Chapter 612: Opinion

A day later, the "Bai Changqing's Recent Behavior Analysis and Deduction Book" produced by the Judge Department together with the other two analysis departments appeared in front of Wang Jian with a thickness of one inch.

After reading it twice, Wang Jian nodded his head as he was satisfied with the official document, and then transferred a rubbing copy, and the original copy was stored in the archives, and he personally took the rubbing copy to the governor of Jingxi Town, the imperial city. The yamen has a ginger face.

Unlike Shen Hao, Wang Jian did not receive any preferential treatment in the Yamen of the Governor of Jingxi. He was not even qualified to enter the tea room and could only wait in a side room at the back door. If he hadn't taken the warrant given to him by Shen Hao, he wouldn't even be able to stay in the side room.

After meeting Jiang Cheng, he handed over the document, and after a few simple inquiries, he was rejected. Jiang Cheng would not say a word to him at all, let alone directly express his views on this document.

Wang Jian was already used to Jiang Cheng's attitude, and he didn't feel that it was wrong. His own position was too low, and it was normal that he couldn't get into Jiang Cheng's eyes. But he is very satisfied to show his face directly. This is thanks to Mr. Shen for giving him the opportunity.

Wang Jian left the governor's yamen, but Jiang Cheng walked back and forth in the office with this newly handed-in document, feeling uneasy.

After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Cheng didn't rub the newly obtained document and send it to the file library, but put it directly into the storage bag, and after pushing away all the subsequent affairs, he went straight out. Went to the Zhenfu envoy Yamen to report to Pang Ban.

Even when they reported that it was an urgent business, they were stopped in the tea room and waited for half an hour. The guard's explanation was "The Commander has something important to deal with, please wait a moment unless it is urgent."

Having said that, Jiang Cheng naturally doesn't feel that the matter in his hands is urgent. It's just that what Jiang Cheng didn't expect was that on the way to Pang Ban's office with his consent, he saw a man in a dark green civil servant's robe, and he recognized this man: Wen Mingju, the left servant of the Ministry of War.

Wen Mingju bowed his hands towards Jiang Cheng without hesitation, and greeted him generously, but Jiang Cheng still had to see Pang Ban, so the two of them didn't chat much, and parted ways after a salute.

Why is Wen Mingju in command of the yamen? And it seems that Pang Ban should have been meeting him before?

While thinking in his heart, Jiang Cheng knocked on the door and was called into Pang Ban's apartment.

As soon as he entered, he saw Pang Ban standing in front of a three-foot-long and wide topographical map. From time to time, he used his hands to draw distances on the topographical map, looking very seriously. Although the map did not have a name marked on it, Jiang Cheng was familiar with the topographical context on it. He knew that it was a map of the barbarian area, but it looked far more detailed than the one stored in Xuanqingwei.

"Come on, take a look at this map, the latest and most complete." Pang Ban greeted Jiang Cheng with a smile, while he turned around and took a sip from the teacup on the table. Pointing to a small red dot with many lines and text notes on the upper right of the map, he continued: "Here, Jianchuan, is said to be the most difficult place so far.

According to the news from the front line, Jianchuan has killed nearly 40,000 people so far. The barbarians seem to have taken this place as the main breakthrough point. Not only did the army push forward, but they also organized small groups to infiltrate frequently, and almost pierced through the Jianchuan defense line several times.

Tsk tsk, it's hard for Zuo Yuliang, with such a long supply line and Jianchuan's undefended terrain, he is still stubbornly holding on. "

In the words Jiang Cheng could hear that Pang Ban did not agree with Zuo Yuliang's overall strategy.

Jiang Cheng was not surprised either. He has been in the army for a long time, and Pang Ban also has a lot of experience in the army. Although the two of them can't be called "famous commanders" or "generals", they are definitely knowledgeable. Zuo Yuliang's military strategy, which would rather stretch the front line than not retreat one step at a time, looks tough, but in fact it is taking risks.

Even though Zuo Yuliang may have other plans based on the information that Shen Hao sent back about Xiaochuan stationing 30,000 soldiers and then suspected to disappear in the sea of ​​bamboos, but taking risks is taking risks, and military strategists most taboo to take risks.

Pang Ban continued: "Now Zuo Yuliang's main formation has arrived at Wuhu Lake from the south of the Kunduo Pass. This can be regarded as shortening the line of troops, but the supply is still a problem. I don't understand this trick of his. What about you? Have you figured out something?"

"The subordinates thought that Marshal Zuo must have hidden tricks. The news that Shen Hao sent back earlier said that more than 30,000 soldiers were suspected to have entered the Wanli Bamboo Sea."

Pang Ban waved his hand to interrupt Jiang Cheng, shook his head and said: "I also read that information, based on the things Xu Hong recruited before, it is estimated that the people from the Ministry of War found the route, and after touching it a few times, I think it is feasible. Then it's a dangerous move. But it's not safe to put treasure on such a thing!"

Jiang Cheng wisely didn't speak again.

After a while, Pang Ban asked Jiang Cheng why he came today.

Jiang Chengsui took out the document reported by Wang Jian and handed it to Pang Ban, saying, "My lord, this is the latest deduction from Heishui. I think it's interesting. Please take a look."

"Huh?" Pang Ban glanced at Jiang Cheng, and couldn't help wondering what made Jiang Cheng use the word "interesting".

Jiang Chengshu stood by the side.

Pang Ban flipped through the document quickly, seeing ten lines at a glance, but for Pang Ban, he would never miss a single word. After quickly flipping through, I closed the document and put it aside, and tapped lightly on the cover with my hand.

"Hehe, you're right, it's really interesting."

"My lord, do you approve of Heishui's deduction?" Jiang Cheng reported that he only approved the logic in the document, but he didn't know that he had actually deduced the facts. He was just following the procedure when he handed it to Pang Ban. Secondly, it can be regarded as asking Pang Ban for verification. If you want to ask who in Xuanqingwei is most familiar with the situation in the temple, it must be Pang Ban.

"En." Pang Ban didn't shy away from it, and admitted it directly. He did agree with the deduction derived from Bai Changqing's behavior in this document. Then he said: "Bai Changqing is very smart, especially he has a keen observation of the general situation. At the same time, he is one of the few civil servants who knows current affairs. This kind of person is cautious and would rather defile himself than distance himself from Ye Lansheng and the others. What is it that scares him so much?"

"The people in Heishui are not clear yet, saying that they lack the intelligence support for analysis. It is estimated that there will be no basis for further deduction until the Ministry of Household Affairs issues a tightening strategy for money and grain."

Hearing this, Pang Ban pointed to the paperwork on the table and said: "The Black Water that Shen Hao has created is very good, and he has already seen good results. He has also handled many cases relying on the Black Water. But there are still limitations. You can’t just stare at your eyes. A lot of experience from previous battles with barbarians cannot be used as a reference this time, because the situation has changed too much.”

"What do you mean, my lord?" Jiang Cheng didn't quite understand.

"Although the tightening of money and food is an errand of the household department, it is not necessarily the household department that leads this matter."
