The Rise of The Mythical Dragon

The Eastern Expedition was interrupted less than halfway through. Even if Yang Guang was unwilling, he had no choice but to lead his troops in retreat.

At this time, the Sui Dynasty was already in crisis, and rebels were rising everywhere.

In recent years, Wagangzhai, Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei and others have successively raised armies. The Sui Dynasty, which had been peaceful for decades, completely collapsed just after its prosperity was revealed.

Among them, because Wagang Village is the closest to Luoyang, it is considered the most serious concern of the imperial court.

Yang Guang issued orders several times to conquer Wagang Village, but he always lost more than he won. Instead of being destroyed, Wagang Village became more and more powerful. In addition, Zhai Rang had many powerful generals under his command, which made the court more and more jealous. Be afraid.

A group of Sui troops advanced slowly, but their momentum seemed different from other Sui troops. They had high fighting spirit, and even their armor was much stronger than most of the Sui troops.

This is a true warrior of hundreds of battles, and the leader is none other than Sui general Zhang Xutuo.

Since he became successful in the court, Zhang Xutuo has fought everywhere. In his early years, he followed the famous general Yang Su and was regarded as a rare famous general in the court.

After years of fighting in various places, Zhang Xutuo rarely suffered a defeat, and his soldiers were among the elite of the Sui army.

In addition, there are several generals in his hands, such as Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, who are Zhang Xutuo's biggest support.

In the early years, Wang Bo's uprising was also suppressed by Zhang Xutuo, and his reputation spread throughout the Eastern Xia Dynasty.

The annihilation of Wagang Village under the emperor's order this time gave Zhang Xutuo a headache.

It's not that I'm afraid, but I'm worried.

This Wagang Village has rarely suffered defeats since the uprising. It looks scattered on the surface, but it is very cohesive. In addition, in the past, they were all green forest people, but their behavior was a little rough, and there was not much wrong with it.

If there were no problems within Wagang, it would be difficult to defeat it in one fell swoop.

However, the Holy Spirit emphasizes the importance of military speed and speed, and the Wagang Village has now become a concern. He ordered himself to destroy Wagang as soon as possible to avoid affecting the imperial court's third Eastern Expedition.

Zhang Xutuo wanted to report this method several times, but it was not appropriate. Regardless of whether he could win Wagangzhai, he could not fill the big hole in Goguryeo anyway.

If there is another big defeat, I am afraid that the Sui Dynasty will not be saved.

Just when Zhang Xutuo was thinking about this matter, a war horse approached beside him.

On top of the war horse, a young general wearing light golden armor approached, a trace of doubt flashed across his face, and then he asked: "General, what are you worried about?"

Along the way, Zhang Xutuo had a stern look on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhang Xutuo looked back and saw his favorite lieutenant Qin Qiong, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Uncle Bao, I have nothing to worry about, General."

Hearing this, Qin Qiong frowned instinctively, and then said: "General, if it is because of the Wagang Village incident, you can rest assured that Shu Bao will capture everyone in the village one by one!"

At this time, Qin Qiong was very confident, not just in confidence, but in his own strength.

Qin Qiong used gold maces to fight, and was very handy with spears. He was a leader in the army in both infantry and horse battles, and his martial arts skills were also extremely high.

In his early years when he was in Lai Hu'er's army, he was valued by Lai Hu'er. Now in Zhang Xutuo's army, he is even more brave in battle and has few opponents.

If someone else had said this, Zhang Xutuo might have laughed at the other person for not overestimating his abilities, but Qin Qiong had no problem saying it.

Zhang Xutuo nodded, and then said: "In that case, I am waiting for the news of Shu Bao's victory."

…

At this time, in Wagang Village, when they learned that Zhang Xutuo was coming with his troops, Wagang Village finally felt a bit of pressure.

In the past, it was just a small fight, but now the general of the imperial court personally took action, which naturally caused a lot of pressure on Wagang Village.

What's more, the leader of the army, Zhang Xutuo, was a fierce man who defeated Wang Bodu, and the soldiers in his hands were the elite of the Sui army, so he had to guard against them.

In the main hall, Zhai Rang, who was sitting in the main seat, was a little worried. The successive victories in the past had made him a little proud over the years, but now that Zhang Xutuo poured cold water on him, it was inevitable that he could not recover.

What I was thinking about at this time was actually not to resist, but to retreat temporarily.

Everyone in the hall looked at Zhai Rang's appearance and could roughly guess what the Lord Zhai Rang was thinking, but so what if they knew, they couldn't express their opinions in a hurry yet.

Zhai Rang, who was worried, suddenly couldn't hear any sound. He felt that the hall was eerily quiet. It was strange for a moment, so he raised his head and glanced at everyone.

Zhai Rang was stunned when everyone lowered their heads and said nothing, as if they had made a mistake.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Everyone, the army is approaching. What do you think? Tell me and listen."

Worried about shaking the morale of the army, Zhai Rang still did not mention the retreat. He wanted to see what everyone thought.

After the words fell, the hall was still in a realm, and no sound could be heard.

Zhai Rang frowned and wanted to speak, but found someone in the team standing up.

Looking at the people walking out, Zhai Rang's face suddenly became happy, and even his eyes were filled with a lot of light.

"My Lord, I have a plan for you!"

Hearing this, Zhai Rang's face suddenly became excited, and many people also looked at Li Mi.

This Li Mi was a member of the Li family in Liaodong. Currently, the Li family in Liaodong was completely killed by Yang Guang. This Li Mi could be said to be a feud with Yang Guang.

Since coming to Wagangzhai after the defeat, he has given up many ideas to Zhai, but most of them have been focused on changes in internal affairs and the army, and he has never contributed any strategies.

At this time, when they heard that the other party said that there was a strategy available, many people were naturally curious and wanted to hear what the strategy that Li Mi planned to use looked like.

Seeing that many people's eyes were focused on him, Li Mi showed a smile, and then said: "The Sui army is unstoppable, especially this time it is Zhang Xutuo who leads the army."

"It is said that this man has two generals under his command, one is Qin Qiong and the other is Luo Shixin. Both of them are generals who have fought in hundreds of battles. Needless to say, they are powerful. I think there are not many people here who can defeat each other."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of noise in the hall.

Many people looked at Li Mi angrily. His words sounded a bit wrong at first, but now everyone came back to their senses.

What Li Mi said at this time was obviously to increase others' momentum and destroy his own prestige!

A general stepped out in one step, and his majestic body arrived in front of Li Mi in the blink of an eye. His eyes were like bells waiting for Li Mi.

"Can you say that again!?"

The voice unconsciously raised a few pitches, and it was obvious that this person was not convinced by Li Mi's statement.

The big ax in his hand looked like he was already hungry and thirsty, and he almost scared Li Mi to death.

Swallowing his saliva involuntarily, Li Mi smiled sarcastically and said, "General Cheng, please be patient. I haven't finished speaking yet."
