Chapter 332: Surrounded by wolves

Li Su is too young, as young as a hairy child who is not familiar with the world, should be the age of "riding a horse and leaning on the bridge, full of red sleeves", and also the age of "apricot blossoms blowing all over the head, who is young and full of romance".

Speaking of which, Li Su should carry a large piece of silver cake in his arms at this age, buy drunk prostitutes with his fox friends and dog friends in Qinglou, and waste his youth, this is Li Su's correct painting style. Instead of leading a thousand-person cavalry through the thousands of miles of desert, carrying the will of His Majesty the Emperor and the transfer documents of Shangshu Province to run to this desert desert as an official, this picture ...... It's really disagreeable.

Cao Yu looked at Li Su and was stunned for a long time, until Li Su coughed lightly in impatience twice, and Cao Yu came back to his senses.

"Haha, since ancient times, heroes have been young people, and now I see Li Bei's young and romantic, and the official is sure of this sentence." Cao Yu laughed, which can be regarded as revealing the gaffe just now.

"Cao Thorn Shi praised, and the lower officials really didn't dare to be it." Li Su smiled humbly.

Cao Yu stared at him, and said with a smile: "Xizhou is located in the border, and there is no news with the outside world, but this official and Chang'an colleagues and friends often have correspondence, to Li Beijia's reputation, this official has been famous for a long time, Li Beijia is young and ambitious, this year has done a lot of great things, for my Tang Sheji has made great contributions, enough to go down in history, Your Majesty values Li Beijia's talent, and appoints you to Xizhou, which is really a blessing for the officials and people of Xizhou, and this official is very honored." ”

Li Su was a little dazed by Cao Yu's praise, and smiled more and more humblely: "Xiaguan is young and ignorant, he has done a lot of ridiculous things in Chang'an, and he has also caused a lot of trouble. ”

Cao Yu laughed twice, suddenly clapped his hands, and shouted at the corridor outside the door: "Someone!" ”

Li Su's eyelids jumped, and a layer of cold sweat broke out behind his back.

This section is too familiar. Countless big people throughout the ages are so virtuous, chatting well suddenly turned their faces, and then ambushed under the porch of the door five hundred knife and axe men rushed in to chop the guests into meat sauce, and I don't know why the ancient and modern big men like to use knives and axes, and the number must be five hundred, no one is missing. One less piece of meat is not enough to chop up......

And at this moment, Cao Yu shouted violently, and Li Su's face suddenly changed.

Originally, he felt that Xizhou did not welcome his arrival, Li Su was very suspicious and defensive these days, but now Cao Yu's loud cry made Li Su's vigilance rise to the top. If Cao Yu called someone to come in and chop him up now, in fact, ...... is also very reasonable, pushing others with himself, Li Suruo looks at who is not pleasing to the eye. I can't wait to chop him in minutes.

Fortunately, Cao Yu's character was a little higher than Li Su's, and as soon as the words fell, what appeared outside the door was not a knife and axe hand, but a domestic servant.

Cao Yu smiled slightly, and instructed the servant: "Today's distinguished guests are coming to the door, and the mansion will prepare a banquet." ”

Li Sudun was stunned, and felt that he had that kind of heart and that kind of belly.

Datang, whether it is officialdom or powerful, seems to have such a bad problem. No matter what happens, it is a sentence of "preparing for a feast", and there is no feast and no joy. This problem is very stubborn, and it has not been changed until a thousand years later.

The feast of the Thorn Mansion was not too rich, with a pot of stewed chicken, a pot of stewed mutton, and ...... on the low table Another pot of lamb stew.

It's all stewed and pale in color. The smell was tangy, Li Su only glanced at it and poured his appetite, and he couldn't eat a bite.

The wine is made from grapes in the Western Regions, and Li Su took a sip, but still felt that the taste was wrong. In Chang'an, I often bite gold in Cheng, Niu Jinda these veterans eat and drink, all kinds of precious food and wine in the world have been tasted, Li Su himself has also brewed a popular five-step pour in Chang'an, and now Cao Yu uses to entertain the grapes, but he can't really enter Li Su's eyes.

Reluctantly drank a few drinks with Cao Yu, and the two began to greet each other endlessly.

There was a lot of nonsense in the officialdom of all dynasties, and after the banquet lasted for half an hour, Li Sucai got to the point and asked about the situation in Xizhou.

Cao Yu's smile gradually retracted, and he changed to a worried look, pondering for a long time before he said slowly: "Li Beijia is new to Xizhou, and he may not be very familiar with Xizhou. ”

Li Su leaned forward slightly: "I don't know which eight words?" ”

Cao Yu looked at Li Su and said word by word: "The wolves are waiting, and they are in danger!" ”

Li Su's eyelids jumped a few times, and he drank a glass of wine with a smile.

Cao Yu stared at him and smiled: "Don't believe it? ”

Li Su thought for a while and said, "It doesn't matter whether the lower officials believe it or not, the lower officials are willing to hear the details." ”

Cao Yu suddenly raised his voice and said, "Come on, take the map!" ”

The servant quickly held up a sheepskin map and slowly unfolded it.

"Li Beijia, please come forward, please take a look......" Cao Yu called Li Su to the front, and the two were side by side, Li Su stared at Cao Yu's fingers, slowly moving in the direction of his fingers.

"Here, is our Xizhou, four hundred miles to the north is Tingzhou, under the control of the Turks, eight hundred miles to the west is Qiuci, Qiuci since the Sui, to my Tang Dynasty increasingly alienated, often colluded with the Turks, robbing the merchants on the Silk Road, the millennium Silk Road, in recent years due to bandits raging and almost cut off, business travel is not good, the road is blocked, since Zhenguan six years after His Majesty broke the Eastern Turks, this Silk Road is not very peaceful, the Turks have always been hostile to my Tang Dynasty, in recent years after the Tang Dynasty occupied Xizhou, Gaochang, Qiuci, Yanqi, In addition, the former Loulan Kingdom in the south perished due to lack of water and salt, and the Tubo people took advantage of the weakness to enter, looking from the south to the north, eyeing our Tang Dynasty......"

Cao Yu sighed and said: "Now my Xizhou is in such a situation surrounded by wolves, after the beginning of spring this year, the surrounding Gaochang, Yanqi, Qiuzi and other neighboring countries heard that my Tang Emperor wants to personally conquer Xue Yantuo, the three provinces of the Tang Dynasty dispatched troops from all over the Tang Dynasty, and the heavy troops were pressed on the northern border, and the western troops gradually became thin, these neighbors suddenly started to think, after the beginning of the spring, there have been signs of instability, often turned into a small group of bandits to loot my Xizhou Township County, today I came back from Jiaohe County, it is because there are bandits there, in fact...... Where are they bandits, it is clear that the armies of the neighboring countries such as Turkic, Qiuzi, and Gaochang are made up, are they really confused? ”

Li Su pondered for a moment, then arched his hand and asked, "Dare to ask Cao Tingshi, how is my Xizhou's military equipment and combat strength?" There is also a city defense ......"

Speaking of which, Li Su couldn't go on anymore.

What kind of city defense is like, Li Su saw it when he entered the city, it is just a circle of low earthen walls, this kind of earthen wall is a typical anti-gentleman and not anti-villain, and the Western Regions Turks, Gaochang, Qiuzi and other neighboring countries, judging from their urine, and the word "gentleman" is never touched.
