Chapter 394: The Truth Comes Out

At this moment today, Li Sufang knows what Cao Yu has done in Xizhou in the past few years.

From the first day of his appointment to Xizhou, the civil and military generals in the city were hostile to their exclusion, Cao Yu's various constraints, the atmosphere in the city was depressed and depressed, the passing merchants did not dare to stop, and every critical moment, there was always a mysterious army and horses to fight out to solve the difficulties of Xizhou, etc., all the mysteries were finally completely solved.

The water in Xizhou is not only deep, but also turbid, and today a fierce man plunged into it, and finally knew how deep and turbid the water was.

After knowing the truth, Li Su didn't say anything for a long time, and Jiang Quan also looked at Battle blankly, and the two of them looked very solemn.

There is no doubt that Li Su dug up a shocking case, this matter played Chang'an, Li Shimin will never let Cao Yu go, Xizhou's civil and military generals are estimated to kill a large number of people, and even the Tang Dynasty's strategic layout of the west will have to make a big adjustment because of this big case in Xizhou, because Xizhou is in essence, it is no longer the Xizhou of the Tang Dynasty, but Cao Yu's Xizhou, privately harsh on heavy taxes, privately hire foreign troops, and collude with the Assassin Mansion, Cao Yu covers the sky with one hand, if this city is not changed from top to bottom, Li Shimin is out of control.

"Brother Qian, what did you say...... There won't be a fake, right? Don't forget that you are still in my hands, if I find out that you have told half a lie, I can't bear to tell you what will happen to you......" Li Su stared at Battle, but his face was smiling brightly.

Battle was obviously very dissatisfied with this title, and he didn't dare to get angry, so he had to snort heavily, and said: "I, Battle, am also a man who stands up to the sky, and only you Tang can do it, and we men on the grassland disdain it!" ”

Syllable!

Zheng Xiaolou made another fierce counter-pump, which made Battle scream like a pig.

Li Su nodded approvingly at Zheng Xiaolou, since he has become a prisoner, he must have the consciousness and attitude of a prisoner, Li Su also squatted in the prison of Dali Temple at the beginning. He never ...... back then

Well, he is an exception, although he has squatted in Dali Temple twice, he has enjoyed the treatment of diamond VIPs, and the jailers of the entire Dali Temple have bowed to him.

After pondering for a moment, Li Su asked, "A few months ago." A Turkic cavalry attacked the large camp outside our city, but it was empty, and the Turkic cavalry ...... That's you, right? ”

Battle hesitated, and hung his head silently.

Li Su nodded, well, not making a sound can be regarded as an answer, okay, another mystery has been solved.

Li Su thought for a while, and then asked, "Go back a few more days." When I left from Chang'an and went to Xizhou to take office, outside the Yumen Pass, not far from Shazhou City, there was also a Turkic cavalry of two or three hundred people who attacked our cavalry camp at night, and was later annihilated by our cavalry battalion, and that cavalry ...... You guys too, right? ”

Battle hung his head and remained silent, and Zheng Xiaolou behind him was unhappy. He snorted heavily.

Battle was taken aback, so he had to reply, "Not bad." It's all us...... Not long after you left Chang'an, Xizhou had received news that there was a special driver personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to come to Xizhou to take up his post, and this news caused tension in the entire Xizhou Assassin Mansion, and they did not want outsiders to discover the secrets of Xizhou, so Feng Sima ordered our Turkic cavalry to set off in the starry night. Go straight to Shazhou, if you can be wiped out in Shazhou, it is the best policy, as for the attack on the camp a few months ago, it is also our doing, because you Li Beijia has become stronger and stronger since taking office. Cao Jianshi has gradually lost control of Xizhou, so he must change the situation in Xizhou, Li Bei, you will either die or go back to Chang'an. ”

Li Su's expression remained unchanged, after solving the biggest mystery, all the problems that he couldn't figure out were solved at this moment, and he had guessed that it was inseparable from Cao Yu.

But Jiang Quan's face changed.

Yumen Pass was attacked, the moon was dark and the wind was high that night, he and the cavalry battalion soldiers under his command almost touched the Turkic road, if it were not for Li Su proposed to throw torches to illuminate the method, it was still unknown who won and who lost that night, and today I learned that the Turks who attacked the camp were actually sent by Cao Yu, Jiang Quan's face was suddenly blue, and his lungs were blown up.

"What a dog official, he dared to collude with foreign races, murdered court officials, and almost wiped out our army, and he will not rest with him today! Someoneβ€”" Jiang Quan yelled.

Li Su grabbed him and glared at him: "You can't run the account that should be settled, what are you anxious about?" ”

"Li Beijia, Cao Yu's dog miscellaneous has committed this great sin, and it is not an exaggeration for the nine clans to be punished, it doesn't matter if you don't ask about other things, it's only serious to chop this miscellaneous matter first!" Jiang Quan said angrily.

"I have my own measure, now you give me honesty! I still have something to ask. ”

Saying that, Li Su turned his head to look at Battle, and instantly changed to a terrible smile: "Brother Qian, I still have a question, I hope you will not hesitate to tell me." ”

Battle looked depressed, the lid was lifted, Xizhou saw a big change brewing, no matter how it changed, Xizhou was afraid that he would not give him any food and money from now on.

"Don't ask, I've stabbed out all the big things, what else can't I say......" Battle sighed.

Li Su pondered for a moment, then looked up at him and said slowly, "In addition to supporting your Baye Ancient Tribe, did Cao Yu also support other foreign tribes?" Or...... Collusion with other small countries in the Western Regions? ”

Battle thought for a moment and shook his head resolutely: "As far as I know, except for my Baye Ancient Division, Cao Yu should not have any other foreign races to support......"

A wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Battle said: "Xizhou has been heavily taxed in recent years, and the people in the city have been centrifuged, and many people have to move out of Xizhou, and the businessmen know that the officials in Xizhou are like tigers, and they dare not stop and stop, and the six counties under the jurisdiction of Xizhou have nothing to do, so the taxes in Xizhou are getting less and less year by year. At several critical moments in Xizhou, apart from the warriors of my Baye Ancient Division, there was no other tribe to relieve the siege of Xizhou. ”

Li Su stared at his face for a long time and nodded slowly.

It seems that it is right, it should be the truth, Cao Yu does not know how to develop people's livelihood at all, but he is struggling to support Xizhou from falling with internal friction, just like squeezing a sponge, every time a little water comes out, the water in the sponge will be less, so a vicious circle, he does not know how to let the sponge absorb more water, so Xizhou's taxes are getting higher and higher, and they are getting poorer and poorer, almost on the verge of collapse.

There was silence in the tent.

Li Su twisted his eyebrows and thought about something, Battle hung his head and said nothing, but Jiang Quan and Zheng Xiaolou stared at Li Su, as if waiting for him to give an order.

After thinking for a long time, Li Su said slowly: "Brother Qian, I can see that you are a man, although you screamed worse than anyone else when you were beaten, but I think you should still be a man......"

Battle suddenly showed an extremely aggrieved expression, and couldn't help but say: "I'm originally a man!" Is it wrong to scream miserably? You take this beating! The guy next to you who beat me was so ruthless, he wasn't a human at all, he was a brute! ”

Syllable!

A certain brute surnamed Zheng unceremoniously slapped him again.

Battle looked up to the sky and sighed, and tears welled up in his eyes for a moment of sadness.

This beast really doesn't know what gentleness is......

Li Su smiled and said: "Since you are a man, it doesn't hurt to beat you a few times, don't be so small-minded, what you just said, I believe it is true, Cao Yu used the people of Xizhou to feed you Turks is of course a big crime to kill your heads, but on the other hand, you Baye Gubu collected money from Xizhou and relieved the siege of Xizhou, strictly speaking, you are not wrong, let's go one yard and one yard ......"

Battle looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what Li Su was going to say next.

Then he saw that Li Su's face gradually became gloomy, and his tone became extremely cold: "I said just now that one yard is one yard, although you have meritorious service in guarding Xizhou, but you have robbed the merchants on the Silk Road over the years, killed people and sold goods, committed many crimes, and dared to attack my cavalry camp twice, these crimes, you probably can't escape these crimes." ”

Battle was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and sighed, "What are you going to do with me?" ”

Li Su didn't answer, but turned his head to Jiang Quan and said, "General Jiang ......"

"The last general!"

Li Su was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Gather the cavalry and horses, and then enter Xizhou City!" This time, it's time to settle the account, as for this cunning brother and the Turkic pawn, well, let's stay in the camp and take strict care of it first. ”

Battle was anxious: "You said that as long as I recruited, you would let my clan leave......"

Li Su blinked: "Did you just say that you men on the grassland stand up to the sky, but we Tang people often lie to people?" ”

Battle was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "It's ......"

Li Su patted him on the shoulder, and then showed a sad and guilty expression: "...... Brother Qian, your judgment is very correct. ”
