When he was in the capital, he had just taken over this job and discussed the grain transport route with many colleagues in the Transportation Department, the "Desheng Town" that was specially marked was noticed by Li Ling and the others.

Because of its location and its own characteristics that are almost unpredictable.

Desheng Town is located between the two states of Yunba, and is on the necessary road to the official road. As long as it is transported by military rations, it will inevitably pass by it, unless it is changed to another more rugged and difficult road. The terrain here is too wide and is surrounded by plains. If there are really Guirong people riding their horses, they can almost capture the town in a short time and cut off the entire grain road.

This town that is beneficial to attack but not defending, but is located in a key position is the weakness of the grain garrison. However, after some consideration by Li Ling, he finally decided to set a key point here to transport military rations from all directions. The solution he gave at that time was: "Since there is no danger here to defend, then we will create a danger ourselves!"

Now, he finally came to Desheng Town for the first time. Looking at this quiet and peaceful town, he was a little excited. He immediately rushed the horse to run forward quickly, and after a moment he arrived at the entrance of the town, and then he saw many vigilant gazes looking at them in a panic.

It was dinner in the town, and many families were busy cooking, while some hardworking people were farming in the dry land outside the town. But when they saw such a large team coming quickly, they stopped what they were doing and looked over with some anxiety.

A gray-haired old man even greeted the town entrance with a cane, accompanied by two middle-aged men. While saluting, he asked carefully: "Are you all the government troops?"

"That's right, the old man doesn't have to panic. This official Li Ling just led the team through the town today, thinking about resting for one night and looking around at the same time." Li Ling rode his horse into the town, then quickly rolled off his horse and replied with a smile. At this time, the others stopped in front of the town and waited for Li Ling to negotiate with him.

"It turns out to be Lord Li, I'm disrespectful." Perhaps Li Ling's kind attitude played a role, or when he saw that other soldiers were quite regular, the old man relaxed a little, and there was a smile on his face. "I have seen Lord Zhuchuan and all the generals... It is naturally our blessing to come to My Desheng Town, but..." He turned around and looked at the town with only dozens of buildings. "Our town has few people and few houses, so I'm afraid I can't entertain these many military officials."

"It's okay, I will let them stay on the street and will never affect the people in the town. But I also have a request, hoping that someone in the town can take us around nearby so as to understand the terrain here."

"Of course there is no problem with this, please come in and ask." The old man was completely relieved, so he attracted Li Ling and others into the town, and invited them into the only small inn in the town and sat down and talked.

During this period, the people in the town finally felt relieved. Except for a small number of people who were still looking at this team that was far more than the entire town's population, the others also retreated home to have dinner. As for the streets in the town, they were occupied by temporary military tents. Since they entered the town, they naturally had to settle here and no longer sleep in the wild.

Although Li Ling mentioned that he would not disturb the people or eat the local people's food, the inn here still prepared a few dishes and a few pancakes for them, which was also a treat and delight.

Li Ling did not refuse, but just gave half of it to the old man and the two sons he brought with him. As for being polite and still being prepared, it is hard to say.

After eating something together, especially when the grain transport team also cooked and delivered broth, the relationship between the two parties became one step closer and became more casual in their conversation.

"Is the old man the elder mayor of this town?"

"That's right, it's also the villagers who are so kind to me, so I let me take care of some things."

"Then you must have been born and raised here? But I wonder how much do you know about this Desheng Town?"

"What the adults said is that the young old man is nearly 60 years old. Except for a few times when he has been to Bazhou, he has been staying in the town. It is thirty or fifty miles around, and the young old man is almost very familiar."

"That's great. I'm going to ask for advice. If the government wants to set up a city here, do you think it's better to expand the town to the original scale, or to choose another place?" Li Ling immediately became interested and asked quickly.

Zhu Chuan was stunned and said vaguely: "This little old man has no such knowledge. However, judging from the current situation in my town, if you really want to build a city, of course it is better to build the original site. After all, it is convenient to be next to the official road. Of course, the government naturally has the idea of ​​the government, and may see further and more thoroughly than the old man."

Li Ling looked at him with a smile: "I am so modest, so you have a very clever understanding. Indeed, it is more convenient to expand this place than choosing another place to build a city. And in that way, the people in the town can live a better life."

"Haha, what the lord said."

"By the way, do you know the origin of this Desheng Town?" Li Ling suddenly glanced at the townsmen in front of him and asked casually.

Because he was looking at one of the old man's sons, it was hard for others to speak, but when he saw him stammering, he shook his head ashamed: "Sir, forgive me, the common people don't know."

Fortunately, his father quickly said, "Sir, I'm blaming me. I didn't mention this to him since I was a child. Now there are not many people in the town who know the origin of our Desheng Town. This is what my grandfather told me about. Now I don't know much in the town. That's an old story when Emperor Taizu went to fight against the Liao people who were entrenched here.

"At that time, our Dayue Tian Army was blocked in Bazhou. Taizu led his troops to live here. He was unable to conquer the city for a long time, but he was not discouraged. Finally, a military advisor was given a plan, and then the river water outside Bazhou City poured back into the city, broke the outer wall, and took the city.

"As a result, Emperor Taizu was quite happy. Because it was a great victory for the troops stationed in this town, he named this town Desheng Town."

"So that's the case, I've been taught." Li Ling said, and raised his glass and toasted the old man, which made him flattered and quickly drank the wine in the glass.

Then Li Ling asked the other party about the surrounding geographical features, and Zhu Chuan did not dare to hide it, and told him truthfully. It can be seen that he was indeed familiar with every grass and tree around him. As for his two sons, he didn't know whether it was a panic or a dull relationship, so he almost didn't say a few words.

As for the others in the town, they stayed at home even more peacefully after dark, not even showing their faces.

After Li Ling had a full meal here and heard some news, he let the old man go back with satisfaction, and simply stayed in the inn. After all, compared to military tents, it is still more comfortable to live in such an inn, right?

After the first update, the whole town fell into tranquility.

Perhaps because of being in the town, this time, even the guards were cut off by half. A team of only a dozen people were still dozing around the bonfire. Everyone else got into the tent and fell asleep.

At the third update, the town was still peaceful, but outside the town, many dark shadows had begun to gather on the plain.

This time, the bandits gathered were no longer those in Jinzhou villages who were unable to go to the table and did not have many threats, but were all disheveled and ragged, but with fierce eyes, just like foreign cavalry like hungry wolf and wild leopard staring at prey.

They were the soldiers of Guirong who were disbanded in battles and could only roam on the mountains, but could not return to the grasslands of Mobei for a while.

Although their lives were miserable due to various concerns and almost couldn't eat enough for a few days, their cruel side did not fade away, but instead became a step further. And their weapons and horses were not discarded. At this time, under the guidance of a certain force, these people continued to gather from the mountains within two or three hundred miles of radius and surrounded this small town from all sides.

The Guirong cavalry, which had almost more than two thousand people, had already formed a four-sided encirclement of Desheng Town in silence. Everything was ready to go, just waiting for the force to send a signal!

At this time, the town was still quiet, and I had no idea that it had become the flesh on the chopping board, and the knife was already on the neck.

But at this moment, several figures suddenly emerged from the darkness, extremely careful, but familiarly passed through the streets covered with military tents, and leaned towards the inn in the center of the town like a lonely soul.

When passing by the vigil soldiers guarding in front of the bonfire, the figures unconsciously slowed down, and a few cold lights flashed in their hands. However, the soldiers were dozing off and without any precautions, so they would not notice anything strange not far away, so without any danger, they easily arrived in front of the inn.

Without any communication, they quickly divided into two groups, three of whom were guarding outside, and the remaining four people gently opened the inn gate, entered it, and followed the narrow stairs and still silently touched up until they stopped in front of a guest room.

The design of this room is quite ordinary, with a door on one side and a window on the side. At that moment, someone leaned up and took out something that looked like a flying crane. He gently took his mouth and stepped forward. The window paper broke. Then he pressed the cover with his hand. When Fei crane flapped his wings, a wisp of light smoke entered the room along the hole.

After a while, he took Feihe away, and then did the same thing and poured light smoke into the other two rooms on both sides. After the matter was finished, he nodded slightly, and the other people took decisive action, skillfully drew the knife between the cracks of the door, and then pushed the shoulders. The door that should have been locked quickly opened, but did not make much noise. When they entered the door, the door bolt fell down again and was taken over by them.
