Chapter 40: Dangerous Treasure
However, after Huang Xueren proposed this plan, he was opposed by many people.
Liu Bagou said directly: "General Huang, what is Fengjiazhuang, don't you know?" There are more than 100 households in Fengjiazhuang, with a population of hundreds, which is more than the original population of our current Huangzhushan, and it will not be able to be defeated in a short time.
Even if we can fight down, but now that the Ming army is gathered outside the mountain, and cards are set up at every checkpoint, as soon as a large number of our men and horses leave the mountain, the Ming army will immediately know, and then we will not run into the Ming army? ”
After saying that, Liu Bagou turned to Li Xuan and said, "Your Majesty, the lessons of the generals in front of you in the past few months must not be forgotten!" ”
Liu Bagou is right, if it is normal times, there are not so many officers and soldiers guarding outside the mountain, and they can fight this Fengjiazhuang, but now the situation is different, there are so many officers and soldiers outside the mountain, and now they are good bandits nesting in the mountains, and the officers and soldiers can't find the old nest of the bandits in Huangzhushan, and they can't help them for a while.
But if the people of Huangzhushan run out by themselves, this is self-defeating.
At this time, Butcher Chen also said: "Fengjiazhuang is nothing, they don't have many people, and the defense is not strict, if you can launch a surprise attack, it is very easy to take Fengjiazhuang, but those Ming troops are troublesome!" ”
Huang Xueren spoke again at this time: "Your Majesty, Fengjiazhuang has always had business contacts with our Shuilongzhai before, and we have sold a lot of property from them, so the minister has been to Fengjiazhuang many times, whether it is the road or the internal defense of Fengjiazhuang, the minister is clear.
Moreover, Fengjiazhuang is the property of the Feng family in the capital city, and there is not only a large amount of grain hoarded in it, but also many other goods! ”
When he said this, Huang Xueren was resentful, you must know that those grains had a batch of water dragon village that was robbed by black eating black before.
Huang Xueren, who had a look of resentment on his face, continued: "If we can take Fengjiazhuang, then not only will we not have to worry about food, but we will also be able to obtain a large amount of goods, which is enough to lay the foundation of our Datang!" ”
Hearing this, Li Xuan felt a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered that Wang Wenhua, the original dog-legged man, also said the same thing about Shuilongzhai.
At the beginning, Wang Wenhua said that there was a lot of food in the Water Dragon Village, and this reason was also an important reason why the people of Huangzhushan finally made up their minds to attack the Water Dragon Village.
Now Huang Xueren's Fengjiazhuang is even more exaggerated than Shuilongzhai, not only saying that there is a lot of food, but also saying that there are many other belongings, as if it is like a treasure full of treasures, dangerous but full of temptation.
However, as soon as Huang Xueren's words fell, Liu Bagou said again: "Even if Fengjiazhuang has ten thousand taels of gold, we can't take this risk!" ”
As he spoke, he said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, it is too dangerous to go out of the mountain now, once the army out of the mountain is intercepted by the Ming army, then it will cause major damage to the foundation of our Datang!" ”
The last time the landlord took people out, more than 30 deaths had already made Huangzhushan hurt his bones, and if a large number of people were lost under the hands of officers and soldiers when he went out of the mountain this time, the Tang Dynasty would be abolished.
A dynasty with only a thousand subjects can go out and plunder with weapons at most more than 200 people, and if more than 200 people meet the same number or even more officers and soldiers, the result is needless to say, this group of bandits will definitely fail, and it is unknown how many will be able to escape back at that time.
But even if Liu Bagou said this, Li Xuan still didn't speak, because he was also weighing the gains and losses of this matter.
First of all, if Fengjiazhuang can be defeated, the results must be very rich, Fengjiazhuang as the grange of the Feng family in the capital city, in addition to having hundreds of tenants, there is a lot of grain output every year, in fact, this Fengjiazhuang used to be a den of stolen goods, which hoarded a large amount of grain and various goods.
The original Shuilongzhai was a long-term transaction with Fengjiazhuang, and Fang Dongquan and they also traded with Fengjiazhuang.
It's just that I don't know why, the people in Fengjiazhuang suddenly turned their faces with the bandits, and directly gave Shuilongzhai a black and black.
If Fengjiazhuang can be defeated, it will definitely be a good thing.
However, it is not easy to defeat Fengjiazhuang, Fengjiazhuang's own defensive strength is easy to say, for the Tang Dynasty, whose strength has now 'soared' and has more than two hundred troops at its disposal, as long as it is willing to pay a certain price for casualties, there is no problem in taking Fengjiazhuang.
The crux of the matter is that once they leave the mountain, they will definitely attract the attention of the government, and when the time comes, the officers and soldiers will encircle and suppress them, and it will be a question mark whether they can run away in the future and how many people will come back.
This is what Li Xuan is worried about, and it is also the reason for Liu Bagou's resolute opposition.
Li Xuan was silent and didn't speak, and the few people below were also arguing more and more noisy, at first only Liu Bagou and Huang Xueren said that later Chen Butcher, Qian Mengjiu and even Wang Wenhua all joined in.
After half an hour of fierce debate, the important ministers of the Tang Dynasty in the court were divided into two factions, and they were clearly distinguished.
One of them is the supporter represented by Huang Xueren, and Chen Butcher and Wang Xudan all agreed.
And Liu Bagou was the leader, with Qian Mengjiu and Wang Wenhua resolutely opposed, Fang Dongquan because of the impact of the last defeat, this time he also became a firm opposition, he was not against attacking Fengjiazhuang, he was against going out of the mountain.
The last defeat is still vivid in his mind, how dare Fang Dongquan forget the lesson of the last time.
Basically, it can be said that the generals in the court, except for Fang Dongquan, everyone else supports going out to rob Fengjiazhuang, even if it is not a gun Fengjiazhuang, they have to rob other places, in short, they can't starve to death.
And the civil officials in the court, that is, Liu Bagou, Qian Mengjiu, and Huang Wenhua, all oppose it.
Seeing everyone arguing, Li Xuan also had a little headache, he knew that whether to attack Fengjiazhuang was no longer something that could be decided today, let alone something he could decide alone.
This matter is too involved, even if Li Xuan forcibly makes arrangements, the effect is estimated to be not very ideal.
After all, the original bandits in Huangzhushan all recognized Fang Dongquan as the boss, and those people in Shuilongzhai also regarded Huang Xueren, the short second master, as their own boss.
The two of them have a population of 1,000 people in Huangzhu Mountain today, and 200 young people have greater influence and prestige than Li Xuan.
It doesn't matter which side is in favor of this, the other side will have an opinion.
He didn't want to die in the rebellion of his men in a few months before he could buy people's hearts.
So when it comes to this kind of controversial topic, Li Xuan usually chooses to keep his mouth shut, you can make trouble as much as you like, don't come to ask me, anyway, you don't necessarily listen to what I say.
The main battle and the anti-war factions argued endlessly, and Li Xuan did not say a word, which doomed this court discussion to be unable to continue.
However, after the court disbanded, Li Xuan left Huang Xueren behind.
