Chapter 56: New News
"Miss, news has come from the south that thousands of Dingyi troops are coming in the direction of Tongcheng in two parts, front and back. Moreover, it was Chu Yangguan who personally led the troops. ”
This sentence brought Wen back to his senses, there are still many things in Tongcheng that have not yet been dealt with, and the things to be done will be done first before others.
Now at this moment, it is really inexplicable that the Dingyi army is coming. Nanchu is now at a critical juncture, and it is impossible to take the initiative to turn defense into attack with Beiyu at this time. Moreover, when the Liangzhou army was still there, Southern Chu did not dare to act like this, and now that Liangzhou has fallen into the hands of Beiyu, Southern Chu should stabilize the defense line, and Gongwei Lianzhou is.
Then the Dingyi army probably did not want to cross Tongcheng to Liangzhou, but should have come straight to Tongcheng.
But it is even more strange to think about it this way, such an action in Nanchu needs to be ordered, but the two people from Lianzhou did not mention this matter.
Or maybe they don't even know it, or maybe it's Dingyi's military doing it privately.
Although the Dingyi army in Chuyang Pass was brave and good at fighting, they were in Southern Chu, which was quite similar to the situation of the Liangzhou army in David. Sending troops without an order may provoke greater rights and wrongs.
It is only related to Tang Mingyi that he can let Chu Yangguan take so many unnecessary risks to send troops privately, but it is impossible for him to know that Tang Mingyi is dead.
Then there is an appointment.
There are only two people left in the Southern Chu Kingdom who can mobilize troops and horses, and they are none other than Ling Guangjun and Tang Xianyao.
It is impossible for Chu Yangguan to obey Tang Xianyao's transfer, so only Ling Guangjun is left, but what Ling Guangjun is planning, Wen really can't guess.
Thinking about it, it may have been arranged by Tang Mingyi after discussing with him earlier.
It took many more days to review this time than the first one, and it was impossible to verify whether Chu Yangguan's dispatch of troops this time had been arranged earlier, or because she had changed something.
But either way, such a big move is probably not good.
After pondering for a while, he didn't have a good deal to deal with for the time being, so he first asked Wen Liang: "How long will it take for the Dingyi army to arrive in Tongcheng?" ”
"They didn't carry any baggage, and at the current rate, they should arrive around tomorrow at the latest." Wen Liang replied.
"Then we still have time, let's deal with the affairs in the city first." lest they have to deal with the Dingyi army and tie their hands and feet later. ”
Things have been arranged a long time ago.
Let Liu Zhu'an enter Lianzhou first, and he naturally has a set of rhetoric that has been prepared a long time ago to send to Tang Xianyao. Even if he can't gain Tang Xianyao's trust, he has to rely on Tang Mingyi's corpse to gain a firm foothold in Lianzhou.
And the misfortune that the person who pretended to be the driver of the department thought of it, and naturally thought of a solution to it.
After that, once Liu Shu settled down in Lianzhou, it would be very reasonable to take his relatives over.
However, Lianzhou has a huge number of personnel, and it is impossible to let the 6,000 Liangzhou troops go over together, at most let the secret guards go together.
For the rest, no matter who comes to Tongcheng in the future to be the new Taishou, the mountain bandits outside the city will not be replaced.
It's just that there is a gap between Dingyi County, and it is inconvenient to contact after all. This time, the Dingyi army came, maybe there was some way to solve this matter.
Next, it is necessary to solve the disaster on the side of Tongcheng.
Thinking of this, Wen Gu said: "Because of me, I am worried about you, and now I have been delayed for a lot of time, Li Mao still needs to rest, and he will ask Zhou Dutong to do it." ”
Zhou Tongying said: "Don't worry, eldest lady, I will definitely be more secure than Li Mao." ”
Wen was too lazy to joke with him, and was about to continue the arrangement with Wen Liang, but Wen Liang spoke first: "Miss, there is one more thing." The city gate officials were supposed to return to Li Mao, but as soon as they were sent to him, Li Mao's people turned here. ”
"Uncle Wen, you say."
"At noon today, there was some chaos at the East City Gate, and someone cut the bags of rice we sent into the city, causing a riot among the homeless, and Xu Zhongyan took advantage of the chaos to enter the city."
Wen Su originally listened indifferently, but when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Take advantage of the chaos to enter the city? Did you just come in? Didn't make a noise? ”
Wen Liang didn't think there was anything wrong with the eldest lady's surprise, the matter of the driving department had not been solved before, and he had to deal with the Dingyi army that was galloping. Xu Zhongyan blended into the city at this time, which was really out of place.
"Yes, today the south city gate is going to prepare for Liu Zhi to go out of the city, and everyone went to the east city gate, and caught up with the riot, and the city gate officials made a mistake in the chaos." Wen Liang replied.
"I'm afraid this riot was also caused by Xu Zhongyan." "Since they all infiltrated the city, how did they find out?" ”
"That's what's weird." Wen Liang handed over the booklet, it was the official registration list, and he had already turned to one of the pages, and directly asked Wen Gu to take it and look at it, "The city gate officials didn't ask and check carefully, and they didn't even look at the road guide, Xu Zhongyan could have registered his name and origin indiscriminately, and he was confused. I remember my real name. ”
Looking at the roster, there were indeed a few pieces of sloppy writing, which were difficult for others to identify. But if you think about the word "Xu Zhongyan" and recognize it again, you can see the true form. It's just that I can't understand the others, it's nothing more than recognizing a "Lianzhou" and then recognizing a "Qianlong County", that's it.
However, in addition to Xu Zhongyan, there are two other groups of characters that are also scribbled.
Wen Liang saw that the eldest lady's gaze was on the other two words, so he said again: "Xu Zhongyan didn't enter the city alone, I'm afraid there are two people who came with him, but I don't know why I don't know why, this roster is not easy to copy, so I can only take it to some old officials in the city to see." ”
Xu Zhongyan this time is not only inconsistent in time from the original time, but also changes in the way he enters the city. I don't know if he has injuries on his body.
"He obviously had the opportunity to quietly enter the city, but he still remembered his name, no one would really be so honest, right?" Wen Gu smiled and said, "He wants us to know that he is coming, but he can't let us know immediately, let alone be detained by the city gatekeepers, just wait until we enter the city, and then let us look for him." ”
Wenliang nodded in agreement.
The only person in the city who is now related to Xu Zhongyan is the person who pretended to be the driving department, and that person was ordered by Tang Xianyao to protect Xu Zhongyan.
Thinking about it like this, maybe this Xu Saburo is here to find this person.
"Uncle Wen, since Xu Zhongyan has entered the city, then our previous calculations have to be changed, Li Mao is not here, and then we will find a suitable person to pass on to the driver, only to say that Liu Zhu's aunt has something to see."
Wen Liang responded and wanted to leave, and Zhou Tong was also ready to go out with him.
But he listened to Wen Gu and added: "Xu Zhongyan wants to enter the city like this, no matter what, he can't stop it, don't punish the city gate officials heavily." ”
Wen Liang knew it, answered it, and said goodbye.
