Chapter 257: A Guest Comes from the West
(Thank you for the support of guwaiting, continue to ask for collection!) )
Li Mi pondered in Wang Bo's cottage for a few days, first pretending to be amazed and inexplicably inspected the men and horses under Wang Bo's command, praising the majesty of his soldiers and horses as the first in the green forest, and then made suggestions to suggest that Wang Bo would mix the horse army and infantry to fight together, and left a book of soldiers to give to Wang Bo, not to mention that if Wang Bo led the army south to attack Dongping County, he was willing to help him raise grain and grass, and when he left, he would contact other heroes, as long as Wang Bo's army went out, there would be a large amount of grain and grass to come.
This can be regarded as a solution to Wang Bo's urgent need, and he is grateful for his kindness.
was fooled by Li Mi for several days, and at this time, Wang Bo already felt that he was the first person on the green forest road on both sides of the Yellow River. He even felt that as long as the food and grass were ready, no one in the world would be able to stop his soldiers. Coupled with Li Mi's vague provocation, the enemy Wang Bo, who had been killed by the people of Yanyunzhai at the foot of Daishan Mountain, fled in embarrassment, and felt that it was impossible not to report it. Trampling on the opponent who once humiliated him, once this feeling is provoked, it is difficult to calm down.
After reviewing Wang Bo's army, Li Mi formulated a detailed strategy for him. With 150,000 troops pressing the border, of which 100,000 soldiers are pointing directly at Yuncheng, Li Xian, the big boss of Yanyunzhai, will inevitably lead the army to resist, and then divide 50,000 troops to attack Juyeze and rob the place where Li Xian is rooted. After pacifying Dongping County, rest for a while, and then lead troops to attack Lu County, lead Zhang Xutuo to lead the army to rescue, and then ambush and kill halfway, even if Zhang Xutuo is a famous general in the world, he can only drink hatred and fold.
This plan is even more admired by Wang Bo, and he admires Li Mi's ability. Li Mi was also very pleased to see that Wang Bo agreed with his strategy, and he told Wang Bo that Yang Xuangan had the opportunity to achieve great things and build a great cause, and he once proposed three strategies for Yang Xuangan. Even if you act according to the middle policy, you can slowly and steadily, and eventually you can turn your family into a country. But Yang Xuangan didn't listen, and he had to follow the next strategy to enter the army, which eventually led to a fiasco and died, which has to be said to be a pity.
Wang Bo said: "Don't be sad about Mi Gong, as long as there is a leader of Mi Gong, Lv Lin Dao Haojie, you can gather a million troops in an instant, and when the time comes, where Mi Gong's finger goes, the army will inevitably crush any enemy into powder." ”
Li Mi was relieved: "If everyone has such insight as Zhishilang, why can't the world be calm?" He sighed with emotion: Sui lost his deer, everyone in the world wanted to chase the Central Plains, and in the end he became the king and lost the king. As long as the rebel armies on the Green Forest Road work together to fight against other forces, no one can snatch this Great Sui world. ”
He said more directly than the previous few days: "If Zhishilang can help me achieve the emperor's business, when the new dynasty is established, Zhishilang will be the first merit, and it will be a matter of course to be crowned king." Wang Bo won Li Mi's promise, and he respected him even more.
In this way, after staying in Wang Bo's cottage for more than ten days, he said goodbye, Wang Bo repeatedly retained, Li Mi only said that he had to contact other heroes to raise food and grass for Zhishilang, and he could not delay. The imperial army is in Liaodong, such a good opportunity must be grasped, he reminded Wang Bo to send troops as soon as possible, as for the grain and grass do not have to worry at all. He revealed that Yang Xuangan supervised grain in Liyang Cang before the rebellion, and he was in Liyang at that time, knowing that Yang Xuangan had transported a large amount of grain and grass from Liyang Cang and hid it in other places in case he needed it. Only Li Mi knew where to hide these grains and grasses now, and it was not a problem for them to feed an army of 300,000 people.
Wang Bo was greatly surprised when he heard this, but his heart was much more steady. He told Li Mi that Mi Gong was at ease, as long as the grain and grass arrived, he would immediately send troops to Dongping County.
Li Mi said unhappily: "Do you suspect that I can't deliver the grain and grass in time?" ”
Seeing Li Mi's anger, Wang Bo hurriedly explained: "How can it be, it's just that the grain and grass in the cottage are barely enough for half a month, which is really not enough to support the army to go on the expedition." ”
Li Mi said with an ugly face: "If you believe me, you will send troops immediately after I leave, and I will definitely send men and horses to deliver food to your army within ten days." If you don't believe me, why do you say these things in a hypocritical manner? Just because I have never been here, Zhishilang walked your Yangguan Avenue and said goodbye. ”
Wang Bo has already been brainwashed by Li Mi, how dare he offend the future emperor?
He promised to send troops immediately, and Li Mi regained his smile: "Zhishilang, don't worry, I want to do great things, how can I not be honest with others?" If so, who will follow me in the future? ”
Wang Bo thought about it, but he couldn't help but repeatedly tell Li Mi to ask him to send food as soon as possible.
Li Mi nodded in agreement, and then hugged his fists and said goodbye.
Wang Bo was sent out for thirty miles before returning, and his heart began to yearn for the beauty of his king. One of his village owners was puzzled: "Will Li Mi really send food?" What if he tricks us into going out to war with the men and horses of Yanyun Village? ”
Wang Bo thought for a while and reprimanded: "What kind of character is Mi Gong, how can he lie? Besides, what benefit can he get by tricking us into going to Dongping County? He is recruiting talents, otherwise how could he come to our cottage in person? ”
The owner of the village thought about it, Li Mi didn't need to lie at all, so he offended Zhishilang and Yanyunzhai of Dongping County, and there was no reason to do so.
After Li Mi and his entourage left Wang Bo's cottage, he rode on a horse and was so unhappy. The scholar beside him was puzzled and asked, "Lord, why do you respect that Wang Bo so much?" I have to waste food for him, but it's a pity, I think it's just a straw coarse, and it's hard to make a big deal. ”
Li Mi was in a very good mood, so he said patiently: "What do you know about this little boy?" I sent Wang Bo to fight Yanyunzhai in Dongping County, but I wanted to disturb the situation on both sides of the Yellow River, Wang Bo attacked Yanyunzhai, Yang Yichen's old fox naturally would not let go of this opportunity, whether Wang Bo was defeated or Yanyunzhai was defeated, Yang Yichen would inevitably take the opportunity to attack. Qijun Zhang Xutuo will not miss this opportunity, he and Yang Yichen are both fame-seeking, and such an opportunity to become famous is the sweetest bait for them. Dongping County is in chaos, and Yang Yichen and Zhang Xutuo are involved, and I have no time to care about other places, this is what I want. ”
He laughed and said: "Let them fight, but I just took advantage of the fact that the official army had no time to separate the army!" As for the grain and grass promised to Wang Bo, he was only afraid that the war in Dongping County would be together, and he couldn't get out even if he wanted to, a man who would die...... And how could I waste food on him? ”
The little scholar adored: "The lord is really eloquent!" Playing with those grass cowards in the palm of their hands, those guys are still complacent. Lord...... Where else are we going? ”
Li Mi stretched out his hand and pointed forward: "Go to Dongjun and visit Zhai Rang of Wagang Village." ”
……
……
After Zhang Xutuo left, Li Xian had no intention of staying and led the army back to Yuncheng, Dongping County. After the army returned, Yuncheng County ordered Pei Shisheng to go ten miles out of the city to greet him. Li Xian asked how the matter of Tuntian was arranged, and after Pei Shisheng explained in detail, Li Xian returned to the house after a few words.
Li Xian rewarded Pei Shisheng with the big mansion of Wu Province as a reward for his merits. Pei Shisheng was a clear-minded person, and ordered someone to vacate a quiet house in Liuhua Lane and dedicate it to Li Xian to live in. The house does not occupy a large area, but it is quiet and quiet surrounded by a circle of weeping willows. Liuhua Lane, it is because there is a row of weeping willows on both sides of this alley that I don't know how many years it has grown, Li Xian likes the quietness here very much, so he did not refuse.
After returning to Yuncheng, the first thing Li Xian wanted to look for was naturally Ye Huaichong, which had nothing to do with the relationship between his children and daughters, and he needed to know the situation in Dongping County since he left this period. The four battalions of Flood, Agni, Aoki, and Houtu were still outside, and he didn't dare to take it lightly. Dongping County was taken down when a hundred wastes were waiting to be rebuilt, and the battalions guarded the counties, and there was no room for a little difference.
"Nothing has happened lately, has it?"
As soon as Li Xian entered the door, he asked Ye Huaisleeve.
"What can happen?"
Li Xian was dumbfounded, and then smiled: "I am like a rich man now, and I will be thinking about the few taels of broken silver hidden under the kang mat of the few acres of thin fields at home for fear of something accident." ”
Ye Huaisleeve smiled and said: "The grain sent to the counties has been transported, I heard that our Dongping County can get good land and seed collars, a large number of refugees have poured in from Dongjun County and Jibei County, and no less than 100,000 displaced people have poured into Dongping in just two months. Although the gathering of wheat sowing has passed and cannot catch up with the summer grain storage, it is possible to plant something that has a short harvest time, and it only takes three more months for the coarse grain to be harvested, and the people will be more down-to-earth at that time. ”
Li Xian snorted and asked, "No one took the opportunity to make trouble?" ”
Ye Huaisleeve nodded and said: "Naturally, there are, the thousands of displaced people who poured into Juye County from Dongjun a while ago made trouble, and it is estimated that someone instigated it, and clashed with the local people in Juye County, and hundreds of people died." It was Luo Fu's Aoki Battalion who guarded Juye County, and he took the soldiers and horses of the Aoki Battalion to behead more than 3,000 troublemakers in Dongjun in one go, which calmed down. Not only Juye, but also the homeless people from the East County in Leize County made trouble, and the Eastern Fire also killed some people. ”
Li Xian immediately frowned: "Only there are people in Juye and Leize counties who are making trouble?" ”
Ye Huaisleeve nodded and said, "Well, there is no news from the Thick Earth Camp and the Flood Camp. ”
Li Xian asked again: "The troublemakers are all displaced people from Dongjun?" ”
Ye Huai snorted, suddenly frowned, looked at Li Xian and asked, "Are you thinking...... Sky! How could I have overlooked such an important thing! ”
Li Xian sighed and said: "There are too many things you usually manage, and it is inevitable to ignore them." After all, it doesn't seem like an abnormal thing for the homeless people to make trouble, and it seems that our neighbors are not honest. In this case, Ming said that I will go to Razor first, and then go to Juye. ”
Ye Huaisleeve said slightly angrily: "What are the people of Wagangzhai going to do? ”
Li Xian sighed: "What else can you think, it's just a temptation for the time being, if we don't handle it well and provoke the people's uprising, they will naturally benefit from it." This idea is vicious enough, and it must have come from the hand of Xu Shiji, the military advisor of Wagangzhai. He first sent people to instigate the homeless people to make trouble, stirring up conflicts between the homeless people and the people of Dongping County, if we don't control it well, a large number of refugees and local people who poured into Dongping County will clash with each other, but I am afraid that it will soon turn into a catastrophe! ”
"I'll go with you!"
Ye Huaisleeve stood up and said: "Among the refugees from Dongjun County who have entered Dongping County, there must be a large number of spies from Wagangzhai!" ”
Li Xian nodded and said, "It's okay, you can prepare and we'll leave tomorrow." ”
He frowned slightly, and said in his heart that this Xu Shiji is really a good means, and he can test the strength of my Yanyunzhai without a single soldier, even if my Yanyunzhai controls the situation, Wagangzhai has no loss, if he can't control the situation, he can still take the opportunity to go east to grab the territory. With the impact of the huge team of displaced people, it will be easy to take down the two counties of Razor and Juye! Moreover, once the conflict between the displaced people and the local people reaches an uncontrollable situation, I am afraid that the people of Yanyunzhai will have to withdraw by themselves without others attacking!
Xu Shiji, sure enough, is worthy of his name!
Li Xian thought for a while and sighed: "Luo Fu killed people too ruthlessly, and he just hit Xu Shiji's calculations. ”
Ye Huaisleeve hummed and said, "We can't delay, otherwise we will go on the road overnight." ”
Li Xian thought for a while and said: "It's okay, you go and clean up first, try to bring more secret spies, if the spies mixed in with the homeless people don't clean up, even if they are shocked, the homeless chaos will still not be quelled." I'll go see Pei Shisheng again and ask him to care more about the recent homeless people in Yuncheng, and he can't be careless. ”
Li Xian came out of the house in Liuhua Lane, and was just about to go to the county guard yamen with his own soldiers, when suddenly several personal soldiers sent by the iron fang arrived on horseback, and the soldiers dismounted and saluted: "General, Tie Du Lieutenant invites you to go to the county guard mansion, there are guests here." ”
Li Xian saw that the soldier's expression was quite anxious, and asked as he got on his horse, "Who is coming?" ”
The pro-soldier took a breath and said, "Wagangzhai in Dongjun...... Military advisor Xu Shiji! ”
