Chapter 458 Linzhou League 1

Lintao, the capital of Linzhou, was called Di Dao in ancient times. It was founded in the 18th year of King An of Zhou (384 BC). Duke Xian of Qin destroyed the Xirong tribe Di and Huan, and established the two counties of Di Dao and Huan Dao. Later generations all took Di Dao as the name of the county. In the eighth year of Wude of the Tang Dynasty, Gao Zu ordered Di Dao to be upgraded to Linzhou, with jurisdiction over Di, Heng, Daxia and Di Dao. The county is still located in Di Dao, and the name of the county remains unchanged. In the second year of Qianfeng, after Gao Zongfeng and returned to Mount Tai and returned to Beijing, he gave an edict to rebuild the ancestral temple and ancestral house. At the time of the edict, he thought that the name of Di Dao was suspected of being barbaric, which was quite unpleasant. He did not intend to change its name, but just muttered a few words. At that time, Li Xian happened to be on the side and said that Di Dao was in front of water, so he would take it straight as Lintao. Gao Zongyuezhi, with a big stroke of his pen, the ancient city of Di Dao was like this, and the name was changed to Lintao more than 1,200 years in advance, which may also be regarded as Li Xian's time travel.

Lintao is narrow in the north and south, and the terrain is inclined from southeast to northwest. The terrain is complex, and there are many valleys and rivers. In order to guard the strategic key point of Longshu, it is also known as the south gate of Lanzhou. All dynasties have been stationed here with heavy troops to deter Zhu Qiang. The Tang Dynasty is no exception. There are more than 3,000 troops in Lintao County. Speaking of military strength It's not too little, but because of the complexity of the surrounding terrain and the large and small tribes, it can only barely ensure the stability of the city's defense. As for the vast area outside the city, it is really impossible to take care of it, so that bandits are rampant. Many tribes are independent and do not accept the king, which is one of the most chaotic places on the Silk Road, not only The largest bandit "Black Wind Thief" in Hexi is entrenched here. The Dangxiang Fangdang tribe, the largest tribe in Hexi, is also based in Lintao. Every day, the fighting in the wilderness outside the city has never stopped. Either there is endless scuffles between tribes, or the bandits robbed the past caravans. Under the control of the garrison, they can only Let it go. As long as these barbarians do not burn the war to the city, the defenders have never taken the initiative to pay attention to the chaos outside the city. The public security situation in the whole territory of Linzhou can only be described as extremely poor.

The chaos in Linzhou is normal, and calm is abnormal. It is a rare thing, at least for Li Xuanning, the assassin of Linzhou. In his not too long three-year term, the days when he did not receive a report can be said to be a handful. However, since the Qingming Festival this year, Li Xuanning has miraculously been idle. After ten days in a row, no case happened, whether inside or outside the city. This kind of caseless days are very comfortable. Li Xuanning's first reaction was naturally overjoyed, but over time, he felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly sent a lot of scouts and inquired about the details, and then suddenly He found that the "tribal alliance" was going to be held under his eyes. In shock, the three souls almost lost two - the tribal alliance, which is nothing more than a synonym for gathering a crowd to rebel. If this thing is created under his own rule, no matter whether the wrong is big or not. Small, Li Xuanning, as an assassin, can't escape the fate of being involved. It's not impossible to protect his head because he can't make trouble.

It's a matter of his own life. It's natural to be anxious. Since he got accurate information, Li Xuanning has been so anxious that he has not had a bite of food for three days. However, it is a matter of great importance. He does not dare not make claims. In addition to sending sent sent sentries to continue to follow the matter, he can only be sent to Lanzhou several times a day. , counting on the side of the governor's mansion to give a clear action instruction, but all the messengers sent were not returned, and even a message was not sent back, but Li Xuanning was very worried. Every day, he either sighed or took the excuse to attack people. Well, I just called for tea, but it was hot, and the servant who served tea was born. The servant scolded him with dog blood, and he was angry and scolded himself. However, he saw a servant rushing in from the outside with an extremely anxious face. At that time, he immediately made Li Xuanning angry, and his eyes were almost out of his eyes.

"Buncle thing, what a run, are you in a hurry to be reincarnated? Master, I will fulfill you!"

Li Xuanning's heart was very angry. Looking at the panicked appearance of the servant, the disgust in his heart suddenly rose. Without waiting for the servant to say anything, he opened his mouth and scolded angrily.

"Ah, no, no, big, big, big, big, big governor's mansion is coming, someone is outside."

The rushing government official ran in a hurry and didn't even gasp well, so he was scolded by Li Xuanning. His heart was in a hurry. In a hurry, he stammered. Fortunately, it was just an expression.

"What? Why don't you report early? Idiot, what are you doing? Why don't you invite me, rubbish, what's the use of you!"

As soon as he heard that someone came to the governor's office, Li Xuanning's heart was immediately relieved, but as soon as he saw the government official gasping there in a daze, Li Xuanning's anger immediately surged to his heart again, stamped his feet with hatred, and scolded angrily.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes..."

It is Li Xuanning who says that people are running in a hurry, and it is also him who the weirdo who doesn't report early, which makes people live. The unlucky government official is so aggrieved that he almost wants to cry loudly, but he is facing his own boss. No matter how much grievances there is, there is no way to reason. In addition to repeated promises, he can only be old. He turned around and rushed out of the house.

"Get out, what are you still standing and waiting to watch the play, huh?"

With the matter of the "tribal alliance" in his mind, Li Xuanning couldn't calm down. In fact, he couldn't sit still. He walked back and forth quickly in the hall angrily. Suddenly, he saw that the servant who had been scolded was standing aside, and his heart was not good again. He stared and scolded angrily. When he got up, he didn't notice that a tall young man dressed as a merchant had come to the hall accompanied by the previous servant.

"Is Lord Li so angry?"

As soon as he saw Li Xuanning having an attack there, the visitor's eyebrows frowned slightly and said unhappily.

"You..."

Li Xuanning was on fire. When he heard that someone dared to sneer himself to his face, he was immediately furious. He turned around angrily and opened his mouth to scold. However, as soon as he saw the face of the person, the scolding immediately stopped. His face was widened with surprise and stunned, and he was dumbfounded.

"So what?"

The person who came looked at Li Xuanning with a smile and opened his mouth rudely.

"Den, Hall..."

Li Xuanning was shocked. He reached out and rubbed his eyes vigorously. Finally, he was sure that it was Li Xian, the immediate supervisor of Hexi, who was standing in front of him. His legs and feet couldn't help but feel soft, and he couldn't say a complete word.

Hey, no wonder Zhang Jianzhi said that this guy is a mediocre person, as expected! Li Xian's contact with Li Xuanning is not much, that is, he has been summoned a few times. Generally speaking, there are many official answers, and he has never talked about it in detail. His impression of him is just ordinary. He doesn't have a good impression, and he doesn't have much dislike. On the contrary, Zhang Jianzhi has a lot of contact with Li Xuanning because he presided over the practice of the governor's office, and his evaluation is really It's not high, only one "reluctant". Li Xian originally wanted to replace this person, but he didn't have time. Seeing that his performance was so poor, his determination to change horses was a little stronger. Of course, if you really want to start, you have to wait for this matter before it's possible. As for this time, Li Xian is really too lazy to follow. His general insight was just a pressure on his hand, which stopped Li Xuanning from breaking his identity in public, and then calmly arched his hand and said, "A certain man came to summon the order of the governor, and asked Lord Li to retreat."

"Ah, okay, okay, okay, you can all retreat, retreat!"

Hearing Li Xian's words, Li Xuanning finally came to his senses, answered in a panic, waved his hand randomly, and drove all the servants and servants who were waiting in the hall out of the hall.

"See Your Highness. I don't know if Your Highness has arrived. If you are not far away, please forgive me."

Although Li Xuanning is a mediocre talent, he may be at the highest position of the assassin, and he will not be a fool. In order to make up for the previous misdemeanor, he is very polite and modest. As soon as the next people go, it will be a big gift.

"It doesn't matter. This trip alone is sneaking in plain clothes. I can't blame Li Shi. Just be flat."

Although Li Xian's heart for changing horses has been firm, he will never show a little bit of his mouth at this time. Instead, he gently appeased Li Xuanning, and then slowly walked to the back of several children and sat down.

"Your Highness is tolerant. The subordinates find out that the tribes want to gather people to do evil. They have sent a dozen call horses to Lanzhou, but they have never replied. The subordinate officials are so anxious that they are out of normal. Fortunately, Your Highness has arrived. The subordinates the backbone of the master. How should act, please ask Your Highness to give instructions, and the subordinates should follow his own!"

Although Li Xian is not surprised, Li Xuanning did not dare to feel at ease. At the time of showing the truth, he tried his best to defend his perverse behavior. In his words, it was both flattery and guarantee, which was full of old officials.

"Well, Lord Li's boxing is the heart of the country. To be honest, Lord Li is here for this purpose. All matters still need Lord Li's full cooperation."

Li Xian is a full-fledged acting school. If he doesn't want people to see the clue, no one can see what he is thinking. Even if Li Xian has actually given up Li Xuanning at this time, but in his words, he does not hesitate to praise, as if he really values Li Xuanning.

"Your Highness is relieved, but there is an order. Although the subordinate dies, he does not dare to resign. He will live up to His Highness's trust!"

As soon as Li Xuanning heard that there was a chance to please Li Xian, there was no unpleasant gift. As soon as Li Xian's voice fell, he couldn't wait to express his voice.

"Okay, I won't say more about gossip, I want to talk about you..."

After all, the official oil is an official oil. Li Xuanning only cares about patting his chest to make a guarantee, but he does not ask whether he is competent for this task. As soon as this is done, Li Xian's dissatisfaction in his heart is immediately more a little more. However, the matter is urgent and he can't change the general. Even if he is reluctant, Li Xian can only use it first. I'm a human, so I'm going to talk about what Li Xuanning has done one by one, and I can hear the light in Li Xuanning's eyes flashing...
