Five days later, Li Yizhi, with Shen Luoyan as his military division, led 30,000 troops, quickly crossed the Huai River, and attacked the territory of the Wagang army.

With Zhai Rang's strategy, Li Yi attacked the city and pulled out the village all the way, and the speed of the march was extremely fast.

After all, Zhai Rang is the founder of Wagang after all, although he does not have as many troops as Li Mi, but his cronies are also all over the place, and his power is extremely huge.

With these cronies of Zhai Rang as internal responses, coupled with the strong combat effectiveness of the Xiaoguo Army, Li Yi can be said to be like a bamboo, advancing straight to Xuchang.

At the same time, Zhai Rang also appeared in Xuchang.

He spread the word to the world, announced Li Mi's various crimes, and the first in the list was to commit usurpation, and called on all units of the Wagang Army to come to Xuchang to assemble in order to crusade against the rebellious minister Li Mi and set things right.

Zhai Rang's call was responded to by his old department, as well as Qin Shubao, Luo Shixin, Cheng Yanjin and others.

They beheaded the generals sent by Li Mi, regained control of the army, and then led the army to Xuchang.

For a while, Wagang was in chaos and became a pot of porridge.

After Li Mi got the news, he was naturally so angry that his face turned pale, and his heart was shocked and angry.

The current situation is already obvious, Zhai Rang did not die at all, and he also took refuge in Li Yizhi, and also won over Qin Shubao and others.

It's just that this mutation came too quickly, and even if Li Mi wanted to encircle and suppress these rebels, it was too late.

Besides, except for Xu Shiji, there are no generals under him at all.

rashly sent troops to pursue Qin Shubao and the others, and if he didn't make it, he would be destroyed first.

Xu Shiji put forward a suggestion: "Mi Gong, Li Yizhi's plan, should occupy Xuchang and confront us." In today's situation, it is difficult to hold the area south of Xuchang. What we need to do now is to bring back the troops in the south as soon as possible, so as not to be eaten by Li Yizhi, and at the same time to strengthen our forces. ”

Xu Shiji's suggestion is undoubtedly self-defeating.

But if he didn't, the next situation might be even more serious, so Li Mi had no choice but to nod and agree.

At the same time, he ordered all localities to block the rebels who could be blocked, and those who could not be blocked were directly let go to alleviate the losses.

A month later, Li Yizhi led an army of 150,000 to Xuchang.

The reason why there are 150,000 is because the 100,000 army that was transferred back to Jiangdu finally caught up.

At the same time, along the way, Li Yizhi also incorporated a lot of Zhai Rang's old troops and part of the Wagang Army.

At this time, Xuchang, Qin Shubao and others also arrived one after another a few days ago.

This made Xuchang's military strength reach 240,000 at once.

Xuchang, outside the South City Gate.

When Li Yizhi arrived, Zhai Rang led the generals of the old department, Qin Shubao and others, and they had been waiting for a long time.

"I'll wait to meet the Duke of Chu!"

Li Yizhi turned over and dismounted, walked forward quickly, helped them up one by one and said, "Haha, you generals don't have to be polite. ”

Next, the generals introduced themselves one after another.

As soon as Li Yiyi got acquainted, he entered Xuchang surrounded by all the generals.

came to the county guard's mansion, and Li Yizhi set up a banquet to invite the generals.

At the wine table, the relationship between everyone quickly became acquainted, and Qin Shubao and the others quickly let go of their previous worries.

Compared with the feminine Li Mi, they prefer Li Yizhi, who has a bold personality.

The feast lasted until midnight.

The next morning, Li Yizhi convened a meeting of the generals.

"Now in Xuchang, although we have an army of twenty-four, the time for the decisive battle with Wagangzhai in the north is not yet ripe. On the one hand, in terms of troops, Wagangzhai is still in an advantageous position, and I need to wait until General Li Jing Li leads his troops north; On the other hand, it is the problem of our grain and grass, and we need to completely pacify the south of Xuchang and completely open up the connection with Jiangdu. ”

He looked around at the generals and said, "Of course, there is another reason that is also very important. That is, the composition of our forces is chaotic, once the war is stalemate, it is easy to make flaws and let the other side break through, so I decided to reorganize the army first, and then go south to subdue all the places and solve all the hidden dangers. ”

Zhai Rang and the others all looked straight, they knew that today's highlight was coming.

The reorganization of the armed forces this time will have a direct bearing on the size of their military power in the future.

Li Yizhi saw that the generals did not object, but listened carefully, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

He said slowly: "Among our 240,000 troops, there are 130,000 Xiaoguo troops and 110,000 Yuan Wagang troops. Among the 130,000 Xiaoguo troops, I need to set aside 80,000 people alone to guard Xuchang, and then take the 50,000 Xiaoguo army as the main body to reorganize the 110,000 Wagang army. ”

"Among the 160,000 troops that have completed the reorganization, every 10,000 people are one army, Qin Shubao, Luo Shixin, Cheng Yanjin, Shan Xiongxin, Niu Jinda, etc., each of you will lead an army and go south to subdue all parts south of Xuchang. General Zhai stayed in Xuchang to assist me in commanding the 80,000 Xiaoguo army, and Shen Luoyan was the military advisor, coordinating the armies in the center. ”

Qin Shubao and the others smiled happily, although their subordinates were absorbed, they got stronger troops.

Because compared with the Xiaoguo Army, which has the best combat power in the world, the Wagang Army is still a step worse, or even more.

Zhai Rang was also very satisfied, although nominally assisting Li Yizhi.

But in fact, due to Li Yizhi's identity, it is impossible for the other party to personally command the troops, so the actual commander of the 80,000 Xiaoguo Army is naturally his Zhai Rang.

Li Yizhi said: "Since you all have no opinions, then the next reorganization and specific battle plan will be left to Shen Junshi." As for the issue of weapons, I will send them to Jiangdu as soon as possible. ”

Qin Shubao and the others' eyes lit up again, so hot.

Yesterday, they had seen the weapons of the Xiaoguo Army, all of them were high-grade stainless steel weapons, and the armor was also complete, which could throw them off eighteen streets.

Even their respective weapons were only a step stronger than the weapons of the Xiaoguo Army.

If the whole army changes its uniforms, how much combat power will have to be enhanced.

Although most of the things were handed over to Shen Luoyan, Li Yizhi was still busy in the dark, and the reorganization work was too cumbersome.

Fortunately, after 10 days of hard work, the reorganization work was finally preliminarily completed.

However, Qin Shubao and other generals, after five or six days of preliminary running-in, marched to various places in the south, preparing to run in the troops in the battle.

At the same time, Li Mi was not idle in Xingyang.

Li Yizhi's army had been hoarded under his nose, how could Li Mi tolerate it, he felt like a fish in his throat, and it was very uncomfortable.

But Wagang was in chaos, and even if he wanted to make a move, he was strong but lacking in energy.

Therefore, with the help of this incident, he used more drastic means to rectify the Wagang army, so that the remaining nearly 300,000 troops were firmly in his hands.

Xingyang, Mi Gong Mansion.

Li Mi summoned the military generals under his command to discuss how to deal with Li Yizhi.

He had already received information that Li Yizhi was sitting in Xuchang, leaving only 80,000 people to guard it, and the other 140,000 people went south to subdue all the places south of Xuchang.

Once the south of Xuchang is pacified, then Xuchang will be completely integrated into Jiangdu.

At that time, there will be an endless supply of grain and grass, and Li Yizhi may lead his troops to attack Xingyang at any time, so he must prepare in advance.
