"Okay, my lord, I will do as you command. [](·~)" Sun Desheng replied solemnly.

"Master Yuan, in addition, we need to make more preparations." At this time, Chen Wenian interrupted again.

"What kind of preparation are you referring to?" Yuan Su looked at Chen Wenian and asked.

"As I said just now, this is not our territory after all. Wu Chenglu has been operating here for seven or eight years, and the strength of his six battalions is a big hidden danger. Judging from the current situation, we cannot suppress it in one go.

I'm afraid it's impossible to bribe or instigate rebellion among these six battalions," Chen Wennian said solemnly.

Yuan Su nodded slightly in agreement, but did not answer Chen Wenian's words for a while, and his expression gradually fell into deep thought.

If the problem can be solved without bloodshed, that would be the best, just like taking Tongyong Town and driving away Wang Huaiqing. But obviously Wu Chenglu is not Wang Huaiqing, and Shanhaiguan is not Tongyong Town. Even though Wu Chenglu is doing nothing, he has led troops in Shanhaiguan for many years.

, the troops under his command have never complained as much as the Tongyong Town Patrol Battalion. b fu ordered to relieve Wu Chenglu from his post as garrison envoy. [ ][ ~] However, in the past few days, Zhao Fangyu must have put bei jing in charge.

He told Wu Chenglu his full meaning. What Zhong Yang wanted to investigate now was his collusion with foreigners, not Wu Chenglu's corruption and perversion of the law.

Although it is not impossible to continue giving this a try, it is obviously more risky now than before!

In addition, judging from Wu Chenglu's preemptive strike early in the morning, the other party is also ready for tit-for-tat. Although Yuan Su has always been a little bit confused about this, but now, this is no longer an important issue. Everyone

Both sides know each other's purpose and will naturally try their best to carry out this contest.

If he still insists on attacking Wu Chenglu for the crime of "corruption and perverting the law", he will probably anger Wu Chenglu, and the other party will inevitably come back to fight under the banner of "zhong yang". Wouldn't it mean that a fight would cause extremely serious consequences?

Bei Jing will definitely investigate the bad influence, which will be very detrimental to him. What's more, it is absolutely impossible to defeat him with the strength of regiments and battalions he brought from Luanzhou.

Wu Chenglu.

But then again, for him, the most powerful and advantageous card in his hand is the crime that Wu Chenglu is carrying. Whether it is corruption and perverting the law, dereliction of duty or other crimes, these are all ready-made.

The excuse that is right in front of you. [New] [ ~] If you don’t take advantage of this, what excuse should you use to attack Wu Chenglu?

It's nothing more than more risky than before, but how can it be possible to do something big without risk!

Everyone saw that Yuan Su didn't speak for a while, and after waiting for a while, there was no response. They couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

Zhao Shanhe was the first to ask: "In my opinion, it is better to send a message to Changli immediately and ask Commander Li to lead his troops to come to support. There are some people and horses to take care of you. If you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst."

Chen Wennian immediately nodded in agreement and said: "Old Zhao is right. Everything else is easy to talk about. I'm just afraid that Wu Chenglu will fight us desperately. It's always right to dispatch more troops to prepare for any eventuality."

Yuan Su stopped and said seriously: "It is too obvious to send troops now, and it will definitely alert the snake. Now that the disaster relief work is in order and the conditions of the victims are stable, we have no reason to send more troops. Once Wu Chenglu notices,

With his preemptive behavior before, I'm afraid it will happen again. If we really fight, we won't be able to take any advantage, and it won't be easy to explain to the superiors!"

Chen Wennian frowned and said, "But if something goes wrong, I'm afraid we won't even have a chance to escape unscathed."

Zhao Shanhe said in agreement: "Yes, everything is ready, including preparing for the worst. We can't rely on luck alone to deal with Wu Chenglu. It's really a bit hasty to resort to such measures."

Yuan Su took a slow breath, his face was very resolute, and he said solemnly: "Don't worry, it's a very important matter, and I will never act hastily. At the moment, Wu Chenglu must still be trying to find ways to prove that I colluded with foreigners.

Before there is conclusive evidence, we will not rush to take action. We just need to make good use of this time and arrange all the plans. It was his preemptive strike before, but this time it is our turn to surprise him."

Everyone looked at each other, although their expressions were all heavy, but seeing Yuan Su's confident look, everyone felt somewhat comforted. In any case, if Yuan Su can lead everyone to this day, it will definitely not be possible.

One careless move will result in the entire game being lost.

Early the next morning, Yuan Su sent two telegrams respectively. One was to Luanzhou, instructing He Qigong to investigate the price of grain in the Beijing-Tianjin-Tang area as soon as possible and obtain a letter from an authoritative grain bank. The other was to Luanzhou.

Report the latest disaster relief progress to bei jing. In the past, messages in this regard were usually sent to the Prime Minister's Office, but today he skipped the Prime Minister's Office and sent them directly to the Presidential Palace.

In this telegram reporting on the progress of the disaster relief, he mainly stated two things. The first thing is that the disaster situation has been stabilized and the emotions of the refugees are under control. But if we want to achieve the effect of "long-term peace and stability", we must take industrial measures.

Methods for disaster relief. Regarding the specific plans for industrial disaster relief, he also briefly described the two major projects of building Yanghe Reservoir and Nandaihe Seaport. He also disclosed the progress of the two major projects, including raising funds and introducing technology from Western countries.

, loans and investment promotion, etc.

The purpose of mentioning the industrial disaster relief is to address the "crime of colluding with foreigners" reported by Wu Chenglu. Instead of waiting to attract serious attention from the central government, it is better to take the initiative to report this matter and try to report it in the best possible light.

, and can further eliminate the impact of Wu Chenglu’s false accusation to the maximum extent.

Yanghe Reservoir and Nandaihe Seaport were originally projects planned by Linyu County and Funing County a few years ago, but they were shelved repeatedly because they could not reach an agreement with foreigners. Now this matter is directly related to disaster relief, and the two major

The project itself is a major undertaking that benefits the country and the people, so we must find ways to put this plan into practice.

The technical shortcomings of the two major projects are a fact before our eyes. Even if they are completed in another twenty or thirty years, they will still have to cooperate with foreigners. For the sake of the overall situation, we have to keep in close contact with foreigners and discuss cooperation plans in detail.
