Shi Qingyi strolls in Xingyang City, because it has experienced the war, the streets of Xingyang are a little dilapidated, but it is irrelevant, now the world is full of beacon fires, the people can have a temporary place to live and are already satisfied, not to mention the Wagang military order prohibited, forbidden to disturb the people, but also open a warehouse to release grain to help the people, in the troubled times, such a force is really rare, there is a good team like the Wagang Army for the sake of the people, what are the people not satisfied?

A middle-aged scribe with a thin figure and a stern face walked over, Shi Qingyi couldn't help but pay more attention, because this scribe was wearing the official clothes worn by the officials of the Sui Dynasty, and it was obviously a great Sui official who had surrendered. The middle-aged scribe didn't care, walked straight to the food stall on the street, and chose an empty seat to sit down.

The guy at the food stall immediately greeted him politely: "Lord Wei, it's really an honor for you to come to the small shop again, or is it the same as before, a bowl of noodles?" The shopkeeper took the order, while the middle-aged scribe sat upright in his seat and waited, instead of looking around in a bored waiting, as the average diner does. From the clothes to the words and deeds, as well as the honorific title of the shopkeeper, Lord Wei, Shi Qingyi knew that this person was Wei Zheng. At this time, Wei Zheng was not famous, although he was talented, but he was only a small secretary and official of the Sui Dynasty, and he surrendered to Li Mi with his boss, although he was appreciated by Li Mi at the beginning, but when he first arrived, his status was still not very high. Wei Zheng's life was industrious and simple, very different from the desperate and enjoyable Wagang generals, and there was nothing superfluous except for the official clothes, so it was no wonder that he would succumb to a dilapidated street food stall and enjoy cheap but delicious noodles contentedly.

Shi Qingyi became interested in Wei Zheng, she also walked into the noodle stall immediately, asked for the same noodles as Wei Zheng, when the guy retreated to the back hall to be busy, her eyes scanned left and right, and at the same time observed Wei Zheng's every move, her eyes were undisguised, so it was impossible for Wei Zheng not to pay attention, but Wei Zheng was still calm, until the guy brought the noodles, he began to bury his head in eating noodles, as if Shi Qingyi's gaze did not exist from the beginning. After eating noodles and paying, Wei Zheng walked straight away, and from beginning to end, he didn't look at Shi Qingyi.

Shi Qingyi chuckled, there are strengths, there must be shortcomings, Wei Zheng is pragmatic and is a cadre, but for personnel, he is very slow to react, Shi Qingyi sat in front of him, looking at him with his eyes without any scruples, but Wei Zheng was unmoved, although on the one hand, it shows that Wei Zheng's heart is as solid as a rock, but on the other hand, Wei Zheng's understanding of people is also very poor.

It's no wonder that he voted for Li Mi first, Li Mi was defeated, voted for Li Jiancheng, and Xuanwumen was ambushed, and even his own head almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Wei Chi Jingde persuaded Li Shimin's subordinates to show mercy, otherwise, Wei Zheng would really die for Li Jiancheng. All in all, Wei Zheng's vision of people is extremely bad. Fortunately, his luck was not bad, otherwise his name would not have occupied a trace of place in the history of later generations.

The noodles were served, Shi Qingyi took a sip, the taste was good, and he couldn't help but take a look at this small shop, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, the deliciousness of the food is not just the superposition of the types of seasonings, but the accurate mastery of the heat, so that the food releases its original taste, from this point of view, although this small shop is small, the master's craftsmanship is still above many famous chefs, Wei Zheng, you really know how to choose a place.

After eating noodles, Shi Qingyi also left, her destination is easy to find, although Xingyang City is dilapidated, but the prosperous place is still prosperous like a paradise on earth, Shi Qingyi quickly found the place he was looking for: a magnificent building.

Li Xiaoyun, the daughter of the Li family's side branch and the sister of Li Xiaogong, had to flee from Hedong to take refuge here because Li Valve's army in Taiyuan was implicated - this is the identity that Shi Qingyi arranged for himself, and it is absolutely genuine, even Li Valu himself will admit the identity, and the destination of her trip is not the Li family's property, but Chai Shao's family, the Chai family's jewelry store in Xingyang.

Like Li Valve, the Chai family is also a big family that does business in the times, but unlike Li Valve's messy distribution and no fist pillar industry, the Chai family's industry is mainly jewelry business, although the commodity is single, but it is extremely profitable, so that Li Yuan must marry his daughter to Chai Shao to maintain the connection with this rich family. Li and Chai are good friends, and the world knows that Shi Qingyi's pseudonym Li Xiaoyun is here to avoid trouble, but it is not noticeable. What's more, she is not just here to avoid trouble, in the identity of Li Xiaoyun played by Shi Qingyi, Li Xiaoyun is familiar with accounts, although it is to avoid trouble, but at the same time, she also came to Xingyang to check the income details of the Chai family here, and it is also because of this relationship, even if Shi Qingyi is not actually a member of the Chai family's business, but the person in charge of this place is responsive to her needs and has a respectful attitude. And Shi Qingyi also settled down here.

The Wagang army has Luokou, Liyang two granaries, the treasury is full, there is no shortage of food, but the treasures are scarce, Li Mi in order to reward the soldiers and even the treasures collected by the dragon head mansion dare to withhold, for this even intensified the contradiction with Zhai Rang, and therefore, for the Chai family such a behemoth in the jewelry industry, Li Mi is naturally desperate, even if Li Mi clearly knows that Li Yuan's march into Guanzhong is aimed at the world, but because of the relationship between the Chai and Li families, he did not dare to be angry, and even when he learned that the children of the Li family, When Li Xiaoyun came to Xingyang to check the accounts, Li Mi also diligently sent people to invite Shi Qingyi and invite Shi Qingyi to come over the house. Of course, because he is a side descendant of the Li family, the person sent to invite Shi Qingyi cannot be Shen Luoyan, Wang Bodang, Wei Zheng and other military and political tycoons, just an ordinary soldier.

Originally, for Li Mi, the big man, Shi Qingyi was still hesitant to visit him, although he was the strongest force at this time, but Shi Qingyi felt that more was better than less. However, since people have already invited him, it would be rude not to go, so Shi Qingyi accepted the invitation with a smile and responded to Li Mi's invitation.

Although Li Mi had a period of courage before, there is no doubt that Li Mi's career at this time was in full swing, so his mansion in Xingyang was just like his career at this time, splendid. Shi Qingyi saluted Li Mi as a junior, Li Mi was never humble, yes, Li Mi was invincible at this time, and the Wagang army was huge, even Li Yuan had to be humble in the face of Li Mi, he humbly called himself the eldest brother in the letter to Li Mi, and such a move undoubtedly fueled Li Mi's arrogance, and even Shi Qingyi, who was under the pseudonym Li Xiaoyun at this time, also looked like an elder.

Shi Qingyi was respectful on his face, but he was sneering in his heart, Li Mi was just a man in troubled times, although the prestige at this time was extremely strong, but the Central Plains of Henan was easy to attack and difficult to defend, such as the center of chess, it was the place of the four wars, Li Mi did not take advantage of his time when he had many soldiers and plenty of food, or advanced into Guanzhong, or went north to Hedong, Hebei, and occupied the quadrangular victory as the foundation, but he wanted to compete for Luoyang with Wang Shichong and other Sui Dynasty elites here. Every time Li Mi delays a little more time under Luoyang City, the shape of the world will be more unfavorable to him, but Li Mi is still at a loss, and he is complacent, he is really stupid and seeks his own death.

Or someone asked, when Yang Xuangan rebelled, Li Mi once offered advice to Yang Xuangan, the upper strategy was to advance into Liaodong and capture the Son of Heaven alive, the middle strategy was to enter Chang'an in the west, cut Guanzhong, and attack Luoyang nearby, but I was afraid that Luoyang would not be able to hold on, and once the reinforcements arrived, the consequences would be unimaginable. So, at this time, why didn't Li Mi use his previous strategy, but continued to use his own strategy to surround Luoyang?

On the eve of Li Yuan's army in Taiyuan, someone once made a statement to Li Mi, persuading him to go west to occupy Guanzhong and take advantage of the dangers in Guanzhong to form a foundation, but Li Mi's answer was that the Wagang army could not be defended without him at this time, and once he led the army to the west, the foundation of this place would have to be abandoned. In the end, Li Mi's idea was not adopted.

Is it true that the foundation of the Wagang Army in Henan would not work without Li Mi? Of course not, at least, there is no Li Mi for the time being, Zhai Rang can go out of the mountain, Xu Shiji is a good general, and he can also be given important tasks, the reason why Li Mi is not at ease to let one of the two guard Wagang is still Li Mi's body, he is a patient with persecution paranoia!

From the bottom of his heart, Li Mi didn't want to believe anyone, Zhai Rang, Shen Luoyan, and Xu Shiji were all like this, otherwise he wouldn't have fled to the Tang Dynasty in a panic after being defeated by Wang Shichong, instead of going to Xu Shiji, who was still holding on to Liyang. Because of his distrust, he will not hand over the army that he regards as his life to anyone, even if this trip will bring greater gains. It is no wonder that Mr. Wang Tong once commented on Li Mi, saying that he did not have the bearing of a son of heaven, nor did he have the strategy of a general, but just a hero in troubled times. However, Li Mi was not self-aware, and ridiculed Mr. Wang Tong for being a pedantic scholar, until in the end he was killed by random arrows, and his life reached the final end.

Of course, Shi Qingyi's face at this time will never show the slightest flaw, Li Mi is not related to her, and she is even more stubborn, and Shi Qingyi will not remind him so kindly. The reason why Li Mi met Shi Qingyi was just to send a friendly signal to Li Valve and the Chai family, and the identity of Shi Qingyi's pseudonym was not the point. After seeing this Li Xiaoyun's face, after Li Mi said some nonsense that was completely unnutritious as an elder, Shi Qingyi got up and said goodbye......
