Chapter 1 Drumming (Part 3) Li Mi’s voice was not high, but it carried a bone-deep chill. Xie Yingden, who was closest to him, clearly felt the deep hatred in his words, and couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
He was surprised and asked: "Did Mr. Mi want to kill him with one blow? That old thief Zhang Xutuo is not an easy person to deal with. In the past three years, many heroes in the world have tried to provoke him, but no one has achieved any good results!"
"It is precisely because the hands of the old thief are stained with the blood of my brothers that I can't wait to get rid of him quickly. Otherwise, once he gets familiar with the surroundings of Xingyang, it will be even more difficult for me to get rid of him!" Li Mi was asked by Xie Yingden.
He was slightly startled. With the skills he had gained over many years of experience, he quickly adjusted his emotions. "Since we have raised the flag of righteousness, we must plan for the world. If we know how strong we are, we will avoid them. Wouldn't we let the whole world watch?"
Are the heroes I’ve been waiting for disappointed?”
"Yes, we just have to overcome the difficulties. I don't believe it. No one in the world can do anything to defeat this old thief!" The heroes were all shocked by Li Mi's words of righteousness when he opened his mouth and closed his mouth. Their blood was boiling and they responded with all kinds of tongues.
"Yes, we have a dozen of us to beat one of him. Are we afraid that we can't break his old bones?" Qi Guoyuan danced his fists, fearing that others would not see his heroic image.
Xie Yingden stepped back half a step with a smile, and stopped talking. The big words of "Ten against each other" sound good, but often when a war begins, ten people turn around together, hoping that other partners will go and die.
"Does Yingdeng think that our side has no chance of winning?" Li Mi was keenly aware of the disapproval in Xie Yingdeng's smile. He shook his feather fan and asked with a smile.
"Yingdeng just thinks that General Zhang Xutuo has a keen sense of smell. Since he has avoided the trap, it will be difficult for us to lure him in again!" Xie Yingden shook his head and replied that for the sake of the overall situation, he did not want to directly question Li Mi's decision.
, the outcome of the battle is indeed not absolutely related to the number of people, but Li Mi can inspire the heroes to fight side by side, that is Li Mi's ability. If everyone wants to achieve something, they really need a talent like Li Mi to unite the heroes.
Go to one place
"It is indeed difficult for us to seduce the old thief into a trap, but we can kill him by pretending to be someone else!" Li Mi had a thick smile on his face, and seemed to be very interested in the title "old thief"
"Xie is not talented, I would like to hear the details!" Xie Yingdeng bowed his hands to Li Mi, showing an attitude of humbly asking for advice. In terms of his ability to use troops, Xie Yingdeng thought that Li Mi was far inferior to Xu Maogong, but he used some strange tricks outside the battlefield.
, others are far behind Li Mi.
"Everyone, look!" Li Mi first returned Xie Yingdeng's kind smile, and then tapped the map hanging on the wall with his goose feather fan. "Old thief Zhang Xutuo knew that I was waiting for him at the foot of Wagang Mountain, so he stayed away.
Without fighting, but in order to give Hunjun an explanation, he formed a large circle outside Zandong County and destroyed the old villages of several heroes."
These are all well-known facts. Li Mi repeated them from a different angle. There is nothing new. "My lord, please tell me directly. How can I get revenge? As for the useless things on our side, let's not mention them again!" Wang Dangren listened.
He was a little upset, and loudly suggested to the other village leaders who had just become generals to echo: "Secretary, if you have any plans, just tell us and we will just listen to you and Commander Xu's orders!"
"My plan is that there is a fool behind Zhang Xutuo. He wants to use another copycat to take credit, but we won't let him do it. Back then, General Yu Juluo was executed for passively avoiding the war. As long as we take the truth
With this crime on Zhang Xutuo’s head, the old thief will definitely not survive this winter!”
After the words fell, the heroes in the hall fell into silence. Everyone did hate Zhang Xutuo, but everyone had always been looking forward to defeating him in an upright manner on the battlefield. No one had ever thought that he could kill someone with a borrowed sword. Yang Guang was a foolish king. This was the consensus of the heroes.
For my use, it is a level that they could not see with their vision in the past. In an instant, many people seemed to have a window opened in front of their eyes, and saw a more complex world that was different from the black and white they had previously imagined.
Black is not necessarily black, and white is not necessarily white. There are many mixed colors between black and white, which are all kinds of weird.
In an instant, even Xie Yingdeng, who came from the most prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River, was stunned by Li Mi's outstanding knowledge. He took a breath for a long time before he calmed down and asked solemnly: "This plan is a stroke of genius, but
Please let me know how to implement it specifically!"
"Is this it?" Li Mi took off his feather fan and gently fanned the cool breeze a few times. Although it was midsummer, Wagang Mountain was high up in the mountains and it was not very hot in the Juyi Hall, so his action of fanning was completely unnecessary.
But at this moment, in the eyes of everyone, there is something different about wisdom.
"Well, in my opinion, first of all, we need to go down the mountain with great fanfare and cause a lot of trouble on the north and south canals. All the food for the Eastern Capital comes from the canals. The summer grain will be shipped soon. Let's make the fool hungry.
Naturally, his eyes will be on fire!" Li Mi turned his feather fan horizontally, tapping his palm with the black goose feathers on the side of the fan, and said confidently.
"Mi Gong's clever plan!" Hearing this, the loyal general Wang Bodang couldn't help but praise loudly that among the generals, he had the strongest relationship with Li Mi. He had been worried that Li Mi couldn't bear to lose face and led everyone to fight Zhang Xutuo.
In that case, once the army is defeated, I'm afraid Li Mi's prestige will plummet. Now, after going around in circles for a few times, Li Mi has successfully attracted everyone's attention from the failure of his plan and the futility of his efforts to the new combat mission, allowing him to
While Wang Bodang was in admiration, a stone hanging in his heart also fell to the ground.
"That is to say, Mi Gong can defeat the enemy without fighting as long as he kills Zhang Xutuo. Why don't we attack wherever we want in all parts of Henan?" Qi Guoyuan also jumped to cheers because all his brothers were lost, so he
He had been struggling in Wagangzhai for a long time. Now Zhai Rang appointed Li Mi to make decisions on large and small affairs, which gave him an opportunity to rise again, so he spared no effort to flatter him.
"Haha, although this plan is slow to take effect, it is really wonderful. The two canals in the north and south have always been the grain depots of our Wagang Mountain. In the past, Old Cheng went to the river to collect grain every year, but he did not expect that this move would also make Yang Guang, the foolish king, commit suicide.
"Broken arm." Seeing the excitement among the crowd, Cheng Zhijie, the general of Guide, also jumped up and joked, "Don't any of you argue with me. Later, Cheng, I will take a sentry and go directly to the canal to build a block."
In addition to robbing food, anyone traveling north and south on the river will be taxed a hundred cents as long as it is an official ship, half of the tax for civilian ships, and free for heroes from rivers and lakes. If you meet someone who comes to join Wagang, hehe, Lao Cheng will give him half a levy.
!”
This person is the most lazy person in Wagang Village. Although he is more than 20 years old, he always talks and does things carelessly. Therefore, although his official position is high, he is not respected by others. Of course, there will be no one like him easily.
It was just said out loud to create a estrangement between people. In addition to making people laugh, it also put a cold fact in front of all the heroes.
The canal is divided into two parts in the south. The south canal starts from Yuhang on the surface of the river and ends at the Yishui River outside Hulao Pass, which is connected to Dongdu. The north canal is far away from the south canal. It starts from Qinshui on the north bank of the Yellow River and enters Huangkou.
The two rivers of Yuyang, the northern military town of the Sui Dynasty, were the blood channels connecting the entire Sui Dynasty. Therefore, the imperial court attached great importance to the security along the canal, especially around the eastern capital Luoyang, because it involved the entire eastern capital.
To ensure food security, there are government soldiers patrolling back and forth every month. If they encounter bandits, they will kill them all.
In previous years, Wagang Mountain obtained grain from the canal. The reason why they robbed one vote and left without staying too long was because they believed that they did not have the strength to fight against the entire Sui Dynasty. Therefore, although the strategy of stealing grain mentioned by Li Mi just now seemed
Simple and easy to do, but not as easy as imagined
If everyone is dispatched too few times, they will still be scabies in the eyes of the court, and it is impossible to pull Zhang Xutuo into the water. If they are dispatched too frequently, they may not be sure of victory against the soldiers protecting the canal.
The method of directly blocking the canal, as Cheng Zhijie said, is even more nonsense. The original purpose of building the canal in the Sui Dynasty was to transport soldiers and baggage in both directions. If the river near Luoyang is blocked, within three days,
If there must be no less than 100,000 soldiers coming from the east capital, what everyone needs to face is not just Zhang Xutuo's team, but the last remaining power of the Sui Dynasty.
Thinking of the consequences of a hasty decisive battle, even Qi Guoyuan and others who supported Li Mi the most succumbed. If they had the capital to fight a hundred thousand soldiers, they would have chased Zhang Xutuo and killed him, so why bother to lure him
Into a urn?
"This won't work, that won't work either. So, Old Cheng, tell me, what should we do? Are we just holding this breath in and waiting for the day when the old thief blocks the door again?" Wang Dangren raised his eyes and shouted to Cheng Zhijie.
Xu Maogong and others, who were standing beside Cheng Zhijie noisily, had not participated in the discussion just now. They were the original members of Wagang Mountain, and there had always been some distance between them and the new brothers. In the eyes of the furious Wang Dangren, the reason why these people refused to come forward was,
He must be looking down on everyone and wants to see the joke of secret officials who advocate military expansion.
"I, Old Cheng, am a martial artist. You asked me to get on my horse and challenge someone to a duel. Why don't you refuse to accept it? To be honest, I don't take anyone seriously. If you talk about hiding behind people's backs and plotting against people, hehe, Lao Wang, this time
You asked the wrong person, I know nothing about it!" Cheng Zhijie smiled at everyone and answered nonchalantly
Drunkard's note: According to official history, Zhang Xutuo had one year before his death. Don't rush to canvass for votes.
