"..."

Li Mi, the leader of the Wagang Army, "Pu Shanggong", was sitting in the study with his confidant general and chief military advisor Shen Luoyan, holding in his hand a letter that Shen Luoyan had just sent to him, thinking deeply.

In fact, something described in the letter had already been widely circulated in the Central Plains and Wulin half a month ago, and the initiator was the one who handed over Wuyuan County, Yulin County and other places to the Turks and planned to release the Turks.

The Li clan, who had invaded, was also verbally criticized and scolded by people in the Central Plains and the martial arts world. This completely destroyed the reputation and prestige that he had finally accumulated.

To be honest, at first, Li Mi didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that the rumor was just a rumor spread by a certain force against the Li clan, in order to create obstacles and attack the Li clan, which had unified Guanzhong and was planning the north.

Its reputation will make the people of the Central Plains no longer have hope in the Li clan and curb its expansion speed, etc.?

In this regard, while Li Mi was gloating about the misfortune, of course he directly added fuel to the flames regardless of whether it was true or not, and was happy to see the result of the Li family being infamous.

But who would have thought that today he finally realized the seriousness of the problem when he received a personal letter from Kou Zhong, the Ssangyong Army in the south who was as prosperous as the Li Clan and had unified Jiangnan, and the general manager of Jiangnan Province.

Then, he could no longer rejoice in misfortunes.

"..."

Likewise, the "femme fatale" Shen Luoyan also had a solemn look on her face.

You must know that the fire plan that helped Li Mi become the co-leader of the Wagang Army came from her. She lives up to her name. Not only is she like a fish, but she is also resourceful and good at using means to deal with the enemy when necessary.

Even her allies were merciless, earning her the nickname "Female Beauty". It was with her help that Li Mi became famous and became the leader of Wagang.

Therefore, as a counselor and Wagang's strategist, it is impossible for her not to know the importance of Wuyuan County, Yulin County and other places!

It is an indisputable fact that the Li Clan has handed over those two important military towns to the East Turks. According to reports from their spies, even the Li Clan has basically evacuated Wuyuan County, Yulin County and other places before the arrival of winter.

The people were looking for other places to settle. It can be said that those two places are definitely in the hands of the Eastern Turks now. There is no doubt about that.

Originally, Wagang didn't pay much attention to those things. After all, it was Li Clan's own business. He could give Li Clan's territory to whomever he liked. Wagang and they couldn't control it so widely, let alone that far!

However, combined with the rumor that spread in the world in the past month, combined with the sincere letter written by Kou Zhong, she is as smart as Shen Luoyan, and she still doesn't know how serious the situation is.

Oops?

You know, once the Li clan really shrinks its troops and allows the Turks to cross the border and merge into the Central Plains, and once the Turkic army attacks the Central Plains from north to south via Hedong Road or Guannai Road, the first ones to bear the brunt will be Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Gyeonggi region, and

The Wagang Army adjacent to Luoyang!

The Turks may have committed no offense against each other because of their agreement with the Li Clan, but she did not believe that the Turks would commit no offense against Wagang and Wang Shichong who occupied Luoyang!

And when he thought that he, Mi Gong and others, as well as the currently very powerful Wagang Army, were going to confront the cruel and bloodthirsty Turkic cavalry in the Hetao Plain, even Shen Luoyan, who was known to be unparalleled in resourcefulness, couldn't help it.

Waves of trembling and helplessness emerged from the bottom of my heart.

Because, even before the fight started, she knew that they, Wagang, would definitely not be able to defeat the Turks in the plains, and they did not have that many cavalry to fight against them!

Therefore, while trembling and helpless, Shen Luoyan could not help but feel waves of despair and desolation in his heart.

After a little thought, it was not difficult for her to know that it must be a conspiracy by Li Clan, who was dedicated to seizing the world and was developing rapidly, to contain the Jiangnan Shuanglong Army, which was also developing rapidly, and to prevent it from going north and encroaching on the Central Plains.

, and the many heroes and forces in their Central Plains have just become victims of the competition between the two sides?

I think back then, they were so powerful that they defeated all the princes and soldiers of the Sui Dynasty. They even defeated the patron king Yang Lin and became the most popular for a while. They were the best in combat effectiveness and development among the eighteen anti-kings in the late Sui Dynasty!

But now...

Unknowingly, a mere two gangsters from Yangzhou City, the so-called 'Double Dragons' who had just emerged two years ago, had grown so horribly that they had pacified Jiangnan in a short period of time, launching surprise attacks.

Not only did Yingchuan have an army of 400,000, it actually became the most likely force to dominate the world. It even frightened the Li family into having to risk the disapproval of the world and let the Turks invade, just to contain them.

Jiangnan’s development momentum?

Since when did the Wagang Army sink to such a state?

Looking back on everything that happened in the past two or three years, Shen Luoyan couldn't figure out why the current situation in the world has developed like this.

Wagang, except for their defeat in Luoyang, their failure to grab the 'He's Bi' and their failure to successfully defeat Wang Shichong and invade the eastern capital of Luoyang, it seems that they have not suffered a defeat in the past two years.

It has never stopped developing!

Anyway!

Shen Luoyan, who was born into a wealthy family, has been familiar with military literature since childhood, and is well versed in the art of war and strategy. Shen Luoyan could not imagine how those two gangsters who she didn't think much of at the beginning could unknowingly...

, suddenly walked in front of all their princes and anti-kings, walked in front of the Secret Duke, and could overlook these heroes?

"Well……"

"Luoyan."

Finally, when Shen Luoyan's eyebrows were slightly furrowed and he was thinking hard about good strategies and introspection, not knowing what went wrong, then "Pushan Gong" Li Mi finally put down the long letter written by Kou Zhong and felt sad.

He sighed and said:

"This is not good!"

"I have to take countermeasures quickly."

However, things were not going well. He never mentioned the sincere words in Kou Zhong's letter and proposed that the princes in Jiangnan and the Central Plains cooperate to fight against the Turks. He only regarded it as a joke.

"yes!"

"Secret Master..."

"Now that the new year is approaching, I'm afraid we don't have much time left to prepare. We must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible?"

After coming back to his senses and cheering up, Shen Luoyan said helplessly and lonely.

In fact, the situation is not only bad, in her opinion, it can almost be said that their Wagang has reached a critical moment of life and death.

And once the spring breeze blows and the weather gets warmer, the Turks will invade southward. When the time comes, Wagang, which is blocking the front of the Eastern Turks, will bear the brunt!

Even if they prepare in advance and barely save a few important cities, what should they do about the small cities, villages and people outside?

Even if they want to fortify the walls and clear the country, in such a large place with so many people concentrated in various cities, the cost of food and drink is a huge problem. And once they miss the spring plowing, even if their Wagang Army is sitting in Luokou Granary,

It will also double the pressure and lose opportunities for continued development.

And then...

If the Turks don't leave for a short time, is it possible that they have to hide for a whole year, do nothing in the hills and clear the fields, and wait for the Turks to retreat on their own?

Also, if you escape this year, what about next year? What will happen if the Turks come again?

They can't just keep spending time with those Turks who come and go like the wind, right?

Moreover, they can't afford it!

But if they don't delay or dodge, and fight directly... they seem to have no chance of winning.

And even if there is a chance of winning, they will never risk their own strength to fight with those Turks. In that case, even if they win, it will be a miserable victory. By then, they will also have no chance to succeed in Wagang.

Either they were destroyed by the Li Clan or they were incorporated by the Ssangyong Army heading north!

So, this is a dead end!

Li Clan's move was not only insidious and vicious, but also hit home. It made her, a "beautiful strategist" known as a "femme fatale", feel ashamed. After thinking hard for a long time, she couldn't think of any effective way.

Countermeasures come.

"Countermeasures?"

"What countermeasures can be taken..."

After listening to Shen Luoyan's words and pondering for a while, Li Mi took a deep breath and then shook his head melancholy and sighed:

"Everyone knows that Li Clan is determined to destroy me!"

"Not long ago, he sent people to persuade us to surrender, and now he is resorting to such ruthless tactics. What can we do about it?"

"This issue……"

"The only thing our office can do is to send a large number of spies to Hedong Road or Guannai Road in advance to keep an eye on the Turks in Wuyuan County, Yulin County and other places, and make various preparations."

"What else can you do?"

After speaking, Li Mi sighed again and thought about it, but still did not mention what was mentioned in the letter.

Now that the situation in Wagang is very good, Wang Shichong and Du Fuwei are both suppressed by him and cannot hold their heads up. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for him, Li Mi, to be forced to surrender to the insidious villain Li Yuan under such circumstances!

Likewise, he was already deeply wary of the Ssangyong Army, which was developing very rapidly in the south of the Yangtze River and was strongly supported by the Song Dynasty. For Kou Zhong, it was obvious that he was cooperating, but secretly he might have other conspiracies.

And small moves, such as the so-called joint plan to penetrate and encroach on their Central Plains, are not interesting at all.

And he also believed that Du Fuwei, Li Zitong and even Xu Yuanlang in the Central Plains would definitely not accept that kind of proposal.

Even Wang Shichong of Luoyang, who originally cooperated with the Ssangyong Army, might be acting against his will?

In short, when the heroes of all parties cannot be of one mind, the so-called cooperation proposals that are taken for granted will definitely be impossible to achieve, and Li Mi will sneer at this.

not to mention……

Now that the New Year is approaching, time is tight, and even cooperation is already too late.

"That's what the Secret Master said!"

"Luoyan was also thinking about this issue just now."

Shen Luoyan nodded, but did not dare to refute.

"only……"
