Hearing that Li Mi was going to cross the river and lead a large army to attack Luoyang, Fang Yanzao did not have much surprise on his face, showing that he had already known it, but Wei Zheng and Zu Junyan glanced at each other, but they did not expect it.

"What's wrong, is it unexpected?" Li Mi shook the feather fan lightly and said with a smile.

Wei Zheng lowered his head and said: "Fight for fame in the court, compete for profit in the city, attack the east and move the whole body, and attack it will be saved." ”

Li Mi waved the folding fan with a smile and said, "I understand what you mean, you are worried that if I attack the eastern capital, I will attract the Sui army to come to the rescue from all sides, and fall into a bitter battle, right?" ”

Wei Zheng lowered his head and said: "Pushan Gong is wise, I heard that if you want to cut down a big tree, you have to cut down its branches first, and then cut down its trunks. ”

Before Li Mi could speak, Fang Yanzao laughed on the side and said, "Brother Wei will be bewitched by Li Chongjiu if he goes to Shanggu. ”

Wei Zheng laughed twice, but did not refute. Fang Yanzao arched his sleeve robe and said: "At that time, Sima mistakenly persuaded the King of Qin to cut down Shu instead of Zhou, because Zhou Tianzi was still alive and had no fault, so he was notorious. And today, there is no way, and the people of all directions have risen up, eager to punish him. If Mi Gong can lead a large army to attack Luoyang, it is undoubtedly the hope of the world, and the people are all looking forward to it and conforming to the will of the people. ”

Li Mi listened to Fang Yanzao's words, smiled on his chin, and obviously agreed.

Wei Zheng saw that Li Miyi was very resolute, but he felt that he should be reluctantly persuaded, and said: "I heard that Luoyang, there are Zhang Xutuo, Pei Renji, Liu Changgong and other generals stationed in Luoyang, not to mention that Luoyang has convenient water transportation, once we come to attack, from Jiangdu, the Sui army of Zhuo County will inevitably come to the rescue from all sides, and our Wagang army is equivalent to fighting with the Sui army all over the world." ”

Fang Yanzao said with a smile: "Zhang Xutuo is brave and unscrupulous, both arrogant and ruthless, the secret prince can capture him in one battle, as for Pei Renji, Liu Changgong is even more exaggerated, and if our army attacks Luoyang, wouldn't it be better for the Sui army to come to the rescue from all sides, so that the troops in various places are empty, and the righteous army will inevitably be ten times better than before." ”

"I'm afraid someone will ...... fisherman"

Li Mi smiled and said: "Dou Jiande's letter has said that if my Wagang army captures Luoyang, he is willing to surrender to the entire Hebei, if I enter Hebei now, Dou Jiande is likely to fight with me, now Dou Jiande's momentum is not under my Wagang, if the two armies fight, it can only make the faint king laugh." In addition, Li Yuan, who stayed behind in Jinyang, also sent a letter. ”

Speaking of this, Li Mi's face showed a little pride. Li Yuan said in the letter, although I am inferior, fortunately inherited the remnants, now this year, more ambitious, fortunately have a younger brother, the Spring and Autumn Period is prosperous, seize Jiuding, who is the younger brother, the old man is willing to attach wings to the aftermath, and the heroes of the four seas to promote the leader of the alliance, the hope of the left and the right, the same heart, the son of the infant in Xianyang, in addition to the king of the king in Muye, is not a grand event. (Note 1)"

Thinking of this former handsome man, Tang Gong of the Li clan in Longxi, blindly humbled himself, Li Mi couldn't help but be ecstatic. He had great ambitions since he went to Wagangzhai, and he was determined to enter Luoyang, and then Li Chongjiu, Wei Zheng, Chai Xiaohe and other manpower persuaded him to temporarily pass through Hebei. At present, he has five counties in Hebei, with 200,000 people under his command and tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and his power is considerable. And now Li Yuan and Dou Jiande both support their attacks on Luoyang, if they capture Luoyang at that time, he will be the lord of the world, even if they don't support it, he also has the support of the people of the world. Why go to Hebei again to fight with Duan Da and Xue Shixiong, and fight with Dou Jiande for Hebei, that is not to weaken the power of the anti-Sui forces.

And what Li Chongjiu said is also very reasonable, but at the moment, the biggest enemy of the Wagang army is the Great Sui, not Li Yuan and Dou Jiande, it is not too late to unite with them to destroy the Sui first, and then divide the world. Now to defeat the Great Sui, someone must attack the eastern capital, and Li Mi feels that he should be benevolent.

At the southern foot of Yin Mountain, the green mountains are covered with snow, and a white-gray dirt road goes straight into the mountains and mountains.

On the white-gray dirt road, thousands of fierce Turkic warriors were riding their horses slowly, and in the middle of the procession, the braided Ashina Lifu was sending Li Yuan's envoy Liu Wenjing to the south. Liu Wenjing didn't dare to slack off, this Ashina Lifu is the younger brother of Shibi Khan, and now he is a mud step, in charge of the Turkic soldiers of the Eastern Tooth, and the other party is also one of the Turks who have the most insight into the situation in the Central Plains.

The two sides didn't talk for a few words, and Ashina Lifu pointed to the gray-white dirt road under his command, and said: "Mr. Liu, this road under our feet is the white road in your Han mouth, and it is only five days away from Pingcheng, and Shanyang County, Mayi County, where Dingyang Khan is now based, and you will soon be able to return to Tang Gong." ”

Seeing Ashina Lifu pointing out his own country, Liu Wenjing had a different mentality, the place under his feet turned out to be Dingxiang County, the northernmost county of the Great Sui, and the foot of Daqing Mountain at the southern foot of Yin Mountain. However, a year ago, it was this person and Shibi Khan's younger brother Ashina Dubi, that is, south of Yazhiyin Mountain, Mo He of the Wuyuan Tribes, who broke through Dali City in Dingxiang County and captured the whole county of Dingxiang.

Zhang Changxun, the county guard of Wuyuan County, became a brother with Ashina Dubi, and the whole county has surrendered to the Turks. Bai Yusao of Lingwu County gathered hundreds of thousands of people to surrender to the Turks. In addition, according to Mayi, Lou Fu, Liu Wuzhou of the three counties of Yanmen surrendered to the Turks. At present, the Turks have unknowingly drawn the six counties of the Great Sui to their side, and their power has extended from Yinshan to the south of the Great Wall.

However, although Liu Wenjing thought so in his heart, he said on his face: "This is thanks to the Great Khan, and the strong support of Nibu, so that the matter of the Tang Bus Generation can be completed so quickly." ”

Ashina Lifu laughed and said: "Don't say so much, speaking of this Baidao, Emperor Wei built Baidao City here back then, by the way, later Emperor Wei built Wuchuan Town here, in case we Hu people, if I am not mistaken, the ancestors of Tang Gong are also from Wuchuan Town." ”

Hearing this Turkic man say this, Liu Wenjing's face changed, and he secretly admired his insight into the Han human form. Liu Wenjing said: "Exactly, but not only Tang Gong, but also the Eight Pillars Country and the Twelve Generals were also from Wuchuan Town. ”

This Wuchuan town actually gave birth to the ancestors of the emperors of the Zhou and Sui dynasties, including the ancestors of Li Yuan.

Ashina Lifu shook the horsewhip, touched the iron beard on his chin with the other hand and said: "I have drunk this Wuchuan water together, so the two of us are not outsiders, this time Tang Gong wants to raise troops, and the Khan asked Kang Sheli and others to send a thousand horses to Taiyuan, and promised that if Tang Gong enters the customs, I Turkic people and horses will be what you need, but why is Tang Gong humble, as long as five hundred warriors and two thousand horses?" ”

Liu Wenjing's back was wet with cold sweat, and he whispered: "Thank you for your kindness, but if the Turkic army captures Guanzhong, the cost of cutting Su is huge, and it is not something we can provide, please be aware of this." ”

Ashina Lifu smiled and said, "Mr. Liu doesn't have to be nervous, I'm just bent on planning for Tang Gong." Since he didn't want to, he said it, but Tang Gong refused to talk about the time of the army for a while, saying that he needed to wait for the main force of the Sui army in Guanzhong to advance eastward, and Guanzhong was empty, which I didn't understand. ”

"I think if the troops are insufficient, Tang Gongda can use our Turkic army, didn't the Great Khan say, whatever you want. If Tang Gong shirks it again, I always feel that the sincerity is insufficient. ”

Liu Wenjing is also sweating profusely on his forehead now, and in this icy and snowy place, he said the truth from the bottom of his heart: "This is not Tang Gong's shirk, there are more than 100,000 main forces of the Sui army in the east, all of them are elite, if we attack Chang'an now, the main force of the Sui army in the eastern capital will inevitably go into the pass to relieve the siege, and then it will be able to fall short." Therefore, we can only wait for the Li Miwa Gang army to attack the eastern capital first, and even transfer the Sui army from Guanzhong to the eastern capital, so that we can be sure of attacking Guanzhong. ”

Liu Wenjing thought about what Li Yuan said to him before he came.

Li Mi is arrogant, and now if I attack Guanzhong, if I provoke him to anger, I will be another enemy. It's better for me to write a letter, and use humble excuses to reward and be proud of his ambition. Once Li Mi crossed the river to attack Luoyang, he made the way of Gao for me and embellished the troops of the eastern capital. And I have to concentrate on the westward expedition, wait for Guanzhong to be calmed, according to the danger to raise the prestige, Xu Guan's clam momentum to collect the fisherman's work, not too late. (Note 2) After Li Yuan finished speaking, he repaired a copy of the book to Li Mi in front of Liu Wenjing, saying that he was old and decaying, and Li Mi was young and enterprising, and he was willing to vassal him, and once he captured Luoyang, he would elect him as the lord of the world.

After listening to Liu Wenjing's explanation, Ashina Lifu said: "What Mr. Liu said is very reasonable, but if the Wagang army does not attack Luoyang for a day, then it is not that the Duke of Tang will not raise the flag against the Great Sui for a day." You must know that in order to fulfill your uprising, the Khan also persuaded Ashnanai (Note 3) to take refuge in your Li family. ”

Liu Wenjing knew that this Turkic man was really a terrible opponent, and he said at the moment: "Please rest assured, the Wagang army will definitely go south to attack the eastern capital, no later than March this year, and will never dare to deceive the Khan and you." ”

Ashina Lifu smiled slightly, and said: "Where do I still have someone who is not worried about Tang Gong, but it is just a joke." ”

Liu Wenjing listened to the sweat on his forehead, and said with a sigh of relief: "Thank you, if our army can enter Chang'an, according to the old proposal, the people's land will be transferred to the Tang Dynasty, and the gold and jade silk will be returned to the Turks." ”

Ashina Lifu raised his head and let out a wolf-like laugh, and said: "Just one word, if Tang Gong doesn't give it then, we Turks will go to Guanzhong to take it ourselves." ”

Liu Wenjing's body tightened, his face changed drastically again, and he buried his head deeply.

And in Yuyi Town, Li Chongjiu also received a letter from Li Mi to discuss Emperor Yang of Sui at this moment. Li Chongjiu sighed when he saw this, Li Mi endured more than half a year in history, and finally couldn't hold back and went south to attack the eastern capital. For Li Chongjiu, such a result is both a disadvantage and a benefit.

Of course, the disadvantage is Li Mi's move, and in the end, Li Yuan was cheaper. But as for the advantage, that is, since Li Mi gave up Hebei, then Li Chongjiu's opportunity to seize Hebei came, so he lost one of the biggest rivals in competition.

And with the Wagang army moving south, it is equivalent to the army of Liu Deng advancing into Dabie Mountain in later generations, and the attraction of the Sui army in the world is drawn to the eastern capital, so that the opportunity to oppose the king everywhere, including Li Yuan and Li Chongjiu, has arrived.
