Chapter 21: You Seem to Be Pleased
Sanyang County, Lufu.
"Senior brother is a superb chess player, I lost." Lu Xuan casually threw Bai Zi into the chess cup and said with a smile.
"The victory or defeat is not scored, the sect leader is only slightly inferior, but it is not enough to say that he lost." Li Xingyi shook his head while collecting chess and said: "I don't want the sect master to have such attainments in chess, and I admire it." ”
"Don't talk about this, inform the governor of Longxing County, the people along the river will evacuate inward, and the downstream counties will also retreat, and the Guiyi Sect members are responsible for assisting the army in handling this matter." Lu Xuan knocked on the table and said.
"The imperial court is going to send troops?" When Li Xingzhi heard this, he instantly understood what Lu Xuan meant, although there was no news from Kamikaze Hall, there was another intelligence agency in Lu Xuan's hands.
"Hmm." Lu Xuan nodded: "This time the Mu family did a good job in Yanzhou, Yanzhou was taken down in almost a few months, this Mu Wenyun's methods are much better than mine." ”
Of course, there is also a problem of identity, Mu Wenyun himself is a member of the Yanzhou Shi clan, he first persuaded everyone to let the Guiyi Sect come in to preach, so that the Guiyi Sect began to have a popular base, and then began to liquidate in the name of the Guiyi Sect, so that these scholars were lucky, and came to dredge one by one, but Mu Wenyun kept it in his heart, and then went to investigate, and he did not attack it immediately, but lured them in step by step, and then caught them all, which was reasonable and well-founded, which was much more convincing than Lu Xuan's.
Lu Xuan's set will be scary, but it is difficult to win the hearts of the people, and Mu Wenyun's set of operations not only achieved the desired goal, but also established his own popular support, and then the Guiyi Sect divided the land in a big way, completely controlling the hearts of the people in each county.
However, it is really a bit frightening for this literati to start a ruthless attack, at the beginning Lu Xuan said that he could keep one percent, but the Mu family sorted out this round by round, and the remaining Yanzhou Shi clan may not even be half a percent, according to the internal statistics of the Guiyi Sect, many places even have thousands of acres of fertile land in large households.
"The things that the sect leader has mastered are much more attractive than those of the imperial court." Li Xingzhi said with a smile, the imperial court uses luck, which can only be used after being sorted out by Confucianism, but the luck after being washed by the mountain and river seal is difficult to resist for monks, especially for people like Mu Wenyun, who have half of his body in the ground, and the feeling is probably more intuitive than others.
Lu Xuan nodded: "But this time, I'm afraid someone will notice the clue." ”
The abnormal behavior of the Mu family will only feel that the brain is broken, but those who know the existence of the mountain and river seal are afraid that they can guess what happened, the mountains and rivers of the past dynasties have been controlled by the Dao League, and there must be something happening, he does not believe that none of the founding monarchs of the past dynasties have discovered the secret of the mountain and river seal, this thing is easy to detect.
Many of the founding kings of the past dynasties were from famous families and knew luck, even if the founding kings of the Great Qianguo were cut off in advance, but it is impossible to be like this in all dynasties, right?
Li Xingzhi nodded silently, Lu Xuan told him about this, Da Qian is not terrible, not to mention that Da Qian is actually in a state of division now, and it is difficult to gather all his strength to deal with the Gui Yi Sect like seven years ago, but the threat of the Dao Alliance is great.
The unknown is the most terrifying, and they know too little about the Dao Alliance.
"What are you looking for me for?" Just when the two were relatively speechless, Zhang Yuanrou and Bao'er came side by side, looked at the two sitting opposite each other and asked.
"The imperial court is coming to attack, and I have something to ask my senior sister for." Lu Xuan said with a smile.
"I'm very busy, your flying boat is a little eyebrow now, but it's not perfect enough, and I always feel that there are shortcomings." Zhang Yuanrou was a little irritable and said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly." ”
"I'm going to have a water attack and use the power of the Yunhe River to destroy the imperial army, and now it's the middle of winter, and I need my senior sister to build a dam upstream, and I can't let the court's exploration horses notice." Lu Xuan said with a smile.
It is not difficult to build a dam to store water, but the difficult thing is how to make the probe horses of the imperial army undetectable, which involves the blind spot of the knowledge of Lu Xuan's vulgar martial artists, and it must be covered by a formation.
"To what extent?" Zhang Yuanrou thought for a while and asked.
"It's best to see the realm martial arts can't even detect it." Lu Xuan said with a smile.
"It's not a big problem to cover up the dam, but it's impossible to cover up the drop in the water level." Zhang Yuanrou frowned.
At least she, a Taoist priest in the Yuan Infant Stage who is proficient in formations, refining weapons, and alchemy, does not have this ability.
"It's the middle of winter, and as long as you do it before the river thaws, everyone will only think that this year's water level is like this, and it will be difficult to detect it if you don't survey it carefully." Lu Xuan looked at Zhang Yuanrou and smiled.
"Okay, leave this matter to me, I'll take the disciples to investigate, and I'll give you the results tomorrow." After speaking, Zhang Yuanrou looked at Bao'er and said, "Bao'er, do you want to experience the newly made flying boat together?" ”
"Okay!" Bao'er blinked and nodded.
"Didn't you say there weren't?" Li Xingzhi was stunned.
"It's not unsuitable for mass production, and the finished product is still available." Zhang Yuanrou hastily explained, and left with Bao'er.
"It seems that on the side of the imperial army, the sect leader has a countermeasure." Li Xingzhi looked at Lu Xuan and smiled.
"The ordinary army will pass in a big flood, and on the other side's masters, I am ready to send Mu Feixue to go, and I, Yang Ao and the second senior brother will go all out to deal with the border army." Lu Xuan nodded.
"Is Mu Feixue too reluctant to be alone?" Li Xingzhi frowned.
"Enough, I have a way to deal with it on the court side." Lu Xuan said with a smile.
When Li Xingzhi heard this, he didn't ask any more, since Lu Xuan had already made arrangements, he must have made sure that Tiandu would send Mu Feixue alone, but he was still a little curious about what Lu Xuan's back hand was.
"Okay, the matter of evacuating the people will bother the senior brother."
"Yes, the subordinates retired."
In the following days, Lu Xuan's side was still dominated by Yanzhou, and a large number of talents from Lu Xuan's reserves in the past seven years began to rush to various parts of Yanzhou, either to establish rudder missions, or to directly take over the city.
The people around him obviously felt that Lu Xuan seemed to be in a particularly good mood these days.
Not only here, but also in Tiandu.
"General, you seem to be in a very good mood lately." Niu Ba, who followed the little gray skin in southern Xinjiang to eat, looked at Lu Xuan curiously: "Is something good happening?" ”
"Yes?" Lu Xuan said with a smile.
"yes, yes?" Gu Hui looked at Lu Xuan's face blankly, feeling no different from usual, and turned her head to look at Niu Ba: "How can you see it?" ”
"Do you still need to see this? In the past, you brought us over for dinner, and the general had a good face? Niu Ba said speechlessly.
"yes, you're so smart!" Gu Hui looked at Niu Ba suddenly and with some surprise.
Niu Ba: "......"
Suddenly it felt like an insult.
"General, now that the whole court and the central government are preparing for the attack on the Guiyi Sect, who do you say will be in command this time?" Zhou Tong held back a smile and changed the topic.
"Then you need to ask? Naturally, it is the general who is in charge. Niu Ba said with a smile, Lu Xuan has not sent troops since he was promoted to General Dangkou, and Lu Xuan is a five-grade master, no matter how he is arranged, this time Lu Xuan should be in command on the Tiandu side.
"It doesn't matter who is in charge, what matters is how to get the benefits." Lu Xuan noticed that Xie Kui was coming over with a drink, and said with a smile: "The big war is together, ten thousand taels of gold, it is rare that officials from all parties are willing to support this war this time, the benefits must be enough, as for who is in charge, it doesn't matter." ”
"Why doesn't it matter, taking Yunzhou, this is a great achievement, if the general can get this credit, it is not too much to be promoted to the second grade, right?" Zhou Tong disagreed.
"You guys, your eye sockets are too shallow." Lu Xuan nodded at the table and said, "Do you think the second grade is so good?" Even if you go up, most of it is a false position, maybe the military power will have to be cut some, but the benefits of getting it are real, whether it is cultivation or other things, it is all your own, how many times do you want me to teach you the truth of being safe? ”
"General, you just value money too much." Gu Hui on the side interjected.
Lu Xuan glanced at her strangely.
Gu Hui felt that something was wrong, and pointed to Zhou Tong on the side: "He told me." ”
"...... you" Zhou Tong looked at the little gray skin of Southern Xinjiang who betrayed him without hesitation, and hurriedly said: "General, misunderstanding, you know me, how dare I arrange the general in private?" ”
"Alright." Lu Xuan waved his hand and said: "If you have money, let's get the meat of the two demon beasts to eat first, I heard that there is a kind of demon beast in the Hengduan Mountains, its shape is like a sheep, the sound is like thunder, it is easy to swallow gold, and the food can increase strength, and the taste is delicious." ”
The apprehension on the face of the little gray skin in Southern Xinjiang instantly turned into excitement: "What kind of demon beast is this, I grew up in Southern Xinjiang, but I have never heard of it." ”
"I don't know, I heard someone say it in the spring a few days ago." Lu Xuan shook his head: "That's why you want to eat." ”
"General, let's go get some money! Do you want to hit someone? I'll help you! The little gray skin of southern Xinjiang instantly forgot everything before.
"Don't worry, reaping benefits and beating people are two different things." Lu Xuan took the wine jug handed by Xie Kui, shook his head and said, "This matter has to be decided first." ”
"Then you hurry up and decide."
"Where is that fast?" Niu Ba complained, this little gray skin can do anything for stuttering.
"You have to wait until after the beginning of spring, you don't have to slack off, now Gu Hui alone can beat you all, and the old man is not ashamed." Lu Xuan glanced at Niu Ba and said.
"She is a divine beast in our army, different from people!" Niu Ba glanced at the little gray skin, the Pixiu Banner was made especially for her, but the beast head on it was made according to Gu Hui's appearance, and no one dared to take it out.
"What divine beast?" Gu Hui looked at everyone blankly.
"It's nothing, you look so good today!"
In the following days, the imperial court was actively preparing for war, and Yunzhou seemed to be aware of the movement of the imperial court, and began to migrate the people in the Longxing area, and transferred troops to the Longxing area.
In this regard, the Chinese military of the DPRK is just disdainful, just a thief, even if you see the intentions of the imperial court, what can you do? The border army and Tiandu sent troops at the same time, not to mention the number of masters, the soldiers and horses alone absolutely crushed the Guiyi Sect anti-thieves, and they even wanted to resist, which is really ridiculous.
