Volume 1: The First Signs Chapter 69, Huanjiang covers the sound of the scabbard
After the Huainan incident, all eyes in Dayuan were turned to the southeast, and in the north, except for the 250,000 defenders of Youcheng and the Qingzhou Iron Cavalry, they were almost defenseless.
However, Lu Zhaoyi's arrangement is completely correct.
If the Dongning army wants to go south, the two roads of Yuyang in Youzhou and Youbeiping will definitely not be able to go, so the only way to go to Jiangzuo Jianye City is to take the sea.
Therefore, we can only lure the enemy deeper, lure Dongning into Jianye, and wait for the opportunity to move after they land on the shore, and annihilate them once and for all!
"That's not right!" Chu Nian suddenly exclaimed, "Seventh Lady, aren't you thinking about dealing with the Qian Tang Gang?"
Lu Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows, "So what?"
The late madness and Xiao Yaozi of the Qian Tang Gang are the people she must get rid of, even if the teacher is unknown, she will give them a heavy blow.
What's more, it is impossible for their gang not to participate in what Dongning and Nanhai are plotting.
Since the hundreds of people from the Tianxia Alliance and the Drifting Snow Building have already stepped into Jiangzuo, why not take the opportunity to attack the Qian Tang Gang?
"The whole thing has come to light, Huainan's disease has been lifted, and the minister thinks that Your Majesty should bring people back to Luojing as soon as possible, right?" Lu Zhaoyi pondered for a moment and said.
Xia Pei was also a wise monarch, and immediately understood what she meant, but he still had some concerns.
"I'm still worried about you."
"Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this." Lu Zhaoyi called lightly, "The ministers have a number of ministers in this matter, and when all the dust settles, the ministers will definitely ask Your Majesty for guilt."
She has made it clear that she will not give up on this operation no matter what.
"Let Wu Shengjia stay and follow me, and the others, Your Majesty can dispose of them at will." She looked at Xia Pei directly with a firm gaze, "The middle continent should still be under the surveillance of the people on the other side, if Your Majesty stays here for a long time, it may affect the minister's plan."
When he said this, Xia Pei relieved his heart, let out a sigh of relief, and nodded in agreement.
Instead, he turned around and asked the guards to escort Zhao Chu and Ruan Sanniang down, preparing to gather a large army and set off for Beijing. In order to be able to help, the 5,000 Shadow Moon Guards who followed him out of Beijing at the beginning drew 4,000 people to stay.
After they left, Lu Zhaoyi groaned and instructed Chu Nian to hurry up and deliver the letter.
In the room, only she and Wu Shengjia were left, and they were quiet for a while, and no one spoke.
On top of the first place, Lu Zhaoyi re-brewed the tea and said indifferently: "Xia Pinglang told you, who am I?"
Wu Shengjia was stunned for a moment, and rushed up to give his hand, "I was ordered by General Xia Pinglang to serve the military advisor."
"Hmm." She bowed her head lightly, "I don't need you to follow the dogs."
"I will obey the orders of the military advisor." Wu Shengjia was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
snorted lightly, Lu Zhaoyi didn't want to deal with him.
"Strategist, can you tell So-and-so what to do now?"
Lu Zhaoyi hooked her lips and smiled lightly, her eyes and eyebrows were full of elegance, she pretended to be mysterious, so that Wu Shengjia, who was at the head of the bottom, lowered his head and didn't dare to ask again.
"In two days, I'll be using you!"
In a flash, two days passed.
Before dawn, Wu Shengjia took a team of shadow guards and quietly left the wet beard, along the north of the river, in the direction of Hengjiangdu.
There, it is very close to Jianye, and it only takes half a day to reach the city after crossing the river.
At the same time, he also followed Lu Zhaoyi's instructions, once he crossed the river, set up a stronghold on the left side of the river, and set up an ambush here, and the three thousand shadow guards would rush over in a few days.
Above the middle continent, quietly, many secret posts in Danyang County on the other side did not dare to move, if it was really easy to be an enemy of the imperial court, it would be extremely risky for them, and it would be small to lose the official hat, once they were defined as anti-thieves, they might even be implicated in their families.
Right now, there are those who are timid and afraid of death, and they are already holding the river boat and on the way here.
Chu Nian's expression trembled slightly, and he also bowed his hand to the person in the upper position, "Lu Niangzi, Wuhu County ordered He Fang to ask to see him outside the door!"
"Let him in!" Lu Zhaoyi closed his eyes and spoke indifferently.
With the order, Chu Nian retreated as promised, and soon, his figure disappeared outside the door, and the door closed.
After a while, the door was pushed
Kai, a man about forty years old, dressed in a cyan official uniform, representing his identity as a courtier of the Great Abyss, walked into the house trembling at the moment.
In the process of coming in, he didn't even dare to raise his head, his legs were weak, and he fell to his knees, "How can you defend yourself, meet the envoy."
Lu Zhaoyi raised his eyes slightly, glanced at him, and didn't have any expression, "Get up and speak!"
"Yes!" He Fang hurriedly got up, still hanging his head, pinching his cuffs and wiping the sweat stains on his face.
"He County Order, let me ask you, Danyang County, who is in charge today?" Lu Zhaoyi asked coldly.
He Fang's body was shocked, and his face turned white, "This, everything is under the command of Danyang Taishou, Feng Shicheng, as for the rest, the lower officials don't know anything, and ask the military advisor to make it clear!"
After looking at him a few more times, Lu Zhaoyi snorted coldly, and even called the old slippery head in his heart, "Let me ask you again, is there frequent contact between the counties in Jiangzuo, and there is even a suspicion of gathering crowds to train troops?"
As soon as these words came out, the county commander fell on his stomach, and was frightened by her, "The superior envoy Mingjian, the lower official is loyal to Dayuan, and has never done anything against the law."
This matter is really important, and he must not dare to be ambiguous. Also because after Xia Pei ascended the throne of King Yuan, he collected the soldiers and horses of the world, and strictly ordered all states and counties not to recruit soldiers, and privately made military armor.
"Well, I'll trust you for now!" Lu Zhaoyi shook the teacup lightly, "He County Commander is here, what is the reason for this?"
He Fang was stunned for a moment, and then knelt down again to bow down, "Back to the envoy, the lower official heard that the envoy stayed here, and previously sent soldiers and horses to cross the river across the river, and the lower official was deeply anxious, so he came to ask for sin."
"Oh? What sin are thou?"
"Xiaguan ......" He Fang was hesitant, and cold sweat was dripping on his forehead.
"But it doesn't hurt you to say it!"
Lu Zhaoyi's tone suddenly became sharp, and a cold glint burst out in his eyes.
"The lower officials want to expose to the higher authorities, Danyang County is too guarded and sincere, and colludes with the forces of the rivers and lakes to subvert the dynasty." He Fang gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Feng Taishou, Feng Qiyang, established a gang in Huiji County, relying on the protection of Feng Shicheng to gradually grow bigger, and now it is strong enough to shake the imperial court!"
The wind is blowing the sun.
This was the first time she had heard the name of the Qian Tang Gang.
It seems that it is because of Feng Shicheng that the Qiantang Gang is so rampant.
Slowly picking up a cup of tea, she put it to her lips and sipped it, she continued to ask, "What evidence do you have to prove that Feng Shi is sincerely plotting against you?"
As he spoke, He Fang at the bottom took a letter from his cuff, knelt forward, and stretched out his hand to hold it, "This is a letter from Feng Shicheng and Wu Donghuan, and Dongning, the Dongning army is about to arrive at the mouth of Yuejun now, and within seven days, they can land in Jianye City."
Lu Zhaoyi held the teacup for a moment, was stunned for a few moments, took the letter, and read it carefully.
It was really not bad as she guessed, and according to this letter, the Dongning army that landed this time was only 20,000 people, and it was not ruled out that there would be a large army crossing the sea in the future.
Faced with this situation, her movements had to speed up.
As for He Fang, he can use this letter as his vote, and it will definitely not treat him badly.
"I will report this to Your Majesty." She put down the letter and said lightly, and called Chu Nian with a loud voice, and took him down.
She was the only one left in the room, bowing her head in contemplation, analyzing the current situation.
The Dongning Army had entered the river from the sea, and it was difficult to turn back after entering Jianye City within seven days.
Thinking of last night, the spies she specially sent out came to report that all the counties in Jiangzuo had been closely monitored by Piaoxue Tower, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a sneering smile.
She wants to see if this crisis can be resolved in the end?
And these days, she has been holding back and hiding in the middle of the beard, just to find an excellent opportunity to give the most fatal blow to those who covet the Great Abyss.
Now, it seems, the time is ripe.
In an instant, it was evening again, and in the sound of the rain, the river flowed slowly, and in this silence, it was particularly clear.
She came to the window, pushed it open lightly, and looked at the dark river in the distance, and her heart jumped with it
Never stop.
Slowly returned to the dresser, and as soon as she sat down, she looked in the mirror, her own appearance, her eyebrows were picturesque, beautiful and refined, every time she saw this face, she would still have a strange touch.
She tilted her head and looked out the window, where it was easy to see the scenery on the other side.
Behind him, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, and a white figure in the mirror quietly walked in, slowly approaching.
