In this world, many things don't mean that you can do whatever you want, for example, Li Xuan wants to go to Zhengtai County to do a big job, even if he doesn't fight Zhengtai County, but he has to scare and scare the Ming Army.

But the sky is not as good as people want, he just took people out of the mountain for two days, and then the spies stationed in Longhua Town are in return, and the Ming army is dispatched.

The Ming army came out again? And it's coming in your own direction!

Hearing this news, Li Xuan secretly scolded in his heart that he was more than your mother, he was obviously so low-key, and he didn't rob his house along the way, and he specially picked a cheap route to the front line, how could the Ming army find out.

"Your Majesty, what shall we do now? Do you still go to Zhengtai County? Fang Dongquan came over and asked.

Li Xuan glanced up at him, although Fang Dongquan's face seemed to be calm, his eyes still revealed a strong sense of worry.

It may not be right to say that it is worried, but it should be said that it is afraid.

This bandit leader, he doesn't have any guts at all, this Ming army hasn't come over yet, he is already afraid of becoming like this, if he really faces the main force of the Ming army that day, wouldn't he have to turn around and run away on the spot.

Li Xuan felt that this possibility was really there, and it was very big, these bandit leaders were all so afraid of death, even if it was the extremely brave Chen butcher on weekdays, he would not be stupid to fight against the main force of the Ming army.

Not only Fang Dongquan, Li Xuan looked at Huang Xueren, Butcher Chen and Wang Danxu, all of them showed a look of fear, obviously although they hadn't spoken yet, they all wanted to turn around and run away.

A bunch of cowards!

The performance of these people today made Li Xuan despise them quite a lot, and he didn't have the courage at all!

So he kept a straight face, looked around, and said, "What are you waiting for, withdraw!"

He, Li Xuan, is not a stubborn person, since they are not willing to go, then he will not forcibly take them to Zhengtai County.

After all, no matter what, the main force of the Ming army found out that they were all coming, and if they continued to move forward at this time, it was very likely that they would run headlong into the main force of the Ming army, and it would be very bad at that time!

At this time, Butcher Chen said again: "Where do we retreat?" Back to the mountains? ”

Li Xuan shook his head: "What to do when you go back, this place outside the mountain is big, and there is not only one Zhengtai County!" ”

At this time, Zeng Ziwen, who was beside him, also spoke: "Now the food in the army is only enough for seven days to eat, and if you go back to the mountain, you have to transport food from Huangzhu Mountain, so it is better to wander outside the mountain and eat the enemy!" ”

Hearing Zeng Ziwen say this, several other people did not obviously refute this meaning, but nodded yes one by one and went down to make arrangements.

As the generals left, Li Xuan turned to Zeng Ziwen and said, "Mr. Zeng, I remember that your home is forty miles away, do you want to send someone back to report to them?" ”

When Zeng Ziwen heard this, he was slightly stunned, his face showed obvious emotion, but he quickly regained his composure, and then sighed: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, the minister is no longer the Zeng Ziwen of the past, and it has nothing to do with them, so why let them be frightened!" ”

When Zeng Ziwen was out of the mountain in the previous summer, he still stubbornly refused to hold any position in the Tang Dynasty, and even refused to call Li Xuan the title of emperor or majesty.

However, after half a month of running, especially let him see that the new army of the Tang Dynasty seems to be not bad, although the big battle has not been fought, but the two small battles are quite brilliant, especially the battle of Fengjiazhuang, which has increased his confidence in the musketeers to a higher level.

In addition, although Li Xuan is young, he is not chaotic when encountering problems, and he is quite familiar with military affairs, and he firmly grasps this new army of the Tang Dynasty, which is quite like a wise man.

In this way, it seems that the Tang Dynasty will not be finished for a while, and the most important point is that Li Xuan has always maintained the necessary respect and even reliance on him, and before going out to fight, whether it was attacking Fengjiazhuang or ambushing the Ming army, Li Xuan asked Zeng Ziwen's opinion many times, and listened to him a lot.

It can be said that Zeng Ziwen is regarded as a real military advisor.

This made Zeng Ziwen feel reused, anyway, he was already a person who died in battle in the eyes of outsiders, and it didn't seem to be a big deal to change his face and completely join the Tang Dynasty.

His mentality is actually a broken jar, anyway, there is nothing to lose, it is better to die than to live.

So a few days ago, he finally shouted the word "Your Majesty" to Li Xuan for the first time!

Smart people deal with each other, and they don't have to speak too directly, Zeng Ziwen's 'Your Majesty', Li Xuan just knew that this person had completely let go, so he was not hypocritical, and on the same day, he was appointed as the 'Privy Council Operations Division', and at the same time awarded him the title of General Zhendong.

The title of general given to Zeng Ziwen is nothing, in the Tang Dynasty, whether it is a general guerrilla or a general, it is a false title, the kind that is useless, that is, the title of general is better.

Li Xuan planned to establish a real military rank system in the future and remove these messy titles.

For Zeng Ziwen, the position of the combat division is the key, the Privy Council is personally in charge of Li Xuan, and there are no deputy positions, only three subordinate divisions, namely operations, ordnance, and logistics, and these three divisions were not set up before.

For example, the affairs of combat training are handled by everyone, and the ordnance is generally managed by the workshop of the Ministry of Industry, while the logistics are directly responsible for the baggage team.

In the past, it was not that Li Xuan didn't want to appoint the chief officer of the above three divisions, but he really couldn't find a qualified person to serve as the chief officer of the three divisions, and the chief officer of these three divisions was not something that any bandit leader could do, Fang Dongquan and Chen Butcher could barely lead people to fight directly, but let them be in charge of this kind of military-wide affairs, and the end would be very tragic.

They don't even know a word!

However, after Zeng Ziwen accepted the official position of the Tang Dynasty, he still seemed incompatible with Fang Dongquan and others, and the reason why he was obedient was mainly because of Li Xuan's attention, but Zeng Ziwen still looked down on Fang Dongquan and their bandit leaders.

And Fang Dongquan and the others originally didn't have any special opinions about Zeng Ziwen, but when they saw that Zeng Ziwen didn't bird himself, they naturally wouldn't come up and stick a hot face and a cold ass.

Speaking of which, this Zeng Ziwen is still their defeated general, and it is naturally not so cool to be looked down upon by his defeated generals.

However, they also knew the seriousness of the matter, and knew that this Zeng Ziwen was recruited by Emperor Li Xuan with great effort, although they did not admit it, but in fact, they also admired this Zeng Ziwen's theoretical attainments in military affairs, and some of the methods he showed when training soldiers.

After all, no matter what, this Zeng Ziwen is the only person in the Tang Dynasty who is familiar with military books and has received military education since childhood.

Therefore, although these bandit leaders are also a little unhappy with Zeng Ziwen, they will not deliberately fall out with Zeng Ziwen, at most they don't like each other.
