In the study, Li Xuan stuffed Liu Silang's letter into his sleeve.
He raised his head and looked to the northwest, with a cold look in his eyes: "I am scheming against others, but I didn't expect that others are also scheming against me."
Li Xuan sneered, and unconsciously pressed her right hand hard on the table next to her, causing a fingerprint to appear on the table immediately.
Li Xuan was staring at Qiu Shenji in Shezhou, but behind Qiu Shenji, there were also many people staring at Li Xuan.
Under such circumstances, it would be much more difficult for Li Xuan to kill Qiu Shenji than he expected.
You have me I have you.
Just like Qiu Shenji himself, he couldn't figure out how many people around him were helping Li Xuan keep an eye on him.
Similarly, Li Xuan couldn't figure out how many people in the entire Wuzhou were helping Qiu Shenji and keeping an eye on him.
The two of them were pawns that Li Zhi and Empress Wu extended into the southeast. As for the outcome of their secret fight, perhaps no one would care at all.
Regardless of Li Zhi or Empress Wu, all they really care about is the Tianyin Sect. The fight between Li Xuan and Qiu Shenji is just a child's play.
Liu Ji on the side couldn't help but shook his head slightly at this moment: "There are not many people in this world who can scheme against the prince."
"No, there are still some, and there are many." Li Xuan shook his head with a complicated expression and said, "I know my shortcomings well. I am good at short-term planning, but I am poor at the overall situation. I can't help but immerse myself in the details. At this time, if you pay enough attention to my opponent, you can quietly make a plan and trap me to death step by step."
"What the prince said are only a handful of people in the world. All of them are talented as prime ministers and assistants. How could they easily target the prince." Liu Ji looked at Li Xuan with a probing look in his eyes.
Li Xuan did not respond, but seemed to be thinking to herself: "For example, right now, most of my attention is on Dongyang and Wuzhou, but I have somewhat neglected Hangzhou, Yuezhou, Taizhou, In Kuozhou and other places, if someone were to set up around here at this time, it would be easy for me to be trapped to death."
Li Xuan is very clear about his own strengths and weaknesses. His advantage is that he is good at concentration, but it is precisely because he is good at concentration that his vision has become narrowed unconsciously.
Now others are in Dongyang, paying attention to Wuzhou, and even Hang, Yue, and Taiwan are somewhat ignored, let alone distant Luoyang, Chang'an, and the vast western region of Tubo.
Thanks to Liu Ji for reminding me today, I really need to pay attention to this in the future.
Looking at Liu Ji, Li Xuan nodded slightly, then said, "Your Majesty and the Queen hope that I can focus on the Tianyin Sect, so naturally I should not be distracted."
"In this case, the Tianyin Sect will be in trouble." Liu Ji sighed and said with some sadness: "I really hope that the Tianyin Sect has the ability to see the overall situation, but unfortunately, they don't."
Li Xuan looked straight at Liu Ji, who smiled nonchalantly and said: "Actually, what the prince can think of is that the Tianyin Sect's attention has always been on Yuezhou. As long as the soldiers of the Yuezhou Governor's Mansion are cleared, Then, they can turn over and rush straight to the Wuyue prefectures like tigers descending the mountain. They can even cross the Yangtze River directly, enter Yangzhou, cut off the water transportation, and also cut off the imperial court's rescue troops.
They have their own plans and will not change them for anyone. Even if they leave a secret or two, the effect will be very limited.
But they didn't even think about it, would the court sit back and watch them do this? "
Wang Fanglin, Wang Dali, Duan Baoxuan, Yuan Jiazuo, Shen Qian, Lai Jingye, Dou Xuande, which one of these people is easy to mess with?
Not to mention, there are still people like Li Xuan and Qiu Shenji who represent the emperor's will entering the southeast.
The Tang Dynasty court has fully mobilized, and now they are just watching Tianyin Sect show more manpower.
Li Xuan waved her hands and said: "I can't control places that are too far away. Fang Yunxiu, Tianyin Sect Wuzhou Hall Master Fang Yunxiu, his layout in Wuzhou and Dongyang are not simple. I want to completely break the situation. , it still takes a lot of effort... but fortunately, Mr. Ling is leading our people there now."
As he spoke, Li Xuan looked up to the southeast, southeast of Dongyang.
With just this glance, Liu Ji's face instantly became extremely embarrassed.
Because he knew that once his son escaped from Dongyang City, his next step would be to the southeast, which was the direction of Yuezhou.
"Please, Your Majesty, please let the dog go. If this old man has another life, he will wear a grass ring and become a cow and a horse." Liu Ji tugged on his hem and knelt down directly in front of Li Xuan.
Li Xuan looked at Liu Ji extremely calmly, and was not moved by his kneeling down. He just said lightly: "Now in Dongyang, under Fang Yunxiu's men, I have killed ninety people in Dongyang City. Your son's Not counting his subordinates, there are still sixty people in the stone courtyard now, so there are already one hundred and fifty people. Did Tianyin Sect only put one hundred and fifty people in Dongyang?"
Li Xuan glanced at Liu Ji with cold eyes. Liu Ji stood there suddenly, motionless, with a drop of cold sweat dripping down.
Liu Ji never expected that Li Xuan was so sensitive to numbers and calculated the specific number of people in one go.
Li Xuan looked at Liu Ji calmly. He knew more about many things than Liu Ji imagined.
What he saw from An Rongxiang's memory was that the elite soldiers from the Tianyin Sect General Forum were at least 3,000, divided into two teams. One team went to Wuzhou, Taizhou and Hangzhou to defend Yuezhou, and the other team went to Wuzhou, Taizhou and Hangzhou to defend Yuezhou. The first team went to Shezhou and seemed to want to break the situation in Shezhou.
If they are divided into two teams evenly, then the troops going to Wuzhou, Taizhou and Hangzhou should be 1,500,
Wuzhou, Taizhou, and Hangzhou are evenly distributed. There should be at least 500 people in each state.
If Li Xuan were to arrange the arrangements, his focus would be on Jinhua and Dongyang in the entire Wuzhou. Even if they were evenly distributed, there should be 250 people in Dongyang, but now only 150 people have been found, so the remaining Where have the one hundred people gone?
Moreover, this is only an even distribution. If we take into account the different importance of Wuzhou, Taizhou and Hangzhou, then we can deploy less manpower in Taizhou, and then allocate 200 people to support 100 people each in Wuzhou and Hangzhou. If all these 100 people Arranged in Dongyang, then together with the remaining 100 people, Tianyin Sect still has at least 200 elite soldiers in Dongyang.
Two hundred elite soldiers, if there is an internal response in the city, it is not difficult to open the gate of Dongyang, occupy the county seat, and capture the entire Dongyang with one call and a hundred responses.
Then the question arises, where are these two hundred elite soldiers hiding now.
"If you refuse to tell the truth, there is no need for me to talk nonsense with you." Li Xuan reached out and pulled a piece of paper from the side, placed it flat in front of Liu Ji, and said lightly: "Write your name, Wu Personally, with the information you just gave me, as of now, there are only five places left!"
Liu Ji's expression couldn't help but change slightly. He never thought that King Nanchang's punishment would come so quickly.
But he had to lower his head and write down a few important names.
At this moment, a burst of footsteps sounded outside, and Li Xuan turned around.
Soon, a Qianniu Guard handed over a note.
After reading the numbers on the note, Li Xuan looked at Liu Ji indifferently and said expressionlessly: "According to records, your Liu Mansion has always purchased grain from Dongyang and sold it to other places. But this year, But you suddenly began to increase the inward transportation of food, especially to Shangxi Town."
After saying "Shangxi Town", Liu Ji's expression immediately changed.
"There was a gold mine in Shangxi Town. In the early days, people sifted the gold sand from the stream to obtain gold. Later, the gold sand in the stream was exhausted. Some people left, and some began to dig underground. Eventually, A gold mine was found underground, and that gold mine is now the property of the Qian family in Wuzhou, and behind the Qian family stands the King of Yue, King Li Zhen of Yue."
Right now, there are only three princes in the entire southeast. ..
One is Li Zhen, the king of Yue, whose fiefdom is in Yuezhou, one is Li Ming, the king of Cao, who is appointed as the governor of Suzhou, and the other is Li Xuan, the prince of Nanchang County who is appointed as the governor of Wuzhou.
"If it were anyone else, there might really be nothing they can do with that gold mine.
But this king is different. Although I am only the king of the county, I am now appointed as Wuzhou Biejia, and the official is here. Not to mention, in my hand, there is a letter written by the King of Yue, and everyone under the King of Yue's family, etc. , everyone obeys my order, Lieutenant Liu, do you think I should or should not send troops to kill Shangxi Town now? "
After a brief pause, a slight sneer appeared on Li Xuan's lips, and she said with a cruel voice: "Perhaps in Shangxi Town, we may have another chance to meet Mr. Ling."
Liu Ji just knelt on the ground and did not stand up. Under Li Xuan's cold gaze, he finally spoke: "What the prince said is true, Quan Zi did... indeed go to Shangxi Town."
In one sentence, Liu Ji felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained, and he sat paralyzed there.
Li Xuan looked at him and said with cold eyes: "There is something that Lieutenant Liu may not be aware of. In fact, since Luoyang, I have been eyeing everything in Wuzhou, including coal mines, gold mines, iron mines, etc. Mines and other mines, the purpose is to find out how many bandits of the Tianyin Sect are hidden in these places."
Liu Ji couldn't say a word. He knew that what Li Xuan did was actually completely right.
Because for many years, mines in various places have extremely harsh requirements on the treatment of miners, and miners have become increasingly dissatisfied.
These miners are basically strong men in their prime. Once armed, they immediately become good soldiers.
When the time comes to attack cities and counties, it will be easy to roar.
But no matter how good the soldiers are, if they encounter people like Li Xuan, it is difficult for many of them to survive.
This guy's calculations are too astonishing. If he doesn't take action, once he does, there will definitely be countless casualties. .
If Liu Dao really met Li Xuan on the battlefield, Liu Ji was really worried about whether his son, who had never been on the battlefield, was a match for Li Xuan, the king of Nanchang County.
Liu Ji looked at the hem of Li Xuan's sleeves. He had no idea why the Prince of Nanchang County, who had never been on the battlefield, was so familiar with fighting on the battlefield.
"I still have a secret batch of gold and silver in my hands. If the prince..." Liu Ji's voice was a little harsh.
"Of course, attacking the mines directly is either too easy or too boring. In fact, I don't necessarily want to attack the Shangxi Gold Mine now." Li Xuan looked at Liu Ji with a half-smile, and said lightly: "Perhaps I can save it for last. It all depends on how I measure the value of the captain... By the way, where are the things that the captain hid now?"
"Suzhou." Liu Ji lowered his head slightly and said, "People like me will add another layer of identity after our own identity, and then use this layer of identity to buy properties and houses in other places. Once there is a change, We can definitely find a way out."
"Of course, there are some things that we still need to be prepared for." After a slight pause, Li Xuan looked at Liu Daogao and asked, "Where exactly do they store these things in Suzhou now?"
"Suzhou, Huitong Cabinet." Liu Jing breathed out a line of names.
Li Xuan was slightly stunned and asked subconsciously: "Where?"
"Suzhou, Huitong Cabinet Shop." Liu Ji said with certainty. He then followed up and said, "I also met the fourth son of Liu Xueshi's family at Huitong Cabinet Shop in Suzhou..."
He didn't remember the other words behind Liu Ji at all. Four words kept echoing in his mind: "Huitong Cabinet."
The price model that was delivered to An Rongxiang personally by Empress Gu in Yangzhou was also in Suzhou and at Huitong Cabinet Shop.
