Several flowers bloomed, each with one branch. Just as our shameless Chen Sangliang led the main force back to Daxing, our shameless veteran General Yun Ding Xingyun finally broke up with his former good nephew Yu Wenhua and turned against each other.

The reason for breaking up the face and turning against each other is of course the old general Yun. During the battle in Jinyong City, as long as General Yun takes action in time, the Xiaoguo army will be able to win the decisive victory. Even when the Wang and Li coalition retreat, as long as General Yun is willing, he can also help the Xiaoguo army take advantage of the situation to capture the Limi army camp and completely defeat the main force of Limi army. However, our Old General Yun did not go to the last straw that was crushing the camel. Not only did he hide more than ten miles away from the battlefield and remained silent, but he also rushed to take the army that could control the victory or defeat of the battlefield before Hua Ji brother asked him for help, so that Hua Ji brother's messenger would not have the opportunity to meet and ask for help.

When things came to this point, let alone the treacherous Li Mi and Wang Shichong had already understood Chen Sangliang's real plan. Even our brother Huaji also became suspicious and began to suspect that General Yun just didn't want him to lose, and at the same time he didn't want him to win at all. But our brother Huaji still had a glimmer of hope, so he sent Feng Deyi to ask General Yun to ask General Yun for help, asking General Yun to help him attack Li Mi who had been seriously injured. However, Feng Deyi not only did not ask General Yun for reinforcements, but also took advantage of the opportunity to stay in Xin'an City. He also asked his followers to bring a resignation letter to Brother Huaji, saying that he would resign from all his positions in Huaji's brother's army and change his party to make a living in the new court opened by Chen Sangliang.

The truth was revealed completely. Hua Hua, who had been tricked like a monkey for many days, suddenly realized, and was completely furious. He ordered an attack on Xin'an in an angrily manner, swearing to catch the old general Yun who deceived his innocent heart and Feng Deyi, who shamelessly betrayed him, put it in a sack and trampled to death with three thousand war horses!

However, this order was not implemented at all. The Xiaoguo Army, which had been tortured by severe cold and injuries, suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of Jinyong City, and was seriously injured, now only wanted to rest as soon as possible. So what interest would he have to attack the Sui Army camp, which had been built by General Yun to be stronger than the iron turtle? Therefore, Sima Dekan and Chen Zhiluo and other Xiaoguo Army generals refused to execute the orders and told Brother Hua directly that even if the troops under their command were sent to the battlefield, there would be no possibility of the Sui Army in Guanzhong, which had been able to fight for a long time. On the contrary, they would definitely suffer great defeat and disastrous defeat.

In fact, under his command, Hua Ji's brother, there is a new force of Jinyong City defender, but in addition to guarding Jinyong City, this army also has to guard the civil and military officials and nobles brought by Hua Ji's brother Congjiangdu. At the same time, the two mortal enemies Wang Shichong and Li Mi are still watching Dan Dan. Hua Ji's brother dared not use this last reserve team no matter what. Therefore, when the generals of the Xiaoguo Army refused to fight, although Hua Ji's brother hated the old general Yun to the core, he still had no choice but to do anything and didn't know how to avenge him.

The old general Yun who was hiding in the turtle shell could not be destroyed, nor did Wang Shichong and Li Mi who joined hands to form alliances. Jinyong City was far away from Li Yang Cang and had difficulty transporting grain and grass. The severe cold and wounds were like two nooses, constantly tightening the scarred body of the Xiaoguo Army. At the end of his way, Hua and his brother came up with a very genius idea and decided to lead the army to temporarily withdraw to Hanoi County, shorten the distance of grain and grass supply and let the army rest and rest for the winter, and wait until the weather warms up before taking revenge.

Tactically speaking, Brother Huaji's step back is actually quite correct and impeccable. However, for the morale of the military, Brother Huaji's decision is undoubtedly to dig his own grave. The soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army who were eager to go home just saw a little hope of going home, but Brother Huaji asked them to go back and stay away from their hometown again. The soldiers of Guanzhong were naturally furious immediately! Sima Dekan and Zhao Xingshu and other generals of the Xiaoguo Army were unable to bear it, and finally decided to launch a mutiny and kill Brother Huaji to become his own!

However, unfortunately, Sima Dekan and others lost the luck of success in the Jiangdu mutiny this time. They accidentally leaked the news and were sued. Hua and his brother first made a move to force and pretended to gather the generals to discuss matters, tricked Sima Dekan, Zhao Xingshu and others into Jinyong City and slashed them, and executed Sima Dekan and more than a dozen of his accomplices. Then they immediately ordered to go north to retreat to Hanoi County, without giving Li Mi and Wang Shichong the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Brother Hua Ji seriously underestimated the two heroes of the troubled times, Wang Shichong and Li Mi. The Xiaoguo Army was forced to retreat to Heyang Bridge. Li Mi and Wang Shichong immediately joined forces to pursue and divided their troops to prevent General Yun from taking advantage of the situation. At the same time, Brother Hua Ji also seriously underestimated the patience and tolerance of the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army. The two generals Chen Zhiluo and Fan Wenchao, who were ordered to change the two generals of Chen Zhiluo and Fan Wenchao, accepted Wang Shichong's surrender and surrendered Wang Shichong with their cavalry. Fan Wenchao led his troops and many homesick Guanzhong soldiers to go westward to join the troops under his father's complacent disciple Chen Sangliang. Of course, for Fan Wenchao, this was undoubtedly his most ideal choice.

The melee started again, coveting the good equipment and strong combat effectiveness of the Xiaoguo Army. Wang Shichong and Li Mi both blocked Fan Wenchao's troops and chased him back and forcing Fan Wenchao to surrender to his own army. Fan Wenchao also sent a quick horse to ask for help from General Yun. General Yun, who also knew that the Xiaoguo Army was useful, did not hesitate and immediately led the army to respond. He fought a battle with the Wang and Li coalition forces in the Cijian area. Although he failed to win, he successfully received more than 5,000 Xiaoguo elite soldiers and rescued Fan Wenchao, who was born to face the Sui Army in Guanzhong, and officially opened the curtain for the war between the Sui Army in Guanzhong and the Wang and Li coalition forces.

The same is true in Heyang. The Xiaoguo army, who did not want to go back, surrendered to the Wang Li coalition forces who were pursuing relentlessly. Some surrendered to Li Mi and some surrendered to Wang Shichong. A large number of military supplies were also seized by Wang Li coalition forces. Hua and his brother were forced to cut off the Heyang Bridge to avoid the pursuit of the Wang Li coalition forces and prevent the soldiers from escaping. Finally, Hua and his brother brought more than 90,000 troops to the battlefield in the Dongdu, and only more than 23,000 people accompanied Hua and his brother to escape the Yellow River and fled into Hanoi for temporary residence.

It was okay for Hua Ji brother. His reserve team walked ahead and crossed the Yellow River first, saved the direct army, and saved the civil and military officials and the concubines of Emperor Yang of Sui. At the same time, there were some rear troops and food and grass in Li Yangcang, and Hua Ji brother had some capital to turn things around. At the same time, there were also Meng Haigong and his wife under Li Mi in Hanoi County who could serve as a punching bag for Hua Ji brother. As long as there was a natural danger in the Yellow River, Hua Ji brother who could manage well and implement policies properly, he still had hope of making a comeback. Of course, this was quite difficult for Hua Ji brother.

The melee in the Eastern Capital did not end because of Hua and his brother's north fleeing to Hanoi. On the contrary, it was just a new beginning. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Wang and Li's coalition forces to chase Hua and his brother, the Li Ke Division, the division of the Sui army who had been preparing for a long time, immediately went south and shamelessly took advantage of the opportunity to attack another military important place guarding the Xiongershan intersection. It was also the Yiyang County Magistrate of Chen Sangliang. He had long been secretly acquainted with the Sui army in Guanzhong. He did not hesitate. He immediately opened the city gate to welcome Li Keshi's army into the city. When Wang Shichong, who was honorary in controlling Yiyang County, received the news, Li Keshi's army had already deepened the moat of Yiyang half a foot.

By the way, Li Niaozhe also hurriedly did something quite amazing when he entered Yiyang County - he immediately sent Feng Shui master to explore the terrain of Chen Sangliang's ancestral grave, and then he came to the conclusion that Chen Sangliang's ancestral grave was buried on the dragon vein, and it was widely publicized by the people. Although Yuan Tiangang, a Feng Shui master under Chen Sangliang, came to explore the terrain later and found that Chen Sangliang's ancestral grave was buried in the place where Chen Sangliang's ancestral grave was buried. No matter how you look at it, Yuan Tiangang naturally would not make a name for himself. This is a later story, so I will not mention it here.

Finally, he completely broke his face with his unscrupulous son-in-law. In anger, Wang Shichong not only began to fight with his son-in-law, but also sent people to General Yun to raise an army and question the crime. He righteously asked General Yun to go back to Guanzhong and return the two counties of Xin'an and Yiyang to gain a moral advantage and then fight with his son-in-law. However, unfortunately, the envoy of Wang Shichong not only saw General Yun's precious nephew Yun Fu in Xin'an, but also saw a soldier who defected Wang Shichong, which proved that Wang Shichong sent someone to pretend to be the Xiaoguo Army to chase Yun Fu. Then General Yun scolded the envoy of Wang Shichong and expelled him from the city.

He found himself seriously underestimated Wang Shichong and was angry and wanted to dispatch his main army to attack Xin'an and kill General Yun. However, at this moment, news came from Daxing that Chen Sangliang had already broken through Xue Ju and led the main force back to Daxing. Wang Shichong was shocked and did not dare to act rashly. He could only change his mind and invite Li Mi to meet him, preparing to negotiate with Li Mi in the next step of joining forces to resist Chen Sangliang's attack, and also asked Li Mi to promise to give him half of the grain in Luokou warehouse.

Li Mi accepted Wang Shichong's invitation very happily. The two of them each led twenty guards and met on the banks of the Luoshui River to start negotiations. However, as the negotiations officially began, Wang Shichong immediately found that Li Mi was so happy, because Li Mi said so, "Mr. Zheng, our two armies suffered a lot in the Battle of Jinyong City, and urgently needed time to rest and restore their vitality. Fortunately, Chen Yingliang's main force had just returned from the northern expedition, and the soldiers were exhausted and needed time to rest, so we should now attack and get back Xin immediately? and Yiyang, and strangle the natural dangerous places of Wuhandao and Xionger Mountain in order to resist the large-scale attack of Chen Yingliang's traitors in the future."

After saying that, Li Mi smiled and suggested, "Since that's the case, Mr. Zheng, do you think this is feasible? The defenders on Xin'an and Yiyang are similar. You might as well send troops to attack Xin'an. I will attack Yiyang, advance and retreat together, and never withdraw troops unless I take down these two cities. How about?"

Li Mi's suggestion of course only seemed fair, but in fact he tricked Wang Shichong into his grandmother's house. Xin'an tightened the official road and his strategic position was much more important than Yiyang, but Yiyang only strangled the Xionger Mountain Road. Even if the Sui army lost the Guanzhong, it would not be too distressed. As long as the road was blocked, it would still have a defensive effect, at most it would only lose a chance to send a surprise troops. So in this way, if they were really sent troops to attack the city according to Li Mi's proposal, Li Mi would definitely face much smaller resistance, and Wang Shichong would definitely be strongly resisted by the Sui army. In order to ensure the control of the entire Guhandao natural danger, Chen Sangliang sent troops to reinforce Xin'an might be very big.

"Traitor!" After cursing Li Mi's treacherous words, Wang Shichong calculated again, and then asked tentatively: "Duke Wei, can you send troops to Xin'an and I send troops to Yiyang?"

"Mr. Zheng, is it convenient for me to send troops to Xin'an?" Li Mi immediately exclaimed in a hypocritical voice, saying: "If I send troops to Xin'an, I must pass through your defense zone. Both food, grass, military supplies and military mobilization must pass through the city of Dongdu. At that time, the soldiers under you and my command will have some misunderstandings and conflicts. Wouldn't it immediately hurt the alliance between you and me, and give Chen Yingliang, Yu Wenhua and these common enemies the opportunity to sow discord? How good is your son-in-law in this regard? Don't you not know how good your son-in-law is in this regard?"

Wang Shichong wanted to punch Li Mi in the nose, but for various reasons, Wang Shichong finally endured this and changed his words: "What Mr. Wei said is that it is more convenient for me to send troops to Xin'an, but now I am tired of soldiers and soldiers are tired of fighting, so I cannot send troops to Xin'an for the time being. Let us not move our troops for the time being. Let him be free for a while. When the fighter jets are mature in the future, how can we discuss how to advance?"

Li Mi, who was acting as a human shield, smiled and immediately agreed that there was no problem. Wang Shichong took the opportunity to raise military rations again. Li Mi laughed again when he heard this and said, "Mr. Zheng, in the alliance we signed, it seems that it was agreed to join forces to break Yu Wenhe and after I have defeated Yu Wenhe, I will give you half of the food? Now Yu Wenhe is just being beaten away by us. It seems that he has not completely broken him, right?"

Hearing this, Wang Shichong's forehead immediately rushes, and his hands subconsciously clench into fists. Although Li Mi is not afraid of this, Li Mi changed his mind and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Mr. Zheng, Li Mi is not a person who is untrustworthy. Although Yu Culture and the thief have not been completely eradicated, they are still entrenched in the Hanoi County bordering you and me, but I also know that Mr. Zheng, you are currently short of food and grass and need to be supplemented urgently. Do you think this is OK? I will give you 10% of the grain in Luokou Cang, and wait for you and I to break the Yu Culture and the remnants, take off Yu Culture and the heads of ordinary men, and then give you the remaining 40%?"

Wang Shichong's expression slowed down. After a little calculation, Wang Shichong said: "30%! You have to give me 30% of the food in Luokoucang first! No matter who breaks Yu Culture and every man dies, you must give me the remaining 20%!"

It was Li Mi's turn to calculate, and after a moment, Li Mi said, "Twenty percent, you can send someone to Luokou Cang to transport grain, and you can bear the consumption of the road. Besides, you have to give me 30,000 pieces of cloth!"

"I can give you 30,000 pieces of cloth, but I have to exchange for 30,000 stones of grain." Wang Shichong replied calmly.

"make a deal!"

Li Mi agreed immediately, and Wang Shichong turned angry and hurriedly negotiated with Li Mi on details such as the exchange date and grain storage statistics. At the same time, he agreed to return to Luocheng as the boundary and divide the territory of Henan County. Li Mi also showed great sincerity and made considerable concessions to reach an agreement with Wang Shichong. At the same time, he agreed to be responsible for the self-army stationed in Heyangdu, preventing Jianhua and his brother from going south again, successfully completing the post-war negotiations that almost turned against each other. However, just as the two sides bid farewell to each other, Li Mi casually added, saying: "Mr. Zheng, Chen Yingliang is your son-in-law. If he sends an envoy to rebuild the old with you, or if someone from your subordinates proposes to take the initiative to rebuild the old with Chen Yingliang, I wonder if you will accept it?"

"No wonder I promised to give me 20% of the food. It turned out that I was afraid of pushing me to Chen Yingliang's side." Wang Shichong suddenly realized and smiled and said, "Of course not. Don't worry, if you believe me, I will not go back on my word."

"That's good." Li Mi nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Don't blame me for not reminding you that Chen Yingliang has the dangers of mountains and rivers and has the ambitions of the world. If you are willing to live in the underworld, you may be able to get along with him in a friendly manner. But if you want to be in a stalemate with him, your son-in-law will probably not tolerate you. Regarding this, please don't forget."

"Of course, Mr. Wei will never forget it." Wang Shichong smiled and thanked, but thought to himself: "Get the food first. When the food is handed over, I will send someone Chen Yingliang to contact you immediately. As long as he agrees to split the soil with me and control it, let me see how I deal with you, a husband!"

After Li Mi returned to the camp, his decision was naturally strongly opposed by his confidants. They all felt that Li Mi should not agree to give Wang Shichong 20% ​​of the food first. He should have an excuse that he had not completely wiped out Yu Wen and did not give Wang Shichong a single piece of food. Li Mi replied helplessly: "Of course I don't want to give Wang Shichong a grain of food and a horse grass, but there is no way. If I don't take out 20% of the food to stabilize Wang Shichong, this ordinary man will definitely turn to Chen Yingliang's traitor, and Chen Yingliang's traitor will also immediately send troops to help him fight us. How can we resist if we are already seriously injured by the energy?"

"But we gave the food to Wang Shichong, and the shameless man turned to Chen Yingliang again?" Chai Xiaohe reminded: "Wang Shichong's man can definitely do such a thing!"

"I believe that he can do it, but neither he nor Chen Yingliang's traitors are fools." Li Mi replied: "The little traitor Chen Yingliang will definitely drive the tiger and swallow the wolf, deliberately supporting Wang Shichong to attack us. Wang Shichong must also consider the consequences of fighting both sides of the defeat. Even if he is ruthless with Chen Yingliang's traitors, he will definitely not really fight with us. In this way, we will have to buy crucial time."

"Duke Wei, what are we going to do to get time?" Yuwen Wen asked curiously.

"Of course it is to reorganize the troops and expand the army." Li Mi replied with a smile: "Behind us is the Central China Plain, with vast land and numerous counties. Although most of these counties have been destroyed now, there are still hundreds of thousands of sources of troops. It is quite easy to replenish troops and expand the army. Just give us some time and reorganize an army of 200,000 to 300,000. Does Wang Shichong have this advantage?"

"No." Chai Xiaohe woke up and said hurriedly: "Wang Shichong is surrounded by enemies on all sides, only the Dongdu city, the source of troops is quite limited, and one soldier dies less, and if the stalemate continues, he is destined to be our opponent. Wei Gong sacrifices 20% of the food to temporarily stabilize him to avoid him from rushing to fight with us with the support of Chen Yingliang. Then we take the opportunity to expand our army and prepare for war. Don't say that Wang Shichong is destined to be our opponent, even if Chen Yingliang goes out to the east, we may not have no hope of turning defeat into victory!"

The civil and military officials of Li Mi's army suddenly realized the truth, and praised Li Mi for his foresight, far-sightedness, planning in the tent, and winning thousands of miles away. However, Li Mi shook his head with a self-awareness and said with a wry smile: "You guys, there is no need to flatter me. I was forced to do this because I chose to act like this. And I am sure that I can see this, and Chen Yingliang's traitor can also see this. Can he give us time and opportunity to make a comeback? It's still a matter of two things."

After a bitter smile, Li Mi casually ordered: "Go and bring Ren Jin, the envoy who took the initiative to defect to our Taiyuan Li family, and I want to discuss with him the major event of joining hands with the Li family in Taiyuan."

"Duke Wei, what are you doing to form an alliance with the Li family in Taiyuan?" Wang Xuance, a confidential secretary, spoke in a rare manner and asked in confusion: "The Li brothers were beaten by Chen Yingliang and had already run to Taiyuan to survive. They were thousands of miles away from us. It was useless to establish an alliance with them?"
Chapter completed!
