People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 484 Marching differences, Confucianism

In the lobby of the Muzhou government office, under the mirror hung high above the plaque, Duan Baoxuan, dressed in a vermilion official robe, looked at the crowd with a solemn expression, and spoke in a deep voice.

"In this way, Muzhou has fallen, and we have something to say to the center and the saint, but if we want things to be successful, we still have to completely destroy the main altar of the Tianyin sect, and capture and kill the leader of the bandit, the empress Tianyin. So, how Let’s march, let’s discuss it now.”

After finishing speaking, Duan Baoxuan looked at everyone with fierce eyes, and the pressure immediately shrouded everyone.

"Captain!" Huaijin was the first to stand up, and he bowed his hands to Duan Baoxuan: "Captain, if the main force of the Yin Sect is attacking Shezhou today, the Queen of Tianyin is also in Shezhou, so the general feels that, We should go straight to the main force of Tianyin in Shezhou, make a surprise attack from behind, and flank each other with the various ministries of Shezhou, so as to defeat the rebels' troops together, capture the rebels, and succeed in one fell swoop."

When Huai Jin was speaking, he kept staring at Duan Baoxuan, but when he finished speaking, Duan Baoxuan not only didn't have any joy, but frowned slightly.

All the people present were veterans in the officialdom, what Huai Jin said was the right way on the battlefield, but Duan Baoxuan was not satisfied with this so-called right way on the battlefield.

"What does the King of Nanchang think?" Duan Baoxuan turned his head to look at Li Xuan, the seriousness in his expression remained unchanged.

Li Xuan stepped forward and bowed his hands solemnly to Duan Baoxuan: "Captain, the Tianmu Mountain Road is high in the west and low in the east. We will attack Shezhou from Muzhou. If the other party is slightly prepared, the price we will pay is very likely." It is several times the normal amount, and if we encounter a battle master, it is not surprising that our entire army will be wiped out."

Upward attack, it was like this when Tianyin Sect attacked Meiling Pass before.

In the end, under Li Xuan's hands, they were disgraced and suffered more than ten thousand injuries.

Everyone present immediately understood the meaning of Li Xuan's words, and their expressions immediately became solemn.

Huai Jin couldn't help but wanted to refute Li Xuan, but at this time, Li Xuan continued to speak: "Captain, according to my subordinates, if we want to attack Shezhou, we need to take several steps. The first step is As Lieutenant Huai Du said, approaching quickly, but the target is going straight to Tianyin's lair."

"Abandoning the goal of Shezhou and taking the Tianyin General Altar instead, the King of Nanchang's idea is really unique!" Huaijin stabbed Li Xuan in a strange way. He wanted to close up with Qiushenji in Shezhou very quickly and solve the crisis in Shezhou. But Li Xuan wanted to put aside the Shezhou side and go straight to Tianyin Sect's lair.

In this way, Shezhou will bear all the attacks of Tianyin Sect in a short period of time.

Qiu Shen is in danger.

"Besiege Wei and save Zhao, hasn't Lieutenant Huai read the art of war?" Li Xuan coldly rebuked Huai further.

Beiye has already fallen, and the Tianyin Sect is advancing towards Shezhou City. It is too late for them to rescue at this moment.

Compared to attacking Shezhou, which had been prepared for a long time, it is better to attack the main altar of Tianyin Sect, which is empty of troops.

Huai Jin didn't know the news about Bei Ye for the time being, so he looked at Li Xuan coldly, and said bluntly: "If this is the case, once the reinforcements from the Tianyin Sect return to the main altar, wouldn't we be under the attack of the other party? .”

"That's why we have this second step." Li Xuan turned to look at Duan Baoxuan, and said solemnly: "The mountain road is rough and difficult, first select a group of sharp and sharp soldiers, go straight ahead quickly, and go straight to the main altar of Tianyin Sect. The person under it takes a slow step, and if someone inserts it at this time, it will just attack back and forth."

Li Xuan cupped his hands inward, his intention has been clearly shown.

If the Tianyin Sect tried to pinch us back and forth, then we would follow the plan and pinch the opponent back and forth.

Once you win, you can easily choose whether to attack Shezhou or continue to attack Tianyin General Altar.

Huai Jin looked at Li Xuan, with a look of fear in his eyes, and said solemnly: "If you want to succeed like this, you need enough trust from the generals on both sides... How about if the king of Nanchang makes a surprise attack in front, and the final general will be postponed?" ?”

"The captain was joking. Although this king is appointed as Wuzhou Biejia, he only has a few Wuzhou conscripts under his command. How can he take on such a heavy responsibility?" Li Xuan glanced at Huaijin, then turned to look at Duan Baoxuan, cupped his hands and said: " From the point of view of the officials below, if Captain Huai charged forward and the governor stayed behind, this would ensure that there is no problem, and at the same time avoid some villainous minds."

Huai Jin's complexion immediately darkened at the word "a villain's heart",
Just as Huai Jin was about to say something, Duan Baoxuan waved his hand suddenly, and said: "What the King of Nanchang said is reasonable, what we are going to do is not to capture and kill the empress, as the descendants of the empress are in Shezhou, the king's governor and Qiu Changshi will not let him go easily." It ran away, and we just needed to fight steadily to break through the total..."

Before Duan Baoxuan finished speaking, a soldier in red and silver armor had already entered from the outside quickly.

An official document was immediately placed on Duan Baoxuan's desk.

Duan Baoxuan frowned, and directly opened the official document in front of everyone.

Before reading the content of the official document, Duan Baoxuan's face was already filled with shock.

Duan Baoxuan has always been indifferent to emotions, but Li Xuan was shocked because his city was so uncontrollable, what was written in the official document?
"Captain, what happened?" Yao Zhi stood up in surprise.

Duan Baoxuan handed the official document in his hand to Yao Zhi, then looked at the crowd and said: "Just half a day ago, the Tianyin rebels were defeated under Beiye County, Qiu Changshi was leading the troops to pursue, and the enemy was retreating quickly. Huizhe Mountain Road, they hope that we can quickly attack from behind."

"Look, isn't this what the general said, Commander, give the order, the general will immediately lead his army to the enemy's retreat." Huai Jin didn't care about targeting Li Xuan now, he made this great effort to the death hold in hand

After reading the official document, the other people present were all eager to move.

Only Li Xuan frowned slightly after reading the memorial, with puzzlement and shock on his face.

The expression on his face was very similar to the expression on Duan Baoxuan's.

"What does the King of Nanchang think?" Duan Baoxuan looked at Li Xuan with a solemn expression.

Li Xuan took a breath, then looked at Duan Baoxuan and said, "Captain, in this situation, it is better to stay still and not to move. It is better to set up an arrow array at the exit of the mountain road and wait for the Tianyin sect bandits to protrude from the mountain. .”

There was a trace of cruelty in Li Xuan's eyes.

The veteran general Huai entered the battlefield, and immediately heard the strangeness in Li Xuan's words: "The king of Nanchang thought that after the bandits from the Tianyin Sect came out of the Huizhe Mountain Road, they would go straight to Muzhou and try to take back Muzhou. city, is that so?"

Li Xuan nodded seriously, but Huai Jin laughed a little. He looked at Li Xuan, and said very bluntly: "If the Yin Sect is about to retreat today, how can they have the energy to counterattack Muzhou, and now it is rushing forward. At the moment of the battle, the King of Nanchang fears the enemy like a tiger."

Huai Jin's last sentence was a blunt reprimand, but there was a layer of deep malice hidden behind it.

A deep murderous intent flashed in the corner of Li Xuan's eyes, he turned around, looked at Duan Baoxuan, cupped his hands and said, "Captain, since Captain Huai is so confident, you might as well follow what Captain Huai said and send troops to enter the mountain road first."

A glint of complacency flashed in Huai Jin's eyes, he immediately cupped his hands and looked at Duan Baoxuan, begging sincerely: "Commander, the last general..."

"Needless to say, according to what the King of Nanchang said, set up an army in the Weiping area of ​​Xishan, and when the Tianyin bandits attack, they will be wiped out in one fell swoop."

Duan Baoxuan looked at Huaijin coldly, and sternly shouted: "Captain Huai, you are not allowed to lead your troops alone, otherwise, you will have to taste the strength of the governor's sword."

Duan Baoxuan, the governor of Yuezhou, was granted by the imperial decree. General Wei, the left leader of the inspection school, faked a festival axe, supervised the military affairs of the six prefectures, and quelled the civil unrest in the prefectures.

Officials of the six states who do not follow their orders can be killed first and then played.

Although Huaijin was the captain of Zhechong in the Kuaiji Prefecture, he was under Duan Baoxuan's control, and if he disobeyed his orders, he would be beheaded.

"The last general takes the order." Huai Jin suppressed the anger in his heart, and accepted the order.

His eyes subconsciously swept over Li Xuan, but he couldn't help but feel a little doubt in his heart, as if something was wrong.

Duan Baoxuan, a veteran general in the Western Regions, how could he not see how to march.

Although the king of Nanchang was young, in the battle in Wuzhou, the Tianyin sect suffered tens of thousands of soldiers, and his vision, ability and wrist were first-rate.

If it is said that the King of Nanchang was trying to get angry with him, then Duan Baoxuan must not be here.

The two people actually have the same opinion. Could it be that there is something he doesn't know?
……

Li Xuan saw the surprise and doubt on Huai Jin's face at a glance, but her heart was calm.

Although he was a little annoyed and wanted to get in, but Duan Baoxuan didn't give him this chance at all.

That's right, even if Duan Baoxuan didn't take Huaijin seriously, he wouldn't take the thousands of soldiers in the entire Kuaiji Mansion seriously.

Now the question is, why did Shezhou send such a completely different official document from Baiqisi?

"Command Colonel Yan to lead his army to continue hunting down the demon girls of Tianyin Sect; in addition, Sima, deploy soldiers in the Shaping area of ​​Pingmen to prevent the opponent from killing a carbine." Duan Baoxuan turned his head and looked at Yao Zhi. Zhi stepped forward immediately: "This subordinate takes orders."

Duan Baoxuan turned to look at Hangzhou Sima Yuanyi, Hangzhou Naval Commander Ji Xiao, Taizhou Sima Jiamu, Wuzhou Facao Du Bixing and others, and said in a deep voice: "All armies are arrayed behind the Kuaiji government soldiers. Reinforce at any time, follow the formation to block the enemy. "

"The next officer obeys the order!" Everyone present did not hesitate at all, and immediately handed over their promises.

Everyone can hear that a big battle is about to start in the Weiping area of ​​Xishan, the exit of Huizhe Mountain Road.

Taking a breath, Duan Baoxuan looked slightly relieved, and then looked at everyone and said: "The next thing is the matter of Muzhou. Muzhou was in a military turmoil, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty issued an order: Immediately appoint a general counselor, Li Xuan, the king of Nanchang County, as the next step. Muzhou appeasement envoys, to appease the local area, bring back the hearts of the people, and at the same time transfer food and grass, and deal with everything, just like the trip of the governor, if there is any obstacle, they can be arrested immediately, but if there is resistance, they will be killed first and then played."

"I will obey the decree." When everyone present saw Duan Baoxuan handing out the imperial decree, they immediately bowed and agreed.

Fortunately, it is an edict, not an edict, an edict, or an announcement, just hand it over, and there is no need to kneel down.

Li Xuan took a step forward and took the order.

Duan Baoxuan stretched out his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and then looked at Li Xuan: "The king of Nanchang has been appointed as the pacifier of Muzhou. I wonder if there is a strategy to deal with it?"

"I have three strategies." Li Xuan cupped his hands forward, looked at Duan Baoxuan, and at the same time looked at everyone present: "The incident in Wuzhou was mainly caused by the spread of faith by the Tianyin rebels in Wuzhou, so in order to prevent the recurrence of today's incident in the future It is inevitable to put an end to the belief of Goddess Tianyin, and the governor has already summoned all kinds of monks and Taoists to come to Wuzhou to preach, this is a great act, and the officials admire it."

"The king of Nanchang has already said that this move is also learned from what the king of Nanchang did in Wuzhou. It is not worthy of praise. Please speak frankly about the other two strategies of the king of Nanchang." Duan Baoxuan looked at Li Xuan seriously.

The reason why he recommended Li Xuan as the pacifier of Muzhou was not only because of Li Xuan's status as the county king, but also because of what he did against Tianyin Sect in Wuzhou. Faith is uprooted.

This method has never been done by any state official in the past.

It can be seen that the King of Nanchang has his own unique experience in dealing with Tianyin Sect.

He hopes to replicate it in Muzhou.

Li Xuan cupped his hands, looked at Duan Baoxuan with a serious expression, and said, "Commander, the spread of Buddhism and Daoism is just one of the strategies against the rebels in the sky, but Buddhism is not a heretical way, but it is the right way to win people's hearts , or have Confucianism and Taoism.

The subordinates suggested that the governor should choose a site and build a new state school in Muzhou.

Muzhou children, under the age of 24, who have a certain degree of knowledge, regardless of high or low, can go to school for further studies, and even those with excellent grades can also be funded by the state government and sent to Chang'an to participate in the spring imperial examinations over the years. , This is the blessing of Muzhou and the imperial court. "

"Confucianism and Taoism, re-learning state studies, regardless of high or low, can enroll." Duan Baoxuan muttered these words, then looked up at Li Xuan, and praised softly: "The king of Nanchang is indeed extremely intelligent, insightful, and able to persevere. If you follow the right path, you will surely become a pillar of power in the future."

Huai Jin on the side looked at Li Xuan full of surprise.

It's really interesting that the king of Nanchang came together with such civil servants.
