Chapter 31: Luring the Serpent Out of the Hole
When Li An heard this, he was stunned, and immediately understood what Guo Ziyi meant, thousands of refugees poured into Anbian City, there may be spies in the Tibetan army, once the Tibetan army spies make chaos in the city, and the siege army outside the city should be combined with the outside, the consequences will be unimaginable.
And this problem, Li An actually completely ignored, it can also be said that Li An did not think that the Fan army would send spies to infiltrate Anbian City, he was confused by the fierce and vicious methods of the Fan army, and even ignored that they still have a cunning heart.
Jiang is still old and spicy, Li An has to admire Guo Ziyi, his thinking is really meticulous, he even thought of this layer, and Guo Ziyi's meaning is to let Li An and these horses be deployed in the city to guard against possible spies in the army.
"General Guo rest assured, he will definitely find out all the spies in the city."
"Haha! With Li Shaolang's help, he would have been able to defend the south gate with peace of mind. Through a short period of contact and understanding, Guo Ziyi has recognized Ang Lee, and feels that Ang Lee is a very capable young man who can be entrusted with important tasks.
Subsequently, Guo Ziyi inquired about Li An's origin, and learned that his father Li Wu was a captain of the Pinglu Military Academy, and his official position was the same as his, and he couldn't help but sigh that Li An was a general.
The refugees who fled to Anbian City were scattered and resettled in various locations in the city, and there were special officials in charge of their food, drink, and Lazar, and for several days they were safe and sound, and there were no major security incidents.
Li Ang discussed with Li Fei Shouyu and others, and decided to secretly observe the area where the refugees gathered, and report any suspicious situation immediately.
"Big brother, they are all poor people, they are all homeless, but they still have to be treated as spies by us, it's really sad."
In a tea shed, Li Kunxiong said with emotion.
Li An picked up the teacup, blew it gently, and then put the teacup down again, and said with a straight face: "Kunxiong, General Guo's worries are not unreasonable, in case there are hidden spies of the Fan army among these poor people, do you know how serious the consequences are?" ”
"Big brother, but we have been observing for a long time, these people are all poor people, how can there be a shadow of the spy of the Fan army, it must be General Guo's heart."
Li An glanced at Li Kunxiong, and admonished: "The spies are the best at disguise, and they can't write on their faces, how can you see it, give me a good observation." ”
"Yes, big brother."
###
More than ten miles northeast of Anbian City, Li Tagu paced in the leader's tent, and Li Tianlong and other generals in the tent all bowed their heads depressedly.
The scouts they sent had already ascertained that the so-called reinforcements of the Tang Army were nothing more than nothing, and the location of the billowing smoke and dust was only scattered on the ground with branches.
This kind of shame and humiliation of being frightened made Li Tagu and his generals feel unbearable, they have more than 10,000 elite cavalry, but they were so frightened by Li An and his party that dozens of people ran away, if it spread, their faces would have nowhere to put them.
"I have more than 10,000 elite soldiers, but I was scared by a few boys, and I will definitely be laughed at if I spread it, it's hateful."
Li Tagu roared angrily.
Li Tianlong took a step forward and bowed his head and said: "Chief, the last general is willing to lead 3,000 elite soldiers to raid Anbian City and cut down all those boys who are engaged in conspiracy and trickery." ”
Li Tagu waved his hand, looked at the generals, and grinned: "Since they are playing conspiracy and tricks, then we will use their own way to govern their bodies, and there are our people in Anbian City, as long as the inside and outside should be combined, Anbian City is at your fingertips." ”
Li Tagu is still quite worried about the dangerous terrain of Anbian City, as long as there is a better way to take Anbian City, he will definitely not choose to attack this one, after all, the loss of a strong attack will always be the greatest.
"Chief, what should we do?"
Li Tagu stepped forward, whispered a few words in Li Tianlong's ear, and ordered: "Go and prepare immediately." ”
"The last general commands."
Li Tianlong received the order and immediately turned around and left the big tent.
####
In the evening, Ang Lee and Li Fei Shouyu gathered together to exchange their findings.
Li An looked at everyone and said first, "Kunxiong and I didn't find any suspicious people, what about you?" ”
Li Fei Shouyu shook his head slightly, and Li Feiyu also shook his head.
Zhang Erniu thought for a while, looked at Lifei Shouyu, and said softly: "Village master, I found a woman out of the city in the direction of the east gate today, she looks like Mi Niang. ”
Li Fei Shouyu was shocked: "Erniu, you really see clearly, is it Mi Niang?" ”
Li An, Kunxiong, and Feiyu were also surprised when they heard this, Mi Niang is from the Xi tribe, and there is no reason to appear in Anbian City, the biggest possibility is that it is a spy, and Mi Niang is very likely to be a spy of the Fan Army.
"They look very similar, and there is a mole on the corner of their mouth, I wanted to chase them out of the city to check, but dozens of people poured in from outside the city to block the way, and when I ran out of the east gate, the people had disappeared."
When Li Fei Shouyu heard this, his heart was stunned, if Mi Niang was really a spy of the Fan Army, what should he do, he was the one who saved Mi Niang back then, is he still going to shoot the people he once saved? Can he really do it?
Li An was also shocked, and shook his head and said, "It's all at this juncture, and the city is still open?" Aren't you afraid that the Tibetan army will rush into the city? ”
"Da Lang, from time to time there are people outside the city who ask to enter the city for refuge, they are all the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the soldiers guarding the city can't bear to lock them outside the city."
Zhang Erniu opened his mouth to explain.
Li An nodded, startled, and said loudly: "The people outside the city continue to pour into the city, if the soldiers of the Fan army are mixed in, the consequences are unimaginable. ”
"Big brother, if there are really spies in the city, then what should we do?"
Li An frowned and pondered, and analyzed: "Outside the west gate and the north gate is the gourd water, naturally don't worry, the south gate has General Guo Ziyi in charge, don't worry, the defense of the east gate is weak, in case the Fan army mixed into the city raids the east gate, and the Fan army hidden outside the city should be combined, the east gate is likely to be breached." ”
"Big brother, then we will all reinforce the East Gate, and we must not let the conspiracy of the Fan army succeed."
Li An pondered for a moment, and said: "This is just my personal speculation, in addition to the east gate, there should be one more target of the Fan army, that is, Zhang Qiqiu, the envoy of the Hengye army, killing the main general can lead to the discouragement of the army, and this has to be guarded against." ”
Li Fei Shouyu and the others all nodded again and again.
"Okay, will General Guo Ziyi be in danger?"
Li An waved his hand and said, "Don't worry too much, just send a brother to remind you, General Guo is thoughtful and will not neglect his own safety." ”
"It's okay, then we might as well prepare separately, I will bring half of the brothers to reinforce the East Gate, and you stay to protect General Zhang Qiqiu."
Li Fei Shouyu heard that Mi Niang went out of the city from the east gate, and was worried that Mi Niang would come back, so he had to go to the east gate to wait in person.
Li An nodded approvingly, and divided into two ways with Li Fei Shouyu's soldiers, respectively reinforcing the east gate and protecting Zhang Qiqiu, in order to ensure the concealment of the operation, Li Fei Shouyu and Li An both acted quietly and arrived at the designated location unconsciously.
After nightfall, more than 100 soldiers of the Hengye Army deployed in Zhang Qiqiu's mansion held torches and swaggered towards the south gate.
In the dark corner, there were dozens of pairs of eyes staring at these soldiers of the Hengye Army who were gradually moving away, and then the soldiers divided into two ways, all the way to the direction of the east gate, and all the way to Zhang Qiqiu's mansion.
Zhang Qiqiu's mansion was brightly lit, but quiet, there was no sound, and more than a dozen black-clothed people who climbed over the wall to enter looked at each other a few times, and touched Zhang Qiqiu's bedroom with daggers in their hands.
"Everyone is here, come in and have a drink!"
Zhang Qiqiu suddenly appeared in front of the door of the dormitory, smiling and looking at the dozens of black-clothed people who were approaching.
The man in black was frightened by Zhang Qiqiu's momentum, and felt a little bad in his heart, the quiet mansion, it is very likely that there is an ambush, but they have been scouting for a day, there are only more than a hundred soldiers of the Hengye Army here, and now, these soldiers have left, there should be no more Tang Army soldiers.
"Kill ......"
A man in black shouted and led everyone to kill Zhang Qiqiu with a dagger in hand.
"Whoosh ......"
At this moment, a large number of arrows suddenly shot out of the surrounding windows, turning the man in black on his back, and at the same time, three young men with spears appeared behind Zhang Qiqiu.
Li An looked sideways at Kunxiong and Feiyu beside him, and shouted: "Kill ......"
Most of the men in black who were shot and killed, where did they still have the ability to resist, although they were all well-trained warriors, but they were nothing in front of Li An, Kunxiong, and Feiyu, and the three of them wielded spears and quickly wiped out the remaining few men in black.
"Li Shaolang, stay alive."
Zhang Qiqiu's eyes widened, but he found that he was too slow to order, and Li An's gun was too fast, and he had already assassinated the last man in black.
"General, these black-clothed people must be spies of the Fan Army, no need to interrogate, or kill them cleanly."
Ang Lee's expression was quite relaxed.
Zhang Qiqiu sighed and looked to the east: "Li Shaolang's plan to lure the snake out of the hole has worked, there may be spies in the direction of the east gate, and Shaolang can immediately reinforce it." ”
Li An waved his hand, hugged his fists and said: "The general doesn't have to worry, there is Shouyu at the east gate, there will be nothing missing, besides, more than 100 soldiers detour to the south gate, and it should not be far from the direction of the east gate at this moment." ”
When Zhang Qiqiu heard this, he nodded reassuringly.
In fact, Li An is worried about Zhang Qiqiu's safety, although they have killed more than ten black-clothed people, but will there still be spies in the city? If there are any more spies in the Tibetan army, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Big brother, Kong Ming lantern, there are two in total."
Li Feiyu suddenly found that not far from Zhang Qiqiu's mansion, two Kong Ming lanterns had been raised.
Li An was shocked, glanced at Zhang Qiqiu, and blurted out: "General, we still underestimate these spies of the Fan army, they actually left their hands behind, these two Kong Ming lanterns must be used by the spies of the Fan army to transmit signals." ”
Zhang Qiqiu nodded lightly and frowned, it was obvious that the black-clothed man who broke into the mansion just now was only partial, and there were still people hiding in the dark to observe everything, and seeing that the assassination failed, he lit the Kong Ming lantern and sent a signal to his companions.
