Chapter 741: Commanding the Capital
Emperor Yang of Sui was unable to sleep and eat.
The Li family's possession of 200,000 soldiers and horses already threatened his rule.
"Nameless, it's time for that Li Mi to be activated."
"Yes."
At this time, Li Mi didn't know that everything he did had already been known by Nameless, and not only that, but there were people behind his current achievements.
In winter, it is all in Maodong, and Wagangzhai has always been concerned about the development of various forces, and the sudden rise of the Li family has made them feel very stressed.
Xu Maogong suggested opening a position to envelop a large number of people, and the number of soldiers and horses was immediately expanded to 150,000.
Several forces are looking for craftsmen everywhere, and the purchase price of iron ore has been raised by 30%, and even then they have not received enough to build armor and weapons.
Youzhou's business is here again, the price of iron ore has been raised, but Youzhou has made money, and the sale of iron ore does not sell weapons, this is the current rule.
The forces all understand that this is to prevent them from using the weapons produced in Youzhou to deal with the Youzhou soldiers.
Actually, they think too much.
The reason why Li De sold the iron ore was that the vanguard was to prepare for the expansion of the army and horses.
Wagangzhai can pull up a team of 300,000 people at any time, but armor and weapons are what they need.
Xu Maogong has had some opinions on Li Mi since the last time he was in treasure, but Wagangzhai had to develop just for the sake of stability and didn't care about the treasure.
The brothers sent by Shan Xiongxin suffered a lot of losses, and Xu Maogong didn't mean to care, but he didn't have such a good temper.
Li Mi also thought that there was no treasure, and always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of the reason, and he was still very low-key about the face project of Shan Xiongxin and others who had no guilt, and pretended to be very guilty.
Then Wagang began to develop soldiers and horses, and there was no time for people to turn over the previous accounts.
Li Mi was playing the piano in the backyard of his residence, and there were snowflakes falling outside, and the charcoal fire in the house rattled and cracked.
Dressed in fur, plucking the strings, the quality of the playing is not appreciated by anyone except himself.
There are all rough people in Huanwa Gangzhai, and he usually doesn't have a real relationship with anyone.
Suddenly, an arrow ruined his grace, and then he was terrified.
There is a note on the arrow, open it and look at it.
Li Mi immediately came to the back mountain of Wagangzhai alone.
The trees were all dead branches, and soon he saw people waiting for him.
"Who are you?"
The letter Li Mi received said that they would meet in the back mountain, and the inscription was a symbol representing the royal secret agent.
He had been in contact with Nameless once before, but then he became the leader of the royal agents, and the person who appeared in front of him was dressed the same as Nameless at the time, and a long robe and cloak covered the whole person.
Wearing a hideous mask, you can't see each other's eyes.
The person who came first showed the sign of the royal secret agent, and the gold medal had a dragon-shaped carving on it, and Li Mi had seen it there in five places, and he could be sure that the person who came was more advanced than his authority.
"The royal agent is in charge."
Li Mi immediately leaned over and saluted, what he got in his hand was an iron card, which could mobilize five hundred secret agents, and the person in front of him should be of the level of nameless, and he knew that he couldn't afford to provoke him.
"The palm of the hand may have instructions, though they are commanded."
Li Mi was very respectful, he didn't tell anyone about his affairs in Wagang, since the royal agent could find it, it means that his affairs have been exposed, and there is no need to hide it.
"Li Mi, you are a very smart person, but you don't use it in the right place, do you think what you are doing can hide the past, you have the heart to dominate the world, you really don't have this ability, you want to use the power of the royal family, you are really a good idea."
Li Mi's legs were weak, he just thought so and did this, using the resources of the secret agent and the royal family to do a lot for himself.
"Zhangdu, I don't want to die, please give me a chance."
Li Mi, who knew that he was wrong, bent his knees, and had no choice but to bow his head.
He wasn't sure if he would be attacked and killed when he fled.
He wouldn't do something he wasn't sure about, the royal agent didn't look at the five hundred people under his command, you must know that the strength of these people is no worse than that of experienced warriors, not to mention that they all have all kinds of abilities.
Thinking of this, he didn't dare to hold it up, what if he didn't escape and would lead to death.
"Take the secret order, complete it, and you live."
In the blink of an eye, the person was gone.
Li Mi opened the secret decree and looked at it, and the sweat on his forehead came down.
His eyes widened for fear that he had seen it wrong, and he couldn't have imagined that his task was too amazing.
After putting away the secret decree and sorting it out, in a blink of an eye, there was no such thing as just now, and the soldiers who returned to the Wagang courtyard were practicing.
The neat voice made them very energetic, but unfortunately these people were all brought by Shan Xiongxin, and the people left behind by Zhai Rang were not so positive.
"Gather the team, let them all go out to train me, and if you don't train an elite division for two months, you will take the head of the main general to apologize."
Li Mi's mood changed suddenly, and the generals under him all had a cold neck, as if they had seen their results.
hurriedly ran out to train, for fear that Li Mi would make a decision in advance.
Li Mi took out the account book and counted it again, the cost of expanding the soldiers and horses would need hundreds of thousands, and he intended to expand the soldiers and horses by 150,000 again.
So he called Xu Maogong and others to discuss things together.
"Mao Gong, now there are more grain reserves, I heard that Li Shimin in Penglai City needs to buy food, I intend to cooperate with him, what do you think?"
The generals usually don't like to use their brains, and they are naturally happy to sell grain, and whoever lets them control too much grain is too much, and if they don't deal with it quickly, I'm afraid that they won't be able to eat all the food if they spoil, and it will be a big loss at that time.
"Owner of the village, I think it's feasible, I heard that the Li family has the support of some gate valves, and has a lot of savings in their hands, and we are responsible for escorting grain and grass, and we will be able to earn it without accidents."
Xu Maogong thought more, and the target this time was Li Shimin.
There is no way to stop the rise of the Li family, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's future achievements are limitless, and his support for Penglai City now is not equivalent to letting Zhang Zhai stand on Li Shimin's side.
In fact, he has already inquired about the Li family brothers, they are all both civil and military, and they can only be compared from the point of character.
Xu Maogong values Li Shimin very much, if he can get on the line with the Li family, the Wagang soldiers will have a backer in the future.
Don't think that now with 150,000 soldiers and horses is very powerful.
If their opponent is changed to Youzhou, it will be useless to give him 500,000 soldiers and horses.
Now it's time to send charcoal in the snow.
It is no secret that Penglai City wants to buy food, even if Li Shimin hides it well, it is useless.
The spies in Penglai City are also pervasive, and all parties have important news.
Li Shimin sent people to Youzhou to buy grain, but he had not yet been accurately recovered, and some people even inquired that there were 100,000 soldiers after Penglai City was recruited.
This information alone let Xu Maogong know that Penglai City was now extremely short of food, and he also knew that Youzhou did not respond immediately.
