Youzhou took two counties in half a year. When he heard that he was talking to the city guards of Hejian County, Li Shimin felt very stressed.

If Hejian County is taken down by Li De, Penglai may not be affected in the nearest future, and he has no choice but to do so.

He could only use some means to delay time and talk about the matter of Hejian County by the way. For this reason, he has decided to make a great profit for his return.

Regarding negotiations, in order to recover the city and county, Youzhou has a huge power, but it will change the system and replace the city guards' work. The county magistrates will eventually suffer.

Li Shimin talked with them and discussed it. The conditions given were nothing more than power and money. Anyway, the conditions were extremely relaxed.

Unfortunately, if you want to talk about core competitiveness, there is no need to say much about Youzhou's reputation. The reason why it has not been agreed upon is that Boling County has 50,000 troops, and some large households in the county need to clear it.

Not all counties are poor.

Gao Cheng and Zhang Jin had long known what the situation was in the city and county that was to be regained. The reason why they did not choose to use force was to maximize their interests.

They expect to solve several cities and counties in a peaceful way, so as to avoid killing and give people a good impression when they recover more cities and counties in the future.

As for those who still want to be an official, there is really no way. Unless they are really capable, they will not stay in office.

Recovery is not a compromise, and rules are required at the root.

In Luoyang, the anti-kings will have exchanges in private, and they think it would be great to recover large cities but not small cities and counties.

Why did they choose to go to the parody?

They never thought that with Emperor Yang of Sui, there were different states in the prefectures without Emperor Yang of Sui. Now the emperors of the Sui Dynasty have divided three of them, and it is unknown who they hear.

The county magistrates do not have the ambition to compete for hegemony, so they are a hot potato. They not only have to be exposed to powerful forces, but also have to worry about the food and salary issues of the troops stationed.

It is really difficult to support the taxes and fees of the people of the city and county. They thought that since they didn't know which emperor they should be loyal to, they would just leave the taxes and fees.

In fact, they dare not do this, especially in such uncertainty.

If an emperor sends someone to ask for the account one day, it will not be an exaggeration to behead him or her head whenever he has any delivery.

So directly handing over the rights is to protect themselves.

Just like the city guard in Shanggu County, he is now a big businessman, and has invested several workshops in Shanggu County, and the annual dividends are enough for him to be free.

No one who can sit in this position is a fool, so there is no need to hesitate to make choices, unless there are too many forces involved and the relationship between the city is complicated.

No matter what, they were still very friendly to the regaining of Youzhou because they couldn't afford to offend them.

These are the things that the anti-kings communicated in private. Youzhou sent 500 people to the county magistrate of Shanggu County and successfully occupied the city and county after a few words. This was very exciting for them.

"If I had known this would have happened, I would have led my troops to attack the prefectures directly. Perhaps the troops would have doubled at this time.

"Who said no, it's better now. I'm so frustrated that I can't leave Luoyang."

Among them, Li Mi silently said that his Wagang soldiers were strong, so why didn't he think of this? He directly attacked a prefecture and used it to be used to get birds in Luoyang.

"What do you mean? If you all leave to attack Chengjun, would you be willing to give up Luoyang?"

A word woke up the dreamer. The anti-kings complained that they are now, and they are unwilling to give up.

Li Mi was very moved. After drinking with the rebels, he returned to the general's mansion and immediately called Xu Maogong to talk to Shan Xiongxin.

"Mr. Maogong, the geographical location of Wagang Village is military gravity. Do you think it is better to take over the nearby cities and counties to develop?"

Li Mi has made up her mind to be able to say this.

Xu Maogong had been with him for so long and knew Li Mi's idea. In his opinion, it was naturally very good to run the city and county, at least there was tax revenue that could supply Wagang soldiers.

But it is not that easy to manage a city. How could anyone take the initiative to offer the city? It’s not that it’s up to fight.

In fact, this consumes a lot of troops and energy in Wagang. After attacking the city, you have to occupy the garrison. A city and county needs to be stationed at least 30,000 troops to be considered as insurance.

In this way, the Wagang soldiers will naturally be divided into some strength. It is impossible to bring all the troops out if they go to war. The city will not be defended.

Xu Maogong has an IQ. He didn’t see why there were so many soldiers and horses in Youzhou. Why was they the one who fought the most?

Everything has two sides. I discussed this matter with Li Mi before, and the casualties caused by attacking the city were greater.

The cost of attacking cities may be reduced now, but it is also impossible to consume.

Although the 300,000 troops are very powerful, it is because there are basically not many things in Wagang Village. It is not easy to change it to a city.

"Duke of Wei, it would be fine if the troops were transferred back to Wagang in this matter, but in that case, the local forces would be developed. The dispute between Chang'an and Luoyang may not be able to catch up."

Xu Maogong is telling the truth. How could he send troops to participate in such a thing with a foundation? Just like now, they are all trapped in Luoyang.

The Li family is now digesting the fruits of victory. I believe that it will not take long for the rebellion kings to be plotted by the Li family.

Xu Maogong had already expected it, but what else could he do?

After hearing Xu Maogong's words, Li Mi hesitated that he really couldn't let go of Luoyang.

"Mr. Mao, I have decided. Since I am stalemate in Luoyang, it is better to let General Dan bring his troops back to attack several cities and counties as the foundation, so as to keep a low profile."

Li Mi made a decision that seemed jealous and helpless, in fact, he really considered it. It is a way to keep a low profile. It is good to leave a way out for himself.

Xu Maogong immediately chose to support it, and it would be better to leave a way out. Besides, it was not safe to have all the 300,000 troops in Wagang trapped in Luoyang.

So the first to withdraw most of the troops was the Wagang soldiers, and directly transferred 250,000 troops, saving the demand for food and salary in one go.

Luoyang's dividends can just meet the support of 50,000 troops.

What was Li Mi's idea? The anti-kings who drank with him every day were very clear. Not only the Wagang soldiers, but also some anti-kings had already started to prepare. They would take advantage of this time that they would not occupy a good foundation.

Li De didn't expect that his expansion of Youzhou's power would cause reactions from the anti-kings.

In the following months, battles continued in various states and prefectures, and many joint anti-king forces were discovered to attack the city together.

The central and southern regions began to get messy.

But they wanted to capture the city but there was no treatment like Youzhou. They all responded behind closed doors and restrained the anti-kings for a long time.

Except for the powerful Wagang soldiers, the other anti-kings basically suffered considerable losses.

After seeing Hong Mudan's information, Li De really had nothing to say to these anti-kings. He almost trapped 20,000 people in the county town with five or six thousand soldiers.
