The three were awakened at the sound of horses' hooves at the same time, and when they sat up from the grass by the side of the road, they saw only the back of a cavalry hurrying by.

Except for the cavalry who had just passed by, there was no one around, Huang Zhi had never encountered such a way to wake up, so he had to ask the captain for help, "What kind of place is this?" ”

Sima Fuqiang stared at the back of the cavalry in the distance, "Hey, it's my main line, Sui Tang." The team that passed just now was the cavalry under Emperor Yang of Sui, and I recognized their equipment. ”

"And what is our mission?" Huang Zhi is still more concerned about this.

"Except for the first few games of the main war dream, there will basically be no more missions released later, you just need to choose your own camp and follow the normal historical process to discover the conditions for improving your evaluation. Of course, there will be occasional Faction Lords or Generals who will issue you some quests, but whether or not they are completed will only affect your intimacy with them and your Faction Contribution. ”

Sima Fuqiang's explanation didn't say anything about Huang Zhi, the tide of peasant uprisings in the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty was a little more chaotic than in the early days of the Three Kingdoms, and Huang Zhi was really confused when he first arrived. "Oh, and now that war?"

"My main line of Sui and Tang has reached the fourth game, which is the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, that is, in 617, just after Du Fuwei defeated the Sui army Chen Ling in Jiangdu in the first month. As for which war will come next, I don't know. Sima Fuqiang scratched his head in embarrassment.

Seeing this rough-looking man with a rare shy expression, Huang Zhi couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Aren't you an expert in war history?" How could it not be known? ”

"Hey, I know why he doesn't!" Zhang Wei's words are like tongue twisters, but what is even more unbelievable than this is that he can guess Sima Fuqiang's troubles, which is not easy, at least Huang Zhi can't do it.

Seeing that the two of them were looking at him, Zhang Wei smiled, "I'm a fan of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, have you forgotten Shixin?" When I was a child, I liked to listen to Tian Lianyuan's "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", although it was not an official history, but it did not affect my understanding of this period. ”

"Oh, tell me about it." As a person who studies official history, Sima Fuqiang also wants to hear some unofficial versions of the description and evaluation of this history.

"You said that it is now the beginning of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, and Du Fuwei defeated Chen Ling in Jiangdu, so I understand your troubles. At this time, abandoning those unfamous rebel armies, the three major rebel forces at the end of the Sui Dynasty appeared, the largest was Zhai Rang's Wagang Army, followed by Dou Jiande's secession of Hebei and called the King of Changle, and finally Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army, plus the Sui Army, there were four major camps. And these four camps are at a time when the war is continuous. Ma Qiang: Are you worried about which camp to choose? ”

"Why is there no Li Shimin?" For the Sui and Tang dynasties, Huang Zhi's concept was only Li Shimin.

Zhang Wei looked at him with a sneer, "Li Shimin, at this time, even his old son is just a Taiyuan stayer, and he has nothing to do." ”

"I'm really bothered by this." Sima Fuqiang nodded, "When it comes to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, everyone knows that they want to join Li Shimin's camp, but at this time, Li Yuan has not yet raised troops in Taiyuan, and this camp does not exist at all. To be precise, before Li Yuan Taiyuan raised troops in July of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Li Shimin was only a member of the Sui camp. It is impossible for us to linger in this era for half a year, just to wait for Li Shimin to come out. ”

"I get it, too." Although he does not know much about the history of the late Sui Dynasty, Huang Zhi knows much about the Tang Dynasty. "If the camp of the Three Kingdoms period is clear at a glance, then the camp of the Sui and Tang dynasties is in a state of continuous change. The current Li Shimin is considered the Sui camp, and after July of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, he is the Li Tang camp. In 618, after Li Yuan became emperor, the Tang Dynasty was established, and Li Tang divided into different camps of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. ”

The other two nodded one after another, it seems that Huang Zhi does not completely understand the history of the end of the Sui Dynasty, and he also knows some of the doors.

Sima Fuqiang saw that Huang Zhi also understood, so it would be much easier to do later, "It stands to reason that joining the Sui camp now is closest to Li Shimin, but this is definitely not the case." Let's not say that Li Yuan rebelled against the Sui and became the emperor, and the favorability contribution of the Sui camp will definitely not be inherited by Li Tang. In the thirteen years of the Great Cause alone, almost all of the Sui army was defeated and invincible, but it was enough for us to drink a pot. ”

"Can you put it simply, are the existing four camps all going to perish?" Thinking about it, he felt that his question was a bit redundant, Huang Zhi hurriedly changed his words, "I'm asking when the Li Tang camp appeared, in addition to the Sui camp, there was also the one that immediately perished?" ”

Realizing that Huang Zhi had some hazy thoughts, Sima Fuqiang hurriedly explained to him, "Let's put it in order, the Sui camp must have been the first to perish in 618, Du Fuwei was the first to fall to the Tang in 619, and Dou Jiande held out until the end, in 621. The situation of the Wagang army was slightly more complicated, in November 617 Zhai Rang was killed by Li Mi, and the next year Li Mi surrendered to Li Tang, but at the end of the year he rebelled again, and was immediately destroyed, and the Wagang army became history. ”

According to what Sima Fuqiang said, Du Fuwei was eventually merged into Li Tang's camp, so Jiang Huaijun's contribution and favorability are bound to have a relationship with Li Tang. At this time, joining the Jianghuai army camp not only conformed to the general trend of the times, but also prepared for joining Li Shimin's camp. But why is Sima Fuqiang so hesitant?

Seeing the problem, Huang Zhi asked, "You said that you met the dream people of the other two towns in the main line of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, so they are also competing for the Jianghuai army camp, right?" ”

"Yes, the team I mentioned in Beiyuan Town is currently superior. However, because I refused to join them at that time, I couldn't get along with Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army camp. Now, he's been driven into the wilderness. For Huang Zhi to see the problem so quickly, Sima Fuqiang believes that he must have a solution.

The thoughts in Huang Zhi's mind became clearer and clearer, "You two said that Li Mi had joined Li Tang's camp for a period of time, and I remember that there was more than one celebrity in the Wagang Army, right?" ”

"Yes, in addition to Zhai Rang and Li Mi, the Wagang Army is more famous for Xu Shiji and Wang Bodang, who later changed their names to Li Ji." Even if it wasn't for his own main line of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Sima Fuqiang had studied these things thoroughly.

"Li Ji, this name is very familiar......" Huang Zhi recalled hard.

Zhang Wei couldn't help but remind him, "Of course I'm familiar with it, one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, the British Duke Li Ji!" ”

Huang Zhi suddenly realized, "That's it, if you don't hold the leg of such a big Buddha, what do you want Du Fuwei." ”

Sima Fuqiang opened his already big mouth, "Join the Wagang Army and take the Li Ji route, why didn't I expect it!" ”

Li Jizhi was one of the founders of the Wagang Army, and at the age of seventeen, Sui Zhai rebelled and was able to fight well. After Zhai Rang's death, he was followed by Li Mi, which ran through the entire history of the Wagang Army. During this period, he saved Zhai Rang, Li Mi and the Wagang Army more than once, and the leaders of the two generations of Wagang Army obeyed him. Cultivating his favorability and contribution is equivalent to that of the entire Wagang Army.

Not only that, after joining the Li Tang forces, he was not only ranked in Lingyan Pavilion and was awarded the title of British Duke, but also was given the surname Li by Li Yuan, ranked as the third duke, and was deeply relied on by the emperors of the first three dynasties of Li Tang, which can be described as a lifetime of scenery, at the age of seventy-five, which was also a long life in that era.

As Huang Zhi said, if you don't hold the legs of such a big Buddha, why bother to compete with Beiyuan Town for a Du Fuwei who is not valued by Li Tang.

If it is said that the favorability and contribution cultivated by Li Ji can be fully compatible with Li Yuan first and then by Li Shimin's camp. Then Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army's contribution can only be discounted by five percent at most with Li Yuan, and when it comes to Li Shimin, it is nothing at all. You must know that in his later years, Du Fuwei was not only not taken seriously, but also was suspected of rebellion by the old Jianghuai army.

Sima Fuqiang, who was suddenly open, waved his hand, "Let's go, let's find the current Xu Shiji!" ”

At this time, due to the continuation of the previous Sui and Tang main lines, Sima Fuqiang was still a homeless person who had just been forced to leave Du Fuwei's camp, and he had nowhere to go near Jiangdu. At this time, the Wagang army had already left the Yongji Canal area where it had previously operated, and had just defeated the Sui general Zhang Xutuo in October of the twelfth year of the Great Cause, and captured Xingyang, which was about 1,000 kilometers northwest of Jiangdu, as long as it went north along the Grand Canal dug by Emperor Yang of Sui.

Now that he has decided to join the Wagang Army, the next battle must be Li Mi's attack on Xingluocang and open the warehouse to release grain. At the same time, Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army camp was also busy attacking Gaoyou, Liyang and other important towns, and those people in Beiyuan Town naturally would not come to stir up trouble again, just so that the three people in Donghai Town could cultivate a good relationship with Li Ji.

At this time, among the four camps at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Dou Jiande was a little more leisurely, and he was also the one who persevered to the end. But anyone with a brain knows that there is only one way to go to him.

As long as this year passes, by May 618, when Li Yuan was proclaimed emperor, the main line of the Sui and Tang dynasties officially entered the early Tang stage, and the camp competition between the three brothers of the Li family will become a new hot spot. And Li Ji will also be officially classified into Li Shimin's camp, and he will be accompanied by Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, Liu Heimin, Xu Yuanlang, Fu Gongyou and other forces.

It can be said that Huang Zhi woke up Sima Fuqiang, who had been obsessed with the current four camps, and helped him find a shortcut to the Li Shimin camp that had not yet appeared.

Since Li Mi joined the Wagang Army in the twelfth year of the Great Cause, this force has begun to develop rapidly, and it has been conquered again and again. Joining the camp at this time is a good time to ravage Li Ji's contribution and favorability, and lay a solid foundation for gaining a firm foothold in Li Shimin's camp at that time.
