Chapter 49 Serving the Emperor
The people outside shouted so loudly that even Dong Yunyun in the room could hear it clearly.
"Are you back?" Dong Yunyun muttered to herself, and then walked out of the door, at this time, Zhu'er also heard the sound, came out of it, walked to Dong Yunyun's side and said:
"Miss, are those who went to Fengjiazhuang back?"
Dong Yunyun said: "I don't know, it's not those who go to Fengjiazhuang, it should be those who bring officers and soldiers!" ”
Huang Zhushan's soldiers were divided into two routes, attracting officers and soldiers all the way, and sneaking up on Fengjiazhuang all the way, which should have been regarded as the highest-level military secret in the Tang Dynasty, Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren were still hiding it before they set off.
But after they left, in fact, the division plan of a group of bandits in Huangzhushan had already been known to the ordinary people in Huangzhushan, and even the three-year-old child knew that the soldiers who went out of the mountain this time were divided into two ways, attracting officers and soldiers all the way, and sneaking up on Fengjiazhuang all the way.
Although Zhu'er and Dong Yunyun rarely had contact with those people outside, they also learned about it from a few old mothers who worked in the 'palace'.
Dong Yunyun and the others all heard the news that everyone was back, and the others outside knew about it early.
Some of the old and infirm women and children who were working in the fields or in the houses went up to the fields, walked out of the doors, and then looked into the distance, expecting their husbands, fathers, and sons to appear.
Because it represents peace.
They also expect the returnees to carry a large amount of food with them, because it will allow them to have food to eat and survive the food shortage until next year's summer harvest.
Li Xuan, who was originally training the guards on the playground, knew the news in advance, and is now waiting with Liu Bagou and Qian Mengjiu.
Unlike other ordinary people who didn't know that it was the specific centaur who came back, Li Xuan had already learned from the messenger who came back one step earlier that the centaur who came back this time was not Fang Dongquan or Huang Xueren alone, but these two groups of centaurs came back together.
From the messenger just now, we learned that the officers and soldiers who had been chasing Fang Dongquan in the mountains a few days ago suddenly retreated, and they withdrew from the mountains as quickly as the tide of the ebb tide.
Why?
Because Huang Xueren successfully conquered Fengjiazhuang many days ago, robbed all the grain in the granary in Fengjiazhuang, and robbed a lot of iron, silver and other property along the way.
Fengjiazhuang was captured by bandits, and the local government was greatly shocked when the news came out, especially when they learned that it was the Tang Heavenly Soldiers who attacked Fengjiazhuang.
As soon as he got the news, Su Jiakang, the county commander of Zhengtai County, hurriedly returned with hundreds of officers and soldiers who had entered the mountains to strengthen the defense of Longhua Town and even the county seat of Zhengtai County.
After seeing that the officers and soldiers no longer continued to chase him, Fang Dongquan also realized that the officers and soldiers might have discovered Huang Xueren's traces, and immediately Fang Dongquan didn't know whether Huang Xueren and they had successfully conquered Fengjiazhuang, but since the officers and soldiers had retreated, it meant that Huang Xueren and they were in danger.
Therefore, Fang Dongquan also took people and turned around to pick up Huang Xueren and them.
Two days later, they successfully met at the agreed place on the edge of the mountain, and when they asked, they learned that Huang Xueren and the others were not only sneaky when they went, but they were even more careful when they came back, and they made a big circle to avoid the search of the officers and soldiers.
After the two groups of people converged, they returned to Huangzhushan together.
It didn't take long for Li Xuan to see a large crowd in front of him, all of these people were carrying knives and guns, and the clothes on their bodies were also varied, most of them were still carrying a big burden, and there were even people in the back who directly carried a lot of heavy objects with a flat shoulder, and there was a small group of crying women in the back.
From a distance, this group of people looked like fleeing exiles and the Imperial Cooperative Army that had swept away the base area and returned full of debts.
In a short time, these people had already walked over, led by Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren and Butcher Chen, and behind the three of them was a small group of smiling bandits.
Before and after these three people arrived at Li Xuan, Huang Xueren was the first to kneel, and at the same time shouted: "The ministers have not disgraced their mission, and they have returned from Fengjiazhuang, this time ......"
Before he finished speaking, Fang Dongquan and Butcher Chen also stepped forward one after another, kneeling down and saying, "The minister does not disgrace his mission......
However, at this time, Li Xuan had already taken a step forward, and at the same time made a gesture of false support: "Three Aiqing, please get up quickly!" ”
Li Xuan helped them up and said, "It's a good thing to wait for this expedition!" ”
If they had seen the military parades of later generations, then they might have replied: "Serve the emperor!" ”
It's a pity that these bandits don't know what a military parade is, so naturally it is impossible to say so.
Fang Dongquan said: "This time the ministers are fortunate to return with meritorious service, thanks to Your Majesty's blessing!" ”
Huang Xueren also said: "Your Majesty's grace has spread far and wide, thanks to Your Majesty's grace, we can successfully conquer Fengjiazhuang!" ”
Although they are both illiterate in big characters, it is still relatively normal for Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren to speak, but Butcher Chen is simply more direct.
I only heard him say: "When those people in Fengjiazhuang heard about His Majesty's prestige, they were all scared into soft-footed shrimps, and they didn't need us to fight to take Fengjiazhuang!" ”
Although the words of these three people are different, they all express the same meaning, that is, they were able to successfully conquer Fengjiazhuang this time and return safely with food, all because of Li Xuan's awesomeness, they just did insignificant things and should have done.
Looking at the three generals who had stood up one after another, Li Xuan didn't feel anything, just thought that they were acting, and he was also acting, but Liu Bagou on the side saw this scene and nodded secretly.
Touching his goatee, he showed a satisfied expression, his satisfaction was not because they returned from victory, but because of their respectful attitude towards Li Xuan after returning from victory.
Although Liu Bagou and Fang Dongquan are the same, they both regard Li Xuan as a puppet emperor.
But Liu Bagou is different from others in that Liu Bagou really regards Li Xuan as the young master he wants to assist, and does his best to maintain the authority of Li Xuan, the puppet emperor.
In the huge Huangzhu Mountain, no one cares more about the word 'monarch and minister' than Liu Bagou, and no one cares more about whether the Tang Dynasty can grow stronger than Liu Bagou.
Even Li Xuan, who is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, actually doesn't care much about his title as emperor, let alone the etiquette of monarchs and ministers.
Therefore, it can also be said that in fact, Liu Bagou is the soul of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Xuan's father Lear must have been the one he bewitched and called the emperor to build the country, Li Xuan was the one he supported to ascend the throne as the emperor, and he worried about all the big and small things of the Tang Dynasty.
Now that Fang Dongquan has returned victoriously, they are not as arrogant as the arrogant generals in the novel, which makes Liu Bagou quite satisfied.
The Tang Dynasty, the most satisfying work of his life, has begun to slowly get on the right track.
