Li Yuan recruited Li Mi with a book, and the letter was transmitted to Henan, but after Li Mi read it, he sneered again and again.
At this time, he had 300,000 troops, and the troops surrounded the eastern capital Luoyang, which can be described as the leader of the peasant army in the world. Especially if there are seven emperors at once today, this makes Li Mi, who was already a nobleman in Guanlong, also feel stupid.
He thought about it and felt that if it was today, even if it was Chen Pojun from Hebei, he would be able to compete with him. But now Yang Guang's princes, grandsons, and nephews all dare to be emperors, and they can't help but be moved.
At this time, he defeated the imperial court officials and troops one after another, if it was not for Wang Shichong to enter the eastern capital Luoyang, it would not be long before he could capture the center of the world, the eastern capital Luoyang. With great prestige, at this time, Zhai Rang, the leader of the Wagang Army, who was born as a small official, had already given him the position of the big leader with great interest.
After Li Mi became the big leader, he suddenly felt that the Wagang Army was very dissatisfied with the general practice of copycat bandits in the past. What is the big master, the second master, the third master, the fourth master, and the fifth master, in Li Mi's view, it is like child's play.
Now has 300,000 troops, Li Mi also has the idea of opening a dynasty and building a dynasty in his heart. Originally, the plan was to conquer the eastern capital and then establish a dynasty and become emperor. But who would have thought that Wang Shichong suddenly came out halfway, and it didn't take any effort, but he easily took the capital of the world. This made Li Mi almost vomit a few mouthfuls of blood, and he hated Wang Shichong from then on.
At present, Luoyang can't go down for a while, and Li Mi can't wait. At this time, seeing the letter sent to him by Li Yuan, he couldn't help but be annoyed. Li Yuan just seized a good opportunity, and actually occupied a large piece of territory in Hedong, and now he still dares to come to recruit himself.
Li Mi, who was angry in his heart, replied to Li Yuan at the moment, "Although it is different from the brother's faction, the root system is the same. Self-only and thin, for the heroes of the four seas to promote the alliance leader. Hope left and right, work together, hold the child in Xianyang, and merchant Xin in Muye, isn't it prosperous! The meaning is also very simple, which means that although you and I belong to different camps, there are two things in common: one is that both are surnamed Li, and they were their own family five hundred years ago; The second is that they are actually anti-Sui and have common interests. Therefore, we should strengthen cooperation.
Now I am only a shallow learner, and I am lucky to start a career in Luokou, and I am falsely spread to the Central Plains, and I am supported by heroes from all over the world. Although there are some achievements, the descendants of the Yang family are still there, and the Sui soldiers still exist. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard. Therefore, I want to work with my brother and Taiwan, work together, and help each other together. Isn't it strong to hold the child in Xianyang and kill the king in Muye?
In the end, Li Mi also made a proposal, that is, if Brother Tai is interested, he hopes to lead thousands of horses to Hanoi, cut white horses and swear, and form an alliance between Qin and Jin. How is it?
After writing this letter, Li Mi looked at Li Yuan, Wang Shichong, Chen Pojun, Yu Wenhua and others, and called them kings one by one. I couldn't sit still anymore, so I immediately called on the heroes of Wagang to persuade from my own heart. Li Mi ostensibly resigned three times, and finally decided to open a dynasty and establish a state.
However, he also told his subordinates that the eastern capital had not yet been captured, so he would not be the emperor for the time being. Build the Wei State, take Kim Yong City as the capital, set up an mandala, and call the Duke of Wei, and the year name is the first year of Yongping. Set up the official subordinates, with Fang Yanzao as the left long history, Bing Yuanzhen as the right long history, Yang Defang as the left Sima, and Zheng Detao as the right Sima. Worship Situ, Fengdong County Gong. Its generals have their own differences, worship Shan Xiongxin as the general of the left Wuhou, and Xu Shiji as the general of the right Wuwei, plus the prince of Donghai County. All the other bosses will be rewarded!
Li Mi's messenger sent the letter to Taiyuan, Li Yuan opened the letter and read it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, sure enough, everything was as Changshi Pei Lin said, and couldn't help laughing, "Yuan got the book, and said with a smile: "Li Mi is arrogant and arrogant, and he can't compromise it." We are now preparing to attack Guanzhong at a critical juncture, and we can't refuse him at this time, otherwise, we will add another enemy for nothing. It is better to humbly recommend the award to be proud of his ambition, and on the surface respect him as the leader of the alliance, so that he can besiege Luoyang with all his strength and dedication, so as to contain the soldiers and horses of Luoyang Wang Shichong. In this way, the soldiers and horses of the eastern capital are pinned, and we can go all out to the west. In the middle of the pass, according to the danger of raising the might, Xu Guan's clam momentum to collect the fisherman's work, not too late. ”…,
Pei Lin and others also praised one after another, the king of the Tang Dynasty endured humiliation, and Wang Tu could succeed.
Li Yuan asked Wen Daya to write back to Li Mi, he read a sentence, and Wen Daya wrote a sentence. "People are born to rule over them, and this rule is not who you are! I'm over 50 years old, and I can't think about it anymore. I am glad to cling to you, and the only hope is that you will soon accept the providence of Heaven for the peace of all peoples. At that time, because of the support of the brothers, I became the head of the clan alliance. It is very glorious to be enshrined in the Tang Dynasty. The current situation requires our brothers to work together to overthrow the Sui Dynasty, just like the past Zhou and Yin fought in Muye, and the fate of King Yin was decided in one battle, which is still uncertain; Like catching the children of the Qin Dynasty in Xianyang, I can't think about it yet. I hope that you can capture Luoyang as soon as possible, and then break through Chang'an, and then take down the imperial families of the Sui Dynasty one by one. Brothers are not talented, and they are willing to attach to the tail. I have nothing else to ask for in this life, I just hope to follow you to overthrow the Sui Dynasty in the future, and after you win the world, you can give me Hedong again, and let my Li family continue to attack the position of Tang Guogong. ”
A few days later, the letter reached Li Mi's hand, and Li Mi was overjoyed and laughed. He showed the letter that Li Yuan had given him in the palace of Kim Yong Cheng to his subordinates in Wagang and the other leaders of the peasant army who had come to join the alliance.
Seeing that everyone was passing to each other, Li Mi said proudly, "Even Tang Gong Li Yuan has recommended me, and the world is not unstable." ”
Hebei, Beijing City.
In the Yonghe Hall in the middle hall of Linshuo Palace, Chen Kefu summoned the ministers of the six ministries of the three provinces and the nine guards in Beijing.
This time, Chen Kefu intended to conquer Hedong and crusade against Li Yuan. On the one hand, it was to avenge Li Yuan's betrayal of him. On the other hand, it is because the Li family has become the target of public criticism at this time, and they bear the name of killing the king. And now he is still respecting Sui on the surface and supporting Yang Gao. In this way, then he must also need to conquer Li Yuan to avenge the first emperor. Moreover, at this time, he beat Li Yuan, and his teacher was famous and justified.
In ancient times, it was very important for the division to be famous. He fought Hebei, and he was a bandit, which was justified. And if you fight other Sui Dynasty forces, although Yang Gao is the crown prince, there is no argument for a while. But if it is to beat Li Yuan, then naturally no one will have any objections. Li Yuan bears the name of killing the king, and the local families in Hedong are definitely not willing to bear this notoriety with the Li family. At this time, it is the most appropriate time to send troops to Hedong, not to mention, now that Li Yuan's soldiers and horses are not strong, and the surrounding areas have to guard against other forces, it is naturally the best time.
The methods of Li Yuan's father and son, Chen Kefu has really seen it. Turn your hands into clouds, and cover your hands for rain. In the city of Taiyuan, all the people were played, and in the end, the fishermen benefited. Such a character is also what Chen Kefu fears the most, and if it is possible, he naturally hopes to eradicate it as soon as possible.
However, on the day of the main hall, many civil servants unanimously opposed the dispatch of troops. But it also made him have to think twice, these days, he has not mentioned the matter of sending troops for the time being. Instead, he was looking at the belongings of the imperial court with all his might.
I don't know if I don't know, and I'm shocked when I look at it.
When he was in Liaodong, he was rich and flowing. There are tens of millions of stones of grain and countless armor and equipment. Dozens of workshops in eastern Liaodong produced armor, weapons, bows and arrows, crossbow arrows, gunpowder and other workshops. But it has only been a year since the army was raised, and there is not much food in the imperial court. Even those workshops began to slow down production because of the lack of materials.
In the past, the Liaodong Army fought in the past, and its favorite routine was to suppress the enemy with a large number of crossbow arrows, and then use the cavalry troops to quickly break the formation, and finally encircle and suppress.
But in the end, the cost of crossbow arrows is more expensive than that of bows and arrows. After every battle, the rain of arrows was throwing gold all over the sky. Especially the cavalry of the Liaodong Army, the Liaodong Army is close to the border fortress, so their cavalry allocation ratio is very high, and even the ordinary infantry is basically transported on horseback, and only dismounts and fights on foot after the battle. It can be calculated from the logistics, the consumption of a war horse is several times that of an ordinary soldier. …,
People eat and chew, the battlefield consumes, and the homeless consume. The same consumption is counted together, and the belongings they have accumulated flow away like flowing water.
Seeing these bad data, Chen Kefu is also a big head, let alone those officials at home. However, although the situation is not good, Chen Kefu does not intend to really stop the war against Liaodong.
On the battlefield, everything changes in an instant, and the day is seized.
The situation of the Liaodong Army is not good, and the situation of the other forces that he misses is not much better. Everyone is similar, over the years, there have been basically peasant uprisings everywhere, and there have been tax increases and tax increases everywhere.
Now the fight is persistence, and whoever persists may go to the front.
During the war years, even if development is to be carried out, it must be carried out in the intervals of war. It is undoubtedly the real putting the cart before the horse at such an important and critical time to stop the war machine of the Liaodong Army and make every effort to develop the local area and resume production.
For Chen Kefu, the most important thing now is to fight for territory, and then to fight for population.
As long as the territory and population are sought, it is necessary to further consider the rear matters such as production. Everything has to revolve around war.
The east of the river must be fought, and the stability of the rear must also be achieved.
It seems that it is impossible to have both of them, but Chen Kefu must now find a working solution to the thorny problem at hand. These days, Chen Kefu racked his brains, thought about it, and felt that it was impossible to rely on conventional methods.
In this early winter season, even if you can really plant more crops, it will be too late. Even if you send people to hunt and catch fish, you will not solve the food crisis for millions of people. And it's not a matter of a day or two, there is still more than half a year between now and next year's harvest, which is a huge gap.
In the end, Chen Kefu had to decide that in extraordinary times, he could only do extraordinary things.
