"A good hand, but Li Mi played a very rare game. Yang Xuangan was not much stronger after all."
Lushun Port.
Luo Chengzheng, Feng Xiaoci and Qu Tutong were separated. Feng Xiaoci led two vassal legions and a Zhongwu army to land on a boat on Qinhuangdao and attack Fanyang.
Luo Cheng led Zhao Gui, Jia Runpu, Qi Guoyuan, Li Rugui, Qin Qiong, and Yuchi Gong to Shandong, with the target of Pengcheng and Jiangdu.
"Shu general Guan Yu is good at pacifying soldiers but is inferior to sects and officials. Zhang Fei respects sects and officials but is inferior to sects and officials. The two generals' approaches are somewhat biased. Their final death was caused by their character and behavior." Luo Cheng looked at the boats at the port, "Yang Xuangan was brave and decisive, but unfortunately he was too impatient and radical. Li Mi knew strategy, but was limited by the innate nature. When he launched a military campaign, he relied on bandits and bandits and soldiers, only to seek great strength. However, his huge Wei army has many internal factions and has not really digested them at all. Last year, he swallowed Meng Rang again. Although his subordinates did not dare to complain, how could he be without resentment?"
"As for Dou Jiande from Hebei, he was a small landlord, kind and loyal, so he was able to win the hearts of the people of Hebei and was good at uniting and recruiting officials and scholars. Therefore, he is also very powerful now. However, when I look at Dou Jiande, he is too benevolent and righteous, and some have forgotten the essence of fighting for hegemony. Sometimes, if you are not ruthless, you can't defeat the country."
This Xia and Wei battle originated from Luo Cheng's plan to kill three soldiers. Cao Bao was deceived first. Dou Jiande also realized that this was a trap, so he should give up Cao Bao, but he wanted to save him. As a result, after all the rescue, the entire Xia army was mobilized by Li Mi, and was completely passive.
If it were just Xia and Wei, it would be nothing, but now there are Li Yuan, Luo Cheng, Wang Shichong, and even Dugu Qiang of Fan Yang. At this time, he would run to Li Mi's territory with all his might and fight against Li Mi to a decisive battle. This is undoubtedly very unwise.
"Li Mi will be defeated in the future because his army is full of mixed troops and is not good at being unstable. Now his situation is good, so naturally all the generals of the army can respect Li Mi. Once Li Mi fails, it may be a scattered beast. Although Dou Jiande is good at peace in Hebei, he will eventually be defeated by decision."
Jia Runpu said, "These two are considered heroes for a while, but compared to you, the Grandmaster, that's far behind."
Luo Cheng laughed, "Old Jia, when did you become flattering?"
"This is not flattery. I'm telling the truth. If we want to learn from Li Mi, we will definitely be able to support 400,000 or 500,000 people now, and maybe even 30 or 40 counties. However, the general will never do this kind of behavior of only eating and digestion. Although we don't see the territory and not many soldiers now, we are honestly not afraid of losing even if our Zhongwu Army fails for a while. Even if we have a single breath, we can get up again, but is Li Mi okay?"
Luo Cheng nodded. This was indeed the biggest reliance of the Zhongwu Army.
They have a very stable rear area, especially after subduing Yuan Taizuo, Luo Cheng has no worries and can safely farm and develop border markets. This is extremely rare today.
Whether it is Guanlong Hexi, Shannan, Jiannan, Hebei and Hedong, Central Plains, Jianghuai, or even Lingnan, the situation is turbulent.
It is difficult for the people to live and work in peace, and there are a large number of refugees and beggars.
However, in the foreign Anton, the food prices have been stable in recent years, and there have been no wars within the territory. The several military use has been very short and there have been no casualties.
Compared with the continuous outflow of population in many places, Andong Road has rapidly inflowed in recent years and increased its population.
Many heroes who were separating the country were confused, and their soldiers, especially those soldiers at the bottom, did not know why and for whom.
That's why Li Mi killed Meng Rang and was able to swallow up the ten counties of Meng Rang and 200,000 soldiers in one bite.
There is the killing of Jiangdu Xiaoguo Army.
The mutual attacks between Long and Hexi.
And what about Andong's generals?
Although Luo Cheng was considered a separatist and even rebelled with troops, did the soldiers care about these things? Not many people care. They regarded themselves as Liao people and Luo as guardians. They tied themselves and Luo Chengdu together, and shared their destiny to protect Liaodong and fight for their families and tomorrow.
They went on a war, and they fought in a passionate manner, hoping to win triumph as soon as possible.
In fact, for ordinary soldiers, they do not care about loyalty and righteousness, but do not care so much.
Especially at this time, there are turmoil everywhere, so the people care more about stability. Whoever can bring peace to everyone will support whoever they support. Therefore, Luo Cheng is a solid piece outside the pass, Dou Jiande started from the grassroots, and now he has been praised as the emperor by the people of Hebei.
As for Li Mi and Yang Guang, although they seemed to be strong, they only focused on fighting to seize territory, did not appease the people, resume production, and relieve the people. Therefore, the people in the Central Plains had no feelings for them at all.
Now it’s just because of his great power that everyone can only dare not speak out. Once Li Mi’s army is defeated, who will fight for him?
Just like Yang Guang, he tossed the world to this point, and all the places rebelled. Although there were still some loyal people, most of them were noble officials. Those who received the favor of Yang Guang, as for the people, there were a few people who care about their lives and death, and even his good deeds would be his counterattack and kill him, which shows the people's hearts.
Although Dou Jiande was defeated in history, the people of Hebei were still building temples to commemorate him until the Five Dynasties. Why? Because he was able to calm the people in troubled times, he won the hearts of the people.
"In this way, Dou Jiande and Li Mi are not real dragon emperors, they are just dragons. Now that these two dragons are fighting, the general said who may win?"
Lao Jia asked.
Since his father's death, Jia Runpu has been transferred to the shogunate in recent years, and is responsible for logistics and ordnance. After all, he lacks an arm, so it is not suitable to go to the battle to rush. When he transferred to the shogunate, he also read more books, so the problem is very different from before.
"With the two tigers fighting each other, there will be no winner, it will only be the result of both losses. The real thing to be wary of is Li Yuan and Wang Shichong. Wang Shichong dares to support King Yue in Luoyang to be the emperor, which means he has a lot of ambitions and cannot be underestimated by this person. And Li Yuan, now he is huddled to Pengcheng, deliberately showing weakness, and just want to gain the benefits of a fisherman, he is not a good person."
"Since that's the case, why don't we attack Pengcheng Li Yuan first, but instead attack Jiangdu first?"
'Once, Du Fuwei suffered several defeats under Chen Ling's hands, and Fu Gonghu, who was left behind in Jiangnan, was also besieged by three families. Both of them were in critical condition. As a fire was put out, we had to protect them first. Furthermore, taking Jiangdu first can cut off Li Yuan's retreat. After all, Li Yuan still has nearly 100,000 troops in his hands, among which Xiaoguo is Xiaoguo. Although Xiaoguo is not as good as Siye at that time, the equipment and training are OK. If you force him to force him to bite us, it will cause us a lot of casualties. Maybe Li Mi or Dou Jiande will come to get the bargain, so we will not fight Li Yuan first, but attack Jiangdu first."
Old Jia smiled and said, "You can speak clearly, explain clearly in a few words."
"What will happen in the future? I mean, we defeat these people, how will you deal with them, such as Li Yuan, Li Mi, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, and others?" Lao Jia asked.
