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

Chapter 497 Ming Chongyan, Maoshan Taoist

Qiu Shenji bid farewell to Huaijin and returned to his tent.

After ordering his personal guards to guard the door, Qiu Shenji got into the tent.

"The king of Nanchang has arrived?" A soft voice suddenly sounded in the tent.

Qiu Shenji immediately stood still, faced the corner of the tent, and cupped his hands solemnly: "My lord, the King of Nanchang has arrived, and he is telling Duan Duan how to defeat the enemy."

Wearing a lavender Taoist robe, a lotus flower crown on his head, and holding a dust whisk in his hand, Ming Chongyan, with a face as white as jade, came out from the corner.

He walked to the table with a calm expression, put his hands under the table, then raised his head and looked at Qiu Shenji: "If you follow the strategy offered by the King of Nanchang, you can really win Heilongling, after the saint and the queen heard about it, , I don’t know how happy it will be.”

"The real person is too worried. The King of Nanchang is just offering a plan. In the end, we are the ones who really attacked the mountain. As long as there is a slight discrepancy in the narration, things will be different. Besides, the King of Nanchang is also aware of the power of this matter. He should avoid suspicion." He will definitely avoid suspicion, that's why he asked Duan Duan to drive others out, leaving him alone to offer advice."

"It's such a pity." Ming Chongyan brought this matter up with one word, he looked at Qiu Shenji, and said solemnly: "There must be no mistakes in the matter of arresting the queen."

"Don't worry, real man. After taking Heilongling, the King of Nanchang should return to Muzhou City. According to him, Muzhou is in danger, so it's true." Qiu Shenji looked emotional for a while, his eyes full of pity.

"Inappropriate." Ming Chongyan's words surprised Qiu Shenji. He had already done his best in Muzhou, but even if Li Xuan didn't want to go back, why is it inappropriate now?

Sitting there, without raising his head to look at Qiu Shenji, Ming Chongyan said indifferently: "The mountains are dangerous, and it is not appropriate for the king of Nanchang to go back and forth. It is not appropriate to go to the front line, but he cannot be allowed to return to Muzhou. I will see. Let him continue to guard this Black Dragon Ridge, and transfer food and grass from the street entrance to Heilong Ridge, and then from Heilong Ridge to the Tianyin Sect General Altar, so that we can keep him safe while we watch over it."

"Your subordinate understands." Qiu Shenji immediately bowed his hand, keeping the King of Nanchang under his sight all the time. His method was simple but sophisticated.

Ming Chongyan finally raised his head, looked at Qiu Shenji, and said solemnly: "Since the Black Dragon Ridge has descended, the main altar of the Tianyin Sect is more than ten miles away...Qiu Langjun, remember not to make any deviations. You must take the Queen's head."

Qiu Shenji bowed seriously, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Zhenren, the subordinates will definitely not disappoint Zhenren."

Ming Chongyan nodded slightly, and then re-said: "Not long ago, Liu Yizhi, a member of Zhongshushe, was reprimanded by the Queen of Heaven and fell out of favor because the King of Nanchang took him a little bit in the memorial... Your Majesty said to the King of Nanchang I trust him very much, and his memorials are well written."

Qiu Shenji subconsciously said in a low voice: "27 Lang is quite a scheming man, and he has always had the image of a young man who loves the people, 'Three Autumn Grain', 'Youth Aspirations', His Majesty and the Empress all praised him a lot, and even made the Prince, King of England, Xiang Wang has learned a lot, which is really admirable."

"Although the words used by the king of Nanchang are simple, their emotions are the most touching." Ming Chongyan sighed lightly, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not mention him, since Heilongling is expected to be won, the key now is It depends on the main altar of the Tianyin Sect, Qiu Langjun, remember, the Queen of Heaven is always watching."

"Don't worry, sir, my subordinates will do their best." Qiu Shenji cupped his hands again.

"Then give it a try." Ming Chongyan said with a tinge of fear in his expression, "Let's see what level this famous Tianyin Holy Empress is."

……

Inside the big tent, Li Xuan, who knew nothing about Ming Chongyan's arrival, looked at Duan Baoxuan with a solemn expression: "Captain, if you want to capture Heilongling, it's actually nothing more than one way. Increase the number of people and the frequency of attacks at Heilongling. Consume the prepared rocks and wood on the mountain at the fastest speed."

"If that's all, the governor would have done it a long time ago, why should I wait until you come." Duan Baoxuan looked at Li Xuan angrily.

Li Xuan smiled lightly, cupped his hands, and said softly: "Captain, all the measures are to consume the defense materials prepared on the mountain as quickly as possible, so we don't need to really increase the number of people and times of attacks, let others like this Think it's fine."

Li Xuan made it clear, and Duan Baoxuan immediately reacted: "What is false is true, and what is true is false?"

Li Xuan nodded, and said softly: "It still has to be a night attack, but it can't be foolish and direct. It needs a little clever cover. It's best to be under our strong attack. Our soldiers have all arrived at the opponent's feet, but the opponent doesn't I don’t know, like this, once it explodes, it’s easy to get off.”

"How?" Duan Baoxuan immediately became interested.

Although he thought of many solutions in a flash, he believed that Li Xuan's idea was definitely the shortest and most effective.

Li Xuan smiled lightly and said, "Fire Attack."

"Fire attack?" Duan Baoxuan was taken aback for a moment, and asked in confusion: "When the west wind blows, fire attack won't work at all?"

"It depends on the skill." Li Xuan bowed her hands to Duan Baoxuan earnestly, and said, "I also ask the commander to dispatch the catapult and two teams of elite soldiers for the command of my subordinates."

"Okay, let Gong Cao join the army Li Ji and Guo Yi Captain Pei Xuan lead someone to help you." Duan Baoxuan agreed directly, and then asked immediately, "How long will it take to take Black Dragon Ridge?"

"One day and two nights." Li Xuan gave the answer without hesitation.

"Okay, if it doesn't work, be careful with military law." Duan Baoxuan's expression became solemn.

"In this case, please also grant the right of cheapness from the governor. In the camp, no one is allowed to interfere or disrupt the actions of the lower officials, and those who violate it will be executed." Li Xuan cut the words bloody.

Duan Baoxuan frowned immediately.

There must be some other purpose for Li Xuan to say these words now.

It would be interesting if someone accidentally fell into his trap.

"Okay!" Duan Baoxuan agreed in a blink of an eye.

"This subordinate resigns." Li Xuan immediately bowed his hands and resigned.

After Li Xuan left completely, a voice suddenly sounded from the back tent: "What means does the King of Nanchang have to break through Heilongling within two nights and one day?"

"He is a disciple of the Taoist school. Although the matter of calling the wind and rain is not true, but when he knows the sky, he can borrow the wind and rain, and the means are not weak." Duan Baoxuan raised his head, glanced at the entrance of the back tent, and said expressionlessly: "Mr. He is still above the King of Nanchang, and his methods are beyond my imagination."

"Pindao has also climbed the mountain to see it, but the comrades on the mountain have calculated the various methods of the poor way very hard, and it is difficult for the poor way to succeed for a while."

A young Taoist priest wearing a moonlight Taoist robe, with a face as white as jade, came out from the back tent with a whisk in his hand.

He looked at the door of the big tent, and said softly: "Pindao is really curious, what kind of means does the King of Nanchang have, can he really defeat the black dragon in two nights and one day?"

"Maybe it can, maybe it can't, but it's commendable that the king of Nanchang relieved his worries." Duan Baoxuan lowered his head, and he had already signed an official document for troop deployment. He looked up, looked at the young Taoist priest and said, "Besides him, Unexpectedly, no one was able to attack Heilongling within three days, and the King of Nanchang also cut the time in half, leaving plenty of room for the governor."

"How anxious is the governor, with me waiting, Tianyin Sect will definitely not be able to evacuate Xianren Mountain within five days." The young Taoist held a whisk and walked to the side of Duan Baoxuan's big case.

Duan Baoxuan said directly without raising his head: "I don't care about the life and death of the empress. The governor was ordered to destroy the main altar of the Tianyin Sect in Tiancang Mountain on time. As for the rest, it is your own business in Maoshan. Between you and Ming Chongyan The governor will not ask any questions about the battle, and any soldiers in the army will not intervene in it."

"The governor doesn't need to be so cautious. It doesn't matter if soldiers intervene." The young Taoist looked relaxed, as if he completely ignored the nearly three thousand soldiers in this camp.

Duan Baoxuan's expression could not help but freeze, but perhaps he immediately relaxed, and a sneer sneered in his heart: "Big words to deceive people."

If these Taoists really have a way to take Heilongling, why should they stay in his tent and not leave, wouldn't it be good for them to attack Heilongling directly?
What they rely on is nothing more than that when people like them fight, they are often in places where ordinary manpower cannot reach.

"Come here!" Duan Baoxuan shouted, and Sima Yao Zhi immediately walked in from the outside.

He walked past Taoist Yuebai directly, as if he hadn't seen him at all.

"Get this official document from Quzhou and Kuozhou immediately." Duan Baoxuan handed over the official document directly.

"Here!" Yao Zhi didn't hesitate at all, and immediately turned around and followed the order.

After Yao Zhi left, Taoist Yuebai looked at Duan Baoxuan in surprise: "It turns out that the governor also has a way to defeat the enemy."

Duan Baoxuan glanced at Taoist Yuebai coldly, and said coldly: "After all, this governor is a saint, and he doesn't have much ability to command the people. Now, the time is just too short."

Speaking of this, Duan Baoxuan paused for a while, then looked at Taoist Yuebai coldly, and said: "Sir, you should think about how to kill the empress thoroughly, it is not easy to want her life, and the person who wants her life, It's not just Mr. and Ming Chongyan."

Taoist Yuebai smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, his expression calm and calm.

It's like the Empress doomed to die in his hands in the end.

……

"Hold your breath, keep your breath. If you want to win Heilongling and make great achievements, you must learn to hold your breath for a long time." Li Xuan stood beside the camp, in front of a row of large water tanks.

Behind the water tank, twenty soldiers buried their heads firmly in the water tank, and thirty breaths passed in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that these people had already buried their heads firmly inside, Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at Li Ji and Pei Xuan who were on the side.

"Uncle Wang is very demanding. If it is not in this land of Wu and Yue, it will be difficult to find people who can hold their breath for more than [-] breaths, and they will have to find hundreds of people at once." Li Ji cupped his hands slightly, with a wry smile on his face.

"Fifty breaths is just the beginning. This king will train them to breathe as much as possible to [-] breaths a day and night." Li Xuan's expression was serious and solemn, and people knew immediately that what he said was absolutely true. Not talking casually.

"Uncle Wang is planning to use the water to attack, but what kind of underground passage did he find?" Li Ji couldn't help asking curiously.

Only by finding unknown underground passages, or even underground waterways, so many people need to conduct breath-holding training.

"Nephew Wang will find out soon." Li Xuan raised her head and looked at the two sides not far away.

Nine catapults have been lined up on the mountain.
