Chapter 36: To Help or Not to Help

Li Mi said with a smile: "What Xu Junshi said is not bad, it is exactly what I think in my heart, but I don't know how you will deal with this matter if it is Xu Junshi!" ”

A few days later, a distress report from Shandong was sent to Zhang Xutuo's hands, the content of the battle report was that the Wagang army bypassed Mount Tai and attacked Bocheng, the Bocheng defense was empty, the defenders could not hold on, and the city was occupied by the Wagang army, and the war report also said that the Wagang army had the intention of further eastward advance.

This news made Zhang Xutuo irritable, he didn't seem to have led the army to Henan, but because Zhai Rang was in Wagang, the Sui army did not have too many troops in Henan, and most of the troops were transferred to Luoyang to protect Luoyang, which caused the emptiness in the east of Henan, and Zhang Xutuo was famous in Shandong before, and he had a lot of achievements, and he had a lot of experience in dealing with the rebels in various places, and he almost never lost, so Yang Guang ordered him to lead the army westward to help exterminate the rebellious army in Wagang.

Zhang Xutuo didn't want to drag on for a long time, so he took the initiative to seek a battle as soon as he entered Henan, the Wagang army won a series of battles before, and the morale was greatly boosted, and the righteous troops from all over the country responded and joined them, so that the momentum of the Wagang army suddenly reached a peak, and in this case, Zhang Xutuo was not afraid at all, and still took the initiative to seek war, the Wagang army did not know the depth, and wanted to annihilate them in one fell swoop, as a result, the two sides went through more than 30 battles in a month, and the Wagang army lost troops and lost generals, without any victory, and morale also fell to the bottom, I can only retreat to the cottage and defend it strictly, and I don't plan to send troops to fight.

Zhang Xutuo then sent Luo Shixin to attack the Jindi, here is the Wagang general Xin Wenli stationed in the place, there are more than 5,000 people, the Golden Causeway is very important for Wagangzhai, Zhang Xutuo's original intention is to take the opportunity to hit the Jindi, the main force of the Wagang army to deceive out, and then take the opportunity to defeat them, it is best to annihilate them, as a result, Luo Shixin Jindi fought very fast, but there was no movement on the Wagang Village, until the new Wenli was beheaded by Luo Shixin, the Jindi was lost, and Wagangzhai did not send reinforcements, which made Zhang Xutuo's plan can only be in vain.

And now the Wagang army actually secretly sent troops to attack Bocheng, which made Zhang Xutuo feel even more anxious, if Qin Qiong didn't go to Yancheng, then he was not very worried, but at this time, there were not many troops stationed in the hinterland of Shandong, so it was almost impossible to block or even exterminate this Wagang army.

Zhang Xutuo knew that he had to defeat the Wagang Army as soon as possible in order to resolve the passive situation, but the Wagang Army only knew how to hold on, so how could he defeat the enemy?

"General, someone sent a letter saying it was for you!"

At this moment, a soldier delivered a letter to Zhang Xutuo's hand, Zhang Xutuo was very curious, he opened it and looked at it, he was a little surprised by the content of the letter, but he didn't believe it, but who sent this letter?

He asked the soldier, but he did not know that the man who came was only a civilian in the city, and he said that someone had given him money to send a letter, and because it was a letter to the officers and soldiers, he did not dare to take it, so the man gave him double the price.

Zhang Xutuo nodded, since the other party didn't want him to know his identity, then it was naturally difficult for him to find out something.

He opened the note again, glanced at it, and there was only one sentence on it: The proud army will be defeated!

Everyone knows that the arrogant army will be defeated, but what does this faith mean? With only these four words, Zhang Xutuo couldn't understand what the messenger was trying to mean?

He flipped through the letter and looked at it a few times, only to see a small red stamp on the back, which should not have been deliberately left by the other party, because it is usually stamped on the front of the letter, not on the back.

He took a closer look at the candlestick, and saw two words written on it: Liu Zhi, but who is this Liu Zhi? He felt a little impressed, but he couldn't remember it strangely.

The Wagang army finally sorted, and it was pouring out, thinking about killing in the direction of Xingyang.

Zhang Xutuo was not worried but happy after hearing the news, what he was looking forward to was such an opportunity, he was not afraid that there would be many people coming from the enemy, but he was afraid that the enemy would shrink up on the mountain and not come down, that was what made him feel a headache.

Zhang Xutuo ordered all the soldiers and horses, left Xingyang City with 10,000 people, and went south to kill, and the armies of the two sides soon collided, and then each shot his own position, set up a large array, and prepared to fight for life and death.

At this time, hundreds of miles away on Langya Mountain, Liu Zhi stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the north from afar, and the mist rising from the mountain stream in the distance dotted this mountain range like a fairyland, making him unable to see through.

"Did the letter get out?"

Liu Zhi asked the attendant behind him, and the attendant nodded, "According to the instructions of the pavilion master, our people have already handed over your handwritten letter to Zhang Xutuo when Zhai Rang led the army down the mountain, but there is something unknown to the subordinates. ”

Liu Zhi didn't look back, and said lightly: "You are curious, since I want to help him, why don't I apply the name of Langya Pavilion, but in the name of a private person, and he may not be able to find out that this letter was written by me, right?" ”

The attendant nodded, obviously what he was thinking in his heart was not bad from what Liu Zhi said.

"I admire Zhang Xutuo's talent, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a genius, in the whole world, there are generals with such military talent as him, but only Li Shimin of Li Tang, but compared to Li Shimin, I prefer Zhang Xutuo's ruthlessness, so I can't bear a generation of famous generals to fall like this, but I don't want to use the name of Langya Pavilion to help him, if he listens to me, it's okay, and he will end up with a favor in the future, if he doesn't listen, then I won't offend King Wei?"

The attendant was puzzled: "King Wei? ”

Liu Zhi snorted lightly and said: "The King of Wei is Li Mi, this person has a city in his chest, but he is only short-lived, it can be said that he was born at the wrong time, forget it, don't mention it, pass on my secret order, let the front-line meticulous work closely monitor the movements on the battlefield, and be ready to send us a message with flying pigeons at any time!" ”

"Yes!"

The attendant slowly retreated, leaving Liu Zhi alone here and sighing in a low voice to the beautiful mountains and rivers.

His original intention was not to change history, but at this time he had changed too much history, he was already a little vague about the context of history, and he didn't know whether he wanted the Great Sui to perish, or to hope that it would continue to be preserved, if the emperor of the Great Sui was a different person, he might choose the former, but now he is a debaucherous tyrant, so that he can't like the Sui Dynasty, since the next dynasty is Li Tang, then let Li Shimin take care of this broken world, See what he can do!
