[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Journey to the Homeland

Chapter 176

Su Ye stayed in the giant kun gang for two days, then set off to return to Luoyang.Before leaving, she made a request to Yun Yuzhen, hoping to take away a person named Chen Laomou under her command.

Chen Laomou is a well-known figure in the Jukun Gang, who specializes in teaching stealing skills to steal information. At the same time, he is known as "Half Lu Miaozi" and is a very outstanding craftsman. Construction, tools, and all fields that require technology are considered masters.Yunyu really only valued his ability to steal, and didn't pay much attention to other strange skills, which is really a bit overkill.

As soon as she opened her mouth, Yunyu really knew what to do, and immediately found Chen Laomou and handed it to Su Ye.Chen Laomou is very old, and he is an old man with white hair and belly. He heard that Su Ye has become the backstage of the Jukun Gang. He hoped to transfer him to serve the Wagang Army, design siege equipment, and dig underground passages. There is no way to agree.

He only hoped that he would have the opportunity to contact the ingenious young boy so that he could pass on what he had learned in his life.In this regard, he is surprisingly similar to Lu Miaozi.

Su Ye took him along the Yangtze River upstream by boat, landed on the north bank, bought two horses, and drove back to Xingyang, Henan Province day and night.Zhai Rang, Xu Shiji and others rebelled against the Sui Dynasty in Wagang City, so it was called "Wagang Army".But later, Wagang City fell back into the hands of the Sui army.The Wagang Army currently uses Xingyang City as their base camp. Zhai Rang's Dalongtou Mansion and Li Mi's Pushan Gong Mansion were built in the inner city of Xingyang, and the furnishings are very grand.

Long before Li Mi threw himself into Wagang, Su Ye had asked Zhai Rang to capture Xingyang. In this way, he could attack when he advanced, and he could defend when he retreated, and he would no longer be passively beaten.Since Xingyang is only two hundred miles away from Luoyang, the eastern capital, it can also cut off the connection between the three capitals of the Sui Dynasty and separate Luoyang from the defense systems of Chang'an and Yangzhou.Once the Wagang Army successfully occupies Luoyang, their prestige will definitely increase.

As far as Su Ye is concerned, she personally prefers Yangzhou, which was renamed Jiangdu.She is really familiar with that place, and can draw the distribution of water channels and the terrain with her eyes closed.However, since she chose the Wagang Army, she could only wait for Yang Guang to die, the Yuwen Clan controlled Yangzhou, and then clashed with the rebels in Jiangnan and Jianghuai.

Just because she was one step ahead of Li Mi, Zhai Rang did all kinds of things that Li Mi planned in advance, and Li Mi's reputation did not reach the height it should be.He still made great military exploits and was in charge of a battalion alone, known as "Pu Shan Gong".However, most of the counselors and generals of the Wagang Army have always been devoted to Zhai Rang, and they did not secretly take refuge in him because of Li Mi's secret activities.

However, Li Mi's personal charm should not be underestimated.He can be described as "top" in terms of military art and deceit.If it wasn't for Su Ye's experience in fighting for hegemony and knowing the rise and fall of the Wagang Army in advance, he might not be his opponent.

Not long ago, Yang Guang was desperate for the approaching army, abandoned Luoyang, and went straight to Yangzhou, which made the rebels' fighting spirit high.At this time, even a fool would know that the Wagang Army should desperately attack Luoyang, let Luoyang and Xingyang echo each other, form a solid and reliable base, and then use this place as a foundation.From then on, no matter whether they attacked the southwest or the southeast, they had a lot of confidence.

After Zhai Rang discovered Li Mi's ambition, he no longer treated him as a confidant brother. He was friendly on the surface, and he was careful in private, and restrained his daughter not to go out privately, for fear that Li Mi would use any means to kidnap Zhai Jiao and lure him to save others , and then launch a conspiracy against him.

It wasn't until Yang Guang left for Yangzhou that the two men cooperated in a rare way, as if they were one person, and vowed to take Luoyang.It was precisely for this reason that Su Ye left Wagang boldly and concentrated on his own affairs, not afraid to go back and find that Zhai Rang was dead.

The death of Zhai Rang enabled Li Mi to successfully become the leader of the Wagang Army, but there are extremely deep hidden dangers.This incident sowed the seeds of the Wagang Army's split, made people loyal to Zhai Rang split their hearts, and greatly worsened the impression Li Mi left on others, making others shake their heads, thinking that Li Mi could kill even the leader. Die, there's nothing you can't do.

Even she herself finds it difficult to face Li Mi. She is not willing to part with his superb military strategy, but she must always be on guard against him colluding with outsiders and biting back.Anyway, as long as there are benefits to take, Li Mi will never give up.

Xingyang City was completely controlled by the Wagang Army. There was no prefect in the city, and Zhai Rang personally took charge of it.If Zhai Rang leads the troops to go out, the military division who stays behind will handle the government affairs, sometimes Zu Junyan, sometimes Shen Luoyan.

When Su Ye persuaded Yun Yuzhen, he spent a lot of time and energy, and finally relied on force to intimidate others, so that Yun Yuzhen completely abandoned the Dugu Clan.However, she wanted Shen Luoyan to give up Li Mi, and she spent ten times more energy than the former.

Shen Luoyan was different from Xu Shiji and others, it wasn't that he favored Li Mi later, but because he liked Li Mi's potential to be the hegemon of the world, so he brought his whole family to join him.From the beginning, she was Li Mi's subordinate instead of Zhai Rang. Later, she made a marriage contract with Xu Shiji who was subordinate to Zhai Rang, which was also a political marriage.

Su Ye not only wants to show her great vision, but also formulates detailed strategies and tactics to prove that he will never lose to Li Mi.It took her a year to make Shen Luoyan believe her and give her great hope.Afterwards, after careful consideration, Shen Luoyan asked her to obtain He's Bi, which everyone knew about, and was recognized by important figures in the Baidao.

This condition is undoubtedly extremely harsh.Those who are well-informed know that He's Bi has always been kept by Cihang Jingzhai, and the contemporary heirs will choose suitable entrusted objects.There are women who cultivate the way of heaven in the room. After going out of the mountain to practice, they return to Jingzhai to live in seclusion until the next troubled times.So far, no one has dared to snatch things from them.

However, the chances of them choosing Su Ye were infinitely close to zero.Shen Luoyan's request was tantamount to forcing her to rob her hard, and she couldn't be taken back after the robbing.Looking at the entire rivers and lakes, there are very few people who dare to do so.

To Shen Luoyan's surprise, as soon as she finished speaking, Su Ye immediately agreed, as if she was very happy.She didn't know that Su Ye had always wanted to marry Shibi, so she was shocked, and even faintly felt wronged, and then said, if it really doesn't work, then forget it.

When Su Ye saw the gate of Xingyang City, this promise resurfaced in his heart, and he couldn't help smiling.When she returned to Xingyang, she didn't intend to charge forward, because that was the matter of her generals.She just wants to continue to retreat for two to three months, or until the successor of Jingzhai shows up in the rivers and lakes.

After discussions, Li Mi, Zhai Rang and others all agreed that it would be best to surprise Luoyang and catch Wang Shichong by surprise, but for some reason, the information leaked out ahead of time, which made the plan of surprise attack come to naught.They had no choice but to change their plan and choose to gradually attack the city granaries near Luoyang, preparing to make Luoyang a truly isolated city.

She had placed great hopes in the surprise attack before, and at the same time promised Zhai Rang that she would take action before the battle to deal with the difficult masters in the enemy army, but the plan failed before it even started, and she had to settle for the next best thing.

If only the Sui army resisted tenaciously, it would be fine, but there was no news from the Li clan in Guanzhong, which made her very vigilant.She could almost imagine the scene of the Li clan leaving Guanzhong to help Luoyang.

The lord Li Yuan is recognized as indecisive and unresponsive, but his three sons are like wolves, especially the future Tang Taizong Li Shimin.In order to force his father to rebel, Li Shimin came up with a genius plan to report his father's treason to the emperor by all means. How could he watch Luoyang fall into the hands of others.In the city of Luoyang, elite soldiers and strong generals were guarding it. If the Li Clan made another move, the Wagang Army might not be able to capture it as they wished.

Therefore, Su Ye was ready for a long battle.She sometimes goes to the southeast coast, and sometimes returns to the pasture. Apart from dealing with private affairs, she also wants to continue to make allies and carry out other trades, so as to prevent the Wagang Army from failing and lacking military expenditure.

She never forgot that the descendants of Jingzhai will choose the future successor to the throne in Luoyang, but Yang Gong's treasury is in Chang'an.Lu Miaozi gave her the design drawing of the secret channel of the agency, which is tantamount to acknowledging her qualification to obtain the treasure house.She had to wait for the right moment to get the treasure house out of the ground.

Yang Gong's treasure house is the warehouse where Yang Su hoards military supplies, and its status is directly comparable to He's Bi.Yang Su died before conspiring against him, and all the wealth he had saved was put there.What He's Bi brings is only fame, but Yang Gong's treasure house is a real benefit.When Fu Junmao got a piece of precious jade from the treasury and pawned it in a pawnshop, it would cause an uproar, which shows how much the forces of all parties value it.

Take Du Fuwei as an example, when he saw the "Secret of Longevity", he simply let it go and didn't practice it, and only asked about the location of the entrance, which is exactly what people like them should choose.Fortunately, almost no one knew the location of the treasure house, so she didn't have to worry about being caught first.

She showed the Golden Dragon Token to the city gate guards and was immediately put into the city.Chen Laomou looked around her, and when he approached the inner city, he suddenly praised: "Xingyang City is really well planned."

Su Ye smiled and said: "You must look at the canals that run through Xingyang, and you must think it's better. I think you are under the leadership of Yun Gang, so I brought you here. No matter what kind of work you want to do, we can discuss it."

Zhai Rang was in Dalongtou Mansion at this time, when someone reported that Su Yeren had returned to Xingyang, he couldn't help being shocked, he immediately left his daughter and went to the study to wait.Su Ye first asked his servants to entertain Chen Laomou, and then went to the study room familiarly, and came to see the nominal father-in-law.

Zhai Rang is not young anymore, he is about the same as Du Fuwei, both over 50 years old, and his figure is also like Du Fuwei, tall and thin, with bright eyes, giving people a shrewd and gloomy feeling.His appearance is relatively gentle, which contrasts sharply with Li Mi's majestic figure, but his martial arts are not inferior to Li Mi's, so Li Mi must plan a plot to kill him with confidence.

When the two of them talked, there was never any outsider in the study, and this time was no exception.When Su Ye saw him, he immediately smiled and said, "Father, it's been a long time."

Every time she professed her foster father, Zhai Rang felt uncomfortable all over, thinking that he might be more comfortable recognizing her as a foster sister.But he knew in his heart that Su Ye had no malice towards him, and the past grievances had dissipated, so he put on the appearance of an elder, nodded and said: "You have worked hard all the way. Why didn't you send someone to send me a gift before returning to Luoyang?" letter?"

Su Ye said lightly: "I don't like people knowing my whereabouts, not to mention that I don't have any entourage. I came back earlier than expected this time because the Dugu Clan came and asked me to meet at the site of the Jukun Gang. I must Turn back to the southeast before fifteen days."

Zhai Rang was slightly startled, frowned and said, "Did you offend the Dugu Man?"
