Li An looked at the rising Kong Ming lantern in front of him, his brows became deeper and deeper, and he speculated in his heart about the signals that the spies of the Fan Army might send.

This time, based on the unexpected appearance of Mi Niang and the continuous influx of fleeing people outside the city, Li An speculated that there must be spies of the Fan army in the city, and the spies of the Fan army mixed into the city, it is impossible to do nothing, and he will definitely try to cooperate with the Fan army outside the city to take Anbian City.

Assassinating the main general Zhang Qiqiu and raiding the east gate are both good choices, as long as the main general is dead and the east gate is breached, Anbian City is in the pocket of the rebels.

However, there were more than 100 soldiers of the Hengye Army in Zhang Qiqiu's mansion, and it was difficult for the conspiracy of the Fan army to succeed, in order to lure the Fan army spies to throw themselves into the net, Li An persuaded Zhang Qiqiu to transfer more than 100 Hengye troops in the mansion, and let them detour to the south gate and quietly reinforce the weak east gate.

Li An's plan to lure the snake out of the hole was undoubtedly a success, and the spies of the Fan army really hit the plan, and broke into the encirclement preset by Li An, and were killed.

But the Fan army left behind, but Li An didn't expect it, which shows that the leader of the Fan army is far more clever than he imagined, and he is a thoughtful person.

Then, in this way, the raising of these two Kong Ming lanterns is likely to tell his companions inside or outside the city that his assassination operation has failed, and such an urgent raising of Kong Ming lanterns seems to indicate that his companions are also preparing to take action, and he must stop his companions immediately to avoid suffering greater losses.

Li An figured out the joints, and smiled indifferently at the corner of his mouth: "General, if it is as expected, there is still a group of people and horses in the Fan army who are preparing to raid the east gate, and there is also a team of soldiers and horses in the Fan army who are preparing to attack the city outside the east gate. ”

Zhang Qiqiu couldn't help but be impressed by Li An's analysis, and looked at Li An with appreciation, he was the chief general of the Yokono Army, but he believed in Guo Ziyi's ability, so he was relieved to hand over all the rights to defend the south gate to Guo Ziyi, and he also believed in Li An's ability, so when Li An proposed a plan to lure the snake out of the hole, he also readily agreed.

Now, after listening to Ang Lee's analysis, Zhang Qiqiu appreciates it even more, feeling that Ang Lee is a rare talent, and he only hates that he doesn't have such an excellent talent as Ang Lee.

"If my dog can have half of Li Shaolang's ability, he will be willing to die."

Zhang Qiqiu's words of emotion were full of appreciation.

Li An was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said politely: "The general has won the award, but he is still too immature to think of the backhand of the Fan army in advance, otherwise, this Kong Ming lantern will not appear." After speaking, he glanced at Kong Minglan again.

Excellent but not arrogant and complacent, which made Zhang Qiqiu even more appreciative, he smiled, and said softly: "The spies of the Fan army have not been completely annihilated, they are hiding in the city, and sooner or later they will be a scourge, and the matter of finding out the spies will be handed over to Li Shaolang." ”

Li An bowed his head and said: "The general can rest assured, he will definitely annihilate all the spies in the city." ”

Near the east gate of Anbian City, dozens of black-clothed people hid in a dark corner, ready to attack the east gate at any time, but when they saw the Kong Ming lantern rising behind them, they immediately dispersed and evacuated, and before evacuating, they also lit two Kong Ming lanterns.

Outside the east gate, Li Tianlong, the general of the Tibetan army, led his five hundred soldiers to quietly touch the position not far from the city gate, and quietly ambushed.

"General, two Kong Ming lanterns, the operation is canceled tonight."

A sharp-eyed pro-soldier, looking at the higher and higher Kong Ming lantern, reminded in a low voice.

Li Tianlong looked up at Kong Mingdeng, suddenly slammed his fist on the ground in front of him, and said angrily: "A group of useless waste, such a trivial thing can't be done, let Lao Tzu run for nothing." ”

"General, let's go back!"

Li Tianlong snorted and ordered: "Withdraw, withdraw." ”

With full of unwillingness, Li Tianlong led five hundred elite soldiers under his command and quietly evacuated outside the east gate.

Although there was little movement outside the city, the keen-eyed Lifei Shouyu still saw something unusual, and bent his bow and shot an arrow at the swaying grass outside the city.

"Uh......"

A soldier of the Tibetan army was unfortunately shot in the arm and wailed.

"There's movement outside the city, there's movement outside the city."

The soldiers of the Yokono Army on the city wall looked nervously outside the city.

However, Li Tianlong and his five hundred soldiers were evacuating, and soon disappeared without a trace, and the outside of the city was quiet again.

Li Fei Shouyu looked at the two Kong Ming lanterns that were raised, and frowned deeply.

###

Ten miles northeast of Anbian City, Li Hanlu fell into deep thought in the tent, and Mi Niang stood next to him with a worried expression.

"Mi Niang, do you really see clearly, those people from White Wolf Mountain are in Anbian City?"

Li Hanlu couldn't believe it, after all, White Wolf Mountain was so far away from Anbian City, how could these people come to Anbian City?

Mi Niang nodded and said: "County Lord, Mi Niang can see clearly, Li An and his brother are very conspicuous with short spears on their backs, I am afraid that they will find out, so I took the opportunity of the city gate to open and ran out secretly." ”

Li Hanlu nodded lightly: "In this way, they are really in Anbian City." ”

His father was bent on breaking through Anbian City, but Li An and the people from the White Wolf Village were in the city, which made him Li Hanlu feel very worried, after all, Li An and the people of the White Wolf Village had saved her life, she was a person who knew how to repay her kindness, so she naturally didn't want to watch Li An and the others suffer from the pond fish.

Mi Niang was worried about the safety of Li Fei Shouyu, and said: "County Lord, the operation failed last night, Li Tianlong was very angry, and planned to let his subordinates blend in the city and poison the well in the city. ”

"Poisoning." Li Hanlu was shocked and said angrily: "This Li Tianlong's heart is too dark, poisoning will kill tens of thousands of innocent people, no, I want to tell my father." ”

Mi Niang hurriedly stopped: "County Lord, it's useless, the leader is bent on breaking through Anbian City, and he won't care about the life and death of the Tang people." ”

Li Hanlu sighed and looked at Mi Niang: "Then what do you think should be done?" ”

Mi Niang lay in Li Hanlu's ear and whispered her thoughts.

Li Hanlu nodded: "It seems that this is the only way, Mi Niang, you can do it with confidence!" ”

Mi Niang nodded lightly and turned to leave the tent.

There are hidden spies in Anbian City, and these spies are hidden among many ordinary people, which is very difficult to find, which makes Li An feel quite a headache.

After thinking about it all night, Li An made a bold decision, gathered all the people who had taken refuge in the city in one place, and asked them to supervise each other, report any abnormal situation immediately, and give a large reward if it was found that it was a spy of the Fan army.

This is called the mass line, and at such times, only by following the mass line and mobilizing all the people to act together can we better guard against the spies of the Tibetan army, so that they are subject to restrictions everywhere and it is difficult to carry out activities as they want.

"Kunxiong, why didn't Shouyu come back?"

Ang Lee thought of a plan of action and was about to tell everyone, but found that Li Fei Shouyu was not there.

"Big brother, Shouyu is still at the east gate, he has to wait for Mi Niang to appear."

Li An nodded, looked at Kunxiong, Feiyu, Zhang Erniu and the others, told them their plan, and asked them to split up and work with the officials in the city to gather all the fleeing people in an open place in the northwest corner of the city to facilitate surveillance.

After listening to Ang Lee's plan, everyone felt that it was very feasible.

Li An and others were not officials of the imperial court, but they saved Zhang Qiqiu's life and became a celebrity around Zhang Qiqiu, for this reason, Li An put forward a request for centralized resettlement of the fleeing people, and immediately won the support of the officials in the city, and prepared to place all the people who fled into the city as soon as possible in the northwest corner of the city.

"You just settled down, and you want to move places, what are you tossing?"

A small official muttered discontentedly as he drove the people away.

When Li An heard this, he was naturally very displeased, and said loudly: "You, what are you talking about?" ”

"Yo, Li Shaolang, no, it's nothing."

Li An took a step forward and said, "I know that many of you have grievances, but there are spies of the Fan army in the city, and they are hidden among the fleeing people. ”

"Understood, understood." The little official nodded hurriedly and continued to urge the people.

Li An knew that the best way to deal with these slippery little officials was to deter, and with Zhang Qiqiu behind his back, he was not afraid of these slippery heads.

"Wait."

"What do you command?"

Li Anzheng said: "If some people are unwilling to move places, it is very likely that they are spies of the Tibetan army, and these people must be strictly examined, and if they are suspected, they will be directly arrested and put in prison." ”

"Yes, understood."

Inspecting and arresting people is what these officials are good at, and Ang Lee has given them such a task, which can be regarded as the right person.

In the direction of the east gate, Li Fei Shouyu only rested for a few hours, then stood on the city gate tower and watched every move outside the city, she felt that since Mi Niang left from the east gate, it was very likely that he would come back, and he would have to wait here in person.

At noon, dozens of people gathered outside the east gate one after another, shouting for the city gate to be opened, and a petite figure also appeared in the crowd.

Li Fei Shouyu, who was standing on the tower of the city gate, recognized this petite figure as Mi Niang at a glance, and couldn't help but feel greatly surprised in his heart.

Mi Niang looked up in the direction of the city gate tower, and also found Li Fei Shouyu, her eyes were slightly surprised, and then she took a few steps back, pulled out the crossbow in her arms, and aimed at Li Fei Shouyu.

'Mi Niang, what are you doing here, do you want to kill me? Li Fei Shouyu was extremely shocked in his heart, he couldn't believe that this was true, even if she was a member of the Fan Army, there was no need to snipe herself at this time!

"Whoosh......"

The crossbow bolts whistled out and shot in the direction where Li Fei Shouyu was.
