He immediately laid out all his plans to accumulate strength and annex the army, and asked for ideas on how to deal with Yang Xuangan's rebels entrenched outside the city.  Jia Xu didn¡¯t say anything, he just stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Luoyang.  Wu Fan, who was in the mountains, suddenly understood.  The second year of Chengtian, August 27th.  Wu Fan wrote to Fan Zigai and ordered him to lead Luoyang soldiers and horses to attack Yang Xuangan's Pingyin camp, saying that he would do his best to snipe Yang Xuangan's main force in Yanshi and could not move. ?¡­ ?¡­ ?¡­ ?The Right Prime Minister¡¯s Mansion.  Cui Shi was lying on his bed. He had never stood up since he fell on the stone steps of Ziwei Palace.  The half of her body exposed outside the brocade quilt is skinny and skinny.  A head of loose silvery white hair, withered countless.  Wrinkles and ravines are crisscrossed, and his eyes are dull He is old, he is really old.  Just like a candle swaying in the wind, it may be extinguished at any time.  The room was filled with the bitter smell of medicinal stones, which made Fan Zi's nose twitch uncontrollably.  He had to hide it well in front of the old prime minister.  Wei Xuan, who has a busy schedule, arrived last. He now takes over Cui Shi's position and handles government affairs.  The three of them gathered together.  Fan Zigai opened the conversation and said: "Wu Shouzheng sent a message to me, asking me to send troops to attack Pingyin. I wonder what the two princes want?" Cui Shi was in a daze, as if he had not heard anything.  Wei Xuan was older than Cui Shi and had a lot of experience. He explained: "Wu Shouzheng led an army of 20,000 people. A total of 20,000 soldiers from Henan County were stationed in Yanshi to contain Yang Xuangan." A few words, very good.  Cui Shi understands the situation.  Cui Shi¡¯s throat gurgled with phlegm.  Unable to go up or down, he asked vaguely: "Did Yang Xuangan send troops to Yanshi?" Fan Zigai nodded and said: "What happened yesterday, Yang Xuangan personally led an army of 50,000 to Yanshi. Pei Hongce, the governor of Henan County  " He frowned and said, "Wu Shouzheng's letter said that Pei Hongce was arrogant in fighting, but Yang Xuangan was defeated and killed by him according to military law." Cui Shi turned away slightly in discomfort and sighed.  He took a breath and said, "Show your fangs!" Indeed.  Wu Fan was on guard against Cui Shi, Wei Xuan, and Fan Zigai. Why didn't these three guard against him?  You must know that compared to Cui Shi, Wei Xuan, and Fan Zigai, if Wu Fan has evil intentions, his destructive power will be far greater than them.  Before that, Wu Fan was about to leave Luoyang to go to Yanshi. He reached out to the soldiers and horses brought by Wei Xuan to the extreme and took the precious 10,000 cavalry.  Wei Xuan agreed easily, why?  If Wu Fan had not led the troops to leave, it would have been equivalent to leaving Jia Xiaoquan as a hostage in Luoyang!  Wei Xuan said: "Wu Shouzheng not only holds the tiger talisman of Sili Prefecture, which can mobilize all the troops in Sili Prefecture, but also has the official position left in Luoyang, and controls all officials around the imperial capital. He can be said to be the undisputed leader in both the military and political circles.  " Wei Xuan's words have two meanings. One is that Wu Fan has the right to kill Pei Hongce. We can't interfere and it can't explain anything.  The other is that Wu Fan has the right to order Fan Zigai to attack.  Fan Zigai had no right to refuse.  Fan Zigai thought for a moment and said: "The 50,000 soldiers and horses Yang Xuangan faced off against Wu Shouzheng are undoubtedly elite. It cannot be said that his headquarters camp is empty at the moment. At least the 100,000 soldiers and horses left behind are not very effective If they can be defeated  . And burning the food and grass they rely on for survival is no less than drawing fuel from the bottom of the cauldron. Yang Xuangan's rebels will be completely destroyed. " Cui Shi raised his head and said: "How many people are there to attack them? We must mobilize most of Luoyang's defense.  Falling into a quagmire, the consequences are disastrous!" Fan Zigai said: "Yang Xuangan's tribe has grown too fast and has too many people. This will also cause the soldiers, weapons, etc. he plundered from Liyang and other places and dissipated his family wealth.  It's far from enough equipment. A hundred thousand sounds scary, but it's nothing more than a paper tiger." Cui Shi glanced at Fan Zigai and said, "What if Wu Shouzheng can't contain Yang Xuangan?" Fan Zigai said:  "No! Judging from Wu Shouzheng's method of killing Pei Hongce, he wants to increase his military power, so the 10,000 cavalrymen he dispatched from the Duke of Wei and originally belonged to Pei Zhengxi's account will also be in his coveted range. He  Definitely?Driving them to spare no effort to fight with Yang Xuangan, and use Yang Xuangan's hand to eliminate dissidents.  " Wei Xuan said in a supportive voice: "Assaulting Yang Xuangan's headquarters camp and achieving a decisive victory will strengthen our confidence and is of extraordinary significance.  " Cui Shi closed his eyes, shook his head, nodded again, and said: "Let's go!  Wen Sheng and Hua Zong, do as you say!  "     The gradual parity in military strength has eliminated Yang Xuangan's advantage. It also makes Wu Fan no longer eager to strike first. He sits back and carefully outlines a blueprint for the future bit by bit. On the contrary.  Yang Xuangan was furious. Hearing that Fan Zigai had led Wu Fan out of Luoyang and attacked Pingyin's home base, Yang Xuangan anxiously called Li Mi for discussion. It was Li Mi who suggested that Yang Xuangan attack Yanshi.  Without achieving effective results, something big happened in the backyard. How could Yang Xuangan be calm? Li Mi sighed in his heart that Yang Xuangan was not a human master, and said: "Ming Gong, we can't withdraw!"  " Yang Xuangan said angrily: "Pingyin is our foundation!  Li Mi stared at Yang Xuangan and said, "Would Wu Shouzheng just watch Ming Gong withdraw and come back for reinforcements?"  impossible!  Furthermore, Wu Shouzheng's army mostly has light and fast horses. If we retreat hastily, we will only be followed and defeated by him!  Yang Xuangan said loudly: "Then what do you think we should do?"  Li Mi pursed his lips and said, "Pretend to retreat, lure Wu Shouzheng into pursuit, set up an ambush halfway, and defeat Wu Shouzheng in one fell swoop, regardless of the cost, and level Yanshi County!"  There are two advantages. First, Wu Shouzheng is known as invincible and has a great reputation. He is as good as the patron king. Defeating him will significantly improve the morale of our army.  Second, Yanshi is a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh. Even if Wu Shouzheng lets us go, if Fan Zigai learns that our troops have returned, won't he return to Luoyang?  Then what?  This re-formed the inherent situation where we did not dare to attack Luoyang due to the constraints of Wu Shouzheng's garrison in Yanshi, fearing that he would attack from behind.  As time went by, the army was trapped, its morale was low, its food and fodder were exhausted and its people died.  " Li Mi said deeply: "Ming Gong, we have been passive!  He worked hard without risking his life and broke out of the situation. The further back he went, the harder it became!  Time is good for the court, but not good for us!  " Yang Xuangan hesitated, but finally believed Li Mi.  (To be continued.)
