Chapter Ninety-Three: The End of the Heroes (Part I)

"Du Rumei?" Chengdu, in the former Monozun Castle, Li Xuan looked at the decadent man in front of him with great interest and smiled.

"Grass people Du Rumei, see Emperor Yan!" The decadent man bowed slightly.

"The chief strategist of Tiance Mansion is not a grass people!" Li Xuan shook his head and looked at Du Rumei Dao.

"It's a pity ......" Du Rumei shook her head with a wry smile and said: "Now that I am in Dayan, the identity of Datang in the past is uncountable." ”

"So, is Mr. Du willing to join my court?" Li Xuan looked at Du Rumei with some surprise, as one of the top strategists of this era, Li Xuan had already thought of many ways to subdue this strategist, but the current situation seemed to be a little wrong.

"The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, since Du is in the Great Flame, he is naturally the shore of the Great Flame!" Du Rumei nodded casually.

"That's right, I've lost my eyes!" Li Xuan suddenly smiled, he had already understood what Du Rumei meant.

For a long time, Li Xuan's method of subduing Du Rumei was based on the premise that Du Rumei was loyal to Li Shimin, but now it seems that Li Xuan was wrong, Du Rumei can undoubtedly be called the top talent of this era, needless to say, her ability is needless to say, but her ambition is not ordinary.

Although he did not say it explicitly, Li Xuan had already drawn the conclusion he wanted from Du Rumei's attitude and tone, not so much that Du Rumei was loyal to Li Shimin, but that Du Rumei was loyal to the world, his goal, or ambition, was not to help the family and surname to calm the world, but to let the world return to unification, it sounded, the difference did not seem to be big, but in fact, it was far away, in layman's terms. Whoever has the best hope of dominating the world will be loyal to whomever he is!

In the past, Du Rumei was undoubtedly more optimistic about Li Shimin, but now that Li Shimin is dead, although Li Valve has become unprecedentedly powerful because of this, he has lost the enterprising king mentality of Li Shimin when he was alive. Li Jiancheng may not be much worse than Li Shimin in terms of ability, but some things have nothing to do with ability, some people are born emperors, while most people can only be ministers, no matter how high their ability is, they do not have the founding spirit of the emperor.

Li Jiancheng, although capable. But apparently he does not have the qualifications to become the lord of the world.

Compared with Li Valve, who lost Li Shimin, Du Rumei is obviously more optimistic about Li Xuan, with a territory and population comparable to Li Tang, but there is no phenomenon of tilting in the eyes of Li Valve.

"Since this is the case, I will temporarily order you to be the Yizhou Order, assist Yang Xiao, and govern the people's livelihood in Yizhou." looked at Du Rumei and commanded lightly, although Du Rumei was talented. is enough to become a talent like Xun Yu, but Da Yan has his own laws. There are laws to follow, and this set of laws and regulations for the promotion of people has been continuously revised by the two Song Dynasty eras, which can be said to be the peak of the feudal era, and it can be borrowed from the current era. The opportunity for the emergence of the imperial examination system has quietly integrated this physique into it with the continuous improvement of the imperial examination system.

"Minister, take the order!" Du Rumei bowed in gratitude, and then raised her head. looked at Li Xuan and said, "Your Majesty is in such a hurry to return to the court, but you are ready to send troops to Luoyang?" ”

nodded, not surprised that Du Rumei saw her intentions, and motioned for the other party to continue.

"At present, Luoyang is in the decisive battle between Li Mi and Wang Shichong, from the perspective of the battle situation, it is by no means the best time to send troops, but from the overall situation, Luoyang is the strategic center of gravity of the next north-south confrontation, between His Majesty and Li Tang, who can take the first step and occupy Luoyang, who will gain the initiative next!" Du Rumei looked at Li Xuan and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty obviously also sees this, and the minister has a strategy, look at Your Majesty's holy judgment!" ”

"Tell me about it." Li Xuan looked at Du Rumei with interest, and also wanted to see what kind of words this top strategist in the world had?

"Wagang Li Mi, although known as invincible, but in fact, since Li Mi and Zhai Rang turned against each other, Wagang has begun to go downhill, and the trend of internal division has emerged, especially after Li Mi killed Zhai Rang, although the internal contradictions in Wagang Village were temporarily suppressed by Li Mi, but as Li Mi attacked Luoyang for a long time, this contradiction will gradually become intense, His Majesty Xià sent troops to Luoyang this time, although he intended to Luoyang, but the minister thought that when he attacked Wagang first, Wagang would be completely reduced to a lonely city, and after a long war, the army was determined, The people's minds are determined, Your Majesty only needs to attack the heart, besiege but not attack, Luoyang will collapse without a fight! Du Rumei said eloquently: "Wagangzhai must be quickly resolved, otherwise once Li Mi and Wang Shichong join forces, this war will become a protracted war, and when Chang'an Li Tang reacts and sends troops, even if our army captures Luoyang, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and in the next situation of fighting for the world, it will be unfavorable to our army!" ”

"Not bad!" In Li Xuan's pupils, a ray of golden light flashed, and he nodded with a smile and said: "Du Qing's words are deeply heartfelt, after Bashu is stable, go to Luoyang to participate in politics!" ”

Such a top talent, although he is also a good hand at governing the place, is somewhat suspected of overkill, Bashu, too small, not enough for him to display his talents.

"Obey the order!" Du Rumei bowed down and received the order without being humble or arrogant.

"Yang Xiao!" Du Rumei retreated, and Li Xuan looked at Yang Xiaodao.

"The minister is here!" Yang Xiao took a step forward and bowed.

"Bashu is temporarily safe, but don't take it lightly, if Li Valve's offensive in Luoyang does not go well, Bashu will be the key place for the other party, and your burden is not light!" Li Xuan looked at Yang Xiao and smiled.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will protect Bashu in one day!" Yang Xiao bowed.

Some things were arranged, Fan Zhuo, Wolf King and other major leaders of the original Sichuan Gang and the Ba League, all had corresponding rewards, and the original two gangs were also incorporated into the Sichuan Army, which was uniformly dispatched by Yang Xiao, and Du Rumei was responsible for the internal affairs of Bashu, after all the arrangements were made, Li Xuan officially announced that after a day of rest, he would set off to rush back to Xiangyang, although he had already begun to prepare before the trip to Bashu, but the final general attack still needed Li Xuan to preside over the overall situation.

……

Chang'an, as the news of Yang Gong's treasure house spread all over the rivers and lakes, more and more people gathered in Chang'an, for a while, Chang'an dragons and snakes were mixed, even if Li Yuan mobilized all the garrisons in Chang'an to maintain law and order, it was still a little stretched, and the fights and vendettas in the city continued one after another, causing great trouble to Chang'an's public security.

But right now, what gave Li Yuan a headache was another thing, Heavenly Sword Song Que, on the second day after arriving in Chang'an, he openly challenged the Goryeo envoy, Master Yijian.

If you change the time and place, Li Yuan would like these two people to have a life-and-death showdown, it is best to lose both and die, but now, at this juncture, the two of them are in Chang'an, a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, but it is by no means the result that Li Yuan wants to see, Chang'an, which has gradually become a little chaotic because of the matter of Yang Gong's treasure house, because of the duel between Song Que and Fu Cailin, the two top masters in the world, will definitely attract more masters of the rivers and lakes.

It is conceivable that those hidden masters who were originally not interested in Yang Gong's treasure house, whether they were intentional or not, but the already turbulent situation in Chang'an was bound to move towards an even more unpredictable future because of the appearance of these people.

Song Que, he must have done it on purpose!

Sitting alone in his imperial study, Li Yuan thought with a somewhat ugly face, compared with the Great Yan Dynasty, the Li Tang Dynasty undoubtedly had many advantages in terms of heritage and strength, but at the level of top masters, Li Tang was more than one step behind the Great Yan, and sometimes, the role of a great grandmaster was no less than that of a well-trained army, otherwise, outside Luoyang City that day, Wang Shichong's 50,000 army would not have been defeated so quickly.

"Come on, spread Li Shentong!" After a long time, as if he had finally made a decision, Li Yuan raised his head and said in a deep voice outside the door, now, it is time for the world to know the background of Li Valve, master...... Naturally, Li valve also has.

……

Xingyang, Wagang Army Battalion.

"Mi Gong, the Southern Great Yan army may go north at any time, and now is by no means a battle of will, we must do our best to obtain an understanding with Wang Shichong, suspend a qiē plan for Luoyang, and join forces to resist the invasion of Great Yan!" Shen Luoyan looked at Li Mi anxiously, she didn't understand why Li Mi, who had always been wise and decisive, couldn't see through such a simple truth.

"Joke, at this time of the battle, there is only one step away from breaking through Luoyang, Shen Junshi said to stop at this time, wouldn't our previous efforts be in vain?" Wang Bodang sneered, with Shen Luoyan suffering two disasters in the hands of Li Xuan in a row, even Li Tianfan died because of this, although Li Mi has never blamed Shen Luoyan for this, but invisibly, Shen Luoyan's status is constantly declining, if it is placed in the past, Wang Bodang would never dare to talk to Shen Luoyan in this tone.

"But this time is different from the past, Luoyang may be taken tomorrow, but Dayan's army may arrive soon!" Seeing Li Mi's gradually firm look, Shen Luoyan anxiously tried to make a final effort.

"Enough!" Li Mi waved his hand, interrupted the dispute between the two sides, looked in the direction of Luoyang with a gloomy face and said: "Attack for another day, if you can't break Luoyang after a day, then temporarily withdraw your troops and hold Xingyang steadily!" Luoyan and the generals go down and prepare! ”

As for the mention of joining forces with Wang Shichong, Li Mi did not mention it.

The corners of Shen Luoyan's mouth moved, and he wanted to say something more, but he was pulled by Xu Shiji behind him, and now Li Mi has obviously made up his mind to attack Luoyang in one go, Luoyang has obviously become an obsession of Li Mi, and persuading him to give up at this time may only provoke Li Mi's anger.

Wang Bodang glanced at Shen Luoyan proudly, and with the high-morale generals leaving together, the battle of Luoyang had reached the most critical moment. (To be continued......)
