Chapter 435: Hangzhou-Vietnam crisis, hidden dangers of pirates

With a "bang" sound, the window was closed tightly.

The sound of wind and rain outside was immediately cut off.

Li Xuan walked back to the seat in the middle hall and sat down, then stretched out her hand to signal Yao Zhi to continue introducing the situation of Zhoushan pirates.

Yao Zhi put his hand on the tea bowl, looked at Li Xuan, leaned forward slightly, and said with worry: "There are accurate clues. The Zhoushan pirates set out from the north of Zhoushan a few days ago, avoiding everyone's sight, and quietly

They disappeared silently. Right now, no one knows where they went."

North side, north side of Zhoushan.

Zhoushan is bounded by the sea to the east, Hangzhou to the west, Yuezhou to the south, and Suzhou to the north.

However, Suzhou City is on the bank of the canal and far away from the sea. The pirates cannot directly attack Suzhou City, so the threat to Suzhou is not great.

Similarly, Suzhou's threat to pirates is also not great.

"Could it be that they went to Yangzhou?" Li Xuan couldn't help but frown.

"As long as the pirates appear outside Yangzhou, the Hanjiang soldiers will never act rashly. Without the support of Yangzhou, you and I will be in danger." Yao Zhi looked at Li Xuan, his face full of worry.

"That's not what you said." Li Xuan waved his hand, he did not agree with Yao Zhi's judgment.

Pressing one hand on the table, Li Xuan shook her head and said: "If the pirates really went to Yangzhou, then the Hangzhou navy would be free to attack Muzhou from Hangzhou."

"But what if the pirates just made a false shot in Yangzhou, and then quickly retreated to the sea outside Hangzhou?" Yao Zhi said, this guess alone was enough to scare the Han Jiangwei in Yangzhou and the navy in Hangzhou.

who dare not move,

"The action may not be like this, but the purpose is definitely like this." Li Xuan waved her hand, looked at the window, and whispered: "If I arrange it, the fleet will be divided into two, with a small number of people in one place, and a large number of people in one place.

Some people are in one place, and the main force is erratic, but they can reach any place at any time. Everything is at the whim of the opponent's leader, and outsiders cannot figure it out."

Yao Zhi looked at Li Xuan, with a hint of fear in his expression, and then said with worry: "Actually, there is another place... If the other party spreads the arrangement, then there is another place that is equally important, and that is Yuezhou. In this way,

Your Majesty..."

Li Xuan immediately raised his head and stared at Yao Zhi, his brows suddenly furrowed.

Although Yao Zhi was using the Zhoushan pirates as a shield, the implication behind his words was that not only would he not send troops into Wuzhou to help, but he would also send some of his men into Yuezhou.

Yao Zhi looked at Li Xuan and slightly cupped his hands: "The situation is like this. This official is also here under the orders of Governor Duan."

"I still need to discuss this matter with Wang Shijun." Li Xuan immediately launched the shield that he had prepared long ago.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Your subordinates will not draw away the soldiers from the Prince's hands. The selected candidates have been prepared in the city and have even set off for Yuezhou." Yao Zhi said the matter in one sentence, but stared at Li.

Gorgeous facial expressions.

"That's good!" Li Xuan nodded calmly, his expression unexpectedly cold.

Now that he has defeated Zhang Wanyu's attack, Yao Zhi may not need additional troops for the time being.

But if Yao Zhi had done this before the war, it would have been a direct blow to him.

That's why Yao Zhi decided to make this trip in person.

Seeing Li Xuan's calm expression, Yao Zhi felt relieved, and then looked at Li Xuan and asked: "Your Majesty, this time the Zhoushan pirates have made a sudden move, the Hangzhou Navy and the Yangzhou soldiers are temporarily unable to move, and the Tianyin Sect will inevitably

Concentrating all efforts to attack Wuzhou, does the prince want to take a preemptive strike?"

"Preemptive strike?" Li Xuan frowned immediately and said directly: "Sima hopes that the king will directly send troops to Muzhou, so as to reduce the pressure on Hangzhou and Yuezhou."

"Prince..." Yao Zhi's face changed slightly, and then he said with a wry smile: "Xiaguan does have such an idea, but it is also because the Tianyin Sect has been defeated by the prince after several attacks.

idea."

"Sima's idea is not wrong." Li Xuan waved her hand indifferently, after all, everyone is selfish.

Pressing one hand on the desk, Li Xuan looked at Yao Zhi and said: "If you want to go north to Muzhou, there are three ways, one is Quzhou, the other is Meiling Pass, and the third is Wujiang. Quzhou doesn't have many troops.

Once you go north, your deployment will be immediately disrupted, and the traps that have been laid out will become ineffective and the enemy will take advantage of you."

Quzhou is a trap, and even Longyou is part of the trap.

Li Xuan had never really paid attention to Long You before, and this was the reason.

When the Tianyin Rebellion broke out in Muzhou, it was impossible for the Central Committee to focus only on Wuzhou, Hangzhou, Yuezhou, and Shezhou, while turning a blind eye to Quzhou, which was just around the corner.

In fact, it's just the opposite. The governors of Quzhou and Kuozhou have probably already begun active preparations. Once the Tianyin Sect appears in Longyou, the troops from Quzhou and Kuozhou will immediately come to kill them.

When the time comes, if we continue to attack Wuzhou from east to west, the Tianyin Sect will be finished.

The Tianyin Sect also saw through this trap, so they didn't spend much time on Longyou at all.

After all, with Long You in the way, all actions of Quzhou and Kuozhou are under control.

"The second one is Meiling Pass." Li Xuan subconsciously patted the table next to him, and then said: "Sima, it's not Li Xuan's excuse. In the previous battles, although he won by luck, the soldiers were injured a lot.

Coupled with mental exhaustion, it was difficult to start a battle for a while, and although the opponent was severely damaged, they were more vigilant. In addition, within a few days, people came from the north from time to time. I am afraid that the opponent's manpower is already superior to mine, and we

Wait again..."

Li Xuan couldn't help but spread her hands towards Yao Zhi.

Wuzhou originally supported their troops, but now they were transferred away by Yao Zhi. Their side was even more stretched, and Yao Zhi's face suddenly became anxious.

Li Xuan quickly stopped Yao Zhi who was about to speak: "I have no intention of blaming Sima. After all, nothing can happen to Yuezhou. If Yuezhou is stable, Wuzhou will be stable. The faster Yuezhou is stabilized, the faster it can support Wuzhou.

"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it's just that we can't find the hidden strength of Tianyin Sect for the moment. Once found, Governor Duan will definitely destroy it with thunder and then quickly assist Wuzhou." Yao Zhi quickly gave Li Xuan a slight hand and made a direct guarantee.

He is now deploying troops from Wuzhou, which has indeed created a dilemma for Li Xuan.

"It is not that I have not thought about marching north to Muzhou, but in addition to the enemies on the opposite side, the key obstacle is the terrain; the mountain roads are rugged, and if the thieves attack me, the mountain roads will help me. If I attack the thieves, the mountain roads will help the thieves.

If you don't help me, I will become my enemy." Li Xuan laid out the matter completely in front of Yao Zhi,

Even Yao Zhi had to nod at this time.

"The third one is Wujiang." Li Xuan tilted her head slightly, with a faint flash in her eyes: "Wujiang is vast. It goes straight from Sanheguan down to Lanjiang River, then turns in the middle and enters Xin'an River. It is not a feasible way.

only……"

"Just what?" Yao Zhi raised his eyebrows. He had now thought about it. The advantage of the King of Nanchang was not so easy to take advantage of.

"Zhoushan pirates." Li Xuan's face suddenly turned cold, and he said solemnly: "Wujiang, we can use it, and the Tianyin Sect can also use it. If my guess is right, Zhoushan pirates will probably come soon."

Some people have entered Muzhou to help the Tianyin Sect train the navy. Once the navy comes out, whether it goes east to Hangzhou or south to Wuzhou, we will be faced with a catastrophic situation."

"Zhoushan pirates, Xin'anjiang." Yao Zhi looked at Li Xuan, and finally nodded in agreement, saying: "Indeed, this is the most likely."

"In this case, please ask Sima to send a letter immediately to recruit a general who is proficient in water warfare from Yuezhou or Hangzhou. Otherwise, if something happens, Wuzhou will be opened up and Yuezhou will also be threatened." Li Xuan stood up and faced him.

Yao Zhi bowed sincerely.

"Thanks to the prince's reminder, the official realized the crisis." Yao Zhi originally had something to say, but now, he is no longer in the mood.

After calming down for a while, Yao Zhi immediately said: "I will go to Sanheguan to check. If the Tianyin Sect really comes to kill, Sanheguan must have enough time to resist, and I will also ask the prince for assistance."

"Xiao Wang will definitely send someone to Sanheguan in time." Li Xuan also handed over.

Yao Zhi nodded, said no more, and immediately turned around and left.

Li Xuan personally sent Yao Zhi outside Guancheng and watched as he led a dozen of his men and rode quickly towards Sanhe Pass.

Li Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

The heavy rain had become thinner at some point. After Li Xuan thought for a moment, he returned to the Shouguan Xiaowei Mansion.

"Your Majesty!"

Qiu Zhenmu, Yan Tao, Zhou Shen, Feng Hua, Wang Qin, and Qi Guang were already waiting in the middle hall. When they saw Li Xuan returning, they handed over their hands at the same time.

Li Xuan nodded lightly, walked to the middle seat, sat down, and then faced everyone.

Feng Hua was the first to step forward and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, will there really be navy troops in Muzhou attacking my Wuzhou?"

"I'm afraid this is inevitable." Li Xuan nodded calmly, stretched out his hand to signal Feng Hua and everyone present to sit down, and then continued: "Zhoushan pirates are just one of the reasons. Compared with twenty years ago,

Now, I believe that the Tianyin Sect will be more fully prepared this time. Meiling Pass is blocked by me. If they want to capture Wuzhou, they have only one way to go."

"Then, Your Majesty, do we need to support Sanheguan?" Feng Hua followed closely and took another step forward.

He was a scholar who joined the army, took charge of rivers and lakes, built bridges, and built buildings.

Although Sanheguan is not under his control, the Wuzhou section of Wujiang River is his responsibility.

"Feng Canjun." Li Xuan looked at Feng Hua and everyone present, and said in a deep voice: "Sanhe Pass, we must not let it go, but the premise is that Meiling Pass must be firmly defended, otherwise we will lose Meiling Pass.

, it’s useless even if we defend Sanhe Pass.”

"But after Sanheguan was lost, Lanxi County was immediately on the verge of collapse... Oh, no wonder the prince kept leaving Brother Yu in Lanxi." Feng Hua suddenly woke up.

After Li Xuan came to Meiling Pass, she never transferred Yu Ze to her side. Instead, she asked him to stay in Lanxi with Wang Bo to deal with the follow-up.

Now it seems that the foresight in this has been very obvious.

"Sanheguan, Lanxi, Yanxi." Li Xuan raised her head fiercely and looked at everyone present, her face suddenly became solemn: "This section of the Wujiang River in Lanxi is like this. What we have to do is to The Tianyin Sect Navy Army is buried in this section of the waterway, as you can understand."

"I understand." Everyone present realized at the same time that Li Xuan had been planning a long time ago.

Suddenly, everyone felt relieved at the same time.

Their King of Nanchang, apart from other things, has never failed in this calculation alone.
