When Xu Shiye led the main generals stationed in Wei County and most of the military forces to Handan and embarked on the journey north again, in fact, in this just over a month, the huge changes in the situation in the heart of the Central Plains on the south bank of the Yellow River actually shocked the entire Sui Dynasty. It can even be said that it had "had sounded the death knell of the demise of the Sui Court"...

Now it has entered the early winter of the twelve years of Daye. If we consider it according to the regular season, this season is the great time for ordinary people to enjoy the "children, wife, and warm kang" after a year of hard work.[]

However, due to the rising smoke and rampant thieves in the world, large areas of land were deserted and hungry people were everywhere. Instead, the displaced civilians entered the most "hard" season. It is conceivable that the civilians who have no harvest and lack food and clothing will be in the winter of ice and snow. Even if they want to use grassroots and tree bark to fill their hunger, this season is still searching for nothing; it is not uncommon to change their children and eat.

However, at this moment, Li Mi led thousands of elite troops to attack Luokou Cang in one fell swoop. After occupying Luokou Cang, Li Mi seemed to be very "admissing" and completely followed the advice of Xu Shiye's secret letter. He immediately began to organize large-scale opening of warehouses and grain releases as soon as he stabilized.

Just as recorded in history, Li Mi's rapid opening of warehouses and grains caused the "opening warehouses and the old and the weak to take the road, and the people were endless, with hundreds of thousands of troops" and "the world's responsibility was entrusted to tens of thousands of troops in tens of thousands of times"... In this way, the Wagang army, which had not yet been followed, completely arrived at Luokoucang. In the blink of an eye, Li Mi's command had already occupied hundreds of thousands of people. In a moment, Wagang became the first and the leader among the anti-Sui tyrants.

Did Li Mi at this time become more suspicious of Xu Shiye? In fact, it is self-evident...

At that time, when Shan Xiongxin led his army to suppress Hulao Pass and fought with the troops of Pei Renji, the troops of the Henan ambassador of Sui Ting, to completely attract the attention of Pei Renji's troops, Li Mi also led the cavalry to secretly drive to Kangcheng. After Zhai Rang, the leader of Wagang in Xingyang, was in order to ensure the success of the sneak attack on Luokoucang and to respond to Li Mi's troops who led his army to attack Luokoucang in the early stage, he also launched a division of troops.

In addition to leaving Zheng Yi to stay in Xingyang, Zhai Rang also ordered Shan Xiongxin's troops to continue to put pressure on Pei Renji's troops in Hulao Pass and entangled the tens of thousands of Sui Ting's strong troops in Hulao Pass. Zhai Rang himself personally led 20,000 elite troops along the route of Li Mi leading his army to attack Luokoucang. Li Mi set off a few days later to pick up Li Mi's troops.

This made Li Mi quickly assisted the relatively regular army led by Zhai Rang, and was able to smoothly suppress and reorganize the rapidly expanding troops, and had the ability to resist the attacks of the eastern capital Luoyang at any time.

Then, on the Shihezi line, Wagang will start a war with Liu Changgong, the general of the Sui Ting Hu Ben from the eastern capital Luoyang, and the 25,000 Sui army commanded by the Guanglu Shaoqing Fang Gu...

The sudden power of the troops of Wagang became even stronger, which also attracted the attention of the Sui Ting and even the anti-Sui tyrants in the world and the major local forces that were ready to move. At this time, the troops seemed to be hiding in a remote corner where others could not reach. In fact, Xu Shiye, who was on the vast land of Hebei, had already formed a basic strategic plan for the next step to go north...

Xu Shiye led his troops to Handan, and after meeting with Ling Jing, Xiong Kuohai, Qiu Xiaogang, Wang Deren and others who were temporarily stationed in Handan, the first thing they arranged was to appoint Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui as the heads of the rear government affairs, military affairs, grain and fodder supply, and military supplies, respectively, and were respectively appointed as the left and right chiefs of the Wei County General Administration Office.

As for the title of Wei County General Manager, Xu Shiye naturally submitted to his brother Xu Shiji, the chief general manager of Hebei Road in Wagang, before that: he would serve as the position himself. In this way, Xu Shiye was actually the chief manager of Ji County, Changping (nominally Sima Chang'an), and the chief manager of the three counties of Wei County. Zhang Liang of Ji County and Liu Heita of Changping both temporarily took over the position of chief manager as deputy chief manager.

Then, Xu Shiye appointed Li Jing as the deputy general manager of Wei County, who led the army northward military affairs and was responsible for the implementation of the overall strategy of going northward.

After leaving all the matters behind Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, Xu Shiye cooperated with Li Jing to immediately summon the heads of each battalion, and Ling Jing, who is currently the chief of the General Administration of Ji County, began to formulate the specific strategies and tactics to be adopted for going north. In this era of extremely low communication and communication methods, we must be based on strange, quick, and sudden, and based on "not fighting unprepared battles"; this is the battle philosophy that Xu Shiye, who seems very young and mature, has always adhered to.

Before this, while staying in Wei County, Xu Shiye also considered taking Yang Ji and his daughter from Ji County, and had a deep affection with his husband. At that time, Li Jing, the only one who brought his wife to like each other, discussed: he wanted Li Jing to bring his wife, Hongfu girl Zhang Chuchen.

But Li Jing believes (in fact, Xu Shiye also had this idea, and it was proposed only because he could not ignore the "human feelings and worldly ways" for the sake of great cause):

After all, Ji County is located on the north bank of the Yellow River. If the Sui Tingzhong of Hulao is in the future, it can easily reach Ji County by passing through the waterway of Yongji Canal (Yongji Canal is the canal on the north bank of the Yellow River, and from Luoyang can directly reach Yuyang County in the north). If the generals of Hulao and the tens of thousands of strong Sui Ting troops under his command can undoubtedly increase the current military strength by nearly double. Therefore, it is better for Yang Ji and his daughter to stay in Ji County to facilitate contact with Hulao Generals.

At the same time, his wife, Hongfu girl Zhang Chuchen, once wrote to me: Hongfu girl Zhang Chuchen, has accepted the girl Feier as her adopted daughter. At this moment, it is the time when the mother and daughter are in love with each other, so they are definitely unwilling to leave Jijun separately; there is no need to accept it for the time being.

When he heard that Li Jing and his wife were still communicating in private, Xu Shiye couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Li Jing, who is already an "old husband and wife", and the orphan girl Zhang Chuchen, are really not the ordinary "hard couple's love"!

However, although the young Xu Shiye was curious, he always wanted to ask Li Jing that his sworn brother Zhang Zhongjian, who was in the unofficial history, did not exist. However, considering that the "Three Heroes of Fengchen" were just a legend in the unofficial history of later generations, just that "there was not a person who was born twenty years ago, Zhang Zhongjian, who was photographed by Li Shimin, had no choice but to go abroad to establish a country alone." It was not enough to believe that the "Three Heroes of Fengchen" was a false novel, so Xu Shiye had to forcibly suppress the curiosity.

The so-called facts are better than words. Not only is Li Mi now suspicious because of Xu Shiye's complete plan, but Li Jing now also completely believes that "the Hulao people will come to vote soon." In fact, Xu Shiye is not very sure about this matter; he just wants to take a gamble because of Yang Ji's appearance, but does not want to lose a great opportunity that may exist.
