Hearing Li Mi, who was sitting at the top, say that he wanted to lead the troops to attack Luoyang, the leaders in the camp immediately became a little excited. Li Mi has always planned before acting, since he said that he would attack Luoyang, it means that the strength of the Wagang Alliance is now enough to defeat the officers and soldiers of Luoyang.

It's just that when everyone was excited, Zhai Rang, who was sitting next to Li Mi, hesitated a little, and then poured a basin of cold water on him, "Pushan Gong, I'm afraid it's not so easy to attack Luoyang, right?" ”

Li Mi said: "Of course, Luoyang will not be at your fingertips. However, since the tyrant Yang Guang went to Yangzhou, the eastern capital was empty, and the army's combat effectiveness was not strong. Moreover, Yang Tong, the king of Yue who defended the city, was young and ignorant and had no opinions. The few officials who stayed behind had different political views, and the people were supportive. Especially the ministers Duan Da and Yuan Wen, who are now in power in Luoyang, are a pair of fools. According to the next estimate, none of them are our opponents. Therefore, in Yimi's opinion, now is the most suitable time to attack Luoyang. ”

After listening to Li Mi's words, Zhai Rang was still not at ease, and said, "Most of these situations are hearsay, you and I don't know what the real situation in Luoyang City is!" I think it's better to send some people to find out the truth first, and then make a calculation! ”

Seeing that Zhai Rang was still not at ease, Li Mi couldn't, so he had to agree to send a team of men out of Luoyang to reconnoiter the enemy. Seeing that Li Mi was a little helpless to arrange manpower, Cheng Yanjin, who had been sitting there silently, couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for him. If he is willing to listen to Li Mi's advice, he is afraid that he will already occupy Luoyang and become a hegemon, where will he end up with a place to die.

Even the current Zhai Rang is the same. When he started to do things, he was timid, hesitating, and he didn't have the arrogance of a big husband to make a decision at all. Cheng Yanjin knew the affairs of Luoyang very clearly in his heart, and those spies of the Salt Gang Zhuque Hall were not eating dry rice, not to mention Luoyang, even the situation of Yang Guang who stayed in Yangzhou, Cheng Yanjin also knew it clearly.

It's just that Cheng Yanjin didn't say it to Li Mi and Zhai Rang. Because he knew that he was talking about it in vain, he was found by Li Mi, and it could be said that he wore the same pants as Li Mi. If the truth is told, Zhai Rang does not doubt that he and Li Mi sing a duet. Anyway, it's not very far from Luoyang, so let Li Mi send someone over to confirm An Yi and An Zhai's heart! After all, no matter what, Zhai Rang is the nominal leader of the Wagang Alliance, and without his approval, everyone will be unknown. []

The person sent out by Li Mi was called Pei Shufang, and he was an old man under Zhai Rang's hands. This man has no other skills, just more honest. Li Mi sent him out to reassure Zhai Rang, after all, this is his subordinate, and he is an honest man, so the news that this person heard must be true, Zhai Rang can't believe it or not!

However, it is a pity that the world is unpredictable, just when Cheng Yanjin and many other leaders put their military horses in order and were ready to set off soon, Pei Shufang, who went out to inquire about the news, came back in disgrace. After carefully inquiring about Uncle Pei in the camp tent, everyone's hearts suddenly cooled.

It is estimated that this Pei Shufang did not pick an auspicious day of the zodiac when he went out, and when this unlucky guy took his men and horses to Luoyang to inquire about the news, he inadvertently encountered a team of officers and soldiers outside Luoyang City. Originally, the men and horses led by Pei Shufang were all disguised, and it was impossible for those officers and soldiers to detect their identities.

But the place where they encountered the officers and soldiers was a tavern, and those officers and soldiers arrived first, drinking and eating upstairs, while Pei Shufang and his people stayed downstairs. When those well-fed officers and soldiers came down from the upper floor, they found that Pei Shufang, who could not be avoided, also whispered to his subordinates not to panic, not to miss traces.

Who would have thought that when those officers and soldiers passed by their table, a drunken officer and soldier stumbled and pounced on one of them. After a few unintentional tears, the armor on this rebel was exposed.

So, naturally, the two parties had a big fight in the hotel. Pei Shufang, who was lonely, saw that the enemy could not be defeated, and there were more and more officers and soldiers who rushed to hear the news, so he had no choice but to lead his men and horses to flee. When they escaped, they found that they were missing a few people, and when they inquired, they learned that they were not dead, but had been captured by the officers and soldiers.

Pei Shufang wandered around Luoyang with his men and horses for a few more days, and heard that the officers and soldiers left behind in Luoyang knew the news from those prisoners that the Wagang army was going to attack the eastern capital, and immediately began to defend the strong city, and sent people to gallop to Yangzhou to report the Son of Heaven. After getting the news, Pei Shufang hurriedly rushed back with his people.

The army has not yet set off, the news has leaked first, and it is impossible to achieve the purpose of the sneak attack, what should I do next? There are tens of thousands of soldiers in Luoyang City, all of whom are extremely elite soldiers. Although the corps of the Wagang Alliance is numerous, most of them are hairy boys who have never experienced the battlefield.

Because of this, I originally wanted to rely on a surprise sneak attack to launch a large army to fight Luoyang City, and now there is no hope for this idea, so is the overlord hard to fight or find another good strategy? The eyes of all the leaders in the camp were firmly fixed on Li Mi and Zhai Rang, who were sitting at the top, to see how they decided.

Zhai Rang's opinion was not as expected by Cheng Biting Jin, this timid guy felt that not only could he not attack Luoyang now, but even Xingyang could not stay here, lest Yang Guang send the so-called invincible Yulin Army from Yangzhou, and then everyone would move their heads and lose their heads.

Listening to Zhai Rang vigorously persuading the leaders to go back to Wagangzhai with him, Cheng Yanjin sneered in his heart, it stands to reason that this mountain king should be more and more daring, and his appetite should be bigger and bigger, why is this Zhai Rang the opposite, always thinking about going back to his one-third of an acre of land, even if the entire Wagangzhai is made of gold, it is not as wonderful as the flower world outside! What can you do in that mountain?

Li Mi next to him probably was also a little impatient when he heard it, so he interrupted Zhai Rang's words in a somewhat impolite voice: "The general's words are wrong!" From Mi's point of view, now, this Luoyang must be beaten! There is a cloud in the art of war: strike first, strike later. We are taking the lead, if we miss this favorable opportunity, I am afraid that Luoyang will be more difficult to capture in the future. Now that Luoyang is on guard, the sneak attack has lost its meaning, so the only way is to lead the men and horses to attack! ”

Seeing that Li Mi was about to give orders there, Cheng Biting Jin was in a hurry, and stood up desperately, "Your Excellency Pushan Gong, we have a lot of people now, but there is not much stock in the army, can we attack Xingluocang first, and then attack Luoyang?" ”

After listening to Cheng Biting Jin's words, Li Met stood up, looked at Cheng Biting Jin with a meaningful gaze, and then said, "What Brother Cheng said is very reasonable, you should indeed attack Xingluocang first!" ”

Hearing that Li Mi changed his words, Zhai Rang next to him was a little strange, so he asked. Li Mi said, "And today, there has been a famine for many years, the price of rice is high, and the people are hungry, and Naxingluocang is one of the three major granaries of this dynasty, which stores a large amount of grain. If it can be attacked, it will not only be able to obtain a large supply of grain and grass to solve the urgent needs of our army, but also cut off the supply of the line from Luoyang to Xingluocang, which will have the effect of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle for the defenders of Luoyang.

And the most important thing is that we can also send food to help the poor, so that people from near and far will definitely rush to join us, and it is not difficult to recruit hundreds of thousands of soldiers! At that time, even if the imperial court launches a large army to attack, we will have nothing to fear.

Besides, the walls of Luoyang City are tall, and the officers and soldiers defending the city are all elite, and it is only a little difficult to capture it with our current men. And if our men and horses are increasing several times, we can easily besiege Luoyang City, and if we want to occupy Luoyang at that time, it is not a matter of words? ”

Speaking of this, Li Mi looked deeply at Cheng Yanjin twice, there are a lot of granaries in various places in this dynasty, but Cheng Yanjin only mentions this Xingluo warehouse. Although Li Mi didn't care about the logistics in the army, he also knew that the food in the army was currently sufficient, otherwise those officials in charge of grain and grass would have reported it a long time ago. And Cheng Yanjin is talking nonsense with his eyes open like this now, which is obviously reminding him. Li Mi is an extremely smart character, a little bit of it, Cheng Bites King Kong and says that Xingluocang, Li Mi understands in his heart.

Although I don't know why Cheng Yanjin has a better idea in his heart but doesn't say it himself, but wants to borrow his mouth, but this idea is extremely clever for the current situation, so Li Mi is not polite and changes his mind directly.

Zhai Rang next to him didn't seem to see Cheng Biting Jin's opinion being adopted by Li Mi, seeing that Li Mi agreed with Cheng Biting Jin's opinion, and also said a bunch of big truths, Zhai Rang immediately asked, "Since Xingluocang is one of the three major granaries of this dynasty, the precautions must be very strict!" And it's still some distance from Xingyang! Our army is afraid that as soon as it set off, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court over there will get the news and be ready for battle! ”

"The general doesn't need to worry, that Xingluocang is nearly two hundred miles away from the eastern capital, although now Luoyang has received the news and is stepping up the reinforcement of the city defense, but now he can only take care of Luoyang, and he will not be able to take care of Xingluocang for a while. As long as we attack immediately, Naxing Luocang is defenseless and will definitely be able to fall in one fell swoop. By the time Dongdu got the news, Xingluocang had already fallen into our hands.

As for the general's fear that our movements will arouse the alarm of the Xingluocang defenders, this is very reassuring! Xingluocang is now weakly garrisoned, we only need to send an elite army, avoid the Tiger Prison Pass, bypass Yangcheng from Xingyang South, Yuefang Mountain, and go straight to Xingluocang from Luokou, then the big thing can be decided! ”

After listening to Li Mi's eloquent remarks, Zhai Rang shook his head helplessly, "Pushan Gong is indeed a heroic strategy, but I can't do anything about it, it's difficult to do it!" Pushan Gong can be the master of the arrangement! You lead the army first, and I will be the queen of your palace! ”
