Chapter 228: A Fire Under the Mountain, Tong Guan Finds Me (II)
"Who?"
Li Kou was reading, the flags fluttered on the mountain behind the military village, there were scouts to report, several groups of people and horses along the mountain road went straight to the military village, so he asked.
The scout was not alarmed, but admired.
"Zhizhai is a true god, I expected them to come." The scout took the tea bowl, drank some water, and said, "It's just not all the way, how to fight?" ”
Li Kou smiled and said, "Where is God? However, the military village is too important, they will inevitably come, it is the previous general judgment, don't they also do defense. There is no need to flatter me, this battle will require the help of the brothers. ”
The scout said excitedly: "Where do they know about the soldiers, they only let us work hard." Zhizhai but sitting here and eating these soldiers and horses is too easy. ”
Is it?
Li Kou advised: "Go and give an order, and don't fight today." ”
Yes?
Not only were the scouts stunned, but the henchmen around him were also puzzled.
"Order the surrounding area to strictly guard the gate of the wall, no one is allowed to enter or leave without a military order. Orders were given to the people at the foot of the mountain, and the armies were not allowed to attack without authorization. Li Kou got up and rubbed his wrists, he wanted to go up the mountain to see the origin of these people.
Zhu Wen had already ordered someone to inform the state government.
It's just that he didn't expect that Murong Yanda sent someone to deliver the news at this time.
"There are spies in the city, and they come from different ways; When asked about his body, he did not know where to hide. Murong Yanda's handwritten letter.
Li Kou looked at the old courtyard and taught him to rest in the village first.
The old family shook his head, just wanting to ask for an answer.
Murong Yanda attacked his heart with anxious anger in the city, the enemy spy was under the rule, it was his fault, and now he wants to be promoted, this is an opportunity, however, if he can't catch the spy, everything is not easy to say, but he is afraid that he will be blamed.
Li Kou's left and right henchmen were furious: "Can you see that there are good ideas every day?" ”
The old family courtyard gave up: "Others can't Li Dalang." ”
Left and right laughed and said: "The old family yard is the best at watching people." ”
Li Kou laughed and laughed, he was not a god, how could he tell Murong Yanda an accurate answer?
"How did you get here?" Li Kou suddenly remembered the fact that there were only three or five family members in his hometown.
Now that we have seen the traces of thieves, how can the road be so easy to walk?
The old family reported truthfully that they had come by detouring to the official road.
"You stay for the time being, I will order someone to go, Brother Murong is too nervous, this is obviously ......" Li Kou frowned, "I'm afraid, Brother Murong's ambition is still obstructed." ”
"Ahh The old family asked for an idea.
"You don't need an idea, you can stay, Brother Murong, I have my own arrangements." Li Kou immediately went up the mountain, and asked about Luda's movements on the way, and his henchman said that Luda had been ordered to lead his troops to withdraw to the state government.
In other words, in front of Li Kou, only Qu Jun's centaur can be summoned.
"Good!"
Li Ko took a knife and went straight up the mountain.
On the hill, the newly built camp blocked the advance of several enemy forces.
Li Kou took a closer look at the top of the mountain, and he was all under the banner of the Tibetan tribes.
"That's Qingqiang's banner, it's just strange, why didn't the caravan that passed by the day before yesterday come back?" The head of the guard on the mountain, that is the commander who is close to the enemy, carrying an iron rod in his hand, shaking his hat, seeing Li Kou hurriedly standing behind him, but he has contempt in his heart, so he talks about the enemy army on the opposite side.
When Li Kou took a closer look, several flags that were openly opened actually had the posture of converging together.
Are they going to attack?
Li Kou ignored it, and didn't ask which tribes were coming from the other side.
He only ordered all the heads of all roads to be strictly guarded, "as long as they are not allowed to enter the village, it is considered a military merit." ”
At night, the Tibetan tribes that were moving up the mountain little by little stopped.
The heads of the capitals who had been anxious for a day came to fight again.
Li Kou was reading a book in the lobby of Zhizhai and was missing.
"If you don't fight, isn't it the traditional way of playing in the Western Military Village?" Li Kou ordered his henchmen to just inform the leaders of all walks of life.
The leaders were not convinced, and they did not dare to refute.
"Let's see how he copes with it tomorrow." The leaders had no choice but to leave.
At dawn, the people and horses of the Tibetan tribes shouted and swarmed to the military village to kill.
"Just hit it with a rolling wood and stone cannon, and don't fight it." Li Kou gave another order.
This is inevitably underestimated.
"There are thousands of displaced people in the village, and it is enough to defend the village. There are hundreds of Xiang troops, although they are controlled by him, but it is enough to break the enemy, why not let them attack? The leaders were furious, "One by one, the enemy leaders are all war exploits!" ”
The noise caught Li Kou's attention.
But he also ordered the proclamation: "If you don't fight, you will be defeated without fault; Fighting, even if you win, you are guilty, and you are careful to wait for a good head. ”
In the cottage, the homeless people are silent.
The officials detained in the backyard of the Zhizhai lobby were silent.
"There's a strange smell." Although the road was clear, he muttered in the evening of the next day.
Obviously it was a group of thieves who looked like moths fighting fire, why didn't Li Da kill them first by hitting the eggs with stones?
What is he waiting for?
When he was holding the lamp, Li Kou was patrolling the sentry on the mountain.
Sun An arrived with more than a dozen good men from the Beiyuan Military Village.
"What does the lord think?" Sun An asked face to face.
Li Kou did not answer.
Late at night, there was a fire in the village.
Sun An was ordered to suppress it, but found nothing.
"I'm afraid I'm not here to save the sentence, right?" It's normal for Sun An to have this thought.
Li Kou didn't answer again.
He also strictly ordered all heads of all walks of life to "not go to war."
At this moment, Zhi Keshi could see that Li Kou wanted to know the purpose of that group of people.
But is it that simple?
"Ordered Luda to lead a box army to support in the village," Zhi Keshi was tempted, "order someone to go to Jingzhou, and let Qu Jun lead the Jingzhou army and horses to ...... Wrong! ”
Zhe Keshi suddenly woke up.
Sun An also understood the situation.
Because he hadn't seen Zhu Wen for two days.
"Zhu Wen should have arrived in Jingzhou at this time, and the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou can only mobilize a little, and I don't know if Qu Jun is willing to listen to Zhu Wen's words." Li Kou looked down the mountain, but asked about the Beiyuan Military Village, "If there are three or five hundred people, can you break through Zhu Wu's defense?" ”
Sun An praised: "Ten times the number of men and horses in each outpost is difficult to break, and they maintain each other, even if there are thousands of people, they should also return, Zhu Wuzhen is worthy of the divine military division." ”
He looked around and quietly asked, "Chen Da Yang Chun, can you be a big man."
Li Kou said: "When Shaohua Mountain, these two people did not go to Huayin for several months, and they survived the method of retreating from Huayin County, and they were most ambushed in the mountains and forests, so they should be credible. ”
Sun An said: "I'm afraid that he will live up to the favor of the lord." ”
"There is no doubt about employing people." Li Kou didn't expect these two Shaohua Mountain kings to have such skills.
It's been almost three days, and they can hide from the thieves in the mountains and forests.
That's the real thing.
"They brought two archers." Li Kou said.
Sun An's eyes flickered, he wanted to reconnoiter how many thieves there were under the mountain.
"No, a hundred at most." Li Kou is very sure.
Pan Yuan is a spy, there are thieves in Nanshan, and the government is calm, so is this group of thieves too blatant?
If something is wrong, there must be a plan.
What's more, letting Qu Jun go deep into Jingzhou may not be going to Qu Jun.
Sun An wanted to retire, but he listened to Li Kou's instructions to sneak out of the mountain tonight with a dozen good hands: "You don't have to kill it, burn the grain and straw with a fire, and rush back immediately." ”
After Li Kou finished speaking, he went down the mountain.
Sun An was still puzzled.
"The Lord must have something to worry about." Sun An could see that Li Kou was not just a good time.
He still has gloom.
And what?
As soon as Li Kou fell asleep, the sound of horses' hooves woke him up.
At this time, the fire of the thief army camp under Nanshan had just started.
Sun An succeeded.
However, Tong Guan's messenger also arrived.
What Tong Guan sent was the news that Li Kou was waiting for.
"The granary of Jingzhao Mansion is out of water, and Mrs. Tong wants to ask if the potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn planted in Beiyuan can be spread out in Kansai immediately." As soon as Zhou Ang landed, he asked in a loud voice.
Grain!
Li Kou immediately thought of two things.
The case of setting fire to the granary himself.
This is one of them.
Second, Xiaomei said that there was a group of Jin merchants in the late Ming Dynasty......
"So, the western thieves are creating a war in Weizhou, but one of them infiltrated Jingzhao Mansion and burned down the granary of Jingzhao Mansion?" Thinking of something else, Li Kou asked simply.
Zhou Ang's answer was yes.
That's exactly how Tong Guan judged.
But, is it accurate?
