Tang Dynasty: Starting from Kou Zhong, the heavens rise!

"Poyang alone has a young commander's army of 5000 men, fully equipped with soldiers and armor."

"After Liu Ziyi was defeated in one battle, the four counties of Yuzhang no longer had unrivaled troops, and Nankang was also within his grasp."

"Jian'an is located between Jiangdong, Jiangzuo and Lingnan. There is only one Shuilong Gang."

"A few days ago, the leader of the Song Dynasty, Tian Dao Song Que, wrote to me. If we form an alliance, Jian'an County will be a gift."

"So, with ten counties and two million people in hand, Brother Hou thinks he has a chance to take over the destiny?"

Boom!

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Hou Xibai couldn't help but feel excited by Kou Zhong's description. He nodded and praised: "Of course there is!"

"In the past, there was a rule in Duoqing Villa. Anyone who could outdo Brother Hou could make a request."

"Today, I will invite Brother Hou to the Ba Mansion to offer wine to the military commander. He is second only to me and Young Master Ling in the army."

"What do you think, Brother Hou?"

Speaking of this, Kou Zhong looked at Hou Xibai with burning eyes.

This is the most important purpose of his coming here today.

"I am willing to follow the young marshal and rule the world!"

Upon hearing this, Hou Xibai saluted without thinking.

Regardless of the two paths of good and evil, which sect would not want to walk side by side with Qianlong and reach the pinnacle of life.

The Military Advisor Sacrifice was established by Cao Cao at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty for his advisers. He had the post of military counselor and leader. The most famous one is the ghost genius Guo Jia. Today, Kou Zhong uses this military post to recruit Hou Xibai. How can he refuse? Such an important task?

"Hahaha!"

"I have the help of a passionate young master, just like King Wen and Jiang Ziya."

Kou Zhong laughed loudly and stepped forward to help Hou Xibai up, acting like a monarch and his ministers.

Wanwan sitting next to her was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that on the way to save her, Kou Zhong would subdue the passionate young master Hou Xibai. He was the only descendant of the Huajian sect, the leader of one of the six paths of the two sects of the Demon Sect, and a mid-term master. Master, was he just surrendered by Kou Zhong's domineering spirit?

For a moment, Wanwan felt that the world had changed too much, and Kou Zhong became increasingly invisible to her, as if she was filled with mystery.

"Ta Ta..."

At this moment, a Jinyi Tiqi hurriedly came in and reported: "Young Marshal, urgent report from Xingyang."

"Oh?"

Kou Zhong took the letter and looked at it carefully, his brows furrowed.

Hou Xibai on the side couldn't help but ask: "Young Marshal, is there something important?"

"Ah."

Kou Zhong nodded slightly and explained: "The Jinyi Guards from Xingyang are here to report."

"Li Xiuning, the Li boss, appeared in Xingyang and wanted to meet with the Wagang Army and persuade Zhai Rang to send troops to support Du Fuwei."

In October of the 11th year of Daye, Donghai Li Zitong defected to Du Fuwei, but later betrayed him, causing heavy losses to Du Fuwei's troops. He had no choice but to go south to Liuhe County, using it as a base, and restored his troops to tens of thousands.

In July of the 12th year of Daye, because Yang Guang visited Jiangdu, the Sui army Huyalang general Gongsun Shangzhe led his troops to attack Du Fuwei and was defeated.

At present, the Sui army general Chen Ling was leading his men to continue the campaign against Du Fuwei, and Du Fuwei's troops suffered successive defeats.

"Young Master!"

"Zhai Rang is headstrong and has a short-sighted vision. It is impossible for him to send troops to support Du Fuwei."

"On the other hand, Li Mi's rise in Wagang's army is Zhai Rang's biggest problem."

"But Li Clan has never had any friendship with Du Fuwei, so why would he interfere in Jianghuai's affairs at this time?"

From a few words, Hou Xibai deduced and expressed his thoughts.

"good."

Glancing at him, Kou Zhong praised: "The Wagang Army is about to split."

"Li Xiuning naturally cannot go south to support Du Fuwei. She just wants the Wagang Army to intervene and interrupt our army's purpose of going north to Jianghuai."

"It's just that Li Xiuning overestimated himself and underestimated me."

"Li Clan wants to be in charge of Guanzhong, but don't I want to?"

"This commander established a cavalry force in Jingling County, went north to Nanyang, followed the old Shangluo route, entered Guanzhong, and captured Chang'an."

"I want to see whether Li Clan is one foot taller, or this handsome devil is one foot taller."

Kou Zhong's confident voice sounded throughout the lobby, making people awe-inspiring, and Wanwan's beautiful eyes were filled with brilliance.

The passionate young master Hou Xibai even clapped his hands and applauded: "Young Commander, this plan is a great kindness!"

Everyone knows that the eight hundred miles of fertile fields in Guanzhong are the foundation of the king's hegemony. If they go out, they will compete in the Central Plains and dominate the world. Moreover, there is a natural barrier in Hangu Pass, which separates the two capitals.

People from the Central Plains have always taken the Hangu Pass to enter Guanzhong. Taking the big river as the criterion, Hangu Pass is east of Hangu Pass, and Hedong County and Hongnong County are divided into the south and north.

Li Clan lives in Jinyang, Taiyuan County. If he wants to enter Guanzhong and seize Hedong and Hongnong counties, knocking at Hangu Pass is the best choice.

But there is not only one important way to enter Guanzhong. In history, there is another way, which is the one taken by Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Pass through Nanyang, take Shangluo, knock Wuguan, then enter Lantian and reach Guanzhong.

Although this road into the pass is not wider than the one at Hangu Pass, it is sparsely populated and hidden.

Moreover, for Shaoshuai's army, they can even move on land and water in parallel, with the navy passing through Luoshui to Shangluo, and the cavalry passing through Nanyang to Wuguan, a two-pronged attack.

"Brother Hou!"

"This is the Black Bird Order. With this order, you can command Jingling's [-]-strong army."

"There are only two forces in Jingling, one is Pegasus Ranch, and the other is Domination Villa."

"Fang Zetao, the owner of Domination Villa, calls himself the General Manager of Jingling. He has four generals and more than ten thousand soldiers under his command."

"You go to Jingling, destroy the Domination Villa, and control the entire county. The Pegasus Ranch will not be moved for the time being. We will discuss it when I come back."

"In addition, there is a man named Xu Xingzhi in Domination Villa, who must be recruited into the army."

Immediately, Kou Zhong took out a simple token from his arms and threw it to Hou Xibai.

"Yes!"

Hou Xibai's heart was filled with excitement and he immediately accepted the order.

When he first joined the army, he was able to control 5000 people. Kou Zhong's behavior was so domineering that he directly won Hou Xibai's favor and respect.

"You can recuperate here for a while, or..."

"I will go with you to Xingyang."

Before Kou Zhong could finish speaking, Wanwan blocked his mouth with one sentence.

"Uh, good."

Kou Zhong was stunned for a moment, then nodded in response.

In his impression, Wanwan was only weak due to lack of zhenqi. Now that he was nourished by his zhenqi, she had recovered more than half of her strength. At least there was no big problem in traveling, so he simply agreed.

On the contrary, Hou Xibai on the side looked at Wanwan and Kou Zhong getting along with a smile in his eyes.

..........

In October of the 12th year of Daye, Xingyang County.

Under the leadership of Zhai Rang, the Wagang Army successively captured Jindi Pass and most of the county towns in the county, and advanced towards Xingyang City with great momentum.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ordered Zhang Xutuo to guard Xingyang and led more than [-] elite Sui troops to attack Zhai Rang. Zhai Rang wanted to retreat, but under Li Mi's persuasion, he united his troops to confront him. The two sides fought dozens of times, with no distinction between superior and inferior. , showing a confrontational situation.

Outside Xingyang City, the Wagang Army's ten-mile company camp was vast and boundless.

"Pushan County Duke Li Mi leads the troops well, is brave and good at fighting, and he truly deserves his reputation."

"In a few months, a scattered rebel army was integrated into a powerful army, which defeated the Sui army one after another."

"If this continues, the Wagang Army is very likely to seize the entire Xingyang County and Xingluocang, thus becoming the most powerful force in the Central Plains..."

Looking around, Li Xiuning looked at the neat and orderly Wagang army, and gleams appeared in his beautiful eyes one after another.

"Xiu Ning."

"We have already met Zhai Rang. Li Mi is just the second in command, so what if he agrees to send troops?"

Li Shentong asked with some confusion.

Nowadays, Zhai Rang is still in charge of the Wagang Army, and it is known all over the world that Zhai Rang single-handedly created the name of the First Rebel Army.

There are countless heroes in Wagang's army, and none of them came for Zhai Rang's name.

Zhai Rang was unwilling to send troops to rescue Du Fuwei, so what if Li Mi agreed?

However, Li Xiuning just shook his head and said meaningfully: "Uncle doesn't know something."

"Although Li Mi is only a latecomer, as the Wagang Army gradually grows, his prestige has faintly surpassed Zhai Rang's."

"Moreover, Xu Shiji and his wife, Shan Xiongxin, Wang Bodang, Wei Zheng and others all support Li Mi, and a dramatic change in the Wagang Army is ahead of us."

"Even if we can't persuade Li Mi to send troops, making friends with Li Mi will be beneficial to the future development of our Li family."

"Miss Li, please come this way!"

Just as Li Xiuning was speaking, a deputy general came forward and invited him.

Li Xiuning followed him and entered a grand tent, inside which sat an elegant middle-aged man.

"Li Xiuning has met the second master!"

Immediately, Li Xiuning stepped forward and saluted.

"Brother Shude and I have known each other since we were young, and we call you Xiuning in an exaggerated way."

"I already know your purpose of coming. It's just a matter decided by the master. I can't object to it."

"Everyone who has come from afar, please take a seat, please!"

Li Mi raised his wine glass with a gentle expression and paid tribute to the man in the clan.

"Please!"

Li Xiuning frowned slightly, sat down on the right side, drank a glass in return, and said: "The second head of the family is from Guanlong, so he has something to do with me, the Li clan."

"Now that all the heroes in the world have risen together, the Hunjun has settled in Jiangdu with the intention of clearing obstacles. Therefore, Du Fuwei's danger comes from the Xiaoguo Army."

"The Jianghuai River is rich, and it is between the Central Plains and Jiangnan. Without the buffer of the Jianghuai River, the Central Plains will face the southern military front."

"The Jiangzuo Shaoshuai Army and the Xiangchu Liang Army are eyeing it, and even more ambitious are Shen Faxing of Piling County and Liu Yuanjin of Wu County."

"Once Du Fuwei is defeated, and the Sui army defeats Fu Gongyou again, Jianghuai will be unstoppable to the people of Jiangnan."

"At that time, there will be Sui troops in front of the Wagang Army and pursuers behind them. How can they develop?"

"Furthermore, the Wagang Army is the foundation that the second master won back. How can the great cause go wrong because of others' ignorance."

"This matter..."

Li Mi's face moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

However, suddenly there was a cry of killing outside the tent.

"kill!"

"Destroy Li Clan's cavalry!"

"Brothers, come on!"

A large number of Wagang soldiers appeared out of nowhere and swarmed around Li Xiuning's escort.

The 5.4 escorting Li Xiuning this time was none other than Xuan Jia Jingqi. There were 500 of them, and they mounted their horses and galloped forward, invincible.

But they faced thousands of Wagang soldiers. They were unable to defeat the four-handed soldiers with two fists. They were all set on fire and suffered heavy losses.

"What does the second master mean?"

Seeing this, Li Xiuning's pretty face suddenly changed color, and she stood up to question Li Mi.

Boom! ! !

Li Shentong beside her instantly burst into aura.
