During the day, it was the Weicheng camp of the Wagang Army that fought against Li Xu, which originally belonged to the Weicheng thief Zhou Wenju. Their level of training and combat effectiveness are poor, but the backbone of the captured generals is really impressive. Zhang Xutuo killed four people in succession before he heard something he wanted to know from the mouth of the fifth prisoner who was taken into the Chinese military tent. It's a pity that the fifth person who was escorted into the Chinese army only had the official position of a Renyong lieutenant, a low-level officer who belonged to the twentieth rank in the Wagang army system, and he knew not much more than the prisoners captured in the previous battles and confessed, which was not enough to help Zhang Xutuo judge Li Mi's strategic intentions.

"Take the remaining captives to the baggage camp, and don't treat them too harshly! After arriving in Xingyang, it was still handed over to Lao Xu to deal with! Zhang Xutuo waved his hand and ordered the rest of the captives to be taken away. The Renyong Captain of the thief army is only equivalent to a team of officers and soldiers, and he has reached the lowest level. The officers under him knew even less, and it was in vain to ask. So let's save some time and sit together to discuss countermeasures.

Several civilian aides took the situation map of Dongjun, Dongping, Jiyin, Liangjun, Xingyang and other places, and put them together in a large piece underground. Qin Shubao, Li Xu, Luo Shixin and other high-ranking generals surrounded and pointed at the sheepskin map. The Great Sui has not experienced war for many years, and its armament is empty, so the map used is still from the previous dynasty. Many of the villages are not as good as everyone knows, and the roads are far from what they know. Some of the trails that once existed in the former dynasties have long been abandoned, and some of the places that were not inhabited at all in the former dynasties have become a large collection at this time.

"The map is too rudimentary, so the Wagang army took advantage of the head snake!" Luo Shixin squatted down, poked his fingers at the yellowed sheepskin, and complained.

"Roads and people will move, but mountains won't go!" Zhang Xutuo didn't look up, and replied casually. His eyes have been focused on the way forward, this time, the county soldiers chose a relatively difficult route, through Jibei, Dongping two counties into the east county. At present, everyone is at the junction of Jiyin, Dongping and Dongjun, and they are still far from the goal.

The Wagang group of thieves has begun to lay out at such a distance, and they don't know how big a trap is hidden behind them. Therefore, Zhang Xutuo had to be more vigilant, while repeating the mistakes of General Feng.

"After Li Mi's toss, the combat effectiveness of the Wagang Army is not as good as before. So adults don't have to take the enemy's arrangement too seriously, Li Mi arranged him, let's do ours, everything is careful! Wu Yulin, the Cheng of Beihai County, saw the solemn expression on Zhang Xutuo's face, and smiled and explained. He had fought against the Wagang Army, so he was very impressed by the team led by Xu Maogong. But through the battles in the last few days, he was surprised to find that the strength of the current Wagang army was not comparable to the team led by Xu Maogong that day. If the team led by Xu Maogong that day is compared to a group of wild wolves, the recent Wagang army is a group of hares. As soon as there is a stir, it will immediately disperse.

"Li Mi has just taken over Wagang and needs time to consolidate his power. It's true that he likes to be exaggerated, but he also has the ability, otherwise Yang Su, the Duke of Chu, would not have respected him back then! Zhang Xutuo shook his head, disagreeing with Wu Yulin's opinion. In his eyes, half of the weakness of the Wagang Army is due to Li Mi's deliberate use of weak brigades to meet the battle, in order to disguise its true strategic deployment. The other half is that the Wagang army has just begun to expand, and it will take time for all the troops and horses to be integrated into one place. If time is added, with Li Mi's ability to attract talents, coupled with Xu Maogong's ability to refine soldiers, and Zhai Rang's grace and generosity, this army will surely make everyone's hearts tremble.

"Yang Su may not have been able to see it accurately back then, otherwise, with Li Mi's great ability, how could he have been defeated by Zhong Jian again and again?" Luo Shixin stood up from the ground and said as he moved his muscles and bones. He will always belong to the Optimist faction and is very confident in the strength of his side. And that guy was beaten by Zhong Jian so much that he didn't even dare to go back to the nest back then, leaving Yang Xuangan and secretly fleeing halfway! When you meet an old opponent again this time, how can you not be afraid in your heart? ”

"That may be one thing down one thing, maybe Zhong Jian is Li Mi's nemesis!" Qin Shubao smiled and cheered for his side. He knew very well that the situation was not the same as it is now. At that time, the official army of the Great Sui was fighting fiercely with the outside world, and Li Mi stabbed Yang Xuangan in the back to his own people, which was really unpopular. Not only did the soldiers and soldiers hate him to the core, but many people of insight in the world also despised his behavior. And now, the troubled times have come, and people hope to find a big backer to get a head start. Li Mi's surname and the signboard of the Wagang Army have a cohesive force. Even if its name in Henan counties cannot be regarded as expected, at least a large number of local big families secretly communicate with them in private.

"This time, that time. Back then, Li Mi didn't have any right-hand men under his command, but now those people under his command are all famous! Zhang Xutuo still shook his head, his face solemn. He understands Qin Shubao's intentions, but the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, as the main general who controls the life and death of tens of thousands of brothers, it is better to be cautious or cautious.

"Or, General Li said. What about Li Mi's use of soldiers? Since the topic was on Li Xu's head, Wu Yulin arched his hand and asked for advice.

"Li Mi doesn't like to follow the rules when using soldiers. Back then, under Liyang City, it was very dangerous for the Xiongwu camp to defeat him. Almost all of the tricks he used were things I didn't expect! One after the other! Asahiko recalled and replied honestly.

He was not too afraid of dealing with Li Mi. But when he thought that there was a Xu Maogong under the other party's command, he felt very uncomfortable. That feeling contains a little fear, a little scruples, and countless deep regrets.

The terrain of Dongjun is complex, and the grass and trees in front of him are very similar to the scene he saw when he first stepped into the range of Yanshan. The mountains are tall and magnificent, the trees are tall and burly, and even the wind on the tips of the grass and the clouds in the sky exude the same atmosphere and desolation.

But this time, he and Xu Maogong are no longer good partners who encourage and support each other, but calculate how to take each other's lives. This cannot but be said to be a kind of sorrow in life, but this sorrow will accompany him for a long time to come.

"Zhong Jian is really not modest, Li Mi is very wise, but you easily defeated him. When you say this, don't you boast that you are ten times more powerful than him? Luo Shixin didn't hear the depression in Li Xu's tone, reached out and punched him, laughing and joking.

"It's not that I'm more talented than him, it's that I led my troops to defend the city that day, and he led the troops to attack the city. The walls of Liyang are tall, and the defending side is already very advantageous. And the situation was urgent for him at that time, otherwise he would be surrounded by other reinforcements who rushed under Liyang City. So, he prepared in a hurry, and the real effectiveness of most of the strategies did not come into play! Li Xu glanced at Luo Shixin and replied solemnly.

"No matter how high his scheming is, he will lead a group of rabble!" Luo Shixin was still unconvinced, "He took Xu Maogong's position, and those people under Xu Maogong may not be willing to obey him." At present, although there are many heroes in the Wagang army, except for Cheng Zhijie, Shan Xiongxin and the half-grown child surnamed Xie, most of the others have their names. Like Zhou Wenju, Wang Dangren and Wang Bodang, they were all bandits who ran away when they saw our banner before......."

"Back then, Li Mi's command was also a group of shipwrights who had just picked up weapons, and they still attacked the head of Liyang City twice!" Li Xu didn't wait for Luo Shixin to finish speaking, so he interrupted him. "Shixin, let's be cautious, if Li Mi hadn't been fully prepared back then, Liyang City might have been broken by him. And, as far as I know, Xu Maogong is very broad-minded and will not ignore the overall situation and deliberately drag Li Mi's hind legs! ”

He spoke in a hurried tone, with a faint hint of justifying his friend. When everyone heard this, although they didn't understand the hidden meaning, their attitude was much more serious than before. "General Li has a point, it doesn't hurt for us to be cautious! Xu Maogong is indeed a talent, but it's a pity that he was used by thieves! Wu Yulin thought about it and agreed.

"As far as I know, in addition to Xu Maogong, Li Mi also has Wu Heimin, Zhang Liang, Niu Jinda and others, all of whom are heroes that cannot be ignored!" Li Xu took Wu Yulin's words and continued. Afraid that everyone would take it lightly after hearing these unfamiliar names, he tirelessly added, "These people fought with me in Liyang City back then, and their martial arts are not under Shixin and me. In addition, that Niu Jinda is also good at temporary scheduling, and he can win or lose without chaos. ”

"Shixin needs to remember these people, and don't be careless when you encounter them in front of the battle in the future!" Zhang Xutuo glanced at Luo Shixin, who kept shaking his head, and advised.

"Them?" Luo Shixin's nose was a little crooked, but he didn't dare to directly confront Zhang Xutuo, lowered his head, and said aggrievedly, "The last general remembers, as long as he encounters it, he will immediately take out twelve points of ability." If you find that the situation is not good, simply ask Brother Shubao for help! ”

His angry appearance caused everyone to laugh, and after enough laughter, Zhang Xutuo comforted him gently: "You and Zhong Jian's martial arts are not under Shu Bao, but Shu Bao's experience in facing the enemy is much higher than that of the two of you. He is in his forties this year, and the two of you are not yet twenty, and the future is long. Speaking of this, perhaps because he remembered his age, he couldn't help but sigh, "The old man is not the age of recklessness, so you young people, don't laugh at me for being timid." We don't want to do much in this trip, we just want to be able to stop the enemy's majesty, and then put the brothers into Xingyang safely! ”

"Why do you say this, I will wait for everything according to the arrangement of the adults!" Luo Shixin hurriedly stepped forward and apologized.

"The old man is not complaining that you are bold." Zhang Xutuo smiled and waved his hand, "The old man is uneasy, and he always feels that he is falling into the trap step by step." And where the trap is, I don't know clearly! ”

After listening to Zhang Xutuo, everyone also felt a little frustrated. Brother Qi had almost never fought with others in the past. But it's useless to look ahead and look backward at the moment, and the battle that should be fought still has to be fought. This time, the emperor hinted that everyone should do their best by promoting several major generals. If there is no report of the results in a short period of time, I am afraid that the next time the Lord of the Chincha will bring it, it will not be a reward.

"Otherwise, let's show weakness too?" Li Xu thought for a while and said.

"How to show weakness? Zhong Jian wouldn't suggest that if we encounter these little thieves in Wei Chengying, we have to go around, right? Luo Shixin raised his eyebrows again, his eyes widening.

"Just now Master Zhang said that Li Mi has not yet completely convinced the generals of the Wagang army, so even if he can get Xu Maogong's support, he urgently needs a victory to prove himself." Li Xu nodded and said.

In the past few days, the Wagang army has been fighting with the county soldiers with the old and weak on the periphery, and the county soldiers have been showing the enemy to be strong. Both sides were careful with their opponents, and neither showed their true strength. It's like two generals fighting each other right away, because they were jealous of each other, so they didn't do their best at first. But after a bunch of false tricks, they were all thinking about how to give each other a fatal blow.

Judging from the experience of instant killing, when the fatal hit is shot, a big flaw will also be revealed. That moment of lightning is an opportunity for both sides, and it depends on who can grasp it!

"What Zhong Jian means is that Li Mi is more anxious than us!" Zhang Xutuo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stroked his beard and asked.

"We are in a hurry, we know it in our hearts, but the enemy may not know it! And judging from Li Mi's previous style of doing things, he is not a very calm person. Li Xu nodded and responded. The adults suspect that he has set a trap for us in front of us, but I don't know where to go. Why should we go in the direction he leads? There are many ways to Xingyang, since we are playing in the name of moving defense, why not move more like this! ”

"As long as we don't get close to Dongjun, all the arrangements of the Wagang Army will come to naught. Li Mi has already mobilized more than a dozen cottage soldiers and horses this time, if this battle does not start at all in the end, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to explain to the group of heroes at that time. Li Xu frowned and analyzed in a low voice.

Li Mi's behavior is unreasonable, and everyone does not respond to him with common sense. The last time he defeated him, he took advantage of his shortcomings of being eager to make meritorious contributions, and this time, he can still make a fuss about this.

"Let's bypass Dongjun and enter Xingyang from Chenliu and Daliang! That's a great idea! Zhang Xutuo nodded, admitting that Li Xu's method was feasible. But will the imperial court think that the county soldiers are passively avoiding war? There are examples of Yu Kura being unjustly killed, who dares to take such a risk so easily?

"Our army bypassed Dongjun, but did not enter Xingyang City! Then, "Li Xu's hand drew a huge curve on the map, from Dongjun and Jiyin all the way to the junction of Liang County and Xingyang County," if Li Mi can't bear to chase it, the location of the decisive battle will be chosen by us. The benefits of the terrain on which they relied were lost. If Li Mi is patient and doesn't come to chase," Xuzi's fingers hooked back from several small counties in Xingyang County, and headed east again, "Let's turn around from the sour jujube and pounce on the city, and the Wagang army will be caught off guard!" ”
