Chapter 2 Zhan Yi (three clicks) "You are a rare opponent!" Knowing that a fierce battle is inevitable, Luo Yi looked at Li Xu again, from head to toe, as if he wanted to impress him in his eyes, "I have already seen him with his sword."
It's unsheathed and can't be taken back. I hope you can wake up in time and don't take another path. You are a talent. No matter when you are willing to surrender, I will leave a place for you in my tent."
"This junior will try his best for the sake of the six counties. If the veteran retreats in the face of difficulties, this junior will never take the opportunity to retaliate!" Li Xu said goodbye with his hands in hand, neither humble nor arrogant.
"You! What a boy!" Luo Yi was stunned, then burst out laughing.
"The younger generation has always regarded the general as a role model!" Li Xu also laughed, as if Luo Yi was really his close friend.
Although they were rivals, the two of them felt a sense of mutual sympathy. If the Sui Dynasty was still as strong as ten years ago, Luo Yi might defend the country side by side with Li Xu. If the strength in his hands was stronger, or
As the local foundation is deeper, it is difficult to say whether Li Xu will ignite the ambition to fight for the world like Luo Yi does now. Those are all ifs. The reality is that after turning around, the two of them will fight each other until one side falls.
down or retreat
"You can't defend the six counties. Listen to me, boy! The imperial court is finished. Your Majesty can't provide you with support! Those wealthy families will not serve you. Even if I don't fight you, others will fight you, foreign enemies and internal enemies.
*If you come here to replace me, you will be brought down sooner or later. Although you have risen quickly, you have only been the general manager of the six counties for two years, and most of the time you have been away from home, so your foundation has not been firmly established at all!" Before leaving, Luo Yi let go of each other.
grudges between each other, frank advice
"Speaking of this, I would also like to thank General Luo. The wealthy families in the six counties have been disobeying me, but once the old general's soldiers arrived, the situation changed greatly!" Li Xu grinned, with a hint of youth in his eyes.
Unique naughtiness
"Oh?" Luo Yi was stunned again, and immediately thought about the cause and effect. Those so-called wealthy families were dissatisfied with Li Xu, and were even more afraid of Dou Jiande and himself. Although the two good strategies of imperial examination and farming that Li Xu picked up from the abolition of the current dynasty were not good for him,
The interests of the aristocratic families are harmed, but the immediate harm is not obvious. Most of the land divided among the six counties is wasteland whose owners have died or fled. There are also big families who have made profits by reclaiming wasteland. As for the imperial examination, there are also many nephews of wealthy families.
The sons and nephews of common people obtained official positions through the imperial examination, and they may not deny Li Xu's favor. Therefore, although the wealthy families in the six counties looked down on Li Xu, they did not have any big hatred against him.
Especially when the power of the imperial court is gradually declining, the wealthy families of the six counties must choose a new master who can guarantee their interests to the greatest extent. If Dou Jiande sweeps Hebei, many people's property will definitely be robbed by his bandits. If Luo Yi
To win six counties, he had to reach out to some people for money. Only Li Xu was not as strong as Luo Yiqiang, he didn't dare to act recklessly, he was not as ruthless as Dou Jiande, and he had no idea of equalizing the wealth and the poor. When comparing the three parties, choosing him made the wealthy family the most important.
Peace of mind, so it’s natural to give him some support.
"But don't have extravagant hopes for them!" After understanding the connection, Luo Yi reminded with a sneer, "Those national cowards only have their own family in their eyes, and they never care about the safety of the country, let alone the life and death of the people. As for conscience and morality, I'm afraid these few
They don't recognize this word at all. If you can defeat me and other heroes, the national cowards will naturally become more and more obedient to you. If you lose power, without my order, I'm afraid they will stab you in the back right away.
!”
"Thanks for the reminder, senior!" Li Xu smiled bitterly, not knowing whether he should thank Luo Yi or hate this moody guy. "The junior will naturally be cautious and not let the senior win too easily. As for the envoys sent by Youzhou to Hengshan County, in a few days
God I will bring him back. Du Baoxiang has been sent as envoy to Hedong by me, and the governor of Hengshan has also been replaced by a new one."
"You are so cruel, you took advantage of me when I was not familiar with the situation!" Luo Yi blushed, laughed dryly, and got on his horse.
"Junior and Liu Wuzhou are also old friends!" Li Xu reminded with a smile.
Luo Yi on the horse paused for a moment, wanting to say something to counterattack, but in the end he shook the reins and left. Li Xu watched Luo Yi leave, turned around and jumped out of the boat, while twenty guards rowed the oars.
, arrived at the south of Yishui in an instant
There was already a battalion of soldiers led by Zhou Daniu waiting on the shore. When he saw the commander returning, he quickly took the horses Li Xu, Lu Qin and others walked side by side. As they walked, they discussed the situation in front of them.
"Lao Yi, Luo Yi, was so angry, especially when General Lu called him a bandit. At that time, the old thief's face was red and green, how ugly it was!" Wang Xuba felt satisfied and said to him with a smile.
Everyone said
"But the battle has to continue. If we can anger him to death, we will save trouble!" Lu Qin is not as happy as others. He has fought against Luo Yi many times, and he has not taken advantage of it every time.
When you get the upper hand, you know that the road ahead is difficult and you don’t dare to take it lightly.
"What are you afraid of? The general is here, why are we afraid of old man Luo?" Wang Xuba trusted Li Xu blindly and asked with a smile.
"That's right, all the responses today have not gone beyond the general's expectations. Although Old Man Luo has a strong army, his strategy may not be as good as ours!" Guo Fang took over Wang Xuba's words and flattered Li Xu.
A group of them arrived at the Shanggu front line yesterday and before they could catch their breath, they received an invitation from Luo Yi to meet. At that time, both De Fang and Fang Yannian were afraid of Luo Yi's deception and did not agree with the coach's personal contact with him. Li Xu analyzed
After the enemy general's temperament and interests were gained or lost, he felt that this side must be seen.
First, from the words of both sides, we can find out what Luo Yi's limits are and whether the Youzhou Army has a strong will to fight.
Second, by making insinuations, it may be possible to disturb Luo Yi's mind and thereby achieve the purpose of containing his troop deployment.
In the end, it turned out that Luo Yi, the general manager of Youzhou, was indeed caught off guard by Li Xu's sudden appearance. During the entire meeting, the old thief did not gain any upper hand, but instead exposed his weakness of emptiness in the rear and unstable internal affairs.
"Old General Luo is not as bad as he appears. The reason why he worries about gains and losses is, on the one hand, because we appeared suddenly. He was not prepared at all and was caught off guard. On the other hand, he wants us to despise him.
, fight him as soon as possible!" Li Xu interrupted everyone's discussion and concluded with a smile
"The old thief is indeed a slut!" Lu Qin agreed very much with the coach's opinion. "If the general didn't tell him that we were going to send light cavalry to sneak attack on his retreat, let's take advantage of the old thief's unpreparedness and disturb his backyard first.
Everything is turned upside down!"
"I'm afraid we won't see the effect for a while." Li Xu shook his head gently, "The reason why I said that to General Luo is to force him not to mess around on our land. If he can smash our upper valley, we will
Yuyang and Jixian can smash him, and neither of them can benefit from each other. It is better for both of them to exercise restraint. Moreover, his army is outside, and the back road will not be guarded at all. If we send less people, it will be like sending people to death. Sending people
If there are too many, the troop dispatch will be affected again!"
"At least it can scare him!" Lu Qin smiled bitterly, his face full of worries about the war, "The war lasted too long, which is also very disadvantageous for us. Dou Jiande is eyeing the letter, and the attitude of Hedong is not clear.
Once they take advantage of us, we will be attacked from both sides. Although old thief Luo Yi is hateful, he was right in reminding us today. Those guys who follow the wind and find that we are not as strong as others will definitely add insult to injury!"
"They didn't cause trouble during the time when I was pretending to die and hiding my name. They already gave me a lot of face!" Li Xu sighed, feeling very troubled by the powerful attitude of his subordinates. Those people are ultimately unstable factors and will create trouble for him sooner or later.
When big trouble comes, relying solely on force to conquer it may not solve the problem. After being an official for a long time, you will naturally become a wealthy family, and the way you act is almost the same as that of traditional wealthy families.
The recent behavior of Du Gui and Du Baoxiang is an obvious example. This person was born in the imperial examination, so he should give full support to the New Deal. However, after hearing that Li Xu died in battle, his first thought was to recruit Hedong soldiers and horses to enter the six counties, and then tried to cooperate with them.
If Dou Jiande's forces had not colluded with Li Xu earlier, Luo Yi's envoy might have reached an agreement with him. Lu Qin and Zhao Ziming would have been in chaos, and some people with both ends of the spectrum would have immediately turned to Youzhou.
On the contrary, the Boling Cui family, who had been suppressed by Li Xu, stood very firmly on the side of the Boling Army and categorically refused Luo Yi's attempt to win over Shanggu County Governor Cui Qian. Cui Qian, the governor of Shanggu County, was the most capable of changing the situation of the war, but he was more than half
Over the past month, he has been trying his best to help Lu Qin stabilize the defense line, and he is not swayed at all by the generous conditions promised by Luo Yi.
"The general doesn't have to worry about this. He eats too much rice. He will always meet half of the poor families. There are bastards who are unjust and unjust. There are also true heroes in the wealthy families who know how to repay their kindness! The reason why they can make a fuss.
Come on, it's still because we have our own problems. If we can formulate a political decree so that the powerful will no longer be able to influence your decisions or interfere in military affairs, no matter how big their family fortune is, what can they do?" Shi Defang saw that the master would be distracted by internal affairs and smiled.
Advising him, "For now, we should concentrate on dealing with Luo Yi. If we defeat him, we can kill the chicken and show the monkey! No one dares to act rashly!"
"You're right!" In confusion, Li Xu seemed to see a glimmer of light, but he still needed to think carefully about what to do and where to go, and slowly figured out that the most important thing at the moment was not to deal with potential threats, but how to
Drive away Luo Yi. After all, as long as you can remain strong, internal threats will not find an opportunity to attack. If you are defeated by Luo Yi, you will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the six counties. Internal and external troubles will break out at the same time. That is what you should really worry about.
