Chapter 262: Hidden Waterways, Pirates' Troubles
Standing on the wide water master school field, you can see the sparkling waves of the winding and vast Qiantang River under the cold moonlight.
Li Xuan stood by the side door, and beside him stood a burly middle-aged lieutenant wearing fish scale armor.
"Why did the prince transport these corpses to my sailor's station?" The middle-aged lieutenant looked at Li Xuan with a puzzled expression.
Li Xuan looked at the neatly placed corpses in the middle of the school field in the distance, and said solemnly: "This time, I would like to thank Uncle Ji for sending troops to block the four waterways, which caused those traitors to have no way to escape, and finally all died at the hands of this king."
Li Xuan turned his head sideways and said seriously, "After I go back, this king will personally go to Nanya to ask for credit for my uncle...... If Xiao Wang has any other requests in the future, please ask your uncle for more support."
"Naturally, even if the prince doesn't mention it, the lower officials will do their best." Ji Huan took a half step back, arched his hand slightly, and said to Li Xuan with a solemn face: "In this way, the lower officials will thank the prince for their sons."
Ji Huan completely understood the meaning of Li Xuan's words, Li Xuan came to send credit this time.
As the general of Qianniu Wei Zhonglang of the inspection school, nominally, Li Xuan is also under the jurisdiction of the Nanya of the Ministry of War.
The traitors killed by Li Xuan are, nominally speaking, completely military merits.
The participation of the Hangzhou sailor, even if it is just to block the four waterways, is enough to share the credit from it, but the credit is not large.
Such a credit is naturally not taken seriously by Ji Huan, but it has a great effect on the soldiers in his hands.
Some people who are stuck in a key position and are only one step away can take a step up from it.
Assigning these feats to his cronies in key positions, as long as they are properly operated, Ji Huan's control over the sailors and his prestige in the army can be further enhanced.
"Uncle, don't say thank you, you and I are our own family." Li Xuan finally showed a smile on his face, and returned the salute, as warm as jade.
"In this case, please forgive the prince for being rude." Ji Huan's face suddenly became serious, and he looked at Li Xuan and asked seriously, "Lord Wang, I don't know who the woman who came with the Lord Wang Ye is?"
"Woman?" Li Xuan was slightly stunned, where did the woman come from, but then, he slapped his forehead and said suddenly, "Uncle is talking about Du Liu, uncle misunderstood!"
Li Xuan felt a little amused for a while, but then said with a serious look in his eyes: "That Du Liu is the daughter of an old friend who was introduced to Xiao Wang by Runzhou Assassin Shi, originally the kid was going to Zhuji to join them, but he never thought that he could see this person at the banquet of the Kui family tonight, and this king was also a little caught off guard...... Perhaps she came here to observe this king, and I don't know."
"To be professional?" Ji was stunned, but at the same time, he said as if he understood something: "The house turned out to be Hangzhou and also had a layout."
"Back then, the prime minister was demoted to the history of the state assassin, and perhaps it was at that time that some people were left behind." Li Xuan shook his head calmly and said, "When the kid was in Luoyang, he had a close relationship with the young grandson of the Huangmen Lai Shilang, the crown prince, so he came to the family to send some people to help the king."
Regarding the matter of finding the inheritance of the family, Li Xuan did not mention half a word.
This is the core secret of coming to the house, and Li Xuan does not mention that Fang is the foundation of people.
"I see, it is indeed extraordinary that the prince can come to this point." Ji Huan sighed with emotion.
For Li Xuan, Ji Huan has been paying attention to it for a long time, especially after he became Liu Renliang's grandson-in-law, they are extremely concerned about every step.
Ji Huan was Liu Renliang's subordinate when he fought at the Baijiangkou that year, and it was precisely because he fought bravely to kill the enemy in the first battle at the Baijiangkou that after that battle, Ji Huan was promoted to the captain of the navy.
Later, Baekje was lost, and although the imperial court left a group of sailors on the East Island, Ji Huan took the opportunity to ask Liu Renliang to transfer him back to the Tang Dynasty and take up the post of captain of the Hangzhou Navy Division.
Hangzhou, the capital city of Shangzhou, is a rare prosperous and prosperous place in the world, and Liu Renliang can come here to serve as the captain of the water division, and Liu Renliang has made a great contribution.
Therefore, there is also a lot of attention to Li Xuan's matter.
Li Xuan came all the way south from Luoyang, Yangzhou, Runzhou, Changzhou, and Hangzhou, and he visited many people.
It seems that he is not in a hurry to go to Wuzhou, but he is gradually increasing his influence on the local families in Wuzhou.
As soon as he arrived in Wuzhou, these forces could be completely condensed immediately.
Even the later the day, the stronger the power and the greater the pressure.
Although people are immature, this way of doing things is very old-fashioned, and Mount Tai is overwhelming. It's not something that ordinary people can do.
Ji Huan has served as the captain of the Hangzhou Navy for many years, and there are only a few such people he has seen.
"Please ask the prince to overstep the official, but it is actually the old mother in the family who was seriously ill back then, and it was the third lady who hired a famous doctor from Luoyang and rushed to Hangzhou within a few days to diagnose and treat her mother, and her mother survived." When Ji Huan said this, his tone couldn't help but be a little choked.
Li Xuan nodded slightly, and said with a sigh: "I see, I never thought that Sanniang would have such a past."
"It's not the Xiaguan family, over the years, the third lady has helped the families of the brothers in the army a lot, although it is in the name of grace, but everyone knows the truth, so they are grateful to the third lady." sighed heavily, and stretched out his hand: "Lord Wang, please, let's talk inside."
"Uncle, please." Li Xuan walked on the military path with Ji Huan, and asked in a low voice, "I don't know if the old lady is still healthy?"
"Fortunately, my mother is in good health and is now recuperating in West Lake Village." Ji Huan stood at the door and stopped, stretching out his hand: "Lord Wang, please first."
Li Xuan was not polite, and in a short period of time, their relationship became a lot closer.
Li Xuan said in a low voice, "It's really that this time in Hangzhou is too short and there are too many affairs, otherwise, I will definitely go to visit the old lady."
"I almost forgot, the prince is a disciple of the medicine king Wei Xuanzang, if he can ...... for his mother" Ji Huan's words were not finished before he was directly interrupted by Li Xuan.
"My uncle didn't know, the doctor's theory is that the elderly should not be easily seen when they are not sick, because the causes are frequent and difficult to measure, and second, although some diseases are latent, as long as they are comfortable, they may never attack. But once you know the condition, you may break out when you are depressed, so even if your uncle asks Xuan to see it, if it is not for the urgency of her illness, Xuan will not tell the truth more, but more to recuperate, even if she tells everything, she will only inform her uncle, and she must not tell Ling Tang."
At Ji's mother's age, no matter what the illness is, it is already deep in the body.
At this point, it is almost impossible to pay attention to the root cause.
Maintain a cheerful mood and pay attention to dietary adjustment, and most of the things will be fine.
"I see." After listening to Li Xuan's words, Ji Huan nodded solemnly, and arched his hand, "Thank you, Lord Wang."
Pouring tea for Li Xuan with his own hands, Ji Huan sat down on the side, looked at Li Xuan, and said in a low voice: "If Xia Guan was not wrong before, it should be the old man Kui Gong, and the prince has completely caught his mistake this time."
"It's not a problem, although the Kui family is wrong in some things, it is only wrong, but the sincerity they showed this time is quite impressive." Li Xuan said, placing a booklet in front of Ji Huan.
Ji Huan picked it up directly without taboos, flipped it over slightly, and suddenly couldn't help but gasp.
"These are some of the hidden waterways that the Kui family has explored in Wuzhou for many years, all of which are recorded on it, and there are two two-masted ships and seven clippers for the prince to deploy, so the Kui family has really invested a lot of money...... Wait, it's just Wuzhou, good guy!"
Ji Huan put the booklet on the table on one side, and said with some amusement: "This old guy, it's really yin, it seems that he wants to serve the prince, but what he has done is very limited, it seems that he has made a lot of money, but the loss is limited."
"When this king first came to this land of Wuyue, it was only one night of contact with the Kui family, and now he wants to let others get rid of it completely, and it may not be big." Li Xuan looked at the booklet on the table, stared at it and said, "This time, the most important thing is to keep Wuzhou, as for the rest, you can put it back."
Li Xuan's goal is extremely clear, what he wants to do now is to completely destroy this incident of the Tianyin Sect.
While completely eliminating them, we also tried our best to minimize the damage to the people caused by the war.
"By the way, this is the transfer order of the Hangzhou Assassin's Mansion." Li Xuan took out another official document from his body and handed it to Ji Huan.
Ji Huan glanced at it, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, the prince will be dispatched in the next place, and the best sailors will go to Wuzhou to assist the prince in handling Wuzhou affairs."
"With my uncle's sailors, plus the ships of the Kui family, the three official ships of this king, and the sailors that can be recruited in Wuzhou, this king can build a naval army that crisscrosses the territory of Wuzhou. Li Xuan's expression brought a burst of murderous intent.
With these sailors, plus the elite soldiers and veterans of a hundred battles he got from Hangzhou, as well as the recruits recruited in Hangzhou, after arriving in Wuzhou, recruit a group, and then recruit a group, and the strength to defend the city will be there, so that the advance can be attacked and retreated, and in a short period of time, Li Xuan can firmly hold the entire Wuzhou.
At that time, the troops of Yuezhou Zhichong Mansion will be killed, and they will be able to immediately solve all the Tianyin rebels.
Just like what Fang Renyu and Cui Yixuan did back then, they quelled all the civil strife in one fell swoop.
Not knowing where to think, Li Xuan suddenly raised his head and looked at Ji Huan: "Uncle, there is something I would like to forgive Xuan for taking the liberty of asking: If one day, when the Tianyin rebels gather to attack the city, and there are internal bandits to answer it, at this time, will there be other forces that will threaten Hangzhou City?"
Ji Huan was slightly stunned, but his expression immediately became solemn, nodded with a heavy face, and said, "Yes, pirates."
