Li Po's request, Wang Shiyun agreed without hesitation.

For him, it's really not a big deal, and now Luoyang Prison can be said to be overcrowded, including surnames and everything, and those who can be locked in prison and haven't lost their heads are not small people.

Wang Shiyun pondered, after going back to Luoyang, he would find some troublesome people to send to this person.

On the one hand, it can be regarded as letting these people live, and at the same time, it can make Luoyang quieter, imagine what some people will look like after they arrive in Jindi, Wang Shiyun's mood is finally a lot more relaxed.

Li Po is also in a good mood, this is an idea that came to mind on a whim...... The eastern capital is where the gate valves gather, which is not far behind Chang'an.

Even if they make a mess of the Eastern Capital, even if they can let Wang Shichong send it over, it will definitely not be easy to deal with, but we don't dislike people, pick and choose, there are always people who can use it

After he became the king, the gap of talents is getting bigger and bigger, the eastern capital and Chang'an, are his favorite places, but unfortunately, both places are very hot, and now there is a rare opportunity in front of him, first blackmail Wang Shichong, take advantage of it.

But once the train of thought is opened, the road in front of Li Po is much wider.

Luoyang, the eastern capital, is definitely not in his consideration now, even if Wang Shichong is defeated, he will not lead the army to rush into Luoyang, but Luoyang does have a lot of talents, so you might as well take the opportunity to find some to come over.

Thinking of this, his heart moved again, compared to him, the king of Han, Li Tang's attraction to the people of Dongdu and others...... Well, then you don't have to compare, right?

In the past two years, the people of Dongdu have fled one after another, and they have never seen anyone fleeing to Jindi, even if Li Yuan has not sent many envoys to run around, but his illustrious family background is still faintly affecting the pattern of the world.

Once Wang Shichong was defeated, the trees fell and scattered, and the scene was ...... Tsk, it is definitely not him Li Po who has taken a big advantage, Li Yuan will be the most direct beneficiary.

And there are not only talents in Luoyang City, but also population, both of which he urgently needs...... It seems that the strategy will have to be changed in the future.

Wang Shiyun didn't know that this person was a wolf, and even Li Yuan only heard about the changes in Henan and stepped up his efforts to send troops to guard Yutong Pass, the person in front of him had already regarded them as dead people, and he thought about how to gnaw a bite of fat after the war.

Friends are sometimes more terrible than enemies.

Wang Shiyun was still talking, but Li Po's mind had already flown away from the Nine Heavens Cloud.

The request from Henan was very simple, and there was nothing unexpected by Li Po, except for grain and grass, war horses, ordnance, etc., it was just to let him contain Li Shenfu, Li Gang, Xiao Yu and others on the edge of the Yellow River.

As for Tongguan really being broken by Wang Shichong's head, what happened after that must be that everyone uses their own means to compete, and there is no need to say much about things that have tacit understanding.

Li Po almost agreed to it, and did not mention any more conditions, Wang Shiyun left satisfied, thinking that he would not stay longer in Pusaka, and it would be a matter of the past few days to go back to Henan.

Li Po paced in the lobby, thought for a long time, and finally sighed, it seems that he will use soldiers this year.

Originally, what he thought at the beginning of the year was that there was the Yellow River separating him, and he didn't worry about Li Tang's attack for the time being, and he didn't plan to cross the river into Guanxi, just so that he could take a break and let everyone take a breather.

But in the end, it seems that it is still the same, and the plan cannot keep up with the rapid change...... At the beginning of the year, I thought a little wishful thinking.

That night, Li Po summoned Wei Chigong, Chen Yuan, and Wei Chi to come to discuss the matter, wanting to hear what they had to say.

The three of them said a lot, but the meaning was almost the same, with the current troops stationed along the Yellow River, it was difficult to find a suitable fighter in the upcoming battle.

Whether it is Li Tang or Wang Shichong, no matter who wins or loses, they must strictly defend the Jindi army, that is to say, it is no problem to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but if you want to benefit from the fisherman, the existing troops are insufficient.

Speaking of which, there are almost 20,000 people stationed along the Yellow River, about 8,000 cavalry, more than 10,000 infantry troops, stationed in three places, echoing each other, plus Puban, the dragon gate in hand, with the advantage of cavalry, it can be said that it is more than enough to hold the banks of the Yellow River, but to cross the river to fight, it is a joke.

And strategically, the three did have some differences.

On the premise of Wang Shichong's defeat, Wei Chikai and Chen Yuan both felt that they should take the opportunity to cross the river to the south, even if they could not directly take the eastern capital, they should occupy some passes to prevent Li Tang from going east, and they could also watch the movements in Henan and prepare to send troops.

In fact, they felt that the Yellow River was in front of them, both as a barrier and a barrier, and they wanted to go out to find a place to stay.

And Wei Chigong was obviously more interested in Guanxi, and his suggestion was very bold, it was better to take advantage of the battle between Li Tang and Wang Shichong to force the Yellow River and take Feng Yi directly.

Their advice is very relevant to their origins.

Wei Chikai's home is in the Eastern Capital, Chen Yuan is from Hebei, and his proposal to enter Henan is almost subconsciously selfish, but Wei Chigong is not, he is from Daizhou, so his proposal is to closely follow Li Po's strategy, Li Po has an unusual concern for Kansai.

As Li Po's confidant, Wei Chigong naturally wants to do something that is in line with the Lord's mind, if Li Nian is here, his suggestion will definitely not be unexpected, the same as Wei Chigong.

They are not all-rounders, and they lack the overall situation, and the difference between generals and handsome talents is here.

But in any case, their enterprising spirit is so strong, completely different from the generals of Chengping, they now have the intention of breaking through the Yellow River.

In fact, the three of them more or less said what Li Po thought in his heart.

The moon is on the top, and the night is getting deeper.

Li Po saw that they couldn't say any tricks, so he waved his hand to stop their dispute, "The magic of using soldiers lies in knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and doing what one can do. ”

"In this way, after this year's autumn harvest, I'm afraid it will be empty again......"

After the three warriors finished speaking, they blinked their eyes and looked at each other, and they were even more ambitious in their hearts.

Think about it, from last year, to the beginning of this year, after a series of battles, the army has been gathered in one place, although the army has been victorious, a lot of harvest, but more than 100,000 people eat horses and chew, even their generals feel that the grain and grass are like flowing water, and they are gone in a blink of an eye.

That is, the foundation accumulated before is relatively thick, otherwise, plus the counties in southern Jinan, not to mention this year, even when Emperor Wen was in power, if there is no external support, I am afraid that I will have a headache.

Now that only a few months have passed, and the army is about to reunite, wouldn't it be easier for everyone to stay on the shore before that?

Thinking about the scene of the army rolling and the carriages and horses jammed on the road, Chen Yuan shuddered first, which was obviously the sequelae left by his participation in the battle of Liaodong.

It's almost a matter of one sentence, and the three of them don't squeak.

They followed Li Po for a long time, and after hearing and seeing, they were also cautious about the matter of grain and grass, unlike Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande's subordinates, as long as there was still grain in the army, they would "not be in a hurry", until the grain stock was gradually exhausted, and then they thought of a way to deduct the military rations, or go elsewhere to grab some back.

In fact, up to now, the heroes in the north can gain a firm foothold are all people who can still feed their subordinates at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan is like this, Dou Jiande is like this, and Li Po is no exception.

Now Wang Shichong can't hold it in the first place, why can't he hold it is actually a matter of grain and grass.

Dou Jiande's hand holds the scorched earth of Shandong and Hebei, why is it longer than Wang Shichong? That's not because Dou Jiande was more merciful than Wang Shichong, but because there wasn't much left in the population of Shandong and Hebei, so the rations weren't as much as Henan needed.

Of course, Wang Shichong, who relied on Luoyang Dacang, was the first to be unable to hold on, which is undoubtedly a terrible thing, which means that the suffering of Henan people may be more tragic than that of Shandong people and Hebei people.

At this time, Li Po's mood gradually became heavy after careful consideration.

"You guys, you know about war, can you think about anything else?" I blamed the three henchmen and generals a little, and I didn't say anything deeply, the vision of this thing can only be seen as artificial.

If they don't evolve themselves, then their future will soon be limited, because Li Po will not stop and wait for them, and with the increasing number of talents around them, they should understand that there will be fewer and fewer opportunities to discuss military affairs with him in this way, and they will probably end up being unknown to everyone.

"Chen Yuan built a camp by the river, very prescient, Wei Chi, you send some people over, the more barracks you build, the better, think about it, once Wang Shichong loses, what will happen?"

"The soldiers of the Beidu will be descended, the generals, or even the displaced people will spread all over the river, but the Yellow River will stop it, so where will most of the people go? Therefore, it is only right to be prepared to surrender and rebel. ”

"Even if Wang Shichong is lucky to invite heaven and can break through the Tong Pass, Li Shenfu and others on the other side of the river have only two ways to go, one is to lead me across the river and attack Wang Shichong together, and the other is to lead the troops to defend on the spot, the most stupid thing is to prevent me from crossing the river while going to confront Wang Shichong ......"

"So, there are a lot of preparations to be made, you all cheer me up, no matter who wins or loses in this battle, it will be accomplished for me, and if anyone dares to do that tiger's mouth, it will be impossible to return."

In May of this year, the situation changed, but Li Po was not ready to use the army, as he himself said, the ingenuity of using troops lies in doing what he can.

And since he started his army in Yunnei, there have only been three times that he can do his best to fight for it, one is to go east to Taihang and attack Luo Yi, the second is to lead the army north to help Ashina Yanghuan ascend to the Turkic Khan, and the third time is to fight with Li Shentong in Xihe County.
