Food is the basis of everything. Whether it is the hearts of the people or the morale of the army, enough food can hold them tightly in the palm of your hand. Especially in this desolate desert city that has thousands of miles of miles of food, food is particularly precious.

I have to say that Cao Yu grasped the key point.

It is not difficult to deal with Li Su. It is just a teenager, and it is not difficult to deal with the cavalry camp. Without food, the cavalry camp is just a toothless tiger and cannot jump around no matter how it is. Countless historical facts have been recorded. No matter how loyal or invincible the army is, as long as the food is cut off, they will become the most terrifying demons.

Li Su's arrogant and domineering capital lies in the thousand-person cavalry camp he brought. If the cavalry camp collapses internally due to food, what is Li Su's concern?

Cao Yu's abacus is very detailed, and from common sense, it is indeed feasible.

"I'm telling the order that shops in the city, who dares to sell grain to the cavalry outside the city, don't blame me for being rude!" Cao Yu stroked his beard and said in a deep voice.

Xiang Tian nodded: "The soldiers of Zhechong Mansion will also pay attention. If someone doesn't have any eyes to sell food to the cavalry camp, he will chop his whole family first."

Cao Yu narrowed his eyes and smiled, "At least three days, I guess Li Su will come to my governor's mansion to plead with you. It is not easy to support a thousand people in a deserted city of thousands of miles away. If I don't nod, they will starve to death."

Xiang Tian smiled and said, "It's good to teach Li Su to see who this Xizhou City is in the world."

Cao Yu suddenly fell silent for a long time and sighed: "Xizhou... is the world of Your Majesty, but Your Majesty seems to have forgotten Xizhou. The emperor's grace has surrendered, but Xizhou has never been affected by it."

This sentence was somewhat resentful to Li Shimin. Xiang Tian stumbled his lips a few times, but he didn't dare to respond.

"Anyway, Li Su must leave. Xizhou cannot tolerate him. If he gains a foothold in Xizhou, your and my heads will sooner or later be hung high on the Chang'an city tower..." A complicated look flashed in Cao Yu's eyes, as if they were fearful and helpless.

Xiang Tian's face was not good either: "What the governor said is very much. Xizhou cannot tolerate Li Su. Xizhou has too many secrets. If you are an outsider, especially those who can directly contact His Majesty the Emperor, you will know that countless people in the entire city will be beheaded..."

Before he finished speaking, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the inner courtyard of the governor's mansion.

The two people in the wing looked at each other and their hearts sank at the same time.

It is absolutely not a good thing to do in the early morning.

A middle-aged man wearing an official robe walked over sweating profusely and did not care about etiquette. After seeing Cao Yu and Xiang Tian, ​​the middle-aged man opened his mouth and said, "Governor Cao, it's not good. Feng Sima is gone!"

"What?" The two of them were shocked, and then their faces turned pale.

The middle-aged man said in panic: "Last night, Feng Sima slept in his concubine's room in his house. He was sneaked into the house in the middle of the night. The concubine was knocked unconscious, but Feng Sima disappeared... Now the Feng family's family is kneeling outside the gate of the governor's house, and ask the governor Cao to make the decision for them."

The wing room was silent, and after a long time...

"It must be Li Su's fault!" Xiang Tian slapped the table and said angrily.

Cao Yu's face was gloomy, and his eyes showed a ray of fear and anger.

Xiang Tian's rough face turned red. I don't know if he was scared or angry, but he opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something. In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged man who reported the news was still standing aside. Xiang Tian pointed at him and scolded: "You, go out!"

The middle-aged man hurriedly nodded and retreated.

Only Cao Yu and Xiang Tian were left in the room. Xiang Tian then came to Cao Yu's ear and lowered his voice and said, "Governor Cao, Li Su, has taken action!"

Cao Yu glanced at him without saying a word, his face was as bright as a lake, but there was a thunderclap in his heart.

He is just a teenager, in this unfamiliar place. He dared to take the initiative to take action. Was he underestimated him or was he just a lunatic?

"Governor Cao, this kid... is not simple!" Xiang Tian's face was filled with shock: "It's not strange that he took the initiative to attack, but what's strange is why he grabbed the vital point with one move? The case of the daughter of the Zhao family in the north of the city is Feng Sima Jing's hands inside and out. Where did Li Su have the ability to do this? He took him away with it?"

Cao Yu said with a ugly expression: "It must be someone in the city who killed him secretly fell to the side and secretly communicated with Li Su, the prince!"

Xiang Tian said bitterly, "What should we do if Sima Feng was taken away? That fat man is definitely not a person who is ready to die. He will definitely be punished by just taking punishment..."

Cao Yu was silent for a long time, and suddenly sneered: "So what if I ask? Just a person's words are still without any evidence. Even if Feng Sima is taken to me to confront me, I say that there is no such thing as this, then there is no such thing!"

Xiang Tian thought about it, his face suddenly calmed down a lot. After a moment of silence, Xiang Tian looked at Cao Yu and tentatively said, "Mr. Governor, this Li Su is not simple. He has some tricks in doing things. At a young age, he didn't know where to learn Taoism. If he didn't take action, he would be thunderous. Now it seems that it is not better to just cut off his food and grass. It is better to do two-pronged approach and achieve his achievements in one battle..."

The words were very obscure, but Cao Yu understood it, his cheeks twitched hard a few times, and then he glanced at Xiang Tian silently.

Seeing that Cao Yu's attitude was unclear, Xiang Tian couldn't help but be anxious: "Governor Cao, it's too much to do! The secret of Xizhou is related to many lives. Don't you know? If Li Su really stops, the secret cannot be preserved. At that time, Long Yan will inevitably be angry. Your and my lives, your and my lives, and the lives of other officials... Isn't these worth our actions? Governor, if you keep breaking, you will suffer the chaos. At this point, you should make a decision!"

Cao Yu's eyebrows jumped violently, frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally turned his head and glanced at Xiang Tian gloomyly.

Xiang Tian quickly understood the meaning of this look and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "The last time we will be able to live up to the expectations of the governor!"

******************************************************************

Li Su didn't know any shameful secrets in Xizhou. He only knew that there was a storm in Xizhou. It was him who started the storm.

Zheng Xiaolou, Wang Zong and Jiang Quan brought Feng Sima back overnight. Zheng Xiaolou was really careless and could not leave the city. When the three of them went back to search, Zheng Xiaolou didn't remember where to throw the fat man away. He sweated heavily and searched for half an hour before finally finding Feng Sima in a dark alley in the city.

Fortunately, Zheng Xiaolou made a big move. When he found him again, he still hadn't woken up. The three of them worked together to bring Feng Sima back to the camp.

This night was definitely the darkest night in Feng Sima's life. She was knocked unconscious for no reason, and was ruthlessly abandoned after being carried out of the mansion. Later, she was finally picked up. After entering the cavalry camp outside the city, the first thing she saw when she woke up was a few carefully made torture instruments, as well as a few hideous and hateful faces under the dim light of the torch...

Without exceeding Li Su's expectations, Feng Sima was indeed not a hero. Such a high-level word "to die as if he was home" could not even touch the edge. Before the first torture instrument could touch his body, the fat man let out a shrill scream like a pig killing, and then he quickly made a complete move.

…………

"Li Biejia, although this fat man named Feng has been called, it is useless," Jiang Quan still looked a little depressed, obviously not hopeful for Feng Sima's confession: "...After all, it's just a remark, and there is no evidence. Even if he confronts Cao Yu's old mistress in court, he doesn't admit that it's a small matter. If he bites his mouth and says we will lynch the court officials, and we will be used to frame Shangguan, we can't afford this crime."

Li Su glanced at him lightly and said with a smile: "I can't tell that General Jiang is actually a kind and reasonable person. He underestimated you before..."

Jiang Quan was stunned: "Everything must be reasonable. Everything is a place where the Tang Dynasty is reasonable. Without evidence, you can't convict others, right? What's more, the person who convicted was your Shangguan, the first official in Xizhou..."

Li Su explained patiently: "The truth depends on the scope, not everything is suitable for reasoning, of course, it depends on the mood. It is not always the mood to reason. What should I do if I occasionally feel bad? Then don't be reasonable. Everything has to be fought for right and wrong, and it would be too boring to live a lifetime..."

Jiang Quan was a little confused by Li Su's series of "reasons". After a while, he understood these words. His lips stammered a few times and couldn't help but say, "Li Biejia, your words themselves are unreasonable."

Li Su blinked: "Did you understand after I said it for a long time? As a human being, there is no need to reason, especially for those who have not made sense to us, let alone be too reasonable. If he comes along, I will go along."

Jiang Quan looked at him with some anxiety: "Li Biejia, how are you going?"

A gust of hot wind lifted the curtain of the handsome tent. Outside the curtain was a vast desert, and a hot sun above the head. In addition, everything was quiet.

After staring at the vast desert for a long time, Li Su said lightly: "General Jiang, our thousand-person cavalry camp crosses thousands of miles of desert and comes to this lonely city in the desert. There is no support in front of the front and no support behind, and there are worries inside and outside. It can be said that we are in the abyss pool, and we are terrified step by step. The desert has the law of survival. What we believe here is power, strength, and domineering spirit that sweeps all ghosts and monsters!"

Jiang Quan seemed to be conscious, and his heartbeat accelerated several beats uncontrollably.

"Li Biejia means..."

Li Su turned his head and stared at him, saying word by word: "General Jiang, assemble the cavalry camp team. Tomorrow, I will lead troops into the city to teach a good lesson to the officials and people of Xizhou City!"

******************************************************************

Late at night, a small oasis one hundred miles north of Xizhou City.

The oasis is very small, with only one mile of low trees and poplar trees, growing softly on the land mixed with sand and dust. There is a row of simple and dilapidated houses on the west side of the oasis. At this moment, the house is brightly lit inside and outside, with figures everywhere and camels screaming.

Half an hour later, a soldier of about 500 people quickly assembled. The leader of a burly man in a black shirt and wrapped in a black robe rode on the back of a camel, pulled out his waist knife and pointed silently to the south.

The team started moving at the same time as if they heard the horn of the attack. Five hundred cavalrymen urged the camels and went straight to the south without any rush.

The camel hooves stepped on the sand, raising a burst of yellow sand, and a sharp murderous aura gradually rose and spread while walking.

…………

Early morning, Chen hour.

The sun just emerged from the east, and the fiery red balls hung lazily on the horizon east of the desert, rising slowly unwillingly.

Xizhou North City.

The old and rotten city gate slowly opened with a creaking sound. The two shaky doors gradually opened like birds' wings under the golden sun. The dozen sergeants of the Zechong Mansion who were stationed in the city gate were yawning, holding the long halberds and spears in their hands, and looked listless and began to line up.

A soldier looked at the quiet city gate corridor, murmured and cursed for a few words, then opened his mouth wide, and another yawn was about to burst out.

While yawning, he turned his head and faced the city gate. Then, the soldiers' eyes were wide open, their mouths were still wide open, and the yawn that had been halfway through, and their eyes were extremely frightened. They looked at the vast sand outside the city gate in shock. The rest of the soldiers were not much better than him. Everyone opened their mouths and stared blankly at the originally empty sand.

On the sand, a cavalry stood quietly, and a team of more than a thousand people lined up in the shape of awls. A typical battlefield attack formation, the huge cone pointed directly at the direction of the city gate in the north of Xizhou.

More than ten soldiers guarding the city gate were shocked. They had seen the scene of foreign enemies siegeing the city. Thousands of people rode camels to attack the city gate one after another, but today was different, because at this moment, the cavalry that was siegeing on the sand outside the city were serious Tang cavalry!

The Tang cavalry attacked the Tang Dynasty's city... Are these people crazy?

The two sides confronted each other quietly. The smart guy among the soldiers guarding the city took a few steps back and hid in the back of the robe. He turned around and ran away when the person was not paying attention, and ran towards the governor's mansion with no chance.

After a long time, the huge awl outside the city slowly walked out of the cavalry at the top. The soldiers guarding the city looked closely and found that the man was the newly appointed Xizhou Bianzhu Li Su!

Li Su was dressed very formally today, wearing a silver-winged helmet and silver soft armor. A sharp long sword in her hand emitted a dazzling golden light under the rising sun.
