Chapter Eighty-Three: Factional Contradictions

Although, now Li Mi's power is the number one warlord in the world on the surface! But Li Mi also has his troubles, that is, because his subordinates are full of mountains and factions, and it is very difficult to get along.

For example, the Wagang family, they are the predecessors and old men of the Wagang Army, although most of them are temporarily attached to Li Mi, but whether they are anti-guest to Li Mi in their hearts, Huo and Zhai Rang have objections, I don't know. Therefore, Li Mi treats the old Wagang generals equally on the surface, but he is very suspicious of them in his heart!

In addition to the Wagang line, there is also the Sui army surrendered, represented by Pei Renji, most of them are from official families, and the relationship is complicated, the reason why many people follow Li Mi is that one is forced by the situation, and the other is to make a name for themselves and make contributions! Once Li Mi loses power, most of these will not fight to the death, but will abandon him!

In addition to the above two lines, there are also the most powerful and large numbers of complex cottage families in the Wei army, most of them are born in the green forest, each is a large and small village owner, respectively in the hands of thousands to tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, although the combat effectiveness is not strong, but the victory is in a large number. Among them, most of them follow the code of conduct of having milk is a mother, and today, they follow Li Mi, and in the future, only God knows!

These three factions are the three largest factions in Li Mi's army at present, and because of their different backgrounds, knowledge, goals, and status, there are many mustards and contradictions between them, and some even have historical grievances. This point is not seen in the tailwind, but once the situation is unfavorable, it will become Li Mi's biggest weakness!

At this moment, Li Mi was dressed in a Confucian robe, holding a feather fan, and was sitting upright behind the handsome case, his eyes full of wisdom stared at Xie Yingdeng, who had just returned, and asked, "Yingdeng, is the situation true?" Is the faint king really shot!? ”

"King Wei, the fact that the faint king was hit by an arrow is what the last general has seen with his own eyes, and it is absolutely impossible to be wrong!" Xie Yingdeng was still panting slightly, and it could be seen that he was rushing back non-stop.

Hearing this, Li Mi's brows furrowed, he took a deep breath, immediately spit it out, and continued to ask, "Do you know how the situation is with the faint monarch?" ”

Xie Yingdeng reported according to the truth: "When the last general left, it was rumored in the city that the faint king was hit by an arrow and was seriously injured, and the movement of the Sui army did not seem to have the intention of going north, and it was still stationed in Pengcheng. ”

Li Mi turned to look at the people present and asked, "What do you think about this, you can speak freely!" ”

Pei Renji, the former ambassador of Sui Henan Province and the doctor of Zuo Guanglu, and the current general of Wei Shangzhu State and Hedong County Duke, led the first to speak: "King Wei, although Chief Manager Xie personally shot the saint, but after all, it is a hundred meters away, and whether the saint wears armor, or even whether he wears inner armor, this is an unknown!" Therefore, in the end, I will think that the Holy One is absolutely not dead, and we must not be careless! ”

As soon as Pei Renji's words came out, Shan Xiongxin, an old man of the Wagang family, a fellow villager of the former boss Zhai Rang, and the "flying general", was not happy, and stood up and shouted: "King Wei, Brother Xie's archery, Shan Mou couldn't be clearer, single round of archery, Brother Xie's archery should be in the top three of my Wei army!" And Brother Xie can open a strong bow with four stones and six buckets, and with a distance of 100 steps, use a good armor-piercing arrow, and he can break the armor into the body! ”

Pei Renji shook his head and said, "But what if the saint wears both armor and inner armor?" ”

Bing Yuanzhen, who was also an old man in Wagang, sneered: "What does Pei Zhuguo mean by this? This assumption means that we should give up the excellent situation and results in front of our army, return to the army to repair, and prepare to go south to resist the enemy? ”

Seeing that his old boss was scolded, Luo Shixin, who cut his nose with the image of a macho man, was immediately dissatisfied, stood up, pressed the sword with one hand, pointed at Bing Yuanzhen's nose with the other, and shouted: "What the hell do you mean?" Yin and yang all day long, do you want to fight!? ”

"Shixin!" At this time, a young general who was over forty years old and had an iron shovel on his waist stretched out his hand to stop in front of Luo Shixin, and stepped forward and said: "Don't misunderstand, it's not that Pei Zhuguo intends to hinder everyone's heart to make meritorious contributions, but because Pei Zhuguo is worried that the Xiaoguo Army and the Right Yiwei Water Division will sneak attack the rear of our army, causing our army to suffer from the enemy's back. Therefore, I have to speak, that is, I hope that everyone will be vigilant and not be arrogant because of the great victory of our army! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was looking at them, it was Qin Qiong, Qin Shubao! This person, originally Zhang Xutuo's old general, is brave, brave and good at fighting, often charging into battle, and is currently the general of Wei Hussars and the commander of the Inner Horse Army, and is one of Li Mi's personal bodyguards.

"Uncle Bao, having said that, our army newly broke the king Lao Xie in Luoshui, captured tens of thousands of his soldiers, beheaded tens of thousands of ranks, and even the tiger Benlang killed Wang Wei in battle, and the old Wang Xie was only spared, leading thousands of remnants to retreat to Heyang, and then collecting the remnants, still only 20,000 people. Wang Laoxie even tied himself to the prison to ask Yang Tong for guilt, although Yang Tong was kind enough to appease, did not blame him, still let him lead the army to garrison Hanjiacang City, but the strength of the Eastern Capital was greatly damaged, if our army did not take the opportunity to force the Eastern Capital at this time, and wait for Wang Laoxie to slow down, I am afraid that it will become a big trouble for our army! Another inner horse army hussar, Dong Ah Cheng, who had two short axes tied to his waist, said in a golden voice: "As for the problem that Pei Zhuguo is worried about, it is indeed not unreasonable, it depends on the choice and judgment of the King of Wei!" ”

Seeing that the problems were discussed and discussed, not only could they not come up with a good idea, but every time it evolved into a faction-to-faction confrontation, Li Mi had a headache when he looked at these brave and good generals who were brave and good at fighting but were proud and domineering.

At this moment, Wei Zheng, who was dressed as a Taoist priest and joined the army, walked in from outside the mansion with a solemn expression.

Li Mi knew that things had changed, so he asked, "Xuancheng, what's wrong, what's going on?" ”

Wei Zheng looked around and signaled that there were many people, but Li Mi didn't care, and said: "Let's be straight, those who are here are brothers, and they can be trusted!" ”

Seeing this, Wei Zheng had no choice but to speak: "King Wei, I just got the exact news that the Sui court sent Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, to attack Mengjin Pass successfully, and the king of Huazhou Assassin Shi Liang surrendered to Yu Wenshi!" ”

Hearing this, Shan Xiongxin was shocked, because after the loss of Mengjin and Huazhou, the pressure on Liyang would be huge, because Liyang Chengshou was his brother in life and death - Xu Shiji! So, Shan Xiongxin turned his mouth and hugged his fists and said: "King Wei, Liyang is an important town of our army, and it is the only barrier before the Tiger Pass, if Liyang is lost, Xingyang will not be owned by the King of Wei, and the enemy army will be close to the Tiger Prison, and the situation of our army will take a sharp turn for the worse!" ”

After speaking, Shan Xiongxin also signaled Xie Yingdeng and Bing Yuanzhen to help persuade together.

Seeing this, Pei Renji didn't care about fighting with Wagang and the family, and also followed: "King Wei, according to the last general, it is better to postpone the attack on the eastern capital and divide the troops to defend Liyang!" ”

Then, Xu Shiji's usual good popularity came into play, and many neutral cottage owners also spoke out, persuading Li Mi to march quickly and rush to Xu Shiji's aid.

Li Mi quietly listened to what everyone present said, and carefully calculated in his heart.
