"The order: Duan Baoxuan, the governor of Yuezhou, is ordered to inspect the school and lead the army on the left, General Wei. He will use the false sword to supervise the military affairs of the six prefectures across Taiwan, Wuquan, and quell the civil unrest in the prefecture. All the officials in the six prefectures will obey his orders, but If there is any resistance, you can cut it off first and then report it."
Written in black and white, placed on the desk in front of Li Xuan was an official document sent by the Yuezhou Governor's Office to Yuezhou and Wuquan to build six states and counties.
The Tianyin Sect uprising was defined as civil unrest in Muzhou.
Duan Baoxuan, as the governor of Yuezhou, inspected General Wei, the leader of the left army, and used the holiday axe.
The fake festival axe, if the emperor comes in person, can kill officials with a weight of less than three thousand stones.
Among the Wu and Yue states, only the governors of the states were officials with three thousand stones.
Duan Baoxuan, as the governor of Yuezhou, used his ax to kill all the officials in Yue Tai, including Wuquan and Jian Liuzhou, except the governor, without asking for instructions from the central government.
This shows the importance of trust in the imperial power.
Li Xuan turned sideways and looked at Du Bixing, the inspector of Wuzhou law who was standing on one side, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you have anything else to tell me?"
Du Bixing solemnly raised his hands to Li Xuan and said: "Your Majesty, the army of the Governor's Office will arrive in Wuzhou soon. Before that, the prince may wish to contact Yuan Chao and others to confirm their intention to surrender. After Yuezhou After the people from the Governor's Mansion arrive, the matter will be handed over."
"Let's do it like this. Since Mr. Du is here, I will entrust him with this matter." Li Xuan looked at Du Bixing with a smile, and he pushed the matter out very neatly.
"Your Majesty!" Du Bixing immediately bowed slightly to Li Xuan with a wry smile and said, "Why does Your Majesty need to embarrass his subordinates about such matters!"
"What kind of embarrassment is this? This is an important task entrusted to you." Li Xuan waved his hand directly, then sneered and said: "The so-called general manager of Wu Yue was just the governor of Muzhou before, and the so-called servant Yuan Chao was just the former Muzhou Bingcao joined the army, and even the fake Sima did not have any official documents from the court. If I am the king to come forward now, then who will talk to people from Yuezhou later? Should I let Governor Duan do it himself? "
Li Xuan shook her head. Sometimes, this kind of procedural issue is really troublesome when it comes to paying attention to it.
Such a reason is indeed difficult to refuse.
And Li Xuan could easily find a lot of similar reasons.
Because he really doesn't want to see that Yuan Chao, at least not now.
"Li Canjun is stationed at Meiling Pass, Xu Canjun led the army to set up defenses between Sanheguan and Lanxi, Wang Canjun and Shen Canjun are building catapults in Sanheguan, but now they have assigned this matter to their subordinates. Your Majesty, you can't favor one over the other. !" Du Bixing rolled his eyes and was already playing the emotional card.
Before Du Bixing finished speaking, Li Xuan became serious. He looked at everyone around him and said, "You guys will go down first."
Many soldiers present raised their hands to Li Xuan and then retreated silently.
Li Xuan looked at Du Bixing seriously and said, "I will meet Yuan Chao, but not now. The reason why I let you go is because among the many people in Wuzhou, Yuan Chao is the least familiar with you.
Among them all, apart from my husband, I am Xu Jian, let alone Xu Jian, who is a martial artist. In addition to letting you go, I want you to judge Yuan's character. I also want to see if Yuan will meet your husband? "
"Is it possible? Why is this?" Du Bixing was stunned for a moment, but then he quickly thought of the reason and said to himself: "If he refuses to see his subordinates, it means that he thinks very highly of himself. If he doesn't take his subordinate, Fa Cao, to join the army in the eyes, it means that he really regards himself as the Sima of Muzhou, or even the servant of the general manager of Wu Yue?"
"Surrender and feigned surrender are just a matter of thought... How much sincerity does Yuan Chao have to surrender and beg for surrender? It depends on how much he is thinking about coming to see Mr. today." Li Xuan summed up the meaning in this sentence with one sentence. The calculation is clearly shown.
Yuan Chao did not directly lead the people to put down their weapons and enter Sanheguan to surrender, but made a posture of negotiation.
In addition to asking for treatment from the court, he also wanted to immediately re-attack Sanheguan if the negotiations failed.
The details here must be grasped clearly, otherwise you may get yourself into trouble if you are not careful.
"I understand." Du Bixing understood Li Xuan's worries. He immediately handed over his hand and quickly turned around and left.
…
The King of Nanchang has no interest in negotiating at all, and many people can see this.
Although he is now in Sanhe Town, the arrangements inside and outside have never stopped.
Especially the Qianniu Guards, which he had already dispersed into the mountains to the north, Yuan Chao would be immediately aware of anything amiss.
…
The sunlight falls on the floor in front of the door, gradually shifting from the west side to the east side.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and Du Bixing walked in with a gloomy look.
When he saw Li Xuan, he immediately changed his expression and cupped his hands towards Li Xuan and said: "Reporting to the prince, my subordinates sat in the Muzhou Army for a day and drank a lot of tea, but the only ones they saw were Yuan Chao's My brother Yuan Ying."
Du Bixing did not see Yuan Chao, which was actually what Li Xuan had expected.
"In this case, I know for sure that this person is either not sincere or has too high demands." Li Xuan nodded directly and said: "In this case, we will not get involved in the negotiation. This matter will be left to Yue Yue. Someone from the state will handle it, and in addition, let the soldiers prepare, we will eventually enter Muzhou by water, and everyone must be prepared to land on the warships of the Dou Shui Division heading north at any time."
"I obey the order." Du Bixing immediately handed over his hand, and then made arrangements with great interest.
Li Xuan massacred all sides at Meiling Pass. Tens of thousands of enemy troops before and after him were killed and routed by more than a thousand of his men.
After hearing this news, many people regretted not following Li Xuan to Meiling Pass.
Otherwise, he would already be full of meritorious deeds by now.
But it's not too late now, because they are about to enter Muzhou.
As long as Yuan Chao surrenders, they will soon be able to take over the entire Muzhou without a single blow.
…
Li Xuan watched Du Bixing disappear into the courtyard at dusk, and then entered the inner room behind the nave.
On the couch in the inner room, Zhang Wanyu was sitting on one side, holding a copy of "The Buddha Speaks of the Moonlight Bodhisattva Sutra" in her hand. There was a finished copy of "The Medicine Master Glazed Light Tathagata's Original Vows and Merit Sutra" randomly placed on the table.
On the contrary, they were placed in the "Taiyin Emperor's Edict", "Taishang Dongzhen Five-Star Secret Teaching Sutra" Taiyin Zhenjun Chapter, "Dongyuan Collection Volume 7" Moon Palace Taiyin Emperor Chapter and other Taoist classics, but she did not read them in detail.
Seeing Li Xuan enter the room, Zhang Wanyu immediately sat up and said with a sneer: "The famous King of Nanchang actually plots against his own men when doing things."
"When did I plot against him?" Li Xuan was a little confused.
"You still said no. When you came yesterday, you clearly had someone send a message to Yuan Chao that you had arrived, but you didn't go to see him when you arrived. Instead, you sent a small soldier to see him. Isn't this obviously looking down on people? , He is willing to meet talents." Zhang Wanyu looked at Li Xuan with a sneer.
However, Li Xuan did not feel dissatisfied at all with her sarcasm. Instead, he nodded thoughtfully and said, "He actually still has time to be angry now. To be angry means that he still has the strength to fight. As long as It’s just wavering.”
Zhang Wanyu suddenly closed her mouth tightly, and she finally realized that she had said the wrong thing.
Li Xuan stood up again in a blink of an eye and quickly went to make arrangements.
Zhang Wanyu didn't see Li Xuan come back all night. It was only the next day that she learned from Qu Ying that Li Xuan had been busy all night last night and checked the files in the middle hall all night, and all of them were local officials in Muzhou. 's files.
Zhang Wanyu, a local official in Muzhou, immediately thought of Shi Xu, the governor of Muzhou.
Shi Xu had already hanged himself.
Nowadays, the real person in charge of the whole Muzhou is Yuan Chao.
Did the King of Nanchang notice something?
The real ruler of Muzhou is the Tianyin Sect, but now Fang Fengjin is dead and Wen Fuzhi is not in Muzhou.
The only person who can truly be the master of the family is the saint Ye Wanwan.
Ye Wanwan, King of Nanchang.
Zhang Wanyu never pretended to connect the two people.
Zhang Wanyu has been with Li Xuan for several days, but has never seen Li Xuan contact Ye Wanwan, Fang Qinger and the others.
Was she really wrong about all this?
Or rather, she is the one who is really leaking information here.
Seeing Qu Ying put the food in her hands on the table, Zhang Wanyu couldn't help but ask: "Qu Ying, you are also..."
Before Zhang Wanyu finished speaking, she heard a burst of rapid footsteps outside.
The voice was very familiar, it was Li Zhu.
Li Zhu stood still in the middle hall, solemnly placed a yellow leather memorial in front of Li Xuan, and then turned around and left.
Li Xuan glanced at the yellow leather memorial and frowned.
Because this memorial is a reply from the Crown Prince.
Only the current prince Li Xian was qualified to write a reply to Li Xuan with a memorial.
Li Xuan frowned and opened the memorial. Sure enough, everything in it was in the emperor's tone.
A letter was a secret message sent to him by Li Zhi through Li Xian's hand.
In the secret order, Li Zhi asked Li Xuan to personally capture the Tianyin Cult Queen. If anyone dared to stop him, Li Xuan could directly kill him first and then report him in the name of the imperial envoy.
You must know that Li Xuan's official position as the inspector of Honglu Temple was not removed. He was still the imperial envoy and the envoy.
Li Xuan now fully understands that when Li Zhi gave him his entire identity in Yangzhou, he had already planned it until today.
Li Xuan reached out and put away the secret letter again, feeling solemn. Compared to Li Zhi, he still had a lot to learn.
After the emperor asked him to personally capture Tianyin Guang, was there anything else going on?
Just like getting involved in Empress Wu's affairs.
Anyone who dares to obstruct can be killed first and then punished.
Who is the person who dares to obstruct it?
…
Li Xuan suddenly smiled slightly and looked faint.
Just as Li Xuan put away the memorial, the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door was heard, and Li Zhu returned without leaving.
Facing Li Xu, Li Zhu reported: "Prince Qi, Sima of the Yuezhou Governor's Office has arrived."
It's him again, Sima Yao Zhi of the Yuezhou Governor's Office. Whenever something happens, you can almost see him.
Li Xuan put away the notebook in his hand and walked quickly to the door. After a while, the two of them had already walked in together.
After sitting down, Li Xuan asked Li Zhu to serve tea, and then said: "Go and invite everyone who joins the army to come here."
"Here!" Li Zhu immediately turned around and left.
At this time, Yao Zhicai looked at Li Xuan with emotion and sighed: "After only a few days of not seeing each other, the prince actually performed extraordinary feats, killing generals and seizing the flag. How can this make us feel so embarrassed?"
"Why join the army to ridicule me? Is it because I have no choice? How could I, a Taoist disciple, cause such a massacre? After the matter is over, I will go to Sanqing Palace to quietly practice for a while. Otherwise, my Taoist heart will be dusted and my future will be worrying. !" Li Xuan sighed with emotion
"Your Majesty is joking." Yao Zhi smiled, then turned around and said, "The official came here this time on the orders of Governor Duan. The Governor had an order: He ordered Wuzhou to stay away and inspect the school, Captain Guo Yi of Kuaiji Prefecture, Li Xuan, together with Sima Yao Zhi of the Yuezhou Governor's Office, jointly summoned Yuan Chao, the former Muzhou soldier Cao who joined the army, to inquire about the affairs of Muzhou. If he commits fraud and lies, he will be killed!"
Li Xuan stood up and raised her hands to Yao Zhi solemnly: "General, I will obey your order!"
