Desert Lizhou

After passing through the desert, you will reach the territory of the Xia Kingdom, and after the unremitting efforts of the people of the two countries for a long time, this desert may disappear in the near future.

Xia Guo is waiting for this time to come, and now may be the best time.

The map clearly marks the cities and defenses of Lizhou, as well as many secret posts and bunkers, on which the approximate troop deployment is written.

"Where did you get this map?" Luo Shanhe rolled up the map and put it away, if it was obtained by the Xia Kingdom, it would only be a matter of time before Lizhou was captured.

Liu Ke looked embarrassed, and after a few people walked out of the village and found a secluded place, he opened his mouth to reveal his secrets.

Liu Ke, who was on duty in Lizhou Mansion, as the prefect's confidant, also participated in the most secret things.

"On that day, I saw that a Xia Guoren came to the mansion and conspired with the prefect, and even the housekeeper beside him failed to participate. Along the way, he avoided the official road of the city and went to Lizhou City.

There are eight large cities in Lizhou, which stand on the frontier fortresses, forming a natural barrier to protect the territory of the Liang Kingdom.

When I came to Lizhou City, I didn't rush to see the prefect, but first walked through the alley and came to an ordinary house.

"Lord Luo, don't come unharmed. "There were a few people in the house who were drinking tea, and when they saw someone coming in, they got up and saluted.

It was Huang Siye who came back from Lizhou first, and it was only in the past two days that he arrived, and as soon as he returned to Lizhou City, he smelled something strange in the city.

All the turmoil that happens in Lizhou will spread somewhere in the rivers and lakes, and Huang Siye is one of the most prestigious people, so he naturally learned about it.

"I'm afraid that Lizhou is going to change the sky, and it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Xia Guo is going to send troops to my Lizhou in the near future, and it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the prefect of Lizhou and Xia Guo are colluding and want to put on a good show. Huang Siye said.

Sure enough, there is something, it seems that the prefect of Lizhou has colluded with the high-ranking officials in the court, and he tried his best to block it along the way, just to prevent me from seizing power.

Everything in the prince's fiefdom, including the people, belongs to the prince's personal belongings, and Lizhou did not have a prince before, but there was a king of Wen in the future.

The truth that the emperor is far away, the prefect still knows a lot, and in the years when the prefect has been greedy, he has been greedy for money, and even the pavilions and pavilions built by the city lord's mansion are not a few points worse than the palace.

"What are the knights going to do? I need people right now. Luo Shanhe sat down and spread out the map again.

According to the marks of the defense map, the best route to attack is to occupy Daocheng along Xiemapo, and then use this as a stronghold to pry open Jiading City, Jiading City is broken, and Lizhou City is in front of you.

Holding Daocheng is the key to the war, if it is really a rebellion, now Jiading City is afraid that there will be new people.

After all, Daocheng is still a little far away, it is a real frontier fortress, and the soldiers defending the city in it are directly transferred by the imperial city, not under the control of the prefect of Lizhou.

If you want to send Lizhou out, you must pass the Daocheng pass, and the most urgent thing at the moment is to get in touch with the Daocheng guard Wen Dark.

"What we can convene is quite limited, but if Lord Luo ascends to the heights, presumably the entire Lizhou rivers and lakes will be moved by the wind. Huang Siye said with a smile, don't worry about manpower, there will be friends familiar with Daocheng to deliver the letter.

Even if you write a letter, the knight who is quick with his legs and feet will rush to the direction of Daocheng as soon as possible.

After the typhoon wave in the Imperial City, the matter of the Luoshan River had already spread in Lizhou, and if it weren't for his guidance, these knights would have died inside.

Affection and righteousness are valued, and the friends who are identified will never betray.

Hearing that Luoshanhe was canonized as King Wen and led the realm of Lizhou, the knights were all happy, and there would be eyeliner waiting for King Wen outside Lizhou City every day.

While we were talking, hundreds of people had gathered outside the house, respectfully waiting for the people in the room to come out.

"I already know the matter, and if it is not yet confirmed, everyone should be calm and patient. ”

Luo Shanhe pushed the door out, put his hands behind his back, walked out slowly, and was shocked to see this heroic man in the courtyard.

"You organize first, spread the news, and say that a treasure appraisal meeting will be organized in two days, and the location will be outside the prefect of Lizhou. ”

It was cloudy for a while, and after converging Ma Yue, he found that there were five hundred more armor soldiers behind the other party.

"Where did this armor come from?"

"The second prince sent it to us. Although Ma Yue was puzzled, but now was the time when he needed this force the most, and after verifying his identity, he brought it over.

Will the second prince do such a good thing? Luo Shanhe thought about it, thinking of Su Mu's Yanxiang Pavilion, being able to open a brothel in the most prosperous and expensive place, presumably with the support of others behind him.

This person may be Shu Niangniang, the city is quite deep, and he has to guard against it.

"It just so happens that we are short of manpower, so we will arrange a place for them as soon as possible. "I picked twenty of the most clever ones and followed Ma Yue into the mansion.

The surname of the prefect of Lizhou is Liu, and it is said that he has some kinship with the prime minister of the current dynasty, so he became the prefect of Lizhou.

"Governor Liu, it's polite. ”

"King Wen, when we met for the first time, I didn't expect to be so young, I came from afar and never went out to greet him, disrespectful, disrespectful, hahahaha!"

The superficially false polite words continued into the evening banquet, during which officials from all over Lizhou took turns to toast.

"I didn't expect King Wen to have a lot of admiration. "This Liu Zhifu is a well-known drunkard, and he often throws a big banquet and gets drunk.

"On Changning Street in Lizhou, a mansion has just been built, which is not used by anyone, so let's use it as King Wen's mansion for the time being. ”

"I also need 200 family members, 30 concubines, and quickly arrange to build a new prince's mansion here, I like mountains and rivers. Luo Shanhe stretched out his hand and nodded on the map hanging in the hall.

It is still a short distance from the city of Lizhou, and it is a flat land between the mountains and rivers.

"I didn't expect the prince to be so Yaxing, what else do you have today, I will do my best. ”

"Bring me some good wine every day, I know you have good wine. Luo Shanhe deliberately pretended to be drunk and left the banquet early, and he could see every move during the banquet clearly.

The unnatural expressions and evasive glances of the officials, and the flickering shadows in the dim shadows of the lights, it seems that things are really not simple.

His actions were showing weakness to the prefect and letting the other party understand that he, the prince, was a man with no ambitions.

After the banquet dispersed, he immediately went to the courtyard of the new house on Changning Street, and the five hundred sergeants were immediately on guard to drive away the spies from all over the place, and Liu Fatzi was almost unconscious when he was drunk, and he only read Huangkou Xiaoer in his mouth.

"This fat man, such a waste, Lizhou is in his hands, and it is only a matter of time before it is broken. Meng Changge was in the room, and naturally saw all kinds of performances at the banquet, although he had not been in contact with officialdom, he would not be so corrupt.

"You know better than me about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and I will leave it to you if I call them together," Luo Shanhe lit the lamp tonight and wrote a letter, and the knights who came in from the roof took the letter away and sent it to the people outside.

Tonight's moonlight is exceptionally bright, almost indistinguishable from daylight, and can clearly illuminate the walking path.

Governor Liu snored loudly in the room, this city has nothing to do with him, and when he wakes up tomorrow, it will be another good weather.

The soldiers under his command are also virtuous, and there is no war to fight all year round, which leads to their neglect of training, and the military regulations have long been forgotten, drinking and having fun all day long, and even the people who sneak out of the city gate are not seen.

One letter after another flew out of the city gates on all sides, and one of them was sent to General Wen in Daocheng.

"King Wen has arrived?" General Wen is burly, although this person is full of meat, but his mind is delicate, he has been guarding Daocheng for decades, and has experienced hundreds of large and small frictions, without a single defeat, and is called "General Chang Sheng" by Xia Guo.

Seeing the brief words in the letter, General Wen smiled.

The letter wrote: The prefect of Lizhou has committed treason, His Majesty has sent me to do something, and the large-scale attack of the Xia State is just around the corner, and the general decides on his own. - Written by King Wen himself

"Come on, prepare for the horse! Go to Jiading City!"

With the spread of these words, the entire Daocheng was like a sleeping giant beast, suddenly awakened, and began to act quickly, countless soldiers quickly lined up, although it was night, but the speed of the army's assembly was not slow at all.

Only soldiers on the battlefield who are strictly trained can do it at night without removing their armor and waiting for the day, and this Daocheng soldier is exactly like this.
