Chapter XXXIV Intelligence
"Ho ......" exhaled in one breath, and spewed out a white arrow with a thick mouth in front of his eyes.
Liu Xian rubbed his hands, "It's so fucking cold!" "I was wrapped tightly up and down, and when I walked around the city outside, I was shivering from the cold. No wonder the Taiping army stopped at Shiquan and no longer went west. This is not the time for war!
"Cold! Keep it cold. The colder it gets, the less the long hair will come! Liu Zhuo shrunk and went straight to the fire. He was colder than Liu Xian, who had only been patrolling the city for a week, and he had been on duty all night at Dongchengtou.
"Long hair is coming sooner or later. God can't be winter all the time. At that time, I will see if Li Ying's turtle, who is an official, can still nest comfortably in the bed.
He should also go to the city to watch the night! β
Trembling and cursing is Xiang Fa, who is the guard of Dongguan. After a night of duty, and then braving the cold and ice wind to rush to Liu Xian's residence in the city, the whole person was going to be hard.
Liu Xian smiled and glanced at Fan Debang.
"Alright, let's get down to business, let's get down to business. Don't talk nonsense, it's not good to spread it. Vanderbang knocked on his chair. As a cultural person, while shouldering the responsibility of the logistics minister in the army, Fan Debang can also be regarded as a dog-headed military advisor who is not very outstanding.
"I'm calling everyone over early in the morning to say something!" He held up a finger, "Something that has been hidden in our hearts for half a year!" β
"The arrow that the fifth brother was shot and wounded in the first place - whose hand did it come from!"
Suddenly, everyone in the room sat upright, the wooden chairs creaked, and a pair of eyes stared at Fan Debang.
"Boom, Li family!"
"Xiluoyu, the Li family has fought several battles with the True God Sect thugs who attacked and disturbed the Xuan in the past few days, and there were losses and wins, which is not surprising. But what is special is that the team of archers under the Li family, the archers that were hastily formed a month ago, and all the members of the Li family's family and the sons of the family, have become powerful with such a little effort, and there are more than ten or twenty victories in the battle, and there are not many random arrows that kill them, but one arrow is fatalββ"
A sneer appeared on Fan Debang's face. When the Li family organized the team of archers, many people laughed at the Li family, saying that the Li family was dizzy. Hanzhong is mountainous, and some are good at shooting and hunting bows, and a few such people are better than a team of house slaves who have never held bows and arrows?
But looking at it now, isn't the inexplicable place of the Li family just right? Outsiders who have house slaves are better to keep secrets? Better for hiding the master with the bow?
"This time, the old lady of the Li family went to Fucheng with a group of people, and there were only three ......or two big cats and kittens left in Chenggu County."
Drums don't need to be hammered. If you don't say anything superfluous, the rest of the people can taste it. Although there is no conclusive evidence in these words at all, the Li family is so suspicious that it can be confirmed. As for how Fan Debang knew about the situation on the battlefield of the Li family in Luoyu, Xiluoyu, Fan Debang didn't say it, Liu Xian didn't say it, and everyone could only understand it.
"Now there is only one thing to figure out, what hurdles do we have with the Li family?" So much so that it can make people completely killed!
Liu Xian also thought of Li Danyang before the first battle in Liulin Town, and he had a very good impression of him, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
"We don't have any conflict with the Li family at all. The Li family is a serious gentry, showing talents, lifting people, with two or three thousand acres of land alone, and more than ten noodle shops in the county seat and Fucheng. Why did he suddenly attack the fifth brother? Liu Zhuo's face was suspicious and puzzled.
Liu Xian's eyes swept over everyone's faces, and everyone was puzzled. "You really haven't had a grudge against the Li family, or have you ever had a holiday?"
"Fifth brother, we are a group of poor haha, what are we going to do to make a feud with the Li family? If you really want to say that there is a holiday, it is better to say that you were in Yinghongyuan for Xiao Jincui and the second housekeeper of the Li family......"
Before Qi Dalin finished speaking, Liu Xian picked up the teacup in his hand and smashed it. "Shut up Lao Tzu, will you still be able to speak-"
All of Liu Xian's memories Liu Xian inherited, and the matter in Qi Dalin's mouth, he remembered Liu Xian as soon as he mentioned it. Lose face! It's a shame to say it, for a bad thing of jealousy...... So he broke up and smashed the teacup.
There were a few muffled laughters in the room.
Liu Xian's eyes rolled, and everyone sat down seriously.
"The Li family is too far away, we can't reach them now, so let's put this matter down first. But you have to keep in mind that the Li family is very likely to be our great enemy! β
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Xian had no choice but to put it down in advance. He thought that he would be able to ask You Tou by gathering everyone, but no one had any grudges against the Li family, and You Tou really couldn't talk about it.
"Fifth brother. I'll keep an eye on the people over there. β
"Hmm. I'll trouble you in this regard, keep an eye on the Li family for me. β
After the leaders all went out, one of Liu Xian's relatives whispered.
As a posterity, Liu Xian understands the role of intelligence. In the same way, he would not give this powerful weapon to anyone else. This thing is now in his hands!
Perhaps when Liu Xian's intelligence system continues to expand and expand, it will eventually become a department, and it will eventually have its own operator, and Liu Xian will only accept its leader at the last moment.
Everyone was gone, and the house was empty. Liu Xian rubbed his hands together and sat down by the fire. The burning bonfire made his face red.
In December, Duolong'a received an edict from his superiors at Tongguan to supervise the military affairs of Shaanxi as a minister of Qincha, and to take over the battalions of the former minister Shengbao, with a total of more than 20,000 soldiers.
On the seventeenth day, Chenggu received a letter from Dolonga, who had taken office. The county's military strength is required to hold the city and resist the attack of the Taiping army. The news from Fucheng is that Fucheng has also received a letter, and the meaning is not stingy with Chenggu.
It's basically used to make paper towels. Now that the New Year is approaching, the Taiping army has stopped at Shiquan and there is no movement, the weather is still cold, obviously Hanzhong can have a stable year here.
The crowded county gradually became looser, and a large number of villagers returned to their homes. The price of grain and salt in the county town has increased instead of falling.
"A bunch of greedy moths, things that don't want money to kill."
In front of Liu Xian, Fan Debang scolded. But what about the scolding, under the threat of the fall of the county seat, even Li Ying, a fellow acquaintance, was afraid that he would not be able to let the grain merchants and salt merchants in the city lower the prices of grain and salt.
These are their net profits. When the villagers outside the city were crammed into the city, and when Chenggu County was shaky and could be destroyed at any time, they did not dare to raise prices. One is the fear that the people who are already uneasy will burst into impulses, and the other is that they also have a common hatred for the enemy.
After the county seat is broken, the Taiping Army and the Righteous Army may not do anything to the poor people, but for the rich businessmen, it is indispensable. In particular, grain merchants and salt merchants, who have deep local roots and influence, and at the same time have a bad reputation. It is the best target for the Taiping Army and the Righteous Army to fight local tyrants, so when the city is in danger, the grain merchants and salt merchants will not have the slightest movement that they should not have.
Until now, the crisis is resolved. The foundation behind the grain merchants and salt merchants has become the support and umbrella for them to immediately raise prices and sell high.
