Valley Emperor

To successfully conquer Jiguan Mountain, for the Tang Dynasty, its significance is no less than the defeat of the Ming army by Yu Luohu not long ago.

If you zoom in, this battle of Jiguanshan can be regarded as a powerful consolidation of the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

Because after defeating Jiguan Mountain, not only the nearly 100 bandits and more than 100 old and weak women and children from Jiguan Mountain could be recovered, but a lot of food and other property were seized.

Furthermore, because Jiguan Mountain is within a hundred miles, among the three bandits who still refuse to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, they have the toughest attitude and are also the most powerful.

Winning Jiguan Mountain can effectively deter Huanggui Mountain and Heihu Village, and make subsequent actions to recover Heihu Village and Huanggui Mountain go more smoothly.

Once the Black Tiger Village and Huanggui Mountain are also captured, and their young and strong women and children are captured, the population of the Tang Dynasty can break through the 2,000 mark.

Among them, there are at least 200 gangsters who can carry their swords and fight at any time. If they encounter a big enemy, such as the Ming army, if they come to attack, then the Datang Wangshi will be fully mobilized, and it will be possible to mobilize more than 400 troops.

Perhaps whether it is two hundred or four hundred, the difference is not big for outsiders, but for the Tang Dynasty, this is a qualitative leap.

Because this means that the strength of the Tang Dynasty has more than doubled!

Precisely because conquering Jiguan Mountain would bring such great and obvious benefits, Liu Bagou, Wang Wenhua and the others were very excited when they heard the news.

But in addition to such a group of excited people, as the nominal top leader of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Li Xuan saw a potential crisis in it.

That is, after Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren conquered Jiguan Mountain, they did not send the captive young men and women and children back to Huangzhu Mountain, but chose to take the young men and captives directly to attack Heihu Village.

Although they have very good reasons: there are not enough young people in Huangzhu Mountain, I am afraid it is difficult to take care of the nearly 100 bandit captives in Jiguan Mountain. At the same time, the people in Heihu Village have changed, and Fang Dongquan and the others do not have enough time to go back to Huangzhu Mountain first. , but need to immediately go to the Black Tiger Village to fight.

However, even so, Li Xuan still saw the potential crisis.

That is, Fang Dongquan and the others directly incorporated nearly a hundred bandits from Jiguan Mountain without his consent from Li Xuan, or even a court discussion.

Those are not nearly a hundred ordinary prisoners, but the gangsters of Jiguanshan!

If these nearly 100 people join Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren's subordinates, they will greatly improve their strength, and this is not over yet. If they do the same in Heihu Village and Huanggui Mountain, then wouldn't it be the youngest of these three families? Will Zhuang be accepted directly by both of them in the end?

Li Xuan felt a little uneasy about this.

During this period of time, he has been working hard to weaken the influence of Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren.

Raise the strength of Butcher Chen, help Cheng Butcher to build a reputation as the number one general in Huangzhu Mountain, intentionally or unintentionally, and expand Butcher Chen's influence.

At the same time, she secretly supported Mrs. Bai to set up a standing army rear army through Bai Yunqi, and took prisoners of the Ming army.

These are his measures to contain the strength and influence of Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren.

But now he found that these actions that he took a lot of effort to do in the end were of little effect, because now people have directly incorporated Jiguan Mountain, Huanggui Mountain, and Heihu Village, and then divided up the young and strong people inside. , I will not leave any residue for Li Xuan.

But at this time, Li Xuan couldn't turn against Fang Dongquan and the others, and he couldn't even obstruct their actions secretly.

Because even though Li Xuan, Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren have conflicts of interest, they all face a more powerful common enemy, that is the Ming Army!

He, Li Xuan, has to take care of the overall situation!

However, this does not mean that he will helplessly watch Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren and the others divide up Jiguan Mountain, Heihu Village, and Huanggui Mountain as the fruits of victory.

Since he couldn't control it himself, Li Xuan took a compromise approach!

He asked the messenger to bring Fang Dongquan and the others a 'decree'. Naturally, the imperial decree first praised them greatly, and this time the praise praised everyone, Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren, Chen Tufu, Wang Danxu, Qian Dreams are all in it.

However, Li Xuan also officially appointed dispatches to the generals abroad in the imperial decree. The military general Dongquan of the chariots and cavalry has full authority to supervise the affairs of the thieves. He appointed the Prime Minister Qian Mengjiu as the supervisor of the army, and Chen Tufu, Huang Xueren, and Wang Danxu will assist the thieves.

To put it simply, it is to change that before the generals were not divided into primary and secondary, and officially established the main person in charge of the affairs of this crusade against Heihu Village and Huanggui Mountain.

There seems to be no problem with this appointment, but this is the result of Li Xuan's hard work for a whole night, and it contains Li Xuan's misfortune!

To put it simply, he raised Fang Dongquan high and ignored others, especially Huang Xueren.

However, Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren have always been on an equal footing. Even if they attacked Jiguanshan before, they discussed it. Now Li Xuan directly gave Fang Dongquan the title of being in charge of all the thieves' affairs, and Huang Xueren would be reconciled. Yu Zai Fang Dongquan?

It's impossible to think with your toes.

Some time ago, the two of them fought so fiercely that this conflict broke out long ago, and now, Li Xuan wants to further deepen their conflict.

As long as Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren are not allowed to unite, then Li Xuan can slowly divide their power.

This little conspiracy, Li Xuan, boasted that he did a very good job, but after returning to the backyard at night, he was called by the Queen Mother Bai, Mrs.

Just after the past, Mrs. Bai just said, "This is too obvious. They are not fools. How can they not guess the careful thinking behind you!"

Li Xuan also knew that Mrs. Bai seemed to be staying in the harem, but the news was very well-informed. She just issued the imperial decree today, and she knew it that day, so she was not surprised to know about it.

Mrs. Bai continued: "You can't worry about these things. Now let your uncle train the rear army first. As for the Black Tiger Village and Huanggui Mountain, let them make a fuss!"

Speaking of which, Mrs. Bai pulled Li Xuan over and said with a pity: "I don't worry, mother won't let them ride on our mothers' necks for too long, and sooner or later, they will be cleaned up!"

After listening to Mrs. Bai's words~www.wuxiax.com~, Li Xuan thought for a while, then nodded: "This matter is indeed urgent!"

At this moment, Mrs. Bai said: "But since it has been done, there is no need to regret it, it's better to pay more attention in the future.

By the way, how is your Guards? You seem to be going less often recently. You have to watch the training of the Guards. Don't let your guards take care of you all the time. Gotta have a snack too! "

When Li Xuan heard Madam Bai's question, she showed a surprised expression. This Madam Bai paid so much attention to the Guards, and even asked him to use more snacks.

Could it be that this lady Bai also saw it, that the guards she trained have a bright future?

Seeing the puzzled look on Li Xuan's face, Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "Just because you are so careful, you still want to hide from the old lady, but you were born to me, and I know what you want to do with your butt, isn't it? Do you want to train a personal soldier?"

Speaking of this, she also said, "It's not just me, others can see it to some extent, but they all think those little brats are useless!"

At this moment, Mrs. Bai showed a very meaningful expression and said to Li Xuan: "Those half-boys are not very useful now, but everyone will grow up. After a few years, these boys will be adults!"

To be honest, these words really frightened Li Xuan, this Madam Bai thought so far, and suddenly thought of several years later.

But what reassured Li Xuan was that Madam Bai had limited knowledge and did not see the true potential of the Guards. The Guards Li Xuan trained were different from ordinary bandits.

In fact, there are only two people in the entire Huangzhu Mountain who can see the true potential of the Guards, one is Li Xuan himself, and the other is the captive Zeng Ziyun!
