Yang Xuangan smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, brother, don't talk about this yet, no matter what, You Yuan was finally taken down by us, and I was always worried that this guy would cause some trouble." But that Tang Yi is so shrewd that he doesn't need us to force him, so he is directly scared and takes the initiative to take refuge. That's a lot of savings. ”

The corners of Li Mi's mouth hooked: "His performance is a bit unexpected to me, I thought that this dead fat man was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he didn't dare to rush to the front at this time, but I didn't expect him to take You Yuan without saying a word, it seems that this person is very good at judging the situation, and he is smarter than I imagined, so I kept letting Yuan Wuben follow him, just because I was afraid that he would take the opportunity to run." ”

Yang Xuangan was slightly stunned: "Why are you afraid that he will run away?" Does he have any reason to run? ”

Li Mi shook his head and sighed softly: "Big brother, no matter what reason we find, what excuse we make, it is all conscription, this kind of thing is like complicity, don't say that Laihu'er did not raise troops, even if he really raised troops, we took the initiative to recruit troops to quell the rebellion without an edict, and we may be held responsible, with Yang Guang's suspicious and suspicious personality, it is even more woe to the whole clan, so a normal person, at this time, even if he is forced by the situation, will not take the initiative to stand up and arrest You Yuan who doubts this." Because what You Yuan said is the right way, the truth, and what a truly loyal official should do. ”

Yang Xuangan nodded: "If we don't raise troops against Sui, but really put down the rebellion, what will be the result?" ”

Li Mi said: "Even if we come to protect our children and rebel, we have not received Yang Guang's edict, and we cannot recruit private soldiers to crusade." The most important thing to do is to close the city gates. The men in the city went to the city to defend. In this way, we can be safe, but if we take the initiative to recruit troops to attack, it will be suspected of rebellion, because we can go to call Lai'er, or we can go to fight the eastern capital, and if we get on this thief ship, there is no way to turn back. This is called coercion and rebellion. ”

Yang Xuangan smiled and said: "You know a lot about this, brother, so if Lai Hu'er also knows that we are raising troops, he does not have Yang Guang's authorization, even if he knows that we are rebelling, he can't return to the army to quell the rebellion?" ”

Li Mi smiled slightly: "Exactly, not only that, because he was bitten by us, saying that he rebelled, and he already has a stigma." So under normal circumstances, it should be temporarily put in place. Standing still to prove one's innocence. As for Li Jing, the general of Zhuo County in Hebei, on the one hand, his troops were scattered in the four prefectures and counties to crusade against the thieves, and on the other hand, he did not dare to attack casually, so within three months, we did not have to worry about the soldiers and horses of Hebei and Shandong coming to rescue the eastern capital or Guanzhong. ”

Yang Xuangan nodded: "It turns out that Brother Xian still has such a layer of consideration, we have about 100 days, and we should be able to take the Eastern Capital." By the way, according to what you say, the soldiers and horses in the Eastern Capital can't be moved casually. ”

Li Mi's expression became serious, and he shook his head: "No, the situation in the Eastern Capital and Daxing is different, Yang Guang left Prince Yuande in the Eastern Capital before the Liao Expedition, that is, the son of our short-lived fat brother, Yang Tong, the king of Yue, stayed behind as the Eastern Capital, and the real person in charge was Fan Zigai, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs." And the one who guards the western capital is Yang Yu, the acting king, and he is assisted by Wei Xuan, the general of the right guard, and the two princes have the right to make decisions and act cheaply, not to mention the mobilization of soldiers and horses from other counties, at least the mobilization of the army near the two capitals, it is not a problem. ”

Yang Xuangan sneered: "The two little dolls, the hair has not grown, can they stop me?" ”

Li Mi smiled: "Big brother, don't underestimate the enemy, Yang Tong and Yang Yu are of course two dolls, but the remaining guards are not weak, Wei Xuanwei Wensheng in Daxing is the general of Guan Long, in the last battle of Liao, all the military horses that crossed Sashui were almost wiped out, only after his army was broken, he was able to preserve, and even protected Yuwenshu, Yu Zhongwen and others withdrew to Liaodong, and because of this, they got the important position of staying in Xijing. ”

Yang Xuangan nodded: "Wei Xuan is indeed a veteran, Lao Cheng is serious, so to speak, the tactics of sneaking up on Tongguan and using natural danger to kill the Xijing troops last time are difficult to work, right?" ”

Li Mi said with a smile: "As long as the eastern capital is in danger, it is not good for him to rub it slowly, once he accelerates the march, he must be negligent in his precautions, and defeat is a matter of time, besides, although Wei Xuan's talent is acceptable, it is difficult to call him a first-class general, and he is obviously not an opponent when he fights against his eldest brother, so he is not afraid." ”

Yang Xuangan laughed: "What about Fan Zigai?" Wei Xuan is still a general, but this Fan Zigai has never led soldiers, isn't it easier to deal with? ”

Li Mi's face changed: "No, eldest brother, younger brother thinks that this Fan Zigai is the person who really needs to pay attention, back then I and Yue Guogong once talked about the military generals of the Chinese court, Yue Guogong did not care about most people, even if it was the famous He Ruobi, in his opinion, it was not very powerful, the people he admired, in addition to Gao Ying, Niu Hong, Li Yuan, among the younger generation, there were only Zhang Xutuo, Yang Yichen, Wang Shichong, Feng Lun, Li Jing and a few others. But he once said in particular that Fan Zigai has a martial arts strategy, which should not be underestimated. ”

Yang Xuangan smiled and said, "Why don't you have a secret brother?" ”

Li Mi smiled and shook his head: "Yue Guogong is willing to talk to the junior brother about these people, obviously he also has some basic recognition of the junior brother, and if he wants to change someone else, I am afraid that he will not say it." ”

Yang Xuangan nodded: "This is in line with my father's character, junior brother, you go on, how can Fan Zigai have a literary and martial arts strategy?" ”

A trace of helplessness flashed in Li Mi's eyes: "At that time, it was also improvised by Yue Guogong, and it was not analyzed in detail, and I don't know the specific content, but the younger brother asked at the time, saying that Fan Zigai seems to have never been in charge of the army, so what is his ability?" ”

But Yue Guogong said that Fan Zigai was one of the five people with the best ability to command the army he had ever seen, and the reason why he had no military power was because of his background, not ability, and this person should definitely not be underestimated. These are his exact words. ”

Yang Xuangan hooked the corners of his mouth: "Hmph, it turned out to be improvised, that can't be taken seriously, my father even valued Feng Lun, but didn't he also lose his eyes?" Fan Zigai is a person from Jiangnan, and the big families in the north look down on him, even if he has some ability, what waves can he set off? ”

Li Mi sighed: "Yue Guogong has another sentence that really worries me, he said, if we meet Fan Zigai defending the city in the future, it is best not to go around the city, and do not try to capture it quickly, because his tenacity is his greatest strength." (To be continued.) )
