Chapter 8 The Overlord of One Party

got rid of Liu Changgong, making Cheng Biting Jin sullen for several days. Although this Liu Changgong is not a big official in the imperial court, but he is rich in wealth, and this time he can be the commander of the crusade against the Wagang Army, which is to donate a large amount of silver taels to the imperial court, and buy off Duan Da and Yuan Wendu, who are in charge of the imperial court. Cheng Yanjin wanted to catch this Liu Changgong and knock him out of a ransom money, but unfortunately he only cared about killing the enemy at that time, but he delayed this stubble.

is completely different from Cheng Yanjin's depression, and the entire Wagang Army is full of joy. Most of the officers and soldiers who came to attack were all annihilated, and only the commander Liu Changgong fled back to the eastern capital with a few personal guards. All the weapons, armor, food and materials of the officers and soldiers were all seized by the Wagang Army. This battle made the prestige of the Wagang Army far-reaching, from the south of the sky to the north of the earth, and even the border barbarians heard of the Wagang army.

On this day, more than a dozen leading generals of the Wagang Army were sitting in the tent drinking and having fun. Killing Zhang Xutuo, breaking Xingluocang, and defeating Liu Changgong, all happened after Li Mi went to Wagang. And with the continuous victory, there are more and more people under his hands, and the benefits are naturally more and more. Therefore, when the wine was drunk, these generals began to praise Li Mi one by one, and praised Pushan Gong as rare in the sky and unparalleled on earth!

Seeing that everyone was almost drunk, Cheng Yanjin stood up, "Everyone, if you want to say that we can have today's majesty, but it is all the credit of Mi Gong, who is rarely convinced in his life, but he respects Mi Gong very much." You can't forget your roots, and you can't forget the benefits of Migong!

As the saying goes, 'the snake can't do without a head, and the bird can't fly without wings', although our Wagang Army is nominally under the jurisdiction of Zhai Rang's commander, but every time the battle is the secret prince to give advice, you can understand that the Wagang army can have today's grand occasion, and the secret prince is great, and we want to make a great cause, but it is not possible without the secret prince!

Everyone, don't forget, the prophecy of the true dragon Son of Heaven that circulated in the world a few days ago, judging from the current situation, shouldn't it be on Mi Gong? Therefore, in the next proposal, please ask Mi Gong to be the lord of the Wagang army, lead everyone to open the country and secure the country, and enjoy the glory and wealth of a lifetime! ”

As soon as Cheng Yanjin's words fell, there was chaos in the camp tent. Although the Wagang Army is nominally the leader of Zhai Rang, it has been Li Mi who has been giving orders during this time, and Zhai Rang has completely become an ornament. Although all the leaders also knew that it would not be a solution to go on like this for a long time, the position of the leader was an extremely sensitive topic, and no matter which side they supported, they would offend the other, so the old foxes sitting there were all silent.

And now Cheng Biting Jin said it through the wine, and immediately put Zhai Rang in an awkward position, but those generals were encouraged by Cheng Biting Jin's words, where could they still notice his look. The sentence of the "Tao Li Zhang" came from the mouth of the monks, and in view of the Taoist gods and ghosts, the leaders were convinced.

Now when they heard Cheng Yanjin mention this, everyone suddenly woke up, yes, following Mi Gong, he will be the founder of the country in the future, glorious and rich, and will be for generations to come, how can such a good thing be missed? So one by one they hurriedly stood up to show their loyalty, for fear of being one step behind others.

Seeing Li Mi humble there, Zhai Rang suddenly felt bitter water in his stomach, he thought that Wen Taowu was far inferior to Li Mi, and now it was difficult to control a team of hundreds of thousands of horses, but he was unwilling to let him give up the original position of leader. It's just that most of the leaders in the camp are now inclined to support Li Mi, and even the few people who are close to him are silent, so what does he use to compete with Li Mi?

In desperation, Zhai Rang had no choice but to join the ranks of persuasion, and proposed that Li Mi be the big leader, lead hundreds of thousands of Wagang troops, and be called the prince! Li Miqian gave in again and again, and only after the persuasion of everyone did he accept the suggestions of the leaders.

Just when all the leaders were scrambling to flatter Li Mi, Cheng Yanjin, who caused all this, sat there without saying a word. The biggest credit has been taken up by him, and he has to drink soup for others to eat meat, so Cheng Yanjin watched with peace of mind at the relationship between those slow-witted generals and Li Mi.

I can't complain that Cheng Yanjin looks down on these generals in his heart, at this banquet, Li Mi actually arranged his seat at the top, but Zhai Rang sat on the left hand side, just by looking at this, I know what Li Mi thinks now. What's more, when everyone was drinking and chatting just now, Li Mi cut off Zhai Rang's words several times, and asked Zhai Rang to toast in the form of orders, Li Mi's mind can be said to be 'Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it!' ’

However, these leaders here either pretended to be stupid and pretended not to know, or they were really stupid and didn't know the situation, and as a result, none of them came out to support Li Mi. In desperation, Cheng Yanjin had no choice but to stand up. Anyway, this Zhai Rang has already offended him, and he doesn't care about this time.

What's more, Cheng Yanjin has other plans in his heart, there are many armors in the trophies captured from this victory over Liu Changgong, but they are all of the best quality, the quality is good, and the appearance is also very beautiful, Cheng Yanjin has already made up his mind, but because there are many people who are hot in this batch of armor, Li Mi has not made up his mind about how to distribute it for a while.

Now that Cheng Biting Jin has done Li Mi such a big favor, then when distributing these armors another day, Li Mi can't think of Cheng Biting Jin or not! If it weren't for this reason, even if Li Mi was anxious to die, Cheng Yanjin would not stand up and say a good word to him.

With the unanimous support of all the leaders, Li Mi immediately acted resolutely. So, on the 19th of February, the Wagang army set up an altar in Xingluocang to pray to heaven. Subsequently, Li Mi announced that he would be the commander, punish the blood, change the Yuan Yongping, and grant amnesty to the world.

Seeing Li Mi busy there, a smile rose in Cheng Yanjin's heart. This Li Mi was in such a hurry, as if he was afraid that Zhai Rang would change his mind. But in the end, he is a capable person, this set of sets, and it looks quite like that! Duke Wei, this is Cao Cao's former honorific name. Now, Li Mi actually calls himself Wei Gong, obviously wanting to follow Wei Wu's feat back then and create an earth-shattering feat, right?

After the salute was completed, Li Mi immediately wrote to the world, calling the Marshal's Mansion of the March, and the three divisions and six guards were set up under the Duke of Wei's Mansion as Li Mi's private soldiers. The Marshal's Mansion set up official posts below the rank of chief, which were under the command of Li Mijiedu. At the same time, Li Mi also worshiped Zhai Rang as the Shangzhu State, Situ Gong, and Dongjun Gong, and could also set up officials below the chief official, but the number was halved compared with the Marshal's Mansion.

After sealing Zhai Rang, it was the turn of the leaders of all directions. Li Feng Shan Xiongxin is the general of the left Wuhou, Xu Maogong is the general of the right Wuhou, and the soldiers and horses of each consulate are in charge. He also ordered Fang Yanzao to be the marshal's left chief, Li Gongyi to be the right chief, and so on. Other chiefs and generals have been prostrated.

As for Cheng Yanjin, who helped Li Mi a lot, Li Mi did not disrupt and reorganize the men and horses under him like he did with other leaders, but allowed Cheng Yanjin to continue to lead the gang that belonged to him. At the same time, in order to win over Cheng Yanjin, Li Mi named Cheng Yanjin's department as the Inner Army Hussar, which was specifically responsible for protecting Li Mi's personal safety.

After this toss, the rebels south of Zhao Wei and north of Jianghuai responded one after another, and elected Li Mi as the leader of the alliance, and the heroes of the Quartet such as the Luohu Donkey Thief, Zhang Qingte of Jibei, Li Wenxiang of Wei County, Wei Liu'er of Huaiyang, Li Shicai of Changping, and Xianbo of Jiyin Fang all led the rebels to surrender. Among them, in order to repay Li Mi, Cheng Yanjin also introduced Li Mi to a green forest hero, he is Meng Rang.

Meng Rang, a native of Qi County, is a fellow countryman of Cheng Biting Jin. He started his career in the ninth year of the Great Cause, and later joined forces with Wang Bo of Changbai Mountain. When Wang Bo was defeated by Zhang Xu Camel at the foot of Mount Tai and arrested at the same time as Wang Bo, he was one of the people rescued by Cheng Yanjin. Later, Wang Bo fled north, while Meng Rang stayed in the Salt Gang for a while before finding another way out to the south.

After Meng Rang entered the Duliang Palace, he also asked Cheng Yanjin for help. With the support of Cheng Biting Jin's large sum of gold and silver, Meng Rang made a comeback, with more than 100,000 followers. Later, he was surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court, but because of carelessness, he was defeated by Wang Shichong, who was the then Jiangdu Juncheng. Meng Rang's more than 100,000 troops were all wiped out, and he fled to Qingzhou with only a dozen personal guards to take refuge in Cheng Biting Jin.

Meng Rang's attachment made Li Mi overjoyed, although Meng Rang only brought a few retinues when he came, but he was sealed by Li as the chief administrator, the prince of Qi County. The reason why Li Mi treats Meng Rang so well is because Meng Rang was also the overlord of one side, and now he has taken refuge in him, which can be used as an example, like the people of the world to announce his Li Mi's attitude, luring those overlords who occupy one side to come to take refuge, and through this matter, the name of Wagang Army and his Li Mi can be raised to a height that others cannot reach.

The reward of Meng Rang did have a very outstanding effect, and the people who defected to the Wagang Army returned to the sea in an endless stream, and the power of the Wagang Army soon expanded to nearly one million people. In order to facilitate his command, Li Mi set up a hundred battalions and registered them with each battalion. At the same time, because there were too many people who came to vote, the original Xingluocang City could no longer accommodate it, so Li Mi asked the protector Tian Maoguang to build a Luokou City with a radius of 40 miles nearby, as the base camp of the Wagang military regime.

With the aftermath of defeating Liu Changgong, the Wagang army began to attack in all directions, sweeping through the nearby counties. Soon, Anlu, Runan, Huai'an, Jiyang, Gongxian and other counties became the pockets of the Wagang army. In this way, around Xingluocang, the one who can still pose some threats to the Wagang Army is Pei Renji, who is entrenched in the Baihua Valley in the southeast of Gongxian County.

On this day, Li Mi gathered all his generals to discuss countermeasures against Pei Renji. After all, Pei Renji is a veteran of the battlefield, and the Tiger Prison Legion under his command is an elite, so he was put by Li Mi in the final solution.

Hearing that the people in the camp were discussing how to attack Pei Renji in the Valley of Hundred Flowers, Cheng Yanjin immediately made a mistake in his heart, his cousin Qin Qiong also followed Pei Renji out this time, and was trapped in the Valley of Hundred Flowers. Li Mi is so good to himself, there is no reason to hold him back.

When Cheng bit Jin, he stood up, "Mi Gong, that Pei Renji's men and horses are extremely elite, if we fight him, I'm afraid that we will lose a lot." On the contrary, if we can win him over, it will also be a great help for us. Cheng is not talented, and is willing to be a lobbyist to go to the Valley of Hundred Flowers! If it doesn't work out, and then attack, what does Mi Gong think? ”

"Oh, is Leader Cheng sure?" Li Mi asked, Li Mi, who had fought against the imperial court, knew very well how terrible the combat effectiveness of the so-called elite legion was, and if it could be defeated without a fight, it would naturally be the best.

"Whether you succeed or not, you have to try to know!"

"Since that's the case, then you go and try it first, if that Pei Renji doesn't know how to lift, let's launch an army to destroy him!"
