Within just a few days, Lanling New City suddenly became in a panic. Not only Lanling, but also the surrounding prefectures and counties.

For example, in the location of Langya County, the city gate was sent in broad daylight, and before it was dark in the evening, the city gate was closed early.

And the curfew was also advanced by an hour.

Langya is the place where the county is located, and the atmosphere is so tense, the counties below are naturally even more serious, and there are already county towns that do not open the city gate during the day.

But the most serious one is Lanling.

I saw that there were eight ox crossbows appearing on the city wall. Every five hundred steps, an eight ox crossbow was placed. Next to each crossbow, there were thirty elite soldiers, and they were always vigilant and could open crossbows at any time.

In addition to the powerful weapons like Baniu Crossbow, there are also elite soldiers stationed on the city wall. Even Lanling Town Government suddenly issued a notice calling on the strong men in the city to participate in the city wall inspection. As long as they are willing to participate, they will immediately send weapons, which is equivalent to the whole people being soldiers, as if they are allowed to fight a tough battle.

At the same time, Wuhou patrolling the streets could be seen everywhere in the city, with one staircase and one staircase of a hundred steps. On the bustling streets, it was specially equipped with the most elite cavalry.

When cavalry patrol the streets, any emergencies can come quickly. Even if there are occasional noises on the streets, the cavalry will rush over. Whether it is a quarrel or not, they will first surround people and ask the reasons before they decide whether to let them go.

This strict defense attitude made the entire city feel in panic, and in the villages and towns outside the city, township inspectors also began to patrol day and night.

All kinds of signs make people feel abnormal. Even the stupidest person can guess what he is guarding against...

As for the smarter people, they even guessed the answer.

Prepare for the future!

Arrange troops!

This is probably a big battle to prepare for a war, and it is a battle lower than an offensive.

...

In an inn in the city, water sank under the King of Shou Hall, as if very angry or helpless.

Suddenly, the Your Highness snorted coldly and pretended to be mocking, "When you use this king, you will give me a benefit. When you don't use this king, do you immediately want to turn against others? This time, I have recorded this humiliation. When I see An Lushan in the future, I will definitely ask him for a remark, Humph!"

Several mysterious people on the opposite side, who looked like literati, bowed to Shou Wang one after another, and said helplessly: "The incident happened suddenly, and we have no choice. The plan we originally planned is very good. We will definitely be able to take Lanling with a series of plans. But..."

King Shou seemed to be more angry and mocked again: "But you suddenly realized that Guo Ziyi's Lanling New City is not easy to gnaw. They arranged troops in advance and strengthened the city defense. For example, the eight-ox crossbows on the city wall are each a killing weapon. If you attack this city hard, you will inevitably damage a large number of soldiers, right?"

The mysterious man in the room nodded and said with regret: "We really didn't expect that Guo Ziyi would have the ability to see the initiative... But what was wrong? Why could he actually see through our actions in advance? Could it be that someone leaked the secret? He secretly revealed the news to him?"

King Shou was upset, but his face tried hard to calm down, and he snorted coldly and said sneeringly: "You have to ask yourself, I have never left this inn anyway. You have been staring at me in the past few days, and even the children in the inn are not allowed to enter my house. You bring the food in, and you take out the pan cup..."

As he said that, he suddenly roared and said angrily: "As a prince, I am locked up by you as a prisoner. Such a great humiliation, how can I treat allies as an ally?"

The mysterious man opposite quickly bowed again and apologized solemnly: "Your Highness should understand that this is to keep the secret. After all, what we have to do is too big and no news can be revealed."

King Shou became more and more angry, and suddenly stood up and shouted: "It sounds nice, but have you kept the secret? You locked me here, but you leaked the news yourself."

The mysterious man looked embarrassed and explained in a low voice: "Maybe it was not our leak, but something else was leaked. For example, the 50,000 troops hidden in Qingzhou may be seen by people."

King Shou was happy, but his face continued to be cold, and he said, "Qingzhou? That place is very close to Lanling. It can be reached within two hundred miles. You are quite brave. You dare to hide the army so close..."

The mysterious man sighed and said, "This is to be able to attack quickly, so he hides the army."

As he spoke with regret, he sighed again and said, "It's a pity that there is no point in now. Lanling has already noticed the trend. The army lost its opportunity to attack, and the hard attack will cause huge damage, so, so..."

King Shou smiled coldly and mocked: "So you are going to give up and are ready to bow to Guo Ziyi?"

The mysterious man took a deep breath and said seriously: "You can't do anything, so you must naturally avoid it and wait for the opportunity again. This is the best way to do it."

King Shou seemed very unwilling to give up and suddenly said, "What about bewitching surrendered soldiers? Can you continue to do it? If the surrendered soldiers can mutiny, it may still make Lanling in chaos."

The mysterious man shook his head and said slowly: "You can't do anything, you can't do anything. The chain strategy we have formulated cannot be successful without any link."

"For example, first, assassinate Guo Ziyi's son, so that he will lose his calmness due to huge changes. At the same time, let the 30,000 surrendered soldiers in the city mutiny and rushed to the streets to burn and kill the rebellion. Only in this way can we cooperate with the 50,000 army hidden in Qingzhou and conquer Lanling with lightning speed."

"All this must be linked together. If any link has problems, there will be problems with other links."

"The current situation is very obvious. Guo Ziyi has made preparations. Not only does he send additional city guards, but he also mobilizes the people in the city. On the surface, the city is full of panic, and there must be a secret inspection."

"Under this situation, countless people must be watching the surrendered soldiers. Even if we have any abnormal movements, we may be noticed."

When the mysterious man said this, he apologized again and said, "So, you can't do anything. No matter how your Highness blames us, we must be responsible for our own commander. This time, if you want to plan Lanling's intentions, you can temporarily stop the battle."

King Shou nodded helplessly as if he was persuaded and said, "Okay, that's all. Although I am unwilling to accept it, I can't force everyone to get into danger..."

As he said that, he thought of something, he asked again: "Will you continue to stay in Lanling?"

Several Fan Yang's secret discs shook their heads and said, "Now the city is on guard, it is not the best way for us to stay. Find opportunities in the future and come over when we encounter a good opportunity."

King Shou hurriedly asked again: "What should I do with the 50,000 troops in Qingzhou? Continue to hide there or withdraw from Fanyang?"

Several Fan Yangs wriggled for a while and finally chose to tell the truth, saying: "This time the secret leak is very likely to be found out about the whereabouts of the army, so the 50,000 troops cannot be hidden, and they must be withdrawn to Fan Yang immediately."

King Shou was a little disappointed, this time he was really disappointed, and couldn't help saying, "I thought you would keep your troops."

Fan Yang's Annihilation was disappointed when he heard his tone, and quickly comforted him: "It will definitely make a comeback in the future, but it must be withdrawn now. Otherwise, once this army is found by Guo Ziyi, he may have to send troops again with his reckless character... We hid the army to suddenly attack him, and we don't want to fight head-on with him, a fierce man."

King Shou waved his hand in a leisurely manner and said, "Okay, okay, you are right after all. Only I am used to help you deliver a prayer post... Even Guo Ziyi has already replied and promised me to visit his house."

As he said that, he looked at a few dark discs and asked, "This should be considered an opportunity. You can still take this opportunity to assassinate his son."

Several Fan Yang secret discs sneered together and said, "This is a trap, and you have gone or not. Since Guo Ziyi has even defended the city wall, how can he not beware of his family being assassinated?"

King Shou hurriedly said, "This man is a reckless man, a fool who is a brainless fool. So, he might not have thought of this."

Fan Yang shook his head in unison and said, "Although this man is a reckless man, he has capable people under his command. Otherwise, how could he build a giant city from scratch in just one year?"

As he said that, he glanced at King Shou and advised with kind words: "So your highness should give up the idea. Guo Ziyi's subordinates will definitely help him check for the missing. The assassination plan we had planned before will definitely become a big trap."

King Shou seemed to have a terrible expression and couldn't help saying, "What should I do? I have already handed over the prayer post."

Fan Yang's And Die smiled and said, "As long as we don't send a dead soldier to follow, there will be no assassination of his son. Then what's wrong with Your Highness visiting him? It's an ordinary human relationship."

King Shou seemed to understand, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, yes. I was shocked and worried for a moment, but I didn't understand."

Several Fan Yang's dark dice looked at each other and saw the ridiculous look in each other's eyes. It was obvious that he thought King Shou was a fool, so he all looked down on him very much.

Although I looked down on you, my face did not show. Instead, I bowed again and said goodbye: "In order to accomplish a great thing, I have to stop Your Highness in the room. Now when we say goodbye and farewell, I solemnly say sorry to Your Highness. Please, please, please, please."

After celebrating, he turned around and went out. Before leaving, he suddenly turned back and said in a deliberate manner: "I parted today because of the situation. From now on, the mountains and rivers are high. We always think of Your Highness. I hope that in the near future, we can reunite and plan again."

King Shou also bowed his hand this time and said, "I look forward to the day of reunion after a long separation."

Several Fan Yang's secret discs nodded and left the inn quietly.

King Shou stared at their backs until he could no longer see them. The prince suddenly sneered and said with a deep meaning: "I have only one sentence that I have not lie. I am really looking forward to the day of reunion after a long separation..."

The day of reunion after a long separation must be the time when Guo Ziyi kills these people.

Fan Yang's secret discs left, but King Shou still stayed in the inn and did not move.

He waited all day until he was sure that the dark discs were not staring at him somewhere. Then he disguised himself as he quietly walked out the door while the night was falling.

He must tell Guo Ziyi all the things that happened today, whether it was Fan Yang's secret disc leaving or the 50,000 troops hidden in Qingzhou that would also be evacuated, which is very important for Lanling.

...

That day and night, the palace was guarded.

Guo Ziyi had a gentle face and poured a glass of wine for King Shou himself.

"Your Highness this time, let Guo let down a big stone in his heart. Let's leave. These bastards are leaving."

"If they don't leave, Guo might really be unable to help it."

"Fortunately, my wife's plan is high, so we Lanling are in a panic, with city defenses and troops arranged in a row. In this way, we can welcome the enemy, so that the other party can feel that things cannot be done."

"It's OK to retreat. If you retreat, you don't need to fight. Otherwise, once the fight starts, the people will suffer."

"Although Guo was unwilling to accept it, he had to let them go."

King Shou held the wine glass, his face was a little restrained, and he said carefully: "Is this a credit for this?"

Guo Ziyi's face was so serious, and she nodded and said, "Forget it."

King Shou was obviously happy and couldn't help but say again: "The general had promised me...hehe...what promised me..."

Guo Ziyi laughed loudly, reached out and patted King Shou on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Guo did what he said. Since I promised to make a family relationship with you, I will definitely keep this promise."

He paused slightly, and then added: "But there is one thing Guo needs to explain in advance that Your Highness and I can be friends, and our two families can also become friends with each other. However, this is a private friendship, which does not mean that I will help you fight for the throne."

King Shou nodded repeatedly and said excitedly: "This is already very good, this is already very good. It is already a great reward for me to have a great general as my friend. Even if General Guo, you don't help me, at least you won't stand on the opposite side..."

Guo Ziyi laughed again and added with a deep meaning: "And after you have me as a friend, if you want others to touch you, you have to think about the consequences."

"After all, everyone knows that the man named Guo of You is a reckless man with a bad temper and a reckless temperament. If anyone touches my friend, I will definitely beat him up."

This statement of beating him up actually implied a hint.

King Shou was not stupid. He immediately heard the hint and was surprised and his voice trembled, saying, "This is, this is... General Guo, I..."

He stuttered for a moment and couldn't speak.

Guo Ziyi patted his shoulder again and said solemnly: "The only thing I can do is to help you with confidence. But I still said that I will definitely not participate in the battle for imperial power. If you encounter a crisis, I can rescue you, but if you fight with the prince for power, I will definitely not come to help."

Even though he said this, King Shou was still moved and said, "Even so, I am satisfied. If General Guo is my way out, I have the confidence to fight with any brother."

This time Guo Ziyi didn't talk to each other.

It took him a long time to speak up and change the topic: "There is one thing now that you need your highness to help you. If things are done well, it will be a big reward for your highness."

King Shou's heart moved and asked quickly, "What's the matter?"

Guo Ziyi slowly stood up, looked at the endless night outside, and said in a deep voice: "Please go back to Chang'an, cooperate with a few people and use various means to continuously use it, causing wind and rain, and force An Lushan to rebel..."

King Shou was stunned.

"Forcing An Lushan to rebel?" The prince was shocked.

Guo Ziyi nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, force him to rebel."

"This is my wife's series of plans. We have used the first one. We are vigilant to face the enemy and make the other party feel that things cannot be done. This is to force the other party away and thus achieve the goal of stabilizing oneself."

"Now the other party has withdrawn, Lanling has escaped from the threat of war, but we cannot let An Lushan continue to shrink his minions, and we cannot let him continue to wait for an opportunity in Fanyang..."

"So, we must force him to rebel."

After Guo Ziyi explained, he looked at King Shou sincerely and asked solemnly: "Is Your Highness willing to help?"

King Shou took a deep breath and asked solemnly: "Who do I need to cooperate after I return to Chang'an?"
