Chapter 482: Patrol Envoy

The entire Sui County was blown up, and the rebels almost poured out to search for the assassins in the whole city, and every courtyard in the city was thoroughly searched, and finally found clues in a small courtyard but no one was found. Overnight, the generals above the fifth rank were almost dead, leaving Han En alone in a state of anxiety.

Before the child, someone saw Zheng Duobao running out of Jiang Yunlai's residence covered in blood, waving his arms frantically while running, making a hoarse sound in his throat, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was shouting, he didn't run far and fell to the ground, his body was injured, and his tongue was cut off, so people couldn't understand what he was shouting, and he couldn't save it. Li Liao rushed over with someone and immediately sent someone to find out what was going on. As a result, no one saw when Zheng Duobao entered Jiang Yunlai's residence, and Jiang Yunlai's personal soldiers didn't see how he entered Jiang Yunlai's bedroom.

Li Liao arranged for someone to handle it, and then returned to his residence. As a result, someone ran early the next morning to say that several more generals had died, and when the soldiers pushed the door in, they found that Li Liao had been killed without knowing when Lu Dao had been killed. The corpse was lying on the table, its body already stiff.

In the morning, more and more people were identified as dead.

Speaking of which, Han Eun was the weakest of the rebel generals. If it weren't for the fact that his uncle Han Renzao was Li Yuanshan's henchman, he would not have been named a five-rank general. Li Yuanshan has two most trusted strategists, one is named Tang Wenjing, who is also from the Longyou family, but his family is in the middle. Han Renzao's ancestral home is Jiangnan, and although the Han family is not a first-class family in Jiangnan, it is also a famous family with a history of hundreds of years.

Since learning that he is now the highest military officer in Sui County, Han En's heart has not been steady. The first is that the assassin who is afraid of death, lest he kills has not left. The second is panic, not knowing what to do with these things. It was Li Liao's pro-soldier team that Li Er had seen a lot, and he kept reminding him that he barely showed his timidity.

"What now?"

Han En asked Li Er in a low voice.

"The general's family still needs you to personally pacify the body, and then take care of the body. Send people out of the city and search in the distance along the official road, although there is little hope, but it cannot be left out. Also, if nothing else, the inspector will be able to arrive in the afternoon, and if there is such a big mess, the inspector will come, and the general only needs to hand everything over to the inspector to decide, of course, the silver must be delivered. ”

Li Liao died, and Li Erzhi said that if he wanted to continue to mix, he could only quickly find a new master. Although Han En is a waste, he is now the only person in charge of Sui County, and the patrol envoy is about to arrive, if nothing else, the patrol envoy will definitely let Han En preside over military affairs.

It is too far away from Xiangcheng, and there must be no main general in the army, plus the patrol envoy already has this right, so Han En's ascension to the position is a matter of course.

Li Er thought to himself that it would not hurt for him to be closer to Han En now.

He thought for a moment and continued: "The inspector will definitely be furious when he arrives, and he will definitely reprimand you harshly, but don't care, general, it's all a scene. The general should not rush or resist, and the inspector will be whatever he says. Then send enough silver, and the inspector will let you preside over military affairs nine times out of ten. I can't say that from today, the team of more than 10,000 people in Sui County will be handed over to you. ”

"Huh?"

Han En was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but smile and said, "If you look at it this way, it's really not a bad thing for me." ”

Li Er thought to himself, you idiot, how can you laugh now......

"Li Er, what did you say to do first?"

After smirking for a while, Han En remembered that he had forgotten most of what Li Er had said before.

"Let the generals take care of the corpses of the generals first, and then send people out of the city to search for the assassins along the official roads, and then go to appease General Li's family."

"Yes, yes, yes"

Han En patted his head and said as he walked, "You follow me, if there is anything I forgot about your direct reminder." ”

As he was talking, suddenly four or five horsemen rushed straight down the street. These people were wearing green brocade robes, beams and crowns, and black cloaks, and the man at the head did not come down after reining in the war horse, and shouted directly to the people: "The inspector has arrived at the Thirty Mile Fort to rest and set off later, General Li, please go out of the city to greet you!" ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Han En was immediately stunned.

Li Er touched him from behind before Han En reacted, and immediately took a few steps forward and said, "Please return to the patrol envoy, and immediately go out of the city to greet him." ”

The man pointed with his horsewhip and frowned and asked, "What's wrong, General Li?" ”

"General Lee...... Dead"

Han En became smarter, pretending to be very sad and said, "Last night, there were assassins in the city who assassinated General Li, and they are sending people to search for him. ”

The man's face changed for a moment, then he hugged his fists and said, "I'll go back first, and the general will personally report to the patrol envoy in a while." ”

……

……

The establishment of the inspection envoy was not long ago, and it was only after the imperial army invaded Hexi Province that Li Yuanshan dispatched his relatives to trust his orders, although there was no specific official position, but the authority was staggering. After Li Yuanshan proclaimed himself king, he trusted his clan more and more, and all the elite people were handed over to the Li family to lead. The patrol envoys are no exception, all of them are members of the Li family.

Regarding Li Yuanshan's arrangement, in fact, most people are a little puzzled. The men and horses arranged in front of him were the rebels led by his Seven Tiger Generals, all of whom were forcibly captured by the people, and their combat power was really not very strong, although the number was huge, it was difficult to resist the offensive of the imperial army. After the best equipped and well-trained men and horses were arranged in Xiangcheng, the elite of the original headquarters of the right Xiaowei followed Li Yuanshan to defend Xiangcheng.

There are not many people who really know the purpose of Li Yuanshan's arrangement, but the inspector who is responsible for supervising the armies west of Xiangcheng knows the way, because Li Yuanshan's arrangement is mostly on these seven patrol envoys.

Thirty Mile Fort, the patrol made Li Xiaolian stand under a big tree and lose his mind. According to the seniority, he is the nephew of Li Yuanshan's same clan, and he is the same generation as Li Xiaozong, but his fourth brother Li Yuanshan is the eldest son, and his status is naturally not comparable to Li Xiaozong.

The battle situation ahead is becoming more and more worrying, and although the advance speed of the imperial army is not as fast as before, it has never stopped. Li Xiaolian knew what Li Yuanshan's arrangement was, but he was still not sure. This decisive battle is a battle of life and death for the Li family, and there is no doubt that Li Yuanshan can indeed be regarded as a hero, and it is very likely to lead the Li family to the pinnacle of this world. But if it is defeated, everyone in the Li family from top to bottom will not have any vitality.

Li Xiaolian knew very well that the current situation was developing according to Li Yuanshan's expectations, and almost every step did not deviate from Li Yuanshan's plan. Whether it is his side or the court's side, they are all following the path he drawn. But this is not the reason why Li Xiaolian can be down-to-earth, at this time, he believes that even Li Yuanshan himself may not be down-to-earth.

Being appointed by Li Yuanshan as an inspector is exciting. Once the Li family finally turned into a country, Li Xiaolian knew how bright his future was. But because of this trust and promotion, he determined that once the army was defeated, he would be one of the first people to be beheaded by the imperial court.

"My lord, are we waiting for Li Liao to bring someone to greet us or leave later?"

The guards handed him the water bladder and asked.

"Take a break and set off, after all, it's only more than thirty miles, and you will arrive in Sui County before dark."

Li Xiaolian replied, still thinking about the battle situation.

As a close person close to Li Yuanshan, he knew that Li Yuanshan had been planning the current situation since the beginning of the army. In the past three years, Li Yuanshan has continued to expand his army, and he has continued to increase troops and set up defense lines in Hexi Road, as if he had closed himself in the three northwest roads, and he never tried to get out of the northwest, because Li Yuanshan was waiting for the imperial army to come. Outsiders even thought that he was not ambitious, and he was satisfied with not wanting to make progress if he occupied the three northwestern roads. Li Xiaolian scoffed at this kind of discussion. He admired Li Yuanshan and sincerely admired him.

Only the person who really stands on the high ground can see what will happen in a few years, and let what happens in a few years go exactly as he designed it. Those who are talking about it behind their backs can't understand Li Yuanshan's successive arrangements for success. Li Yuanshan is like a big player, he spent three years in the next game of chess, and once he laid it out, no one could solve it.

Just when Li Xiaolian was pondering, the guard standing on the roof suddenly sounded an alarm: "There is an army due north, smoke and dust are billowing, it should be cavalry!" ”

Li Xiaolian was stunned, climbed up the courtyard wall and jumped on the roof, taking the guard's clairvoyance and looking in the direction of due north.

"Let everyone get on their horses and be ready to evacuate at any time."

He commanded as he stared north.

Three hundred patrol guards dressed in green brocade robes and black cloaks immediately mounted their horses and waited for his next order.

"Huh?"

Li Xiaolian put down his clairvoyance, and his face was full of doubts. As if something had come out of his mind, he raised his clairvoyance again to take a closer look.

"How can there be a wolf ride of the Mengyuan people in this place?"

He muttered, then jumped down from the roof and ordered: "It's the wolf riders who are coming, their horses are faster than ours, and they can't be hastily withdrawn, those barbarians don't care what our identity is." Once the withdrawal attracts their attention, we will not be able to stop the rain of arrows. Shine your back out to Meng Yuanman, and their feather arrows will grow with the precision of their eyes. ”

"Saburo"

He called the leader of the guard over and whispered, "In a while, you go out to negotiate with the Mengyuan people and ask them whose subordinates they are." ”

San Lang answered, and led people out of the village to stop on the official road. After only waiting for a moment, the flying wolf flag on the official road in front of him was already clear. San Lang knew the clothing and leather armor of the Mengyuan people, and knew that these barbarians were unscrupulous in the northwest, even if they were Li Yuanshan's cronies, those Mengyuan barbarians might not be in their eyes. These scum are pawns arranged by King Dingxi, and they can't be offended yet.

The wolf riders had apparently spotted them as well, and when they were approaching Thirty Mile Fort, the party suddenly separated, its wings spread outward, and a semicircle came around, quickly encircling the whole village.

Li Xiaolian motioned to his subordinates to put away their weapons and not to act rashly. San Lang walked over with a few people and saluted with his fists: "We are the team of patrol envoys under the command of King Dingxi, may I ask which general is leading the troops?" ”

The bearded Meng Yuanren at the head glanced at him contemptuously: "I am Hami, a subordinate of General Baihuo, and I was ordered by the general to visit the special service, where are you going?" ”

San Lang didn't dare to be careless when he saw that the hands of those barbarians were on the handle of the scimitar, and he smiled and said: "The king of Dingxi sent an inspector to inspect all places, and the general came from Fengcheng to work hard. ”

Meng Yuanren, who had a beard, snorted, and looked at San Lang carefully, and seemed to gradually relax his vigilance: "I heard General Bai Huo mention that the King of Dingxi sent seven people as patrol envoys. The Inspector is not there, and I happen to have something important to ask him. ”

San Lang looked back at Li Xiaolian, who shook his head without leaving a trace.

"I am"

Saburo nodded and said.

The bearded Meng Yuan jumped down from his horse and strode forward: "Our scouts have found a large number of Han Chinese troops west of Fengcheng, not under the banner of the king of Dingxi. General Baihuo sent someone to investigate, but the team has already broken through Fengcheng, this matter is urgent, the general sent me to Xiangcheng immediately to ask for a special report, since you are the patrol envoy under the king of Dingxi, then please go to Xiangcheng with me? ”

He said as he walked that he had arrived in front of Saburo.

San Lang's face changed in surprise, and he subconsciously turned back to look at Li Xiaolian. The matter was too big for him to handle.

"Fengcheng has been breached?"

Li Xiaolian couldn't help it, and hurriedly came over and asked loudly, "How many people are there in Fengcheng?" Is it a red painted dragon flag? ”

After he finished asking this sentence, he suddenly found that the bearded Meng Yuan man smiled, which was very weird. Li Xiaolian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and suddenly his face changed greatly.

"Who are you?"

He paused in his footsteps and pulled out the horizontal knife violently.

The cavalry surrounding the village had drawn their hard bows, and thousands of feathered arrows were aimed at them.

"Put down your weapons."

From behind the beard came a young man in a black robe, his clothes stained with a lot of dust, but his smile was clean and his eyes were bright. This young man is very beautiful, and even Li Xiaolian, who has always been conceited about his appearance, couldn't help but be surprised.

The man in black looked at Li Xiaolian and said gently, "If you think it is useful to draw a knife, I don't mind if you try it." Although they are all dead, the corpse is more beautiful than broken into pieces, right? ”
