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

Chapter 490 Sending someone to die, who is the governor

Inside the Fang's ancestral hall, Duan Baoxuan sat at the head with a worried expression.

Sitting on the lower left side, Li Xuan watched Huai Jin take orders and turn to leave, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Turning around, he looked at Duan Baoxuan, and asked with surprise: "Captain, isn't Captain Huai not aware of the strangeness?"

"How could he not be aware of it? Today's traitor's vanguard has too many soldiers and strong combat power, and he has suffered a big loss. If he still can't notice it, he will not be the captain of Zhechong."

As he said that, Duan Baoxuan snorted coldly, and then scolded unceremoniously: "He is an idiot, he has too much connection with that side, even if there is only a letter from there, he has to act according to the other party's instructions."

Although Huaijin was a mighty general, he was able to become the captain of Zhechong of Kuaiji Prefecture, more because of Qiu Shenji's matchmaking.

Behind Qiu Shenji, stood Empress Wu's most trusted demon Daoming Chongyan.

Therefore, in many cases, even if Huai Jin sensed that something was wrong, he still had to act according to the request of the other party.

At most, they use Li Xuan and Duan Baoxuan as shields to delay it.

"What about Kuaiji government soldiers?" Li Xuan looked at Duan Baoxuan worriedly.

"It's okay, he can only mobilize his own troops." Duan Baoxuan waved his hand not very concerned.

In addition to Captain Zhechong Huaijin, Kuaiji Mansion also has two Captains Guoyi, each of whom controls a regiment of soldiers.

Duan Baoxuan's methods are sophisticated, and with the blessing of the Holy Will, he has already controlled the other two captains of Guoyi.

Moreover, Duan Baoxuan still has the right to kill first and play later.

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the situation is not in chaos, as for Huai Jin, Li Xuan wished that he and Qiu Shenji could get closer.

……

"For the time being, under the strict order of the governor, he dare not mess around." Duan Baoxuan changed the topic, and then looked at Li Xuan seriously: "How is the situation in Muzhou now?"

Li Xuan quickly picked up an official document from the side and handed it to Duan Baoxuan.

"This is what my subordinates have been doing in the state city for the past few days. The governor's previous instructions have been arranged, and there are other things that have been done by the district office."

Duan Baoxuan read the official document carefully, nodded slightly, looked at Li Xuan and asked, "What do you think is the most difficult thing in Muzhou now?"

"It's the magistrates of the counties." Li Xuan directly pointed out the biggest trouble, shaking his head, and said: "The magistrates of the counties were all killed and sacrificed to the flags at the beginning of the Tianyin Sect's uprising. No one was spared. Now the state government can only control the counties, and the remote control of the counties acts on behalf of the county magistrates, and there are too many differences."

Inspectors and county magistrates are the highest officials in each prefecture and county. The other Caos, chief historians, and Sima are nothing more than assistant officials.

Only Li Xuan, the other party, has the right to act as the governor.

Without the governor and county magistrate, everything is staggering.

"The governor can't do it either, I can only ask the prince to go down more, so that the people can feel the king's return." Duan Baoxuan shook his head slightly.

Although he could forcibly appoint someone as an imperial envoy to review the county magistrate, the Ministry of Officials would definitely not admit it in the end.

In comparison, his appointment is much more useful for those adjutant officials such as Cao Junjun, Chang Shi, and Sima.

……

"The next day, the lower officials will hold a land sacrifice ceremony, can the governor rush back?" Li Xuan subconsciously looked outside the door.

Duan Baoxuan chuckled, and said: "Nephew, don't worry, the Governor will stay here forever. He won't go into the mountains easily, and he won't return to Muzhou. The rest will depend on Nephew to transport food, grass and military equipment."

"Little nephew will definitely live up to his trust." Li Xuan nodded solemnly.

"My nephew has always done things properly, but the governor still wants to remind my nephew to be careful. The real difficulties in Muzhou's matter have not yet begun. If the situation calms down, countless people will rush in from outside the state to collude Officials, divide the fields, rob property..."

"It's nothing more than killing." Li Xuan's eyes instantly became serious, but he said in an extremely soft voice: "My nephew has no hope of doing meritorious service on the front line, so I can only kill a few heads for fun in the rear... Maybe, it's okay. Charge some people with conspiracy and treason."

"Nephew, just remember to cut the weeds and get rid of the roots." Duan Baoxuan said very casually.

Only Yao Zhi was on the side, fidgeting restlessly.

How could Yao Zhi not understand the real threat Duan Baoxuan mentioned.

That said, they are the Wuyue family.

If the King of Nanchang just frustrates their plans, even if they kill a few people, those people will entangle them endlessly, and even retaliate wildly, but if the King of Nanchang seizes the opportunity and charges them with treason, With Nanchang King's killing methods, all of them will definitely be killed, and the crime of treason will be detained to death.

If it's just the former, those Wuyue families don't care at all.

It's nothing more than a few people dying.

But if they are related to treason and then they are targeted by the emperor, then even if they don't die, they will have to be stripped of several layers of skin.

In fact, Yao Zhi knew that Li Xuan and Duan Baoxuan said this in front of his face just to let him pass on a message.

If someone really doesn't listen and wants to test whether the blade is sharp, then the King of Nanchang will definitely use a human head to prove that his nickname of "Ten Thousand Massacre" is not false.

"The matter of the state city is handled by the lord, but it is Tianyin Sect's main altar in the mountain. It may not be easy to take it down." Duan Baoxuan sighed softly, frowning slightly.

Li Xuan raised her head and glanced at Yao Zhi, Yao Zhi immediately understood, stood up and cupped her hands and said, "I still have something to deal with, so I will take my leave for the time being."

"En!" Duan Baoxuan nodded slightly.

Seeing Yao Zhi exit the ancestral hall, Li Xuan looked at Duan Baoxuan, and said in a solemn tone: "According to Baiqisi's information, the Tianyin Sect left at least 3000 corpses under the Beiye City. disease, they come from the east, at least there are more than 6000 people.”

Huai Jin judged that there were only more than 2000 remnants of the Tianyin Sect left, but Li Xuan said with certainty: No, the number is far more than three times.

"Also, the number of government soldiers supported by Huangshan Mansion is probably less than 500, or even less." Li Xuan shook his head helplessly. Qiu Shenji brought much fewer people than he said. .

"Qiu Shenji has always liked to take risks, and he is extremely gambler. He is probably trying to lure the Kuaiji government soldiers as a cover, and then he will stab directly from behind. If he succeeds, he will succeed, and if he fails, others will bear greater responsibility. " Duan Baoxuan sneered.

He had dealt with Qiu Xinggong before, that guy's temperament was like this, Qiu Shenji was just in the same line.

"The more dangers you take, the greater the risk you will encounter. If you don't pay attention, the entire army may be wiped out." Li Xuan's expression was very cautious.

Duan Baoxuan said calmly: "But the greater the risk, the easier it is to win."

Li Xuan looked at Duan Baoxuan cautiously, and persuaded in a low voice: "In Tianmu Mountain, the mountain road is rugged and difficult, and it is very easy to set up an ambush. At this moment, the road leading to the main altar in Tianyinjiao Mountain is probably covered with countless traps. Our army only needs to step by step and fight steadily, even if it takes a little more time, we will be able to trap the younger ones in the main altar, and then destroy them in one fell swoop."

"It's good to play steadily, I'm afraid I don't have the time." Duan Baoxuan shook his head slightly and looked at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan immediately understood who was behind the urging, and he said carefully: "But if it fails, it will easily affect the overall situation."

Duan Baoxuan said calmly: "Is there any way to do this? Although the governor is the governor of Yuezhou, he doesn't have too many restrictions on the captain of Zhechong. Although he can be forced to obey orders, in many cases, even if there are orders First of all, Captain Huai will inevitably have a reason to act rashly."

Just like before, Huaijin retreated his troops to the depths of the mountain road five miles without authorization, and eventually lost his troops and lost his generals.

Duan Baoxuan is a seasoned person, once something happens, his responsibility will be cast aside faster than anyone else.

Li Xuan sighed softly, and said: "Lieutenant Huai Du is a fierce general after all, he led the attack with his own force, I believe that even if there is a trap, Lieutenant Huai Du will definitely be able to break out of the trap, such a fierce general, the world I'm afraid I won't see you very often."

Duan Baoxuan nodded slightly, that's why he tolerated Huaijin.

Even Qiu Shenji fell in love with him because of this.

"In this way, the governor sits in the rear, separates the troops, and controls the speed of the various roads. Captain Huai, let him charge and fall." Li Xuan couldn't help but forced a smile. Some people insisted on sending themselves to death. No one else can stop it.

Huaijin is now a chess piece, Qiu Shenji regards him as a chess piece, Duan Baoxuan and Li Xuan also regard him as a chess piece.

Even a bait, an abandoned child.

"Why bother thinking about it, a person has his own destiny." Duan Baoxuan looked very calm.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "Indeed, even if I wait for nothing, he will definitely reach that point... Even if I wait for him to help him, he may not turn the prodigal son back, so let him go .”

Duan Baoxuan raised his head, looked at Li Xuan, smiled slightly, and said in admiration: "The prince is much smarter than the prince, if the prince can see through people's hearts like the prince, the old prince can rest assured."

"Brother Wang's nature is simple and respectful. It's not a bad thing." Li Xuan shook her head slightly.

Li Xu, the eldest son of King Huo, has a generous temperament, and his heart is sinister, so he'd better not take it too seriously.

After all, in the eyes of the emperor, this kind of person is the most reassuring.

"As for Lieutenant Huaidu, everything is left to fate and depends on his own good fortune." Duan Baoxuan raised his head, looked at Li Xuan, and said with a serious expression: "But if something happens to Lieutenant Huaidu, then the prince will have to step up, and the prince will need to take care of him." be prepared."

"Little nephew knows it well." Li Xuan raised his head and said in a low voice: "Now, Muzhou and Shezhou are attacking from two sides, as long as they don't get too impatient and wipe out the whole army, then the ending of the traitor will not change. Now What needs to be guarded against is that they dock their tails to survive.

That's what they did back then. We may be able to kill Empress Dowager, but we may not be able to block all her escape routes. "

"Nephew, don't worry, someone will take care of you when the time comes, and we just need to do our part."

Duan Baoxuan tapped lightly, Li Xuan immediately understood, cupped his hands and said in a low voice: "My nephew understands."

The Empress's strength has already surpassed the Mysterious Embryo Realm, how could Li Xuan and Qiu Shenji be able to fight against it.

If you want to kill her, you have to be ruthless.

"Frontline, nephew, don't go, go back now, Your Majesty has great expectations for the people's livelihood in Muzhou, Your Majesty, please don't let Your Majesty down." Duan Baoxuan had already begun to see off the guests.

Li Xuan immediately stood up, cupped her hands and said, "My nephew must do my best. As long as my nephew is around, everything will be fine. It's just that people who come later may not be able to see through the risks involved."

"Does the lord want to ask who will be the governor's successor?" Duan Baoxuan smiled, looked at Li Xuan and said, "This person is an acquaintance of the lord, don't worry, the lord will definitely not disappoint the lord, let alone His Majesty. disappointment."

"Oh?" Li Xuan frowned, his acquaintance.

There are not many people who can see things like fields and acres thoroughly, and those who can continue his policies are even rarer.

Such a character, you only need to guess, and you can guess who it is?

Li Xuan raised his head fiercely, his eyes full of horror.

How is it possible, how is it him?

Duan Baoxuan was just smiling lightly.
