Lintao, the capital of Linzhou, known as Di Dao in ancient times, was founded in the eighteenth year of King Zhou An (384 BC), Qin Xian Gong destroyed the Xirong tribe Di and Huan, established Di Dao, Huan Dao two counties, all the later dynasties took Di Dao as the county name, to the eighth year of Tang Wude, Gaozu ordered Di Dao to be upgraded to Linzhou, and governed Di, Heng, Daxia, Di Dao four counties, the governance office is still located in Di Dao, and the name of the county remains unchanged. In the second year of Qianfeng, after Gaozong Feng Zen Taishan returned to Beijing, he issued an edict to rebuild the ancestral temple and ancestral house, on the occasion of the edict, the name of the county of Di Dao was suspected of being barbaric, and he did not like it, and he did not intend to change the name for it, but muttered a few words, when Li Xian happened to be on the side, he said that Di Dao was both Lintao water, if it was not taken directly as Lintao, Gaozong Yuezhi, with a stroke of the pen, the ancient city of Di Dao was like this, and it was renamed Lintao more than 1,200 years in advance, which may also be regarded as Li Xian's work of crossing.

临洮南北狭长,地势由东南向西北倾斜，地形复杂，沟谷河流众多，为扼守陇蜀之战略要冲，又称兰州之南大门，历朝历代皆以重兵屯于此地，以震慑诸羌，大唐自也不例外，在临洮县中共屯有军兵三千余，兵力说起来不算少了，可因着周边地形地势之复杂，以及大小部族众多之故，也就只能勉强确保城防之稳固，至于城外的广袤地带，则实无法兼顾，以致盗匪横行， Many tribes are independent, not subject to the king, is one of the most chaotic places on the Silk Road, not only the largest bandit in Hexi "Black Wind Bandits" is entrenched here, the largest tribe in Hexi - the Dangxiang clan Fangdang tribe is also rooted in Lintao, every day the fighting in the wilderness outside the city has never stopped, either the tribes are fighting endlessly, or the bandits plundered the caravan in the past, the garrison is overwhelmed, and it can only be resigned, as long as this gang of barbarians does not extend the war to the city, The defenders have always taken the initiative to pay attention to the chaos outside the city, and the law and order situation in the whole territory of Linzhou can only be described as extremely poor.

The chaos in Linzhou is the norm, the calm is abnormal, it is a rare thing to the extreme, at least for Li Xuanning, the assassin of Linzhou, in his three-year tenure, the days when he did not receive a report can be said to be a handful, but this year since the Qingming Dynasty, Li Xuanning has miraculously been idle, and for more than ten days in a row, there has been no case, whether it is in the city or outside the city, this kind of undocumented labor is very comfortable, Li Xuanning's first reaction is naturally overjoyed, but the time is long, I felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly sent many scouts to inquire about the details, only to suddenly find out that the "tribal alliance" of Lao Mozi was actually going to be held under his nose, and he was shocked, and the three souls almost lost two - what is the tribal alliance, it is nothing more than a synonym for gathering people to rebel, if this Lao Mozi's thing is born under his own rule, no matter how big or small the fork is, Li Xuanning, who is a stabbing history, will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being sensitive. It's not impossible to make trouble, so it's not impossible to lose your head.

It is a matter of his own net worth and life, it is natural to be anxious, since he got the accurate news, Li Xuanning has been so anxious that he has not eaten a bite of food for three days, and the stakes are very important, and he does not dare to make claims, in addition to sending sentry agents to continue to follow up on this matter, he can only send a few reports to Lanzhou a day, counting on the Dadu Governor's Mansion to give a clear instruction for action, but all the messengers sent have not returned, and even a message has not been sent back, but Li Xuanning is worried, and he is not a long sigh every day. It was an excuse to attack people, no, just ordered tea, but it was too hot, and scolded the servant who served the tea to a bloody head, and was angry with himself, but he saw a servant rushing in from outside with a panicked face, which made Li Xuanning angry, and his eyes were about to fall out of his socket.

"Bastard thing, what are you running, are you in a hurry to be reincarnated? Master, I'll fulfill you! ”

Li Xuanning's heart was on fire, and when he saw the official in a panic, the disgust in his heart rose suddenly, and he didn't wait for the official to say something, and he opened his mouth and reprimanded angrily.

"Ah, no, no, great, great, great, big,

The officer who rushed to run was in a hurry, and he didn't even have a good breath, so he was scolded by Li Xuanning like this, and his heart couldn't help but be empty, and in a hurry, he stammered, but fortunately, the meaning was expressed.

"What? Why don't you report early? Idiot, stunned, don't invite me soon, waste, what do you want! ”

As soon as he heard that someone from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion had finally come, Li Xuanning's heart was immediately relieved, but when he saw the official who was stunned and panting there, Li Xuanning's anger immediately surged up in his heart again, and he stomped his feet hatefully and scolded angrily.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes......"

It was Li Xuanning who said that people were in a hurry, and it was he who didn't report the news earlier, which didn't let people live, and the unlucky official was so aggrieved that he almost wanted to cry out loud, but he was facing his own boss, even if there were more grievances, there was nowhere to reason, in addition to making promises one after another, he could only honestly turn around and rush out of the house.

", what are you still standing and doing, waiting to see the show, huh?"

Worried about the "Great Tribal Alliance", Li Xuanning couldn't calm down, he really couldn't sit still, he walked back and forth in the hall angrily, and suddenly saw that the servant who had been scolded before was standing aside with his head down, and his mood was not going well, so he glared at it, and scolded angrily, but he didn't notice that a tall young man dressed in the service of a merchant had walked up to the hall accompanied by the previous official.

"Is Master Li so angry?"

As soon as he saw Li Xuanning having a seizure there, the brows of the person who came couldn't help frowning slightly, and he snorted with displeasure.

"You ......"

Li Xuanning was on fire, and when he heard that someone dared to ridicule himself to his face, he was furious, turned his head in annoyance, and opened his mouth to scold, but as soon as he saw the face of the person who came, the scolding words immediately stopped, his eyes widened with disbelief, and he launched a stupid attack.

"So what?"

The person who came looked at Li Xuanning with a smile and opened his mouth unceremoniously.

"Temple, Temple......"

Li Xuanning was startled, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously, and finally determined that the person standing in front of him was the top boss Li Xian, the governor of Hexi, his legs and feet couldn't help but weaken, and he couldn't say a complete sentence.

Hey, no wonder Zhang Cambodia said that this guy is a mediocre person, and that's true! Li Xian's contact with Li Xuanning is not much, that is, he has met a few times, generally speaking, there are many official answers, and he has not talked about it in detail, his impression of it is just average, not a good impression, and there is no bad feeling, but Zhang Cambodia is in contact with Li Xuanning because of the practice of presiding over the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the evaluation given to him is really not high, just a "reluctantly", Li Xian originally had the intention to replace this person, but he was not free, this time seeing his performance so poor, the determination to change horses was a little stronger, of course, If you really want to start, then you have to wait for this matter before it is possible, as for this time, Li Xian is really too lazy to see it in general, just pressed his hand, stopped Li Xuanning's words of revealing his identity in public, and then calmly arched his hand and said: "A certain person came to summon him on the order of the Grand Governor, and asked Master Li to retreat." ”

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, all stand down, stand down!"

As soon as he heard Li Xian's words, Li Xuanning finally came back to his senses, responded to his promise in a panic, waved his hand indiscriminately, and drove all the servants and officials who were waiting in the hall out of the hall.

"The lower officials see His Royal Highness, I don't know that His Royal Highness has arrived, and the lower officials have missed the welcome, and I also ask Your Highness Haihan to have one."

Although Li Xuanning is a mediocre talent, he may be in a high position in the history of assassination, and he will not be a stupid person, in order to make up for the previous loss of etiquette, he is very courteous and courteous, and when he can wait for people to go, it will immediately be a big salute.

"It's okay, this trip is a sneak walk in plain clothes, and I blame Li for stabbing history, just calm down."

Although Li Xian's heart to change horses was firm, he would never show the slightest tone at this time, but after gently comforting Li Xuanning, he slowly walked to the back of a few sons and sat down.

"His Royal Highness Xie is tolerant, the lower officials have found out that the tribes want to gather people to do bad things, and have successively sent more than a dozen reports to Lanzhou, but they have never heard back, the lower officials are so anxious that they have lost their normality, fortunately, His Royal Highness has arrived, and the lower officials have the backbone, how to act, and please show His Royal Highness, the lower officials should be safe!"

Although Li Xian said that he was not surprised, Li Xuanning did not dare to feel at ease, so when he revealed the truth, he tried his best to justify his perverse behavior.

"Well, Lord Li can realize the heart of the country, don't hide it from Lord Li, Lone is here for this, and all kinds of matters still require Lord Li's full cooperation."

Li Xian is a full acting school, if he doesn't want people to see the clues, then no one can see what he thinks in his heart, even if Li Xian has actually given up on Li Xuanning at this time, but in his words, he does not hesitate to praise him, as if he really values Li Xuanning very much.

"Your Highness can rest assured, but there is an order, even if the official dies, he will not dare to resign, and he will live up to His Highness's trust!"

As soon as Li Xuanning heard that there was a chance to stammer Li Xian, how could he be unhappy, Li Xian's voice had just fallen, and he couldn't wait to express his attitude.

"Okay, don't talk too much, you ...... alone"

The official oil is the official oil after all, Li Xuanning only cares about patting his chest to make a guarantee, but he doesn't ask whether he is competent for this task or not, as soon as this kind of work comes out, the dissatisfaction in Li Xian's heart immediately became a little stronger, but the matter is urgent, and it is impossible to change the general, even if he is reluctant, Li Xian can only use his people first, so he will tell Li Xuanning what he has done one by one, and the light in Li Xuanning's eyes flashed wildly......
