Regarding Xia Nan's statement, Sima De was not very optimistic: "My subordinates have served in the military department for many years, and I am very familiar with the behavior of these local general soldiers. They ate empty salaries and drank the blood of soldiers, each of them was more ruthless than the other, but they were asked to fight more and more intimidating, and they hid when they could, and pushed when they could. If there is no order from the Ministry of War, it will be a little difficult to say that they will be dispatched. It is better for the general to come forward in person, otherwise the two general soldiers may not buy it if they go to someone else. ”

Xia Nan thought for a while: "Jinghai County is close to Tianjin Wei, I can go in person." But Bazhou is a little farther away, and I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up if I come back and forth......"

Sima De sighed: "Only by taking one step at a time, the general can send a general to Bazhou, know the reason, move the emotion, can say that it is best to move Liu Guozhu, if you don't move, then you can only resign yourself to fate." ”

Xia Nan originally thought that Sima De was the right person, but when he rushed to Bazhou in one day, he had to change several horses, Sima De was just a scholar after all, his body and bones couldn't withstand such a toss, and he didn't know how to ride a horse, so he had to give up, thought about it, and said, "Just let Su Thick Legs go." ”

Su came out with thick legs: "Obey." The subordinates must do their best to mobilize the Baoding general army to send troops. ”

The next day, Xia Nan took the guard battalion, accompanied by Xu Zhong, the commander of the Tianjin Guard, to Jinghai County, which was more than ten miles away, to lobby Wang Hong, the general soldier of Tianjin.

Wang Hong is a middle-aged man with a short stature, not tall, with a sideways face and a somewhat vicious face. After listening to Xia Nan's explanation, he grinned - but the smile was more ugly than crying - and then said: "Dare to chase the Tartar all the way, Mr. Xia is a man, and Wang is extremely admired......"

Xia Nan's heart sank, generally this kind of opening remarks are always raised first and then suppressed, it seems that this trip will not be too smooth.

Sure enough, after Wang Hong said a few words, the words changed: "Wang is not like the chief soldier of Xia, who is a genius and young man, he became the chief military officer at a young age and was knighted. Wang started as a small soldier and has been in Rong for more than 20 years, and finally climbed to the position of the chief soldier in Tianjin, which was not easy to come by. It is certainly a pleasure to fight Tartars, but without the order of the Ministry of War, he sent troops without authorization, hehe, Wang did not dare to take this risk, in case he was removed from the post of chief soldier, Wang would have done it in vain in his life. Besides, the Tartars are known as 'invincible', how many people are there in our two families combined? Wang doesn't want to be sent to death......"

Xia Nan tried to persuade him: "I have already sent someone to the capital to ask for an order from the Ministry of War, if nothing happens, I will be able to bring the order back tomorrow, and General Soldier Wang doesn't have to worry about this." In addition, the Tartars are not three-headed and six-armed, the Qiong Navy has defeated this Tartar army in Shandong, and it is no problem to win again in Tianjin. At that time, the Qiong Navy is willing to attack as the main attack, and you only need to send 4,000 cavalry to contain the Tartars, and the credit will be at your fingertips, so General Soldier Wang may wish to think about it......"

Wang Hong was not moved by the beautiful picture described by Xia Nan, and replied politely but firmly: "Wang is still the same sentence, don't dare to take risks." If there is an order from the Ministry of War, Wang is willing to gamble and follow Mr. Xia to use his life to make a future, but now the division is unknown, and it is difficult to obey his fate. ”

Xia Nan didn't expect Wang Hong to be so resolute, he didn't know how to persuade for a while, and the words he had thought of in advance seemed to be useless, he was stunned for a while, and turned around to leave, but he was a little unwilling to think about it-he tried his best, and he was about to wipe out Abatai's troops, but he fell short, and he really couldn't overcome this hurdle in his heart - he gritted his teeth and turned around and said: "General soldier Wang, as long as you are willing to send troops, I will cover the grain and grass of the army and the rewards of the brothers, how about it?" ”

As long as you can win this battle, a little silver is nothing, and you should hire mercenaries. Summer Nan thought to herself.

Unexpectedly, Wang Hong still refused, he shook his head and said: "General Xia doesn't need to say any more, I have made up my mind, and I will never send troops without the order of the military department!" ”

Summer South ended up being disappointed and left. He really couldn't understand why Wang Hong refused to reap such a good thing to the door without spending a grain of grain or a penny?

Xu Zhong, who accompanied him, explained his confusion: "Maybe General Wang still has doubts about your strength in Ping Nanbo." After all, for many years, the imperial army has been invincible when it encounters the Tartars, and the fear of the Tartars has been deep-rooted, and there is no order from the Ministry of War, the name is not right, and the division is nameless, so it is reasonable that he does not dare to take a risk. ”

Xia Nan looked up to the sky and sighed: "Can't you stand up if you kneel for a long time?" Tartars are also flesh and blood, so why be afraid? ”

Yang Youji said with a gloomy face: "General, this surnamed Wang is so ignorant, let's let him suffer a little, fight with him, and obey him." ”

Xia Nan shook his head: "The big war is coming, it is impossible to merge with friendly forces, lose your strength, and let the Tartar fisherman benefit." The twisted melon is not sweet, Wang Hong has no intention of going to war at all, even if he is forced to send troops, it will be even more pitiful if he doesn't work when the time comes, so let's go. ”

After Xia Nanyi left, Wang Hong put away the hypocritical smile on his face, turned his head to a screen and said, "The one surnamed Xia has left, and the two envoys can come out." ”

Two brocade guards wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives on their waists walked out and said with a smile: "Fortunately, we arrived first, otherwise Mr. Wang would have been moved by this surnamed Xia, right?" ”

Wang Hong shook his head: "Even if the two of you don't come, I won't agree to send troops." ”

"Oh, why is that? The conditions offered by the surname Xia are very generous, and our brothers are very tempted to listen to it in the back. He will find a way to find the grain and grass, and the reward will also belong to him, and send thousands of cavalry to follow the credit, and make sure that you don't lose money! ”

Wang Hong grinned and replied, "The two of you are on an errand in Beijing, and you may not know much about local affairs. If I promise to send troops, and my soldiers receive a reward, what will I get? The surnamed Xia keeps saying that he has military exploits to be won, but he is the main force, we just shout along with it, and how much war exploits can be shared with me, I don't believe how generous he is. Besides, at my age, being the chief soldier of Tianjin has come to an end, and no credit is as good as silver, how good it is to stay in Jinghai in peace, why do you want to fight with the Tartars? ”

One of the brocade guards quipped, "What if he has an order from the military department?" What should Mr. Wang do? ”

Wang Hong smiled: "If the Ministry of War is willing to give this order, how can the two of you appear in Jinghai?" ”

The two brocade guards glanced at each other, laughed in unison, and said, "Mr. Wang is a real person, and he is reasonable. ”
