When Fang Yanzao heard that Li Mi wanted to cross the river and led a large army to attack Luoyang, there was no surprise on his face, and he seemed to have learned it a long time ago, but Wei Zheng and Zu Junyan looked at each other, but did not expect it.

"What's wrong? Is it a surprise?" Li Mi shook the feather fan lightly and said with a smile.

Wei Zheng lowered his head and said, "Fight for fame in the court and profit in the city. Attacking the Dongdu will bring one move to the whole body, and attacking it will surely save it."

Li Mi smiled and waved the folding fan, saying, "I understand what you mean. Are you worried that my attack on Dongdu will lead the Sui army to rescue him from all directions and fall into a hard battle, right?"

Wei Zheng lowered his head and said, "Pushan Gong is wise. I heard that he wants to cut down a big tree. He must first cut down his branches and then cut down his stem. He suddenly went down in one fell swoop, and he may not have enough power."

Before Li Mi could speak, Fang Yanzao laughed and said, "Brother Wei will be bewitched by Li Chongjiu when he goes to Shanggu."

Wei Zheng laughed twice, but did not refute. Fang Yanzao raised his sleeves and said, "At that time, Sima mistakenly advised the King of Qin to attack Shu but not Zhou because the Emperor of Zhou was still there and had no faults, so he gained a bad reputation. Today, Zi Wudao, and all the people from all directions rose up and wanted to kill him. If Duke Mi could lead a large army to attack Luoyang, he would undoubtedly shoulder the hope of the world, and all the people were ahead and in line with the will of the people."

When Li Mi heard Fang Yanzao's words, he nodded and smiled, and obviously agreed very much.

Seeing that Li Miyi was very determined, Wei Zheng felt that he should forcefully persuade him, and said, "I heard that there are generals such as Zhang Xutuo, Pei Renji, and Liu Changgong in Luoyang that cannot be easily taken. Besides, Luoyang's water transportation is convenient. Once we attack, the Sui army in Zhuo County will definitely come from all directions to rescue him. Our Wagang army is equivalent to fighting with the Sui army in the whole world."

Fang Yanzao smiled and said, "Zhang Xutuo is brave but has no strategy. He is arrogant and cruel. The Secret Duke can capture him in one battle. As for Pei Renji, Liu Changgong is even more exaggerated. If our army attacks Luoyang, wouldn't it be better for the Sui army to come to rescue him from all directions? In this way, the troops in various places are empty. The rebel army will definitely be ten times better than before."

"I'm afraid there is someone fisherman..."

Li Mi smiled and said, "Dou Jiande's letter has said that if my Wagang army captured Luoyang, he would be willing to surrender to the entire Hebei. If I enter Hebei now, Dou Jiande is likely to fight with me. Now Dou Jiande's momentum is not under my Wagang. If the two armies fight, they can only make the foolish king laugh at it. In addition, Li Yuan, who is left behind in Jinyang, also wrote."

Speaking of this, Li Mi showed a bit of arrogance on her face. Li Yuan's letter said, although I am mediocre, I am fortunate to have inherited my remaining thoughts. Now that I am old this year, I have no ambitions. Fortunately, my younger brother is here, and the Spring and Autumn Period is in full swing, and I will seize the Nine Cauldrons. Who else can I bear the younger brother? I am willing to follow my wings and follow my elders. Is it a great event to join the heroes of the four seas to promote my younger brother's leader, and I hope to work together to hold my son in Xianyang and eliminate King Zhou from Muye. (Note 1)"

Thinking of this former hero, Tang Gong of the Li clan of Longxi, who was so arrogant that Li Mi couldn't help but be ecstatic about him. Since he joined Wagang Village, he had ambitions and was determined to advance to Luoyang. Later, he urged Li Chongjiu, Wei Zheng, Chai Xiaohe and others to persuade him to temporarily make peace with Hebei. At present, he already has five counties in Hebei, with 200,000 troops under his command, tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and his power is quite impressive. Now Li Yuan and Dou Jiande support him in attacking Luoyang. If he captures Luoyang, he will be the lord of the world. Even if they don't support him, he will have the support of the people of the world. Why go to Hebei to fight hard with Duan Da and Xue Shixiong and compete with Dou Jiande for Hebei? That is not his own strength to weaken the anti-Sui forces.

What Li Chongjiu and the others said was very reasonable, but the biggest enemy of the Wagang Army is the Great Sui army at present, not Li Yuan and Dou Jiande. It is not too late to unite with them to destroy the Sui army first, and then divide the world. Now that we want to defeat the Great Sui army, someone will inevitably attack the Dongdu. Li Mi felt that he should not let it go.

On the southern foot of Yin Mountain, green mountains are covered with snow, and a white-gray earth road goes straight between the high mountains and ridges.

On the white and gray earth path, thousands of fierce Turkic soldiers were riding their horses slowly. In the team, Ashinashiliver with braided hair was sending Li Yuan envoy Liu Wenjing and heading south. Liu Wenjing did not dare to neglect. This Ashinashiliver was the younger brother of Shibi Khan. He is now a Nibushi, who is in charge of the Turkic East Teeth soldiers. At the same time, the other side is also one of the Turkic people with the most insight into the situation in the Central Plains.

After the two sides hadn't talked for a few words, Ashinashiliver pointed to the gray-white dirt road under his command and said, "Mr. Liu, this road under our feet is the white road in the mouth of your Han people. It is only five days away from Pingcheng, and now the Shanyang County, Mayi County, occupied by Dingyang Khan, will soon be able to report to Mr. Tang."

Seeing Ashinashiliver as if he was guiding his country, Liu Wenjing had a different mentality. The place under her feet turned out to be the northernmost Dingxiang County of the Great Sui Dynasty, and to the foot of Daqing Mountain on the southern foot of Yin Mountain. However, a year ago, it was this man and Shibi Khan's younger brother Ashinadu, south of Yazhiyin Mountain. Mohedushi, from the Wuyuan tribes, captured Dali City of Dingxiang County and captured the entire county of Dingxiang.

Zhang Changxun, the governor of Wuyuan County, became brothers with Ashinaduo, and the whole county had surrendered to the Turks. Bai Yusau, Lingwu County, gathered more than 100,000 people to submit to the Turks. In addition, Liu Wuzhou, who occupied Mayi, Loufan and Yanmen counties, surrendered to the Turks. At present, the Turks had already unknowingly pulled all the six counties of the Great Sui Dynasty to their own side, and their power extended from Yinshan to the south of the Great Wall.

However, although Liu Wenjing thought so in his heart, he said to himself: "It's thanks to Dahan and Nibushe's strong support. Only then can the Tang Bus Transport be completed so quickly."

Ashinashiliver laughed and said, "I don't talk about so many false things. Speaking of Baidao, Emperor Wei built Baidao City at that time. By the way, Emperor Wei built Wuchuan Town here to prevent us, such as Hu people. If I remember correctly, the ancestors of Duke Tang also came from Wuchuan Town."

When Liu Wenjing heard the Turkic people say this, his face changed and he secretly admired his insight into the situation of the Han people. Liu Wenjing said, "That's right, not only the Duke of Tang, but also the twelve generals from Wuchuan Town at the time."

This Wuchuan Town actually gave birth to the ancestors of the emperors of the Zhou and Sui dynasties, including Li Yuan.

Ashinashiliver shook the horse whip, and touched the iron-shou on his chin with his other hand, saying, "I have drunk this Wuchuan water together. In this way, our two families are not outsiders. This time, the Duke of Tang wants to launch an army. Khan asked Kang Saugli and others to send a thousand horses to Taiyuan. He also promised that if Duke of Tang enters the pass, I, Turkic people, can you do what you need, but why is Duke of Tang humble? He only has five hundred warriors and two thousand horses?"

Liu Wenjing was wet with cold sweat on her back and whispered: "Thank you for the rich intention of the mud foot. However, if the Turkic army attacked Guanzhong, the cost of straw and millet would be huge, and it was not something we could provide. Please observe this clearly."

Ashinashiliver smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, don't be nervous. I just want to plan for Mr. Tang. Since I don't want to, I'll say that it's just that Mr. Tang refused to start a war for a while, and said that he had to wait for the main force of the Sui army in Guanzhong to advance eastward and Guanzhong was empty. I don't understand this."

"I think if the troops are insufficient, Duke Tang can use our Turkic army. Didn't the Khan say that, you can do whatever you want. If Duke Tang refuses, I always feel that he is not sincere."

Liu Wenjing's forehead is now also sweating heavily, and in this snowy and ice, he told the truth in his heart: "This is not something that Tang Gong ruthlessly. There are more than 100,000 main forces of the Sui army in the east, all of them are elite. If we attack Chang'an now, the main forces of the Sui army in the east will inevitably go into Guanzhong to rescue the siege, and then we will lose all our efforts. Therefore, we can only wait for the Li Miwagang army to attack Dongdu first, and even transfer the Sui army in Guanzhong to Dongdu. We will be sure to attack Guanzhong."

Liu Wenjing thought about what Li Yuan said to him before coming.

Li Mi is a man who is arrogant. If I attack Guanzhong now, if I make him angry, I will have a new enemy. It would be better to write a letter to express my humility and give me a reward plan to apologize. Once Li Mi crosses the river to attack Luoyang, I will block Chenggao and enforce the soldiers of the Eastern Capital. And I have to focus on the western expedition, wait for Guanzhong to pacify the danger, and maintain the power of Xu Guanzhong. It is not too late to win the achievements of the fisherman. (Note 2) After Li Yuan finished speaking, he compiled a copy of the letter to Li Mi in front of Liu Wenjing, saying that he was too old, and Li Mi was young and enterprising, and was willing to subdue him. Once he captured Luoyang, he would elect him as the lord of the world.

After hearing Liu Wenjing's explanation, Ashinashiliver said, "What Mr. Liu said is very reasonable, but if the Wagang army did not attack Luoyang for one day, then wouldn't the Tang Duke refuse to raise the flag to fight against the Sui Dynasty? You should know that in order to help you uprising, Khan also persuaded Ashinana (Note 3) to defect to your Li family. If you delay delaying, wouldn't our Turkish good horse warrior be given for nothing?"

Liu Wenjing knew very well that this Turkic man was really a terrifying opponent. He said at the moment: "Please rest assured that the Wagang army will definitely go south to attack the Dongdu, no later than March this year. I will never dare to deceive Khan and you."

Ashinarifer smiled slightly and said, "I don't have any worries about Mr. Tang, but I'm just a laugh."

After hearing this, Liu Wenjing felt a sweat on his forehead and said with relief: "Thank you, if our army can enter Chang'an, everything will be based on the old proposal. The people's land will be entered into the Duke of Tang, and the gold, jade, silk and silk will be returned to the Turks."

Ashinarifer raised his head and laughed like a wolf and an owl, saying, "Just say it's a matter of certainty. If Mr. Tang doesn't give it to you, we Turks will go to Guanzhong to give it to you."

Liu Wenjing tightened her body, her face changed drastically again, and she buried her head deeply.

In Yuyi Town, Li Chongjiu also received a manifesto from Li Mi to attack Emperor Yang of Sui. Li Chongjiu sighed when he saw this. Li Mi endured it for half a year more than in history, but finally couldn't hold back his head south to attack Dongdu. Such a result was one disadvantage and one advantage for Li Chongjiu.

Of course, Li Mi's move was the one who made Li Yuan cheaper in the end. But as for the advantage, since Li Mi gave up Hebei, Li Chongjiu's chance to win the North came, so he was missing one of the biggest rivals to compete.

As the Wagang Army moved south, it was equivalent to the later generations of Liu and Deng's army advancing into the Dabie Mountains, leading the attractiveness of the Sui army in the world to the Eastern Capital. In this way, the opportunity for various places to rebel against the kings, including Li Yuan and Li Chongjiu was here.
