Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh famous ministers help each other
On the banks of the Yellow River, fine snow fell, falling in the muddy turbid river. Li Mi sat on the top of Beimian Mountain, looking at the scenery of the snow falling in the Yellow River.
The crane cloak flew away, and the soldiers on the side held a large umbrella above Li Mi's head to prevent the snow from falling. Before the battle, enjoying the snow scene, Li Mi seemed more calm and confident.
"Report to Duke Wei and Sima Fang, saying that Li Chongjiu supported Duke Mi to capture the world with his support."
When Li Mi heard this, he burst out with a trace of brilliance. He took the letter and said a good word gently. His eyes drifted across the distant mountains. When Li Mi killed Zhai Rang that day, Zhai Rang was cruel, his brother Zhai Hong was lustful, his nephew Zhai Mohou was suspicious, and Wang Ruxin was greedy, so when they died, their subordinates were all sad. However, Li Mi's generals all had suspicious hearts.
Li Mi knew this, so he always ruled the generals of the Wagang Army with his prestige of winning all the battles. Li Mi can only win but not lose now. Once he loses, all his prestige accumulated in victory will be lost, and the congregation will inevitably be betrayal of his relatives.
Now Wang Shichong led the elite troops of the Jianghuai River to arrive, which was a strong enemy. Li Mi was not sure of winning, so he kept holding his troops. The two sides had fought before, and the Wagang army was defeated by Wang Shichong and Chai Xiaohe drowned. If Li Mi had not led the elite cavalry to attack and use the strategy of surrounding Wei to save Zhao, he would have defeated Wang Shichong, otherwise the Wagang army would have been in danger.
Now that Li Chongjiu has changed his flag in Youzhou, responding to Li Mi, it undoubtedly helped Li Mi to increase his current reputation. It can not only stabilize the morale of the internal army, but also make the outside and even the world more optimistic that Li Mi can seize the Dongdu and even the world.
This is a pivotal weight. It is pressing heavily on Li Mi's side, so why isn't it a timely help? Therefore, although Li Mi pretended to be very calm in front of all the generals and followed him, his sleeves had already shaken slightly.
Li Mi stood up from the saber and swung the feather fan to the east capital. Her long sleeves flew in the snow, and Li Mi's posture seemed to be dominating the world.
Li Mi said: "I will send an order to inform the entire army of Youzhou, saying that Youzhou will join our Wagang army! Our army took advantage of this to cross the Luoshui River and fight a decisive battle with Wang Shichong."
In November, there was heavy snow in Luoyang.
Dou Jiande and Li Chongjiu made a statement to Li Mi one after another. After supporting him to seize the Eastern Capital, the Wagang army suddenly became very imposing. Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin and other former generals of Wagang, Pei Renji, Yuan Baozang and other surrendered officials of the Sui Dynasty, as well as Meng Rang and other Shandong rebel kings, all congratulated Li Mi and asked Li Mi to fight together.
At this time, in a camp east of Luoyang, a man with blue eyes and yellow beards was sitting in the military tent. It was Wang Shichong, who repeatedly defeated the rebel army. Because his ancestors were from the Western Regions, Wang Shichong was born quite different from Han and Xianbei people.
After reading the letter, Wang Shichong said to his left and right: "I wanted to take advantage of Li Mi to kill Zhai Rang. The Wagang army was in a state of internal harmony and took the opportunity to attack him. Unexpectedly, Li Chongjiu supported Li Mi with Zhuo County. In this way, Li Mi's popularity became even stronger, so there was no such worry yet."
Speaking of this, Wang Shichong sighed: "Li Mi is a man with a talented and wise man, and is a dragon and a snake. It is unpredictable!"
"Why should the general be ambitious and destroy his own prestige? I see that the Wagang Army is just a stream of native chickens and dogs. Now our army gathers together to wipe out Li Mi like taking things out of his bag." Wang Bian, the general of Huya Lang, said in a deep voice.
Wang Shichong smiled and said, "Yes, I was defeated by Li Mi in the last battle, which was already absent. Now that General Wang Lang is so brave, he is really the courage of the three armies!"
After hearing what Wang Shichong said, Wang Bian showed his charm from the bottom.
Speaking of this, Wang Shichong looked back and said, "When I was young, I taught the turtle strategy and the art of pushing steps in the Western Mongolian masters. I calculated the aura of Li Mi Juewuwei. Everyone should not believe any rumors. How could such a traitor win over the heavens of the Great Sui Dynasty?"
In the military tent, several Sui generals showed sarcastic expressions, thinking that how could they take the turtle strategy and the technique of pushing steps seriously? As generals, they do not study military tactics, but are superstitious about these side-minded and left-minded ways. How could the emperor and the King of Yue send such mediocre talents to lead the army?
Wang Shichen said immediately: "You are all gathering here, and there is a dou of rice and 3,000 coins per bucket of rice in the east capital. Our military rations are really difficult to support, so I decided to cross the Luoshui tomorrow and destroy the thief immediately!"
"No!" The generals took the order with a loud bang.
In November, although Wang Shichong was defeated repeatedly, he obtained Yang Tong, with the elite troops transferred from Guanzhong as the backbone, including Wang Bian, General Wang Longshuai, Dugu Wudu, and Tongshou of Henoi Meng Shanyi, plus Wang Shichong's original 20,000 Jianghuai army, a total of nearly 100,000 troops.
Now, besides the Imperial Guard and Xiaoguo Army who are accompanying Jiangdu, Wang Shichong is the only one in the Sui Dynasty who can take advantage of it. At present, Wang Shichong led nearly 100,000 troops across the Luoshui River and wanted to win the lead.
Wang Shichong took the famous general Wang Bian as the vanguard. Wang Bian's name was Jingluo. He was from Pucheng, Fengyi. He once led his army to defeat Wei Daoer, Gao Shida, Hao Xiaode, Sun Xuanya, Shi Jikang and other rebels. He was famous generals of the Sui Dynasty.
After crossing the Luo River, Wang Shichong used his words to inspire Wang Bian and several important generals as vanguards, leading his army to attack, and leaving his Jianghuai army behind to preserve his strength.
Wang Bian led his army to fight at the first time, and he was unstoppable. He broke through Li Mi's outside camp. The Wagang army was almost defeated. However, Wang Shichong was afraid of Li Mi's reputation and dared not pursue him. Instead, he called out the gold and retreated his troops. However, Li Mi led the death-deathed attack on the night. Wang Shichong's army was defeated. The army fought to flee back to Luoshui, drowned more than 10,000 times when he seized the bridge. The general Wang Bian died.
The army defeated Wang Shichong and did not dare to enter the Eastern Capital. That night, the wind and cold rain suddenly fell. The soldiers waded into the water and wet, and more than 10,000 people were frozen on the road. Wang Shichong went to Heyang alone and imprisoned himself and apologized for guilt. King Yang Dong of Yue sent an envoy to pardon, and summoned Wang Shichong back to the Eastern Capital, giving gold and silk to the beauty to calm her mind.
At this moment, Wang Shichong made great contributions, conquered and dispersed, and stationed in Hanjia City. All the troops were defeated in this battle, but Wang Shichong's Jianghuai army suffered minimal losses.
Li Mi used the power of this battle to defeat Wang Shichong's 100,000 troops, and the elite soldiers of the court were almost wiped out by the Wagang army. Among the counties in Henan, the only remaining prefect of Xingyang Wang Qing and prefect of Liang County Yang Wangshang also surrendered Li Mi at this time.
Then Li Mi gathered more than 300,000 troops to besiege Luoyang City, and the Eastern Capital was in danger.
Now the land east of the Eastern Capital and even the coastal areas have all belonged to the Wagang Army. Li Mi's current momentum is as high as the sky, and it seems that it is a foregone conclusion to take the Sui Dynasty and replace it.
At this time, Li Yuan, who was in Jinyang, also received a letter from Xue Suzhi in Zhuo County. Seeing that the letter had not been finished, Li Yuan rubbed the letter paper and threw it to the ground, saying: "Zhu Zi, I must look good in the future."
Just when Li Mi defeated Wang Shichong, Li Yuan had finished training in Taiyuan and obtained 30,000 elite soldiers.
The Eastern Turkic ordered the general Kang Shuoli to lead 500 Turkic soldiers and 2,000 Turkic horses to help Li Yuan go south. The Western Turkic ordered the general Ashinai to lead the elite Turkic soldiers to enter the pass from Li Yuan. Soon, the Lingshou thief commander Xi Shiling surrendered to Li Yuan, and Li Yuan appointed Xi Shiling as the general of Zhendong and Duke of Yan County.
At that moment, Li Yuan erected a white flag in front of the army gate of Ganyangmen Street in the east of Jinyang Palace City, and ordered his fourth son Li Yuanji to be the general of Zhenbei and the magistrate of Taiyuan County, and let him stay in Jinyang. Li Yuan led 30,000 troops to go south. The Guanlong gentry all went all over the place, and the uprising responded to Li Yuan, and Li Yuan's army took the lead in taking the lead.
Then Li Yuan issued an edict to various counties, counting Yang Guang's various crimes, claiming to promote Jinyang, honor the Dai Mansion, and sweep Xianluo and Yu County in Jining. Li Yuan also claimed that he led his army to attack Guanzhong, and did not have the ambition to become the emperor. He just wanted Yang Guang to abdicate and change the Dai King who was standing in Chang'an to be the emperor. He was a Sui minister.
When people heard this, they said that Li Yuan's move was to promote an emperor and abolish him, which was comparable to Dong Zhuo's actions back then.
However, Yang Guang's son Dai Wang Yang You, who was in charge of Guanzhong and was welcomed by Li Yuan, sent the general Song Laosheng, the general of Huya, to command 20,000 elite troops to Huoyi, and the general Qu Tutong, the general of Zuowuhou, led tens of thousands of Xiaoguo troops to Hedong to resist Li Yuan.
In Zhuo County.
Since Li Chongjiu announced that Youzhou supported Li Mi, Fang Yanzao regarded him as a meritorious person and stayed in Zhuo County for more than ten days.
When Fang Yanzao was in Zhuo County, all the gentry of all large and small came to visit Zhuo County, and the door was crowded. At this time, news came that Li Mi defeated Wang Shichong's 100,000 troops in Luoshui. This scene seemed like a sudden sprinkling of hot oil on the ice, and it suddenly made the gentry of all the gentry visit Fang Yanzao more diligently.
Behind Fang Yanzao is Li Mi, who is the most likely person in the world to take Yang Guang and replace him. Under this premise of great benefits, all the gentry in Youzhou wished to come and pick up Fang Yanzao's stinky feet every night. Li Chongjiu heard that Fang Yanzao was still very reserved at first, but later it inevitably corrupted. The beautiful girl alone took over twenty maids, and as for other treasures, there were countless.
The generals despise him when they heard this, but Li Chongjiu used this to alert the generals.
However, with Li Mi's great victory, the attitude of the three major gentry of Zhuo County towards Li Chongjiu changed this time. Although the Lu family was still lukewarm, they had expressed their attitude and supported Li Chongjiu as the governor of Youzhou.
At this moment, Li Chongjiu reciprocates his favor and promotes Lu Chengqing to Sima, Zhuo County.
As soon as the Lu family expressed their opinion, the other Zhuo County gentry had also eliminated the original three policies. The officials of Zhuo County, both large and small, also started working again, and began to deal with the official duties accumulated over the past month. It was recognized by the geniuses, so Li Chongjiu initially took the entire Zhuo County into his hands.
As for Fang Yanzao, all the gentry from Zhuo County, they all surrendered to Duke Wei, and Li Chongjiu was also at peace and was very satisfied at the moment. Of course, more importantly, he gained a lot in Zhuo County this time.
So Fang Yanzao said goodbye to Li Chongjiu and prepared to reply to Li Mi. Although Fang Yanzao left, he left Wei Zheng here, saying that he was assisting Li Chongjiu.
