Li Mi was preparing to launch another attack on Dongdu, but at this time his enemy had been replaced by Wang Shichong.

Wang Shichong is a scheming and strategic person. He has no background and no qualifications. He has been going round and round for so many years, and to this point, his methods are beyond the reach of others.

Although Wang Shichong had 50,000 troops at this time, his real direct lineage only had 20,000 troops, mostly Jianghuai soldiers. The remaining 30,000 troops were given to him by the King of Yue, but these forbidden troops actually had no interest in Wang Shichong.

Wang Shichong drove his troops forward and ordered his troops to follow, but all the generals were hesitant, obeying orders and disobeying them.

Wang Shichong was so anxious that the group of people even made a fuss and almost caused a military rebellion. Everyone is afraid of Li Mi, but not you, Wang Shichong.

In the eyes of everyone, your royal life is nothing. You have no family background, no fame, no war, no meritorious service (the merits of suppressing bandits are selectively ignored), you are just a sycophant, why should you lead them.

The Forbidden Army is intertwined and its forces are extremely complicated.

Wang Shichong also knew the thoughts of this group of people and did not dare to trust them. It was too difficult to command this group of people to defeat Li Mi.

But the King of Yue's orders must be obeyed, otherwise Wang Shichong will lose the capital to establish himself. After all, Wang Shichong relied on his loyalty and courage of "all the generals fled, but I sent troops."

So Wang Shichong sent his trusted generals Guo Shiheng and Guo Shizhu to sneak attack Luokou Cang on a dark moonlit night in an attempt to seize the opportunity.

But who is Li Mi? He has just suffered the loss of a sneak attack. How could he not be prepared for a sneak attack? So Li Mi set up an ambush in advance. When Wang Shichong's troops climbed to Cangcheng, they were defeated by the ambushed Wei general Wang Bodang and others. The soldiers fought

Death, more than a thousand people drowned.

The battle at Luokoucang was like a big stick hitting Wang Shichong's head, which made his head buzz. After that, Wang Shichong was afraid of the strength of the Wei army and did not dare to attack easily again.

But the small court behind you doesn't care about that much. The court has given you so many soldiers, horses and food, and all it wants is for you, Wang Shichong, to calm down the thieves. If you, Wang Shichong, are like the others and don't dare to attack, then what else do you have with the others?

the difference.

As for the reason, the court didn't want to care.

In the end, Wang Shichong was forced to have no choice but to ask Guo Wenyi for help, saying that he could not restrain the three armies at all.

It was also the first time that Guo Wenyi knew the inside story. At this moment, he was like waking up from a dream, and he realized that not even Duan Da could suppress this group of forbidden troops, let alone Wang Shichong.

However, Guo Wenyi is quite interested in Wang Shichong. After all, he is the only available foreign aid, so he must not let him give up first.

So Guo Wenyi persuaded Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and gave Wang Shichong the power to deal with generals, which was the previous power of restraint.

Jie Quan is also called false Jie Quan. It appeared in the Han Dynasty. Originally, the emperor lent the festival to ministers who were performing temporary tasks to intimidate one party. When the minister completed the temporary task, the festival would be taken back. Later it was

Specifically refers to the right to kill without the consent of the emperor. By the time of the Three Kingdoms, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, officials who were in charge of local military affairs were often given the title of Chijie, Chijie or Jijie, and had the power of Chijie.

However, this power was too important. After the Sui Dynasty, the emperor often did not grant it lightly. That is to say, when a general like Huang Mingyuan went on an expedition, he would only grant temporary power.

Therefore, at Wang Shichong's level, if he wanted to have the power of saving before, he wouldn't even think about it.

The King of Yue also had great trust in Wang Shichong. After all, these days, there are really not many people who dare to fight for the court and can fight for the court.

Of course, not everyone in the small court in Luoyang saw the danger. Everyone, including Zhang Fangyi, believed that one should be cautious when granting administrative powers. But in the eyes of most people, Wang Shichong was just a nobody with no family background and no reputation, who could be dealt with casually.

It's not worth taking any precautions.

And Wang Shichong gained the power of restraint and finally began to make drastic changes to the three armies.

Although the other generals were still dissatisfied with Wang Shichong, after all, Wang Shichong held the handle of the sword and finally reluctantly obeyed the order.

It has to be said that Zhang Xutuo's death was a loss. If Lao Zhang could gain control and mobilize all his forces to fight the Wagang Army, he would not have died tragically in Dahai Temple.

With the power of restraint and no excuses, Wang Shichong finally launched an active attack on the Wei army again.

In order to show his determination, Wang Shichong ordered the military camp to be moved to the north of Luokou Cang, across the river from Li Mi.

Wang Shichong also sent people to build a pontoon bridge on the Luoshui River to engage in a decisive battle with Li Mi.

After the pontoon bridge was repaired, Wang Shichong ordered the entire army to attack.

As soon as the battle began, Wang Shichong used all his troops. I have to say, this guy was so stunned.

A large group of Sui troops crowded together and braved the rain of arrows to cross the pontoon bridge. From time to time, some people were shot or pushed into the water, causing heavy casualties. The narrow Luoshui River became a river for Sui soldiers to ascend to heaven.

Wang Shichong didn't feel sorry for the casualties of the soldiers at all. Anyway, these troops were given to Wang Shichong by the court, and they didn't follow his orders very much. Even if they were damaged, it had nothing to do with him.

Wang Shichong even hoped to weaken part of the Forbidden Army so as to highlight his importance.

Wang Shichong fought so fiercely that the Sui troops rushed forward one after another, risking their lives.

In particular, General Husi Wanshan was a rare fierce general in the Sui army, with courage that no one could match. With his horse in his hand, he moved forward in an indomitable manner, and all those who stood in his way were routed.

Li Mi's troops were unable to defeat him for a while.

Li Mi frowned as he looked at the situation he was seeing. He didn't understand how long it had just been and why the Sui army on the opposite side suddenly seemed to have changed into an army.

In this case, it was too late for the various ministries to rescue, and only Li Mi's direct troops were available. But Li Mi did not want to use his direct troops to fight the Sui army to the death.

Winning or losing means losing to Li Mi.

After Li Mi thought for a while, he ordered the entire army to retreat to the camp and stick to their treatment. At the same time, Li Mi also ordered Pei Renji, Hao Xiaode, Shan Xiongxin and others to lead their troops to support.

Li Mi had much more troops than Wang Shichong. As long as he blocked Wang Shichong's attack head-on and waited for reinforcements to arrive and surrounded him on all sides, he would not be able to get away from him.

But Husi Wanshan is indeed brave.

The cavalry under Husi Wanshan was considered the most elite force in the Eastern Capital, and Li Mi could not compare. His commander had two thousand elite cavalry, constantly attacking Li Mi's camp.

Soon the Wei army was defeated, and the fence was broken through by Husi Wanshan's troops.

Most of the troops under Li Mi's command were formed by bandits, and many of them were able to fight with the wind but not with tough battles. So seeing that the camp was almost broken through, the troops soon broke out and headed towards Luokou Cangcheng.

The situation on the entire battlefield was moving in a direction that was not conducive to Li Mi.

Li Mi was also frightened. If he continued to fight like this, his army would be defeated.

Li Mi had scolded Pei Renji, Shan Xiongxin and others countless times in his heart. The two sides were not long apart, so why did the reinforcements not arrive for so long.

At this time, Li Mi's confidant Li Xuanying also advised Li Mi to retreat to the city to avoid the danger for the time being.

Li Mi was unmoved. He didn't care about a camp. However, if he abandoned the main camp, it would be equivalent to changing positions with the Sui army. The morale of the Wei army would inevitably plummet, and the entire Wei state would fall into chaos.
