Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 721
Di Renjie glanced at Wang Mang in surprise, pointed to the sand table and said, "Look, the terrain north of Liangzhou is flat, and the army cannot hide, so how could it be possible to sneak attack?

If Qi Ge wanted to attack Liangzhou by force with these 5 people, it would be like hitting a stone with an egg. The Liangzhou Guards have a [-] army under their jurisdiction, and they can encircle and wipe them out within a day. "

Wang Mang nodded.

Wang Xiaojie praised: "Oh, Commander, you really didn't say anything about using soldiers, that's what the last general said to join the army at that time.

Sure enough, Qigo's main force inexplicably withdrew the next day. "

Di Renjie tapped the sand table lightly and said, "That's it. Then, think about it, what is the purpose of Qi Ge's movement to the north of Liangzhou?"

Wang Xiaojie snorted contemptuously: "The Turkic people have never been foolish in their wars..."

Di Renjie smiled and said: "You are wrong, Xiaojie, this time, they are very smart."

Wang Xiaojie was taken aback: "Oh?"

Di Renjie pointed at the sand table with his hand and said, "Qi Ge led the army to move northward, creating a situation of attacking Liangzhou. As the general of Liangzhou, you will definitely withdraw the main force guarding the pass on the south side, just in case..."

Wang Xiaojie said: "Exactly. There is no main Turkic force on the south side, only some stragglers.

As you just said, I will shrink the main force to the north of Liangzhou City. Once Qi Ge attacks the city, the city defenders will cooperate with the main force outside the city to encircle it within a day. "

Di Renjie nodded and said: "They figured out that you would definitely do this, so they used Qi Ge to draw your main force back, so that the pass will be empty..."

"Could it be?"

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, and they understood.

Wang Xiaojie was surprised and said: "What the commander means is that the northward movement of Qi Ge's main force is just a suspicious soldier, and the real purpose is to allow that mysterious cavalry to break through the Zhenyuan pass and enter the pass?"

Di Renjie asked back: "Now the border is closed, and no one can enter. Can you think of a better way besides breaking through the pass?"

Wang Xiaojie nodded and said, "That's true."

Di Renjie said: "If you connect the whole thing, it is not difficult to come to this conclusion.

Why did Qigo move north of Liangzhou?

And why inexplicably withdrew the army the next day?

How could the mysterious cavalry have timed it so well that they came to attack the pass as soon as your main force retreated?
All this proves that the movement of Qigo's main force is to cooperate with this mysterious cavalry to break through. "

Wang Xiaojie took a breath and said, "That's right, that's right. From this point of view, I'm afraid there is only one explanation.

But, Commander, who is it that breaks through the barrier and makes Qigo's main force a suspect for him?

This, this is too worth the loss..."

Di Renjie glanced at Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang: "As we said just now, this person's identity must be extraordinary."

Li Yuanfang nodded: "It seems that your inference is about to be confirmed."

Wang Mang said: "I'm afraid it's a big fish that came in this time, my lord, we must catch them."

Di Renjie nodded, then turned to Wang Xiaojie and said, "Xiaojie, I'm afraid that what this cavalry team has to do to break into the pass and enter the Central Plains is something that even the main force of ten Qi Ge cannot accomplish."

Wang Xiaojie was stunned: "Oh?"

Di Renjie said: "Yes, when this mysterious cavalry fights, it will carve people into bones. Coincidentally, the same thing happened in the market in Luoyang last night. What does this mean?"

Li Yuanfang took a deep breath: "It means that they have arrived at Luoyang, the capital of the gods."

Di Renjie nodded: "Think about it, they tried their best to break through the pass and sneak into Luoyang. Could it be for fun?"

The four of Wang Mang looked at each other and shook their heads thoughtfully.

Wang Mang took a slight breath: "It seems that their plans are not small!"

Di Renjie nodded, and continued: "Xiaojie just said that the breach of Zhenyuan pass happened 20 days ago. Calculating the distance and time, no matter how fast these people traveled, they only arrived in Luoyang for three days. They spent so much time You came here with all your strength, would you be so eager to return?"

Li Yuanfang suddenly realized: "It makes sense. But my lord, if you want to find these people who are hiding in the huge Luoyang, it's really like looking for a needle in a haystack!"

Zeng Tai responded and said: "Not bad."

Wang Mang suddenly looked at Di Renjie: "My lord, judging by your appearance, you must have thought of a way!"

Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai looked at Di Renjie.

A smile appeared on Di Renjie's face, and he looked at Zeng Tai: "Of course there are ways, but, Zeng Tai, let me first test you, the Luoyang parent officer."

Zeng Tai said: "Master, please tell me."

Di Renjie asked: "How many gates, how many cities, how many squares are there in Luoyang?"

Zeng Tai replied: "Not counting the Imperial City and Shangyang Palace, there are eight gates, three cities, and 110 squares."

Di Renjie asked again: "How many servants do you have in the governor's office of Luozhou?"

Zeng Tai said: "There are 460 people in total."

Di Renjie nodded and asked Wang Xiaojie: "Xiaojie, how many troops do you have in Nanya?"

Wang Xiaojie replied: "The main forces of the right guards are in Liangzhou, and there are only [-] Jianfu troops in Nanya."

A smile appeared on Di Renjie's face and he said, "Okay, great. From the looks of it now, these Turkic people must be hiding in the market, so let's start a fight."

Zeng Tai, Li Yuanfang, and Xiaojie looked at each other and said, "Oh, how do you startle the snake?"

Wang Mang looked at Di Renjie thoughtfully.

Di Renjie waved to Wang Mang and the others, and the four came forward, and he whispered something to Wang Mang and the others.

……

It was late at night, and there was silence in Chongzheng Square.

Suddenly there was a shout from a distance, and dozens of yamen servants held up lanterns and torches and beat door to door.

All the houses in the square opened their doors, and the servants went door to door to check.

In front of a family's door, the yamen servant was questioning a middle-aged man: "How many people are there in your family?"

The middle-aged man replied: "Even old and young, 32 people."

"Are there any Turks?"

The middle-aged man was stunned: "Tu, Turkic?"

The yamen servant urged impatiently, "Is there any?"

The middle-aged man hurriedly said: "No, no!"

The yamen servant waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go back to sleep!"

The middle-aged man carefully asked the yamen servant: "Shangxia, what are you looking for?"

The yamen servant said viciously: "Investigate the Turkic spies, if you catch them, kill them!"

The middle-aged man shuddered and quickly closed the door.

Throughout the night, every street, every square, every door and every household in Shendu was filled with the sound of government servants searching for Turkic spies.

……

Luoyang South Gate - Houzai Gate, Dingding Gate, Changxia Gate, Yongtong Gate, Jianchun Gate, Anxi Gate and Hui'an Gate are all closed.

Luoyang North Gate—the city wall next to Hui’an Gate has a huge notice of Luozhou Governor’s Mansion. The notice is surrounded by people who have left the city, and everyone discusses: “What’s going on, why is the city gate closed?”

"That's right, it was fine yesterday. No, the Governor's Mansion issued a notice."

"What is written on it?"

"The above said that there are Turkic spies mixed in the city of Luoyang. At present, the governor's office is searching the whole city. From now on, only the upper east gate in the east of the city will be opened from the eight gates of Luoyang, and the other seven gates will be closed."

"Ah, catch spies, I said. Let's go, let's go, run to the east gate!"
