The sound of rapid hoofbeats broke the early morning silence, and a fast horse rushed to the front of the state government office in the blink of an eye.
The official document was immediately delivered to Li Xuan.
"Order Li Xuan, the pacifying envoy of Muzhou, to escort three thousand stones of grain and grass to the intersection of the street immediately, without any mistakes."
Looking at the official documents on the desk, Li Xuan stood in the lobby and frowned tightly.
Yu Ze, Qiu Zhenmu, Du Bixing, Wang Bo, Zhou Shen, Peng Wen and others rushed over immediately.
After they saw the official document, their expressions immediately changed.
Yesterday, they were talking about two days, but how come this transfer order came after only one night.
The so-called escorting grain and grass meant that Li Xuan went directly to the front line.
"Your Majesty, what happened?" Yu Ze couldn't help but ask.
"Captain Duan is preparing for a rainy day. According to the official document, I should arrive at Jiekou tonight. If the front line is unfavorable, I can arrive at the front line in the shortest possible time and capture Black Dragon Ridge quickly without wasting time." Li Xuan My mind has completely calmed down.
He turned to look at everyone and said, "Maybe last night, the officers and soldiers had already fought in Black Dragon Ridge at night, but the result might be unfavorable!"
Hearing what Li Xuan said, everyone present could not help but raise their eyebrows. This was not only disadvantageous.
Maybe the damage to the front line was too great, so Duan Baoxuan hurriedly transferred Li Xuan to the front line.
He didn't want to give any extra time to Qiu Shenji and Huai Jin.
"Du Canjun, Mr. Zian, Captain Zhou, you stay in the city of Muzhou. Uncle Yu, Brother Qiu, and Qi Guang will follow me to the street." Li Xuan gave the order in a very orderly manner in the blink of an eye.
"I accept the order." Everyone present immediately accepted the order.
"Everyone, go get ready. Brother Zhou will stay here for a moment." Li Xuan raised his head and looked at Zhou Shen, who immediately handed over his hand: "Here."
After the others retreated, Zhou Shen took two steps forward, looked at Li Xuan, and asked, "Does the King have any other instructions?"
"Brother Zhou, do you still remember that meteorite that fell from the sky?" Li Xuan suddenly spoke, bringing things back decades ago.
It was a meteorite that fell from the sky that year, directly destroying tens of thousands of Tianyin Sect soldiers.
During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty Liu Xiu once destroyed hundreds of thousands of enemy troops with a Tianyin meteorite.
But from Li Xuan's point of view, the so-called meteorite falling from the sky is just a vague statement.
There are no real meteorites falling from the sky, some are just clever calculations of the human mind.
Zhou Shen's face immediately became solemn, and he raised his hands to Li Xuan: "Your Majesty's orders."
"Tomorrow, uncle Yongchang will arrive in Muzhou. After a short rest, you will take her to the street in person. I will wait for her at Heilongling." Li Xuan looked at Zhou Shen and said, "You have to move quickly. Keep it secret and don’t let others know it.”
"The prince wants to use that 'meteorite' to break through the Black Dragon Ridge?" Zhou Shen couldn't help but curiously asked.
Li Xuan waved her hand directly and said: "It's just a Black Dragon Ridge. Wherever I need to use such a trump card, I will use it at the end to capture the queen."
Zhou Shen suddenly looked stern and held his hands in his hands: "The last general takes orders."
The mountains are high, the forests are dense, and the mountain birds are singing.
Walking on the narrow mountain path, Li Xuan looked much calmer.
Behind him, Wang Bo, Qiu Zhenmu, and a group of Qianniu guards followed closely.
Their group had already left the street entrance and headed to the Black Dragon Ridge.
It was not Duan Baoxuan who ordered them to go to Black Dragon Ridge, but Duan Baoxuan himself had already gone to Black Dragon Ridge.
After Li Xuan and the others escorted the grain and grass to the street entrance, they learned that Duan Baoxuan had rushed to Heilong Ridge in person after the morning transfer order was issued.
All because of an official document that arrived early in the morning.
But no one knew the contents of the official document, because everyone who knew about it rushed to Black Dragon Ridge.
There is only one school captain in Jiekou Town to guard the transportation of grain and grass.
The grain and grass coming from Shezhou and Muzhou are all transferred through Jiekou before being sent to the front line of Heilongling.
After passing through the narrow mountain road, the front suddenly opened. A few hundred meters away, a camp stood majestically, with countless elite soldiers standing guard.
Li Xuan stopped for a moment and looked across the camp.
The rolling mountains ahead seemed endless.
Two steep mountain roads can be faintly seen, leading to the depths of the mountains.
Only when you enter the mountain road can you find that one of these two mountain roads leads to the northeast and the other leads to the southwest. Not to mention the mountains are getting more steep and the turns are getting farther and farther, and they are all heading to the northwest. .
After a while, everyone had arrived at the entrance of the camp. After a brief inspection of the tokens, Li Xuan took Yu Ze, Qiu Zhenmu and Qi Guang, as well as another group of Qianniu Guards and a group of Wuzhou soldiers, and entered the camp. among. .z.
After walking a few steps, Li Xuan saw Sima Yao Zhi coming directly to greet him. Li Xuan immediately relaxed, then quickly handed over his hands and asked: "Sima, what happened that made the governor rush from the street in such a hurry? Black Dragon Ridge."
"One of Captain Huai's arms was broken while attacking the mountain at night." Yao Zhi explained the ins and outs of everything in one sentence.
When Yao Zhi said something, everyone else present subconsciously looked at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan's face became solemn. He did think that he would be frustrated when attacking the mountain at night, but he did not expect that Huai Jin would be injured.
Or even break an arm directly.
Zhechong Captain Huai Jin is the charge general of the entire army. Once he is injured, the entire army's offensive will be blocked.
Under such circumstances, couldn't Duan Baoxuan come in person?
Can't Li Xuan be transferred up the mountain immediately?
Li Xuan was determined and immediately asked, "What about Qiu Changshi?"
Yao Zhi immediately looked disdainful: "As for General Jinwu Guard, as soon as Captain Huaidu was injured, Qiu Changshi would never go out again. He didn't go out to the military camp even once today."
While talking, Yao Zhi saw Qiu Zhenmu behind him and cupped his hands apologetically.
"Sima, don't worry." Qiu Zhenmu returned the favor with a wry smile.
There are not many people in the world who know better than him what kind of temperament his uncle has.
He is arrogant and domineering, but when he encounters real difficulties, he is too protective of himself.
Therefore, in the entire court, there were many people who were afraid of him, but not many who truly believed in him.
"Let's go and see General Zhonglang. We haven't seen each other in Shendu for several months." Li Xuan strode forward.
In the center of the camp, a tall tent stood, surrounded by numerous light and dark sentry posts.
Li Xuan stood at the door, and Yao Zhi went in first: "Captain, the King of Nanchang has arrived."
"Please!" Duan Baoxuan's rich voice came from the camp.
Li Xuan immediately opened the door curtain and strode towards the center of the tent. Without looking at the various captains around, he directly raised his hands to Duan Baoxuan who was sitting behind the desk in the center and said: "Xiaoguan Muzhou appeasement envoy, Don't drive Li Xuan from Wuzhou. I was ordered to transport grain and grass. I met the governor!"
"Now that the King of Nanchang has arrived, this governor will feel much more relaxed." Even though the situation was unfavorable, Duan Baoxuan still showed no sign of fatigue and was still in high spirits. He looked at Li Xuan and said gently: "The King of Nanchang, this This is Shi Qiu Langjun, the governor of Shezhou, I believe you know him."
Li Xuan immediately turned to the left, raised his hands to Qiu Shenji and said, "I have seen General Zhonglang."
"You don't have to be like this, Mr. Twenty-seven. You and I are both working abroad now, so we must support each other." Qiu Shenji's tone was unexpectedly soft.
"Back then, I received the heart-warming guidance of the lieutenant general at Qianniu Guard, and that's how I achieved what I have achieved today. How dare you neglect me so easily?" Li Xuan's expression remained serious, without any sign of relief.
Many people present had expressions on their faces that wanted to laugh but did not dare to.
What kind of person is Qiu Shenji? He is arrogant and harsh towards his subordinates.
During his tenure as Qian Niu Wei Zhonglang Jiang, I don’t know how expensive he was.
The disciples of Zhou were injured and disabled under his hands, not just once or twice.
Many people even refused to serve in Qianniuwei again after they came out from Qiu Shenji.
Of the many people he has trained, few have truly become talents.
Even Li Xuan relied on himself.
However, Qiu Shenji's greatest strength is that he can always find opportunities to defeat his enemies and then make great achievements.
This may seem good, but in fact anyone who knows the inside story knows that most of those defeated by Qiu Shenji were weak opponents.
The most important thing is that when you cooperate with Qiu Shenji, no matter how great your achievements are, he will be the one who makes the greatest contribution in the end.
What Li Xuan said just now was very polite, but everyone could understand what he meant behind the scenes.
Just like Li Xuan's solemn expression, Qiu Shenji's expression has always been gentle.
He pointed to the left side, where a middle-aged general wearing silver fish scale armor introduced Li Xuan: "This is Xue Qianfeng, the captain of Zhechong in Huangshan Prefecture, the second son of Princess Danyang."
"I have met the Prince of Nanchang." Xue Qianfeng saluted Li Xuan seriously.
"I've met my cousin from the Xue family." Li Xuan returned the courtesy to Xue Qianfeng politely.
Xue Qianfeng is not only the son of Li Xuan's aunt, Princess Danyang, but his father is the famous general Xue Wanche.
In the early years of Yonghui, Xue Wanche was executed by Changsun Wuji for being involved in Fang Yiai's rebellion.
The sons of Princess Danyang and Xue Wanche were sentenced to exile in Bianzhou because they were young at the time, but they did not make the trip.
Later, when Changsun Wuji lost power, the treatment of Princess Danyang and her sons was restored.
"The following people are Captain Guo Yi of Huangshan Prefecture and a group of captains under them." Qiu Shenji just glanced past vaguely.
Li Xuan saluted everyone very solemnly, and everyone quickly returned the salute.
Li Xuan finished the salutes one by one, then turned to look to the right, and bowed her hands politely: "I have met Captain Huai."
"I've seen the prince!" Huai Jin's face turned pale, and his left arm was tightly wrapped with a wooden board. It looked like he was seriously injured. He raised his hand slightly and said to Li Xuan: "The general's body has some problems. I'm sorry, I was not polite enough, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"I don't dare. The captain is loyal to the court. How dare you accept the courtesy of the captain." Li Xuan took a step back slightly, avoiding Huai Jin's courtesy, then looked at the others, cupped his hands and said, "I have seen all the captains. "
Lieutenant Guo Yi of Kuaiji Prefecture had always been at the front line, so Li Xuan had never met them.
"I've met the prince!" The two captains of Guo Yi were very polite to Li Xuan. After all, not everyone had such a high status and background.
While Li Xuan saluted, he carefully observed the expressions on everyone's faces. Although almost everyone maintained a peaceful appearance, secretly, there were some with disdain in their eyes, some with sincerity and fear, all kinds of things.
Li Xuan turned around, looked at Duan Baoxuan again, and said solemnly, "My subordinates have arrived. I wonder if the governor has anything else to say. If not, I will return to Muzhou overnight, and the follow-up food and grass are being shipped one after another."
Use retreat to advance.
Many people present had these four words pop up in their minds at the same time.
