Although the Ming army had just entered the mountain two days ago, it is not known whether they knew the exact location of Huangzhu Mountain or whether they had entered the mountain and then searched it with a net.
If they were to search after entering the mountain, they might not be able to find Huangzhu Mountain even if they were given ten and a half days.
However, even if they had learned the exact location of Huangzhu Mountain in advance, the army could not move fast in such high mountains and dense forests. It would not be possible to reach Huangzhu Mountain in less than five or six days. If they were more conservative and walked slowly, they would probably have to
Seven or eight days or even longer.
In other words, everyone in Huangzhushan still has several days to respond!
However, despite this, the news of the Ming army entering the mountain also caused everyone in Huangzhushan to panic.
Even though the people in Huangzhushan have established the Tang Dynasty openly and openly, and if they have nothing to do, they will attack the false Ming Dynasty and sweep the world, but in essence, they are still a group of bandits.
And bandits have a natural fear of the authorities.
Even Li Xuan himself was a little panicked when the Ming army entered the mountain. The reason was simple: he was afraid of death!
After learning the news that the Ming army had entered the mountain, the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty quickly made a decision. First, they sent more spies to the outskirts of the mountain to monitor the movements of the Ming army at any time, so that Huangzhushan could make timely decisions based on the movements of the Ming army.
Respond.
Secondly, everyone in Huangzhushan was urgently mobilized to start building civil walls and other defensive fortifications, and prepare enough various materials needed for defensive operations, such as rolling logs, boulders, etc.
And more importantly, send people to Jiguan Mountain immediately and let Fang Dongquan and others lead the army back to the court!
Facing the threat of Ming army's attack, whether to attack Jiguan Mountain or not is no longer important.
After all the preparation work was arranged, Liu Bagou found Li Xuan in the evening with a tired look on his face.
"Your Majesty, I have arranged for people to monitor the Ming army, and I have also asked people to speed up the construction of the village wall!" Liu Bagou obviously had not rested for a day.
His expression looked extremely tired, and there was also worry in the tiredness that he wanted to hide, but couldn't.
If Li Xuan was worried about death, then Liu Bagou was worried that his greatest work in his life, the Tang Dynasty, would be annihilated by the Ming army, causing a repeat of what happened in Lijiacun at the beginning of the year.
At that time, the Ming army attacked Lijia Village. The Tang Dynasty, which had just been established for half a year and had been hiding and playing house games, could not hold on for a day. In the end, it was annihilated by three hundred county magistrates led by Zhengtai County Magistrate.
Liu Bagou, Chen Tufu and the others escaped with Li Xuan in a desperate attempt to save the blood of the Tang Dynasty and rebuild the Tang Dynasty.
Liu Bagou slowly regained his confidence in the past six months and worked confidently for the revitalization of the Tang Dynasty.
It was also under his leadership that the Tang Dynasty rapidly expanded in strength. When they escaped from Lijia Village, there were only a few dozen people left. Later, with the addition of Huangzhushan and Shuilongzhai bandit gangs, their population increased.
It exceeded a thousand people.
Later, they successively annexed five surrounding small villages, further expanding the population to more than 1,300 people. If there are no accidents in the future, they will also annex Jiguan Mountain, Huanggui Mountain, and Black Tiger Village.
, in this way, there will be no problem at all if the population exceeds 2,000.
I dare not say that the great cause of the Tang Dynasty has been accomplished by then, but the image of ZTE has appeared. It is just around the corner to capture Zhengtai County and command the troops in surrounding counties.
However, the three bandit dens including Jiguan Mountain have not yet been recovered, and the Ming army has entered the mountain. This undoubtedly casts a shadow on the great achievements of the Tang Dynasty, which had already seen hope.
This made Liu Bagou very worried, worried that the old incident in Lijiacun would happen again!
If officers and soldiers invaded, if Li Xuan died, then the Tang Dynasty would be destroyed, and Liu Bagou would not be able to find another prince to support him and ascend the throne.
So now when he talks to Li Xuan, he looks worried. He is worried about the Tang Dynasty!
Seeing the worry in Liu Bagou's expression, Li Xuan also sighed in his heart!
After talking to Liu Bagou for a few words and telling him to repair the fortifications and monitor the Ming army, Li Xuan returned to the backyard with a worried look on his face.
When they arrived in the backyard, Dong Yunyun saw Li Xuan's worried look and didn't say much. Instead, she took the initiative to take the coat that Li Xuan had taken off.
Zhu'er used to do this kind of thing, but today Dong Yunyun did it personally. However, Li Xuan was absent-minded at this time and didn't notice anything was wrong at all.
Although Dong Yunyun was in the back house, such a big news that the Ming army entered the mountain had already spread throughout Huangzhu Mountain, so she naturally learned the news from others.
After learning the news, her mood was a bit complicated. On the one hand, she was looking forward to the officers and soldiers coming in to rescue her and return to her parents.
But on the other hand, she was a little worried about whether she would be regarded as a member of the rebel family. After all, she had a real relationship with Li Xuan, and everyone in Huangzhushan knew that she was the queen of the Tang Dynasty.
At that time, will the officers and soldiers regard themselves as victims or as family members of the rebels?
Although she has been living in the boudoir all year round, she is not stupid. She naturally knows that once she falls into the hands of officers and soldiers, she will most likely be regarded as a family member of a rebel thief. Even if she does not die, she will probably be sold.
Be a slave.
The family would never dare to save her at this time, and would even renounce all relations and deny that she was the daughter of the Dong family.
Also, if the Ming army breaks through Huang Zhusha, I am afraid that the man in front of me, my nominal husband, will die!
If more than a thousand people in Huangzhushan were captured by officers and soldiers, everyone could survive, but only Li Xuan could not, because he was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty!
If he died...
Thinking of this, Dong Yunyun shook her head fiercely to prevent herself from thinking about this possibility.
Now Dong Yunyun was both afraid and looking forward to the Ming army entering the mountains. In the end, even she herself couldn't explain what she felt.
Li Xuan naturally doesn't know Dong Yunyun's many thoughts, and he is not in the mood to play the guess-me-guess-you love game with Dong Yunyun now.
Just when everyone in Huangzhushan was extremely panicked about the arrival of the Ming army, at the foot of Jiguan Mountain, Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren also received messengers who came overnight the next day.
When he heard the messenger explain that the army had entered the mountain, Fang Dongquan frowned, and then looked at Huang Xueren, Chen Butcher, Qian Mengjiu and the others.
"Everyone, what should we do now?"
Butcher Chen immediately said loudly: "What else can we do? Of course we should go back to Huangzhu Mountain immediately and then fight with the officers and soldiers!"
Huang Xueren on the side said: "And now we don't know whether they have found our Huangzhu Mountain, so how to retreat from the enemy still requires careful planning!"
Fang Dongquan said: "There are four to five hundred Ming troops who entered the mountain this time. It is definitely impossible to fight hard. Just us, even if the number is two or three times larger, we can't defeat these five hundred regular troops!"
At this time, Qian Mengjiu also said: "Yes, we must not let them find Huangzhushan before fighting. We must stop the Ming army on the periphery in advance and choose an opportunity to fight. Otherwise, we will have no land available in Huangzhushan. When the time comes, we will
It will be difficult to stop the Ming army!"
At this time, Huang Xueren looked at Qian Mengjiu: "What Prime Minister Zuo means..."
Qian Mengjiu said: "If we don't go back to Huangzhu Mountain, we will just find a place to ambush the Ming army!"
