After Liu Lan successfully returned to Jin Yong, he immediately sent a messenger to report to Li Mi.

When Li Mi heard that tens of thousands of Sui troops had landed from the sea to attack Pengcheng, he immediately realized that he had fallen into the Sui army's strategy of seducing the east and attacking the west, and immediately summoned a group of generals to discuss the matter.

After a while, Zhu Wen, Pei Renji, Wang Bodang, Bing Yuanzhen, Fang Yanzao, Wang Zuo and other important civil and military officials arrived at Li Mi's commander's tent.

Li Mi recounted the previous events with a gloomy face, then slammed the table and asked sternly: "You are all the pillars of Wagang Village and the ministers of the humerus. The current situation is unfavorable. I wonder what good strategies you have? "

Pei Renji let out a long sigh: "King Wei, the Central Plains is now empty. Liang County, Chenliu County, and Huaiyang County are all empty. Even Jinyong City only has more than 10,000 defenders. Including Liu Lancheng's troops who retreated from Xuzhou, there are only more than 20,000 troops. People. We’d better return as soon as possible, as much territory as we can keep!”

What Pei Renji said was full of pessimism, which made many militants in the tent look angry. Wu Tianxi stood up and said, "Pei Zhuguo, you are a general of our army, how can you say such pessimistic words?"

Pei Zhuguo smiled miserably: "I'm not pessimistic, but the situation at hand is really worrying. In the battle of Pengcheng, Liu Lancheng and Fang La's troops were defeated by the Sui army. There was no more troops in the entire Central Plains that could stop Xue Rengui and Li Jing. They only needed a month. Can occupy the entire Central Plains."

Wang Zuo stood up solemnly and said loudly: "But Pei Zhuguo has never thought that the Central Plains is vast. Except for a few places such as Jinyong City, it is a flat plain and there is no danger to defend it. Although our army still has 200,000 people, In fact, if we want to consolidate the entire Central Plains military strength, we are already stretched thin, not to mention that if we divide our troops and defend them, it will be very easy for the Sui army to defeat them one by one."

Pei Renji shook his head helplessly, "Does Mr. Wang have any other clever ideas?"

"This..." Wang Zuo was speechless for a moment.

Li Mi looked dejectedly at Wang Zuo who suddenly fell silent, sighed secretly, and glanced to both sides, only to see General Zhu Wen sitting on his seat with a calm expression on his face, and the corners of his mouth raised from time to time. Smile.

Seeing Zhu Wen's appearance, Li Mi felt displeased and asked in a low voice: "General Zhu, I wonder what your clever plan is?"

When Zhu Wen heard Li Mi calling his name, he immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said, "King Wei, I do have an idea, but I don't know whether to say it or not."

"tell me the story!"

Zhu Wen said in a deep voice: "Actually, the general's strategy is very simple. Use the entire Central Plains as bait to contain the armies of Li Jing and Xue Rengui, while our army gathers all the main forces to defeat Sui Emperor Yang Gao in front of us first."

As soon as Zhu Wen said this, everyone in the room took a breath of air-conditioning. Bing Yuanzhen was the first to stand up and sneered: "General Zhu is so generous. He used the entire Central Plains as bait. That is what we sacrificed countless brothers to win." How can I give up the territory I came back to?"

Zhu Wen said in a deep voice: "This is the best way at the moment. As long as we can defeat or even capture the Sui Emperor Yang Gao alive, the situation in the Central Plains war will completely change. To say the least, even if the Sui Emperor escaped by chance, his troops would have suffered heavy losses. We simply did not stop and led the army directly into Jingxiang. Jingxiang is Yang Gao's foundation. In order to protect Jingxiang, he will also order Li Jing and Xue Rengui to withdraw their troops and return reinforcements."

Li Mi's eyes lit up when he heard this, he thought for a long time and secretly made a decision, and said loudly: "Everyone, I think that although General Zhu's strategy is a bit risky, it is undoubtedly the best choice for our army to turn defeat into victory. So I decided to adopt General Zhu's strategy. As suggested, mobilize all the elite troops of Wagang to attack tomorrow and defeat Sui Emperor Yang Gao's troops with a thunderous force. I hope you will help me!"

All the generals in the tent clasped their hands and shouted: "I am willing to go through fire and water for the King of Wei, no matter what!"

Li Mi nodded with satisfaction, turned his gaze to Pei Renji aside, and ordered: "Pei Zhuguo, I will give you 20,000 elite soldiers to set out overnight to garrison at Baishiling west of Xiangling to intercept the Sui army soldiers and horses that may come from Xuzhou."

Pei Renji's lips curled up, and he immediately stepped forward to take the command arrow from Li Mi's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, King Wei, if Li Jing and others lead the army, I will try my best to stop them and defeat Yang Gao for King Wei." To gain time."

Li Mi slowly stood up, holding the command in hand, and said in a deep voice: "The rest of the generals will go out to fight with me tomorrow. If this battle is not successful, we will be benevolent!"

All the generals in the tent stood up and shouted loudly: "If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!"

. . . . . . . . . .

While Li Mi was gathering people to discuss matters, a group of Sui generals were also having intense military discussions in Yang Gao's imperial tent.

Yang Gao circulated the letters sent by Li Jing and Xue Rengui to the generals in the tent. After reading the letter, Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I think what General Li and General Xue said is true. According to the current situation, Li Mi will most likely choose to make a desperate move to defeat our army with all his strength, or even seize the opportunity with all his strength." Capture His Majesty. This is his only chance to turn defeat into victory."

Shen Guang snorted coldly: "Our army's 80,000 elite troops are here. Li Mi wants to harm Your Majesty, what a delusion!"

Yang Zaixing also said loudly: "What General Shen said is true. I, the warrior of the Sui Dynasty, will defend your majesty to the death and will never let a thief harm your majesty."

"If you want to hurt Your Majesty, you have to step over my body." Although Yu Wen Chengdu spoke in a low voice, everyone could hear the determination and loyalty in his tone.

Yang Ye stroked his beard and smiled and said: "The loyalty of these generals to the emperor and their patriotism are really a blessing to me in the Sui Dynasty! However, Li Mi has 200,000 troops. We should still plan carefully and not just fight with enthusiasm. I am afraid that many unnecessary things will happen." Loss."

Liu Bowen gently shook his feather fan and said calmly: "What the old general said is absolutely true. One hundred thousand elites led by General Xue Rengui and General Li Yaoshi are coming at night and night. As long as we can hold the camp until they arrive, we can attack from both inside and outside. Annihilate Li Mi's 200,000 elite Wagang troops."

Chang Yuchun said: "Once Li Mi's 200,000 Wagang Army is annihilated by our army, the entire Central Plains will be in the possession of the Sui Dynasty, and it will be within easy reach. So the most important thing for us now is to persist until reinforcements arrive, otherwise All your efforts will be in vain!"

Yang Gao nodded and said: "The 200,000 Wagang Army in Li Mi's hands is considered the most elite unit in the Wagang Army, so the next few days will be the most difficult days for our army, but I will always be with you. Here! Generals, the Sui Dynasty will definitely win!"

Chang Yuchun, Li Siye, Yang Ye and others drew their swords out of their sheaths, pointed to the sky and shouted: "The Great Sui Dynasty will win, the Great Sui Dynasty will win!"
