When Li Mi first saw Fang Xuanzao and Shen Luoyan take Li Yuan to Kim Yong City, he was very happy. He even privately told Fang Xuanzao that Chen Kefu was incompetent, and even such an important person as Li Yuan was lost.

After Li Yuan arrived at Kim Yong Kim, Li Mi was so happy. At the beginning of Li Yuan's army in Taiyuan, he once gave him a table and respected him as the leader of the alliance. At that time, although he was also happy, he was also a little self-aware in his heart. At that time, Li Yuan was on the momentum, holding hundreds of thousands of horses in his hands, and he was dominating Hedong. Although he knew that Li Yuan respected him as the leader of the alliance at that time, but he didn't want to have a war with him, he was still very happy in his heart, and his vanity was greatly satisfied.

But Li Yuan's investment this time, Li Mi's heart is different. Although Li Yuan was a little depressed at this time, in Li Mi's eyes, Li Yuan at this time was more valuable. Li Mi was born in the Guanlong aristocratic group, but he relied on Zhai Rang and other Wagang peasant armies in the Shandong Haoqiang group. Although he was also collecting officials and winning over the powerful families from all over the world, for those nobles of the family, Li Mi and the Wei army led by him were just a group of bandits.

has never been able to get the support of the upper class, which is what Li Mi has always been most distressed about. Although Li Yuan and Li Mi had the same background, Li Yuan took a different path. When Li Yuan was in Hedong, he not only represented the interests of a large number of aristocratic classes, but also won the support of many local tycoons in Hedong. Now that Li Yuan has been defeated and surrendered, in Li Mi's view, this is the time for him to use Li Yuan to draw the nobles, families, and local powerful forces behind him to his side.

It's a pity. Surprise turned into fear.

Li Yuan arrived in his hands, but it was only more than two days, and he suddenly died on the third day. It was not the assassin sent by Chen Kefu who assassinated him, nor did he send someone to do it, but he died so inexplicably.

But Li Mi knew very well in his heart that Li Yuan would die like this. This black cauldron must have been set by itself. When Shen Luoyan rescued Li Yuan, Chen Kefu sent someone to release the news that he had sent someone to kidnap Li Yuan, and Li Yuan's son Jiancheng was even killed during a fight with the Assassins.

Li Yuan died so inexplicably, and now it was really yellow mud that fell into the crotch of his pants. Nothing is clear. After Li Yuan surrendered to him, he didn't even have time to ask Li Yuan to send an envoy to inform the forces of the Li family in Hedong. Originally, he planned to wait for the Luokou War to immediately send troops to the party. But now, it's too late. Chen Kefu will definitely not let go of such an opportunity, and it won't be long before the whole world will think that Li Yuan was killed by him Li Mi. The Li family forces in Hedong. Not only will he not be able to use it for him, but it is unlikely that he will be able to accept it in the future.

In addition to being annoyed, although Li Mi was a little suspicious, he was not very sure that Li Yuan would be killed by Chen Kefu's people. After all, Li Yuan's body was placed there, but there was no trace of murder, and in the end, the doctors unanimously judged that Li Yuan died of a sudden heart attack, which was a complete accident.

Chen Kefu took the letter. Seeing that Li Yuan finally died of poison on time, he was also relieved. Although the eldest grandson Shunde had talked about the power of the poison at that time, he had not really seen it after all. Because Chen Kefu wanted to believe in the power of this poison, he asked Shen Luoyan to save such an important person as Li Yuan, and he was still a little worried in his heart. After all, if Li Yuan didn't die, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble to Chen Kefu.

Now that Li Yuan is finally dead, everything is as planned. How could Chen Kefu not be happy. Li Shimin is dead, Li Jiancheng is also dead, and now Li Yuan is also dead. Up and down the Li family, there was only one fourteen-year-old concubine Li Zhiyun left, and Chen Kefu finally completely leveled the Li family's forces.

In this letter written by Zhang Zhongjian himself. In addition to the news that Li Yuan is dead at the beginning, there are several other things, which are also good things. In the letter, Zhang Zhongjian described in detail the battle of the Luokou feint. In the letter, he clearly stated the true strength of the Jianghuai army, and not only caught Li Mi off guard, but also dealt a heavy blow to Li Mi. Zhang Zhongjian also expressed his concern for the Jianghuai Army. …,

The combat effectiveness shown by the Jianghuai Army in this battle was too amazing, and its strength was not much worse than that of the Hebei Army. If it weren't for this battle, the Hebei Army would not have discovered their serious misjudgment of the Jianghuai Army in the past. Zhang Zhongjian reminded Chen Kefu that it was necessary to raise the vigilance of the Wang family and the Jianghuai army by two more grades. In the face of Li Mi's strict formation, the Jianghuai army carried out a beach-rushing landing under unfavorable circumstances, and as a result, Li Mi's 60,000-strong army was defeated, and even beheaded more than 10,000 people.

Through this battle, it has been completely demonstrated that the strength of the Jianghuai army is above that of the Wei army. However, after thinking for a while, Chen Kefu let go of his worries. The biggest threat in the Jianghuai army was Wang Shichong, who is now dead. Although the sudden force of the Jianghuai Army this time was a big surprise. However, since Wang Xuanying has already revealed the hole cards of this army, it is no longer terrible.

The beast that shows its fangs is not terrible, but the beast that hides in the darkness is terrifying. As long as they are prepared, given the current situation of the Jianghuai Army, even if their combat power is indeed very strong, they have no soil to grow. Being under the pressure of Hebei, Li Mi, and Yang Mian on three sides, waiting for the Jianghuai army, the face is either to surrender to one of them, or to perish after hard resistance.

A group of wolves led by Wang Xuanying, Chen Kefu didn't have much to worry about.

In addition to Li Yuan's death and Jiang Huaijun's victory in Li Mi's battle, Zhang Zhongjian also told him an update news. Lu Shishen and Guo Xiaoke, who led the troops to raid Luokoucang, captured Luokoucang City as ruo. However, these two people did not retreat after burning Luokoucang City and the grain in the city as planned, but fraudulently seized Luokoucang City, and then held the city to the death. Now Luokou City has been mastered by Lu Shishen and Guo Xiaoke, and more than 3,000 of the 10,000 defenders in the city have been annihilated, and the rest have been captured. The most important thing is that the two thousand stones of grain and grass in the city are now in their hands.

Seeing this news, Chen Kefu frowned, on the battlefield, the front-line leading generals made a decision on the spot, which is also a normal situation. It's just that Lu and Guo Erjiang have changed like this, but it is equivalent to expanding this battle. Although they had 30,000 men, it was not a simple matter to defend Luokoucang City. There are nearly 100,000 horses in Yanshi and Baihua Valley, and they are only twenty or thirty miles away from Luokou Cangcheng.

Chen Kefu patted his head, at this time, it was too late to give another order to Lu and Guo Er to evacuate. Perhaps at this time, Li Mi had already mobilized a large army and rushed to the bottom of Cangcheng. Thinking of this, Chen Kefu took his hands and kept spinning in circles in the ruined land temple.

Feng Wan also followed Chen Kefu on the march with Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and others. At this time, she and General Cheng Qin also heard that there was a military intelligence delivery. And rushed over one after another.

"The two generals Lu and Guo were a little too hasty this time, and Li Mi had already mobilized soldiers and horses from Xiangcheng, Xingyang, and Yingchuan counties to rush to the Luokou battlefield. The longer it drags on, the worse it will be for us. According to the original plan, we were going to take this opportunity to burn Li Mi's grain and grass, and take the opportunity to take his empty Luokou Cangcheng and Hujiaoguan two cities, and then we would immediately encircle Luokou Li Mi from the east and west, and launch a decisive battle against Li Mi with the Jianghuai army in Luokou. Taking advantage of the arrival of Li Mi's other soldiers and horses, they attacked Li Mi with lightning speed and inflicted heavy damage on him, and then immediately took a boat and returned to Hebei from the Yellow River. ”

"This plan is very close, and it is a quick solution to the surprise. Now that Lu and Guo Er are going to hold Cangcheng, then we will not be able to gather superior forces to inflict heavy losses on Li Mi. Even Lu Guo's subordinates had to be surrounded by Li Mi and the Wei troops who came from all over the country. If we want to save them, we will inevitably be dragged back by Li Mi, so that there are fewer enemies and more enemies. If you don't save it, the 30,000 soldiers will not be able to protect it! When Feng Wan said this, she stomped her foot angrily. I am very dissatisfied with senior generals like Lu Shishen and Guo Keke who would do things that violate the order. …,

Chen Kefu did not speak, the current situation was in front of him, and the development of the war was already beyond his control. If he can't make favorable adjustments immediately, then Lu Shishen's 30,000 people are likely to be eaten by Li Mi.

Guo Xiaoke and Lu Shishen's thoughts were reported to Zhang Zhongjian, they felt that the Jianghuai Army's combat power was very strong, and they felt that it was not impossible to win by using the Jianghuai Army and Chen Kefu's troops to attack Li Mi. Moreover, they held on to Cangcheng, firstly, they could block the Wei army of Yanshi and Baihua Valley from reinforcing Luokou, and secondly, they also wanted to take down the 20 million stone grain. Twenty million stone grain, no one is willing to burn it in such a fire.

It's just that in Chen Kefu's opinion, they have forgotten a more important thing. The strength of the Jianghuai Army is indeed good, but it does not mean that this is necessarily a good thing, and it is even likely to be a worse thing. If Lu Shishen and they don't return, then Chen Kefu and Zhang Zhongjian will only have 20,000 people, and the Jianghuai army will have 100,000 people. If Chen Kefu and Wang Xuanying defeated Li Mi in Luokou together, who could guarantee that Wang Xuanying, who had 100,000 troops, would not attack the Hebei army, which only brought a mere 20,000 people around him, and was likely to suffer great damage in the battle with Li Mi?

Dancing with wolves and skinning tigers are all very dangerous things. Wang Shichong and Wang Xuan should be willing to surrender to Hebei, not just because Hebei is strong and strong. It was because they were facing the joint squeeze of Yang Mian in the west and Li Mi in the east, and they were in danger of being wiped out at any time, so they wanted to take advantage of Chen Kefu's momentum.

But if Li Mi fell, the situation of the Jianghuai army would be different. After crossing the river, the bridge is useless. In case Wang Xuanying turned his face then, how would they respond?

Chen Kefu sighed, Lu Shishen and Guo Xiaoke only saw the battlefield after all, and did not see more things outside the battlefield.
