My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

Chapter 227 You seem happy

Sanyang County, Lu Mansion.

"Senior brother, your chess skills are superb. I lost." Lu Xuan casually threw the white piece into the chess cup and said with a smile.

"The outcome has not yet been determined. The leader is only slightly at a disadvantage, but it is not a loss." Li Xingzhi shook his head while collecting the chess pieces and said: "I didn't expect that the leader would have such attainments in playing chess. I admire him very much."

"Stop talking about this, inform the commander-in-chief of Longxing County that the people along the river should evacuate inward, and the counties downstream will also have to evacuate. The Guiyi Sect members will be responsible for assisting the army in handling this matter." Lu Xuan knocked on the table and said .

"Is the imperial court going to send troops?" Li Xingzhi immediately understood what Lu Xuan meant when he heard this. Although there was no news from Shenfeng Hall, Lu Xuan had another intelligence agency in his hands.

"Yes." Lu Xuan nodded: "The Mu family did a good job in Yanzhou this time. Yanzhou was captured almost within a few months. Mu Wenyun's methods are much better than mine."

Of course, there is also an issue of identity. Mu Wenyun himself is a member of the Yanzhou gentry. He first persuaded everyone to let the Guiyi Sect come in to preach, so that the Guiyi Sect began to have a popular base, and then he began to liquidate in the name of the Guiyi Sect. , so that these nobles were lucky enough to come to clear the way one by one, but Mu Wenyun remembered it in his heart, and then went to check, and did not attack immediately, but lured them in step by step, and then caught them all. It was reasonable and well-founded, comparable to Lu Xuan's approach is much more convincing.

Lu Xuan's tactics can make people fearful, but it is difficult to win people's hearts. But Mu Wenyun's tactics not only achieved the desired goal, but also established his own popular support. In addition, the Guiyi Sect later divided the land on a large scale and completely controlled it. The hearts of the people in each county.

However, this scholar's ruthlessness is really shocking. Lu Xuan originally said that he could keep 10%, but after the Mu family has sorted it out, the Yanzhou nobles may not even have half a percent left. According to the return According to the internal statistics of the First Sect, in many places, even large households with thousands of hectares of fertile land are gone.

"The things the leader masters are much more attractive than the court." Li Xingzhi said with a smile. The court's use of luck must be sorted out by Confucians before it can be used. However, the luck that has been refined by the mountains and rivers is difficult for monks to resist. Especially for people like Mu Wenyun, whose half body has already been buried, the feeling may be more intuitive than others.

Lu Xuan nodded: "But this time, I'm afraid someone will notice the clues."

Others would just think that the Mu family's abnormal behavior was crazy, but people who knew the existence of the Mountain and River Seal might be able to guess what happened. The Mountain and River Seal has been controlled by the Tao Alliance for all generations, so something must have happened. He did not believe in the founding of the country in the past dynasties. No monarch has discovered the secret of the mountain and river seal. This thing can be detected easily.

Many of the founding kings of the past dynasties came from famous families and knew their luck. Even if the founding kings of Daqian were intercepted in advance, it can't be like this in all dynasties, right?

Li Xingzhi nodded silently. Lu Xuan told him about this. Daqian is not terrible, not to mention that today's Daqian is actually in a state of division. It is difficult to gather all the strength to deal with the Guiyi Sect like it was seven years ago, but Dao The threat to the alliance is great.

The unknown is the scariest thing, and they know too little about the Dao Alliance.

"Why are you looking for me?" Just as the two were speechless, Zhang Yuanrou and Bao'er came side by side and looked at the two sitting opposite each other and asked.

"The imperial court is about to attack. I have something to ask of Senior Sister." Lu Xuan said with a smile.

"I'm very busy. Your flying boat has some features now, but it's not perfect yet. I always feel that there are some shortcomings." Zhang Yuanrou said a little irritably: "If you have anything to say, please tell me."

"I'm going to launch a water attack and use the power of the Yunhe River to destroy the imperial army. It's the middle of winter now. I need senior sister to build a dam upstream so that the imperial scouts can't detect it." Lu Xuan said with a smile.

It is not difficult to build a dam to store water, but the difficult part is how to prevent the imperial army from detecting it. This involves the blind spots of knowledge of vulgar warriors like Lu Xuan, and they must be covered by formations.

"How far do you want to go?" Zhang Yuanrou thought for a while and asked.

"It's best if the cave warriors won't notice it." Lu Xuan said with a smile.

"It's not a big problem to cover the dam, but it's impossible to cover it when the water level drops." Zhang Yuanrou frowned.

At least she, a Taoist priest in the Nascent Soul stage who is proficient in formations, weapon refining, and elixir refining, does not have this ability.

"It's the middle of winter now. As long as we do it before the river thaws, everyone will just think that the water level is like this this year. Without careful inspection, it will be difficult to detect." Lu Xuan looked at Zhang Yuanrou and said with a smile.

"Okay, leave this matter to me. I will take my disciples to survey and give you the results tomorrow." After saying that, Zhang Yuanrou looked at Bao'er and said, "Bao'er, do you want to experience the newly made flying boat together? one time?"

"Okay!" Bao'er blinked and nodded.

"Didn't you say there wasn't any?" Li Xingzhi was stunned.

"It's not suitable for mass production. There are still finished products." Zhang Yuanrou explained in a hasty manner and left with Bao'er in a hurry.

"It seems that the leader of the imperial army has a countermeasure." Li Xingzhi looked at Lu Xuan and said with a smile.

"The ordinary army will be over in a flash. As for the opponent's experts, I am going to send Mu Feixue. I, Yang Ao and the second senior brother will go all out to deal with the border troops." Lu Xuan nodded.

"Is Mu Feixue just pushing too hard?" Li Xingzhi frowned.

"That's enough. I have a way to deal with it from the court." Lu Xuan said with a smile.

Li Xingzhi didn't ask any more questions after hearing this. Since Lu Xuan had already made arrangements, he must have sent Mu Feixue alone to make sure that Tiandu was safe. However, he was still a little curious about what Lu Xuan's back-up plan was.

"Okay, I'll leave it to my senior brother to worry about the evacuation of the people."

"Yes, I am resigning." In the following days, Lu Xuan's side was still dominated by Yanzhou. In the past seven years, a large number of talents that Lu Xuan had reserved began to rush to various places in Yanzhou, either to establish branch missions or to directly take over city.

People around him obviously felt that Lu Xuan seemed to be in a particularly good mood these days.

Not just here, but also here in Tiandu.

"General, you seem to be in a particularly good mood recently." Niu Ba, who came here with Little Gray Skin from Southern Xinjiang to have a meal, looked at Lu Xuan curiously: "Did something good happen?"

"Is there any?" Lu Xuan smiled.

"Yes, is there?" Gu Hui looked at Lu Xuan's face blankly, feeling that it was no different from usual. She turned to look at Niu Ba: "How could you tell?"

"Do you still need to watch this? In the past, when you brought us here to have a meal, did the general have a good face?" Niu Ba said speechlessly.

"Yes, you are so smart!" Gu Hui suddenly looked at Niu Ba with some surprise.

Niu Ba: "..."

Suddenly it felt like a curse.

"General, everyone in the court is preparing to attack the Guiyi Sect. Who do you think will be in charge this time?" Zhou Tong suppressed a smile and changed the subject.

"You still need to ask? Of course the general is in command." Niu Ba said with a smile. Lu Xuan has not sent out troops since he was promoted to the general of the gangsters. Besides, Lu Xuan is a fifth-grade master. No matter how he is arranged, Tiandu will be like this this time. Lu Xuan should be in command on both sides.

"It doesn't matter who is in command, what matters is how to get the benefits." Lu Xuan noticed Xie Kui coming over with a drink and said with a smile: "If we fight together, we will get thousands of taels of gold. It is rare that officials from all sides are willing to support this war. The benefits must be If you get enough, it doesn’t matter who is in charge.”

"Why is it not important anymore? Taking Yunzhou is a great achievement. If the general can get this credit, it is not too much to be promoted to the second rank, right?" Zhou Tong disagreed.

"You guys, your eye sockets are still too shallow." Lu Xuan pointed at the table and said, "Do you think it's so easy to get to the second level? Even if you get up, it's probably a false position. Maybe some military power will have to be reduced, but with The benefits you get are real. Whether you use them for practice or for other things, they belong to you. How many times do you want me to teach you how to make peace with everything?"

"General, you just value money too much." Gu Hui from the side interrupted.

Lu Xuan gave her a strange look.

Gu Hui felt something was wrong and pointed at Zhou Tong beside him: "He told me that."

"You..." Zhou Tong looked at Xiao Huipi from Southern Xinjiang in shock, who betrayed him without hesitation, and said quickly: "General, I misunderstood, you know me, how can I dare to arrange the general in private?"

"Okay." Lu Xuan waved his hand and said: "If you have money, let's get the meat of two monster beasts to eat first. I heard that there is a monster beast in the Hengduan Mountains. It looks like a sheep and has a sound like thunder. It likes to swallow gold and can be eaten. It increases strength and tastes absolutely delicious.”

The anxiety on Xiao Huipi's face in Southern Xinjiang instantly turned into excitement: "What kind of monster is this? I grew up in Southern Xinjiang, but I have never heard of it."

"I don't know. I heard someone say it in Chunyinong a few days ago." Lu Xuan shook his head: "Is that why you want to eat it?"

"General, let's get money quickly! Do you want to beat someone? I'll help you!" The little gray skin from Southern Xinjiang instantly forgot everything that happened before.

"Don't worry, getting benefits and beating people are two different things." Lu Xuan took the wine bottle from Xie Kui, shook his head and said, "This matter needs to be settled first."

"Then hurry up and make an order."

"How can it be so fast?" Niu Ba complained, this little gray skin can do anything to stutter.

"We have to wait until the spring begins, so don't slack off. Now Gu Hui can beat you all by herself, and I'm not ashamed of myself." Lu Xuan glanced at Niu Ba and said.

"She is a sacred beast in our army, different from humans!" Niu Ba glanced at Xiao Huipi. The Pixiu flag was specially made for her, but the animal head on it was made in the shape of Gu Hui. No one dared to take it. come out.

"What mythical beast?" Gu Hui looked at everyone blankly.

"Nothing, you look really good today!"

In the following days, the imperial court was actively preparing for war. Yunzhou seemed to be aware of the imperial court's movements and began to relocate the people in the Longxing area and mobilize troops to the Longxing area.

In this regard, the civil and military officials of the DPRK and China just looked down upon them. They were mere thieves. So what if they could see the court's intentions? The border army and Tiandu sent troops at the same time. Not to mention the number of experts, the soldiers and horses alone could absolutely crush the Guiyi Sect rebels. They even tried to resist. It was really ridiculous.
