If it is another dynasty, for the emperor of a country to lead an army to personally conquer this kind of thing, there will definitely be a bunch of people running out to say, Your Majesty, as the Holy Monarch of the Ages, the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, must not be involved in danger in person, especially Liu Bagou will definitely think twice.

But on the side of the Tang Dynasty, especially on Li Xuan, no one came out to dissuade him, even after the Empress Dowager Bai learned about it, she only frowned slightly and muttered, 'It's all a bunch of waste'.

The nonsense that Empress Dowager Bai said naturally refers to Liu Bagou, Hao Bonian and other civil and military ministers, if it weren't for their scum, but the Ming army was beaten to the ground, why would the emperor have to take the whole army to conquer at every turn.

But the Empress Dowager Bai didn't say anything else!

Because he knew that at this juncture, Li Xuan's pro-campaign was very necessary.

On the one hand, the emperor's personal conscription can effectively stimulate morale, and can command the whole army more efficiently, instead of passing military orders back and forth through heralds, as is the case now, which will delay the military situation.

On the other hand, and at the same time, it is also more important that the whole army must be able to fight against the Ming army, and all the troops are sent out, and Li Xuan only has hundreds of guards left around him, to be honest, Li Xuan is not at ease.

In case the Ming army from Huguang was killed at this juncture, wouldn't Li Xuan, who only had a few hundred people around him, be finished.

Moreover, after the army is exhausted, Li Xuan, as the emperor, will inevitably decline in his control over the troops, and if the generals outside have any rebellious intentions, Li Xuan must not cry to death.

There are many reasons that prompted Li Xuan to decide to lead the army to fight in person, not because Li Xuan likes to command the army to fight, let alone because he likes to go to the battlefield.

In fact, Li Xuan is afraid of death, if he can, he also wants to hide in the rear and have fun, and sit back and watch the front-line soldiers fight to death.

However, the Tang Dynasty has a small business, and he has not yet reached the point where he can enjoy himself in the rear.

After deciding to go on a personal expedition, Li Xuan followed the previous practice and took away the civil and military ministers related to the war, such as Qian Mengjiu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and most of the personnel of the Privy Council, including Zeng Ziwen, these personnel will surround Li Xuan and continue to form a central decision-making center.

In addition to these important personnel, although the Third Infantry Regiment has not yet fully formed an army, it also needs to be brought, in addition to Li Xuan's personal guard battalion, it naturally needs to be brought, but he also left a team of personal guard troops on the side of Xingquan Mansion to protect the Empress Dowager Bai, Dong Yunyun, Ye Shi and others, if the Ming army is attacking or someone rebels, these people from the personal guard battalion can evacuate with the Empress Dowager Bai and others in time.

When Hao Bonian and the others on the front line learned that their Majesty was going to personally recruit again, they did not show much surprise, because they knew very well that their own Emperor Majesty had already personally conquered many times.

Basically, every large-scale battle of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xuan led the army to fight in person and went to the front line to fight and command.

The subordinate generals were actually used to Li Xuan's style.

However, Li Xuan's arrival still made the subordinate generals a little more cautious, and when making various tactical choices, they often considered more things, rather than fighting by temperament as before, or even wanting to play a game.

Just when Li Xuan led the Chinese army to start the personal expedition, hundreds of miles away, in Longliwei, which was located on the east side of Guiyang Mansion, Zhu Zhihai had just arrived with 6,000 people from Fubiao directly under him.

Their marching speed was not slow, and they had walked dozens of miles in a few days, but the speed of the army's march was not as fast as it was, and the mountainous terrain of Guizhou made the already unfast marching speed even slower.

After arriving at Longliwei, Zhu Zhihai was busy summoning local officials, and then prepared to take Longliwei's troops and grain and grass to continue eastward.

However, at this time, he had already received the latest information, saying that Liping Mansion City had been taken by the puppet Tang thief army!

When he first heard the news, he couldn't help but burst into a rage, and then scolded: It's all Song Zhiwen's bastard, if he hadn't deceived and indulged Li Wei, how could a mere pseudo-Tang rebel break the two mansions in a row.

"Hurry, we must speed up, and if we arrive one day earlier, we will destroy the puppet Tang thief army one day earlier!" Zhu Zhihai kept urging the people below to speed up.

When he set off from Guiyang Provincial City two days ago, Zhu Zhihai was full of confidence, and he was full of confidence to the officials and gentry in the city.

After only two days, the confidence disappeared, and instead of appearing, there was a look of anxiety.

Could it be that he was worried about something?

Could it be that the governor is really worried that those clowns who jump off the beam of the puppet Tang thief army can really become bigger?

But how is this possible, this time they gathered at least 50,000 soldiers and horses, and it was not easy to annihilate a group of anti-thieves.

Even if more than half of their 50,000 soldiers and horses are young and strong people who were temporarily recruited, they are more than 50,000 people anyway, and as time goes by, the total number of troops will further increase after the soldiers and horses from the western part of Guizhou also come over.

With such a huge number of troops, it is not a matter of being able to capture a mere puppet Tang thief army.

How could there be an accident?

How could it be possible for the Governor to show such a nervous expression?

The situation on Zhu Zhihai's side, Li Xuan and the others naturally don't know, and now all the departments of the Datang New Army have already begun to prepare for the war in accordance with the latest battle plan.

The First Infantry Corps and the Second Infantry Regiment left Lipingfu City directly, and threw the huge Lipingfu City to Sun Yawei and other civilian officials, and the security and even defense tasks in the city could only be handed over to the robbery camp that had just been built for a few days and numbered only more than 300 people.

As the first prefect of the Tang Dynasty, Sun Yawei's status in the Tang Dynasty can be said to be on par with that of senior cabinet officials, so he also knew the change in military strategy for the first time, and even knew that His Majesty had personally led the army to conquer in person.

At that time, the main force of the Datang New Army will all go north, at least in the next half month, the western part of Liping Mansion and even the city of Liping Mansion itself, don't expect to be able to get the support of the regular army of the Datang New Army.

The western part of Liping Province and even the city of Liping Province have been temporarily abandoned by the military!

During this period of time, if the Ming army killed from the western part of Liping Province, or even all the way to Liping Province, then this Liping City would not have the slightest ability to resist.

Based on this, Li Xuan had already issued an order to Sun Yawei in advance, asking Sun Yawei to implement the transfer plan, withdraw all the population and even all strategic materials in the city, and transfer them to the eastern part of Liping Mansion and even to Xingquan Mansion.

So as soon as the army left, Sun Yawei couldn't wait to start the transfer plan!

First of all, all the craftsmen that the Tang Dynasty valued the most, none of them could be left, whether they wanted to or not, they were all packed and taken away.

Then there are all kinds of materials, whether it is grain, cloth, gold, silver, copper, iron, everything that can be taken away.

And for the population of almost 20,000 or so in the city, the young and strong are all packed and taken away, and the old and young women and children can stay!

In short, Sun Yawei's strategy is that the city of Liping Mansion can be given to the Ming army, and those who are unwilling to leave, especially the gentry, can also stay, and the old and weak women and children can also stay, but all kinds of strategic materials, especially the grain cloth related to the people's livelihood, gold and silver, copper and iron strategic materials, etc., must all be taken away.

The young and strong population is also a strategic material, they can work and become soldiers, so they can't stay, they must be taken away, so as not to be used by the Ming army.

When the Ming army fights, it always likes to temporarily recruit a large number of young people, which the new army of the Tang Dynasty knows that if thousands of young people are left in the city, when the Ming army comes, these young people will be forcibly recruited by the Ming army, so it is better to recruit them now.

For a time, the whole city of Liping Mansion was boiling, and many people were willing to evacuate with the new army of the Tang Dynasty, and they just brought their belongings softly, and then merged into the crowd and walked out of the city gate, and then headed towards the east.

In this process, there are naturally cries and screams!

The streets of Liping Mansion City were once again soaked in blood, which was caused by the conflict that broke out in the process of recruiting various strategic materials and recruiting young people.

Of course, if it was made public in the announcement, it would definitely not be said so, Sun Yawei shamelessly posted such a notice: The people welcome the transfer!

The proclamation is as obscure as many official documents, and it is incomprehensible to go around and around, but if it is translated and explained, it can be generally seen as follows: the people in the city highly support the Tang Dynasty and enthusiastically follow the great cause of the Tang Dynasty. The gentry and large families took the initiative to donate their family property, and promising young people joined the army one after another.

Great! I'm the Tang Dynasty!

Long live our emperor!

The emergency evacuation lasted for three days, and after three days, more than 8,000 of the city's original 20,000 people were forcibly evacuated, most of them were young men and women, old and weak, but they were skilled craftsmen and their families.

A small number of the gentry have joined the ranks of the migration, and these relocated gentry are all children or simply the head of the family is an official in the Tang Dynasty, regardless of whether they are forced or willing to be officials of the Tang Dynasty, but when the Ming army comes, they all have to die, so they also evacuate with the army.

More gentry and big families will naturally not evacuate with them, even if the new army of the Tang Dynasty robs them of their gold and silver, but the heritage of these gentry and big families is naturally not these gold and silver, their industries are very large, and it is nothing to be robbed of some cash for a while.

Therefore, most of the gentry and wealthy families stayed, and then started to dream of welcoming the king.
