437 Tune the Tiger from the Mountain
Seeing Lu Sheng gradually go away, Lu Zhongsu immediately turned back to the conference hall with a heavy heart.
At this time, Zhai Rang had already introduced the general situation around Wagang to Li Mi, and Li Mi was not very satisfied with what he knew.
It is true that Wagangzhai is world-famous, but it is difficult to live up to its name.
Wagangzhai has been built for four or five years now, but it has not really raised the banner of rebellion, but it has not fought with the army of the imperial court.
The question is, if you don't take the initiative to provoke the imperial court, won't the imperial court come to attack Wagang?
If it was before, the answer to this question would obviously be yes, but now that Wagang is famous, just by looking at the current movements of the imperial army, you can see that Wagang is in danger.
This is also the truth that will never change for thousands of years - persimmons should be picked up and pinched! -- Wagangzhai is declared to be outside, but its strength is not obvious, and it is obviously the best target for the imperial court to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys.
Now what?
Li Mi looked at Zhai Rang, then at Lu Zhongsu, who had just come back, and said slowly, "Instead of sitting still, it's better to take the initiative." ”
Zhai Rang was still hesitating, but Lu Zhongsu nodded and said, "Then Xuandi, let's talk about it, how can we attack?" ”
Li Mi immediately stood up, slowly spread out the map he had been holding in his hand on the coffee table in front of Zhai Rang, and everyone gathered around.
When they saw the map centered on Wagang in front of them, everyone couldn't help but secretly praise Li Mi in their hearts, "Professional!" ”
Carrying a map with him and talking about the army on paper before the war are all good habits that Li Mi learned from Su You, how could he have thought that because of this habit, he would inexplicably gain the approval of the Wagang generals?
Li Mi pointed to Xingyang on the map, and immediately said, "Xingyang is a rich place, and all the wealth of the world is gathered in Heluo. Yang Qing, the county guard, is just a cowardly and incompetent person, which is the foundation of Wagang given by God; As long as Luokoucang is captured, it will inevitably shake the Central Plains, so that Wagang will gain the momentum of a leader and attract more talents to take refuge, which is an opportunity for the Wagang army to grow."
Luokoucang, also known as Xingluocang, is located in the southeast of Gongxian County.
Gongxian County is south of Song Mountain, north of the Yellow River moat, east of Jindi Pass, west of Heishi Pass, south of Xuanyuan Pass, and because of the choke of Kyoto Luoyang, so the history has the "East Capital Key" said.
Luokoucang is located in such a dangerous place on all sides, it is a huge city with a circumference of more than 20 miles, and there are more than 3,000 grain cellars in the city; Each cellar can store thousands of stones, and the total grain storage capacity is more than 10 million stones, making it the largest granary in the world.
At this time, less than half of the grain in Luokoucang was stored, and even so, it was the richest place in the world.
It is an indisputable fact that those who get grain win the world in the troubled times of all dynasties; But if you want to take Luokoucang, you must first take Jindi Pass.
Jintiguan is located at the intersection of the Yellow River and the Yongji Canal, and is also a traffic artery; This place has always been heavily guarded, and it is also the only way to go from the north to Xingyang County.
Zhai Rang listened to Li Mi's generosity and said slowly, "Now Jindi Pass is guarded by Pei Renji, and Pei Renji's son is the 'Ten Thousand Enemies' who was canonized along with the 'Tianbao General'. ”
Tianbao General Yuwen Chengdu became a legend many years ago, in the siege of Yanmen last year, and with thirteen horsemen to kill the Turkic 10,000 people famous all over the world, and he has the same prestige of the "10,000 enemies" Pei Xingyan will naturally not be far behind.
In fact, because of Su You's relationship, Pei Xingyan's name is really too close to everyone here.
Needless to say, the captains of the polo team that year, Yuwen Chengdu and Su Youzi, even Li Jing, one of the coaches, also played a huge role in the siege of Yanmen last year.
Li Jing actually rushed thousands of miles to kill the Turkic royal court with a crowd of 300, which made Shibi Khan return with a feather
Pei Xingyan's prestige in the polo team back then was ranked above Li Jing!
Li Mi thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind, and said solemnly, "Although Pei Xing has the courage of ten thousand people, Pei Renji is not a general, as long as we use a trick to lure one of them out of the pass, it will only be a moment to break the pass."
Zhai Rang was full of concerns, "Even if we can lure one of them out, how much time will it give us to break through?" At this point, we have to think long-term. ”
"Don't be afraid, just lure one of them out of three or five miles, I have brought a secret weapon on this trip, and it only takes a cup of tea to break the level." Li Mi shook his head and said firmly.
Lu Zhongsu had just learned from Lu Sheng's mouth that his guards were armed with weapons of great destruction, and at this time, after listening to Li Mi's words, he believed six or seven points, but Zhai Rang and Shan Xiongxin Xu Shiji and others still didn't believe it.
In desperation, Li Mi had no choice but to personally ignite a hand/thunder brought from Nanzhong.
After the roaring sound, Zhai Rang and the others were first stunned in the backyard, and then overjoyed.
"Mr. Su really has the power of gods and ghosts!" They sighed, and finally believed that Li Mi's so-called "breaking the city is only in an instant" is not a lie.
What Zhai asked Li Mi and the others to do next was to plan when to raid Jindi Pass, and who would lure the enemy and who would attack these specific matters.
At this time, Su You's fleet finally left the boundary of Nanzhong and entered the Zhenla Kingdom.
At this time, the country of Zhenla belonged to Laos in later generations, but it was far less vast than Laos in later generations, because the land of Zhenla still belonged to the Stone Age at this time, and there was no real country.
More importantly, the border between Chenla and Nanzhong is already very close to Vientiane, the country of Laos in the later generations. In other words, Fu Guozhao has already expanded the original Nanzhong to the south for more than 1,000 miles
Of course, it is impossible for Su You to look down on these Zhenla, who are still in the Stone Age, and also look down on the neighboring Funan and Luobo Forest. -- If all these countries are included in the map, the average happiness index of South China will definitely drop by 50 percentage points!
This is probably the reason why the Great Sui did not enter these places and incorporate them into the territory, right?
In a word, there are only a small number of people in Southeast Asia today, and the total population of several vast lands is less than 300,000; Their way of life is still tribal, with neither a state nor a currency
Of course, no matter how small the flies are, they are also meat, and it is impossible for Su You to come to save them, but they can colonize here, just like those Western countries did in later generations.
After Su You's fleet arrived in Vientiane, he quickly set up his own dock and transit station, and asked messengers to inform several relatively large tribes in the territory of Zhenla and ask them to send people to watch the ceremony.
The major tribes had business dealings with Nanzhong a few years ago, and Su You specially invited them this time, and they would naturally come seven or eight times out of ten.
This invitation has the meaning of an alliance.
Seeing that the people were almost coming, Su You immediately used artillery to conduct a military exercise, the purpose of which was to make them afraid of Yun China's force, so as to ensure that this newly established transit war would not be attacked by them.
Of course, there are also unsightly tribes who did not send people to attend the ceremony of Su You's establishment of the dock and transit station, and then they inexplicably received the baptism of blood.
Su You not only used his iron horse to tell the tribes of Zhenla what killing was, but also used this to capture seven or eight hundred young people and use them as cannon fodder.
Under the trend of swords and interests, the various tribes of the Zhenla Kingdom recognized the rule of Yun China at least verbally, and actively participated in trade with Yun China; Su You left with a full load, went downstream to Funan, and entered Thailand
It's the weather at the end of July, and after a heavy rain, Pei Renji, the guard of the Jindi Gate, finally feels a little autumn.
Inside the city, Pei Renji and Pei Yuanqing, father and son, were playing chess, when they suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door.
The father and son both felt something, and looked at the door together, but it was Pei Renji's two personal soldiers with a big man in disheveled clothes.
The big man Pei Renji also recognized, but it was Zheng Zhi, the county lieutenant of nearby Haize County, as soon as he saw Pei Renji's father and son, he immediately bowed down on one knee and said, "General Pei, Hauzer was attacked by the Wagang army, and my county commander sent a villain to ask the general for help!" ”
"What?" Bae In-gi and Bae Won-kyung were taken aback, and the latter actually stood up because of this.
As far as they knew, the Wagang army had been raiding only in the wilderness, although they occasionally raided villages and towns; But it is the first time that the county town has been openly attacked like today.
"It's bearable, it's unbearable!" This is Pei Yuanqing's most direct thought, because of the unscrupulousness of the Wagang Army, and because the county order of Haize County has an old relationship with Pei Renji.
Now that Hauzawa County has been attacked, if Pei Yuanqing doesn't go to the rescue, he can't say anything!
Pei Yuanqing looked at Zheng Zhi, who was embarrassed below, and immediately asked Pei Renji for his life, "Father, please give me eight hundred soldiers, let the child go to relieve the siege of Haoze, and teach the Wagang thieves a lesson!" ”
Pei Yuanqing's cannon-like temper, Pei Renji's temper was not much better, and he nodded immediately.
The reason why Pei Renji dared to let Pei Yuanqing lead 800 soldiers to rescue was also because he believed in Pei Yuanqing's ability, even if he couldn't save Haoze, there should be no problem in retreating; Similarly, Pei Renji also believed that the Jindi Pass was tall and majestic, and even if Pei Yuanqing left here with eight hundred warriors, he would not be unable to defend the city.
The most important thing is that Pei Renji and Pei Yuanqing both want the Wagang Army to dare not only to attack Haize County, but also to attack Jindi Pass!
Pei Yuanqing led 800 soldiers to Hauzer quickly, and at this time, Shan Xiongxin, who led the Wagang army to feign a siege, immediately shouted, and everyone slowly retreated.
"Zhai Rang, the head of the thief, can you dare to fight?" Pei Yuanqing shouted, and rushed into the chaotic army with two hammers in turn, and the eight hundred warriors behind him also fought bravely, like wolves.
Although the Wagang Army held the banner of Zhai Rang, in fact, how could Li Mi dare to let Zhai Rang get into danger and lead the enemy and feed the wolf with his body?
Shan Xiongxin fought and fled, and he was also a little depressed in his heart, saying that he was waiting for the arrival of the rescue troops at Jindi Pass, and everyone pretended to escape; But now, it's obviously the true colors!
The soldiers cried and shouted for their mothers, complaining that their parents gave them two legs, but Shan Xiongxin mocked loudly, "Pei Xingyan, you are still pestering us stragglers, and the Jindi Pass will be taken down in a while, and you will also become a lost dog!" ”
Pei Yuanqing snorted disdainfully, and was about to sarcastically mock Shan Xiongxin, but when he heard the direction of Jindi Pass, he suddenly remembered the sound of an explosion like a thunderbolt, and then the sound of shouting and killing in the sky
At this time, Pei Yuanqing knew that he had fallen for someone else's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and immediately shouted, "Return to the army Jindi Pass!" ”
