At Chen time, Taiyuan, it was already bright.
Wang Liaoyuan, Wang Yu, Fang Gongteng, Li Junxian, Dugu Feiying, Han Lizheng and others gathered in the front hall of the post house to discuss the rescue of Li Tai. Tiedan and Mo Chui were worried about Li Tai's safety and also listened in the house.
"Two quarters of an hour ago, I received news from Chang'an Baiqisi about Zhao Deyan's identity!"
As the temporary highest-ranking chief executive of Taiyuan City, Li Junxian was sitting at the top. Seeing that everyone had arrived, he stopped talking and went straight to the point: "Zhao Deyan was originally the magistrate of Qinghe County, Beizhou. He is extremely fickle and good at flattery. He is an official, but he only cares about the common people, which makes the local people complain!
According to Baiqisi's investigation, during the Wude period, many local officials secretly sent a lot of money to Prince Yin to help Prince Yin develop his power. Zhao Deyan was one of them. In just two years, he passed the Beizhou Governor's , a total of more than 50,000 yuan of stolen money was delivered to Prince Yin. In the ninth year of Wude, Prince Yin was killed in the Xuanwumen mutiny, and the Holy Emperor ascended the throne. Zhao Deyan was worried that His Majesty would settle accounts in the fall, so he left Beizhou and went to the grassland to join Jieli. !
Although this man was good at flattery and flattery, he also had some real abilities. After escaping to the grassland, Zhao Deyan was quickly appreciated by Jieli, and with Jieli's support, he began to reform the official system on the grassland, and other He is also in charge of a mysterious army, a team composed of masters selected from Han prisoners!
According to the general's speculation, the army under Zhao Deyan should be the same group of people who attacked the post house last night! In recent years, Zhao Deyan is very likely to use the Han identity of these people to place them in various states and counties in the Tang Dynasty for the purpose of gathering intelligence!
When the teachers and students of Yanhuang Academy set out from Yunshan and prepared to go north to build a telegraph relay station, they might have been noticed by Zhao Deyan's spies planted near Chang'an City, so he had enough time to complete this series of layouts in Taiyuan City. ! "
After Li Junxian said this, everyone in the hall was shocked.
Although some of these contents are based on Li Junxian's guesses, most of them are based on the fact that Li Junxian received a telegram from the Qintian Prison in Chang'an City this morning. A telegram from him!
Yesterday afternoon, Li Junxian indeed sent a letter through a flying pigeon, ordering Baiqisi in Chang'an City to seize the time to investigate Zhao Deyan's identity. However, according to the speed of the carrier pigeon, it would probably be late at night before Baiqisi received the letter. In just a few hours, it was impossible to find out Zhao Deyan's identity! In fact, last night, after Li Er learned that Li Tai had been captured by Turkic spies, he gave Zhao Song a death order and ordered him to use all means, including Baiqisi, to find out Zhao Deyan's identity before dawn. And the origin!
After Baiqisi received the order, all personnel immediately took action. After reviewing countless files overnight, they finally found out some information about Zhao Deyan. Zhao Song took this information to Li Er and asked the young eunuch of Qintianjian to , helped Baiqisi pass Zhao Deyan’s relevant information to Li Junxian so that he could rescue Li Tai!
"This Zhao Deyan used to be a local official in the Tang Dynasty, but now he is willing to be a lackey of the Turks. It's really abominable!"
Dugu Feiying waved his fist hatefully and said viciously.
Wang Yu said solemnly: "It is precisely because Zhao Deyan was a local official of the Tang Dynasty, so he knows the Tang Dynasty better than those Turks, that is why Jieli placed him in such an important position. Presumably, over the years, his subordinates The Turkic spies often passed the information about our Tang Dynasty back to the grassland!"
Wang Liaoyuan nodded and said: "Last night, I interrogated Zhao Deyan overnight and also imposed a small punishment on this guy. Although he was very afraid of pain and kept screaming, he seemed to have something to rely on and just didn't say anything. Now. Your Highness is in the hands of Turkic spies, and I dare not impose severe punishment on him, so I had to give up in the end!"
Li Junxian frowned and said: "His reliance is on the fact that His Highness is in the hands of his people, and he believes that we dare not do anything to him! In addition, I think the main reason for his move is to delay time, waiting for Jieli to dispatch Reinforcements have arrived in Taiyuan City! By then he will not only be able to escape, but he will also be able to kidnap His Highness back to the grassland!"
Wang Liaoyuan said hurriedly: "Xiaguan rushed eight hundred miles yesterday and sent an emergency report to Yunzhou, Youzhou and other border states, notifying the governors of each state to take more precautions! With the 50,000 wolves led by Ashina Sheerjiu, Having learned from the past experience of riding in at the gate, I believe that the provincial governors will take strict precautions after receiving the urgent report from me. Under the current situation, it is unlikely that the Turkic army will sneak into the Tang Dynasty without being noticed!"
"Ah, very good!"
Li Junxian couldn't help but nodded and said: "Taiyuan is located in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, not at the border. If the Turkic army wants to come in, they can only sneak in secretly. Now that several border states have taken precautions, we can finally cut it off. Zhao Deyan’s biggest reliance! Next, all we have to do is concentrate on rescuing His Royal Highness the King of Wei!"
Fang Gongteng said at this time: "General Li seems to have a good idea. Is there any clever plan to rescue King Wei? You might as well tell him directly, and we will definitely cooperate with him!"
The rest of the people also looked at Li Junxian expectantly and said: "Exactly, exactly, we will fully cooperate!"
Li Junxian shook his head and said: "It's not that I am confident, but now that there are no foreign threats and the Turkic spies can't leave Taiyuan City, we have enough time to rescue His Highness! The top priority is to find out Tongfu Inn first As for the situation over there, only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle!"
Speaking of this, Li Junxian looked at Fang Gongteng and said: "Fang Canjun, you will be solely responsible for the defense of Taiyuan City these days. You will not allow anyone to enter or exit, but you must also maintain public order in the city to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause chaos!"
Fang Gongteng suddenly felt a lot of pressure. It would be fine if Li Junxian only asked him to be responsible for the security of the city wall, but he was also responsible for the security of the city. The pressure would be too great. You must know how big Taiyuan City is, and the Bingzhou camp has a total of There are only more than 80,000 troops, which is not enough for a city as big as Taiyuan City! Therefore, Fang Gongteng's face couldn't help but look troubled!
Seeing this, Wang Liaoyuan quickly volunteered and said: "General Li, the city and the security inside the city are all responsible for the Bingzhou Camp. I'm afraid the pressure will be too great. It's better for the Yamen of the Governor's Office and other Yamen in Taiyuan City to jointly assist Yu Fang to join the army to protect the city. Regarding public security, Fang joins the army and puts more energy into the security of the city wall. I wonder what General Li wants?"
