Chapter Ninety-Eight: Where the Tang Dynasty Comes with Swords and Guns
After many days of anticipation, Fang Dongquan and the others finally returned to Huangzhu Mountain with a large army.
When Fang Dongquan and their team appeared outside the village, almost all of them ran out to greet them.
The wrinkled old mother stepped forward on crutches to hold the handsome son's hand, and asked with concern: "My son, have you come back and snatched back your daughter-in-law?" ”
The son threw down the knife and gun, knelt in front of the old woman and bowed: "The son didn't dare to forget his mother's entrustment, and after a hard fight, he finally snatched back a little lady, and I had already married her on the way!" ”
As he spoke, he got up and pulled out a crying woman from behind!
Only then did the old mother show a relieved expression and said, "Okay, that's good!" ”
The emaciated wife staggered to her husband with the child in tow and said, "How much food have you snatched back?" ”
The honest husband laughed, took out the burden on his shoulder, and directly opened it to reveal the white rice inside: "I have rushed to the forefront several times before, and I grabbed these things!" ”
The emaciated wife hurriedly took the burden and shed tears of joy as she looked at the rice inside.
When all the soldiers and their families were reunited and gathered together, the four main generals, Fang Dongquan, Qian Mengjiu, Chen Butcher, Huang Xueren, and Wang Danxu, also knelt down in front of Li Xuan, and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Li Xuan looked at them, looked at the team behind him with a scale of nearly seven hundred people, smiled and nodded: "All Aiqing have worked hard for the country, and this time I am very relieved to sweep all the thieves in a radius of 100 miles!" ”
At this time, Liu Bagou suddenly knelt down and bowed and said loudly: "The army can have such a great victory when it goes out, all because Your Majesty is a saint of the ages, and his grace is everywhere, and my Tang Dynasty is in line with the will of heaven and the people's will, so that my Tang Dynasty can fight and win, and the swords and guns will fall." ”
Liu Bagou opened his head to boast about Li Xuan, and many people below naturally followed in time.
Qian Mengjiu and Wang Wenhua, the two prime ministers who had read the book, followed Liu Bagou's words and bragged violently.
Fang Dongquan and these generals were no exception, and Fang Dongquan had obviously gone through a lot of hard training before, and at this time, he only listened to Fang Dongquan's slightly blunt half-written words: "The ministers can have this victory, thanks to Your Majesty's grace!" ”
Everyone else also said that it was all thanks to His Majesty's blessings and the like.
After this touting, Li Xuan, who listened to it, was full of smiles!
No one doesn't like to be touted, if there is, it must be because the people who are touting are not strong enough, and those who don't understand are better touted.
Now being touted by the dozen or so people in front of him, for a moment, Li Xuan had a delusion, feeling that he was really the Holy Monarch of the Ages.
Fortunately, this illusion only lasted for a moment, Li Xuan is a person with normal reason, and he will occasionally lose his mind, but he will not be completely blinded by their praise.
After the Tang Dynasty and the ministers praised each other for a while, the topic returned to business.
Qian Mengjiu said: "This time, my Tang Dynasty royal division went to Jiguan Mountain, Black Tiger Village, and Huanggui Mountain, and experienced dozens of large and small battles, including four major battles, and killed a total of 16 stubborn thieves, countless wounds, captured 200 young and strong, 700 old and weak women and children, and seized a batch of knives and guns, a number of grain, gold and silver!" ”
Although he had already known the detailed results for a long time, Li Xuan still smiled when he heard Qian Mengjiu talk about it again today.
It doesn't matter how many enemy troops the Tang Dynasty has killed, and even how much grain and gold and silver have been captured are not the most important.
The most important thing is that they captured a full nine hundred people this time, and the captives of these nine hundred people are no longer prisoners now, because since the day they were captured, they have actually become the people of the Tang Dynasty.
If the bandits in the mountains are defeated, there is rarely a situation where they refuse to submit, because for the bandits, there is no essential difference between joining the mountain as bandits, they are just bandits, so after the defeat, they return to the Tang Dynasty, and there is no psychological burden for the people of Jiguan Mountain, Black Tiger Village, and Huanggui Mountain.
Even many people will think that since Huangzhushan is so strong, after joining Huangzhushan, they will definitely be able to eat more and wear warmer.
As for saying that Huang Zhushan and they were playing rebellion and fighting with the Ming army, except for a very few knowledgeable people who might be worried, most of them didn't care.
Most of the bandits in the mountains have very limited knowledge, and many of them don't even know what the concept of rebellion is, let alone what the concept of fighting with the Ming army is.
In their opinion, it is the norm for those of them to be bandits, and it is the norm for them to be surrounded and suppressed by the government, and it is a big deal that they will run away when the government comes.
But they had no idea that the nature of the local government's gathering of hundreds of counties to suppress bandits was completely different from the gathering of thousands of regular troops to suppress the anti-thieves.
Usually, if you want to suppress bandits, local officials can do it, or you can not do it!
But suppressing the rebellion, this kind of thing will definitely be done, not only because after successfully suppressing the rebellion, you can make great contributions and be promoted, but also because if the suppression is not effective, this official hat will not be kept.
If the anti-thieves in the jurisdiction are allowed to become bigger, and finally lead to the bigger anti-thieves to conquer the local cities, then the imperial court will kill the local officials, and it will be ruthless and kill a large number of people.
Ignorant and ignorant, they didn't know that the seemingly powerful Huangzhu Mountain, the most powerful bandit gang within a radius of a hundred miles, had already been on the blacklist that the government must exterminate.
On the night of Fang Dongquan's return, Li Xuan held a state banquet according to the practice of the previous times, and when the ministers ate and drank, they laughed and laughed, as if everyone had forgotten for a while that the Ming army would come at any time.
Even Li Xuan let go of many worries in his heart for a while, and drank a lot accompanied by the ministers, so that when he returned to the backyard, he was full of alcohol.
Seeing Li Xuan come in, Dong Yunyun took two steps forward, and the first thing she saw was the strong smell of wine on Li Xuan's body: "Why did you drink so much again?" Dong Yunyun muttered while taking off Li Xuan's coat.
Li Xuan waved his hand: "It's okay, I didn't drink much!" ”
Dong Yunyun said: "If the amount of alcohol is not good, don't drink so much!" ”
When Li Xuan heard this, he was slightly stunned, this feeling of being cared for - very good!
With a slight force in his hand, he grabbed Dong Yunyun's hand!
Dong Yunyun, who was caught by the hand, did not struggle, after all, it was not the first time that this little hand was pulled by Li Xuan, from the panic at the beginning to the blushing, and then to the current calmness, it is enough to show that a woman's shyness has a bottom line, and once it is broken, there is no shyness at all.
So, comrades, do it and cherish it, when you just catch up with your little girlfriend, you have to cherish her who will blush when you hold hands at this time.
Because it won't take long to say that you will blush when you pull her hand, even if you strip off her clothes, she doesn't bother to cover the secret part with her hands, but will dangle in front of you as if there is no one else, that picture, don't be too scary!
