Chapter 144: Countermeasures (I)
Li Mi called the emperor and Pei Renji surrendered, these two things happened too suddenly, whether it was Yang Tong, the king of Yue in the eastern capital, or Yang Guang in the Jiangdu, they didn't have time to react. After Li Mi stabilized the city defense of Luokou, Yang Guangqi used Zhang Xutuo's edict to send it to Luoyang, but unfortunately the general trend has gone, and in the face of more powerful Wagang thieves, Zhang Xutuo also has no skills.
What is even more worrying is that after Li Mi gained power, he sent Fang Yanzao to lead his troops to the east to capture the city, take Anlu, Runan, Huai'an, Jiyang and other counties, and completely cut off the passage between Luoyang and Jiangdu.
The Wagang thieves were like a bamboo, giving Li Mi great confidence to overthrow Yang Guang's tyranny, and soon, a piece of paper spread from Luokou to the north and south of the river.
"The bamboo of the South Mountain, the book is endless; The waves of the East China Sea are broken, and the evil is inexhaustible. Li Xuanba chewed it twice, felt a little familiar, and suddenly realized that this may be the origin of the difficult book. Thinking of this, Li Xuanba couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "This ancestor Junyan's literary brilliance is really outstanding. ”
"This person is erudite and strong-remembered, and he is quite famous, but it is a pity that the first emperor and His Majesty are disgusted with him and have not been reused." Fang Xuanling sighed regretfully, seemed to think of himself, and said: "It's not strange that his inscription slanders Your Majesty so much. ”
"If it weren't for seeing this article, Xuanba really didn't know that His Majesty had such a big mistake." Li Xuanba crumpled the paper with the inscription in a ball, threw it on the ground, and sneered.
"Lord Tongshou, it's all this time, it's a shame that you can still laugh." Jia Yanfu looked nervous and said: "The counties of Henan have been lost, Xingyang has been surrounded by Li Mi, and since then there has been no food and grass reinforcements, and the people in the county are panicking, we should think about how to deal with it, and we can't sit still." ”
Jia Yanfu is the righteous son of Jia Wuben, who is not good at martial arts, but he is extremely intelligent and meticulous, and has been responsible for many matters such as grain and grass in Xingyang, and there has been almost no mistake.
"Brother Runfu, don't worry." Li Xuanba's face was pale, and in the face of Jia Yanfu, who was busy all day, he was a little embarrassed and said: "I invited you to come here today just to discuss countermeasures. ”
Xingyang has become a lonely city, with only more than 20,000 soldiers in the city, how can it face the rebels like a flood?
"Since Li Mi dares to capture Xingluocang alone, he must have a back hand to ensure that the prince does not dare to leave Xingyang." Fang Xuanling, as a strategist, took the lead in saying: "Uncle Wang is guarding Dongjun and eyeing Xingyang, once Gongzi sends troops, Wagang thieves can attack Xingyang without scruples. ”
The situation has developed to the point where it is today, Li Mi's intentions are sinister, and the few people present probably understand it, as soon as Fang Xuanling's voice fell, everyone sighed softly.
"It stands to reason that Li Mi occupied Gong County, and he should first join forces with the Wagang thieves in the East County to capture Xingyang, but he chose to attack Runan, Huai'an and other counties, which shows that he is afraid." After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, he glanced at Li Xuanba, only to see that Li Xuanba seemed to be unaware of it, and was bowing his head in contemplation, so he continued: "Runan, Huai'an and other counties have already begun to be turbulent, and it is expected that Fang Yanzao can easily capture these counties. ”
"Sir, let's just say what you think." Li Xuanba coughed lightly and said, "Compared with the current situation, they are more concerned about how Xingyang should deal with itself. ”
Fang Xuanling glanced at everyone, and found that except for Jia Yanfu, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and others were all confused, and said with a smile: "Do you think, why didn't Li Mi attack Xingyang?" Although he was asking everyone, his eyes moved to Jia Yanfu.
Jia Yunfu was not pretentious, got up and replied: "Although Li Mi claims to be hundreds of thousands of people, most of them are for the grain of Xingluocang, those people are not loyal to Li Mi, once Li Mi loses the battle, it will definitely cause changes in people's hearts, so he will give up Xingyang and attack Runan counties instead." ”
"I see." Luo Shixin said at the top of his voice: "In this way, Li Mi has hundreds of thousands of people, but he is still afraid of us and others. ”
"Definitely." Jia Yanfu shook his head and said, "Li Mi is not afraid, but he just doesn't dare to take risks. After a pause, he continued: "But with the passage of time and the gradual strengthening of Li Mi, it is easy for people's hearts to truly belong to him, and at that time, even if Xingyang is ironclad, it will be impossible to hold on. ”
Speaking of this, everyone's faces became ugly, and even Li Jing's always calm and cold face showed a look of deep worry. But Li Xuanba and Fang Xuanling glanced at each other and smiled slightly. No matter what era it is, talent is extremely important, and Jia Yanfu can have such an insight, which is a good thing for Xingyang and Li Xuanba.
"What can Brother Runfu do?" Li Xuanba put away his smile and asked calmly.
"Lord Tongshou is a wise man, and naturally knows the principle of striking a stone with an egg." Jia Yanfu leaned over slightly and said bluntly: "The Li thief is powerful, and he can't be shaken, so he can only avoid his edge for the time being, and slowly try to figure it out."
"How?" Li Xuanba leaned forward, looking very interested, and asked, "If you want to avoid its edge, how can you avoid it?" ”
"It's a matter of time before Xingyang is not guaranteed, and Yan Fu feels that there are three ways for Lord Tongshou to go." Jia Yanfu replied: "The first way, the lord abandons Xingyang and leads the army back to the eastern capital, so that the strength of Luoyang can be increased and the Jiangshan Sheji can be protected; On the second way, the adults pretended to cling to the Li thief, and when the time was ripe, they would join forces to kill him; The third way, adults and the people of Xingyang live and die together, with the full name of the festival. ”
After hearing the last road, Li Xuanba was startled, and quickly shook his head, which made everyone smile, which can be regarded as relieving the depressing atmosphere in the hall.
Li Xuanba was unwilling to take the three roads that Jia Yanfu said, he frowned, raised his head and said to everyone: "Your Majesty and General Zhang handed over Xingyang County to Xuanba, and Xuanba swore to protect the people of Xingyang, so it is impossible for me to abandon the people of Xingyang and flee back to Luoyang." ”
"Defect to Li Mi, not to mention whether the son can survive or not." Fang Xuanling then denied: "Even if Li Mi gave Gongzi an official and a half-position in order to show his benevolence, who is Li Mi, and how can he give others the opportunity to assassinate him?" The second path seems to be the most reasonable, but it doesn't work. ”
Neither path worked, so there was only a third way, and the third path was a dead end, and the atmosphere in the hall became strange again.
The reason why it is called weird is because the faces of all the people in the hall are different, some are calm, some are sad, some are resolute, some are fierce, and some are smiling.
Jia Yanfu's suggestions were all denied, but he didn't feel frustrated, so when he found that Li Xuanba's face was calm and Fang Xuanling had a smile on the corner of his mouth, he opened his mouth and said: "It's just Yanfu's foolish opinion, I don't know what Brother Xuanling's plan is?" ”
Fang Xuanling stood up, arched his hand, and said, "Brother Yanfu is polite. After a pause, he continued: "Brother Yanfu thinks that Li Mi doesn't attack Xingyang just because he doesn't dare to take risks, but have you ever thought that Li Mi is not even afraid of rebellion, so how could he give up because he was worried about being frustrated in Xingyang? ”
Jia Yanfu was reminded and suddenly realized, Li Jing looked at Li Xuanba and understood, and the rest of the people still looked puzzled, waiting for Fang Xuanling to continue.
