I looked at Kou Zhong and praised: "Xiao Zhong analyzed it very well. Li Mi's biggest advantage is the word "tolerance". He obviously injured Zhai Rang, but because he couldn't figure out his injuries, he endured it until Zhai Rang showed his trump card and launched an offensive, replacing Zhai Rang with the throne of the big leader in one fell swoop. After gaining military power, he had the opportunity to rush the army to attack Guanzhong and occupy Xidu. At that time, wasn't Dongdu his belongings? But he was afraid that after entering the pass, Zhai Rang's loyal old subordinates would become kings and did not obey his commands, so he defended Henan and replaced all the leaders of the Wagang Army with his subordinates loyal to him. This was a wise strategy.

Li Mi repeatedly opened a warehouse to provide relief to the people, which made him more popular and his reputation greatly. He all came back. If a reckless person had changed, he would have used the canal to attack Jiangdu in the south. However, Li Mi endured it and did not do so. When Yu Wenjian's bone cage counterattacked Emperor Yang, he led his troops to fight back. Yu Wenjian was not a good man and a woman, and he was the most elite guard in his hand, but he still lost to Li Mi's word "tolerance". In order to avoid Yu Wenjian and Wang Shichong forming a left-hand attack on him, Li Mi used his deceitful arts and shameless traitors, and actually showed goodwill to a puppet emperor brought out by Wang Shichong, expressing his willingness to serve Wang Shichong. Going out Yu Wen and the person who can directly attack Luoyang made Wang Shichong so happy that he couldn't stop talking. He was naturally happy that someone would work hard for him to go out Yu Wen and this threat without damaging his own soldiers. Wang Shichong was originally an incompetent fool. He thought that this could kill two birds with one stone. He could not only remove Yu Wen and also weaken Li Mi's strength, but he could come to watch the tiger fight. I'm sure that if Li Mi failed or suffered a greater loss in this decisive battle, Wang Shichong would definitely send troops to attack Li Mi. He wanted to go out immediately, Li Mi's tiger beside him. If Li Mi didn't get rid of him for a day, he wouldn't have a safe sleep.

Haha, OK, we will talk about Wang Shichong's affairs later, and then talk about Li Mi. Yu Wen and his supplies and food were left in Huatai, and he led his troops to attack Li Yang. Li Mi ordered Li Yang's guard Xu Shiji to give up Li Yang and transfer to Cangcheng. This not only avoided the spirit of Yu Wen and the army, but also gave Xu Shiji sufficient troops to firmly defend Cangcheng and drag Yu Wen and the imperial guards. Because this was a strategic retreat, Xu Shiji made sufficient preparations. There was no left for Yu Wen and half of the food in Li Yang City, and it was impossible for Yu Wen and to return to Huatai to transport food and food. Because Li Mi personally led 20,000 infantry and cavalry to enter the nearby Qingqi, echoing Xu Shiji, with deep grooves and high bases, and he did not confront Yu Wenjian head-on. Qingqi is in Li Yang and Between Huatai, Yu Wenhe would have to pass Qingqi if he wanted to transport grain from Huatai to Liyang, but Yu Wenhe was worried that Li Mi in Qingqi would ambush his grain transport team, and then some of the grains and grass in his hands would be gone. As the saying goes, "The three armies have not moved, the grains and grass will go first." Without food and grass, Yu Wenhe would definitely lose. In a desperate situation, Yu Wenhe had to give up the idea of ​​transporting grains from Huatai. In fact, as long as he gave up Li Yang and returned to guard Huatai, then concentrated his strength to attack Qingqi and then attack Cangcheng, because most of the imperial guards of Yu Wenhe were cavalry that had been through the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness was comparable to those of the farmers of Li Mi's Wagang Army? Concentrating strength and betting was the only way for Yu Wenhe to win. Unfortunately, Yu Wenhe was a very fool and decided to stick to Liyang.

Li Mi naturally was happy that he made this decision, so he ordered Xu Shiji of Cangcheng to stick to it. If Yu Wen bone attacked Cangcheng, he would pull him back and form a deadlock. The problem was that Yu Wen and the shortage of food. Li Mi also pretended to discuss peace with him, making Yu Wen and this fool think that he could stop fighting and no longer limit the soldiers' food. Li Mi fought with him at this time in Tongshan. Yu Wen and his food were exhausted and retreated, and he lost his power to Wei County. The reason why Li Mi could win was that Yu Wen and his wisdom were slightly inferior to him, but the elite military power in his hands was incomparable to Li Mi. However, he finally lost Yu Li Mi's battle because of Li Mi's tolerance."

I looked at the expressions of Kou Zhong and the other two frowned and thoughtful, paused and continued, "So as long as we can break Li Mi's forbearance and let him personally lead the Wagang army out of Huzhu to attack Luoyang, we will be 60% sure that Li Mi will suffer the first defeat in his life."

Kou Zhong nodded and said thoughtfully: "Brother seems to be confident in the army that broke Li Mi. Can you tell me?"

I smiled at Kou Zhong and said, "I have two or three ideas to break Li Mi's army, but I still haven't found a plan that can kill two birds with one stone, because my goal is not to defeat Li Mi, but to try to seize Luoyang as the foundation for Xiao Zhong to conquer the world in the future."

After hearing my words, Kou Zhong was shocked and shook his head like a rattle, saying, "I can't agree with my elder brother's words. I will never be able to become the lord of Luoyang instead of my elder brother. First, my elder brother's prestige is far less than that of my elder brother's vain seat, which will only arouse the dissatisfaction of everyone under his command. If others don't say it, even my elder brother's "Tianya Hai Pavilion" will not be willing. Second, I don't want to use other people's hands to beat him to the world. My elder brother knows that this is not my personality."

I heard Kou Zhong's words and said, "Lao Ba's pursuit of life is the pinnacle of martial arts. Ziling is devoted to mountains and rivers and envy those idle clouds and wild cranes. Xiao Zhong, you are showing your sharpness. What you want to do most is to compete with the heroes in the world on the battlefield? Why don't you accept my opinion and become the future lord of Luoyang? You must know that if you get Luoyang and your talent and the financial resources of the "Tianya Hai Pavilion", the world is definitely within your reach."

Kou Zhong smiled and tears rolled in his eyes and said gratefully: "Thank you, brother, for preparing so much for me. Brother, I have been thinking about us since the day I met Xiaoling and I. Xiaoling and I are very grateful. But this time, Xiaozhong cannot accept my brother's proposal no matter what. My wish is to fight against the heroes in the world, but this does not mean that I must be the leader myself. Moreover, I know what material I am, and it is definitely not the material for being an emperor. The reason why I have this ideal is to let people all over the world know that I, Kou Zhong, are definitely not something they can underestimate. So, of course, this leader is made by the elder brother, and my brother's talent is above me and I have beaten down by myself. I can still be a general who charges for my elder brother, and I can still gallop on the battlefield."

After hearing this, I felt a little touched. After hesitating for a long time, I stammered and said, "I know what Xiao Zhong thinks, but this... let's talk about it later."

Xu Ziling smiled and relieved my embarrassing situation and said, "Haha, look at what you two said, it seems that when Wang Shichong is a dead person, don't forget that the person who is in Luoyang is the one who is in charge of Luoyang now. Besides, although the representatives of other forces in Luoyang City are unwilling to Li Mi to seize Luoyang, they are afraid that they will not want their elder brother to seize Luoyang. They will definitely obstruct the establishment of obstacles for their elder brother's Luoyang plan, especially Li Xiaozi will be the first to stand up and oppose it."

Kou Zhong and I were slightly stunned, with a more awkward look on our faces. We were a little lost in our conversation when we were whim. Now we have realized that we still do not have a good way to seize Luoyang.

I smiled and said, "Zi Ling is right, haha, we should think about the more practical way to seize Luoyang."

Kou Zhong said: "Li Xiaozi is indeed a difficult opponent. Now that Li Yuan has made an agreement with the Turks, it is even more difficult to deal with Li Xiaozi. Oh, by the way, Lao Ba, you are a Turkic person. We don't know much about the Turks. Let's talk about it."

After hearing Kou Zhong's words, Ba Fenghan lost his fragrant tea and moistened his thirsty throat and said, "Our Turks are a regime composed of nomadic peoples. They talk about the strong being kings. Due to the dispersion, mobility and instability of the economy, they fought for power and profits uninterruptedly. They split into two major khanates in the east during the Sui Dynasty. The Khan of the Eastern Turks was originally Shibi. For more than ten years, they fought south and north, from Khitan and Shiwei in the east; from Tuyuhun and Gaochang in the west, they were all subject to the Eastern Turks. The Khan of the Western Turks was called Tongyehu, and with the assistance of the Persian "Yunshuai", the momentum was directly over the Eastern Turks. Now the Western Turks are based on the Ili River Basin, and the entire land west of the Altai Mountains belongs to them, and the territory is not inferior to that of the Eastern Turks."

Ba Fenghan continued: "Whether it is the Eastern Turks or the Western Turks, their ranks are different from those of the Central Turks. They are based on tribes. For example, Shibi of the Eastern Turks was just the most powerful chief, and was elected as the supreme leader. In that place where the strong man became king, no one dared to guarantee that he could still maintain his power and status tomorrow. It is precisely for this reason that the struggle for power in the northern part of the Western Turks is much more intense than that within the Central Turks, because the idea that power is the truth has penetrated into the hearts of the people of the grassland under the engraved harsh environment of the grassland."

Xu Ziling interrupted at this time: "The original Han of the Eastern Turks was Shibi? In this way, is there another person in the Eastern Turks now?"

But Ba Fenghan smiled and did not directly answer Xu Ziling's question. He asked unexpectedly: "At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang levyed violent taxes, and even more powerful military troops were defeated and returned to the Goryeo three times, which made the Central Plains people live in vain and wail everywhere. The heavy taxes and military service and corvee made the people in the north suffer. So a large number of people crossed the Great Wall and secretly ran to the prairie of the Eastern Turks to make a living, which made the Eastern Turks, whose population was originally very thin, suddenly

As they flourished, many of these people who fled to the Eastern Turks were blacksmiths and craftsmen in the Central Plains, and a very small number of them were local craftsmen. This greatly increased Shibi's strength and made the level of cast iron-made weapons in the Eastern Turks far exceed that of the Western Turks, thus causing the Eastern Turks to rise rapidly on the grassland and become the most powerful force outside the Great Wall. At the same time, Shibi also clearly grasped the situation in the middle from the mouths of these Han people. Have you ever heard of Zhao Deyan?"

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling shook in confusion, but I smiled but didn't answer.

Ba Fenghan continued: "Zhao Deyan is also one of the group of Han people who went to the Eastern Turks. It is said that Shibi was besieged by wolves when he was out hunting. Zhao Deyan rescued Shibi from the wolves and was appreciated by Shibi from then on. This man's martial arts and intelligence are more than one master, his internal skills and mental skills are unique. His martial arts moves are strange and impermanent. He defeated more than a dozen masters who were famous in the Eastern Turks in a row, which made Bi Xuan pay great attention to this person. He personally issued a letter of war to make a duel. He even used his own kung fu to defeat Zhao Deyan. From then on, Zhao Deyan's reputation in the Turks was greatly awesome, and his reputation was close to Bi Xuan and was highly appreciated by Shibi. At the same time, this man Yu Jieli was very close. Shibi died of illness before the year, and passed the position of the Han Dynasty to Chuluo. However,

Not long after, Chu Luo died of illness strangely, and Jie Li took over the position of the Khan. Hum, Chu Luo has always been in the same position as Jie Li and Zhao Deyan. I don’t believe that Chu Luo’s death has nothing to do with them. Now that Jie Li has taken the position of the Han Dynasty, he firmly followed Zhao Deyan’s strategy and secretly supported all the forces in the Central Plains. The Central Plains are in a split state for as long as possible, and it will help Jie Li to carry out a series of actions to encroach on the surrounding forces. However, Zhao Deyan’s identity is mysterious. It is said that Chu Luo has sent his confidant subordinates to sneak into the Central Plains to inquire about Zhao Deyan’s identity many times, but they all returned without success, and many people have gone without returning, and their whereabouts are unknown. If I guess correctly, it is precisely because of Chu Luo’s actions that angered Zhao Deyan and made him murderous intent."

Although I knew Zhao Deyan's identity and origin, I didn't expect that Zhao Deyan would have so many "glorious deeds". I smiled at Ba Fenghan and said, "Old Ba, if you knew that Zhao Deyan was the demon general who was notorious for the last master, you would not be surprised by what he did."

After hearing this, Ba Fenghan and Shuanglong were obviously shocked. The three of them said in shock: "What? Zhao Deyan is actually a member of the Demon Sect?" Ba Fenghan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that the Demon Sect's black hand had reached the royal court of the Turks. I wonder if this is a disaster for the Turks and even the entire grassland?"

I smiled and said, "Old Ba does not need to worry about this matter. It has long been destined to be in the dark. There is no distinction between holy and demons in the world, but the difference between the mind. The same is true for the realm of martial arts."

Ba Fenghan looked up at me, savored my words carefully, and after a long time, he raised his head and smiled heartily, "What brother taught me is that Ba Fenghan has been taught."
