After the autumn harvest, the calm of Huang Zhushan did not last long, because soon Huang Xueren and Fang Dongquan put forward plans to form a standing army one after another.

Although his intuition told Li Xuan that this plan was unusual, but that Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren were fighting for power and profit, and it would affect Li Xuan's arrangements for the guards in the future, he still approved it.

If the standing army is formed, it will definitely affect the future status of the guards, Li Xuan has always regarded the guards as the regular army of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also his private army to cultivate, but now that Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren are doing this, it will inevitably squeeze out the resources of the guards.

After all, the expenses required by the regular army are very large, even if it is a young militia like the Guards, which does not need to pay salaries and even brings their own rations, the cost is not small, at least a meal at noon, weapons and other things are uniformly equipped.

However, even though Li Xuan knew that the formation and training of the standing army would restrict the development of the Guards, he still did not object.

Because the combat effectiveness of the bandits in Huangzhushan has improved, it is also a good thing for Li Xuan, and when the officers and soldiers resist the attack in the future, the certainty of repelling the officers and soldiers will be greater.

Besides, even if Li Xuan wants to oppose it, he can't oppose it, although he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he is just a puppet emperor, the power of Huang Zhushan is in the hands of Huang Xueren and Fang Dongquan, even Liu Bagou can only manage civil affairs, and military things can't be interfered with.

When Li Xuan approved the plan to train the standing army, he issued a holy decree to prepare for the establishment of the left army of the standing army and the right army of the standing army, which were respectively in charge of Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren.

Anyway, Li Xuan knew that he couldn't intervene, so he simply didn't care about it completely.

Just when Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren were scrambling to train their respective standing armies, Li Xuan himself quietly increased the training of the Guards.

While intensifying the training of the Guards, it is also increasing the supply of resources to the Guards, especially in the area of food.

Anyway, whoever eats the food in the 'treasury' is the same, so it might as well be eaten by his guards.

As a result, a wave of army training was set off up and down Huangzhu Mountain, and a total of more than 100 young and strong bandits were training on the playground every day.

However, although Huang Xueren and Fang Dongquan organized their own standing armies, the training methods were no different from the spontaneous training of the bandits in the past, they were all dancing with knives and guns, and focusing on individual martial arts drills.

This made Li Xuan see that there were joys and sorrows, the joy was that Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren were still holding the old style of bandits, even if they were given a name for training a regular army, but it was just an extra name, in fact, there was no difference from the past, so that after his guards were formed, he would be able to rely on the guards to seize the real power of the Tang Dynasty.

What worries us is that they have not been able to improve the actual combat effectiveness of the bandits in Huangzhushan, and it is very likely that they will not be able to stop the attack of the officers and men when they are faced with the attack of the officers and men in the future.

Now it seems that if you want to survive, you still have to rely on your own guards.

No matter what Li Xuan himself looked at, Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren still happily trained their respective standing armies.

After more than 10 days of such chaotic training, Huang Xueren said in the court meeting that his standing army right army had been training for many days, and its morale was high, and it was already able to go out to encircle and suppress other bandit gangs around it.

"Our army has been training hard for half a month, and the combat power of the soldiers has been greatly improved, and now it is time to declare war on those stubborn anti-thieves!" Huang Xueren continued: "In the past few days, the prestige of our Tang Dynasty has spread all over a radius of 100 miles, and five villages have successively bowed down to their vassals, willing to naturalize my Tang Dynasty.

However, now there are still Jiguan Mountain, Huanggui Mountain, and Black Tiger Village that do not accept Wang Hua and refuse to submit to my Tang Dynasty to serve His Majesty. The immortality of such anti-thieves is not enough to show my great Tang Enwei! ”

When Huang Xueren spoke, his tone was extremely firm, as if he was going to swallow all three villages in one gulp.

At this time, Fang Dongquan stood up and said: "The three villages such as Jiguan Mountain do not accept the king, which is naturally unbearable, but now our Datang is facing a huge crisis of the Ming army, and it is the time when we need to prepare forces to fight to the death with the Ming army. ”

Fang Dongquan has always been a representative figure who supports the reorganization of the army and fights to the death with the officers and soldiers, so he is very opposed to Huang Xueren ignoring the threat of the officers and soldiers and bent on attacking other villages.

As soon as Fang Dongquan objected, he immediately divided the court into two distinct factions, and then quarreled with each other.

Listening to their argument, Li Xuan closed his eyes slightly.

He has no interest in interfering in the dispute between Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren, whenever this happens, all he needs to do is sit on it peacefully, wait for them to quarrel with a result, or simply talk about it, and then dismiss the meeting, what should everyone do.

However, although he did not intend to meddle in the dispute between Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren, this did not prevent him from carefully considering the possibility of attacking the three villages such as Jiguan Mountain.

After the autumn harvest, according to Liu Bagou's suggestion, the Tang Dynasty sent envoys to issue an edict of surrender to eight bandit gangs within a hundred miles around Huangzhu Mountain.

The edict was drafted by Liu Bagou himself, and Wang Wenhua was colored, and this style was naturally so good that those bandits couldn't understand it or even understand it.

But it doesn't matter, because the meaning of these edicts is very simple, and most of the space is talking about how the Tang Dynasty is awesome.

In the plain words relayed by those envoys: We have three major bull generals in Datang, and any one of them can blow your village into slag.

We also have three major bulls' prime ministers, one is more than one bull, and one of them is the prime minister of Liu Bagou is the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang.

As for our Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Xuan, that bull can't be described in words, because his bull has broken through the sky, and the entire universe can't accommodate it.

After boasting about how the Tang Dynasty was awesome, the rest of the space is to give grace and power, saying that our Tang Dynasty felt that you were not full of food and clothing, so we came to take you back to Huangzhu Mountain, so that you can enjoy the emperor's grace, eat and drink well, this is about grace.

And then there is the threat: if you are not willing to surrender, then you will also be allowed to enjoy the following imperial grace, but this imperial grace has become that the Tang Dynasty will send a large army to attack you,

In this way, the Tang Dynasty recruited five surrounding villages in one go, ranging in number from dozens to more than 100 people.

However, in the face of such a bullish Tang Dynasty, there were still three bandit villages that refused to surrender, and the messenger to Jiguan Mountain was even cut off by the bandits of Jiguan Mountain.

This made Liu Bagou and Huang Xueren angry, especially Huang Xueren, who has been clamoring to attack Jiguan Mountain for the past two days, so that the people of Jiguan Mountain can enjoy a thunder, rain and dew!
