Although he also thought that there must be Korean spies in Luoyang City, when it was confirmed, it still caused Zhou Bian to be deeply worried. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info And this spy is really big, directly plotting against the idle generals in the DPRK, wanting to open the city gate in one fell swoop, and not afraid of dying. Well, it's not just a spy, it's a spy. There have been espionage activities at such an early age, should we also rebel against the South Korean generals? But then Zhou Bian shook his head, the current strength of the royal family is still not enough to convince others.

But fortunately, in the face of South Korean spies, the people of the royal family have not been easily hooked. But when he thought of Li Ding's flattering appearance just now, Zhou Bian smiled at the corner of his mouth, how could he be angry immediately? Li Ding's wife naturally weighed it repeatedly in his heart for a long time, perhaps after all, he still felt that the chances of winning against the royal family at this time were not great, and he could only make this one contribution in his life after voting in South Korea, and if he continued to follow the royal family, the future would be greater, so Li Ding finally decided to report it to the royal family.

Of course, in fact, Zhou Bian was not afraid that any general in the city would be rebelled, because the composition of the sergeants and pawns in the army was too complicated, and all the troops were mixed with the Cheng Zhou soldiers in the old days, the first batch of Luoyang soldiers, and the Luoyang soldiers recruited later, I believe that under the education of the royal family, these soldiers will not blindly obey the officers, and Zhou Bian also buried secret agents in the army, which are directly under the management of Li Yuan, who was placed in Luoyang in the past, so Zhou Bian is definitely not worried about the rebellion of the entire army.

But South Korea is really arrogant, such a grandiose day to plot against the royal generals, have they thought about it? At what cost does it cost to convince a commander that there is someone in the city who can call the shots? Also, if the rebellion is successful, then how to contact the Korean army outside the city, otherwise even if the city gate is opened, the Korean army fails to arrive in time, or does not believe that this is their own strategy succeeded, so what? It can be seen that the Korean secret agents in the city must have a way to contact the Korean army outside the city, so from this point of view, the problem is much more serious, such as the arrangement of the royal family's troops, such as the appearance and principle of the catapult, once it leaks out of the city, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Zhou Bian, who was on the way back to the palace, was suddenly shocked again, and immediately pulled the curtain, summoned Zhou Mi, and asked him to send someone to call Ning Yue and Jiang Ping.

Soon after returning to the palace, before he sat down to eat, he got the news that several people had entered the palace.

The first to come was Ning Yue and Jiang Ping, after the monarchs and ministers in the front hall sat down, Zhou Bian immediately said the matter, and immediately frightened the two of them into a cold sweat, the Han army spies mixed into the city, one was in charge of the city's movements, and the other was in charge of intelligence, but the two didn't know, and hurriedly bowed down to confess. Knowing that this was a lack of manpower, Zhou Bian pacified the two of them and ordered them to strengthen their efforts, especially to pay attention to the restless people who were scurrying around, in case anyone came into contact with other generals.

The three of them were talking about countermeasures, and saw Fan Yu and Li Ding coming back.

Unexpectedly, the two of them were depressed, and when they asked, they realized that none of the descendants of Li Ding's family had stopped looking, and they actually asked the Korean to commit suicide by hitting the wall. Fan Yu was too fine, carried the body back, and placed it in a courtyard outside the palace.

I wanted to find out all the Korean spies hidden in the city from this person, but I didn't expect to pounce. shook his head helplessly, Zhou Bian had to comfort Li Ding for a few words, and praised him a few words before sending him away. Although Li Ding made a meritorious contribution this time, Zhou Bian still did not want to restore his military power immediately, this kind of arrogant person, it is better to beat it, thinking that Li Ding is witty, he should understand it in his heart.

After Li Ding left, Ning Yue came up with an idea, let his subordinates take the corpse of the Korean secret spy and go around the city, so that everyone could come and see, maybe someone who knew him could know where he lived and who he stayed with.

This idea is not bad, but it is a bit of fanfare, I am afraid that it will soon alarm the remaining Korean spies, and after discussing it with a few people, but they can't think of any other way, so it can only be like this, anyway, it is not a bad thing to alarm the remaining Korean spies, it will force them to dare not show their faces in public again, and it also puts pressure on the nobles and other generals in the city to dare not contact such people again.

Without further ado, in the afternoon, a team of people from the Supervision Division appeared on the streets of Luoyang, banging on the gong and walking all the way, followed by a carriage, without any shelter on the carriage, and the body of a young man lay flat, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone on both sides of the street.

And there are also explanations from the personnel of the Supervision Department on the side, which greatly satisfies everyone's curiosity. And when he heard that this was a South Korean spy and wanted to persuade the general in the city to rebel, he was immediately despised by everyone on the street, and even smashed the debris in his hand at the corpse, and even spit on it, which shows how much the people of Luoyang hate the Korean army who came to attack.

As a result, guarding the corpse and preventing it from being smashed has become a headache for the personnel of the Supervision Department. At the same time, the inspectors had to ask people if they had seen the person in order to try to find out about the person.

Of course, as careful as Ning Yue, he naturally arranged a pair of people to disguise themselves as civilians and mix in the crowd of onlookers, staring at the surroundings to see if there were any people who behaved abnormally, because they saw the corpses of their companions being revealed, and most of the remaining spies would be a little flustered, at a loss, or something, and they should be able to see it if they looked closely.

However, in the end, Ning Yue was disappointed, and he traveled half of Luoyang City in one afternoon, but he didn't find a single person who behaved abnormally. Did the remaining enemy spies behave too well, or were they not in the half of Luoyang City at all, or did these people just hear about it and hid it? Ning Yue couldn't guess it, but what Ning Yue knew was that in addition to himself, people who were only afraid of Jiang Ping were also secretly staring, but most of them were also fruitless.

On the second day, it was still the same rhythm as always, with the Korean army coming to scold in the morning, and the two sides resting in the afternoon. However, Zhou Bian knew that South Korea's brewing large-scale attack was about to come, because according to the spies' report, although it was not clear how many equipment the South Korean army had built, from a distance, it was almost all semi-finished products.

And Ning Yue still arranged for his subordinates to parade the streets with the corpse, and there was no progress at the beginning of the morning, but near noon in the slum settlement in Nancheng, there was an old lady who said that she had seen this person go to the street to buy vegetables, and the people of the Supervision Department were overjoyed when they heard it, and followed the guidance of the old lady, and found a few small traders who had seen this person, and finally asked all the way, and finally found a neighbor who claimed to be the deceased, according to which he touched the residence of this person, and also learned that this person had at least three accomplices.

The people of the Supervision Department did not dare to be careless, and after surrounding the courtyard, they quickly transferred a group of heavily armed soldiers before climbing over the wall and entering.

This is a kind of dilapidated courtyard common in slum settlements, in this alley, it is not inconspicuous at all, just like the house that Zhou Bian chose when he first entered Luoyang, it is very unnoticeable. Armed with swords and bows and arrows, the officials entered the courtyard, but they were not attacked as expected.

The soldiers quickly searched the entire courtyard, and there was still no one left, but there were daily necessities left, and judging from some of the utensils left, it was true that there were four people who lived here. The soldiers rummaged through the entire courtyard, but they didn't find anything useful left, and it seems that these people are really careful.

But the people of the Supervision Department still didn't dare to relax, and still blocked this small courtyard, until Ning Yue came to search it again in person, and then relaxed the blockade. And the soldiers also asked people nearby, and these people actually left at noon yesterday, but they didn't know where to go.

From this point of view, before the corpse was paraded through the streets, the spies who went to persuade Li Ding had already alarmed them before the time came, and they were very good enough. What a powerful opponent, Ning Yue's brows furrowed deeply, but his eyes were shining.

After asking someone again, and drawing the portraits of these people on the cloth, the team of the Supervision Division left. On the surface, all the people of the Supervision Department have been withdrawn, but in the secret, there are still secret agents of the Supervision Department left, silently continuing to monitor this small courtyard. Although I don't know if the Koreans will go and return, there is always hope for it.

Soon, Zhou Bian, who had taken a nap, learned the news, and Zhou Bian didn't expect that the Korean spy would be so careful, it seems that there must be capable people, and the person who is trying to do it is not small.

And now Zhou Bian can't think of any good way to find the remaining Koreans, and now during the war, he doesn't dare to search the whole city, but he is afraid that he will immediately find an outlet for people who are depressed to vent, so he thought about it, Zhou Bian ordered to go down, in addition to publishing the portrait to the whole city, but also to make Ning Yue focus on the general's family with military power, as well as some influential and powerful aristocratic mansions, judging from the behavior of the Koreans, I am afraid that they will continue to contact. In addition, the general in charge of the four city walls of Luoyang was ordered to carefully inspect to prevent anyone from communicating with the outside from up and down the city wall.

At the same time, Ning Yue also brought a piece of news, that is, people in the city are now spreading that the general who rejected the spies of the Han army was Li Ding from Gongyi. Hearing the news, Zhou Bian laughed, this must have been promoted by Li Ding's own people, but he took advantage of the wind of the Supervision Department carrying corpses to the streets, and promoted his fame. Although this matter is not very authentic, it is not wrong, it seems that it is necessary for him to use Li Ding again, Zhou Bian thought.

Another day has passed, Luoyang City is still calm, but Zhou Bian's heart is getting more and more nervous, because of the return of the spies, today outside the Han army camp from the east has transported a lot of grain and grass, is the Han army going to fight a protracted war? However, relatively speaking, this is not the point, the point is that the equipment of the South Korean army has been basically completed, although the spies do not dare to get too close, do not know the specific number, but can still see a large number of cars and dozens of high platforms, it seems that the South Korean army is getting closer and closer to the large-scale attack.

In the afternoon, Zhou Bian adjusted the military strength in Luoyang City, and pulled all the surviving and combat-capable nearly 4,000 soldiers of the Korean army on the first day of siege on the east city wall, and then deployed 5,000 veterans who did not participate in the first day of defending the city, and then brought the last recruit of 4,000 elites who were only trained for less than ten days, so that it was basically a one-to-one configuration, and then the remaining three city walls were almost all some veterans leading a large number of recruits, anyway, there are more than 50,000 troops in the city now, and the strength is not tight. It's just a matter of quality.

However, the method adopted by Zhou Bian was to promote a large number of veterans who had participated in the war to become grass-roots officers, so that the old and the new could ensure the rapid growth of the recruits, and there was no way to do so.

In this way, coupled with the former Imperial Forest Army led by Zhou Bian himself, the defensive strength of the entire east of Luoyang has reached more than 14,000, and of course, there are 10,000 reserves left in the east of the city, all of which are new soldiers, I hope that they can be used at a critical time, and at the same time, the number of people arranged on the east city wall has also risen to 20,000, and most of them are used to pull the heavy catapults.

This is already the largest defensive force that the royal family can take, if it is not enough, then it can only ignore the other three city walls, of course, if it is not absolutely necessary, Zhou Bian will not do this.

Although the past few days have been peaceful, the pressure brought by the South Korean army has increased every day, and it has not diminished in the slightest. Finally, in the evening of the same day, I got the latest report from the spies, and all the equipment of the Korean army was no longer a pile in the east and a pile in the west, but was lined up and ready to go. Yes, there is no need to say more, everyone in the royal family understands that the next round of offensive of the South Korean army is coming, maybe tomorrow.

The tense atmosphere spread in the hall at once, and all the ministers and generals who were urgently recruited by Zhou Bian were all full of seriousness. The generals above the commander are here, with the increase in the number of royal troops, the commander of the thousand commanders has also mentioned a lot, that is, Li Ding, who is also sitting here tonight, but although he is in charge of two thousand soldiers, they are all recruits, but they are only used as reserves, but this does not prevent Li Ding's contentment, as long as there is an opportunity, Li Ding believes that he will get ahead, just like in Gongyi, Li Ding was said by his cousin Li An, and immediately grabbed the royal family, and now, Li Ding still does not dare to have a trace of slack.

Although it was easy for so many days, the onslaught on the first day still woke many men even at midnight, and everyone knew that tomorrow's offensive would only be more violent.

But fortunately, Zhou Bian has adjusted the defensive strength of Luoyang, with the addition of a large number of new forces, as well as the experience of defending the city for the first time, and a pre-war mobilization, so that the generals present are full of fighting spirit and full of confidence.

This night, I don't know how many people lost sleep, and how many men woke up in the middle of the night, kicked their wives out of bed, and shouted kill, kill, kill.

And the summer night, so quiet, so short, so fast, is about to reach dawn.
