Nowadays, the situation here is already gathering. Countless heroes have gathered in Wagang and entered Wagang Village to participate in the grand event of conquering the Sui Dynasty.
The current owner of Wagang is Zhai Rang.
Zhai Rang's military advisor was Li Mi, who had recently defected to Zhai Rang. In addition, there were also generals such as Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin, and Cheng Yaojin in Wagang Village.
The entire Wagang Village is very strong.
It is precisely because of this that Wagang Village can withstand Zhang Xutuo's offensive and even suppress Zhang Xutuo. On this day, in the Zhongyi Hall of Wagang Village, all the people from Wagang Village gathered here.
Discuss things.
Directly above the hall, a tall, muscular and heroic man was sitting.
This person is none other than Zhai Rang.
He is the leader of Wagang Village.
He is the leader of the entire Wagangzhai rebel army.
Sitting in the main seat on the left side below is a handsome and elegant middle-aged man. This man is none other than Zhai Rang's military advisor Li Mi. He now also has a very high prestige in Wagang Village.
After all, Li Mi was born into an extraordinary person.
The others, such as Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji, Cheng Yaojin, Wang Bodang and others, took their seats. However, the expressions on everyone's faces now were quite serious.
The reason was that news came back that Goguryeo in the north had been annexed to the Sui Dynasty.
Zhai Rang looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, we originally fought against Zhang Xutuo and won every victory. We had already suppressed Zhang Xutuo. However, Goguryeo in the north was destroyed by the Sui Dynasty and merged into the Sui Dynasty."
"As a result, the originally chaotic situation suddenly stabilized. As a result, Zhang Xutuo's offensive became more and more fierce, and our advantage was suppressed."
"According to our previous inferences, Yang Guang mobilized soldiers and horses from all over the world to go northward with the intention of attacking Goguryeo. This is a self-destructive act that will ultimately consume national power and increase the burden."
"But now, everything has changed."
"All this did not go according to our planned direction, especially Wang Can, the Great Sui State Advisor. After he annexed the territory of Goguryeo, he also sold all the Goguryeo slaves, so that the money consumed in this battle was not large, and the soldiers had no complaints.
"
Zhai Rang spoke eloquently and said: "Even in the past, the conquest of Goguryeo caused an increase in the burden on countless people, but now, this impact has been greatly weakened."
"We are under a lot of pressure right now."
"Please speak freely and tell us what we should do under the current situation."
"We have to come up with countermeasures."
Zhai Rang said seriously: "If we don't have a plan to deal with it next. In other words, if we can't kill Zhang Xutuo and trigger a nationwide uprising, it will be very difficult to counter the Sui Dynasty with our strength alone.
"
When everyone heard this, their expressions became even more solemn.
Because of the victory of the Sui Dynasty in Goguryeo, the world was once like an uprising in flames of war. Suddenly, it seemed as if a bucket of cold water had been poured down on it, so many people did not dare to cause rebellion again.
Just like this, the raging offensive was extinguished.
Li Mi was determined to rebel against the Sui Dynasty.
He saw solemn expressions on everyone's faces, and said calmly: "Big Dragon Head, although the current situation is not very good, in fact, for us, the impact is not great, and even affects many
The people coming together in groups actually strengthened our strength. In this month alone, no less than 20,000 people came to seek refuge. Even after screening out the weak among them, there were nearly 8,000 elite soldiers left. Yes.
Our help is also great.”
Zhai Rang said: "Mi Gong, what you are considering are the benefits. However, we are also encountering many problems at the moment. These problems are what we need to solve now."
Li Mi said: "The one who needs to be solved now is Zhang Xutuo. So I suggest that we send out troops immediately and attack with all the army to defeat Zhang Xutuo's army in one go."
"No!"
At this moment, Shan Xiongxin spoke.
Shan Xiongxin was a talented general, and he also knew the situation on the battlefield, so he said: "If we mobilize all the troops to fight now, it will be a decisive battle with Zhang Xutuo in advance. If we win, it will be fine. But if there is a stalemate, we will even lose."
Then the consequences will be immeasurable. Such a result is not something we can afford."
"I agree!"
Cheng Yaojin also spoke.
He and Shan Xiongxin were originally members of the same party.
Li Mi frowned.
He proposed to deal with Zhang Xutuo, but he actually had no selfish motives. In fact, he only wanted to do it for Wagang. Because of the current situation, if Zhang Xutuo was not dealt with, then Wagang would have no way out.
This is Li Mi’s judgment.
However, when Shan Xiongxin and others objected, it was equivalent to Zhai Rang also objecting. Because whether it was Shan Xiongxin or Cheng Yaojin, these people were all Zhai Rang's people.
"Report!"
At this moment, a sentinel quickly entered.
The sentinel entered the Zhongyi Hall, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said: "Big dragon head, urgent report from Luoyang. Wang Can, the Imperial Master of the Sui Dynasty, led the army south from Luoyang and went straight to Wagang."
"ah!"
Zhai Rang exclaimed in surprise.
The rest of the people also started talking one after another, and without exception, everyone had a look of panic on their faces.
Zhang Xutuo, alone, was originally beaten by Wagang. But later, because Wang Can won the victory in Goguryeo, the Sui soldiers in the world were inspired, so Zhang Xutuo actually used the high morale to start to turn defeat into victory, turning the situation around.
an unfavorable situation.
Wang Can is not an easy person.
This is everyone's judgment.
But when facing Zhang Xutuo in Wagang, he was still a little wary. Wang Can actually led his troops southward in person. Such news was like a thunderbolt for all Wagang people, making everyone's scalp numb.
Everyone was worried.
Even more afraid of Wang Can.
Zhai Rang took a deep breath to calm down and asked, "What is the strength of Wang Can's troops when he goes south this time?"
The sentinel reported: "Reporting to Da Longtou, there is no definite news yet. It will take time to find out the number of Wang Can's troops and the combat effectiveness of Wang Can's army."
"Get down!"
Zhai Rang waved his hand, and the sentry turned around and left.
Zhai Rang looked towards the hall where there was still a lot of discussion, and suddenly, there was a low cry of silence. In an instant, the hall suddenly became quiet, no one spoke anymore, and everyone's eyes fell on Zhai Rang.
Zhai Rang said in a deep voice: "Now that the matter has come to this, we need to discuss what should be done now? How should we deal with this situation? If we do not discuss a result, it will be quite dangerous."
Everyone was terrified.
After all, facing a person like Wang Can who destroyed Goguryeo, everyone is worried.
Li Mi's eyes were sharp and he suddenly said: "Da Longtou, I think the current situation is to deal with Zhang Xutuo first. There are two reasons why I say this."
"First, Zhang Xutuo is a fierce general of the Sui Dynasty. Only by destroying Zhang Xutuo can we demonstrate the strength of Wagang and convince the uprising armies all over the world that they are not afraid of Yang Guang even if they rebel. Now.
Only the uprising armies that are rising one after another in the world can share our pressure. Otherwise, all the Sui soldiers will gather in Wagang and we will not be able to bear it."
"Second, if we don't destroy Zhang Xutuo now, we will wait until the army led by Wang Can arrives. After Wang Can and Zhang Xutuo join together, their troops will be stronger. By then, if we want to destroy Zhang Xutuo, we won't be able to do so.
Maybe. Even we ourselves are in trouble because of this, and in turn are surrounded."
Li Mi talked eloquently and said seriously: "Based on these two reasons, I think we have no choice now. We must fight Zhang Xutuo no matter what. We must even win as soon as possible."
Zhai Rang looked at the others and said, "Everyone, what do you think?"
In fact, at this time, Zhai Rang had already lost some sense of proportion in his heart. Moreover, because Li Mi spoke so eloquently, Zhai Rang had some faint thoughts of agreement in his heart.
"Da Longtou, I agree with you."
At this moment, Xu Shiji, who was below, spoke.
Xu Shiji had a solemn look on his face and said in a deep voice: "As Mi Gong said, the current situation in Wagang is not very good. If Zhang Xutuo is not killed, the subsequent pressure will be even greater. Therefore, Zhang Xutuo must be killed first.
Xutuo can meet Wang Can's army. Otherwise, the situation we face will be dangerous."
Xu Shiji was also Zhai Rang's confidant, and he was with Cheng Yaojin and others.
So when Xu Shiji agreed, Zhai Rang lost the confidence to persist. He looked around at everyone again and said in a deep voice: "Since everyone unanimously agrees with Mi Gong's proposal, now we are ready to act in accordance with Mi Gong's plan.
.”
Everyone agreed unanimously.
No one spoke out to object.
Zhai Rang continued: "But for this battle, who will personally lead the troops as the coach?"
Li Mi immediately said: "Da Longtou, I think this matter belongs to you. Da Longtou is the leader of Wagang Village and commands the entire army. Now that we are going to fight Zhang Xutuo, it is best for Da Longtou to go.
Only in this way can morale be boosted, and only in this way can the men of Wagang Village fight with all their strength."
"inappropriate!"
At this moment, Xu Shiji spoke.
Xu Shiji said seriously: "Mi Gong, the frontline needs people to command, and similarly, the rear also needs people to guard. In my opinion, the battle on the front line of Wagang Village can be commanded by Mi Gong. The rear of Wagang Village, Da Longtou is responsible for stabilization.
In this way, by combining the front and back, we can minimize losses and achieve victory."
After saying these words, a flash of light flashed across Xu Shiji's eyes.
The reason why he said this was, on the one hand, to protect Zhai Rang, and on the other hand, because he knew Li Mi's intention, which was to lead troops to fight, so he agreed and even suggested that Li Mi go to fight.
As for how far Li Mi will end up on the front line, whether he will win or lose, that is not something Xu Shiji can judge. After all, the situation on the battlefield is unpredictable.
Li Mi was happy in his heart, and he said seriously: "Big dragon head, just as Xu Shiji said. This battle requires you to sit at the rear, so I humbly ask for the battle. I am willing to supervise the battle at the front and ensure that Zhang Xutuo is annihilated. As long as we win this battle, everything will be fine."
