Chapter 39: The Wagang Rebellion
The bow is indeed a good bow, Zhai Rang is a good martial artist, as soon as he took the bow, he couldn't help but want to try it. But Li Mi is the main one, and he is the courtier, so he naturally does not dare to point his bow at Li Mi. So, Zhai Rang turned around and walked out of the door, raised his bow and pulled the string, only to see that his face was flushed, and he actually pulled a full bow.
Li Mi also turned sideways, staring at Zhai Rang's arms, with an expression of admiration on his face, which made Zhai Rang very happy in his heart, and stood still in place.
It's too late, it's fast, Li Mi turned sideways at the same time, which was equivalent to making way for Cai Jiande, only to see his lowered head suddenly raised, and with lightning speed, he raised his knife to slash at Zhai Rang.
Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji and others exclaimed in surprise, and Zhai Rang just turned around and saw the oncoming blade, but he had no time to dodge. He took half a step forward before he felt a pain behind him.
The bow fell to the ground, Zhai Rang roared, and fell on the desk, although Cai Jiande's knife did not split him in half, it was enough to kill him on the spot.
Everything happened too suddenly, with Zhai Rang's roar, dozens of soldiers wearing armor and armed with spears and straight knives suddenly rushed in, slashing at Zhai Hong, Wang Ruxin and others, and after a while, Zhai Hong and others became a pile of meat and mud, and blood flowed all over the ground.
Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji reacted quickly, the two of them broke out at the same time, Shan Xiongxin grabbed a long spear, Xu Shiji moved a little slowly, and was surrounded in order to grab the weapon in time. He was dressed in military uniform and had no weapons in his hands, how could he kill people? Dodge the soldiers' weapons with only a dash of movement.
On the other side, Shan Xiongxin looked at Zhai Rang's corpse, his muscles burst out, his eyes showed a fierce light, and the spear swept away, forcing back the soldiers surrounding him. Then an arrow step, only take Li Mi.
Cai Jiande raised his knife to meet it, and separated Shan Xiongxin's fatal blow, Shan Xiongxin's eyes were about to crack, he roared, and fought with Cai Jiande. Cai Jiande's martial arts are good. But he was not Shan Xiongxin's opponent, and after only a few rounds of fighting, he was pierced by Shan Xiongxin's shot, fell to the ground, and had no life.
After killing Cai Jiande, Shan Xiongxin still wanted to kill Li Mi, but Li Mi had retreated far away at this time, and there were people standing in front of him, and Shan Xiongxin glanced at him coldly. turned around and killed Xu Shiji's side.
The two fought and retreated, and when they arrived at the door, Shan Xiongxin said: "Shiji, you first escape and transfer troops, and I will resist here." ”
Xu Shiji knew that it was not appropriate to say more at this time, so he said "take care" and rushed out. But as soon as he stepped out of the door, he was cut to the ground by the soldiers guarding outside. Just as he was about to die, Wang Bodang shouted in the distance. Drinking the soldiers, he barely survived a life.
Shan Xiongxin's martial arts are amazing, but his two fists are hard to beat with four hands, plus Xu Shiji was captured, and the archers outside were also ready, so he had no possibility of escaping. So he simply stopped fighting, sneered, and said to Li Mi: "Li Shimin killed my brother, and you killed my brother Zhai, since that's the case." Just kill me too! With that, he threw down the spear in his hand.
Seeing that Shan Xiongxin gave up resistance, the soldiers hurriedly surrounded him and tied him up, Li Mi walked up to Shan Xiongxin from behind the soldiers, and said: "It was not my intention to kill Situ Shi, but he and Xingyang Gong and others intended to kill me and stood on their own." My position was originally given to me by him, and I have no greed, but Wagang finally has today, how can I bear to watch it decline? ”
"Nonsense, Brother Zhai is generous, how can he do such a thing!" Shan Xiongxin's face was gloomy, and he said, "Since you have already killed him, why do you still slander him!" ”
"Situ is kind to his father, why does his father slander him?" Li Mi didn't care about Shan Xiongxin's attitude, and said calmly: "My father will let you see someone, and you will understand." ”
As soon as Li Mi's words fell, Jia Xiong came to Shan Xiongxin and said with a sad face: "What Duke Wei said is true, Zhai Situ, Wang Sima, and Xingyang Duke discussed this matter with me, I was worried that their plan would make Wagang fall apart, so I secretly told Duke Wei, and Duke Wei had no choice but to make this decision." ”
In Shan Xiongxin's eyes, Jia Xiong has always been Zhai Rang's person, and he will definitely not deceive him, he turned his head and glanced at Zhai Rang's corpse again, bowed his head and was silent, anyway, he was about to die, how could he still have the heart to think about these aftermaths?
When Shan Xiongxin was waiting for death, Jia Xiong screamed and fell to the ground in disbelief. The changes in front of him made Shan Xiongxin very surprised, and he didn't understand why Li Mi suddenly killed Jia Xiong.
"Although he saved his father, he betrayed Zhai Situ, damn it!" Li Mi Zhengse said: "We are raising the banner of righteousness in order to overthrow Yang Guang's tyranny, today's matter is the personal grudge between this father and Zhai Situ, the crime is not as good as the public, this father is only punished by their family, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
Shan Xiongxin originally thought that he would die, but he didn't expect Li Mi to let him go, so he couldn't help believing Li Mi's words, and knelt down and said, "The last general is willing to serve Wei Gong." Li Mi picked up Shan Xiongxin, untied him again, and comforted him with a good voice.
At this time, Xu Shiji was still lying outside the door, and Li Mi ordered someone to carry him to his bed and personally wrap a cloth belt for him.
As soon as Zhai Rang died, the old Wagang department suddenly lost their assertiveness and planned to flee elsewhere, how could Li Mi be willing to leave with so many soldiers and horses? When it was confirmed that Shan Xiongxin was sincerely obedient to him, he sent him to comfort everyone first, and then rode into the camp alone to pacify him without a single soldier.
In order to let the old Wagang department stay, Li Mi ordered Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji, Wang Bodang and others to lead them separately to dispel their vigilance. Li Mi was already famous, and this series of actions made everyone feel relieved and no longer think about escaping.
Of course, there is another reason why they chose to stay, the Wagang army occupies the two granaries of Liyang and Luokou, as long as they stay, they will not go hungry.
For Li Mi, this is the best ending, but for Wang Shichong, it is the worst news, he would rather Zhai Rang kill Li Mi than see Li Mi appear in front of him alive.
The reinforcements led by Liu Changgong were stationed elsewhere, and Wang Shichong had a flash of inspiration and ordered the officers and men of the three armies to eat and drink as much as they wanted, preparing to confuse Li Mi with the fact that the reinforcements had not yet been integrated with the army, and led the army to attack Luokoucang.
The grain and grass transported from the eastern capital are getting less and less, Wang Shichong is very anxious, if he can capture Luokoucang, then the army will no longer have to worry about the problem of grain and grass.
But Wang Shichong did not find that with the shortage of grain and grass, some people in the army had begun to flee, and these people had defected to Wagang.
Knowing Wang Shichong's actions, Li Mi smiled very happily, the best way to divert internal contradictions is to fight abroad, he was worried that Wang Shichong would stick to the camp and there was no way to attack, but he didn't expect Wang Shichong to send it to the door intentionally.
Smiling and smiling, Li Mi's eyes narrowed into a straight line. (To be continued.) )
