Chapter 399: Conquest, enemies both inside and outside

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

Wang Fanglin raised a glass of rice wine and toasted Li Xuan: "Everything happened last night, thanks to my good nephew who knew the enemy's plan first, he was able to defeat the rebels so easily."

Li Xuan quickly raised her glass and said in a deep voice: "Thanks to Uncle Shi's cooperation, otherwise it really wouldn't be that easy."

It seems that the Tianyin Sect only came with 700 black soldiers, but if those people are patient enough and have a general who is proficient in attacking the city, plus the city comes forward to respond internally, then no matter how resourceful Li Xuan is, I am afraid that

There is no way to escape the fall of Zhoucheng.

This is not an empty talk. As long as Li Xuan is replaced as the attacker, he will definitely have enough methods to easily make the entire city uneasy day and night, and then capture the entire city in one fell swoop.

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

Wang Fanglin shook his head and said in confusion: "Benzhou has never understood why they insist on taking over the city even though they have already suffered a heavy setback. If they continue to operate in Lanxi and then bring in the Muzhou army,

, then even if we can organize some resistance, I'm afraid the chance of winning will not exceed 30%."

The Tianyin Sect has been planning in Muzhou for who knows how many years, and can easily organize an army of tens of thousands.

This speed is much faster than twenty years ago.

Even if Wuzhou was able to receive the news of Muzhou's revolt as soon as possible, the Tianyin Sect's tens of thousands of troops pressed on the border.

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

By then, with tens of thousands of troops outside and spies inside, it would not be that difficult to conquer Wuzhou in a single battle.

Li Xuan put down the wine glass, looked to the northwest, and said softly: "One is a lesson learned from the past. Cui Governor led the Wuzhou army and people to block them at the foot of Wuzhou City, making them afraid of repeating the same mistake.

The second is that they are riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off. Before, their layout in the state and city was almost perfect. After a sudden setback, they were eager to regain the situation.

Thirdly, I'm afraid someone is urging me from behind, and there may be some news that we don't know."

With eyes flickering, Li Xuan suppressed the matter of the queen's death.

Wang Fanglin put down his wine glass, looked at Li Xuan, and said: "No matter what, this time, my nephew, we must keep Muzhou's soldiers out of Wuzhou, and we must not let them disturb Wuzhou, otherwise they will be

If everyone deliberately takes advantage of the situation to cause chaos, it will be even more troublesome."

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

Who knows when they will do the unimaginable.

When their interests were threatened, let alone assassinating a single Wang Fanglin, they would not care even if Li Xuan, thousands of soldiers on the front line, and the entire Wuzhou were sent into despair.

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 and take charge.

He couldn't trust the Qian family.

I can't trust the others either.

There are many things they can do. For example, through various means, when Wuzhou is in danger, they can find ways to send a new governor to Wuzhou. By then, Li Xuan will not be as able to do things as he is now.

.

And Li Xuan was sure that they would seize the opportunity to take action. After all, Li Xuan knew too many of their secrets.

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

…

"Then, the transportation of soldiers, ordnance, and grain and grass in the back will all depend on Uncle Shi." Li Xuan solemnly bowed his hands in salute, and then he said: "Uncle Shi, would you like my nephew to leave two Qianniu Guards to shock people's hearts?

.”

"Forget it, if they really want to do something, one or two Qianniu Guards can't deter them. The better you fight on the front line, the less they will dare to move." After a pause, Wang Fanglin continued.

: "You don't have to worry about things in the rear. As long as nothing big happens on the front, they won't dare to mess around in the rear."

"The front line." Li Xuan frowned, and then said: "The Tianyin Sect has been preparing for many years. Once an uprising occurs, I am afraid that the army will arrive at Meiling Pass within three to five days. With my nephew's ability, I will delay the arrival for three to five days.

No problem, but if the imperial reinforcements haven’t arrived within three to five days..."

"They need to find the elite black pawns hiding in various places before they take action. No one wants to go out and have their lair raided later." Wang Fanglin shook his head.

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

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

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

If all of this was lost, he would still be pragmatic.

"It depends on my nephew himself. All Shishu can do is provide you with whatever you need. Also, you need to calculate some accounts carefully." Wang Fanglin's eyes showed a hint of coldness.

Li Xuan knew what he meant. Although all the main players in the original assassination case had been dug out, the people who really promoted it from the beginning have never been punished.

Although Qian used trickery to make it impossible to obtain evidence to pursue them, they forgot that some people do things without any evidence at all.

It's totally from the heart.

It is really not easy for the governor of a state to target a family at all costs.

"Uncle Shi, these people can hammer and hammer, but the matter of checking the fields must be put aside for a while." Li Xuan looked at Wang Fanglin and advised in a deep voice: "Wuzhou at this time should be quiet and should not be moved.

ah!"

"Don't worry, nephew, uncle Shi understands the importance." Wang Fanglin laughed, and then said: "It's just to scare people. Some cows and horses must have a whip to ring above their heads from time to time."

"That's good. Everything will wait until the Tianyin Sect is completely pacified, and those who need to settle accounts will naturally settle accounts in the future. However, each major family also needs to be treated differently." Li Xuan had a trace of worry in her 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. Instead, it will be the Qian family..."

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

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

Li Xuan sat there calmly and did not continue talking.

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

"The details of this matter still need to be reported to the central government, but in Honshu, we can change it a bit and talk about missing during the battle." After a slight pause, Li Xuan said seriously: "Uncle Shi, it is not appropriate to make people excited at this moment.

.”

What Wuzhou City needs most now is peace. If it is revealed at this time that Fa Cao joined the army and Zheng Zheng was an internal agent of the Tianyin Sect, it will definitely make people's hearts shake. When the time comes, it will inevitably delay the military needs of the front line.

"That's it." Wang Fanglin nodded, and then said: "As for Lanxi County, there are more than 3,500 households in Lanxi, more than 10,000 people. My nephew needs to be careful, the Lanxi County Magistrate..."

Li Xuan and Wang Fanglin talked a lot in the state government office for a long time.

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

Six hundred miles, step up.

The memorial signed by the governor of Wuzhou and Biejia of Wuzhou was sent to the Yuezhou Governor's Office, the Governor's Office of Hangzhou and the sacred capital Luoyang at the same time.

People throughout Wuzhou were talking a lot, and they were all wondering what the governor Wang and the king of Nanchang had written in the memorial.

…

"You can rest assured that I will keep everything in mind, and I will live up to your expectations."

Li Xuan stood on the pier and saluted Wang Fanglin heavily.

Behind him is the vast Wujiang River and three large ships.

Li Xuan looked at Wang Fanglin, her face full of apologies.

This trip brought Wang Fanglin down from Chisong Temple, and Li Xuan felt a little sorry for him.

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

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

Li Xuan clearly saw all the secret interactions between the Qian family and Zhang Yi, who was a military official.

To be honest, he was really worried about Zhang Yilai taking charge of Wuzhou.

If the Qian family does something here, Li Xuan will be skinned even if she doesn't die.

So he needs someone who can divert the Qian family's attention.

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

"Your Majesty, it is natural for you to do things appropriately, but if you need anything, please send us a letter in time, and our state will soon send everything you need to Lanxi." Wang Fanglin said very confidently.

"Then please leave it to your Majesty." Li Xuan smiled relaxedly, and then said as if joking: "It only takes half a day anyway. At worst, I will come back to get it in person."

Everyone present could not help but shudder when they heard this.

The governor, Wang Fanglin, is just doing some work on checking the fields. Now the whole Wuzhou is actively preparing for the war ahead. Who has time to cooperate with you to check what fields?

But if you really delay things on the front line, they, the King of Nanchang, will have 10,000 ways to make life and death impossible for you.
