On the vast canal, three large official ships were in the shape of a Chinese character, breaking through the fog and heading south along the river.
On both sides of the canal, the orioles are singing and the swallows are dancing, and the peach blossoms are red and the willows are green.
In villages near the water, you can see wine flags fluttering in the wind everywhere, creating a peaceful scene.
Li Xuan stood on the bow of the boat and had a panoramic view of the Jiangnan scenery on both sides of the river.
Looking far into the distance, one can faintly see a series of high mountains standing at the end of the sight.
"That's where the remaining veins of Tianmu Mountain are, and under the peak is the West Lake." Zhou Shen, wearing red clothes and golden armor, dressed as a Jinwu Guard, stood respectfully to one side.
Zhou Shen left Xinlin Zhechong Mansion and served under Li Xuan.
It's just that Li Xuan hasn't arrived in Wuzhou yet, so he can't arrange a specific position. He can only temporarily give him a set of Jinwu Guard's Qianniu suit to wear. Chinese website
Zhou Shen was very satisfied with this. Although he did not have the status of Jinwu Guard, the status of the captain of Xinlin Mansion was not as high as that of Jinwu Guard.
"If the subordinates arrange it, they will hide their hands in the mountains until the critical moment, rush down and capture the entire Hangzhou." Qiu Zhenmu immediately broke all the poetic meaning as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Haha!" Li Xuan couldn't help but laugh in a funny way, waved her hand and said, "This is the meritorious service of Mr. Yuan, the governor of Hangzhou. I won't think about snatching it away."
"Duan Baoxuan, the governor of Yuezhou, Yuan Jiazuo, the governor of Hangzhou, Xu Liangzuo, the governor of Huzhou, Wang Fanglin, the governor of Wuzhou, Wang Dali, the governor of Shezhou, and Shen Qian, the governor of Changzhou, all watched the Tianyin Sect's every move with eager eyes, and they all regarded them as... There is no way for us to easily attack the meat in the pot." Yu Ze stood on the left side of Li Xuan with a calm expression.
"In this case, even I feel pessimistic about the Tianyin Sect. Under such a situation, they are still revolting. It is nothing more than throwing an egg against a stone. They are just suffering for the people." Wang Bo stood on the right side of Li Xuan, with a look in his eyes. A worried expression flashed.
"Since the Tianyin Sect dares to move, they will naturally take everything into account. Just like Yangzhou, they have deployed more forces in various states and counties than we expected." After a slight pause, Li Xuan continued with a reminder. : "Twenty years, countless hatreds, who knows how many people are eager to overthrow this seemingly prosperous age, the situation is far more difficult than we imagined."
Thinking of Yan Shen, the leader of the Caobang Dragon and Tiger Hall, thinking of Zhang Ji, the captain of Youguoyi, and the three thousand elites in An Rongxiang's memory, all showed this situation.
Nowadays, all the forces in the imperial court regard Tianyin Sect as a meal on the plate, a ghost on the plate, but if this meal on the plate, a ghost on the knife, once it jumps up, it will definitely bite back hard, which is heartbreaking.
"Everything that the prince can think of, the governors and governors cannot think too much about. It's just that they don't know where the real core power of the Tianyin Sect is hidden, so they have been standing still." Yu Ze looked relaxed.
After going south from Yangzhou, he no longer worried about what big disturbance the Tianyin Sect might cause.
Twenty years ago, the Tianyin sect Chen Shuozhen was able to launch such a large-scale uprising simply because he caught the imperial court off guard. Now all aspects have been prepared in advance, and several provincial governors have blocked them, and even more Not to mention that there are also the governor of Runzhou, Pei Huanzhi, the governor of Xuanzhou, and Dou Xuande, the governor of Yangzhou, who are dedicated to their work. It is surprising that the Tianyin Sect can succeed.
"I hope so." Li Xuan's expression flickered. The court was staring at the Tianyin Sect, and the Tianyin Sect was staring at the court.
In addition, Yuezhou, Hangzhou, Wuzhou, Huzhou, Shezhou, Changzhou, Xuanzhou and Runzhou, only one place is missing, Suzhou.
Suzhou, one of the Three Wus, was an important place in the center of Wu, but the governor of Suzhou was King Cao Li Ming.
Li Ming, the King of Cao who is suspected of being the King of Donghai of the Tianyin Sect, is something that no one else has thought of.
After retracting his thoughts, Li Xuan said, "We passed by Hangzhou. In just two days, apart from visiting the governor of Hangzhou, Yuan Weng, the Lu family, the He family, the Yu family, and the Zhang family, the most important thing was to learn from the Hangzhou navy. Temporarily dispatch a team of naval troops to Wuzhou. This time the Tianyin Sect is in trouble, a water battle is inevitable."
"Indeed." Zhou Shen said in agreement: "Although we can't wait
There is no problem with fighting, but if you want to fight on the water, you still have to rely on the navy. Although the navy of Hanjiang Prefecture was elite, it was not familiar with the waterways of Wuyue. If they wanted to form a combat force, they could only find a way from the Hangzhou Navy. "
"This time is different from last time. Last time, the Tianyin Sect was the main attacker and the imperial court was the main defender. There was no need to worry too much about the navy. But this time, we want to annihilate all the Tianyin Sect bandits in the mountains as much as possible. Besides, the most important thing is to rely on the navy.”
After a pause, Li Xuan smiled and said: "Although Wuzhou has a dense water network, there are not many places that can be used for combat. We only need to mobilize three ships of water to completely seal off Wuzhou's waterways. The only thing that needs to be considered is What we need to do is to minimize the impact of the war on the people."
"Your Majesty is very concerned." Everyone present nodded at the same time.
Although the Tianyin Sect seems to be a great threat, with the court's adequate preparation, it is surprisingly difficult to succeed.
Even if there is an unexpected layout, it is just scratching the surface, and it is unlikely to become a big thing.
So what about the three thousand elites? If nothing else, as long as Li Xuan arrives in Wuzhou, it will be difficult for them to make big waves in Wuzhou.
But war is still war, and the people who suffer the most are always the people.
"After arriving in Hangzhou, Brother Zhou stayed on the ship to avoid being burned down by someone else." Li Xuan smiled and said helplessly: "This time the Tianyin Sect suffered a great loss in Yangzhou. It is inevitable that If you are not prepared to take revenge on me, you will be in trouble if you are not careful."
"Here!" Zhou Shen responded with his hands raised, and then said: "There are many soldiers on the ship, so I am not too worried. In fact, I am more worried about the safety of the prince. After all, if I want revenge, it is best to attack the prince himself directly."
"You can rest assured. With me here, no one can hurt the prince in the slightest." Qiu Zhenmu patted her chest and assured her.
Li Xuan smiled. If it weren't for these reasons, he would have been willing to go straight to Wuzhou. But unfortunately, nearly two months had passed since the accident in Wuzhou. No matter how hard he rushed, it would be too late. , it is better to make more preparations in other places and then go to Wuzhou.
Suddenly, the wind picked up and the boat's speed suddenly increased a lot.
The mountains in the distance became clearer and clearer, and even faintly, a touch of blue appeared in the sky.
"West Lake!" Li Xuan sighed with emotion and said, "Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times and has a gathering of people. Nowadays, things are so tiring. When all this is over, we will travel to the West Lake together, drink wine and write poems. It will be a good story. .”
"I'm about to learn the style of Wang Ye and Mr. Zian." Yu Ze cupped his hands and looked at Li Xuan and Wang Bo, both of whom looked indifferent.
Wang Bo has been famous for a long time. Although there are many people who admire him from north to south, they are also polite and polite. On the contrary, it is Li Xuan. His saying in Yangzhou, "No one in the world knows you", suddenly spread throughout the whole Jiangnan. .
The speed of spreading is faster than the speed of their ship. Who knows how many people will be waiting to ask for advice.
"Go back and get ready. Not everyone is welcome when I come to Hangzhou. Although it's only for two days, you have to be extra careful." Li Xuan turned around and looked at everyone and warned everyone seriously.
Li Xuan has done so much in Yangzhou, how could Tianyin Sect ignore it.
"Here!" Everyone present agreed at the same time, with solemn expressions.
Everyone turned around and returned to the cabin to pack their things.
At this time, Liang Fuling, wearing a men's cyan robe and a black hat, walked out of the cabin.
Walking on the bow, Liang Fuling and Li Xuan stood side by side.
Letting the strong wind blow, Liang Fuling looked at the gradually increasing number of villages and courtyards on both sides of the strait, and said in a low voice: "Actually, what you are really worried about is the countless Jiangnan aristocratic families in the entire Wuyue land. If only a small half of them support the Tianyin Sect, Then no matter how much preparation you make, it will all be in vain.”
"They are just a bunch of losers. As long as the court is strong enough, these people will bow down and confess their crimes faster, and they may even switch sides in the face of battle. Just like the Shen family in Yangzhou, they can change the rudder quickly when the wind blows, which is hard to follow."
Li Xuan turned to look at Liang, who was thin and only reached his shoulders.
Fu Ling said softly: "You also need to be more careful. They have been watching your family's military inheritance for a day or two. You, Aye, are hiding outside and will not go back. Your uncle entrusted you to me for this reason, but It just so happens that I will be serving in Wuzhou again, and it looks like I am pushing you into the fire pit again."
Liang Fuling said calmly: "Actually, both Aye and Uncle are right. Some things cannot be avoided by hiding. Only by completely dealing with those who threaten you can you gain eternal peace."
Ahead, the river began to gradually narrow, the surrounding ships began to approach each other, and the water gate of Hangzhou City was clearly visible.
The southeast is beautiful, the three Wu cities are there, and Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times.
I don’t know what kind of disturbance there will be, waiting for Li Xuan in Hangzhou.
Yuwen Family, the word Yuwen will shake the hearts of many wealthy families.
