Chapter 379: Mountain Rain is Coming
Late at night, there is no moon, and everything is quiet.
In the dark night, a thin figure emerged from the low rammed earth city wall in Xizhou, first carefully glanced at the dark desert outside the city for a moment, and then turned his head to look at the direction of the cavalry camp outside the city, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after finding that there was no movement, and then carefully climbed over the city wall, stepping on the long-weathered potholes on the rammed earth city wall, and climbed down very easily.
After descending the city wall, the figure was very cautiously prostrate on the sand, motionless, even if it was a few feet away, it was impossible to see the truth in the darkness, like a stone that had existed since ancient times.
The figure was very patient, lying on the sand for a long time, finally making sure that it was safe, and then got up and ran quickly towards the end of the desert.
A moment later, two men stepped out of the shadows on the east side of the city wall, looking at the figure running wildly in the distance, and watched him away in silence.
"Don't be smart, Na Yan really can't hold his breath, and sent someone out of the city to deliver the news." Jiang Quan squinted.
Li Su smiled and said, "Actually, Na Yan is already very calm, and he endured it for a few months before sending someone out, this person is more patient than I imagined, and he is worthy of being an old fox entrusted with a heavy task by the Minister of Qiuzi State." ”
Jiang Quan was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "How can Li Beijia see that Na Yan will send someone out of the city tonight?" ”
"Ah, that's a long story, last night I had a dream, I dreamed that a white-bearded old man smiled at me, I asked him what to laugh at, he didn't say anything, just smiled, laughed so much that he thought it was unfathomable, and then I got impatient, you know, young people, the temper is inevitably not very good, especially in dreams, so I got angry. I stepped forward and grabbed his white beard and slapped him hard, and then, the beardless old man who was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face told me that Na Yan would definitely ...... tonight."
Jiang Quan's face became ugly, and he had a patient expression: "Don't drive Li...... Don't make a fuss! Can we talk well? ”
"Boring!" Li Su pointed at him happily, and by the way concluded his life: "You are too old-fashioned. In this life, I can marry my mother-in-law, and my ancestors have accumulated virtue and burned high incense. ”
Jiang Quan secretly rolled his eyes: "The last general's family not only has an aunt, but also four concubines. ”
"It's really hard...... I mean your aunt and four concubines. ”
"Lie Don't Drive ......"
"Okay, okay, let's get down to ......business," Li Su sighed: "In just a few months, Xizhou City has changed, and people with discernment should know that Xizhou will soon become the most dazzling city in the desert, which can not only attract the covetousness of the countries of the Western Regions, but also attract the attention of the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers, then." The city that was originally like a treasure for the countries of the Western Regions will still be so easy now? I believe that it won't be long before the Tang Dynasty Hall will make a move, and Na Yan has seen with his own eyes what changes Xizhou has undergone these days, how can he sit still? ”
The corners of Li Su's mouth hooked up a strange smile, and then said, "...... Especially, after I issued a decree yesterday to move half of the people in the six counties under the jurisdiction of Xizhou into the city. Then Yan will not be able to sit still, these changes. He must truthfully report to the Prime Minister of the Guizi Kingdom, otherwise he will be derelict in his duty. ”
Jiang Quan nodded convincingly, and then said, "Since Li Bei expected that Na Yan would send someone out of the city, why didn't he stop him?" ”
Li Su pointed to the rammed earth city wall around him, and said with a wry smile: "Look at this city wall, who can it stop?" It is easy to be a thief in a thousand days. It is difficult to prevent thieves for a thousand days, those who should come will always come, and those who should go can't be stopped. ”
"The last general is strange. Why didn't Nayan run out of the city to report the news himself? ”
Li Su said with a smile: "Anyone in this city can run, but that Yan can't, if he dares to take a step out of the city gate, I will chop him, I know this, and I know it better." ”
Jiang Quan nodded as if he didn't understand, still looking confused.
The night was deeper, Li Su yawned, stretched, and said, "Let's go, hurry back to the camp and sleep, if you are still tossing outside so late, you will have acne on your face, if your face is ruined, what is the point of holding Xizhou?" ”
“…………”
The two walked a few steps, Li Su suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Jiang Quan, in the dark night, Li Su's eyes reflected a few points of starlight.
"General Jiang, starting tomorrow, recruit middle-aged men from the people in the city, and practice non-stop every day, as many as you can recruit."
Jiang Quan was taken aback: "Why? ”
Li Su sighed, looked up at the stars in the night sky, and said, "...... If I'm not mistaken, Xizhou will not be peaceful soon, so let's prepare to meet the enemy. ”
****************************************************************
Li Su always felt that he was racing against time, and he lost.
Since the murder of Liwei, Li Su's sense of crisis has become more and more intense, so he has arranged the deployment non-stop, and has been moving frequently for several months, hurriedly laying out a series of bureaus in Xizhou, and finally making some changes in Xizhou with great effort.
However, everything is still too hasty, and we are about to face a ferocious enemy, can we hold back the tide of enemy forces with only this small change in Xizhou?
What's more, the interior of Xizhou City has not been cleaned up, and there are still many internal troubles left, and Li Su has many questions in his heart that have not been solved, and these questions may affect the life and death of Xizhou City.
For example, these days, Li Su has basically taken over the power of Xizhou, and Cao Yu has almost been set up by him, no matter what suggestion Li Su makes, Cao Yu agrees without saying a word, the happier Cao Yu is, the more uneasy Li Su becomes.
In the impression, only people who owe money will be so easy-going when they see the creditor, Li Su is becoming more and more uneasy, and there is always a feeling of killing step by step.
Secondly, Qian Fuzi once said that Xizhou had been attacked by foreign enemies, the scale was not large, but it was also dangerous, every time it came to the moment of life and death in the city, two cavalry would emerge just right, one left and one right from the flank, to repel the enemy, on the surface, these two Turkic cavalry should be friends and not enemies, but, after all, they are two mysterious armies of unknown origin, and if they do not find out their details and motives for helping Xizhou defend the city, Li Sushi is really uncomfortable.
The last thing that is difficult to sleep and eat, the military power of the two Zhichong Mansions in Xizhou, Li Su has not yet grasped it in his own hands.
Li Su is not a person who likes power, on the contrary, he is very disgusted with others shoehorning too much power into him, because power represents responsibility, and responsibility is carried on his body, which will not make him too idle after all, and Li Su hates to be busy.
But in this place of Xizhou, not only are there external enemies, but there are countless people inside who are eyeing him, and Li Su is very insecure when he lives in such an environment.
When money can no longer make him feel safe, the only thing left is to seize the military power.
