Chapter 408: Be cautious and burn the cottage

In Meiling Pass, Li Xuan, who was wearing a black brocade robe and a black hat, walked out of a courtyard slowly.

Although the hands were cleanly washed, the bloody smell on the body was heard from far and near.

In the courtyard behind him, a low moan and shout kept coming.

Li Xuan looked at Li Zhu, who was guarding his side, and whispered: "Tell Lanxi County to send the required hemostatic medicinal materials as soon as possible, we are only fighting against six or seven hundred Tianyin thieves now, so the damage can be controlled for the time being, once we fight against thousands of Tianyin Sect strong enemies, if we are not careful, even you and I will be injured and killed, at this time, doctors and medicinal materials are very important." ”

Li Zhu arched his hand, nodded, and was just about to say something, when at this time, a soldier in front of him walked quickly.

"Back to the king, the new chief secretary of Lanxi is here from Lanxi."

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief at this moment: "Let's go and take a look." ”

Although he is a disciple of the medicine king Wei Xuanzang, he is slightly proficient in medicine, but for the injuries of battlefield battles, in addition to the technique of suturing, he is more about medicine.

As if remembering something, Li Xuan turned his head to look at Li Zhu: "Tell the injured brothers that the process of this king's diagnosis and treatment for them must not be told to the outside world." ”

Li Zhu was slightly stunned, hurriedly surrendered his hand, and then quickly turned back.

Some things, put on ordinary people, that's a great achievement, but when they are put on Li Xuan's body, it's not necessarily a good thing.

So for these things, be cautious if you can.

Gathering his thoughts slightly, Li Xuan immediately walked quickly towards the front.

Not far away is the Meiling Pass Military Academy Captain's Mansion.

A middle-aged official in a cyan official robe was standing at the gate of the mansion, with large cars behind him.

Food, medicinal herbs, ordnance, and many important supplies were brought over.

"Wang Ji, the new chief bookkeeper of Lanxi, has seen the county king Qianqiu!"

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Li Xuan bowed his hand to Wang Ji very sincerely and said, "With this batch of things, many people should be able to survive." ”

In this battle, under Li Xuan's strategy, although it was won very smoothly, more than a dozen people were killed, and dozens of people were injured of varying degrees of severity.

"Don't dare, the prince but he needs it, Lanxi will do everything he can to send it." Wang Wangji hurriedly returned the salute to Li Xuancheng in fear.

"It's okay, please." Li Xuan walked briskly towards the mansion.

In the official mansions on both sides of the mansion, Feng Hua was leading people to repair damaged bows and crossbows and catapults, while Wang Qin was counting battle losses and military exploits.

Li Xuan walked along the path in the house, and the two of them didn't even look up at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan looked at Wang Ji with a slightly wry smile.

Wang Ji stopped slightly, bowed his hand slightly to the officials in the official hall on both sides, and then entered the middle hall with Li Xuan.

Immediately, a Nanchang palace guard brought the tea.

"The environment is simple, forgive the master book." Li Xuan stretched out his hand to signal Wang Ji to use tea, and he himself walked aside and washed his hands again in the copper basin.

"Don't dare, the prince worked hard, recaptured Meiling Pass in one day and night, stabilized the foundation of Lanxi, Xia Guan and Xu Xian Ling were infinitely happy after hearing about it, and they also had infinite admiration and gratitude to the king." Saying that, Wang Ji saluted Li Xuan again.

Whether Meiling Pass is in hand is very important to Lanxi County.

The loss of Meiling Pass meant that Lanxi would face the attack of countless armies of the Tianyin Sect at any time.

The sword of threat hangs over his head at all times.

But when Meiling Pass was recaptured, this danger immediately disappeared.

Even if the Muzhou Tianyin Sect army goes south again in the future, with Meiling Pass, Lanxi will at least be able to breathe.

Moreover, they were very confident in Li Xuan, and even hoped that Li Xuan would be able to hold Meiling Pass steadily after the Tianyin Sect attacked.

"The harvest of tax grain should be speeded up, remember not to exploit the people, and recruit some landless local tenants to serve as people's husbands, this king does not need them to go to the city gate to fight, but there are more people to carry arrows and other things." Li Xuan wiped her hands with a silk handkerchief, and then sat back behind the table.

"The subordinate obeys the order!" The king immediately surrendered his promise.

"A farmer is a farmer, this king still hopes that Lanxi can recruit a group of soldiers who are physically strong and have some martial arts to supplement the battle. After a slight pause, Li Xuan picked up the teacup and said seriously: "If you are willing to join the army, now is a good time, tell the people in the county town that Qianniuwei will first select soldiers from among the best soldiers and servants to join Qianniuwei." ”

"Qianniuwei?" Master Wang's face was full of surprise.

Qianniuwei has always been a good choice for the eunuchs of the court, and the children of the clan family are good choices, and even require young and handsome people to be beautiful.

Once you become a Qianniuwei, your career will immediately enter the fast lane.

At the age of thirty or forty, becoming the governor of a prefecture and the history of a state assassin is definitely not delusional.

Now, Li Xuan said that Qianniuwei wants to recruit new people from the well-behaved government soldiers and soldiers, which is unprecedented in the entire Wuzhou.

However, Wang Ji did not doubt the truth of these words at all.

Because Li Xuan himself is the general of Zuo Qianniu Weizhonglang, his position has not been dismissed by the emperor, and he has this right.

Besides, even if you can't become a Qianniuwei, it's good to be able to become a soldier of the Zhichong Mansion.

Or the palace guard of the Nanchang Palace.

"War merits, as long as there are war merits, everything is easy to talk about." Li Xuan's words pointed out the core of this matter.

War exploits, Datang has always given priority to war exploits.

The reason why Li Xuan's Yue Weng Liu Renliang was able to quickly become the left minister was because of his amazing military exploits against the Japanese State during the First World War at the mouth of the Baijiang River.

Now Li Xuan is using his military exploits as the key to knock on the door of Qianniuwei, and even if this matter is placed in the center, few people will oppose it.

Of course, Qianniuwei from the folk and Qianniuwei from the noble family will naturally not be in harmony, and when the time comes, these people will be difficult in Qianniuwei.

However, it depends on the individual's ability and circumstances.

……

After the official business was handled, Wang Ji bowed heavily to Li Xuan, and then turned around and walked away quickly.

Although he himself has no hope of becoming a Qianniuwei, among the children of his family, there are many children who are hopeful of becoming the children of Qianniuwei.

Wang Ji was born in Taizhou Wang, the ancestor of Taizhou Wang is a branch of the Lang Evil Wang Clan, and the Lang Evil Wang Clan is the line of Wang Dun Wang Dao.

In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Lang Evil Wang clan mostly served as high-ranking officials between the Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen in the Southern Dynasties, but in the Sui and Tang dynasties, there was not much foundation.

Therefore, after the establishment of the Sui and Tang dynasties, several tribes of the Langya Wang clan moved north, which gradually had some foundation.

The Taizhou Wang clan is only a branch of the Langya Wang clan, and the political foundation is even weaker.

A real family, who doesn't want to soar politically, and now he has a good opportunity without hesitation, and Wang Ji doesn't want to miss it.

Li Xuan watched Wang Ji leave calmly.

He knew that after the other party returned, he would definitely do his best to help him collect all the materials needed to defend the city.

In addition, many families in the southeast, Taizhou, and Yuezhou will also pay more attention to him at this time because of this matter.

Although Li Xuan only serves in Wuzhou, his eyes will not be limited to Wuzhou.

"Let's go, take a look around." Li Xuan glanced sideways at Li Zhu, picked up the eight-sided Han sword on the table, and then took the lead in walking around the city.

At this time, the sound of killing in the city has long been gone, and it is more of the cry of labor.

Li Xuan walked through the city.

Scattered cobblestones can be seen everywhere, and the people from Shangxi are pulling ox carts to transport the cobblestones to the north gate of Chengguan under the command of the servants.

There are also many people who are about to demolish their smashed houses.

If the original building materials can be transported to the north gate, they will be sent to the north gate, and if they cannot be delivered, they will be pulled out from the south gate.

As much as possible, pile up all kinds of materials for defending the city in the open space.

"Your Majesty!" When Feng Hua saw Li Xuan, he hurriedly stepped forward and gave his hand.

"Feng has worked hard to join the army!" Li Xuan solemnly bowed to Feng Hua.

Feng Hua presided over the logistics assistance affairs during this time, which helped Li Xuan a lot.

In particular, for armaments such as catapults and crossbows, a large amount of supplies must be prepared every day.

In the subsequent Battle of the North Gate, there were not many opportunities for cavalry to play a role, so at this time, it was more necessary to rely on ordnance and equipment, which was the biggest advantage Li Xuan had compared to the Tianyin Sect.

"The big war is imminent, and the lower officials dare not slack off at all." Feng Hua gave his hand to Li Xuan seriously.

"yes, the big war is coming." Li Xuan turned to look at the north, once the Tianyin Sect army came to Meiling Pass, it would inevitably be a tragic battle at that time.

Any smart person has already smelled the smell of war by this time.

"Here, please join the army, this king will go to the north gate to have a look." Li Xuan bowed his hand to Feng Hua, and then took Li Zhu to the north gate.

Although the north of Meiling Pass is a lofty mountain, the ground of the mountain road is lower than that of the south.

It is a mountain that is high in the south and low in the north.

A gentle downward slope stretches from the mountain road in front of Meiling Pass to the end of the line of sight.

"This trade route has been completely closed since a few days ago." Wang Qin stood on top of the city gate, pointed to the mountain road below, and said with a solemn face: "In fact, two months ago, the number of business travelers taking this mountain road began to gradually decrease, and now even if it is opened, there will not be many people. ”

Li Xuan nodded and said softly: "Behind the business trip, there is always the shadow of the family family, and the family family is the most sensitive sense of smell in the whole world, although the things of the Tianyin Sect are secret, but the real family family, they can't hide it." ”

"I'm afraid that everything will not be restored until the rebellion of the Tianyin Sect is completely subsided."

"That's true." Li Xuan nodded in agreement, and then said: "If the disaster of the Tianyin Sect does not subside, the more the merchant family will not take this road, especially since this king has just sealed the Sanhe Pass. ”

Li Xuan's face showed a hint of contemplation, from this time on, Hangzhou's road from Wujiang to Wuzhou was completely broken.

"This is necessary, otherwise once those merchant ships are used by the Tianyin Sect, the price we need to pay will be even greater."

Wang Qin had no objection to this matter, he sighed lightly, pointed to the mountain road in front of him and said, "Now it depends on when the Tianyin Sect will kill it." ”

"It takes two days to get to Jiande along this mountain road, and in the middle, there is a small village for transit, and by tomorrow morning, Captain Yan should already take that small village."

"I heard that the prince has ordered the burning of the place."
