Li Xuanba's worries were not unreasonable, in order to verify his thoughts, he sent someone to send the list and Zhang Xutuo's excerpt of the guilty plea to Jiangdu, but he himself did not say a word.

Now that he was appointed as General Huwei, Li Xuanba naturally couldn't be as idle as before, and with the help of Qin Qiong, he slowly became familiar with how to lead an army. Although Li Xuanba is very young, because of his performance this time, the soldiers did not fail to admire him.

The power of the Wagang thieves gradually increased, Zhang Xutuo under the persuasion of Li Xuanba, and finally began to recruit soldiers, and the people were grateful for Zhang Xutuo's protection, and hundreds of people came to sign up for the army every day. The big families in Xingyang City understand the truth that one is prosperous and one is lost, and Zhang Xutuo is famous, and the materials sent to the army have never been broken.

Zhang Xutuo's army is recovering, but there has been a dispute in Wagang Village. put on such a big battle, but Zhang Xutuo was still alive, which made Zhai Rang feel very uncomfortable. However, after all, he defeated Zhang Xutuo for the first time, and even almost killed him, which made Zhai Rang unable to blame Li Mi.

When Li Mi visited Zhai Rang, Zhai Rang's face was still a little ugly.

"I thought that my 30,000-strong army was scared back by a thousand cavalry." After many days, Zhai Rang finally learned that the reinforcements that night were only more than 1,000 cavalry led by Qin Qiong, he retreated left and right, and said with annoyance: "It's really a failure." ”

"Zhang Xutuo is still alive, and Mi is not worried." After a few days of recuperation, Li Mi had recovered as before, and he answered: "Zhang Xutuo led the army to fight, which shows that he did not see through our strategy, since he can defeat him once, then he can naturally defeat him a second time." ”

"Eat a trench, grow a wisdom, Zhang Xutuo suffered a big loss this time, how can he be tricked in the future." Zhai Rang frowned and said, "Did Mr. underestimate Zhang Xutuo too much?" ”

Li Mi smiled slightly and said, "Gong Zhai, it's not that Li Mi underestimates Zhang Xutuo, but Zhang Xutuo's nature is like this. He has always wanted to wipe out the rebels in the world, how can he be willing to be pinned down by us in Xingyang County? As long as we ask for war, Zhang Xutuo will inevitably go out of the city to fight. It's just"

"Just what?" When Zhai Rang heard that there was still a chance to defeat Zhang Xutuo, he was overjoyed, but when he heard the word "just", he hurriedly asked.

"The enemy general Qin Shubao led a thousand horsemen to help, and pretended that there were reinforcements behind him, so that our army had to temporarily avoid the edge." Li Mi pondered for a moment and said, "What Mi has been worried about is the person who came up with this response. ”

Although Li Xuanba has been in the army for several months, he has never really been on the battlefield, and the Wagang thieves don't even know about Li Xuanba's existence.

"At this time, Xingyang is heavily guarded, and it is difficult to sneak in quietly, even if the person you are talking about really exists, I am afraid that there is no way to confirm his identity." Zhai Rang carefully recalled the situation at that time, and was reminded by Li Mi, and instantly understood what Li Mi meant.

"It is precisely because of this that it is difficult to sleep and eat." Li Mi sighed: "Now that there is a shortage of grain and grass in the village, it is imperative to capture Xingyang, but if there is no way to find out that person, I am not completely sure." ”

"Xingyang City is the last line of defense in the Eastern Capital, and it is not easy to capture it." Zhai Rang frowned and said, "Grain and grass are important, but the lives of the brothers are even more important, so I can't take any more risks." ”

"Zhai Gong is benevolent." Li Mi complimented him and said, "Since Gong Zhai is unwilling to capture Xingyang County for the time being, the top priority should be to train the troops. ”

The combat strength of the Wagang Army, Zhai Rang naturally knew it, he nodded and said, "What Mr. said is very true. ”

"Although Zhang Xutuo was not left this time, it was not for nothing." Li Mi's proposal was not completely successful, in order to prevent Zhai Rang from despising it, he picked up the thing that had been on the table, sent it to Zhai Rang, and said: "The war horses of the imperial court are a little strange, and after Jean escaped, he asked people to look around for the war horses they escaped, and finally found one, and found such a thing on the horse's hooves. ”

Zhai Rang opened the cloth and saw the horseshoe. He looked at it several times, but he didn't understand the use of the horseshoe, and wondered, "What is the use of this thing?" ”

"Nail this thing to the horse's hooves, and the war horse will not be affected by the road." Li Mi explained: "The war horse that Zhai Gong bought from the Turks should be delivered soon, and Mi thought that the war horse should be equipped with this thing. ”

Li Xuanba originally wanted to use the horseshoe as a secret weapon, but when he heard that Li Yuan was fighting against the Turks, he couldn't bear it, so he still sent a batch of them over. He knew in his heart that as long as the horseshoe was used on the battlefield, it would be no secret, so he simply used the remaining horseshoes on the war horses in Zhang Xutuo's army.

However, Li Xuanba didn't expect that Li Mi was so thoughtful and discovered the existence of the horseshoe so quickly.

"Sir thinks it's useful, just send someone to build it." Zhai Rang smiled and said, "Rang is a rough man, and his knowledge is naturally not as good as Mr. ”

Li Mi politely said a few words, and then led the topic elsewhere.

Jiangdu is far away from Xingyang, but day and night, the recital sent by Li Xuanba was quickly presented to Yang Guang. The fold is Zhang Xutuo's excerpt of asking for sin, as for what is written in it, Li Xuanba actually doesn't know.

"I really didn't expect Xuanba to grow so fast." After reading the recital, Yang Guang not only did not get angry, but said with a smile: "Zhang Xutuo has been fighting for many years and has not tasted defeat, and now the Wagang thief has sounded a warning bell for him, so it is good that he can reflect on it." ”

At this time, he had already retired from the early dynasty, and there were only a few people in the Jiangdu Palace.

"Although General Zhang claimed to have been defeated, the losses of the Wagang thieves were greater." Pei Yun smiled and said: "This is obviously a victory, but General Zhang is not satisfied, he is really stubborn." ”

"You, you'll say nice things to coax me." Yang Guang scolded with a smile, turned his head to Li Quanzhi and said: "The bereavement of the fallen soldiers should be in accordance with the previous rules, and you can send someone to send this booklet to the household department." ”

Li Quanzhi responded respectfully and took the booklet.

"What's going on over there with Chen Ling?" Zhang Xutuo's plea, Yang Guang did not take it to heart, but instead cared about the things around him.

"Some small groups of thieves, the right guard general personally led the troops, and they are naturally invincible." Pei Han replied with a smile: "Du Yangzhou has been subdued, although Shen Mi has escaped, but he is just a lost dog, Your Majesty does not need to take it to heart." ”

When Yuwen Chengdu heard this, his brows furrowed. Du Yangzhou, Shen Mi and the two of them made trouble in the East China Sea, and the number of people reached tens of thousands, but they didn't expect that they were just a small group of thieves in Pei Yun's mouth.

Yang Guang responded casually and didn't ask any more. After the discussion was completed, Yang Guang dismissed everyone and left Yuwen Chengdu alone.

"You're not young anymore, and your anger is still on your face." Yuwen Chengdu's previous expression naturally did not escape Yang Guang's eyes, he shook his head and said: "Chen Ling has defeated Li Zitong, Zuo Caixiang, and Du Fuwei of Tunbing Liuhe, do you think I really don't know what Chen Ling is doing?" ”

Yuwen Chengdu's face turned red and said, "Chengdu doesn't dare to question Your Majesty." It's just that General Chen has worked hard and made great achievements, but Master Pei has deceived him, as a military general, Chengdu is really unbearable. ”

"The time has not yet come, so let him go." Yang Guang chuckled lightly and said, "If it weren't for Xu Guogong's unwellness, I really wanted to send you out." Then, his face became a little gloomy, and he sighed: "Although I was prepared, I didn't expect the south to be in chaos to this extent. ”

Yuwen Chengdu lowered his head, not knowing how to respond.

When he was in Luoyang, Yuwenshu had been pretending to be sick and couldn't go to court, but now when he arrived in Jiangdu, Yuwenshu was really sick.

But even if Yuwenshu is not sick, Yuwen Chengdu will not leave Yang Guang's side, because before leaving Luoyang, Li Xuanba said to him: "The world is in turmoil, since you accompany the southern tour, you should always accompany Your Majesty, no matter how many traitors there are in the world, you must also guard Your Majesty's side and never leave an inch." ”

Yuwen Chengdu felt a little strange, obviously Li Xuanba had lost all his force, why did he listen to him more than before?
