Chapter 981: Liyang Okura
Yang Xuangan nodded, and gratefully touched the back of Hongfu's hand: "Thank you for the reminder, and thank you for my brother, it is only now that I recognize the direction I am heading." Well, what should we do next? ”
Li Mi smiled slightly, and said lightly: "The method is actually simple, it is eight words, anti-customer-oriented, take the initiative to change!" ”
Yang Xuangan's brows furrowed: "Brother Mi said in detail, how can he be an anti-customer, and take the initiative to change the law!" ”
Li Mi nodded: "To put it bluntly, we can't follow the routine arranged by Wang Shichong for us, we will be in charge of the army and power in the future, we have to go through ourselves, not through him Wang Shichong to arrange it single-handedly, otherwise we can only control him forever, and we can't turn over." ”
Yang Xuangan shook his head: "But you and I can't be reused, and there is no good way, Pei Shiju, the official of the civil officials, and Yu Wenshu, the general of Zuo Wuwei among the military generals, are all Wang Shichong's accomplices, we want to ask for officials, but we can't get around them." ”
Speaking of this, he glanced at Li Mi and said, "As for the new friend Feng Lun you know now, I can't trust him. If Wang Shichong is ambitious and wants to overthrow Yang Guang as the emperor by himself, this is true, we still have the same goal with him, but Feng Lun only wants to be an official in the Sui Dynasty, which is different from ours, and he is also clear about our family's affairs, knowing that Yang Guang and I are mortal enemies, if you want to seek an official from Yu Shiji through him, I am afraid that it will cause him to be vigilant. ”
Li Mi smiled slightly: "Big brother thinks too much, naturally we can't put our hope on Feng Lun, I mean, big brother don't take the initiative to ask for a military position." Rather, one is asked to be in charge of logistics. Duties such as supervising the transportation of grain and grass. If it is such an official position, it will naturally not attract Yang Guang's attention, as long as the position is chosen properly, you can hit it with one hit! ”
Yang Xuangan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Brother Mi, what do you mean, be more detailed!" ”
Li Mi nodded, and said with a straight face: "We have to find a way." Let Hebei be chaotic, and it is not an ordinary chaos, there will be chaos, the rebels will attack everywhere, threatening the eastern capital of Henan, the first to bear the brunt, is the Yellow River crossing, the important cangcheng connecting the Yongji Canal, Liyang Dacang! ”
Yang Xuangan muttered, "Liyang Cang? ”
Li Mi said vigorously: "Yes, it's Liyangcang." Since the opening of the Grand Canal, this was originally an obscure small ferry. It has become the number one base for supplying Hebei military grain, from Liyang Cang can go straight to the Yellow River, and then take the Yongji Canal to transport grain until Zhuo County, it can be said that the control of here, it will choke the throat of the north and south, especially here is a few million stone of military grain, once occupied, open the warehouse to release grain, you can quickly gather a large number of hungry people and thieves in a short period of time to come to join the army, within ten months, you can expand the army from a few thousand, to more than 100,000. ”
Yang Xuangan's original face was full of excitement, but when he heard the last sentence, he shook his head again, and said: "No, I'm afraid this method is not appropriate, I also know some about the situation in Liyangcang, there are only more than 1,000 people in Kuding guarding Cangcheng, even if Yang Guang allocates manpower, plus my subordinate family, there are only a few thousand, and the armed equipment is extremely poor, it is Cangcheng, not an arsenal, there are no big states and counties nearby to occupy, and you can't grab sophisticated equipment to arm yourself, even if you can rely on opening a warehouse to put rice, gather more than 100,000 people, But they are all rabble, and they can't go head-to-head with the elite of the Sui army! ”
Li Mi said with a smile: "If you occupy Liyang Cang, the eldest brother can have multiple choices, you can take advantage of Yang Guang's northern expedition to Goguryeo, go directly to the north, unite with the righteous army in Hebei, capture Zhuojun, and cut off Yang Guang's return route, or you can develop westward, break Tongguan, take Guanzhong directly, and even go south, taking advantage of the Sui army's defenselessness, a surprise attack directly on the eastern capital Luoyang, and take it in one fell swoop, as long as Luoyang is occupied and the families of the elite troops such as the Baiguan family and the Xiaoguo army are controlled, you can let the Yang army in front collapse without a fight, and the heroes and families of the world, As long as they see that the Sui Dynasty has lost its capital, they will also come to serve one after another, and when the time comes, the general trend of the world will be decided without a fight! ”
Yang Xuangan's eyes sparkled, the first time he heard this grand plan, he couldn't judge the probability of success for a while, but his intuition told him that Li Mi was not just talking on paper, this brother who was well versed in the art of war, and the points mentioned were all mature plans that were planned and then moved, not empty talk on a whim.
Yang Xuangan pondered for a while, and said: "It's too early to say these three plans, it depends on the specific situation, and it is difficult to say whether Yang Guang will lead troops to conquer Goguryeo again, but you are right, as long as we take the initiative to ask for orders and take the defense work of Liyang Cangcheng, there will always be a chance. There is one thing, how can Yang Guang willingly hand over the grain in the rear to us? ”
Li Mi smiled slightly: "As long as you do one, it will make Hebei chaotic and thieves everywhere." Liyang Cangcheng, which threatens Yang Guang, also threatens the army that goes to Goguryeo, he can put Zhang Xutuo to defend in Shandong, but Liyang Cang can only be handed over to you, big brother! ”
Yang Xuangan's eyes lit up: "How can I make Hebei chaotic?" ”
Li Mi nodded: "How did Wang Shichong make Qi County mess up, does the eldest brother know?" ”
Yang Xuangan said with a smile: "I know something about this, he did something through that Xu Gai, what kind of song did he do to Liaodong Lang, and then let Xu Gai's subordinates learn to sing, sneak back to their respective hometowns separately, and win over the low-level people who are desperate and unable to survive because of Yang Guang's tyranny, hundreds of people in a gang, thousands of people occupy the mountain as the king, and then merge, integrate all kinds of bandits, and merge into the three big forces of Changbai Mountain Wang Bo, Douzi Keng Geqian, and kill Hukou Lu Mingyue." If it weren't for the famous general Zhang Xutuo who arrived in time, defeated Wang Bo, and scared Ge Qian away, I was afraid that the land of Qi County would have been in chaos. ”
Li Mi said with a smile: "That's right, in fact, Wang Shichong has already looked for two candidates, one is Xu Gai in the land of Qilu, and the other is Dou Jiande in Hebei, these two are powerful characters, and there is a way to mess up the two places of Hebei and Qilu, Xu Gai has already succeeded halfway, if those three subordinates can join forces together and conquer Licheng, the capital of Qi County, maybe he will come out to take the lead himself, but before the momentum rises, he will be extinguished by Zhang Xutuo, and now he can only lurk and wait for the opportunity."
