Although Li Xuanba is young, his face and performance on weekdays make it easy for people to forget his real age. Moreover, because Li Xuanba is deeply favored by Yang Guang and has a love affair with Princess Yang Ling, he seems to be half of the royal family, which makes people ignore his other identity - the third prince of the Tang Mansion.

"Gongzi invited General Li to Xingyang, of course the Wagang thieves know." Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "However, even if Xingyang has an extra 10,000 troops, how can it be placed in Li Mi's eyes?" The reason why Li Mi did not dare to attack Xingyang was more because Tang Guogong had heavy troops. If it weren't for the Turks pinning down Tang Guogong in Taiyuan, how could Li Mi dare to capture Luokou so boldly? ”

In terms of military strength, Li Mi has hundreds of thousands of troops and is not afraid of Li Yuan at all, but in terms of the ability to march and fight, Li Mi's hundreds of thousands of troops cannot compete with the army under Li Yuan's command at all. If Li Mi attacked Xingyang, as long as Li Xuanba could hold on for a few days, Li Yuan would be able to send troops to help, and in the face of Tang Guogong's cavalry on the plain, Li Mi had no chance of winning.

But this does not mean that Li Xuanba can have no fear.

Gongxian is only a stone's throw away from Xingyang, once Li Xuanba reveals any flaws, then Li Mi can fight left and right with Wang Bodang, and take down Xingyang before Li Yuan sends troops to rescue, this is the difficulty that Li Xuanba has never dared to rush to send troops, and it is also the reason why Luokou was lost, but Yang Guang never ordered Li Xuanba.

"Li Mi sits on the land of several counties, and it will inevitably become stronger day by day, Lin Shihong, a traitor in the south, is not weak, and Li Mi is definitely unwilling to fight with him, so except for Ruyin, Yiyang and other counties, there is no place suitable for expansion." Seeing that everyone was in a trance, Fang Xuanling continued: "Once there is no place to fight in the south, Li Mi can train with peace of mind, and Xingyang's situation will be dangerous. ”

"What does Mr. Fang mean is that people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat?" Qin Qiong felt that Fang Xuanling's words were very disturbing to the morale of the army, and couldn't help but interrupt: "If this is the case, what is the point of Lord Tongshou ordering me to wait for the training?" ”

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Xuanba, Li Xuanba nodded calmly, Fang Xuanling understood, and said: "Danger does not mean that there is no life. The more people who defected to Li Mi, the more grain and grass he needed, and Xingluocang alone could not meet the needs of the Wagang thieves at all, so Li Mi would definitely try to seize more granaries. In the face of the Eastern Capital and Xingyang, General Qin thinks, how will Li Mi choose? ”

"There is no grain and grass in Xingyang, so of course the Wagang thieves will choose to attack Luoyang, the eastern capital." Without waiting for Qin Qiong to answer, Luo Shixin, who still didn't understand what everyone was talking about, finally reacted, and he preemptively said: "According to what Mr. Fang said, since the Wagang thieves will not attack Xingyang, how can Xingyang be in danger?" ”

"Your Majesty can tolerate the loss of Xingluocang, but you can't give up Luoyang." Li Jing said in a deep voice: "Li Mi's capture of Runan, Huai'an and other counties is to prevent His Majesty from returning to the Eastern Capital. King Yue is young, and there are very few ministers who can fight in the court, and he is not the opponent of the Wagang thieves at all. ”

Li Jing's words were very unkind, which made Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and others angry, both of them walked towards Li Jing, Li Xuanba hurriedly said: "What General Li said is very true, what Mr. Fang said is dangerous, and this is exactly the truth, if we lead the army to rescue the eastern capital at that time, then Xingyang will definitely be difficult to hold." ”

Li Xuanba was not angry, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin were naturally even more difficult to lose their temper, they glared at Li Jing and returned to their seats and sat down. Li Jing was unconscious, calm and composed, and didn't even have a grateful look, which made Li Xuanba helpless, thinking of the nickname "Cold-faced Hades".

Jia Yanfu didn't bother to pay attention to the temper of the martial artist, and said respectfully to Fang Xuanling: "Mr. Fang just said that danger may not be lifeless, dare to ask where does life come from?" ”

"Childe has already started to prepare, and when the time comes, Brother Runfu will naturally be able to see it." Fang Xuanling sold a pass, without saying it explicitly, Jia Yanfu looked up at Li Xuanba, who was sitting on the main seat, and no longer mentioned this time.

Although it was to discuss the strategy, in fact, Li Xuanba had already made arrangements with Fang Xuanling, and today he just wanted Fang Xuanling to establish some prestige, and at the same time let the soldiers feel at ease. Now that the goal has been basically achieved, most of the stones in everyone's hearts have fallen, and they have resigned.

Qin Qiong hesitated for a moment and stayed, Fang Xuanling was going to thank Li Xuanba, but seeing this situation, knowing that Qin Qiong had something to say to Li Xuanba, he also arched his hand and exited the lobby.

"What else is going on with Brother Shubao?" Qin Qiong's face was not very good-looking, Li Xuanba stood up, walked to the hall, and said softly.

At this time, there were no outsiders in the hall, and Qin Qiong was not restrained, and said: "Xuanba, you asked me to let Li Mi go at the beginning, did you ever think that there would be such things today?" ”

Li Xuanba shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Li Mi is arrogant and unwilling to live under others, Xuanba originally thought that he would stay in Wagangzhai and compete with Zhai Rang for power, so that the strength of Wagangzhai could be greatly damaged, but now it seems that I made a mistake." ”

"Your thoughts are hard to fathom." Qin Qiong sighed: "However, who would have thought that Li Mi, who was like a lost dog, would be able to become emperor in just one year? After a pause, Qin Qiong asked seriously: "Xuanba, tell me frankly, are the more than 1,000 cavalry you dispatched the vitality in Mr. Fang's mouth?" ”

Li Xuanba did not regard Qin Qiong as a deputy general, and Qin Qiong did not regard Li Xuanba as a high-ranking guard, the two looked at each other for a long time, and in the end, Li Xuanba nodded lightly.

In the face of hundreds of thousands of troops, what can more than a thousand cavalry do? In the eyes of many people, Li Xuanba's idea was very naïve and ridiculous, but Qin Qiong got Li Xuanba's affirmative answer, didn't ask any more questions, arched his hand, turned away, Li Xuanba looked at Qin Qiong's back, and could feel that he was much more relaxed.

In the lobby, Li Xuanba was the only one left, he looked around and sighed deeply.

Tongshou Mansion was originally inhabited by Zhang Xutuo, Zhang Xutuo doesn't like luxury, so Tongshou Mansion is very ordinary, Li Xuanba's sigh is naturally not because of the decoration in the hall, he is lamenting Li Mi's opportunity, lamenting his ignorance.

Li Xuanba was just an ordinary person in his previous life, and he didn't have a deep understanding of history, he only remembered that the trigger for the fall of the Wagang thieves was that Li Mi killed Zhai Rang, but he didn't know that before that, Li Mi had done so many things.

Liang Xiao waited outside the door for a while, and saw that Li Xuanba had not come out for a long time, so he looked at it, then knocked on the door and walked to Li Xuanba's side.

"Childe, it's not too early, it's time for you to rest." Liang Xiao reminded in a low voice.

Li Xuanba came back to his senses, shook his head, looked at the childish Liang Xiao, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, if you are ugly, you should read more, and this son is the one who eats less reading, Liang Xiao, you must not be the same as this son." ”

Liang Xiao touched his cheek, looked at Li Xuanba again, scratched his head and smiled, Li Xuanba guessed what Liang Xiao was thinking, and walked out with a black face.
