Chapter 421 Retreat Plan

After Li Changxian returned to his residence, he handed over the imperial edict to Ma You and others, and stopped caring about it. As for how to chase Tang Yuzhe, Jiang Shicheng and his family, Li Changxian didn't want to care about it, nor was he willing to care about it. All he wanted was Zhao Youting.

Sure enough, not long after, Li Zhu came to report, and Lord Zhao Youting and Zhao came.

After hearing this, Li Changxian quickly tidied up his clothes and walked quickly to the front hall of Li's mansion.

"Brother Zhao, you and I have been friends for many years. If you come to my house, please don't see you."

"Li Zhu, give me tea!"

Zhao Youting didn't know what Li Changxian asked him to do? He was just a big soldier defending the city, and he didn't dare to sit in the same seat as the fourth-rank official who held the power in front of him.

After Li Changxian's repeated instructions, he fell down a little, but his body was still very stiff.

"Brother Zhao, I invite you to the mansion. I have something to ask for. I wonder if Brother Zhao can help me?"

"Sir, please tell me that as long as I can do it, I will do my best to do it."

"Haha, Brother Zhao is so happy!"

Li Changxian took a sip of tea slowly, but he kept thinking in his heart whether Zhao Youting will use it for him in the future?

If you use it right, everything will stop. If you use it wrong, it will definitely be your biggest trouble in the future.

"Brother Zhao, you see that the war is coming, what are your plans in the future?"

After hearing Li Changxian's words, Zhao Youting was also thinking seriously. At first, he didn't understand what Li Changxian meant. When the war was coming, of course he would stay in the door and save his life was important.

But when he thought about it, Li Changxian asked him this way, he would never just care about his affairs. Did Li Changxian take a fancy to his responsibility for defending the city at the East City Gate?

If that is the case, Li Changxian really looked down on him. He is a big soldier who guards the city. When will he open the city gate and close the city gate, his superiors have the final say.

What exactly did Li Changxian do? He surrendered to the third prince under the city, let him open the gate of the East City and let the rebels come in.

But doing this is too risky. Not to mention whether the soldiers who guard the city gate with them agreed or not, even if they were alone, they could not beat the entire soldiers guarding the city gate.

Unless Li Changxian sends someone to do it with him, even if he does this, it will be life and death.

Once the incident occurs, what should his wife and children do after he dies in battle?

"Sir, if you have any instructions, Zhao is willing to go to the sea of ​​fire to die without regrets. It's just that my wife and children need to take good care of them in the future."

Li Xiangyang was speechless. His words just said to him just to try Zhao Youting's loyalty, and he didn't want him to be loyal to him with his death.

"Brother Zhao, you are joking. I don't need you to cross the sea of ​​fire under the sword, and your wife and children will need your care in the future."

"That adult means..."

Li Changxian paused and said, "I mean if the capital falls, I want to ask Brother Zhao to help us evacuate the capital."

Zhao Youting was speechless. If the capital was lost and everyone fled in scattered ways, what else could he do, a soldier guarding the city? Can he do it if the Li family evacuated?

In the end, we still have to fight to the death, fight against the rebels, and fight for a whole day, but the Li family is not short of warriors like him.

"Please make it clear that even if you are crushed to pieces, you must keep Lord Li's house safe."

When Li Changxian saw Zhao Youting misunderstood him again, he imagined that a soldier who could only be loyal to death, and there was probably no other way.

"I asked you for an official position so that you can issue orders at the Dongcheng Gate. Do you think this is OK?"

"Official position?"

Zhao Youting was ecstatic. Even if he had a small official position at the East City Gate, he could help Li Changxian.

Even if Li Changxian asked him to open the city gate and surrender to the enemy, he had the right to do it.

"I promised you the official position, just for the retreat route of my Li Mansion. I will never force you to surrender to the enemy, and I will not allow you to surrender to the enemy."

"The third prince and I have an irreconcilable grudge. He will never let my Li's house leave safely. If the capital is captured by the rebels, I only need you to maintain order in the city gate and let my Li's house be together.

Just retreat safely. As for how to protect the people in Li’s Mansion, you don’t need to interfere. I have my own arrangements.”

"As the order of Lord!"

When Zhao Youting heard that he only asked him to maintain order and open the city gate and release people, it was not easy. As long as he had an official position at the East City Gate, it would be a matter of one sentence.

What's more, when the capital was lost, everyone was running for the desperate situation, and no one would hold him accountable for his unselfish release.

"Okay, there will be an order issued to your house tomorrow, and you will know then."

After saying that, Li Changxian brought tea to see the guests off.

After Zhao Youting left, Li Changxian thought for a while and felt that Zhao Youting had no problem. As long as he could occupy a city gate, the safety of Li's mansion would be guaranteed.

Even if Zhao Youting doesn't work here, he has other ways to evacuate, but it's much more convenient to evacuate directly from the city gate.

Of course, after Zhao Youting took office, Li Changxian planned to install his own subordinates in the command department of the Dongchengmen, and it would be best to control the city gate in his own hands.

Zhao Youting walked flutteringly along the way. He didn't know what official position Li Changxian asked him for, but according to Li Changxian's meaning, this official position was definitely not a powerless one, otherwise he would not be able to control the city gate.

After returning home, Zhao Youting was also unintentional to sleep. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Fangliang, thinking to himself that since Li Changxian had a plan to evacuate the Li Mansion, he would definitely have a trick to retreat. Will his wife and children also follow him.

Where can we escape together?

"My husband, please rest. You have to get up early to go to the city gate to watch tomorrow."

Zhao Youting was unmoved and got up early to serve. It seems that it is impossible for him to serve again in the future.

Since Li Changxian said that he had asked him to wait for the imperial edict early this morning, the matter must be obvious, otherwise Li Changxian, who holds heavy power, would not speak casually.

"Tomorrow, I won't go on duty!"

"If you don't go on duty, what should I do if Captain Wei blames him? If you lose this position, our family's life will be even more difficult in the future."

"Don't worry, I said I wouldn't go on duty. I'm going to be promoted and I won't guard the city gate again in the future."

"Is that so good!"

Zhao Youting smiled bitterly when he heard this. It was not a good thing to be promoted at this time. The rebels were about to invade the capital. No one knew whether the capital could be defended in the future.

Even Li Changxian was preparing for a retreat. Where are the other officials? Like Li Changxian, he was already preparing for a retreat. Only soldiers like him, poor people, could only wait for death at home.

"Lanlan, if you can retreat to the capital, are you willing to leave?"
