Chapter 299 Wang Yan
After the Houya, Sui Heng looked at the account book again, stroked his forehead and said, "In the past six months, he actually spent nearly 150 knots of money on the public official! Oh my God, if you don't forget it, I really don't know that the expenses are so large!"
The wife sitting on the side was indignant and said, "There are no honest people in these public officials! I heard that they have to pay back their money, but I don't know how many flowers there are in the account! One hundred and fifty taels, in my opinion, I'm afraid half of them are false accounts!"
"What's the solution? I've spent the money, and now I can only report it." Sui Heng could only sigh. "When I pay back the money, you will have to pay close attention to the family's accounts in the future! You can't just let the public officials report it casually like before!"
The lady said: "Why, do you dare to let the public officials buy things in the future? The money cannot pass through their hands!"
Sui Hengdao: "According to the rules of the court, I, as the magistrate, have two magistrates. However, now magistrates are not allowed to hire themselves and are sent by the government. This is a specialty for our family. There is nothing wrong with giving them money."
The wife looked disbelief. Now that she settled the accounts, her husband had been an official for half a year and had to pay back 150 knots of money, and she basically returned all her salary. Her family, who relied on her husband's salary, could she still believe others?
At this moment, an official came in and said, "I reported to the magistrate that there is a new financial officer. Jun, the people from the Fang Zhenfu Envoy came to the county and said that the magistrate would enter the county tomorrow. They didn't have much food and grass. Please prepare more food and grass for the magistrate, which is considered to be a right to borrow."
Sui Heng was stunned: "What Jin, Jun, Fang Punishment Envoy? Fan Zhicai, appointed a few months ago, died before he took office."
The official said, "I asked, I was the newly appointed governor of Zhang Shumi, named Wang Yan."
"So that's it." Sui Heng nodded.
Before the Battle of Fuping, Wang Yan disagreed with Zhang Jun's strategy, and the two had a very unhappy fight. The battle failed, and Zhang Jun did not want Wang Yan to continue to stay by his side. He was worried that the Jin army would enter Sichuan through Jinzhou, so he sent him to Jinzhou.
After thinking about it, Sui Heng said: "This year's autumn tax revenue has not been escorted to the state, but it can be lent to Wang Zhenfu. But this kind of major event cannot be decided by me, a magistrate? I will write a letter to Dengzhou tomorrow, and the magistrate will decide."
The wife said: "The person who came here was also a polite envoy, and he should report to Xiangyang."
"Yes, yes, I want to report to Xiangyang!" Sui Heng nodded repeatedly. "I will compile a book immediately and send it to Xiangyang quickly. Wang Yan was originally a tyrant from Hedong, but later joined the army. When the Jin people invaded the south, he organized the rebel army in Taihang Mountains, called the "Eight Character Army", and had a great reputation. Later, he went to Kaifeng Prefecture and had some friendship with us. Such people must be arranged to govern the slaughter."
In Xiangyang, Wang Xiaolie received Sui Heng's report and was shocked. He went to Kaifeng Prefecture to join Zong Ze, met Wang Yan, and received a lot of help from him. Unexpectedly, he was sealed nearby.
Jin, Jun and Fangzhou have a special status and are located in the mountains west of Dengzhou and Xiangyang. Although the place is barren, it is an important channel to go west to Sichuan and Shu. Go upstream along the Han River and you can go all the way to Jinzhou, which is Ankang in later generations. Jinzhou goes west to Xingyuan Prefecture, which is Hanzhong.
The Han River connects China's east and west, and has an important status. Especially before the Han Dynasty, the Western Han River had not changed to a southward flow due to earthquakes, and could go all the way to Longxi along the Han River. Liu Bang could build a plank road openly and cross Chencang secretly, so Zhuge Liang could only go out to Qishan, which was related to the change of the flow direction of the Western Han River.

Wang Xiaoli heard this and said nothing for a moment. This was something he had not expected. He originally thought that Li Yanxian would give up Shanzhou and enter the mountainous area, and the Jin army would not kill him. According to Wang Yan's intention, Wu Shu was worried about the safety of the retreat and would not give up until Li Yanxian was destroyed.
Guozhou and Shangzhou are the barriers to the north of Dengzhou. If these two places are lost, Dengzhou will no longer be safe, which is inconsistent with Wang Xiaoli's strategy. After thinking for a long time, Wang Xiaoli said: "There are only 30,000 elite cavalry brought to Guanzhong, and even if other servants are added, there will be no more than 50,000 people. If I go north to support it with all my strength, I don't know if I can defend it."
Wang Yan said: "It is hundreds of miles from Dengzhou to Guozhou, and it is all mountain roads. If you lead fewer troops, it will be difficult to resist the Wushu army. If you lead too many troops, it will be difficult to transport food and grass. It is a dilemma. I only have 800 soldiers and horses, and I cannot save Li Yanxian, so I can only wish him good luck."
Wang Xiaoli frowned and was silent for a long time before saying, "The safest way is to let Li Yanxian continue to retreat south. When he arrived in Lushi County, the supply line of the Jin army was too long, so it would be easy to defend. The problem was that when Wu Shu entered Guanzhong, Li Yanxian wanted to defend Shanzhou to the death, but I advised him to give up and the entire army retreated to Guozhou. If he asked him to retreat south, it would be difficult."
Speaking of this, Wang Xiaolien sighed deeply.
Overall, it is still a time when the Jin army is attacking a large scale and the Song Dynasty is resisting step by step. If the Jin army does not enter Guanzhong, Li Yanxian can naturally defend Shanzhou. When a large army comes, Shanzhou cannot be defended, and it is difficult for Guozhou to defend. Even if Wang Xiaolie has fully supported it, Li Yanxian will retreat to the Lu family line and use the mountains between Guozhou and Lu family to defend the Jin army. The Lu family is relatively close to Dengzhou, which is convenient for Wang Xiaolie to support it.
