Valley Emperor
Vol 2 Chapter 250: The rain is coming
The next morning, Li Xuan walked out of Dong Yunyun's room with black eyes and weak legs!
Last night, he was incapacitated, Dong Yunyun and Pearl took turns to go to battle, the three of them tossed for two hours, and it was finally over. After Dong Yunyun and Pearl fell asleep, he got up secretly again and went to the next door. In Ye's room, after another tossing, Ye fell asleep with a satisfied smile, and then he returned to Dong Yunyun's room.
As a result, Dong Yunyun found out that he had sneaked out. As a result, Dong Yunyun woke up Pearl, and the two women launched a new round of revenge against him.
This tossing was not finished until almost dawn.
He hadn't slept for two hours before he got up.
Even though he was very tired last night, he couldn't sleep late today, because today was the day when the army set out for Xikou Village in front of him.
According to the plan they made yesterday, all the army will be launched today, bringing civil and military officials, as well as many craftsmen and young adults to Xikou Village.
Yesterday, Wang Danxu had already brought a part of the vanguard troops to Xikou Village to prepare. We got news early this morning that Wang Danxu and the others had successfully arrived in Xikou Village, and had controlled and blocked hundreds of villagers in the village. Get up, make sure no one escapes, and tip off Ming Jun's government.
Since yesterday, Liu Bagou and Fang Dongquan have also started to prepare. After Li Xuan arrived at the tent of the Central Army with weak legs, everything was ready and ready to go.
Li Xuan asked if the preparations would be ready, and there was no unnecessary nonsense, so he just ordered the start!
Following the order of Li Xuan, the transfer of the Tang Dynasty officially began. The army set off in a neat line. In the middle of the army, there was a large amount of baggage with the baggage battalion as the core. These baggages not only contained a large amount of food, but And some other mess, including numerous weapons and so on.
As for the gold and silver, they were carried by Li Xuan's bodyguards as usual!
And the Empress Dowager Bai also took the radiant three daughters Dong Yunyun, Pearl, and Ye Shi to the carriage to go together. The Empress Dowager Bai looked at these three radiant women, and then looked at her son, who was obviously dark-eyed. His face was not very good-looking, and he said to the three women on the spot: "Even if you are young, you must know how to control yourself!"
This rude remark made Dong Yunyun's three daughters put away the smiles on their faces in an instant, and then bowed their heads obediently.
They still don't know that the Queen Mother Bai is really upset, but the main reason for her upset is not because they tossed Li Xuan all night, but because it has been so long since last year, when Li Xuan was still in Huangzhu Mountain. , I sleep with them basically every night, but I haven't seen any eggs come out.
Now it's all done to make Queen Mother Bai wonder if her son has a physical problem. If a woman is not pregnant, it can be said to be a woman's problem, but three women are not pregnant, which is obviously unlikely to be a woman's problem.
At this time, she had already made a secret decision in her heart. Now that she has left the mountain, she has to find a doctor to give Li Xuan a good look.
The Tang Dynasty can have no heir to the throne, but their Li family can't break the incense!
It was naturally impossible for Li Xuan to know what the Empress Dowager Bai was thinking, and he was still busy now.
It's not that easy to start this army, it's not just about leaving, there will always be a lot of messy things in the middle.
The total number of people in this transfer of the Tang Dynasty exceeded 1,500 people. It is not easy to bring a team of 1,500 people, because these 1,500 people are not all troops.
If they were all the army, it would be simple, and they could each follow the command. However, among the 1,500 people, only nearly 1,000 were the army, and the remaining 500 were officials, craftsmen and young men.
Those ordinary people are used to obeying orders like soldiers, and will always do some messy things.
Fortunately, Xikou Village is not too far from Liushazhuang, only more than 20 miles away. One day is enough, and Wang Danxu has already made preparations in advance to welcome the army at Xikou Village.
After running around for a long time, they finally arrived at Xikou Village in the afternoon.
After arriving at Xikou Village, Fang Dongquan and Liu Bagou were busy setting up their troops, while Li Xuan himself took Zeng Ziwen and several officers up a hill in Xikou Village to observe the entire Xikou Village from a height.
Just like what he saw on the map yesterday, the entire Xikou Village is located on the edge of a small river. The river turned a corner when it passed Xikou Village, so that the north and east sides were surrounded by rivers.
The northern and eastern parts of Xikou Village are obviously small plains formed by the alluvial water of the river for thousands of years, covered with fields and full of green crops.
However, the area of this small plain is not large, and it is not even as big as the plain at the foot of Huangzhu Mountain. Based on the area of this small plain and the grain output of this era, it is probably enough to feed about a thousand people at most.
However, on the opposite side of the river is a rolling hill, and the hills are close to the river, and there are many long and narrow flat wilderness. If the wasteland can be opened up, I am afraid that it will not be a problem to feed tens of thousands of people.
But it is not easy to open up wasteland. To open up wasteland is not only to get rid of weeds, but also to build water conservancy facilities such as flood control facilities. Otherwise, these flat wilderness will instantly turn into a barn in the rainy season. Ze.
The amount of engineering to build the flood control is not small, and it is probably because of this that this narrow and flat wilderness on the other side of the river has never been reclaimed.
To the west and south of Xikou Village are small rolling hills. The houses of the villagers are built among the hills. Like many villages, the houses of the villagers are scattered among the houses, and there are still some hills between the houses. There are few dry lands that have been reclaimed from wasteland, and some crops are also planted on these dry lands.
In the west of Xikou Village, it is still a little hilly terrain, but in the south, the hills are getting higher and higher, and finally connected with the mountains.
Strictly speaking, the location of Xikou Village can barely be regarded as the edge of the mountain.
After observing the terrain, Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction. This place is quite suitable as a place to train and support the army, more suitable than Huangzhu Mountain.
You can attack when you advance, you can defend when you retreat, and when things go wrong, you can run straight back into the mountains!
Although there is not much arable land, there are a lot of wasteland available for development. As long as you spend some effort~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to develop the wasteland on the other side of the river is not a problem.
Building water conservancy facilities may be a difficult task for the original hundreds of villagers in Xikou Village, but it was nothing to the Tang Dynasty.
The total population of Xikou Village is only a few hundred people, and the young and strong are only more than a hundred people. There is simply not enough manpower to build the flood control on the other side of the river. However, the Tang Dynasty was different. Almost all of them were 1,500 people. Young and strong, all of them are pre-determined laborers. If they really want to mobilize to build flood control, it will take a month.
It was just that Li Xuan wanted to run Xikou Village as a base, but the Ming army did not give him this time.
It was less than three days after the new army of the Tang Dynasty moved to Xikou Village. The spies who had been sent to Fucheng two weeks ago to monitor the movements of the Ming army suddenly returned to Xikou Village and brought back a piece of news that shocked Li Xuan and others. The army gathered in the direction of Fucheng, and will soon go to Chint to suppress the bandits!
What bandit?
Of course it was the Tang Dynasty!
For a time, the rain is coming!
