"In addition, if you look at it again, each of them has a serious expression, and they don't even communicate too much with each other, but in terms of their location, there are almost no dead spots around Luocang within sight, if it weren't for the tall barren grass and shrubs here, I think we would have been discovered a long time ago!"

After hearing this, Li Zhen and the others were all convinced, the veteran is worthy of being a veteran, and if it were himself, it would never be possible to observe and speculate so carefully. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"So these people ......"

"There is no doubt that they will be county soldiers, and they will be all elite!" Without waiting for Li Zhen to finish speaking, the veteran of Shence on the side said categorically.

"Hehe, but they also seem to have some omissions, if they are subordinates, the first thing they do after occupying Luocang is to burn the weeds and shrubs within a radius of dozens of miles, so that the enemy will not have a chance to probe at close range!" The veteran smirked.

"Can you deduce where they came from? In other words, where are the county soldiers? Li Zhen then asked.

After hearing this, the veteran's face looked a little embarrassed, and he smiled embarrassedly: "This, the subordinates have no way to deduce!" Several feudal towns within the jurisdiction of Henan Province are not far from each other, so it is too difficult to deduce from habits and appearance alone! ”

Li Zhen nodded, and asked again: "Judging from your experience, how long will it take to attack here from outside with 10,000 people?" ”

The veteran thought for a while and said, "If there is something to help with the siege, it will take at least three days, and if not, I am afraid that it will not be able to be captured in ten days!" ”

But then he only listened to him and then said: "But according to the subordinates, the people here didn't use siege things when they attacked Luocang!" There are two reasons, one is that the city wall is intact as the deputy envoy said, and the other is that there is no lodging phenomenon on the barren grass standing upright, and there are no ruts on the ground for siege vehicles! ”

"Well, then we can almost conclude that there must be an enemy in Luocang!" Zheng Zheng then said.

But after thinking about it, Li Zhen added: "There is another possibility, that is, the defenders of Luocang are familiar with the rebels, and they lost their guard and opened the city gate by themselves!" ”

......

After the group returned to Gongxian, they immediately reported to Zheng Ya what they had seen in Luocang, and the matter had come to this point, Luocang became a fake rebel and it was true, Wang Ning suggested that he immediately ask for an order to transfer troops to quell the chaos, but Zheng Ya was opposed.

In fact, the reason is very simple, it is easy to transfer troops, but where to transfer soldiers is a problem that cannot be ignored, and at present, the soldiers and horses in Henan are suspected, so that only the Shence forbidden army comes, and who will they fight after the Shence army arrives? Of course, Luocang is bound to be recaptured, and then what? Do you want to fight all the soldiers and horses in Henan?

Therefore, Zheng Ya means that it is necessary to tell the truth to the imperial court, but before finding out the source of the rebellion, you must not move the army, otherwise it will only startle the snake, and if you provoke the rebels to burn Luocang cleanly, this errand will be completely messed up, and the demotion of officials is a trivial matter, and it is very likely that the head will not be guaranteed.

So then the question arises, how to find out the law? You can't go to Henan Province one by one to question the envoys of the various sections.

At this time, Li Zhen thought for a while and said, "I think now I have to meet someone!" ”

"Who?" Zheng Ya asked.

......

Luoyang.

Li Zhen stood in front of the door of a mansion and stopped, his heart couldn't help but feel a little sentimental, the mansion was not big, at least compared with the mansion he saw in Jiangling Mansion, it was very different.

Not to mention the lack of flags in front of the door, even the main gate is nearly twice as small, who would have thought that this almost dilapidated house was the residence of a generation of powerful ministers who used to be under one person and above ten thousand people?

Li Zhen sighed lightly in his heart, and then detoured to the side door and lightly buckled the door knocker.

"My husband is not a guest, please go back!" An old man's voice came from inside the door.

Li Zhen naturally heard the voice of Manager Zhang in Li Deyu's Mansion, and immediately bowed down and said: "Boy Li Zhen, I have come to meet Gong Wen Rao, and I hope that Manager Zhang will say it!" ”

After the door opened, an old man appeared in front of Li Zhen.

"Manager Zhang, don't come to harm!" Li Zhen hurriedly saluted and smiled.

Manager Zhang obviously didn't expect that the person who came was Li Zhen, maybe it was an old acquaintance, or maybe he felt aggrieved for Li Deyu, and the moment he saw Li Zhen, the old man who was over fifty years old burst into tears instantly.

Seeing Mr. Zhang's tears, Li Zhen's heart couldn't help but feel sad, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

"Hehe, let Shao Langjun smile, and the old man will take you to see Langjun!" Mr. Zhang wiped the tears from his face and apologized again and again.

Li Zhen immediately said to the five Shence veterans behind him: "You guys are guarding here, no one is allowed to enter!" ”

After coming to a side hall, Manager Zhang whispered outside the door: "Lang Jun, guess who is coming?" ”

After a long time, the people in the house said slowly: "Li family man, what are you still doing in a daze, come in quickly!" ”

Li Zhen immediately pushed the door in, just about to give a salute, but he looked up and was stunned, if he wasn't here, Li Zhen would not believe that the withered old man in front of him was Li Deyu, the old man who was fishing by the stream, the Jingnan Jiedu envoy who was planning for a rainy day in Jiangling Mansion, and the generation of powerful ministers who turned the tide in Wuzong's dynasty.

"Boy, meet Gong Wen Rao!" Li Zhen endured his grief and bowed.

At this time, Li Deyu looked more than a full circle of weight, his cheekbones were towering, his bones were craggy, and his original eyes became extremely cloudy, making the whole person lifeless and lifeless.

Seeing Li Zhen enter the door, Li Deyu got up and forced out an ugly smile, and then walked up to Li Zhen and helped him up, his eyes full of approval.

"Hehe, I heard that you came to the Eastern Capital as a deputy inspector, and the old man knew that you would definitely come to see my old bones!" Li Deyu said with a smile and pressed Li Zhen on a low case with his own hands.

Li Zhen smiled and said, "The kid doesn't dare to be rude in front of you, let's sit here!" With that, Li Zhen got up and sat down on top of a futon.

"How can there be so many courtesies here in the old man!" Li Deyu looked very happy, at least on the surface, and the axe-like wrinkles on his face also stretched a lot.

Without waiting for Li Zhen to speak, Li Deyu then smiled and said: "I'm afraid it's not just as simple as visiting the old man this time!" ”

Li Zhen's face was a little embarrassed, and he smiled and said, "After all, the kid's affairs can't be hidden from your old pair of discerning eyes!" ”

Li Deyu waved his hand and smiled: "Where is there any insight, if you want to say wisdom, it is here!" As he spoke, Li Deyu pointed to the position of his heart.

"Now that your identity has changed, this place should also change, there are some things that you can't do, and some things that you can't do, you are the eldest son of the emperor, and there are some things you must consider in the future!"

Li Zhen's face changed slightly when he heard this, he knew what Li Deyu was referring to, but he really didn't have much ambition for this kind of thing, and he was about to speak, but he saw Li Deyu say again: "If the old man guessed correctly, Your Majesty already has the heart to make you a reserve!" ”
