When Liu Bagou spoke, his expression was serious, but there was still a trace of temptation in his serious expression, as if Zeng Ziyun only agreed, then he would be able to immediately get glory and wealth, become a prince of a master, and live a luxurious life surrounded by delicacies and beauties every day.

Li Xuan, who was above, saw Liu Bagou's expression when he spoke, and he was very suspicious that his dead ghost father was bewitched by Lear Bi with this demeanor, otherwise, how could a landlord Lao Cai, who had no knowledge and had never even been to the county seat, play the matter of ascending the throne and becoming the emperor.

But Zeng Ziyun is obviously not as short-sighted as Lear at the beginning, although he is a prisoner, but he is from a general's background, and this insight is much stronger than these rural fools.

The so-called prince and prince in Liu Bagou's mouth are not even interested in listening to it more.

Even if you let him be the pseudo-Tang emperor, Zeng Ziyun would not be able to do it, and what kind of prince and prince would he lie to the child.

In the Tang Dynasty in the ravines and ravines of yours, even the so-called 'imperial palace' where the emperor lives is just a slightly larger wooden house, and even my family's servants live better than this.

Not to mention that he is a five-grade and thousands of households, living in a large mansion with carved beams and paintings, dozens of servants and maids in the house, and his wife and concubines are as beautiful as flowers.

Even if he took the throne of the Tang Emperor that day, he wouldn't change it!

However, although his heart was full of disdain, Zeng Ziyun was also smart now, and knew that if he openly rejected the gang of bandits in front of him at this time, it was estimated that they would put a knife on his neck in the next moment, and then cut it down fiercely.

He is still young, and he has beautiful wives and concubines waiting for him to love, but he can't just die in the ravine.

Well, even if Zeng Ziyun is defeated, even if he is captured, he has to flee back, there are still good days waiting for him outside, how can he stay in this ravine and play the game of emperor and founding the country with these ignorant bandits.

If the Tang Dynasty is a real political power, it doesn't need to be too large, even if it only has a few prefectures and counties, and can pull out an army of thousands of people, then Zeng Ziyun will seriously consider whether to surrender to the city in this dangerous situation.

But what about the Tang Dynasty in front of him, there are only more than a thousand bandits under his rule, and the land is only a few miles away, can such a dynasty have a future?

I don't believe it when I killed Zeng Ziyun.

Zeng Ziyun knew very well that even if he failed to attack Huangzhushan this time, it would not be long before the imperial court would send more troops to encircle and suppress it, and even because of this failure, the officers and soldiers who came next time might not be hundreds, but thousands or even more.

In this case, if this Tang Dynasty is not finished, Zeng Ziyun dares to kill himself again!

So if you want him to surrender and be a prisoner, it's okay, but if you want him to surrender to the pseudo-Tang and become a thief, he will never do this kind of self-defeating thing.

Well, but he couldn't refuse directly, which would anger the bandits in front of him, so he made a compromise choice.

He was silent!

Zeng Ziyun didn't speak after hearing this, and was silent like a log.

Looking at him, Li Xuan frowned slightly, although he didn't expect Zeng Ziyun to agree from the beginning, but he didn't expect this person to refuse so simply, without even the slightest hesitation or consideration.

Yes, Zeng Ziyun's silent attitude has already shown his attitude very obviously: he is unwilling!

did not refuse directly but remained silent, just because he was afraid of annoying the people of Huangzhushan.

It seems that it is not easy to recruit generals!

After Li Xuan frowned slightly, he was not interested in continuing to talk to this Zeng Ziyun, this person's attitude was already very clear, and it was useless to say more at this time.

Immediately, he waved his hand and asked his subordinates to escort Zeng Ziyun out.

Li Xuan plans to lock Zeng Ziyun up first, maybe as time passes, this person will slowly recognize the reality, so that he will suddenly wake up and join the founding cause of the Tang Dynasty, as for now, lock it up first.

After sending Zeng Ziyun away, Li Xuan instructed Liu Bagou again: "Although this person refuses to submit, but this person is a general of the Ming army, and he must know a lot of information about the Ming army. ”

The difficulty of this matter is much less than persuading Zeng Ziyun to return to obedience.

It was too difficult to persuade Zeng Ziyun to return to the Tang Dynasty and be loyal to Li Xuan. But if he threatened and only got some information from his mouth, the possibility was still very high, and Liu Bagou immediately said: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

After saying Zeng Ziyun, everyone turned their attention to the other ordinary captives.

"All Aiqing said how to deal with these more than sixty captives, they can't be kept locked up and wasted food!" When Li Xuan spoke, he first set the tone, that is, they can't be raised in vain, otherwise they won't have to die, fight a battle and capture more than 60 mouths for nothing, and catch dozens or hundreds of more prisoners in the future, and they must not eat up all their food, how can there be such a way to play in rebellion.

Bai Yunqi stepped forward at this time and said: "The minister thinks that he can persuade some of them to surrender, as long as they are willing to submit to our Tang Dynasty, then they can be incorporated into the standing army to serve my Tang Dynasty." ”

"And what about those who are left unwilling to submit?" At this time, Wang Wenhua said: "Although these Ming troops are ordinary soldiers, they may not all obey us!" ”

At this time, Bai Yunqi said: "This is simple, if you don't want to join us, let them open up the wasteland, anyway, we have a lot of fields in Huangzhu Mountain that have not been cultivated, so it is just right for them to open up the wasteland and farm!" ”

Liu Bagou nodded and said: "It's a way to let them open up the wasteland, these Ming troops are all military households, and they are all farming on weekdays, so it's convenient for them to open up the wasteland, but they still have to be controlled, lest they rebel!" ”

Bai Yunqi said: "The minister is brave and willing to be responsible for recruiting and guarding these Ming prisoners, and will never let them waste a grain of grain in our Tang Dynasty!" ”

Hearing Bai Yunqi's words, Li Xuan nodded, and immediately said, "Since General Bai is willing to take on the heavy responsibility, then I am ready!" ”

The others nodded and did not speak again.

Only Li Xuan and Bai Yunqi glanced at each other at this time, and then saw the smile on each other's faces that the conspiracy had succeeded.

The others didn't know that in fact, Bai Yunqi and Li Xuan's words had already been discussed, in order to completely control the more than sixty Ming army prisoners.

For this reason, they even delayed the handling of the captives until Fang Dongquan and they led people to Jiguan Mountain, in order to avoid Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren from interfering.

As long as there is no intervention of Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren, the two powerful factions, then Li Xuan and Bai Yunqi will be able to cooperate inside and outside, and directly swallow these more than 60 Ming army prisoners in one bite, and not even leave a bit of scum for Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren!

The reason why Li Xuan and the others wanted to control these captives and turn them into their own use was naturally to get rid of the fate of the puppets!

The puppet emperor in this ravine, Li Xuan is already enough, he desperately wants to grasp the real power, and if he wants to hold the real power in the bandit den of Huangzhu Mountain, there must be an army loyal to him under his hands!

These captives have become the most suitable opportunity!
