On October 26, Li Mibing arrived in Chenliu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, in addition to Chen Liu's upper and lower officials, there was also unbelievable news that greeted him: Kaifeng was captured!

Not only Kaifeng, but also Wei and Xinzheng also lost one after another......

"Who captured Kaifeng?"

Li Mi subconsciously thought of Li Yanqing.

In fact, Kaifeng was lost, and it seems that there is no other candidate except Li Yanqing. Wang Shichong is far away in the eastern capital, and if he wants to capture Kaifeng, he needs to take Yanshi first, and then Xingyang. Or cross the Biling Mountains and seize Yangcheng County, Xinzheng County and Weishi County, and then the troops can come to Kaifeng City.

This is obviously unlikely!

Not to mention the midwinter time, the mountain is covered by heavy snow, and the danger is huge when the mountain is attacked.

Even if he can attack across the mountains, Wang Shichong must beware of Li Yanqing, lest Yanqing copy his back road and cut off his grain route. If this is the case, it is better to directly attack Xingyang County. But the question is, does Wang Shichong have this ability?

It's not Wang Shichong, then it's only Li Yanqing.

But Li Yanqing seems to be still in Jijun now, and he is fighting with Dou Jiande.

"Where is Li Yanqing now?"

"Mi Gong, according to the detailed report, Li Yanqing seems to be still in Ji County now."

"Indeed?"

"Two days ago, the news came from Ji County, saying that someone saw Li Yanqing personally boarding the car to command, capturing Yaocheng, and forcing the Yongji Canal to force Hou Junji to give up the attack on Neihuang and retreat to the front line of Fanshui to camp."

Two days ago......

Kaifeng was captured eight days ago, and Li Yanqing was still in Jijun.

From Jijun to Kaifeng, you need to cross the river. Although the Yellow River is frozen, it has snowed heavily for days, and it is obviously impossible for Li Yanqing to rush from Jijun to Kaifeng. Because from Jijun to Kaifeng, in a straight line, the road belongs to the control of the Wagang army. If Li Yanqing wants to think of Kaifeng, he must go to Hanoi and go around the Tiger Prison to arrive. In this way, it is impossible to rush to Kaifeng without a single day of seven or eight.

A big stone in Li Mi's heart was immediately put back in his stomach.

I don't know when it started, Li Yanqing seems to have become Li Mi's nightmare. Don't look at Li Miping's vows, it seems that no one is afraid, but when he really asks him to deal with Li Yanqing, he will be scared again. After all, in the confrontation with Yanqing, Li Mi did not take advantage of any substantive surname. On the contrary, he lost his troops and generals, and even ceded the town in exchange for peace with Li Yanqing.

Now, Li Yanqing is not in Kaifeng!

"Who is that, the capture of Kaifeng?"

"Mi Gong, the one who captured Kaifeng is Xin Wenli, the general of Yingze Yingyanglang."

"Xin Wenli?"

"It's this person...... After he captured Kaifeng, he immediately used the tiger charm to transfer the soldiers and horses of Weishi County, and as a result, Guancheng Ying Yanglang took the opportunity to capture Weishi County. Cui Wanli, a hussar general under the command of the Henan Crusade Ambassador, ambushed the soldiers and horses of Weishi County on the way, and wiped out all the reinforcements of Weishi County. Subsequently, Zheng, Pan, Cui, and Lu successively lobbied the new Zheng guard general Li Yude, saying that Li Yude surrendered to Xinzheng and surrendered. ”

"In other words, this battle against Kaifeng was done by the four families of Zheng Pan and Cuilu?"

Li Mi was puzzled.

He and Xingyang Shixuan have also been secretly communicating with each other and contacting each other through unknown ways.

Even if Zheng Xiaoqing was killed, it did not affect his relationship with the four families in Xingyang. For Shi Xuan, not putting all their eggs in one basket is their way of survival. Even if there will be a situation of cannibalism because of this, as long as it is conducive to the interests of the family, they will be willing. It's just that this time the four families suddenly attacked, which caught Li Mi off guard, and he didn't know the mystery of this.

"Dreadnought, what do you think?"

Su Wei frowned and said with a wry smile: "The old man has long been unfamiliar with the situation in Xingyang County.

What is the current situation of the four Zheng Pan Cui Lu families, I only know a rough idea. But since they acted, they must have a plan. Mi Gong intends to capture the eastern capital, and Kaifeng is the only way to go. It's just that this Xin Wenli must not be taken lightly. ”

Li Mi heard this and laughed out loud.

"If Xin Wenli's uncle Xin Shixiong, Lone may be a little jealous.

But this Xin Wenli ...... Hehe, it's not that I'm alone in underestimating this person. If you take Xin Wenli's head, it is like taking something from your bag. ”

Maybe for a long time, Li Mi has become a habit.

Although at some point, he will pay attention to this mantra of restraining himself, but once he becomes proud, he gets a little carried away.

didn't know that Su Wei frowned.

sighed in my heart: How can I achieve great things if I can't hold my breath like this?

Originally, I wanted to assist Li Mi, but now it seems that he is a guy who can't make a climate...... I heard that Kui seems to be working under Li Yanqing, and he is quite important. That Li Yanqing became famous at a young age, and he learned extraordinarily, but it was a pity that he was a little younger. If not, it is also a backer who can shelter from the wind and rain.

Thinking of this, Su Wei remained silent.

"The meaning of the secret prince ......"

Li Mi sneered: "Immediately set up the soldiers and horses, and ordered Cai Jiande to be the vanguard, Li Houde to be the left commander, and Wang Yaohan to be the right commander, and kill Kaifeng." I will retake Kaifeng within three days. As long as Kaifeng is taken, the four families of Zheng Pan and Cuilu will contact me, and the Wei family and Xin Zheng will be at your fingertips...... Besides, I ordered San Lang to go out of the town of Junyi, Xin Wenli wants to retreat with his whole body, and it is bound to be difficult to reach the sky. ”

Su Wei smiled, "In this way, the old man congratulates Mi Gongqi on a successful and successful start." ”

This sentence actually shows Su Wei's thoughts. From now on, I want to follow the example of Xu Shu in Cao Ying's heart in Han and not offer a single strategy.

It's a pity that Li Mi is triumphant at this time, and he will care about the meaning of Su Wei's words.

He only thought that Su Wei was a normal compliment, and looked up and laughed loudly. But I was already thinking in my heart: Can I take the opportunity to seize Xingyang?

What a rare opportunity!

Li Yanqing is not in Xingyang County, which is equivalent to one less confidant.

In the past, when Yan Qing was in Xingyang County, it was like a clenched fist. Even the slightest temptation will be met head-on.

Now that Li Yanqing is not in Xingyang, Xingyang County seems to be a little chaotic.

Zheng Pan Cuilu began to have his own little abacus. This would never have happened before!

The reason for this situation can only show that Li Yanqing has begun to lose control of Xingyang County. After all, Dou Jiande is not such an idle person.

*******

October 29 of the first year of Wude.

On the third day after learning of the loss of Kaifeng, Li Mi waved his army to Kaifeng City.

Li Mi felt that Kaifeng must be very nervous at this time. After all, he arrived in Kaifeng with the defeat of Yu Culture and Yu Wei, can Xin Wenli not be afraid?

And Li Mi has always believed that Xin Wenli is just relying on the shadow of his uncle Xin Shixiong to achieve today's position.

In terms of his talent, there is nothing to worry about.

I want to come to Xin Wenli's tense deep ditch and high base, and I want to use Kaifeng Jiancheng to confront myself. But can a small opening block my way?

Li Mi stood on the carriage, holding the railing of the car, proudly holding his head high, looking into the distance.

Three days, I must capture Kaifeng within three days. Otherwise, once Li Yanqing gets the news, he will arrive in Kaifeng sooner or later for reinforcements.

If that is the case, an ordinary offensive and defensive war will inevitably turn into a protracted war......

"Report ......"

Just as Li Mi was wandering out of the world, thinking about his future plans, a fast horse rushed to the front of the car.

Li Mi was taken aback, but he didn't get angry, but asked calmly, "What's the report?" ”

"King Qiqi, the vanguard army Cai Tongjun sent someone to send a message, saying that the Kaifeng soldiers and horses were camped on the bank of Cai Shui, intending to fight a decisive battle with our army."

Li Mi was taken aback, "You said Xin Wenli, you want to fight with us outside the city?" ”

"Exactly!"

Could this Xin Wenli be dizzy?

Li Mi couldn't help but look stunned, and asked suspiciously, "That Xin Wenli, how many soldiers and horses are sent?" ”

"Cai Tongjun sent someone to tell him that the enemy's soldiers and horses are about 10,000 people."

This seems to be consistent with the previous news. Li Mi was stunned for a long time, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Isn't this Xin Wenli stupid?

If Kaifeng Jiancheng is built, it still has the strength to fight. Now, with 10,000 men, do you want to compete with my army of 50,000? On this day, Xin Wenli died. ”

Li Mi mobilized 200,000 soldiers and horses to fight a decisive battle with Yu Wenhua.

Although it was a complete victory, the losses were huge, but it was shocking. Yu Wenhua and his soldiers and horses are the most powerful of the twelve guards of the Sui Dynasty, and they can fight well. Yu culture and itself, although they are greedy for money and lustful, but after all, they have been on the battlefield for a long time and have excellent art of war.

In the first battle of Tongshan, Li Mi lost nearly half of his 200,000 soldiers and horses.

Half of the soldiers and horses were left behind to pursue Yu Wenhua, so Li Mi now has about 50,000 people in his hands.

But even so, the five-to-one force gave Li Mi an advantage. This also made Li Mi despise Xin Wenli even more, and ordered the chariot battle to speed up, join the forward army and Cai Shui, and form a formation to hold on to Xin Wenli.

Li Mi's chariot, to be precise, was a building car, four meters high, with a bird's-eye view of the entire battlefield.

It was almost noon, and I saw that the Xingyang army on the opposite side was lined up neatly.

Xin Wenli used an extremely common phalanx formation. Li Mi is familiar with the art of war, and after so many years of fighting, he can't see the clues.

In terms of formation and military appearance, it is quite neat.

In the silence, the faint murderous aura emitted was also terrifying.

After Li Mi saw it, he couldn't help but smile coldly.

"Such a small array, dare to stop me?"

He smiled and said to the left and right: "Originally, I thought that the three days could be opened. And now it seems that it will not be half a day, and the lonely and the princes should sit high in Kaifeng City. ”

When everyone around them heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

At this moment, a general rushed out of the Xingyang army formation, dismounted from his crotch, and held the iron lance in his hand, which was Xin Wenli.

Tie Fang Yao pointed at the Chinese army, and he shouted sharply: "That Master Li Mi Li, who has no king, no father, no mercy, and few incorruptibles, dare to fight with me?" ”

The voice came from afar, and the smile on Li Mi's face disappeared suddenly.

Since being scolded by Li Yanqing in Heishi Pass, what Li Mi hates the most is arguing with people. With a terrifying murderous intent in his eyes, he pointed at Xin Wenli with a horsewhip and scolded sharply: "Xin Wenli, you don't know the sky, you dare to seize my city, block my army, and block the car with your real mantis arm, and you don't know whether you are dead or alive." Today, I said that Gu is on the bank of this Cai Shui, and I will capture you alive, and when the time comes, I will see if you dare to be arrogant? ”

After speaking, he flicked his horsewhip in the air, "The three armies obey the order and attack with me!" ”

In an instant, the sound of war drums and horns resounded in the sky by Cai Shui. Teams, rows and rows of Wagang soldiers, in the sound of rumbling war drums, approached the Xingyang army......
