Li Xiang stayed in the Juhu camp for three days and when he returned to Xiliang City, he met the soldiers sent by Li Yi. Zhang Qingyun, the lord of Xiliang City, looked anxious.
He had just rushed back from the small town. News spread that the six major forces outside the Northwest Pass were forming an alliance to besiege Xiliang City. After Zhang Qingyun heard the news, he quickly threw Lingzhu into the station and rushed back.
The bamboo can be sold at any time, but the news must be sent back as soon as possible.
Whether it was true or a lie, they had to be prepared. At the same time, he was also collecting intelligence in the town. For the first time, Zhang Qingyun felt that Xiliang City was in urgent need of an intelligence agency.
When Li Yi heard the news, he did not panic. There were two cities in the north and south of Xiliang. As long as those two cities were still in their Xiliang city, they were still safe. At the same time, he sent people to the Juhu camp to inform Prime Minister Li.
Li Yi still sympathizes with the six forces outside the Northwest Pass. Now their third batch of grain in Xiliang City has begun to be harvested. The grain road has been built. It only takes a day and a half to transport grain from Juhu Camp. There are still five grains in Xiliang City.
Ten years of grain storage capacity.
As long as the lord misses him, Xiliang City can recruit another 5,000 people!
Yu!
Li Xiang walked quickly into the city lord's palace. When he heard the sound coming from outside, the sadness on Zhang Qingyun's face disappeared. The two of them looked in the direction of the door, and Li Xiang walked in in casual clothes.
"What happened?" Li Xiang hurriedly asked the messenger what happened.
Li Yidao: "Master Zhang heard in the small town that six other first-rate forces outside the customs formed an alliance to launch an attack on our Xiliang City!"
"Six first-class forces outside the Northwest Pass?" This was the first time Prime Minister Li heard this: "Those six forces?"
Zhang Qingyun said: "These six forces are Lou Fan, Ji Mo in the northern wilderness, Yulong Gang, Xueshan, Jinsha Gang and Xuanzhai in the southern wilderness!"
"How many people are they planning to send?" Li Xiang was a little interested.
Zhang Qingyun said: "I heard in the town that a total of 9,000 people were dispatched. The troops were divided into three groups and attacked our Xiliang City in one fell swoop. This is the information that my subordinates can collect. I still have a few people left in the town.
Collect intelligence, and if there is any latest information, they will send it back."
Li Xiang felt a little stressed and looked at Li Yi: "How many farmers are there who have not yet changed their jobs?"
Farmers also need to change jobs, some will be transferred to lumberjacks, some will be transferred to blacksmiths, and some will be transferred to fishermen. The farmers recruited in the last batch will definitely have a higher level than the farmers just recruited now.
Li Yi knew Xiang Li's plan and lowered his head and said: "Back to my lord, all of them have been transferred!"
Xiang Li nodded when he heard this: "It's okay, you organize some of the prisoners to transport food to the Juhu camp!"
There are still 500,000 units of food in the camp. If there are no soldiers, recruit them.
Thinking of Li Xiangdao: "Temporarily recruit 5,000 more people, including 2,000 spearmen, 1,000 swordsmen, 1,000 archers, and 1,000 militiamen!
Order a thousand militiamen to be transferred to the profession of swordsmen!"
There must be militiamen. When the Xiliang army goes out to fight, the militiamen will be the troops guarding the Juhu camp.
Zhang Qingyun remained silent. He thought that Li Xiang was talking about recruiting soldiers from among the people. Since the establishment of Xiliang City, he didn't know where his lord found so many big men.
Every soldier and peasant in Xiliang City is an eight-foot tall man. Such large men are rare even in Dagan.
But he was smart enough not to ask anything. This was the master's password, and all he wanted to do was to complete the tasks assigned to him by the master.
Li Yi nodded slightly. At present, the farmers in Xiliang have enough to support them, even if the number of troops reaches 20,000, they can still support them.
Li Xiang looked at Zhang Qingyun: "Qingyun, the march route of the six major forces is not clear yet. I have to trouble Qingyun to go to the town again. I will send three cavalry to you and match you with a war horse. If there is any situation, I will rush forward.
Send it back immediately!"
Zhang Qingyun nodded solemnly: "Yes!"
Only Zhang Qingyun in Xiliang City knows something about the town. Zhang Qingyun's teacher Zhou Hangjie is still in the town. He must know something. It depends on how Zhang Qingyun does it.
After Zhang Qingyun said goodbye to Li Xiang, he quickly rushed to Qingzhuzhai Pier under the protection of three cavalrymen, got on the fastest warship and rushed back to the town as quickly as possible.
In the blink of an eye, only Li Xiang and his bodyguards were left in the city lord's palace. Both Li Yi and Zhang Qingyun were much busier than Li, the lord. When there was no fighting in Xiliang City, Li Xiang was the most idle person.
A large number of peasants came out of the city lord's palace one after another, and then went to the major military camps to transfer to various soldiers. The successful transfer of a thousand swordsmen cost Li Xiang 10,000 taels of silver.
Xiliang City is preparing for war. After receiving orders from Prime Minister Li, the two cities of Beixuan City and Nanli City entered a state of war. Soldiers on the city walls patrolled day and night. The food storage capacity of the two cities
There are enough, so you don’t need to worry about being surrounded and running out of food.
There was no food problem, and the city gates were closed tightly. The scouts sent by the six major forces looked at them and felt at a loss what to say. The troops in Xiliang City were too stable!
small town
Zhang Qingyun came to the town and took two guards to the outside of a small courtyard.
Zhang Qingyun took the fish that had a little blue in it all day and came to the small yard and knocked on the door gently.
Click, click, click!
The door opened and an old man appeared. Zhang Qingyun saw a smile on the old man's face: "Uncle Fu!"
"Qingyun!" The white-haired Uncle Fu was a little happy: "You kid is finally willing to come over!"
Zhang Qingyun was a little embarrassed. After Zhou Yulan left the town, there were a lot of things in Xiliang City, which kept him busy every day. There was no time to come and visit his mentor.
I originally planned to come here to sell some green bamboo, but as soon as I arrived in the town, I heard the news that the six major forces were going to besiege Xiliang City, so I hurried back.
"Uncle Fu, is your mentor here?" Zhang Qingyun asked.
Uncle Fu clapped his hands: "You really chose the wrong time. This morning, I went to the north with my friends to enjoy the flowers. This trip will take seven or eight days!"
Uncle Fu said and took Zhang Qingyun's hand: "Come here, sit inside and Uncle Fu will cook you a delicious meal. The lady has left, and you will follow Camp Master Li. Now I will also go out with my old friends."
, I’m the only one left at home!”
Zhang Qingyun sounded a little guilty: "Well, I'll let them go back first!"
Zhang Qingyun asked the guards to return to the station. Only Uncle Fu and Zhang Qingyun were left in the yard. After a while, the table in the yard was filled with all kinds of delicacies.
Over there in Xiliang City, the food Zhang Qingyun ate was either baked or boiled. Anyway, there was enough salt and no other seasonings. He was full but the taste was just like that.
Looking at the table of delicious, delicious and delicious dishes in front of him, Zhang Qingyun ate with all his heart. Uncle Fu was watching from the side, remembering that when Zhang Qingyun and the lady had dinner together in the past, as long as the master was not around, the two of them would fight over each other.
eat.
"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you!" Uncle Fu poured a glass of water for Zhang Qingyun.
Zhang Qingyun ate the food and said: "Uncle Fu, although the life in the small town is good, it is limited. Why don't you tell your mentor that you and your mentor will return to Xiliang City, which is Qingzhu Village!
The current Qingzhu Village has changed a lot from the previous Qingzhu Village. There are many children there. The teacher doesn’t want to worry about anything anymore. He can teach those children knowledge in Qingzhu Village. With those children accompanying you, you, the old man, will not
I’ll feel lonely!”
Zhang Qingyun said while eating.
Uncle Fu sat next to Zhang Qingyun: "If you go to Xiliang City, you will be besieged by several other big forces. Whether you can survive is still a question. You have to be careful. If you find anything wrong, run to the small town immediately.
Come to town!”
Zhang Qingyun put down his bowl and chopsticks: "Uncle Fu, do you know about the alliance of the six major forces?"
Uncle Fu looked at Zhang Qingyun's nervous look and smiled: "Uncle Fu knows that you come here from time to time just to look at the master. He is not here, but I usually follow the master. I also know that every now and then, you are eating, and I will follow slowly.
you say!"

Fish Dragon Gang
Zhao Er was sitting on the throne in a brocade robe, and the spy in black was half-kneeling on the ground: "General manager, according to the investigation by secret agents, there is a 90% chance that Prime Minister Li of Xiliang is Prime Minister Li, a disciple of General Daqian!"
Zhao Er smiled slightly, and his handsome face made the secret agent below who raised his head quickly lower his head.
"Does he have any connection with the Great Wall Legion?"
It is not that there are no spies in Black Tiger City among their Yulong Gang. There have been cavalry in Xiliang City. Apart from the Great Wall Army, no other force has cavalry outside the Northwest Pass. Even their Yulong Gang only has a few horses for transportation.
Ma, the quality is still very poor.
The spy shook his head: "This is not clear. The spies in the Great Wall Legion did not find any connection between the Great Wall Legion and Xiliang. Before, the Great Wall Legion wanted to support Black Tiger City, but they did not expect Black Tiger City to be so neat.
They will be destroyed by the Great Wall Legion!"
"Oh?" Zhao Er's eyes were full of curiosity: "This Li Xiang is really mysterious. By the way, Zhou Hangjie, has Mr. Zhou remained peaceful all these years?"
When the spy heard Zhao Er's question, there was something strange in his lowered eyes: "Master Zhou, you have been in Qingzhu Village all these years, until Qingzhu Village was destroyed and led by Li Xiang in Xiliang City to the small town.
Now I am living next to Taoist master Wu Daochang, and this morning I will go to the north with Wu Daochang to enjoy the flowers!"
"Well!" Zhao Er waved his hand: "Go down!"
The spy stood up, bowed, and bowed out respectfully. A figure came out from behind the pillar.
Zhao Er leaned lazily on the throne: "But Zi Yi?"
The black shadow nodded, and a charming smile appeared on Zhao Er's lips: "My ancestors really guessed right, Master Zhou is really powerful, the secret guards can even intervene!"
Zhao Er said and looked at the shadow: "Do you think our family can win this week?"
The black shadow made a hoarse voice: "It's difficult! The power of the Ziyi organization is higher than the six major forces. Unless you can win Xiliang over, you will not be Ziyi's opponent!"
Zhao Er rolled his eyes at the shadow: "This mouth really can't speak!"
The black shadow stood there without saying a word, which made Zhao Er feel very bored. He just sat down and asked: "Is there any way to sneak in in Xiliang, or contact Li Xiang?"
The black shadow thought for a moment and said: "The major cities in Xiliang are heavily guarded and cannot be approached. If you want to see Li Xiang, you can start with Zhang Qingyun!"
"Zhang Qingyun?" Zhao Er had an impression in his mind: "The only disciple who accompanied Mr. Zhou on his great expedition?"
The black shadow nodded: "Zhang Qingyun joined Xiliang City and became Li Xiang's assistant. He was responsible for Qingzhu Village and Xuanshui Village. He was trusted by Li Xian. If you want to see Li Xiang, you can go through this person."
"Zhang Qingyun is currently in Lord Zhou's courtyard in the small town!"
"Then we really have to go see him!" Zhao Er said, standing up and taking a look at the shadow: "Keep an eye on the secret guard!"
The black shadow nodded and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Zhao Er changed into white clothes. This brocade robe was difficult to wear out.
Small courtyard
"Uncle Fu, I'll see you again after a while!" Zhang Qingyun had eaten and drank enough, and got some information from Uncle Fu. After chatting for another hour, Zhang Qingyun looked at the sky and said goodbye to Uncle Fu.
Not far out of the yard, Zhang Qingyun put his hand on the hilt of his sword. Fulber, who was about to pack his things when he returned to the yard, paused, then walked to the edge of the yard and took a broom to gently sweep some fallen leaves on the ground.
Zhao Er, dressed in white, stood in front of Zhang Qingyun. Zhang Qingyun narrowed his eyes. At this moment, six big men rushed out from the side to protect Zhang Qingyun.
"I wonder what's the matter with you?" The guards appeared, and Zhang Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief. You can't use weapons in the town, but what if the other party sends a dead soldier to replace you?
Zhao Er took a look at the Xiliang soldiers, and it was as expected in the intelligence. Each of the Xiliang soldiers was eight feet taller, and the lord of Xiliang City, Li Xiang, was nine feet taller. He was extremely powerful, and would always be the first to attack in every battle, killing countless people.
Zhao Er said with a smile: "Zhao Er, from the Yulong Gang, would like to invite Mr. Zhang to a gathering at Juying Building. I wonder if Mr. Zhang can give me some face?"
Ichthyosaurus Gang Zhao Er?
The general manager of the Yulong Gang! Zhang Qingyun glanced at the growing number of people around him. They were all members of the Yulong Gang. He only had six people under his command. Reinforcements were still on the way, so he had to stabilize the opponent first.
"How dare Qingyun refuse Mr. Zhao's invitation?" Zhang Qingyun said with a smile.
Zhao Er laughed: "Mr. Zhang, please!"
Zhang Qingyun was half a step behind Zhao Er, and soon came to a private room in Juying Building.
The private room was already filled with all kinds of delicacies. It seemed that the other party had prepared it for a long time. Zhang Qingyun did not have any expectations and sat in his seat.
"Mr. Zhao, if you have anything to say, please speak up!" Zhang Qingyun stared at Zhao Er.
Zhao Er sat in the chair and smiled and said: "I heard that Mr. Zhang is in Xiliang City. Zhao Er is also from the Imperial Capital of Daqian. I heard that Li Xiang and City Master Li are also from the Imperial Capital. We are both from our hometown. I want to meet City Master Li Xiang. I met you first, and I wonder if Mr. Zhang can introduce me to you?"
Zhang Qingyun smiled: "General Manager Zhao, if you are waiting for the six major forces to form a coalition and want to meet my lord, you can meet on the battlefield. Do you still need me to introduce him?"
Zhao Er shook his head: "This is different. To be honest, I am not optimistic about this alliance. There are two cities in the north and south, and a Xuanshui Lake in the middle. It is difficult to capture it with only nine thousand people!"
Zhang Qingyun was a little confused: "If this is the case, why does Mr. Zhao still participate?"
Zhao Er smiled and said: "If we don't join, our Yulong Gang may have to withdraw from the Northwest Pass. I wonder if Mr. Zhang knows which force is organizing the alliance this time?"
