Li Jing's order was quickly conveyed, and since there was no need to check the identity, the common people and gentry rushed into the city in droves.
If Li Jing's words hadn't worked, there would have been some confusion.
Fortunately, they were prepared, and a large number of soldiers controlled the people and gentry who rushed in, and took them to the designated place.
As Li Jing said, identity checking is essential. Who knows how many spies are mixed in.
Li Jing's method was quite effective. It originally took a day to let all the common people and gentry enter the city. Now, in just one hour, all the common people and gentry were put into the city.
The city gate was also tightly closed at this time.
This made Li Jing slightly relieved, because he could already see billowing dust and smoke in the distance. This was a sign that a large number of troops and horses were coming here. There must be a large number of cavalry in the distance.
Although the city gate is closed, the city is not so safe. The people who were let in without checking their identities are restless and want to leave as soon as possible. After all, a war is about to happen here. Who knows if they will be caught if they stay here. , pulled up the city wall to fight the Turks.
People will die in war, but it is not impossible to capture strong men!
Under the instigation of some thoughtful people, the people's mood became even more violent. If they hadn't seen countless archers surrounding them, these people would have taken action long ago.
The enemy is about to attack the city, but the city is still checking the identity of the people in an orderly manner. Those who pass will naturally be let go as soon as possible, and those who fail will be immediately detained.
Li Jing came to visit once and saw that everything was safe and sound, so he took people to the city wall, where the most important thing was.
The fortifications on the city had been arranged yesterday, and artillery had been set up on the four walls, three on the north and south walls, and two on the east and west walls.
As for the wooden knots, Li Jing also brought a lot of them this time. According to the quantity, each soldier can get three wooden knots, one more than Luo Zhang's two.
Don't underestimate the fact that there is only one more. Li Jing's men and horses are three times that of Luo Zhang. In other words, Li Jing brought as many as 300,000 wooden lumps, almost plundering most of the wooden lumps produced in Yushan. After leaving, not only that, some of the wooden lumps originally assigned to Zuowu Guard, Youwu Guard, and Qianniu Guard were also taken back.
Although it has aroused the dissatisfaction of Zuowuwei, Youwei and other garrisons, there is nothing we can do. There is a war in the north and a war in the west. If you don't give it, then go ahead and everything will be given to you. You go and resist the Turks!
In this regard, these garrisons will naturally not go. Their task is only to surround His Majesty, defend Chang'an, and let them resist the Turks. It is simply playing the piano randomly.
After inspecting the city wall and seeing that everything was almost ready, Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the north gate again, waiting for the arrival of the Western Turks.
Among the Western Turkic army, a middle-aged man wearing a fur coat was lying in a large and luxurious carriage.
The carriage was pulled by eight horses, which shows how huge the carriage was.
Around the middle-aged man, there were four or five maids sitting on their knees. Some were holding pastries, some were carrying fruits, and some were beating the legs of the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged people seemed very comfortable, eating a bite of fruit and drinking a sip of wine.
At this time, there was a sound of horse hooves outside, and a murmur of Turkic language was heard outside the carriage.
He roughly told the middle-aged man in the carriage: "King Zuo Xian, the army is only fifty miles away from Dingxiang City. Do you want to find a boundary to camp?"
Upon hearing the inquiry, King Zuo Xian waved his hand to the maids and asked them to go aside. Then he opened the curtain, looked at the general on the horse outside and said: "Continue to move forward and attack Dingxiang City. At this time, They are afraid that they are busy taking in the fleeing people. This is a good opportunity for us. If their city gates are not closed in time, we can capture Dingxiang City in one go. Then we can go directly to Dingxiang City to rest without having to stay in the city. It’s outside!”
"Yes, King Zuo Xian!" When the soldiers who delivered the order heard King Zuo Xian's words, they immediately rode their horses and ran forward to deliver the order.
At this time, a tall figure opened the curtain from outside the carriage and got in. He rubbed his hands, glanced at King Zuo Xian, and sat down next to him. While warming his hands, he said to King Zuo Xian: "King Zuo Xian." , if I can capture Dingxiang City in one go this time, I want to lead my troops to attack Datang, what do you think?"
