"You're a rare opponent!" Knowing that a vicious battle was inevitable, Luo Yi looked at Li Xu again, from head to toe, as if he wanted to imprint him in his eyes. "The old man's knife is out of its sheath and cannot be taken back. I hope you will wake up in time. Don't go one way to the dark. Your kid is a talent, whenever you are willing to surrender, the old man will leave a place for you. ”

"The juniors will do their best for the six counties. If the veteran retreats in the face of difficulties, the juniors will never take the opportunity to retaliate! Li Xu said goodbye, neither humble nor arrogant.

"You! Attaboy! Luo Yi shook his head and immediately laughed out loud.

"The younger generation has always taken the general as a role model!" Li Xu also laughed, as if Luo Yi was really a friend of his.

Although they are opponents, there is a sense of pity in their hearts. If the Great Sui Dynasty was still as strong as it was ten years ago, Luo Yi might be able to defend the country side by side with Li Xu. If the strength in his hands is stronger, or the local foundation is deeper, it is difficult to say whether Li Xu will ignite the ambition to compete for the world like Luo Yi is now. Those are ifs, and the reality is that after turning around, the two will fight each other until one of them falls or retreats.

"You can't hold the six counties, listen to me, boy! The court is finished. Your Majesty can't support you! Those wealthy families will not work for you. Even if the old man doesn't beat you, others will beat you, and external enemies and internal strife will come alternately, and sooner or later they will drag you down. Although you rose quickly, after all, you have only been the governor of the six counties for two years. Most of them were fighting outside, and the foundation was not rooted at all! Before leaving, Luo Yi put aside their grievances and gave frank advice.

"Speaking of which, I would like to thank General Luo. The wealthy families of the six counties have always been disobedient to me, but as soon as the old general's soldiers arrived, the situation changed greatly! Li Xu grinned, his eyes revealing a bit of mischievous young people.

"Oh?" Luo Yi was flustered again, and immediately figured out the cause and effect. Those so-called wealthy families are dissatisfied with Li Xu, and they are even more afraid of Dou Jiande and themselves. Although the two good policies of imperial examination and tuntian that Li Xu picked up from the abolition of the government of this dynasty were detrimental to the interests of the family, the immediate damage was not obvious. Most of the land divided among the six counties was the barren land where the owner had died or fled, and there were also large families who profited from reclamation. As for the imperial examination, there are also many sons and nephews of wealthy families who have won the imperial examination, and they may not accept Li Xu's favor. Therefore, although the wealthy families of the six counties looked down on Li Xu, they had no big enmity with him.

Especially when the power of the imperial court is declining, the wealthy families of the six counties must choose a new master who can ensure their interests to the greatest extent. If Dou Jiande swept Hebei, many people's family property would definitely be robbed by the rogues under his command. If Luo Yi wins the six counties, he will have to reach out to some people to ask for money. Only Li Xu is not as strong as Luo Yiqiang, and he doesn't dare to blindly do it. The heart is not as ruthless as Dou Jiande, and he does not have the idea of being rich and poor. Compared with the three parties, choosing him makes the wealthy family feel the most at ease, so it is logical to give him some support.

"But don't expect anything from them!" After understanding the joints, Luo Yi sneered and reminded, "Those national beetles only have their own family in their eyes, and they never care about the safety of the society, let alone the lives of the people. As for conscience and morality, I am afraid they don't recognize these words at all. If you can beat the old man and other heroes, the national beetles will naturally become more and more obedient to you. If you lose power, you don't need the old man's orders, I'm afraid they will stab you in the back immediately! ”

"Thank you for the reminder!" Li Xu smiled bitterly, not knowing whether he should thank Luo Yi or hate this moody guy. "The juniors will naturally be cautious and not let the seniors win too easily. As for the envoy sent by Youzhou to Hengshan County, I will release him back in a few days. Du Baoxiang has been sent by me to envoy Hedong, and the county guard of Hengshan has also been replaced. ”

"Count you kid ruthless, take advantage of the situation when I'm not familiar with the situation!" Luo Yi's old face turned red, laughed dryly, and turned over on the horse.

"The younger generation and Liu Wuzhou are also old friends!" Li Xu reminded with a smile.

Luo Yi on horseback paused, wanting to say something to fight back, but in the end he didn't say it. Shook the reins and walked away. Li Xu watched Luo Yi leave, turned around and jumped off the boat, and the twenty guards rowed the oars and arrived at the south of Yishui in an instant.

On the shore, Zhou Daniu led a battalion of soldiers waiting, and when he saw the return of the commander, he hurriedly led the war horse. Li Xu, Lu Qin and others walked side by side, discussing the situation in front of them as they walked.

"Luo Yi was almost angry when he killed, especially when General Lu scolded him for being a bandit. The old thief's face was red and blue, how ugly it was! Wang Suba felt that he was enjoying himself, and said to everyone with a smile.

"But the battle will go on. If phosgene can make him angry to death, we will save trouble! "Lüchin is not as happy as the others. He has fought with Luo Yi many times, but each time he has not gained the upper hand. Therefore, I know that the road ahead is difficult, and I dare not take it lightly.

"What are you afraid of, there is a general here, and we are still afraid of Old Man Luo?" Wang Xuba blindly trusted Li Xu, and asked with a smile.

"That's right, all the responses today didn't go beyond the general's expectations. Although Old Man Luo has strong troops, his strategy may not be as good as our general! Guo Fang took Wang Xuba's words and slapped Li Xu's sycophants.

Their group only arrived at the front line in the upper valley yesterday. Before he could catch his breath, he received an invitation to meet Luo Yi. At that time, both the German side and Fang Yannian were afraid of Luo Yi's deception and did not approve of the coach contacting him personally. After Li Xu analyzed the nature of the enemy generals and the gains and losses, he thought that this side must be seen.

First, from the rhetoric of both sides, we can find out what Luo Yi's bottom limit is, and whether the Youzhou Army's will to fight is great.

Second, by knocking on the side, he may be able to disturb Luo Yi's mind, and then achieve the purpose of containing his troop deployment.

In the end, it turned out that Luo Yi, the general manager of Youzhou, was indeed caught off guard by Li Xu's sudden appearance. During the whole meeting, the old thief did not gain any upper hand, but exposed the weakness of the emptiness in his rear and the instability of internal affairs.

"General Luo will not be as bad as he appears. On the one hand, the reason why he suffered from gains and losses was that we appeared suddenly, and he was not prepared at all in advance and was caught off guard. On the other hand, he wants us to despise him and fight him quickly as soon as possible! Li Xu interrupted everyone's discussion and concluded with a smile.

"The old thief is indeed not in vain!" Lu Qin very much agreed with the commander, "If only the general didn't tell him that we were going to send light cavalry to attack him back." Taking advantage of the old thief's defenselessness, let's turn his backyard upside down first! ”

"I'm afraid I won't see the effect for a while." Li Xu shook his head lightly, "The reason why I said that to General Luo was to force him not to dare to toss around in our land." He can smash our upper valley, and we can smash his Yuyang and Jixian. Rather than that neither side can benefit from each other, it is better to have restraint. Besides, his army is outside, and the back road will not be unguarded at all. If we send fewer people, it is equivalent to sending them to death, and if we send more people, the dispatch of troops will be affected again! ”

"At least scare him!" Lu Qin smiled bitterly, his face full of worry about the war, "If the battle lasts too long, it will be very bad for us." Dou Jiande is eyeing Xindu, and the attitude on the Hedong side is not very clear. As soon as they take advantage of the opportunity, we will be attacked on our backs. Although Luo Yi's old thief is hateful, he is right to remind him today, the guys who see the wind and rudder find that our strength is not as good as others, and they will definitely fall into the ground! ”

"They didn't make trouble during the time when I cheated and buried my name, and they have already given me a lot of face!" Li Xu sighed, feeling very disturbed by the heroic attitude under his rule. Those people are ultimately unstable, and sooner or later they will cause him big trouble. However, blindly relying on military conquest may not solve the problem. After being an official for a long time, he naturally becomes a wealthy family, and his way of acting is almost no different from that of traditional wealthy families.

The recent actions of Du Gui Du Bao Xiang are a clear example. This person was born in the imperial examination, and it stands to reason that he should fully support the new policy. But after hearing that Li Xu was dead, his first thought was to receive the soldiers and horses from Hedong into the six counties, and then tried to collude with Dou Jiande's forces. If Li Xu hadn't come back early, maybe Luo Yi's envoy would have reached an agreement with him. In that case, Lu Qin and Zhao Ziming will definitely be in chaos, and some of the people at both ends of the rat will immediately fall to Youzhou.

On the contrary, the Boling Cui family, which had been suppressed by Li Xu, stood very firmly on the side of the Boling Army and categorically rejected Luo Yi's wooing. Shanggu County Shou Cui Qian is the most capable of changing the tide of the battle, but he has been doing his best to help Lu Qin stabilize the defense line for more than half a month, and he is not moved by the generous conditions promised by Luo Yi.

"The general doesn't need to worry about this. If you eat too much rice, you will always encounter half of the sand. There are bastards who forget their righteousness in the poor family, and there are also real heroes in the wealthy family! The reason why they were able to toss the storm is because we have our own problems. If you can make a decree so that Haoqiang will not be able to influence your decision-making from now on, and will not be able to interfere in military and political affairs, no matter how big their family business is, what can they do? "When the German side saw that the lord would be distracted by internal affairs, he smiled and made plans for him." For now, let's concentrate on dealing with Luo Yi first, defeat him, and you can kill the chicken to show the monkey! No one dares to act rashly! ”

"You're right!" In the confusion, Li Xu seemed to see a glimmer of light. But how to do it and where to go, he still needs to carefully consider it and slowly explore. The most important thing right now is not to address the potential threat, but to get rid of Luo Yi. After all, as long as you can stay strong, the internal threat will not find a chance to attack. If he is defeated by Luo Yi, he will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the six counties, and internal and external troubles will break out at the same time, and that is the time when he should really be troubled.

He had no room for further defeat, not the slightest.
