    Several flowers bloomed, one on each side. Just as our heartless Chen Sangliang led the main force back to Daxing, our shameless General Yun Dingxing Yun finally broke up with his once good nephew Yu Wenhuaji.  Shameless, turn against each other.  The reason why they turned against each other was of course Old General Yun. During the Battle of Jinyong City, as long as Old General Yun took action in time, it was entirely possible for the Xiaoguo Army to win the decisive battle. Even when the Wang and Li coalition retreated, as long as Old General Yun was willing  , can also help the Xiaoguo Army seize the opportunity to take over the Li Mi Army camp and completely defeat the main force of the Li Mi Army. However, our old General Yun refused to take the straw that broke the camel's back. Not only did he hide more than ten miles away from the battlefield and stand still.  , before brother Huaji asked him for help, he took the army that could determine the outcome of the battlefield and ran away, leaving brother Huaji's envoy without a chance to meet him to ask for help.  When things got to this point, not to mention the treacherous Li Mi and Wang Shichong who had figured out Chen Sangliang's true plan, our brother Hua Ji 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 lose at all.  Don't want him to win.  But our brother Huaji still had a glimmer of hope, so he sent Feng Deyi to Xi to ask for help from General Yun, asking General Yun to help him attack Li Mi, who had been seriously injured. However, Feng Deyi not only did not ask for help,  General Lai Yun's reinforcements took advantage of the situation and stayed in Xin'an City. He also asked his entourage to bring a resignation letter to Brother Huaji, stating that he would resign from all positions in Brother Huaji's army and change his position to Chen Sangliang.  The new imperial court was opened to make a living.  The truth was completely revealed to the world. When brother Hua Ji, who had been played like a monkey for many days, suddenly realized it, he was completely furious. He furiously ordered an attack on Xin'an, swearing to kill Old General Yun and Shameless who had deceived his innocent heart.  Feng Deyi, who betrayed him, was captured together, put in a sack and trampled to death by three thousand horses!  However, this order was not implemented at all. Already suffering from severe cold and injuries, and suffering heavy casualties in the battle of Jinyong City, the Xiaoguo Army, whose vitality was severely damaged, now just wanted to rest as soon as possible, so what interest was there in it?  Then attack the Sui army camp that had long been built by General Yun to be stronger than an iron turtle?  Therefore, Sima Dekan, Chen Zhilue and other generals of the Xiaoguo Army refused to carry out the orders, and directly told Brother Huaji that even if their troops were sent to the battlefield, there would be no way they could defeat the Sui army in Guanzhong that had been preparing for a long time.  , on the contrary, it will definitely suffer a big defeat and a disastrous defeat.  In fact, Huaji's brother still had the Jinyong City garrison as a new force available. However, in addition to guarding Jinyong City, this army also had to guard the civil and military officials and officials and dignitaries brought by Huaji's brother from Jiangdu. At the same time, Wang Shichong and  The two sworn enemies of Li Mi were still watching from the sidelines. Brother Huaji did not dare to use this last reserve team no matter what. Therefore, when the generals of the Xiaoguo Army refused to fight, although Brother Huaji hated Brother Yun  The general was filled with hatred, but he was still helpless and didn't know how to get revenge.  Old General Yun who was hiding in the tortoise shell could not be destroyed, nor could he destroy Wang Shichong and Li Mi who formed an alliance together. Jinyong City was far away from Liyang Cang and it was difficult to transport grain and grass. The severe cold and injuries were like two nooses, constantly tightening on the scarred body of the Xiaoguo Army.  Tighten up.  In desperation, brother Hua Ji came up with a genius idea and decided to temporarily withdraw his army to Hanoi County, shorten the distance for food and grass supply and let the army rest for the winter, and wait until the weather gets warmer to take revenge.  From a tactical point of view, Brother Huaji's move to take a step back is actually quite correct and impeccable. However, in terms of military morale, Brother Huaji's decision is undoubtedly digging his own grave. The Xiaoguo Army officers who were eager to go home just saw  With little hope of returning home, Brother Huaji asked them to turn back and stay away from home again. Naturally, the officers and soldiers in Guanzhong immediately exploded!  Sima Dekan, Zhao Xingshu and other Xiaoguo Army generals couldn't bear it anymore and finally decided to launch a mutiny to kill Brother Hua and Zili as the leader!  However, it is a pity that Sima Dekan and others did not have the luck to succeed in the Jiangdu mutiny this time. They accidentally leaked the news and were reported. Hua Ji's brother took the initiative and summoned the generals to discuss the matter under false pretense.  He and Zhao Xingshu and others deceived them into Jinyong City and chopped them with swords. They executed Sima Dekan and more than a dozen of his accomplices, and then immediately ordered them to retreat northward to Hanoi County, without giving Li Mi and Wang Shichong the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.  Of course, Brother Huaji seriously underestimated Wang Shichong and Li Mi, two tycoons in troubled times. The Xiaoguo army was forced to withdraw to Heyang Bridge. Li Mi and Wang Shichong immediately joined forces to pursue the enemy. They also divided their troops to march westward to prevent General Yun from taking advantage of the situation.  At the same time, Brother Huaji also seriously underestimated the patience and tolerance of the Xiaoguo Army officers. Chen Zhilue and Fan Wenchao, who were ordered to rear, both changed. Chen Zhilue accepted Wang Shichong's surrender and surrendered to Wang Shichong with his cavalry, while Fan Wenchao led his troops to surrender.  The soldiers and horses under his command and many homesick Guanzhong soldiers went directly west to join the soldiers and horses under his father's favorite disciple Chen Sangliang - of course, for Fan Wenchao, this was undoubtedly his most ideal choice.  The melee starts again, salivatingWith the Xiaoguo Army's superior equipment and strong combat effectiveness, Wang Shichong and Li Mi both blocked and pursued Fan Wenchao's troops, hoping to force Fan Wenchao to surrender to their own army. Fan Wenchao also quickly sent his horse to ask for help from General Yun, also knowing that the Xiaoguo Army could  General Yun of Kan Dayong did not hesitate and immediately led his troops to respond. He fought with Wang and Li's coalition forces in the Cijian area. Although he failed to win, he successfully brought back more than 5,000 Xiaoguo elite soldiers.  Along the way, he rescued Fan Wenchao, who was naturally oriented towards the Sui Army in Guanzhong, and officially kicked off the war between the Sui Army in Guanzhong and the Wang and Li Allied Forces.  It was the same here in Heyang. The Xiaoguo army, who didn't want to go back, surrendered to the pursuing and fiercely fighting Wang and Li coalition forces. Some surrendered to Li Mi and some surrendered to Wang Shichong. A large amount of military supplies and supplies were also captured by the Wang and Li coalition forces. Hua Ji's brother  They were forced to cut off the Heyang Bridge to avoid the pursuit of the allied forces of Wang and Li and to prevent the soldiers from escaping and surrendering. In the end, out of the more than 90,000 troops that Huaji brought to the battlefield in Dongdu, only 23,000 people accompanied Huaji and escaped across the Yellow River.  , fled into Hanoi and took shelter temporarily.  Fortunately for Brother Huaji, his reserve team crossed the Yellow River in advance and saved the direct army, as well as the civil and military officials and the sixth concubine of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. At the same time, there were still some in Liyangcang.  With the rear army and grain and grass, Brother Huaji still has some capital to make a comeback. At the same time, there is Meng Jiong and his wife under Li Mi in Hanoi County who can act as a punching bag for Brother Huaji. Brother Huaji can defend the natural dangers of the Yellow River as long as he manages it well and implements appropriate policies.  , there is still hope for a comeback.  ¡ª¡ªOf course, this is quite difficult for Brother Hua Ji.  The melee in Dongdu did not end because Hua Ji's brother fled north to Hanoi. On the contrary, it was just a new beginning. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Wang and Li coalition forces to pursue Hua Ji's brother, the Sui army's partial division Li Ke's division, which had been preparing for a long time,  Immediately went south, shamelessly taking advantage of the opportunity to attack another important military area guarding the intersection of Xiong'er Mountain and Yiyang County, where Chen Sangliang's ancestral home was. Li Wanji, the magistrate of Yiyang County, who had long been secretly colluded with the Sui army in Guanzhong, was not there either.  Hesitating, he immediately opened the city gate to welcome Li Ke's army into the city. By the time Wang Shichong, who controlled Yiyang County in name, received the news, Li Ke's army had already deepened and raised Yiyang's moats by half a foot.  By the way, when Li Niotie entered Yiyang County, he did a very impressive thing in a hurry - he immediately sent a Feng Shui master to explore the topography of Chen Sangliang's ancestral tomb, and then he concluded that Chen Sangliang's ancestral tomb was buried in  The conclusion that Chen Sangliang¡¯s ancestral tomb is buried in the dragon veins was widely publicized among the people. Although Yuan Tiangang, a Feng Shui master under Chen Sangliang, later came to explore the terrain, he found that the place where Chen Sangliang¡¯s ancestral tomb was buried did not look like dragon veins, but  Naturally, Yuan Tiangang would not make it public.  This is a later story and will not be mentioned here.  Finally, he completely broke up with his unscrupulous son-in-law. In anger, Wang Shichong not only started to prepare for war with his son-in-law, but also paid homage first and then sent troops. He also sent people to go to the old general Yun to question the crime, and righteously asked the old general Yun to go back to Guanzhong.  , returned Xin'an and Yiyang counties, and prepared to gain the moral upper hand before starting a fight with his son-in-law.  Unfortunately, envoy Wang Shichong not only saw General Yun's beloved nephew Yun Fu in Xin'an, but also met a defected soldier from Wang Shichong's army. It proved that Wang Shichong sent someone to pretend to be Xiaoguo Army to hunt down Yun Fu, and then General Yun  He also scolded Wang Shichong's envoy bloody and expelled him from the city.  Once again, he found that he had seriously underestimated Wang Shichong and became angry. He once wanted to send out the main force to attack Xin'an and kill General Yun. However, at this moment, news suddenly came from Daxing that Chen Sangliang had defeated Xue Ju and led the main force back to Daxing.  Wang Shichong was so frightened that he did not dare to act rashly. He could only change his mind and invite Li Mi to meet, preparing to discuss with Li Mi face to face the next plan to jointly resist Chen Sangliang's attack, and also asked Li Mi to promise to give him half of Luokou Cang.  food.  Li Mi happily accepted Wang Shichong's invitation. The two of them each took twenty guards and met by the Luoshui River to start negotiations.  However, as the negotiations officially began, Wang Shichong immediately discovered that there was a reason why Li Mi was so happy, because Li Mi said this, "Mr. Zheng, both our armies suffered a lot in the battle of Jinyong City, and we urgently need time to rest and recover.  Fortunately, the main force of Chen Yingliang's traitors has just returned from the northern expedition. The tired soldiers also need time to rest, so it is best for us to immediately attack and take back Xin?  In order to resist the massive attack by Chen Yingliang's traitors in the future, Li Mi suggested with a smile: "In that case, Mr. Zheng, do you think this is feasible? The defenders of Xin'an and Yiyang are about the same. You can simply send troops to attack Xin'an."  , I will send troops to attack Yiyang, advance and retreat at the same time, and we will not withdraw our troops until we capture these two cities. " Of course Li Mi's suggestion only seemed fair, but in fact he tricked Wang Shichong into his grandma's house - Xin'an was a tightrope.  The strategic position of Guandao Road is far more important than that of Yiyang, but Yiyang only blocks the Xiong'er Mountain trail. Even if the Sui army in Guanzhong is lost, it will not be too distressing. As long as the trail is blocked, it will still have a defensive effect, and at most it will only lose one surprise soldier.  opportunity.  So thisFirst, if Li Mi's proposal was followed and they sent troops to attack the city, the resistance Li Mi would encounter would definitely be much smaller, but Wang Shichong would definitely encounter strong resistance from the Sui army. In order to ensure control of the entire Weihan Road natural barrier,  Chen Sangliang's sending troops to reinforce Xin'an may be very large.  "Traitor!" After secretly cursing Li Mi for being treacherous, Wang Shichong thought again, and then asked tentatively: "Mr. Wei, can you send troops to Xin'an while I send troops to Yiyang?" "Mr. Zheng, what if I send troops to Xin'an?"  Is it convenient for you?" Li Mi immediately cried out hypocritically and said, "When I send troops to Xin'an, I have to pass through your defense area. All supplies and army mobilization must pass through Dongdu City.  Wouldn't the misunderstanding and conflict immediately damage the alliance between our two families and give Chen Yingliang, Yu Wenhua and our common enemies an opportunity to sow discord? How good is your son-in-law at this, Mr. Zheng?  Don¡¯t you know?¡± Wang Shichong wanted to punch Li Mi on the nose, but due to various considerations, Wang Shichong finally endured the situation and changed his words: ¡°What Mr. Wei said is true, I should send troops to Xin¡¯an.  It's more convenient, but I'm tired of fighting now, so I can't send troops to Xin'an for the time being. Let's keep our troops stationary for the time being. Let him, Yun Dingxing, be at ease for a while. When the opportunity for fighting comes in the future, you and I can do it again.  How about discussing the invasion of the army?" Li Mi, with Wang Shi acting as a human shield, smiled and immediately agreed, saying that it was no problem. Wang Shichong took the opportunity to bring up the matter of military rations. Li Mi laughed again when he heard this and said, "Mr. Zheng, in the covenant between you and me,  It seems that after we work together to defeat Yu Wenhua, I will give you half of the food, right? Now that Yu Wenhua is just beaten away by us, it seems that we haven't completely defeated him yet?" Wang Shichong's forehead immediately moved after hearing this.  Even though the veins were bulging, his hands were clenched into fists subconsciously. Although Li Mi was not afraid of this, as soon as his mind moved, Li Mi changed his mind and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Mr. Zheng, Li Mi is not unfaithful."  Although Yu Wenhua and the rebels have not been completely eradicated and are still entrenched in Hanoi County, which borders you and me, I also know that Mr. Zheng is currently short of food and grass and needs to replenish it urgently. Do you think this will work?  How about I give you 10% of the grain from Luokou Cang, and then I will work together to destroy Yuhuahua and his remaining men, and take off the heads of Yuhuahua and his men, and then give you the remaining 40%?" Wang Shichong's expression relaxed at this moment.  After slowing down and thinking for a while, Wang Shichong said: "Thirty percent! You have to give me 30% of the food in Luokou warehouse first! No matter who breaks Yuwen Wenji in the future, as long as Yu Wenhuaji dies, you must give me the rest."  Give me 20%!" It was Li Mi's turn to make the calculation. After a while, Li Mi said: "Two percent, you send people to Luokou warehouse to transport the grain yourself, and you bear the cost of the journey. Besides, you have to give me 30,000 pieces of cloth.  " "Thirty thousand pieces of cloth can be given to you, but in exchange for thirty thousand stones of grain," Wang Shichong replied calmly.  "Deal!" Li Mi agreed immediately, and Wang Shichong turned from anger to joy. He hurriedly negotiated with Li Mi the exchange date, grain storage statistics and other details. At the same time, he also agreed to return to Luocheng as the boundary to divide the territory of Henan County. Li Mi also came up with a lot of suggestions.  With great sincerity, he made a lot of concessions and reached an agreement with Wang Shichong. At the same time, he also generously agreed that the self-defense army would be responsible for garrisoning Heyangdu, preventing Hua Ji's brother from going south again, and successfully completed the post-war negotiations that almost turned out to be war.  However, just as the two sides said goodbye to each other, Li Mi added casually: "Mr. Zheng, Chen Yingliang is your son-in-law. If he sends an envoy to restore old friendship with you, or if someone among your subordinates proposes to take the initiative to restore old friendship with Chen Yingliang, I don't know.  "Will you accept it?" "No wonder you agreed to give me 20% of the food. It turns out that you are afraid of forcing me to go to Chen Yingliang's side." Wang Shichong suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Of course not. Don't worry, Mr. Wei, you are true to your word."  "Trust me, I won't go back on my word." "That's good." Li Mi nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, don't blame me for not reminding you. Chen Yingliang has the ambition to protect the world. If you, Mr. Zheng.  You may be able to get along well with him if you are willing to live under someone else. But if you want to become a powerful force with him, I am afraid that your son-in-law will never tolerate you. Please don't forget this."  "Of course, I will never forget Duke Wei's advice." Wang Shichong thanked him with a smile, but thought in his heart: "First get the food in hand. Once the food is in hand, I will immediately send someone to contact Chen Yingliang. As long as he  Promise to break up the soil with me and see how I deal with you!" After Li Mi returned to the camp, his decision was naturally strongly opposed by his close friends. They all felt that Li Mi should not agree to give Wang Shichong 20% ??of the food first.  The excuse was that Yu Wenhuaji had not been completely wiped out and not a single grain of food was given to Wang Shichong.  Li Mi reluctantly replied: "Of course I don't want to give Wang Shichong a grain of grain or horse straw, but there is no other way. If I don't give twoIf Wang Shichong is stabilized by food, this common man will definitely fall to the traitor Chen Yingliang immediately, and the traitor Chen Yingliang will definitely send troops and food to help him attack us. How can we resist when the energy is badly damaged?  " "But we gave the food to Wang Shichong, what should we do if the shameless man turned to Chen Yingliang?  Chai Xiaohe reminded: "Wang Shichong, an ordinary man, can definitely do such a thing!"  " "I believe he can do it, but neither he nor the traitor Chen Yingliang are fools.  Li Mi replied: "The little thief Chen Yingliang will definitely drive the tiger to devour the wolf and deliberately support Wang Shichong to attack us. Wang Shichong must also consider the consequences of fighting with us. Even if he and the traitor Chen Yingliang make false promises, they will definitely not really make peace with us."  We fight hard.  In this way, we will gain crucial time.  " "Wei Gong, what should we do to gain time?  "Yu Wenwen asked curiously. "Of course it is to reorganize the troops and expand the army.  "Li Mi smiled and replied: "Our rear is the Central China Plain, which is a vast land with many counties. Although most of these counties have been disabled now, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops to replenish and expand the army.  It's all quite easy. As long as we are given a little time, it will be easy to reorganize an army of two to three hundred thousand people.  Does Wang Shichong have this advantage of ours?  "    "No.  Chai Xiaohe came to his senses and hurriedly said: "Wang Shichong is surrounded by enemies on all sides. He only has one city in Dongdu. His sources of troops are quite limited. Every soldier will die. If the confrontation continues, he is destined to be no match for us."  Wei Gong sacrificed 20% of the food to temporarily stabilize him and prevent him from jumping over the wall. With the support of Chen Yingliang, we took the opportunity to expand our army and prepare for war. Not to mention that Wang Shichong was not destined to be our opponent. Even if Chen Yingliang left Guandong, we might not be without it.  The hope of turning defeat into victory!  " Only then did all the civil and military officers in Li Mi's army suddenly realize, and they all praised Li Mi for his foresight, far-sightedness, strategizing, and victory thousands of miles away. However, Li Mi shook his head knowingly and said with a wry smile: "Gentlemen, there is no need to flatter me.  I was forced to do this out of desperation.  And I am also sure that I can see this, and the traitor Chen Yingliang can also see this. Whether he can give us time and opportunity to make a comeback is another matter.  " After smiling bitterly, Li Mi casually ordered: "Go and bring Ren You, the envoy of the Li family in Taiyuan, who has taken the initiative to defect to us. I want to discuss with him the major matter of forming an alliance with the Li family in Taiyuan.  " "Wei Gong, why did you form an alliance with the Li family in Taiyuan?  "Wang Xuance of the Confidential Record Office rarely spoke, and asked doubtfully: "The Li brothers were beaten so much by Chen Yingliang that they have gone to Taiyuan to survive. They are thousands of miles away from us. Is it useless for us to make an alliance with them?  " "Who said it's useless?  "Li Mi smiled and said: "By taking the opportunity to sign an alliance with the Li brothers, we can seize the opportunity to lure the traitor Chen Yingliang to send troops to Taiyuan first to conquer the Li brothers. Then we can buy time to make a comeback, and we don't have to worry about the traitor Chen Yingliang sending out the main force to attack us first.  Already?  "
