Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 553 Trap
"Yang Guozhong!" Li Canghai spat out three words one by one.

Hearing this, Yang Shicheng felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his face instantly turned pale.

"My lord, you can't say that! How can this matter be related to Yang Xiang?" Yang Shicheng couldn't believe his ears, and asked in a hurry.

Li Canghai snorted coldly, and said, "Yang Guozhong? Hmph, Zhang Wenyuan is Yang Guozhong's adoptive son, you don't know about this, do you? I'm not afraid to tell you clearly that this rogue from Sang Island was created by Yang Guozhong." It was supported. Its original purpose was to show the Holy One his ability. To put it bluntly, this is just a double reed performed by him and the Ronin of Sang Island."

"It's no wonder the imperial court sent so many troops, but they failed to eradicate those Japanese pirates. It turned out that Yang Guozhong was behind the scenes, hmph! He is so courageous. After returning, I must report this matter to Grandpa Huang!" Li Yu said angrily. Humph.

"One more thing, I think everyone is very curious. Even if half of the defenders of Yangzhou City have left, there are still three support troops stationed outside Yangzhou City. As long as there is an abnormality in Yangzhou City, they can go to support immediately. And those Japanese pirates are just Thousands of people, they know that the Third Support Army can support Yangzhou City at any time, but they still dare to attack Yangzhou, do they really have the confidence to deal with the Third Support Army?" Li Canghai said lightly.

"Yeah, what's going on?" Li Yu asked with a frown.

"That's because someone gave orders to the Third Support Army, no matter what happened, they were not allowed to leave the station. Sangdao Ronin knew in advance that the Third Support Army would not be dispatched, so he was confident." Li Canghai raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly.

"Yang Guozhong, it's Yang Guozhong again!" Li Yu understood in an instant. He gritted his teeth and scolded: "You bastard, you're just a bastard! He actually handed over Yangzhou City to the Japanese pirates?"

In fact, everyone knows that Yang Guozhong holds the military and political power, and only he can make the third support army stand still when Yangzhou is attacked.

Yang Shicheng's face was ugly, but he still couldn't believe it, and said, "My lord, how do you know that they were ordered by Prime Minister Yang?"

"This matter was said by Doihara himself, and all the defenders who guarded the south gate with me have heard it with their own ears. If Master Yang doesn't believe it, you can go to the garrison of the third support army to check in person to see if they have received a soldier who is strictly forbidden." As soon as a pawn is ordered to leave the station, the truth will naturally be known." Li Canghai said calmly.

Yang Shicheng opened his mouth, but stopped talking immediately.

"However, Yang Guozhong has calculated everything, and he always ignores one point. He forgot that you have the jade seal in your hand, so you can do things cheaply." Li Tan, who had always been serious, said.

"That's right. After I figured out a plan, I immediately handed Yuxi to Di Qing, and asked her to go to the reinforcement station on my behalf, and ordered them to pretend to be ordinary people and sneak into the city in batches. In this way, even if there are Japanese insiders in the city, They would never have imagined that the reinforcements had already entered Yangzhou City from under their noses."

"It turns out that Qing'er went to act according to your plan, no wonder I didn't see her." Xue Xuan sighed and said softly.

Li Yu clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Miao, it really is! Those Japanese pirates thought they could easily occupy Yangzhou, but unexpectedly they fell into the trap you carefully woven for them. But what about these three artifacts? What's going on? Didn't I see it being loaded and sent out of Yangzhou City with my own eyes?"

At this time, Conan smiled slightly and said, "King Su didn't know that the three major artifacts were in the county guard's mansion, and they were not sent out of Yangzhou City. It was just to deceive the spy who sneaked into the city for surveillance, and it was done deliberately. Okay. Let them confirm that the three artifacts were indeed sent out of Yangzhou."

Li Yu stroked his chin and pondered, "I see. After you left Yangzhou, you hid. You didn't rush back to Yangzhou until the pirates entered Wengcheng."

Conan nodded and said, "That's right, that's right."

While speaking, a soldier in armor, led by a yamen servant, quickly came to the inner hall.

"Scout from the Tianzi Battalion Jiajun, come to report the military situation!" The soldier knelt on one knee and clasped his fists.

"What's the matter?" Yang Shicheng asked in surprise.

"My lord, all the Japanese pirates ambushing in Qingsong Ridge have been caught." The soldier said.

Yang Shicheng was stunned for a moment, Li Canghai waved his hand at the soldier and said, "Understood, go back and tell your general to guard the prisoners."

The soldier nodded and left the inner hall immediately.

"My lord, what's going on?" Yang Shicheng asked in a daze.

Li Yu tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly let out an ah, and suddenly said: "I still don't understand, the Japanese pirates want to get Yangzhou City, but also want to get the three great artifacts, so they must have divided their forces and set up an ambush in Qingsongling in a vain attempt. To snatch the three great artifacts, but I didn't expect that this matter is actually just a trap of the master!"

Li Canghai looked at Li Yu in surprise, nodded and said, "My lord is right. There are three support armies outside Yangzhou City, namely, the Tianzi Battalion A Army, the Dizi Battalion C Army, and the Kuizi Battalion B Army. Those who sneaked into the city pretending to be ordinary people were the second army of the Kuiziying, and the first army of the Tianziying was sent to Qingsongling by me to surprise the Japanese pirates who were guarding there and trying to snatch the three great artifacts."

"Sir, how did you know they were going to ambush in Qingsong Ridge?" Although Li Yu was very satisfied that he had guessed his arrangement, his confusion did not diminish.

"I think it must be that Zhang Wenyuan told them the route, so they rushed to Qingsong Ridge to set up an ambush?" Li Tan said.

Li Canghai smiled and said: "Your lord is wise, and he saw through the key points at a glance. Yes, Zhang Wenyuan told them on purpose that he would order people to pour medicine into the water of the accompanying people when they escorted the team of the three artifacts to Qingsong Ridge. , In this way, everyone will lose the power to act, and they can easily take away the three artifacts."

"No matter what, they never expected that they didn't wait for the three great artifacts, but instead they waited for the second army of Tianziying." Li Yu accepted his words and said excitedly.

"Yes, in fact, if they join forces, it will definitely be a difficult bloody battle. Maybe they can break through the Wengcheng. However, Doihara is too conceited. He thinks that there are too few defenders in the city. In order to disperse the defenders, Letting the troops have no time to help, they divided into four groups and attacked the city from the four gates at the same time. But in this case, their forces also appeared scattered. There are a total of 200 ronin in Sang Island, and on average, each gate is only more than [-] People, in this way, the pressure on each city gate will be reduced a lot," Li Canghai said.

"Sir, how did you know how many people they came?" Li Yu was a little surprised.

Li Canghai said: "I said before that there are a total of more than 100 rogues in Sang Island. For such a major event as attacking Yangzhou City, they will definitely dispatch more than half of their troops, otherwise it is impossible to attack Yangzhou. And Sang Island is They have worked hard to accumulate their family business for more than ten years, so they will definitely leave people to guard it. However, there are many institutions on Sang Island, and only 200 people are enough to stay. In this way, the Japanese pirates who came out to attack Yangzhou There are more than a thousand people at most. Among the more than a thousand people, they have to split up to snatch the three major artifacts. The guards escorting the three major artifacts are as many as four to five hundred, so even if there are people with internal support who prescribe the medicine, they will not He will take it lightly and send at least [-] people to snatch it."
