!"
Diao Weng said: "Don't worry, although Ding Jin has a small number of people, he still has two or three thousand people. Even if we have an agreement, how can it be so easy to want to join Liu Yu for a while? I have a few candidates in my mind, but I can't be sure. , you have to think about it. Besides, killing the leader and helping others to rise to the top is not something that can only be done with words. If you don’t want to be careful, you will cause big trouble."
Wang Gan said: "In that case, I'll give you three days. I went out of the city today, and there were two people following me. They should have been sent by Ding Jin to monitor me. In Yingyang City, I can't do anything without scruples."
Diao Weng smiled and said: "Those two people are indeed sent by Ding Jin. But don't worry, how can a person like Ding Jin have any capable subordinates? As long as you pay a little attention, there will be no serious problem. Just like today, there are only two people. Looking at us from behind, what do you know?"
Wang dared to look around. Seeing that except for three large willow trees, there was no place to cover his body. If you want to monitor yourself, you have to be dozens of steps away. How can you possibly hear what you are talking about.
