The next morning.

Outside Luoyang City, He Ruozhuang.

Xu Mu received the latest battle report from Zhang Xutuo.

The letter tells in detail the story of yesterday's battle. Lao Zhang personally led 200 cavalry to the tail of Limiwagang's army at night and attacked his food and grass.

Although the Limiwagang Army's logistics troops had more than 2,000 people, they could not defend against the 200 Tiefutu Army.

He was rushed into the baggage by the Tiefutu army, burning several food and grass, and burning countless baggage.

Later, in order to protect the food and grass, Li Mi had to send Zhai Rang to lead 7,000 elite cavalry back to the rescue.

Last night, Pei Renji led his troops to lead his troops across the river at night. Wang Shichong's troops were immersed in the joy of defeating the Wagang army. They did not find out, but they could only declare failure.

If you forcefully cross the river, it will be difficult to deal with from beginning to end and be attacked from both sides, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

In this way, Zhang Xutuo cleverly resolved the Luokoucang crisis this time.

After reading the battle report, Xu Mu immediately sighed: "Old Zhang is worthy of being the nemesis of the thief, and his judgment and grasp of the situation are really keen."

In the letter, Lao Zhang explained the basis for his judgment that Li Mi was about to launch an attack.

There are two points in total. First, the smoke in Li Mi’s army filled the cooking stove yesterday evening, far exceeding the usual days, exposing the meals of the Wagang Army.

If you have a temporary meal, there will be something wrong.

Secondly, the Wagang Army's logistics and food and supplies were frequently dispatched, and the transportation of supplies was endless.

Because the logistics forces of the Wagang Army are close to Yangcheng, the scouts in Yangcheng can clearly grasp their movements and temporarily dispatch the baggage. If they are abnormal, there will be monsters.

To be honest, you can make accurate judgments based on these clues, and not everyone can have this ability.

"Old Zhang is already a famous general. If he is equipped with military maps for marching and combat in the future, military telescopes, Taiping Knife, Flintlock Gun, Artillery..."

Xu Mu thought silently in his heart that if Lao Zhang was equipped with these high-tech weapons, the famous generals of the same period would probably be overshadowed, and the unification of the people of the world is just around the corner.

But at present, Xu Mu can only think about it. Telescopes should not be far away, but flintlock rifles and artillery...

Even if there is a research institute that can accelerate, it will probably be several years later.

...

Yue Prince's Mansion.

Yang Tong held a military newspaper from Yangcheng and fell into deep thoughts.

The content of the military newspaper is very simple, not much different from the content given to Xu Mu, but it was written in Sun Ying's tone.

After reading, Yang Tong was very excited and held Lu Chu's hand tightly, and was very excited: "Master Lu, Gu did not misjudgment the Marquis of Yangcheng! This time, the thieves of Wagang crossed the river while the night was dark. Fortunately, they were discovered by the Marquis of Yangcheng and led their troops to attack the logistics of Wagang thieves, burned countless food and supplies, surrounded Wei and saved Zhao, and resolved the danger in Luokou Cang!"

This morning, Wang Shichong sent back the battle report, telling the story of the enemy crossing the river last night.

"What General Wang said in his letter this morning was not expected to be fulfilled here. No wonder the thief of Wagang retreated halfway. It turned out to be the credit of the Marquis of Yangcheng."

Lu Chu took the letter and after reading it, he couldn't help but nodded and said, "This boy is quite talented and well versed in military tactics. With him guarding Yangcheng, he is enough to restrain the Wagang army, making it difficult for him to take care of the beginning and end."

But at the end of the letter, Lu Chu couldn't help but frown and said, "It's just that this Marquis of Yangcheng... is eager to seek merit and made military achievements, so he asked for rewards. It's really..."

Yang Tong was not concerned about this: "Master Lu's words are bad. When mountains and rivers are turbulent, loyal and righteous men also need rewards. This time, the Marquis of Yangcheng made this military merit, and I will not hesitate to reward me. It just so happened that Princess Yongchang was about to come to Luoyang, and in the future, the Marquis of Yangcheng will be the brother-in-law of the man in Yangcheng."

Lu Chu nodded silently and didn't say anything.

It is naturally necessary to reward meritoriously, and combined with the war report sent back by General Wang, Sun Ying is not a lie to report military merits.

"Today, Gu is happy. Can Master Lu accompany Gu to Xianweiju?"

Finally, Yang Tong pulled Lu Chu to Xianweiju and headed straight to the third floor.

He didn't taste the wine last time. I heard that the entire Luoyang City was circulating how strong the wine in Xianweiju was, and it was enough to kill the tiger, so I always wanted to try it.

This time, Fan Zhu personally received the drunken two people, and then helped carry the drunken two people out of Xianweiju and sent them back to the Yue Palace and Lu Palace.

...

South of Luoshui.

The Wagang Army is stationed in the tent of the commander.

Li Mi was furious and kept slapping the table. The generals below knelt on the ground, bowing their heads and daring not to speak.

"What a Marquis of Yangcheng! Burn my food and grass, destroy my supplies, and stop me from crossing the river. What about Xu Shiji? Is this how he guards Yangcheng?"

Li Mi was so angry that she squirted out an old blood, and her eyes were about to burst into flames.

In fact, after Pei Renji's foot was frustrated in Yangcheng, it encountered heavy rain again, which caused Yangcheng to not be captured.

Li Mi then adjusted his strategic policy and ordered Xu Shiji to lead three thousand elite soldiers to guard Yangcheng. He chose to bypass Yangcheng and directly dispatch troops to the south of Luoshui to prepare to cross the river.

Originally, he thought that the troops in Yangcheng were insufficient and could not take the initiative to attack, and Xu Shiji had three thousand elite soldiers guarding him, so he could be sure of no mistakes.

Who would have thought...

After a burst of rage, Li Mi calmed down a little.

Immediately, I looked at Bae In-ki.

"Deben, what Shubao said is really true. This person... attacked in the middle of the night, burned food and supplies, and blocked me from crossing the river. The timing of using troops is accurate. I often think that in this world, there has been no general since Zhang Xutuo's death, and I have never thought about it..."

Li Mi's expression was very complicated.

Two years ago, he defected to Zhai Rang's Wagang Army, who was being violently beaten by Zhang Xutuo.

He beat Zhai Rang to doubt his life and was ready to part with his own team.

As a result, Li Mi came, took advantage of the information aberrations and Zhang Xutuo underestimated the enemy and set up an ambush, and killed Zhang Xutuo indifferently.

Then Zhai Rang even willing to regard him as his lord and live under him.

What he was most proud of in his life was to set up an ambush and kill Zhang Xutuo.

Since then, he has soared, and has a smooth journey and has risen rapidly.

But today, Sun Ying made him feel the long-lost sense of frustration again.

He was a professional rebel expert. He started from Yang Xuangan, and later went to many mountains and finally gained his own power in the Wagang Army.

During this period, countless people were persuaded to death.

Including Yang Xuangan, his family and the clan surnamed Li...

It can be said that before joining Wagang, he repeatedly turned against him, repeatedly turned against him, and always struggled for his highest ideals.

"Sun Ying is a person with accurate judgment, weird military use, real and real, and it cannot be underestimated." Pei Renji slowly raised his head and smiled bitterly.

Originally he was going to succeed...

The enemy did not even find out. As long as he landed successfully and seized the beach, the subsequent troops could invade continuously.

Luokou Cang is just within reach.

But unexpectedly, the fire broke out in the rear, so he had to stop the loss in time and retreated again.

Li Mi snorted coldly when she heard this, "So what? Zhang Xutuo has died at my hands. Just Sun Ying is not afraid! If you pass the order, Xu Shiji is not good at guarding her. He should have considered his crime. However, the war is in a hurry. Let's keep an eye on Yangcheng with the crime. Don't let Sun Ying attack the army again!"

"In addition, you should quickly adjust the divisions and prepare to cross the river again. Within three days... and ten days, you must capture Luokou Cang!"

"promise!"

The generals responded in unison, but their expressions were a little disappointed.

Just because... Li Mi mentioned a person just now, Zhang Xutuo.

These people were all those who were once pressed on the ground by Zhang Xutuo and defected to various forces. The bosses of those forces were all suppressed and killed by Zhang Xutuo. Because they were small leaders, they were lucky enough to escape when they saw that the situation was wrong.

When they mentioned Zhang Xutuo, they were frightened.

No one is as relaxed as Li Mi.

Everyone was extremely grateful. Fortunately, Zhang Xutuo was dead, but he was just a little Yangcheng Marquis.

...

He Ruozhuang, Ferry.

Under the guards of the 100-armored Tiefutu personal guards, Xu Mu was commanding the villagers hired from the city to transport food.

Bags of grain were moved out of a warehouse, and these villagers were filled with confusion.

How can such a small warehouse hold so much food?

These civil servants were naturally recruited by Xu Mu and Fan Zhu.

Each person gave a high price of 30 cents a day and recruited a total of 500 people!

Five hundred ships docked around Heruozhuang's ferry, densely packed.

These five hundred civil servants flew bags of food from the warehouse in Neizhuang and put them on the boat. After working for a day, they finally filled the five hundred ships.

When the cargo ship was filled, it was already dark and it was about to come.

Xu Mu stood in front of the ferry, facing the cool river breeze, and said in a deep voice: "Go away!"

"promise!"
