Chapter 1984 External troubles, internal worries!

At Chen, Taiyuan, it was already dawn.

Wang Liaoyuan, Wang Yu, Fang Gongteng, Li Junxian, Dugu Feiying, Han Lizheng and others gathered in the front hall of the inn to discuss the rescue of Li Tai. Tiedan and Mo Chui were worried about Li Tai's safety and also listened in the room.

"Two quarters of an hour ago, I will receive a message from Chang'an Hundred Riding Division, which is about Zhao Deyan's identity!"

As the current temporary highest-level chief executive of Taiyuan City, Li Junxian was in the first place. Seeing that everyone had arrived, he didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point: "Zhao Deyan was originally the magistrate of Qinghe County, Beizhou. He was extremely fickle and good at flattery. He was an official, but he only cared about fish and meat, which made the local people complain!

According to the investigation of Baiqisi, during the Wude period, many local officials had secretly sent a lot of money to Prince Yin to help Prince Yin develop its power. Zhao Deyan was one of them. In just two years, he transferred more than 50,000 stale money to Prince Yin through the governor of Beizhou. In the ninth year of Wude, Prince Yin was killed in the Xuanwu Gate mutiny and ascended the throne. Zhao Deyan was worried that His Majesty would settle the score in the autumn, so he left Beizhou, went to the grassland, and defected to Yu Jieli!

Although this person is good at flattering and flattering, he also has some real skills. After fleeing to the grassland, Zhao Deyan was soon appreciated by Jie Li, and with Jie Li's support, he began to reform the official system on the grassland. Moreover, he himself also took charge of a mysterious army, a team composed of masters selected from Han prisoners!

According to our general's speculation, the army under Zhao Deyan should be the ones who attacked the inn last night! In recent years, Zhao Deyan is likely to use the Han identities of these people to insert them into various prefectures and counties of the Tang Dynasty to inquire about intelligence!

Before, when teachers and students of Yanhuang Academy set off from Yunshan and were preparing to go north to build a telegram relay station, they were probably noticed by the spys who were stationed by Zhao Deyan near Chang'an City, so he had plenty of time to complete this series of layouts in Taiyuan City!”

After Li Junxian said that, everyone in the hall was extremely shocked.

Although some of these contents are based on Li Junxian's speculation, moreover, Li Junxian received a telegram from the Imperial Heavenly Prison in Chang'an City this morning, which was sent to him by the Hundred Riders' Department with the help of the Imperial Heavenly Prison!

Yesterday afternoon, Li Junxian did send a letter through Fei Ge, ordering the Baiqisi in Chang'an City to investigate Zhao Deyan's identity as soon as possible, but at the speed of the carrier pigeon, the Baiqisi probably would have to be in the middle of the night after receiving the letter. In just a few hours, it was impossible to find Zhao Deyan's identity! In fact, last night, after Li Er learned that Li Tai was captured by the Turkic spies, he gave Zhao Song a death order, asking him to use all means, including the Baiqisi. He must find out Zhao Deyan's identity and origin before dawn!

After receiving the order, all the personnel immediately took action. By reviewing countless files overnight, they finally found some of Zhao Deyan's information. Zhao Song brought these information to Li Er and asked the little eunuch of the Imperial Heaven Supervision to help the Baiqisi pass on Zhao Deyan's relevant information to Li Junxian to save Li Tai!

"This Zhao Deyan turned out to be a local official in the Tang Dynasty, but now he is willing to be a lackey of the Turks. It's really hateful!"

Dugu Feiying waved his fist hatefully and said viciously.

Wang Yu said with a serious look: "It is precisely because Zhao Deyan was once a local official in the Tang Dynasty that he knew the Tang Dynasty better than those Turks, so Jie Li arranged him in such an important position. I believe that over the years, the Turkic spies under his command have repeatedly transmitted the information of our Tang Dynasty back to the grassland!"

Wang Liaoyuan nodded and said, "Last night, I interrogated Zhao Deyan overnight and also punished this guy slightly. Although he was afraid of pain and kept screaming, he seemed to have something to rely on and said nothing. Now that your highness is in the hands of the Turkic spies, I dare not impose severe punishment on him, so I have to give up in the end!"

Li Junxian frowned and said, "His reliance is to rely on His Highness in his hands, and we believe that we dare not do anything to him! In addition, I think the most important thing about his move is to delay time and wait for the reinforcements sent by Jie Li to arrive in Taiyuan City! At that time, he will not only escape from the heavens, but also plunder His Highness back to the grassland!"

Wang Liaoyuan hurriedly said: "The Xiaguan rushed forward 800 miles yesterday and sent urgent reports to several border states such as Yunzhou, Youzhou, and notified the governors of each state to strengthen their prevention! With the lessons of Ashinashe's signature leading 50,000 wolf riders to enter the gate, the Xiaguan believes that the governors of each state will strictly prevent them after receiving the urgent reports from their officials. In the current situation, it is unlikely that the Turkic army will sneak into the Tang Dynasty without knowing it!"

"Yeah! Very good!"

Li Junxian couldn't help but nodded and said, "Taiyuan is located in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, not the border. If the Turkic army wants to come in, they can only sneak in. Now the border prefectures have been taken precautions. We have cut off Zhao Deyan's biggest reliance! Next, we just need to concentrate all our efforts to rescue His Highness the King of Wei!"

Fang Gongteng said at this time: "General Li seems to be confident and doesn't know what trick to rescue King Wei? You might as well say that I will cooperate with you with all my strength!"

The others also looked at Li Junxian with anticipation and said, "That's right, it's right, we will definitely cooperate with each other!"

Li Junxian shook his head and said, "It's not that the general is confident, but now there are no external troubles, and the Turkic spies cannot do without Taiyuan City. We have enough time to rescue Your Highness! The most urgent task is to first figure out the situation at Tongfu Inn. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be invincible in a hundred battles!"

Speaking of this, Li Junxian looked at Fang Gongteng and said, "Fang Chengjun, you are fully responsible for the city defense of Taiyuan City these days. You must not allow anyone to enter and exit, but also maintain good 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 also had to be responsible for the security in the city. The pressure would be too great. You should know how big the Taiyuan City is, and there are only more than 80,000 people in the Bingzhou Camp. It is not enough to see such a large city in Taiyuan City! Therefore, Fang Gongteng couldn't help but look at it!

Seeing this, Wang Liaoyuan hurriedly volunteered: "General Li, the city and the city's security are both under the responsibility of the Bingzhou Camp. I may be under too much pressure. It is better to have the yamen runners of the governor's office and the yamen runners of other yamen in Taiyuan City jointly assist Fang Zhanjun in maintaining the security of the city. Fang Zhanjun devoted more energy to the security of the city wall. I wonder what General Li wanted?"
