As the place where the military food and grass stocks are stored in Wagang and the strategy of westward advance of Wagang, Li Yang is urgently transporting grain and fodder to the Wagang General Village, and is rushing to carry out the recruitment of new soldiers and pre-war preparations. At that time, the Wagang General Village, when Xu Shiye left the general village with military order, carried out multiple attacks under the coordinated dispatch of the head of the general village Zhai Rang and the chief military advisor Li Mi, had launched a comprehensive military operation and launched a comprehensive attack on the Suiting County and counties around the Wagang General Village:

First, Zhai Rang, the head of the general village, took action personally and led thousands of elite troops to conquer Weicheng and Dongjun in one fell swoop, killing the prefect of Dongjun; and clearing the Sui Ting forces on the southwest wing of Wagang.

Secondly, general Shan Xiongxin led his army northward, conquered Junxian, Tangyin, Neihuang and other counties, and cleared all the obstacles to the north wing to implement the westward advance strategy.

Again, the army led by the chief military advisor Li Mi carried out a roundabout attack on the eastern wing and southern wing of the Wagang General Village, conquered Puyang continuously, and the soldiers of Fan County arrived in Baitu, completely revoking the harassment from the Sui Ting forces from the eastern wing and the southern wing.

At this point, in less than a month, the Wagang General Village suddenly launched a comprehensive offensive, winning consecutive battles and the reputation was greatly shocked. The civilians responded wherever the army passed, and the followers were like ants. The troops had expanded to nearly 100,000 people, and the situation was very good. According to the optimistic view of the upper-level head of the Wagang General Village, the great opportunity for the implementation of the westward strategy has also come.

In view of this, the Wagang General Village took General Shan Xiongxin as the vanguard, and the head of the general Zhai Rang and chief military advisor Li Mi personally led the main force of the army. The large-scale westward strategy with the eastern capital Luoyang as the ultimate strategic purpose was officially implemented; now the front of the army has pointed directly at Xingyang, and the pioneer Shan Xiongxin has already dispatched troops under Jindi Pass, the gateway northeast of Xingyang...

Therefore, the Wagang General Village urged Li Yang to cooperate with the westward strategy of the general village and to support the military order documents that were carried out west along the north bank of the Yellow River, and were now urgently sent to Li Yang and presented to the case of Xu Shiji, the general manager of Wagang Li Yang.

In fact, when Xu Shiye stole the empty space to visit his brother Xu Shiji's residence and the two brothers discussed the current situation of Wagang that was extremely optimistic, the two brothers had extremely similar views, that is:

Opportunities must not be missed, and no more mistakes will come. Taking advantage of this chaotic era, it is imperative to expand Wagang's large-scale power. However, the most critical point is the direction of power expansion in Wagang. The current Wagang is actually just starting out and is in a stage of upward turbulence. Moreover, the development area of ​​Wagang is still in the middle abdomen of the Central Plains, and there is no excellent natural geographical conditions that can be used as a support.

Therefore, the best solution at present is to develop and extend the Sui Ting where the power is weak, and continue to expand the control area outward, gradually form a heavy strategic buffer and accumulate enough foundation. Only after a large strategic control area is formed can a strong battle with Sui Ting be fought in a frontal manner.

However, at present, Wagang is eager to attack the important town controlled by Sui Ting, Dayi, which is tantamount to "killing chickens and getting eggs". Too much is too late, and it is too early to launch a strong frontal confrontation with Sui Ting. In fact, it is to use the hard-earned good situation of Wagang to gamble.

The Central Plains is vast and vast. The power of Sui Ting is still very strong. Compared with Sui Ting, Wagang, which is extremely shallow in its foundation, can hardly bear the long-term stalemate that has been delayed for too long. Sui Ting's temporary failure can be adjusted and mobilized to make a comeback. If there is an unexpected accident, it will definitely fall into a state of doom...

But now, since the two brothers are not at the center of decision-making in Wagang, although Xu Shiji, the chief general of Wagang, can make his own suggestions and will receive certain attention, he is unwilling to talk too much for his personal reasons. Therefore, the two brothers can only look at each other, sighing and showing helpless expressions on their faces.

Given the short-sightedness of the decision-making center of Wagang General Village, Xu Shiji, as the elder brother and the controller of Li Yang, a major town under Wagang, also appreciates the correctness of his younger brother Xu Shiye's suggestion that "the two brothers should respect the orders of the general village on the surface, but secretly develop their own power" and attaches more importance to the importance of Xu Shiye's upcoming army to advance westward. In terms of Xu Shiji's personality, he can barely accept it for marriage; but he has already understood the direction of the general trend, but the two brothers have to accompany others to burn together, which is something he cannot accept at all.

Therefore, Xu Shiji also told Xu Shiye:

In addition to taking away the three thousand soldiers of the Tiger-Wing Camp under his command, Xu Shiye could also select 5,000 of the eight thousand new recruits that had been recruited. In this way, the military force that was about to follow Xu Shiye to advance westward reached 8,000.

At the same time, Xu Shiji had promised to allocate another 200 war horses to Xu Shiye that he had promised to send to Xu Shiye's Tiger Wing Camp in the future.

In addition, after Xu Shiye selected the remaining 3,000 new recruits, Xu Shiji also told Xu Shiye to temporarily hand over to Longxiang Camp for management. Xu Shiye's supply of food, fodder, baggage, etc. will also be escorted by Longxiang Camp.

Now, Xu Shiye already knows that the head general of Longxiang Camp, who is thin and looks like a Confucian general, is named Zhang Liang.

Xu Shiye has already had a certain understanding of Zhang Liang, who is not well-known in history and is actually better than all the former generals of Wagang in his original history. In fact, Xu Shiye has long had a certain understanding in his heart, and given Zhang Liang's ability, it has inevitably aroused Xu Shiye's vigilance towards him...

Speaking of Zhang Liang's status in original history, Li Tang was better than all the original Wagang generals. In fact, it is easy to verify. You can see clearly from the ranking of the "Twenty-Four Generals of Lingyan Pavilion": Zhang Liang was awarded the title of Duke of Yun and ranked 16th in Lingyan Pavilion.

Among the people who defected to Li Tang in Wagang, Zhang Liang ranked fourth after Wei Zheng, the Duke of Zheng who dared to be arrogant and surrender to Li Shimin. The other generals who defected to Li Tang, Cheng Zhijie, the Duke of Lu, was ranked nineteenth, the Duke of British Xu Shiji, and the Duke of Hu, Qin Qiong, the Duke of Hu, ranked twenty-fourth.

The biggest feature of Zhang Liang is that he seems to have the ability of a "psychological counselor for modern people", and is extremely good at peeping into other people's psychological states and evaluating others' inner thoughts. The original history of Hou Junji was reminded by Zhang Liang that Li Shimin prevented him in advance, and Hou Junji's rebellion was quickly miscarried.
