"Li Yuan wants to borrow Liang Qian Erjun from me, and he also wants to borrow 10,000 stone grain from me?"

In Jinyong City, Li Mi, who regarded himself as the leader of the general alliance of the world, couldn't help laughing after listening to the request of Li Yuan's envoy, and even the rest of the Wei generals in the hall couldn't help laughing.

Although Li Mi is now also acting under the banner of the Great Sui Taiwei, Shang Shuling, and the Southeast Dao Daxing Tai Shang Shuling, in fact, no one knows that Li Mi is not really attached to the imperial court.

Besides, Li Mi was attached to Yang Guang before, but Yang Guang was already dead.

Now Li Yuan and others in Jiangdu have established Yang Yu of Daxing as the emperor, and Wang Shichong of Luoyang has established Yang Tong, the king of Yue, as the emperor, all claiming to be orthodox and want to win him over, but Li Mi has not declared himself a vassal to any of the Son of Heaven.

Yang Guang is dead, Li Mi thinks that there is no one in the world who can suppress him anymore, especially after he killed Meng Rang with a trick not long ago and annexed his people's territory, Li Mi is not as good as before.

"Duke Wei, I thought it would be better to simply let Li Yuan come to Luoyang, let him fight with Wang Shichong and the two tigers, let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, no matter who wins or loses, we all have one less big enemy, maybe there is an opportunity to get rid of both sides in one fell swoop."

However, there are also objections.

"Li Yuan is not stupid, if we let him come down to Luoyang City, he will definitely not come."

Li Mi also thinks so, if Li Yuan is really willing to come to Luoyang, it will be really stupid. Wang Shichong of Luoyang will not let him enter the city, nor will he let him go to Guanzhong, let him enter Guanzhong, then Luoyang's legitimacy is even more doubtful.

And he, Li Mi, is under Luoyang City, so even if Li Yuan can defeat Wang Shichong when he comes, he will not be able to escape his own level in the end.

Therefore, he would never come to Luoyang, just as what Li Yuan wanted to do now was to cross the Yellow River, go to Hebei, and then detour to Hedong to Guanzhong.

But there was Luo Gui in front of him.

"Then kill Li Yuan first?" And humane.

Wang Bodang objected, on the grounds that Li Yuan was now returning west with nearly 100,000 Xiaoguo troops to face Yang Guang's coffin, and the whole army wanted to return, and if he fought with them at this time, he would be very hurt.

It's like a trapped beast that hurts people more easily.

He thought it would be best to let Li Yuan go over and let him fight Luo Gui.

And the Wei army only needs to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and finally make a move.

Li Mi was still hesitating.

The south bank of the Yellow River.

The east of Xingyang County, the south of Ji County, and the East County.

Luo Gui Luo Cunxiao father and son are leading more than 30,000 men and horses to garrison in the east county, and the troops are stationed in several cities in the county, because Luo Cunxiao led 10,000 loyal troops to cross the sea, and now the Shandong army is also considered to be in high morale, even if Li Mi on the opposite side claims to be million, they are not afraid.

East County, White Horse City.

Because it guards the Yellow River crossing, Baimadu, the location is very critical.

Luo Cunxiao is organizing soldiers and horses to build fortifications, digging trenches, planting deer feet, and building arrow towers······

A fast horse galloped in.

"Liaodong Marshal Military Order!"

The knight jumped off his horse and handed over a military order sent from Liaodong to Cunxiao.

The letter was sent from Liaodong City, first by the water post of Daliang Shui, the water post speedboat sent the boat into the water post station of the Liao River, and then changed to the speedboat all the way down the Liaohe River to the south into the sea, and then changed to the sea boat speedboat through the Miaodao Islands to Donglai Port.

And then it was relayed all the way.

It only took two days for this express letter to be delivered to Luo Cunxiao.

"Give up Dongjun and retreat to Qilu Second County? And let me give this Dongjun to Dou Jiande? ”

After reading the letter, the fourth child looked confused.

In order to face Li Mi, he has made a lot of preparations, although now there is another Li Yuan, but he thinks he is not afraid.

But before the fight started, Luo Cheng asked him to evacuate.

Not to mention the evacuation, he didn't let people destroy the city, and asked him to send people across the river to Ji County to find Dou Jiande's people, saying that the city would be handed over to them.

"What's wrong?"

Luo Gui took the letter and read it, "Wulang's plan is not wrong, now we are guarding Dongjun, the situation is not optimistic, there is Dou Jiande in the north, Li Mi in the west, and now there is Li Yuan in the south, all of them are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, we are caught in it, it is extremely dangerous, even if we hold it for a while, it is inevitable that people will take advantage of it." ”

"What are hundreds of thousands afraid of? The rebels are all claimed to be hundreds of thousands, but our loyal soldiers can be used as ten. With 10,000 of me, I can beat 100,000 of them. ”

Luo Gui glared at his son.

"Less bragging will you die? I didn't see what Lao Wu said in the letter, the land is lost, the people and the land are lost, the people are lost, and the people and the land are lost. Now that the forces of all parties are gathered here, let's temporarily avoid the edge and withdraw to the second county of Qilu, where there are mountains and hills that are conducive to defense, temporarily let this side out, and let them go dog eat dog. ”

Luo Cheng did not hesitate to issue orders from Liaodong and interfere with the command of Shandong, precisely because the situation here was very critical.

If it is a hard battle, in case it is fought by wheels, not only Dongjun will be lost, but the entire Shandong may also be lost.

Now that Luo Cheng is preparing to lead the army south, he naturally can't let this bridgehead position be lost. So it's better to withdraw first, but not in vain.

Bring Dou Jiande from Hebei to Henan, provoke Li Mi and Dou Jiande to be anxious, and maybe Li Yuan and Wang Shichong, who can also be introduced, will also join in, that is, two peach to kill three soldiers.

"Will Dou Jiande go south?"

"With such an opportunity, how could he not go south?" Luo Gui said with a smile, he admired the fifth child's vision. Dou Jiande now owns the land of nine counties, and in Hebei it can be regarded as having expanded to the limit, and further north, it is not easy to fight if there is Dugu, and he has to face Luo Cheng directly if he gets through.

Therefore, Dou Jiande does not continue to use troops to the north now.

So if Henan had a chance, wouldn't he come?

And if Dou Jiande reached out to Henan, Li Mi would never be willing. After all, Dongjun is next to Xingyang, and the side of the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly.

But the fourth child always felt that he worked hard to come to Henan, but he tossed for a long time, and it was too difficult to accept that he would send the territory out without fighting.

"Carry out the military orders." Luo Gui was very calm, he sent his son's shoulder, and then began to send people across the river to contact Dou Jiande's army in the name of Shandong Jiedu envoy.

Separated from the East County by a river is Ji County, Hebei Province, because there is Liyang Cang in the county, and this is an important ferry port in Hebei and Henan, so Dou Jiande specially sent a general to guard here.

The general of the Xia army stationed in Liyang was Cao Bao.

He is the brother of Dou Jiande's queen Cao, this Cao family was remarried by Dou Jian in the past two years, Cao Bao also won the trust of Dou Jiande, and he himself is indeed very brave and fierce, so he has to guard the heavy responsibility of Liyangcang, and serve as the governor of Weizhou and the post of assassin.

A group of people who came from the other side of the river soon arrived at Liyang, Weizhou.

After hearing about their intentions, Cao Bao could hardly believe his eyes.

"You said your family was going to hand over Dongjun to us?"

"Not only Dongjun, but also Jiyin County, Liang County, and Qian County, and the four counties on the east bank of the canal, all of them will be handed over to you." ”

Cao Bao used to be a butcher who killed pigs, so he had big shoulders and a round waist, but this does not mean that he is brainless.

There is no such good thing as a pie in the sky, and it is such a big pie.

"May I ask why?"

The envoy said bluntly, "Because the traitor Li Mi in Xingyang and the thief Li Yuan in Jiangdu now want to fight for these four counties, and my mighty army in Shandong is difficult to defend, so I can only give up." However, instead of abandoning it directly, it is better to hand it over to you, after all, Lord Xia is benevolent and righteous, and if you take over, it will definitely not make the lives of the people miserable. ”

"Besides, your Xia lord used to be the old marshal of my family, and we also have a little incense, maybe one day, your Xia lord will be attached to the imperial court again, and our two families will be together again?"

Cao Bao pondered.

"If Cao Tingshi doesn't dare to take it, then if we don't come, anyway, tomorrow our army will fully withdraw from these four counties, and whether Li Mi occupies it or Li Yuan occupies it at that time has nothing to do with us."

"The general thinks slowly and takes his leave!"

Cao Bao saw that someone was leaving, and couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"Wait, I promised."
