Xu Shiji is an old man of the Wagang family, with a high prestige in the army, and a good relationship with the owners of the village, and this person has lofty ambitions, although he now belongs to Li Mi, but Li Mi has always been wary of this person.

Last time Xu Shiji proposed to raid Liyang, this was a very good decision, took Liyang, Li Mi completely controlled all the large granaries in Henan, with endless grain and grass, and the location of Liyang is very special, since ancient times, it has been an important place for soldiers, and its strategic significance is very important.

Liyang is bordered by the Yongji Canal in the west and the Yellow River in the east, and the water transportation is very convenient, and the rented rice exploited from the Hebei region is concentrated here first, and then transported to Luoyang and Chang'an by the Yongji Canal or the Yellow River. When the army was used in the northeast, the military grain transported by Jianghuai was also stored here, and then transported to the northeast, which was the only important granary in Hebei.

Known as: Liyang harvest, solid Kyushu.

But Li Mi regretted it, at that time, Li Mi had just been angry and Zhai Rang, in order to appease the Wagang family and unite the general policy, he sent Xu Shiji to lead 5,000 people from the Wagang headquarters to seize Liyang, which caused Xu Shiji to sit down all of a sudden.

Now, Xu Shiji opened a warehouse to release grain, and in ten months, he raised more than 200,000 young and strong people at once, and trained all of them into an army. Now, Xu Shiji is training the new army in Liyang every day, and even Li Mi, who is far away in Jinyong City, seems to be able to hear the sound of his drills, how can Li Mi rest assured?

Li Mi knew the importance of Li Yang, and he also understood the strength and threat of the Xiaoguo Army, because he had experienced it firsthand. But at the same time, Li Mi was also wary of Xu Shiji, so Li Mi pondered that he wanted to use the Xiaoguo army to kill Xu Shiji's strength, at least, he had to let him take the eastern capital first, and then he would turn back to Liyang to meet the enemy.

But there are two dangerous factors in doing so, one is that under heavy pressure, Xu Shiji could not guarantee that he would not defect and surrender directly to the Sui army; Second, although Xu Shiji's troops have 200,000 people, most of them are homeless people with no combat experience, and their combat effectiveness has to be put into a big question mark, in case if the Xiaoguo army is killed with a stick and quickly takes Liyang, and Li Mi's main force is gathered under the eastern capital Jiancheng, then Li Mi's chrysanthemums will bloom widely, and the situation will be extremely unfavorable to the Wei army!

Half a ring, after everyone finished chattering, Li Mi also had a plan in his heart, and said: "I mean, this fighter is very rare, my 300,000 troops are pointing directly at the eastern capital, our army is putting all its energy into the battle in the eastern capital, the direction of Liyang does not matter for the time being, I believe in Xu Shiji's strength, he will definitely be able to hold Liyang for us, and wait until our army takes the eastern capital, and return to Liyang!" ”

With these words, the faces of everyone present changed, and Shan Xiongxin was the first to speak, saying, "King Wei thinks twice!" Liyang is very important to our army, most of Xu Shiji's subordinates are new soldiers, and I am afraid that they will not be able to resist the attack of more than 100,000 regular troops of the Sui Dynasty! ”

Li Mi stopped his hand, signaled Shan Xiongxin not to worry, and said with a smile: "You know what you said, but recruits have to go through the tempering of war to become real Predators!" Lone also knew that if he did this, Xu Shiji's pressure would be great, but Lone trusted his ability more, and Lone believed that he would definitely be able to guard the East Gate for our army before Lone took the Eastern Capital! ”

Hearing this, Pei Renji frowned and said, "King Wei, the last general thinks that it is better to send someone to lead the army to support and camp outside Liyang City!" ”

Li Mi nodded and said: "What Pei Zhuguo said is very lonely, so let the two brothers of the Black Society and the White Society of Qian County take their headquarters to support Liyang, and pass on Xu Yuanlang of Qi County and Xu Shiren of Rencheng that if the Sui army attacks Liyang, they will be ordered to lead their headquarters to attack the back of the Sui army!" ”

Seeing that Li Mi's mind had been decided, Wei Zheng still spoke out and admonished: "King Wei, I think that although our army has newly defeated Wang Laoxie, the main force of the Eastern Capital has not been damaged, although most of them are recruits composed of anointing children and ruffians, but the number is still more than 100,000 people, and Wang Laoxie is now stationed in Hanjiacang City, and the morale has gradually recovered, coupled with this person's old plan, if our army attacks the eastern capital, Wang Laoxie will definitely lead the army to help!" And the eastern capital city is high and deep, and there are eight bows and crossbows, cannons and flying stones and other big killing weapons, although the morale of our army is high, but in a hurry, it is still not possible! ”

"Now, intelligence from all sides indicates that the main force of the Sui court may move north to Liyang at any time, and then move west to the eastern capital. If our army can't stop the enemy outside the Yellow River in Liyang, let the Sui army successfully take Liyang, and enter the vast plain, then our army will be attacked by the enemy, and the situation between the enemy and us will be reversed immediately! I also hope that King Wei will think twice! ”

After listening to Wei Zheng's words, although Li Mi knew that he was very reasonable, he had already made up his mind, so he said: "Xuancheng, what you said is right, but why don't you think about it the other way?" Although the eastern capital is strong, how can I have the courage of my soldiers? My 300,000-strong army is now under the eastern capital, and the people in the eastern capital are already panicking. The ancients said: No matter how high and thick the city wall is, it must be guarded by people. Now that our army is united, the new army in the Eastern Capital is unstable, as long as our army is full of strength and successfully enters the Eastern Capital in one fell swoop, then Wang Laoxie is a rat waiting to die! ”

"Also, even if Yang Guang's serious injury is fake, he wants to go north and return to the west, and Liyang is a hurdle that can't be bypassed! Xu Shiji is a world-class famous general, and Lone also sent him reinforcements, so he will be able to hold on for a while. At that time, when the faint monarch saw that our army was threatening the eastern capital, and the eastern capital was in danger, he would definitely forcibly bypass Liyang and march into the tiger prison at all costs! In this way, the fighters of our army are coming! ”

Wei Zheng worried: "But King Wei, Zhang Qingte, Xu Shiren, and the brothers of the Black Society and the White Society are all heroes, but most of the troops are ordinary rebels, with poor equipment and weak combat effectiveness, the Xiaoguo Army of the Sui Army is Yang Guang's Praetorian Guard, and its combat effectiveness is the best in the world, and the Right Yiwei Water Division who came to protect the child is also known as the first water division in the world, the Sui Army is menacing, if it can't be resisted, what should I do!?" ”

Li Mi sneered: "What is the best in the world, these names are all blown out!" General Sui Hu Benlang and Hebei Provincial Arrest Ambassador Wang Wei is a well-known general in the world, and the Hebei Army under his command is the old foundation left by Yang Yichen. Although the Hebei army attacked sharply, it was still stubbornly resisted by us, and finally defeated them, so that their entire army was annihilated, and Wang Wei also fled in a hurry and drowned! ”

"How is Liu Changgong's Eastern Capital Army? At that time, we were far from being as strong as we are now, and when we encountered the main force of the official army, we all avoided its edge and insisted on fighting, what was the result? Our army's shotguns have been replaced by cannons, and the combat effectiveness has been greatly improved! ”

"So, don't believe the things that blow out, you can only see the real kung fu on the battlefield! Lone trusts Xu Shiji, just like Lone trusts that the generals present can fight the Eastern Capital for Lone! ”

Seeing that Wei Zheng wanted to persuade again, Li Mi stood up straight and said in an undoubted tone: "The determination has been made, Xuan Cheng doesn't need to persuade anymore!" Order, let Zhou Wenju lead his troops to settle in Tiger Prison Pass, the Black Society and the White Society lead their headquarters to aid Liyang, Xu Yuanlang and Xu Shiren lead their troops to prepare for battle, and copy the Sui army's back road at any time! ”

Speaking of this, Li Mi drew his sword and said firmly: "Order the whole army, early tomorrow morning, the whole army will enter the eastern capital!" ”

Seeing this, regardless of whether it made sense or not, the crowd present had no choice but to clench their fists and say, "No! ”
