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

Chapter 399 Expeditions and battles, both internal and external enemies

Under the waning moon, the backyard of the state government office.

Wang Fanglin held up a glass of rice wine and offered a toast to Li Xuan: "Everything happened last night, thanks to my nephew, who was able to deal with the traitor so easily."

Li Xuan hurriedly toasted, and said in a deep voice, "Thanks to Uncle Shi's cooperation, otherwise it would not have been so easy."

Although the Tianyin Sect only came with seven hundred black soldiers, if those people are patient enough, and they have a general who is proficient in attacking the city, plus the internal support in the city, then no matter how resourceful Li Xuan is, I'm afraid It is also difficult to escape the end of the fall of the state city.

This is not empty talk, as long as Li Xuan is replaced by the besieger, he definitely has enough means to easily make the whole city turbulent day and night, and then take down the whole city in one fell swoop.

But having said that, there are only a few people in Wuzhou who are proficient in various military strategies and understand people's hearts like Li Xuan.

Wang Fanglin shook his head and said puzzledly: "This state has never been able to figure it out. They have suffered a serious setback, but why do they insist on taking down the state city? If they continue to operate in Lanxi, and then lead the Muzhou army into the country , so even if we can organize some resistance, I am afraid the chance of winning is not more than [-]%."

The Tianyin sect has been planning in Muzhou for many years, and they can easily organize an army of tens of thousands.

This is much faster than 20 years ago.

Even though Wuzhou was able to receive the news of Muzhou's rebellion in the first place, the tens of thousands of troops from the Tianyin Sect overwhelmed the border.

I am afraid that within a few days, they will be forced to the city of Wuzhou.

At that time, there will be tens of thousands of troops outside, and spies inside, and it will not be that difficult to go to Wuzhou in the first battle.

Li Xuan put down her wine glass, looked to the northwest, and said softly: "One is the lesson from the past, Cui Inspector Cui led the army and people of Wuzhou, and blocked them under the city of Wuzhou, making them afraid of repeating the same mistakes.

The second is riding a tiger. They had a nearly perfect layout in the city before, but after a sudden setback, they were eager to regain the situation.

Thirdly, I'm afraid there are people who are constantly urging me behind, and there may be some news that we don't know about. "

With his eyes flickering, Li Xuan suppressed the matter of the future deadline.

Wang Fanglin put down his wine glass, looked at Li Xuan, and said, "No matter what, this time, nephew, you must keep the soldiers of Muzhou out of Wuzhou, and you must not let them disturb Wuzhou, otherwise you will be killed." It will be even more troublesome if everyone with a heart takes advantage of the situation to create chaos."

In Wang Fanglin's eyes, it is true that Tianyin Sect is their biggest enemy, but the Wuzhou aristocratic family who have been watching in secret must also be vigilant.

Who knows when they will do the unimaginable.

When their interests were threatened, let alone assassinating Wang Fanglin, even sending Li Xuan, thousands of soldiers on the front line, and even the entire Wuzhou into a desperate situation, they didn't care.

This is the nature of those aristocratic families.

History is endless.

This is also the fundamental reason why Li Xuan asked Wang Fanglin to come back to sit in charge.

He can't trust the Qian family.

Can't trust the others either.

There are many things they can do, for example, through various means, when Wuzhou is in danger, find a way to send a new governor to Wuzhou. At that time, Li Xuan wants to do things, but he will not be as handy as now .

And Li Xuan was sure that they would seize the opportunity to do it, after all Li Xuan knew too many of their secrets.

And Wang Fanglin was also injured and rested for too long.

……

"Then, the transfer of soldiers, armaments, food and grass in the future will all depend on Uncle Shi." Li Xuan solemnly bowed his hands and saluted, and then he said: "Uncle Shi, do you want my nephew to leave two Qianniu guards to shock people's hearts?" .”

"Forget it, if they really want to do something, one or two Qianniuwei will not be able to deter them. The better you fight at the front line, the less they dare to move." After a short pause, Wang Fanglin continued. : "You don't need to worry about things in the rear, as long as there are no major incidents in the front, they will not dare to mess around in the rear."

"Frontline." Li Xuan frowned, and then said: "The Tianyin Sect has been preparing for many years. Once there is an incident, I am afraid that within three to five days, the army will come to Meiling Pass. There is no problem, but if the imperial reinforcements have not arrived within three to five days..."

"They need to find out the elite black pawns lurking everywhere before they can act. No one wants to go out, and then their lair will be taken away." Wang Fanglin shook his head.

This time, the Tianyin sect scattered more than a thousand black soldiers all over the place. Although they bound their own hands and feet, they also tied the hands and feet of the imperial army. This is the real troublesome thing.

"We must find a way, otherwise, even if my nephew can survive on the front line, in the end, the soldiers under him will suffer heavy losses." Li Xuan's face suddenly became serious.

When he came to Wuzhou, in addition to recruiting manpower and laying a solid foundation, he also hoped to use the war to train his soldiers to fight back.

If all of this is lost, he still has a solid foundation.

"It depends on the nephew himself. What Uncle Shi can do is to provide what you need, and there are some accounts that need to be settled carefully." Wang Fanglin's eyes revealed a trace of coldness.

Li Xuan knew what he meant. Although the main force of the assassination case had been dug out, the people who really promoted it from the beginning were never punished.

Although Qian used tricks to make people unable to grasp the evidence to pursue them, they forgot that some people do things without evidence at all.

It's all from the heart.

It really shouldn't be too easy for the governor of a state to target a family desperately.

"Uncle Shi, these people can beat and beat, but the matter of checking the fields must be put aside." Li Xuan looked at Wang Fanglin, and persuaded in a deep voice: "At this time in Wuzhou, it is better to be quiet and not to move. ah!"

"Nephew, don't worry, Uncle Shi understands the importance." Wang Fanglin laughed, and then said: "It's just used to scare people. Some cows and horses must have a whip that rings above their heads from time to time."

"That's good, everything waits until the Tianyin Sect is completely pacified, and those who should settle accounts after autumn will naturally settle accounts after autumn, but the major families also need to be treated differently." There was a trace of worry in Li Xuan's eyes.

"The Shen family, the Yang family and the Teng family." Wang Fanglin nodded and said, "This time, as long as they are willing to cooperate, this state will not easily blame them, but the Qian family..."

"Real evidence, Uncle Shi, if you want to target a family head-on, you still need real evidence." Li Xuan carefully reminded Wang Fanglin.

Wang Fanglin shook his head and sighed: "With Qian Zhe's method, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to reveal his flaws."

Li Xuan sat there calmly and did not continue to speak.

"Okay, let's talk about something else." Wang Fanglin looked at Li Xuan and said softly, "About Facao He Zheng."

"The details of this matter need to be closely reported to the central government, but in this state, we can turn around and talk about disappearing during the battle." After a slight pause, Li Xuan said seriously: "Uncle Shi, it is not appropriate to make people feel excited at this moment. .”

What the city of Wuzhou needs most now is tranquility. If it is revealed at this time that Facao joined the army and He Zheng was a member of the Tianyin Sect, it will definitely cause turmoil in the hearts of the people. At that time, it will inevitably delay the military needs of the front line.

"That's how it is." Wang Fanglin nodded, and then said: "About Lanxi County, there are more than 500 households in Lanxi, and more than 1 people. My nephew needs to be careful, and the county magistrate of Lanxi..."

Li Xuan and Wang Fanglin talked a lot in the state office, and it took a long time.

Just before noon, a group of fast horses drove out from the state office, and then quickly headed towards Hangzhou from Yiwu and Dongyang.

Six hundred miles to step up.

The report signed by Wuzhou Inspector and Wuzhou Biejia was sent to Yuezhou Governor's Mansion, Hangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and Shendu Luoyang at the same time.

People in Wuzhou were discussing a lot, wondering what Wang Cishi and Nanchang Wang wrote in the memorial.

……

"Please rest assured, the next official will keep everything in mind, and will definitely live up to the expectations of the envoy."

Li Xuan stood on the pier and bowed heavily to Wang Fanglin.

Behind him is the vast Wujiang River, and there are three big ships,
Li Xuan looked at Wang Fanglin with apologetic expression on his face.

This trip pulled Wang Fanglin from the Chisong Temple, and Li Xuan somewhat felt sorry for him.

Although Wang Fanglin's body has improved a lot after his treatment, in fact, he is still far from a complete recovery.

If you don't pay attention, it is very likely to relapse, but at this time, Li Xuan has no good way.

Li Xuan could clearly see all the secret contacts between the Qian family and Zhang Yi, who joined the army.

To be honest, he was really worried that Zhang Yi came to govern Wuzhou.

If the Qian family made a move here, even if Li Xuan did not die, she would still be skinned.

So he needed someone to hold the attention of the Qian family.

Wang Fanglin, who has been actively promoting the policy of checking the acres of land, is naturally the best candidate.

"It's natural for the prince to do things properly, but if you need anything, please send a letter in time, and Benzhou will send everything you need to Lanxi soon." Wang Fanglin said very confidently.

"Then please envoy." Li Xuan smiled relaxedly, and then said jokingly: "Anyway, it will only take half a day, at worst, the king will come back to pick it up in person."

All the people present couldn't help but tremble at the same time when they heard this.

Inspector Wang Fanglin was just doing some fuss about checking the fields. Now the whole Wuzhou is actively preparing for the battle ahead. Who has the time to cooperate with you to check the fields.

But if things on the front line are really delayed, they, the king of Nanchang, have ten thousand ways to make your life impossible.

All the people present subconsciously cupped their hands: "Never delay the needs of the front line. May the prince's trip have a smooth future and a successful start."

"That's it, everyone, this king will be one step ahead, maybe you and I will have a chance to meet on the front line." Li Xuan cupped his hands, and then directly boarded the boat under the watchful eyes of everyone.

On the huge official ship, Qiu Zhenmu, Wang Bo, Feng Hua, and Wang Qin all bowed their hands together: "My lord!"

"Everyone, on this trip, we will have to weather the storm together." Li Xuan cupped his hands and bowed in return.

"Don't dare!"

Li Xuan stood up and looked around. The other two huge Dushui ships were carrying [-] soldiers, as well as a large number of crossbows, ordnance, shields and battle armor. Li Xuan went to the cave with Li Xuan.

Turning around, Li Xuan looked at the pier.

Inspector Wang Fanglin, Sima Qinming, recorder Zhang Yi, Hu Cao joined the army Han Jiang, Kucao joined the army Li Yuanyi, inspected the law Cao joined the army Du Bixing, inspected the school Cao joined the army Xu Jian, Wuzhou Shen Jia Shen Tuo, Yang Jia Yang Yan, Teng Yu from the Teng family, and Qian Zhe from the Qian family.

All the state officials and the heads of the family in Wuzhou came to see him off.

Li Xuan stood at the bow of the boat and bowed to everyone.

How well he can fight on the front line depends on how much support these people behind him can bring him under the intrigue.

Conversely, how much support these people behind can give him depends on how well he fights on the front line.

This first level is Lanxi.

Lanxi County, which was infiltrated by Tianyin Sect very early.

　After reading novels and TV dramas for so many years, I found that when many generals go out to fight, they only think about how cruel the external enemies are, but they never think about it. There are also many people behind you who don’t want to see you Success, even at the expense of the entire army.

　　Many people have died from this.

　　Therefore, it is necessary to have the preparation and awareness of conquest and combat, both internal and external enemies.
