I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 158
"My lord, how should we deal with Cao Cao?" Lu Bu asked impatiently.

"Hold Cao Cao, fight far and close!" Li Shimin blurted out: "Cao Cao occupies Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Yuzhou, and he has many enemies. Even if there is no enemy, I will help him find an enemy. Wait for our army to take Youzhou smoothly. Zhou and Jizhou, Cao Cao will be surrounded by our army on all sides, and the elimination of Cao Cao is just around the corner."

"All generals listen to the order!" Li Shimin immediately issued a military order after making a decision.

"The end is here!"

"Let General Zhang Liao be the commander-in-chief of the North Route Army, Xi Zhicai be the general of the military division, and Yan Xingxing be the vanguard general to lead the Shenwu Army, Tiger and Leopard Army, and Dragon and Tiger Cavalry to Yanmen Pass, and together control the Yanmen Pass defenders, wait for the opportunity to seize Youzhou, Give Zhang Liao and Linji the discretionary power to make decisions on his own, without having to report them.”

"Promise! I will swear to serve my lord to the death!" Zhang Liao, Yan Xing and others gladly accepted the order.

With the support of Li Shimin, Yan Xing, with the original Xiaoqi as the backbone, gathered the old troops of Han Sui who had surrendered, and formed more than 1 cavalry. Li Shimin's intention was to let him deal with Gongsun Zan's white horse followers.

"Let Guan Yu be the commander-in-chief of the Central Route Army, Tian Feng be the general of the military division, and Zhang He be the vanguard general. You can decide on your own, and you don’t have to report it.”

"Promise! The last general takes orders!" Because Guan Yu is still in Huguan, it is only necessary for Zhang He to lead the army to Huguan.

"I personally led the Central Route. Jia Xu was the general of the army, and Lu Bu and Zhao Yun were the vanguard generals. They led the Shence Army, Huben Army, Shenwu Army, and Modao Camp to Luoyang, Hulao Pass, and Xingyang to fight against Cao Cao. Zhao Yun went north Guard Hanoi to prevent Cao Cao from attacking Hanoi and attack Luoyang from the north.

"No! The last general will take the order." Lu Bu and others quickly accepted the military order.

"Yuan Zhi, Mr. Gongtai, I will leave Chang'an to you. In addition, Dian Wei and Gao Shun will stay behind to lead the Chang'an garrison and trap the camp to guard the pass. There must be no mistake!" Li Shimin said coldly: "But there is a change. , you can cut first and play later!"

"No! Follow the general's order." Everyone also felt the heavy responsibility, so they couldn't help but be very careful.

"The whole army will act immediately, deploy it in place before spring comes, and wait for my unified order. Remember everyone, everything is going according to plan." Li Shimin emphasized again.

In order to deceive people, especially the [-] troops of Zhang Liao's North Route Army, Li Shimin specially formulated a careful marching route for them. Go straight to Yanmen County.In this way, the densely populated hinterland of Bingzhou was completely avoided.

…………

Right now, although Li Shimin has grasped the enemy's intentions, he did not attack Huangfusong in order not to startle the enemy, so the exact time of the enemy's attack is still unknown.

However, the autumn harvest is over now, and winter is about to enter. The weather in the north is cold, and it is very inconvenient to march and fight.

According to the news that Jushou sent back from Yuan Shaona, it also confirmed Li Shimin's judgment. The latest news is that Yuan Shao agreed to Huangfusong, and started to do it after the emperor returned to Luoyang.

Therefore, at this time Li Shimin still had some time to secretly mobilize troops to anticipate the enemy first.Once your own troops are deployed, what fear is there to attack no matter how large the army is?
Moreover, I can act preemptively, catch them by surprise, and catch them by surprise.

…………

In Wen County, Hanoi County, the world-famous Sima family has been located here for generations. The Sima family has a prominent family background and is an extremely famous family in the Han Dynasty.

A group of uninvited guests knocked on the door of Sima's house. Not long after the visitor handed over a door sticker, Sima Fang, the current head of Sima's house, went out to greet him.

"I don't know that Yang Sikong is coming to the humble house. I am sorry to welcome you from far away." Sima Fang said very respectfully: "Please come in quickly, Zhong Da will serve tea soon."

The original person was Yang Biao, Sikong of the current dynasty. Yang Biao was born in the Hongnong Yang family, and he was also a wealthy family with a prominent family background.

Sima Fang was also very surprised, he didn't know why this person came to the door, although the two families were familiar with each other, they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

After the two guests and host were seated, Yang Biao said straight to the point: "Jiang Gong, I have a very confidential matter to discuss with you." After finishing speaking, he looked at Sima Fang's son.

Seeing that Yang Biao paid so much attention to him, Sima Fang raised his hand to signal Sima Yi to go out too.Somewhat puzzled, he asked: "Yang Sikong, why do you need to be so cautious?"

Yang Biao mysteriously took out a piece of brocade from his bosom, handed it to Sima Fang, looked around sideways, and said in a low voice, "Jiang Gong, this is the belt edict issued by His Majesty, let us join hands , get rid of Li Shimin, and save the country from peril."

"What? Your Majesty actually issued another imperial edict to eradicate Li Shimin? But we can't help if we don't have military power."

Sima Fang was very shocked. When Dong Zhuo was wiped out before, the emperor had already issued a clothes belt edict, which indirectly led to the separatism of the heroes and chaos in the world. Why did it happen again now.

"Oh, I said Brother Jiangong, of course I know that you have no military power, and I don't have military power. I might as well tell you now that General Huangfusong has come forward to contact all the princes in the world, and Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others have already agreed. Yes. My mission is to contact a powerful family like the Sima family, and when the time comes, we will be able to eradicate Li Shimin completely." Yang Biao said excitedly.

Although Sima Fang was shocked, he also understood Yang Biao's intention at this time.To put it bluntly, Huangfusong contacted the princes from all walks of life, formed an alliance, and sent troops to crusade.

Yang Biao contacted aristocratic families all over the world. These people have the right to speak, and their disciples and old officials are all over the world.Once Yang Biao is allowed to connect these aristocratic families, it will greatly damage Li Shimin's ruling foundation in Sili, Guannei and other places.

In the Han Dynasty, knowledge was in the hands of big families like the Sima family and the Yang family, and the officialdom still practiced the investigation system. Naturally, most officials came from or were inextricably linked to the family.

Once these people completely oppose Li Shimin, it will be a very heavy blow to him.

At this moment, Sima Fang was a little hesitant. He didn't know whether he should dare to agree to Yang Biao. After all, it seemed that Li Shimin's soldiers had more generals and stronger strength, so it would be unwise to fight him as an enemy.

But if you don't participate, you will definitely have a bad relationship with them, and you will be squeezed out of the officialdom by these aristocratic families, and the disadvantages will be even greater.For a while, Sima Fang didn't know how to make a decision.

He could only say apologetically: "Yang Sikong's matter is of great importance, can you allow me to think about it, there are some elders in the family, I have to ask for instructions, please forgive me."
