Chapter 197: What a big black cauldron
There is no need to fight, no one is killed or injured, at most, he can set up a formation outside to scare and scare people, and he can get enough food, such a good thing Li Xuan did very happily.
Even he regretted it a little, why didn't he think of such a good way before: just scary people and not fight!
In this regard, he can only say: A wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and it is obvious that he, a wise man, has obviously undercalculated this point before.
But fortunately, he has now fixed this mistake, from a wise man's thousand worries must be wrong, to a wise man's thousand worries are foolproof.
Li Xuan himself was very satisfied with the current result, but Zeng Ziwen's face was a little abnormal.
"Your Majesty, if we really want to fight just now, it will not be a problem to fight down, and retreating without a fight like this will affect morale!" Zeng Ziwen said worriedly.
Li Xuan showed a disapproving look when he heard this, what kind of fight, when he encounters hard stubble, he will naturally turn around and leave, who would be stupid to fight hard.
As for affecting morale, there is no need to worry. These bandits are all greedy for life and afraid of death, you let them scare people, fight a dozen landlords who can't make a climate, they are very happy, but you let them fight hard There are hundreds of people guarding, and there are high walls, and even landlords who are guarded by artillery, that affects morale!
Not long ago, they once again had a closed door in front of a landlord's powerful manor, this family's manor was built like a castle, although the place is small, but the city wall is very high, and the defense is a lot of young and strong, these young people do not look like a weak man at a glance, but the kind of private arm, swords, bows and arrows and fire guns are not lacking, and more importantly, the family even put a big iron pimple on the wall.
Although that thing looked nondescript, Li Xuan could see it at a glance, that thing was artillery!
Nima, this family is much more awesome than the group of people in Fengjiazhuang, you don't have to guess to know that this family is definitely not a good stubble, it is very likely to be the kind of local strong who is a bandit when you go out, and a person who is a person when you enter.
Although it is possible to deal with such a person, it is impossible to avoid casualties, even if it is only two or three people who die, Li Xuan feels a loss.
Zhengtai County and the surrounding prefectures and counties are so big, who is robbing is not robbing, he is guilty of provoking these hard stubbles for a little food!
Li Xuan glanced at Zeng Ziwen, and then said, "Zeng Aiqing, don't worry about those people below, if you don't fight, they are happy!" ”
After hearing this, Zeng Ziwen looked back at Fang Dongquan and them, and saw that Fang Dongquan and the other soldiers were walking fast, and they didn't look demoralized at all, and immediately sighed.
Zeng Ziwen still doesn't know enough about this new army of the Tang Dynasty!
He used his usual thinking to look at the war of the Datang New Army, but it is obvious that the Datang New Army is different from the Ming Army.
How is it different?
The Datang New Army is not an army at all, but a group of bandits, even if Li Xuan uses more advanced methods to train them, even if Li Xuan equips them with muskets, standard swords, spears, armor and other weapons, it will not be able to change the banditry that is deeply rooted in their bones.
This banditry makes them become bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and when they encounter weak enemies, they are as brave as the peerless generals, and when they encounter powerful enemies, they immediately shrink, and they can't wait to run as far as they can.
Today's Zeng Ziwen doesn't understand much, but after a few days, he has figured out that these Tang New Army can't use common sense at all.
Therefore, Zeng Ziwen stopped persuading Li Xuan, anyway, it was useless to persuade him.
Li Xuan has some understanding of Zeng Ziwen's mentality, but he has no choice, the core structure of an army is not an ordinary soldier, but an officer class.
It's a pity that most of the officers in the Datang New Army are from bandit leaders, the upper beams are not right, the lower beams are crooked, and the upper-level officers are so timid and afraid of death, and ordinary soldiers are naturally not better there.
Now Li Xuan is hoping for more than a dozen officers from the Guards, but it is a pity that those Guards officers who have been trained by Li Xuan are still at the level of captains and deputy captains, and there is still a long way to go if they want them to take over the command positions of Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren and others.
When Li Xuan and the others rushed all the way in front, the main force of the Ming army behind did not follow in time, and dared to start two days, Diao Leixun of Longhua Town also brought people out, but they soon shrank back, and only sent a few small-scale troops to hang far away.
For a while, Li Xuan couldn't figure out what they were going to do, if they didn't chase after him, would they have to watch themselves abuse the countryside?
Su Jiakang is not afraid of being ruthlessly cared for, and then throw away the black yarn hat?
At the same time, in Zhengtai County, Su Jiakang was talking with a middle-aged man in a robe, this middle-aged man was none other than Wu Nuanzhi, the confidant of Song Zhiwen, the lord of Xingquan Mansion.
"Mr. Wu, if it goes on like this, it's not okay, now those pseudo-Tang thieves are looting everywhere in the countryside, so that fireworks are everywhere, although our official army firmly guards the county seat and Longhua Town, but the squire's opinions are quite big, the Chen family and the Song family have sent people over, saying that if I wait for the official army to take no action, they will write to the provincial capital!" When Su Jiakang said this, he had a hint of helplessness.
Wu Nuanzhi said after hearing this: "Master Su, rest assured, those pseudo-Tang thief armies won't be able to jump for long, as long as this arrangement can be successful, it will definitely be able to make those pseudo-Tang thief armies have no return!" ”
Su Jiakang still frowned: "If Mr. Wu's plan can succeed, it is good, but if something goes wrong, it will not end well!" ”
Su Jiakang's implication is that if you succeed, hello, hello, everyone, but if the plan fails, you Wu Nuanzhi will pat his ass and go back to Fucheng, but he Su Jiakang will have to be a backbiter.
It doesn't matter if he has a few small defeats in front of him, he can let Zeng Ziwen and Ying Tianhu carry the black cauldron, no matter how it is, it will not be tossed on him, but if he fails this time, even if he presses all the generals below, I am afraid he will not be able to carry the big black cauldron!
With such a big black pot, except for him Su Jiakang in the huge Zhengtai County, no one else can carry it!
At this time, Wu Nuanzhi glanced at Su Jiakang, and then said with deep meaning: "Master Su doesn't have to worry, this time, Lord Fuzun has already seen and praised the plan, and please give Master Su a certain amount of confidence, when the time comes, it is bound to let these pseudo-Tang thief armies come and go, and it is not a problem to capture the puppet emperor Li Xuan alive!" ”
As he spoke, he lowered his voice slightly and said, "And what Master Su has to do is very simple, as long as he ......"
