Li Xin did not stay long in the Shaolin Temple, after the meeting of Master Hui'an, the next day he led the army westward, this time not to cross the Yellow River, but directly into Nanyang, through the Wuguan, and then into the Guanzhong. Prepare to return to Lanzhou Jincheng from the Guanzhong Plain.

And in Luoyang, after the fall of Xingyang, Li Mi did not stop his expansion, he captured Luokou again, for a time the momentum was shocked, Luokou piled up countless granaries, so that Li Mi completely bid farewell to the previous life of relying on the interception of canal grain and grass, and he said to the people around him: "This grain is not only I can enjoy, you can also come to get it." "For a time, hundreds of thousands of people came one after another, everyone dragged their families to carry grain and grass, Li Mi took the opportunity to select tens of thousands of strong people inside, Shan Xiongxin, Wang Bodang and other warriors on the green forest road came to Li Mi, Li Mi's strength increased again, plus his reputation, for a time Li Mi's Pushan battalion became the most powerful force in Wagangzhai, even Zhai Rang was not his opponent.

After Li Mi heard that Li Xin had left Songshan, he immediately gathered everyone and said: "Yang Tong, the king of Yue, is just a child, and now he has driven away Li Xin, Pei Renji and other generals have left, and Luoyang City has also fallen into a state of emptiness. What does the Great Chief think? Li Mi looked at Zhai Rang, who was sitting on the side, and said.

Zhai Rang suddenly showed embarrassment when he heard this, and said: "The county prince's strategy is feasible, the county prince can be the vanguard, and I will sit behind the Wagangzhai Palace." All three armies were dispatched by the county duke. ”

Li Mi was stunned when he heard this, but he looked at Zhai Rang in disbelief, Zhai Rang's words were not said casually, this was the rhythm of him to give up the position of leader! However, Li Mi was not proud, but he did not shirk either, and the nominal position of the leader made it more convenient for Li Mi to act.

Yang Tong, the king of Yue, also remembered Li Xin's order, but unfortunately, at this time, Zhang Xutuo had been killed in battle, and Pei Renji left Luoyang. He followed this Li Xin to the northwest, and he had no available generals at all. Duan Da came out at this time, and after losing Xingyang, although he really wanted to press this charge on Li Xin, in the end, he still had a bit of face, and while scolding Li Xin in his heart, he still tried his best to find an opportunity to defeat Li Mi. So he wrote to the king of Yue, and once again recruited soldiers and horses in Luluoyang, and asked Liu Changgong to make meritorious service and attack Li Mi. King Yue actually agreed to this ridiculous decision. He also had no way to disagree, and lost Xingyang, which made the connection between Luoyang and Yangzhou even worse, and Yang Tong decided to recapture Xingyang, defeat Wagangzhai, and prove himself to the world.

It's a pity that Liu Changgong disappointed him again, this guy thought that Li Mi had carried out a trick to let him fail last time. This time, he is ready to fight quickly, ready to defeat Li Mi in one fell swoop. Li Mi once again played tricks at this time, he caught Liu Changgong's mind of a quick decision, and invited Liu Changgong to fight a decisive battle in Shizihe. And face the duel east of the Shizi River. The guy divided his army into ten teams. Let the three teams play against the army against Liu Changgong, the number is relatively small, and it looks loose, not like an elite division at all. On the contrary, it was more like a straggler, Liu Changgong was so happy in his heart that he didn't even eat breakfast. and ordered the great army to attack. Li Mi resisted every day, and the resistance was very hard, but the human body was also limited, and the Sui army didn't even eat breakfast, how long could he last?

Li Mi soon found an opportunity, and when the body of the Sui army was almost consumed, he led the rest of the army to attack suddenly, and easily defeated Liu Changgong again, Liu Changgong deserved to be Liu Changgong, and fled again, but it was a pity that the countless grain and grass baggage he brought were cheaper than Li Mi, and after Li Mi got these grain and grass baggage, his momentum soared, and he once again got an overwhelming advantage in Wagangzhai, Zhai Rang could no longer pose a threat to him, and he simply supported Li Mi as the main and stood aside, Guarding these years and seizing a small life.

When Li Xin received the news, he had entered the Guanzhong Plain, and the acting king in Guanzhong recruited Li Xin into Daxing City again, but Li Xin refused because his body was not healed and he was not good at doing so, and he had already been under house arrest once, how could Li Xin enter Daxing City again, he saw the eldest grandson Wujian in Juxian County, and after some advice, he was ready to return to Lanzhou with the eldest grandson Wujian, but was rejected by the eldest grandson Wujian.

"San Lang is a person who does great things, at this stage, the Great Sui is still the world of the Yang family, unless San Lang holds high the banner of righteousness and raises troops to rebel, but now San Lang is ready?" At night, the eldest grandson Wujian leaned in front of Li Xin and said softly: "I heard that Li Yuan put his son and daughter in Daxing? He is now staying in Taiyuan, he is like this, can't San Lang? ”

"It's different." Li Xin looked outside, the cold wind was raging, at this time it was already the winter of the twelfth year of the Great Cause, and it was not long before the end of the Great Sui Dynasty, Li Xin didn't want to let his woman and son still stay in the dangerous place of Daxing.

"Don't worry, Saburo has recently met a person, and with her, she will definitely protect our safety." The eldest grandson said with a smile. There was a hint of smugness in his eyes.

"Who is it? I really didn't know that in Daxing City, there were still people who had the audacity to say that they could protect your safety? "Li Xin is also very curious, at this time in Daxing City, Wei Wensheng, Yin Shishi and others are all members of the Guanlong family, and the rest are in secret, Wei's family, Dugu family, etc. are all representatives of the Guanlong family, these people are either Li Xin's enemies, or Li Yuan's allies, if Li Yuan really rebels, these people will either help Li Yuan, or help Yang Yu, but they will definitely not help Li Xin.

"Dauphin Webster." The eldest grandson said proudly.

"The crown princess?" Li Xin thought of that seductive body in his mind, and soon he left this seductive body behind, but thought about the things in front of him, now who in the world doesn't know that he and Luoyang's Yue King don't deal with things, the crown princess Wei is close to the eldest grandson Wujian at this time, if there is no idea, it is almost impossible. What does she want to do?

"Yes, Wujian sees that she wants San Lang to support the king to ascend the throne and become the emperor." The eldest grandson Wujian said what Wei Shi thought in one mouthful, and said: "Even this is Guan Zhong Wei Shi's idea, after all, if you support other people, where is it appropriate to support your nephew." ”

"What do you think?" Li Xin was surprised by his wife's keen political gaze, and I am afraid that only the eldest grandson Wujian has this kind of thought.

"Daxing's court still looks very calm, whether it is Wei Wensheng or the Guan Long family, they did not destroy the Daxing court, but made them operate normally, but in fact, in secret, those dignitaries and nobles in Daxing City are hesitating, Wei Wensheng and others agree that they will support the king as the emperor, and the Guan Long family controls the power of the court, and there is also a saying that another person is selected to replace the Yang family, and the Dugu family is this idea." The eldest grandson Wujian said softly: "I don't know what the Wei family thinks, or support the acting king, because the acting king is the nephew of the Wei family, or support the second idea, but the crown princess definitely supports the acting king." Becoming the acting king, she is the queen mother, her power and prestige are not comparable to ordinary family women, if someone else becomes the emperor, is the crown princess still the crown princess? ”

Li Xin nodded, it can't be said that the crown princess's idea is not wrong, but her statement is absolutely wrong, because at this time, the Guan Long family may have already made a decision to support Li Yuan's ascension, which can be seen from supporting Li Yuan to stay in Taiyuan and sitting on one side, if nothing else, Li Yuan will raise troops to the south next year and seize the throne, leaving little time for Li Xin, and even less time to stay in Wei's family.

"What benefits did the crown princess give me?" Li Xin suddenly asked again.

"She didn't say, or that Merriam-Webster was hesitating." The eldest grandson hesitated for a while, shook his head and said.

"It's not that she didn't say it, it's not that Daxing Webster is hesitating, it's that they're ready to hold me back." Li Xin suddenly said disdainfully: "He is dragging me down and preventing me from raising troops to the east." Yes, it must be. Li Xin suddenly thought of this possibility, his voice gradually got higher, he thought of a possibility, he can be said to have fallen out with the eastern capital Luoyang, originally they could have defeated themselves in Guanzhong, but there were 6,000 people following their army, such a huge army plus their own martial arts, not Daxing Those people can resist. So it's very simple to drag yourself and confuse yourself.

"So the crown princess is confusing me?" The eldest grandson Wujian's face suddenly looked a little unpleasant, if so, she was deceived, and almost affected Li Xin, if so, the eldest grandson Wujian would not be able to forgive herself.

"No, the crown princess must have been hidden." Li Xin shook his head and said, "She didn't lie to you. If her son becomes the emperor, then she is the queen mother, if someone else becomes the emperor, is she still the queen mother? In the future, when the emperor worships his ancestors, where will she have her share. So she didn't lie to you, but the people behind her lied to her. In history, Li Yuan finally became the emperor, and this emperor was very easy to do, the Guanzhong family had no objection at all, and the dignified Wei family had no objection, and even a few Wei family women even became the daughters-in-law of the Li family in the future. Therefore, Li Xin can conclude that the crown princess Wei did not know that the new emperor ascended the throne, and her son would definitely die, even she, the queen mother. As long as it is a person, this kind of thing will not be allowed to happen. This is Li Xin's chance.

"Innocent, send someone to invite the crown princess to come, I need her help, and at the same time she needs my help." Li Xin smiled at the corner of her mouth, the crown princess was able to find the eldest grandson Wujian, not only what the person behind her ordered, but also her own meaning. She is a smart person who knows that she needs an alliance, and Li Xin is the best candidate, and Li Xin also needs the crown princess, because he needs righteousness. Acting as the king is righteousness, no matter how rotten the Great Sui is, in the future, the Great Sui is the great righteousness. (To be continued......)
