Hu Ren subdued, this operation definitely touched Wu Zetian's cool point, and then linked this matter with Longyou Dao's water control and harvest, saying that it is precisely because of the development of the Tang Dynasty that he has the heart of naturalization, which will definitely make Li Xian add a lot of impression points.

There are small tribes of Hu people in the Western Regions with thousands or even hundreds of people, and it is simple and reliable to buy a few to serve as a façade.

"Okay, you can help me invite a group performer, as many as you want."

Li Ran said that he was not short of money, and directly handed over 10,000 taels of silver tickets.

"No, I have this." , Li Chongrun smiled and patted the knife on his waist.

"If you don't have to, don't coerce by force."

Li Ran frowned slightly, knowing that he wanted to help him save money, but those Hu tribes didn't make mistakes, and it was very bad to make trouble.

“…… Okay, up to you. ”

Li Chongrun smiled, did not insist, the discussion was decided, and the next morning he took the people to look for the tribes that could be recruited.

Li Ran, on the other hand, is making the final production sprint.

The entire 10,000 acres of newly developed farmland in Longyou Road are covered with hybrid rice and potatoes, and the harvest period is next month.

The grain collection brigade has long been on standby, Wang Haibin even rolled up his sleeves and went into battle in person, the entire Longyou Road has failed to harvest year after year, and it is too much to need a bumper harvest to inspire.

Watching the crops in the field ripen day by day, the golden ears of wheat make people feel extremely happy, the overall situation has been decided, and Li Ran's hanging heart is finally put down.

In a few days, the grain will be harvested, and all the natural and man-made disasters he fears can be thrown into the trash.

"You're in a good mood." , Pei Min is like a ghost, appearing behind him from time to time to talk.

“…… Brother, personal guards are not like this, do you know what private space is? ”

"I understand, it's just, my eyelids are jumping these days, something bad must be happening, the last time my eyelids jumped, there was a plague in Broken Leaf City, so, please be vigilant."

"Hey, it's okay, it's my errand to tell the good fortune."

Li Ran glanced at him, his heart was not good, not bad, the crow's mouth was accurate, and the gods couldn't stop it.

“…… Uncle Cheng, go and inform the brothers who collected the grain, and tell them to hurry up, work all night, light lanterns to dry, and then rush to the construction period. ”

Be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, in fact, it has been too smooth recently.

As soon as he had finished giving the order, he rode a fast horse and galloped over.

“…… Young Master, it's our brother who stayed in Qiuzi City! ”

Cheng Bo gasped, and looked at the horse spitting foam, obviously galloping all the way.

A secret letter engraved with fire paint, with a white tiger drawn on the surface...... This is the secret signal set by Li Ran, the white tiger is in the west, representing Tibet.

On the secret letter, only one sentence was written.

"The white tiger bought grain and horse grass on a large scale for thirty days."

The Tibetans are buying the grain of the Hu merchants? The news itself is not unusual, in the broken place of Tibet, the grain output is not high, and it is close to winter, so it is normal to reserve the grain for the winter.

What the hell is the horse grass!

Nomads bring their own pastures, do they still need to buy them? The only plausible explanation is that all the horses are grouped together to cause a shortage of horse grass.

30 days...... Judging from the map, you can find supplies along the way to any gathering point in the Tibetan territory, and you don't need to prepare so many bulky things at all.

Except in one direction...... Datang!

Only the Dafeichuan uninhabited area that crosses the strong wall and clears the wilderness to draw the isolation zone will need to bring so much food!

After Dafeichuan, the distance from Liangzhou is only more than 100 miles, and the fast horse can arrive in two days!

Li Ran's eyelids jumped suddenly, and he shouted at Cheng Bo, "Go and inform the eldest brother, immediately gather the team and bring it to Liangzhou, as well as Wang Haibin, let him hurry up and prepare the border army...... The Tubo people want to sneak attack Liangzhou! ”

"Yes, yes, young master."

Cheng Bo was stunned for a second, as if he was clockwork, and rushed away.

He had no doubt about Li Ran's judgment, this young man had never missed a judgment.

“…… No, Cheng Bo can't persuade Wang Haibin, you and I go. ”

Li Ran paced a few steps and snorted heavily towards Pei Min, "Look at my eyes, if necessary, you can take him hostage and seize the Tiger Fu to transfer troops." ”

When the two of them arrived at the yamen, Wang Haibin really didn't think so, and complained a little.

"Brother Ran, my border army is helping the people harvest rice, isn't that what you mean?"

“…… So, you were so generous to send out all the border troops! ”

Li Ran was furious, and for the first time, he felt that honesty was a bad thing, and said hurriedly, "Hurry up and draw everyone back, especially the surrounding thirty miles, don't care about the crops, and go back to the city immediately to prepare for war." ”

"Preparing for war? Whoever called, it wouldn't be a Tibetan person. ”

Wang Haibin was half-joking, and he guessed accurately, and after seeing Li Ran's affirmative eyes, he couldn't laugh anymore.

"Brother Ran, are you too worried, the Tubo people only suffered a defeat in Lengquan a few months ago, how can they recover so quickly, besides, Liangzhou is an important town, give them ten guts, and they don't dare to attack this fortified city."

“…… Take out your Tiger Talisman and transfer your troops! ”

Li Ran's eyes were cold, and Pei Min behind him suddenly felt that the task was coming.

"Offended!" , with a broken drink, Wang Haibin was arranged to be obedient.

"Brother Ran, you, you are kidnapping the imperial court officials!"

"Buckle your hat or something, wait until you get through the hurdle in front of you."

Li Ran took the tiger talisman and hurriedly issued an official document on the transfer of troops back to the city.

An hour later, Li Xian and Xian Hui'er, who received the news, hurried to the mansion and saw Wang Haibin being tied up with five flowers, and they were dumbfounded on the spot.

"Master, don't be stunned, take Xian Hui'er and hurry out of the city, Uncle Cheng will assign a guard team of dozens of people to you, go to the mainland, the sooner the better."

"Ran'er, is it really Tubo's offense? …… Then I'm not leaving! ”

Li Xian shook his head suddenly, and said resolutely, "I am the governor of Longyou Dao, if I escape before the war, what face will I see the people of the world, besides, you and Chongrun are both staying here, how can I leave alone!" ”

This old man has to move his brother.

"Yes, Da Lang, we won't leave, if the city is broken, I will die with you!"

Li Xianhui's attitude was also resolute, seeing the attitude of the old man and his daughter-in-law to live and die together, the extra words were swallowed back into her stomach instantly.

“…… Well, a family, you have to be neat, phew, childish words. ”

Li Ran smiled bitterly, looked at the sky that was gradually darkening, and hoped that he would be lucky, at least let hundreds of nearby border troops enter the city, and there would be someone available at hand.

Fortunately, Lady Luck finally didn't give him a big mouth, and after nightfall, the two nearest border troops finally entered the city, and the four hundred people looked confused.

However, his good fortune also ended there.

Under the dark curtain, in the desert of Liangzhou City, dense torches suddenly appeared.

On the city wall, Wang Haibin, who was full of resentment, instantly widened his eyes.

"This, this is not our Datang's ......"

"Tibetan rangers, this way of marching, the only one."

Li Ran let out a long sigh and instructed Pei Min to loosen his ties, "Lord Wang, you won't be able to survive even one night." ”

“…… Pass on my military order, open the warehouse, and take bed crossbows, pine oil, and sassal wood to meet the enemy! ”

The veteran of the border army's ability to deal with it is really not covered, and Li Ran's hanging heart is at least half of it.

It's good, he still dares to fight.
