At the beginning of the battle of Luohu Valley, it was Diao Leixun who led people to escape, so that Zeng Ziwen was defeated and taken prisoner, if Diao Leixun did not escape with people at that time, then the five or six hundred Ming troops in the valley at that time were not just two or three hundred bandits could take down.

As soon as Diao Leixun ran away, Zeng Ziwen became the general of the defeated army, not to mention being a prisoner, and he was 'killed in battle'.

However, Diao Leixun, who escaped, was crowned as a "meritorious rescuer" and succeeded Zeng Ziwen as the thousand households of Tong'an Thousand Households, so it can be seen that he must have participated in the matter of being "killed in battle".

For Diao Leixun, Zeng Ziwen undoubtedly hated it very much.

He didn't hate the bandits in Huangzhushan who ambushed and defeated him, but hated Diao Leixun and even Su Jiakang who led people to escape, if there was no such resentment, Zeng Ziwen would not have finally agreed to Li Xuan's solicitation after struggling for half a year.

"A cowardly and cowardly person like Diao Leixun will never dare to lead the army to battle without authorization, even if he leads the army to fight, it is impossible to pose any threat to us, but it will severely damage Diao Leixun's army!" Zeng Ziwen's words were full of disdain for Diao Leixun.

Li Xuan listened to Zeng Ziwen's words, but he didn't think much about it, he naturally couldn't understand Zeng Ziwen's inner thoughts, all he needed was Zeng Ziwen's understanding of the Ming army.

After all, Zeng Ziwen used to be a thousand households of Tong'an Thousand Households, and he knew a lot about the Ming Army, especially the Tong'an Thousand Households, and his words had great reference value.

"In this way, there should be no risk for us to attack Fengjiazhuang!" Li Xuan said slowly: "Since this is the case, then Mr. Zeng will also go back to rest early, and follow me to Fengjiazhuang early tomorrow morning!" ”

After Zeng Ziwen heard this, he bowed slightly and retreated!

Seeing Zeng Ziwen bow slightly before going out, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Xuan's mouth, maybe it won't be long before this Zeng Ziwen shouted: "The minister retreats!" "That's it.

So far, Zeng Ziwen still refuses to call Li Xuan the honorific title of emperor, majesty or lord, but he will not directly call Li Xuan by name or other derogatory titles as before, but vaguely and directly ignore the title of Li Xuan in the dialogue.

But even so, Zeng Ziwen has shown considerable respect in some details and actions.

Li Xuan can also guess some of Zeng Ziwen's inner thoughts, either because he can't pull off his son, or because he is worried that he really holds the official position of the Tang Dynasty, and his family will be affected after being discovered by the government in the future.

However, Li Xuan believes that with the passage of time, this Zeng Ziwen will let go of these worries and finally truly claim to Li Xuan.

Of course, the premise is that the Tang Dynasty has not fallen, and he, the emperor of the ravine, has not died.

Early the next morning, the Tang Dynasty King quietly pulled out from a small village where he had temporarily spent the night, and looked at the bandits of Huangzhushan who left, and the villagers in the small mountain village were all relieved.

Yesterday, when I heard that the bandits from Huangzhushan were going to set up camp in the village, the 20 or so families in the village were all afraid, fearing that all their food and property would be robbed, and even more worried that their wives and daughters would be ruined.

But fortunately, these bandits in Huangzhushan seem to be different from ordinary bandits, although they occupy all the houses in the village, and gather all of them in the ancestral hall to watch them, but they are embarrassed, even the food is not all robbed, but a large part of the villagers are left.

This different group of bandits left a pretty good impression on the villagers, after all, the bandits who did not steal all the food and did not kill on a large scale were considered good bandits.

So much so that when the Tang Dynasty Emperor left the next day, he asked those villagers according to the usual practice whether there would be any villagers to join the great Tang Dynasty.

As long as you join the Tang Dynasty Wangshi, you will be full every day, and you will be guaranteed to drink wine in a big bowl every day, eat meat in a big mouthful, and you will also get a piece of Anjia food, which is not much, just ten catties, and the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning.

But for the few who are on the brink of starvation, it is still a life-saving ration.

Although it is too exaggerated for the Tang Dynasty to say that there is wine and meat to eat every day, it still attracted several villagers from poor families to join, and these young people who volunteered to join are the kind of people who have no land at home, have a lot of people in their families, and can't eat enough all year round.

Joining the Tang Dynasty Wang Shi is naturally not for the justice that Qian Mengjiu and they preach, just for a bite to eat, or simply to leave a ration for the younger siblings at home.

For these young men who volunteered to join the Tang Dynasty Prince's Division, Li Xuan naturally welcomed them very much.

Those who voluntarily join are much better than those who are forcibly coerced.

Two days ago, the bandits of Huangzhushan also used the custom of holding some young people to act as people everywhere they went, but this behavior was quickly stopped by Li Xuan.

It's not that Our Lady Li Xuan has a heart attack and feels that it hurts heaven to coerce the young and strong, but because they are now mobile warfare, and the quality of the personnel is relatively high, and these young and strong people who are coerced can't go to the battlefield, and it is impossible to fight the Ming army with swords and guns.

At most, it is to act as a transportation and transportation baggage for the people, and it is useless in ordinary times, and these people will run away as soon as they find an opportunity, which is an unstable factor for the Tang Dynasty royal division who is out on the expedition.

What's more, these people will also waste the already small amount of military food of the Tang Dynasty.

For this reason, Li Xuan personally decided to change the previous coercion policy and adopt a recruitment method.

The young people in those villages are welcome if they want to join, and if they don't join, they don't force it, and there is no shortage of these people who transport things anyway.

However, this recruitment policy is limited to the young and strong who replenish the army and does not include the general population.

The bandits in Huangzhushan still have a plan to send the population back to Huangzhushan on a large scale, but the plan to rob the population will be carried out in the middle and late stages, at least Fengjiazhuang must be robbed first, and the food crisis will be initially solved.

The bandits in Huangzhushan staggered all the way, and finally arrived at the familiar Fengjiazhuang in the afternoon.

After arriving outside Fengjiazhuang, Li Xuan saw for the first time what kind of village this old friend of the Tang Dynasty was.

The first time he saw Fengjiazhuang, Li Xuan was shocked!

From a distance, it can be easily found that Fengjiazhuang is very different from many villages they have seen along the way, the most conspicuous of which is that they have a wall, and the wall is not short, it is nearly a foot high, and it is not a wooden fence commonly used in ordinary villages, but an earthen masonry structure, and the walls of ordinary remote towns are not as high as the walls of Fengjiazhuang.

Under the wall, there is a small ditch as a moat, only a suspension bridge is left in front of the wall, this is a village, this is clearly a fortress.

Seeing the first scene of this Fengjiazhuang, Li Xuan was a little puzzled, how did Huang Xueren break through Fengjiazhuang last year, looking at the posture of this Zhuangzi, it doesn't look like it can be easily broken by a group of two or three hundred bandits!
