The hall was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water. Several people seemed to be asleep, and their breathing could be heard clearly.

Everyone was surprised, but silent and had different thoughts.

Li Chengzhi only commanded four states, but not six towns.

Luo Jian has arrived, and there is also the Queen Mother and Yuan Yi, the six-town Xuanfu envoy appointed by the young emperor. Therefore, Li Chengzhi should not be allowed to end this mess.

To put it bluntly, Li Chengzhi risked a narrow escape to nip the Fertile Rebellion in the bud. He was already loyal to Yuan Yi and extremely loyal to Luo Jianren, so why should he take over the thankless iron knot of "Rouran" again?
p>

If you win without much merit, you will be secretly criticized for stretching your hand too long. If you lose, "a lifetime of wisdom will be ruined"...

Luo Jian has a special status and it is difficult to speak. Yuan Zhi, as a subordinate, cannot speak. Only Yang Jun and Yuan Yi, although they are closer to Li Chengzhi, they cannot guess his thoughts for a while.

Could it be that Yuan Yi and Luo Jian have also been included in the list of suspects?

There was silence for half a word. Just when Yuan Yi was anxious and wanted to break the silence, Li Chengzhi tapped his finger gently on the case.

"When...when...when..."

The sound is clear and crisp, just like piano music played in the ancient mountains of Yukong, which is extremely refreshing.

"Don't be paranoid, I just don't want too many people to die!"

Li Chengzhi pondered for a moment, rummaged through the desk and found a map.

"When I was on the way to the city, I accidentally captured Lu Yan, a younger brother of Lu Yan, and said that nearly ten thousand cavalrymen from Rouran's Du Lun tribe had arrived at Jinhao Pass at the end of Langshan Mountain at dusk yesterday...

According to Lu Yan's plan, it was originally planned to send Lu Yao, Lu Yan and other close associates to have a secret meeting with Du Lun leader at Jinhaoguan today and give him Huai Shuo as a gift. This is the garrison and defense map of each town in Wuchuan..."<

/p>

Luo Jian stared carefully and was shocked.

More than just garrison deployment?

On the map, the number of garrisons at each pass, each county, etc., as well as the lengths of the east, west, north, and south lines of the two towns are all clearly marked.

With this map, Xisan Town is like a fat pig with its hair shaved off to Rouran people. It is clear at a glance where it is most deadly and where it is weakest.

"When Leader Du Lun gets the defense plan, he will divide his troops into three groups: one group will hide outside Jinhao Pass, and the other two groups will go to Huaishuo and Wuchuan respectively. They will not attack the city or occupy the land, but will only focus on robbery...<

/p>

When the county magistrate gathers the troops from the three towns, Du Lun's tribe will retreat to the north of Langshan. By then, the county magistrate will not be willing to let the thieves take their cattle and sheep, and they will flee to the desert, and will definitely lead the army to pursue...

”

"But when Luo comes out of the pass and goes to Langshan, the creeps hiding in Jinhaoguan will descend like magic soldiers from the sky. In this way, Luo will be attacked from both sides, and Lu Yan will inevitably switch sides suddenly and deliver a fatal blow...

…”

Luo Jian clenched his fist tightly and said, "Traitor Lu Yan, what a good plan!"

As if feeling the same emotions, Yuan Yi and Yang Jun stared at Luo Jian blankly, feeling chilled all over.

Once Luo Jian was defeated, Xisan Town naturally fell into the hands of Lu Yan. Whether it was repeating the old trick, colluding with Rouran and plotting Dongsan Town again, or echoing Yu Jing of Bogulu Town, Yuan Huai of Liangzhou, and Yu Zhongyao

, are not difficult.

At this time, the imperial court had to consider whether to pacify Yuanhuai first or settle the six towns first. At the same time, it also had to be on guard against whether there were Cui Zuchi and Lu Yan among the prefectures and counties.

No wonder Li Chengzhi repeatedly emphasized: Chaos can happen anywhere, but not in the six towns!

Yuan Yi felt regretful in his intestines: I regretted not listening to Li Chengzhi’s words and admonishing the six towns.

If he brought a lot of money and food to appease him, how could there be so many traitors attached to Lu Yan?

Fortunately, Li Chengzhi came in time...

Yuan Yi breathed out fiercely: "Now that Lu Yan has been defeated, you are forcing him to flee south, and you have sent troops to block all the roads to the north. The Du Lun tribe will not dare to act rashly without the defense plan. Therefore, Xu Xu plans

Or just run away in shock, so why do you have to rush?"

"She ran away in fright... Do you think Rouran was frightened or coaxed?"

Li Chengzhi sneered, "If you dare to enter the pass to rob, Du Lun's tribe must have been fully prepared. It is not just Lu Yan's words that can make him send thousands of cavalry into the pass.

There are probably many Rouran spies hiding in every garrison, county, and even this fertile town along the way. Therefore, the news of Lu Yan's defeat must not be hidden. However, Luo County Duke suddenly sent out troops with only two thousand soldiers.

The news that Qingqi is rushing to the fertile fields cannot be hidden... If you were the Du Lun tribe, how would you choose?"

What other choice is there, of course, escape...

The words were already on his lips, but as if there was an iron tip stuck under his tongue, Yuan Yi couldn't say a single word.

As Li Chengzhi said, the Rouran people are not to be frightened, let alone knowing that the fertile fields are in chaos, and each garrison must be in danger and must shrink its troops.

How can you be willing to do so without grabbing a handful?

Everyone finally knew what Li Chengzhi meant when he said, "There are too many people who don't want to die."

With "nearly ten thousand creeping cavalry", Luo Jian didn't dare to move lightly. He had to summon at least two to thirty thousand troops before he dared to send troops.

In addition to people, we also need to prepare food. No matter how fast it is, it will still take five to ten days.

By then, I am afraid that most of Woye Town will have become scorched earth.

Thinking about it this way, Li Chengzhi is really cleaning up Luo Jian's mess...

As if he was deeply shocked, Luo Jian's face was a little flushed and his voice was slightly hoarse: "To pacify Zhencheng, punish all Lu Yan's rebels, and eliminate the catastrophe before it happened, Luo is grateful enough. How can Luo dare to push even further? So?

If we go north to stop the enemy, Luo will do his part..."

You should indeed do your part, but you should also do it in time.

"No time!"

Li Chengzhi knocked on the table, looked at Yuan Zhi, and sighed sadly, "If the county official goes north to stop the enemy, except for the two thousand light cavalry outside the city, he can only recruit troops on the spot in the town... These two thousand Chinese troops

, I definitely can’t give it to you..."

Why not?

No one asks such stupid topics.

With the lessons learned from Lu Yan and Yuan Huan, it is commendable that Li Chengzhi can entrust the rear to Yuan Yi and Luo Jian, instead of sitting in Woye City and watching Luo Jian and Rouran suffer both losses. How can he put his own?

Are all the cards in the hands of others?

And how can the town army, which was suddenly recruited, be an opponent of nearly 10,000 creeping cavalry?

Since you don't dare to trust Luo Jian, what about me...

Yuan Yi stood up and looked at Li Chengzhi expectantly: "How about going alone?"

"You?"

Li Chengzhi smiled and shook his head, "It's better not to ignore human life!"

Yuan Yi's face turned bright red instantly, and his two rows of teeth chattered loudly.

If he hadn't known that he was no match for Li Chengzhi, he would have pounced on him long ago...

"That's it!"

Li Chengzhi clasped his fists, "The situation is imminent and we dare not delay for a moment. Therefore, at dawn tomorrow at the latest, I will send out troops. I also ask the county official to help me: the soldiers need armor and cavalry, and the food needs refined grains. The sooner the better!"

"Okay... I'll do it immediately!"

Luo Jian gritted his teeth and responded, then lowered his fists and said, "The high righteousness of the county prince went straight to Xiaohan. In one generation, 800,000 soldiers and civilians from the three towns thanked him!"

It was also called "Gaoyi" before, and it was also called "Gaoyi" at this time, but Luo Jianzhi's intention was completely different.

"As a minister, it is your duty to share your worries and protect the country and the people. The words of the county official are serious!"

Although he said this, Li Chengzhi did not stop him, but accepted the gift calmly.

Is Luo Jianyan serious?

Not really.

Without Li Chengzhi and the two thousand Chinese troops, Luo Jian would not be able to send troops until five or six days at the earliest.

And with the speed of Rouran Qingqi, he plundered the townspeople outside the fertile town, every garrison, and every pass, easily...

On the other hand, what does Li Chengzhi want?

All that is left is loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and wanting Luo Jian and Yuan Yi to accept his kindness.

If it weren't for this, Luo Jian and Yuan Yi might not even be able to sleep...

Luo Jian went to recruit troops to collect food, Yuan Yi went to pacify the townspeople, and Yuan Zhi and Yang Jun also went to settle Huben and Huqi to build food.

Li Chengzhi didn't need to worry about this. Besides, he hadn't slept much for two days and was fighting in the city. He was really tired. He was ready to sleep well all day and night.

But Luo Jian and Yang Jun came too quickly, and the blood on their bodies was not wiped clean. Not only was it sticky and uncomfortable, but a fishy smell went straight into their noses.

Li Chengzhi simply called Li Rui and Li Cong and asked the two brothers to boil water and prepare for a good bath.

After the two brothers left, Li Liang stood still, hesitant and hesitant to speak.

Li Chengzhi picked up the wine cup and took a sip: "Just tell me if you have anything to say!"
