Valley Emperor

Immediately, Li Xuan took Empress Dowager Bai and Dong Yunyun back to the Temple of the Earth. Afterwards, they packed up and lived in, and naturally a few old mothers who accompanied Empress Dowager Bai and several maids brought by Dong Yunyun and Ye Shi were in charge.

Li Xuan found that the number of maids under the hands of Empress Dowager Bai, Dong Yunyun, and the Ye family had grown considerably since she hadn't gone back in the past few months. There used to be only a few people in total, but now, with Empress Dowager Bai's side There are seven or eight.

In addition to Pearl, Dong Yunyun also had four other maids, and Ye's side also had two little girls waiting on her.

Seeing that Queen Mother Bai and the others were commanding a group of old maids and maids to keep busy, Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh that they would really enjoy it. A group of people were serving him, but he was the emperor and there was no maid to serve him. A maid waited closely, and it was not very good to keep Pearl doing some maid affairs with her.

After all, although Pearl didn't have a name yet, she was still his bedside person. She had shortened the distance between each other to a negative distance several times, so she couldn't keep doing the work of serving people.

Empress Dowager Bai and the others cleaned up the house, and Li Xuan did not get in the way in the house, and soon came out and entered the tent of the Chinese army.

He also called Liu Bagou, Qian Mengjiu, Wang Wenhua, Xie Laotou and other civil officials, as well as Fang Dongquan, Wang Danxu and other generals.

why?

Naturally, it is the most important issue for the new army of the Tang Dynasty to establish a foothold under the mountain. This also includes how to build a weapon workshop, how to maintain the actual rule over the surrounding villages, how to collect taxes, and even how to maintain control over the farther range. actual control of the village.

Each of these things is related to the future development of the Tang Dynasty!

But before discussing these, they still have a more important problem to solve, that is, choosing a permanent residence.

Today, the new army of the Tang Dynasty is stationed in Liushazhuang, which is actually not suitable. Although Liushazhuang is large enough, it is not guarded by a city wall, and the village is extremely scattered, which is not suitable for defense, nor is it suitable to avoid the detection of the Ming army.

In the past few days, Cao Mingda has found a lot of Ming army spies in the outskirts of Liushazhuang, which means that the Ming army already knows that the new army of the Tang Dynasty is currently settled in Liushazhuang. .

When they chose to be stationed in Quicksand Village, Li Xuan and the others had a very simple purpose. Because Quicksand Village was located in the middle and there were many villages around, they could recruit enough troops here in a shorter period of time.

But it is precisely because of this that Quicksand Village lacks concealment and lacks defensive ability!

Li Xuan glanced at the ministers, then said, "Let's talk about it, it's more suitable for us to go there next."

As the head of the group of ministers, Liu Bagou was naturally the first to speak, and only listened to him: "Looking at all places in Zhengtai, there are many suitable places for my Tang Dynasty to temporarily station, and Wei Chen thinks Huangjiazhuang is quite suitable. , our army is quite familiar with the surrounding terrain, and there are high walls to defend, and there are many surrounding villages, and we can also monitor the enemies of Zhengtai and Longhua nearby!"

But at this time Wang Danxu said: "No, although Huangjiazhuang has a high wall, but the place is small, our army has a large number, and there are hundreds of subjects accompanying the army, a small Huangjiazhuang is not enough, and it is only a short distance from Longhua Town. In the near future, every move of our army will be exposed to the eyes of the Ming army!"

Saying that, he stepped forward to a detailed map of Zhengtai erected in front of him, pointed to a place in the southwest of Zhengtai County, about thirty miles away from the mountain, and said, "This place is called 'Xikou Village', located in Zhengtai County. Fifty miles to the southwest, it only takes thirty miles to enter the mountain, whether it is to deal with the enemy of Chint or enter the mountain, it is more convenient.

Moreover, there is a small river to the east and north of this place, and hills and mountains to the south and west, which are very suitable for defensive operations, and the concealment is quite good, and it is more suitable for our army to be stationed! "

"Xikou Village?" After listening to Fang Dongquan on the side, he walked to Wang Danxu's side, took a look at the map, and said, "This terrain is not bad, but isn't it too remote, there are no big villages around it? Ah, this will have a big impact on our conscription in the future!"

At this time, Butcher Chen also said: "What are you afraid of recruiting soldiers, we will recruit people here in Liushazhuang, our army will leave, leaving a team of people here to recruit people is not a problem, this Liushazhuang is not far from Xikou Village, But within twenty miles, recruits can be sent to Xikou Village on the same day they are recruited.”

Liu Bagou also wanted to say something at this time, but he didn't say anything when he opened his mouth. He also knew that the opinions of the civil servants were secondary to the choice of the station, and the main thing was the choice of the generals.

Because this is related to the military strategy of the new army of the Tang Dynasty in the future, it is most important to choose a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and at the same time can escape at any time.

As for establishing a weapons workshop and ruling the surrounding villages, this problem is not a big problem. Even if it is inconvenient, it can be overcome. After all, outside the mountains is not the Huangzhu Mountain in the mountains.

Although Huangzhu Mountain is not far from here in a straight line, it takes many days to walk around the mountain road, and the distance between Liushazhuang and Xikou Village is only one day, and this is the time required for the army to march. If it is an ordinary walk If so, in fact, it only takes two or three hours. You can even get there by walking faster for more than an hour.

Li Xuan waved slightly at this time, Fang Dongquan handed over the map very interestingly, and Li Xuan immediately looked at the map in his hand.

Judging from the map, Wang Danxu worked hard for this Xikou Village, not only a large-scale map showing the approximate location, but also a detailed topographic map of Xikou Village.

Needless to say, Li Xuan also knew that these maps should have been drawn by the students who had trained them himself, because in the entire Tang Dynasty, there were only a dozen people who could draw such detailed military maps, all of them were close The young officers who were born in the guard and have been personally taught by him, Li Xuan.

Judging from this map~www.wuxiaspot.com~ this Xikou Village is indeed a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although the above sign says that the population is not large, only a few hundred people, but the place is big enough, even if it is big Tang Xinjun had several thousand troops, all of whom were stationed there.

Moreover, the small population of Xikou Village is not only not a problem, but an advantage. A small population makes it easier to control, and it is more difficult to leak information.

This can better ensure the secret of the new army of the Tang Dynasty.

After comparing Huangjiazhuang, Liushazhuang, Xikou Village and several other suitable places in his mind in detail, Li Xuan quickly made a decision:

"This is Xikou Village. We will drive to Xikou Village in front of us tomorrow morning!"

Li Xuan is now more and more decisive in his actions. Since Xikou Village is suitable, he will not let his subordinates continue to have unnecessary discussions and make a decision directly.

But after determining the station, there are still a lot of things waiting for them to deal with!

And each of these things is related to the future of the Tang Dynasty!
