Valley Emperor

Fang Dongquan suddenly changed his attitude, which made Huang Xueren and the others very uncomfortable.

Why are you cowardly, don't be cowardly, just be positive!

Li Xuan looked at Fang Dongquan's big face change, as if he saw that when the Ming army attacked, he could not escape but was intercepted by Fang Dongquan and the others. He kicked him in his rage at the time. Just like today, he didn't care about his face at all, but instead bowed his head to admit his mistake.

Today, it seems like the same thing happened again.

And this situation made Li Xuan deeply alert!

This Fang Dongquan is not simple.

Among so many people in Huang Zhushan, this Fang Dongquan can be regarded as the most tolerant person, and his forbearance is not ordinary forbearance, but with a deep purpose.

Li Xuan would not believe that he was really convinced by himself, so he turned his head and said that he supported the attack on Jiguan Mountain.

Li Xuan guessed that he should still fight for power and profit, especially fighting for military leadership with Huang Xueren.

However, this is no longer important to Li Xuan. Anyway, he was originally a puppet emperor. To be honest, there is nothing to lose.

The worst-case scenario is to continue to be his puppet emperor.

But after prying open a hole today, he feels that there is still great hope to gradually control the real power in the future.

When Fang Dongquan also expressed his agreement, then the four generals representing the Tang Dynasty who held real power also reached an agreement.

Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren, Chen Tufu, and Wang Danxu all agreed. Liu Bagou and Qian Mengjiu, who were civil officials, did not have much objections, so they quickly agreed.

In this way, after Li Xuan came to this era, the strategic choice he made by himself for the first time was recognized.

Although there is a lot of water in this recognition, I am afraid that several people will be dissatisfied in their hearts, and it will lead to some follow-up troubles, but it is still the same sentence, he will continue to be the puppet emperor if it is a big deal, and he will not lose more anyway.

When it was officially decided to attack Jiguan Mountain in the court meeting, just like the previous attacks on Shuilongzhai and Fengjiazhuang, Huangzhushan once again made preparations for the upcoming war.

I feel that the number of the two standing armies of the Tang Dynasty is relatively small, and the attack on Jiguan Mountain may not be enough, so this time, like the last attack on Fengjiazhuang, ordinary young and strong people were mobilized.

However, these mobilized young men did not join the left and right armies led by Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren, but set up a new standing army front army, with Chen Tufu as the commander.

The number of the front army was even more than that of the left and right armies, reaching nearly a hundred people, and the left and right armies were only fifty people each.

However, although the number of the left and right armies is smaller, the people from the left and right armies are carefully selected, and they are better than those in the former army in terms of physical fitness and martial arts.

After all, those people in the former army were selected and left. If it weren't for this war, it is estimated that they would not have been mobilized. Naturally, their quality in all aspects is not comparable to the left and right armies.

In addition to this temporary mobilization of the former army, the Datang Dynasty gathered a full two hundred troops. Such a large-scale mobilization was obviously another battle of the country for the Datang Dynasty.

These two hundred armies are all ready to attack Jiguan Mountain, and the defense of Huangzhu Mountain is left to the guards.

This is because Li Xuan insisted on keeping the guards by his side, so that if a Ming army were to attack, he could rely on the guards of more than fifty people to escape.

On the other hand, Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren still looked down on the half-eldest of the guards, thinking that they would only play platoons, and would not be able to fight at all. The Guards remained.

In order to prevent the base camp of Huangzhu Mountain from being attacked by the Ming army or other bandits when the army went to attack Jiguan Mountain, the Datang Dynasty also arranged a lot of spies around, even on the edge of the mountain and even near Longhua Town. The spies, once they found out that the Ming army had entered the mountains, would immediately report back.

At that time, whether to pull the army back and fight the Ming army to the death, or flee again, then we have to see if the Ming army can find their location on Huangzhu Mountain and how many troops the Ming army will come.

In late October, the ready-made three armies of the Tang Dynasty Standing Army officially set off for the expedition. This time, due to the relatively large scale of the operation, and the possibility of accepting the surrender of other bandits, it also needs civilian help, so this time Qian Mengjiu also went with him. .

The other important officials, Wang Danxu, Liu Bagou, and Wang Wenhua, stayed behind at Huangzhu Mountain.

After Fang Dongquan and the others set off, Huang Zhushan once again returned to a calm and busy state.

Although most of the young men and women have gone on expedition, the remaining old and weak women and children can't be idle, and they have to continue to take advantage of this winter to open up wasteland.

In this way, by the spring of next year, they will have enough land to plant food.

Today, the population of Huangzhu Mountain has exceeded 1,300, which is 300 more than when the Shuilong Village was recaptured.

If there are more than 300 people, there will be 300 more mouths to feed. Although the food in Huangzhu Mountain is still sufficient, it can only support one and a half years. Next year's food will have to be planted during spring ploughing. food.

Just when the Tang Dynasty once again launched a war to expand its territory, Su Jiakang and several generals in Zhengtai County were also discussing the strategy of attacking Huangzhu Mountain.

"To exterminate those rebels in Huangzhu Mountain and capture Li Ni, the first priority is to find their hiding place. As long as they are found, it will be easy to defeat this group of rebels with our strength!" A man in his forties The general said: "But the mountains are dense and dense, and it is not easy to find Huangzhu Mountain!"

"Yes, we now have 500 elite soldiers and 300 county soldiers. There is no problem in sweeping the mountains. The key is how to find them!" Another general said.

At this time, Su Jiakang had a confident look on his face: "Don't worry everyone~www.wuxiax.com~ The location of Huang Zhushan is already known, and then we can go straight to Huangzhushan and capture Li Ni!"

Hearing Su Jiakang say this, the following thousands of generals, including generals and other military attaches, were all surprised, and some of them said: "Your Excellency already knows where they are? If that's the case, that's great. , we directly lead people to kill, and the great credit will be in hand!"

Su Jiakang touched his goatee and said, "It's not too late, this official has decided to go into the mountains in three days and attack Li Ni!"

After the generals were gone, a middle-aged scribe walked in through the side door, it was Master Sun.

Su Jiakang said, "This officer has already ordered you to go down the mountain. You will enter the mountain in three days. There is no problem with your arrangement, right!"

Master Sun said, "Don't worry, my lord, the people I sent have already contacted those people, and there will never be any mistakes."

At this moment, Luo Mazi also walked in, holding a folding fan to cool Su Jiakang while flattering: "Your Excellency is a good strategy, I can fool those warriors with a few words, then we..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Jiakang slapped him directly: "Don't say anything that shouldn't be said!"

This slap directly slaps Luo Mazi on the spot and turns in a circle. After fainting, Luo Mazi stabilized her body and said quickly, "What the lord has taught me is that it is the villain who talks too much!"

While he slapped himself left and right, he continued:

"It's all the villain's fault. It makes you angry, my lord, does your hand hurt, or else go and wipe it with medicinal wine!",

Luo Mazi continued to lick his face and smiled charmingly. At that time, the slap prints on his face were still very clear!
