Chapter Fifty-Nine: Entering the Blue City
Narambolin really came back, swaggering back with his harem concubines. It's not as embarrassed as when you run away. But when he arrived in the Blue City, no one opened the city gate for him.
Nalamborin was not angry, and sent someone to call the door loudly outside the city!
Li Dakui, who learned of the situation, quickly sent someone to report to Wen Bufan. Before the person who made the announcement came to the courtyard, Tao Zijie came. As soon as he entered the door, he said: "Lord, don't let Nalamborin enter the city!" This unscrupulous man is not worthy to be the master of this city! ”
"Master Tao doesn't have to be like this, I have my own measure." Wen Bufan said with a smile.
At this time, the person sent by Li Dakui arrived, and Wen Bufan said to the man: "Go back and tell General Li to let him into the city!" ”
"Yes!" The man promised to go out.
Tao Zijie suddenly stopped the man and said, "You can listen carefully." The lord said to let him into the city! ”
The man said yes and went back to report the news.
"Let him into the city?" Li Dakui asked the person who delivered the letter.
"Yes. When I came back, Master Tao deliberately repeated it. The messenger said.
Li Dakui thought for a while, his eyes lit up, and he understood.
Li Dakui came to the top of the city wall and shouted below: "Our lord invited Mr. Nalan to come into the city to speak. ”
"Who are you? Don't know me? How dare you call me by my name! Nalamblin asked loudly.
"Who I am has nothing to do with you! If you go into the city, come alone! Li Dakui said unceremoniously.
"Bold! What a big breath! What did you say? Just let me go into town alone? Don't you know who I am? Quickly let Wen Bufan come out and speak! Nalamblin asked loudly.
"That's right!" Li Dakui said.
"You let Wen Bufan come out and speak!" Nalambolin said with an almost growl.
"My father-in-law is very busy and doesn't have time to see you! If you come in, come alone. I still have some things, so I won't be here with you. After saying that, Li Dakui left.
Narambolin looked at the city wall where there was no one anymore, and said to himself, Let's see!
After speaking, he waved his hand and left with his harem concubines!
After Wen Bufan got the news, his expression did not change at all, but Tao Zijie, who wanted to sit aside and drink tea with him, asked, "Where will Nalamblin go?" ”
"Longxi, there is his big rear, every time something happens, he will go to Longxi!" Tao Zijie said.
"Every time something happens. Does Hai Yuanguo often have accidents? Wen Bufan asked.
"Not often, most recently six years ago." Tao Zijie said.
"Six years ago?" Wen Bufan came to his senses as soon as he heard this, and asked, "What happened six years ago?" ”
"Hey! I don't even have the face to say this! Tao Zijie nodded and recalled: "Six years ago, I don't know why. The men of Nalambolin have captured many slaves! These slaves were sent by Nalambolin to dig coal and mine in various places, and to do all kinds of heavy labor. Many slaves were overwhelmed and died, and Nalambolin profited from it! At that time, the righteous people in the court persuaded Narambolin not to treat those slaves like this, but Narambolin did not listen at all. Finally, one day, an Assassin broke into the palace to assassinate Nalambolin. Narambolin was protected by the guards and survived. The Assassin came several more times, and although Nalambolin reinforced the palace guards, he was unable to stop the Assassin. So Nalan Bolin quietly ran to Longxi and stayed for half a year before coming back. But the Assassin never reappeared. ”
"Where did Narambolin get so many people back six years ago?" Wen Bufan asked.
"I heard it was rescued from the sea." Tao Zijie said: "That year, there seemed to be a lot of people floating along the coastal line here, but not many were alive!" ”
Wen Bufan seemed to understand why the Holy Maiden Xiyue was going to provoke a war!
"Master Tao, is there anyone else available in this Blue City?" Wen Bufan asked.
"Those who are afraid of death have all run away, and the rest, of course, there are also those who can't run away. But most of them are worth using. Tao Zijie said.
"Go back and tell me the list of these people and their current official positions, and if there are people available in the people, you can also tell me!" Wen Bufan said to Tao Zijie.
"Good!" Tao Zijie said.
"Don't be in a hurry to leave, I'll send someone now Li Dakui called, let's take a look at the garrison of Sea Blue City." What do you say Nalambolin will do after he goes to Longxi? After Wen Bufan finished speaking, he ordered someone to call Li Dakui.
"After he returns to Longxi, it is estimated that he will raise troops to crusade against us." Tao Zijie said.
"You think so, too?"
"Yes. After all, he is still the king of Haiyuan Country now, and the Xichi Kingdom and the North and South Yue Kingdom have not reaped benefits here before, so it is estimated that he will come again! Tao Zijie said.
Wen Bufan listened silently.
At this time, Li Dakui walked in. Wen Bufan motioned for Li Dakui to sit down and speak.
"How many defenders are there in the Blue City now?" Wen Bufan asked.
After Li Dakui sat down, he said, "Even the forbidden army has 160,000!" ”
"How many people are there in Longxi? How many troops will there be in Nalambolin? Wen Bufan asked.
"There are 200,000 garrisons in Longxi, and the army of Haiyuan Kingdom is mainly concentrated in Hailan City and Longxi, and the rest of the places are local troops with more than 350,000 troops and as few as a few thousand, and there is no combat effectiveness!" Li Dakui said.
"The 200,000 soldiers and horses in Longxi don't pose any threat." Wen Bufan said.
Wen Bufan stood up, came to the table, picked up a pen and wrote something on the paper. After a while, Wen Bufan spoke: "General Li, from today onwards, follow this training. The entire city defense is also deployed according to this! Wen Bufan said as he handed the things he had just written to Li Dakui.
Li Dakui took it and took a closer look. Tao Zijie also came over. The two of them nodded and applauded while watching!
"Don't worry, my lord, I'll start training tomorrow!" Li Dakui said.
"Master Tao!" Wen Bufan said again: "How has the warehouse been sorted out in the past few days? ”
"It's sorted out, some accounts haven't been cleared yet, and it is estimated that within five days, all of them can be ordered. But in the royal palace, it has not yet been counted. Tao Zijie said.
"Is there anyone else in the palace?" Wen Bufan asked.
"I've already escaped! The maids and guards are left! Tao Zijie said: "The treasury is already locked, and I know that after Nalamborin escaped, I went to the palace. Now those who guard outside the palace treasury are trustworthy. I told them long ago that no one is allowed to open the treasury of the palace without the order of the lord! Please rest assured! ”
Wen Bufan nodded and said, "Tomorrow!" Tomorrow we will go and open the treasury of the palace and take stock! ”
