"...There are people guarding the east, south, west and north directions of the inn. There are ten people guarding near the main entrance in the south, and there are three to five people guarding the east, west and north sides respectively! Of course, this is only on the surface. As for the defensive force, the opponent has also deployed a lot of secret sentries in the dark. As I just saw, there are secret sentries hidden on the banyan tree to the southwest of the inn and on the firewood pile to the northwest!"
In the turret on the south wall of Taiyuan City, Li Junxian put down his telescope and looked at Tongfu Inn to the north of the turret. He said to Wang Chengwu, Han Lizheng, Tiedan, Dugu Feiying and others beside him:
"The current Tongfu Inn is heavily defended. It is not an exaggeration to call it airtight. It is almost impossible to sneak in quietly, unless we can arrange the other party's open and secret sentries outside in an instant. All of them must be dealt with quietly, otherwise, once the Turkic spies in the inn hear any changes, they will definitely do harm to His Highness as soon as possible!"
That's right, the purpose of Li Junxian and others' coming here is to "step on the spot" in advance. They want to observe the current defensive situation of Tongfu Inn on the spot, and then make a plan to rescue Li Tai!
In order not to "snatch the snake", Li Junxian and others did not go directly to the vicinity of Tongfu Inn. Instead, they chose the survey location in the corner tower of the south city wall of Taiyuan City, which is about one mile away from Tongfu Inn. , not easy to be found, and the terrain here is higher, which makes it easier for them to observe the situation around Tongfu Inn!
Of course, all this would be without the help of the "military telescope" Li Junxian brought from Chang'an!
After listening to Li Junxian's introduction to the defense deployment of Tongfu Inn, everyone couldn't help but frown deeply. Dugu Feiying couldn't help but say:
"These guys are quite cautious, so what should we do now? Can't we just stay here and watch?"
Li Junxian shook his head and frowned in silence.
Faced with the Turkic spies' comprehensive defensive strategy, he had no good solution for a while. The most important thing was that the opponent had a heavyweight hostage like Li Tai, so they were confident. If they wanted to save people, they would just We can only save him secretly without letting anyone notice.
The atmosphere in the room was a little tense for a while.
Tiedan's mind was racing. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but say: "Besides the Turk spies and Qingque, are there anyone else in Tongfu Inn now? For example, the original tenants of the inn or Boy?"
Li Junxian didn't know why Tiedan asked this, but he still replied: "No! According to the intelligence, after Anxi Turkic spies chose to settle in Tongfu Inn last night, they kicked out all the waiters and tenants in the inn. During the expulsion process, several residents even suffered casualties! Now, only the Turkic spies and His Highness are left in the inn!"
Hearing this, Tiedan's eyes widened, and then he asked tentatively:
"Now there are no residents in Tongfu Inn, and there are no servants in the original inn, but there are so many Turkic spies, right? Where do they have to eat and drink every day? Where do their meals come from? I wonder if there are special vendors to provide them with food every day? Tongfu Inn delivers food, if so, can we disguise ourselves as vendors delivering food and sneak into the inn?"
"Huh? Brother Tiedan's method is good! Maybe we can give it a try!"
Hearing this, Dugu Feiying couldn't help but be eager to give it a try.
Wang Chengwu on the side couldn't help but nodded secretly, obviously thinking that Tiedan's method was more feasible.
Li Junxian did not speak. He put the telescope in front of his eyes and looked in the direction of Tongfu Inn. After a moment, he paused, put the telescope down again, and handed it to Tiedan and said:
"Look! There's a boy going to deliver food to the inn right now!"
Hearing this, Tiedan quickly took the telescope and looked at the main entrance of Tongfu Inn. He saw a boy wearing a coarse cloth jacket carrying two wooden boxes and was being interrogated by a Turkic spy at the entrance of the inn.
Because they were too far apart, Tiedan couldn't hear what the other party said, but after a while, he saw the boy put down his pole, took out food boxes one by one from the two wooden boxes, and handed them to the Turks The spies and the Turkic spies took them one by one. After everything was done, the Turkic spies gave the young man a few slings of copper coins. The young man took them with a smile and then left with an empty wooden box
And the two Turkic spies immediately carried the food boxes into the inn!
"These Turkic spies are so cautious. They didn't let the boy who delivered the food into the inn, but carried the food in themselves!"
Tiedan put down the telescope and said with some disappointment.
Dugu Feiying and Wang Chengwu also looked disappointed when they heard this.
At this time, Han Lizheng patted Tiedan's shoulder and comforted him: "Those Turkic spies have now turned from darkness to light. Everyone's life depends on His Highness. They will definitely be extremely cautious! This road is impassable. Let's think about other options." The best way is that there is no airtight defense in this world. As long as we wait patiently, we will definitely find their omissions!"
Tiedan nodded when he heard this and didn't say anything more. Instead, he raised his telescope and continued to observe the situation near the inn.
Li Junxian agreed at this time: "Mr. Han is right, there is no airtight defense in this world. We only have one chance to take action, and we can only succeed and not fail, so we must wait patiently for the opportunity. Don't act impulsively or act impulsively!"
"General..."
While he was talking, a man in well-dressed clothes walked in. It was Lin Jiang, Baiqi. He walked up to Li Junxian and said a few words to Li Junxian. Li Junxian's expression suddenly changed. After thinking for a moment, He whispered:
"Ask He Jian to investigate Kang Qu. According to my opinion, this matter is probably caused by the Kang people. If this matter is really led by Kang Qu, let the governor's office arrest him immediately. There is no need to do anything. No worries! There can be no chaos in Taiyuan City!"
"yes!"
Lin Jiang clasped his fists and followed the order.
Since Li Junxian's last words were spoken in front of a group of people, some of them looked confused when they heard the words, while others were thoughtful. Li Junxian did not explain to everyone, because The most important thing for him now is to rescue Li Tai!
Li Junxian was about to say something, when Tiedan suddenly said: "General Li, those Turkic spies outside the inn have changed their shifts, and someone came out of the inn to replace them! It's just... these two groups of people look like the same person. Their faces are sleepy, could it be that they didn’t get a good rest last night?”
"Let me take a look!"
Tie Dan's words immediately caught Li Junxian's attention. He "snatched" the telescope from Tie Dan's hand and looked in the direction of the inn.
