Chapter 167: Ready

Outside Tanzhou City, Murong Pei led a team of men and horses to hide behind a small hill and quietly watched the situation in the city.

"Prince, the one surnamed Zhao won't bluff us, right? It is too braggadocio for him to be able to take a city with just one letter. ”

"Prince, I think we are afraid that we have been tricked by him, it has been cloudy for a long time, and there has been no movement."

The evening breeze in Tanzhou brought cold, even if he was wearing thick armor, he couldn't resist the cold, and if he didn't have any opinions about Zhao Mingqi in his heart, it would be impossible.

"Don't worry, wait and see."

Murong Pei is not as calm as them, besides, he cooperated with Zhao Mingqi when he was still in Daliang, so he naturally has a certain trust in him.

"Yes, my subordinates are going to appease everyone."

Although I felt uncomfortable, my master spoke.

Now he is not only dissatisfied, but everyone also has complaints in their hearts, but they just dare not say it.

Murong Pei looked at the black gate in the distance, his eyes were squinted, and he couldn't see his emotions, and General Luo touched the ash of his nose, so that they didn't dare to show their dissatisfaction anymore.

The sky had already darkened, and even Murong Pei couldn't sit still, when there was finally movement at the city gate.

The gates, which had been closed for the past few days, opened a crack gently.

On a normal day, where would they notice such a small detail, but now, the creaking sound finally lifted their spirits.

"Prince, the door is open!"

Some generals couldn't help but stand up happily, they had waited for so long, and it was finally not in vain.

Murong Pei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, after all, there were people in Tanzhou City, if there was any accident, he would really not be able to explain.

Fortunately, Zhao Mingqi finally lived up to his expectations.

"Prince, there is news from the Li Mansion that when the city gate is opened, it will be the time for our army to enter the city."

The messenger's face was full of excitement, he admired Zhao Mingqi very much on weekdays, and now he was fortunate to help him achieve great things, and he didn't know how excited he was.

"Go and tell Master Wu, don't make any extraneous branches."

Murong Pei suppressed the joy in his heart, nodded and asked.

This person in Wuchang is anxious for quick success, if this matter is unexpected because of him, no one can afford the consequences.

Murong Pei got the order, and immediately sent someone to notify the large army to rush over, and when the gate of Tanzhou City was wide open, they rushed in together, and instantly controlled the entire Tanzhou City.

"Uncle Fang, you can notify the garrison."

Li Yuanzhi had already arranged for his eyeliner to go out at the city gate, and when he learned that Murong Pei had gotten the news, he hurriedly asked Fang Tingshi to contact the garrison.

The Tanzhou garrison is not inferior to the regular army by a few points, since the garrison army was in the hands of Fang Tingshi, he ordered the garrison to carry out a special anti-bandit operation every two months.

That is, arranging people to enter various cottages, but not to recruit peace, but to provoke their rebellion against the imperial court, so that they can become the sparring objects of the garrison.

Therefore, the bandits in Tanzhou are not as rich as other counties, but the bandits who are suppressed every two months almost have a nervous breakdown.

Later, after they figured out the chronological order of the garrison's suppression of bandits, they wanted to avoid this time, but the garrison was higher than them, and they restricted their entry and exit directly half a month before losing weight, which made them have no moves.

In this way, in less than two years, the Tanzhou garrison had a great competition in strength.

All this was Li Yuanzhi's plan, when he was in the capital, he was fortunate to attend the same banquet as Qin Tianze.

For this man who is only a few years older than himself, but makes the entire Liang proud, the admiration in his heart is simply more than a little.

At that time, Qin Tianze said that although the four countries are stable now, Mu Guo has always been a thief, and although Donglin has always looked like he has no intention of fighting for hegemony, who knows what they think? Only the remaining Jin kingdoms have always advocated living and working in peace and contentment.

Therefore, no matter which continent or county, you should be prepared for danger in times of peace, and Li Yuanzhi listened to this sentence at that time.

Although he can't get used to those things in Daliang's officialdom on weekdays, how can he say that Daliang is his hometown, and the people he cares about live in this land, how could he betray Daliang?

Zhao Mingqi will contact him, it is a complete accident, the two just met once back then, and it happened that he was complaining about his views on Daliang officialdom with his friends in the capital, and the two had similar opinions in many places, so they called each other friends.

It was only later that Li Yuanzhi learned some things about Zhao Mingqi, and only then did he know what kind of person he was behind his back, and he left the capital again, so he didn't take the initiative to deal with him again, but he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to come to the door this time.

When night fell, the people of Tanzhou City didn't know what would happen tonight, but they were notified by the assassin and the county guard, and they obediently packed up their things and went home, and turned off the lights very early to rest.

The day before yesterday, they got the news that they should go home early in the next few days, and it was better to keep their doors closed, so as not to hurt people when the Muguo army came in.

If this is placed in other counties, once such news goes down, I don't know how much panic it will cause, but in Tanzhou, such a thing will not happen, which is enough to see the control of Tanzhou City by the Li Fang family.

And the trust that the people have in them.

Everything had already been prepared, just waiting for Murong Pei to lead people into the trap.

"Thank you for your hospitality today, there is still something in the small family, so this is rude first."

The banquet in the Li Mansion had come to an end, and many officials came to ask for their resignations.

The Li family's father and son and Fang Tingshi glanced at each other, and Li Yuanzhi stood up and looked at the guests politely.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'll have to keep you for a while today, as for the reason, don't ask, you will know sooner or later."

None of the guests present knew what was going to happen next, they looked at each other, and they all saw the panic of the unknown in each other's eyes.

"Lady Lee......"

Some people are not angry, the county guard is the one who can call the shots in this Tanzhou City, how can this Li Gongzi rely on his identity as a father to restrict their freedom?

"Everyone, I know that you will definitely panic when you are suddenly stayed, but you have to believe me Li, just like you have always believed in Li, don't be impatient, stay for another hour, and Li will let you send you back to the house."

Li Junshou took a step forward, still with that personable appearance, which made people feel convinced at a glance.
