Li Mi, Wang Bodang, Xu Shiji, Wei Zheng, Wang Junkuo and others gathered in Xingyang, accumulating strength, they got together, and they all heard about Dahua's dispatch of troops, and discussed and discussed hotly.

"Dahua can't wait to send troops in the spring, it seems that Luo Cheng really has ambitions and wants to annex the world." Li Mi sighed, feeling a little bad in his heart, because this should have been his original idea, but he was defeated when he fought for Luoyang with Wang Shichong, and now he is no longer powerful, and he can no longer stir up the storm like before, and even all over the country is laughing at him as a fake dragon.

In fact, the Li family should have the world, and it is also considered nonsense by the people of the world, because both Li Mi and Li Yuan have been prosperous and risen strongly, but they have all been swept off the altar, disappointing the people and heroes, and feeling unreliable.

Once your reputation is ruined, you lose your luck, and it will be too difficult to reunite in the future.

Wei Zheng rationally analyzed: "Dahua is now gathering momentum, and it does have the strength to annex the world, please bring the map, Nuo Dajiangshan, Dahua's territory is already quite vast, and the two major regions are spreading, which is quite beneficial to his use of troops." ”

"Where should we go from here, do you have any good advice?" Although Li Mi is no longer the emperor, he is still called the king, so when he speaks to these courtiers, he still uses the courtesy of a monarch and a minister.

Xu Shiji said: "You should sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, see how long Wang Shichong can hold out in the face of Dahua's offensive, at present, the Dahua army is known as 500,000 out of the letter valley, conquered Hongnong County, and approached Henan County, I heard that Wang Shichong has sent troops to meet the enemy, to block Dahua's attack, the soldiers are divided into two roads, and these two commanders are the Wang family, but the generals under their command are the old generals of Wagang, Pei Renji and his son, Luo Shixin, Cheng Zhijie and others are among them, Wang Shichong wants them to be cannon fodder, fight hard with Dahua, and consume Dahua's troops, In the end, Wang Shichong will still collect troops to hold Luoyang, and then wait for reinforcements from the north and south, which is his strategy. ”

"Oh, how so?" Li Mi asked, curious about Xu Shiji's unique views.

Xu Shiji has led the army in the past two years, is familiar with the art of war, and his vision has increased a lot, so his vision is also vicious, and he said when he encounters the key point: "Wang Shichong is cunning and treacherous, he has no courage and strength to fight hard with Dahua in the field, because Dahua's army, many things in the northwest, the strongest is the cavalry, which is incomparable to the Central Plains army, the iron cavalry is at least 50,000, and they are all excellent war horses, weapons and equipment are also excellent, if you open the formation to fight, no one can resist, but the cavalry has weaknesses, one is the huge consumption, Second, it cannot be used for frontal siege. ”

"Wang Shichong will definitely use his strengths and avoid weaknesses to deal with Dahua, first with those generals, troops, and Dahua to the death, lost part of the enemy's strength, he mobilized a large army to stick to Luoyang, come to a solid soup, as long as it drags on, when the time comes, Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei, Xiao Liang tripartite, will not see death without help, because now Dahua is powerful, lips and teeth are cold, no one can compete with Dahua's strength alone, and finally there will be an alliance."

Everyone suddenly became enlightened, and they all felt that what Xu Shiji said was very reasonable.

Wang Junkuo was more straightforward, and said openly: "Damn, this Wang Shichong is a cunning person, so let my old soldiers in Wagang be cannon fodder, how can it be reasonable, we must also Cheng Zhijie them, don't be fooled, and leave Wang Shichong as soon as possible." ”

"Don't worry, Cheng Zhijie, Luo Shixin and others are not easy to fool, they were looked at dead before, and they had no chance to leave Wang Shichong, this time it is different." Xu Shiji sighed lightly.

Wang Bodang heard the sound outside the strings and asked, "General Xu, you said that General Cheng and them, will they break away from the battle, run away directly, and come back to us." ”

Xu Shiji smiled bitterly: "I may be able to escape from Wang Shichong's camp, but I may not be able to come to Xingyang." ”

"Ah, where can they go?" Wang Bodang was a little puzzled.

"Dahua!" Xu Shiji said two words, and everyone was stunned.

.........

Hou Junji and Lai Hu'er divided the troops left and right, and Li Jing sat in the middle of the road, commanding the main force of nearly 200,000 and continuing to advance.

Xue Wanqian was the vanguard, like a sharp knife, constantly inserting into Wang Shichong's hinterland area.

Once several cities in Hongnong County were swept away, then Henan County and Luoyang City were completely exposed to the iron hooves of the army.

On this day, after Xue Wancheng took Changyuan City, he learned an intelligence news from Luoyang, Wang Shichong sent two teams of men, each with 40,000 or 50,000 people, to guard Mianchi and Yiyang, blocking the necessary route for Dahua to march into Luoyang, which are two gateways to the east.

"Wang Shichong still dares to send troops, that's right, first break the pond, and then surround Yiyang, take down the two cities that must pass through, and if the two portals are pulled out, Luoyang City will have less barriers." After Xue Wancheng calmed down, he decided to attack one of the cities first.

However, before attacking the city again, he still had to report to Li Jing, the commander of the three armies.

When Li Jing learned the news, he groaned for a while, and also guessed Wang Shichong's strategic intentions, smiled coldly, and gave Xue Wanqian a strange military order, that is, to line up in front of the pond, not to attack for the time being, to surround but not fight, to persuade surrender, because the people who came to intercept the Dahua army were all surrendered soldiers, including old Sui soldiers and Wagang soldiers, who were not desperate to serve Wang Shichong at all, and it was better to outwit it than to attack.

As the so-called good fighters have no outstanding achievements, this is the truth, not necessarily through the fight to achieve the goal, if you can not lose troops, obtain more vital forces, for their own use, is the best strategy.
