Chapter 163 Win-Win Plan!
Chapter 163 A win-win plan!
After hearing what Shen Luoyan said, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling thought for a moment and felt that what Shen Luoyan said made sense.
Now Li Mi is under attack from enemies on all sides and is already in a very dangerous position. If he is not careful, he will be doomed.
At this time, they must want to put all their energy into dealing with these enemies, and there should be no spare energy to deal with them again.
Thinking of this, Kou Zhong said to Shen Luoyan: "In that case, let Zhai Jiao go and send us out of the city yourself!"
Although Shen Luoyan's words were very reasonable, it did not mean that they had no precautions.
If you want them to completely trust Shen Luoyan, then send them out of the city first!
Shen Luoyan smiled slightly and said, "No problem, I will make arrangements and take you out of the city in person."
Shen Luoyan did what he said and quickly arranged everything.
One of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling went back to inform Duan Yu and Su Su to go with them, while the other stayed to monitor Shen Luoyan to prevent Shen Luoyan from playing any tricks.
After everyone gathered together, Shen Luoyan said to everyone: "The horses have been prepared for you. Now you can leave the city directly from the north gate and go all the way north to Wagang Village."
Duan Yu heard this and smiled and said: "As the saying goes, it's better to resolve enemies than to make knots. It's great that we can put aside our prejudices and become friends."
Zhai Jiao snorted coldly when she heard this and said, "Mr. Duan, she is not so kind! She just wants to take advantage of us!"
With that said, Zhai Jiao briefly told Duan Yu the previous conversation in the study.
Only then did Duan Yu realize that Li Mi's situation was already so dangerous, so it was no wonder he took the initiative to release Zhai Jiao.
Shen Luoyan did not explain, and the others said nothing more, and all mounted their horses and headed towards the north gate.
When they arrived at the North City Gate, it had already been opened. Shen Luoyan took the lead and rushed out of the North City Gate, followed closely by Kou Zhong and others.
After leaving Xingyang City for several miles, Shen Luoyan reined in his horse, turned to Xu Ziling and said, "I have done everything I promised you."
Xu Ziling nodded when he heard this and said, "Then let's say goodbye."
Shen Luoyan looked at Xu Ziling and asked curiously: "What do you think about the double dragon phenomenon? Do you really think you two can become the overlord in the future?"
Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "Who knows what will happen in the future."
At this point, Xu Ziling paused briefly and added: "Of course, Mr. Huo must know."
Shen Luoyan nodded lightly, said nothing more, stepped aside and said, "Please."
Xu Ziling nodded and then galloped away.
After he was far away from Shen Luoyan, Kou Zhong approached Xu Ziling, winked and said, "Why do I look at this woman as if she is interested in you?"
Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "I'm not like you, who makes everyone fall in love with me at first sight."
Kou Zhong chuckled and said, "I used to think that this girl was not a good person, but now I suddenly feel that she is pretty good again."
Xu Ziling replied: "I used to think she was not a good person, just because everyone was their own master."
Kou Zhong thought for a while, nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. She is Li Mi's military advisor. Of course she has to think more about Li Mi."
The two of them stopped talking and just focused on their way.
…
The sky is dim.
The people who were galloping all the way finally arrived at Wagang Village. With Zhai Jiao there, they naturally entered the city unimpeded and galloped all the way to Dalongtou Mansion.
After hearing the news, Zhai Rang was already waiting in front of the door. When he saw Zhai Jiao's figure appearing in front of him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Daddy!"
"Jiao'er!"
Zhai Jiao dismounted and ran quickly to Zhai Rang. Zhai Rang also quickly stepped forward and embraced Zhai Jiao.
Although this reunion between father and daughter is very touching, due to Zhai Jiao's tall figure, it looks more like a reunion between brothers, which inevitably makes people feel weird and funny.
After a brief embrace, Zhai Jiao said to Zhai Rang: "Dad, my daughter is unfilial. She almost made a big mistake because of her playfulness!"
As the saying goes, once again, twice, never again. After these two lessons, Zhai Jiao really has a long memory, and she will never go out for fun and harm the Wagang Army again.
Zhai Rang nodded repeatedly and said nothing to teach Zhai Jiao a lesson, because he knew his daughter well and knew that Zhai Jiao would never do such a thing again now that she had woken up.
"By the way, daddy, my daughter brought back a secret letter when she came back this time!"
After saying that, Zhai Jiao took out the secret letter that Shen Luoyan personally handed to him and handed it to Zhai Rang.
Zhai Rang took the secret letter and did not open it immediately. Instead, he handed it to Wang Ruxin beside him for inspection first.
"Let's go in and talk."
Zhai Rang let Zhai Jiao go in first, and then looked at the others.
He first greeted Duan Yu, a young master with a special status, and then looked at Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling.
He had seen the portraits of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling before, so he recognized them both at the first sight.
He glanced meaningfully at Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and then said: "These are my daughter's friends. They are my Zhai Rang's guests. Please come in."
When everyone heard this, they didn't say anything, and they all followed Zhai Rang towards the door.
After everyone came to the front hall and sat down one after another, Wang Ruxin brought the secret letter in his hand to Zhai Rang and indicated with his eyes that there was no problem with the secret letter.
Zhai Rang took the secret letter in his hand and read it carefully, with a look of deep thought on his face.
Zhai Jiao, who was sitting aside, asked curiously: "Dad, what was written in the letter?"
Zhai Rang did not shy away from the crowd, and replied in a slightly subtle tone: "Shen Luoyan suggested that we send troops out of Wuyang County."
When everyone heard Zhai Rang's words, they were slightly stunned at first, and then they understood what Shen Luoyan meant.
"What a great move to surround Wei and save Zhao!"
Duan Yu sighed in admiration.
Qi County and Wuyang County are adjacent to each other. The 15,000 troops commanded by Qi County General Guard Zhang Xutuo were drawn from the two counties. Now Wuyang County and Qi County have lost most of their troops, and their defenses are extremely weak.
If the Wagang Army sends troops to attack Wuyang County, it will definitely be able to capture Wuyang County easily and threaten Qi County.
Under this situation, Zhang Xutuo must have been anxious and unable to take care of both ends, so he withdrew his troops and returned to support Qi County.
As a result, Li Mi was suddenly attacked from all sides by two, leaving only Wang Shichong and Yuan Wendu, and the pressure was greatly reduced.
Although the Wagang Army may not be able to capture Qi County, it can at least capture Wuyang County, which is not without gain.
This can be said to be a win-win situation.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling also quickly figured out the key, and they were both amazed by Shen Luoyan's move.
Zhai Rang chose to attack Li Mi because he wanted to rescue Zhai Jiao.
Now that Zhai Jiao has returned, there is naturally no need to send troops to attack Li Mi. If you can take advantage of the situation and easily seize a county to expand your territory, why not do it.
Zhai Rang glanced at everyone and said: "I plan to adopt Shen Luoyan's plan, but in order to prevent the plan from being leaked, I would like to ask you to stay in the house temporarily and wait until the war is over before leaving. I will definitely entertain you with good wine and meat next time. Please understand."
When everyone heard Zhai Rang's words, they couldn't help but look at each other.
Although Zhai Rang did this a bit rudely, but if you think about it from Zhai Rang's perspective, it's understandable.
After all, the attack on Wuyang County is of great importance. If the news leaks out, the success may be in vain.
Thinking of this, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other and asked Duan Yu: "Brother Duan, what do you think?"
Duan Yu replied: "I have no relatives or friends here. It would be great if I could spend some time with my two brothers again."
Hearing this, Kou Zhong said to Zhai Rang: "In that case, let's stay in the mansion for the time being and wait for the big dragon head to make a triumphant return before leaving."
Zhai Rang stood up and held his hands in his hands, saying, "Thank you very much."
…
afternoon.
Xingyang City.
Li Mi and Shen Luoyan stood together, looking toward Luoyang.
Shen Luoyan said to Li Mi: "Mi Gong, I have put Zhai Jiao back, and Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling have also gone together."
Li Mi nodded slightly and said, "You did a good job."
Shen Luoyan continued: "The secret agents have reported back that Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling stayed in Wagang Village and did not leave."
Li Mi laughed and said: "Zhai asked this man to be ambitious and left Kou Zhong behind. Xu Ziling must have wanted to wait until he captured Wuyang County to murder them and seize their luck!"
When Shen Luoyan heard this, the expression on her face couldn't help but become a little complicated.
She had this idea when she let Zhai Jiao go, escorted Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling away, and asked them to go to Wagang Village together.
Her plan to plot against Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling was naturally to cause some trouble for the Wagang Army, but it would also pose a certain threat to Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, which inevitably made her feel a little guilty.
Li Mi didn't know what Shen Luoyan was thinking at this time. What he was thinking about at this time was the future territory of the dynasty.
He would try to delay Zhang Xutuo's return to aid Qi County, allowing Zhai Rang to seize Qi County, and then threaten Pingyuan County and Bohai County. Zhai Rang's Wagang Army would be his first line of defense against the north.
As long as the Wagang army is not destroyed, neither Li Clan of Taiyuan nor Murong Fu of Zhuo County can advance into the Central Plains.
The Eastern Turks were eyeing them, and Li Clan and Murong Fu had no choice but to resist the Turks in the hopeless situation in the Central Plains.
In this way, he can focus all his energy on the Central Plains and Jiangnan.
After he had all Jiangnan and the Central Plains in his hands, he mobilized his army to sweep away Zhai Rang, Murong Fu and the Li clan, and blocked the Eastern Turks from Yanmen, completing the great cause of unification!
Of course, this is just his initial idea, which is a development under the best circumstances. What the actual situation will be is still unknown.
But he has confidence in himself, and he will definitely be able to build his own dynasty step by step according to this idea!
Li Mi's fate is controlled by himself, not by God!
