Therefore, hefirst, rest the troops, build storehouse When the troops and horses are satisfied, ill have advantage in our fight against others”
Just by this insight, it could clearly be seen that Li Mi’s power, talent, greatness and resourcefulness were superior to Zhai Rang’s
If they were able to exercise control over Xingyang and the surrounding area, they could solve the long-term food supply problem, further expanded their influence, posed a direct threat to the Eastern Capital Luoyang, and affected theand Jiangdu, three strategic cities

At this tiht, the two boys have just stepped foot over the gate, i blue warrior outfit As the leader saw that they earing long sabers and their unusually iround, the purpose of their visit, and so on
Kou Zhong cooked up some nonsense, but the captain was still not satisfied; he asked, “Everybody coned and issued by Zu Junshi+ Looking at you, I don’t believe you are lawbreakers, but iveyou to pass”
Since the captain polite and courteous, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had good i cal, this time we came here to look for our close friend, Jiejie Susu; she is your … hey! Your Da Longtou’s [lit big dragon head, Big Boss] hter’s maid If you don’t believe me, you may find her and ask, then you’ll know”

After a short pause, he continued, “What are your naratefully replied, “Please just tell her that Xiao Zhong and Xiao Ling ca Because Susu was safe, they were quite excited
The captain ordered his men to take the two boys to wait in the officers’ hall near the city gate, and then he sent another allop away to notify Susu
The two boys were seated in a small stone room, the door was made of steel, obviously it was a s did not understand, “Clearly Zhai Rang was struck and injured by that strangereplied with a wry smile, “Do you expect ht, and every single one of the Wagang troops looked like they have fought a couple of ti to come with us, on’t have the ability to take her away”
Kou Zhong laughed and said, “Don’t be that pessimistic! The matter depends on the individual, we can always find ways; for example, we can try to steal his ht that the one who issue and sign the passes is Zu Junyan; hi?”
“How far can it get us?” Xu Ziling replied, “Right now I am most afraid to come across Shen Luoyan, that b1tch and her subordinates who have fought against us If that happens, ill be in big trouble”
