Don't drive inside the official house, the light and shadow are gone.

Li Xuan stood behind the bookcase, spread out a piece of rice paper in front of him, held the slender bamboo tube Cuihao pen in his hand, and then gently sketched on the rice paper.

Yan Tao stood in front of Li Xuan, holding the document of the recruitment order in his hand, carefully reading every word on it.

After half a day, Yan Tao put down the official document and looked at Li Xuan with a serious face: "Lord Wang, in this way, the lower official will be transferred to the Huiji Mansion after the war is over?"

"Whatever you want!" Li Xuan shook his head indifferently, didn't even look up at Yan Tao, and a calm voice came out: "You are now a soldier on the seventh rank to join the army, and when the war is over, if you are willing to transfer, the accumulated military merits will be directly overturned, and if you can make special contributions, it is not impossible to be a lieutenant."

Military positions have always been based on military merit, at least in Li Xuan's case.

If Yan Tao doesn't want to be transferred to the government army, then he can also be transferred to Shangzhou.

But Sima Changshi don't think about it, at most, he just recorded that he joined the army, and this has to be related to him behind it.

Yan Tao looked at the official document in his hand, and finally raised his head, looked at Li Xuan, and bowed his hand deeply: "I don't know what position the prince wants to let me take?"

"Have you figured it out?" The Cui Hao pen in Li Xuan's hand stopped slightly, and raised his head to look at Yan Tao: "Do you know what this means?"

"The lower official is willing to attach to the prince of Ji." Yan Tao showed a wry smile on his face, and arched his hand and said: "This matter, if you think about it carefully, if you want to pursue it, even if the lower officials have made special contributions, at most they will only offset their merits and demerits, and even if they want to be promoted in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to make a difference."

"It's rare for you to see it so clearly." Li Xuan looked at Yan Tao in surprise, then nodded, and said, "In the case of Wang Xuanshi's assassination, if someone really pursues it, even if you make a great contribution, I am afraid that you will have to be transferred out of Wuzhou, and even this will be recorded in your official file forever......

If you are transferred to the government army, then no one will care about these things in Wuzhou, and if there is an assistant in the future, you can be easily retransferred to other states, and the previous stain will be washed away."

"I see." Yan Tao's face showed a hint of abruptness, and then he immediately said, "The king has said so, where does the lower official have a choice."

Li Xuan lowered his head again, continued to sketch on the rice paper on the table, and said at the same time: "In fact, in the eyes of this king, you are not suitable to join the army as a soldier, because you lack enough sensitivity to training soldiers and things other than combat, so even if you have served as a soldier for many years, you will be easily infiltrated in the end, but if you go to serve in the government soldiers, you will not have such worries."

After a pause, Li Xuan shook his head and said, "In fact, in the eyes of this king, you are more suitable to be a general who charges into battle, rather than a commander who is strategizing. If you encounter an enemy like you on the battlefield, you can easily win, but if you encounter someone on the battlefield who is more proficient in intrigue and calculation than you, you should be careful."

"My subordinates understand." Yan Tao quickly adjusted his mentality.

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Under the command of this king, there is also a captain of the army who has come out of the Xinlin Mansion, he is now commanding a team of men and horses in Dongyang, and this king now wants you to command a team of men and horses to recruit soldiers in the state city, but your people are to be stationed here."

Li Xuan said, turning the rice paper in his hand directly.

Yan Tao saw clearly that what Li Xuan had sketched on it before turned out to be a fine map of the Wuzhou River.

"Lingdong Township!" Yan Tao looked at the place where Li Xuan's finger pointed, located in Lingdong Township in the northwest of Wuzhou, and his face was immediately full of surprise.

"This place is located at the junction of Lanxi and Jinhua, and the bend of the river here is the most dangerous place after the entire Wujiang River comes out of the mountain, and the official grain of Lanxi will be transported to Wuzhou in the future, so this place is the best place for them to start." Li Xuan placed the brush in his hand on the inkstone, and then his eyes fell on the river map of Wuzhou again.

His fingers moved up the Wu River to Lanxi, and then down to the state capital.

Li Xuan said softly: "Now, the situation in the state city has gradually fallen into the hands of this king, although the Tianyin Sect has a backhand, but its strength is weak, this king guesses, they

More manpower has been transferred from the state capital to the subordinate counties."

Li Xuan's face suddenly became solemn, and all the joints were condensed on a crux at this time, that is, Xia Harvest.

Fang Yunxiu is undoubtedly a difficult person to deal with.

Li Xuan has now recognized this.

Now he has controlled the four city gates of Wuzhou and the five watchtowers of Wuzhou.

It can be said that as long as Li Xuan takes a turn on the five watchtowers, then he can know at a glance how many Tianyin Sect cores there are in the entire Wuzhou.

However, it is a pity that in today's Wuzhou, in addition to Fang Yunxiu and Ye Wanwan, there are only a few killers.

The real main force of the Wuzhou Hall of the Tianyin Sect has been transferred.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Xuan was being watched very closely now, it was really inconvenient to go to the counties and townships below to see, otherwise, with his means alone, he would be able to find out all the main forces of the Tianyin Sect in the entire Wuzhou, and then kill them blatantly.

These people from the Tianyin Sect were very hidden, especially before Li Xuan arrived in Wuzhou, they seemed to have sensed that something was wrong and transferred the main force in time.

This kind of thing also happened when I was in Hangzhou.

On the surface, it seems that those people from the Tianyin Sect are using people from other sects of the Demon Sect to assassinate Li Xuan, but if you think about it carefully, it is difficult not to suspect that they have actually mastered something, and then they can use all kinds of targeted means to circumvent it.

Li Xuan didn't believe that they knew that he had a prompt entry, and he even believed that the Tianyin Sect suspected that something was wrong within him.

Internal problems led to the leakage of secrets, and Li Xuan seized the opportunity, just like Dongyang did.

The people were scattered everywhere, but they were easily found by Li Xuan, and then they were broken down.

However, they didn't dare to concentrate their manpower completely, because in fact, Li Xuan was not the only one who was secretly staring at them.

"Grain, as long as the people of the Tianyin Sect keep an eye on the grain, then no matter what we do in the state city, they will have the ability to turn the situation around." Li Xuan's fingers slipped from the state city to Dongyang, lightly clicked, and then took to Yiwu, Jinhua, Wuyi, Pujiang, Pan'an, Yongkang, and finally landed in Lanxi.

"Several other places have either been pacified, or the mountainous terrain is difficult to walk, or the surrounding plains are conducive to the movement of the army, but only Lanxi, where the mountains and plains are mixed, and the Wujiang River circulates throughout the territory, and can even go straight to the state city.

Moreover, Lanxi is still the only way for Muzhou to enter Wuzhou, so those Lanxi are extremely important to the Tianyin Sect, and if they want to incite the people to revolt, the only thing they can do is to make a fuss about food."

Li Xuan's breathing became heavy, and his eyes were even more staring straight at Lan Xi.

Yan Tao on the side, his eyes swept over the entire territory of Wuzhou, and finally he had to nod and say: "Indeed, in the five counties in the southeast, the prince has pacified Dongyang, and the power can radiate to the nearby counties, and the two counties in the southwest are mountainous areas, and the terrain is complex, even if there is a change, it is enough for me to react, and Jinhua is close at hand, so the only one who can attack the other party is Lanxi."

Li Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "This king doesn't mind the other party making a move in other directions, so that he can use the terrain to exchange time, but Lanxi, the crux of this place is too serious.

Once the summer harvest begins, and the other party takes it away from us after we have collected all the grain from the people, then we will be passive."

"That's why the prince let the lowly lead people to guard Lingdong Township, which happens to be the junction of Lanxi and the state city, no matter where something happens, you can deal with it in time." Chinese Net

Yan Tao can be regarded as completely seeing Li Xuan's train of thought clearly.

Li Xuan nodded and said, "As long as the tax grain is transported into the state capital, then with the presence of this king, they will not want to take the state city, and if they can't get enough tax grain, then they can only grab the grain from the people in various places.

Once they stand against the people, then their fate is already doomed."

The Tianyin Sect itself was founded under the slogan of laying better things for the common people

soldiers, as soon as they begin to collect food from the people, under whatever pretext, when they begin to plunder the few rations they have from the people, their own foundations will immediately crumble.

In the end, the so-called rebel army is just a plate of scattered sand.

"The prince has great plans, and the officials admire him." When Yan Tao heard this, his eyes showed a solemn look.

This is an upright and upright means of conspiracy, those people of the Tianyin Sect, if they want to rebel, then they must fight with them head-on.

But when it comes to fighting head-on, Yan Tao also came down from the battlefield after all, and he is most confident in this kind of thing.

"If only you had a good idea." Li Xuan picked up the thin pen again, and then sketched it again on the rice paper.

Two or three strokes, the entire Wuzhou Prefecture City, including the four gates of the city, including five watchtowers, various neighborhoods, the Thorn History Mansion, the four major families, as well as the grain depot and the armory.

All of them, under the outline of two or three strokes, all fell between the rice paper on Li Xuan's desk.

Finally, Li Xuan stopped writing, and the entire city of Wuzhou appeared in Li Xuan's pen very clearly.

"In the afternoon, you and this king, Zhang Senjun, and Han Senjun went to inspect the state treasury, and at least half of the existing grain and weapons in the treasury will belong to you in the future, you have to keep an eye on it carefully, if there is any problem here, you will have to fill it with the lives of your soldiers in the future."

Li Xuan's last sentence, like an imprint, was directly imprinted in Yan Tao's mind.

Yan Tao's whole person suddenly became solemn, then looked at Li Xuan, and arched his hand seriously: "Don't worry, the prince knows what to do?"

"Hmm!" Li Xuan picked up the towel on the side, wiped his hands gently, and said, "Let's go, lunch will be used with this king in the state office, and we will go to inspect the treasury together in the afternoon, I just hope that this treasury will not have any problems."
