After Li Xiaogong returned to Chang'an and handed over the tiger talisman, he reported all the situation to Li Yuan in detail, and then Li Yuan was ordered to think about it behind closed doors on the grounds that the army had improperly caused too much damage.
After all, although he got the two counties of Changping and Shangdang, but the battle with more than 10,000 casualties also damaged the Black Cloud Spirit Cavalry, even if Li Yuan admired the people of the Li family of this branch, he had to give some punishment and show it to others.
Li Xiaogong also knew that he had taken down some of the two counties at this time, so he happily accepted the punishment he received, and left Li Yuan's mansion and walked to his home.
Li Xiaogong, who returned home, took off his armor, took a good bath, and then came to the study alone.
I saw him do it on the chair for a while, suddenly his eyes widened, his ears moved slightly, and suddenly a big crack opened in the study behind him, and a figure walked out of the darkness.
"This time, the basic purpose has been achieved, hasn't it?" The person who came said.
"Yes, but the combat power of the guards of the Pearl Tower still surprised me, but the Black Cloud Spirit Riders are about the same as our estimates, but it's a pity that there are so many military salaries." Li Xiaogong replied without looking back, still sitting in his chair.
"As long as there is one less person who dominates the world, this great world can really be opened, but it's a pity that he has a hand of Tianhu but has played a bad hand." The visitor slowly paced to the opposite side of Li Xiaogong, and sighed as he sat down.
Hearing this, Li Xiaogong's eyes flashed: "Even if there is no pearl landlord, with the information obtained now, the deputy landlord Tang Zichen can still dominate the world, but he can't dominate the world." ”
"Besides, did the owner of the Pearl Mansion really play a bad hand?" A smile hung on the corner of Li Xiaogong's mouth.
"What do you mean?" The person who came frowned and asked, he knew that the person in front of him had been different since he was a child, and what he did was even more shocking, but no one had found out for so many years, which showed that his scheming was terrifying.
"You say that when a person only has two options, right and wrong, how can he be completely wrong when he does a multiple-choice question?" Li Xiaogong asked slowly.
"Of course it won't pull at all! Wait, no, you mean? Does the owner of the Pearl Mansion know how to do it? So why is he? The person who came replied very casually, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, and the more he thought about it, the more amazing it became.
"Yes, only when you know all the right choices, you can completely choose the wrong answer!" The smile on the corner of Li Xiaogong's mouth couldn't be hidden.
"It's really a rare opponent, you see that since he was born, he made a mistake, but he was unharmed, you know that he is not only strong in martial arts, but also has a lot of wisdom in the world."
"At the beginning of his birth, he took Tianyuan first and obtained Luoyang City in the hinterland of the Central Plains as a base, surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the golden horn and silver edge grass belly in the battle for hegemony are the first mistake."
"After promulgating the new policy, he ignored the interests of all the clan lords, divided the fields free of charge, opened the policy of the degree of Buddhism, and issued a new doctrine, preaching that scholars were the last and evil scholars and Confucianism, which can be said to be the separation of people's hearts, which is two mistakes."
"Next, attack from all sides, fight against various forces, but are unwilling to expand their forces, except for taking Xiangyang without collecting any territory, so that for the so-called people to hit the face of the major warlords several times, so that Luoyang City in Mingzhulou has become a lonely army, which is three mistakes."
"After that, there are more mistakes, carry forward high-yield crops to strengthen the enemy, preach the world's martial arts to increase the strength of the opponent, not to mention, it can be said that in addition to winning the hearts of the people, every step taken by the owner of the pearl building is a big mistake."
"It only goes to show that he knows exactly what to do is right, but he doesn't, the question is why? What is his ultimate goal? I'd love to ask him in person, I'm sure he's going to be a very interesting person. Li Xiaogong's eyes seemed to be on fire.
"But he has broken the void and is no longer in the world, and this thought of yours can only be buried in the bottom of your heart forever, and" the person who came wanted to say it stopped.
Li Xiaogong glanced at him to know what he was thinking: "Don't worry, I've been planning for this for twenty years, and now I'm getting closer and closer to what I want, I will only be more cautious and won't leak flaws." ”
Then he got up and prepared to step into the crack that had not yet closed in the study, but at the moment when he was about to enter the last time, he turned around and said, "Do you think the owner of the Pearl Mansion is really broken?" Hahaha. ”
The person who came was stunned for a while, and then looked at the crack that was gradually closing, and smiled bitterly, only to see that he then sat on the chair that was still warm in the study, and it was Li Xiaogong under the sunlight!
In January of the fourteenth year of the Great Cause, Xue Ju's father and son, who called themselves the overlords of Western Qin, led an army of 150,000 to attack Dou Jiande, who was known as the King of Xia in Hebei.
At this time, the weather was cold and frozen, although Hebei had grain and grass, but lacked winter clothes and wine to resist the enemy in winter, Dou Jiande could not, so he could only secretly contact Li Mi of Wagangzhai and paid nearly 1,000 good horses obtained from trading with the Turks.
Xue Ju's attack at this time was also taking advantage of Dou Jiande's unpreparedness, and he also hoped for a quick victory, so he called Li Mi's secret envoy and asked Li Mi to send troops to attack Dou Jiande and other troops, Li Mi politely rejected his request on the grounds of insufficient training of sergeants, but sent a lot of weapons and armor, cotton clothes and other things said that they were needed to fund the overlord war, Xue Ju finally accepted it after thinking about it again and again, and said that after the victory of Jiangxian County, it could be distributed to the Wagang army.
Li Mi naturally sent an envoy to thank him, and then the two sides fought continuously, the war burned until February and March, it can be said that it was protracted, and many of the spring farm work was delayed, after the owner of the pearl house left, the people realized for the first time that they might be hungry in the future, and there was no food.
And Wagangzhai and Li Valve are eyeing each other, seeing that the two sides are ready to gnaw a piece of meat at any time, and Li Mi, who entered the game first, obviously took the lead.
With the continuous wandering and teasing between the two sides of Wagangzhai, Xue Ju and Dou Jiande have already fought to the extent that they are injured, and they all want to stop at this time, but the dead soldiers, the injuries they have suffered tell them that they can't stop and can't fail, if they can't annex the other side, both sides will be eaten up by other forces that are eyeing each other.
In this case, Wagangzhai, who saw the opportunity, finally entered, he first showed favor on both sides I want to help you defeat the other party, and then quickly dispatched troops, and even wanted to eat two in one bite and eat both sides.
It's a pity that Li Valve behind Li Valve Dou Jiande and the Turks who are good friends with him will not just watch Wagangzhai annex the two, and immediately send troops to break Li Mi's plan in less than three days, but Li Mi seized the first hand in the end, although Dou Jiande did not eat it, but also obtained a lifeline between Dou Jiande and Xue Ju, a road near Xue Ju and Wagang in Hebei was taken by Li Mi, and Xue Ju's Longxi land was opened up by him as another base in Wagang.
In this way, although Longxi is not very connected with the Wagang base camp in Xingyang, but in the end two bases have been opened, and the two parties may echo each other from afar, and for a time Wagang is also greatly strengthened, and then Li Mi, who has been ill for a long time, personally went to Longxi to teach Xingyang to Shen Luoyan, who everyone did not expect.
And over there, although Dou Jiande in Hebei received the help of Li Valve and the Turks, he did not survive in the end, and was soon completely defeated by Li Valve, and then most of Hebei was taken into the hands of Li Valve, and for a time Li Valve's forces faintly began to lead the Central Plains.
At this time, everyone did not expect that Luoyang Mingzhulou made a move, Tang Zichen personally took people to the two regions, and publicized that if there were people who failed to plough in spring, they could go to Luoyang by themselves and obtain enough arable land.
After all, Tang Zichen had already proved that he could be an army alone, just some bitter people, so Li Valve and Wagang turned a blind eye and gently let this matter go.
So far, after the owner of the Pearl Mansion was broken, the end of the Sui Dynasty began to really show the prelude to the troubled times.
