Valley Emperor

When another round of morning sun rose, Li Xuan got news from Fang Dongquan and the others from the messenger. The messenger who came back to Huangzhu Mountain said that Fang Dongquan and the others had already evacuated from Jiguan Mountain, but after evacuating Jiguan Mountain, they did not return to Huangzhu Mountain, but were preparing to go back halfway. Ambush the Ming army.

After learning this news, Li Xuan was a little angry, because the order he gave Fang Dongquan and the others was to let them come back, and after they came back, they would discuss how to resist the attack of the Ming army, or how to escape.

But now Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren, Chen Tufu, and Qian Mengjiu have bypassed Li Xuan and Liu Bagou and decided to ambush the Ming army halfway.

Not to mention whether they can succeed in doing so, but this matter once again sounded the alarm for Li Xuan.

That is: he, the Tang emperor, cannot effectively control Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren.

In normal times, they maintained a superficial respect for themselves, but at such a critical moment, they simply left themselves behind, without even saying hello, and took someone to ambush the Ming army.

Looking at the frown on Li Xuan's face, although Liu Bagou usually doesn't speak well, he also guessed why Li Xuan frowned.

He immediately said: "Your Majesty, I will feel uncomfortable outside, and now the situation is urgent, General Fang and the others are too late to come back and report in person."

Having said that, he looked at Li Xuan worriedly, for fear that Li Xuan would not be able to understand the real situation, and then he would make a lot of things, such as sending an imperial decree to reprimand Fang Dongquan and them, and even forcing them to come back to Huangzhu Mountain. In this case, Things can be big.

After all, Li Xuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is not a real emperor, and you annoyed Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren, the two real power bandit leaders. Even if Liu Bagou desperately shouted in the name of monarch and minister, I am afraid it would be difficult for Huang Xueren and Fang Dongquan to calm down. .

What if these two people think that the emperor Li Xuan is not very good, and the Tang Dynasty has not done anything, what if they want to directly disband?

So he continued to help Fang Dongquan and the others to explain: "General Fang and the others are right. If we wait for the Ming army to come to our Huangzhu Mountain, our Huangzhu Mountain has no geographical advantage and is difficult to defend, and the country will be in danger by then. The only way is to ambush halfway. , so that there is a chance to win the battle!"

That said, but Liu Bagou didn't think Fang Dongquan and the others could successfully ambush the Ming army on the way, causing heavy damage to the Ming army, and then repelling the Ming army's attack.

He had seen the combat effectiveness of the Ming army twice with his own eyes. Every time he fought against the Ming army, his side was defeated neatly and without any suspense.

The Grand Master of the Tang Dynasty fought against the Ming army several times, and still proudly and proudly maintained a zero chance of victory!

What's more, this time Fang Dongquan and the others had only a little over 200 troops, but there were nearly 500 Ming troops attacking. Even if Fang Dongquan and the others ambushed the Ming troops, it is still unknown whether they can beat them.

Therefore, Liu Bagou, Fang Dongquan and the others did not hold out any hope that they could ambush the Ming army, but he still supported Fang Dongquan and the others to do so, because in this case, Fang Dongquan and the others would be able to attract the attention of the Ming army, and it would be very likely to happen again at that time. the previous two cases.

That is, Fang Dongquan and the others took the officers and soldiers around the mountain until they were exhausted or had something else happen to voluntarily leave the mountain.

Previously, Huang Zhushan relied on this hand to successfully escape the pursuit of the Ming army and successfully loot Fengjiazhuang.

Li Xuan is not an idiot either. Liu Bagou said this, and he came to his senses. At this time, he really did not have the qualifications to accuse Fang Dongquan of them.

Because he, the Great Tang Emperor, is just a puppet!

However, this further strengthened his idea: that is, to control the real power as much as possible.

Even if he wants to be a mountain valley emperor, he also wants to be a mountain valley emperor with real power, not just a puppet emperor who is held up high by everyone but has no actual power at all.

After Liu Bagou left, Li Xuan did not immediately return to the backyard, nor did he go to the playground to check on the guards who were intensifying their emergency training.

Instead, he climbed up to the balcony on the second floor of the council hall by himself, leaning on the railing to look into the distance.

In sight is a large field that has already been harvested, and there are many newly reclaimed fields or even half-reclaimed fields. In the middle of these fields, there are several streams passing through, and then these streams and a small river in the distance converge.

On the edge of the field, there are scattered houses. There are many kinds of fruits and vegetables in front of and behind the houses, and chickens and ducks are raised.

In the past, when Li Xuan saw these, he would only regard them as ordinary pastoral scenes, but looking at them today, he has a different feeling.

This place is my country, and those working people are my people!

For the first time in history, he developed a sense of belonging to this place, although this sense of belonging is very absurd to look at with rational eyes, and no normal person would regard a bandit den in a ravine as his own country, A group of bandits as their own people.

However, after staying here for a long time, Liu Bagou and the others called him Your Majesty and the Emperor every day, and he gradually got used to calling himself "I".

Now he has this absurd and weird feeling~www.wuxiax.com~ Maybe, he should do something!

Maybe, I can do something for the Tang Dynasty!

It has been more than half a year since he came to this era. Most of the time, Li Xuan has the mentality of being a monk for a day and hitting the clock for a day. Except for training the guards, he can say nothing.

Because in his mind, this ghost place is a poor ravine, no matter what he does, he will have to leave here and live a new life outside.

Therefore, I have never taken the Tang Dynasty seriously, so naturally I don't care about the development and growth of the Tang Dynasty, let alone the life and death of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

He has always only thought about how to survive. Others, including Madam Bai and Dong Yunyun, were not considered by him.

But now, he wants to make some changes!

Li Xuan was watching from the balcony on the second floor. Liu Bagou, who had already gone out, turned around and saw Li's figure, and then he showed a thoughtful expression.

After sighing, he took another step towards the outside.

Now Liu Bagou is very busy, he has to organize manpower to step up the construction of the wall and prepare for the defensive battle.

In the evening of the same day, Fang Dongquan and the others had been away from Jiguan Mountain for about 30 miles, and the direction they were heading was the direction that the Ming army entered the mountain.

Of course, Fang Dongquan and the others did not know that these Ming troops who entered the mountain were not heading in the direction of Huangzhu Mountain, but were going to Jiguan Mountain first.

So Fang Dongquan and the others also didn't know that at this moment, the Ming army led by Su Jiakang was five miles away.

With the generals of the night, the darkness covered the tracks of both sides like a fog, so that both sides camped five miles apart for the night without knowing the existence of the other side!
