People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 371 Soldiers send out spirit caves, cut off Wujiang River

In the study room, Hu Danxu and Qi Guang stood on one side, hands clasped, and they exchanged eyes silently.

Li Xuan ignored the two of them, lowered his head, and wrote letters on the table. He was not writing fast, and was still deliberating from time to time.

Suddenly, a burst of footsteps sounded outside the door.

Li Zhu then entered from outside the door.

Li Xuan didn't look up, she was still lowering her head and writing.

Standing in front of the table, Li Zhu cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to the lord, after Chen Ming visited Xu Ge in prison, he went to the county government office and met Shan Ji, the head arrester in the county."

After a short pause, Li Zhu continued: "The two are now drinking together in Fengyue Tower."

"Yeah!" Li Xuan nodded slightly, raised her head and glanced at Li Zhu lightly.

The subordinates resigned. "Li Zhu cupped his hands, then turned and walked away, continuing to monitor the movements of Chen Ming and Shan Ji.

At this time, Li Xuan finally finished writing the letter.

Putting the letter aside and waiting to dry, Li Xuan looked up at Qi Guang and asked, "How is the training of your subordinates?"

Qi Guang immediately took a step forward and said in a respectful voice: "The operation is good, and you can fight and dare to fight."

After a slight pause, Qi Guang followed up and said, "Thanks to Qiu Beishen's guidance, otherwise those subordinates who only knew how to fight straight ahead would all die within three to five rounds on the battlefield."

"Being able to figure this out means that you have indeed learned something." Li Xuan nodded, and said softly: "Qiu Beishen used Qianniuwei's method, although he only trained you for a few days, but What you have learned in the past few days will benefit you forever."

"This subordinate understands!" Qi Guang bowed his hands solemnly to Li Xuan, and then said: "Subordinate..."

Li Xuan waved his hand directly, and said impatiently: "Don't say such polite words, although I hope you can train for a few more days, but the situation is urgent now, and I need you to hurry to the cave tomorrow... As for the training , After arriving at the Lingdong, Captain Yan will take over."

Yan Tao joined the army as a soldier in Wuzhou. Although Li Xuan has suspended him from being a soldier in the state, he is still listed as a soldier in Wuzhou in the court roster.

However, he has now accepted the post of Lieutenant of the Kuaiji Mansion, and this point has basically been decided.

As for whether he will be an official or a general after the war, it depends not only on his own wishes, but also on his meritorious deeds.

No matter what, Yan Tao has been in charge of the soldiers and joined the army for many years, and training new soldiers is what he is best at.

Not to mention, he himself came down from the battlefields of the Western Regions, and he was a Predator who had experienced truly brutal fighting.

What he can teach others is the personal instinct of surviving life and death on the battlefield.

"Your subordinate obeys the order!" Qi Guang immediately handed over his promise without any hesitation.

Li Xuan nodded, and blew on the ink stain on the letter paper, and the entire ink stain dried up immediately.

Li Xuan just rolled up the letter paper and put it in the bamboo tube, and then said to Qi Guang: "Tell Yan Canjun that after two days, the Wujiang River will be completely sealed off. Anyone and any ship are allowed to leave Wuzhou, and no one is allowed." Any ship enters Wuzhou."

"Follow the order!" Qi Guang took the letter carefully.

"Remember, only block the river, if other people try to force their way in from the land, don't worry about it." Li Xuan's eyes shone with calculation.

"Yes!"

"Also, fully prepare for the battle. Once the battle starts, you will be the vanguard and go straight to Lanxi and Meiling Pass." Li Xuan's words made Qi Guang immediately excited, and he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Follow the order!"

Li Xuan smiled and added: "If you have time, dig some traps on the mountain. It doesn't need to be too much, just enough to scare you!"

"My lord, don't worry, this is what my subordinates are best at." Qi Guang's excited eyes couldn't help jumping up.

"There is one last point." Li Xuan's expression turned completely cold in an instant: "Once there is a fire in Chisongguan, no matter what the reason is, no matter when, immediately mobilize troops to attack Lanxi, and take it down with the last speed. Meiling Pass."

"Follow the order!" Qi Guang directly agreed without the slightest hesitation.

The corner of Hu Danxu's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Qi Guang didn't know where the Chisong Temple was, nor what it meant.

Maybe even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

In his eyes, Nanchang Wang Zhiling is the first.

"Okay, go down and get ready!" Li Xuan nodded solemnly to Qi Guang.

Qi Guang immediately bowed to Li Xuan, then turned around and quickly left the study.

At this time, only Li Xuan and Hu Danxu were left in the study.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the whole study was completely solemn.

"You heard what you said just now." Li Xuan looked at Hu Danxu with sword-like eyes.

"Yes!" Hu Danxu nodded seriously, with a serious expression on his face.

"Chen Butou is currently having a secret meeting with Shan Butou in Jinhua County. I don't know what method he will use, whether it is threatening or deceiving. He will always ask Shan Butou to bring the poison to the villa, and then let me Take it and die from poisoning." Just after Li Xuan finished speaking, Hu Danxu fell to his knees on the ground.

Seeing Hu Danxu's face full of pain, he begged for permission, "I don't know what happened to Chen Butou, I dare not extravagantly ask the lord for forgiveness, I don't dare to ask the lord to forgive me, but I just ask the lord to let the officials stop me. The official can't bear to see him do such a stupid thing."

"You can't stop it. He has a handle in someone else's hands. It's the kind of handle that will immediately kill his whole family once it is exposed. You think you can stop this." Li Xuan shook her head, since Chen Ming betrayed Wang Fanglin, he was doomed to have no turning back.

"Subordinate, I still want to give it a try." Hu Danxu bowed his head heavily, and said, "Chen Butou has taken good care of his subordinates for many years. Although there is no special courtesy, there is no special harsh treatment. The officer is already grateful."

Only people who are in the officialdom understand that if a person has never harmed you, and never intends to harm you, then this person is a rare good person.

Especially when he is your immediate boss.

"You are a person who knows how to be grateful, but I still hope that you can find someone to be grateful for."

Li Xuan came out from behind the table, walked past Hu Danxu, then stood at the door, looked at the white daisies outside, and said softly: "If my guess is right, later today, Shan Ji should be Come to you, or threaten, or cheat to give you poison, and then ask you to poison this king."

"What?" Hu Danxu was stunned.

Chen Ming asked Shan Ji to give him the poison, and then asked him to poison the king of Nanchang. How is this possible?

The poison obviously belonged to Chen Ming, why didn't Chen Ming go to him directly.

Also, what will happen in the middle, how could the King of Nanchang know this.

At this moment, Chen Ming and Shan Ji should still be meeting alone.

Besides, even if Chen Ming gave Shan Ji poison, Shan Ji might not agree, and why would he come to him with poison.

Although I knew him well, I definitely didn't know him well enough to help him kill someone.

Shaking his head vigorously, Hu Danxu's mind was muddled.

As the leading figure in the prefectural government's arrest, Hu Danxu's personal ability is definitely not bad, but he couldn't figure out the matter in front of him.

"In fact, as long as you go back and wait, Shan Ji will definitely come to the door, there is no doubt about it." Li Xuan stood at the door, looked at the clear sky outside, and said softly: "Because you are the only one in their lineage who can really approach you." The king, the person who poisoned the king, how could they not look for you... and their time is so urgent."

"So, they are looking for me because I am the only one who has the chance to do it?" Hu Danxu instantly felt a sense of incomparable absurdity and a hint of coldness, because deep in his own heart, he understood very clearly that he must Is such that.

Li Xuan's words cleared up all the causes and consequences.

As for the middle, some things that are still unclear for the time being, can be solved by shady means.

"Your family, the king has already sent people back to protect them in advance, but whether you can make it in time depends on your luck." Li Xuan stepped out of the study, stood in the empty backyard, and looked at the people who were all around. Qian Niuwei said softly: "But right now, no matter what it is, you need to respond temporarily, or pretend not to know, and deliver the medicine to this king."

Hu Danxu immediately reacted: "My lord wants to be subordinate..."

"This king needs to get sick, so that some people will be more courageous." There was a trace of coldness in Li Xuan's eyes, and she said softly: "Next time, this king also wants to take a look, what kind of poison is it, and there are people Use this king to attack."

Li Xuan is the disciple of the medicine king Wei Xuanzang, the medicine king is the person who has the deepest research on the world's pharmacology, so naturally he can best overcome the world's poisons.

Although Li Xuan is not as good as Wei Xuanzang, his research on toxicology has surpassed many people in the world. It is really crazy for someone to attack him.

"The subordinate takes orders."

Li Xuan nodded, turned to look at Hu Danxu and said, "You still have some potential, I don't want to see you go astray like this, the most important thing is that you didn't participate in those things before."

"The previous matter, what matter?" Hu Danxu was slightly taken aback, some did not understand the meaning of Li Xuan's words.

Li Xuan didn't answer Hu Danxu, but changed his mouth and said, "Let's talk about He Joining the Army. How is he?"

"He Canjun." Although Hu Danxu didn't understand why Li Xuan changed his words, he still followed his voice and said: "He Canjun is a peaceful person, but he has strict requirements on the law. I wait for the solution, but he almost paranoidly asks me to wait." Do it according to the requirements of the law, and you can't make any mistakes, but the rules are too strict, and sometimes it is difficult for ordinary people to accept."

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Then what are his usual personal preferences?"

"Reading, painting, and resting days often set foot outside the city, and occasionally discover unexpected cases. He is very honest and even a little arrogant." Hu Danxu looked at Li Xuan and said seriously: "This subordinate knows what the prince is suspicious of. , He Sima will definitely not have any problems."

"It has been more than two months since the assassination of Inspector Wang, and before this king arrived in Wuzhou, Bingcao and Facao didn't find any clues. Do you think it's normal?" Li Xuan's eyes showed a cold look.

"Didn't it mean that Bingcao's side has been infiltrated by Tianyin Sect?" Hu Danxu showed a trace of hesitation on his face.

There was a sneer on the corner of Li Xuan's mouth, and he said disdainfully: "There is a problem with Bingcao, so what about Facao, is there no problem with Facao at all?
There is the left direction in the front, and Chen Ming in the back. Has He Canjun really not discovered the problem of Facao?

Is it his lack of ability, or is he deliberately turning a blind eye.

If it was the latter, he would be punished! "

"This is, this is..." Hu Danxu subconsciously opened his mouth to defend himself, but at this moment, countless strange things he had discovered intentionally or unintentionally, all flooded into his heart at this moment,
He Zheng, who joined the army as a cao, is definitely not incompetent. He can firmly hold the position of joining the army as a cao, and his ability is by no means comparable.

Almost all the arresting officers in Wuzhou are under his command.

Even the governor and Sima need to rely on his strength, how can it be that they are not capable enough, so they can only be intentional...
