Hezhou, Bingling Lake Camp.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, a Qianniuwei was reading out the holy decree: "In the third year of Wei Shangyuan, the age of Bingzi, if the emperor said:

The five soldiers of the professional code, the responsibility of the bias, the name of the colonel, and the talent of the fruit.

Birthday pampering, with the reward of the solid; Only serve Enlun, and encourage the strategy of Xuanwei.

Entrusted to Li Jinxing, the head of the Taohe Road March, and Li Xuan, the deputy head of the Taohe Road, properly discussed the affairs of the soldiers in the army, colluded with the three states, had Lanshan, and coerced Qingdong.

There is no mistake in the order. Yu play. ”

After the decree was announced, Li Xuan, Yu Ze, Qiu Zhenmu, Cui Ding, Su Bao and others immediately bowed their heads: "The ministers have received the decree, Your Majesty has a long life." ”

Li Xuan stood up straight, stretched out his hand to take the holy decree, and then nodded to the messenger Qianniuwei and said, "There is an angel." ”

"Don't dare! Lord Wang, please get up! Qianniuwei immediately bowed down, then took out a letter and said: "This is a letter from the princess to the king of Beiping County, and brought it to the prince." ”

Li Xuan was slightly stunned, and subconsciously took the letterhead.

The messenger Qianniuwei immediately bowed his hand and said: "Lord Wang, my subordinates want to go to Hezhou City immediately to convey the holy decree to Di Sicheng, so I will leave first." ”

"Angels walk slowly." Li Xuan glanced sideways at Yu Ze, and Yu Ze immediately stepped forward: "Angel, please!" ”

Li Xuan watched Qianniuwei leave, and then slowly stood up, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

Qiu Zhenmu stepped forward in the same surprise, lowered her head and asked in a low voice: "Lord Wang, Your Majesty's holy decree is a little strange!" ”

"Hmm!" Li Xuan bowed slightly, and said: "All actions are controlled by the princess of Yan Kingdom, it seems that there is something difficult to say here." ”

"It's the time!" Yu Ze came back from outside, first nodded to Li Xuan, and then said to Qiu Zhenmu: "Entering colleagues, taking this county seat is not the most important thing, it is more important to hold it, on Qinling will definitely not let us take it and ignore it, it will inevitably send people to counterattack frantically, so we must discuss the time with Lan Shandao to determine the action, and then the army will be killed, and those who fail will be killed." ”

"It's just to act together." Li Xuan paused slightly, then looked at Yu Ze, raised his eyes, and asked, "How is it?" ”

"Your Majesty has decreed that Di Renjie will be the patrol envoy of Taohe Road, and he will be responsible for the secret spy in Tubo." Yu Ze looked at Li Xuan and said with a slight smile: "Now, the prince's plan has really succeeded." ”

"Di Huaiying's methods of judging cases and investigating rape are excellent, and with him in Hezhou, there is no need to worry about the future." Li Xuan smiled, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, go clean up, tomorrow we will leave for Kuozhou." ”

As he spoke, Li Xuan's gaze fell on the letter in his hand.

Yu Ze and Qiu Zhenmu glanced at each other, then gave up their hands and retreated silently.

Holding the letter in his hand, Li Xuan's brows couldn't help frowning.

The transmission between the palace and him has always had the palace's own transmission channels, and there is no need to pass through Qianniuwei at all.

After all, once Qianniuwei has passed, it is difficult to say whether this letter has been opened and read by anyone.

Perhaps, this letter was meant to be read by others.

With an idea in her heart, Li Xuan sighed lightly, and then slowly opened the letter and read it carefully from beginning to end.

"The queen of heaven gives medicine?" Li Xuan's brows couldn't help frowning, with his sensitivity, he naturally didn't want Liu Jinyu to use other people's medicine indiscriminately at this time, but the queen of heaven gave medicine this time, it seems that it is really just a medicine, how to use it in Nanchang Palace, when to use it, the palace doesn't care.

The crown princess also has to visit the palace, and this favor seems to be a bit too much.

Even if the crown princess can be pregnant, with Li Xuan's help, she doesn't need to be so considerate.

When did Miyanaka become so kind?

……

Li Xuan put down the letter and sighed lightly, he didn't expect that the palace would really eat this set.

Ask for instructions in advance, report during the event, and maybe add a post-event summary.

The emperor may be atmospheric enough, but the Empress Wu is definitely stingy.

Fortunately, the palace only sent medicine, as for how to take medicine, they did not interfere, there was a teacher Wei Xuan hiding, Li Xuan was not worried about what problems his wife encountered.

Moreover, his wife is not an idle person.

Everything in Nanchang Palace's Chang'an was easily handled by her, and it was really not easy for others to do anything.

Li Xuan quickly wrote a letter of thanks, and at the same time wrote about his recent situation to his wife, in great detail and heartfelt expression.

The letter and thanks were folded, and they were all sent to Chang'an through the post station channel.

Of course, he was the king of the county, and he wrote a fold and a private letter to his princess, so he naturally took the fastest first-class channel.

This letter is indispensable for someone to read, in fact, it is for people to read.

Li Xuan's private message to his wife Sanniang was all through the Nanchang Palace's own passage, and outsiders couldn't see it at all.

After the affairs in the palace have been dealt with, what remains is the army of the Qinling in the west.

Li Xuan raised his head and looked at the sand table on the side of the big tent, where there was an army of 300,000 in Wuhai.

Although they are all cavalry that can come and whistle away, in fact, they have a lot of foot soldiers.

If it is really 300,000 cavalry, which is equivalent to this battle, the Tubo people will need 300,000 more war horses, and the amount of forage they need is terrible.

Therefore, the cavalry of the Tubo people is only a hundred thousand at most, and they are distributed in a very wide plateau area.

Vast means opportunity, but also means danger.

If someone directly kills a crack from the army, kills in front of the Qinling, and then takes the head of the general among the ten thousand troops, then the battle can be determined.

At this point, Li Xuan couldn't help but laugh.

This idea is really arrogant, not to mention that Lun Qinling will not give them this opportunity at all, even if they kill Lun Qinling's side, they may not have enough strength to kill him.

Unless all the core forces around Non Qinling have been transferred out, unless Non Qinling leaves the depths of the army and comes to the edge of the mountain closest to them, so that they can suddenly rise up and directly attack the camp of Non Qinling, and then kill Non Qinling before the attacking army is worn out by the Tubo.

Li Xuan shook his head, even if this idea is theoretical, there is only a 1 in 10,000 possibility, and when it comes to timing, the probability of feasibility is even less pitiful.

However, this idea is not necessarily unusable, depending on how it is used.

Li Xuan's eyes calmed down, and his mind calmed down.

Deep in my heart, it is even more terrifying.

……

When the big tent was opened, the fresh air immediately came to his face, and the heavy water vapor made Li Xuan's heart and lungs feel comfortable.

Looking into the distance, on the vast lake in front of you, three-meter-long boats are constantly speeding back and forth in the lake.

In the center of the boat there is a two-meter-long wooden pole on which there is no sailboat.

The boats were all Hangzhou soldiers from the south of the Yangtze River.

All the way from Hangzhou to Yangzhou, and then from Yangzhou to Chang'an, to Hezhou, they Jiangnan people have not rowed for a long time.

The 3,000 Hangzhou soldiers were all transferred to Bingling Lake by Li Xuan.

The lake is wide and surrounded by weeping willows.

On the shore, a craftsman is building a wicker boat no more than five meters long and two meters wide.

The wicker boat is not very thick, it is very light, and even two people can carry it very easily.

If you look closely, you can see that under the wicker boat, there are four small iron wheels that can be fixed on the ground, and you can even think of it as a car.

White tents are set up around the lake, and at the back, rows of wooden houses are lined up.

All the 3,000 Hangzhou soldiers were transferred at once, and the housing was really not enough, so they temporarily set up tents.

In the back of the scenes, countless "ping-pong" sounds sounded, and one after another stoves appeared in sight, and the smoke soared into the sky.

Workshop, weapon workshop.

"This is a hundred miles away from the straight line of Kuzhou, if you count the nine bends and eighteen bends of the Yellow River, I am afraid that it is two hundred miles away, counting the design of the prince in passing the iron wheel, a trip to transport grain and grass, it will take at least ten days, and the amount of each time can not be too much." A somewhat tired voice sounded behind Li Xuan.

Li Xuan turned around and saw two officials standing behind him, one dark crimson and the other light crimson, and both of them bowed their hands to Li Xuan at the same time: "Lord Wang!" ”

"Young Craftsman Xu, Young Eunuch Jiang." Li Xuan returned the salute.

Xu Ling will be a young craftsman; During the river period, the capital water was a young eunuch.

Xu Ling was sent to Hezhou very early to establish an ordnance factory, build all the crossbows and arrows used in the big war, repair damaged bows and crossbows, and try his best to support the front line.

It can't be that all the bows and crossbows that are lacking on the front line of the army can be transferred from Chang'an, and I don't know how much time it will take to delay in the middle.

The army is fighting, the fighter plane is fleeting, how can there be that kung fu waiting for you to mobilize ordnance from the rear.

Therefore, it became necessary to build an ordnance factory on the shore of Bingling Lake, and it was so important that it was necessary to transfer a general from the fourth rank to be in charge.

As for Jiang Shi, the young eunuch of Dushui from Wupin, he was transferred later, and he also did some previous surveys of the water conditions of the Yellow River.

It is his responsibility to make the most of the Yellow River for grain and grass transportation and how to minimize the impact of the Yellow River on grain and grass transportation.

Mapping the topography of mountains and rivers and finding feasible paths is a secret job.

When Huang Rensu, the former envoy of Dushui, was still a young eunuch of Dushui, he once took advantage of the envoy to Tibet to draw a large number of topographic maps of the mountains and rivers of Tubo.

With this credit, he firmly sat on the official position of Dushui Envoy, and now he was directly promoted to Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

"Ten days, it is only to Kuozhou, to Xunhua, our current end point is Jianzha, not to mention that once we go west, the risk is greater, the road is more rugged and difficult, it takes longer, and even once we reach Guide, it will take twenty days to a month to deliver military rations." Li Xuan shook his head slightly, and said: "The time in between still needs to be shortened, even if it is only shortened by one day, it will be of great benefit to the army to fight." ”

"The lower officials are just working, how to do it, it is up to the prince and Brother Jiang to arrange." Xu Ling's face was calm.

Li Xuan nodded with some surprise satisfaction and said, "That's right, this king has some ideas here, but it needs to be verified on the spot before it can be finalized...... The king of tomorrow is going to Xunjianzha, and the two of them will go with this king, and let's explore the Yellow River Jiuqu and Eighteen Bays! ”

"Whoa!" Xu Ling and Jiang Qi surrendered at the same time.

Li Xuan stood in front of the camp tent, and behind him were the ordnance factory and shipyard.

A few miles to the west are the mountains.

The Yellow River rushed out of it at a very fast speed, and when it came to the impact of Bingling Lake, the water power gradually decreased, and the water flow slowed down.

With such a waterway, it is not easy to sail in the wrong direction.
