I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 119 Luoyang Raiders
Xu Rong sent his confidant, Xu Yao, who is also his clan relative, to climb up the city wall from the south gate under the cover of night and sneak into Mei County with a secret letter.

Although Mei County was well-defended, but one hundred secrets were sparse, and the target of one person's actions was very small, so Xu Yao sneaked into Mei County very smoothly.

Xu Yao successfully sneaked into Xu Xiao's camp. The two of them knew each other before, so Xu Xiao immediately understood Xu Yao's purpose.

In fact, Xu Xiao already knew that Xu Rong had taken refuge in Li Shimin, and he actually had the same thoughts, but this person was thoughtful, and he knew the significance of Mei County to the Bingzhou Army.

At the same time, he also knew that Mei County would not be able to defend it no matter what, so he patiently waited for an opportunity, an opportunity to make great contributions.

In the end, he really waited for it.

"How is General Xu in the Bingzhou Army? Is he also used in the same way?" Xu Xiao asked with some expectation.

"Brother Xu Xiao, the great general Li Shimin is broad-minded and talented. He has thousands of generals and nearly 40 soldiers. He is the most powerful force in the world. General Xu is also an independent army in the Bingzhou Army. An additional [-] elite soldiers were added, which was highly valued by the general."

"Oh, the general is so forthright and open-minded. He is a person who does great things. It seems that it is a good choice to seek refuge with him." Xu Xiao finally made up his mind to seek refuge with Li Shimin.

In fact, he had no choice but to take refuge in Li Shimin.

Looking around at the empty tent, he beckoned and signaled Xu Yao to come over. Xu Xiao leaned over and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear...

…………

In Luoyang City, Zhang Yang, Yang Feng and others were frowning and thinking hard about countermeasures.

General Lu Bu under Li Shimin's command and Cheng Lian, who was stationed in Hanoi County, had a total of [-] troops and surrounded Luoyang and the surrounding areas.

Although it is currently a siege rather than a fight, the war is inevitable. Obviously, it is imminent, and it is only a matter of time.

Now, even with Yang Feng's 1 remaining troops, the total strength of the troops is less than [-]. Although there are strong cities such as Hangu Pass and Luoyang that can be defended, they are isolated and helpless. If things go on like this, loss is inevitable.

In addition, Lv Bu's reputation is great, and his bravery, ruthlessness, and cruelty have already become famous outside the world. When the generals under his command talk about Lv Bu's expression, no one dares to take the edge.

Seeing that the two generals Zhang Yang and Yang Feng seemed to be very afraid of Li Shimin's army, a young general under Yang Feng's command laughed and said, "Brother, if you die, you will die. Why should you be afraid of Li Shimin and Lu Bu and his ilk."

Zhang Yang frowned and looked at the young general who was speaking. It seemed that this person was restrained, heroic, and seemed quite extraordinary.

Yang Feng shouted angrily: "Gongming, don't be presumptuous. There's no room for you, a little general, to talk. Why don't you back down quickly."

It turned out that the person who spoke was Xu Huang and Xu Gongming, Yang Feng's subordinate generals. They followed Yang Feng in battle for many years in the early years. Because of their bravery and resourcefulness, they were highly regarded by Yang Feng.

Zhang Yang was not annoyed, instead he persuaded Yang Fengdao: "General Yang, we are caught in the situation, it is really difficult to make a decision, it is better to listen to the opinions of outsiders, and listen to the views of this young general."

Yang Feng restrained his anger, and said with some displeasure: "Forget it, since Uncle Zhi has spoken, let's listen to your high opinion." After speaking, he gave Xu Huang an angry look.

Xu Huang didn't care at all, stood up and said: "You two generals, it seems to me that Li Shimin naturally wants to be Dong Zhuo's second. The army has the natural danger of Hangu Pass, and with the high wall of Luoyang city, it will be difficult for the Bingzhou army to take it in a short time, and then we can ask Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao to send troops to help, so that Luoyang will not be easily taken by Li Shimin."

Yang Feng and Zhang Yang listened with gusto, and they seemed to agree very much. Before expressing their attitude, Yang Chou, Zhang Yang's deputy, suddenly stood up and said, "General Xu, even if we use Cao Cao's power to hold Luoyang temporarily according to what you said, but So what can we do if we keep it? The enemy has changed from Li Shimin to Cao Cao, how can he let Luoyang go?"

"Uh, this..." Xu Huang was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing how to refute.

After all, Xu Huang is just a general, and all he can think of is the gains and losses of a city and a place at the tactical level, but for Zhang Yang and Yang Feng, what is the future?This is what the lieutenant is most concerned about.

It was no surprise that Yang Chou suddenly stood up and questioned. In fact, he also represented the aspirations of most of the generals in the army, that is, what is the future of our army?
In this chaotic world, you can either separate one side or fight for the world. The so-called life and death have their own destiny, and wealth depends on the sky. At least everyone has a way to move forward.

Or take refuge in a powerful party early and find a place to stand.In this way, at least everyone can mix up the merits of the dragon, and it is acceptable.

The most taboo thing is to waver in the middle, neither have ambitions, but still want to keep the territory, this is the fastest way to defeat.

But Zhang Yang and Yang Feng obviously didn't want to choose, they seemed to want to try their best to maintain the current situation and keep the prosperous Luoyang.

This obviously made some ambitious forces in the army extremely dissatisfied, and as they secretly fueled the flames, dissatisfaction gradually spread throughout the army.

In the end, after discussions and discussions, there was no conclusion, and everyone broke up unhappy.

…………

Jia Xu came to Tongguan secretly from Chang'an, and he was about to fulfill the mission of persuading Li Shimin he had promised to surrender.

However, Lu Bu on the side didn't seem to be very optimistic about Jia Xu, and instead said with some sarcasm: "Old fox, Zhang Yang is very ambitious, and I'm afraid he won't be willing to be subordinated to others. I'm afraid your trip will be in vain this time."

Jia Xu didn't take it seriously, but chuckled lightly: "Oh, yes. But the lord said that this person has no ambitions, he just wants to protect himself. Naturally, he can't keep Luoyang with his ability, and he knows this. His subordinates also know that if the persuasion fails, I will naturally have other tricks, and I will definitely be able to take Luoyang without any effort."

Jia Xu stroked his beard habitually, looking out of the city with a leisurely expression.

"Hehe, you old guy likes to play tricks. Then I want to see how effortless you are." Lu Bu still looked at him with disdain.

It seems that in his opinion, he disdains these conspiracies and tricks, and if he loses ten times with one force, any plan will come to nothing if he is forced by absolute strength.

In fact, Jia Xu has already made two-handed preparations. He has secretly sent people into Luoyang. Even if the persuasion fails, he will naturally have a way to take Luoyang.

"Fengxian, I still need to invite the general to go out and call the battle to kill the enemy's vigor. With the general's prestige in the Bingzhou army, he can keep suppressing the enemy's morale. When the time comes, I will join forces with the general and take Luoyang. Send the general an immortal merit."

Haha, Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and happily agreed to send troops to meet Zhang Yang.
