Ever since he learned that the Ming army had entered the mountain, Li Xuan had been worried, afraid that the Ming army would hit Huangzhushan and then arrest him and send him to Beijing.

At that time, it is estimated that he will inevitably enjoy the treatment of being executed at a later time.

When Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren wanted to take the initiative to meet the Ming army, and even prepared to ambush the Ming army, he did not have the slightest hope of defeating the Ming army.

Because this time the Ming army entered the mountain was not a few, but as high as four or five hundred.

In the face of so many Ming troops, the more than 200 people they brought with Fang Dongquan were at a huge disadvantage in terms of numbers, not to mention that the Tang Standing Army that Fang Dongquan and they brought was still a group of bandits in essence, and its combat effectiveness was incomparable with that of the regular army.

Both quality and quantity were at a great disadvantage, so Li Xuan believed that unless Fang Dongquan and them took shit luck, it would be impossible to defeat the Ming army.

The best result was that they attracted the attention of the Ming army, and then, like the previous two times, took the Ming army around the mountains in a circle, so as to ensure the safety of Huangzhu Mountain.

That's right, from beginning to end, Li Xuan didn't think that Fang Dongquan and them would be able to defeat the Ming army, even if it was an ambush.

But when Fang Dongquan and the others returned to Huangzhushan with dozens of Ming prisoners, he was completely stunned.

Especially when there was a thousand households of the Ming army in this group of captives, a senior official of the fifth grade, Li Xuan felt that the changes in things were beyond the scope of his cognition.

Fang Dongquan and they actually won?

Not only won, but also captured dozens of prisoners?

How is this possible?

It's absolutely impossible!

For a moment, Li Xuan thought he was dreaming, and it was a ridiculous daydream.

He can accept this, and he can accept being forced to be the emperor, but only the scene in front of him makes him unacceptable.

That's a regular army of four or five hundred people, Fang Dongquan and they can not only win? And also took so many prisoners?

However, all this impossibility appeared in front of his eyes!

Especially the dejected young military general in front of him is so real, it doesn't look like a dream.

At this moment, Li Xuan had the urge to pinch himself to see if it would hurt to confirm whether he was dreaming.

But fortunately, he is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, this emperor has been the emperor, and now when he encounters some seemingly impossible things, he can also hold back his gaffe, but two words that others can't hear lightly pop out of his mouth: 'I rely on'.

At this time, Fang Dongquan and the others were already happily reporting in front of Li Xuan, blowing the battle half a day ago into full swing.

Although their words were full of boasting, it did not prevent Li Xuan from learning the truth of the matter from their words.

After listening to Fang Dongquan's account of the 'Battle of the Falling Tiger Valley', Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh that those Ming troops were really unlucky.

At the critical moment, he met those people in Jiguan Mountain, and when his attention was attracted by the bandits in Jiguan Mountain, he was ambushed by the bandits of Huangzhu Mountain, which led to chaos, and he fled without a fight in a hurry.

However, Li Xuan doesn't sympathize with those Ming troops who have been defeated miserably!

The current Li Xuan is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is a hostile relationship, and now he has defeated the Ming army that invaded this time, which means that Huangzhushan can obtain a short period of peace, and his own life can be regarded as saved.

That's a good thing!

Although at this time, Li Xuan also thought that this time the Ming army suffered a big defeat, next time he would definitely send more troops into the mountains to encircle and suppress, and the crisis faced by Huangzhushan would be even more serious.

But life is already so bleak, this day has passed without a day, how can Li Xuan have the heart to worry about the future.

Anyway, he's still alive and well, and that's enough.

As for the danger later, I'll talk about it later.

The Tang Dynasty returned victoriously, naturally it was inevitable to celebrate, and that night, Li Xuan, the son of heaven, held a state banquet to wash the dust for Fang Dongquan, who returned from the victory.

After a full meal, Butcher Chen talked about Jiguan Mountain!

"This time, the people from Jiguan Mountain suddenly ran out, and it was clear that they came with us, according to my old Chen, these people are thieves who are not dead, and they must be destroyed as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be a scourge sooner or later!"

Huang Xueren also nodded at this time and said: "Now that the Ming army has been defeated and retreated, it is expected that they will not enter the mountain again in a month or two, and we can take advantage of this time to clean up the Cockscomb Mountain!" ”

"If we can recover Jiguan Mountain, Huanggui Mountain, and Black Tiger Village, then we will resist the invasion of the Ming army, and our strength will be more sufficient!" At this time, Wang Danxu also spoke: "It's just that these three families add up to eight or nine hundred people, and most of them are young and strong, I'm afraid it's not easy to fight!" ”

At this time, Butcher Chen said: "What are you afraid of, we can win the battle with more than 500 Ming troops, and can we still turn the sky over the crooked melons and cracked dates of those families in Jiguan Mountain?" ”

Speaking of this, he looked up at Li Xuan and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, please lead the troops to attack Jiguan Mountain, and guarantee that it will be taken in three or five days!" ”

In the face of Butcher Chen's invitation and promise, Li Xuan smiled and didn't take it seriously.

It's not that this Cockscomb Mountain hasn't been fought before, I just fought it once a few days ago, and I didn't see Fang Dongquan and them easily take down Cockscomb Mountain.

Although they defeated the Ming army in front of them and captured so many prisoners, the battle record in the Battle of Luohu Valley did not represent the true strength of the bandits in Huangzhushan, and that victory was completely due to chance.

The Ming army scared himself, and he was stunned to collapse by scaring himself, Fang Dongquan and they just picked up a bargain.

However, at this time, Fang Dongquan also spoke: "Now that our Datang is in crisis, although the Ming army has retreated, they will definitely make a comeback in a few months, and before that, we must increase our strength and recover Jiguan Mountain, Huanggui Mountain, and Black Tiger Village!" ”

Even Fang Dong said so, it seems that these military generals, Li Xuan knew that the bandit leaders must have reached a consensus in private before!

If you, the emperor, want to control the real power, and not be led by Fang Dongquan and them, there is still a long way to go!

However, their proposal was also very appealing to Li Xuan.

The weak Tang Dynasty must not be able to enjoy itself in peace after defeating the Ming army once, because this is not pleasure, but sitting and waiting to die.

They must seize the time and use every opportunity to expand their strength in order to survive!

Seeing that everyone proposed to attack Jiguan Mountain, Li Xuan immediately nodded: "What everyone Aiqing said is very true, prepare for it in the past two days, and then send troops to Jiguan Mountain, I hope that all Aiqing can return with a big victory and raise the prestige of my Tang Dynasty!" ”

After Li Xuan's decision, it represented that the interrupted attack on Jiguan Mountain was started again, and this time, there was no Ming army entering the mountain to hinder the actions of the Tang Dynasty.

Two days later, the first three armies of the Tang Dynasty left and right set out again!

On this expedition, Li Xuan also asked Wang Danxu to go with more than 20 guards, because he felt that the guards had been training for half a year, but they had never officially fought.

The army will not be tempered if it does not experience war, and now the attack on Jiguan Mountain is just the right time for them to see blood and increase their experience.

In this way, the regular army of the Ming Dynasty can better deal with the guards in the future!

When Fang Dongquan and the others set out on another expedition, Li Xuan, Liu Bagou and the others stayed in the rear, and there were still a large group of prisoners waiting for them to deal with.

Among them, there are pseudo-Ming five products and thousands of households Zeng Ziyun!
