Valley Emperor

PS: Since the name of the character, King (Harmony) Danxu, the Great General of the Guards, cannot be displayed normally in QQ reading, it will be renamed Wang Danxu in the future.

As soon as Fang Dongquan said this, everyone else was surprised. Everyone present knew exactly where Longhua Town was.

That is the place where the heavy troops of the Ming army gathered. In the past year, the Ming army has stationed hundreds of guards there all year round. The guards of the Tongan Qianhu Station are stationed in Longhua Town.

Longhua Town is not only an important station for the Ming army in the past year, but also the most important and even the only logistics base for the Ming army nearby.

Now Fang Dongquan actually said that he was going to attack Longhua Town?

Seeing that everyone was puzzled and shocked, Fang Dongquan continued:

"Didn't our spies say earlier that most of the enemy troops in Longhua Town have entered the mountain, and the only ones left behind are two hundred county soldiers. There are so many of us, and there are still guards. Let's fight together. There is great hope in taking down Longhua Town!"

"Once we take Longhua Town and burn their food and grass, the Ming army will definitely retreat back to defend Longhua Town in order to protect their retreat. Even if we can't take Longhua Town, as long as we make this gesture, they must Step out to strengthen your defenses.

So as long as we attack Longhua Town, the Ming army will have to withdraw from the mountain, and by that time, my Datang's foundation in Huangzhu Mountain will be preserved! "

At this moment, Liu Bagou nodded slightly and said, "Encircling Wei to save Zhao, this is a way!"

Qian Mengjiu also pondered for a moment and then said: "Longhua Town is the granary of the Ming army, and it is the place where it will be rescued. If Longhua Town is attacked, the Ming army will retreat from the mountain just around the corner!"

Li Xuan looked at Fang Dongquan and thought to himself, he didn't expect Fang Dongquan to be so courageous that he wanted to attack Longhua Town.

This is something Li Xuan himself would not dare to do!

Even if there is no military talent, Li Xuan also knows that the status of Longhua Town is very important, and the Ming army cannot leave it alone. There will definitely be a large number of Ming troops there.

The military risk of attacking Longhua Town itself is very large.

And Li Xuan was even more worried, and the real reason why he never dared to attack Longhua Town was not that he couldn't capture Longhua Town, but that he was afraid of a series of reactions after taking Longhua Town down!

What's the reaction? That is the shock of the Ming court, and then launched more Ming troops to encircle and suppress his Tang Dynasty!

Unlike Fang Dongquan, Liu Bagou, and Chen Tufu who lacked knowledge, Li Xuanhao said that he had a modern soul. The attention of the local officials, gathering hundreds or thousands of people to encircle and suppress them is basically the limit.

However, if Longhua Town or even Zhengtai County is conquered, the nature will be completely different. By then, the Ming army will not be one or two thousand, but several thousand or even tens of thousands, and the Tang Dynasty will be like a beach. Like a castle, it will be over in minutes.

This is like someone in later generations who foolishly used a few people in their own family to call the empire and build a country. At most, it would attract the suppression of the police station, but it is unlikely to attract the regular army or something.

But if you make a big trouble, for example, gather a group of foolish people to attack important targets such as government buildings and hospitals, then the army will drive over the tanks in minutes, and if you can last five minutes under the artillery fire of the army, you are awesome!

In the same way, in the Ming Dynasty, it was almost the same. You, the Tang Dynasty, entertained yourself in the valley. The local officials in the Ming Dynasty regarded you as a bandit at most, and they didn’t bother to look at you. It’s not because they came to beat you. You threatened the rule of the Ming Dynasty, but local officials took credit for it.

However, if the power of the Tang Dynasty grows and conquers a military town such as Longhua Town, and even captures Zhengtai County, it will effectively threaten the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the local prefectures and counties were no longer able to make decisions on their own. 100% of them would report to the governor and even report to the capital. After all, this kind of thing can be left in the official history for a sentence or two.

When future generations look at the Zhengde Records, they may be able to see this sentence: For forty years, Lear must have rebelled against his father and son. In March of the following year, Longhua and Zhengtai were captured.

In other words, if Longhua Town is attacked, it is very likely that a large number of Ming troops will be attracted. Even if the Ming court does not send the central army down, the guard troops of the surrounding prefectures and counties alone can 100% be able to take the Tang Dynasty. The dynasty was wiped out.

This is also an important reason why Li Xuan has never considered taking the initiative to attack the Ming army under the threat of the Ming army entering the mountains for the past six months.

So when Fang Dongquan said that he wanted to conquer Longhua Town, Li Xuan's first reaction was not to say how many benefits he would get after taking Longhua Town, but the first time he thought of how many people the Ming army would send to encircle him. of the Tang Dynasty.

Maybe 3,000 people will be low grades by then, and it's not uncommon to have 5,000 people in the middle grade, and even a luxurious formation with tens of thousands of people is possible.

In Li Xuan's eyes, Longhua Town is like a hornet's nest. A bucket will cause great trouble for him, and he will be stung to death if he is not careful.

But when he was contemplating, the others were happily discussing the many benefits brought by the capture of Longhua Town, such as explaining that the army would withdraw from the mountains, for example, there must be a lot of people in Longhua Town, etc. Back to Huangzhu Mountain to open up wasteland and cultivate land, maybe we can catch some craftsmen, improve the scientific and technological level of the Tang Dynasty, and make more muskets, swords and other weapons.

Seeing that everyone only saw Longhua Town and focused their eyes on Zhengtai County, Li Xuan sighed secretly, it is not so difficult to bring this group of bandits to rebel!

He coughed lightly, and after everyone's eyes turned to him, Li Xuan said slowly: "What if the Ming court is shaken by taking Longhua Town, and the Ming army sends more people?"

Li Xuan didn't directly say that this Longhua Town is a hornet's nest and can't be hit. If he hits it, the Ming army will jump, and the big guys will be finished. He just put forward a hypothesis and let them think for themselves.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Xuan said these words, the originally lively scene calmed down. Whether it was Fang Dongquan or Liu Bagou, although these people had less knowledge, they were not fools. They were so excited before. Because I didn't expect it.

Now being reminded by Li Xuan, he quickly reacted: Yes, if they captured Longhua Town, what if the Ming army sent more people to encircle and suppress them?

Now the Ming army only has 2,000 people, and half of them are county heroes and people who have made the Tang Dynasty in crisis. What if the Ming army sent more people? You guys don't have to die!

Don't doubt whether there are so many people in the Ming army, even if it's just Xingquan House itself and the guards of several surrounding houses, you can gather thousands of regular troops and then pull in thousands of young men. Pull out an army of ten thousand people.

After everyone pondered for a long time, the commander-in-chief of the Guards, Wang Shanxu, took the lead and said: "The risk of attacking Longhua Town is still too great, but if we just take the attitude of attacking Longhua Town and lead the Ming army out of the mountains, then the impact will be greatly affected. It's not that big anymore!"

Fang Dongquan also said: "Yes, there are also many people in Longhua Town, although most of them are county brave people, but it is a troublesome thing to fight, why don't we pretend to fight Longhua Town, and when the Ming army comes out, we will Just retreat back to the mountain!"

"This way, it's unlikely that they will go into the mountain again for at least a month. After a while, it will be almost Xia busy, and it will be even more impossible for them to enter the mountain by then!"

At this time, Butcher Chen said: "We can also beat up some small villages outside the mountain and bring all those people back to Huangzhu Mountain. In this way, the harvest will not be much less than taking Longhua Town!"

Wang Danxu said: "Yes, the number of craftsmen in the surrounding villages will not be less than that in Longhua Town. We bring these craftsmen back and build more and faster muskets."

As the commander-in-chief of the Guards, Wang Danxu was naturally very concerned about the production of muskets. Some cold weapons such as swords and spears can still be seized from the Ming army, but there is no way to seize the arquebus, because the Ming army themselves do not have this stuff, they only have some extremely primitive handguns.

To make arquebuses, he can only make them himself, and craftsmen are needed to make muskets, so he is very concerned about how many craftsmen he can capture!

Listening to everyone's words, Li Xuan felt that this was a way to make a gesture of attacking Longhua Town, but not really attacking Longhua Town, so that the Ming army who entered the mountain would feel threatened, and it would not cause the Ming army's big attack. shock.

You can casually hit a dozen surrounding villages or something to increase the population of the Tang Dynasty.

Immediately said: "Since this is the case, then we can't delay, we will go out tomorrow!"

When speaking, he looked around at everyone present, and said in a very cautious tone: "But we are going to fight Longhua Town, but we are only besieging and not attacking, as soon as the Ming army comes out of the mountain~www.wuxiaspot.com~ we immediately retreat back. Mountain!"

Longhua Town is a hornet's nest. It's okay to pretend that you want to stab the hornet's nest, but you can't really stab it. If you do, be careful to be stung into a pig's head.

The Datang Dynasty was a start-up dynasty, and its administrative efficiency was 'extremely high'. Several bandit leaders went out to shout twice. Basically, everyone knew that they were going to go out and scramble tomorrow, so everyone started to make various preparations one after another.

In the early morning of the next day, the bandits in Huangzhu Mountain came out of the mountain in a mighty manner, and this time they did not really want to take down Longhua Town. The main purpose was to lead the main force of the Ming army out of the mountain.

Therefore, although there is no big fanfare along the way, it is not deliberately secretive, and even a few Ming army spies are specially let go, just so that the Ming army spies can report in time and let the leading Ming army generals know that they The Datang Tianbing was about to go out of the mountains to attack Longhua Town.

The bandits in Huang Zhushan set out, and they were still heading out of the mountain. The news was soon learned by Mr. Wu and Diao Leixun.

Mr. Wu pondered for a while and then Da Dao said, "Not good! ’
