In the past few days, when he went to court, he always looked like he was in a daze, but it was not because Liu Bagou and Wang Wenhua were as disheartened as they imagined, and they were afraid of offending God and doubting the way forward.

As an atheist with strong roots, God is used to stab, God is used to step on, and the next heavy rain wants him to think that God is angry, and then he is terrified of the next edict of himself?

Just kidding, even if God sends a flood and the whole world is flooded, he will at most scold God with his middle finger more than your mother!

On the contrary, the torrential rain has given him a clearer idea of what path to take in the future.

If before this rainstorm, Li Xuan still wanted not to stimulate the Ming army and wanted to hide in the ravine to entertain himself, then this rainstorm completely shattered Li Xuan's illusion and made him recognize the facts, that is, it is not safe on the side of peace, and it is not so easy to entertain himself as a soil emperor in the ravine.

The environment in the mountains is so bad, a casual rainstorm can destroy forty percent of the fields of the Tang Dynasty, and it is impossible to develop peacefully and steadily in such a place of poor mountains and bad waters.

If you want to survive and develop, you can only look at the vast mountains, even if the strength of the Tang Dynasty is weak now, in order to avoid the shaking of the Ming Court, you can't attack Zhengtai County or Longhua Town, but who stipulates that there are only Zhengtai County and Longhua Town outside the mountains?

In such a large area outside the mountain, how can there be only these two cities?

And the vast countryside!

As long as he doesn't stupidly attack cities like Longhua Town and Zhengtai County, is it possible that the eldest master of Su Jiakangzhang will still care about the life and death of those ordinary villagers in the countryside?

Just kidding, Li Xuan himself didn't care, and he didn't believe that those officials in the Ming Dynasty would care.

As long as Zhengtai County is not breached, Longhua Town is still in the hands of the Ming army, and there should be no major problem with their rural activities outside the mountains.

It's just that I want to send people out of the mountains for large-scale activities, how will these civil and military generals of my own feel about it, and I don't know if it will scare them.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were once again on him, Li Xuan slowly spoke: "The previous heavy rain washed away the farmland, which is a crime of unfavorable weather, and it is not a crime!" ”

Seeing that Liu Bagou and the others wanted to say something, Li Xuan immediately pressed his hand and motioned for them to speak first, and at the same time continued: "The destruction of farmland cannot be stopped by manpower, but the food shortage crisis in the second half of the year can be recovered by manpower!" ”

As soon as Li Xuan's words came out, several people immediately showed thoughtful expressions, and Butcher Chen even agreed, what if there was a food crisis in Huangzhushan? I'm sure I'm not going to starve to death.

The best, and at the same time, the only way to do it is to go straight out and grab a hand, just like last year.

Last year, they robbed Fengjiazhuang, and this year they can also find a second Fengjiazhuang to rob, as long as they can grab enough food, then even if the farmland is washed away, they still have food to support.

This is also the reason why in the past few days there has been a lot of discussion about when to go out of the mountain to grab a handful.

This is because these bandits in Huangzhu Mountain, when they encounter problems, the first way they think of is to take the old road out of the mountain to grab a handful.

And now when Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren looked at Li Xuan, they were all with joy, their emperor seemed to think the same as their own people, not the same as Liu Bagou and their people who were stupid in reading, they were afraid of this and that every day, they were afraid of the Ming army for a while, and they had to offend God for a while.

At this time, they listened to Li Xuan continue: "I intend to lead the army out of the mountain when the summer harvest comes!" ”

These words were expected by them, so neither Fang Dongquan nor Huang Xueren had much thought, but the next moment Li Xuan's words frightened them, because Li Xuan said:

"This grain collection operation is not only to collect grain, but also to find an opportunity to contain the Ming army in Longhua Town!" Speaking of this, Li Xuan stood up: "It can't always be that they come into the mountains to fight us, we have to fight back!" ”

Although Li Xuan still had no intention of taking Longhua Town and Zhengtai County, he had the idea of weakening part of the Ming army in Longhua Town and Zhengtai County.

The more than 1,000 guards of the Ming army and thousands of county warriors have always been a threat to the Tang Dynasty, and they are also a big threat.

Li Xuan can say with certainty that when the Ming army is ready, he will definitely enter the mountains again to encircle and suppress his own Tang Dynasty.

And the next time the Ming army will definitely be on strict defense against Liangdao and Longhua Town, and it is unknown whether they will have a chance to reverse the situation by attacking Liangdao and Longhua Town.

In order to avoid this, Li Xuan felt the need to take the initiative into his own hands!

Taking the initiative to go out of the mountains to attack the Ming army, and waiting for the Ming army to come in the mountains, those are two completely different concepts.

The former can control the initiative and play wherever and whenever he wants, while the latter can only defend passively.

In the past few days, Li Xuan's planned actions are not just as simple as going out of the mountains to grab grain, but to completely change the current situation of being passively beaten.

Of course, even if everything goes smoothly and he leads the army to beat the Ming army, he can't do too much, at least Longhua Town and Zhengtai County can't be conquered, and he can't do this kind of thing to completely kill the Ming army.

If the luck is bursting, the Tang Dynasty King Shi set up an ambush and wiped out the main force of the Ming army, that is, the two thousand households, no matter how bold the local Ming court government is, but the destruction of the two thousand households will not dare to hide it.

In this way, it will definitely alarm the upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty, and then there will be something that the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty have always tried to avoid: countless Ming troops have come from the surrounding prefectures and counties and even the provinces to encircle and suppress the Tang Dynasty!

What Li Xuan wanted was to contain the Ming army of these two thousand households and firmly confine them to the outside of the mountain, as long as they could not enter the mountain, this would be enough.

In this process, it would be better if you could win a small battle and annihilate dozens or hundreds of Ming troops.

When Li Xuan said this, the people below were stunned, and they wanted to contain the Ming army? That's more than 1,000 regular guards, and there are hundreds of county warriors in the Ming army, and even people who can be recruited at any time.

And the new army of the Tang Dynasty is only a few people, and the full establishment is only 341 people, not to mention that the establishment is not yet satisfied, and it is a big risk to rely on these more than 300 people to contain the total number of more than 2,000 Ming troops.
