"Pavilion Master, this is the latest news sent back by Xingyang's spies!"

The attendant placed a letterbox made of green bamboo on Liu Zhi's desk and was about to leave. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The battle is over?"

Liu Zhi asked casually, and then said with a smile: "You may not know, forget it, you go down!" ”

The attendant opened his mouth, but finally said, "Yes!" ”

Then he exited the room.

Liu Zhi stretched out his hand to open the bamboo tube, poured out a roll of paper inside, opened it and looked at it, sighed slightly, he had already reminded him, but he still made the same mistake, he was still in the same position, and was defeated by the same opponent, this may be fate!

There is another news on this news, that is, the Wagang army seems to be split, and in the past few days, people and horses have been withdrawn from the cottage, which seems to have happened in the village.

Xingyang's intelligence officers were still trying to figure out how to send people to infiltrate Wagangzhai to find out more accurate information, but Liu Zhi had already guessed what was going on in Wagangzhai.

It must be that Zhai Rang was solved by Li Mi after killing Zhang Xutuo, but this Li Mi did make Liu Zhi a little impressed, he entered Wagangzhai for a short time, less than two months, and was able to get the support of so many people, Wang Bodang's row of Northern Wei Dynasty took the lead in supporting him, and then Xu Shiji also remained neutral, no longer giving advice to Zhai Rang, and gradually faded out of Zhai Rang's inner circle, and the generals around Zhai Rang were also cut out by Li Mi Design one by one, The new Wenli of Jindiguan was also killed at this time, and at this time, there were only a few people left around Zhai Rang, Wang Ruxin and Shan Xiongxin, Li Mi knew that Shan Xiongxin was loyal and righteous, and did not want him to be involved in this dispute, so he took advantage of Shan Xiongxin's absence to send troops to surround Zhai Rang, and took the lead in killing him, and Zhai Rang was not completely unarranged, he had also designed to get rid of Li Mi before, but it did not succeed.

As soon as Zhai Rang died, there was an uproar up and down Wagang Village, many people were Zhai Rang's subordinates who had been wooed in Xingyang and Bianshui, and they had deep feelings for Zhai Rang, but at this time it was impossible for them to avenge Zhai Rang, and most of Wagang's troops had fallen into the hands of Li Mi, so they left Wagang with their own men and horses, preparing to return to their hometowns or go to others.

And Li Mi is not prepared to stop him, these people are not of the same mind as him, and it is useless to keep them, he needs to form his own army and form his own forces.

However, there is one person he cares about very much, that is Shan Xiongxin, Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji have already gone down the mountain, but they don't know where to go for a while, but Li Mi and others chased after him, wanting to keep the two of them.

Xu Shiji saw through Li Mi's means, that is, unscrupulous means to achieve the goal, he was determined and would not continue to follow such a person, and Shan Xiongxin seemed very hesitant, Zhai Rang treated him well, but Li Mi was also very polite to him, which made it difficult for him to choose for a while, but in the end, he still did not agree to Li Mi's invitation, but chose to return to his hometown in Shanxi and return to his Erxian Village.

Although Li Mi was very disappointed, but this had little impact on his plans, after the occupation of Xingyang and the killing of Zhang Xutuo, the influence of the Wagang army was greatly enhanced, and Li Mi also took the opportunity to expand his strength, Henan has been a major population town since ancient times, so he quickly recruited more than 100,000 soldiers, which made the strength of the Wagang army surpass Li Tang who occupied Chang'an in one fell swoop, and became the strongest one in the peasant rebel army at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Three months later, Li Mi marched to Xingluocang with a newly prepared Wagang army, along the way the defenders of the Sui army were invincible, and did not dare to resist head-on, it can be seen that the Wagang army defeated Zhang Xutuo, what kind of impact it caused in the hearts of the Sui army, especially the battlefield at the foot of Dahaisi Mountain, everyone who has been there knows the tragic situation of the Sui army, tens of thousands of people were all killed by bows and arrows, the corpses were stacked into a hill, and even Zhang Xutuo was buried in the corpse pile, Xingyang Taishou Yang Qing took the county soldiers to clean up for half a month, It is said that because of the long time, the corpses are highly decomposed, which attracts tens of thousands of crows and hundreds of wild wolves to peep around, but fortunately the weather is not very hot at this time, otherwise it would have to produce a plague.

Xingluocang is the largest granary in the country built during the Sui Dynasty, according to historical records, its capacity exceeds 24 million stones, converted into the unit of measurement of later generations, is 1.2 million tons, 24 billion catties, how amazing this number is! Even if it is brought to the present, the 1.3 billion people in the country eat these grains, which is enough to eat for half a month, and during the Sui Dynasty, the population at that time was only about 50 million, which means that the grain of Xingluocang alone is enough for the whole population to eat for a year, how terrifying this should be!

And this granary was built in the second year of the Great Cause, that is, when Yang Guang just succeeded to the throne, the main reason why this granary was built was because the war was over, and in the twenty years of Emperor Wen of Sui's reign, the country was peaceful and peaceful, the wind and rain were smooth, and the grain in various places had a great harvest, the grain could not be eaten, and the original treasury of the grain collected could not be piled up, so Emperor Yang sent people to dig up Xingluo Cang, Huiluo Cang, Changping Warehouse, Liyang Cang, Guangtong Cang and many other granariesIn addition to Xingluo, the remaining granaries are also large granaries that can accommodate more than one million stone grain, the reason why the Tang Dynasty was able to create a prosperous era, in fact, is not unrelated to the grain storage of the Sui Dynasty, according to Wei Zheng's later description in the Sui book, the Tang Dynasty was founded for decades, the grain left over from the Sui Dynasty was finally eaten, it is conceivable how much grain was stored at that time.

Sometimes think about what kind of dynasty Yang Guang defeated, you will feel very frightened, Emperor Wen of Sui spent 20 years to end the troubled times, created a prosperous era, hoarded enough food for the people of the whole country to eat for several years, the food problem that has been troublesome in all dynasties is completely non-existent in the Sui Dynasty, and Yang Guang only took less than ten years to defeat such a good dynasty, which may be stronger than the Tang Dynasty, this is really a thing that makes people sigh, if history can repeat itselfThere may be many people who want to change this tragedy!

Xingluocang was surrounded, Yang Guangguang was shocked, this is the granary of the world, if it falls into the hands of the Wagang army, then they will immediately be able to expand the number of people several times, and there is no worry about food at all!
