Chapter 64: A Woman's Intuition
With the surrender of Qiu He, Gao Shilian also surrendered to Xiao Miao, but they did not go to Jiangling, but accepted Xiao Miao's reward as courtiers.
All the soldiers that Ning Changzhen had left behind before were captured by Gao Shilian, and now Qiu He not only returned these soldiers, but also gave his own soldiers to Xiao Mo by the way.
Although this battle took some time and thought, Xiao Mo finally won this big deal, but one of the deals was made to the death and the other was to lose the death.
The business development of Daliang Company was not all smooth sailing, and the Shi'an County that Xiao Milling met was the master who did not eat hard and soft.
The county of Shi'an County is Li Xizhi, the grandson of Li Qianzhe, the general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and a descendant of a famous family, but he did not recruit tens of thousands of soldiers like other rich second generations and second generations of officials.
In order to defend Shi'an County, Li Xizhi spread his wealth and recruited 3,000 soldiers, which is only two possibilities, one is that there are too few people in that place, and the other is that he, the second generation of officials, has too few funds on hand, and 3,000 people sounds too shabby.
It's just that these 3,000 people are probably able to fight with one dozen ten, because Ren Xiao Mill sent troops to attack many times, but they didn't conquer it, it was a miracle, and I don't know if these 3,000 soldiers could fight, or the people sent by Xiao Mill were weak.
More than 100,000 soldiers, one person can smoke these 3,000 people to death with a soak of urine, but these 3,000 people are like Sparta, all of them are in good spirits.
Under Xiao Miao's propaganda offensive, Li Xianzhi learned of the death of Emperor Yang of Sui, and in order to express his heart, Li Xianzhi personally led the people to mourn for three days, but he did not return to Xiao Miao.
Since he did not surrender, Li Xianzhi's subordinates persuaded him to establish himself as the king, on the grounds that Li Xianzhi was originally a nobleman in the Central Plains, and he had worked here for so long, with outstanding political achievements, and Huayi was satisfied, and he was simply a local snake with aristocratic blood.
Now that Lao Yang is hanging, there is no need to ask Agui, the company of the Sui Dynasty is bound to go bankrupt, such a big cake, with the prestige of your Lao Li, it is enough to command Jiangnan, even if you don't plan to attack the Central Plains, you can also cut Lingnan and claim the king like Zhao Tuo in the last years of the Qin Dynasty, that is appropriate, and Zhao Tuo is still very long, more than a hundred years old.
And the whole world is saying that proverb "Li is the king", you Lao Li can't keep up with the trend if you don't do this!
In this way, it seems that in fact, the starting point of this subordinate is really for Li Xianzhi's goodness, on the one hand, the Sui Dynasty, which is determined to perish, and on the other hand, the enemy soldiers approaching outside the city, in this case, they either surrender or establish themselves as kings, and there is no second way to go.
But Li Xianzhi didn't think so, but shouted angrily, my old Li family has been loyal for generations, and their loyalty is famous, and now although the emperor has gone to sell salted duck eggs, the Da Sui company is still bankrupt.
Zhao Tuo was arrogant back then, eating a bowl of noodles and the bottom of the bowl, what is there to learn! If any of you people talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being ruthless! After saying that, he turned around and left.
Seeing that the boss is so fierce, who else dares to speak up among the employees below?
Li Xizhi returned to his house, took out the letter brought by his son Li Xuansi, and read it again.
It turned out that this letter was the first year of Wude, in May 618 AD, when Li Yuan was proclaimed emperor, he had already sent Li Xuansi, the son of Li Xianzhi, to Guizhou with a letter to comfort Li Xianzhi and return to the Tang Dynasty.
Li Xianzhi did not shoot his son to death with an arrow like Qu Tutong, but seriously considered Li Yuan's suggestion and promised to secretly lobby the Lingnan chieftain and Li Guangdu, the Yongping county guard of the Sui Dynasty, to return to the Tang Dynasty together.
At that time, Li Yuan heard that Li Xizhi planned to surrender secretly, and felt that this was not majestic enough, so he asked people to write again, saying that you and I are originally of the same clan, and you can't be the same as others, so you should return openly.
So Li Xianzhi worked hard to stick to this Shi'an County, waiting for Li Yuan's rescue, in the eyes of others he was loyal to the imperial court, but few people knew that this imperial court was not the Sui Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty.
At that time, in addition to Xiao Miao's attack on Shi'an County, Lin Shihong, Cao Wuche and other separatist forces also took turns to attack Shi'an County, but they always had no way to take these 3,000 Spartan warriors.
Until Li Bo looked at these materials, Li Xianzhi was still holding on, it was simply a turtle, and no one else could break it.
When Li Bo was reading these materials, Li Shimin and Yuan Susu were also reading them.
Li Bo asked them, "What do you think of this Xiao Mill's rapid attack on the city?" ”
Li Shimin, as a victorious general of that era, expressed his opinion, he believes that although there are many start-up companies in the south, most of them are small forces, the foundation is relatively shallow, the strength is relatively weak, and the news lags behind the Central Plains.
Li Bo nodded, Li Shimin's analysis was just like the standard analysis in history, it was not bad at all.
In fact, Li Shimin's analysis is methodical and basically correct, but because the current situation is special, there is one thing that Li Shimin did not expect.
Li Bo looked at Yuan Susu, this girl used to have different opinions, but there have been some changes recently.
Since untying the knot, Yuan Susu has regained her former liveliness. Seeing Li Bo looking at him, he tilted his head and smiled at Li Bo slightly, and asked, "Does the Immortal need me to give you some guidance?" ”
Li Bo's head is full of black lines, this is the rhythm of not playing the house for three days!
So Li Bo said to Yuan Susu: "Please Yuan Shangxian for the guidance of this mortal, in the future, every fifteenth day of the new year, there must be incense and candles to worship!" ”
Yuan Susu snorted and said to Li Bo: "This immortal is not as knowledgeable as a mortal like you, so it doesn't hurt to tell you, according to these files, this Xiao Milling seems to have changed as if he has changed a person, compared to before he captured Jiangling, whether it is a decision or a person, I feel that his way has changed, but this is just my feeling, and I can't say it specifically." ”
I have to say that this woman, especially Yuan Susu's sixth sense, is very keen.
When Li Shimin heard Yuan Susu say this, his heart moved, and he probably flipped through the file and found that he really felt this way.
In the past, Xiao Miao's military skills were weak except for his name, and it is estimated that the skill points have not been used to upgrade the military part, so weak that even Shen Liusheng looks down on his skills.
But the performance in the past year has made great progress, just like accumulating more than 100 skill points, and smashing them all on the military in one go.
Li Shimin suddenly thought that when Li Bo asked like this in the past, he usually wanted to inspire himself to think about something, could there be something wrong with this Xiao Miao?
Isn't it strange that there was no precedent for this before? And last time, Li Bo specially brought Xiao Miao's portrait to ask himself, it was the same as when Bai Qi possessed Xue Rengao!
So who is the one who possessed Xiao Mo this time?
