Since Huang Xueren dared to insist on attacking Fengjiazhuang, his attitude was naturally quite clear: "Fengjiazhuang must be attacked, so that we can have enough food to last until next year. As for how to attack, I also have a plan!"
At this point, he turned his attention to Li Xuan again, and then said with respect: "Your Majesty, I believe that Fengjiazhuang must be attacked, and attacking Fengjiazhuang does not necessarily require a head-on conflict with the Ming army. We can completely lure the snake out of its hole.
Bring those Ming troops into the mountains, and then we attack Fengjiazhuang. Without the protection of the Ming army, Fengjiazhuang will never be able to stop our attack!"
"Led the snake out of the hole?" Li Xuan said: "Oh, what can General Huang do?"
Huang Xueren said: "Our army can be divided into two groups. One group will make a big show to attract the attention of the Ming army. It is best to lead the Ming army into the mountains and lead them in circles, while the other group will advance lightly and rush towards Fengjiazhuang.
Capture Fengjiazhuang in the shortest time and come back with food!"
Divide the troops? While Li Xuan was thinking about what this man said, he turned his attention to several other people. He knew very well that in this situation, the opinions of other people were also important.
At this time, Liu Bagou heard this and retorted: "Our Heavenly Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are already sparse in strength, with only two hundred young men capable of going into battle. If we divide our forces to attack, wouldn't this be a recipe for death?"
But Fang Dongquan had a different opinion: "If the Ming army can be attracted to the mountains, it is a feasible method, but what if the Ming army remains unmoved?"
Huang Xueren said: "It is impossible for the Ming army to stay still!"
"Why?" At this time, the question was asked by Butcher Chen. Although he was brave, such strategic matters had never been relevant to him. After listening for a long time, he still didn't understand where Huang Xueren's confidence came from.
Huang Xueren said: "Because we are the Heavenly Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and Your Majesty is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the Lord of the Nine Provinces!"
When he said this, his tone was as firm as cutting through iron.
However, as soon as he said these words, the meeting hall immediately fell silent. Although many people present were funny, it did not mean that they were all fools.
Many of them do things that Li Xuan cannot understand, just because their knowledge is not broad enough and they appear ignorant.
Ignorance and stupidity are two different words.
Although Huang Xueren did not say it explicitly, everyone could hear the hidden meaning in his words, that is, they, the Tang Dynasty, were rebels whose officers and soldiers wanted to encircle and suppress them.
What do you hate most about a regime?
It's not corrupt officials or foreign enemies, but internal rebel forces, especially those who openly proclaimed themselves emperors and founded their country.
No matter what dynasty they are, they all have an attitude towards the internal rebel forces that they would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go, and if they can kill ten thousand, they will never kill nine thousand.
Although the Tang dynasty created by Li Xuan's father was a bit of a joke, at least it was a serious attempt to proclaim emperor and establish a country. Otherwise, it would not have attracted such officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress it twice.
Even in the past few months, the imperial court deployed guards officers and soldiers from surrounding counties to station near the mountain. What was its purpose?
Is it to protect the country and the people? Is it just for the same bandits as in Shuilong Village before?
Absolutely not!
Their goal is clear and simple, that is, the Tang Dynasty and Li Xuan.
It is rumored that Li Xuan's reputation as a rebel has spread throughout several surrounding prefectures and counties. Even the provincial capital has heard about it, and the surrounding prefectures and counties have posted notices to apprehend Li Xuan.
The government's attitude towards Li Xuan and the Tang Dynasty is very clear, that is, to eradicate them completely. However, in recent months, these people have been hiding in Huangzhu Mountain, and the officers and soldiers have not found them at all.
But once the officers and soldiers discovered traces of the Tang Dynasty, they would not let this opportunity pass easily.
These thoughts are not only known to others, but also to Li Xuan himself. He is a magnet to attract the attention of the court. If he just makes a little noise, the officers and soldiers will probably swarm over.
After a while, Liu Bagou said: "If we divide our troops, can the people who attracted the Ming army escape the Ming army's pursuit? After all, the Ming troops outside are no longer the county warriors they used to be, but regular troops from the garrison."
!”
At this time, Fang Dongquan said solemnly: "If the Ming army can take the initiative to catch up, I can lead people to escape the Ming army's pursuit. We are more familiar with this mountain than the Ming army, so there should be no mistakes."
, the key is to attack Fengjiazhuang.
Not only do you have to act quickly, but you also have to attack Fengjiazhuang and take away the food, which is not easy!"
At this time, Butcher Chen said: "Leave it to me, Old Chen, to attack Fengjiazhuang. As long as there are no Ming troops, it will be easy to capture Fengjiazhuang..."
Having said this, he paused for a moment, and then looked at Liu Bagou out of habit.
Liu Bagou took it angrily: "It's effortless!"
"Yes, that's right, if you have me, Old Chen, attacking Fengjiazhuang is nothing. I, Old Chen, can take it down without any effort."
Everyone was not too surprised by what Butcher Chen and Liu Bagou said. They were all old acquaintances. Even Li Xuan knew that Butcher Chen especially liked to learn Liu Bagou's speaking tone, especially when he said:
As for idioms, he is illiterate and has a bad memory. Many times he can only speak half of the idioms, and others have to help him pick up the rest.
At this time, Huang Xueren said: "If General Fang can attract the Ming army in Longhua Town, then I can lead the team with General Chen to attack Fengjiazhuang, capture Fengjiazhuang before the Ming army can react, and then retreat to the mountains!"
When Huang Xueren, Fang Dongquan, and Chen Tufu, the three generals with the highest force value and the highest prestige among the bandits in Huangzhu Mountain, all agreed to this plan, Liu Bagou and Qian Mengjiu looked at each other, and they could tell from each other's
There was worry in his eyes.
But now that the matter has come to this, they can no longer object.
Because the shortage of food in Huangzhushan is an established fact and must be solved.
Now that Huang Xueren and others have put forward a feasible plan, and these three people seem to have great confidence, Liu Bagou knows that it is no longer something he can object to.
Because either he comes up with a better plan, or he agrees to this plan.
But if Liu Bagou had any better plan, he would have said it long ago, why wait until now.
Li Xuan saw that the civil and military ministers below had reached a consensus, and he also made the realization that a puppet emperor should have: Agree to this plan!
He immediately said: "In this case, the attack on Fengjiazhuang should be carried out sooner rather than later. All the ministers should make arrangements!"
Speaking of this, he glanced at everyone, and everyone's expressions were now different, some were excited, and some were worried.
After taking a glance, he said: "This attack on Fengjiazhuang is of great importance. I intend to lead the army to conquer it myself!"
Hearing that Li Xuan once again said that the imperial commander would personally conquer the country, Liu Bagou's expression immediately changed, and he continued: "Your Majesty, please think twice. Your Majesty is a man of ten thousand gold, how can you take risks so easily!"
Not only Liu Bagou, but also Fang Dongquan and Chen Tufu also came out one after another and said: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Huang Xueren glanced at these people, and then followed him out of the queue slightly: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"
