Listening to Wang Wenhua's words, Li Xuan also showed a satisfied look, not because of Wang Wenhua's compliment, but because he himself was very happy.

When he first came to this era two years ago, how could he have imagined that he would be able to ride a tall horse into the gate of Xingquan Mansion today, and still as an occupier.

At that time, he was so down-and-out, he had the name of the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but there were only dozens of people around him, and later he completely became a bandit leader.

In the past two years, Li Xuan has been frightened for most of the time, for fear that he will be arrested by the government that day and suffer a lot.

But today, two years later, he led his army to defeat the tens of thousands of Ming troops and captured the city of Yifu.

As a ravine emperor, it is not easy to lead a dynasty like a family to this day.

Thinking of the hard life he had lived in the past two years, Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh!

Fortunately, now the situation has finally opened up, and after conquering Xingquanfu City, what you get is not just a city, but the entire Xingquanfu with a population of more than 300,000 and a land of 200 miles.

With this 300,000 population, he was able to pull out tens of thousands of troops, and then resist more Ming troops and occupy more territory.

Maybe in the future, he will really be able to occupy a province or even several provinces and become a famous thief in China, even if he can't beat the Ming Dynasty in the end, but if he can do this, it will not be in vain for him to cross a game.

Even among the countless traversers, he can be regarded as a powerful character, maybe he can even be among the best.

Compared with some historical celebrities who still knelt and licked after traveling to ancient times, and then forced to participate in the imperial examination as an official, and flattered the emperor every day, Li Xuan can proudly say that after coming to this era, his knees have not bent down, only others kowtow to him.

Those who traveled to ancient times and did not rebel, and one by one still held a perverted mentality to kneel and lick the ancients, Li Xuan despised them in his heart, and they all crossed over and mixed into this bird-like, it was better to kill with fast tofu.

Crossing does not rebel, chrysanthemum set electric drill, Li Xuan thinks deeply of this sentence!

Thinking of this, Li Xuan couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

At this time, Li Xuan consciously forgot that in the first year he first came to this era, he also thought about escaping for three days, and after escaping, he had to kneel and lick all kinds of reality.

Well, people are like this, and after a little achievement, they forget a lot of their previous unbearableness.

At this time, Wang Wenhua thought that his sycophant was right, but there would be an idea that Li Xuan's smile now was pure because he felt that he was very awesome, and as for Wang Wenhua's praise, it was just icing on the cake.

If anyone can know about Li Xuan's recent psychological changes, they have to say a few words to him: Young man, don't raise your tail to the sky with some achievements, be careful of being killed by thunder.

However, Li Xuan concealed his state of mind very well, at least the ministers of the Tang Dynasty did not notice it, and now Li Xuan was already deeply involved in self-boasting and couldn't extricate himself, he was inflated!

Well, but it can also be said to be confident.

Riding on a tall horse, Li Xuan, who was dressed in military uniform, always maintained a faint smile on his face, and then slowly entered the city accompanied by his guards and ministers.

And this is also the second time that Li Xuan has entered this ancient city two years after coming to this era!

And these two times, they all entered in the posture of conquerors, the first time was when they captured Zhengtai County, but that time the Tang New Army only stayed in Zhengtai County for less than one night, and because of the urgency of the war, Li Xuan didn't have time to look at Zhengtai County carefully, just took a look.

But now it's different, there are not tens of thousands of Ming troops waiting outside to attack Xingquan Mansion, and if there is no accident, his Tang Dynasty will also settle in Xingquan Mansion, you must know that Li Xuan has brought the entire cabinet over.

As soon as they entered the city, the cabinet was able to work on the spot and began to rule over the entire three counties of Xingquan Province.

This means that the Tang Dynasty will settle in Xingquanfu City for a long time, and he, Li Xuan, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, naturally needs to stay in Xingquanfu City for a long time, because the Tang Dynasty not only captured Xingquanfu this time, but also moved the capital.

This also made Li Xuan more interested and time to observe and look at this ancient city!

The layout of Xingquanfu Castle was the same as that of most ancient castles of this era, with a main road running through the castle, and the prefect's yamen was in the center of the castle.

There is also a school field in the city where the defenders of the city are stationed and trained on weekdays, and at the same time, there are government warehouses and county warehouses on the side.

There are also standard buildings in other cities, such as the City God Temple, the Academy, the Wenchang Pavilion and so on.

The circumference of the whole city is about eight miles, the place is not big, but it is okay in this remote place in the southwest, from the street that Li Xuan saw on both sides of the street, there are many shops, which shows that the business of this place is also considered to have a certain scale.

After all, it is also a prefecture with a population of 300,000, even if it is an inferior prefecture in a remote place in the southwest, there will still be some that should be.

Of course, Li Xuan is not very interested in Xingquan Mansion City itself, this place is just an administrative center for the Tang Dynasty, and the development of the Tang Dynasty naturally cannot rely on just one city, Li Xuan is more concerned about the vast countryside outside the city.

Only by controlling and relying on these regions could the Tang Dynasty be able to obtain sufficient soldiers, food, and even weapons.

When Li Xuan arrived at the prefect's yamen, the troops who had entered the city in the early stage had already cleaned up the entire prefect's yamen, but they could vaguely see the blood stains on the ground and the traces of the fight.

At the same time, Li Xuan also learned that the most senior official in Xingquan Mansion is now, and Xingquan Mansion knows that Chang Zhuo has committed suicide by taking poison, and it is a pity that this person is dead, if he can capture this person alive, he can use his identity to make a fuss.

However, there is nothing to capture Chang Zhuo alive, there are many officials at all levels in this Xingquan Mansion City, and not everyone has the courage or willingness to commit suicide like Chang Zhuo.

Most of them went into hiding, and some were captured.

Whether these people are willing or not, they will be used by the Tang Dynasty, it is best to be willing to surrender, and if they are not willing to surrender, even if they are stubborn, Li Xuan has a way to use them.

For example, write a confession in their name, touting the greatness of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xuan's wisdom, and when the time comes, the seals and handprints will be readily available, who dares to say that these are not written by themselves.

Of course, there is no hurry to use these official captives to do some touting and do righteous things.

Now the most important thing is to completely control the inside and outside of Xingquan Mansion, clear the Ming army in the city, suppress some stubborn local gentry and big families, and at the same time send troops to take down the third county company and county of Xingquan Mansion, and completely control the three counties of Xingquan Mansion.

The first infantry battalion and the second infantry battalion that entered the city have begun to gradually clear the remnants of the Ming army in the city, and it is expected that by tomorrow the city will be able to completely restore calm to the city of Xingquanfu.

As for attacking Lianhe County, Li Xuan also has a belly plan, and when it is initially stabilized tomorrow, he will send a partial division to attack Lianhe County.

Lianhe County is not a large place, and there are not many defenders in the county, and from a military point of view, it cannot resist the attack of the new army of the Tang Dynasty.

But who to send? Or let Hao Bonian or Li Chunjing go? No, they have too many opportunities recently, and their achievements are big enough, it's time to give up the opportunity to others, but besides them, who else can be the commander of any army?

Do you continue to promote young officers from the Guards, or do you want to make a balance and choose one of them from Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren, and Wang Danxu?

In this regard, Li Xuan was a little unable to pay attention to it for a while.

From the point of view of army building, it is best to continue to promote young officers who have come from the Guards and have entered the Imperial Academy, and they have gradually grown up, and many of them have become deputy battalion officers and team officers.

But he recently promoted Hao Bonian, Li Chunjing, Fang Xitong and others, and the last two major battles have reused these three people, Hao Bonian has served as the commander of the main force many times, Fang Xitong and Li Chunjing have also taken charge of themselves, leading not only their headquarters mixed battalion, but also commanding other troops.

To a certain extent, in these two battles, Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren, and Wang Danxu have already become their subordinates, and there is no need to guess that Li Xuan knows that this has already made Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren, and Wang Danxu complain.

Although in the long run, Li Xuan wants to slowly leave these bandit-born old-school generals from the high positions of the front-line troops, but this process cannot be too fast, and it cannot fall into the ground, now that the Tang Dynasty is on the rise, what is needed is to buy people's hearts, not to fall into the ground, and let the existing generals and generals who may join the new drama of the Tang Dynasty in the future know that the Tang Dynasty is kind to heroes, and will never learn what Zhu Chongba plays to slaughter birds and hide the bow, you can rest assured to come and take refuge with me, Glory and wealth are greatly dripped!

But to be honest, if Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren were allowed to lead thousands of people to attack Lianhe County, he would really not be at ease, these generals who were born as bandit leaders had limited ability to tell the truth.

Even Wang Danxu, who is in a slightly better situation, is still illiterate, and his understanding of military theory is close to zero.

After Li Xuan hesitated for a long time, he still didn't make up his mind, and finally decided to sleep first, and wait until tomorrow when the strategy meeting was held during the day, and it was best to ask about the strategy, which was a little better than deciding directly in private.
