Under the waning moon, in the backyard of the state government office.
Wang Fanglin raised a glass of rice wine and toasted to Li Xuan: "Everything happened last night, thanks to my nephew who knew the enemy's plan first, he was able to deal with the rebels so easily."
Li Xuan quickly raised her glass and said in a deep voice: "Thanks to Uncle Shi's cooperation, otherwise it really wouldn't be that easy."
It seems that the Tianyin Sect only has 700 black soldiers, but if those people are patient enough and have a general who is proficient in attacking the city, and the city comes forward to respond internally, then no matter how resourceful Li Xuan is, I am afraid that he will not be able to defeat the enemy. There is no way to escape the fall of the state city.
This is not an empty talk. As long as Li Xuan is replaced as the attacker, he will definitely have enough methods to easily make the entire city uneasy day and night, and then capture the entire city in one fell swoop.
But having said that, there are only a few people like Li Xuan who are proficient in various military strategies and have a deep understanding of people's hearts in Wuzhou.
Wang Fanglin shook his head and said in confusion: "Benzhou has never understood it. They have obviously suffered a heavy setback, but why do they still insist on taking the city? If they continue to operate in Lanxi, and then lead the Muzhou army to enter , then even if we can organize some resistance, I'm afraid the chance of winning will not exceed 30%."
The Tianyin Sect has been planning in Muzhou for who knows how many years, and can easily organize an army of tens of thousands.
This speed is much faster than twenty years ago.
Even if Wuzhou was able to receive the news of Muzhou's revolt as soon as possible, tens of thousands of troops from the Tianyin Sect were pressing down on the border.
I am afraid that within a few days, they will be forced to the gates of Wuzhou City.
By then, with tens of thousands of troops outside and spies inside, it would not be that difficult to conquer Wuzhou in one battle.
Li Xuan put down the wine glass, looked northwest, and said softly: "One is a lesson learned from the past. Cui Governor led the Wuzhou army and people to block them at the foot of Wuzhou City, making them afraid of repeating the same mistakes.
The second is that they are riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off. Before, their layout in the state and city was almost perfect. After a sudden setback, they were eager to regain the situation.
Thirdly, I'm afraid someone is urging me from behind. There may be some news that we don't know. "
With eyes flickering, Li Xuan suppressed the matter of the queen's death.
Wang Fanglin put down his wine glass, looked at Li Xuan, and said: "No matter what, this time, my nephew, we must keep Muzhou's soldiers out of Wuzhou. We must not let them disturb Wuzhou, otherwise they will be destroyed." If everyone deliberately takes advantage of the situation to cause chaos, it will be even more troublesome."
In Wang Fanglin's eyes, it is true that the Tianyin Sect is their biggest enemy, but the Wuzhou family, who has been watching in secret, must also be vigilant.
Who knows when they might do the unthinkable.
When their interests are threatened, let alone assassinating a Wang Fanglin, they will not care even if Li Xuan, thousands of soldiers on the front line, and the entire Wuzhou are sent into despair.
This is the nature of those aristocratic families.
History is endless.
This is also the fundamental reason why Li Xuan asked Wang Fanglin to come back and take charge.
He couldn't trust the Qian family.
I can't trust the others either.
There are many things they can do. For example, through various means, they can find ways to send a new governor to Wuzhou when Wuzhou is in danger. By then, Li Xuan will not be able to do things as easily as he does now. .
And Li Xuan was sure that they would seize the opportunity to take action. After all, Li Xuan knew too many of their secrets.
And Wang Fanglin was also injured and rested for too long.
…
"Then, the transportation of soldiers, ordnance, and food and grass in the back will all depend on Uncle Shi." Li Xuan solemnly bowed his hands in salute, and then he said: "Uncle Shi, do you want my nephew to leave two Qianniu Guards to shock people? .”
"Forget it, if they really want to do something, one or two Qianniu Guards can't deter them. The better you fight on the front line, the less they will dare to move." After a short pause, Wang Fanglin continued. : "You don't have to worry about things in the rear. As long as nothing big happens on the front, they won't dare to mess around in the rear."
"The front line." Li Xuan frowned, and then said: "The Tianyin Sect has been preparing for many years. Once an uprising occurs, I am afraid that the army will arrive at Meiling Pass within three to five days. With my nephew's ability, I can delay the arrival for three to five days. No problem, but if the imperial reinforcements haven’t arrived within three to five days..."
"They need to find the elite black pawns lurking everywhere before they take action. No one wants to go out and have their lair taken away later." Wang Fanglin shook his head.
This time Tianyin Sect scattered more than a thousand black soldiers all over the place. Although they tied their own hands and feet, they also tied up the hands and feet of the imperial army. This is the real trouble.
"We must find a way, otherwise, even if my nephew can sustain himself on the front line, his soldiers will inevitably suffer heavy losses in the end." Li Xuan's face suddenly became serious.
When he came to Wuzhou, in addition to recruiting people and laying a solid foundation, he also hoped to use the war to train his soldiers.
If all of this was lost, he would still be pragmatic.
"It all depends on the nephew himself. All Shishu can do is provide you with whatever you need. Also, some accounts need to be settled carefully." Wang Fanglin's eyes showed a hint of coldness.
Li Xuan knew what he meant. Although all the main players in the assassination case had been dug out, the people who really promoted it from the beginning have never been punished.
Although Qian used trickery to make it impossible to obtain evidence to pursue them, they forgot that some people do not need evidence at all to do things.
It's all from the heart.
It really wouldn't be too easy for the governor of a state to target a family at all costs.
"Uncle Shi, these people can hammer and hammer, but the matter of checking the fields must be put aside for a while." Li Xuan looked at Wang Fanglin and advised in a deep voice: "Wuzhou at this time should be quiet and should not be moved. ah!"
"Don't worry, nephew, uncle Shi understands the importance." Wang Fanglin laughed, and then said: "It's just to scare people. Some cows and horses must have a whip to ring above their heads from time to time."
"That's good. Everything will wait until Tianyin Sect is completely pacified. Those who should settle accounts will naturally settle accounts in the future. However, each major family also needs to be treated differently." Li Xuan had a trace of worry in her eyes.
"The Shen family, the Yang family and the Teng family." Wang Fanglin nodded and said, "This time, as long as they are willing to cooperate, this state will not easily blame them. Instead, it will be the Qian family..."
"Real evidence, Uncle Shi, if you want to confront a noble family head-on, you still need true evidence." Li Xuan reminded Wang Fanglin carefully.
Wang Fanglin shook his head and sighed: "With Qian Zhe's methods, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to reveal flaws."
Li Xuan sat there calmly and did not continue talking.
"Okay, let's talk about something else." Wang Fanglin looked at Li Xuan and said softly: "About Fa Cao He Zheng."
"The details of this matter still need to be reported to the central government, but in this state, we can change it a bit and talk about missing during the battle." After a slight pause, Li Xuan said seriously: "Uncle Shi, it is not appropriate to make people upset at this moment. .”
What Wuzhou City needs most now is peace. If it is revealed at this time that Fa Cao joined the army and Zheng was an internal agent of the Tianyin Sect, it will definitely make people's hearts shake. When the time comes, it will inevitably delay the military needs of the front line.
"That's it." Wang Fanglin nodded, and then said: "As for Lanxi County, there are more than 3,500 households in Lanxi, more than 10,000 people. My nephew needs to be careful, Lanxi County Magistrate..."
Li Xuan and Wang Fanglin talked a lot in the state government office for a long time.
Just before noon, a fleet of fast horses drove out of the state office, and then quickly headed from Yiwu to Dongyang in the direction of Hangzhou.
Six hundred miles to step up.
The memorial signed by the governor of Wuzhou and Biejia of Wuzhou was sent to the Yuezhou Governor's Office, the Governor's Office of Hangzhou and the sacred capital Luoyang at the same time.
People throughout Wuzhou were talking a lot, wondering what the governor Wang and the king of Nanchang had written in the memorial.
…
"You can rest assured that I will keep everything in mind, and I will live up to your expectations."
Li Xuan stood on the pier and saluted Wang Fanglin heavily.
Behind him is the vast Wujiang River and three large ships.
Li Xuan looked at Wang Fanglin, her face full of apologies.
This trip brought Wang Fanglin down from Chisong Temple, and Li Xuan felt a little sorry for him.
Although Wang Fanglin's body has improved a lot after his treatment, in fact, he is still far from being completely healed.
If you don't pay attention, it is very likely that it will relapse, but at this time, Li Xuan has no good solution.
Li Xuan clearly saw all the secret interactions between the Qian family and Zhang Yi, who was a military official.
To be honest, he was really worried about Zhang Yilai taking charge of Wuzhou.
If the Qian family does something here, Li Xuan will be skinned even if he doesn't die.
So he needs someone who can draw the Qian family's attention.
Wang Fanglin, who has been actively promoting the land inventory policy, is naturally the best candidate.
"Your Majesty, it is natural for you to do things properly, but if you need anything, please send us a letter in time, and our state will soon send everything you need to Lanxi." Wang Fanglin said very confidently.
"Then please leave it to your Majesty." Li Xuan smiled relaxedly, and then said as if joking: "It only takes half a day anyway. At worst, I will come back to get it in person."
Everyone present could not help but shudder when they heard this.
The governor Wang Fanglin was just doing some work on checking the fields. Now the whole Wuzhou is actively preparing for the war ahead. Who has time to cooperate with you to check what fields.
But if things on the front line are really delayed, their King of Nanchang will have 10,000 ways to make life or death impossible for you.
Everyone present subconsciously handed over their hands: "I will not delay the needs of the front line. I wish the prince a smooth future and victory."
"In this case, everyone, I have taken the first step. I wonder if you and I will have a chance to meet on the front line." Li Xuan cupped his hands, and then directly boarded the ship in full view of everyone.
On the huge official ship, Qiu Zhenmu, Wang Bo, Feng Hua, and Wang Qin all bowed their hands: "Your Majesty!"
"Everyone, we have to go through the ups and downs together during this trip." Li Xuan cupped her hands and bowed in return.
"Don't dare!"
Li Xuan stood up and looked around. The other two huge ships of the Dushui Division, carrying two hundred soldiers, as well as a large number of crossbows, ordnance, shields and armor, accompanied Li Xuan to the Spirit Cave.
Turning around, Li Xuan looked at the pier.
The governor Wang Fanglin, Sima Qinming, Zhang Yi who recorded affairs joined the army, Hu Cao joined the army Han Jiang, Ku Cao joined the army Li Yuanyi, Inspector Fa Cao joined the army Du Bixing, Inspector Xu Jian Cao joined the army, Shen Tuo of the Shen family of Wuzhou, and Shen Tuo of the Yang family Yang Yan, Teng Jia Teng Yu, and Qian Jia Qian Zhe.
Wuzhou's state officials and heads of aristocratic families all came to see him off.
Li Xuan stood at the bow of the boat and bowed to everyone.
How well he can fight on the front line depends on how much support the people behind him can bring him under the intrigue.
In turn, how much support these people behind him can give him depends on how well he fights on the front line.
The first level is Lanxi.
Lanxi County was infiltrated by the Tianyin Sect very early on.
After watching TV series for so many years, I found that many generals only think about how cruel the external enemies are when they go to war, but they never think about it. There are also many people behind you who don't want to see your success. , even at the expense of the entire army.
Many people died doing this.
Therefore, one must be prepared and aware of conquests and internal and external enemies.
