Since he was now his right-hand man, Li Shimin and Lin Shuhang shared their general thoughts.

Previously, there were many troops coming to assist Jiangzhou, but they were surrounded by the Wagang Army for reinforcements. The largest groups had been eliminated by the Wagang Army, including the 50,000 troops who set out from Yuhang.

Moreover, there are so many powerful generals under the Wagang Army. Li Shimin only has one Li Xuan available now, and even Duan Zhixuan is still seriously injured. Therefore, even if he borrows troops tomorrow, with only 20,000 people and one general, it will not be enough to defeat Wagang.

.

But in fact, Jiangzhou City was high and deep, and there were 130,000 Sui elites in the city. Li Shimin thought that it would not be easily broken.

Moreover, it is the beginning of the spring farming season, and there is no food in the fields. The Wagang Army and a group of bandits have a large number of people and no source of food and grass. The siege of Jiangzhou will only last for half a month at most, and they will have to retreat or switch to attack due to the lack of food.

Somewhere else.

The most likely destination for Wagang's army is to advance west to Luoyang.

As for the previous reinforcements from various places, Luoyang had the most reinforcements in the past. After all, they were by water, which was the fastest to mobilize and suffered the heaviest losses. Now Luoyang is relatively empty, and there are no other important towns around to rescue Luoyang. The nearest land of Sichuan and Shu has no roads.

Going south, if you want to send troops to rescue Luoyang, it will take at least two or three months, so it is an isolated city and easier to capture.

Secondly, reinforcements are coming in a steady stream from the north, south, south and south. If the Wagang army takes these three routes, it will be like throwing themselves into a trap and falling into a quagmire, allowing the reinforcements of the Sui Dynasty to surround it and catch a turtle in a urn.

The third reason is that Luoyang, the important town in the east capital, has the aura of a real dragon, and is like a leader in the Central Plains. Taking the important road of Luoyang is equivalent to sitting on the Yangtze River, Huaihe River and other places. If you advance, you can conquer the world, and if you retreat, you can divide the river with the Sui Dynasty.

rule.

Li Mi was an ambitious man, and Li Shimin was sure that he would march westward, so he planned to lead 20,000 elite troops to bypass Jiangzhou and go to the west to find a place on both sides of the advance and retreat to ambush the Wagang army.

Don't talk about defeating the Wagang Army. As long as you can achieve a certain feat, such as intercepting Li Mi's logistical equipment, it will not only make up for the mistakes of the previous defeat, but also make the world aware of it in one battle.

Of course, as for why he wanted to fight and let the world know, Li Shimin would not say it easily, but Lin Shuhang certainly knew that Taizong was truly ambitious.

The "Siping Mountain" mission given by the simulator finally showed its clues at this time, because the place chosen by Li Shimin to block the Wagang Army was the Siping Mountain on the west side of Jiangzhou...

Lin Shuhang really admired Lin Shuhang for being able to foresee all the Wagang Army's next moves before the situation even started, and his predictions were pretty good.

Fortunately, it was Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. With this strategy and overall view, he had already killed many so-called famous counselors in history.

Just as he was talking, Li Shimin yawned and seemed a little tired. He patted Lin Shuhang on the shoulder: "You and I, brothers, want to become famous all over the world, so we have to fight here! I..."

His voice paused slightly, he blinked hard and reached out to rub his temples.

Lin Shuhang saw that something was wrong with his state and said, "Brother, if you are sleepy, please rest early. We can talk about the rest after setting off tomorrow."

Li Shimin nodded, but then shook his head and frowned: "No... I'm a little dizzy. It's not midnight yet, how can I get tired so quickly?"

Lin Shuhang took the water glass he had just drank from, looked at it, and then took a sip.

Li Shimin suddenly became alert, holding on to his eyelids that were constantly fighting: "Is there something wrong with this tea?"

Lin Shuhang didn't answer for a moment, but thought about it carefully.

On the surface, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it. Even with Lin Shuhang's five senses, he couldn't taste or smell any peculiar smell.

But after adjusting his breath a little and turning his spiritual energy around, he immediately felt a faint poisonous air in his body following the tea and invading his internal organs, trying to penetrate into the nerve center.

Toxins are not something that a Qi Practitioner who can see inside is not afraid of. The more violent the toxins are, the more obvious they will be. Ling Yuan can easily control these violent toxins that invade the body and wrap them up before expelling them directly.

in vitro.

But this poisonous gas seems to be very special. Its toxicity is not violent, it is very mild and very 'small'.

The 'tinier' this thing is, the stronger its penetrating power is. Your spiritual essence is like a fishing net, which can catch big and powerful fish, but it cannot stop small fry.

Lin Shuhang was already at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, and he was considered an extremely powerful Qi practitioner among mortals. He tried to intercept several times with his spiritual energy, but he could only intercept part of it, and a small amount of toxins still penetrated into his nerves.

Fortunately, at the 7th level of the Blood Movement Realm, the physical body was already extremely powerful, so Lin Shuhang took a sip and intercepted some of the toxins. The remaining bit that penetrated into the nerves was considered to be pepper, so there was no serious problem.

"Ecstasy." Lin Shuhang frowned and said, "This tea is..."

"I brought my own tea, and I had people fetch water from the well outside the station, but it's only a nearby well, and it's not far enough." Li Shimin gritted his lips and tried his best to hold on. His intoxication had already entered his central nervous system.

, if it weren’t for Taizong’s strong willpower, he would have fallen asleep long ago, but now it seems that he can’t hold on for long: “I didn’t expect that Wu Tong was so vicious. In order to kill me, he would not hesitate to poison the people in the area around the inn.

Ten miles!”

"It doesn't matter." Lin Shuhang smiled slightly and said: "This poison is colorless and odorless. It only makes people sleep for a night. It can even be used as medicine. It has no serious harm to the body. Brother, please sleep easy. Li Xuan is here.

Keep my brother safe."

"No, no..." Li Shimin was anxious in his heart. He actually trusted Li Xuan's force. He was really brave enough to be brave, but if he said he was just here to guard him for one night, that would definitely not work.

This is not something that can be solved by simple force.

Wu Tong's poisoning is a civil fight with you, but if the poisoning method fails and his face is torn apart, then all Yu Hang's troops will be mobilized to kill him openly.

At this time, he originally wanted to warn Li Xuan, but his head was too dizzy and he couldn't concentrate. Even his tongue was a little tied.

But he heard Li Xuan say in his ear: "Brother, don't worry, since Wu Tong is just poisoning and causing harm, I have some scruples. I won't quarrel with him. As long as he doesn't come, I will pretend not to know. I have the right to do it."

I have been assassinated by thieves seeking wealth. I will wait until my brother wakes up tomorrow. And if he comes with his troops in person, Li Xuan will take his head from the crowd of thousands of troops and seize the Yuhang military power command talisman, which will not miss my brother's important event."

When Li Shimin heard this, he was overjoyed. How could this man look like a fledgling reckless man? With his quick mind and clear vision, he was simply a first-class counselor!

His tense nerves relaxed, his head tilted, and he lay directly on the table and fell asleep.

Li Shimin still had to be taken care of. Lin Shuhang looked at the room, stuffed Li Shimin directly under the bed, piled some debris to hide his figure, and then put down the bed curtain. If he hadn't rummaged through the cabinets and searched carefully, it would have been impossible to see it.

Li Shimin was also worried that he would not take good care of him if a fight broke out.

At this time, I brought up the half of the Qinglong Yanyue Sword that I had snatched from Wang Junkuo earlier. This sword was also made of pure wrought iron. It originally weighed one hundred thirty or forty kilograms with the handle. Now that half of the handle was broken, it still weighed just over a hundred kilograms.

He can barely reach the first level of Xuanxing Sword Technique.

It is related to the rewards for one-time clearing the mission. If Li Shimin is left here, even if it is restarted, the rewards will be gone.

Lin Shuhang also woke up, sat cross-legged on the bed, and put the knife on his knees.

At this time, he blew out the candles, meditated, and relaxed his five senses. Lin Shuhang was aware of every move in the hundreds of houses in the entire inn, as well as the streets within a mile or two outside.

Sure enough, all the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army were attacked. Although they were eating out, people always need to drink water. Poisoning the well water was too sinister, and the opponent was too ruthless, not only at the inn, but also at the inn.

It even poured water into all the surrounding wells, which was really hard to guard against.

Therefore, except for the Xuanjia Army, the houses in the nearby streets and even the other people in the inn were all silent. They were either quiet or snoring like thunder. Only Lin Shuhang was awake alone.

The previous words were not meant to comfort Li Shimin, Lin Shuhang had enough confidence to keep him safe.

But, how will Wutong attack?

Should we dispatch a large army, or let experts sneak in and cause harm?

Lin Shuhang felt that the former was more troublesome, not because he was afraid of the 20,000 troops in the city. With his strength, in this city alley, even if there were 20,000 troops blocking the way, he could still fight his way out with Li Shimin on his back.

But if your hands are stained with blood, don't even think about borrowing Yuhang's soldiers. Even the nearly one hundred Xuanjia troops and Duan Zhixuan have to be folded here. Even if Li Shimin survives, he will definitely not go to Siping Mountain again, which means the mission has failed.

.

As for the latter, I really don't care too much about masters or anything like that. Lin Shuhang really doesn't believe that a little Yuhang can have a master stronger than Luo Shixin.

Lin Shuhang waited quietly, and around midnight, he heard a slight noise coming from the street.

They were two black figures, agile and agile. They had just heard of the fashion and were still on the street. They did not go to the main entrance of the inn. They only jumped lightly and crossed the two-meter-high inn wall and went straight to Li Shimin's house.

Leave the room.

Listening to the sound of his steps, the speed of advancement... is really not weak, and it seems to be the Taoist mental method practiced. His breathing is long, and it is not the strong energy and blood power of simple physical exercise.

The corners of Lin Shuhang's mouth turned up slightly.

These two people are a bit interesting, but it will be easier as long as they don't come with a large army.

The person coming was none other than Chonglou, and the person beside him was his recent apprentice and Wu Tong's younger brother, Wu Tianci.

What is the strength and identity of Chonglou?

Even if we were to count all the masters of magic in the world today, he would rank high among them!

What Yuhang County Sheriff? He has a shitty face. If you only look at his face, Chonglou will not stay here.

He was willing to stay and help Wu Tong, all because of this gift from Wu.

This boy is extremely talented. Not only is he born with divine power, but he is also extremely talented in Qi refining. He has only taught this boy for less than half a year, and he has already reached the seventh level of innateness by relying on the evil method of eating the heart.

This speed is even better than that of Chonglou himself back then. If given time, he will be able to break through the foundation building, and even join hands with Chonglou to enter the golden elixir realm where he can be called an ancestor.

By that time, they will definitely become his most powerful right-hand man, traveling across the world. Where can't the master and the disciple go? Where can't they venture? Five hundred years of life, freedom and happiness, is more than a mortal's hundred dollars.

In comparison, let alone fame and fortune, even if it was given to the Sui Dynasty, he would not care less.

After all, I was still a little worried about Li Xuan. I just listened attentively and could already hear snoring everywhere in the inn. I knew that my numbing powder had taken effect, and I felt slightly reassured.

"Master, since that Li Xuan is so powerful, we can't let Master be in danger. You take Li Shimin, and I'll take that Li Xuan!" Wu Tianci lowered his voice and said excitedly.

"You brat, are you playing tricks on your master?" Chonglou smiled and glanced at him: "The Qi Refiner has the most caring heart. Knowing that you need it, the master will fight with you? It's just that this Li Xuan has some differences, for now

Don't hurt his life, I just picked all the meridians in his body first, I have other plans, when it's time to take action, I will keep his heart for you."

Wu Tianci was overjoyed when he heard this, and his red eyes shone like a simian moon: "Thank you, Master! Please let me do it myself when the time comes. This human heart needs to have the fresh taste of being dug out to be the most suitable for eating. I..."

Before the two of them finished speaking, they suddenly heard a faint voice coming from the inn.

"You want to devour my heart because of someone like you?"

The two of them had just walked into the inn hall, but the sound seemed to be coming from all directions at the same time.
