    After Yang Xuangan decided to cause trouble in Liyang, he wrote a letter inviting his brothers to rush to Liyang. His brother Yang Xuanting and his friend Li Mi all came from Chang'an to help.

    Li Mi is an old friend of Huang Mingyuan. Although he has a good relationship with Huang Mingyuan, because the two sides are in different camps, Huang Mingyuan does not dare to get too close to him, so he only talks about personal relationships on weekdays and never supports him.

    After Yang Guang ascended the throne, Li Mi relied on his father's influence to serve as the governor of the Zuoqinwei Mansion and the Qianniu Preparation of the East Palace.  People like him, whose father died early and whose family was in decline, were exactly the targets of Yang Guang's attack.  It is said that Li Mi had a sharp square forehead and clear black and white pupils.  So one time Yang Guang saw him in the ceremonial guard. After returning to the palace, he asked Yuwenshu who was accompanying him: "Who is the black-faced kid in the guard on the left just now?" Yuwenshu replied: "He is the late Pushan  The son of Gong Li Kuan is called Li Mi." Yang Guang was a little unhappy and said, "This child's look of care is very unusual. Don't let him serve as a guard in the palace."

    This Yu Wenshu had a high emotional intelligence and did not want to offend the Li family, so he said to Li Mi: "You are so talented, you should get an official position based on your talent and learning. Palace guard is a trivial job, not a place to cultivate talents." (Sui Shu Yong Xian.  Brother, little did he know that Yu Wenshu and Li Mi were thirty-six years old, and the two of them were a bodyguard and a general.)

    Li Mi was very happy after hearing this, so he resigned due to illness and concentrated on studying. People rarely saw him.  He once prepared to visit his teacher Bao Kai, riding an ox with a cattail cushion on its back. He also hung a set of "Hanshu" on the horns of the ox. He held the ox rope with one hand and turned the pages of the book to read.  .

    Later, Yang Su passed by the place where Li Mi lived in seclusion and saw Li Mi diligently studying. He tightened the reins of his horse and followed him at a slow pace. After catching up with him, he asked, "Where are the scholars so eager to learn?"

    Li Mi knew Yang Su, so he quickly got down from the cow, bowed twice, and informed him of his name.

    Yang Su asked him what he was reading again, and Li Mi replied "The Biography of Xiang Yu".  Yang Su was surprised by him and had a very pleasant conversation with him. He then said to his son Yang Xuangan and others: "I think Li Mi's knowledge and magnanimity are beyond the reach of you."

    Yang Xuangan was also impressed by Li Mi's knowledge, and fell in love with Li Mi.

    Li Mi is a staunch rebel. Just as he doesn¡¯t know why Yang Guang dislikes Li Mi, Li Mi also dislikes Yang Guang.

    The two have similar aspirations, and their relationship is irreversible.

    When Yang Xuangan raised troops this time, Li Mi happily came from Chang'an to plan for him.

    Although Yang Xuangan had rebelled at this time, he actually had no soldiers or generals and lacked strength.  Just relying on thousands of people to shake Yang Guang and create hegemony is tantamount to wishful thinking.

    Li Mi then suggested that if Yang Xuangan rebelled, he must first capture Liyangcang.

    Liyangcang is located at the foothills of Dagong Mountain in the southwest of Liyang City (now north of Dagong Mountain in Dongerli, Jun County, Henan Province).  It borders the Yongji Canal to the west and the Yellow River to the east, making water transportation extremely convenient.  The rice transported to Beijing from the Hebei area is first concentrated here, and then transported to Luoyang and Chang'an via the Yongji Canal or the Yellow River.  When Yang Guang sent troops to Goguryeo twice, the military rations transported from the Jianghuai River were first stored here, and then transported to Liaodong via Zhuojun. It was the only important granary in Hebei.  There has always been a saying that "Li Yang harvests and Jiuzhou is consolidated"

    Li Mi believes that Liyangcang now has sufficient storage, and as long as it is occupied, the rebel army's food and grass can be guaranteed.  And now, refugees are everywhere in Shandong and rebellions continue. If things are not harmonious, granaries will be opened to release grain.  When people from all over the country heard the news, they came quickly, and it was feared that hundreds of thousands of people could be used within a few days.

    Yang Xuangan was overjoyed when he heard this.

    However, precisely because of the importance of Liyangcang, it is not so easy to win here.

    Liyangcang was originally the head of the warehouse supervisor appointed by the imperial court, with thousands of warehouse soldiers.  When Yang Guangdong was conquering Goguryeo, he was worried about the banditry in various places, and Liyangcang was a top priority, so he mobilized 5,000 troops to garrison to guard against banditry.

    At this time, the supervisor of Liyangcang was Shangguanzheng, the former general of You Xiaowei.

    Shangguan Zheng was originally the governor of Cizhou. He made great achievements in pacifying the Yangliang Rebellion and was granted the title of General of the Twelve Guards.  During the Western Expedition to Tuyuhun, he was demoted to a commoner due to his defeat.  Later, Yang Guang thought of Shangguanzheng again and took him as the supervisor of Liyangcang to guard Liyangcang.

    Shangguan Zheng is also a veteran general with tens of thousands of troops, and the city of Liyangcang is tall and strong.  The army in Yang Xuangan's hands was just some food protection teams and family private soldiers. There were only five to six thousand people, and most of them were useless. Therefore, there was no good strategy to break the city.

    For Yang Xuangan, the advantage of attacking Liyangcang is that the news of the uprising has not been exposed, and Shangguanzheng will not lead troops to attack.  But Li Yangcang is also an iron shell, and he can't attack by force at all.

    At this time, Li Mi came up with some advice. Yang Xuangan had a good relationship with Shangguanzheng, and they were also very close to each other in the past.??There is contact.  Yang Xuangan could invite Shangguanzheng to Liyang City in the name of a banquet. If Shangguanzheng was unprepared, Yang Xuangan could suddenly attack at the banquet and capture him.

    Then he secretly ordered his confidants, pretending to be Shangguanzheng's bodyguard, and rushed to Liyangcang overnight to open the city gate.  After entering the city, Yang Xuangan used his status as Minister of War to summon the generals, and in the name of treason against Shangguan government, he purged his trusted generals and captured the entire army.

    Of course, it would be best if Shangguan Zhengzhixiang could surrender.

    Yang Xuangan was overjoyed when he heard Li Mi's plan. This plan was interconnected and it not only avoided fighting with the defenders of Liyangcang, but also captured all of Liyangcang. It was a good plan.

    Yang Xuangan quickly acted according to his plan and sent people to Liyangcang to invite Shangguanzheng.  After all, Yang Xuangan was a minister of the Ministry of War, a duke, and his superior in government affairs. He asked himself whether the other party would give him this face.

    "It's a pity that God didn't fulfill people's wishes, and things changed before Yang Xuangan could implement it.

    Yang Xuangan sent someone to invite Shangguanzheng to report that Shangguanzheng had recently injured his left arm due to hunting and was bedridden, unable to come to Liyang City. Instead, he invited Yang Xuangan to Liyangcang.

    Yang Xuangan was shocked. Of course, he did not dare to go to Liyangcang, because he was worried that the matter would be revealed to Shangguan Zheng, which would be a fraud.  But if he didn't go, there was no reason. For a moment, Yang Xuangan was in a dilemma.

    In fact, Yang Xuangan was overly worried. Shangguanzheng was almost sixty at this time. Although he was brave in his early years, in recent years he has indulged in drinking and sex and has long been a little faint.

    Although Liyangcang and Liyang City are not far apart, he knows nothing about what happened in Liyang City.

    Even so, if Shangguanzheng doesn't come to Liyang City, all the plans will be in vain.

    At this time, Li Mi had another plan. He told Yang Xuangan that he knew Ying Yanglang general Yuan Wuben in Liyangcang, and he could say that he was coming to surrender.

    When the time comes, Yuan Wuben will open the gate of Liyang Cang and cooperate with the outside to break the city.

    Yang Xuangan was dubious after hearing this. Yuan Wuben did not have a deep friendship with him, so how could he be willing to give up his family business and follow him in rebellion.  And if this matter fails, wouldn't it be a waste of time to frighten the snake?

    But Yang Xuangan had no other choice but to follow Li Mi's advice.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
