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

Chapter 611 Xue Wei's story, a losing streak

Chapter 611 Xue Wei's story, a losing streak

Hangzhou, where the Navy is stationed.

At that time, the Hangzhou Bay in the distance was still shrouded in darkness.

In the nearby naval garrison, the lights were already brightly lit.

On the school yard on the east side, the sailors are already preparing to deliver the last supplies to the ship.
In the other courtyard on the west side, the Jinwu guards guarded heavily, and the Qianniu guards kept going back and forth quickly, sending messages to Li Xuan one by one.

Sitting in the lobby, Li Xuan put down the last note in his hand, looked up at Lai Sui, and said softly: "Hangzhou City has thirteen water and land gates, five water gates, and eight land gates. The number of personnel added and changed, especially the southeast water gate, southeast land gate and southwest water gate, and tonight, these young people who have just arrived will be on duty."

"It seems that Zhoushan pirates and Tianyin bandits will strike at these three city gates tonight." Lai Sui clenched his fists tightly.

He didn't expect that someone really wanted to join forces with the Zhoushan pirates to try to take Hangzhou City.

You know, his uncle Lai Jingye had just arrived in Hangzhou City, when such a big event happened.

If one is not handled well, there will be chaos in Hangzhou, and Lai Jingye will immediately bear heavy responsibilities.

"Be careful, this crisis cannot be ignored." Li Xuan shook her head slightly, and said softly: "According to reports, several shops in these three city gates have been sold and traded in the past six months, and several of them were closed last night. At night, there are people inside who are constantly peeping outside."

"Good thief, they really want to take down Hangzhou City." Lai Sui gritted his teeth.

If there are enough manpower and weapons in these shops, plus the internal response of the city gate and the gates outside the city, if there is no preparation, even the gods will not be able to defend the city.

How sinister are these people's intentions.

Li Xuan handed the short lottery to Lai Sui, and said softly: "The time is too short, and there are too few things that can be found out, but if Xuan's guess is correct, they should have other arrangements, but That should be the only escape route in case the siege fails, and only when it is blocked can we catch them all in one go, and all of these will be handed over to Brother Lai."

"Thank you so much, brother!" Lai Sui bowed his hands solemnly to Li Xuan, and the anger in his heart gradually calmed down.
Now all this is indeed very dangerous, but if it is arranged properly, it is not a great achievement.

"Brother Yu will rush back as soon as possible and launch a surprise attack from behind the Zhoushan pirates, but brother, please remember that Dongcheng must be defended, otherwise, the situation will be difficult to control." Li Xuan finally told each other seriously.

Whether Hangzhou City can be defended until Li Xuan leads the navy to return to aid, the key lies in the East City Gate, whether they can defend it or not.

"Brother Yu understands how powerful it is, don't worry, Brother Yu." Lai Sui took a deep breath, stood up and bowed to Li Xuan: "In the end, if everything comes true, Brother Yu will definitely thank you very much."

"You and my brother don't have to be so polite." Li Xuan waved his hands with a smile, stood up at the same time, and said, "So, little brother, let's say goodbye for now, we will meet again tonight."

"Please, dear brother!" Lai Sui sent Li Xuan to the gate of the courtyard, and then stopped.

The sky in the east is already bright, and dozens of warships are docked on the Hangzhou Navy Wharf, which is far and wide.

Li Xuan glanced at the warship, then cupped his hands towards Lai and said, "Brother Lai, please be careful, the real danger now is the inner responders in the city. The position in the mansion must not be low."

"Brother Yu made a note of it." Lai Sui cupped his hands deeply again, and said, "My dear brother, be careful all the way."

"Brother, be careful." After finishing speaking, Li Xuan turned around, took many of his men, and boarded the four-masted warship specially prepared for him by the navy.

Not long after, dozens of large ships set off at the same time, heading east quickly.

In the mighty boat, in the eastern sky, the sun slowly rose.

……

On the nameless hills of Xiaoshan, in the dense forest, Wen Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched dozens of warships sailing out of the port.

"Today, there are less than ten dilapidated old ships and some broken generals left in the entire Hangzhou Navy." A smug grin appeared on the corner of Wen Xu's mouth.

It was only when the Hangzhou navy completely disappeared from his sight that his expression became completely solemn.

Turning around, Wen Xu ran quickly towards the rolling hills.

In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen black-clothed guards rushed out of the seemingly deserted hill, and together they guarded Wen Xu as he headed deep into the hill.

Wen Xu and the others didn't know how long they had traveled, and finally came to a deserted valley.

At this moment, nearly [-] black-clothed soldiers were sitting on the ground, having their breakfast with dry food and spring water on one side.

These black-clothed soldiers all looked indifferent. Although they were eating breakfast, they always had their long knives at hand.

Wen Xu quickly walked into the crowd, and many soldiers bowed slightly to him, making way for him,

Deep in the valley, a small cave finally appeared in front of Wen Xu.

Wen Xu stepped into the cave, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

Although the entrance of the cave is small, the inside of the cave is wide open.

This is an underground cave that can accommodate thousands of people.

Wen Xu went all the way to the depths of the cave, and a secret room that was deliberately dug out quietly appeared.

Wen Xu stopped, looked sideways at the entourage behind him, and said, "Let the three school captains come over. In addition, inform the outer guard posts that today, anyone who enters the three miles nearby will be killed regardless of their origin."

"Follow the order." The subordinates immediately turned around and left.

Wen Xu walked into the cave alone, and there was a map hanging high on the wall, the map of Hangzhou City.

I saw three thick lines running straight into the city of Hangzhou from east, west and south, and the places where the three thick lines passed were the three city gates that Li Xuan had always named before.

Li Xuan's attack on Wen Xu and the gang of black pawns was not even the slightest bit wrong.

However, in addition to these three thick lines, there is also a thin line that goes straight from the south city to the north city.

At the same time, on this thin line, there is an additional place marked, and this place is the Governor's Mansion in Hangzhou.

The real target of Wen Xu's attack on Hangzhou this time turned out to be the Governor's Mansion.

……

Outside Hangzhou Bay, the waves gradually became larger.

The westerly wind was cold, and the boat gradually became bumpy.

On the warship where Li Xuan was, Qianniuwei and Jinwuwei inner guards guarded it.

In the cabin, the map of Hangzhou City is hung high on the bulkhead of the cabin.

Li Xuan stood in front of the map, carefully studying the map.

After a long time, Li Xuan slowly turned around and looked to the side of the table, in front of him was Yu Ze with three official files.

These three official files are the former Secretary Lang, the current Hangzhou law Cao Xue Zhongzhang, the current Hangzhou recorder Guan Mi who joined the army, and Xiaoshan County Wei Wenxu. These three people have been very close these few days.

"Uncle Yu thinks, which of these three people is the king of the East China Sea?" Li Xuan's voice sounded behind Yu Ze.

Yu Ze turned his head subconsciously, then took a deep breath, and said, "It's possible that all three are, maybe even all three are the King of the East China Sea?"

"Oh?" Li Xuan suddenly felt a little funny. Among the three, only Wen Xu is the king of the East China Sea. How could Yu Ze think that all three of them are.

"First of all, this Lieutenant Wen has been in Hangzhou for the longest time. Since he was transferred to Xiaoshan three years ago, he has actively fought against the bullies of the rich and powerful families in the territory and supported the common people. , I didn’t notice it at all, which is somewhat bizarre.”

Yu Ze paused for a moment, and said with a sneer: "If he is a member of the Tianyin Sect, then the officers and soldiers have searched before and failed to find the reason why the Tianyin Sect can be found."

"Yes, this may be the biggest." Li Xuan nodded in agreement, Yu Ze's analysis was good, because this is indeed the truth.

Yu Ze then dug out the files of Guan Mi, the Hangzhou recorder who joined the army, and said with a slightly worried face: "If the most likely to be Captain Xiaoshan, who is a member of the Tianyin Cult, then the most threatening to Hangzhou is this He joined the army as a recorder in the Hangzhou government, and he knows too much about Hangzhou's reality."

Li Xuan's hand couldn't help but pause slightly, and looked at Yu Ze with a face full of surprise.

Then he looked again at the file of Guan Mi, the recorder who joined the army, and suddenly saw that there were various records written in the official road.

He has recorded all the merits and demerits of almost all officials in Hangzhou Mansion, and many of them have reported to the Ministry of Officials.

In other words, Guan Mi knew all the officials in Hangzhou Mansion, and knew their personal preferences and habits.

Guan Mi is definitely an extremely qualified recorder to join the army. At the same time, once he is used by the King of the East China Sea, the damage he can cause is absolutely terrible.

Yu Ze said softly: "If I were the king of the East China Sea and wanted to take action against the Southeast family, then the first thing I would know would be Guan Canjun."

Li Xuan nodded earnestly and didn't speak, but he knew that what Yu Ze said was correct. If he wanted to attack the Hangzhou Mansion, it would be best if he really controlled the recorder and enlisted in the army. is a good tip.

"The third is this Secretary Xue." Yu Ze said softly: "This Secretary Xue came from Chang'an after all, and we all know that the King of Donghai is now in Chang'an; , the relationship between Mrs. Xue and Prince Yin is not weak."

With Yu Ze's words, Li Xuan couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

Yu Ze followed up and said, "However, it is Secretary Xue's mother, Wei Shi, who really makes my subordinates care."

"The marriage between the Xue family and the Wei family is not a big deal?" Li Xuan was a little puzzled.

Yu Ze smiled wryly, and said, "Your Majesty, please read, it says here that his mother was from Jingzhao Webster, and his father was Wei Jiqing."

"How about Wei Jiqing?" Li Xuan's face became solemn. Although he didn't know much about the past in Chang'an, he also knew that no simple person could make Yu Ze remember his name.

"Because this Wei Miaocheng is only the ninth-rank Jingzhao Taimiaocheng, but his father is the son of Wei Ting, the governor of Xiangzhou in the previous emperor's dynasty. That is to say, this Xue Canjun, he is Wei Ting. A great great-grandson." Yu Ze smiled wryly at Li Xuan and cupped his hands.

"Wei Ting?" Li Xuan had some impression of this name for some reason. After thinking for a while, she said with horror on her face, "It's Wei Ting led by Prince Yin Zuowei Huqi and the inspector Prince Zuowei. Shi's father?"

Li You, the fifth son of Emperor Taizong, his mother Yin and his wife Wei, rebelled and died in the 17th year of Zhenguan.

Wei Ting was the youngest son of Prince Li Jiancheng. Because of Yang Wengan's treason case, he took the responsibility of Li Jiancheng and was exiled to Zhouzhou.

After the Xuanwumen Incident, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin ascended the throne, Wei Ting was recalled to serve in the imperial court, and then he was promoted all the way to worship the royal doctor, the doctor Yinqing Guanglu, the servant of the Huangmen, and the official of Wei Wang Litai.

His daughter even married Qi Wang Li You as his concubine, but Qi Wang conspired against him, Wei Wang failed to seize the heir, Wei Ting was implicated, and was demoted to the governor of Xiangzhou and served as a death.

……

"It's no wonder that his aunt, the daughter of the Xue family, married the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Even if she married later, she should not be so unknown anyway. But if her family and Wei Ting were in-laws, it would not be so simple. No wonder the relationship between Xue Zhongzhang and Pei Yan , has been unknown, so it is.”

The hidden prince Li Jiancheng, the Wei king Li Tai, and the Qi king Li You are another unlucky family.

Li Xuan's eyes flickered suddenly, not knowing what he was planning.
