Chapter 70: A Letter!
Hearing this, Lu Chen nodded with satisfaction, he still had a month's time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć During this period, the people who fled from the other three tribes heard that their holy relics were enshrined by Lu Chen, and they all converged on this side. In their eyes, where the holy relics are, their tribe is there!
In more than ten days, a total of six or seven hundred people came, although it was not a lot, but Lu Chen was also very satisfied. After all, in this era of underdeveloped news, there are many people who can't know the news at all, and this time so many people can be gathered, mainly because although these tribesmen have escaped, they have not gone too far, after all, they have never walked out of this valley in their lives, otherwise there are still few people who can know this news.
These people had only two demands: to take care of their meals and let them worship the sacred relics of their tribe here. It can be said that Lu Chen got these hundreds of laborers for nothing.
During the period of time when the city was built, Lu Chen did not relax his defense against the Tubo people at all, he would send dozens of people to patrol around this mountain range every day, and once he found the traces of the Tubo people, he would immediately come back and report!
As for the women and children in these tribes, Lu Chen asked them to take care of the farmland in the valley outside the city, the farmland that used to belong to the five major tribes now belongs to Lu Chen. And it's the end of summer now, and it can be harvested in autumn, so Lu Chen is naturally reluctant to waste this food.
This grain is the first batch of grain reserves after the construction of this small city!
More than half a month passed peacefully, and the expected revenge of the Tibetans did not come.
On this day, Lu Chen was surveying the half-completed city wall, when suddenly a group of soldiers ran back and said, "Report to the general, we accidentally intercepted a letter outside the mountain range"
Lu Chen frowned slightly, "Tell me about the specific situation!" ā
"This morning we were patrolling the mountains to the east, and we faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and we thought it was the Tibetan army coming to take revenge, but just as we were about to leave, we heard the sound of the hooves of only one horse, so we set a trap at the bottom of the mountain and captured this man. I didn't expect this to be a person from the Tang Dynasty, but from his body, we found a letter to the Tubo people" As he spoke, the soldier handed Lu Chen a letter.
Lu Chen opened it, only to see that there were only five big words on it, 'The day of the beginning of autumn, action!' ā
After seeing this letter, Lu Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Pull that person up!" ā
The soldier immediately saluted Lu Chen and left, and it didn't take long for him to see him come over with a middle-aged man dressed very ordinary.
This person is dressed in gray, his hair is bound, and there is nothing else on his body, so he can't see what kind of force this person belongs to, he can only see from his clothes that he is a person from the Tang Dynasty.
When this person saw Lu Chen, he was stunned for a moment, and then saw the corners of his mouth move. Seeing this, Lu Chen hurriedly rushed forward, wanting to forcibly pry his mouth open, but he was still one step too late, and when Lu Chen came to him, this person was already dead.
I saw a wisp of black blood flowing from his mouth, apparently he had prepared poison in his mouth before, and in case of an accident, he would immediately end his life. This is a dead man who would rather die immediately than let his secret be known!
Lu Chen recalled the scene that the soldier had said before, and he immediately asked for a map of the area, from the mountains to the east and to the west. After looking at it for a while, Lu Chen suddenly said, "This person should be sending information to the people in Tubo, but I don't know who sent him!" ā
.............................
In the Lin Yuan barracks, in the huge army tent at this moment, there were only Lin Yuan and a few strategists. I saw Lin Yuan's face gloomy and said, "Haven't you found any news about him yet?" ā
Hearing this, a man dressed in gray clothes knelt down on one knee, hugged his fists and said, "Report to the general, his whereabouts disappeared at the junction of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, because there are too many mountains and hills in that area, and we can't investigate it openly, so it is not possible to find out in a while."
After hearing this, Lin Yuan's face became even more gloomy, and his brows were furrowed tightly, he was really afraid that the matter would be revealed, and his fate would be ...........
After being silent for a long time, Lin Yuan sighed lightly, "You go and send another letter, let's revise the time." Remember to give this letter to their steward! ā
The gray-clothed man who knelt on one knee immediately hugged his fists and said, "Yes, it will be delivered next!" ā
After speaking, he walked out of the military tent with a letter that Lin Yuan had just written, and the man who returned to his tent changed his clothes, and left Lin Yuan's military camp on horseback and ran into the distance.
At the same time, Lu Chen looked carefully at the letter in front of him in the tent, and there was nothing special about the letter. However, at this moment, there is still an inscription of General Lin Yuan next to it.
Lu Chen compared the two handwritings together, the two words seem to be very different, the words on the inscription seem to be a sharp blade, and every word is sonorous and powerful, piercing people's hearts. And the handwriting of this letter is very ordinary, as if it was written by an ordinary person.
However, Lu Chen could see from this degree of seriousness that the person who wrote the letter was trying his best to change his font. Therefore, it seems that the words on this letter seem to have been written carefully by a person who has just learned to write.
Lu Chen looked at it for a long time, put away the two fonts separately, and then imagined in his mind what would happen on the day of the beginning of autumn? And after the person who sent the letter knew that something had happened on the way, would he change the time?
Although Lu Chen didn't know what big things were going to happen on the day of the beginning of autumn, if they knew that the time would be exposed, they would definitely change the time, and they would probably change the time forward!
Then, Lu Chen smiled self-deprecatingly, why do you care so much? Now it is better to build a small town for self-preservation, so that when the situation is chaotic, you will not even be able to save your own life.
When the construction of the city wall was completed, a month passed unconsciously, because the construction of the city required manpower, so in more than a month, Lu Chen did not take people out to clear the Tibetan army.
Until today, the walls of the small city have finally been built, and at the weakest defense gate, Lu Chen also asked people to build an urn city to protect the city gate. Although the city wall is not readily available, there are still defensive measures such as the childish wall and the female wall, after all, Lu Chen's purpose in building this small city was to have a place to retreat in the future.
However, now the small city is only surrounded by a ring of walls, and it is empty, except for a few dozen houses of the Zushi tribe and some temporary houses built by people from the other three tribes.
Seeing that the city wall was completed, Lu Chen led the army he brought with him, preparing to clean up all the nearby Tubo troops. It's strange to say, in the more than one month since the city was built, Lu Chen didn't meet the Tubo people to take revenge, which is a bit inconsistent with their character! Lu Chen had killed more than 100 of them at the beginning, had the Tubo people given up revenge?
