So I play chess

Chapter 107 New News
"Miss, there's news from the south that the Dingyi Army, divided into two parts, is heading towards Tongcheng with thousands of people. Moreover, Chu Yangguan personally leads the troops."

This sentence brought Wen Gu back to his senses. There are still many things that have not been dealt with in Tongcheng at the moment, so let's finish the things that need to be done before talking about other things.

At this juncture, the arrival of Ding Yi's army is really inexplicable.Nan Chu is now at a critical juncture, and it is impossible to take the initiative to switch from defense to offense with Bei Yu at this time.Moreover, when the Liangzhou army was still in existence, Southern Chu did not dare to act like this. Now that Liangzhou fell into the hands of Beiyu, Southern Chu should stabilize the defense line and defend Lianzhou.

Then the Dingyi army probably didn't want to cross Tongcheng to Liangzhou, but they should have come straight to Tongcheng.

But it is even more strange to think about it this way. Such an action in Southern Chu requires a transfer order, but the two people from Lianzhou did not mention this matter.

Or they didn't even know about it, or Ding Yijun did it privately.

Although the Dingyi Army at Chuyang Pass is brave and good at fighting, their situation in Southern Chu is somewhat similar to the situation of the Liangzhou Army in David.Sending troops without order may cause even greater disputes.

It's probably only because of Tang Mingyi that Chu Yangguan took so many unnecessary risks to send troops without permission, but it's impossible for him to know that Tang Mingyi is dead.

Then there is an order.

In Southern Chu Kingdom, there are only two people left who can mobilize soldiers and horses, and they are nothing more than Ling Guangjun and Tang Xianyao.

It is impossible for Chuyangguan to obey Tang Xianyao's transfer, so only Ling Guangjun is left, but Wen Gu really can't guess what Lingguang Lord is planning.

Thinking back, maybe Tang Mingyi had discussed and arranged with him earlier.

Wen Gu took many days longer this time than the first time, and it was impossible to verify whether Chuyangguan sent troops this time had been planned in advance, or because she had changed something.

But no matter what kind, such a big fight, I am afraid that the comers are not good.

Wen Gu pondered for a while, but couldn't find a good solution for the time being, so he asked Wen Liang first, "How soon will Dingyi's army arrive in Tongcheng?"

"They didn't carry any luggage. According to the current speed, they should arrive around Haishi tomorrow at the latest." Wen Liang replied.

Wen Gu said: "Then we still have time, let's deal with the affairs in the city first, so that we don't have to deal with Dingyi's army in the future, and our hands are tied."

The matter was already arranged by Wen Gu.

Let Liu Zhuan enter Lianzhou first, and he will naturally have a set of speeches prepared long ago to send to Tang Xianyao.Even if he couldn't gain Tang Xianyao's trust, he still had to rely on Tang Mingyi's corpse to gain a firm foothold in Lianzhou.

As for the calamity that the fake driving doctor thought, Wen Gu naturally had already thought of a solution.

Afterwards, once Liu Zhu settled down in Lianzhou, it would be very reasonable to bring relatives there.

However, Lianzhou has a lot of personnel, it is impossible to let the six thousand Liangzhou troops go there together, at most let the dark guards go there together.

For the rest, no matter who will be the new prefect here in Tongcheng in the future, the bandits outside the city will not change.

It's just that Dingyi County is separated in the middle, so it's inconvenient to contact after all.This time Ding Yijun came, maybe there is some way to solve this matter.

The next step is to get rid of the troubles in Tongcheng.

Thinking of this, Wen Gu said: "Because of me, everyone is worried. It has been delayed for a long time now, and Li Mao still needs to rest. Please ask Zhou Dutong to do his business."

Zhou Tong replied: "Miss, don't worry, I'm definitely safer than Li Mao."

Wen Gu was too lazy to joke with him, and was about to continue making arrangements with Wen Liang, but Wen Liang said first: "Miss, there is one more thing. The city gate officials originally wanted to report back to Li Mao, but as soon as they were sent to him, Li Mao's people Go here."

"Uncle Wen, tell me."

"At noon today, there was some disturbance at the East City Gate. Someone cut off the bags of rice we brought into the city, causing the refugees to riot. Xu Zhongyan took advantage of the chaos and entered the city."

Wen Gu was originally listening calmly, but he couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard the last sentence: "Come into the city while taking advantage of the chaos? Did you just come in? Did you not make any noise?"

Wen Liang didn't think there was anything wrong with the eldest lady's surprise. Before that, there was an unresolved matter with the driver, and then he had to deal with the galloping Ding Yi army.It is really inopportune for Xu Zhongyan to mix into the city at this time.

"Yes, today the Nancheng Gate is preparing for Liu Zhu's departure from the city, so everyone went to the Dongcheng Gate, and there was a commotion again, and the city gate officials made a mistake in their haste." Wen Liang replied.

"I'm afraid Xu Zhongyan caused the commotion." Wen Gu continued to ask, "Since they all got mixed into the city, how did you find out later?"

"This is a bit strange." Wen Liang handed over the booklet, which is the registration list for the public inspection. He had already turned to one page, and asked Wen Gu to take it over and read it. "The city gate officials didn't question and check carefully. Lu Yin didn't even look at it, Xu Zhongyan could have registered his name and background indiscriminately and fooled it, but he forgot his real name."

Wen Gu looked at the roster, and there were indeed a few groups of characters that were written in a rough manner, which was difficult for others to distinguish clearly.But if you think about the word "Xu Zhongyan" and then recognize it, you can see the real shape.It's just that I don't understand the rest, it's nothing more than recognizing "Lianzhou" and then "Qianlong County", that's all.

However, apart from Xu Zhongyan, there are two other groups of characters that are also illegible.

Wen Liang saw that the eldest lady's eyes were on the other two groups of words, and said again: "Xu Zhongyan did not enter the city alone, there may be two other people who came with him, but why the identities are not known yet, this roster is not easy to copy, so I can only show it to some old officials in the city."

Xu Zhongyan's time this time was not the same as the first time, not only was the time inconsistent, but the way he entered the city had also changed.Whether he is injured or not is unknown.

"He obviously had the opportunity to enter the city quietly, but he still wrote down his name. Can someone be so honest?" Wen Gu smiled and said, "He just wanted to let us know that he was coming, but he couldn't let us know immediately. Knowing that, let alone being detained by the city gate officials, let us go find him after entering the city."

Wen Liang nodded in agreement.

The only person related to Xu Zhongyan in the city is the man pretending to be a doctor in the driving department, and that man was ordered by Tang Xianyao to protect Xu Zhongyan.

Thinking about it this way, maybe this Xu Sanlang came to find this person.

"Uncle Wen, since Xu Zhongyan has entered the city, we have to change the time of our previous plan. If Li Mao is not here, we will find a suitable person to send a message to the driver, and only say that Liu Zhu's aunt has something to ask for. "

Wen Liang responded and wanted to leave, and Zhou Tong was going to go out with him.

But Wen Gu added another sentence: "Xu Zhongyan will not be able to stop him from entering the city like this. The city gate officials should not punish him severely."

Wen Liang knew what was in his mind, so he said goodbye and went out.
