In the city of Xihai.

Taishici did not get involved in many other government affairs, but instead focused his eyes on the sand table and looked at the terrain around Xihai City.

"Is General Wenyuan going here to meet the enemy?" Taishi Ci pointed to the sand table and pointed to the location of the military camp and asked.

Han Guo nodded and said, "I'll set out first, and then General Wen Yuan should have set out after two days. Calculate the time, and now he should be back..."

Taishici frowned, "Wen Yuan just passed by like this, aren't you worried about ambushing?"

Han Guo replied: "There is indeed an ambush, probably in this area... General Wen Yuan was around..."

Taishi Ci was stunned for a moment when she heard this, "Go around?"

Since it is an ambush, you naturally need to observe the enemy's movements more. If it is so easy to be surrounded by the enemy, then it is still a fart ambush?

Han Guo nodded and said, "Most of the Western Regions coalition forces are ordinary herders."

"Where is the elite?" Taishi Ci pointed to the military camp and said, "All of them are here?"

Han Guo nodded.

Taishi Ci laughed, "This is really... OK, let's not talk about the distance from the article, come up and talk about how they fight Wusun... How many of these Wusun people are and how strong are they?"

Han Guo nodded, then walked to the front of the sand table and began his recapitalization of the war against Wusun.

The Wusun people deviated from the main areas of the Western Regions, or were too far from Xihai City, so they had never learned the corresponding experience. This is normal, just like the farmer in the countryside was imagining that the emperor must be using a golden shoulder pole, because that was already the limit that the farmer could imagine.

The limit that the Wusun people could imagine was probably the power and soldiers that Gao Shun had shown before...

This is not difficult to judge.

Otherwise, the Wusun people would not dare to go out again.

"Before the lord comes to the West Sea, we will solve Wusun first!" Taishi Ci said in a deep voice, "You attacked Wusun with five hundred cavalry at night. By dawn, these people will definitely find that you are short of numbers, so...

Han Guo looked at Taishi Ci, "I will take another 500 people to lure the enemy? While the Wusun people don't know that the general has arrived here... but where should I lead them?"

Taishici nodded, "How about you just go to the city?"

Han Guo said: "Under the city? Then in the city..."

Taishici smiled and said nothing.

Han Guo nodded and said, "I will receive the order!"

Han Guo did not say that he had just come back and needed to rest, wash and eat before he could leave. Instead, he called several civil servants who were originally following him and conveyed the things that Taishi Ci told him to these two or three people in front of Taishi Ci, and then bowed to Taishi Ci and left.

Taishi Ci nodded to the civil servants, recognized his face, and said nothing.

The two or three civil servants didn't say much, and after giving a tribute, they did what Han Guo said.

Han Guo stepped back and prepared to set off, but Liu Min came in and reported to Taishici: "You are the thief confessing..."

"What did you ask?" asked Taishi Ci.

Liu Min replied, "Qi Bizhun, his original name is Pang Jing, a native of Qiao State. His ancestor was once the commander of Liaodong, but was traitor..."

Taishi Ci frowned and waved his hand, "You will add these detailed pasts later. The key is that there are other spies in Xihai City, and who will be there afterwards?"

Liu Min swallowed all the subsequent ones into his stomach, then picked up the important one and said, "He confessed that he was a son of Yang, known as Kan, who called himself the school secretary of Prime Minister Cao..."

"School Secretary?" Taishi Ci widened his eyes, "Okay, this hand is stretched out to the Western Regions! This person gave it without making any requests?"

"He mentioned one thing, which was to save his family, and his family was in the hands of Yang's son." Liu Min replied, "I will agree first."

"what else?"

『He said that because his family was in the hands of Yang Shizi, he had been to the courtyard of Yang Shizi and suspected that the courtyard was digging tunnels...』 Liu Min said in a deep voice, 『Because he saw some new soil in the courtyard... he just didn't know the situation of the tunnels and where they led...』

"Okay, okay! There are rat holes everywhere in Xihai City!" Taishi Ci laughed.

Taishici stood up and turned around twice, "Since he is a school clerk, I must know the method of using the system. Now that he has arrested this person, if he delays, he will definitely know... Tonight, he will be assigned to him and arrest him immediately, so don't let him escape!"

"No! My subordinates have already drawn the most elite personnel and will definitely catch them!" Liu Min replied.

Taishici asked again: "In addition, you must keep a close eye on other suspicious things! I suspect that there are many people from other places in Xihai City! There must be more than one place to say this authenticity!"

Liu Min bowed and said, "When my subordinates knew about the tunnel, they mobilized Xihai City Tuyu to check the layout of the courtyard of Lifang... If the tunnel is excavated in Xihai City, it must be closer to the city wall, otherwise the difficulty will increase and it will be easily discovered. There are also enough places to dig, so there should not be too many people entering and leaving..."

"Talk the result directly!" Taishici said with a frown.

"Wi." Liu Min took two steps forward, reached the edge of the sand table, pointed to the outline of Xihai City and said, "In the west and north of the city, here, here, and here, there are three places, most likely, all of which are suitable in and out of the courtyard, and there are few people entering and leaving in the weekdays..."

Taishici glanced at Liu Min and nodded. Overall, Liu Min was quite capable, so Taishici said: "Do you have any plans? How many people are missing?"

Liu Min said: "Although my subordinates generally doubt these three places, they cannot rule out whether there are any fish that have missed the net. However, as soon as they are alarmed, the fish will definitely run away! Therefore, the general asked the general to increase the patrol of the four fields outside the city, within ten miles of the city, but there are many scouts to monitor the trees and shrubs..."

"But!" Taishi Ci nodded and said, "I will send a team of troops to you, and you will arrange the arrest in the city! Do it well, don't lose the face of Wen Si!"

Liu Min bowed down and kowtowed loudly.

This matter is simple, but it is actually simple. It is naturally very complicated.

Lu Bu won't mention it. Even if Zhang Liao came, even if Liu Min went to investigate and arrest him, he would not be able to do anything. Because Zhang Liao had insufficient personnel, only when Taishi Ci brought enough personnel at the moment, and these people could not have any connection with the locals in the Western Regions, could there be a way to completely encircle the spies in Xihai City.

Night soon came, and the city of Xihai was silent under the night.

A team of cavalry marched on the main street in Xihai City, with the sound of horse hooves kicking and stomping, conveying far away in the quiet night.

Under the cover of the sound of horse hooves, some figures appeared in the darkness, and followed the routes planned before, and touched the three most suspected courtyards.

Liu Min's eyes were bright outside the courtyard of the Yang son who was confessed to.

There are two entrances to this courtyard, and the inner and outer yards are separated by the middle yard gate. Perhaps it is because the inner and outer yards are separated to have space to dig tunnels. The outer yard has a main hall and a main room and four wing rooms, which are all pitch black at this time.

When Liu Min saw that the people in front and behind the courtyard were already in place, he waved his hand and someone quietly climbed over the wall. After a while, he felt like he poured some oil on the hub of the outer door, and then almost silently removed the door latch and opened the courtyard door.

There was a faint smell of blood floating in the outer courtyard.

Liu Min glanced at the dark corner of the courtyard, and a person fell down. He seemed to be not completely angry, but he was pressed, not only could he not move his hands and feet, but he could not even make a sound...

Liu Min observed that no abnormalities were found in the outer courtyard. This is normal. After all, the outer courtyard is used to meet with foreign guests most of the time. Even if there are fewer contacts in the weekdays, placing the tunnel in the outer courtyard will undoubtedly increase a lot of risks, so it will basically be set up in the inner courtyard.

Just as Liu Min's subordinates touched the outer courtyard and went to the inner courtyard, a few crisp bells suddenly rang, which was particularly harsh in the silence!

It turned out that in the darkness of the inner courtyard, someone tied a blackened bell to the rope. As long as the door was pushed and pulled, it would make a sound immediately!

With the sound of bells, a figure flashed at the window of a room in the inner courtyard and disappeared immediately.

"Don't go!" Seeing that the hidden secret was broken, Liu Min shouted loudly, reached out and pointed, "Break the door!"

This secret bell also proves that there must be ghosts in the courtyard!

One person flew up and kicked directly at the wooden door of the room. With a sound, the man groaned. Not only did he fail to kick the door open, but he seemed to hurt himself.

I heard some shouts sound inside the door, and then there was a sound of rumbling through the cabinets.

Liu Min's face changed, "Enter the window! Break the door!"

Someone immediately smashed the window, but found that it was blocked by bookshelf inside, and someone pushed and pulled hard.

At the door, there was also a strong man holding an iron vertebrae and knocking the wooden board of the door into pieces in a blink of an eye. He went up and kicked it with his feet, and the bookshelf and wardrobe piled up inside were pushed open by the strong man.

When Liu Min and others entered, they heard a sound of clattering deep in the room. Following the sound, they found the wooden board covered in the corner. After lifting the board, someone stabbed it up with a gun and almost stabbed the person who lifted the board.

The person who lifted the wooden board retreated to the side, and one of them held a bow and shot an arrow at the shadow of the cave where the shadow was swaying!

The bowstring sounded and the person screamed. Then someone rushed down, and shouted: "Take it down! Someone ran forward!"

Another person jumped down on a torch. Liu Min also took a torch and jumped down to take a look. He saw a half-sized room dug up underground, and there was a hole in the corner, extending to the darkness. The hole was not big, but he could walk almost upright.

Liu Min judged the direction of the hole and snorted coldly.

Xihai City is close to the west wall, and there is a low-sized house that is not very eye-catching. Inside the house, there are some messy things, and a few mice squeaking, as if they were frightened, staring in a certain direction.

A wooden board on the ground was suddenly lifted up, revealing a hole and a black shadow emerged.

The mice were fleeing in fear.

The black shadow had no time to observe the surroundings, so he came out in panic. He did not open the door and escape immediately. Instead, he grabbed a thick wooden stick beside him, and then supported it under a stone mill. He pushed his shoulder forward with force, and saw the stone mill slowly rolling onto the wooden board at the entrance of the cave, pressing the wooden board creaking.

Voices came from the entrance of the cave, and some lights and fires flashed in the gap between the wooden boards. Then someone seemed to be pushing the wooden board, but it could not be pushed at all. Only some curses were heard low and muffled...

The black shadow then gasped for a few moments, ran to a small cabinet, threw out all the messy objects, lifted up the partition under the cabinet, then took out a hidden package, carried it behind her, and stood at the door and listened for a few breaths, then opened the door bolt, and ran out.

Outside the house was a narrow alley. The man rushed forward quickly along the shadows of the surrounding area. He walked out not far and suddenly stopped, and seemed to find something wrong. He just wanted to turn around, but it was too late. Two black shadows around had already rushed up, knocking him to the ground, and then pressing him tightly on the ground. Then more people rushed up, pressing his hands, pressing his feet, and some people stepped on his face, making him unable to scream, coughing and it was difficult for him to breathe...

…_(:з」∠)_…

In places like the Western Regions, there is little rain and drought, and the land surface is mostly loess structure, which is very suitable for digging holes. Just like a kaner well, as long as it is well maintained, the wind and frost will not collapse for thousands of years.

The question is that the caves like Kaneri are beneficial, but are other holes...

If Xihai City had not been built for a long time, it would have been a few years before it could have been connected to the tunnel war!

Taishici ordered Liu Min to thoroughly investigate the "rat disease" in the city, but he did not expect that more than a nest of mice were caught!

Just when Liu Min was taking people to capture Yang's son, Ye Bushang, who was cruising outside the city, also caught many groundhogs who were alarmed and fleeing out!

When Taishi Ci received the report from his subordinates, she didn't know whether she should be angry or laughing. If this was used as a comparison, Guan Er and the others would be pretty good. If these groundhogs hidden in daily life were really surrounded by Xihai City one day, I'm afraid they won't know how to break the city defense at that time!

At this time, Taishici realized more and more the difficulties in the Western Regions that General Fei Qian of the Cavalry said.

There are no friends here, all of them are enemies.
