In front of Daikai Temple.

Li Mi rode slowly past the captured officers and soldiers.

"Duke Wei, I still haven't been able to find Zhang Xutuo."

Li Mi snorted coldly.

He already knew that the tall and thin veteran who was dressed in Zhang Xutuo's clothes and armor and carried the battle flag and never fell until he died was Xingyang Juncheng, Zhang Xutuo's right-hand man, and his old brother.

Killing a county is a good gain, but it can't calm his anger.

In this battle, he defeated Zhang Xutuo, beheaded more than 5,000 officers and soldiers, and captured more than 4,000 prisoners.

It can be said that almost all of Zhang Xutuo's army was annihilated, but it was only almost. At least Zhang Xutuo has not seen anyone alive or dead.

"What to do with these captives? Kill them all? Wu Guogong Zhu Cang asked.

Li Mi's gaze swept over the captives.

They fought without retreating until Zhang Xutuo was killed, and they were all captured.

But up to now, none of these people will surrender.

"Untie their hands and feet, and give them rice and soup, it is estimated that they are all tired at this time." Li Mi said something surprising.

"Handsome? These dog officers and soldiers killed more than 10,000 of our brothers and gave them soup and rice? ”

But Li Mi didn't bother to pay attention to Zhu Cang.

These soldiers are very brave, Li Mi has personally understood them, especially their fighting spirit on the battlefield is extremely strong, even if they are besieged to such a point, they still do not surrender.

But if the soldiers and horses under his command today can have half of their fighting spirit, they will not fight for so long and suffer such a big loss.

Li Mi waited until the more than 4,000 captives had eaten before he came to persuade them to surrender.

In fact, his words of persuasion were very simple, there was no intimidation, no persecution. He just told these people who had closed the ghost door for a trip, such as today, the emperor is mediocre, blindly rejoicing in great achievements, inconsiderate of the people, tyrannical and unreasonable, and the people of the world have suffered for a long time.

He Li Mi was not a rebellion, but an uprising.

It is to lead the people of the world to overthrow the tyrannical Sui, save the people in the world, restore peace in the world, and make the people stable.

What's the point of continuing to follow the faint king?

Now that the whole world has risen up against the faint monarch and tyranny, do you still have to work for them?

But even if you work hard for the faint king, will the faint gentleman thank everyone?

"You have traveled thousands of miles to Yanmen to rescue the driver, Yang Guangke has a little thanks? As far as I know, instead of rewarding the soldiers who went to King Qin, he killed more than 10,000 of the soldiers who wanted to be rewarded. This is Yang Guang, a faint king, a tyrant, he is not worthy of your protection. ”

"I, Li Mi, was also a member of the Eight Pillars Country, and I have read the book of sages since I was a child, and I was originally a prince and nobleman, a famous lord, and I can be described as rich and noble, and I enjoy it inexhaustibly. But why do I insist on rebelling? Not for individuals, just to restore peace in the world. ”

Li Mi's eloquence is very good, and he didn't say too many empty words.

He directly told these people that if everyone joined him in overthrowing the tyrannical Sui and establishing a new dynasty, then everyone would be the founder of the country.

As long as you join him, you can first get Junda.

100 acres of land per person, if there is still a family member in the family, as long as it is successful, it will be 100 acres per person. The middle-aged men who have not yet become Ding are also given fifty acres. Even the wife was given fifty acres of land.

When it comes to it, we will never deduct it.

In addition, everyone who joins him will receive the status of a soldier.

This means that not only will they be given a piece of land, but it will also be a military field that will not require rent and transfer.

Since the implementation of the government military system, the Wei, Zhou and Sui dynasties, it is not easy to be a soldier, and being a soldier has many tangible benefits, not only can you get a full amount of land, but also can have a good way out.

At this time, as a government soldier, just like the scholars of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the government soldiers had the opportunity to obtain meritorious service through war, and the Ming and Qing scholars were able to become officials through the imperial examination.

This is a truth for ordinary people to change their fate, and it may even be the only way, after all, although there is a imperial examination at this time, it has nothing to do with ordinary people.

In normal years, ordinary people would not be able to serve as government soldiers.

But now, the Wei army that joined Li Mi, they are government soldiers, and they can grant land and land.

"Soon, we will be able to break through Luoyang and sweep Henan, and then your hometown will be able to restore peace and tranquility, and you will soon be able to get the land in your hometown."

Join the Wei army, everything is not to blame.

And to refuse, is death.

Li Mi swore to them again, promising that it was all true.

Many government soldiers were tempted.

Although they are already soldiers of the imperial court, once the imperial court is in turmoil now, maybe it will be gone one day. The biggest difference is that after ordering the government soldiers, they did not get enough land, and most of them only divided twenty or thirty acres of land, but they still had to bring their own weapons.

Again, today's government soldiers are too dangerous.

The vast majority of people are silent, hesitating.

There are also a small number of people scolding Li Mi.

Most of these people are Zhang Xutuo's old subordinates.

Li Mi waved his hand coldly.

So they came, dragged them all out, and slew them one by one in front of the captives.

Kill more than a hundred of them.

"Don't be like them, think about it, you have to think about not only yourself, but also your family, your wife and daughter, and your parents, think about them. Why bother to accompany the burial of the tyrannical Sui! ”

Finally.

Many people were moved.

They expressed their willingness to join.

Li Mi was very happy, and in order to show his trust in these people, he directly assigned them to his own lineage, Wei Wu, and some people took the lead, and then more people chose to follow.

Li Mi suddenly gained nearly 4,000 new soldiers, these people were under the command of Zhang Xutuo, who were fighting bandits everywhere and had rich combat experience.

And now, all of them voted for him.

In addition, after the war, Li Mi selected a group of darers from other people to supplement Wei Wushu.

His Wei warriors were then enlarged to 10,000 at once, and even his hussar camp was increased to 5,000.

The next day.

Li Mi then sent troops to re-occupy Xingyang City, Tiger Prison Pass, Xingluo Cangcheng, etc., and the soldiers and horses once again approached the Yanshi City on the periphery of Luoyang.

And after this battle, Li Mi became famous among the rebels.

Zhang Xutuo has been guarding Henan for many years, and his prestige is far and wide, but now he died at the hands of Li Mi.

Although Zhang Xutuo has not been found after the war, Li Mi still claimed that Zhang Xutuo's body had been found.

But secretly, Li Mi still sent light cavalry to search for Zhang Xutuo everywhere.

To live is to see people, and to die is to see corpses.

After the new victory, Li Mi was ambitious, although he was not in a hurry to attack Luoyang immediately, but he had already begun to take the opportunity to integrate all kinds of rebels, in addition to his own lineage of Wei Wushu and hussars in the camp of 15,000 people, Li Mi also asked Wang Bodang to reorganize 20,000 people as the Chinese army. He also integrated the other divisions into four armies, each with 20,000 men each, and each army had a left and right general, and each unified division of 10,000 people.

He personally led the internal army to garrison the Tiger Pass, sent Wang Bodang to garrison the front army in Xingluocang, and then sent the four armies in the front and back, left and right, divided into several roads, and began to attack the eastern counties of Henan Province.
