Killing Zhai Rang, Li Mi was forced to do so, but it was premeditated. In fact, as early as when Li Mi planned to defect to Zhai Rang, the anti-customer-oriented plan was already being implemented involuntarily. Slightly unexpectedly, Li Mi didn't expect this day to come so quickly!

Zhai Rang and Li Mi were originally people from two worlds, one was the son of the Guan Long family in the five surnames and seven hopes, and the other was just a small official from the market, although the chaos in the world made them go to the same path, but their desires were different.

Li Mi wants to seize the world, and Zhai Rang only wants to be the king and hegemon in the cottage, Li Mi wants to overthrow the old dynasty through war and establish a new dynasty, but Zhai Rang does not produce and live in chaos, he just wants to rob the house and try to have food and clothing, Li Mi is a dormant dragon, and Zhai Rang is an eternal bandit! This is the fundamental difference between the two, there is an irreconcilable fundamental contradiction between them, and this contradiction will only become more and more acute as the team grows stronger and stronger with each other, until it becomes irreconcilable, and then there is a fire merger!

Seeing Li Mi's complicated expression and pondering for a long time, Jia Runfu asked with concern, "Did King Wei remember that night again?" ”

Hearing this, Li Mi came back to his senses, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Those who know me, Runfu also!" ”

Jia Runfu cautiously asked, "King Wei, with all due respect!" Did the fires really have to happen? Can't you give Zhai a high-ranking official, hang him, and slowly empty him, so that he can live for a long time? He doesn't have to be with King Wei to the death, right? ”

Li Mi knew that he was ashamed of Zhai Rang in his heart, but as a king, he knew that this kind of thing would be irreparable if he did it, so he sneered: "A bandit for one day, a thief for life, this kind of example is not uncommon in all dynasties, Wang Mang's last years, Green Forest, Red Eyebrows, Copper Horse, these grass thieves, even if they invaded Chang'an and killed Wang Mang, they did not establish their own dynasty, why?" It is because these people are short-sighted and have no ambitions, they only think about taking the hungry people around, going around to war, robbing everywhere, they don't do anything about production, and they don't think about where the grain and grass in the world come from, thinking that those state and county official warehouses can grow a steady stream of grain for them to take and need! ”

"So these rebel mobs are a group of armed robbers, and the scourge is the whole world! In the end, they offended not only the emperor and the court, but all the landlords, nobles, and scholars in the world, because the countryside and homeland they relied on for survival were destroyed by these rogues, so they would do their best to eliminate the thieves or assimilate them! Zhai Rang has a different route and different ambitions from us, if I don't do this, it will be a hidden danger for my Great Wei sooner or later. It's the same as doing it late, it's better to nip the disaster in the bud as soon as possible! ”

"I want to seize the world, Wagang's Zhai Rang, you can't do without it, and you can't get rid of it! The moment I went up to Wagang Mountain, I knew that there would be this day, it was inevitable, there was no way to do it! ”

Jia Runfu sighed and said, "What you said is extremely true, but, but is it really up to you to do this thing to get rid of him?" Wouldn't that make people think you're too cold-blooded? Even if you can subdue those cottage leaders, you can only convince them with force, not with their sincerity, in case you can't suppress them, I'm afraid that they will turn back! ”

Li Mi shook his head and said: "I just expected that there would be this day, so in the past few years, I have been allowing Zhai Rang's subordinates to bully my subordinates everywhere. Therefore, that night, Lone ordered Cui Shu and Pei Renji to make them angry and Zhai Rang, but they didn't even frown! ”

Jia Runfu nodded and said, "Our own people are naturally not a problem, but what will the people of the world think?" What will the rebels who come here and there think? King Wei, you have always taught students to put people's hearts first, but now that you have changed yourself, are you going to lose the hearts of the people in the world like this? ”

Hearing this, Li Mihaha, trembling all over, said, "People's hearts? What is the human heart? Can it be eaten as a meal? My eldest brother Yang Xuangan was unpopular when he started the army? In order to protect these people and protect the so-called people's hearts, he did not listen to Lonely's contrary words, and even did not hesitate to waste a good fighter, and finally lost his life! What is the use of such a human heart? Runfu, you remember, in this troubled world, what can make us go to the end and laugh to the end is not the human heart, but the power! Since ancient times, it has never been those who win the hearts of the people who win the hearts of the people who win the world, but those who win the hearts of the people who win the hearts of the people! ”

Jia Runfu hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "King Wei, you are too paranoid!" For example, Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, was deceived when he raised troops from Jinyang, and there were only about 30,000 people, but as soon as he entered the Guanzhong, the team expanded like a snowball, and the sons of the family and the people in the Guanzhong were like clouds! Now, Li Yuan has already sat on the entire Guanzhong and half of the land of the state and Lingbei, with hundreds of thousands of armor, doesn't this just show the benefits of the people's desire? ”

Li Mi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Runfu, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other!" After Li Yuan entered the Guanzhong, he quickly got the support of the Guanlong family, and even those bandits from all over the country came to vote, not because Li Yuan was the leader of Guanlong, if so, why didn't he have such a momentum when he merged the state? Could it be that only the relevant Chinese people recognize him, and the military generals in the state will not recognize him as the leader of Guanlong? ”

Jia Runfu said curiously: "Oh? Why is that? Please make it clear to the King of Wei! ”

Li Mi's eyes flashed coldly: "The reason why Li Yuan won the hearts of the people is not because of the fame of Tang Guogong, but because he holds the grain of Yongfeng Cang in his hands, which is the same as me winning the hearts of the people of the Central Plains, not by the identity of the Duke of Pushan County, but by returning to Luocang and Luokoucang to store grain!" Do you understand!? ”

"In troubled times, everything is virtual, and survival is the most important thing. But the war is in trouble, the production in various places is completely destroyed, no one farms, no one collects grain, so what to eat and drink? Therefore, whether it is a cottage leader or a wealthy family who wants to become bigger and stronger, only those who occupy these major granaries of the Sui court in the Central Plains, or those who occupy these large granaries, can obtain the step of advancement. As long as you control their supply of military rations, you are not afraid that they will turn against the sky. If there is food, there will be people, you can get a steady stream of soldiers, you can tie the hearts of those cottage leaders, and you are not afraid that they will dare to leave me! ”
