35,Chapter 5 The Relationship between Li Mi and Wang Shichong (2)

Li Mi, a shrewd old fox, naturally saw Wang Shichong's fancy intestines, seeing that he was in power in the Luoyang Dynasty, of course he refused to enter the court, he was too lazy to tear X with him in the middle of the court for a day, and it was the right thing to rest in Kim Yong City, the base of the Wagang Army.

Wang Shichong saw it in his eyes and planned it in his heart, ready to take advantage of Li Mi's exhaustion to launch an attack and completely knock him down. Wang Shichong selected more than 20,000 elite soldiers and 2,000 horses, and stationed troops in the south of Tongji Canal (now in Mengxian County, Henan), and built a pontoon bridge over the Luoshui River to prepare for another battle.

Li Mi learned that Wang Shichong was determined to destroy him, and was preparing to take advantage of his danger to kill him, so he naturally couldn't be idle and had to deal with it.

At the meeting to discuss the operation, Pei Renji, a famous general of the Wagang Army, said: "Now that Luoyang is empty, we should directly lead our troops to attack Luoyang, so that Wang Shichong will be exhausted, so that we can easily defeat him." ”

Wei Zheng said: "We should recuperate, fully prepare for battle, and wait for the enemy to attack, and then give a head-on blow." ”

Most of the other generals' advice was to go straight to the battle.

Li Mi adopted the plan of most of the generals and directly faced the battle, Pei Renji strongly persuaded him to adopt his plan, and his saliva was dry, Li Mi was unmoved, and moreover, at this time, Li Mi was proud and complacent, no longer sympathetic to the soldiers, and there was no savings in the treasury, and he no longer distributed the spoils to the soldiers, and he had been separated from morality internally. Moreover, he had just defeated Yu Wenhua, and he despised Wang Shichong more and more, so he only made simple personnel arrangements: leaving Wang Bo to guard the base camp of Kim Yong City, Xu Shichang to guard Liyang, personally led the elite soldiers out of Yanshi (now Yanshidong, Henan), and set up a formation at the southern foot of Bishan to meet Wang Shichong.

- Li Mi did not admit it at all, nor did he have the slightest sense of urgency.

Li Mi was stationed at the head of the north mountain of Yanshi, and he thought that Wang Shichong was a stupid melon, and it was easy to chop up this melon, and he would not build a barrier or fortification, and he would commit it at will, as long as he came, he would cut him into pieces.

Li Mi reported that he was facing the battle with such a light enemy mentality, he was really full of confidence, and he was about to overflow.

Wang Shichong sent more than 300 cavalry into Beishan quietly at night, and ambushed in the valley without knowing it, and the ghosts and gods did not know, and Li Mi, who was taken lightly, did not know that the devil was approaching him.

Wang Shichong ordered all the soldiers and horses to be fed, the people to eat well, and officially beat Li Mi at dawn.

In the morning, Wang Shichong went to war, and Li Mi was defenseless.

Li Mi hurriedly sent troops to fight, and before the formation could be placed, the two sides began to tear up.

Wang Shichong's cavalry was condescending, shouting "rush" at the top of their voices, rushing to Li Mi's camp without barriers, and setting fire to his military camp.

Li Mi's team fled in all directions like a swarm of ants scattered by water.

Li Mi's generals Zhang Tongren and Chen Zhiluo, Shan Xiongxin spared their lives and surrendered to Wang Shichong. Dozens of generals, including Pei Renji and Zu Junyan, were captured.

This time, two men who didn't spare anyone fought each other, and it was time for Wang Shi to be angry.

Li Mi led the remnants of more than 10,000 soldiers to flee into the desert, preparing to retreat to Luokoucang (now northeast of Gongxian County, Henan)

Wang Shichong took advantage of the victory to attack Yanshi, and the soldiers of Zheng Kun, the guard of Wagang in Yanshi, secretly rebelled and dedicated the city to Wang Shichong.

On the way back to Luokou Cangcheng, Li Mi found Wang Shichong's troops following him and ready to attack him at any time.
