Chapter 251: Zhai Rang's Death

Li Yuanba agreed, then said goodbye to Cheng Zhijie and the others, and left with the two Xuanjia Army soldiers beating horses. Cheng Zhijie, www.biquge.info of the Pen, Fun Pavilion, saw that their figures had completely disappeared, so he led people to catch up with the slowly marching army and returned to the Great Demon Kingdom together.

This time, the Eighteen Kingdoms intercepted and killed Yang Guang in Siming Mountain, and the faint king who beat him issued an edict of guilt, and presented the jade seal of the country to wag his tail and beg for mercy, so that he could escape with his life; Even the pillar of the Great Sui Dynasty, the king of the mountain, disappeared without a trace. This news spread all over the land of China in an instant; The world was in an uproar.

In particular, Li Yuanba hammered the Eighteen Kingdoms, and Cheng Zhijie's battle against Yuwen Chengdu was even more miraculous by everyone; On the contrary, Li Mi was elected as the new emperor to accept the jade seal, which was selectively forgotten by everyone.

Li Mi led everyone, including Li Shimin and Li Yuanba, and returned to Wagang. He didn't expect the anti-kings to give up so easily; Instead, he publicized the fact that he was ordered by heaven with great fanfare, and began to recruit troops on a large scale.

Yang Guang heard about this incident as soon as he arrived in Yangzhou; He was so angry that he jumped like thunder, and at that time he took out the real jade seal to pass on the edict to the world, saying that this matter was the edict of Yang Lin, the king of the backer, and he had never issued any edict of abdication at all.

For this reason, he also issued a holy decree, exempting Yang Lin from all official positions, saying that he falsely passed on the holy edict, and his crime should be punished, and ordered the world to be wanted and arrested.

As soon as this holy decree was issued, the world was in an uproar again, and there were two heirloom jade seals at once, which one was true? Is that fake? After Li Mi saw Yang Guang's holy decree, he also learned to pass on the edict to the world to declare that the jade seal in his hand was true, and he was the true dragon who was ordered by the sky; However, he also had doubts in his heart, and still detained the Li Shimin brothers, who were about to leave.

As soon as Xue Ju and the others heard the news, they immediately declared that Li Mi's jade seal was fake, and they resolutely disobeyed Li Mi's orders; Dou Jiande and Xiao Mi unanimously said that Li Mi's jade seal was real, and tried their best to persuade Li Mi to be the emperor; Li Mi knew that they had bad intentions and said to everyone: "If you don't conquer the eastern capital, you will never be the emperor, please try your best to conquer Luoyang, and then ascend to the throne there." ”

Li Mi returned to Wagang Mountain with the heirloom jade seal, which greatly stimulated the nerves of some people; Especially Zhai Rang's brother Zhai Kuan and his cronies Wang Ruxin. The two publicized on the mountain all day long, saying that Li Mi was driven like a lost dog by others back then, and it was the big boss who took him in; But he didn't know how to repay his kindness.

At this time, Luoyang stayed behind to guard Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and ordered the capture ambassador Wang Shichong to come to crusade against the Wagang rebellion. Zhai Kuan and Wang Ruxin asked this Zhai to lead the troops to battle, and they had seized Li Mi's military power.

Li Mi sneered, agreed to their suggestion, and then handed over all the elite soldiers to Zhai Rang. Zhai Rang Daxi led the army to meet the battle.

When Wang Shichong heard that it was Zhai Rang who led the team, he laughed and led the troops to line up to fight. Zhai Rang is used to being a thief, and he has no ability to command large-scale battles at all; But he was bewitched by Zhai Kuan and Wang Ruxin, but he seized the command and still didn't let go.

"Boom" All of a sudden, Zhai Rang threw all his troops up. Wang Shichong asked the generals Duan Da and Liu Changgong to lead troops to resist; He took the Jianghuai pawn and slammed it behind.

Zhai Rang saw that it was not good, and hurriedly ordered someone to collect the troops; Now that the armies of both sides are mixed up, where is it said that you can retreat? Zhai Rang's military order, the Wagang army immediately made a mess, Zhang Liang on the left hurriedly led people to retreat, and on the right was Xu Shiji's general Guo Xiaoge; Although this man is greedy for money, he is very brave; led the army to fight to the death and did not retreat.

Zhang Liang was timid and Wang Shichong's Jianghuai strongmen had a big rout as soon as they came into contact, and Zhai Rang was coerced by the rout and ran backwards, and this retreat ran for dozens of miles.

Guo Xiaoge roared: "Life and death, success or failure, in one fell swoop!" Armies and I will kill the enemy! He didn't care about it, and led people to block Duan Da and Liu Changgong's several times the army.

"Kill!" When Zhai Rang fled in a hurry, Li Mi led Shan Xiongxin and Wang Bodang to fight left and right. Wang Shichong saw that the enemy was strong, and whether the troops behind him had followed, he fought and retreated.

At this time, Guo Xiaoge was inseparable from Duan Da and Liu Changgong, and saw Wang Shichong retreating; Guo Xiaoge shouted loudly: "The Sui army retreated, and the Sui army was defeated; Kill! ”

When his generals saw it, Wang Shichong really led people back, and shouted one by one: "The Sui army is defeated!" The Sui army was defeated! The morale of the Wagang army was greatly boosted, and they surrounded the Sui army for a while.

The Sui army panicked one by one, and then looked up to see that their army had really retreated, and they were no longer in the mood to fight, so they turned around and retreated.

Duan Da and Liu Changgong could no longer control the troops, so they had to follow and be defeated; In the end, he and Wang Shichong converged, and with the desperate rush of Jianghuai in Wang Shichong's hands, he stabilized the situation and slowly retreated to the camp.

The Wagang Army also retreated to the camp to rest; Wang Ruxin and others pleaded with Zhai Rang to rob the camp late at night; Defeat Wang Shichong. Li Mi rejected Zhai Rang's suggestion under the pretext that he was afraid that the enemy army would be ambushed.

Zhai Kuan and Wang Ruxin thought that Li Mi was afraid that Zhai Rang would make meritorious contributions, so they refused to send troops; announced this matter everywhere, and contacted the generals Xu Shiji, Qi Guoyuan, Li Ruqi and others.

The next day, Zhai Rang came to Li Mi with hundreds of people to drink and have fun with him; Zhai Kuan and Wang Ruxin asked their men to hide their blades, and when they heard them smash the cup, they rushed up and killed Li Mi.

Li Mi pretended not to know, and ordered a banquet to entertain Zhai Rang and others; Seeing the wine go through three rounds, the dishes go through the five flavors; Zhai Kuan raised his hand and was about to give orders. Li Mi said suddenly: "Dongjun Gong, I got a good bow some time ago, please try it." ”

Zhai Rang was greedy for money, and as soon as he heard that there was a baby, his eyes lit up and he shouted: "Good! Hurry up and add to the fun! Li Mi waved his hand and asked his subordinates to bring a gold-backed treasure carving bow. Zhai Rang held it in his hand and praised it repeatedly, and then pulled the bow with both arms.

It didn't matter if he pulled it away, Cai Jian, the commander of Li Mi's guards, rushed out from behind and stabbed Zhai Rang in the waist with a knife. Then there was a shout of killing, and a band of swords and axes rushed in from outside the tent, and they cut down when they saw anyone; Not only Zhai Kuan and Wang Ruxin were killed, but there was no one left who was related to Zhai Rang; Even Xu Shiji might as well be seriously injured for a while, and thanks to Shan Xiongxin and others who stopped him from chasing the soldiers, he escaped his life.

Li Mi saw that the enemy had been killed, so he asked his subordinates to stop their actions and said to Shan Xiongxin and others: "Zhai Rang conspired to rebel and intended to assassinate me; I've already killed him, and you want to call for revenge? ”

Wang Bodang and the others shouted: "We are willing to obey the dispatch of the secret prince!" Xu Shiji, the ninja, pulled the standing Shan Xiongxin in pain; Shan Tong sighed, knelt on the ground and said, "We are willing to obey the dispatch of the secret duke." ”

Li Mi was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked them to get up and comfort them, and then sent people to Zhai Rang's camp, claiming that Zhai Rang intended to assassinate the king and kill him, and plotted to rebel and usurp the throne; has been executed; Let everyone hurry up and submit, and those who disobey will be beheaded.

Most of Zhai Rang's soldiers chose to surrender, and Li Mi ordered Wang Bodang, Shan Xiongxin, and Xu Shiji to lead the soldiers of Wagang.

The chronicle Zhang Heng took Li Mi's destiny as the name and asked Li Mi to give amnesty to the world to Gao Cangsheng; Li Mi thought so deeply and decided to pardon all the criminals in Wagang. Fang Yanzao drafted the holy decree and asked Li Mi to confirm the seal.

Li Mi looked at it and nodded in approval, and then covered his jade seal; He had just handed over the decree to his subordinates to read, when suddenly the spirit shuddered and asked for the decree back.

Li Mi laid out the holy decree, lay on it and watched it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the paler his face became; The real heirloom jade seal, the printed surface is a square frame, thick on the outside and thin on the inside; There are two dragons in the frame, and the three waves below represent the sea, and the eight big characters in the center: ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang. It represents the sunshine of the sea and the double dragon.

The jade seal in his hand is roughly the same as these, but the subtleties can be seen to be rough; And his frame line is of general thickness, lacking the layering of a real jade seal.

"This is fake?" Li Mi's face instantly became very terrifying, he resisted the urge to throw the fake jade seal out, and his hands were bruised and trembling suddenly.

Fang Yanzao paused for a moment and said, "King Wei? Is there anything else to explain? Li Mi took a hard breath, picked up the pen and wrote a sentence on it: "Don't pardon Li Shimin for house arrest!" Then he gave the holy decree to Fang Yanzao.

Fang Yanzao hurriedly ordered the attendant to read the holy decree; Coincidentally, Xu Shiji was on duty here today. After Xu Shiji was injured, he did not lead the troops but has been on duty at home, these days he and Li Shimin have been getting acquainted, and Cheng Zhijie also asked someone to let him take care of it, so after receiving the holy decree, he saw "Do not pardon Li Shimin under house arrest!" A few words were slightly stunned.

Sent away the inner servant who announced the decree, Xu Shiji took the holy decree and frowned secretly, and finally he gritted his teeth and filled in a little on the holy decree, which was changed to: This amnesty is under house arrest Li Shimin!

Then Xu Shiji quickly went inside to see Li Shimin, informed him of the decision of King Wei to grant amnesty to the world, and then gave Li Shimin a piece of gold to approve the arrow and let him flee quickly.

How smart Li Shimin was, when he saw Xu Shiji's appearance, he didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly asked Li Yuanba to take the Xuanjia Army and hurriedly walked out of Wagang Mountain with the golden approval arrow.

"Second, second brother, why be afraid of that kid, he, he dares to be unreasonable, I will smash and kill him with a sledgehammer!"

Li Shimin laughed and said: "I know that Yuanba is powerful, but in other people's territory, our 500 people are too few; One day our army will march eastward and sweep the world; At that time, it will also rely on the might of Yuanba. ”

Li Yuanba grinned, hehe smirked non-stop; Li Shimin said to Hou Junji: "Junji turned north, let's go to Shandong." ”

Hou Junji nodded and said: "Childe has a good strategy, so the Wagang Army can't find it even if they want to chase us!" Li Shimin laughed and said, "Yuanba, don't you miss the fifth brother?" Let's go to Jinan to see him! ”

Li Yuanba grinned, and promised to run away as soon as he urged the horse, and Hou Junji's face turned pale.
