However, after Huang Xueren proposed this plan, he encountered opposition from many people.
Liu Bagou even said directly: "General Huang, don't you know where Fengjiazhuang is? There are more than a hundred households in Fengjiazhuang, with a population of several hundred, which is more than the original population of our current Huangzhushan. In a short time
Can't beat it down.
Even if we can defeat them, the Ming army is gathering outside the mountains now, and checkpoints have been set up at every level. As soon as a large number of our troops leave the mountains, the Ming army will know immediately, and won't we have to run into the Ming army head-on?"
After saying that, Liu Bagou turned to Li Xuan and said: "Your Majesty, the lessons learned by the generals in the past few months must not be forgotten!"
Liu Bagou was right. If it were normal times and there were not so many officers and soldiers guarding the outside of the mountain, it would be okay for them to attack Fengjiazhuang. But the situation is different now. There are so many officers and soldiers outside the mountain. Now the bandits are hiding in
Fortunately, in the mountains, the officers and soldiers could not find the bandit's lair in Huangzhushan, and they would not be able to do anything to them for a while.
But if people from Huangzhushan run out on their own, they will be seeking death.
At this time, Butcher Chen also said: "Fengjiazhuang is nothing, they don't have many people, and their defense is not strict. If they can launch a surprise attack, it will be very easy to take down Fengjiazhuang, but those Ming troops are troublesome!"
Huang Xueren spoke again at this time: "Your Majesty, Fengjiazhuang has always had business relations with our Shuilong Village, and we have sold many properties from them. Therefore, I have been to Fengjiazhuang many times, whether it is on the road to Fengjiazhuang or inside Fengjiazhuang.
The deployment of defenses is clearly known to all ministers.
Moreover, Fengjiazhuang is the property of the Feng family in Fucheng, and it not only stores a large amount of grain, but also many other goods!"
When talking about this, Huang Xueren had a look of resentment on his face. You must know that those grains were the ones that were robbed by gangsters in Shuilong Village before.
Huang Xueren, with a look of resentment on his face, continued: "If we can capture Fengjiazhuang, not only will we not have to worry about food, but we will also be able to obtain a large amount of wealth, enough to lay the foundation of our Tang Dynasty!"
Listening to these words, Li Xuan felt that they sounded familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that Wang Wenhua, the scoundrel at the time, also said the same thing about Shuilong Village.
At the beginning, Wang Wenhua said that there was a lot of food in Shuilong Village, and this reason was also an important reason why everyone in Huangzhushan finally made up his mind to attack Shuilong Village.
Now Huang Xueren's Fengjiazhuang is even more exaggerated than Shuilongzhai. It not only says that there is a lot of food, but also many other properties. It seems like a treasure house full of treasures, dangerous but full of temptation.
But as soon as Huang Xueren finished speaking, Liu Bagou said again: "Even if Fengjiazhuang has ten thousand taels of gold, we can't take this risk!"
As he spoke, he said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, it is too dangerous to go out of the mountain now. Once the army out of the mountain is intercepted by the Ming army, it will cause great damage to the foundation of our Datang!"
The last time the landlord took people out, more than thirty people died, which had already broken Huang Zhushan's bones. If a large number of people were lost at the hands of officers and soldiers this time, the Tang Dynasty would be ruined.
For a dynasty with only a thousand subjects, the most that could go out and plunder with weapons was more than 200 people. And if these 200 people met the same number or even more officers and soldiers, it goes without saying that the result would be that this group of people would
The bandits will definitely fail, and it is unknown how far they will be able to escape by then.
But even if Liu Bagou said this, Li Xuan still didn't say anything because he was also weighing the pros and cons of this matter.
First of all, if Fengjiazhuang can be defeated, the results will definitely be very rich. As the farm of the Feng family in the capital city, Fengjiazhuang has hundreds of tenants and produces a lot of grain every year. In fact, Fengjiazhuang used to be a salesman of stolen goods.
The den contains a large amount of food and various goods.
The original Shuilongzhai had long-term trade with Fengjiazhuang, and Fang Dongquan and the others had also traded with Fengjiazhuang.
I just don’t know why, but the people in Fengjiazhuang suddenly fell out with the bandits and directly came to Shuilong Village to take advantage of them.
If we can capture Fengjiazhuang, it will definitely be a good thing.
However, it is not easy to capture Fengjiazhuang. Fengjiazhuang's own defense strength is easy to say. For the Tang Dynasty, whose strength has greatly increased and has more than two hundred troops at its disposal, as long as it is willing to pay a certain price of casualties, it can capture Fengjiazhuang and defeat Fengjiazhuang.
no problem.
The key to the problem is that once they come out of the mountain, they will definitely attract the attention of the government. When the officers and soldiers come to encircle and suppress them, it is a question whether they can escape and how many people can come back.
This is what Li Xuan is worried about, and it is also the reason for Liu Bagou's firm opposition.
Li Xuan remained silent, and the following people were arguing more and more noisily. At first, only Liu Bagou and Huang Xueren were talking, but later Chen Butcher, Qian Mengjiu and even Wang Wenhua joined in.
After half an hour of heated debate, the important officials of the Tang Dynasty in the court were divided into two groups, with clear distinctions.
One of the parties was the support group represented by Huang Xueren, and Tufu Chen and Wang Xudan both expressed their approval.
Liu Bagou, headed by Qian Mengjiu and Wang Wenhua, firmly opposed it. Due to the impact of the last failure, Fang Dongquan also became a firm opposition this time. He was not against attacking Fengjiazhuang, he was against coming out.
The last defeat is still vivid in my mind. How dare Fang Dongquan forget the lessons learned last time.
Basically, it can be said that the generals in the court, except Fang Dongquan, all supported going out to rob Fengjiazhuang. Even if it was not Fengjiazhuang, they had to rob other places. In short, they could not starve to death alive.
The civil servants in the court, namely Liu Bagou, Qian Mengjiu, and Huang Wenhua, were unanimously opposed to it.
Seeing everyone arguing, Li Xuan also had a headache. He knew that whether to attack Fengjiazhuang could no longer be decided today, let alone by him alone.
This matter involves too much, and even if Li Xuan forces the arrangement, the effect will probably not be very satisfactory.
After all, the original bandits in Huangzhu Mountain considered Fang Dongquan as their boss, and those in Shuilong Village also considered Huang Xueren, the short second in command, as their boss.
The two of them have greater influence and prestige than Li Xuan among the thousand people and two hundred young people in Huangzhu Mountain today.
No matter which side you support, the other side will have opinions.
He didn't want to die because of the rebellion of his subordinates just a few months after traveling, before he could win over people's hearts.
So when it comes to such controversial topics, Li Xuan usually chooses to keep his mouth shut. You can make trouble as much as you like. Don't ask me. You may not listen to what I say anyway.
The main war faction and the anti-war faction were arguing endlessly, and Li Xuan said nothing, which was doomed that this court meeting could not continue.
However, after the court meeting was over, Li Xuan kept Huang Xueren behind.
