Five hundred and tenth chapter Chen Li alliance
For Yu Wen and the army, although the advance to Hanoi was the result of the envoys of Li Erjun fanning the flames, it was also a helpless choice. To be precise, it was a helpless and the most correct choice.
The reason is of course the two obstacles between Wang Shichong and Li Mi. Although Li Mi's army, after Tongshan's defeat, could no longer be the opponent of Yu Wen and the army on the front battlefield, Hulao Guantian is still in the hands of Li Mi's army. As long as Li Mi's army guards Hulao, they cannot get out of Hulao Guan. With the support of the grain of Jiancheng Xiong Pass and Luokoucang, even if they cannot stop Yu Wen and the army in the end, they can still make Yu Wen and the army collapse. The same is true here. Wang Shichong's army, who is sticking to the Dongdu City, can also make Yu Wen and the army pay a heavy price in the battle and consume a large number of vital forces.
Of course, if Yu Wenji and Li Mi and Wang Shichong can sit down and have a good talk, Li Mi is not without the possibility of lending a way to Yu Wenji and moving westward. Wang Shichong can also let Yu Wenji and bypass the east capital. This will be a win-win situation for the three families. The only unlucky one will be Chen Sangliang, who occupied Yu Wenji and his hometown. But the problem is that Li Mi has to guard against Yu Wenji and suddenly turning against him when he was using Hulao Pass, and Yu Wenji and he also have to guard against Li Mi suddenly taking revenge on Tongshan. Once Yu Wenji and his advance westward are blocked, the old and treacherous Wang Shichong will never be polite to the retreat path. Therefore, even Yu Wenji and such a fool know that shaking hands with Li Mi and Wang Shichong is the most beneficial, but they dare not take this big risk.
Two reasons also determine that Yu Wen and the impossible is to be cramped in Li Yang Cang. First, of course, the grain in Li Yang Cang has been tossed by Li Mi. Yu Wen and his army have taken over Li Yang Cang, and the grain in the warehouse is less than 30% left, which is only enough for Yu Wen and his army to fight for half a year. Second, Yu Wen and his soldiers are returning home, and they all look forward to returning to their hometown in Guanzhong as soon as possible and reunite with their families who have not met for more than two years. In order to go home, the soldiers of the Xiao Guo Army have killed Emperor Yang of Sui and will never mind killing Yu Wen.
So there is no way. Although he knew that the road from Hanoi to Hedong was rugged and difficult to walk, and it was difficult to get a guarantee of food and supplies, in order to appease the soldiers under his command, Yu Wen and his brothers were also very homesick. After receiving Li Er's support and the promise of providing food and grass, Yu Wen and his troops still sent 10,000 Sima Dekan's commander to advance westward, attacking the east gate of Hanoi, Linwei Customs clearance, and sent a letter to force Zheng Qianxiang, the general manager appointed by Li Mi, to surrender, preparing to take down Hanoi first and open up direct contact with Li Er, and then decide how to advance.
With the blessing of historical changes, Sima Dekan was killed by Yu Wenji before he was south of the Yellow River. The victory of the Tongshan Battle also resolved many Sima Dekan's dissatisfaction with Yu Wenji. Therefore, Sima Dekan, who was very good at attacking the Hanoi County, still spent a lot of effort to fight. As a result, this made Zheng Qianxiang and the Hanoi bandits under his command. Even if they were defending the Linqing Little Pass to the death, they still couldn't resist the Xiaoguo elite soldiers armed to the teeth attacked and attacked fiercely.
In less than a day, the Xiaoguo army was captured by the Xiaoguo army, who had eaten and drunk enough to kill and was red. Zheng Qianxiang paid a heavy price but could not stop Sima Dekan. He had to lead the remaining defeated generals to abandon the pass and flee, hurriedly fled back to the Hanoi County Government to guard the city behind closed doors. Gongcheng, Xinxiang and other counties around the customs clearance were very scared, and they opened the city to surrender to Sima Dekan. Yu Wen and his army successfully entered the hinterland of Hanoi, looked down at the eastern capital Luoyang, and saw a glimmer of hope to open up direct contact with Li Er.
The good news was sent back to Li Yangcang. Yu Weng and he was sleeping with the concubine of Emperor Yang of Sui. He was overjoyed. Then he felt that his army was strong and invincible in the world. No matter that force, it was not his opponent. In fact, this was true. Even Chen Sangliang's army might not be able to defeat Yu Weng. However, at this moment, the bad news suddenly came. Chen Sangliang had already killed the main force of Li's army with the power of the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, restored the counties in southern Jin, and immediately increased troops to Jiang County, blocking the only way for Yu Weng and his army to cross the Zhongtiao Mountains and go west to Hedong. The difficulty of Yu Weng and his army to fight back to Guanzhong through Hedong has suddenly increased.
Ren Qin, the conscientious envoy of Li Erjun, still desperately persuaded Yu Wenhua and attacked Hedong, hoping to use Yu Wenhua and this knife to avenge his master Li Er. Unfortunately, even Yu Wenshi, who had a deep relationship with the old Li family, refused to listen to him. Not only did he not help Ren Qin cheat his brother, but Yu Wenshi, who saw his own magnitude of glimmer of the world, also tried his best to persuade Yu Wenhua and change his strategy, first seize Dongdu and Luokoucang, gain a foothold and completely solve the food and grass problems, and then attempted to take Guanzhong west and sweep the world.
In fact, the situation is quite beneficial to Yu Wen and the army. Although the three bitches Chen Sangliang, Wang Shichong and Li Mi may join forces to deal with Yu Wen and, the three bitches have many conflicts with each other, and the conflict of interest is absolutely impossible to resolve. It is actually easy to separate them. At the same time, with the temporary worry-free food and grass, Yu Wen and the army, who have successfully entered the hinterland of Hanoi, can go south from Heyang H bypass Hulao Pass and attack Li Mi directly behind and behind. During this period, as long as the strategy is used properly, it is very easy to completely isolate Chen Sangliang and Wang Shichong, who have a grudge against him. Then, with the strong military strength of Yu Wen and the army, it is easier to kill Li Mi who has been seriously injured than to kill an ant.
In view of this, Yu Wenshi and Feng Deyi, who pulled the bones softer than cooked noodles, designed a plan for advance for Yu Wenwen and He, and suggested that the army be divided into two, one guarded Liyang Cang and be responsible for protecting the grain road in Hanoi. The main force took Heyang to cross the Yellow River southward. With the reputation of Emperor Tianshou Yang Hao, Wang Shichong and Chen Sangliang were appointed as kings to comfort each other, in exchange for them not to help Li Mi, and then used a small number of troops to guard the Western Front. The main force attacked Luokou Cang and first took food, and then attacked Hulao Pass. It was of course best. If Li Mi could not force the submission, he could also force him to give up Hulao Guandong and escape. Then Yu Wen and his army turned around and wanted to deal with Wang Shichong and Chen Sangliang.
Yu Wenhe was very moved by the suggestions put forward by his third brother and Feng Deyi, and nodded to agree to adopt this strategy. However, in terms of how to appease and bribe Chen Sangliang and Wang Shichong, Yu Wenhe did not listen to Yu Wenshi and Feng Deyi's idea, and only agreed to give Chen Sangliang a title of King Tang and Wang Shichong a title of King Zheng. He was unwilling to take out a handful of gold and jewelry to buy important civil and military generals under Chen Sangliang and Wang Shichong. He was very stingy and only took a little symbolic gift, and then sent an envoy to take the imperial edict of Emperor Tianshou Yang Hao. This is naturally a matter of water coming into Yu Wenhe's head. If he was willing to buy the civil and military officials under Chen Sangliang, he might not be sure of bribing Chen Sangliang's civil and military officials, but there is great hope to buy the greedy Lao Wang family.
However, Yu Wenji also did something that was not considered a magical oil, which was to forge an imperial edict to seal the title of King of Wei for Li, and sent someone to Hulao Pass to surrender Li Mi again, trying to surrender the three bitches in troubled times at the same time, thinking that even if you can only pull one bitch to your side, you can get huge help and reduce huge pressure. Although Yu Wenshi and Feng Deyi and others felt that there was definitely no hope, considering that doing so could demonstrate the kindness and righteousness of the self-army, they did not object and let Yu Wenji go to trouble.
Yu Wen and Ross Bodou Feng Deyi's ability to conspire was limited after all. He didn't know that Yu Wenjie's random troubles were actually a coincidence, and he happened to hit the most important point. In fact, Chen Sangliang and Wang Shichong were both afraid that Li Mi would turn against him and stood on Yu Wenjie's side. Li Mi himself, if he was forced by the situation, he would never mind temporarily surrendering to Yu Wenjie and his knees. At the same time, in Li Mi's heart, a more ambitious plan was still brewing...
If Wang Shichong had not listened to Chen Sangliang's suggestion and sent someone to contact Li Mi first, maybe Li Mi would have gone directly to Baoyu Wenji's thigh. After Wang Xuanshu returned to Dongdu with the pine cannon drawings and Chen Sangliang's suggestion, Wang Shichong laughed wildly for ten minutes and said hundreds of good son-in-law. Then, without even blinking his eyelids, he immediately ordered to imitate the pine cannon. At the same time, he immediately sent an envoy out of the city to contact Li Mijun, demanding that the mountains of silk cloth piled up in the Dongdu city exchange food with Li Mijun.
As Chen Sangliang expected, the middle of winter was approaching, and Li Mi's army, who had no cloth source, was worried about the wintering cold clothes. Therefore, although Li Mi did not want to have any contact with Wang Shichong, nor did she want Wang Shichong to relieve the food shortage, she could not resist the repeated persuasion and begging of all the civil and military officials under her. At the same time, in order to leave a way out for prevention, Li Mi still reluctantly accepted Wang Shichong's request and exchanged 20,000 stones of grain from Wang Shichong to 30,000 pieces of cloth.
With the first time, of course there will be a second time. After finally reconnecting with Li Mi, Wang Shichong, who urgently needed Li Mi to be the cannon fodder shield, beat the snake and follow the stick, and immediately sent someone to go to Hulao Pass. While quietly bribing Li Mi's confidants, he persuaded Li Mi to form an alliance with him and join forces to deal with the powerful enemy Yu Wenhua and... This is Li Mi's huge political advantage. Li Mi only used the banner of overthrowing tyranny, did not support the emperor, nor did he have a serious crime of regicide. No one has to worry about being injustice when he formed an alliance with him.
Li Mi refused to refuse Wang Shichong's request for alliance, and neither refused nor agreed. He just said that he needed to consider and sent Wang Shichong's envoy away. However, as soon as Wang Shichong's envoy left, Yu Wenji's envoy came. Under the banner of Emperor Tianshou Yang Hao, he not only pardoned Li Mi's previous crimes, but also sealed Li a title of King Wei, symbolically rewarding a fief and a little jewelry.
Sitting while listening to the imperial edict of Yang Hao read by Yu Wenhua and the envoy, Li Mi didn't say anything. Pei Renji and Shan Xiongxin next to him misunderstood Li Mi's meaning, and suffered a great loss from Yu Wenhua and in the Tongshan Battle. He was already angry and immediately stood up and cursed. Shan Xiongxin, who was sensual by nature, also drew out a knife to chop Yu Wenhua and the envoy. Given that Li Mi had done a beautiful thing to send Yu Hongjian to Dongdu Cheli to execute him, the envoy of Yu Wenjun was so scared that his feet were weak, he knelt down with a plop, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Fortunately, Li Mi unexpectedly stopped Shan Xiongxin, and even more unexpectedly helped Yuwen Jun envoy to comfort him with kind words, then said: "Please report to Prime Minister Yuwen, and the criminal Li Mi burst into tears when he heard the order. Unfortunately, the generals under his command were dissatisfied. The criminal has accepted the official title of the Dongdu court. This matter cannot be discussed. I also asked Prime Minister Yuwen to understand the criminal's difficulties. If there is a chance in the future, Li Mi decided to bow to the Prime Minister to apologize."
Li Mi's answer shocked everyone present, and also shocked Yu Wen and the envoys sent. When he quickly asked Li Mi what conditions to surrender, Li Mi stopped talking. He just asked the envoys to go back and pass the message. He also gave him a gift of thanks and arranged for personal soldiers to escort Yu Wen and the envoys out of the Yellow River. As a result, Yu Wenji and the envoys had just left, Pei Renji, Shan Xiongxin and others immediately asked why Li Mi treated Yu Wen and the envoys so well, and had plans to accept Yu Wen and surrender in his words?
"Surrender to Yuwen and the thief army? Do you think I will do this?" Li Mi replied with a sneer: "Yuwen and the thief killed the lord and the lord, and the heaven and earth are not tolerated. They killed tens of thousands of soldiers in Tongshan, seized my Liyangcang, and captured our army's women, children and families. This hatred and hatred are irreconcilable. How can I forget it all the time?"
"Then why are you so weak to Yu Culture and the envoys?" Pei Renji and others quickly asked.
"The situation is forced to do this." Li Mi said calmly: "If I don't go with Yu Wenhua and Xu Wuhuo, then the next step is either to fight Hulao Pass directly, or to go south through Heyang and detour to fight Luokou Cang City. Our army has been severely damaged after the battle of Tongshan. How can we resist his Guanzhong elite?"
"Duke Wei might as well consider temporarily forming an alliance with Wang Shichong and joining forces to conquer Yu Culture and Culture." Shan Xiongxin suggested carefully: "Wang Shichong had sent an envoy to request an alliance. Duke Wei, you surrender to the court in the East Capital in terms of reputation. It is easy to join forces with Wang Shichong, also known as legitimate."
"I will only form an alliance with Wang Shichong if I am stupid." Li Mi said bluntly: "Hulao Pass and Heyang Bridge are both under the control of our army. If I sign an alliance with Wang Shichong, Wang Shichong will definitely ask me to stick to Hulao Pass and Heyang Bridge. At that time, wouldn't our army fight with Yu Wenhua and his fierce battle, and Wang Shichong hides behind him and picks up the cheap?"
Shan Xiongxin and others nodded silently, and then Yuwen Wen next to him asked again: "Duke Wei, what should we do next?"
"Continue to go with Yu Wen and the vain and slander, and do not agree or refuse to surrender his recruitment. He will lead him first, so that he will feel that our army may be used by him." Li Mi said without hesitation: "At the same time, he ordered Zheng Qianxiang to retreat to Heyang Bridge and lead Yu Wen and his side troops to head south to Dongdu."
"What's next?" Yuwen Wen asked quickly.
"Then I can only go by the opportunity." Li Mi replied helplessly: "Although Yu Wen and himself are stupid and incompetent, his troops are too powerful and confronting head-on. Our army is not his opponent at all. If you want to break the revenge of Boy Mountain, the only way is to introduce him to the battlefield of Dongdu, disrupt the situation in Dongdu, and then go by the opportunity. Although luring Yu Wen and crossing the Yellow River from Heyang south is risky for our army, it is better than being attacked by Yu Wen and fiercely attacking Hulao Pass, allowing Wang Shichong to take the opportunity to send troops to seize Luokou Cang and cut off our army's lifeline."
Everyone nodded silently and discussed some official duties. After the generals took their own leave. Li Mi also led Wang Xuance and Cai Jiande, two civil and military confidants, to go out to the city wall to relax. As a result, Wang Xuance, Cai Jiande and others were quite strange. Li Mi, who was used to thinking during a walk, actually climbed the west gate of Hulao Pass and looked at the west direction in a daze. After a long time, Li Mi also said to himself, "Christian Chen, what should I do before you can send troops to Dongdu?"
"Mr. Wei, what do you mean?" Wang Xuance was naturally extremely concerned about Chen Sangliang, and immediately asked curiously: "From your tone, I seem to hope that Chen Yingliang's traitors would send troops to Dongdu?"
"That's of course." Li Mi said absent-mindedly: "Yu Wenji's military strength is too strong, neither our army nor Wang Shichong, he is not his opponent. Even if we can defeat him, the traitors who will benefit in the end are still Chen Yingliang. For our army, the most favorable situation is to lure Chen Yingliang's traitors into the Dongdu, join forces with Wang Shichong to fight with Yu Wen and both sides, and then we will reap the benefits."
After saying that, Li Mi said to himself: "If there is any way to pull Chen Yingliang into the battlefield of Dongdu. At that time, as long as Chen Yingliang's traitor and Yu Wenhua and his work, our army can discuss whether to surrender Yu Wenhua or provide him with food and grass. Just wait for both of them to lose money, we can take the opportunity to reap profits. Unfortunately, this traitor is too treacherous and it is harder to get him into the trap to send troops."
At this time, a team of Li Mi soldiers came from west to east, but Li Mi, Wang Xuance and others ignored it. As they were planning together, Wang Xuance said carefully: "Duke Wei, since you think it is more beneficial to our army to pull the Daxing army into the battlefield of Guanzhong, why not try to send envoys to advance westward, request an alliance with Chen Yingliang's traitors, and invite him to send troops to attack Yu Wenji?"
"Chen Yingliang will agree if he is stupid." Li Mi sneered: "As long as he keeps the Tongguan Guhan, he can sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, and laugh at us fighting with Yu Wen and to the death. Only when he is stupid will he take the initiative to send troops to fight Yu Wen and to the death."
Things seemed to be absolutely absolute. At this time, a messenger suddenly rushed up the wall and bowed to Li Mi and said, "Report to Duke Wei, Chen Yingliang, the fake prime minister of Daxing, sent an envoy to pay his respects and requested to form an alliance with our army to attack Yu Wenji!"
"What? What?" Li Mi almost thought that he had heard the wrong ears, so he quickly said, "Say it again, why did the traitor Chen Yingliang send someone to do?"
The messenger repeated Chen Sangliang's request for alliance again. Li Mi and Wang Xuance and others were stunned. A few smiles quickly appeared on their black faces and said, "If you want to sleep, you will be given a pillow. I didn't expect that there would be such a good thing in the world. Although this traitor must be uneasy, it doesn't matter. It's just right to test the purpose of this traitor."
Chen Sangliang sent a very orthodox envoy this time, and also sent a very orthodox letter. Zhihuzhe also told Li Mi a great truth about the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, claiming that he was determined to avenge Emperor Yang of Sui, invited Li Mi to help, and promised that after defeating the enemy, he would definitely report to Emperor Ming Yining, grant titles to Li Mi, and forgive his previous crimes. Li Mi, who was puzzled by Chen Sangliang's letters, did not hesitate, and soon nodded and said, "It's great, please give me a reply to the Prime Minister, and said that Li Mi agreed to form an alliance with him and work together to fight against Yu Wen and the traitors!"
The Tianluodi Net gradually turned to Yu Wenhua and Zhang Kai, the most powerful army at present. After the envoy treated by Li Mi returned to Li Yangcang, Yu Wenhua and his brothers, Feng Deyi and others were surprised by Li Mi's weakness, and soon came to the conclusion that Li Mi had been shaken after Tongshan's crushing defeat. As long as Li Mi was put some pressure on him, it is very likely that Li Mi would lead his army to surrender!
The pressure on Li Mi was to send troops directly to threaten them. Someone gave him a pillow when he wanted to sleep. A few days later, Sima Dekan sent a quick horse to send news that Li Mi's army in Hanoi had all retreated to Heyang City. Sima Dekan felt that this was a great opportunity to take the opportunity to seize the Heyang Bridge and open the road to Luoyang south. I asked Yu Wen and whether to advance?
