Chapter 59: Another year of trouble (Nine)

"Yanshi is like a poisonous Tao Po.

Even though Li Mi knew it was poisonous, he could not resist the urge to bite. In the battle this winter, he lost countless money and grain, and it would be difficult to continue without supplements. One of these was that Li Mi knew the importance of the Eastern Capital. If he could seize the Eastern Capital, he could gain a foothold in the Central Plains.

With his reputation, he can grow rapidly and even threaten the existence of Guanzhong...

The third point is that Wang Shichong and Li Mi have a deep grudge. After the winter, he attacked Hulao, and obeyed Wang Shichong's instigation. However, he did not expect that he would lose his troops and generals at Hulao Pass and even contribute to the three towns. However, Wang Shichong took the opportunity to gain a foothold in Luoyang.

So, even if Li Mi knew that I was watching the tiger fight, he could not help but participate. As long as Li Mi participated, Wang Shichong wanted to cause trouble for me... Haha, he had to take back Yanshi first. But at that time, did he still have the energy to cause trouble for me?"

Seeing the last group of people starting to pass through the ferry, Li Yanqing finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

This time he sent troops, he not only took over all the Pei family's little ones, but also made him no longer worried in the future competition with Wang Shichong.

At the same time, as early as when Li Yanqing stationed his troops in Shilin Mountain, he spread rumors that Yanshi would suffer a disaster sooner or later.

The people of Yanshi were frightened, and Yuqing took the opportunity to announce that he would withdraw from Yanshi and return to Xingyang. He told everyone that Wang Shichong would not allow him to go to the Eastern Capital, let alone let him gain a foothold in Yanshi. Li Mi was eyeing him and his troops had already entered the Mi Ridge. Yanshi was a little far from Xingyang, so he really could not give Yanshi too much help. However, if the people of Yanshi were willing, they could evacuate to Gong County with him, and he would never sit idly by.

After the construction of the new city in Gongxian County, a large population needs to be filled.

Although refugees are a source of population, a large number of refugees are filled with them is always a hidden danger.

Li Yanqing needs to balance the population proportion of Gong County and maintain the stable development of Gong County. The influx of a large number of Yanshi people will greatly alleviate the proportion occupied by refugees. Most of these Yanshi people are proletarians. Li Yanqing told the Yanshi people that as much property they lost in Yanshi, he would give him a lot of compensation. Now Gong County has a large amount of wasteland that has been reclaimed, but lacks enough labor. If it is impossible to cultivate in time after the spring, then a large amount of wasteland may appear in the coming year.

Although there are many refugees, they still cannot meet Li Yanqing's needs.

After the Yanshi people arrived in Gong County, they not only allowed the arable land to be fully utilized, but also further expanded the development of Gong County.

According to the early planning of Gongxian New City, Li Yanqing might be able to create a Great Xingyang era that is not inferior to Luoyang on this land.

More than 80% of Yanshi people were willing to move to Gong County with Li Yanqing.

This is also an important reason why Li Yanqing asked Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to delay the withdrawal date until the 12th.

Basically, the migration was very smooth. Among these Yanshi people, those who do not have a wide range of prodigality can also provide Gongxian with great vitality.

Pei Renji did not return to Gong County immediately, but escorted the people of Yanshi with Li Yanqing.

"In this way, the ancient city of Yanshi is probably not guaranteed!"

Yan Qing said: "But even if they stay in Yanshi, they will not be able to protect Yanshi. Under the war, Yanshi will become ruins. And on the day the city is destroyed, these people will suffer hardships... Father-in-law, if the city is broken, we can rebuild it; if the person dies, nothing will be left."

Pei Renji nodded, "I know, and I'm not blaming you either.

When you are marching, considering the lives and deaths of these people, it is enough to show that you have not forgotten the sentence you left in the Qilin Pavilion: You are worried about the people when you live in the temple, and you are worried about the king when you live in the world... You are better than me. No wonder you can say a word that will allow the people in the city to follow you.

Haha, if it were me, I'm afraid I'll follow you..."

Li Yanqing smiled without answering.

Seeing that the people had passed through the Black Stone Ferry, he ordered the troops to start crossing the river.

At the same time, news came from the siege who came from Yanshi: Wang Shichong was surrounded by Li Mi outside Yanshi City. Fortunately, his nephew Wang Renze and Wang Junkuo (not Wang Junkuo in history books, but Wang Shichong's nephew) and others fought to the death to protect him. Only then did he break out of the siege.

Wang Shichong's nephew Wang Tai died in battle under Yanshi City.

The 20,000 Sui army was almost wiped out, and Li Mi had already prepared his troops and seemed to want to attack here.

"I knew for a long time that Master Li would not be used so willingly by me!" Yan Qing was calm and waved to a young man not far away to come over: "Liu Qing, go and inform Liu Heita and set fire to the camp. I think Li Mi is clever and should stop there."

Liu Qing, the young man who was captured alive in Yanshi, was appreciated by Du Ruhui because he presented the brush and ink used by Li Yanqing back then.

As for Yan Qing, he didn't have much nostalgia for that brush.

But for Du Ruhui, it seemed to be quite memorable. Therefore, Liu Qing was introduced to Li Yanqing and became a messenger. Originally, Yan Qing's messenger should be Liang Laoshi. But as the four major guards fought more and more frequently, Liang Laoshi's status became higher and higher. He could not be a messenger for the rest of his life... Liu Qing's appearance just liberated Liang Laoshi.

As early as when Li Mi was invited, Yan Qing and Du Ruhui guessed that Li Mi might be catching up with troubled waters.

So while protecting the people across the river, Du Ruhui ordered Liu Heita to set up a row of camps on the official road leading to Yanshi, where firewood and firewood were piled up.

Li Mi did have a trace of luck in taking advantage of the troubled waters.

This time he came to Yanshi, brought Wang Bodang to seek Han, Li Junxian Cai Jiande, and also brought Lu Ruzong, the former Yingyanglang general of the two counties, and appointed Lu Ruzong as the general of Yanshi and left Yanshi county town.

Yanshi is the only way for Li Mi to enter the Eastern Capital.

When Black Stone Pass is not accessible, he must cross the Ring to attack the Dongdu.

In this way, he needed a solid bridgehead. Yanshi undoubtedly provided him with such a bridgehead! Yanshi also had a Xingluo Cang. Although he was tossed by Wang Shichong at the beginning, a large amount of supplies and food could bring enough supplements to Li Mi. With this Xingluo Cang and Yanshi County... Li Mi's idea of ​​capturing the Eastern Capital became within reach.

However, Li Yanqing's Black Stone Pass was like a fishbone that was stuck in his throat, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

The rich population and abundant supplies in Xingyang made Li Mi salivate. To be honest, it didn't take him too much to beat Wang Shichong. Don't think that Wang Shichong brought 20,000 people over. Under such circumstances, how many people could have maintained their combat effectiveness in the 20,000 people?

Wang Bo was the king and wanted the Han Dynasty, Li Junxian Cai Jiande charged from all directions.

The Lu Ruzong was on the front, facing the enemy with rainy arrows... After a night of march, the Sui army, who arrived in Yanshi, suddenly became in chaos.

It’s a pity that Wang Shichong is too slippery.

As soon as he saw Li Mi appearing in Yanshi, Wang Shichong immediately reacted, and Li Yanqing and Li Mi joined forces to cooperate...

But what can he do?

He was able to join forces with Li Mi, and now Yan Qing can also join forces with Li Mi. In this year, what enemy is not defeated? Whoever has the greatest strength is the enemy. Wang Shichong uses the emperor to command the princes, just like Cao Cao in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms; Li Yanqing and Li Mi naturally have to join forces with Sun and Liu to withstand Wang Shichong's expansion. Otherwise, Wang Shichong would recruit Li Yanqing to Luoyang in the name of the emperor, what should Yan Qing do?

Going is a dead end.

If you don't go, Wang Shichong will immediately find an excuse to seize Xingyang with the power of Luoyang.

But it won't work now... If Wang Shichong wants to attack Xingyang, he must pass Li Mi's level. If Wang Shichong wants to regain Yanshi, Li Yanqing can also unite with Li Mi at any time to fight against Wang Shichong's attack. This makes Wang Shichong have no choice.

Under the protection of Wang Renze and Wang Junguo, Wang Shichong evacuated Yanshi at the cost of annihilation of the entire army.

As for whether he will take revenge on Li Mi? When will he come to take revenge on Li Mi?

Li Mi will not consider this issue for the time being.

"Sanlang, you and the man immediately set off their troops and attack the Black Stone Ferry.

Gu thought that Li Yanqing would move 80% of Yanshi people, and it would never be possible to cross the Black Stone Ferry so quickly. It would be best to destroy Li Yanqing at the Black Stone Ferry. Even if he couldn't be eliminated, he would have to suffer a big loss... This Huangkou boy is a damn monster. Since he started a war with him, Gu has never taken advantage of him."

Wang Bodang always followed Li Mi's leader and immediately went down to assemble the troops.

Li Mi took the opportunity to visit Qiu Huaiyi who was imprisoned by Li Yanqing. This was also a gift from Li Yanqing! A gift that Li Mi could not refuse.

Thinking back then, if it weren't for this Qiu Huaiyi, he would have tasted the taste of the destruction of his family.

At that time, Li Mi's wife was pregnant. After Li Mi escaped, Wang Xiucai's family was killed, and Li Mi's wife was even more dead.

When Li Mi thought of Qiu Huaiyi, she hated her teeth so much that she felt itchy.

He wouldn't just kill Qiu Huaiyi like this, that would be a bargain. Li Mi thought about how to torture Qiu Huaiyi's life is worse than death, and finally take the heads of others.

But before he could get into the prison, a probe came to report: "King, a fire broke out at the Black Stone Ferry."

"A big fire?"

Li Mi was stunned, and quickly followed the horse to climb to the top of the city, raising her eyes toward the Black Stone Ferry.

"Have you seen clearly where the fire was ignited?"

"Your Majesty, Du Ruhui, the general of Li Langjun, set up camp on the official road ten miles to the Heishi Ferry when he was evacuating Yanshi.

The fire came from Li Langjun's camp..."

When Wang Bo was just getting some good soldiers at this time, he got the news.

He and the king asked the man to climb to the top of the city, "Your Majesty, I heard that the black stone has crossed the fire?"

Li Mi's expression was quite complicated, she shook her head gently and sighed.

"Sanlang, let's stop the troops."

"Master, don't you attack again?"

Li Mi smiled bitterly and said, "What else is there to attack? That big fire must have been Li Yanqing himself ignited the camp he set up on the official road."

"ah?"

"He was telling Gu that he had guessed Gu's thoughts.

I dare say that if you pass by now, he must have set up a formation and waited for you to come over and fall into the trap of his own…”

There was a look of loss on his face, and Li Mi walked down the city wall with her hands behind her back.

He murmured in a low voice as he walked.

If Wang Bodou and Wang wanted Han closer, they would definitely hear what Li Mi muttered.

"When Yu is born, how can Liang be born...When Yu is born, how can Liang be born?"
