Chapter 117: Ordered by Heaven, Longevity and Eternal Prosperity (Subscription Requested)

In the huge Huangzhu Mountain, Li Xuan thought that no one knew better than him the great dangers facing the Tang Dynasty now and in the future.

No dynasty can tolerate a rebellion by someone with great fanfare, especially the rebellion of the emperor system, when Li Xuan's father Li Erbi was amused by Liu Bagou and called the emperor system, it was already destined that Li Xuan would go on the opposite side of the Ming Dynasty.

For the Tang Dynasty, the Ming army will never let it be appeased, and it will not let go of Li Xuan's Ming army, so they will gather troops again and again to attack and suppress.

The first few times, there were 300 counties bravely attacked, Li Xuan and they escaped smoothly, but after the autumn harvest, the Ming army organized a thousand households to enter the mountains to clear and suppress, and that time relied on an ambush to thwart the Ming army.

However, did the Ming army give up? No, on the contrary, they paid more attention.

So, this time they sent an army of two thousand people!

It is not difficult for Li Xuan to imagine that in the decisive battle with the Ming army, the hundreds of Huangzhushan bandits that he had managed to organize with great difficulty would completely collapse under the impact of the Ming army!

What will happen to him then?

Killed on the battlefield? Or was he caught and finally tortured?

Maybe when the time comes, his best choice is to kill himself like Xiang Yu!

At this moment, Li Xuan's first thought was to escape!

It's just that although the mountain is big, under the encirclement and suppression of the Ming army, there will be no hiding place for them after all, and there is a great possibility that he will die on the way to escape in the end!

In addition, although he still doesn't admit it in his heart, it is undeniable that he has gradually accepted the reality that he is the emperor of the Tang Mountain Valley, and he is working hard to change and strengthen it.

Giving up Huangzhushan is equivalent to giving up the foundation of the Tang Dynasty in Huangzhushan, and it is equivalent to giving up the only hope for the future rise of the Tang Dynasty!

So if you don't fight, you will run away, which is difficult for Li Xuan to accept!

However, if you don't escape, how should you face this crisis?

What to do?

This was the only thing Li Xuan was thinking about after learning that the Ming army was coming!

When Liu Bagou and Fang Dongquan learned the news, and when they rushed to the council hall, what they saw was Li Xuan sitting on the dragon chair, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he was contemplating.

Seeing that Li Xuan, who was sitting on it, didn't react for a long time, Liu Bagou and the others who were down looked at each other, and then Liu Bagou coughed lightly: "Your Majesty!" ”

Hearing Liu Bagou's words, Li Xuan turned his gaze over, swept over everyone one by one, and then saw him stand up: "I think you all know that the Ming army is coming, there is no need to discuss this matter, just face the battle." ”

As he spoke, he still stood and looked at everyone condescendingly: "I am ordered by the heavens, I have a long life and eternal prosperity, and I will fight with the Ming Dynasty, and the destiny of heaven will not be cowardly."

Since last winter, my Tang soldiers have been training and preparing for war, and what they do is to defeat the Ming army and tell the world that my Tang Dynasty is the lord of the world, and this day has finally arrived, and at that time, I will personally command the army to face the battle. ”

When he said this, he paused, looked around again and said slowly: "I hope all Aiqing will not let me down!" ”

Seeing Li Xuan standing up, he spoke in a deep voice, which made Liu Bagou and Fang Dongquan feel that this Li Xuan in front of them was completely different from the past.

At this moment, Li Xuan no longer looks like the panicked and even panicked young emperor in the past, but more like a mature monarch who is calm in the face of trouble.

The moment Li Xuan's voice fell, in this moment, Liu Bagou seemed to see that the young son of heaven he had been looking forward to for a long time had finally grown up, he was no longer a young son of heaven who needed his own protection, but a holy monarch who could hold up a piece of the sky for his subjects.

Isn't this what I've always hoped for?

Suddenly, Liu Bagou knelt down without warning, and said with trembling in his tone: "Minister, I am willing to die for the great cause of Your Majesty, and I am willing to die for my Datang Society, even if I am crushed and broken!" ”

Liu Bagou, a hundred officials, knelt down, and Qian Mengjiu, Wang Wenhua and other civil officials also knelt down one after another: "The minister is willing to die for His Majesty!" ”

"I am willing to go into battle with His Majesty to kill the enemy!"

Fang Dongquan and his generals, although they are not as exaggerated as Liu Bagou and these ministers, they can also see that today's Li Xuan is different from the past, and at this moment, Li Xuan has an aura that has never been seen before!

Immediately, Fang Dongquan and the others also knelt down, and shouted one after another: "The minister is willing to die for His Majesty!" ”

Li Xuan on the stage looked at the kneeling people below, and only after sitting down again did he wave his hand: "Let's all be flat!" ”

At this time, Liu Bagou and the others stood up for 6 years, and at this time they listened to Li Xuan again: "The Ming army is coming, how should our army meet the battle, what regulations do you have for Aiqing, you can speak freely!" ”

At this time, Liu Bagou and the others probably didn't feel anything, but Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren felt that today's court discussion was very different from the past.

Because of this court meeting, Li Xuan didn't just listen to it as before, and when he said it, he also played Tai Chi, and basically rarely made a decision directly beyond the ministers, but today, this beginning set the tone for this court meeting, that is, fighting, and it is to drive the conquest in person.

When he said this, he didn't even give Liu Bagou and Fang Dongquan time to think about it!

Li Xuan at this time made Fang Dongquan feel a little strange and even stressed.

With the beginning of the court discussion, whether it was Liu Bagou and Qian Mengjiu, who were civil officials, or Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren, who were military generals, they all discussed how to meet the Ming army.

Listening to their various arguments, Li Xuan did not speak easily, but listened to them arguing with a consistent expression.

At this time, I only listened to Huang Xueren said: "The number of the attacking Ming army reached 2,000, which is five times the number of our army, even if my Tang soldiers are brave, but two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, if our army and the Ming army face on the head-to-head, I am afraid that there will be more defeats and fewer victories!" ”

What he said about more defeats and fewer wins is at best, if the two sides really put on a posture for a decisive battle, unless there is a miracle, otherwise the Tang Dynasty will definitely lose!

Fang Dongquan also said: "Yes, a head-to-head duel is not feasible, if we want to defeat the Ming army, we still have to be the same as last time, it is best to choose a place for ambush, so that we have a chance to inflict heavy damage or even defeat the Ming army!" ”

But Wang Danxu said: "However, the Ming army was ambushed by us last time, and this time they will definitely send a large number of sentries to search, if we want to ambush, I am afraid it will not be easy!" ”

"Even if the chance is not big, it is better than a head-to-head showdown with the Ming army!" Fang Dongquan insisted on his opinion, choosing a suitable opportunity to ambush, trying to repeat the victory of the last Falling Tiger Valley.

However, Wang Danxu continued to frown, he didn't think that Ming Jun would be so stupid and would make the same mistake.

At this time, Cai Erhu, who had not spoken before, spoke: "Since we can't face each other head-on, and the success rate of the ambush is not high, it's better for us to choose a dangerous level and defend to the death, in this way, even if they have a lot of people, as long as we can't defend it, they can't do anything with us!" ”

But as soon as his words fell, Huang Xueren said: "No, our vicinity of Huangzhu Mountain is not suitable for defense at all, if you want to defend, you can only choose a dangerous checkpoint on the periphery, but in this way, it is possible for the Ming army to bypass our main force and directly attack Huangzhu Mountain, what should we do with more than 1,000 old and weak women and children under Huangzhu Mountain?" ”

As soon as Huang Xueren's words came out, everyone frowned!

At this time, Fang Dongquan also said: "Even if the Ming army does not detour and attack Huangzhu Mountain, as long as we are surrounded by them, we will die sooner or later, it is not a problem for us to defend for five days and ten days, but can we continue to defend it?" If the Ming army can't attack for a long time, won't it increase its troops? If we are surrounded, we will not even be able to break through by then! ”

Speaking of this, Fang Dongquan took a few steps, then glanced at everyone and said: "Everyone, you must know that the biggest advantage of our Tang Dynasty King Division is not that the soldiers are strong and strong, but that they are more familiar with the mountains and are more suitable for the mountains than those Ming troops. If we give up this advantage, we will definitely lose when the time comes, whether it is a dead defense or a head-to-head duel! ”

Fang Dongquan's words also attracted the nod of Liu Bagou and others, although they shouted that the Tang Dynasty was invincible in the world, but they all knew very well that the real advantage of their side was there, that is, they were familiar with the mountains and could shuttle through the mountains more flexibly than the Ming army.

At this time, Bai Yunqi spoke: "It's better for us not to go head-to-head with the Ming army and bypass the baggage logistics line to attack them!" ”

As he spoke, Bai Yunqi habitually glanced at Li Xuan, his words were naturally not his own opinions, but the plan that Li Xuan had already told him, and after seeing Li Xuan nodding slightly, he continued: "They have to eat when they enter the mountain, the food that the army carries with them is only a few days at most, and they must have to transport a steady stream of military food into the mountains later, otherwise they will starve to death without us fighting!"

If we can attack their logistical supply lines, those Ming troops will not be able to get enough food, and how will they fight us then? ”

After Bai Yunqi finished speaking, Li Xuan above pricked up his ears, ready to listen to Fang Dongquan's opinion, this plan was thought up by Li Xuan himself.

Because he felt that since he couldn't fight head-on, and it was not easy to defend, he would not fight head-on, but attack the logistics line of the Ming army.

And this point, Li Xuan felt that the feasibility was quite high, although the ability of the Tang Dynasty Wang Division on his side was not very good, but he was familiar with the mountains and could come and go freely, and it was quite certain to attack the logistics line of the Ming army.

And no matter what era the army is, once the logistics line is knocked out, the end will be quite tragic!

For Li Xuan, this is the only hope that the Tang Dynasty can win!

After Bai Yunqi finished speaking, Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren also fell into deep thought, they were born as bandits and lacked the necessary military knowledge, and they only thought about how to fight against the Ming army before, but they didn't expect that this battle could still be fought like this.

While they were pondering, Li Xuan spoke again: "What Bai Aiqing said, what do you Aiqing think?" ”
