Don't stay in the official mansion, the light and shadow are dim.
Li Xuan stood behind the writing desk, with a piece of rice paper spread out in front of her. She held the slender bamboo tube Cuihao pen in her hand, and then lightly sketched on the rice paper.
Yan Tao stood in front of Li Xuan, holding the recruitment order document in his hand and carefully reading every word on it.
After a long time, Yan Tao put down the official document and looked at Li Xuan with a serious face: "Your Majesty, in this case, the subordinate will be transferred to the Kuaiji Mansion Army after the war is over?"
"It's up to you!" Li Xuan shook his head indifferently, without even raising his head to look at Yan Tao, and said in a calm voice: "You are now a seventh-grade soldier and a member of the army. After the war is over, if you are willing to be transferred, your accumulated military merits will be If you can make a special contribution, you may be able to hold the position of captain and captain."
Military positions have always been based on military merit, at least in Li Xuan's case.
If Yan Tao does not want to transfer to the Fubing, he can also be transferred to Shangzhou.
But don't think about it, Sima Changshi. At most, he will just record the affairs and join the army, and this will only happen if he has connections behind his back.
Yan Tao looked at the official document in his hand, finally raised his head, looked at Li Xuan, and cupped his hands deeply: "I wonder if the prince wants me to take any other position?"
"Have you thought it through?" Li Xuan paused the green brush in her hand, raised her head and looked at Yan Tao: "Do you know what this means?"
"Xiaguan is willing to become the queen of Prince Ji." A wry smile appeared on Yan Tao's face, and he cupped his hands and said: "If you think about this matter carefully, if you want to pursue it, even if Xianguan has made special achievements, it will only be merit at best. Even if you want to get promoted in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve anything."
"It's rare for you to see it so clearly." Li Xuan looked at Yan Tao in surprise, then nodded and said, "If someone really pursues the assassination of Wang Jishun, even if you have made great achievements, you may still have to be transferred. Leaving Wuzhou, even this will be recorded in your official file forever...
If you transfer to the Fubing, then no one will care about your things in Wuzhou. If you have an assistant later, you can easily be transferred to another state to serve, and the previous stains will be washed away. "
"So it can still be like this." A look of surprise appeared on Yan Tao's face, and then he immediately said: "The king has said so, how can I, the lower official, have any choice?"
Li Xuan lowered her head again and continued to sketch on the rice paper on the desk. At the same time, she said: "In fact, in my opinion, you are not suitable to be a soldier and join the army because you lack knowledge in training soldiers and things other than combat. He is sensitive enough, so even if he served as a soldier for many years, he would be easily infiltrated in the end, but if he went to serve in the army, he would not have such worries."
After a pause, Li Xuan shook his head and said: "In fact, in my eyes, you are more suitable to be a general who charges into battle, rather than a commander who strategizes. If you encounter someone like you on the battlefield, You can easily win against an enemy, but if you encounter someone on the battlefield who is more proficient in conspiracy and calculation than you, you have to be careful."
"My subordinate understands." Yan Tao quickly adjusted his mentality.
Li Xuan nodded and said: "Under my command, there is also a captain who has served in the Xinlin Mansion. He is now commanding a team of troops in Dongyang. Now I want you to command a team of troops. , recruiting soldiers in the state city, but your people will be stationed here."
Li Xuan said, turning the rice paper in her hand directly.
Only now did Yan Tao see clearly that what Li Xuan had sketched on it was actually a detailed picture of Wuzhou's rivers.
"Lingdong Township!" Yan Tao's face was immediately filled with surprise when he saw where Li Xuan's finger was pointing, which was Lingdong Township in the northwest of Wuzhou.
"This place is located at the junction of Lanxi and Jinhua. The bend of the river here is the most dangerous place in the entire Wujiang River after it comes out of the mountains. In the future, the official grain from Lanxi will be transported to Wuzhou, so this place is the best place to start." Li Xuan placed the brush in her hand on the inkstone, and then her eyes fell on the Wuzhou river map again.
The finger moved up the Wujiang River to Lanxi, and then moved down to Zhoucheng.
Li Xuan said softly: "Now, the situation in the city has gradually fallen into my hands. Although the Tianyin Sect has a backup force, its strength is weak. I guess that they
More of the manpower has been transferred from the state city to the subordinate counties. "
Li Xuan's face suddenly became solemn, and all the joints were focused on one crux at this time, which was Xia Shuang.
Fang Yunxiu is undoubtedly a difficult person to deal with.
Li Xuan has now realized this.
Now, he has controlled the four gates of Wuzhou and the five watchtowers of Wuzhou.
It can be said that as long as Li Xuan walks around the five watchtowers, he can tell at a glance how many Tianyin Sect cores there are in the entire Wuzhou.
However, it is a pity that in Wuzhou today, apart from Fang Yunxiu and Ye Wanwan, there are only a few killers.
The real main force of Tianyin Sect Wuzhou Hall has been transferred.
If Li Xuan wasn't being closely watched now, it would be inconvenient to go to the following counties and villages to see him. Otherwise, with his own methods, he could find all the Tianyin Sect's main forces in Wuzhou, and then Brazen killing.
These people from the Tianyin Sect were hiding very deep. Especially before Li Xuan arrived in Wuzhou, they seemed to have noticed something was wrong and moved the main force in time.
This kind of thing also happened in Hangzhou.
On the surface, it seems that those from the Tianyin Sect used people from other sects of the Demon Sect to assassinate Li Xuan, but if you think about it carefully, it is difficult not to make people doubt that they have actually mastered something, and then they It can be circumvented by using various targeted means.
Li Xuan didn't believe that they knew that he had the reminder entry. He even believed that the Tianyin Sect suspected that there was something wrong internally.
Only when internal problems lead to the leakage of secrets will Li Xuan seize the opportunity, just like what happened in Dongyang.
People were scattered everywhere, but Li Xuan easily found them and defeated them one by one.
But they didn't dare to completely concentrate their manpower, because in fact, Li Xuan was not the only one who was watching them secretly.
"Food, as long as the people of the Tianyin Sect keep an eye on the food, no matter what we do in Zhoucheng, they will have the ability to reverse the situation." Li Xuan's fingers slipped from Zhoucheng to Dongyang, and gently I clicked on it, and then took it to Yiwu, Jinhua, Wuyi, Pujiang, Pan'an, Yongkang, and finally landed in Lanxi.
"Several other places have either been pacified, or the mountainous terrain is difficult to navigate, or they are surrounded by plains, which is conducive to the movement of the army. Only Lanxi is the only one with mixed mountains and plains, and the Wujiang River flows through the entire territory, and can even go directly to the prefecture. city.
Moreover, Lanxi is the only way for Muzhou to enter Wuzhou, so those Lanxi are extremely important to Tianyin Sect. If they want to incite the people to revolt, the only thing they can do is to make a fuss about food. "
Li Xuan's breathing became heavy, and her eyes were fixed on Lan Xi.
Yan Tao on the side scanned the entire territory of Wuzhou, and finally had to nod and said: "Indeed, the prince has pacified Dongyang in the five southeastern counties, and his power can radiate to the nearby counties. The two southwest counties are also mountainous and have complex terrain. Even if there is a change, it will be enough for us to react, and Jinhua is close at hand, so the only one the other party can attack is Lan Xi."
Li Xuan couldn't help but said with a wry smile: "I don't mind if the other party takes action in other directions, so that the terrain can be used to buy time, but Lanxi, the crux of this place is too serious.
Once the summer harvest begins, and the other party takes advantage of us to collect all the grain from the people and takes it away from us, then we will be passive. "
"That's why the prince asked his subordinates to guard Lingdong Township, which happens to be the junction of Lanxi and Zhoucheng. No matter where trouble occurs, they can respond in time." Chinese website
Yan Tao now completely understood Li Xuan's thoughts.
Li Xuan nodded and said: "As long as the tax grains are transported into the city, then with my king here, they can never take over the city. If they can't get enough tax grains, then they can only collect money from the people everywhere. Grabbing food in hand.
Once they stand on the opposite side of the people, their fate is already doomed. "
The Tianyin Sect itself started with the slogan of creating better things for the common people.
Soldiers, once they start to plunder food from the people, no matter what excuse they use, when they start to plunder the few rations in the hands of the people, their own foundation will immediately collapse.
In the end, the so-called rebel army was nothing more than a piece of loose sand.
"Your Majesty has great plans, and I admire him." When Yan Tao heard what Li said, his eyes showed a look of solemnity.
This is an upright conspiracy. If those of the Tianyin Sect want to rebel, they must fight against them head-on.
But when it comes to head-on confrontation, Yan Tao has come off the battlefield after all, and he has the most confidence in this kind of thing.
"As long as you have an idea." Li Xuan picked up the fine pen again and sketched on the rice paper again.
In two or three strokes, the entire Wuzhou city, including the four gates of the city, including five watchtowers, various neighborhoods, the governor's office, the four major families, as well as the grain depot and armory.
Everything, with two or three strokes of outline, fell between the rice paper on Li Xuan's desk.
Finally, Li Xuan stopped writing, and the entire Wuzhou City appeared clearly in Li Xuan's pen.
"In the afternoon, you, my king, Zhang Canjun, and Han Canjun will go to inspect the state treasury. At least half of the existing grain and weapons in the warehouse will belong to you in the future. You have to keep a close eye on it. Everything in it will belong to you." If anything goes wrong, you will have to pay for it with the lives of your soldiers in the future."
Li Xuan's last words seemed to be branded directly into Yan Tao's mind.
Yan Tao suddenly became solemn, then he looked at Li Xuan and raised his hands seriously: "Your Majesty, don't worry, does this official know what to do?"
"Well!" Li Xuan picked up the towel on the side, wiped his hands gently, and said, "Let's go, I will have lunch with the king at the state government office, and we will go to inspect the treasury together in the afternoon. I just hope that this treasury, Just be sure nothing goes wrong."
