Traveling through the divine eagle: the first sword of Quanzhen

Chapter 453 Preparations for Zhuge Fox

Li Qingwei led the horse and watched for a long time outside the defense mansion, but he never entered.

Because he wasn't sure if this was a "trap".

After all, he has not been in touch with Zhuge Qingyun for a long time. If Zhuge Qingyun and others are discovered, then this may be a trap of "please enter the urn".

Although these traps were nothing more than "little tricks" in Li Qingwei's eyes, due to his status, he did not act rashly. After all, he and Wang Ping were related by marriage.

If this is found out, it will not be easy to deal with. At that time, I can only take the risk in advance, and I can only serve as a soldier in Luoyang.

At that time, it was "blooming in the center", which was a taboo for military strategists.

After thinking about it, Li Qingwei decided to find an inn to live in first, and he would change his clothes at night, and it would not be too late to visit.

But just when Li Qingwei was about to leave, a carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Garrison Mansion.

At this time, a woman came down from the carriage, and Li Qingwei looked at her. He knew this woman, and it was none other than Zhuge Qingyun's wife, Tang Lan's cousin Jiang Hui.

Li Qingwei didn't speak, but slapped the horse's "butt" heavily.

Then the horse neighed in pain, which attracted everyone's attention, including Jiang Hui's.

At this moment, Li Qingwei looked at Jiang Hui, and Jiang Hui also looked at Li Qingwei.

Jiang Hui said with a smile at this time: "So it's Mr. Li! Mr. Li is here, why don't you come in?"

At this time, Li Qingwei led the horse to Jiang Hui's body, then cupped his hands and said, "Ma'am, this is."

Jiang Hui said: "Oh! My family and my husband live here. Mr. Li, please hurry up. Your husband must be very happy to see Mr. Li. It happens that the details of the uprising need to be discussed with Mr. Li."

Hearing that Jiang Hui dared to say these words in front of the gate of the Garrison Mansion, Li Qingwei looked at her in disbelief.

Jiang Hui knew what Li Qingwei was surprised about.

Jiang Hui looked at the soldiers on duty in the garrison, and then said with a smile: "Young Master Li, there is no need to worry. These people are all arranged by your husband. These are all relatives of my Jiang family in Tianshui, and they are absolutely reliable."

Jiang Hui said to everyone: "This is our lord."

Li Qingwei was about to bow his hand when all these people knelt in front of him and saluted.

Then they whispered to Li Qing: "My subordinates will see you, my lord!"

Li Qingwei looked at them, then looked back at the other people on the street.

At this moment, Jiang Hui smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, the entire garrison mansion, including the perimeter of the garrison mansion, is now our people."

Seeing Jiang Hui's smile, Li Qingwei looked around again. For some reason, his scalp felt a little numb.

But even so, Li Qingwei also followed Jiang Hui into the defense mansion.

Zhuge Qingyun in the Garrison Mansion was dealing with various official affairs that had accumulated in Chang'an City.

Now in the entire Chang'an city, apart from the Mongolian army camp in the city, the administrative government office, and several food and grass strongholds and military camps outside the city that he does not control, Chang'an city is now in his pocket.

He is now waiting for Li Qingwei's order and an exact time for the uprising.

At this time, Jiang Hui brought Li Qingwei to the study where Zhuge Qingyun was. She knocked on the door frame and said, "Husband, look who is here!"

Zhuge Qingyun raised his head and looked at Li Qingwei. He quickly put down his pen, then got up from the chair, and walked in front of Li Qingwei. He was about to kneel down on the ground, but Li Qingwei took the first step to support him.

Li Qingwei said: "Brother Zhuge doesn't have to be like this!"

Zhuge Qingyun replied: "No! Courtesy cannot be discarded! My lord is a descendant of the emperor, and we, as ministers, naturally have to respect."

Zhuge Qingyun hurriedly said: "My lord, please take your seat!"

Speaking of which, Li Qingwei was invited by Zhuge Qingyun to sit on the main seat, and then Zhuge Qingyun rummaged for something from the side, and then he took a stack of booklets and placed them in front of Li Qingwei.

Then he retreated to the lower position and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, this is some preparations that I have made with Xiaolan and others during this period of time. Please take a look at it."

Li Qingwei didn't look at it. He stood up and said: "Brother Zhuge, we haven't started any incidents yet. This is in private, not in court. You and I should still call each other brothers. Suddenly this makes me feel really sad." Some people are not used to it. Let's wait until the future to talk about the 'gift of the monarch and his ministers'."

Zhuge Qingyun bowed at this time and said: "I take orders!" After speaking, he stood up straight.

Zhuge Qingyun narrowed his eyes and said, "How about seeing Brother Li for a few days?"

Seeing that Zhuge Qingyun had regained his previous look, Li Qingwei and him both looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't know how long this brisk conversation could last.

Li Qingwei asked: "Brother Zhuge, how are our preparations going?"

Zhuge Qingyun said: "Everything is ready, and the details are in these accounts."

Li Qingwei and Zhuge Qingyun sat together, and Mrs. Jiang went out to serve tea.

Li Qingwei said: "Brother Zhuge should give you a brief dictation of these matters. You don't need to read the account books. I can still trust Brother Zhuge's ability."

Zhuge Qingyun nodded and said: "Well! Right now I have sent people to control the four gates of Chang'an City, as well as some streets around the Garrison Mansion. Now the entire Chang'an City is not under our control except for the council offices and several Mongolian military camps. within range."

"Everything else is under our control. And I have also deployed people to the dangerous Tongguan in the east. As long as there is a change in our place, they will immediately seize Tongguan."

"Now, in the name of Brother Li, I have recruited eight thousand elites to hide in the ancient tomb. Although these people are not many, but due to the secrecy, we can only recruit so many for the time being. After all, soldiers are not expensive, but elites. "

"I recruited these people from Bashu, and they are all Han Chinese, and most of them were exiled from Guanzhong to Bashu after years of war. These people have blood feuds with the Mongols, so they are absolutely reliable."

"And some people still bring their skills into the army. After such a long period of training, each of them dare not say that one is equal to ten, but there is no problem at all with one being five."

"In the early stage, with these [-] elite soldiers, plus my planning and layout, it is enough to deal with the defenders in Chang'an City."

"Although we currently don't have a lot of troops at our disposal, our material reserves are very abundant. Armor, weapons, and gunpowder are enough to arm 10,000+ people. And there are various 'rockets' made by Xiaolan Du All kinds of firearms are enough for us to deal with the early Mongolian attack."

"And I also contacted many former courtiers who were not very obedient to Mongolia, such as the Xixia people and the Jurchens. I made a covenant with the Jurchens. As long as our side raises an incident and attracts the Mongols, then they will Raising troops in Liaodong, when the time comes, we will respond from east to west. It can make the Mongols difficult for a certain period of time."

"As for the Xixia people, there are not many people. When Xixia fell, most of the Dangxiang people were slaughtered by the Mongols. Only a few were Sinicized. They pretended to be Han people and escaped the catastrophe. The Xixia royal family was all slaughtered. These people have no leader, and they are willing to surrender to me as a Han Chinese, 'Datang'."

"I think these people are quite reliable. After all, their ancestors were the 'Dingnan Jiedushi' of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, these people have blood feuds with the Mongols. I think they can be recruited for the people."

Li Qingwei nodded silently at this time.

Zhuge Qingyun's eyes brightened at this time and said: "Brother Li, now we have enough soldiers and food, I don't know when we will start an incident?"
