Chapter 5 Soldiers are coming to block it

Listening to Li Mizheng, who was sitting proudly in the spring breeze, explaining his own plan proudly, Cheng Yanjin's brows gradually wrinkled. Originally, after the battle of Xingluocang, the momentum of the Wagang Army suddenly surged, and even the name of Li Mi resounded in all directions, which can be said to be known to everyone, and no one knows it. This also had the consequence that when Li Mi began to speak, everyone listened quietly, and there was no idea of opposing it at all.

But the more Cheng Yanjin listened, the more unpleasant it became, Li Mi knocked down this Xingluocang as he wished, and successfully recruited a large number of people with it. Now Li Mi has already retired, and wants to return to Xingyang with this large number of people, and then try to do it later.

Although Li Mi's consideration also has a certain amount of truth, after all, the current Wagang army seems to be a huge number, but in addition to the 7,000 elite soldiers at the beginning, the rest are ordinary people, who have never experienced a battle at all, if they are against the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, they will definitely lose more than win. And if you return to Xingyang and join up with the original team that stayed there, then the combat effectiveness of the Wagang army can be greatly increased, and it will be much more convenient to attack and retreat when the time comes.

However, Cheng Yanjin also had other thoughts in his heart, most of the soldiers recruited now were locals, and it was unknown whether these people would be willing to retreat to Xingyang with the large army. If these people are unwilling to leave their hometown, then they are afraid that with Li Mi's order, these people will disappear without a trace overnight.

What's more, this Luokou warehouse is located in a hilly area, the situation is dangerous, the soil layer is hard and dry, and it is convenient for water transportation. From the Luohe River upstream, you can reach the eastern capital Luoyang, go up against the Yellow River to reach Yongzhou Tongguan and the capital Daxing, go down the river to Qingzhou to Haikou, and communicate with the Grand Canal at the same time, but also south to Xuzhou, Yangzhou, north to Jizhou and other places. Therefore, it can be said that it is an extremely important strategic location.

This Li Mi is a literati in the end, and he heard that the imperial court is recruiting an army to recapture this Xingluocang, so he has the idea of retreating. He didn't want to think that the imperial court was in such a hurry, which just showed the importance of this place. Such an important soldier's important land was actually given to others in vain, could it be that Li Mi's head was kicked by a donkey?

If it was in normal times, Li Mi would let him withdraw if he wanted to withdraw the army, and Cheng Yanjin would not care about him, the problem is that Cheng Yanjin also has some unspeakable hardships in his heart. First of all, after this period of fighting, Cheng Yanjin was surprised to find that his twelfth-floor platform skills, which had been stagnant for a long time, had actually improved slightly. Ever since his internal strength cultivation was lowered from the sixth layer to the fifth layer, no matter how hard he cultivated, his internal strength had not increased at all. Now that I have finally discovered this mystery, I naturally can't let it go.

Not only the internal strength cultivation, but even the thaumaturgy and the thirty-six path open heaven axe, after this continuous actual combat, there has been a lot of progress. Therefore, Cheng Biting Jin has been gearing up for the past few days, and he can't wait to fight with people to make his martial arts cultivation go further. When he was irritable, Cheng Yanjin even beat the idea of those martial arts masters under his hands, and wanted to desperately carry two big plate axes and rush into the middle of the group of bastards in the Wind Department to kill.

It's just that this matter is really a bit shocking, after all, these people have not yet revealed their hostility to themselves, and they still belong to themselves on the surface. Besides, after killing them, where will you go to find some martial arts masters to summon?

In fact, the most important thing is that Cheng Biting Jin estimated his own ability, thinking that with his current martial arts cultivation alone, he would not be able to wipe out the thousands of martial arts masters, besides, this group of bastards had unpredictable intentions towards him, and before they showed their fangs, Cheng Biting Jin naturally wanted to squeeze out the last drop of their use value.

Without an opponent to fight, Cheng Biting Jin's martial arts cultivation will stagnate, and if Li Mi retreats back to Xingyang, he is afraid that no enemy will come to attack for a long time, how can this make Cheng Biting Jin endure it.

Besides, the biggest winner in this battle of Xingluocang was Li Mi, but in fact, it was he Cheng who got the most benefits. Because he captured and preserved the grain stock in Xingluocang, Li Mi generously divided a large part of the more than 10 million stone grain to Cheng Yanjin. Not to mention the loot obtained, the manpower recruited by the gold bite alone in these few days is also extremely terrifying.

Because of Cheng Bitingjin's righteous act of putting grain and giving away food on the spot, when the people from all over the world came to defect to the Wagang Army, the first choice was Cheng Bitingjin's department. This cola broke Cheng Biting Jin, so those who came to defect were divided into three, six, nine and so on by him, among which the young and strong soldiers were all intercepted by Cheng Biting Jin, and those who were older or younger and weaker were given to other generals by Cheng Biting Jin pretending to be generous.

Today, there are hundreds of thousands of Wagang troops in Xingluocang, and most of them are led by hundreds of thousands of men and horses under each leader. Among them, Cheng Yanjin did not recruit the most, probably only about 80,000. But in terms of combat effectiveness, it is the most powerful of these teams. It is only because Cheng Yanjin adheres to the practice of preferring shortage to abundance in the recruitment process, so although the number is small, as long as he has a little training, he is a strong general.

The team of more than 80,000 people is the capital of Cheng Biting Jin in the future. Although there are many martial arts masters under him, the war mainly depends on these ordinary soldiers, and those martial arts masters may be able to influence the outcome of one or two battles, but they have no impact on the overall situation. And Cheng Yanjin wants to stand out among the many rebels, how can he do it without a group of soldiers who can fight well?

These more than 80,000 people are in addition to those who stayed in Changbai Mountain, and Cheng Yanjin's people have more than 100,000 people, which can already be said to be a large force. But his force is now hidden in the Wagang army, and only when Li Mi and Zhai let all the leaders of the Wagang army die, can the court or other forces notice him, but at that time, I am afraid that Cheng Yanjin's power has long been indestructible.

It was for this reason that Cheng Yanjin continued to stay in the Wagang Army, and did not think about standing on his own. can make a fortune quietly and quietly, and there are people above who have something to do, such a cheap thing, Cheng Yanjin trembled with excitement as long as he thought about it.

Look at the group of stupid hats on the rivers and lakes, one by one, with a little bit of power, they can't wait to jump out and be a big brother. These idiots don't want to think about how easy it is for the boss to do it. Look at the fate of the eldest brother, either he dies without a place to be buried, or he is like a lost dog who can't live in fear. Only we are still at ease, smiling proudly.

As soon as Li Mi finished talking about the plan to withdraw to Xingyang in the camp tent, Cheng Yanjin stood up and shouted, "Military Division, since we have occupied here, we should attack Luoyang in one go, why do we want to return to Xingyang?" Is this the work of a hero? Besides, both of my axes are about to rust! If you shrink like this, I'm afraid that it will be a question of whether you can bring it up after a while! ”

The other leaders in the camp were a little surprised when they heard Cheng Biting Jin's shouting. These days, Li Mi has no last resort, everyone has already regarded him as the Three Kingdoms Zhuge is alive, and he really admires and respects him, not to mention making a loud noise in front of him, or his voice is a little higher, he is afraid of making Li Mi unhappy, and he will not have his own share of benefits in the future. Now seeing that Cheng Biting Jin is so bold, everyone can't help but secretly despise in their hearts: It doesn't matter if a person is five big and three thick, but he didn't expect that his temper is also a two hundred and fifty temperament!

Li Mi also couldn't cry or laugh, this Cheng Biting Jin sometimes gave him an unfathomable feeling, and sometimes it was vulgar, but Cheng Biting Jin's subordinates were strong and were the targets of his focus, so Li Mi had to say with a pleasant face, "There is news from the Eastern Capital, the imperial court has appointed Hu Benlang to take Liu Changgong as the commander, and Henan Province has arrested Pei Ren as a partial general, straightened out the army and horses, and is about to set off in the near future to attack here."

Although we claim to be hundreds of thousands of troops, except for the 7,000 elite soldiers, the other new soldiers have not yet been trained, and we are afraid that we will be defeated against the imperial court. Now our army is booming, but it can't withstand any defeat, otherwise these hundreds of thousands of troops are afraid that they will be scattered overnight! ”

"Liu Changgong's birdman doesn't have much ability, what are you afraid of him doing? I am willing to lead the men and horses of my headquarters to destroy him for the military division! Besides, most of the soldiers and horses in the eastern capital were brought to Yangzhou by the emperor, and the imperial court turned Luoyang upside down, and how many soldiers and horses could be gathered? We can drown that Liu Changgong with a mouthful of spit! Why should the military advisor grow the morale of others and destroy his own prestige! ”

Seeing that Cheng Yanjin was in good spirits there, and after saying it majestically, Li Mi's heart was also stunned, yes, he only considered that there was the so-called invincible Yulin Army in the army stationed in Luoyang City, but most of the Yulin Army went to Yangzhou with today, and there were only two squads left in Luoyang.

Although the intelligence said that the imperial court was recruiting soldiers in Luoyang, Yang Xuangan was defeated two years ago, and when the imperial court settled accounts after the autumn, it killed a large number of people around Luoyang. Now that the imperial court wants to recruit troops around Luoyang, isn't it a fool's dream? Those people don't have to rebel against the imperial court, it's already good, and they still expect them to work for the imperial court, where is such a good thing?

Besides, he now controls hundreds of thousands of troops, and if he leads his men and horses to retreat without fighting, it will be spread that the heroes of the world still think that they are vain and vulnerable. Now that Cheng Yanjin is asking for battle, let him try, with the ability of those martial arts masters under him, maybe he can really defeat the court officers and soldiers who will commit crimes. If the situation is not good, it is not too late to find a way to retreat, anyway, when it comes to escaping, he Li Mi is much more experienced, and he still has the confidence to retreat with his whole body.

In fact, there is still a selfish idea in Li Mi's heart, the nearly two thousand martial arts masters under Cheng Yanjin's hands, no matter which way the leader is angry, Li Mi is naturally no exception. After all, such a powerful group of martial arts masters, if they are allowed to continue, they will definitely pose a threat to his status in the future. If Cheng Biting Jin's power can be weakened by the hand of the imperial court, Li Mi is also optimistic.
