A group of Wagang troops not far away from Li Mi were overwhelmed by the county soldiers and fled towards the main formation in panic. Li Mi waved his hand impatiently, and more than a hundred war supervisors immediately rushed forward. However, the number of defeated troops this time was too great.
There were a lot of them, and in an instant, the team supervising the battle was rushed to pieces. Xie wrapped them up and rushed towards the camp wall. Li Mi waved his arm again, and more than a thousand archers formed three horizontal formations, one after another.
Stacked shots. The chessboard in front of me was completely cleared. The officers and soldiers who were chasing after them, the broken soldiers, and the supervisory team who were not doing things well were all shot down by feather arrows. The corpses were pressed against the corpses, and arms were touching arms.
They are all chess pieces, chess pieces without life, emotion, and flesh and blood.
The picturesque mountains and rivers are the chess titles, and the roads are the latitude and longitude.
Human blood is like water, flowing like a river.
Kaifeng is less than 200 miles away from the city under the jurisdiction of Xingyang County. After the death of the Black She and Baishe brothers, the only thing standing between the Boling Army and Guancheng was the Wagang Putian Camp. The leader of the Putian Camp, Li Deren, was brave and powerful.
It is not as good as the Black and White Clubs. It is simply a fool's dream to expect him to stop Li Xu's progress! Wang Dangren, Zhou Beitao, Hu Lvlui and others stood aside without receiving Li Mi's handwritten letter. Now they have received it.
Doesn't Li Mi's order provide more reason to passively avoid war?
As if all the strength in his body had been drained away, Li Mi fell softly beside the desk after throwing away the scouts. The situation took a turn for the worse, and almost all his previous arrangements fell into place. If Li Xu was allowed to enter
Guancheng, relying on the golden sword and imperial edict given by Yang Guang to integrate the officers and soldiers of all roads in Henan, all the efforts of Wagangzhai in the past few years are about to be ruined!
"An army of hundreds of thousands, an army of hundreds of thousands!" Li Mi sighed and shook his head. If all the generals in the outer camp with tens of thousands of troops were willing to hold back when the official army attacked Kaifeng, how could the man named Li do this?
Successfully killed the brothers Heishe and Baishe? He only had four thousand cavalry under his command, but Wang, Zhou, Hu, Heishe, and Baishe combined together had nearly 150,000 cavalry!
"Don't be angry, Mr. Mi. That man named Li has always been cunning in his military use. I think he deceived everyone with his tricks!" Xie Yingdeng saw that Li Mi instantly became as decadent as a gambler who had lost all his money. He couldn't help but offer words of comfort. Although he was on the hostile side,
, but he was proud of his opponent's ability from the bottom of his heart. Judging from his martial arts and sword skills, Xie Yingdeng was convinced that Li Xu's mentor was his uncle who had been missing for many years. From a certain point of view, Li Xu was his Xie family uncle.
Successor of the mantle.
At first, he thought that thousands of troops and horses shunned each other in white robes. He originally thought that this was just a fabrication of Jiangnan literati. Now he realized that when the power of a general reached its peak, he could indeed make thousands of troops and horses avoid each other.
Thousands of troops and horses fled away from the black horse. In an instant, Xie Yingdeng seemed to see Wang, Zhou and others saw Li Xu's black horse, and they rushed away in panic one by one. An imperceptible smile crept into the corner of his eyes.
Pick up a pen and quietly record everything that happened today into a document.
"It's not just Li who is cunning, but the brothers in the outer camp have been killed by him!" After a long silence, Li Mi calmed down a little and smiled bitterly. "But the Sui Dynasty has long since exhausted its energy. Even if he is
How long will the flying general be reincarnated? Yingdeng, please notify our brothers in Guancheng later and ask them to prepare a generous gift for the imperial envoy named Yuwen!"
"Yes!" Xie Yingden nodded in agreement, then frowned slightly, "Are you afraid that old thief Yu Wenhao will be suspicious and refuse to accept the gifts from the brothers?"
"Officials of the Sui Dynasty always only care about the thickness of the gifts. How often do they care about the enemy or ourselves? Just send someone to deliver it, but don't ask him to do anything! I will make other arrangements for follow-up methods later!"
Xie Yingden was stunned for a moment, but soon understood that Li Mi said this because he had full confidence in his heart. "Should we transfer Mao Gong back to defend the main stronghold?" After recording Li Mi's order on paper, he suggested in a low voice.
."Once General Li enters Guancheng, he will be like a tiger entering the mountains..."
"No, I will give Maogong an order to abandon Luokou Cang and return to capture Baihua Valley! As long as we control Baihua Valley, neither the Sui troops in Xingyang nor Hulao will dare to act rashly!" Li Mi said to
He pointed to the original station of Liu Changgong's ministry on the map and said.
Baihua Valley is sandwiched between Xingyang, Hulao and Luokou, with Tianling Mountain at its back and Sishui River in front. It is a very critical strategic location. At present, Liu Changgong's troops have been crippled by Xu Maogong, so naturally they are unable to hold on here. And
After Xu Maogong occupied Baihua Valley, he might launch an attack on the three cities at any time, and the Sui armies everywhere could not help but take precautions.
"Mr. Mi made a wonderful move!" Xie Yingdeng nodded and expressed his admiration for Li Mi's military skills. "But General Li..."
"I will deal with him personally!" In a sneer, Li Mi gradually regained his overlord spirit.
So far, the opponents have been invincible. But the secret that determines victory or defeat is not only on the battlefield. This man is too young and does not understand what a conspiracy is, let alone the Sui Dynasty he is trying to save. It has been corrupted beyond redemption.
Medicine level!
‘He only has one person.’ Li Mi told himself in his heart, ‘I have more than one Mao Gong!’. He knew that he had a chance to win, because this was the general trend of the world and it could not be undone by human power.
In the middle of the night, several important figures from the Wagang Army with special missions came down the mountain and rushed to their respective destinations under the stars and the moon. The situation was urgent and they had to complete their tasks before the various Sui armies near Xingyang were reintegrated. Otherwise, the Wagang Army
It will face the biggest disaster since its establishment.
At the same time, the scouts and craftsmen under Xie Yingdeng also tried their best to send the movements of Boling's Jingqi to the stronghold.
"Lee Thief Li left Kaifeng yesterday, but the Putian camp was unable to resist and retreated to Daliang!"
"Li thieves defeated our Putian camp and wounded General Li Deren. General Li defended the city and asked the main camp for rescue..."
"General Zhou Beitao counterattacked Kaifeng, and Li Tie led a partial force back. General Zhou had to give up his target and avoid his attack..."
….
After the Boling Army captured Kaifeng, they did not rush towards Guancheng as Li Mi and Xie Yingdeng expected. Instead, they took Kaifeng as the center and recovered the lost territory step by step for the court. In this way, Yongqiu, Kaifeng, Pu
Tian and Guancheng were connected together, and the road between Dongdu and Jiangdu that had been blocked by the Wagang Army for several months was reopened.
The news of the victory that followed greatly boosted the morale of the Sui army. Before the Boling army could continue to move north, General Wang Bian, Hu Yalang, the ambassador of Henan Province, took the initiative to lead his army to meet him. The two armies met outside Putian City and worked together to expel the army.
He defeated the Wagang Army who came to the rescue, recovered a large area of land on the west bank of the canal, and then swaggered to take charge of the city.
Whether sincere or not, Yu Shihui, the governor of Xingyang County, led the civil and military forces of He County to welcome him out of the south gate. The imperial envoy Yu Wenhao, who left Jiangdu for Hebei to convey the imperial edict half a year ago but has never crossed the Yellow River, can no longer hide.
He could step forward bravely and ask Li Xu to set up the incense table immediately after entering the city to welcome the imperial edict.
Li Xu had long given up any hope for the people of the Yuwen family. Therefore, he was not surprised by the other party's shamelessness. After settling all the brothers, he immediately borrowed the lobby of the Xingyang County Sheriff's Yamen and asked the imperial envoy to appear in front of the officials of Henan Province.
In person, he handed over the seal and golden sword given by Yang Guang.
"Logically, I should have sent the imperial edict and seal to the general to Boling last year!" After Li Xu finished thanking him, Yu Wenhao stepped forward and took his hand, and said with a smile: "
But General, you should also know that the golden sword was worn by the late emperor. Once it falls into the hands of thieves, it may seriously damage the face of the court. So Lord Yu and I discussed it several times and both felt that we should be cautious. At least wait until
Mr. Wang recovered the ferries on both sides of the Yellow River before setting off. But he didn’t expect that General Li was so heroic that before we could prepare our troops and horses, he would come all the way to Henan!"
"The general also has little information. If he knew that the armies in Henan were heading north, they would have waited for each other on the other side of the Yellow River. There was no need to go around in such a big circle!" Li Xu quickly spoke up after hearing the hidden secrets in Yu Wenhao's words.
Explain to the surrounding civil and military officials that with the golden sword given by Yang Guang in hand, he is not afraid that the officials will not obey his orders. But if everyone is separated from each other as soon as they meet, it will inevitably happen when the civil and military officials carry out the orders in the future.
They acted in a positive and negative manner, thereby delaying the major task of suppressing bandits.
"I don't care whether you go south or the princes of Henan Province go north. If the golden sword can be handed over to you safely, I can safely return to Jiangdu to report to His Majesty!" Yuwen Hao saw that Li Xu's answer was impeccable.
, smiled, and continued. "But before leaving, I would like to ask the general for your majesty, do you have a good strategy in mind to defeat the enemy?"
When he spoke, the tip of his tongue rolled up, like a poisonous snake raising its triangular head. However, due to his status as an imperial envoy, Li Xu could not offend him, so he had to clasp his fists and reply sternly: "Please tell your majesty, you will do your best in the end."
I will try my best to live up to his trust. As for good strategies, the general has just arrived and the enemy's situation is not yet clear, so I really dare not act hastily!"
"But I have been hearing for the past few days that thousands of troops and horses on the Green Forest Road in Henan avoided you and rode alone. I thought that as soon as General Li arrived, the thieves would be like snow and spring..."
"Your Majesty, your words are serious!" Li Xu took half a step back to avoid the 'venom' that was flying everywhere. "The thieves are avoiding me because of the power of my Sui soldiers, not because I am avoiding Li! Besides, I know that there are all the adults in front of me.
Only Li dared to let go and take action. Otherwise, with only four thousand cavalry, Li would not dare to take risks easily!"
The generals of Henan Province were already turned green by Yu Wenhao. Hearing Li Xu's modesty, they couldn't help but feel a little more favorable towards him. As soon as their jealousy subsided, they immediately understood that Yu Wenhao was deliberately provoking him. He complained bitterly to the old man
The thief glared for a few times and thought to himself: "You can take your time to settle the matter, so why bother dragging me into the trap so viciously? Am I just a fool and am willing to be your scapegoat?"
However, Yu Wenhao didn't care at all what others thought of him. He sighed and continued: "General Li, don't be too humble. Everyone in the world knows that you are the only one the thieves are afraid of. Just five days ago, they were killing him under my nose."
Baihua Valley was taken away, and Liu Changgong claimed to be unparalleled in bravery, but in the end he fled naked back to Luoyang, the eastern capital!"
Wang Bian, the ambassador of Henan Province, was already furious because of the crowding. Hearing Yu Wenhuo's endless provocations, he couldn't stand it any longer. He stamped his feet vigorously and shouted loudly: "Master Yuwen, you are also a military general. Since you are willing to take care of the imperial court's worries,
, why don’t you go into battle yourself? What kind of skill is it to hide behind the city wall and fan the flames all day long?!”
"I am responsible for guarding the emperor! Of course I cannot interfere in local military affairs at will!" Yu Wenhao turned around and rolled his eyes several times.
"Are you all deaf? Who was so entangled in military affairs just now?" Wang Bian asked with a sneer.
Seeing that the two sides were about to clash, Li Xu hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him. "General Wang, calm down, and Lord Yuwen, don't be anxious. The reason why the general succeeded is probably because the Lords of Henan attracted the main force of Wagang. Along the way.
I led people to raid a lot of thieves' nests, and I don't know what to do with some of the stolen goods. I also ask you to help take some of them and return them to the place where they were found. I also ask Master Yuwen to escort some of them to Jiangdu and present them to His Majesty!"
"Do you think I'm a swordsman, helping you escort things?" When Yu Wenhao heard that there was property to be divided, his resentment towards Li Xu disappeared, but he still refused to let him go easily.
"How dare you, how dare you, it's not a rare treasure. If your Majesty feels that there are some things that are impossible for His Majesty to see, just handle them for me on the way. In short, I will accept your kindness!" Li Xu replied with a smile on his face.
.
"That's not bad!" Yu Wenhao raised his neck, put his hands behind his back, and proudly walked towards the main seat in the hall. (To be continued)
