Chapter 19: The Enemy Strikes
Seeing Qian Mengjiu walking forward quickly with a panicked look, Li Xuan also stopped and looked at him: "What's the matter, Mr. Qian is in such a hurry?" ”
Soon, Qian Mengjiu came to Li Xuan and said, "Your Majesty, it's not good!" ”
"What's going on?" As soon as Li Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but get nervous in his heart, for fear that something dangerous would happen.
Seeing that Qian Mengjiu was a little panting, Li Xuan said again: "Mr. Qian said slowly!" ”
Qian Mengjiu said: "General Chen sent someone to say that there are a lot of horses outside!" ”
"Is it an officer or soldier?" Li Xuan's thick eyebrows furrowed when he heard this, could it be that Fang Dongquan and the others failed to hold back the officers and soldiers, or were they simply defeated by the officers and soldiers, and Fang Dongquan's troops were defeated and died, so those officers and soldiers would find Huangzhushan so quickly?
If a large number of officers and soldiers really arrived, then where should they and the hundreds of people in Huangzhu Mountain go and flee again?
Are you going to run away again?
But Qian Mengjiu shook his head: "General Chen sent someone to say that it is not an officer or soldier!" ”
Not officers and soldiers? Who is that?
But when I asked Qian Mengjiu again, I couldn't get the details of the matter from him, because Qian Mengjiu didn't know much about it, and as soon as he learned about it, he hurriedly ran over to find Li Xuan, Liu Bagou and others.
Li Xuan thought for a while and said, "Then you go to the prime minister and General Bai, and let the messenger come over!" ”
If a foreign enemy is coming, whether it is an officer or an officer or any other person, then it will be a danger to Li Xuan.
In the face of this threat, to be honest, Li Xuan himself was powerless, and the only people he could rely on were Liu Bagou and Chen Butcher.
Even if Li Xuan had a lot of complaints about Liu Bagou and Fang Dongquan and others in his heart, he also knew that they would not watch him fall into a crisis.
Because he is a living signboard, Liu Bagou has his own signboard in order to realize the fantasy of Zhuge Liang's reincarnation in his heart.
Fang Dongquan and Chen Butcher can realize their dream of emulating Zhang Fei, Zhao Zilong and other peerless generals and becoming the founding heroes.
This was known from the night attack of the officers and soldiers a few days ago, and they also let themselves go first, but Fang Dongquan took his men and horses to stay and deal with the officers and soldiers.
The current reality is just like what Madame Bai said, if they want to survive, they have to rely on Liu Bagou and them.
So after hearing this, Li Xuan did not hesitate to call Liu Bagou and them to discuss.
It didn't take long for Liu Bagou and Bai Yunqi and others to arrive in a hurry.
Seeing that they were about to bow down, Li Xuan immediately waved his hand: "The situation is urgent, so the Qing family doesn't need to be polite!" ”
They have been on the emperor's throne for so many days, and Liu Bagou has led by example every time to bow down, calling His Majesty the emperor or something, Li Xuan is also used to how to play the role of becoming an emperor, although the role is a little different, not even nondescript, but he can't pay too much attention to a ravine emperor.
At this time, the young bandit who was sent back by Butcher Chen to report the news was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, the sentinel we set up five miles away has found a large number of people coming from the north to the south, and now General Chen and his brothers have gone to check the details. ”
Li Xuan said: "How many people are there?" Who are they? Why come to Huangzhushan? ”
Li Xuan asked three questions in a row, and the young bandit did not panic, but calmly and quickly replied:
"I don't know who they are for the time being, but it is certain that they are definitely not officers and soldiers, the number is about sixty or seventy, as for the purpose, I don't know for the time being, maybe it's passing by, maybe they want to be unfavorable to us, but looking at their appearance, it should be that they are not good!"
After Li Xuan heard this, his heart quickly turned, it was not good for officers and soldiers, the people who came could be other bandits in the mountains, or they might be the private armed forces of the landlords, etc., and the number was not very large, only more than sixty people.
In this way, their people in Huangzhushan can barely cope with it.
Although there are not many young and strong bandits in Huangzhu Mountain today, there are more than 50 people, and if the old and young are mobilized again, there should be more people. When the time comes, when you face the enemy, at least you will not be inferior in numbers.
Liu Bagou said, "Your Majesty, we should gather all the people as soon as possible in case of contingency!" ”
Li Xuan said: "Well, this matter has to be fast"
Immediately afterwards, everyone discussed again, but Li Xuan didn't say much in this process, because to be honest, he couldn't intervene in these things, and the matter of organization and mobilization was done by Bai Yunqi and Liu Bagou together, so naturally there would be no mistakes.
And Li Xuan just said that he agreed when they put forward proposals one by one.
After a while, Liu Bagou and Bai Yunqi left in a hurry!
After a while, the foot of Huangzhu Mountain, which was originally quiet, was boiling, and these bandits still had a sense of crisis, and the mobilization speed was quite fast.
The people who had been working in the heavens and the earth, cutting down trees in the mountains, and building wooden houses all stopped their work, and it didn't take long to see some of the men starting to assemble with various weapons in their hands.
A quarter of an hour later, Li Xuan saw more than sixty men gathered in the open space in front of him, but among these people, only half were young and strong, and half were old people or obviously fifteen or sixteen years old.
Most of the young and strong bandits of this group of bandits were still being taken by Fang Dongquan and the officers and soldiers to go around in circles outside at this moment, there were only forty or fifty young bandits in Huangzhu Mountain, and before that, Butcher Chen had already taken more than ten people to check the situation first, and the rest were only about thirty people.
These thirty young bandits, together with almost the same number of young and old, made up more than sixty people.
Of the more than 60 people, only 20 were armed with formal weapons such as swords and iron guns, while the rest were armed with hoes, sickles, wooden sticks and other messy things.
Soon, Liu Bagou and Bai Yunqi took them and walked out in a hurry.
There was such a big turmoil in the small village, which naturally attracted the attention of Madame Bai, Dong Yunyun and others.
Dong Yunyun walked to Li Xuan's side with Zhu'er's support, but before she could ask anything, Mrs. Bai hurriedly came to Li Xuan's side: "Xuan'er, what's the matter, are the officers and soldiers here again?" ”
Li Xuan turned around and shook his head lightly: "It's not an officer or soldier, it should be someone like bandits from other cottages." ”
"It's good if it's not an officer or soldier!" Madame Bai obviously had a natural fear of officers and soldiers, and she was relieved when she heard that they were not officers and soldiers.
However, Dong Yunyun on the side was a little worried, if it was the officers and soldiers who came, it would be okay, maybe she would be able to take the opportunity to be rescued by the officers and soldiers.
But if it was other bandits who came, if Bai Yunqi couldn't stop them, wouldn't those bandits want to kill here, and then their masters and servants would either be robbed by the bandits again, or they would have to flee for their lives again.
Li Xuan, who was at this point, looked left and right at the three bandits who had been staying by his side, and then said to one of them: "Go, follow me to the front and have a look!" ”
Hearing Li Xuan's words, the bandit showed hesitation: "The Prime Minister and General Fang said that they should let the little ones protect His Majesty's safety!" ”
