Li Yuan and Yu Wenhua's goal is Chang'an, they are natural competitors and out-and-out enemies of life and death, but Li Mi is an obstacle or worry for them to enter the Guanzhong.

Li Yuan's army was approaching, and Yu Wenhua was about to arrive, which made Li Mi have to temporarily abandon his plan to continue to besiege the Eastern Capital, - even if he could capture the Eastern Capital at this time, it was likely to be cheaper for Li Yuan or Yu Wenhua; If he can't capture the Eastern Capital, the situation will be even worse, and then he will inevitably be attacked by the army of Li Yuan and Yu Wenhua.

knew that Dongdu would fall into his hands sooner or later, but now he had to give up, which made Li Mi feel very bad.

Li Yuan and Li Mi had a verbal non-aggression agreement, but this agreement was not binding on half a dime.

Li Yuan is the enemy of the Eastern Capital, Yu Wenhua is the enemy of the Eastern Capital, and he is also the enemy of the Eastern Capital, but he is likely to be caught in the middle of them, how can Li Mi's mood be good?

After thinking about it repeatedly, Li Mi also felt that it was the best policy to intercept Yu Wenhua according to Su You's arrangement, but the transfer of troops on the grounds of Su You's secret order was obviously not convincing.

When Li Mi was racking his brains, Zu Junyan, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanzao, Li Jian and others arrived one after another, and they all asked Li Mi why he gave up the Eastern Capital.

Looking at the expressions of his subordinates who hated iron and steel, Li Mi only smiled bitterly, "The reason why I gave up the siege of the Eastern Capital is because I just got a piece of news, as early as twenty days ago, Yu Wenhua and led the Xiaoguo Army to fight in Jiangdu, and Yang Guang was killed."

"Yang Guang is dead?" When everyone got the news, they immediately looked at each other.

The banner of the Wagang Army is Yang Guang, so there is a text written by Zu Junyan for Li Midai a year later, but why did Yang Guang die now? Should this be good news or bad news?

After a few people finally digested Li Mi's news, Zu Junyan asked with some puzzlement, "Mi Gong, although Yang Guang was killed, it is not a reason for you to give up the siege of the Eastern Capital, right?" ”

Zu Junyan's meaning is very clear, although the Wagang army is under the banner of opposing Yang Guang, it is no different from the goal of other rebellious armies, that is, to overthrow the violent Sui and replace it.

If it was just for a bite of food, how could Zu Junyan and other middle-class people throw their heads and spill their blood to join the rebel army? Isn't everyone thinking about becoming a founding thief?

In ancient times, there was a saying that "those who steal hooks punish those who steal the country", and none of the few people here are stupid.

"Junyan, don't be impatient. I may not have made it clear just now, the reason why the Xiaoguo army followed Yu Wenhua and the soldiers was because they wanted to return to Guanzhong as soon as possible, and we were on the way for them to return to Guanzhong," Li Mi talked eloquently, and then glanced at them again, and then continued, "This means that we are likely to be attacked by Yu Wenhua and Li Yuan, as well as the counterattack of the Eastern Capital, and our situation is very unfavorable." ”

Wei Zheng immediately said with a burst of blood, "Yu Wenhua and Li Yang Hao are the mainstays, and Yuan Wendu and others in the Eastern Capital will definitely not be convinced, which means that they can't urinate in a pot, it depends on which side Yang Shan will fall to."

"If Yang Shan will fall to Yu Wenhua, we will be challenged like never before, this battle is not easy to fight," Fang Xuanzao continued, and the others also nodded.

Obviously, they now understood Li Mi's idea of abandoning the Eastern Capital and began to consider the next battle plan.

When a few people were frowning and planning how to fight against Yu Wenhua's army, they heard the guards outside come in and report, "The court's Tongzhi scattered cavalry Chang Gai Cong asked to see the secret duke"

What are the people of the court going to do when they come? With this problem, Li Mi didn't make a score, and immediately ordered someone to invite him quickly.

After Gai Cong came in, he succinctly explained the current situation in the Eastern Capital.

As early as two days ago, the Eastern Capital got the news of Yu Wenhua and the killing of the monarch, and then the officials of the Eastern Capital, such as Lu Chu and Wang Shichong, have been serving Yang Dong as the main and the emperor as the lord.

The first major problem faced by the emperor after taking office was to avenge the emperor, that is, to kill Yu Wenhe, but now it is difficult for the troops of the Eastern Capital to break through Li Mi's encirclement, so how to kill Yu Wenhua?

Around how to kill Yu culture and this issue, the new leadership team of Dongdu tossed for two days and did not discuss the reason; It wasn't until he discovered that Li Mi had suddenly withdrawn his troops that Gai Cong finally proposed a plan to recruit Li Mi to drive the wolf and subdue the tiger.

Being able to use Li Mi's culture and Yu is really perfect, but what does Dong need to pay?

Maybe it is enough to give Li Mi a little false name, such as making him the rightful Duke of Wei, canonizing him as a lieutenant, and making him the marshal of the Daxingtai march in the southeast province or something.

Looking at the full sincerity brought by Gai Cong, if Li Mi is not moved, it must be fake, and now he is temporarily fighting with the Eastern Capital, isn't it just in his own interests?

Despite this, Li Mi still said to Gai Cong with a smile, "The conditions proposed by Gai Changshi are very favorable, but Li Mi has a question, my Wagang Army is now dominated by Zhai Rang, and the Eastern Capital Imperial Court has surrendered to me, and where is our big boss?" ”

"This" Gai Cong didn't know what to say for a while, this was indeed the mistake of the Eastern Capital Imperial Court, they had been oppressed by Li Mi, so they mistakenly thought that the person who spoke of the Wagang Army was Li Mi.

Li Mi had already promised Gai Cong in his heart, and the reason why he deliberately made things difficult for him was just to get greater benefits.

Li Mi immediately said that whether Wagangzhai accepts Zhao'an depends on Zhai Rang's opinion, but he can first send a negotiation team to follow Gai Cong into the eastern capital to discuss with the imperial court in detail.

After politely asking Gai Cong to wait, Li Mi continued to discuss with Zu Junyan and others; After discussing for half an hour, Li Mi finally made a decision to accept the court's recruitment, and then to deal with Yu Culture and consumption.

The current situation is obviously better than still.

If the Wagang army fought with Yu Wenhua and the Xiaoguo army under his command, regardless of victory or defeat, what if the Sui army in the eastern capital counterattacked?

The intelligence shows that the main reason why Yu Wenhua and the Xiaoguo army under his command are homesick is homesickness, and another important reason is because of the lack of food, and the last thing that the Wagang army lacks now is food.

Of course, the most favorable situation for Li Mi now is consumption, and Li Mi, who has food, is not afraid to confront any enemy.

Li Mi even came up with a plan to force Yu Wenhua and the Wagang army to confront, and when Yu Wenhua finally found out his intentions, all he could do was to attack like a dog jumping over the wall, or turn around and leave helplessly

Of course, Li Mi and Yu Wenhua's confrontation is not perfect, at least he can't take care of Li Yuan.

After Li Yuan and Qu Tutong confronted each other in Hedong City for a few days, Xue Dading, a native of Fenyang, came to offer advice.

Xue Dading proposed, "You can cross the river directly from Longmen, occupy Yongfeng Cang, and pass the Quartet, and the heroes will definitely come to vote, and Guanzhong will be at your fingertips." ”

Li Yuan's intention was moved, but if he crossed Hedong County and entered Guanzhong directly, there would always be an illusion that his back would be exposed to the enemy.

Although he failed to adopt Xue Dading's plan in time, Li Yuan still kept him.

Then he ordered Chen Yanshou, Wang Changhuan, and Liu Hongji to lead thousands of elite soldiers to cross the Yellow River from Liangshan Ferry and set up camp on the west bank of the Yellow River; At the same time, the Guanzhong thief Zuo Guanglu and Wuxiang County Gongsun Hua, who were the first to come to Li Yuan, also led thousands of elite soldiers from their headquarters to cross the Yellow River.

After Chen Yanshou and others crossed the river, the Great Sui Huyalang General Sang Xianhe led thousands of Xiaoguo to attack that night, but unfortunately he encountered an enemy who was waiting for him.

Wang Changhui led his headquarters to block the Sui army's offensive with the help of earthen walls, Liu Hongji led the army to attack the Sui army from the flank, and Sun Hua led hundreds of elite cavalry to the back of the Sui army.

Under the attack from three sides, Sang Xian and the army were defeated; Sun Hua chased after him from behind, and eliminated the last of the Sui troops in the area of Yinmaquan, and Sang Xian and the lone fled back to Hedong City.

On the second day, Sun Hua demolished the Pujin Bridge downstream according to Li Yuan's order, and Qu Tutong had lost his way back, and it was only a matter of time before he was destroyed by Li Yuan.

But the city walls of Hedong City were too tall, and Li Yuan couldn't deal with Qu Tutong for a while, so he had to reconvene the generals and put Xue Dading's proposal on the table.

Regarding Xue Dading's proposal, Pei Lin was the first to stand up and object, "Qu Tutong still has a lot of elite soldiers, and with the help of Jiancheng, he can come out like a poisonous snake to bite us at any time." If we abandon Hedong City and rush to attack Guanzhong, what if it is unfavorable to attack Guanzhong? When the time comes, it will be the enemy on the back of the abdomen. Anyway, Chang'an is there, and Chang'an's reliance is only Qu Tutong, as long as we defeat Qu Tutong, Chang'an will be at your fingertips. ”

Li Shimin thought, "The soldiers are fast, if we stalemate with Qu Tutong for too long now, then Chang'an will also have defense, and when the time comes, we will need to pay more to attack Chang'an." ”

Li Shimin is young and vigorous, and his advice is mainly attacking; Pei Lin is scheming and good at winning steadily.

Faced with these two completely different opinions, Li Yuan adopted a compromise method and decided to divide his troops into three routes.

The first army was led by Li Jiancheng, Li Xiaogong, and Chai Shao to continue to stay in Hedong to confront Qu Tutong, and the purpose of the confrontation was to contain Qu Tutong from leaving Hedong City to rescue Guanzhong.

The second army was led by Li Shimin, Yin Kaishan, Tang Jian, and Liu Hongji to lead troops from the southwest to take Jingyang, and then divided their troops to attack Fufeng all the way after taking Jingyang.

The Third Route Army was led by Li Xuanba, Liu Wenjing and others crossed the Weishui River and took Yongfengcang directly.

Taking Yongfeng, hitting Fufeng, and Kexinfeng are the three most important moves to capture Xijing, and they will go well in order, and taking Xijing is just an expected thing.

is about to enter the customs, and the ministers have appeared on the table in the hope of using more important place names to deter Guanzhong, and the general Li Yuan has naturally become the captain Li Yuan.
