After Yan Wangqing was picked up by Liu Yuhao and others, he returned to a farmhouse, which was the residence given to them by the farmers in the village, in order to be afraid of being discovered by the wolf tooth army, Yan Wangqing put the sand cloak aside, took out a map of the Northwest War Zone from the bedside, and then asked a subordinate to go to the door to post a sentry, Yan Wangqing spread out the map, pointing to Taiyuan and Luoyang City Road.

"According to the information I have received, in the past two days, the Luoyang Jiedu envoy will go to Taiyuan in the name of guests, and will bring this group of wolf tooth troops on the way, their purpose is to understand the distribution of defenders and construction fortifications in Taiyuan, etc., if my guess is correct, they will soon attack Taiyuan, and Sha Qibo himself will go out. In the battle of Yanmen Pass, in general, our Cangyun Army held it, and the purpose of the general's order for our squads to come out was to prevent the current situation from occurring. ”

Liu Yuhao touched his chin and asked.

"Eldest sister, do you think this is a trap for the Wolf Tooth Army, they deliberately let you hear this, if we take measures, what if they have other plans? And according to what you heard, the Luoyang Jiedu envoy is probably a mutiny, but what if he didn't rebel, but really came to Taiyuan City as a guest? ”

"That's what I've thought about, so we need to prepare with both hands. First, send a letter to Li Guangbi, the envoy of Taiyuan Jiedu, and tell him to arrange for the Taiyuan City garrison to be as lazy as possible, hide the fortifications and other things that can be hidden, and try to pile up some sundries next to the ones that can't be hidden, and first let the Wolf Tooth Army relax their vigilance. Second, let Liu Xiao, the nearest garrison of the Cangyun Army, be on standby at any time, and if the Wolf Tooth Army really attacks Taiyuan City, let him bring his more than 2,000 brothers to support quickly. ”

Liu Yuhao nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away, by the way, eldest sister, do you want to send the news to Yanmen Pass again?" ”

Yan Wangqing looked at the Yanmen Pass on the map and shook his head.

"It's still not necessary, it's not easy for the generals to stay there now, we can't distract them, and there must be a garrison of Tiance Mansion near Taiyuan, if it really fights, they will also support, Yanmen Pass is the first barrier in the Central Plains, and the rebels can't break through it no matter what."

Liu Yuhao went down to arrange the future matters, Yan Wangqing looked at the map, his hands clenched unconsciously, and muttered: "Come on, Wolf Tooth Army, my eldest grandson will definitely keep you out of the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

The day after Liu Yuhao released the news, those wolf tooth troops began to change into the costumes of the Tang Dynasty defenders, and it seemed that they should be going to join the Luoyang Jiedu envoy. Liu Yuhao quietly followed with a brother, and sure enough, three miles away, they saw that the wolf tooth army was interspersed with a group of Tang troops, and the destination was naturally Taiyuan City. After Liu Yuhao went back and told Yan Wangqing the news, they took out a detailed map of Taiyuan City.

"The main fortifications of Taiyuan City are in Chaoxi Gate, and most of the defenders are also in Dongcheng. As for the Huaide Gate and Yingze Gate in Xicheng, it is estimated that there are about 2,000 defenders in each place, and from Chaoxi Gate to Xicheng, there are three bridges in the middle, and there is a moat below, and it takes about half an hour from Dongcheng to Xicheng. There were 20,000 garrisons in Dongcheng, and most of the grain, grass, and fortifications were there, so Dongcheng was the main point of attack. But now I am afraid that they will enter from Huaide Gate or Yingze Gate, and they will not hesitate to take a long detour and forcibly attack the eastern city, so that we will be passive, the two gates of the western city are not strong, and the defenders are few, so we must take certain measures and find a way to tell Li Guangbi the news, he is also an old general, and there will be certain means. ”

Luoyang City's festival envoys are Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi, this time to Taiyuan City, only Feng Changqing led the team, a total of more than 100 people, of course, this also includes the sand of the wolf tooth army team. Sha Qihu rode a horse, and Feng Changqing went hand in hand, Sha Qihu looked back at the team behind him, and said.

"What, you're bringing such a few people?"

Feng Changqing stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Could it be that you asked me to take a million troops to Taiyuan City as a guest?" Be realistic, there are too many people going, it will inevitably arouse suspicion, and besides, he Li Guangbi is not a fool, don't talk when you go then, just watch, I'm afraid that as soon as you open your mouth, others will see something and hear something. ”

How to say that Sha Qi is almost a Hu person, with a hint of a foreign tone, and Li Guangbi has dealt with a lot of Hu people, if he finds out the clue, the plan of the Wolf Tooth Army will definitely not succeed, thinking like this, Sha Qi can only obey Feng Changqing's arrangement. They arrived at Taiyuan City at noon, and were received by Li Guangbi's lieutenant, who was in Xicheng at this time, while Feng Changqing had entered through the Chaoxi Gate in Dongcheng.

Along the way, Sha Qi looked at the fortifications in Taiyuan City from time to time, catapults, siege vehicles, crossbow vehicles, etc., but Sha Qi almost saw that some things had broken down, and there were many sundries piled up next to it, and even the defenders of Taiyuan were chatting, drinking, and so on when they were patrolling. Li Guangbi's lieutenant walked over and kicked the patrol soldier who was drinking in the ass.

"It's too daring, who let you drink during patrol time? Don't know if this is a dereliction of duty? If an enemy comes in, what do you do against him? There is no military discipline at all, whose soldier are you? ”

"Huh... Deputy Lieutenant Li, I am the soldier of Liang Guang, the deputy lieutenant of Rong, didn't they all say that the Cangyun Army resisted the Wolf Tooth Army outside the Yanmen Pass, we think that Taiyuan will be fine, just drink a little, just a little. ”

Adjutant Li kicked him away and called two people: "You guys, pull him down and beat him with thirty sticks, and then send him to guard the city gate, tell Liang Guang, I'll settle accounts with him later, get out!" ”

Then Deputy Lieutenant Li turned his head to Feng Changqing.

"I'm sorry, let you see the joke, some soldiers think that the Cangyun Army is defending the Yanmen Pass, and we will be safe and sound here, but in fact, it is still very dangerous, in case the Wolf Tooth Army comes to a surprise attack, such a soldier, what do you say? Isn't that waiting for the city to be destroyed? By the way, is there any movement in Lord Feng's Luoyang City? ”

"That's not true, we should still believe in the Cangyun Army, General Xue has this strength. Besides, it's normal for subordinates to drink, don't punish them too much, just give them a warning, so as not to offend people. It's not easy to be an official now, if you offend your superiors, you will be punished immediately, if you offend your subordinates and be hated by them, you will be in trouble if you are attacked by a secret arrow one day. ”

At this time, the patrol soldier who was punished was being supported by two people to rest, looking at the blood on his buttocks soaked in armor, Feng Changqing was also a little surprised, when he saw the patrol soldier looking at Deputy Lieutenant Li's eyes, some of them were full of hatred, but Deputy Lieutenant Li didn't care about this, and led everyone towards Xicheng.
