Chapter 626 Conspire with Li Mi

Unlike Li Mi's Wei State and Wang Xuba's Yan State, the soldiers and horses under Wang Shichong, the Zheng King of Luoyang, except for a few ordinary people who were recruited later, most of them were regular soldiers and horses of the imperial court as early as the Great Cause period.

During the Great Cause years, they were the government soldiers of the Great Sui, crisscrossing the Jianghuai River, conscripting and suppressing rebellions, and they were official soldiers. Later, with Wang Shichong, he went all the way from Jianghuai to Taiyuan, Hedong, and finally to Luoyang, but their identities did not change, and they were still official soldiers. Especially after arriving in Luoyang, Wang Shichong turned against the guest, and after these brothers under his command took charge of Luoyang at once, the Jianghuai army suddenly became a much more majestic army in Luoyang than the Praetorian Guard.

Unlike the peasant army that rebelled everywhere in the world, just hoping to find a way to survive and eat well, they were originally official soldiers, so when they followed Wang Shichong before and after the saddle, most of the generals had the expectation of making meritorious contributions in their hearts, and the ambition of being a marquis and paying homage to the generals. King Zheng is their role model, in the early years, King Zheng was only a guard of the first emperor's forbidden army, but only how many years, now he is already King Zheng, holding a large army, and even the emperor who ascended the throne in Luoyang City has to rely on him. In the troubled times, it is the time when the husband has made great achievements, and no one wants to do nothing.

Because of this, they Jianghuai suppressed bandits, Taiyuan Qinwang, and Luoyang soldiers have always been brave and brave to fight. Not only was Luoyang, which was besieged by Li Mi's hundreds of thousands of bandits, not leaky, but also able to surprise him, taking advantage of Li Yuan and Yang Xuan's fierce army, he suddenly crossed the Yellow River north and took the five counties in the east, west and south of the river.

After taking the five counties of Hedong, all the Jianghuai soldiers were excited and full of longing. Taking the five counties of Hedong already indicates that they have walked out of the predicament of Luoyang, and they will gallop the world.

Who would have thought that God had no eyes, at such a time, the bandit army Li Mi actually raided Luoyang, and even captured Luokoucang and Huiluocang on the edge of Luoyang, and in a short period of time, they have captured the counties in Henan that they originally occupied, and now only a lonely city in Luoyang is still trapped. The good situation changed hands all at once, but they can't go up and down now.

The soldiers and horses that had shrunk back from the counties of Hedong were stationed in Heyang County, across the Yellow River from Luoyang on the south bank.

But the Jianghuai soldiers who were stationed here and could not return to Luoyang hated Li Mi the most. If it weren't for Li Mi, they wouldn't be trapped here now. However, after scolding Li Mi, many soldiers looked at the Hebei Fleet stationed at the Mengjin Ferry, but a kind of inexplicable emotion rose in their hearts.

They have heard from various sources that the fleet is the world-famous Liaodong strong army at this time, and it is said that at this time, Mengjin had 50,000 Liaodong troops stationed. It is even rumored that Chen Pojun, the marshal of the Liaodong Army and the real ruler of the Hebei Imperial Court, was in Mengjin at this time.

They also heard about the reason why Chen Pojun's army traveled thousands of miles to Mengjin in person, and it is said that Li Yuan, who was defeated in Hedong, and his own commander, King Zheng, met here, and Li Tang in Hedong and Jianghuai in Luoyang were attached to the imperial court in Hebei.

"The emperor of Hebei is the crown prince of the first emperor, and the emperor of Luoyang is only the grandson of the first emperor. Several members of the Jianghuai Army, who were deeply worried about the current situation, sighed privately.

"It's been more than a year since we came out of Jianghuai's hometown, if the marshal really led us to join the Hebei Imperial Court, then wouldn't we be able to go home? I have heard that the Liaodong Army has already captured Huaibei. Several soldiers guarding in front of the barracks whispered while looking around at the guard.

"According to what you say, we are going to join Chen Pojun?"

"There's nothing wrong with joining them, it's better than surrendering Li Mi's bandit army, right? A lot of words Chen Pojun is also an official army, in the past, it was just to serve its own master, but now the Hebei forces are getting bigger and bigger, but we are trapped in Luoyang, and the more we fight, the more tired we are, and it is not a long thing to go on like this. Especially now that Li Mi has raided Luoyang, the two granaries have been lost. Even if Luoyang City has not been lost at the moment, it can be defended for a while, but it can't be held for a lifetime, and if it continues like this, what good end can our Jianghuai Army have? ”…,

"That's right, during the great cause of Chen Pojun, he used to crisscross Liaodong, and his subordinates were called the strongest army in the world with our Jianghuai Army. Over the years, the Liaodong army has become stronger and stronger, and now it is coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes to capture Hebei, Shandong, and Huaibei, with great momentum. On the contrary, our Jianghuai army is now in a critical situation, and we can't even go back to our hometown in Jianghuai. If King Zheng really belongs to Hebei, it is not a bad thing, how to say, we also had a comradeship with the Liaodong Army at the beginning. We are all officers and soldiers, and we are a family. What's more, our hometown is still in the hands of others. ”

The officers and men of the Jianghuai Army in Heyang County had a lot of discussions about the Hebei Fleet stationed in front of them, but their reactions were almost the same. For King Zheng to lead his army to join the Hebei court and serve the emperor of Hebei as Zhengshuo, not only did no one object, but they all felt relieved. Hebei has many soldiers and generals, the territory is the first in the world, and the emperor of Hebei is also the crown prince of the first emperor, who has the orthodox position, and has the support of Chen Pojun, who will win the world sooner or later. The sooner you belong to them, the better you can be.

Although there are thousands of questions in their hearts, every Jianghuai soldier wants to personally ask the Hebei Army by the Mengjin River, and also wants to meet the world-famous marshal in person. However, the Jianghuai army had already been ordered to come down, and the Jianghuai army had already withdrawn from Mengjin, and all the soldiers and horses were fifty miles away from Mengjin City and the ferry. And without the order from above, no one can go to see the officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Army privately.

The non-commissioned officers and petty officers at the bottom of the Jianghuai Army are all looking forward to the rumored annexation to Hebei. For these ordinary non-commissioned officers, belonging to Hebei, which is now the most prosperous, is undoubtedly a good way out. But for Wang Shichong and his subordinates, annexing Hebei is not what they really want.

Wang Shichong is not Li Yuan, Li Yuan is now exhausted, losing troops and horses, losing cities and land, so he has no choice but to come to Mengjin and belong to Chen Kefu. Although Wang Shichong felt that it was impossible for a person like Li Yuan to truly belong to Chen Kefu. But he, Wang Shichong, still has the land of the five counties in Hedong in hand, and there are nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses gathered in Hedong, and there are also 100,000 soldiers and horses in Luoyang City. Even if Luoyang really can't hold it, he can accept the soldiers and horses across the Yellow River. At present, he is in alliance with Chen Kefu, but he wants to take advantage of Chen Kefu's momentum to get rid of Li Mi first.

Wang Shichong also knows all the private rumors and discussions of the officers and men in the army. But at the moment, he had no time to care about these, and his eyes were always staring at Li Mi. Either way, Li Mi is his real enemy. And Chen Pojun, although Hebei's naval fleet can move west along the Yellow River, they are still separated from Hebei by a Li Mi. As long as Li Mi is not eliminated for a day, it will be impossible for him and Chen Kefu to really fight.

And in fact, he has no determination to control anything, and the discussion of these soldiers is believed to be able to reach Chen Pojun's ears, but in this way, it can help stabilize the Hebei army and give them time to plan Li Mi first.

If you want to defeat Li Mi, you must first recapture the two granaries of Luokoucang and Huiluocang. If there is no food, there will be no army, and if there is no food, it will be unstable. Even if he can ignore the nearly one million residents of the eastern capital Luoyang, there are still 100,000 soldiers in the eastern capital, although these soldiers are not his descendants of the Jianghuai army, but now they have long been attached to him. In troubled times, if you want to dominate the world, there is no food, no soldiers and horses, what to fight.

Whoever controls the three granaries on the edge of Luoyang will control Luoyang.

At the beginning, Li Mizheng gained momentum because of Liyang Cang, waved his troops to attack Xingyang, and then plotted against Luoyang. At the beginning, the imperial court was able to hold Luoyang, precisely because it had the three granaries of Huiluo, Luokou and Heyang. Now the two major warehouses of Luokou and Huiluo have also fallen into the hands of Li Mi, and if they are not recaptured, it is only a matter of time before Luoyang falls into the hands of Li Mi. …,

Now that he had reached an alliance with Chen Pojun, he led his troops to join the Hebei court. The imperial court retained his knighthood and military power, and let him continue to guard Luoyang. Moreover, the Hebei army has also agreed with him that it will cross the Yellow River from Jijun in the fastest time, launch an attack on Li Mi in Henan, join forces with him to defeat Li Mi, and recapture the counties of Hedong together.

Although this covenant, everyone understands what is going on with him. He himself wanted to use Chen Pojun's soldiers and horses to help him contain and attack Li Mi, so that he could regain control of Luoyang and Henan. And what Chen Pojun was thinking, he could guess it, it was just the same as he thought, he also wanted to use him to control and attack Li Mi, and finally good soldiers and horses entered Henan and fought for Luoyang, Henan.

Everyone knows everything, but no one will say it. Because if the two join forces, it is undoubtedly the best way to defeat the common enemy Li Mi. As for who can get Luoyang, Henan after defeating Li Mi, it depends on their respective abilities. Those who compete for the world have no friends and no covenants, and some are just the jungle. Those who are strong have the right to explain everything.

Chen Pojun didn't want to swallow his Jianghuai army right away and occupy his own territory. But now their territory is too big, and their nets are too big, and they can't pull out so many soldiers and horses for a while. And compared with himself who is far away in Hedong, Wang Shichong understands better that Chen Pojun's most urgent opponent at the moment is actually Li Mi, just like himself.

The meeting with Chen Pojun was much simpler than Wang Shichong's resemblance. Although Chen Pojun is young, his kung fu on the surface is no worse than Li Yuan, who once cheated him. There is no cloud and mountain fog cover, and there is no nonsense, just go straight to the point, and reach an agreement on the purpose of their cooperation. As for some things that everyone knows, the two of them have not mentioned it in unison.

Wang Shichong, who had been standing in the study for a long time, suddenly laughed alone, and there was an unguessable meaning in that laughter.

"Why did King Zheng laugh so loudly, but what good things happened?" Wang Shichong's eldest son, Wang Xuanying, heard his father's sudden laughter and walked into the study suspiciously.

"Not now, maybe soon. Xuan Ying, you immediately go and invite Miss Shen in person, because your father has important matters to discuss with her. Wang Shichong was in a good mood and waved his son to invite Shen Luoyan over. The pact with Chen Pojun has been reached, and perhaps it is time to consider Shen Luoyan's proposal.
