Chapter 713: Zhao'an
North of Luoyang City, under the North Mountain.
Jinyong City.
This city is in the northwest corner of Luoyang City, it is only a small city, but the city is small and solid, and it is an important place to attack the enemy and defend it. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was one of the four towns in Henan.
This city was first built by Cao Pi on the basis of Luoyang City in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and has been more than 300 years after Cao Wei, Western Jin Dynasty, Northern Wei Dynasty, Zhou Sui and other dynasties.
At the beginning of the Northern Wei Dynasty's move to Luoyang, because the palace was not completed, it lived in this city for a period of time.
Because this city is close to the mountain in the north and Luoyang in the south, it has a very important position in the military, so Li Mi attacked Luoyang and swept the periphery, so he directly set up his base camp in this Jinyong city.
In the Temple of Light Poles.
Li Mi, the king of Wei of Qi, is looking at a map.
Since he and Meng Rang divided their troops to the north, it went very smoothly at first, connecting more than ten counties, but then Zhang Xutuo and Luo Gui counterattacked and recaptured the land occupied on the east bank of the canal.
All this was Zhu Cang's failure to follow the order, Zhu Cang abandoned Shandong and ran to Hebei, and finally he was defeated and died, not to mention, he lost the Shandong region.
His original plan was to go all out to take Luoyang first, and then turn back to fight Shandong.
But who knows, although Wang Shichong has lost three battles and three times under him, he is very tenacious. Defending Luoyang City, he actually blocked his attack.
After a few months, he captured all the periphery of Luoyang, making Luoyang an isolated city, but he still couldn't capture Luoyang.
However, Meng Rang, this straw bag, during this time, through his light, attacked the city in Huaixi, and now he is the emperor of the state according to the land of ten counties, called Emperor Qi.
This made Li Mi hold back a fire in his heart and wanted to have a seizure, but Luoyang City had not yet fallen, and it would be no good if he had a stalemate with Meng Rang at this time, but it would affect the morale of the army.
So he could only hold back his anger even more, when he Meng Rang was a so-called King of Wei.
And this King of Wei is not valuable, because Meng Rang has already been crowned dozens of kings, including his own brothers and nephews, and many grass cowards under his command, who have also been crowned kings, and he Li Mi is on a par with him.
Even, Li Mi only awarded the post of Metropolitan Governor of Henan Province in this Qi country, but on the contrary, those grass cowards were awarded many important positions such as Shangshu Ling, Left and Right Servants, Shizhong, Zhongshu Ling, Shangshu, etc., and even some guys were awarded the titles of Three Divisions and Three Princesses.
This made Li Mi even more dissatisfied, if it weren't for him Li Mi to make such a big noise in Henan, how could so many people cling to him Meng Rang?
Without him, Li Mi has been here to contain and attract the main force of the official army, and Meng Rang can be smooth sailing in Huaixi?
"My lord."
"A messenger came from Lujiang, saying that he was coming to deliver the decree by the emperor's order."
"Do you know what message you want to preach?" Li Mi raised his head and asked.
It is said that the emperor was very dissatisfied with the performance of the lord in Luoyang City for a long time, and some people in the court said that the lord was incompetent, so the emperor sent someone to take over the position of the lord to lead the army to attack Luoyang, and then recall the lord back to the court. It is said that he will confer the position of the lord and the general! ”
Li Mi couldn't help but laugh.
"Meng Rang this straw bag, is this trying to take away my military power? I don't know if I listened to the stupid advice of which straw bale! ”
His rebellious remarks did not surprise his subordinates.
In fact, the entire Qi State in Henan, and even the Wei Army, have something to do with the Qi Army in Huaixi, and they have always developed separately.
Later, Meng Rang was proclaimed emperor, and Li Mi only presented a congratulatory note.
What is ridiculous is that Meng Rang is already a little impatient to seize Li Mi's military power, wants to bring the 300,000 Wei troops in Henan under his command, and wants to include the eight counties of Henan under Li Mi's command into his territory.
"Without me Li Mi, Meng Rang can also be the emperor?" Li Mi said disdainfully.
Don't look at Meng Rang now, it seems to be very powerful, but it's just because he doesn't have any strong opponents in Huaixi, so he can be regarded as a loophole.
In terms of strength alone, Meng Rang's strength is average.
"My lord, why don't we get rid of them and stand on our own. The lord can also be called the emperor and the country, why should we give them faces everywhere? ”
Li Mi just smiled.
"Today, the emperor is called the twelfth and the anti-emperor eleven. Everyone is in a hurry to become the emperor, and it seems that he has a few counties and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, so he is anxious to live an emperor's addiction. But as everyone knows, people who really have strength and vision will not be in such a hurry. What good is it to be called emperor and king early? ”
Li Mi was not in a hurry to become emperor, and he didn't even leave Meng Rang, but he just didn't want to focus on these infighting, and the combination would benefit both sides, and the momentum was huge. At least, although Li Mi didn't get any reinforcements from Meng Rang before, at least Meng Rang would not make trouble with him before and would not threaten him from behind.
If he gets rid of Meng Rang early, he is afraid that Meng Rang will come to conquer him, and then he will have to beware of Meng Rang in the south.
But Meng Rang didn't understand this, this Luoyang City hadn't been captured yet, so he was in a hurry to seize power.
"Report!"
"My lord, there is a Sui army envoy outside, saying that he is from Jiangdu, and he is here to give the lord a reward."
Li Mi was a little surprised.
"Jiang wants to give me a reward?"
"Mistaken, right?"
"It's better to let them come over, but listen to it, there is something strange."
After the envoy came all the way to Jinyong City and read the emperor's edict to Li Mi.
Not only Li Mi was stunned, but even the generals of the Wei army, such as Wang Bodang, were also confused.
They rebelled for so long, seized the land of the eight counties in Henan, and besieged the eastern capital Luoyang City. As a result, now the emperor has instead sent someone to crown Li Mi as Shangshuling, Taiwei, and Wei Guogong, and also awarded him as Shangshuling of the Southeast Dao.
"Hahaha!"
Li Mi laughed for a while, and tears of laughter came out.
He remembered that in the past, when Yang Guangchu succeeded to the throne, he was still young at that time, and he used his father's door to enter the personal guard as a seven-rank guard, and worked as an errand in the palace.
As a result, the emperor asked Yuwenshu to drive him out of the Qinwei Mansion because he didn't keep his head down like the other guards, because he looked up a few more times.
He remembered that he accompanied Yang Xuangan to raise troops, but he fled after the defeat, and remembered the two years of incognito life.
Now, he is besieging Luoyang, but the emperor wants to make him a lieutenant and a scholar, and the southeast road is a great hangtai scholar, which is really ironic.
I used to be your bodyguard, but you ignored me, and now I rebelled against you, and you will come to reward me.
"Lord, this faint monarch is really dizzy, he actually came to give us an edict, which onion and which bird is he? Come on, beat this person down! A Wei general said.
"Wait!"
Li Mi waved his hand to stop his subordinates.
He got up and straightened his clothes.
Then he went to the messenger, bowed his hand, and took the decree.
"Minister Li Mi received the decree, thank you for the emperor's reward!"
Li Mi received the order.
All the Wei generals in the hall were dumbfounded, and even Li Mi's student Wang Bodang didn't expect that Li Mi was actually recruited.
