Chapter 0009 Li Mi
Great Xia Dragon Bird.
Li Yu looked at Li Zixiong in front of him. He always felt that Li Zixiong wanted to say something but didn't say it. There was a weird atmosphere in his eyes.
"You are good at using a sword. The sword is the king of all weapons. It can be used in a wide range of ways. It is very suitable for you. The sword technique you practiced is actually inherited from everyone. Now the only thing you lack is a precious sword." Li Zixiong looked into the distance with a calm expression, as if he was narrating a simple matter. He said, "Daxia Dragon Bird! It is said that it is made of iron from outer space and took a long time to forge. On the day it was forged, the sword killed a giant python and the python's soul was captured on the blade."
Li Yu's eyes flashed with brilliance, but soon the light disappeared without a trace. Such a precious sword was not something he could possess, at least not now. He looked at the towering mansion in the distance and whispered, "Father, Yuwen Shu, Qu Tutong and the others are behind us, and they will catch up with us soon. Why don't we leave here now?"
"Food. The army doesn't have much food. The Yang family in Huayin has a lot of food. The Duke stayed to get some food." Li Zixiong shook his head and said disdainfully : "However, I'm afraid the Duke will be disappointed. Although the Yang family has a lot of food, they will definitely not give it to the Duke. This is a noble family."
"No food?" Li Yu was stunned and couldn't help saying, "If the Duke can get enough food, he can quickly attack Guanzhong. What if there is no food at this time ? The Duke and the Hongnong Yang family share honor and disgrace. These food should be delivered to the Duke. Why do you have to ask for them?"
"The Duke is the Duke, and the Hongnong Yang family is the Hongnong Yang family." Li Zixiong said disdainfully, "It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's hard to help in times of trouble. If the Duke enters Guanzhong, he will have as much food and grass as he wants, but if he doesn't enter Guanzhong, then it won't work. The Yang family is still the Yang family, and the Duke is still the Duke."
"Humph, you don't even think about attacking Guanzhong at this time, but you want to stay here, you deserve to fail." Li Yu sneered. Both Yang Xuangan and the Hongnong Yang family are short-sighted. When disaster strikes, we are all in the same boat, and you want to divide us, which is simply courting death.
"The Duke may die, but the Yang family will definitely be fine." Li Zixiong said dimly.
Li Yu was puzzled at first, but finally he sighed. He understood. He remembered that after Yang Xuangan's defeat, the Yang family did not suffer any losses. In the Tang Dynasty, many of them became prime ministers. It seemed that the power of the Hongnong Yang family was too great, and they were also members of the Guanzhong family. If Yang Guang wanted to get rid of them, he would have to take a great political risk.
"These damn aristocratic families." Li Yu shook his head.
"Trust anyone, don't trust the aristocratic families. The aristocratic families are hypocritical and will sell you out at any time." Li Zixiong looked at his son and said seriously, "Look at the Duke of Chu."
"The Duke of Chu has ordered troops to be dispatched to Hongnong Palace."
Before Li Yu could say anything, the majestic gate of Yang's Palace suddenly opened, and Yang Xuangan's personal soldiers gave orders to attack Hongnong Palace. Hongnong Palace was a temporary palace built by Yang Guang. Although it was built on the ruins of the Western Han Dynasty, it also cost a lot of money.
"The battle of defeat has finally begun." Li Yu let out a long sigh.
"Hongnong Palace, why go to Hongnong Palace? Hongnong Palace is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if we attack now, we may not be able to take it down for several days. Isn't it a waste of energy?" Li Zixiong knew the geographical conditions around Hongnong Palace better. Hongnong Palace is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It cannot be taken down in a short time. At this time, attacking Hongnong Palace is basically seeking death.
"Father, we can't have any illusions at this time. We must be prepared. If we rely on Duke Chu, we will definitely die." Li Yu said solemnly.
Li Zixiong nodded. At this time, he also felt that things were not good. Yang Xuangan was still thinking about attacking Hongnong Palace at this time, which would be a situation of certain death. He said to Li Yu: "Let's go and see the Duke of Chu." Li Yu did not say anything. He could only follow Li Zixiong into the hall in front of him.
Not long after the two entered the gate, they saw Li Mi rushing out from inside. His elegant face turned red and his eyes were full of anger. Even from a distance, one could feel the disappointment in his heart.
"Mr. Pushan?" Li Zixiong stepped forward to greet him.
"We have failed, Lord Shangshu, we have failed." Li Mi looked at Li Zixiong and sighed, "Duke Chu actually wanted to seize Hongnong Palace. This is the way to death. I don't know whether Hongnong Palace has food or not, but if we attack Hongnong Palace at this time, we will surely die. Let's go! Let's disperse! If we stay any longer, I'm afraid we will all be captured by the tyrant."
"Duke Pushan, I'm afraid it's because the Hongnong Yang family refused to provide food and fodder, so Duke Chu had to attack Hongnong Palace and seize the food and fodder there!" Li Yu couldn't help but speak out.
"You must be Li Yu, right? I've heard of you. You snatched 300 elite soldiers from Han Zhao and formed a family of servants. During this time, you have been hiding in the camp to train soldiers. Tsk tsk, you probably look down on the Duke of Chu! You are quite good." Li Mi took a deep look at Li Yu and said coldly, "While there is still a chance, why don't you and your son leave here with me? How about it?"
Li Yu's face changed. He didn't expect that Li Mi could see through him and see his every move so clearly. No wonder this guy could stir up the situation at the end of the Sui Dynasty. His name was mentioned in the struggle for hegemony in the world. Judging from his vision, he was no ordinary person.
"Pu Shan Gong is joking. My nephew is the son-in-law of the Duke of Chu. I share the honor and disgrace with the Duke of Chu. I don't know what you are talking about." Li Yu said quickly. Just kidding, we are still in Huayin City. Li Mi is famous and Yang Xuangan dare not do anything to him, but he, Li Yu, is not the same. Even if he is brave, he dare not say that he can break through Yang Xuangan's attack.
Li Mi looked at Li Yu, then glanced at Li Zixiong, closed his eyes, nodded, and said: "You are very good, better than your father. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me." Then he turned and left. He didn't expect that Li Yu would say such a profound thing. He was obviously a little fox. His political awareness was much better than that of his father Li Zixiong.
"Let's go, ignore him, it's more important to go see the Duke of Chu." Li Zixiong frowned. They couldn't just fight hard when attacking Hongnong Palace, especially when the rear army was about to arrive, they had to be careful.
"Li Yu, you can come to me later." Li Mi suddenly turned around and said.
"This person is frivolous and cunning, and you can't work with him." Before Li Yu could answer, Li Zixiong's voice rang in his ears, which surprised Li Yu. He didn't expect Li Zixiong to comment on Li Mi in this way. This sentence was not a good comment. When Li Yu wanted to ask again, Li Zixiong had already gone to see Yang Xuangan. Li Yu didn't dare to neglect him and could only follow him.
