Chapter 355: A Plan to Deal with the Bandits

"If you don't understand it, you can understand it after reading it a few more times, does City Lord Li think that what this king said is right?"

"Yes, of course yes, what you said is indeed right, King Yan." City Lord Li nodded hurriedly, and pretended to understand the map and looked at it, for fear that Chu Ruoyan would make trouble for him because he couldn't read the map.

While the two of them were looking at the map, Li Luobing was also carefully observing the locations on the map.

The environment in which Chaoyang City is located is indeed very vulnerable to the invasion of northern Xinjiang, with rivers and dense forests, and villages scattered in the woods and mountains, and the people of these villages are the people of Chaoyang City, and the people of these villages are the people of Chaoyang City.

In comparison, only a small part of the people living in the city lived, and nearly half of the people lived outside the city.

As a city bordering northern Xinjiang, Chaoyang City is indeed very vulnerable to the invasion of northern Xinjiang people, since the beginning of this city fell here, the friction between northern Xinjiang and Mingyue is not very constant, this friction has intensified in recent years.

"Does City Lord Li know which village those people came from?"

After hearing Li Luobing's words, City Lord Li shook his head: "If Princess Hui Yan speaks, the lower officials don't know which village they belong to. ”

After City Lord Li finished speaking, he lowered his head, he was a little weak-hearted, for fear that Chu Ruoyan would take this sentence as a handle

Li Luobing looked at Chu Ruoyao, these people didn't make it clear when they came, and now they left in a hurry, and there was no way to find out who it was.

"You can go to the barracks and inquire about which villages have been infested by bandits recently, so won't the problem be solved?"

But those people have already said that when the people from the north come to invade and occupy it, they can only watch it, and there are no soldiers to protect them.

"Then let's ignore them for now, and let's see where the soldiers in the barracks are, right? Chu Ruoyao pointed to the map and said.

"The lower official has something I want to ask the prince."

"City Lord Li, please speak." Chu Ruo replied without raising his head.

"The matter of this military deployment has always been related to the barracks, how can King Yan have this deployment map?" City Lord Li still has a little knowledge, and he knows such an important secret, which cannot be easily leaked.

"Why does this king have this defense map?" Chu Ruoyan asked rhetorically, and after hearing his words, City Lord Li nodded.

"Naturally, Marshal Shen personally gifted this defense map to this king."

Gifting? After hearing his words, City Lord Li was suspicious for a while, feeling that it was impossible for such a confidential thing to be achieved through gifts.

Once the troop deployment map falls into the hands of the enemy, then they themselves will be completely at a disadvantage, how can they give such an important thing?

"Why, doesn't City Lord Li believe it? If you don't believe it, you can ask Marshal Shen directly in a while. ”

"Why do you ask Marshal Shen later?" City Lord Li was a little uneasy after hearing Chu Ruoyao's words.

"Since it is a troop deployment map, it involves the matter of the barracks, and it should be the marshal who should speak."

When City Lord Li saw Chu Ruoyao's smile, he had a bad premonition in his heart, he slowly twisted his head towards the door, and sure enough, he saw Marshal Shen standing there with a serious face.

I didn't expect this Yan King to call Marshal Shen to the City Lord's Mansion, but Marshal Shen was quite reluctant to have any contact with the City Lord's Mansion before.

"I've seen the city lord below." Marshal Shen didn't even bend his waist, but just arched his hand at Lord Li.

City Lord Li was already speechless when he saw Marshal Shen, but now he ignored himself after seeing him salute, but felt relieved for a while.

"Since Marshal Shen is here, hurry up and sit down, we are all waiting for you to talk about this defense map," Chu Ruoyu forgot to glance at City Lord Li, who had a very low sense of presence next to him, "And this defense map, City Lord Li doesn't believe that you gave it to this king at all, Marshal." ”

Hearing Chu Ruoyao say this, City Lord Li quickly shook his head, and regretted it very much in his heart, why did he say this sentence just now, but now he has provoked two people at once.

Hearing Chu Ruoyao say that the City Lord Li next to him was suspicious of this defense map, Marshal Shen turned around and looked at him with a serious face.

"This map is indeed given to King Yan by Ben Shuai, King Yan came to Chaoyang City to solve the crisis in Northern Xinjiang, is there any problem with handing over the defense map?"

"No, no, no, no......" City Lord Li hurriedly shook his head, he just questioned it, but found that he was still wrong, this defense map is the most suitable in Chu Ruoyao's hands.

"No problem, Ben Shuai continued." After talking about City Lord Li, Marshal Shen focused his attention on the defense map, and before he could speak, he saw that Li Luobing on the side was also looking at the map seriously.

After feeling Marshal Shen's gaze, Li Luobing raised his head.

"Why didn't Marshal Shen continue?"

"The subordinates think it's ......"

"Remember the words of this king, don't underestimate Princess Yan." Chu Ruoyu guessed his thoughts as soon as he opened his mouth, and it was nothing more than a suspicion that Li Luobing couldn't read the defense map at all.

Marshal Shen also knew that he was wrong after hearing Chu Ruoyao's words, so he gave Li Luobing an apologetic look and continued to discuss the deployment of Chaoyang City with Chu Ruoyao.

"If the prince wants to send a whole team of troops under him, it is basically impossible," Marshal Shen pointed to several places on the map, "These places are the focus of Chaoyang City's defense, and every time the people from the northern Xinjiang come, these places will be greatly impacted." ”

Chu Ruoyu looked at the places under Marshal Shen, indeed as he said, these places are indeed important, if the people from the northern Xinjiang came here when they left, it was likely that Chaoyang City would be directly occupied.

"Isn't there any other way for the prince?" Marshal Shen was very embarrassed.

"The way, this king has already asked City Lord Li to think about it." After Chu Ruoyu finished saying this, he looked at City Lord Li, who was speechless on the side. When he saw that the eyes of both of them were looking at him, City Lord Li took a few steps back in embarrassment.

"Xia Guan is still thinking, still thinking." He said with a smile on his face as he looked at the two of them.

"Since City Lord Li hasn't come up with any good methods yet, then let's not ask for now." Listening to Chu Ruoyao's words, City Lord Li knew that he had escaped this time, and it seemed that this Yan King was just deliberately scaring himself a few days ago.

City Lord Li, who had figured out what Chu Ruoyan meant, breathed a sigh of relief, and finally felt that he could sleep peacefully, and even his posture of sitting back was much more relaxed.

He sat in the back, listening to Chu Ruoyan and Marshal Shen discussing the matter of entering the village together, and felt that this would not involve him at all, so he became very comfortable.

"King Yan, you still need to think carefully about the time you will enter the village," Marshal Shen said to Chu Ruoyan after reading the map.

"We can't be sure when the people from the north will enter the village, and if they don't go for a month or two, are we going to stay in the village for a month or two?"

Marshal Shen's worries are very reasonable, as a commander, it is already very difficult for him to agree to Chu Ruoyi to go to the village together, if he will be delayed in the village for too long, then he will have no way to accept it.

"It won't be too long, and the king thinks they'll be there in the near future." Chu Ruoqi squinted her eyes and said.

Listening to Chu Ruoyao's conclusive words, Marshal Shen was very suspicious in his heart: "I don't know why the prince concluded that they will go to the village in the near future?" ”

"There is a shortage of materials in northern Xinjiang, and if you go to the village to harass you, you just want to rob some items, such as silver, food and other things. Recently, the grain is about to be harvested, and this is the best time for Northern Xinjiang to enter the village, if I were the commander of Northern Xinjiang, I would also command them to grab food at this time. ”

Chu Ruoyao's words only felt incredible in the ears of the people around him, but they were taken for granted.

When Li Luobing was still puzzled, Marshal Shen had already taken the lead in agreeing with Chu Ruoyao's opinion. In fact, he also analyzed it from the perspective of the commander of the first army, and felt that this was indeed very reasonable.

"Then I'm going to ask City Lord Li to help next." Chu Ruoyan turned his head to look at City Lord Li next to him.

"Don't dare to be, if King Yan has any orders, just say it, and the lower officials will do their best to do it."

"It's not a trouble, I just want you to go and talk to the village chief about this matter."

"Okay...... What the? City Lord Li didn't think about it at first, and agreed, but later he realized that the person who was going to the village was actually himself.

"This king said that the matter of communicating with the chief of the village will be handed over to the city lord Li, if this matter can be successfully resolved, then this king will also be when you have already solved this matter, and the two-day period will naturally no longer exist."

After hearing Chu Ruoyao's words, City Lord Li gritted his teeth: "Xiaguan understands, Xiaguan will go and solve it in person." ”

After Chu Ruoya explained some more things to City Lord Li, City Lord Li called a few people to go out of Chaoyang City with him.

"Yang Zhen," Chu Ruoyu called him to his side, "It's been very unpeaceful outside recently, you send a few people to follow City Lord Li, in case you encounter people from Northern Xinjiang, you must protect their safety." ”

"My subordinates understand." After Yang Zhen arched his hand, he left in the direction of City Lord Li.

After he left, it took Chu Ruoyan and Marshal Shen another half an hour before finally finalizing this matter. Although Marshal Shen had no way to prepare a whole team of soldiers, he had prepared more than half of them, which could be regarded as barely meeting Chu Ruoyao's requirements.
