Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2402: Wang Meng enters Yongzhou, Zhang and Wu discuss Li Mi

Under the strong advocacy of Li Mi, the governor of Liangzhou, and the decisive action of Gao Jiong, the governor of Yongzhou, the four passes of Yongzhou were completely blocked.

Today, Liangzhou is in a state where people are allowed to enter but not leave.

This is true for both the Yuan and Mongolian factions and the Jin army. You can come in, but if you want to get out, it will be even more difficult.

Even the Yuan Mongolian Emperor Temujin did not go out at this time, let alone others!

On the Yuan and Mongolian side, more than 100,000 troops were on the front line, including their emperor Temujin, who was still holding the front at this time. They did not enter the grassland and head far to the northern desert or the Western Regions, nor did they retreat to Dunhuang which had not been affected yet.

As for the Jin army, Wei Qing and Meng Tian's 200,000-strong army remained stationed in the Liangdong area and refused to leave.

For no other reason than to prevent the plague from being accidentally spread to other areas.

Whether it was the Jin army or the Yuan Mongols, they could not afford the price.

At this time, Li Xiang certainly couldn't allow the southern troops to enter Liangzhou. If they did, it would be like taking more people with them.

Besides, at that place, at this time, it seemed that none of the troops from both sides had withdrawn, but who still had the mind to fight?
Today, Yongzhou is also in a state where entry is allowed but exit is not.

Wang Meng, the Minister of Personnel of the Jin Dynasty, personally went to Yongzhou to take charge of all matters after submitting a memorial to Li Xiang accusing Li Mi, Wei Qing and Meng Tian of crimes.

Temujin regarded Dunhuang and Juyan, which were mainly Gobi terrain, as a buffer zone, while Li Mi, Gao Jiong, and even Wang Meng, regarded Yongzhou as a buffer zone of Sizhou.

Just as Li Mi had expected, the checkpoints were directly blocked to isolate the plague within Liangzhou. Even if it unfortunately spread to Yongzhou, with Yongzhou's unique terrain, all the checkpoints could be blocked again, and Yongzhou could be used as a buffer zone for Sizhou. As long as it did not spread to Sizhou, it would be fine.

In Li Mi's view, the battle in the Central Plains has been won, and the battle in the south is also almost certain to be won. With the Central Plains and the south, no matter how great the losses of this method are, they have the confidence to resist it, and it will only take a few more years at most.

However, if the Yuan and Mongolian troops invaded into the heart of Siyong, it would be an unbearable pain.

Therefore, even if it means mutual destruction, it is worth it.

The descendants of the Li family should focus on preserving their own Li family's empire. As for the common people of the world, they should follow the Li family's empire.

This is a family-ruled society. The world belongs to their Li family, not to the people of the world.

"Li Changyuan's plan failed!" Wu Qi, who received the news and was among the southern reinforcements that were urgently stopped, was stunned after hearing about what happened in Liang Province.

He asked himself, he was definitely not a soft-hearted person, when things got really bad, he could even sacrifice his parents, wife and children. However, he still couldn't do such a thing.

"Li Changyuan, he can't think of such a plan!"

"I'm afraid there's someone else who came up with this idea!"

"But this person has also figured out Li Changyuan's thoughts!" Zhang Liang had an inexplicable look on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Although Zhang Liang had not had much contact with Li Mi, he knew from the few contacts he had that this person was definitely not someone who had no bottom line. It was not that he could not come up with such a plan, but that such a person would not even think about it.

Therefore, Zhang Liang knew that the person who actually proposed this strategy was definitely not Li Mi.

Who was the person behind this? Zhang Liang had roughly guessed it. It was either that person or another one.

In the entire Dajin, there are only three or four people who have no bottom line in their style of doing things. And among them, there are only two who have enough motivation to do such a thing.

Therefore, it must be one of those two people.

This person was also sure that Li Mi would do such a thing. Therefore, he could hide behind the scenes with peace of mind.

Even if Li Mi really did this, all the consequences would be borne by Li Mi, not by the person who actually came up with the idea. At most, it would only be a minor responsibility, but the main responsibility would definitely be borne by Li Mi.

It's really amazing to get the job done and at the same time pass the blame to others!

However, such people are powerful, and if we were to face them, we would take them to heart. However, Zhang Liang absolutely looked down on such people.

Such people may be able to turn the situation around, but they do so by having no bottom line, rather than relying entirely on their own wisdom. People like Zhang Liang, on the other hand, believe more in using their wisdom to turn the situation around, rather than losing their bottom line.

"Li Changyuan, you are asking for trouble!"

When Wu Qi thought of Li Mi, he couldn't help but sigh.

Li Mi, although he admired his spirit of sacrificing his life for the Li family's empire.

But this time, he really didn't want to live anymore.

When he actually does this, it will not only be the loss of his political future, but there is a high probability that he will also lose his life.

To put it simply, the entire Liangzhou, except for Dunhuang and Juyan, which are mainly located in the Gobi Desert and are still under the control of the Yuan Mongols, all other places, whether they are the territories controlled by the Yuan Mongols or the Liangdong area controlled by their Jin army, have now fallen into the plague.

Moreover, whether the situation can be controlled in the Liangzhou area is still an unknown.
Let's take a step back for now. Even if the plague can be controlled in the Liangzhou area, this time the plague has affected nearly one million people in Liangzhou and more than 200,000 troops.

If Li Changyuan does not pay the price for this incident, then how to deal with the public anger? How to deal with the morale of the army? How to suppress the fierce attitude of the military generals?
Moreover, controlling the plague in the Liangzhou area is only the most optimistic attitude.

However, Zhang Liang was well aware that reality is often not so optimistic.

If it is a naturally occurring plague, if we try our best to control it, there is indeed a certain possibility that we can take advantage of the unique terrain and contain it within the scope of Liangzhou.

But the question now is, is this a plague that occurred naturally? Can we control the next plague if we want to? There is no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days! Even if you try your best to control it, there will be people who will fan the flames and help you spread it.

Li Mi's sincerity towards the Jin Dynasty is admirable! But he didn't consider this matter carefully!
