The million-level war in the south has also spread to the north. Soon detailed news was spread to the tables of all parties.
It was learned that the Yuwen clan only dispatched about 80,000 troops and defeated Lin Shihong and his coalition forces of more than 300,000.
This really shocked the princes in the north, and at the same time put them under great pressure.
They all have their own channels to learn all kinds of information.
After the war in the south, almost no one could stop the expansion of the Yuwen Clan. The Song Clan in Lingnan seemed to have chosen silence. The specific reason is unknown.
However, the Song Clan's silence obviously gave up the fight with the Yuwen Clan, so the south was almost falling into the hands of the Yuwen Clan.
Even if the development of the south is not as good as that of the north, I am afraid that the entire south has a population of less than ten million, a vast territory, sparsely populated areas, and a lack of war horses, so there are many shortcomings.
However, the Yuwen Clan has an advantage that the northern princes do not have, that is, the Yuwen Clan in the south is about to become a well-deserved overlord, and the Yuwen Clan can develop as much as it wants.
The development of the north has indeed surpassed that of the south, and its population potential is greater than that of the south. The north may be smaller than the south, but its population is twice that of the north.
However, there are many princes in the north and they cannot unify the north. They have no advantage against the Yuwen clan who dominates the south.
Just like this, the princes in the north are now in the midst of crazy expansion, and the battle between the two sides has become more and more intense.
They knew that if they waited a little longer, the Yuwen Clan would become even stronger. They could only expand desperately, hoping that they would have enough strength to fight against the Yuwen Clan before their northern expedition.
And every prince thinks like this. The territory is so big. If you want to expand, and I want to expand, it will naturally depend on who is stronger.
After the news came from the battle in the south, Li Mi of Wagang immediately ordered that he would not retreat until Luokou was captured.
In the future Northern Expedition of the Yuwen Clan, the best route is to first capture Xuzhou and other places, and then whether it is attacking Luokou, Wagang, or directly attacking Dou Jiande in Hebei, it will be very easy.
And even if their attack fails, they can still retreat calmly. Once he fails, there will be no retreat.
So he wanted to capture Luokou, capture Luoyang, and then attack Chang'an, so that he could have a detour.
Although Li Mi is arrogant, he also knows that the strength of Yuwen Clan is at least stronger than Wagang.
Both the top masters and the military's combat power are much stronger than Wagang.
He was born into a famous family, and Yuwen clan was one of the clan clan, and he was not weaker than him at all.
In Wagang Village, Li Mi received news that Lin Shihong's failure was due to the Yin Kui Sect. At the critical moment, the Yin Kui Sect actually gave up on Lin Shihong.
As soon as his mind turned around, he already understood that it was very likely that the Yin Kui Sect decided to keep the treasure in the Yuwen Clan.
Once these two forces unite, it will be even more terrifying.
"Luoyan, I want you to personally convince Zhu Can to join forces with me to attack Wang Shichong. Afterwards, we will carve up the Guanzhong area together."
"At the same time, I also hope that you can contact An Long of Tianlian Sect."
"Ming Gong!" Shen Luoyan looked at Li Mi with some confusion in his eyes. Ming Gong was suddenly so anxious.
He actually wanted to join forces with Zhu Can.
You must know that Zhu Can, the man-eating demon, has a bad reputation. Once Ming Gong joins forces with Zhu Can, it will be a huge blow to Ming Gong's reputation, both among scholars and among the people.
They Wagang want to conquer the world, and their reputation is also very important.
Previously, Minggong and Zhai Rang fought for Wagang, and their reputation was actually lost.
"Hey! The Yuwen Clan is developing too fast, and the Yinkui Clan may also join the Yuwen Clan. With the support of the Yinkui Clan, the Yuwen Clan will soon be able to dominate the south."
"At that time, we still can't capture Wang Shichong and attack Chang'an. How can we resist the Yuwen Clan?"
Li Mi shook his head. He was not completely dizzy yet and was very sober. Naturally, he knew that the consequences of joining Zhu Can would be very bad.
But there is no way, now Wagang Village must move forward.
Pei Renji in Luokou really consumed too much of their time in Wagang.
"this....."
When Shen Luoyan heard this, she was also stumped. She was very smart and had always been Li Mi's military advisor. It can be said that she had a great contribution to Wagang's success and Li Mi's ability to capture Zhai Rang.
But right now, things are really going against them.
If they don't take Luoyang, then their Wagang side will not have an advantage in geographical location. Once a foreign enemy attacks, they can drive straight to it.
The Yuwen Clan's army is famous all over the world for its elite. Even she is not sure that Wagang is the opponent of the Yuwen Clan's army.
To the east of Wagang are Xuzhou and other places. Xuzhou has been the place of the Four Wars since ancient times and must be fought over by military strategists. However, without a good base camp, fighting for Xuzhou is not a good choice.
Luoyang is surrounded by all the great passes in the world. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo occupied the middle of the pass. The princes in the east of the pass and the millions of troops could not pose much of a threat to him. In the end, he gave up Luoyang on his own.
Such geography is the place for their development in Wagang.
At this time, Shen Luoyan also understood the anxiety in Li Mi's heart.
So he nodded.
"Don't worry, Ming Gong, I will convince Zhu Can. As for Anlong, I can only do my best."
They had been in contact before Anlong, but after the battle at Jingnian Temple, Anlong also disappeared.
Ming Gong obviously wanted to make friends with Shi Zhixuan through Anlong, a master of the Yinkui sect. It was best to let the top master of the Demon Sect deal with him.
But it's not that easy.
However, for the sake of Ming Gong, Shen Luoyan secretly decided to complete it even if he had to fight hard.
Shen Luoyan left, but Wagang did not stop the attack. A group of fierce generals continued to attack Luokou day and night.
Luokou, which had no reinforcements, was finally defeated by Wagang's continuous all-night attack for six days and six nights.
As soon as Luokou was broken, Luoyang was shocked.
Because Luoyang is about to face the military peak of Wagang.
"boom!"
"waste!"
Wang Shichong of Luoyang City was furious when he heard that Luokou was broken and it was Pei Renji who gave up Luokou on his own initiative.
However, some officials below who were originally dissatisfied with Wang Shichong were very happy to see Wang Shichong's anger.
When Luokou was broken, Wagang marched straight ahead. Someone had warned him before, hoping that Wang Shichong would send troops to strengthen the defense of Luokou.
It's a pity that Wang Shichong directly refused because of Pei Renji.
He wanted to use Pei Renji's power to consume Wagang and make both sides lose.
Unexpectedly, Pei Renji finally quit and walked away.
At this time, Wang Shichong felt uncomfortable, although there were still several checkpoints behind Luokou that were under the control of the imperial court.
But compared to the majestic checkpoint in Luokou, those ones are still a bit crude.
"It's a pity. If you give me another month, I can take Chang'an."
Of course Wang Shichong knew the importance of Luokou, but Pei Renji was there, and Pei Renji had tens of thousands of troops.
A majestic pass like Luokou is enough to withstand Wagang's offensive.
Don't you see, Wagang has been attacking Luokou for more than a year, but he has been unable to break through.
So he thought of using Pei Renji to consume Wagang's power, while he himself went to attack Chang'an and take Chang'an City into his hands.
At that time, when Pei Renji and Wagang are almost exhausted, he will send troops to garrison, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
But he didn't expect that Wagang would break through Luokou so quickly.
He knew that Pei Renji must have let the situation slip, which was why he was so angry.
