Chapter 536: Strategizing

"Brother Li, I also want to know how you strategize, so let's talk about it." Conan said with a smile.

Li Canghai looked left and right, and said: "This place is not the place to speak, everyone should go back to the county guard mansion first, I think, at this time, the prince and Lord Yang have already cleaned up the mess." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, leaving Li Jinsheng to lead the garrison to continue to clean up the dead and wounded corpses in the urn city, and everyone followed Li Canghai back to the county guard's mansion.

In the county guard's mansion, Li Qi and Yang Shicheng had already turned around, and when they saw Li Canghai and others coming back, Yang Shicheng hurriedly greeted them.

"Your Excellency." Yang Shicheng admires Li Canghai very much.

Before, he had only heard of how Li Canghai had repeatedly solved strange cases, but he had never seen it, and now, under his arrangement, he captured the Japanese who tried to capture Yangzhou City in one fell swoop, only to know that the rumors were not exaggerated.

What he admired most was that he not only wiped out the pirates, but also did not hurt any of the civilians, which is simply incredible.

"Lord Yang, how is the situation on your side?" Li Canghai asked.

Yang Shicheng said respectfully: "Back to my lord, everything is according to the arrangement of my lord, the Japanese who attacked the north gate were all besieged in the urn city, and no one escaped. ”

Li Canghai nodded and said, "That's good, and ask Lord Yang to send people to patrol all over the city to prevent fish from slipping through the net from taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble." ”

Yang Shicheng said: "Your Excellency, rest assured, the lower officials have ordered people to patrol the city, and if they find people with strange whereabouts, they will be arrested immediately." ”

Li Qi put his hands behind his back, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Canghai, don't you ask how the situation is on the king's side?" ”

Li Canghai smiled and said, "With the prince and Jianning Tiewei here, those wouldn't be able to escape even if they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to break through the prince's defense?" ”

Li Qi nodded with satisfaction and said, "If there are a few more officials like you in Datang, you will definitely be able to reproduce the prosperous era." ”

"The prince has a good reputation." Li Canghai said deeply: "There is no shortage of wise and brave people in Datang, but most of them have no way to serve the country. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

They all know that the current imperial court is controlled by Yang Guozhong, and it is difficult for loyal ministers and righteous people to enter the court as officials.

The entire Tang Dynasty is now in the hands of the traitorous party headed by Yang Guozhong, they exclude dissidents, and the party fights against dissidents, so that talented people have to bury the people.

Li Yu touched his nose, he found that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he coughed twice and said, "Brother Huang, let's not mention this matter for the time being, let Mr. tell me how he strategized and controlled the overall situation, right?" I've always been curious! ”

Yang Shicheng also nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes!" Xia Guan also wanted to know how the adults arranged to be able to wipe out the Japanese who had been invading the coast for more than ten years, which was simply amazing! ”

Li Canghai saw that everyone wanted to know, so he nodded and said: "Actually, on Penglai Island, I already know that the Sang Island Ronin is going to attack Yangzhou City. It's just that I didn't know their plan at that time, and it wasn't until Brother Conan and I went to Zailai Town and found some clues in the rich Zhang Wenyuan's house in Zailai Town, so we secretly designed all this. ”

Conan said puzzledly: "Brother Li, you said that you knew on the island that they would attack Yangzhou City?" How is this possible? ”

Not only Conan, but even Li Yu and others were confused.

That Penglai Island is isolated from the outside world, except for some pirates, there is no one else, how could he know there that the Mulberry Island Ronin is going to attack Yangzhou? Could it be that he really can't do divination?

Thinking of this, Li Yu's eyes when he looked at Li Canghai instantly became strange.

Li Canghai smiled slightly and said, "Brother Conan, do you remember that I once said that another treasure of your state, the 'A.A.a. Brocade Box', is missing?" ”

Conan nodded and said, "Naturally, I remember that Brother Li said that the brocade box was brought to Datang by Miss Fujiwara Kyoko, but then it disappeared, and it is very likely to fall into the hands of those ronins on Kuwajima." ”

"Yes, this happened more than a month ago. At that time, I was an official in Zhengyang, and I happened to come into contact with this matter. Later, he learned that the brocade box might fall into the hands of the Mulberry Island Ronin, so he sent the Panlong Secret Guard to infiltrate Mulberry Island and investigate in secret. And last time on Penglai Island, among the ronins we encountered, there happened to be a dragon secret guard hidden in it. After dealing with the ronins, he revealed the news to me, and it was at that time that I guessed that they were eyeing Yangzhou City. Li Canghai said.

"It turns out that Mr. arranged for spies to infiltrate Mulberry Island early in the morning, no wonder!" Li Yu suddenly realized.

Li Canghai shook his head and said, "No, it's not a spy, it's an undercover agent." It wasn't until later, Brother Conan and I found out that Zhang Wenyuan had colluded with those ronins, and Zhang Wenyuan also abandoned the darkness and told me about their attack on Yangzhou City, that I thought of this plan. ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it! Li Yu couldn't wait to say authentically.

"At first, I asked Zhang Wenyuan to continue to cooperate with them quietly, and tried my best to encourage them, saying that this was the best time to attack Yangzhou City. At the same time, I deliberately let out my words, so that the Japanese Kou thought that the three major artifacts were really leaving Yangzhou. Of course, the importance of the three major artifacts is undoubted, so it makes sense to transfer nearly half of the garrison army in Yangzhou City to accompany the guards. Li Canghai said.

"But won't they doubt it?" Yang Shicheng asked in surprise.

Li Canghai smiled indifferently and said, "If this news comes from someone else's mouth, they may be suspicious, but if it is from Zhang Wenyuan's mouth, they will definitely believe it." ”

"Why is that?" Yang Shicheng asked puzzled.

Li Canghai snorted and said, "Because, they have been cooperating with each other for many years. Over the years, no matter how many people the imperial court sent to encircle and suppress them, they all returned in vain, and they even often fell into ambushes with heavy casualties, didn't the county guard suspect the reason for this? ”

Yang Shicheng was stunned, he saluted Li Canghai in confusion and said, "The lower officials are puzzled, and I hope that the adults will give you advice." ”

"That's because all the movements of the imperial court were told to them by Zhang Wenyuan." Li Canghai said coldly.

"This ...... How is this possible? Yang Shicheng was surprised, and he said in disbelief: "The use of troops in the imperial court is a secret matter, and it is impossible for others to know the specific itinerary except for the military department and the local county guard." Although Zhang Wenyuan has some family wealth, he has no official position after all, how can he know the itinerary and time of the army? ”

"Zhang Wenyuan doesn't know, but someone knows." Li Canghai's tone was indifferent.

"Who?" Yang Shicheng asked in surprise. (To be continued.) )
