If brother Huaji is also a time traveler, he will definitely feel that he is as hard-pressed as a mustache and a little devil. The opponent in front of him obviously has no power to fight back, but he can't get it right anyway. Yili turns around and beats the ones who are easy to beat. The seemingly weak enemy suddenly becomes extremely tenacious. No matter how much he loses, he refuses to surrender. Stabbed with a knife, attacked from the front and back, hard to look at from the head to the tail, it seems that the victories of the battle are endless, but in fact it is too hard to be forced.
After the Yanshi War in history, because Bing Yuanzhen avenged Zhai Rang and deliberately dedicated Luokou Cangcheng to Wang Shichong, the disheartened Li Mi felt that there was no hope of a comeback, so he simply brought the remnants of defeated soldiers and remnants The land was invested in the old Li's house; changed by Chen Sangliang's demon moth wings, although Li Mi suffered a disastrous defeat in the Tongshan War, the Luokou warehouse, the largest granary in the world, is still in Li Mi's hands. How much, there is still hope to return to the top, so this time, Li Mi played as tenaciously as Wang Shichong.
The tenacious Li Mi, of course, made poor Brother Huaji suffer, and spent a lot of effort to build a batch of siege weapons. When he couldn't wait to launch an attack on Luokoucang, Brother Huaji, who was determined to win, met the most tenacious resistance. The soldiers of Li Mi's army, who were forced to die one after another by Hua and Brother Tubao, shared the same hatred and refused to give up an inch. Relying on the only advantage of being condescending on the city wall, they fought against the Xiaoguo army's six consecutive sieges, although they paid for it. The heavy price was paid, but it also brought a lot of casualties to Hua Jixiong. Brother Hua Ji was very annoyed by this. Regardless of the darkness of the sky and the exhaustion of the soldiers, he insisted on refusing to withdraw his troops, insisting on launching a night battle and continuing to attack the city.
Although the successive attacks were on the right track, although the powerful Xiaoguo army was exhausted, the main force of Li Mi's army was even more exhausted. So when it was completely dark, Li Mi's defense line at Luokoucang finally began to crumble. However, at this moment, Li Mi suddenly sent out a signal to ask for help from the outside. Li Mi's army, Sun Changle and Gao Jifu, who had been hiding in Yanyue City and Black Stone Fortress before, immediately risked their lives to attack, each leading three hundred death squads to rush into battle. On the back and flanks of Brother Ji, the well-fed death squad wanted to kill an enemy to get a reward of five guans. They stepped forward desperately with red eyes, and killed the hungry and tired Xiaoguo army into confusion for a while.
Brother Hua also committed the problem of commanding blindly. The death squads in Yanyue City and Black Rock Fort are completely supported by one breath. The flanks and rear troops only need to hold out for a while, relying on the advantages of equipment and numbers to kill the death squads of Li Mijun. It was easy, but Brother Hua Ji mobilized the troops to fight separately. During the mobilization of the troops, the originally extremely neat formation suddenly showed flaws.
Naturally, it was Li Mi's turn to attack the cavalry of the ace of the internal army. Wang Bodang and Pei Xingyan led three hundred cavalry each, and suddenly attacked from the south gate and west gate of Luokou Cang. As a result, the cavalry of the internal army armed by Li Mi at all costs did not disappoint him. Under the cover of night, they rushed left and right in the formation of the Xiaoguo army, and fought bravely to kill the enemy. Brother Huaji's position also caused a lot of confusion in Brother Huaji's formation. Brother Huaji hurriedly mobilized the army to block and chase, and finally forced Wang Bodang and Pei Xingyan to bring a total of only one hundred soldiers left. Yu Qi's internal cavalry escaped from his battle formation, but his formation was already in chaos.
According to the prior agreement, Wang Bodang and Pei Xingyan, who stood out from Hua and his brother's battle formation, did not withdraw to the Luokou warehouse. They chose to retreat directly to Hulao Pass, 30 miles away, to seek protection. . However, what Li Mi never imagined in his dreams was that Brother Hua Ji, who was furious, dispatched a large number of cavalry to chase and kill the more than a hundred cavalry of Second General Wang Pei. , the reserve team quickly went to the city and rushed down, after all, they repelled Brother Huaji's seventh siege, which he had hoped to succeed.
The angry Huaji brother originally wanted to launch an eighth attack on the city, but Sima Dekan and Chen Zhilue and other generals quit, because the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army had been attacking the city since the morning and now it was completely dark. They were all thirsty and tired, exhausted, and their formations were already in disarray, and their siege weapons were consumed too much. It would be very difficult to attack the city again, so they all asked Brother Hua to withdraw his troops temporarily and come back to attack the city after regrouping. Brother Hua Ji was also a man of no opinion, he felt that the generals were justified, so he ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops and returned to the original place under the rejoicing eyes of Li Mi's soldiers.
After Hua Ji's army retreated, Li Mi, who had been nervous for a whole day, sat down on the blood-spattered city wall. The attendants on the left and right couldn't help him. He wailed from the bottom of his heart, "It's dangerous! If you do it again, I'm sure I won't be able to handle it!"
For Li Mi, it was a blessing, but for Hua Jixiong, it was even worse. After a night of rest, the news of Yuan Wuda and Xu Hongren's defeat in front of Wang Shichong suddenly came, and he was already full of anger because of the setback in the siege. Brother Huaji was even more furious, and turned around to attack Wang Shichong again. But this time even Yuwen Zhiji didn't do it, and persuaded Huaji brother to calm down temporarily, saying that although the second general Yuan Xu was defeated, he had a city to defend, and there would be no major problems in the rear. Take down the Luokou warehouse that is almost unbearable in front of you.
Brother Huaji, who is considered a good brother, listened to his second brother's suggestion and didn't bother to make any more fuss. He chose to order Yuan Wuda and other generals to defend Jin Yongcheng with all their strength, and at the same time let the army replenish the siege equipment and prepare to launch a siege after a day's rest. . However, at the same time, the craftsmen of Li Mijun, who had already received Wang Shichong's technical support, also rushed to make more than 30 pine cannons, and put them on the head of Luokou Cangcheng to prepare for the battle. The two generals Wang Bodang and Pei Xingyan also returned quietly that night. When he arrived at Cangcheng, Luokou, he continued to lead the cavalry of the internal army for Li Mi, preparing for a more brutal bloody battle.
The ensuing defense of Luokoucang was naturally more bloody and cruel, but the morale of the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army who had been frustrated one after another was obviously a little bit low. As big as before, Li Mijun's morale was restored, and his confidence gradually returned to him. Under the ebb and flow, although the Xiaoguo army still has the absolute upper hand in the siege battle, it can no longer be like the day before yesterday. It can often rush up the city wall to exert tremendous pressure on Li Mijun. Several times the siege was confined to the city wall In the next attack, the casualties were not small but there was no achievement, and the storm again after a day's interval finally returned without success.
The successive setbacks naturally severely damaged Hua Ji's prestige. The generals of the Xiaoguo Army who lacked cold clothes were full of complaints, and their morale gradually began to waver. The stupid pig with a brain was helped to the position of prime minister, and he was even more dissatisfied and distrustful of Brother Hua. At the same time, at this time, Li Mi, who was able to compete with Chen Sangliang in terms of tactics, finally made a move, indirecting the relationship between Yuwen Army's generals.
Li Mi, who does not have the foresight ability of historical foresight, may be inferior to Chen Sangliang, the traverser, in terms of performing alienation schemes, but it is also enough to deal with the general focus of the general Yuwen Army who has grown muscles-very simple. A messenger goes out of the city, A very simple letter to Sima Dekan, a very simple flattery and flattery, to persuade Sima Dekan to kill the incompetent and useless brother Huaji, and join hands with Migong to divide the world equally, and then it doesn't matter whether this letter can be sent to Sima Dekan In Kan's hands, Duke Mi's goal has been achieved.
Of course, Migong didn’t know that Huaji brother and Sima Dekan once fell in love and killed each other in history. Migong only learned from the interrogation of the captives that Sima Dekan led the main force during the Jiangdu mutiny, and Huaji brother was led by Sima Dekan. With a group of generals of the Xiaoguo Army promoted to high positions, they just instinctively believed that the relationship between brother Hua and Sima Dekan could be used, and seized the opportunity of Brother Hua's successive setbacks and morale decline, thinking that even if he failed, it would be nothing but a loss. An envoy and a few gifts used this scheming plan.
The effect of the alienation plan was so good that Migong himself could not believe it. Although his messenger failed to deliver the letter to Sima Dekan, he was captured by the scouts of the Xiaoguo Army on the way, and he delivered the letter with him. Arrived in front of Brother Hua, but after reading the letter, Brother Hua immediately became suspicious and worried about Sima Dekan. The master Sima Dekan was tempted, and he was also concerned about Sima Dekan's military power and prestige. After careful consideration, Huaji brother simply used the excuse that Jin Yongcheng was in a hurry and asked Sima Dekan to lead 5,000 troops back to Jinyongcheng. Sima Dekan has military power in his hands.
Of course Sima Dekan argued with Brother Huaji about this matter, and the reason was that although Jin Yongcheng was defeated, he was not in a hurry, and he didn't need to return to the army to help defend, but Brother Huaji became more suspicious and forced Sima Dekan to leave even more. The front line of Luokou Cang. In the end, the slender arms couldn't twist the thick thighs, and Sima De, who was under the control of others, led his army back to Jinyong City full of anger, full of resentment towards Brother Huaji, and Brother Huaji's subordinates therefore killed themselves. Generals such as Zhao Xingshu and Li Ben, who were good friends, were also very dissatisfied, and the generals became more eccentric, and their morale declined even more.
After spending a lot of effort to find out this result, Li Mi was overjoyed and rewarded Wang Xuance, and laughed triumphantly: "I really overestimated his Yuwenhua and his husband, I never thought that such a simple plan can make the king Xuance He folded his arms and disturbed the morale of the army. Such an incompetent person, even if he is given a million soldiers, he will not be afraid! The combination of my father and Wang Shichong is enough to defeat this thief!"
"Wei Gong, we can't be too optimistic for the time being." Chai Xiaohe, who is also deeply loved and trusted by Li Mi, said respectfully: "Although Yu Wenhuaji is incompetent, he has a strong army and a strong army. We join forces with Wang Shichong, and we are still weaker in terms of strength." We are inferior to him, whether it is us or Wang Shichong, if we make a slight mistake, we may still repeat the same mistakes in Tongshan. In my opinion, it is best to bring the traitor Chen Yingliang into the battlefield as soon as possible, and let him share part of the pressure for us, so that we can You can really sit back and relax.”
Hearing the name of his nemesis Chen Sangliang, the smile on Li Mihei's face quickly disappeared, he nodded and said, "That's right, if we can pull the traitor Chen Yingliang into the battlefield at this time, we can surely win. But this traitor can't If he has such good intentions to send troops now, he will only find all kinds of excuses to delay and refuse, so as not to let us and Yu Wenhua and everyone exhausted, he will not take advantage of it."
"Wei Gong is a talented man, can't he think of a way to lure Chen Yingliang, the traitor, to send troops as soon as possible?" Chai Xiaohe asked.
"That's so easy. It's harder than going to the sky to get that traitor caught." Li Mi snorted heavily, and after thinking for a while, Li Mi said again: "But you have to try anyway, I will give it to you right now." Chen Yingliang, the traitor, sent a letter saying that I could hardly hold on anymore, if he doesn't send troops to help, I can only give up Luokoucang and retreat back to Hulao Pass, let's see what his attitude is."
"Wei Gong's clever plan." Chai Xiaohe said happily: "If Yu Wenhuaji wins the Luokou warehouse, it will become a serious problem for Chen Yingliang's confidantes. Even if Chen thief doesn't use the main force, he will have to send some teachers to share some of the pressure with us. He just needs to come out. With the army, we will have the opportunity to divert misfortune, and let Yu Wenhua and the common man find trouble for him."
Li Mi nodded and snorted: "Tie Chen is treacherous. Although he won't fall for it easily, Yu Wenhua and his husband are still a major threat to him. This time, I will see if he dares to bet that our army will take the initiative to give up. Luokoucang, let Yu Wenhuaji gain a firm foothold on the Eastern Capital battlefield!"
"Since that's the case, why didn't Duke Wei add another paragraph to the request letter?" Chai Xiaohe suggested: "It is said that Yu Wenhua and Pifu sent envoys to ask for the Liyang warehouse to be exchanged for the Luokou warehouse, and allow us to take away some of the Luokou warehouses. Cang grain, Wei Gong, you flatly refused because of the righteousness of the alliance."
Li Mi laughed again, nodded vigorously and said, "You can add this one."
…
It's time to take a look at the situation on Chen Sangliang's side. It's true that Chen Sangliang hasn't sent troops to the Eastern Capital battlefield yet, but Chen Sangliang is paying attention to the development of the Eastern Capital battlefield every day. , On the official road from Hangu Pass to Luokou Cang, every day there are postmen with red flags on their backs and fast horses back and forth, reporting the changes in the military situation on the Eastern Capital battlefield every day. Yi prepared carrier pigeons at Hangu Pass that could fly directly to Daxing, and prepared to use the carrier pigeons at critical moments.
But this is still far from enough. Hangu Pass is still some distance away from Dongdu and Luokou Cang. The scouts have to risk being discovered by the enemy to scout out the enemy and spread the news. Chen Sangliang usually only receives five Six days ago, it was even more difficult and time-consuming to receive the military intelligence pond report about the Luokou warehouse, so not only Chen Sangliang was worried about it, but also the accomplices and staff led by Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng were also worried. I'm afraid that one of Wang Shichong and Li Mi will make a mistake, which will allow Yu Wenhua and success to gain a foothold on the Eastern Capital battlefield, and then seriously threaten Chen Sangliang's interests outside the customs.
Again, although brother Huaji is incompetent, the army under his command is too powerful. If Chen Sangliang could block him by relying on the location, he would have to spend countless time and strength to benefit other enemies in vain. So as early as when it was confirmed that Huaji's brother was stationed in Jin Yongcheng, there was a voice in the Daxing court controlled by Chen Sangliang, suggesting that Chen Sangliang send troops to put pressure on Yu Wenhua as soon as possible, and to share some pressure for Wang Shichong and Li Mi, so as not to They were defeated by Brother Hua and could not complete the sacred and honorable task for Chen Sangliang.
Chen Sangliang also thought about sending a partial division to advance eastward more than once to take over Mianchi and Xin'an Second City, which had been abandoned by Li Mijun, to put some pressure on Brother Huaji, but doing so would undoubtedly be dangerous and cunning. The fox-like Wang Shichong and Li Mi would never miss this god-given opportunity to bring misfortune to the west, so Chen Sangliang dismissed this idea every time, and still stood still and ignored it.
Fortunately, with the secret help of the insiders, Chen Sangliang got his wish and got Wang Shichong and Li Mi to form an alliance, letting them join forces to contain and consume the Xiaoguo army for him, but the danger was only slightly reduced, and most of the main combat forces moved eastward It is still possible for the Xiaoguo army to gain a foothold in Luokoucang, and turn around and march towards Guanzhong when the soldiers are fine and food is sufficient. So Chen Sangliang had to reconsider sending a partial division into Mianchi Xin'an, to restrain brother Huaji a little bit, and to encourage and encourage Li Mi and Wang Shichong to continue to consume brother Huaji's strength for him.
There is still the danger of getting burned by doing so. When discussing with a group of aides and cronies, Chen Sangliang pointed out with concern that once the self-made army marched too close to Hua and brother, the two shameless villains Wang Shichong and Li Mi would definitely At any cost, Hua Jixiong sent troops to the west to fight against his own forwards, and then he might even connive and direct Huajixiong to go west to fight Guanzhong Daxing with all his strength. So Chen Sangliang finally concluded: "In case of emergency, and for the convenience of us sending troops to grab the results in the future, we should send a forward army to Mianchi Xin'an, take down the entire Weihan Road to ensure future advances, but our forwards must absolutely You can't directly fight with the Xiaoguo army, and lure Yu Wenhua and this mad dog to bite us."
"If the prime minister wants the horse to run away, but also wants the horse not to eat grass, there is nothing you can do." Du Ruhui said with a wry smile: "If the prime minister can be ashamed and don't care about reputation and morality, just send an envoy to ask Yu Wenhua and Together, nothing like that will ever happen..."
Du Ruhui closed his mouth before finishing his sentence, because he knew very well that Chen Sangliang, the number one hypocrite in the Sui Dynasty, would never adopt this suggestion. Chen Sangliang also smiled bitterly and said, "Keming, it's rare to hear you come up with such a bad idea. If I do what I did, people in the world will not immediately poke my spine with their fingers?"
Du Ruhui smiled awkwardly, and closed his mouth even tighter. Sun Fujia, who had been gradually brought down by Chen Sangliang, said thoughtfully, "The prime minister really can't do this, but we sent to take over Mianchi. The generals in Xin'an can do this. If we arrange for the forward generals to make peace with Yu Wenhua and make peace in private, and secretly conclude a non-aggression peace treaty, then wouldn't it be embarrassing for Wang Shichong and Li Mi, and take Wei in one fell swoop? Handao is a strategically important place, so you don’t have to worry about Yuhuahua sending troops to attack us?”
"It's a good idea." Chen Sangliang said with a wry smile, "But who is not afraid of being infamous? Even if someone is not afraid of being infamous, how can he convince Yu Wenhuaji that we really won't stab him at a critical moment? No matter what No matter how much Wang Shichong and Li Mi fanned the flames, they wouldn't attack our army? Where would such a person go...?"
Before he finished speaking, Chen Sangliang was stunned suddenly, and blurted out: "Huh?"
"Huh?" Fang Xuanling also exclaimed suddenly in a daze.
"Huh?!" Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng said in unison, and made surprised sounds at the same time.
Then, Chen Sangliang, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng said in unison, "Why did we forget him? Send him to lead the troops to grab the strategic location of Weihan Road, and ask him to come forward and talk to Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenhua in private." To conclude a peace treaty and agree not to fight each other, even if Wang Shichong and Li Mi knelt down and begged Yu Wenhuaji, Yu Wenhuaji would not go to war with him!"
"Prime Minister, several ministers, who are you talking about?" Sun Fujia asked confusedly: "In Daxing City, can there still be such a person? Can he put his face down to do such a scolding thing? "
"He can definitely pull off this face!" Chen Sangliang, Fang Xuanling and others replied in unison.
After all, Chen Sangliang rose up against the case, and said loudly and decisively: "Fu Jia, immediately write a letter to Wang Shichong and Li Mi for me, saying that Xue Ju and Li Gui are colluding to spy on Guanzhong, and the main force of our army cannot go east for the time being. Dao, but the righteousness of the alliance cannot be borne, and the love of Weng and the son-in-law cannot be forgotten! Within ten days, our vanguard army will definitely walk out of Weihan Road and enter Xin'an City to contain Yu Wenhuaji and share the pressure for them!"
