In the Fang's ancestral hall, Duan Baoxuan sat at the top with a hesitant expression.
Sitting on the lower left side, Li Xuan watched Huai Jin take the order and turn away, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Turning back, he looked at Duan Baoxuan and asked with surprise: "Captain, haven't Captain Huai noticed something fishy about this?"
"How could he not notice it? The excessive number of soldiers and strong combat power in the rebel frontline today has already caused him a big loss. If he still can't notice it, he should not become the Commander-in-Chief of Zhechong."
As he said that, Duan Baoxuan snorted coldly, and then cursed rudely: "He is just a fool. He is too closely connected with that other party. Even if there is just a letter from there, he has to act according to the other party's instructions."
Although Huai Jin was a strong general, he was able to become the captain of Zhechong in Kuaiji Mansion mainly because of Qiu Shenji's matchmaking.
Behind Qiu Shenji stood Ming Chongyan, the most trusted demon of Empress Wu.
Therefore, many times, even if Huai Jin senses something is wrong, he still has to act according to the other party's request.
At most, they can use Li Xuan and Duan Baoxuan as shields to delay it for a while.
"What about the Kuaiji Mansion soldiers?" Li Xuan looked at Duan Baoxuan worriedly.
"It doesn't matter, he can only mobilize his own troops." Duan Baoxuan waved his hand without paying much attention.
In addition to Zhechong Captain Huaijin, Kuaiji Mansion also had two Captain Guo Yi, each of whom controlled a regiment of soldiers.
Duan Baoxuan was experienced in his methods and had the blessing of the Holy Will. He had already taken control of the other two Captain Guo Yi.
Besides, Duan Baoxuan still has the right to kill first and then report later.
Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the overall situation was not in chaos. As for Huai Jin, Li Xuan wished that he and Qiu Shenji could get closer.
"Let's leave this matter as it is. Under the strict orders of the governor, he does not dare to mess around." Duan Baoxuan changed the topic and looked at Li Xuan seriously: "What is the situation in Muzhou now?"
Li Xuan quickly picked up an official document from the side and handed it to Duan Baoxuan's hand.
"This is what my subordinates have been doing in the city these past few days. The governor's previous instructions have been arranged, and there are other things that have been done in the district."
Duan Baoxuan read the official document carefully, nodded slightly, looked at Li Xuan and asked, "What do you think is the most difficult thing in Muzhou now?"
"It's the county magistrates." Li Xuan pointed out the biggest trouble directly, shook his head and said: "At the beginning of the Tianyin Sect's uprising, all the county magistrates were executed and sacrificed to the flag. No one was spared. Nowadays, the state government can only control the counties and control the actions of the county magistrates in each county. There are too many differences."
The governor and county magistrate are the highest officials in each state and county, and the other Cao Cao, chief historian, and Sima are just assistant officials.
Only Li Xuan has the right to act as governor on his behalf.
Without the governor and county magistrate, everything was stumbling.
"I have no choice but to ask the prince to go down there more so that the people can feel where the king has returned." Duan Baoxuan shook his head slightly.
Although he can forcibly appoint someone as an imperial envoy to inspect the county magistrate, the Ministry of Personnel will definitely not recognize it in the end.
In comparison, his appointment of assistant officers such as Cao Cao who joined the army, Chang Shi, and Sima was much more useful.
"The next day, the lower official will hold a ceremony to sacrifice the land. Can the governor make it back?" Li Xuan subconsciously looked out the door.
Duan Bao
"My nephew will definitely live up to his trust." Li Xuan nodded solemnly.
"My good nephew has always done things properly, but I still want to remind my good nephew to be careful. The real difficulties in the Muzhou incident have not yet begun. As soon as the situation calms down, countless people will pour in from outside the state and collude. Officials divided fields and robbed property..."
"It's nothing more than killing." Li Xuan's eyes instantly became serious, but he said extremely softly: "My nephew has no hope of making meritorious service on the front line, so he can only kill a few heads for fun in the rear... Maybe, it can still be done give some
He was charged with conspiracy. "
"My dear nephew, just remember to cut the grass and root out the roots." Duan Baoxuan said it very casually.
Only Yao Zhi paused and fidgeted.
How could Yao Zhi not understand the real threat mentioned by Duan Baoxuan.
That means they are the Wu Yue family.
If the King of Nanchang just thwarts their plan, even if he kills a few people, those people will fight to the death and even retaliate madly. But if the King of Nanchang seizes the opportunity and accuses them of treason, With the murderous methods of the King of Nanchang, he will definitely kill all of them, and the charge of treason will be severely punished.
If it's just the former, those Wuyue families don't care at all.
It's just a few people dying, it doesn't matter.
But if they are related to treason and are targeted by the emperor, then even if they are not dead, they will still have several layers of skin peeled off.
In fact, Yao Zhi knew that Li Xuan and Duan Baoxuan were saying this in front of him just to let him spread the word.
If someone really refuses to listen and wants to test whether the blade is sharp, then the King of Nanchang will definitely use human heads to prove that his nickname of "Slaughter of Ten Thousand People" is not false.
"It is up to the prince to deal with the affairs of the state city. However, it is not easy to capture the Tianyin Sect's main altar in the mountain." Duan Baoxuan sighed softly and frowned slightly.
Li Xuan raised her head and glanced at Yao Zhi. Yao Zhi immediately understood. He stood up and said with his hands in his hands: "I still have things to deal with, so I will leave for now."
"Yeah!" Duan Baoxuan nodded slightly.
Seeing Yao Zhi exiting the ancestral hall, Li Xuan looked at Duan Baoxuan and said solemnly: "According to Baiqisi's information, the Tianyin Sect left at least more than 3,000 corpses under Beiye City. Even if we don't consider Injuries, they came from the east, there are at least 6,000 people."
Huai Jin judged that there were only more than two thousand remaining soldiers of the Tianyin Sect, but Li Xuan said with certainty: No, the number is far more than three times.
"Also, I'm afraid there are less than 500 soldiers supported by Huangshan Mansion, maybe even less." Li Xuan shook his head helplessly. Qiu Shenji brought fewer people than he said. many.
"Qiu Shenji has always been fond of taking risks and has a great gambling habit. He is probably luring the soldiers of the Kuaiji Prefecture as a cover, and then stabbing directly from behind. If he succeeds, he will succeed, and if he fails, others will bear greater responsibility. Duan Baoxuan sneered.
He had dealt with Qiu Xinggong before, and that guy's temperament was like this. Qiu Shenji was just the same.
"The more dangers you take, the greater the risks you encounter. If you are not careful, the entire army may be destroyed." Li Xuan looked very cautious.
Duan Baoxuan said calmly: "But the greater the risk, the easier it is to win."
Li Xuan looked at Duan Baoxuan cautiously and advised in a low voice: "In Tianmu Mountain, the mountain roads are rugged and difficult, and it is easy to set up ambushes. At this moment, the road leading to the main altar in Tianyinjiao Mountain is probably already covered with countless traps. Our army only needs to move step by step and fight steadily. Even if it takes a little more time, we can trap the queen in the main altar and destroy it in one fell swoop."
"It's good to play slowly and steadily, but I'm afraid I won't have the time." Duan Baoxuan shook his head slightly and looked at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan immediately understood who was urging him from behind, and he said carefully: "But once it fails, it will easily affect the overall situation."
Duan Bao First of all, Captain Huai will inevitably have reasons to act rashly."
For example, Huai Jin retreated five miles deep into the mountain road without authorization, and ultimately lost his troops and generals.
Duan Baoxuan is a sophisticated person, and if something goes wrong, he will take responsibility faster than anyone else.
Li Xuan sighed softly and said, "After all, Captain Huaidu is a fierce general. He led the charge with personal force. I believe that even if there is a trap, Captain Huai will definitely be able to break the trap and get out. Such a fierce general will be the best in the world." I’m afraid I won’t see you often.”
Duan Baoxuan nodded slightly, that was why he could tolerate Huai Jin.
This is what even Qiu Shenji likes about him.
"In this way, the governor sits at the rear, divides the troops, and controls the speed of each road. Captain Huai just lets them charge into the battle." Li Xuan couldn't help but gave a helpless smile. Some people insisted on dying on their own. No one else can stop it.
Huai Jin is now a chess piece, Qiu Shenji treats him as a chess piece, Duan Baoxuan and Li Xuan also treat him as a chess piece.
Even a bait, a discard.
"Why think too much, everyone has his own destiny." Duan Baoxuan's expression was very calm.
Li Xuan nodded and said: "Indeed, even if we don't do anything, he will definitely reach that point... Even if we want to help him, he may not turn around, so just let him go. .”
Duan Baoxuan raised his head, looked at Li Xuan, smiled slightly, and said with admiration: "The prince is much smarter than the prince. If the prince can see through people's hearts like the prince, the old prince will be more relieved."
"Brother Wang has a simple nature, and it is a good thing that brothers and sisters are respectful to each other." Li Xuan shook his head slightly.
Prince Huo's eldest son, Li Xu, has a kind-hearted temperament, but he has a sinister heart, so he'd better not take it too seriously.
After all, in the eyes of the emperor, this kind of person is the most trustworthy.
"What happens to Captain Huaidu is left to fate and depends on his own fate." Duan Baoxuan raised his head, looked at Li Xuan, and said seriously: "But if something happens to Captain Huaidu, the prince will still need to take care of him. be prepared."
"My nephew knows it well." Li Xuan raised his head and whispered: "Now, Muzhou and Shezhou are attacking from two sides. As long as they are not too impatient and the whole army is annihilated, the outcome of the rebels will not change. Now What needs to be guarded against is to cut off their tails to survive.
That's what they did back then. We may be able to kill Empress Gu, but we may not be able to block all her escape routes. "
"Don't worry, my dear nephew, someone will take care of the queen when she arrives. All we have to do is do our part."
Duan Baoxuan clicked lightly, and Li Xuan immediately understood. He cupped his hands and whispered, "My nephew understands."
The Queen's strength has already exceeded the Xuantai realm, and there is no way that Li Xuan and Qiu Shenji can fight against her.
If you want to kill her, you can still be ruthless.
"Front line, my dear nephew, please don't go. Come back now. Your Majesty has great expectations for the people's livelihood in Muzhou. Your Majesty, don't let your Majesty down." Duan Baoxuan had already begun to see off the guests.
Li Xuan immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said, "My nephew must try his best. As long as my nephew is here, everything will be fine. However, those who come later may not be able to see through the risks involved."
"Does the prince want to ask who will be the successor as governor?" Duan Baoxuan smiled, looked at Li Xuan and said, "This person is an acquaintance of the prince. Don't worry, the prince. This person will definitely not disappoint the prince, and he will not disappoint your majesty." disappointment."
"Oh?" Li Xuan raised an eyebrow, he was an acquaintance.
There are not many people who can see things like land thoroughly, and there are even fewer people who can continue his policies.
Can you guess who such a character is by just guessing?
Li Xuan raised her head fiercely, her eyes full of horror.
How is it possible, how could it be him?
Duan Baoxuan just smiled softly.
