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

Chapter 396 Rewarding merit and punishing evil, blockade Wujiang

With a "click", a raindrop suddenly fell from the sky and landed on the torch with embers on the ground.

A wisp of blue smoke rose immediately.

A broken knife next to him was stuck upside down in the ground, reflecting an immature and distorted face.

There was still a trace of bewilderment in the godless eyes, but the breathing had been completely cut off.

Farther away, more corpses were lying on the ground, most of them were young, wearing black clothes and armor.

Most of the armor is leather armor, and the galloping Qianniu knife, sharp long spear, and vicious crossbow arrows all penetrate it.

On the battlefield within a few miles, there were still [-] roars of fighting, but more of them were soldiers ruthlessly making up their swords.

……

"Tonight's gains must be calculated clearly, and every soldier should have no less meritorious service." A calm voice sounded from the city gate tower.

Li Xuan was wearing a black fish-scale armor, holding the Eight-Faced Han Sword in his hand, looking at the battlefield with embers still in front of him with a calm expression.

"The next official obeys the order." Zhang Yi stood up from behind and clapped his hands in agreement.

Now that Si Gong joined the army and Wang Qin is not around, all the examinations will naturally be taken care of by him, the secretary and join the army.

"Yeah!" Li Xuan nodded, turned his back to Zhang Yi and said, "Jinhua County came at a critical moment, blocked the retreat of the rebels, and caused the rebels to be wiped out several times.
Other school inspectors Cao Canjun, Xu Jian, Qianniu Beishen Qiu Zhenmu, and school inspector Cao Canjun, Du Bixing, each received first class merit;
Du Bixing took the lead, and the others will report to the king after verification.

After the king signed with the governor, he reported to the center. "

"Thank you for your kindness!" Ning Yi, Xu Jian, Qiu Zhenmu, and Du Bixing cupped their hands at the same time.

Li Xuan waved his hand casually, and the four of them stepped back at the same time, looking at Li Xuan with a trace of awe in their eyes.

Last night, under Li Xuan's strategizing, the elite [-] black soldiers of Tianyin sect who killed Wuzhou were almost completely wiped out, only a few escaped.

Among them, Qianniuwei contributed the most, and under the charge of the cavalry, few people could directly hit the front.

After that, Wuzhou soldiers who swarmed up while the cavalry rushed to kill, and Kuaiji government soldiers who kept shooting arrows on the city wall.

The black pawns who invaded the city were immediately killed in a dilemma, but there were nearly [-] remnants of the Tianyin Sect outside the city.

With the ferocity and fearlessness of these people, if they really want to die, even if these people under Li Xuan can strangle them, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.

At this moment, Ning Yi personally led a group of Jinhua soldiers and charged directly from the rear, and the black soldiers immediately panicked.

Qianniuwei raised his troops to take advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, and the overall situation was completely settled.

Li Xuan did order Ning Yi to move his camera, but it was only aimed at the chaos at the city gate, that is, the people who attacked tonight.

If they had really seen through Li Xuan's earlier order, they might not have come tonight.

……

"The next step is the compensation." Li Xuan took a light breath and said, "It is inevitable that the general will die in battle. The soldiers who died or were injured today will receive double the compensation. This is made public."

"The next officer obeys the order!" Hu Cao joined the army and Han Jiang stepped forward and bowed his hand to agree.

"Then come the other counties." After a short pause, Li Xuan followed up and said, "Tonight the Tianyin Sect is active in the prefectural capital, and other counties and townships, I am afraid they are also active at the same time. Xu join the army! "

Bing Cao Canjun Xu Jian took a step forward, bowed his hands and said, "Your officer is here."

"From now on, I want you to organize the counties and cities to start recruiting soldiers immediately, and at the same time to calm down the banditry everywhere, prepare to deal with the changes in Muzhou." Li Xuan looked to the southeast, and said softly: "Especially Dongyang, from the battle tonight Stroke, select a team, prepare to leave Dongyang as soon as possible, tonight, there may already be a war there."

At the same moment when the Tianyin sect invaded the state city, Peng Yun, who was in Wuyi, must have led the crowd to the east, and no one knew where he was now.

Maybe they have already arrived at Dongyang City, or maybe they are blocked in the Green Willow Villa.

There is also the Lanxi gold mine, which is also a mess, and the Qian family is not so easy to give up willingly.

That's a whole gold mine!
"What's going on at Dingxingfang?" Li Xuan looked sideways at Du Bixing.

Du Bixing stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to my lord, Dingxing Fang has been trying to let someone rush out of the gate tonight, but the lower official ordered people to carry stones to block the gate, and anyone else who tried to climb over and rush out will be arrested, especially When the Tianyin Sect attacked the city, I don't know how many people rushed wildly, but they were all blocked back, and it wasn't until the sound of fighting on this side died down that the other side gradually became quiet."

Li Xuan pondered for a while, then said: "The door of the workshop is still locked tonight, no one is allowed to enter or leave, and in addition, tell them about the defeat of the Tianyin bandits in attacking the city.

Tomorrow at Chen's hour, a public security notice will be issued to arrest those who stormed the gate of the workshop last night.

Transshipment of tax and grain, dredging of waterways, and construction of grain depots all require manpower, so let's use them to make up for it. "

"My lord is merciful!" All the people present cupped their hands at the same time.

If these people follow the law, they will not only be beheaded, but even their family members will be killed.

Li Xuanfa assigned them to do hard labor, which was equivalent to indirectly saving their lives and the lives of their family members.

Ordinary people may not be able to see it, but these people present can see it clearly.

"The last thing left is Lanxi." Li Xuan turned and looked to the northwest, and said softly, "Although the Tianyin Sect in Wuzhou has launched an attack on the city, the Muzhou side may not be fully prepared yet." , but once they received the news of Wuzhou's defeat, they might immediately raise an incident.

From now on, Wuzhou must strengthen preparations in all aspects, recruit soldiers, and grab summer grain. Everyone needs to be prepared. "

"The next officer obeys the order!" The lustful look on the faces of everyone present disappeared in an instant.

"Meiling Pass is the most important pass for Muzhou to enter Muzhou by land. The Tianyin Sect must have captured it by now, and it must be recaptured." Li Xuan looked at Dushui Sicheng, who was on the side, With stern eyes, he said: "Heng Sicheng, this king ordered you to prepare three large ships immediately. Tomorrow, this king will go to Lanxi."

"I will obey the order!" Dushui Sicheng Henghan immediately stepped forward to agree without any hesitation.

However, he didn't retreat directly, but asked again: "My lord, should Sanhe Pass be closed immediately?"

Sanheguan is the first pass of Wujiang River from Tonglu to Wuzhou and out of the mountain.

But in the middle there is Xin'an River flowing in from Jiande.

The Tianyin Sect will inevitably send troops from Jiande to enter the Wujiang River by boat, and then take down Lanxi and go straight to Wuzhou.

As long as the Sanhe Pass is closed, all ships on the river will no longer be able to pass.

"Do you want to close it immediately?" Li Xuan looked up at everyone present.

"What do you think, my lord?" Zhang Yi couldn't help but walked out.

Li Xuan nodded, and said: "Closing Sanhe Pass and blocking Wujiang River will indeed make it impossible for Tianyin Sect ships to pass through, but we also lost the opportunity to attack Tianyin Sect."

"My lord thinks highly of us. Wuzhou is no better than Hangzhou. There is no navy here. All I can do is to close the checkpoint immediately and wait for the Hangzhou navy to come to help." Xu Jian cupped his hands with a wry smile on his face.

"Yes, Sailor!" Li Xuan nodded lightly, with a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes.

The southeast of Muzhou can reach Wuzhou and Quzhou, and the southeast can reach Hangzhou, but Tianyin Sect has never thought of making a breakthrough from Hangzhou.

Because the road from Muzhou to Hangzhou is farther, there are almost all high mountains in the middle, and only one Wujiang River passes up and down.

Among them, whether it is Tonglu or Fuyang, if Wujiang is blocked anywhere, Tianyin Sect will immediately be in a dilemma.

On the contrary, they need to block the Wujiang River to prevent the Hangzhou navy from taking advantage of the river and attacking Jiande.

"Then close Sanhe Pass, close Sanhe Pass with great fanfare, and all business travelers will change to Dongyang River from now on. After Dongyang is calmed down, all ships will travel from the east." Li Xuan clenched his fist suddenly, with a pensive look on his face at the same time. look.

Seeing Li Xuan's expression, everyone present looked at each other with a trace of doubt in their eyes.

They, the king of Nanchang, remembered what was going on again.

"I don't know when the lord will leave tomorrow, how many troops will the soldiers need to mobilize to accompany him?" Xu Jian stood up again.

Li Xuan frowned, and said: "Let's transfer a team first. Although the state city is temporarily pacified, people need to be guarded internally, especially the granary incident last night. It must not happen again."

"I will obey the order!" Xu Jian cupped his hands to accept the order, but then he said: "My lord, do you need an official to accompany me this time in Lanxi?"

"Oh?" Everyone present suddenly realized that Xu Jian wanted to go to Lanxi with Li Xuan.

After all, it is easiest to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield.

Under the eyes of everyone, Li Xuan shook her head unexpectedly: "Xu Canjun, I need you to sit in the city of the state and recruit and dispatch soldiers. You are the best at these things. Once the army of Muzhou comes, I need you Enough troops to stop them until the troops from Hangzhou and Yuezhou come to help."

At that time, Chen Shuozhen rebelled and captured the city of Muzhou with hundreds of people, and then several cities in succession.

The troops expanded to tens of thousands in a very short period of time. If the army hadn't hit a wall in Shezhou, who knows what scale they would develop into.

The current situation is almost a replica of that year. Tianyin sect left five hundred black soldiers in Muzhou, but Li Xuan believes that with their strength and belief foundation, they can re-expand tens of thousands of people in a very short period of time. number.

At that time, it was the most dangerous situation that Wuzhou had to face.

"What does the lord mean, that you don't need to go to Dongyang?" Xu Jian keenly grasped Li Xuan's subtext, and then asked, "I don't know who will lead the crowd to support?"

At this moment, the other people present were all staring at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan smiled lightly, then smiled mysteriously, and said: "You will soon know who led the crowd to Dongyang. The appearance of this person will definitely surprise you greatly."

When everyone present heard this, they looked at each other in blank dismay.

Zhang Yi raised his eyebrows suddenly, and a figure appeared in his mind immediately.
