The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 653 The Undercurrent of Youzhou City (Fifth Watch)
"What are you doing standing there in a daze, don't you want me to teach you how to fight?" Cheng Yaojin turned his head and said loudly to You Wuwei behind him.

Don't look at the Youwuwei brought by Cheng Yaojin, there are only a few hundred people.But these are all elite soldiers.Compared with these common people, not to mention one is worth a hundred.

With their joining, Li Tai's confidence is even stronger.So Li Tai said to Cheng Yaojin with a smile: "Uncle Cheng is really a fastidious person, this favor is written down by the King. If there is a chance in the future, he will definitely repay it twice."

"With your boy's words, my Cheng didn't come in vain. The east gate will be handed over to me, old Cheng, to guard it for you. I wonder if you can rest assured?" Cheng Yaojin laughed and said to Li Tai.

Hearing that Cheng Yaojin was going to guard the east gate for himself, this made Li Tai extremely happy.Although even if Cheng Yaojin doesn't come, Li Tai can still invite Cheng Yaojin if he goes to invite him.

But if Cheng Yaojin hadn't come, Li Tai really wouldn't have invited Cheng Yaojin.After all, it hasn't reached that point yet, the worst thing is to summon Baima Yicong and Wudang Flying Army to come out and kill the Quartet for myself.

"Uncle Cheng, originally this king was planning to guard the east gate in person. Since Uncle Cheng recommended himself, then this king will hand over this place to you." Li Tai said to Cheng Yaojin with a smile.

"You don't have to be polite to me, kid. After Khitan and Xi are defeated. Don't forget to bring some Supreme Jade Emperor's Drunk, then just thank me, old Cheng." Cheng Yaojin said with a big smile.

After seeing Cheng Yaojin leading You Wuwei up the wall of the east city gate.Li Tai ordered a general, and the general in charge of guarding the east wall called over.Let him obey Cheng Yaojin's command in everything.

And for the sake of safety, Li Tai kept Xu Liang by Cheng Yaojin's side.It would not be so good if Cheng Yaojin fell victim to other people's aggressive tactics.

Although Li Tai knew in his heart that Cheng Yaojin was only careless on the surface.In fact, he is an old general who is rough and fine.But for the sake of safety, Li Tai still did this.

Xu Liang came to Cheng Yaojin and said with a smile: "Uncle Cheng, this east city wall will be handed over to our uncle and nephew. If we let this east city wall go wrong, we will really lose face .”

"Finally, there is no old ox-nosed person talking around my old Cheng. Here comes another little ox-nosed one. It seems that I, Lao Cheng, will never be able to avoid you father and son in my whole life." Cheng Yaojin said helplessly with a sigh.

……

Now the walls of the four city gates are guarded by people.Cheng Yaojin cooperated with Xu Liang to guard the east gate.Cao Zhen cooperated with Jing Wanjun to guard the North City Gate.Shen Yunfei cooperates with Gao Ping to guard the west gate.Meng Li cooperated with brothers Mo Hui and Mo Kun to guard the south gate.

Each of them has thousands of Youzhou government troops under their command, plus tens of thousands of civilians.Although the combat effectiveness is not known, but the number of people is still reasonable.

And Li Tai opened the armory and took out armor and weapons for those common people.Make them look more like a real soldier.

Not only the men in the city joined the ranks of defending the city, but even the women and children in the city were not idle.They took the initiative to take over the work of delivering food and water on the city wall.

Some big families who supported Li Tai also opened their own granaries.He took out a certain amount of food and personally delivered it to the Governor's Mansion of Youzhou and handed it over to Li Tai.

But not everyone is actively helping Li Tai to defend Youzhou City.There are still some people who secretly have other ideas, and even hope that Youzhou City will be captured by the Khitan King.

Even if Li Tai doesn't die by then, he won't be able to stay in Youzhou any longer.When the time comes, when the Khitan people leave, this Youzhou will be their world again.

……

"Everyone, I don't know what you think. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we fail to grasp it, it will be impossible to turn over again." A thin old man said to the few people in front of him Said.

"Patriarch Sun, it's not that we don't want to live the life we ​​used to. But if we fail to do so, I'm afraid we will have no way out."

"And with Yan Wang Li Tai's iron-blooded wrist, I am afraid that our family will also be removed from the name." Another old man said.

"Patriarch Zhou, since ancient times, we have been seeking wealth and wealth. If everyone is as greedy as you are, why bother to get together. Why don't you also open the granary, take out your own food, and flatter Li Tai? ?” Patriarch Sun said with a look of disdain.

"Sun Wei, what do you mean by that? Could it be that I, Zhou Tian, ​​am only thinking about my own Zhou family. This is a matter of life and death for everyone, so how can you not think twice before doing it?" Patriarch Zhou Tian said angrily.

"You two Patriarchs, don't get angry. We all got together today for the common good. If you have anything to say, let's sit down and talk slowly. Getting angry won't solve the problem." Another Patriarch stood up and said.

"Now the Lu family in Fanyang raised troops against Li Tai, but unfortunately they were driven across the Yalu River. Fortunately, King Khitan and King Xi raised their troops to attack Youzhou again."

"And I have already sent someone to get in touch with me. I hope we can act as an internal response and help them open the city gate at that time. As long as the city gate is opened, there is absolutely no possibility of his king Li Tai surviving." Sun Wei smiled. Said.

"Now all the people in the city are spontaneously organized to go to the city wall to help Yan Wang Li Tai guard Youzhou. Now that we don't have a single soldier in our hands, how can we help others open the city gate?" Zhou Tian asked Sun Wei.

"Don't you know why Fan Yang's Lu family dared to raise troops to openly resist Li Tai? Because he has the support of His Royal Highness behind him, that's why he made such a decision."

"Now His Royal Highness has sent people to Youzhou, and they will secretly help us open the city gate. Of course, in return, we must be loyal to His Royal Highness."

"The General Tang sent by His Royal Highness is now in the inner room. As long as you all make a decision, I can take you to the inner room. Meet General Tang." Sun Wei said to everyone.

"I'm afraid now, even if we don't want to participate in this matter, we may not be able to leave here. Who let us know things we shouldn't know." Zhou Tian said with a sigh.

What Zhou Tian said was right, now he already knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was involved in this matter.Then if he doesn't want to participate in this matter, there is absolutely no possibility of surviving.

Seeing everyone nodding, Sun Wei said with a smile: "Since you have no objection, please follow me to the inner room and meet General Tang."

Whether everyone present is willing or unwilling.At this time, they could only helplessly follow Sun Wei, walking towards the inner room.

At this time, in the room, there is a person sitting.This person is tasting the green tea in his hand, with a relaxed expression.

When the door of the inner room was knocked, the man said, "You all finally understand it. Now that you understand it, come in."
