Chapter 10 Doubts

Until late at night, Li Mi did not launch a second attack. The soldiers and horses in Luoyang City also had a chance to rest and rectify. All the generals in Luoyang City also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, no one was willing to fight against Li Mi who held the soldiers and was insidious and cunning.

In Yang Gongqing's mansion, Linglong and Jiaolong were all in Yang Gongqing's bedroom. Several people were talking about Li Mi's attack on Luoyang this time. Although Li Mi's sudden withdrawal of troops seemed to lure the enemy into depth, after we carefully considered it, there was something wrong with it. With Li Mi's scheming and ingenious calculations, Song Mengqiu would never be able to see the flaws of the plan so easily.

Yang Gongqing thought carefully and said, "Li Mi's move is indeed strange. Logically speaking, his number of troops is far greater than that of us. Moreover, his Xingyang is surrounded by enemies at this moment, and he may be robbed by other forces at any time. He does not have enough time to fight us for a protracted battle, otherwise the morale and food and grass of his army will be a problem. But judging from today's situation, Li Mi did not plan to fight for life and death in Luoyang. Is it true that Li Mi had made another idea at this moment?"

Kou Zhong said: "What is Li Mi paying attention to when he is fighting? Only Li Mi knows in his heart, hehe, but then again, if Li Mi already knows that Wang Shichong was seriously injured, I would not risk the price of huge casualties to fight against Luoyang soldiers and horses in the short term. As long as Luoyang soldiers and horses have always been dominated by Wang Xuanying, even if they are as strong as a big city like Luoyang, they will never be able to defend for a few days."

I thought about it carefully and said, "No, this is definitely not Li Mi's combat style. If I guess you are right, it must be that Li Mi has already been with the forces around Xingyang, such as Li Zitong, so Li Mi will not have any worries and will feel at ease and dare to fight a protracted battle with Luoyang."

Yang Gongqing nodded and said, "Young Master said it well, but how could Li Zitong collude with Li Mi? Some time ago, Li Mi and Li Zitong also accused each other of their intention to be ill-telled about each other's city, but now they can collude with each other. Politics is really incredible."

I smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, you are a veteran general who has been in the officialdom for decades. Why haven't you seen the faces of these politicians clearly yet? This has always been like this in this field. There are only eternal interests, no eternal friends and enemies. Li Mi has reached an agreement with Li Zitong, which can be said to be of great benefit to both of them. Li Mi can have no worries, and Li Zitong can use Li Mi's troops to resist Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army. With this powerful relationship, if it were us, we would choose to do this without hesitation."

Xu Ziling said meaningfully: "I don't know what kind of siege Li Mi will take tomorrow. Such a painless siege makes people feel a sense of depression. Now I really want to fight Li Mi."

I smiled, walked to Xu Ziling and smiled, "Don't worry, Xiaoling, it won't take long to make your wish come true. I hope that Wang Xuanying will not ruin all the troops in Luoyang."

Kou Zhong stared at Xu Ziling with a surprised expression. The people around him were puzzled, especially Xu Ziling was a little confused. He looked at Kou Zhong's face with a strange smile and asked strangely: "Why do you boy look at me with this kind of smile? I feel very uncomfortable when I look at you. I have a bad premonition. What you boy is thinking in your heart now must be nothing good."

Linglongjiao listened to Hou Jiao and said, "Oh? Haha, if I really want to hear what Ziling said, I really want to hear what Xiao Zhong wants to say."

A helpless expression appeared on Xu Ziling's face, and Kou Zhongze smiled and said, "I'm thinking that in the past, our young master always wanted to look at a pastoral life, and traveled between mountains and rivers. The thing he didn't want to see the most was the fight and killing. But now he took the initiative to fight with Li Mi. Hehe, tell me what I was...hehe."

After hearing this, Xu Ziling glared at Kou Zhong with anger and smiled: "I knew you can't spit out ivory from your mouth. The pastoral life is still the greatest yearning in my heart. But Xu Ziling is also a person who understands the truth. Without peace in the world, there will be no peace in the world. When chaos has become today, only by violence and violence can the world be unified as soon as possible. It is not too late for me to travel freely in the mountains and rivers."

When Kou Zhong heard this, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Xu Ziling's shoulder tightly, his eyes flashing with sincerity.

I smiled and came to Xu Ziling and said, "Hehe, you guy has finally gotten enlightened."

After hearing my words, Kou Zhong looked at him with a strange smile on his face. Xu Ziling looked at me helplessly and said, "Brother, why do you understand Xiao Zhong? Alas, this idea is hard to do if someone is good."

After hearing this, everyone looked at me and I looked at you and burst into laughter.

Although Li Mi still showed no sign of sending troops to attack the city that night, the Luoyang defenders still did not relax. There were two soldiers guarding each place on the city wall, which was ten times the number of defenders. If it were during the peace period, the defenders would only have one soldier guarding every five places. Not only these, in addition to these defenders, there were soldiers patrolling back and forth with torches on the city wall, each with a group of ten people, and there were five groups above each gate, which were rotated every hour. There were five groups of soldiers patrolling each other on the city gate and the city gate. Even the burning torches on the city wall were illuminated by the fire at a hundred steps outside the city, as bright as day. The strict guards were enough to make anyone give up the idea of ​​sneak attack at night.

The next day, just as the sky was clear, Li Mi launched an attack on Luoyang. This time, Li Mi unexpectedly did not use any siege equipment, but still used the method of cursing under the city to incite Wang Xuanying to go out of the city to fight. Wang Xuanying was also obedient. Under the insults of Li Mi's subordinates, he finally ignored the hard blocking of the general, and angrily led 30,000 troops out of the city and started fighting with Li Mi's army.

Wang Xuanying did not send us to the battle. It seems that he did not want to put Li Mi's credit for fighting in the hands of any of us. He always put on his jacket and hid under the heavy protection of Luoyang's soldiers. However, his younger brother Wang Xuanshu fought desperately, and his body had already been stained with blood.

Although the war was fierce, Li Mi seemed to intentionally control the rhythm of the battle scene, so there were no major casualties between the two sides. Due to the absolute advantage of the number of troops, Li Mi's army gradually gained the upper hand. When the Luoyang generals watching the battle on the city wall were anxious, Li Mi made an amazing decision to withdraw his troops. In the blink of an eye, the tens of thousands of troops led by Li Mi immediately shrank into a dense formation and quickly retreated to their camp. Wang Xuanying saw Li Mi's army retreat, and immediately shouted and rushed to chase after him as if he was injected with a strong stimulant.

When Song Mengqiu saw this, his face immediately disappeared without a trace of blood, as pale as white paper, his eyes were full of anxiety, his eyebrows were frowning, and his fists were clenched. It could be seen that at this moment, he was indeed worried in his heart, and the other generals were like this.

Xu Ziling whispered in my ear: "Hehe, Wang Xuanying has always been stubborn. Last time, he said that if anyone withdraws troops without his order, he will definitely be dealt with by military law. Now that he is pursuing Li Mi, he is probably already caught by Li Mi's plan to lure the enemy into depth. I don't know what Li Mi thought. This plan to lure the enemy into depth was clearly seen through yesterday, but he still dares to use this plan today. Could it be that he really despises us so much?"

Kou Zhong smiled and muttered softly: "I don't care what Li Mi thinks. Hehe, I won't worry about Wang Xuanying's life or death. But after seeing the faces of Song Mengqiu and others, I feel funny. Why do you think he is anxious at this moment? In my opinion, he is not really worried about Wang Xuanying and the safety of the 30,000 soldiers, but about his status in Luoyang."

I thought about it carefully and said, "This matter will definitely not be that simple."

Kou Zhong was stunned when he heard this, but did not understand the meaning of what I said. He hurriedly asked in my ear: "Brother, what are you talking about? What isn't it? Is this boy Song Mengqiu really worried about Wang Xuanying's safety?"

I looked at Kou Zhong and smiled and said, "I'm not talking about him, I'm talking about Li Mi. With Li Mi's familiarity with military tactics, how could he use a strategy that has been seen through as Xiaoling said? There is something strange about it, and there are mystery that we haven't figured out yet."

After hearing this, Xu Ziling, Kou Zhong, and several confidant generals of Yang Gongqing standing next to us nodded at the same time. I also said to myself: "But what is Li Mi trying to achieve this? It's really puzzling."

At this moment, a violent roar came from the front of Luoyang City, which was the sound of tens of thousands of horse hooves stepping on the ground. Wang Xuan rode on a high-headed horse, leading Luoyang's soldiers back, and his face was even more arrogant. When he passed by the city gate, he glanced at us on the city tower.

Kou Zhong said in some atmosphere: "What the hell is this kid Li Mi? Such a great opportunity actually made Wang Xuanying run back. Looking at his arrogant posture, I didn't even get angry. I really want to go up and punch him in the face, and exude the anger that I hold in my heart."

I turned around, looked at Kou Zhong's words, and said half-smiling and half-angry: "Xiao Zhong, don't talk nonsense about Hua. The so-called walls are called. Be careful to be told that boy Wang Xuanying. He is worthy of his wish now, and you must not lose the big picture because of the small."

Kou Zhong touched his head and smiled, "Hehe, brother, don't worry, Xiao Zhong is mentally conscious and will never miss our big things."

I smiled and patted Kou Zhong's shoulder. At this moment, Wang Xuanying walked up with a spring breeze on his face. When he passed by us, he glanced at me, smiled proudly twice before walking towards Song Mengqiu and others.

Song Mengqiu's face was already full of smiles at this time, and he smiled almost flatteringly: "The eldest son is indeed powerful. When Li Mi saw the eldest son, he no longer had the majesty of the past, and could only escape by looking at the wind. The eldest son has the courage of the Shangshu back then."

The other generals behind Song Mengqiu also responded, just some praise, just to win Wang Xuanying's favor. Sure enough, after everyone was bragging, Wang Xuanying was already smiling at the moment, squinted his eyes, and had already floated up, and said proudly: "Li Mi is just a false reputation. I really don't know why my father valued Li Mi so much and regarded him as a big trouble. Unfortunately, this time Li Mi stayed away from Li Mi's camp and was unable to capture this thief alive. If Li Mi dared to launch an army to invade tomorrow, he would definitely not return."

When Wang Xuanying said this, he glanced at me from time to time, which was very provocative. Kou Zhong saw it and his face was angry. Xu Ziling hurriedly pulled the corner of his clothes behind him, reminding him not to cause any trouble because of his anger.

After Wang Xuanying finished speaking, he said to me in a provocative tone: "What does the military advisor mean when he saw this battle alone? How powerful is Li Mi? How powerful is my Luoyang military horse?"

Song Mengqiu and others were all cunning people. How could they not hear that Wang Xuan should have intended to embarrass me? They hurriedly kept silent and did not help each other. The good idea he had made in his heart would never make a grudge with me in public.

I smiled and said, "The eldest son Mingjian, Li Mi's reputation must have real talent and knowledge. It is definitely not something that ordinary ordinary people can see. Otherwise, countless wise and brave heroes in the world will never let Li Mi be great. Therefore, I advise the eldest son not to be careless when confronting Li Mi in the future, but to ruin the lives of countless Erlang in Luoyang. Looking at the entire battlefield in this battle, the Erlangmen in Luoyang are all brave, like tigers entering a flock of sheep. This time, Li Mi's army retreated when it gains the upper hand, all due to the bravery of our Luoyang army and horse fighting."

With a "bang!", Wang Xuanying slapped the tea table beside him with a palm, shaking the tea cup on the tea table to the ground. The generals around him were startled and couldn't help but make a chill, standing aside in silence.

Wang Xuanying stood up angrily and glared at me, while I looked at him coldly. The Shuanglong and several other generals standing next to me were also staring at Wang Xuanying and several generals around him with expressionless faces.

"Come!" Wang Xuanying shouted loudly.

"Here!" As soon as Wang Xuanying finished speaking, more than a dozen soldiers holding swords rushed in.

All the generals in the room immediately became nervous. Seeing that murderous aura flashed in my eyes, Song Mengqiu hurriedly walked behind Wang Xuanying, pulled the corner of his clothes, and whispered: "Young Master Sansi, if it caused Long Tianxiao's murderous intent, no one in our room could walk out alive."

After hearing this, Wang Xuanying suddenly felt a sudden heart, and immediately remembered that even the arrogant Chao Gongcuo died in my hands. He quickly suppressed his anger and changed his words and said, "You guys will give orders immediately. Today is a great victory over Li Mi, and reward the three armies at noon!" After that, he snorted, glared at me, and walked away.
