Chapter 402 Wujiang turns around, tens of thousands can be buried

On the bank of Wujiang River, a fast horse galloped from the north.

A knight in red clothes and golden armor rushed directly into Lingdong Yanxi Villa in front of everyone.

…

In the early morning, Li Xuan and Wang Bo sat at the stone table, having breakfast and reading the Lanxi County Chronicle in their hands.

At this moment, Li Zhu hurriedly walked in from the outside, placed a piece of paper on the stone table, and then turned around and left.

Li Xuan glanced at the slip, then handed it to Wang Bo beside him, and said: "Three miles east of Lanxi City and five miles north of the city have been set up. No one is allowed to leave but not to enter."

"Your Majesty wants to conquer Lanxi in one go." Wang Bo put the slip on the table.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "Whether it is Meiling, Sanheguan, or Zhitang Town, if we want to hold it firmly, besides the state city, the one we can most rely on is Lanxi County."

At this point, Li Xuan paused for a moment: "Lanxi County Magistrate Xu Wen has governed Lanxi over the years, suppressing wealthy families, guiding the people, opening up canals, and building bridges. Although the entire Lanxi territory is not considered to be politically connected and people-friendly, the internal conflicts are not that big, so

Although there are some locals who believe in the Tianyin Sect, most of them are shallow believers. Most of the true devout believers are immigrants from Muzhou, which is convenient for us and others."

"Lanxi is located in the south of Muzhou. Neither the governor nor the central government will let a mediocre person become the magistrate of Lanxi." Wang Bo looked at Li Xuan seriously and said in a deep voice: "The magistrate of Xu is regarded as

The people in the city are threatening me and have no choice but to become thieves. I hope the prince can rescue me in time."

Li Xuan nodded slightly, picked up the towel on the side and wiped his hands, and then said: "Let's set off first, and then we'll talk about it when we get to Lanxi. What's going on with Magistrate Xu? I'll know it clearly when I get there.

.”

"Here!" Wang Bo stood up and saluted with his hands in hand.

It can be seen that Li Xuan does not have much trust in the county magistrate Xu Wen.

But this is not surprising. After all, Xu Wen has become a thief. What he thought before, what he thinks now, and what he did in the meantime are difficult for outsiders to know.

With Li Xuan's suspicious character, it is strange that she would believe him.

…

Wearing black armor and holding an eight-sided Han sword at his waist, Li Xuan stepped out of Yanxi Villa.

Li Zhuhu was on the left, and Wang Bo was following on the right.

The three people walked quickly towards the big ship in the distance.

At the edge of the pier, Qi Guang hurried up to meet him, raised his hands and reported back: "Your Majesty, all the Yanxi soldiers have boarded the ship and are waiting for His Majesty's order."

"Leave a team of people here to guard the place. Governor Wang will send people to deliver supplies to Lanxi in the future. We need to keep a closer eye here to avoid being taken advantage of by someone with serious intentions." Li Xuan explained seriously.

"Anyone who cares?" Qi Guang looked at Li Xuan in surprise when he heard this, but then he raised his hand and asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to leave more manpower?"

"No, one team is enough. There will be people arriving later. I will order them to keep more people here." Li Xuan waved her hands and said: "It's not a threat here yet. It's better to keep them. Go and make arrangements.

Bar."

"Here!" Qi Guang didn't hesitate at all and immediately turned around to make arrangements.

At this time, Wang Bo looked at Li Xuan thoughtfully: "Does the prince have other plans here?"

Li Xuan did not answer directly, but instead raised his eyes to look at the vast long river ahead and said softly: "The Wujiang River flows north, joins the Lanxi River and the Qujiang River, and merges into the Lanjiang River at the foothills of Lanyin Mountain. It goes north to Meicheng and merges with the Xin'an River.

The Fuchun River continues northward and reaches below Fuyang, where it is called the Qiantang River."

Li Xuan looked at the long river in front of her with faint eyes, and said softly: "If the terrain of Wujiang River is used skillfully, it is enough to subvert tens of thousands of soldiers. It all depends on how it is used."

Lanxi has been known as "the confluence of three rivers", "the waist of six rivers" and "the thoroughfare of seven provinces" since ancient times.

Yanxi River is located at the bend of Wujiang River.

Any ship sailing here must slow down.

This is the time when you are most vulnerable to attack.

Li Xuan doesn't want to have to come here in the future, but if it comes to a last resort,

The terrain here must be well utilized. As he said, at least tens of thousands of soldiers must be buried.

…

Qi Guang got on the boat again and raised his hand to Li Xuan: "Your Majesty, everything has been arranged."

Li Xuan nodded slightly and walked to the bow of the ship holding the Eight-sided Han Sword in her hand.

Looking at the wide Wujiang River in front of him, he quickly turned his head to look at Li Zhu: "Send the order to sail the boat and stop it three miles away from Lanxi County."

"Here!" Li Zhu immediately turned around to make arrangements.

The big ship started slowly, then accelerated, heading towards Lanxi County.

Li Xuan waved to Wang Bo and Qi Guang, and they stepped forward knowingly.

Li Xuan thought about it, pointed to the vast Wujiang River and said: "If we have to, the entire Wujiang River is a vast battlefield, and it is an extremely beneficial battlefield for us."

The Tianyin Sect came from the north, and if there were only three to five thousand people, then Li Xuan had the ability and the confidence to keep them out of Wuzhou.

But if this number doubles, then he must consider the possibility of giving up the front line to preserve his strength.

If the reinforcements from the Yuezhou Governor's Mansion are not available for a long time, Li Xuan will not only have to give up Meiling Pass, Zhitang Town and Sanhe Pass, it is very likely that he will also have to give up the entire Lanxi.

At that time, Tianyin Sect can go directly to Zhoucheng along the Wujiang River, and Li Xuan can also go directly to Lanxi County along the Wujiang River.

By then, the entire Wujiang River will be the broadest battlefield.

Whoever captures Wujiang will be the biggest winner in the entire war.

"Your Majesty, you think that the Yuezhou Governor's Office cannot support us in time?" Wang Bo saw through the key point of Li Xuan's words at a glance.

The river wind was biting, and Li Xuan took two steps forward.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Li Xuan said softly: "I don't want things to come to that point, but I will never forget that the Zhoushan pirates are watching overseas."

"Zhoushan pirates!" Wang Bo's breathing suddenly became serious, his fists clenched and his brows furrowed.

"Whenever the Zhoushan bandits move, the Hangzhou Navy will inevitably contain them. By then, it will be very good for the Hangzhou Navy to be able to defend Tonglu, and there will be no room left to put pressure on Jiande; if there is another problem with Yuezhou at this time,

At that time, we are the only ones who need to deal with everything." When Li Xuan said this, even he couldn't help but shake his head.

Twenty years ago, Chen Shuozhen launched an uprising in Wuzhou. At its peak, the number of troops reached more than 60,000.

Later, after brutal elimination in war after war, there were still 30,000 elites left.

It would be extremely difficult for Li Xuan to resist 10,000 people. If you ask him to resist 30,000 people, it would be like asking him to die.

He wouldn't do such a thing.

"Dushui Division, Navy, use this Wujiang River to suppress the Tianyin Sect to the west of the city. That's what we can do." Li Xuan shook his head and smiled softly: "Maybe everything is due to this.

The king is just thinking wildly, and maybe everything is not like this at all."

Wang Bo's expression did not ease at all. He frowned and suddenly looked at Li Xuan and said: "Your Majesty, don't forget, we still have reinforcements from Yangzhou. As long as we can hold on a little longer, the reinforcements from Yangzhou will definitely arrive soon.

, no more than three to five days.”

"Mr. Zian." Li Xuan bowed deeply to Wang Bo, and then said solemnly: "Please forgive Li Xuan for being too talkative. Sir, please don't forget, the war is fierce and the war is dangerous, and the human heart is full of ghosts."

It was Li Xuan's curse. If we really do what Mr. wants, there will be hundreds of us on this trip. Even if there is more assistance in the future, there will definitely not be ten people left alive in the end."

Speaking of this, Li Xuan repeatedly emphasized: "Sir, please remember that you must not show off your strength when you are not absolutely sure."

Wang Bo was stunned for a moment, thinking about what he had experienced in his life, and finally nodded silently.

Li Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Wang Bo would use his righteousness and the people to coerce him.

If Wang Bo really said this, then Li Xuan would have no choice but to ask him to leave.

"Come here, bring me some pen and ink. I want to draw a good picture of the broad and flowing Wujiang River." Li Xuan waved to the back.

Li Zhu quickly took out the flower stand, brushes, and rice paper.

Li Xuan's paintings are basically all meticulous paintings. There is not much difference in size, but there is always a lack of artistic conception.

So he always said that his painting ability was weak, and many people recognized this.

I don’t know how long time passed, but finally, a meandering Wujiang River finally appeared clearly in Li Xuan’s paintings.

Extremely detailed.

It was at this time that Lanxi County finally appeared at the end of time.

Wang Bo lowered his head slightly, and then he realized that the outline of Lanxi County also appeared in Li Xuan's painting.

…

Three large ships stopped on the Wujiang River three miles south of Lanxi County.

Li Xuan stood on the bow of the ship and looked far into the distance. He could vaguely see many people peeping over on the top of the city of Lanxi County.

"Qi Guang!" Li Xuan shouted in a low voice.

Qi Guang, who was behind him, immediately raised his hand and said, "My subordinate is here."
