At three o'clock, the sun is shining.

Three huge official ships, from the south of Wuzhou, came mightily.

Finally, it slowly docked at the place three miles south of Lanxi County.

The tall mast was plunging straight into the clouds, and those who saw this scene from a distance felt a huge pressure coming from afar.

The figures above the city were in a panic.

Li Xuan stood at the bow of the ship, looking coldly at everything in the distance.

The Wujiang River keeps impacting forward, and the waves refracted colorful rainbow light in the sun.

On the dock on the shore, Qi Guang led himself to personally select two teams of soldiers, stood under the boat, and bowed to Li Xuan at the bow of the ship.

Looking up from below, the gold-silk robe on a black background looks unusually cold.

It was as if the whole world had become extremely solemn in an instant.

Li Xuan lowered his head, looked at the neat and uniform Wuzhou soldiers lined up in two columns, nodded expressionlessly, and then raised his eyes forward, and his eyebrows suddenly cold.

Qi Guang immediately bowed, then turned around, his face suddenly pale.

"Let's go!" Qi Guang snorted coldly, and waved his hand forward at the same time.

"Obey!" The two teams of soldiers responded with a bang, turned around and strode towards the northwest, towards Meiling Pass.

Li Xuan's right hand pressed on the eight-sided Han sword, and watched the group move forward quickly.

A group of hundreds of them, on foot, with a longbow on their bodies, a quiver behind them, and a lance on their shoulders, Chiguoguo walked along the west wall of Lanxi County, and quickly went straight in the direction of Meiling Pass.

Lanxi County City soon made a move, and it didn't take long for two soldiers on horseback from Lanxi City to quickly chase in the direction where Qi Guang was going.

Li Xuan took a deep look at the city head of Meiling Pass, and there seemed to be a burly figure looking at Li Xuan's location from afar.

The corners of Li Xuan's mouth were slightly stunned, and his left hand gently waved back: "Li Zhu, you personally bring two teams of soldiers to guard Feng Shenjun and his craftsmen, and bring the finished tools and tools, and pull them to Meiling Pass with a carriage, the speed does not need to be fast, just slow down." ”

"Whoa!" Li Zhu didn't have any doubts, and turned around and walked away.

Soon, a commotion sounded under the big ship.

The tools and unfinished ordnance were all carefully carried onto the carriage by the soldiers under the reprimand of the craftsmen.

It was lively below, and at this time, Feng Hua and Wang Qin rushed over from the back boat.

"Lord Wang!" Feng Hua stood and saluted, his face was serious, but he asked with a hint of puzzlement: "Lord Wang, didn't you say that you should let the lower officials recruit craftsmen to build ordnance in Lanxi?" ”

"Of course." Li Xuan looked down, then pointed to Lanxi County in the distance, and said to Feng Hua with a smile: "Does Feng Senjun hope that this king will attack Lanxi head-on and kill a river of blood, or do you hope that this king can take Lanxi County without blood?" ”

"Naturally, it is bloodless." Feng Hua didn't wait for Li Xuan's words to land, then frowned and asked, "Is it possible?" ”

"Naturally." Li Xuan smiled lightly, put his hand back on the eight-sided Han sword, and raised his head and said: "There are only three hundred black pawns left in Lanxi today, all of whom are guarding Meiling Pass, and most of them are still remnants of defeated soldiers, and the strength they really have is nothing more than a group of soldiers temporarily recruited from Lanxi, there are a thousand people, five hundred guarding Meiling Pass, and five hundred guarding Lanxi County." ”

"There won't be so many, and the soldiers recruited from Lanxi will definitely not exceed five hundred." Feng Hua suddenly said something that surprised Li Xuan.

Li Xuan looked at Feng Hua with some confusion and said, "Although there is a discrepancy in this king's number, the difference will not be too big. ”

Li Xuan laid out his eyeliner to Lanxi very early, and the number of soldiers recruited by the Tianyin Sect from Lanxi would only be more than before, and definitely not less than before.

"What the prince said, the vast majority of them are people, not soldiers." Feng Hua bowed slightly to Li Xuan and said: "The prince doesn't know, the Lanxi County Ya, including the fast catchers and soldiers, all the blades will not exceed three hundred, even if the people of the Tianyin Sect are extremely scavenging from the local families and merchants, this number will not exceed five hundred, and the vast majority of these five hundred people have gone to Meiling Pass." ”

"I see, this king ignored it." Li Xuan suddenly realized that he solemnly bowed his hand to Feng Hua.

Although the imperial court allowed the people to have their own swords and even longbows, the people who could really buy swords and longbows were the wealthy families from all over the county.

The average farmer can't afford to buy these things, and at most one or two firewood knives are good.

Great, buy two short knives and daggers, that's all.

It seems that the Tianyin Sect can coerce more people, but these people mostly have hoes and sickles in their hands, and they don't have many swords, guns and bows at all.

Their combat power can be imagined.

……

"Now the people guarding Lanxi County are some people who have not experienced the cruelty of war, as long as the prince sends troops to attack, he can easily take Lanxi County." Feng Hua arched his hand at Li Xuan and expressed his opinion.

Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Feng Hua and said, "Feng has joined the army and has a heart, this truth is indeed the truth, but ......"

Seeing Li Xuan's hesitation, Feng Hua hurriedly asked, "Is there anything that Xia Guan has not thought through, and I hope that the prince will explain a thing or two." ”

Looking at Feng Hua's sincere face, Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction, then pointed to Lanxi County in the distance, and asked, "How do you think of the city in front of you, and what do you think is the biggest hidden danger among the tens of thousands of people in this entire city?" ”

Fengguang's eyebrows couldn't help but raise, he subconsciously began to recall, and then soon, the corner of his eyes swept to Li Xuan's body, his eyebrows raised, and he instantly remembered something, and blurted out two words directly: "It's a believer." ”

"That's right, it's a believer." Li Xuan nodded, looked at Lanxi County, and said softly: "The foundation of the Tianyin Sect in Lanxi is those believers, with the Muzhou immigrants as the core, and then the local poor families as vassals, uniting the shallow believers in other families, expanding and attracting more believers, and forming a joint force, this is the greatest strength of the Tianyin Sect in Lanxi." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xuan's face became serious: "These people are also the biggest obstacle for us in Lanxi; There are at least thousands of such people in Lanxi, plus their families, relatives and friends, and the people they have wrapped up account for almost all the population of Lanxi County...... Do we really want to kill the entire Lanxi County, tens of thousands of people, for a city? ”

Lanxi is a medium-sized county, with a population of more than 4,000 households, including men, women and children, women and women, and tens of thousands of people.

However, whether it was the end of the Sui Dynasty or the earlier Three Kingdoms period, there has always been only one way to deal with these coerced people.

That's killing.

"This king is not a vicious executioner, what he is doing now is to give them a chance to survive." Li Xuan sighed, waved his hand, and said, "Go ahead and do it." ”

"The lower officials obey the order." Feng Hua and Wang Qin immediately surrendered their hands, and then turned around to arrange the ordnance transfer.

Wang Bo stood on one side, not saying a word.

With his understanding of Li Xuan, perhaps what he just said was indeed the true thoughts in Li Xuan's heart, but it was only one of the true thoughts.

What Li Xuan is really doing is still the same old way.

He wants these people to betray the Tianyin Sect again, and there is no possibility of surrendering to the Tianyin Sect again.

Murder and heart.

It is what they, the king of Nanchang, are best at.

……

"Stomping" two war horses from the north clinging to the city wall of Lanxi, and quickly came in the direction where the official ship was.

Passing by the brigade escorting the ordnance in the middle, the horses' hooves kicked up a huge amount of dust and landed on the cart, but the horse's speed must not have relaxed.

The war horse quickly moved away from the escort brigade and headed towards the official ship.

However, at this moment, on the city wall, countless eyes watched all this, but they did not move, not even a single arrow was fired.

You must know that all these people under Li Xuan went directly to Meiling Pass from under their noses.

In the distance, Li Xuan saw someone arguing in the city.

A slight sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The war horse quickly stopped on the dock, and the two government soldiers quickly boarded the boat, and then took out a bamboo tube from their bodies and handed it to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan opened the bamboo tube, took out the slip note and glanced at it, and a slight sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He took out the brush from the flower stand on the side, wrote a word on it, and then handed the bamboo tube back.

The two government soldiers bowed their hands to Li Xuan, then turned around and disembarked, heading towards the northwest very neatly.

They passed by the ordnance brigade again, but they also ignored them and headed quickly to the north.

The appearance of the cavalry made the quarrel on the city wall silent for a while.

It was not until the procession of craftsmen and siege equipment began to leave the county grounds that the quarrel resumed.

Li Xuan turned his head to look at Wang Bo and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Zi'an, do you think they will attack the armed team in the north, or will they attack us!" ”

Since arriving outside Lanxi County, Li Xuan has kept sending people out.

If the people in Lanxi County can see through Li Xuan's reality and reality, they will know that there are not many people on the official ship now, as long as they come, maybe they will gain.

However, Wang Bo couldn't help but shake his head.

But anyone who knows enough about their prince will definitely not easily step into this trap.

With a "squeak", the north gate finally opened slowly.

The city gate farthest away from Li Xuan's official ship opened, and the other party's choice was self-evident.

Hundreds of soldiers, armed with swords and longbows, quickly headed in the direction of the ordnance escort.

"Sure enough, there are still people from the Tianyin Sect among them." Li Xuan took a bite out and finally relaxed.

"How could the Tianyin Sect not send people to control the county seat, even if the county order Xu Wen was already used by them, but he was not their person after all, how could they rest assured." Wang Bo shook his head and looked at the city wall in the distance with blazing eyes: "Now that the opportunity of Xu Xian Ling has come, it depends on whether he can seize it." ”

"If he can't catch it, don't blame this king for being ruthless." Li Xuan said, pressing a hand on the long sword at his waist.

Behind him, there is also a whole team of Huijifu soldiers, a whole team of Wuzhou soldiers, and a whole team of Nanchang Mansion guards, which is the last strength in his hands.

Although it was not a standard formation for attacking the city, Li Xuan didn't believe that those people in the city who were not even swords could stop him.

"Kill!" Suddenly, a broken cry sounded in Lanxi County, and a team of centaurs could be seen from a distance suddenly exploded, and then launched a bloody killing of another group of people.

"Lord Wang!" Wang Bo looked at Li Xuan with some concern.

Li Xuan waved his hand directly and said indifferently: "This is what they must experience, only in this way can they forgive their sins; Only then can they be considered anyway; Only then will the king have reason to ask the court for forgiveness for their sins. ”

Wang Bo lowered his head helplessly, and then quickly raised his head and said, "Xiaguan will go to write the document immediately." ”

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded lightly.

Wang Bo quickly turned around and left, he wanted to finalize this matter completely.

It didn't take long for the gate of Lanxi County on the opposite side to open again.

A group of men and horses, bowing their heads in frustration, came in the direction where the official ship was.
