Chapter 184: Gambling for Life
Yingying and the others left, and Wu Xin ordered Wuwei and Jurong to prepare the whole army to march towards the Dalingshan Mountain Range connecting Liyangcang, preparing to intercept the rebel army of Chu Guogong.
Wu Xin naturally would not be stupid enough to attack Liyang Cang directly, after all, there are nearly two million rebel troops in the city, although they are constantly leaving, but it is not something that Wu Xin's army can do, it is to hit a stone with an egg.
Yingying was right, Wu Xin seemed to compromise because of the Demon Gate's orders, but it was actually no different from ignoring it.
As for whether to capture Liyang Cang afterwards, Wu Xin still has to depend on the situation, and he really doesn't care about the attitude of the Demon Gate!
"My lord, our army will make a detour to intercept it, if the rebel army suddenly pours out, or scatters in all directions, won't our army go deep alone, or even a turtle in an urn?"
The army was transferred, Wei Peng spread out the military map, pointed to various places and analyzed. More than two million rebels are indeed enough to surround the Wuxin Legion and crush it into slag.
"No! Now that the Duke of Chu is taking advantage of the Holy Expedition to raise troops, he will race against time and occupy a heavy city in advance to prepare for the counterattack and suppression of the Great Sui, how can he divide his troops and distract himself?"
Wu Xin decisively shook his head and vetoed and explained, then pointed directly at Luoyang, and said in an affirmative tone: "The goal of the Duke of Chu must be here...... Eastern Capital, Luoyang!"
"Luoyang, the eastern capital?" Zhang Qing and the others muttered in confusion, wondering why Wu Xin was so sure!
Li Shimin and Li Xiuning, who were anxious, glanced at each other worriedly.
Li Shimin hesitated, and retorted loudly: "Brother Wu! In the opinion of the foolish brother, there are four lines of Chu Guogong......
"There are four, Shimin said to hear it!" Wu Xin replied in surprise and confusion.
Li Mi, a well-known top strategist and leader of the famous rebel army, once proposed three strategies to Yang Xuangan, the Duke of Chu, the upper strategy was to take Youzhou in the north to cut off the back road of Emperor Yang, the middle strategy was to enter Chang'an in the west to control Tongguan, and the second strategy was to attack nearby Luoyang.
What Chu Guogong adopted was precisely the next strategy to enter the siege of Luoyang. After a long battle, reinforcements from the Great Sui arrived. The rebel army was forced to retreat westward. In early August, Yang Xuangan died unexpectedly.
Now, Li Shimin actually said that there are four?
"First, lead the army to the north and occupy Youzhou (in fact, it is the ancient Youzhou, Yang Guanggang canceled the state and county system, and everyone is habitually called), you can get the rich wealth and military resources of Youzhou, and call the king in the north. Waiting for the general trend. What's more, you can use the border city to cut off the expeditionary force and the back road of the saint. At that time, the world will be in turmoil, and the Duke of Chu will be respected;
Second, go south to Jiangdu, sweep the south at the fastest speed, and call the king according to the south, and sit and watch the world. It is very likely that there will be a confrontation between the north and the south, and the probability of the final winner is higher than that of Chu Guogong;
Third. West into the western capital of Chang'an, control Tongguan, control civil and military officials, and win the support of the Longxi Group and many wealthy families. is not a king, but a king, can also shake the foundation of the Great Sui to the greatest extent, and even be crowned emperor.
Fourth, it is to march into the eastern capital of Luoyang. Accordingly, it will block the reinforcements of the Great Sui!"
"Uh......"
Including Wu Xin, everyone was stunned.
The difference is that Wu Xin was surprised by Li Shimin's proposal to go south to Jiangdu. It is worthy of being a stronger existence than Li Mi.
Everyone was amazed at Li Shimin's amazing wisdom, thinking, and overall situation, and the line proposed by Wu Xin happened to be the last point that Li Shimin said.
"Oh, in the opinion of the people, which route is the best?, which one does the Chu State Guild choose?" Wu Xin asked with interest.
"The route is good or bad, go down in turn, the first one is naturally the best!"
Li Shimin replied without hesitation, causing everyone to frown, especially the generals of Wuxin Fang, what do you mean? Do you think that the lord's strategy is not good?
Li Shimin didn't pay attention to other people's thoughts, and quickly continued:
"The Duke of Chu has his father's (Yang Su) wisdom, strategy, strength and ability, etc., but he does not have his father's courage and courage. You should not dare to choose the first one, because now Youzhou gathers the world's army, and there are saints and many famous generals, even if the vast majority of them go out, the Duke of Chu does not dare to go; However, it was difficult for the Duke of Chu to suppress the forces in Guannei. In addition, the foolish brother guessed that Chu Guogong should have something to do with the Demon Gate, and Guanzhong is dominated by Buddhism and the righteous path, Chu Guogong does not dare to go, will not go, can't keep it, and is even more difficult to manage. In this way, only the second and fourth articles remain......"
Everyone listened silently, listened quite attentively, most of their faces showed admiration, and they were shocked by Li Shimin's confidence and ability, this is Li Shimin's charm!
"Very well analysed and to the point. Brother Fool's eyes were opened, and he continued!" Wu Xin was also quite admiring and praised, and almost applauded.
Don't look at what Li Shimin said simply, it is not much, but it requires a lot of knowledge, vision and enough overall situation.
"Fourth, Luoyang, the eastern capital, is the ancient capital of many dynasties, and it is also the gathering place and center of ancient barbarians in ancient times. It is also the economic and political center of the world, and has always been valued by the empire and heavily guarded. Although the benefits of defeating it are huge, it may be able to gain the support of the ancient barbarians, and its strength and strength will increase greatly. However, it has to be able to fight, and it is more difficult than entering the customs in the west, and it is a little easier than going north, so it is better to risk going north. Therefore, the Duke of Chu will not choose the Eastern Capital. There is only the second article left, and it is also the first choice of the anti-army and has to choose ......"
"Go south?" Zhang Qing, Wei Peng and other Wen Xiu muttered in surprise and worry, and the others also had their own thoughts.
Without him, the world knows that the base camp of Mad Hou Wuxin is in Jurong County, although it is only a county, it is also in the south. Moreover, the mad Hou Wuxin is trying to take the position of the Taishou of Jiangdu County, followed by the county Cheng, the Ministry of Officials has already issued a document, after the second expedition, if Wu Xin can return to Jiangdu, it will be Jiangdu County.
Everyone pondered and digested, and there was silence, and they were all shocked by Li Shimin.
Wu Xin nodded in agreement: "En! The analysis is very reasonable!"
Even Wu Xin is the same, and he suddenly realized.
Yang Xuangan, the Duke of Chu, is the largest rebel army that influenced the Great Sui Empire, and it can be regarded as the first rebel army in the real sense. To put it bluntly, the level of those rebel armies is not enough!
Listening to Li Shimin's words, Wu Xin knew that Yang Xuangan was worthy of his reputation, worthy of being a famous historical celestial, not as incompetent as the legend, and could only be said to be a king and a loser!
"Lord...... That army ......," the Martial Dragon Grand Commander asked suspiciously.
Wu Xin responded without hesitation: "Act according to the plan, the rebels will go to Luoyang, the eastern capital!"
"Huh?!"
Everyone looked at each other in amazement and confusion, completely unable to figure it out.
Why did Wu Xin agree with Li Shimin's statement, but he decided so much.
Even Li Shimin was full of doubts, frowning slightly, thinking about whether Wu Xin deliberately went against him. Hit him too!
Wu Xin smiled and replied: "The reason is very simple! Chu Guogong is not a Shimin brother, choose one of the two, isn't there only one choice left in the eastern capital Luoyang? If the Shimin brother is Chu Guogong, the Great Sui is in danger." General Ben can only think about how to protect himself, how dare he lead more than 50,000 troops to intercept millions of troops?"
"Uh......"
Everyone was speechless, and this logic was difficult to understand and accept.
God logic!
Choose one of the two, because Chu Guogong is not Li Shimin, so choose the other?
How awkward you think!
Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, his face was ugly, and he reminded stubbornly: "Brother Wu...... Military affairs should not be carried out rashly! State affairs should not be played ...... child's play."
With the wisdom of Li Shimin. I can't figure out why as soon as I met Wu Xin, I was entangled in grievances. Obviously feeling Wu Xin's favor, recognition and friendship, it is not Zuowei, but there is often hostility, and it cannot be said that it is hostile, but beware.
As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, the faces of everyone present suddenly changed slightly, and Wu Xinfang's faces sank. Is this a decision to challenge Takeshin's majesty?
"Master Hou, forgive me! The second brother is anxious about the family in the city, and my third brother, fourth brother, and your uncles and cronies are still in the city. The second brother wanted to ask for help, but it was difficult to speak. So I tried my best to show in exchange for Hou Ye's support, and I was anxious for a while......"
Li Xiuning was shocked, and hurriedly apologized to Wu Xin and the others, and also explained the reason why they were worried before.
"The Lord's decision. There will be no mistakes! and never mistakes...... Not to mention now, it was a few months ago......"
Hearing this, Renzhong was furious, glared at Li Shimin and said repeatedly. There is a posture of turning his face immediately.
What kind of ability is analysis now? To put it bluntly, it can only be regarded as a little ability. Wu Xin had already decided the current situation a few months ago, and this was amazing!
“......”
Wu Xin raised his hand to stop Wen Renzhong's narration, looked at Li Shimin with a smile and said:
"So be it, two brothers! Our brothers just make a bet...... If the people guess correctly, I Wuxin will be your retainer, and all the power, wealth, army, and retainers will be included, and only you will be loyal to Li Shimin; if the foolish brother guesses correctly, the requirements are not high, and the people of the world will be alone, and I will be my retainer, and I will only be loyal to my Wuxin. ”
"Lord ......"
Everyone was dumbfounded, and Wen Renzhong, Hongbo and others even changed their faces and shouted, intending to stop them, but they were stopped by Wu Xin waving his hand.
"Gollum ......"
Li Shimin swallowed his saliva violently, and asked in disbelief and excitement, "Brother Wu...... Seriously?"
"Of course, doesn't Brother Shimin have confidence in himself? For those who achieve great things, self-confidence is the first element, and indecision is a big taboo!" Wu Xin replied with a smile, quite like a big bad wolf seducing Little Red Riding Hood.
Wen Renzhong anxiously reminded: "This gambling contract is too unequal......"
"It's okay! Two brothers, why bother so much about gains and losses!"
Wu Xin stopped again and responded boldly. After a pause, he looked at Li Shimin and said meaningfully: "As soon as I saw Shimin, Brother Yu knew that Shimin was definitely not a thing in the pool, and sooner or later he would soar into the sky. In that case, it is better for us two brothers to conclude as soon as possible, either I will assist you, or you will assist me. lest they turn against each other in the future, and life and death will be opposite!"
Everyone was stunned, especially the Trapping Ancestor, Hongbo, and the Wind Chasing Ghost King, and they remembered Wu Xin's words before.
"Thank you Brother Wu for taking it so seriously, the foolish brother is ashamed!"
Li Shimin was stunned, and solemnly replied with excitement and pride, and continued: "It turns out that this is the reason why Brother Wu is wary of foolish brothers, no wonder!"
"Yes! The foolish brother has always been generous and sincere to his own people, and he is ...... to his enemies At least try not to be an enemy!" Wu Xin replied frankly.
Li Xiuning and the others in Li Tang changed their faces greatly, and they wanted to ask Wu Xin for help and enter the city to save people, isn't that no fun?
This is forcing Li Shimin to make a gambling contract!
