So I play chess

Chapter 115 Prepare first
Hearing what Zhixia said, Li Mao smiled and said, "It's human nature, but Miss Zhixia understands it, why is Missy still hesitating now?"

As Li Mao said, Wen Gu did hesitate, but the reason was not what he said.

If she had never seen war before receiving Yang Wantang's letter, and had never experienced such a dense death of people around her, she might still have such thoughts.

But after going through the calamity and rebirth in Tongcheng, she understood the truth of doing her best but also doing what she can.

But she didn't think she was good.

It was only after Li Maoyin suffered such an innocent disaster that she had some hesitation in her heart.

If the destiny she bears is something like the way of heaven, then what does this so-called way of heaven want her to do, and what does it allow her to do?
She can change her own destiny and that of the Liangzhou army.Can it change more people, and even change the fate of people in the world?
What is the price of these?Could it be that because of her greed, things that were originally within her ability would encounter unpredictable consequences?

But she didn't dare to say much at this time, so she couldn't get other people's explanation, but time was tight, and there was no chance for her to calm down and think carefully, so she had to ask and think.

"If you choose a dangerous place, where is it suitable?"

Li Mao saw that Wen Gu hadn't made up his mind, and there was still hesitation in his tone.

He didn't know why the eldest lady suddenly changed. From his own judgment before, the eldest lady should be decisive for such a similar decision.But since he was asked at this time, he also said bluntly: "From the perspective of the seven counties outside Tongcheng, the most suitable one is Qianlong County in the east."

Qianlong County is located in a valley between mountains, and there are barriers on both sides. It has not become a barren mountain due to stone mining. On the contrary, there are still large forests, which can be used to resist and hide.

Moreover, there is not much arable land in the area under its jurisdiction, so although the county is relatively vast, there are still a lot of vacant areas.

Compared with the other six counties, Qianlong County's position is quite embarrassing. If a large army is stationed here, although it is easy to hold on, there is no way out.However, at this time, it is indeed most suitable to resettle the population of the remaining six counties.

Wen Gu didn't say yes or no, and said, "How should we do it?"

Li Mao thought to himself, when she left Tongcheng that day, since the eldest lady knew how to arrange the people in Tongcheng, how could she not know how to arrange it now? .”

Li Mao didn't continue talking, but Wen Gu didn't say anything.Zhixia didn't think about what the two of them were talking about, but felt that the atmosphere was not right.

Just at this time, the maid said that the meal was ready, so they invited them to eat.

"Miss, let's eat first."

Wen Gu got up to respond, walked to the door, and finally settled down and said to Li Mao: "Dingyi's army is also from Southern Chu after all, will Chuyang Pass drive away the people of Southern Chu to attack the city?"

Li Mao replied: "What is the current situation of Chuyangguan? Since the eldest lady has made arrangements, she must be clear. Southern Chu has no affection for him."

"Okay. I won't go against the law of heaven to save people." Wen Gu sighed, "No one in Tongcheng is easy to do this matter. Since there are bandits outside, let the bandits do it."

Only then did Li Mao salute.

Wen Gu said again: "Find someone to inform Uncle Wen and ask him to do this together with Commander Zhao."

Li Mao hurriedly said: "The enemy is now, Marquis Yu still needs to take care of the eldest lady in the city as much as possible. This is the most suitable thing for me and Commander Zhao to do."

Wen Gu didn't think so, but Li Mao had just woken up, and when he was asked to do things at this time, Wen Gu was always worried: "You should recuperate in the city."

Seeing that Wen Gu was about to leave after finishing speaking, Li Mao hurried to catch up two steps, and said again: "It's okay if I bring a medical officer. Only Zhou Tong in the city may not be enough."

Seeing Li Mao's firm attitude, Wen Gu was afraid that if he refused him again, he might misunderstand him, so he said, "Be careful when riding a horse."

Only then did Li Mao feel at ease, and he would leave the city without even eating.Wen Gu asked Zhixia to fill the fruit box and bring it to him.

The meal was restless. Whether it was the resettlement of the people in the seven counties or the selection of Li Maowenliang, it was not the best arrangement.

The best way now is to use the war as an excuse to use the Liangzhou army outside the city to send the people of the seven counties to Qianlong County and Tongcheng one after another. But once this is the case, the news will inevitably leak out. How to explain the cause of the war to Chuyangguan Come?Then how to explain Tang Mingyi's death with Nanchu Chaotang?I am afraid that the previous layout will fail a lot because of these.

So he can only act as a bandit.

But the two identities of "Tongcheng Army" and "Bandit" are very different to the common people, and it is even more difficult to say what kind of new troubles will be caused.

In the final analysis, it was because she knew so little.After all, Tongcheng is too remote. If she wants to get rid of this "helpless", she must get in touch with and know more things.

She is going to Lianzhou.

"They're going to Lianzhou!"

In a small courtyard in Anningfang, Tongcheng, Xu Zhongyan, Cheng Wangshu, and Su Xing were sitting in the room.

On the table were the pastries that Pleiades had just bought from Cross Street in Nanshi, along with the news of Tongcheng prefect and Bibu doctor.

"Why?" Cheng Wangshu asked.

"I can't figure it out, aren't they all from His Highness the Second Highness? They just returned home a day ago. The Second Highness explained things to them so quickly?"

Su Xing replied, seeing that Cheng Wangshu was silent, and said: "Song You will never really ask them to send horses and weapons, right? That old man with a dirty mind, is it so simple to do things?"

Xu Zhongyan saw that Su Xing was speaking freely, but he was not good at speaking, so he could only cough twice.

"You heard it when you heard it, cough what cough." Su Xing glanced at him, "Don't worry, if I accidentally say something that shouldn't be known to you, I will kill you, and I promise not to leak the secret."

Xu Zhongyan had seen how powerful Su Xing was, and he felt ashamed at first, and he didn't dare to refute, let alone scold, and she didn't listen to his own principles, so he just buried his head in eating the cake.

Seeing him like this, Su Xing didn't chase after him, and said again: "Mr. Ling Guang's letter only asked us to inquire about the Second Highness first, but didn't let us go directly to the Second Highness. This is also strange. Could it be The Second Highness is not in Tongcheng?"

"Not here." Cheng Wangshu replied simply.

From the moment he entered Tongcheng, Cheng Wangshu went to various news points to check and search, but he did not see the Second Highness and his guards.They have not been found in some possible places.

Su Xing said again: "Then how do we find it? I heard today that there is a prefect aunt in Tongcheng who is quite famous. Since she is related to the prefect, why don't we go to her house to find out?"
