Jindi Pass is a pass between Dongjun and Xingyang County, because it is in the prosperous place of the Central Plains, there was no garrison in the peaceful years, and it fell into disrepair for a long time, and it was gradually valued by the imperial court in the past two years, and sent troops to garrison.

The Jindi Pass guard will be Yang Yuan, the nephew of Yang Qing, the Taishou King of Xingyang County, Yang Yuan has been in this Jindi Pass since he took office, all day long, bullying men and women, not doing a single thing, doing all kinds of evil things, the people of Jindi Pass are always looking forward to a rebel army to kill Yang Yuan.

On this day, Yang Yuan was frolicking with the concubines in the mansion, playing the game of pampering whoever he caught, when suddenly a disturbing footstep came, and Yang Yuan's lieutenant shouted anxiously: "General, it's not good, the Wagang thieves are coming to beat me Jindiguan!" ”

Yang Yuan said with a nonchalant expression: "Little Wagang thief, how capable can he be, and can he break through this sturdy and dangerous Jindi Pass?" You just go and lead the troops to guard the pass, don't disturb my interest. ”

The lieutenant walked away with a helpless expression.

Zhai Rang finally listened to Li Mi's advice and personally led more than 10,000 Wagang troops to attack Jindi Pass, as long as Jindi Pass was broken, the gate of Xingyang County would be opened for Wagang Village.

Jindi Pass is not easy to break, Zhai Rang asked Li Mi for advice, Li Mi said: "Yang Yuan is brutal and incompetent, and the people of Jindi Pass suffer greatly, as long as we send someone to incite a little, Jindi Pass will be able to break itself!" ”

Zhai Rang adopted Li Mi's plan, and that night, thousands of people in Jindiguan stormed the city gate of Jindiguan and opened the city gate, Zhai Rang immediately commanded the soldiers to enter Jindiguan in the cheers of the people, and hacked Yang Yuan to death from the gentle township.

The Wagang army then attacked the counties of Xingyang County, and most of the county seats were breached, but Xingyang City was still under the insistence of Yang Qing.

Xingyang County is an important place in the Central Plains, very close to the capital Luoyang, there is no room for mistakes, Yang Guang, who is thousands of miles away, after learning of the huge move of the Wagang Army, ordered Yang Qing to exterminate the Wagang Army as soon as possible, Yang Qing consciously held on to Xingyang City It is a little difficult, how to go out of the city to exterminate?

Yang Qing then went up to show the difficulty and asked the imperial court to send troops to rescue.

Yang Guang had arrived in Jiangdu at this time, and after receiving Yang Qing's recital, he discussed with his close ministers, and Yu Shiji said: "Zhang Xutuo, the general guard of Qi County, is now concurrently serving as the ambassador of the twelve counties of Henan Province to arrest him, why not send him to crusade against the Wagang thieves?" ”

Zhang Xutuo has been fighting for the Sui Dynasty all over the years, invincible, and is regarded as the pillar of the Sui Dynasty.

As a result, Yang Guang transferred Zhang Xutuo to defend Xingyang, and led his headquarters to attack the Wagang army.

In the middle of September of the twelfth year of the Great Cause, Zhang Xutuo led the soldiers of Qi County to Xingyang, preparing to attack Zhai Rang, Zhai Rang was defeated by Zhang Xutuo several times before, at this time he heard Zhang Xutuo coming, he was terrified, and planned to avoid Zhang Xutuo.

Li Mi said: "Zhang Xutuo is brave and strategic, his army has won many victories, he is both proud and fierce, and he can capture Zhang Xutuo in one battle." As long as the general sets up a position and waits for the officers and soldiers, I promise to defeat Zhang Xutuo's army for the general! ”

After hearing this, the generals of Wagangzhai immediately discussed a lot.

If Li Mi said that he could guarantee that he would defeat someone else, all the generals in Wagangzhai would believe it, but what he said was Zhang Xutuo! In this world, who can defeat the god of war Zhang Xutuo?

Since the seventh year of the Great Cause, Zhang Xutuo has been a nightmare existence for all kinds of rebels, and whoever wants to meet him will definitely be defeated.

Li Mi saw that everyone was hesitant, so he said: "I am willing to make a military order, if I can't defeat Zhang Xutuo this time, I will apologize for my own crimes!" ”

After hearing what Li Mi said, Zhai Rang had no choice but to line up and send troops to prepare for a battle with Zhang Xutuo, while Li Mi personally led more than thousands of elite soldiers to leave the headquarters and did not know where to go.

Because Zhai Rangjun captured many cities, he opened warehouses and recruited soldiers along the way, so the team expanded rapidly, and now there are nearly 100,000 soldiers.

Zhang Xutuo's strength is less than 20,000, but Zhang Xutuo is not afraid, over the years, he has more than a record of less fighting, he knows how much combat strength these rebels can have, Zhang Xutuo believes that this time he will be able to defeat Wang Shu, Lu Mingyue and other rebels, defeat the Wagang army.

Li Mi also believes that he will be able to defeat the famous Zhang Xutuo for two main reasons.

First, Zhang Xutuo's soldiers were very tired due to repeated battles. Although Zhang Xutuo concurrently served as the ambassador of the 12 counties of Henan Province to arrest the 12 counties, it sounds very popular, but he did not have the right to requisition the troops of the 12 counties of Henan Province.

Therefore, since Zhang Xutuo was in the tenth year of the great cause, he became the ambassador of the 12 counties of Henan Province to arrest him, and he has been leading the soldiers of Qi County to fight with rebels all over Henan Province.

The second is to perceive that Zhang Xutuo has the intention of despising the enemy, and Zhang Xutuo has always despised Zhai Rang because he has defeated Zhai Rang several times. On the battlefield, it is taboo to despise the enemy!

The Wagang army and Zhang Xutuo's army then set up a position outside Xingyang City, and after a short confrontation, Zhang Xutuo's army, which was relatively small in number, took the lead in forming a phalanx to attack.

All of a sudden, the battlefield shouted to kill the heavens, and the battle that decided the fate of the world officially began, if Zhang Xutuo's army won, then the Wagang army could only retreat back to Wagangzhai and continue to fight petty, and if Wagangzhai won, Li Mi's proposal to sweep Erjing will not be empty words.

Because up to Zhai Rang and down to the ordinary soldiers, they were afraid of Zhang Xutuo, so soon after the two armies met in short arms, the army led by Zhai Rang was defeated and retreated, and then soon the whole line was defeated, and Zhai Rang fled to the northeast with the remnants in a panic.

There is an ancient temple built in the early years of the Northern Wei Dynasty more than ten miles away from the northeast of Xingyang City, the name is Dahai Temple, there is a dense forest in the north of the temple, and Li Mi is ambushing in this forest with thousands of elite soldiers at this time.

Li Mi's eyes lit up, and he looked very excited. He Li Mi only defeated the powerful Zhang Xutuo, and his prestige will definitely soar, and at that time, the words of "Tao Li Zhang" can only be fulfilled.

Zhang Xutuo has been chasing Zhai Rang's defeated soldiers for more than ten miles, and he is close to the woods north of the Great Sea Temple, Qin Qiong feels that Zhang Xutuo is a little aggressive, the pursuit speed is too fast, and the follow-up people have not followed, and there are only more than 1,000 people around him, he feels that this is inappropriate, and he is about to make a suggestion to Zhang Xutuo.

At this moment, the drum sounded like thunder, Li Mi suddenly launched an ambush to Zhang Xutuo to cover the past, Zhang Xutuo's more than 1,000 soldiers were caught off guard, and were defeated by Li Mi's ambush, the soldiers fled, and Li Mi covered the soldiers to chase and kill.

In the end, Li Mi and Zhai Rang, Xu Shiji, Wang Bodang and others joined forces and surrounded Zhang Xutuo and hundreds of Qi County soldiers.
