Chapter 354: Troop Infantry Defense Map

Chu Ruoyan listened to City Lord Li's words and knew that he was just looking for an excuse to shirk his responsibilities in every possible way, and he didn't want to help these people at all in his heart.

After hearing the words of City Lord Li, these people immediately became disheartened.

"I can't get into the barracks, and there is no way to come to the City Lord's Mansion, so can we just let those bandits burn and loot us?" Several people shook their heads and sighed.

"It's not that the city lord won't help you," Chu Ruoyan suddenly spoke, rekindling the hope of these people.

"The city lord just hasn't come up with a good solution for the time being, right, City Lord Li?" After Chu Ruoyan finished speaking, he looked at City Lord Li with his eyes, and City Lord Li could not ride a tiger, so he could only nod.

"King Yan is right, this official... I'll find a way to help you. City Lord Li stubbornly promised this matter.

"In this way, if you come here again in two days, this king will definitely let City Lord Li come up with a satisfactory plan to deal with these bandits."

After hearing Chu Ruoyao's promise, this group of people left with a thousand thanks.

As soon as they left, City Lord Li knelt in front of Chu Ruoyao: "King Yan, there is really no way for the lower officials, how can you say that you want the lower officials to solve it within two days?" These bandits have been here for an unknown number of years, and they ......"

City Lord Li tried his best to find an excuse in front of Chu Ruoyao, just to prove that he was powerless about this matter at all.

"If you say that it will be solved in two days, it must be solved in two days," Chu Ruoyi's tone also hardened.

"Northern Xinjiang not only invaded the city, but also harassed the surrounding villagers, and sooner or later one day it will occupy your city lord's mansion. Don't think that being a city lord is just a name and taking some money. ”

Chu Ruoyao's words made City Lord Li sweat coldly, but his next sentence made him even more frightened.

"If you were near the capital, you would have been beheaded a long time ago."

Full of slashes? After hearing these four words, City Lord Li sat down directly on the ground.

He didn't want to be beheaded all over the place, and agreed to be the city lord of Chaoyang City, not because he felt that the emperor was far away, even if there was anything, he couldn't manage it at all, who would have thought that the emperor would send his prince to such a remote place?

"City Lord Li, don't be too nervous," Chu Ruoyan regained his smile after seeing his movements, "As long as you come up with a solution within these two days, according to this king, City Lord Li might as well go back to the house and think about countermeasures." ”

"Yes, Xia Guan understands, Xia Guan will go back now to think of countermeasures." After City Lord Li finished speaking, he crawled back to his house.

Seeing the embarrassed look he had when he left, Li Luobing couldn't help but smile: "Why did you scare City Lord Li so much?" ”

"In fact, I just told the truth, and I can only blame him for being too timid."

"Are you really planning to let City Lord Li come up with a countermeasure within these two days?" Li Luobing didn't believe that this matter would be sent away by Chu Ruoyan if it was so simple.

"Naturally, it's impossible, if he thinks of countermeasures, then Chaoyang City may be over tomorrow, I actually want this Li City Lord to pay attention to Chaoyang City."

"But what about the bandits who disturb the villagers?" After hearing such words, Li Luobing understood his intentions.

"We don't know anything about the situation right now, and if we want to know what the situation is with those bandits, we may need to go there ourselves." Chu Ruoyan said after thinking about it.

"In person?"

"In a few days, we will go to Marshal Shen to discuss with him, so that we can still have some people in the barracks, disguised as ordinary villagers, and go to stay in that village for a while, so that we can find out the laws of those bandits in the northern frontier."

If they go to that village with great fanfare, they will definitely be discovered by those bandits in the northern Xinjiang, and they will probably not come for a long time, in that case, they will have no way to eliminate those people, and they can only disguise themselves as villagers and let them fall into their trap without paying attention.

"What if the bandits come while we're in the village?" Although Li Luobing thinks this method is good, it has a certain danger.

"That's why we have to discuss with Marshal Shen, prepare a team of soldiers to deal with the infestation of these bandits, if the bandits don't come, it's fine, if they do, let Yang Zhen go and inform those barracks in time. As for some of the people in the village, we can only protect them temporarily. ”

Chu Ruoyan roughly told Li Luobing about the entire planning process, unlike what he came up with on the spot, it was only after long-term consideration and planning that he came to such a conclusion.

"Actually, you already had this plan in mind, didn't you? The words that Fang just said to City Lord Li were also deliberate. ”

"Of course, City Lord Li should have trouble sleeping and eating these days."

Chu Ruoyao was right, City Lord Li had been fidgeting since he returned to his room, sometimes sitting on the bed, sometimes pacing back and forth in the room, and even the servants who were waiting beside him were a little dazzled.

"City Lord, you have been frowning since the beginning, and you are walking around the house, what is the matter with it?

”

"It's not something to be embarrassed," City Lord Li paused, "It's something that can't be done at all!" King Yan and Princess Yan actually asked me to come up with a strategy to deal with those bandits in the northern Xinjiang within two days! ”

City Lord Li said angrily, although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to refuse, so he could only hold this anger to himself.

"In two days?" After hearing this deadline, the servant's eyes widened, he had been serving by the side of City Lord Li for so long, and he also knew that he was a person with a few catties and a few taels, and if he said that within two days, even if he was given more than a month, he might not be able to figure it out.

"If I really can't think of it for two days, then this City Lord's Mansion will live in someone else, and I may have to roll up the cover and go home directly."

Thinking of this consequence, City Lord Li was a hundred unwilling in his heart, although he was forced to become the city lord at the beginning, but after becoming the city lord, there was nothing to take care of, and his life was comfortable and nourishing. He was used to this kind of life, and it was impossible for him to go back to the way he was.

"This ......," the servant hesitated, "City Lord, what are you going to do for these two days?" If you don't think of it in two days......" Although the servant did not say the second half of the sentence, his heart was full of worry.

"You ask me, who do I ask? How could I possibly know! City Lord Li yelled at the servant angrily.

He thought about it for more than an hour, but he didn't come up with any countermeasures, so he could only rest for a while.

He had slept very soundly in the City Lord's Mansion before, but tonight he tossed and turned, and he didn't close his eyes until it was almost dawn. Before he could sleep for a few hours, he was called up by Chu Ruoyao to look at the troop deployment map of Chaoyang City.

"City Lord Li doesn't seem to have a good rest? How does it look listless? Chu Ruoyan looked at the yawning City Lord Li and said.

After hearing Chu Ruoyao's words, Li Luobing smiled inwardly, who is to blame for City Lord Li not resting? It's not that he blames him for putting so much pressure on City Lord Li.

"Thank you Your Highness for your concern, Your Highness is just a little tired."

City Lord Li held back the yawn he wanted to make just now, he held back the sleepiness in his heart and answered Chu Ruoyao's question.

He didn't dare to tell the truth, his appearance was completely caused by Chu Ruoyao's words or two.

"It's okay if you're tired, wait for City Lord Li to get used to it after a few more days."

After hearing Chu Ruoyao's words, City Lord Li felt like he had been hit on the head, he thought that this matter that made him think of ideas would be torturous enough, listening to his tone, there might be more troublesome things in the future.

"City Lord Li, did you hear what this king said?" When he was distracted, Chu Ruoyu deliberately asked.

"The lower official is guilty, so I didn't hear what King Yan was saying." He hurriedly apologized to Chu Ruoyao.

As a result, Chu Ruoyan smiled at City Lord Li after hearing it: "That's this king lied to you, in fact, this king didn't say anything just now." ”

"King Yan is really joking." City Lord Li's hand just stretched out to make amends, but in the end he could only slowly take it back.

"Don't say anything else, let's take a look at the troop map of Chaoyang City! In this way, it is better to take some specific measures to protect the safety of the people. ”

As Chu Ruoyao spoke, she ordered Guo Dong next to her to spread out a long map directly and put it on the table.

Troop deployment map? I've been in Chaoyang City for so long, and it's the first time I've heard of such a thing. After hearing what Chu Ruoyao said, City Lord Li glanced at the table, and sure enough, he saw a scroll of maps.

This is marked with the large and small city gates of Chaoyang City, as well as the surrounding villages and towns, as well as some post stations and fortresses, every detail is marked very clearly, and even the rivers in the surrounding woods are also marked.

"This is the City Lord's Mansion, this is the barracks." Chu Ruoyan pointed to two locations on the map, one south and one north, and said.

The City Lord's Mansion was in the deepest part of Chaoyang City, and the barracks were the closest to the city gate, so they could be dispatched at any time in case of an enemy attack.

Hearing Chu Ruoyan tell him the location of the City Lord's Mansion, City Lord Li hurriedly lowered his head to look for it, and looked at the map for a long time before finding the location of the City Lord's Mansion.

"This king has just told the location of the City Lord's Mansion, can't City Lord Li still find it?" Li Luobing, who was next to him, knew when he watched City Lord Li act like this. He didn't even pay attention to the map.

"Xiaguan is stupid," City Lord Li scratched his head a little embarrassed, "Xiaguan really can't understand the things on these pictures." ”

Chu Ruoyan slapped the table violently, causing City Lord Li to tremble immediately.
