Ye Chen picked up the tea cup and sent away the lobbyist in front of him, drank all the tea in the cup in one breath, chewed the tea leaves into powder and swallowed it, put the tea cup on the table with a 'bang', pinched the center of his eyebrows, and exhaled.
This was the fourth wave of guests he had seen in the past four days since he became the general of the Sui Dynasty. They were all lobbyists sent by various forces in the world, and they seemed to have agreed to come one at a time.
He received all these lobbyists, but did not listen to what they said. Instead, he spoke first before they came in, formally expressing his determination to pacify the world and asking them to be prepared to resist.
All the lobbyists said looked incredulous and confused.
This is what Ye Chen wants. If he doesn't arouse their anger and determination to fight, he won't be able to collect 100,000 potential points within a year.
Now he is not in Luoyang, but in Xingyang City in the east of Luoyang. To the east is Zhengzhou, which belongs to the front line. Beyond that is Bianzhou City, which is ruled by Wagangzhai. The general of Wagangzhai is Li Mi of Mishangong.
He led more than 200,000 troops to guard here, forming a siege in Luoyang Pass.
Although the Sui Dynasty is the largest force in the world today, it is also the most miserable force. As a legacy of the previous dynasty, it is the priority target of other forces. There are enemies on all sides. If Yang Guang was not powerful and powerful, he would have been defeated long ago.
.
Although in the eyes of Cihang Jingzhai, Li Tang is the destined emperor, one thing is undeniable. Their current behavior is rebellion. If the Sui Dynasty is destroyed, it would be easy to say, but in troubled times, heroes will rise together and judge heroes based on success or failure. The problem is
The Sui Dynasty was not destroyed, and even the Sui Emperor Yang Guang was not dead, so their identities were embarrassing. In a broad sense, they were all rebellious officials and traitors who brought trouble to the world.
Ye Chen's style has always been to follow the right path, just as he clearly needs potential points to quickly strengthen himself. He will never massacre civilians by any means, but will only kill gangsters or fight on the battlefield. In his eyes, the Sui Dynasty that unified the world is orthodox.
The other forces are all rebels and are targets of pacification.
Moreover, even if the Sui Dynasty was destroyed, he would not join the arms of Li Tang. The reason is very simple. Li Tang, including Li Shimin, was not Han, but had Hu ancestry. As an orthodox Han, how could he join Li Shimin.
Of course, it is undeniable that Li Shimin's civil and martial arts were first-class, and people would praise them thousands of years after the Zhenguan era. But what's the use? At this time, the Tang Dynasty had not yet been established. He couldn't defect to Li Shimin just because he knew how powerful he would be in the future.
, if this is really the case, it would be better for him to fight for hegemony by himself.
Fighting for world domination by oneself, forget it once. Ye Chen doesn't want to do it a second time. It takes too long. Even if he has unrivaled martial arts, it will not be easy to unify the world. He has no interest in doing it again.
In the next few days, he has been integrating the three armies in Xingyang City. The Sui Dynasty has a total of nearly 80,000 troops on this side, distributed in Xingyang, Hulao Pass, Wuzhi and Zhengzhou. Among them, Zhengzhou, which is directly fighting with Wagang, has 30,000 troops.
The army was large, with 20,000 troops in Xingyang, and more than 10,000 troops in Buzhi and Hulao respectively.
He did not directly integrate all the armies in the eastern theater. Instead, he first integrated the armies of Xingyang, Hulao and Buzhi, readjusted the garrison troops, and took the general power into his hands. Then he led 20,000 troops to Zhengzhou and began to integrate the Zhengzhou garrison.
military.
The general stationed in Zhengzhou came from the Dugu Clan and was a direct descendant of the Dugu Clan. The clan leader Dugu Feng's clan brother was named Dugu Zhan. His cultivation had reached the late Xiantian stage and he was very cooperative with Ye Chen's arrival and handed over his military power.
Ye Chen reorganized the 20,000 troops he brought and the 34,000 troops from Zhengzhou, and made Dugu Zhan his deputy. Five days later, he beat drums and set out to attack Bianzhou.
At this time, in the Bianzhou City Lord's Mansion, Mishan Duke Li Mi was sitting in the upper seat, and several generals were sitting below him. He was wearing thick armor, resting his hand on the armrest and pressing his chin, and said:
"I heard that the Sui Emperor has appointed Ye Chen, who made a big fuss in Luoyang a year ago, as his general. He is now preparing to prepare for war with our army in Zhengzhou. What do you think?"
Although Li Mi, Duke of Mishang, was a general of the Wagang Uprising, he actually came from a noble family. His great-grandfather was Li Bi, one of the eight generals of the Western Wei Dynasty, his grandfather Li Yao was the Duke of Xing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his father Li Kuan was the Shangzhu of the Sui Dynasty.
, was granted the title of Duke of Pushan County, and Li Mi attacked his father's title. This is also the origin of the title of Duke of Mishan County.
In real history, Li Mi's rebellion was the result of the Guanlong Group specially sent to control the Wagang Rebel Army. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, how could the nobles who had never looked down on the untouchables in that era join the rebel army? They would have already raised their own arms and rebelled.
Of course, there is no so-called Guanlong aristocratic group in this world, but Li Mi's aristocratic status has not changed. After joining Wagang Village, he quickly became the number two figure in Wagang Village due to his outstanding abilities. Now he commands an army of more than 200,000 people.
To this extent, his strength has exceeded that of Zhai Rang, the leader of Wagang Village. Historically, Zhai Rang also died at the hands of Li Mi.
At this time, according to the plot of the novel, Li Mi has already killed Zhai Rang, but in fact Zhai Rang is still alive and well. Ye Chen guessed that it might be the advent of the descendants that prevented the two forces from fighting, but the two were almost the same.
Fire and water are just about to officially break up.
Listening to his inquiry, a tall man wearing half armor and a beard sitting on Li Mi's right stood up and shouted:
"I've heard about Ye Chen. I heard he's a powerful man, but he's just a warrior. Fighting on the battlefield requires more than just force. Yang Guang has no one to use him. Even a warrior is worshiped as a general. Then I am old Cheng
Wouldn’t it be possible to become a general?”
"The Secret Lord is here, don't talk nonsense when you are willing to bite the gold!"
To Li Mi's left, a man with a handsome face wearing silver armor stood up and persuaded Cheng Yaojin not to talk nonsense. He turned around and raised his hand to Li Mi and said:
"Mi Gong, Shi Ji believes that since Ye Chen was worshiped as a general by Yang Guang, he must have real abilities. We cannot underestimate him. I suggest that when the Sui army comes to attack Bianzhou, we should test it first. If there is really any
If you have the ability, you must defend the camp step by step. If you don't have the ability, you can immediately lead the army to attack and kill him by surprise."
Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Yaojin excitedly slapped the armrest of the chair and shouted:
"You are still smart as a pretty boy."
Xu Shiji shook his head speechlessly after hearing these words. He had already learned that Cheng Yaojin was so eloquent that he retreated without caring.
Li Mi, who was sitting on the throne, stretched out his hand to stroke his beard and asked a beautiful female general next to Xu Shiji:
"Commander, what do you think?"
Li Mi's military advisor was Shen Luoyan, known as the femme fatale. She was also a rare beauty. At this time, she was also wearing a light armor in the army, pretending to be a man. She clapped her hands with a paper fan in her hand and replied.
road:
"According to the information I've found, Ye Chen's strength is more than what you think. Not long ago, he fought with Tian Jue Monk Wu Xiang and Wusheng Sword Master Li Mingyang in the Sanlun Sect. After that battle, the Sanlun Sect was located on the mountain peak.
After being split apart, there is no winner between the two sides, so it can be seen that his strength is now comparable to that of the Grand Master."
