Chapter 173: Li Hu's Entanglement
Zuoren City, is the place where the Balling of the Six Han Dynasty once started, is the base camp of the Ge Rong Ministry, and is the place where it is rarely self-reliant in cultivating rites, and now, it has become the first fortress in the south of the Ge Rong Department to defend against Wei Ting.
It's a pity that the current Zuoren City is really a bit depressed, and the scene when Zilong first came here is very different.
Li Hu, who has been silently guarding his post, can be called a model pacesetter of love and dedication, and he is also familiar with such things as patrolling city defense.
No matter how hard anyone fights, it is self-reliance and internal strife, and foreign enemy invasions and things happen from time to time, but Zuoren City has changed a few masters, and it still hasn't shaken his status as a city defense officer and patrol master.
In the eyes of others, he is not enterprising, or unpopular, but he knows in his heart that this position is enough, because he is an undercover agent.
Xian Yu Xiuli uprising, once invited him to be a pioneer officer, when Yuan Hongye was plotting a mutiny, he invited him to be the governor of the Southern Expedition, but he refused without exception.
Because Yanzhou has been taken by Er Zhurong, Yuwentai is waiting for news from him in Yanzhou, and then waits for an opportunity to take Dingzhou and kill Ge Rong, and his task will be completed.
But today, he is faced with another choice - the heavy responsibility of guarding the southern gateway of Dingzhou, which is entrusted to him by Zilong.
"Zilong, do you think it's appropriate to be the lord of Zuoren City with my identity?"
This is not the first time that Zilong and Li Hu have talked in Li Hu's courtyard, both of them understand each other's thoughts, and they talk very easily.
"Li Hu, believe me, this is definitely beneficial to you, and it is also good for what you want to do!"
Li Hu was a little entangled, he had never dared to take the lead, what he was afraid of was that it would affect his undercover work, but now Zilong not only let him take the lead, but even arranged him into the roles of Ge Rong, Xian Yu Xiuli, and Yuan Hongye.
That's too eye-catching, isn't it?
"However, even if this is good for me, but in the world, apart from you, only Yuwentai and others know my identity, if Yuanchen Yuanrong ignores it and attacks my Zuoren City, where should I go?"
Li Hu's worries are very realistic, but Zilong's intentions are also meaningful.
"Don't worry, I will leave you 20,000 soldiers and horses, and with your qualifications and talents, it will be easy to hold Dingzhou City."
Aptitude? Calibre?
Li Hu was a little puzzled, Li Hu didn't have that confidence in these military things, if he said that he wrote poems, it was not a problem, when did Zilong become blind? Not blind in the eye, but blind in the heart.
"Don't make fun of me, what am I capable of, I know it myself, otherwise how would I come here to be an undercover agent? It's been galloping on the field for a long time. ”
Tonight's wind is a little weird, making the lights in the house shake and sway, and the figures in the house flicker, making people dazzled.
"Sometimes people's talents are like shadows on this wall, do you look at the shadows of others more, or do you look at your own shadows more?"
Li Hu was stunned when he heard this, it seemed that he did look at the shadows of others more, but what does this have to do with talent?
Seeing Li Hu's stunned eyes, Zilong smiled and said, "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain!" ”
Suddenly, a poem made Li Hu admire, but unfortunately his attention was too much, is Zilong showing you his literary talent now?
"Brother Zilong, sure enough, the literature is charming, and the export is a chapter, Li Hu admires it!"
Zilong had a black line, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and said: "It's not about whether it's good or not, I mean that the person you are most difficult to understand happens to be yourself, but I can see it more clearly."
Anyway, I will hand over this Zuoren City and 20,000 soldiers and horses to you, and the combined force of Yuanchen and Yuanrong is only 30,000 or 40,000 people, you only need to defend Zuoren City, and this is enough.
Moreover, once Ge Rong finds out that Yuanchen Yuanrong is attacking you, and you go all out to stop them from going north, then Ge Rong's trust in you will be more, won't it? ”
Only then did Li Hu realize that what Zilong said was indeed reasonable, but seeing that Er Zhurong's army was assembled and Dingzhou City was about to be broken, was it really that important whether he gained trust or not? It's important to stand on the last shift!
Seeing that Li Hu was a little hesitant, Zilong had to give him a fierce medicine.
"Listen, don't expect Er Zhurong to break through Dingzhou quickly, he will not launch an impact on Dingzhou in the short term, this is the strategy we have formulated!"
Tactics? You guys? Li Hu was even more puzzled in his heart, Zilong really didn't want to help Ge Rong, this Li Hu knew, but when Zilong and Er Zhurong set a strategy, which is confusing.
Zilong didn't say much, only asked, "20,000 people for you, do you take it or not?" ”
Li Hu was entangled, but looking at Zilong's meaning, it seemed that even if he didn't accept it, I was afraid that Zilong would throw it at him, isn't it difficult for a strong man?
"Can you think of an individual way, I'm afraid I won't be able to do this, I'm afraid that I will be attacked by my own people, and I'm afraid that Ge Rong will suspect me."
Zilong was a little annoyed, because Li Hu was too inkblotted.
"Wei Ting is coming, you just let it go, don't worry, even if they come, you can defeat it, as for Ge Rong's side, you are doing enough drama here, I am confusing around Ge Rong, he will not doubt and believe me!"
After speaking, Zilong stood up and walked towards the outside of the small courtyard.
The next day, Zuorencheng issued a military order, Li Hu temporarily assumed the position of the lord of Zuorencheng, and all matters were taken by him, and the Northern Expeditionary Army left 20,000 soldiers and horses, which were controlled by Li Hu to ensure the safety of the residents in the city from loss.
After the military order was issued, Li Hu's subordinates originally had a strong brilliance in their eyes, envy, jealousy and hatred, all kinds of expectations, imagination and longing, one person won the Taoist chicken dog ascended to heaven, Li Hu was famous, will he treat these subordinates badly?
Unexpectedly, what appeared in their eyes was that Li Hu, who was entangled and suffocated, did not suddenly grasp the power of the army.
"Big brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Yes, the army of 20,000 is left to you for the festival, what are you doing with a bitter face?"
"The city lord is all for you, don't forget your brothers!"
……
But who understands the entanglement in Li Hu's heart, he is obviously a poet who is indifferent to fame and fortune and does not want to take the lead, if he wants him to manage the military and political affairs of a city, is he preparing to cultivate a poetry city?
Li Hu still wanted to shirk it, but Zilong had already gone away.
didn't even say a word of farewell, Zilong's trick was simply to catch ducks on the shelves.
Looking at the happy brothers, thinking about the forces of all parties to face in the future, Li Hu felt even more bitter in his heart.
"Pass my general order, all the members of the city defense team and patrol team gather, send a messenger, with my seal, and order the army outside the city to enter the city to rest, I have important arrangements."
When Li Hu was pressing, Zilong, the initiator, was already on the way to Dingzhou City. (To be continued.) )
