On the bank of the Wu River, a fast horse galloped from the north.

A knight in red clothes and gold armor above, in full view of everyone, rushed directly into the Lingdong Yanxi Mountain Villa.

……

Early in the morning, Li Xuan and Wang Bo sat at the stone table, eating breakfast while reading the Lanxi County Chronicles in their hands at the same time.

At this moment, Li Zhu hurriedly entered from the outside, placed a slip of paper on the stone table, and then turned to leave.

Li Xuan glanced at the slip note, then handed it to Wang Bo on the side, and said: "Three miles east of Lanxi City and five miles north of the city have set up cards, and anyone is only allowed to go out, not to enter." ”

"The prince wants to go down to Lanxi in one go." Wang Bo placed the note on the table.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "Whether it is Meiling, Sanheguan, or Zhitang Town, if you want to hold it steadily, in addition to the state city, the most reliable place for us is Lanxi County." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xuan paused slightly: "Lanxi County ordered Xu Wen to govern Lanxi over the years, suppress the wealthy clan, guide the people, open up canals, and build bridges. ”

"Lanxi is located in the south of Muzhou, whether it is the history of the assassin or the center, it will not let a mediocre person become the commander of Lanxi County." Wang Bo looked at Li Xuan seriously, and said in a deep voice: "Xu County's order was blackmailed by the people of the city, and he had to be a thief, and I hope that the prince can be rescued in time." ”

Li Xuan nodded slightly, picked up the towel on the side and wiped his hands, and then said: "Let's set off first, let's talk about it when we get to Lanxi, what is going on with this Xu County Order, I will naturally be clear when I arrive." ”

"Whoa!" Wang Bo stood up and bowed his hand.

It can be seen that Li Xuan does not have much trust in that county commander Xu Wen.

But this is not surprising, after all, Xu Wen has become a thief, what he thought before, what he thinks now, and what he has done in the middle, it is difficult for outsiders to know.

With Li Xuan's suspicious personality, it is strange to believe him.

……

Dressed in black armor and holding an eight-sided Han sword at his waist, Li Xuan walked out of Yanxi Villa.

Li Zhuhu was on the left, and Wang Bo followed on the right.

The three of them walked briskly towards the big ship in the distance.

On the edge of the dock, Qi Guang hurriedly greeted him, and replied: "Lord Qiqi, all the Yanxi soldiers have boarded the ship, waiting for the prince's order." ”

"Leave a force of people here to guard, and then Wang Tingshi will send people to Lanxi to transport supplies, and you should keep an eye on it here, so as not to be taken advantage of by people with intentions." Li Xuan explained seriously.

"Someone with a heart?" When Qi Guang heard this, he looked at Li Xuan in surprise, but then, he arched his hand and asked, "Lord Wang, do you want to keep more people?" ”

"No, one army will be enough, and someone will arrive later, and the king will order them to keep more men here." Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "It's not a threat here now, it's better to keep it." Go ahead and arrange it. ”

"Whoa!" Qi Guang didn't hesitate, and immediately turned around to make arrangements.

At this time, Wang Bo looked at Li Xuan thoughtfully: "The prince has other arrangements here?" ”

Li Xuan did not answer directly, but raised his eyes to look at the vast long river ahead, and said softly: "The Wujiang River flows north, confluence at Lanxi and Qujiang, merges into the Lanjiang River at the foot of Lanyin Mountain, goes north to Meichenghui Xin'an River and is called Fuchun River, and continues to go north to below Fuyang, called Qiantang River." ”

Li Xuan looked at the Changhe River in front of him with a faint gaze, and said softly: "The terrain of the Wujiang River, if it is used cleverly, is enough to subvert tens of thousands of soldiers, and everything depends on how it is used." ”

Since ancient times, Lanxi has been known as "the confluence of three rivers", "the waist of six waters" and "the thoroughfare of seven provinces".

Yanxi is located at the bend of the Wujiang River.

Any ship that comes here must slow down.

This is the time when it is most vulnerable.

Li Xuan didn't want to be useful here in the future, but if it really came to the last resort,

The terrain here also has to be put to good use, as he said, at least tens of thousands of soldiers must be buried.

……

Qi Guang got on the boat again and bowed his hand to Li Xuan: "Lord Wang, everything is arranged." ”

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and walked to the bow of the boat with the eight-sided Han sword in his hand.

Looking at the wide Wujiang River in front of him, he quickly looked sideways at Li Zhu: "Order, drive the boat, and stop the boat three miles from Lanxi County." ”

"Whoa!" Li Zhu immediately turned around to make arrangements.

The big boat started slowly, then accelerated, and headed in the direction of Lanxi County.

Li Xuan beckoned to Wang Bo and Qi Guang, and the two stepped forward knowingly.

Li Xuan pondered, pointed to the vast Wujiang River and said: "If you have to do it, the entire Wujiang River is a vast battlefield, and it is an extremely favorable battlefield for us. ”

The Tianyin Sect came from the north, and if there were only three or five thousand people, then Li Xuan had the ability and the confidence to keep them out of Wuzhou.

But if this number doubles, then he must consider the possibility of abandoning the front line and preserving his strength.

If the reinforcements from the Yuezhou Governor's Mansion do not arrive for a long time, Li Xuan will give up not only Meiling Pass, Zhitang Town and Sanhe Pass, but it is very likely that he will have to give up the entire Lanxi.

At that time, the Tianyin Sect could go straight to the state capital along the Wu River, and Li Xuan could also go straight to Lanxi County along the Wu River.

At that time, the entire Wujiang River will be the broadest battlefield.

Whoever wins Wujiang will win the biggest winner and loser in the entire war.

"Does the prince think that the Yuezhou Governor's Mansion will not be able to support us in time?" Wang Bo saw through the point of Li Xuan's words at a glance.

The river breeze was cold, and Li Xuan took two steps forward.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Li Xuan said softly: "This king doesn't want things to come to that point, but this king never forgets Zhoushan Haikou, watching overseas." ”

"Zhoushan Haikou!" Wang Bo's breathing suddenly became solemn, his fists clenched, and his brows tightened.

"As soon as the Zhoushan group moves, the Hangzhou Sailor will inevitably contain it, and when the time comes, it is already very good for the Hangzhou Sailor to hold Tonglu, where is there still the spare strength to put pressure on Jiande; If there is any problem in Yuezhou at this time, at that time, we will be the only ones who need to deal with everything. When Li Xuan said this, even he couldn't help but shake his head.

Twenty years ago, Chen Shuozhen rebelled in Wuzhou, and when the army was at its peak, it reached more than 60,000 people.

Later, in the brutal elimination of wars again and again, there were still 30,000 elites in the end.

Let Li Xuan resist 10,000 people, he feels extremely difficult, and if you let him resist 30,000 people, you simply want him to die.

That's the kind of thing he wouldn't do.

"Dushui Division, Water Master, using this Wu River to suppress the Tianyin Sect to the west of the state city is what we can do." Li Xuan shook his head and smiled softly: "Maybe everything is this king's thoughts, maybe everything will not end here at all." ”

Wang Bo's face did not ease in the slightest, he frowned, suddenly looked at Li Xuan, and said: "Don't forget, Lord Wang, we still have Yangzhou reinforcements, as long as we can hold on a little longer, Yangzhou reinforcements will definitely be able to come soon, at most in three or five days." ”

"Mr. Zi'an." Li Xuan bowed heavily to Wang Bo, and then said solemnly: "Please forgive Li and Xuan for saying more, sir, please don't forget, the soldiers are in danger of fighting, and the hearts of the people are ghostly." If it weren't for Li Xuan's evil words and curses, if we really do what Mr. wants, there will be hundreds of us on this trip, even if there is more assistance in the future, there will definitely be no more than ten people left who will survive in the end. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xuan repeatedly emphasized: "Sir, please remember, in the absence of absolute certainty, do not be reckless." ”

Wang Bo was slightly stunned, thinking about what happened in his life, and finally nodded silently.

Li Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried that Wang Bo would use some righteousness and the people to coerce him.

If Wang Bo really said such a thing, then Li Xuan could only ask him to leave.

"Come on, take pen and ink, this king wants to paint this wide and flowing Wujiang River." Li Xuan waved to the back.

Li Zhu quickly took out the flower stands, brushes, and rice paper.

Li Xuan's paintings are basically all fine brush paintings, and there is not much difference in size, but there is always a lack of artistic conception.

That's why he always said that his painting skills were weak, and many people recognized this.

I don't know how long time has passed, and finally, a winding Wujiang River finally appeared clearly in Li Xuan's pen.

Extremely meticulous.

It was at this time that Lanxi County finally appeared at the end of time.

Wang Bo bowed his head slightly, only to find that the outline of Lanxi County also appeared in Li Xuan's pen.

……

Three large ships stopped on the Wu River, three miles south of Lanxi County.

Li Xuan stood on the bow of the ship, looking into the distance, and could faintly see many people watching from the head of the city in Lanxi County.

"Qi Guang!" Li Xuan drank in a low voice.

Qi Guang in the rear immediately surrendered his hand: "The subordinates are here." ”

Li Xuan looked at the northwest of Lanxi County, and said in a deep voice: "I order you to lead two teams of soldiers to Meiling Pass immediately, stop ten miles away from Meiling Pass, stay for half an hour, return from Meiling Pass, and approach Lanxi County from the north gate." ”

"The lower officials obey the order." Qi Guang arched his hand, and then immediately turned around.

His right hand pressed on the hilt of the knife, and walked quickly in the direction where the Wuzhou soldier was.

"Does the prince mean to train him?" Wang Bo stood behind Li Xuan and whispered Li Xuan's purpose for doing this.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "Qianniuwei will return to Liangjing after all, and it is impossible for the soldiers of the Huiji Mansion to obey orders under the command of this king forever, only these Wuzhou soldiers, they are the most reliable people in this king in Wuzhou." ”

There were only two people on the list that Li Xuan recommended to the emperor, one was the Wuzhou Prison, the inspector of Wuzhou Bingcao joined the army Xu Jian, and the other was Ding Yi, the commander of Jinhua County.

These two talents are the two deepest nails that Li Xuan has inserted in Wuzhou.

In this, there is no Yan Tao.
