Chapter 412 Emperor’s uncle Li Xuan, beauty recommendation banquet

The mountains are rolling and rolling, and under the setting sun at dusk, the mountain roads are full of dark shadows.

Li Xuan stood at the top of the city, holding a long sword at his waist and pressing his right hand on the parapet, looking at the narrow mountain road in front of him and the steep peaks on both sides.

Those shadows seemed to turn into countless soldiers in his eyes, rushing towards the checkpoint.

Li Xuan waved her hand, and these shadow soldiers immediately disappeared without a trace, turning into darkness again, hiding quietly under the mountains.

His right hand fell on the hilt of the long sword. Li Xuan's eyes flickered, as if something appeared in his mind.

It seemed that he could vaguely see two groups of soldiers fighting each other in front of his eyes.

Wang Qin stood behind Li Xuan and couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, is there any feasible strategy for the terrain here?"

Wang Qin thought he knew the King of Nanchang fairly well. A person like the King of Nanchang could immediately come up with five or six methods in a blink of an eye.

Li Xuan looked back at Wang Qin in surprise, nodded, and said: "Once the Tianyin Sect mobilizes its troops, the number of troops will be at least thousands. The mountain road is narrow, which is not conducive to the deployment of troops. Therefore, our best way is to force the opponent

Hard fight..."

"Use crossbows and catapults to kill Tianyin believers on a large scale." Wang Qin somewhat understood.

He joins the army as a meritorious officer and knows many things.

"Well!" A trace of hesitation flashed on Li Xuan's face, and he said thoughtfully: "But the battle losses of crossbows and catapults must be considered after all. We may have some upper hand at the beginning, but after the crossbows and catapults are used up,

If I wait for myself, I’m afraid I’ll have to fight them head-on.”

Li Xuan didn't like fighting hard. He shook his head and said: "If that's the case, I'm afraid I will have to accompany them all, so before they arrive at Meiling Pass, we must consume as much energy as possible and delay their arrival.

The time at Meiling Pass made them walk on the mountain road longer and more tiring."

"So the prince ordered the villages and forts on both sides of the mountain road to be burned down..." Wang Qin immediately understood Li Xuan's plan and blurted out: "It's still a strategy of exhausting the troops!"

"That's all we can do, use the strategy of tired troops, and add that we have more ordnance than they do. In this way, our advantage will be greater, and the accumulated advantage bit by bit will become a victory."

"Your Majesty, I understand." Wang Qin looked at Li Xuan, stretched out his hand and bowed.

From the time Li Xuan set out in Zhoucheng until now, almost every step has been carefully calculated.

Step by step, he accumulated his own strength, weakened his opponent's strength, and won one victory after another.

And even if there were casualties during this period, the casualties had been reduced to the lowest possible level.

The key is that after several rounds of fighting, the Qianniu Guards, Kuaiji soldiers, and Wuzhou soldiers have gradually adapted to the rhythm of the war.

"The Yan Can Army blocked the mountain road at the front. Brother Qiu led the Qianniu Guards and the hunter-born soldiers to strangle all the remaining soldiers and prevent the details of the fall of Meiling Pass from being exposed as much as possible. In this way, our advantage can be maintained until the end of the day.

When the Yin army comes to kill."

Li Xuan put her hands behind her hands and looked at the rolling mountains in front of her, with a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes.

In order to ensure that his advantage could be retained for a long time, Li Xuan even sent Qiu Zhenmu directly.

If Qiu Zhenmu and the others hadn't tried their best to stop him, Li Xuan might have committed suicide by now.

The purpose is to use these advantages to kill the enemy as much as possible.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will be able to firmly guard Meiling Pass and prevent the Tianyin bandits from having any chance of overcoming." Wang Qin firmly handed Li Xuan his hand.

Regarding guarding Meiling Pass and preventing Wuzhou from falling into the flames of war, Wang Qin and Li Xuan took the same stance.

They are different from the local aristocratic families in Wuzhou. Only when Wuzhou becomes more prosperous will officials like them have the opportunity to move to more positions.

Once Wuzhou falls into uncontrollable turmoil, no one like them will be able to survive.

The aloof emperor has always considered more issues of costs and benefits.

If people like them firmly guard the Tianyin Sect's move south, then the emperor will definitely not be stingy about promotions and promotions.

But if they allow the Tianyin Sect to invade Wuzhou and Wuzhou is corrupted, then the career of these people will come to an end.

If these people can successfully block the Tianyin Sect from outside Wuzhou, or even invade Wuzhou and destroy the Tianyin Sect, then they will have achieved a peerless feat.

His victory in the Baijiangkou battle was comparable to that of Liu Rengui, the left prime minister of the time. It would not be impossible to become a marquis and worship the prime minister when the time comes.

"It depends on how strong the Tianyin Sect is and how many people they will send to Meiling Pass. If too many enemies come, we'd better keep ourselves useful. After all, as long as we exist, they will always be wary.

Three points, if we were not there, who knows how crazy they would be." Li Xuan shook his head slightly, he did not agree to stick to it blindly.

Wang Qin was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "This official is taking the liberty."

Li Xuan was the current king of the county. He was still young and could serve as a governor of a state. However, if he made too much contribution and forcibly sent him to a higher position, it would definitely be a disaster rather than a blessing for him.

"It doesn't matter. In fact, from my point of view, if we let it go a little, it won't matter if Meiling Pass is lost... If we can directly annihilate more Tianyin bandits on the Wujiang River, then the merits will definitely outweigh the faults.

." Li Xuan turned sideways and looked to the southeast.

Unknowingly, the wind noise became louder and louder, but no one paid attention.

Under the dark sky, a faint shadow of Wujiang River can be seen.

It stretches for a long time, converging from the Pan'an Mountain area, then going north to Jinhua, then going west and turning north to Lanxi, and finally all the way north from Lanxi, crossing the rolling mountainous areas, passing Tonglu, entering Fuchun, and finally entering Hangzhou, reaching the East China Sea.

If the vast Wujiang River is utilized well, Li Xuan and others located in the upper reaches will have great advantages.

"Joining the army, you should know about Zhuge Town, which is not far from here. So what is the most memorable event in Zhuge Kongming's life? Do you still remember joining the army?" Li Xuan suddenly mentioned Zhuge Kongming.

"It's a straw boat borrowing arrows." Wang Qin nodded, and then he said: "But that's just a folk romance. "Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Lord Wu" and "Wei Lue" both record that the protagonist of this matter is Wu

Lord Sun Quan."

"Yes, the Battle of Chibi is really worthy of special mention." At this point, Li Xuan turned to ask: "Joining the army, do you still remember the battle of Chibi and the comparison of the strength of Cao's army and the Sun and Liu coalition forces?"

"According to the records of "Three Kingdoms", the strength of Cao's army should be about 150,000, including 100,000 direct descendants and 50,000 surrendered Jingzhou soldiers; Sun and Liu's coalition forces, Liu's army has more than 30,000 people, and Sun's army has more than 50,000 people, or two to one."

Wang Qin was just from the Wang family in Taiyuan and was very familiar with these things.

"Yes, Cao Mengde fought in the Battle of Chibi and never went south in his life. The world's general situation has reversed. Now that we follow the example of our ancestors, we may not be able to defeat the Tianyin rebels." Li Xuan's look flashed with unimaginable flashes.

of brilliance.

Zhuge was good at using water and fire throughout his life, which is what Li Xuan has always longed for the most.

As for other battlefield fighting techniques, they are not as good as the skillful use of timing.

Hundreds of thousands of powerful enemies changed hands and were completely overturned in an instant.

"Your Majesty, please be careful. It's good for you and I to talk about this. If someone is interested in hearing this..." Wang Qin suddenly reminded Li Xuan in a low voice, and Li Xuan was suddenly startled.

Wang Qin's words immediately made Li Xuan become silent.

When Gaozong Li Zhi was alive, Li Xuan was the emperor's cousin.

Once Li Zhi passed away, whether Li Xian came to the throne or Li Dan came to the throne, he would be a veritable imperial uncle.

If Liu Bei is mentioned casually, it will inevitably make people think too much.

Li Xuan suddenly thought of Sangu Villa in Jinhua and Zhuge Town in front of Meiling Pass. Now he suddenly mentioned the Battle of Chibi. These things seemed to have an invisible hand guiding him in a certain direction.

.

But Li Xuan knew in his heart that the invisible hand that really guided him secretly was himself.

Suddenly, Li Xuan smiled slightly.

It seems that after returning, we have to change the name of Sangu Villa, from Sangu to Sigu.

Look in front, look behind, look left, look right, and look around the villa.

"It's a pity that you and I can't get too close after all." Li Xuan sighed softly, stretched out his hand and said, "Let's go, join the army, and accompany me to carefully inspect the city's defenses. I will be able to guard here in the future."

How long it takes depends on how well prepared we are."

Wang Qin paused for a moment, but then said solemnly: "I obey the order!"

…

The entire Meiling Pass is high in the south and low in the north. From a plan view, the Nanguan City Wall and the Beiguan City Wall are at the same level.

The reason for this is because the Beiguan City Wall is one meter higher than the Nanguan City Wall.

It is this height of one meter that makes it more than twice as difficult for the Tianyin Sect to attack the city.

"If we can build some special shields with a height that can go from here to there, then even if the Tianyin Sect has a catapult, we don't have to worry at all." Li Xuan walked from the north to the south on the city wall.

, exactly four meters wide.

"Four meters?" Li Xuan frowned slightly, this figure was a bit difficult to handle.

"Actually, there is no need to cover them all. Just have a few sides, and then let all the soldiers shrink in. After all, I won't be full of soldiers on the city wall like the Tianyin Sect guarding the city. What we are waiting for is to use it, and even more

Most of them are crossbows and catapults." When Wang Qin mentioned the catapult, he couldn't help but pause slightly, and then looked towards the bottom of the city.

This height, this slope.

All of a sudden, the power of the catapult was immediately increased by half a percent, so their chances of successfully defending the city would be even higher.

"In this case, I would like to trouble Junjun and Mr. Feng to think more about it. I have to write a letter to the envoy to report. In addition, Hangzhou and Yuezhou also have to write to urge them. Then the two families can have more
