Chapter 4: Eight Grievances

"Defection?" Cheng Mingzhen and Wang Ermao looked at each other. What kind of courage does it take to do this? The morale of the Luoyang army must have been greatly depressed on the spot, and the personal reputation of those who defected before the battle may also plummet at the same time!

Seeing the stunned eyes of Cheng Mingzhen, Wang Ermao and others, Cheng Zhijie shook his head with a smile, "It's better to do something that can't be done than to listen to the enemy's shouts every day." The rest, it doesn't matter so much! ”

"At least, I'll give a bad breath to my dead brother!" Wu Heimin leaned forward and interjected in a low voice.

"If you want to say that the culprit who destroyed Wagangzhai, why can't it be Wang Shichong's turn?!" I don't know what to do with the other party, Wang Ermao didn't have a good face when he saw Wu Heimin.

"Of course. The account needs to be counted in one stroke! Wu Heimin's face held back a red cloud, gritted his teeth, and responded in a low voice.

"Really? That's not easy for you! "Wang Ermao is unforgiving, and continues to press step by step." teamed up with Zhang Liang to force Xiao Xie to hand over power, and you participated? Instigated Zhou Wenli, Wang Dangren and other foreign camp generals not to listen to Xu Sange's orders, and you also have your share? I left early, and I didn't see the scene of Li Mi's usurpation of power with my own eyes. If you weren't there at the time, you wouldn't believe it! ”

"You ......" Wu Heimin was trembling as a few people, and rushed forward with his fists clenched. As Wang Ermao said, as one of Li Mi's descendant generals, he has personally participated in many conspiracies. The last thing he wants to hear people talk about now is his past experiences. Every time I hear it, my heart hurts like I have been stabbed with a knife.

"What's wrong with me, trying to kill me?" Wang Ermao sneered, and his hand held the handle of the knife again.

Seeing that the eyes of both sides began to fire again, Cheng Zhijie hurriedly walked half a step sideways, blocked in front of Wu Heimin, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, Brother Wang, be merciful." Kuroko, don't just get on fire. Back then, you were under Li Mi, and it was really annoying. Brother Wang said a few words, and there was no less than a piece of meat. Manly man, since you have done something wrong, are you still afraid that the number of people will fall? ”

"What about me, where is Dou Jiande?" Wu Heimin muttered a sentence and stepped aside.

"Brother Wang, what a sharp mouth!" persuaded Wu Heimin to retreat, Cheng Zhijie gently arched his hand at Wang Ermao, "You don't have to squeeze the sunspots, Cheng Mou is indeed here to rob and kill Li Mi this time." If you can treat it as if you didn't see us, Cheng will be grateful! ”

was pierced by Cheng Zhijie's words, and Wang Ermao didn't feel that his face was hot. Hehe laughed a few times and continued to add, "Do I think too? In this barren mountain and wild mountains, Fourth Brother Cheng will not come out to see the scenery. Although the fourth brother is relieved, the Wagang brothers had a life-saving grace for Wang back then, and when Wang went out of the mountain, he immediately forgot that today's experience was! ”

After that, he quietly glanced at Cheng Mingzhen, and motioned for the other party to bid farewell to the Wagang group with him. Cheng Mingzhen shook his head with a smile, and said with a smile, "Fourth Brother Cheng is a cheerful person, and we can't go in a daze." To tell you the truth......" After a pause, he gently arched his hand to Cheng Zhijie, "We are also here with the same purpose." But I didn't expect to be half a step ahead of Fourth Brother Cheng! ”

"You're also here to rob and kill Li Mi?" Cheng Zhijie was stunned and asked hesitantly.

"He's the same brother as me. But Shizun was forced by him to have nowhere to stay! Cheng Mingzhen nodded solemnly, "Therefore, Cheng must rush to clean the door for Shizun before he becomes an official in the same dynasty!" ”

Hearing this, Cheng Zhijie was relieved, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Say it earlier!" It made me worry for a long time. Do you want to come along, or I'll clean things up for you! ”

"It is an honor for us to be able to fight side by side with Wagang heroes." Cheng Mingzhen nodded and responded with a smile.

The heroes of Wagang originally formed a semicircle, and they were ready to kill people if they didn't say a word. At this moment, when he heard that Cheng Mingzhen was going to take Brother Zhaozhou to do business with everyone, he immediately relaxed his guard and jumped off his mount with a smile. Some people rushed forward to greet Cheng Mingzhen and Wang Ermao, while others took out wine and dried meat and asked Wang Fei, Zhang Jin and other brothers to share.

In the middle of the excitement, Qin Shubao, Luo Shixin, Luo Cheng and others had already come to the front, jumped off their mounts, and greeted everyone enthusiastically. Wang Ermao pushed Luo Cheng forward, and scolded with a smile: "You still recognize us? I thought you had forgotten all about everyone when you became a colt? ”

"How dare you, how dare you!" Luo Cheng felt ashamed, and begged for mercy with a smiling face, "Luo's life was saved by you, how dare you forget the life-saving benefactor." Later, the reason why I didn't contact it was because I knew that Dou Jiande was small-minded and afraid of harming everyone. ”

"Just say! You've got a good mouth anyway! Wang Ermao smiled, shook his head and said.

"It's really not nonsense, otherwise the sky will thunder!" Luo Cheng smiled and raised his hand to swear, and then quickly diverted the topic, "Brother Cheng, have you finally switched to using a knife now?" Presumably the martial arts have been completed! ”

"I guess not yet!" Cheng Mingzhen shook his head lightly, "After you leave, no one will guide me." The rest are groping around behind closed doors, so I don't know if the martial arts have entered the country! ”

"Brother has studied martial arts with you?" Cheng Zhijie looked at Luo Cheng and interjected with a smile: "I said, I feel familiar when I see your weapon." I'm afraid the tricks that my brother taught you are not a good way to come? ”

"I learned it from a stealer on the battlefield. I couldn't use it myself, so I transferred it to Brother Cheng! Luo Cheng nodded and admitted calmly. "His territory at that time was next to Boling, and I was afraid that he would suffer a loss in the fight!" ”

"You kid, you have a bad stomach!" Cheng Zhijie shook his head with a smile. "If the matter is over here, I will ask Brother Cheng for a few tricks. Do you know how to enter the country? The one in the north, I was fortunate enough to fight with him back then, and I know a little bit about his skills! ”

"Then there is Brother Lao Cheng!" Knowing that the Wagangzhai brothers are all cheerful people, Cheng Mingzhen will not shirk.

Just as he was talking lively, Qin Shubao cleared his throat and said in a low voice: "Everyone listen to me, there is time to do other things." The imperative is ......."

"Isn't it just robbing and killing Li Mi? I've already told Brother Cheng that he's here for this! Cheng Zhijie was happy in his heart and interjected very happily.

"That's not it!" Qin Shubao is nearly two rounds older than everyone else, so his vision of the problem is far more important than that of everyone, "There is a pipeline sandwiched between two hills here, and the terrain is indeed suitable for trading. But since we and the brothers of the Zhaozhou camp want to go together, I'm afraid that others will not be blind. Li Mina has been in the green forest for many years, and his ability to escape for his life has always been one of the best. Once one and a half of his people escape, I will inevitably run into big trouble. So, I think ......"

Saying this, his eyes slowly turned to the side of the Yuzhou camp. Seeing this, Cheng Mingzhen immediately hugged his fists and promised, "Please ask Second Brother Qin to preside, and the Zhaozhou Battalion and Wagang Haojie will advance and retreat together!" ”

"Thank you, Brother Zhaozhou!" Qin Shubao returned the favor, "Since this is the case, Qin will trespass once." ”

After that, he instructed the officials, reassigned the personnel to various places, agreed on the contact signal, and made sure to wipe out Li Mi and his minions.

The arrangement has just ended, and before everyone can split up. Not far away, there was a sudden melodious birdsong, "Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo". Immediately after, he ran past a man with wicker sticking to the turf, and stood solemnly at Qin Shubao, "Report, new situation!" ”

"Say, no outsiders!" Qin Shubao waved generously.

"Wang Junkuo led five hundred cavalry, personally chased Li Mi, and escorted him over the mountain!" The scout, who looked like a wicker basket, took a breath and whispered, "It's more than four miles away from here, and you can see it when you turn a corner!" And ....... around."

"Dog thief!" Without waiting for the scout to finish speaking, Cheng Zhijie threw a punch and smashed the small tree with a thick bowl mouth next to him into two pieces. "It's this immature white-eyed wolf who is getting in the way, I should have slashed him with a knife!"

Five hundred cavalry, it is certainly impossible to be all wiped out. As for the matter of robbing and killing the imperial court officials in disguise as a ringing horse, as long as the slightest rumor is leaked, after the truth is found out by the imperial court, the participants may have to give Li Mi a funeral. Although Li Mi himself was dispensable to the Tang Dynasty, his status as the Duke of the Criminal State made it impossible for the court to turn a blind eye to this matter.

Just as he was hesitating, a pleasant birdsong came from the hillside in the distance. As the birdsong approached, another scout covered in willow branches showed his figure from the grass color, "Report, Second Brother Qin, Wang Junkuo sent fifty cavalry to shout in front of the mountain, using a green forest incision!" ”

"What do they want to say?" This time, not only Uncle Qin Baoleng, but also Cheng Mingzhen and Wang Ermao were also confused.

"They ......." The scout hesitated for a moment, and now that an accomplice was also there, he lowered his voice and said: "What they want to show through the incision in the rivers and lakes is that if there is someone nearby who is seeking revenge, please give him a face and let Li Mi pass." Afterwards, he will definitely give everyone a satisfactory explanation! ”

"Bullshit!" Wu Heimin was so angry that he gritted his teeth. "If he hadn't sacrificed Hanoi County to the Tang Dynasty first, Li Mi would not have been in chaos. At this time, he came to be a good person again, who knows what the hell he wanted! ”

"Although Wang Junkuo is overly clever, he is not a person who tends to be inflammatory!" Qin Shubao thought for a moment and shook his head slightly, "Since he sent guards to open the way in advance, and shouted around with the incisions in the rivers and lakes. I guess I'm going to make a move. Let him go, and that's the end of the robbery and killing of Li Mi! ”

"That's it?" Cheng Zhijie was not satisfied, and asked with a frown.

"I can't figure out why Wang Junkuo did this?" Qin Shubao glanced at everyone and shook his head apologetically, "According to common sense, Li Mi is a fallen prince, and there is no need for Wang Junkuo to rush to pat his ass." Besides, I waited for a group to ask for leave to go out, although King Qin didn't ask me what I was going to do, he might not be able to guess a rough idea. Kill Li Mi, he can pretend not to know. If Wang Junkuo is done with him, I'm afraid that King Qin won't be able to take care of everyone! ”

Although it has not been long since he defected to the Tang Dynasty, the image of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, who is generous and courageous, has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the heroes of Wagang. They didn't want to cause trouble for King Qin because of their momentary recklessness. I don't want my family to be implicated.

Therefore, although everyone's hearts were full of unwillingness, they had to nod and admit that Qin Shubao's words were correct. Cheng Zhijie sighed and said to Cheng Mingzhen: "I wanted to fight side by side with my brother, but I didn't expect to be inserted. I'm sorry, if there is a chance in the future, Cheng will make amends! ”

"It's worth the trip to meet so many heroes!" Cheng Mingzhen smiled and arched his hand, "He has a free day, please come to the party to talk!" ”

Also as a force that has recently been attached to the Tang Dynasty, the generals of Wagang have a lot of sympathy for the generals of the Zhaozhou battalion. Politely to each other, they walked down the hill together, and gave way to Wang Junkuo for the nearby dangerous places and official roads.

A moment later, Wang Junkuo personally led five hundred elite cavalry to protect Li Mi as he roared past. The whole army rode a Turkic horse, majestic and murderous. Li Mi, Zhang Liang, and Jia Runfu were escorted in the center of the team, triumphant, and invincible. It's just that the moment he passed by the previous hiding place of the Wagang heroes, Li Mi's smile seemed to freeze, but he quickly regained his smugness.

"I'm afraid Li Mi won't survive this fall!" When the smoke and dust raised by the cavalry dissipated, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Cheng Zhijie's mouth, and he muttered in an almost inaudible voice.

"What did Brother Cheng say?" Not far away, Cheng Mingzhen had just horseed, and when he heard this, he suddenly realized in his heart, turned his mount around, and asked in a low voice.

"Cheng is still too stupid. Second Brother Qin is not smart enough. General Cheng, you are very famous, but you are actually a fool! Cheng Zhijie smiled, flew up and jumped on the mount, and the frustration caused by the failure to rob and kill Li Mi was swept away.

This time, almost everyone heard it. They looked at each other, fast or slow, and laughed happily. In the laughter, everyone waved goodbye, divided into two waves, and galloped away from the south to the north.

"What are they happy about?" Wang Fei reacted slowly, and muttered softly after following Cheng Mingzhenma. "Stupid is stupid, who is much smarter than whom?"

"We're stupid, especially you!" Cheng Mingzhen glanced at him and scolded with a smile.

"Who am I messing with again?" Wang Fei was stunned and touched his head in protest.

"If you want to go, no one is allowed to tell him!" Cheng Mingzhen clamped the horse's back and galloped quickly on the official road. The warm spring breeze blows through the treetops, and the green waves are undulating, which is refreshing.

He was taught another lesson today.

Why use a knife to kill?

Half a month later, Xu Maogong, who owned Liyang, dedicated the thousands of miles of fertile land occupied by Liyangcang and the remnants of Wagang, east to the sea, south to the Yangtze River, west to Ruzhou, and north to Wei County, all in the name of Li Mi to the Tang Dynasty. And in front of the imperial court, he said that he had previously guarded the land for Li Mi, but now that the lord had surrendered, he did not dare not follow him.

When Li Yuan heard this, he sighed: "Xu Maogong does not forget the old master, and he is really a pure minister!" "The decree gave Xu Mao the surname of the principality, and crowned him as the general of the right Wuhou, the general of Liyang, and the prince of Laiguo. Named his father Xu Gai as the king of Shu. The father and son were in the limelight for a while.

After a few more months, Li Mi rebelled and was killed. Xu Maogong and Wang Jun outlined the imperial court, and the two sought Li Mi's corpse and buried him.

There will be no more tile hills in the world.
