Chapter 6 Drawing Luoyang to Borrow the East Wind

After I arrived at the Dong Family Restaurant, I told Xu Xingzhi all the strength I had now. From the moment I heard me speak, Xu Xingzhi's mouth never closed and he exclaimed from time to time. After I finished speaking to him, Xu Xingzhi's expression was still a little dazed, sitting there blankly without reacting. It took a long time to breathe and drink the tea in front of him, and then it was still difficult to deal with it.

The letter said to me: "I really didn't expect that Master Long had mastered such strong strength at this time, but there were some problems with this. After all, although Lin Shihong has surrendered to Master Long, his credit has never been worth much money. Moreover, Xiao Xian's power has expanded very quickly recently, with its troops reaching 400,000, and it has become the largest military group in Jiangnan, with its strength being especially above the Song family. The threat Lin Shihong posed to him is getting smaller and smaller."

I nodded and said, "Yes, I saw this situation, so Luoyang is a must for me. No matter what means I use, I have to get Luoyang, because now I borrow Li Mi to attack Luoyang is the best time for me to get Luoyang. If we want to get Luoyang, we may have to pay a heavy price."

After hearing this, Xu Xingzhi stepped down the teacup in his hand, stood up, paced in the room, closed his eyes and pondered. After a while, he turned around and asked me, "What are the good ideas of Mr. Long?"

I shook my head: "Luoyang seems calm now, but in fact, the collusion between the forces in secret is extremely chaotic. If I don't have any good luck, it will lead to the loss of the whole game. If I want to get Luoyang, the only way is to get Luoyang's military power. Otherwise, the three thousand soldiers and horses that secretly sneaked into Luoyang by relying on Tianya Hai Pavilion are nothing but Wang Shichong or Li Mi's teeth."

After hearing my words, Xu Xingzhi smiled and said, "Didn't Master Long just say that Lang Feng seems to be secretly colluding with Li Mi? And I think the reason why he was assassinated by Yang Xuyan was probably because Li Shimin discovered that he had colluded with Li Mi. Therefore, Li Shimin sent Yang Xuyan to assassinate Lang Feng, so he came to reduce the chance of Li Mi seizing Luoyang. After all, what Li Shimin refused to see was that Luoyang fell into the hands of Li Mi. This person's martial arts skills were very good. If Luoyang was captured again, no one in the world except Master Long could be his. If Lang Feng was assassinated, Li Mi lost his inner support in Luoyang City. Therefore, he had to rely on a strong attack. Luoyang's indestructible city defense is famous in the world. The casualties on both sides must be extremely heavy. Whether Li Mi seized Luoyang or Wang Shichong defended it.

Luoyang will not be able to deal with the attacks of other forces, and these are what Li Shimin and other forces are happy to see. At least Dou Jiande, who has always been eyeing Luoyang, is most willing to see. Hebei is adjacent to Luoyang, and Dou Jiande's army can appear under Luoyang in only two days and nights. Hehe, I said so many things just now, and the only purpose is to say that Lang Feng is particularly important to our Luoyang plan. Moreover, he is now deeply trusted by Wang Shichong, and he thinks he is doing it perfectly. I don't know that his evil plan has been discovered by Master Long. Master Long sees whether we can use our brains on this person. Anyone who sells his owners and seeks honor is extremely ambitious. If I guess correctly, Lang Feng will never give Luoyang to Li Mi so willingly."

My eyes flashed and I couldn't help but say, "Yes, why did I forget such an important villain as Lang Feng? Hehe, it's best to make an idea on him. This kid is trying hard to get a relationship with me now, and must be trying to use my hands to gain greater military power in Luoyang. And the only thing we lack now is to get military power in Luoyang."

Xu Xingzhi returned to his seat and smiled and said, "It is not difficult to obtain military power in a short time. As long as you find someone to attack Wang Shichong and seriously injured, his two sons are not good, so he has no choice but to temporarily hand over military power to Master Long. However, he is probably going to endure the strict surveillance of Long Ye's every move under the secret arrangement to prevent Master Long from taking his Luoyang. Therefore, the most important thing for Master Long is to get the allegiance of several generals under Wang Shizhong who were suspicious of him and the admiration of Luoyang soldiers. By then, we will achieve twice the result with half the effort to seize Luoyang."

I lowered my head and thought, as the book said, Chao Gongcuo assassinated Wang Shichong in the Ming Dynasty, and Li Mi stabbed Wang Shichong in the dark, so that Wang Shichong was seriously injured. However, now Chao Gongcuo has been killed by me, and there is obviously no other expert in Li Mi's army of Chao Gongcuo to attract Wang Shichong's attention in the Ming Dynasty. Even if he fails to assassinate, he can escape unscathed. Therefore, it is almost impossible for Li Mi to assassinate Wang Shichong in Luoyang City, but what can I do to make Wang Shichong seriously? Is it unrealistic to ask me to take action by myself? Thinking of this, I felt more and more headaches, so I wanted to ask Xu Xingzhi: "Mr. Xu has a good suggestion for assassinating Wang Shichong?"

Xu Xingzhi shook his head and said, "We send people to assassinate Wang Shichong. This is a poor strategy. Unless it is absolutely necessary to use it recklessly, we will definitely be overthrown if we are not good. Wang Shichong's skills are already among the top masters, and in those days at critical moments, he will definitely invite Master Long to accompany him. With Master Long's ability, if someone still asks someone to stab Wang Shichong in person, it will be extremely unfavorable to Master Long's future reputation. It is best to be able to use his brains on other forces, such as Dugu's silence."

I was slightly stunned. The teacup in my hand almost fell on the table. I had to admire Xu Xingzhi's talent and could grasp every change. Now that I promised to treat You Chuhong, Dugu Feng was secretly accused of me now. All of this brought my relationship with Dugu Valve to a higher level. Even if I pulled Dugu Valve to my side, it was impossible. And I could also instigate Dugu Feng to send someone to assassinate Wang Shichong.

At this moment, someone suddenly came to report that Wang Shichong sent someone to invite me to the Shangshu Mansion, saying that there was something important to discuss.

When I heard this news, Xu Xingzhi and I were slightly stunned. I really didn't understand why Wang Shichong summoned me over at this time. Xu Xingzhi said to me: "Master Long should go to the subtle. Perhaps Wang Shichong is planning to take what action. If he wants to attack the palace at this time, Master Long must organize him, otherwise my only vague plan will be disrupted by Wang Shichong."

I nodded, and then followed the people sent by Wang Shichong to his mansion. As soon as I entered the lobby, I saw Wang Shichong sitting majestic and tall on his head. Among the people sitting upright in the hall, I only knew Wang Shichong's two sons, Lang Feng, and Song Mengqiu, who had met at the last banquet. All the others were innocent.

As soon as I was worse than the room, I attracted everyone's eyes to me. I was about to salute Wang Shichong, who was so powerful that I was about to salute Wang Shichong, but I heard Wang Shichong smile and say, "The sky smiles free of gifts." I was eager for Wang Shichong to say this, so I simply bowed to Wang Shichong.

Wang Shichong was smiling at this time, and stood up and walked to me to hold my hand and said intimately: "Come on, I recommend a few people to Tianxiao, these are all right-hand assistants of this Shangshu." I smiled and nodded to Wang Shichong.

Wang Shichong took my hand and came out the first old man. Only then did I recognize this person, I also knew Ouyang Xiyi. I smiled and bowed to Ouyang Xiyi, "I have seen Senior Ouyang."

Wang Shichong was stunned after hearing this and asked, "Tianxiao and Brother Ouyang are old acquaintances?"

I smiled and said, "The General forgot that he had met Senior Ouyang in the mansion of Senior Confucian King, and the General was there at that time."

Wang Shichong suddenly realized and said, "By the way, I remembered it, haha, look at my memory."

Ouyang Xiyi stood up and patted my shoulder and smiled, "I thought at that time that my little brother would be famous all over the world in the future. Now it is true that I am saying that heroes are young, haha, we are all old now, and the world is yours."

After I was humble, Wang Shichong introduced the others to me one by one.

Ouyang Xiyi is surrounded by Wang Shichong's two sons, Wang Honglie and Wang Xingben, two relatives. They look like mediocre people who know how to exclude and play with power. Among the four, Wang Shichong's second son Wang Xuanshu looks strong, radiant and heroic. Although he is not as tall as Kou Zhong, he is considered to be tall and handsome, but his childishness has not been eliminated and he still needs a period of experience to stand alone.

Next were Zhang Zhenzhou and Yang Gongqing, who had been stationed in Luoyang Acropolis.

Zhang Zhenzhou has a long figure, her thin face looks smart and confident, her expression is calm and composed, she rarely smiles, her high forehead is slightly raised, as if she contains infinite intelligence. She is thirty-five or six years old, and she seems to be a meticulous person

Yang Gongqing was a person who was a little older and of medium figure. He always had a gentle smile on his face. His slender eyes made people feel that he was a very cunning but righteous person. His voice was slow and he spoke, giving people a discontinuous feeling. When answering Wang Shichong's words, he seemed to be very respectful to Wang Shichong on the surface, but I clearly captured the contempt, disappointment and even a little resentment in his eyes.

When I was observing him, Yang Gongqing was also looking at me carefully, with a deep and unpredictable smile on his face, but his eyes showed no concealment in his eyes.

After being polite with Yang Gongqing, my eyes stopped on a young woman with a hot figure. She was the only woman in this hall, just like a little green in the flowers, which attracted people's attention. I said in my heart: This is probably the "Beautiful Beard" Linglong and beautiful, haha, it turns out to be as gorgeous and charming as mentioned in the book.

She has a petite figure, a long sword carrying a long sword, but her expression is surprisingly serious, with a serious look, and a unique mature charm. Even if she feels that she is so arrogant and cannot be offended, she can also make people secretly rise up. If she can break through her barrier that protects herself, it will be the greatest achievement of a man. Although her beauty and temperament cannot be compared with Zhu Yuyan and the women, she has the unique wild and unrestrained beauty of women outside the border.

I couldn't help but say to her kindly: "I'm the name of Miss Xiaoxing, and I finally got to see you recently." But Linglongjiao gave me a cold look and turned around. She left me alone to stand there in embarrassment. Fortunately, after Wang Shichong introduced me, he gave me to the seat, but I was thinking in my heart that the people in this hall were all core figures in Wang Shichong's power, and his relatives occupied four of them. It can be seen that Wang Shichong is definitely a nepotist, and this point alone destined to be difficult for him to achieve great things.

After Wang Shichong signaled everyone to sit down, he looked at the unknown people present and said, "I'm summoning everyone here today to discuss with you the matter of attacking the palace."

After hearing Wang Shichong's words, I was shocked. If Wang Shichong was guessed by Xu Xingzhi, he could no longer hold back and wanted to attack the palace. I was about to speak, but Wang Shichong's eldest son Wang Xuanying said first: "Father's move is great. Now Li Mi is preparing for troops, food and grass, and it is possible to appear at Luoyang City at any time. If he is allowed to cooperate with Dugu's squad, we will be in an extremely passive state at that time, which will be detrimental to our defense against Luoyang. Therefore, I firmly advocate the capture of the palace first and eliminate the Dugu's squad."

Wang Shi nodded with great interest, needless to say that he had instructed his son to say this in advance.

Yang Gongqing stood up and advised: "I firmly oppose the attack on the palace."

Wang Xuanying snorted coldly, looked at Yang Gongqing coldly, and retreated to his seat.

Wang Shichong asked expressionlessly: "Why do you say this to the ministers?"

Yang Gongqing said in a deep voice: "The imperial guards under Dugu Feng's jurisdiction are divided into twelve guards, cavalry guards, Wugu, Tungu, Imperial guards, Houwei, etc. Each guard has about 500 people, with a total force of more than 5,000. They cannot be underestimated. They also have a strong city to defend, and with Dugu Feng's character, they will never retreat without fighting. Besides, most of our current elite troops have been deployed to the surrounding acropolis to be wary of Li Mi's attacks that may be launched at any time. It is precisely because of this that Li Mi dared not attack Yanshi easily. Due to the solidity of Luoyang, our siege equipment has always been very scarce. Therefore, if we rely on troops to attack the palace alone, the current troops in Luoyang City will definitely be seriously injured. However, if Yanshi's troops are transferred back to Luoyang, Li Mi can take advantage of the opportunity. If Yanshi loses, Luoyang will be in danger."

At this time, Wang Xuanying gave a wink at Wang Xingben on the side, and saw Wang Xingben sarcastically saying, "Yang Gongqing, are you old and brave enough? Wouldn't you say this to others to destroy your might? Humph, do you really think that our Luoyang City Guards are useless?"

Yang Gongqing was furious and was about to retort, but was interrupted by Wang Shichong and said, "Okay, don't argue anymore! Keep your energy to deal with the enemy."

Yang Gongqing had no choice but to hold back the words he had on his mouth, and angrily retreated to his seat, picked up the sand from the coffee table next to him and drank it all. Linglong's face was also full of displeasure and anger.

At this time, Wang Shichong looked at me and said, "What do you think of Tianxiao?"

I stood up and smiled and said, "I am supporting General Yang, now is not the best time to attack the palace. The reason why General Yang said is enough to cause us to consider it deeply. The heavy casualties will definitely give other forces lurking in Luoyang City an opportunity to take advantage of it. At that time, Li Mi should work hard to defeat the Dugu Clan. Even if we conquer the palace with very small casualties, once Luoyang stabilizes, how can Li Mi come to attack Luoyang? If Li Mi cannot take the initiative to attack Luoyang Shangshu, how can he defeat Li Mi and destroy this tiger entrenched by his side?"

Wang Xuanying snorted coldly. Just as he was about to use the same trick again, he saw Wang Shichong turn his head and glar at Wang Xuanying. Wang Xuanying was so scared that he hurriedly put his words back, but he still glared at me fiercely. Then he pondered for a while and sneered, "So let the old man Dugu live for a longer time first."
