Xiacai County, Ruyin County, on the north bank of Huaishui, a huge military camp is stationed here. At this time, in the big tent of the Chinese army, the majestic and mighty Shan Xiongxin looked at a group of generals in front of him, and roared angrily: "It's been a whole month, and you can't pass a small piece of Huaishui, what are you doing to eat?" ”

Shan Xiongxin was originally Zhai Rang's general, in history, after Zhai Rang was killed by Li Mi, the Wagang army was detached from morality and seemed to be strong, but there were many contradictions inside, Shan Xiongxin Zhai Rang's brother, has always held a grudge against Li Mi, in the battle of Bishan, Shan Xiongxin ruthlessly pit Li Mi, he first stood still in the fierce battle, and then reined in his own troops, so that Li Mi could not enter Luokou City. Therefore, it can be said that Li Mi's fiasco in the Battle of Bishan is directly related to Shan Xiongxin!

But now the world has changed greatly, Zhai Rang died in the hands of Yu Wenhua and led to Li Mi directly ascending to the throne, Li Mi is fair and just, impartial, and has prestige in Wagang, and more importantly, Li Mi has made a qualitative change in Wagangzhai, no longer robbing the countryside and robbing businessmen, but a political force competing for the world. Therefore, Li Mi was soon imprisoned as the chief, and with the support of Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji and other Wagang fathers, Li Mi was able to successfully remove Wagang and establish the Great Wei Dynasty. This change of identity also made them from a savage to a neatly dressed and polite nobleman. The Wei State, which is no longer a bandit, has also gained the investment of many talents.

And Shan Xiongxin also changed from an opponent in history to a hardcore supporter of Li Mi, and was deeply used by Li Mi, canonizing him as a general, and his status in the army was only below Li Mi.

He was the chief general of Du Fuwei's army in the south, but between the two, there was a natural strategic barrier, that is, Huaishui.

Huaishui originates from the old crow fork of Tongbai Mountain in Nanyang, and goes straight into the sea, Du Fuwei immediately ordered to burn the bridge after Li Mi came to attack, and controlled all the civilian ships in his hands, so that the simple navy blocked Li Mi's army from going south, the Huaishui was turbulent, wide and deep, and Li Mi's army could not cross it at all without ships and bridges. And the town guard opposite Du Junshou will be Wang Xiongdan and Kan Liang, these two brave generals are Du Fuwei's righteous sons, the character is very tenacious, courage and loyalty are enough, and the two of them are very smart, one of them two brothers to guard the ferry, one led the sailor to parade up and down the Huaishui, and the plan of Shan Xiongxin to build a pontoon bridge to cross the river was completely shattered.

Shan Xiongxin knew that Li Mi's southward strategy was to quickly extinguish the large and small forces in the south, and then use the power of the south to fight with Li Yuan and Yang Tong. Especially now, Li Yuan has launched a strong offensive against Xiao Miao, if Li Yuan takes Jingzhou as he wishes, then Li Mi's plan to go south to Jingyang is not to say that he is stillborn, but it is also subject to heavy constraints, which will then affect the great cause of dominating the world.

"General, the boats around here have been robbed by Wang Xiongdan and Kan Liang, and now there are more than 20 fishing boats, some of which are even leaking, and even if there are, they are not the opponents of Du Fuwei's regular warships, it is said that their warships were built in the Yang Guang period, not to mention Huaishui, even if they reach the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, they can be unimpeded." One of the generals said stiffly.

"And even if we have a warship, we must have a strong sailor, but none of us will fight in the water, and we will be a live target when we get on the ship." The other said weakly.

"Yes! If you don't talk to the king, first find some soldiers who can train for a few months. While finding craftsmen to build ships urgently. ”

"This ......" Shan Xiongxin was speechless for a moment, and then sighed, although these soldiers of his are not exactly landlubbers, if they really get on the boat, their biggest advantage is equivalent to being completely abolished, but although they understand this truth, the time given to Wei is too little, and even half a day cannot be wasted.

"You and others know that the southward strategy of our Great Wei is to seize Jingyang to support the people, and you also know that Li Xiaogong first pacified Zhu Cang in Xiyang and Nanyang, and then fought in Jingzhou, while I was all trapped on the north bank of Huaishui and did not advance a single step. If Xiao Mo is annihilated by Li Tang, not only will we lose the opportunity to seize Jingzhou, but even Yangzhou will be difficult to fight openly. When the time comes, what qualifications will my Great Wei have to compete for domination in the world. Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, we must attack the other side, and no matter how difficult it is, we must take Yangzhou before Li Yuan captures the entire territory of Jingzhou. Otherwise, what face do we have to face the king? Shan Xiongxin said sharply.

The generals lowered their heads one by one with ugly faces, hating the Huaishui River and the Du army that was rampant in the south of the Yangtze River.

"The general doesn't have to worry." At this moment, I saw that the tent was suddenly opened, and Li Mi, who was dressed in armor, walked in with several personal guards, he had just arrived.

"See the King!" And all the people in the Great Tent will salut.

"Haha, you don't have to be polite!" After Li Mi entered the tent, he instructed Fang Xuanzao, who was following him, with a smile on his face: "Sir, the soldiers have worked hard these days, and I ordered you to add a meal of meat today." ”

The Huaishui in front of him not only made the Wei army insurmountable, but also severely damaged their morale, and he had to reassure them and regain their courage. The soldiers worked the battlefield for nothing more than four things, one for power, two for fame, three for profit, and four for food and clothing.

"Whoa!" Fang Xuanzao immediately responded.

After Li Mi sat down, he looked at the generals with ugly and ashamed faces, and said with a smile: "The generals don't have to be like this, the defeat in this battle is not waiting, they all underestimate Du Fuwei and the benefits of the navy army in this king, it is the king's lack of preparation, if you want to talk about the crime, the culprit is also the king." ”

Hearing this, the faces of all the generals eased, and their mood calmed down, Fang Xuanzao glanced at Li Mi with admiration, as a minister, he first blamed the people, so that everyone could be united.

"King!" Shan Xiongxin was a little worried: "Huaishui is all under the control of Du Fuwei's navy, and my Great Wei has no navy, and I am not familiar with water, the last general is worried that if it drags on like this, Li Yuan will seize the entire Jingzhou, and after that, he will seize Yangzhou with my Great Wei." When the time comes, it will be 100 times more complicated and more difficult to fight Yangzhou. Therefore, our army must fight quickly, after all, time is not waiting for me. ”

"Haha, what the general said is very true, it seems that it is not possible to force the Huaishui now, and Lu Mingyue did not attack it back then, firstly, because there is still Yang Guang in Jiangdu, and secondly, I am afraid that such a thing will happen, so our army will also change its tactics." Li Mi said with a smile.

"I wonder what the king has planned? Please also be explicit. Shan Xiongxin immediately asked.

"With the arrival of Li Yuan, the delicate balance in the south has been torn apart, and now Li Yuan is attacking the city and plundering the land, which has caused Wang Shichong's worries, he is willing to completely cease war with us, and after joining forces to deal with Li Yuan, he will fight again. This king felt that Wang Shichong's opinion was very necessary. ”

"The words are so, but Wang Shichong is cunning, how can he believe his words?"

"Of course we can't believe it, we still need martial law at the border." Li Mi analyzed very confidently: "Zhuyangguan is now in the hands of Li Yuan, his Hongnong County is under Li Yuan's troops, in just one day, Li Yuan's army can reach Luoyang City, Li Yuan is his first enemy." Until he repells Li Yuan, he will not attack us. ”

Fang Xuanzao continued: "Wang Shichong's rule is only Henan, Hongnong, Xingyang, Xiangcheng, Shuyang five counties, these five counties from the beginning of the troubled times, the military disaster has continued to this day, although after Wang Shichong's hard work for a year, it is much more prosperous than before, but it is barely enough to support 100,000 troops. With little soldiers and little food, he didn't dare to take the initiative to open up two routes. Therefore, Wang Shichong can be put aside for the time being. ”

Shan Xiongxin nodded, no longer asking Wang Shichong's question, but returned to the most urgent Du Fuwei army at the moment: "What about Du Fuwei?" Do you want to beat him or let him go? ”

"We don't have a water army, so naturally we can only let him go." Li Mi said helplessly.

"The last general is willing to form a naval army in Xia Cai to prepare for the attack on Du Fuwei and the large and small forces south of the Yangtze River." Shan Xiongxin asked for his life with an unwilling face.

Li Mi laughed and said: "The general is the first general of my Great Wei, and the general is by his side in the next battle, so this king can rest assured." Someone else is responsible for such a small matter as training a water army. ”

"Thank you for the king's attention, and you will never die." Shan Xiongxin said gratefully.

Li Mi is very good at winning people's hearts, he knows that different people should be treated in different ways, for Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji, Wang Bodang, as long as they are sincere, as long as they feel your feelings, they are sincere to serve, never give up, if they do profit, do tricks, but fall inferior; For Meng Rang, Zuo Xiaoyou, and He Xiaode, the former owners of small villages, they need to follow their ways.

He looked at Shan Xiongxin with satisfaction, and said with great appreciation: "The general is right to worry, water warfare is not the strength of our army, if we confront Du Fuwei here for a long time, our army can't afford to spend time, so Fang Shangshu and I decided to change the strategy." ”

"Du Fuwei is just a mustard disease, it can't affect the overall situation, and when the training of the navy is completed, he can escort my army to the other side, and the battle can be decided, and he can temporarily take a break. Our army pulled out the camp overnight, marched west along the river, came to him to grab food, and captured Xiao's Yiyang, Handong, Anlu, Yong'an, Chuyang and other counties in Jingzhou, and must block Li Yuan's army to the west of Hanshui, complete this step of strategy, and then it is not too late to go back and clean up Du Fuwei, when the time comes, even if the naval army is not yet mature, we can also enter Yiyang, Lujiang and other places from the east by land. ”

Fang Xuanzao said more seriously under Li Mi's signal: "Xiao Mo may be vulnerable, but don't underestimate Li Yuan, the reason why he has been defeated repeatedly is because he has encountered stronger opponents." Li Yuan was able to make the Guanlong magnates willing to convince him, and he was able to conquer the state and enter the customs in just a few months, and for his own selfishness and family interests, he contacted the Turks to deal with the same clan, which shows that this person's ambition, this person's ruthlessness, and this person's means are unimaginable, and although his main force has been lost, the dozens of counties in Bashu under his control have not been affected by the war, and he can easily take out hundreds of thousands of troops, if our army cannot be taken into the vast area east of Hanshui in his weak time, it will be difficult in the future. ”

Hearing this, there was a trace of nervousness in the eyes of the generals, but there was also a hint of expectation.

"But don't worry!" A hint of pride flashed on Li Mi's face, and he said in a tone of victory: "Li Yuan lost his troops, and the remnants of the defeated generals in his hands were pitiful, and his elite strength was even defeated by Li Shimin, so what we are facing is actually a group of recruits." Moreover, when our army attacks these counties, Wang Shichong will also launch an attack on Xiyang and Nanyang, and those two counties are Li Yuan's territory, so our pressure will be at least about seventy percent less. ”

"Great Wei Wansheng." The generals stood up and roared.

"Haha! Okay, the whole army is full, eat it open today, and set off again in the evening. Li Mi laughed happily and ordered.

"Whoa."
