Chapter 34: The Battle of Negative Li (Part 1)
After marching for several days, the army led by Li Mi came to Li and set up camp.
Nowadays, everyone in Fuli feels insecure and cannot leave their homes, fearing that an accidental head will fall to the ground. It turns out that now is the season of spring plowing. Now that the farming time is delayed, one can imagine how many people will starve to death this winter.
Li Mi looked at the terrain and couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Wang Bodang looked at Li Mi in confusion and said, "I don't know why my lord is so happy."
Wang Bodang was originally a general of the Zheng State, but now he began to call Li Mi his lord, which shows that he has taken refuge with Li Mi. With Zheng's domestic and foreign troubles, Li Mi has long been disobedient. I'm afraid it won't be long before the Zheng State changes hands.
Li Mi said with a smile: "Now my army is numerous and powerful, and our army has thousands of chariots, which is suitable for fighting on the plains. God is really helping me now."
"My lord is right," Wang Bodang agreed with a smile.
Lan Yu beside him smiled bitterly and said: "General, although our army has a large number of people, it has insufficient food and grass."
Li Mi thought for a while and said: "General, don't let others' ambitions destroy your own prestige. Now that we have many soldiers, we can fight this battle in one go and everything will be solved."
In fact, Li Mi also knows that there is a shortage of food and grass, but there is nothing he can do about it. The consumption of food and grass every day is astronomical, and now he can only hope to finish this battle in one go."
Lan Yu didn't say anything when she saw Li Mi like this, and could only feel distressed secretly.
When Han Yingyuwen saw Li Mi arriving in Chengdu with his army, he was overjoyed and said: "Brothers, the time has come for us to make great achievements. Let's go fight against those who come."
"General, you can't do that," said Meng Yuan behind him.
"Oh why"
"Now our army only has 10,000 soldiers, and looking at the smoke and dust caused by the enemy's cooking pots, it can be seen that the number of enemy troops is ten times that of our army. We should strengthen our defense and wait for the arrival of the army led by the lord," Meng Yuan explained.
Since Meng Yuan followed Han Yi, all his abilities have been greatly enhanced. A few days ago, he received guidance from Gongsun Yan and others. It can be said that he has made rapid progress now.
Nowadays, force has changed from 88 to 91, commander 82 has also become 85, intelligence 79 has become 80, and politics 70." It can be said that it has improved by leaps and bounds.
Yuwen Chengdu thought for a while and said: "That's good, my lord will arrive soon. Be careful these days to prevent Li Mi from attacking the camp."
Han Yi closed his eyes and rested his mind. From time to time he listened to the sound of horses bragging and playing in his ears, and he was also in high spirits.
This time he led 60,000 troops, plus Yuwen Chengdu's 10,000 troops, for a total of 70,000, of which 30,000 were surrendered by Zheng Guo. It can be said that the danger is very high, but the purpose this time is to delay, not win.
As long as Gongsun Yan succeeds, then he can deal with them well
"Lord, we are still thirty miles away," Wang Meng said.
"Mr. Wang, do you think we can win this time?" Han Yi looked at Wang Meng in confusion.
"Lord, why do you say this?"
"This time I have used almost all my troops. The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. If you win, you will achieve hegemony. If you lose, you will lose everything."
"My lord, being so delusional is not your style, lord."
"Hahahaha, sir, you are right, now let's see who wins,"
Li Mi looked at Han Yi's army, and slowly began to frown, and began to think secretly in his heart,
Wang Bo was the one who followed Li Mi the most. Now he naturally saw that Li Mi had something on his mind and asked cautiously: "My lord, what is it that makes you so worried?"
Li Mi looked at Uncle Wang and said, "Do you remember what I told you? Han Yi is not a simple person!"
"Lord, what do you mean by this?"
"Han Yi is a very dangerous person. You see, everything has changed since he came to Chenggao. It used to be that Chenggao was a place where birds had nothing to do and there were swarms of bandits. But now? Not only has the surrounding bandits been recruited, but the population has also changed.
The original population of tens of thousands has grown to nearly 200,000. Do you think such people can be safe?" Li Mi said seriously
"My lord, why do you need to have other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige? Although Han Yi is powerful, this time we have twice his strength, and our strength is not inferior to him. In addition to the lord's wisdom and martial arts, we are afraid that he will not succeed." Wang Bodang
While speaking with a serious face, he also flattered Li Mi from time to time. I have to say that he is very skilled.
Li Mi was very pleased with what he heard and said with a smile: "Bodang needs more help from you this time."
"The general will not hesitate to go through fire and water for his lord."
"Hahahahaha, with the help of the general, great things can be accomplished."
In the early morning, the temperature of the sun is mixed with the morning frost and dew. If you experience it carefully, you will feel that the air is so fresh, but no one dares to go there at this time.
The battlefield was so murderous that everyone began to hold their breath. All they saw in their eyes were people, and there were many, many people.
Looking at the dark area, Li Mi saw Han Yi in the center of the military formation at a glance and said: "Master Han Yi, when I saw him in the border town, he still looks the same."
"General Li Mi is serious," Han Yi closed his eyes and said,
Wang Meng looked at Li Mi and said: "Master, be careful, this person's popularity should not be underestimated."
Han Yi looked at Wang Meng and said, "When did you think that I underestimated my enemy?"
Wang Meng felt relieved and embarrassed at the same time.
"Do you dare to come out and see me?" Li Mi looked at the darkness and said
Han Yi looked at Zheng Jun and said, "What are you afraid of?"
"Dian Wei, Xu Chu, you two will come with me later."
"yes"
Li Mi looked at Wang Bodang and Lan Yu said: "You two will follow me later. Bodang, if you seize the opportunity and shoot Han Yi to death with one arrow, you must not let the tiger go back to the mountain."
"Lord, don't worry, leave it to me."
Two soldiers hurriedly placed a table and two chairs in the center of the battlefield
Han Yi looked at Li Mi under the protection of Dian Wei Xu Chu. He had a face like white jade, star eyebrows, sword eyes, red lips and white teeth, a mustache around his mouth, his hair was neatly combed and meticulously dressed in white clothes, and he had a lively pretty face.
Li Mi was also looking at Han Yi and murmured in his heart: This is the Korean master, it feels different, there is no tension at all, he is too calm."
"I don't know what happened to the general. Are you planning to take refuge with me? Or do you want to make peace?" Han Yi looked at Li Mi calmly.
"Young master is joking. It would be great if we could make peace. It depends on what you want." Li Mi smiled and said
"It's not impossible to make peace, but Zheng Guo needs to agree to some conditions." Han Yi closed his eyes and said
"Oh, sir, please tell me. Only those who can turn conflicts into friendship" Li Mi said with great joy, and sneered in his heart: "It depends on what you say."
"Actually, it's nothing. How about dividing the border town into our country, giving me 3,000 horses, and giving me the families of the 30,000 surrendered soldiers?" Han Yi smiled.
"You..." Li Mi looked at Han Yi and was confused for a moment. He originally thought that he could force Han Yi to retreat without any bloodshed, but he didn't expect that Han Yi opened his mouth and wiped out all this hope.
Apart from anything else, horses are already rare in the Central Plains. If you want to give him the border city, he doesn't care. After all, the city is in his hands now, but Han Yi wants 3,000 horses at a time. These alone are an astronomical figure, and
Give him the families of 30,000 soldiers in the border town, which is a labor force of 100,000 people.
