Valley Emperor

When Liu Bagou spoke, his expression was serious, but there was still a hint of temptation in his serious expression, as if Zeng Ziyun would be able to immediately gain glory and wealth as long as he agreed, becoming a prince of a superior person, living every day in the mountains, delicacies and beauties. Surrounded by luxury living.

Li Xuan, who was above, saw Liu Bagou's expression, and suspected that his dead ghost father was bewitched by Li Erbi's expression. How could Lao Cai play the matter of ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor?

But Zeng Ziyun was obviously not as short-sighted as Lear was back then. Although he was a prisoner, he came from a general family, and his knowledge was much better than those of these idiots in the countryside.

He was not even interested in listening to what Liu Bagou said about the so-called princes and princes.

Even if you asked him to be this fake Tang emperor, Zeng Ziyun would not agree, and what would he say about princes, princes, and deceive children.

As far as you, the Tang Dynasty in the valleys, even the so-called 'Imperial Palace' where the emperor lived was just a slightly larger wooden house, and even my servants lived better than this.

Not to mention that he is a five-tiered thousand households. He lives in a large mansion with three entrances, carved beams and painted buildings. There are dozens of servants and maids in the house. His wives and concubines are beautiful as flowers. Life.

Even if he took the throne of the Great Tang Emperor, he would not change it!

However, although his heart is full of disdain, Zeng Ziyun has learned to be smart now. He knows that if he openly rejects the bandits in front of him at this time, it is estimated that they will put the knife on his neck in the next moment, and then slash go down.

He was still young, and he had beautiful wives and concubines waiting for him to love him, but he couldn't just die in a ravine like this.

Well, even if he Zeng Ziyun is defeated, even if he is captured, he has to flee back. There are still good days waiting for him outside. How can he stay in this ravine and play emperor with these ignorant bandits Game of nation building.

If the Tang Dynasty is a real regime, it does not need to be too large, even if it has only a few prefectures and counties, and can pull an army of several thousand people, then he Zeng Ziyun is in such a dangerous situation today. , will seriously consider whether to surrender or not.

But what about the Tang Dynasty in front of me, it only ruled over a thousand bandits and its territory was only a few miles in size. How could such a dynasty have a future?

Even killing Zeng Ziyun doesn't believe it.

Zeng Ziyun knew very well that even if he failed to attack Huangzhu Mountain this time, it would not be long before the imperial court sent more troops to encircle and suppress it. There may be thousands or more.

Under this circumstance, if the Tang Dynasty didn't end, Zeng Ziyun would dare to commit suicide again!

So if you want him to surrender and become a prisoner, you can, but if you want him to submit to the pseudo-Tang and become a rebel, he will never do such a self-defeating thing.

Well, but he couldn't refuse directly, it would anger the bandits in front of him, so he made a compromise choice.

He kept silent!

Zeng Ziyun didn't speak after listening, he was as silent as a piece of wood.

Looking at him, Li Xuan frowned slightly. Although he never expected Zeng Ziyun to agree from the beginning, he never thought that this person would refuse so simply, without even the slightest hesitation or consideration.

Yes, Zeng Ziyun's silent attitude has already made his attitude very obvious: he is not willing!

Instead of rejecting directly, he kept silent, just because he was afraid of annoying everyone in Huang Zhushan.

It seems that recruiting generals is not an easy task!

After Li Xuan frowned slightly, he was not interested in continuing to talk with this Zeng Ziyun. This person's attitude was already very clear, and it was useless to talk more at this time.

Immediately, he waved his hand and asked his subordinates to **** Zeng Ziyun out.

Li Xuan planned to lock up Zeng Ziyun first. Maybe as time passed, this person would slowly recognize the reality and suddenly wake up and join the founding cause of the Tang Dynasty. As for now, lock it up first.

After Zeng Ziyun was sent away, Li Xuan instructed Liu Bagou again: "Although this person is unwilling to submit, but this person is a general of the Ming army, he must know a lot of information about the Ming army, and the prime minister will look for someone to tell him. Get all the information out of here!"

This matter is much less difficult than persuading Zeng Ziyun to surrender.

It is too difficult to persuade Zeng Ziyun to submit to the Tang Dynasty and be loyal to Li Xuan. But if he made a threat and only got some information from his mouth, the possibility was still very high, and Liu Bagou immediately said: "The minister follows the order!"

After Zeng Ziyun finished speaking, everyone focused their attention on other ordinary prisoners.

"Every Aiqing said, how should these sixty prisoners be dealt with, we can't keep them locked up and wasting food!" When Li Xuan spoke, he first set the tone, that is, he can't keep them in vain, or else They still have to lose their lives. After a battle, they captured more than 60 mouths for nothing. In the future, they will capture dozens and hundreds of prisoners.

Bai Yunqi stepped forward and said, "I think I can persuade some of them to surrender. As long as they are willing to submit to our Tang Dynasty, they can be incorporated into the standing army to serve us in the Tang Dynasty."

"What about the remaining people who are unwilling to submit?" Wang Wenhua said at this time, "Although these Ming troops are ordinary soldiers, they may not all submit to us!"

At this time, Bai Yun said oddly, "This is simple. Those who don't want to submit to join us will let them open up wasteland~www.wuxiax.com~ Anyway, we have a lot of fields in Huangzhu Mountain that have not been opened up, so it is suitable for them to open up wasteland and cultivate land!"

Liu Bagou nodded and said, "It's a good idea to let them open up wasteland. These Ming troops are all military households, and they usually farm fields. It's convenient for them to open up wasteland, but it still needs to be controlled, so that they don't turn back!"

Bai Yun said oddly, "This minister is bold, willing to take charge of recruiting and taking care of these Ming army prisoners, and never let them waste a grain of our Tang Dynasty's grain!"

Hearing Bai Yunqi's words, Li Xuan nodded, and immediately said, "Since General Bai is willing to take on the heavy responsibility, then I am sure!"

The others nodded after listening and didn't speak any further.

Only Li Xuan and Bai Yunqi looked at each other at this time, and then saw the successful conspiracy smile on each other's faces.

Others didn't know that, in fact, Bai Yunqi and Li Xuan's remarks had already been negotiated, in order to completely control the more than 60 prisoners of the Ming army.

For this reason, they even delayed the handling of the captives until Fang Dongquan and the others took them to Jiguan Mountain, in order to prevent Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren from interfering.

As long as Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren, the two real power factions, were not involved, then Li Xuan and Bai Yunqi would be able to cooperate with each other and swallow these more than 60 Ming army prisoners in one bite, without leaving any scum to Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren!

The reason why Li Xuan and the others want to control these captives and use them for their own use is naturally to get rid of the fate of puppets!

Li Xuan is enough of the puppet emperor in the valley. He desperately wants to hold real power, and if he wants to hold real power in the bandit den of Huangzhu Mountain, he must have an army loyal to him!

These captives have become the most suitable opportunity!
