Chapter 38 The weak woman who strayed into the mountains
After a long time, Li Xuancai looked at Huang Xueren again: "Are you saying that all the more than 400 people in Shuilong Village are willing to be loyal to me?"
Huang Xueren said: "Reporting to your majesty, it is indeed true. I hope your majesty will be considerate and give ordinary people a chance to be loyal!"
Li Xuan turned his attention to Liu Bagou, and saw that Liu Bagou also had a strange look on his face. He obviously did not expect that the people in Shuilong Village were not only surrendering, but also wanted to surrender.
Although Liu Bagou kept talking about the invincible Heavenly Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty all day long, and would be the Lord of the Nine Provinces sooner or later, he still understood the reality. At least he never said anything like asking Li Xuan to immediately send troops to attack the county.
of.
So even Liu Bagou never thought that the people in Shuilong Village not only surrendered, but also wanted to surrender and be completely loyal to Li Xuan. This matter was beyond the scope of his imagination.
Li Xuan said: "If you are willing to surrender, then I will naturally not treat you badly. You will all be my subjects in the future and will be treated equally. However, since you are surrendering, let your young men put down their weapons and come out one by one!"
At this time, Li Xuan has decided that if the other party is willing to surrender, it will be a good thing for him, and it is a great good thing, because it means that he can take Shuilong Village into his pocket without losing anyone.
, the more people you have under your command, the more confident you will be in resisting attacks by officers and soldiers in the future.
Moreover, when Li Xuan made up his mind to attack Shuilong Village, in addition to solving the food crisis, the other important reason was that he wanted to take advantage of the evil forces, kill the stubborn people in Shuilong Village, and then kill most of the people in Shuilong Village.
People were recruited, thus strengthening Huangzhushan's strength.
Although the current development of things has exceeded his expectations, it has not deviated much from his goal.
So after careful consideration, he made a decision and agreed to surrender to Shuilong Village.
And since we want to accept the people of Shuilong Village, we naturally need to give them some benefits. To be precise, we need to give benefits to the leader of Shuilong Village like Huang Xueren. This benefit is naturally an official position.
Anyway, official positions and titles were not valuable in the Tang Dynasty, so Li Xuan did not feel any distress at all and directly promised Huang Xueren that the head of Shuilong Village would be named General Zhenbei, and Huang Xueren, the second boss, would be named General Zhennan.
After hearing this, Huang Xueren bowed his head and said, "I thank your Majesty for your kindness!"
Although the surrender of Shuilong Village was unexpected, it still put Li Xuan in a good mood. After casually sealing the titles of the two generals, he asked Huang Xueren to go back. First, he asked the people of Shuilong Village to give up all resistance, not to bring weapons, and to come out empty-handed.
, welcoming the Heavenly Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty into Shuilong Village.
Huang Xueren naturally agreed, and then returned to Shuilong Village.
After he went back and met the head of Shuilong Village, the charming man in white, he recounted all the negotiations one by one.
Finally, he said: "Master, the people from Huangzhushan have already agreed, and they have also given us the title of general. Should we let our brothers out now?"
At this time, the man in white sighed and said: "Well, just do as they say. Since Huang Zhushan has accepted you, and since Li Xuan dared to proclaim himself emperor and rebel, he should be someone who will not mess around.
You don’t have to worry about not having enough food to survive this autumn!”
Hearing what the man in white said, Huang Xueren's expression changed slightly: "Master, you are talking about you. Don't you want the master to go to Huangzhu Mountain?"
The man in white shook his head and said: "No, I, Gao Xiaobing, am not here. I just take the opportunity to leave here to travel around the mountains and rivers and visit outstanding people from all over the world."
As he spoke, he gently waved the folding fan in his hand, and then said: "You have to take a look at the prosperity of the world!"
After hearing this, the second master Huang Xueren said: "Master, there are so many officers and soldiers outside the mountain now. It may be dangerous to rush out of the mountain now!"
However, Gao Xiaobing pinched his orchid finger and smiled: "Is it possible that those soldiers can still embarrass me, a weak woman who strayed into the mountains?"
After hearing this, Huang Xueren sighed and said: "If I hadn't insisted on taking food to Fengjiazhuang to exchange for weapons last month, I wouldn't have let those white-eyed wolves in Fengjiazhuang swallow up our food. That would be half the battle."
Even if the heavy rain a few months ago destroyed our granaries, it would not prevent us from surviving this autumn!"
"What's the use of talking about it now? You go and prepare to surrender. I'll take the first step!" Gao Xiaobing said and stood up, then walked directly back without caring about Huang Xueren and everyone in Shuilong Village behind him.
Not long after, he entered the mountain trail behind and disappeared from everyone's sight.
At this time, a small bandit leader next to him said to Huang Xueren: "The second master, the first master just left like this?"
"He wants to leave, can you stay?" Huang Xueren asked without answering.
After hearing this, the little boss seemed to have remembered something, and immediately shuddered all over, with a look of fear on his face: "The boss naturally comes and leaves when he wants!"
Huang Xueren waved his hand: "Now that the leader has left, we have to handle the next surrender matter, and we hope that the people in Huangzhushan will help us with some food!"
When these changes occurred in Shuilong Village, Li Xuan outside would never have thought that Huang Zhushan and his party came here to grab food and women. However, they failed to grab food. Instead, they collected a group of people who also had no food.
More than four hundred mouths.
So when people from Shuilong Village came out one after another and people from Huangzhushan ran in to look for food, the expected large amount of food reserves were not found at all.
At first, Liu Bagou and the others thought that Huang Xueren and the others had hidden the food, but Huang Xueren said with a grimace: "We are surrendering because we are short of food, hoping that there will be some food at Huangzhu Mountain."
Food is helping us!"
Hearing this, Li Xuante was speechless!
He knew that there are no good things in this world without a reason. The people in Shuilong Village didn't even fight a serious fight, so they simply surrendered, and they said they wanted to surrender from the very beginning.
Loyal to himself, Li Xuan almost had the illusion that he had the aura of a protagonist and the aura of a king.
You would think that these people, like themselves, are short of food, and they want to find a backer and a granary.
After some explanation, Huang Xueren walked to Li Xuan: "Your Majesty, I will all be from Huangzhushan in the future. Can you let Huangzhushan transport a batch of grain? Otherwise, there will be more than 400 people in Shuilongzhai."
People will run out of food in half a month!"
Hearing this, before Li Xuan could say anything, Butcher Chen on the side spoke: "What the hell, if we had food, would we come to attack your Shuilong Village?"
"No food?" When Huang Xueren heard this, his mouth opened wide, as if he couldn't believe what he heard. After being stunned for a long time, he said: "What should we do?"
