Li Yanqing is not afraid of Liu Zhouchen's backlash!

This is a smart man who knows how to protect himself. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 After Yu Wenyou's failed assassination of Yang Jian, he firmly hugged the thighs of the Sui clan relatives, and even became Yang Qing's most trusted confidant. Over the years, Liu Zhouchen has not only not shown any flaws, but has lived a very nourishing life. With such a person, Li Yanqing believes that he can see the situation clearly and know how to make a choice.

Liu Zhouchen didn't want to go over to inform, but in the end, he resisted the urge to inform.

Judging from Li Yanqing's means of tying him up to Donglin Lake unknowingly today, this Xingyang county is full of his ears and eyes.

You must know that in the streets and alleys of Xingyang County, there are now two or three hundred rental sedan chairs.

Even if all of them are carried by two people, that is to say, in the entire Xingyang County, Li Yanqing has at least 600 ears and eyes. Of these 600 ears and eyes, how many are really and how many are fake? Who can tell the difference? If they were to be forcibly arrested, the end result would likely be to provoke a riot throughout Xingyang County. God knows how many landless people are waiting there for the distribution of a rental sedan chair?

Besides, where is the evidence?

Li Yanqing can deny it outright, and when the time comes, he Liu Zhouchen will be even more troublesome.

Duoduo, that's the princess of the wing. There is a household registration in Chengdu County, and the dignified Sui room is canonized. After arresting Duoduo, Yang Guang had to worry about the turmoil in Minshu. At such a time, who dares to touch it, and who can touch it?

Liu Zhouchen can live so nourishingly because he can see the form clearly......

Therefore, Liu Zhouchen finally decided to keep his mouth shut. Ventilation message? OK! If the form is really bad, I'll report it!

Liu Zhouchen made up his mind, and as usual, continued to enter and leave the county guard's mansion.

At the same time, after Li Yanqing waited in Xingyang County for two days, Yang Qing finally summoned him and handed over the half of the tiger talisman to Li Yanqing.

As a result, Yan Qing officially took over the authority of Henan's ambassador to arrest the governor of the four counties and fifty-two counties. There is no need to make a report, you can make your own decisions.

Hugh wants to underestimate the four words 'self-determination', with these four words, Li Yanqing no longer has anyone to support in military affairs.

After obtaining the complete Tiger Talisman, Yan Qing immediately returned to Gong County.

He set up the mansion of the arrest envoy in Luokoucang, and at the first time, recruited soldiers.

The autumn harvest is about to begin, and Yan Qing does not dare to waste manpower.

Therefore, on the conscription order, Li Yanqing noted: Those who are under 20 years old will not be recruited, those who are over 40 years old will not be recruited, those who are over 40 years old will not be recruited, those who are married for less than one year will not be recruited, those who are disabled will not be recruited, and those who are weak and sick will not be recruited......

The conscription order can be said to be full of surnames, with a total of nine non-recruits and ten non-collections.

So much so that before Li Yanqing's conscription order was issued, Xue Shui and others were speechless. With such a strict screening, how many soldiers can be recruited?

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "Those I ask for can fight and win."

What about the hundreds of thousands of horses in Wagang, but a rabble. I am guarding Xingyang, 20,000 is enough, why do I need to use too much people's power to make the people panic? ”

However, it was such a strict selection that in mid-June, 15,000 people were recruited.

The 8,000 prisoners of war at Heishi Pass have also been screened to a certain extent, leaving as many as 5,000 people. The rest were sentenced to hard work and were responsible for repairing the cities of Heishi Pass and Tiger Prison Pass. 20,000 elite soldiers, plus 2,000 soldiers in the Yingyang Mansion, a total of 22,000 people.

Looking at the roster in his hand, Li Yanqing nodded slightly.

At the end of June, the Right Xiaowei Mansion issued an edict and ordered Du Ruhui to be the general of the Eagle Strike Lang of the Black Stone Mansion.

Mai Zizhong was transferred to Qinzhou and served as the protector of Qinzhou. Luo Shixin was promoted to the general of the Black Stone Mansion, and Wang Fubao was appointed as the soldier of the Black Stone Mansion. Yao Yi, on the other hand, was named the governor of Heishi Prefecture, and consisted of six regiments and eighteen brigades, all of which were under the jurisdiction of the Henan Arrest Ambassador, and obeyed the dispatch of the arrest envoy.

In the same month, Li Yanqing once again went to the Eastern Capital and asked Xiao Huaijing to be the deputy envoy of the Imperial Palace.

It is divided into eight battalions and eight hussars. They are Xiong Kuohai, Kan Leng, Zheng Dabiao, Luo Shixin, Wang Fubao, Xin Shijie, Zheng Shanbao, and Cui Wanli.

Among them, Xin Shijie is Xin Wenli's nephew, Zheng Shanbao is Zheng Shanguo's nephew, and Cui Wanli is a member of the Cui clan in Guancheng.

Yang Qing did not object to such an arrangement.

Xin Shijie, Zheng Shanbao, and Cui Wanli were all recommended by Yang Qing, and Li Yanqing had no intention of refusing.

Although five of the eight hussars belonged to Li Yanqing's line, Yang Qing was able to occupy the three battalions, which could be regarded as satisfying. In addition, Li Yanqing did not set up the arrest envoy in Xingyang County, indicating that he had no intention of competing with Yang Qing for control of Xingyang, which made Yang Qing very satisfied.

Therefore, Yang Qing did not set up any obstacles, and Yang Tong, the king of Yue, allowed it.

Subsequently, Xin Wenli was ordered to go out of the tiger prison, which made Yang Qing gain some comfort. The hostility towards Li Yanqing seems to have decreased a lot.

******

The conscription in Xingyang is going on vigorously.

And Li Mi, who was stationed in Kaifeng, was in hesitation.

The reason for the hesitation stems from a letter. In mid-May, Li Mi received a letter from Liangfu Mountain from a man named Xu Hongkedao.

The letter said: If there is chaos today, it is the time for heroes to establish meritorious deeds.

Mi Gong adhered to the will of heaven and raised troops against the Sui, which was the destiny of heaven. However, Mi Gong used troops before, but he was too cautious. Although the eastern capital is important, it is not easy to take it. Gong Ke still remembers, did you offer three strategies to Yang Gong back then? The upper strategy is to take Zhuojun, the middle strategy is to occupy Guanzhong, and the next strategy is to capture Luoyang.

Since Mi Gong was able to offer such a clever plan back then, why did he give up the best strategy and take the next one now?

The public can perceive how similar the situation today is to the situation when Yang Gong raised his army. The strength of the public, especially Yang Gong, why not abandon Luoyang, go to Jianghuai, and take Jiangdu directly? With the appeal of the secret public, as long as the banner is displayed, the heroes of all walks of life in Jianghuai will surely take refuge one after another. When the time comes, after capturing Jiangdu, Gong will be the hero of the world. There are two capitals in the east and west, but the child is in charge, how can he serve the public when the time comes?

Xu Hongke talked eloquently in the letter, which made Li Mi couldn't help but praise him greatly.

So he immediately sent people to Liangfu Mountain and tried to invite Xu Hongke to come. But when Li Mi's people arrived at Liangfu Mountain, the locals didn't know that there was such a person as Xu Hongke. Although Xu Hongke was not invited, Li Mi's appreciation for him did not change.

It's just that......

If you don't do this position, you can't understand why Yang Xuangan insisted on attacking Luoyang's difficulties back then.

The sergeants are all children of the Kanto region, and it is inevitable that they have a local complex. Although Meng Rang and others took refuge in Li Mi, they each retained their strength. Want them to stay away from their homeland and go south to Jiangdu? Li Mi felt that if he said that after going out, Meng Rang and these people would definitely choose to leave immediately.

After all, it's a rabble!

Li Mi was in a dilemma.

He had tried several times in private, but the answers he received were not satisfactory to him.

Obviously, about seventy percent of the generals of the Wagang Army did not want to leave Shandong, but went to Jiangnan to capture Jiangdu. If Li Mi forcibly gave the order, the Wagang army would inevitably face a situation of fragmentation. Li Mi was a little at a loss for this. Come to think of it, Yang Xuangan was in the same situation as he is now. He must also know the benefits of capturing Zhuojun, but he can't make his own decisions.

This trick can be called a 'decapitation' scheme.

As long as Yang Guang is killed, the Sui Chamber will be destroyed.

However, this move is extremely risky. If it fails, the Wagang army will face annihilation......

Yang Gong, if it is your choice now, how should you choose?

The 'Yang Gong' in Li Mi's heart is not Yang Xuangan, but Yang Su, the Duke of Chu. Thinking of the headache, Li Mi couldn't help but close his eyes.

"King Wei, just now the patrol soldiers captured a merchant, this person claimed to be the king's old friend, and said that there was something important to report to the king."

Outside the house, a burly and sturdy young man whispered.

The young man was nine feet tall, and he was born as strong as a black iron tower. He is Li Mi's personal bodyguard, named Cai Jiande. In the Wagang Army, it is not very famous. But this person is one of the two people that Li Mi trusts very much. The other one is one of the four hussars of the inner army, Wang Bodang, the hussar general of the Lianshan battalion. When Zhai Rang was killed, it was Cai Jiande who cut off Zhai Rang's head with a knife.

"Old friends?"

Li Mi put down the scroll in his hand and walked out of the room with a frown.

"Bring him here."

Cai Jiande bowed down and left in a hurry.

After a while, I saw him come to Li Mi with a middle-aged man dressed as a small vendor.

It seems that the age of the person is about forty years old. It's very upright, but it's also very ordinary, the kind of master who can't find a shadow when he throws it into the pile. However, with a hint of bookishness, and the advance and retreat are quite polite, which is not ordinary.

"Who are you who dare to pretend to be a lonely old man?"

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, "In Xia Wang Su, a disciple of the Taiyuan Wang family."

When the king was still studying, he had close contacts with his younger brothers, so he also had a relationship with the king. ”

Li Mi pointed at Wang Su, and patted his forehead after a while, "I remembered, you are Brother Shijie." ”

"The king is really powerful!"

"Hurry up, please take a seat...... Brother Shijie, it has been ten years in a flash. If it weren't for the eldest brother mentioning it, Gu Guo would have really forgotten his old friend. Forgiveness of sins, forgiveness of sins. ”

Cai Jiande knew the two, so he retreated to the door and stood with his hands down.

"Shijie, where are you now? How is Brother Wang Tongxian now? I haven't heard of him in years. ”

"Tong is under the official account of the Tang State as a record room."

Li Mi's heart moved, and he stared at Wang Sudao: "What, Shijie is here today on Li Yuan's orders?"

Didn't he raise troops in Taiyuan? also vowed to go to Jiangdu to save the driver...... Hehe, didn't he ask Shijie to come over and borrow the way? ”

After Li Yuan raised his army, he never raised a counter-flag.

Externally, he declared that he wanted to go to Jiangdu, but in fact, not many people would believe it.

To cross the river capital, you must pass through Li Mi's territory. So Li Mi used this to be sarcastic, which means that since you Li Yuan want to rebel, why do you have to hide it?

Wang Su smiled, "The king misunderstood, although Wang Tong served under the Tang State Prince's account, Su was not serving Li Yuan. ”

Shixuan Gate Valve, rarely put all his eggs in one basket to ensure that the family flourished.

Li Mi will not feel strange to this kind of thing, a family may invest in several strengths, so as not to be wiped out in the end.

So he smiled and asked, "What is Shijie doing now?" ”

"It's not a secret, Su Nai contributed to his family."

This family, that is, the Taiyuan Wang family.

Li Mi didn't react at first, but soon, he heard the clue.

"Are you Wang Shichong's man?"

"The king is really clever......

Li Mi's face turned cold, and he sneered: "The king is an important minister of the court, and Li Mi is just an anti-king now. Brother Shijie, you are coming today, aren't you afraid of being reported? ”

Wang Su laughed, "Su is just a white body, who cares about me?"

The king, with all due respect, I am frank and blunt, the king is now in danger of killing, and he has come here only to save the king's life. ”

This is a common tactic used by lobbyists to take control of the conversation by first alarmisting and then making the other person nervous. If you are a bystander, you may feel frightened by this. But who is Li Mi? This guy has also experienced ups and downs, what kind of big scene has he never seen?

So he smiled coldly, "Lonely's surname doesn't need to worry about the eldest brother." ”

In those words, it was already very cold.

The second skill of this lobbyist is fully manifested at this time. Be thick-skinned! Wang Su didn't care about Li Mi's coldness, and said with a smile: "I know that the king is destined by heaven and has the protection of heaven. But the question is, the king is now facing a dangerous opponent, hasn't the king been aware of it? This person can be described as the king's nemesis, if you don't get rid of this person, the king's career may not be guaranteed. ”

Li Mi's eyes narrowed, and his gaze was sharp and condensed.

"You mean, what about Li Yanqing?"

"Not bad!"

Wang Sudao: "The king of Heishiguan lost, and Li Yanqing took advantage of the situation to get the post of ambassador of Henan. I also know that the king is extremely talented, but Li Yanqing should not be underestimated. He is different from Zhang Xutuo, not only is he a good learner, but he is even more powerful in using soldiers and winning people's hearts. Just look at the conscription order he set up nine without recruiting and ten without receiving, but the people of Xingyang are still enthusiastically signing up, which can be seen.

Henan Arrest Ambassador, Governor of Four Counties and Fifty-two Counties.

Did the king ever think about how many of the four counties and fifty-two counties he supervised were now in the hands of the king? I'm sure that once he Li Yanqing finishes his preparations, he will definitely raise troops to recapture. That Li Yanqing is deceitful and cunning. There are countless strategists under his command, and there are countless more fierce generals. If he coerced Xingyang to raise the power of the county and compete with the king, did the king ever think about what would happen? ”

Li Mi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but his face was still very calm.

"If he dares to come, I will let him bleed and die for thousands of miles."

This sentence was said in a fierce voice, but Wang Su nodded again and again.

"Compared with the king, Li Yanqing is a little tender after all, and it is inevitable that the king will win. But the question is, how can the king win? Is it a pyrrhic victory, or a big victory? ”

"This ......"

Li Mi's mind was alive.

He was vaguely aware of Wang Su's intention. It's just that before Wang Su didn't say the final answer, Li Mi categorically wouldn't speak.

"Xingman is my brother, but he has no ill will towards the king.

Previously, when the king clashed at the Black Stone Pass, Xingman had been standing still. Unexpectedly, the king pointed the finger at him, causing him to return with a crushing defeat in the Shizi River. He was also in a hurry, so he wanted to seize Yangcheng County. In fact, the purpose is just to save face. ”

The line is full, which is Wang Shichong's expression.

Li Mi cursed in his heart: He, Wang Shichong, has no malice?

Even children can see that the snipe and the clam are fighting, and the fisherman is profitable, how can they hide it from me? If I hadn't attacked him first, when Li Yanqing and I were both defeated, that guy would have chased me and beat me hard. Do you think I'm a three-year-old naughty boy?

But I think so in my heart, but I can't show it on my face.

"Brother Shijie, you said that, but it was true that I was a little suspicious at the time......"

Wang Su said: "Xingman has always respected the king, but each is his own master and cannot be close.

I don't hide it from the king, Brother Xingman's current story is very sad, I think you know some of it. You have now defeated him in the Shizihe, and then your Uncle Qin, General Qin, has been defeated twice. Although the court didn't say anything, it was in a full situation......

Now, the Eastern Capital has been transferred from Chang'an to Dugu Wudu, the general of Zuotunwei, to serve as the governor of Henan, and you should have heard some rumors. ”

Li Mi's face was expressionless, and he said, "I know about this." ”

"Dugu Wudu is the clan of Queen Dugu, and he is loyal to the Sui family.

He hated the king to the core, and sooner or later he would replace him. Once that time comes, Dugu Wudu and Li Yanqing join forces, and tilt the power of Dongdu and Xingyang County, does the king think he can win? Both of them are resourceful, and when the time comes, the pressure on the king will increase dramatically. ”

I have to say that Wang Su is a qualified lobbyist.

He immediately hit Li Mi's weakness, which made Li Mi change color.

One Li Yanqing is enough to give him a headache, and if you add a Dugu Wudu, it is indeed a very terrible thing.

"Brother Shijie, you just tell me bluntly, what does Wang Xingman want."

Wang Su said with a smile: "Actually, Xingman just wants to keep the post of staying in Luoyang, please ask the king to raise his noble hand and let him go." ”

"Then how do you let him go?"

"Just let go of Yangcheng County!"

Li Mi couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Brother Shijie, are you joking with me?" ”

"As long as the king can let out of Yangcheng County, it can be guaranteed that Li Yanqing will be dragged in Heishi Pass. When the time comes, the king will take advantage of the situation to attack and seize the tiger prison.

Now the Tiger Prison guard will be Xin Wenli, Xin Shixiong's nephew. Although this person is quite capable, he must be more willing to face Xin Wenli than Li Yanqing, right? Xingman said that he would try to drag Li Yanqing in Heishi Pass, whether he could defeat the tiger prison or not, it only depends on the king's means. ”

Li Mi, gasped.

He had to admit that Wang Su had spoken his mind again.

Li Mi's longing for Xingyang County has reached a level where he can't wait. As long as he captures Xingyang County, then he can redeem the reputation he had lost earlier and revive the prestige of the Wagang Army. At that time, he could not only get a large number of soldiers, but also a large number of baggage. Although Li Yanqing is still in Xingyang, after losing the barrier of the Tiger Prison Pass, he is equivalent to a tiger falling into Pingyang.

"But in this way, sooner or later, everyone will have to fight each other."

Wang Su smiled: "So what's the matter? Everyone is their own lord, and if the king is really victorious over the fullness, I will persuade him to submit to the king. ”

"Brother Shijie, is this true?"

"Wang Su is absolutely not lying."

Li Mi subconsciously got up and wandered around the room.

After about half a pillar of incense, he finally made up his mind, "Brother Shijie's affection is alone...... However, to cooperate with Wang Shichong, there is one more condition for Lonely. As long as Wang Shichong agrees to this condition, Gu can leave Yangcheng County, and there is no lie. ”

Wang Su leaned over, "I want to hear it!" ”
