Valley Emperor

Listening to Wang Wenhua's words, Li Xuan also showed a satisfied look, not because of Wang Wenhua's compliment, but because he was very happy.

When he first came to this era two years ago, he never imagined that today, he would be able to ride a tall horse and step into the city gate of Xingquan Mansion, and he was still an occupier.

How poor he was at that time, he had the title of Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, but there were only dozens of people around him, and later he completely became the leader of the bandits.

In the past two years, Li Xuan has been in fear for most of the time, for fear that he will be arrested by the government that day, and he will suffer all the time.

But today, two years later, he led the army to defeat the tens of thousands of Ming's army and captured the city of one city.

As a mountain emperor, it is not easy to be able to lead a dynasty like every family to this day.

Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the hard life he had spent in the past two years!

Fortunately, now the situation has finally opened up. After conquering Xingquan Mansion, what you get is not just one city, but the entire Xingquan Mansion with a population of more than 300,000 people and a land of 200 miles.

Using these 300,000 people, he can pull out tens of thousands of troops, and then resist more Ming troops and occupy more territory.

Maybe in the future, I can really occupy a province or even several provinces and become a famous rebel in China. Even if I can't beat the Ming Dynasty in the end, but I can do this, and I will not waste my time traveling through a battle. .

Even among countless traversers, he is considered a powerful character, maybe he can still be among the best.

Compared with some historical celebrities who still kneeled and licked after the time traveled to ancient times, and then worked hard to participate in the imperial examinations to become officials, and to the emperor’s knees every day, Li Xuan can proudly say that after coming to this era, his His knees have never been bent, only others kowtow to him.

Those who have traveled to the ancient times and did not rebel, but still go to all kinds of ancient people with a perverted mentality. Li Xuan despised them, and they all crossed and mixed into this bird. It is better to kill them with quick tofu. never mind.

Traveling without rebellion, the chrysanthemum sets the electric drill, Li Xuan deeply agrees with this sentence!

Thinking of this, Li Xuan couldn't help but smile.

At this time, Li Xuan consciously forgot that in the first year of his arrival in this era, he also thought about running away every three days.

People, it's all like this, after a little bit of achievement, I forget a lot of my previous misfortunes.

At this time, Wang Wenhua thought that his flattery was right, but he would think that the current Li Xuan's smile is purely because he thinks he is very powerful. As for Wang Wenhua's flattery, it is just icing on the cake.

If anyone could know about Li Xuan's recent psychological changes, he would have to say a few words to him: young man, don't put your tail up when you get some grades, and be careful to be struck to death by lightning. ..

However, Li Xuan concealed his state of mind very well. At least the ministers of civil and military affairs in the Tang Dynasty did not realize that Li Xuan is now in deep self-bragging and cannot extricate himself. He has swelled!

Well, but it can also be said to be self-confidence.

Riding on a high-headed horse, Li Xuan, who was dressed in military uniform, always kept a faint smile on his face, and then slowly entered the city accompanied by his personal guards and ministers.

And this is also the second time that Li Xuan has entered this ancient city two years after he came to this era!

And these two times, they entered in the attitude of conquerors. The first time was when they captured Zhengtai County, but that time the new army of the Tang Dynasty only stayed in Zhengtai County for one night, and because of the emergency of the war, Li Xuan did not Time to look carefully at Zhengtai County, just glanced at the flowers.

But it is different now. There are not tens of thousands of Ming troops waiting to attack Xingquan Mansion, and if there is no accident, his Datang Dynasty will also settle down in Xingquan Mansion City. The cabinet was brought here.

Once in the city, the cabinet can work on the spot and start to rule over the entire three counties of Xingquan Prefecture.

This means that the Datang Dynasty will settle in Xingquan City for a long time, and Li Xuan, as the Emperor of the Datang Dynasty, naturally needs to stay in Xingquan City for a long time, because this time the Datang Dynasty is not only the capture Xingquan Mansion, but also moved the capital.

In this way, Li Xuan has more interest and time to observe and look at this ancient city!

The layout of Xingquan Palace City is the same as that of most ancient cities of this era.

There is also a school ground where the defenders in the city are stationed and trained on weekdays. At the same time, there are Fucang and Xiancang beside it.

There are also standard buildings in other cities, such as the Temple of the City God, the Academy, the Wenchang Pavilion and so on.

The entire city is about eight miles in circumference, and it is not a big place, but it can be considered a remote place in the southwest. There are many shops on both sides of the street as Li Xuan walks on the street, which shows that the business of this place is It can be considered to have a certain scale.

After all, it is a city with a population of 300,000 people. Even if it is an inferior government in a remote place in the southwest, there are still some things that should be there.

Of course, Li Xuan is not very interested in Xingquan Mansion itself. For the Tang Dynasty, this place is simply an administrative center, and the development of the Tang Dynasty naturally cannot rely on a mere city. Li Xuan is more concerned with the vast rural areas outside the cities.

Only by controlling and relying on these areas can the Tang Dynasty get enough troops, food and even weapons.

When Li Xuan arrived at the prefect's yamen, the troops who entered the city in the early days had already cleaned up the entire prefect's yamen, but there were faint traces of blood and fighting on the ground.

At the same time, Li Xuan also learned that the most senior official in Xingquan Mansion, and Xingquan Mansion's fellow Chang Chuan had committed suicide by taking poison. It is a pity that this person died. If he can capture this person alive, he can use his identity to do something. make a fuss.

However, it was nothing if Chang Chuan was not captured alive. There were many officials at all levels in Xingquan Mansion, and not everyone had the same courage or willingness to commit suicide as Chang Chuan.

Most went into hiding, and some were captured.

These people will be used by the Tang Dynasty regardless of whether they want to or not. It is best to surrender willingly, but not willing to surrender. Even if they are recalcitrant, Li Xuan has a way to use them.

For example, they wrote a confession in their name, touting the greatness of the Tang Dynasty and Li Xuan's wiseness. By then, the seals and handprints would be readily available. Who would dare to say that these were not written by them themselves.

Of course, use these officials and captives to do some flattery, and there is no need to hurry.

The most important thing now is to completely control the inside and outside of Xingquan Mansion, to suppress the broken Ming army in the city, to suppress some recalcitrant local gentry, and at the same time to send troops to take down the third county company and county of Xingquan Mansion. Complete control over the three counties of Xingquan Prefecture.

It is not difficult to clean up the remnants of the Xingquan Mansion City and the big households who are recalcitrant. It can even be said to be simple. The first and second infantry battalions entering the city have already begun to gradually eliminate the remnants of the Ming army in the city. It is expected that by tomorrow, Xingquan City will be completely restored to calm.

As for the attack on Lianhe County, Li Xuan also has a case against him. After the initial stabilization tomorrow, he will send a partial division to attack Lianhe County.

Lianhe County is not large, and there are not many defenders in the county seat. From a military point of view, it cannot resist the attack of the new Tang army.

But who to send? Or let Hao Bainian or Li Chunjing go? Inappropriate, they have had too many opportunities recently, and they have made enough credit. It is time to give the opportunity to others, but besides them, who else can serve as the commander-in-chief of the army?

Should we continue to promote young officers from the Guards, or should we strike a balance and choose one from Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren, and Wang Danxu?

In this regard, Li Xuan was unable to pay attention for a while.

From the perspective of military construction~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It is best to continue to promote young officers from the Guards who have entered the Imperial Academy. They have gradually grown up, and many have become deputy battalion officers and team officers. official.

However, he has recently promoted Hao Bainian, Li Chunjing, Fang Xi and others, and these three people have been reused in the recent two wars. Hao Bainian has served as the commander of the main force for many times. Fang Xitong and Li Chunjing have also been on their own. Leading not only the mixed battalion of its headquarters, but also other troops.

To a certain extent, in these two battles, Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren, Wang Danxu and the others have already become their subordinates. You don't need to guess Li Xuan to know that this has already caused Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren, and Wang Danxu to complain.

Although in the long run, Li Xuan intends to slowly leave these old-fashioned generals from bandits from the high ranks of the front-line troops, but this process cannot be too fast, and it cannot fall to the ground. Now that the Tang Dynasty is on the rise, it is necessary to The purpose is to buy people's hearts, not to get down. We must let the existing generals and the generals and generals who may join Datang's new drama in the future know that the Datang Dynasty treats heroes kindly and will never learn to kill birds like Zhu Chongba. With all your tricks, you can rest assured and come to join me, and you will have a lot of glory and wealth!

But to tell the truth, if Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren, and the others lead thousands of people to attack Lianhe County, he would not be at ease. These generals who were former bandit chiefs had limited ability to tell the truth.

Even Wang Danxu, who is in a slightly better situation, is still ignorant of big characters, and his understanding of military theory is close to zero. They rely on experience and bravery to fight.

After hesitating for a long time, Li Xuan still didn't make up his mind. He finally decided to sleep first and wait until tomorrow when the strategy meeting was held during the day. It's better to have a strategic inquiry, which is better than deciding directly and privately. .
