Chapter 69: The End VI
readx;
The Buddha statue in the Daxiong Treasure Hall has long since faded and looks very dilapidated. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
One of the gables collapsed in half, causing half of the roof to collapse with it. However, on the whole, the role of sheltering from the wind and snow is still there, but the area in the temple has been reduced a lot. Looking back through the gable, there is a vacant land of about ten acres, with several dilapidated wings on both sides. Further back, there is a wooden building similar to the Zangjing Pavilion, but the wooden building has been completely destroyed and has become a ruin.
However, in this way, there is no shortage of firewood in the temple.
In the main hall, there are fires lit in the wings, adding a little warmth to this cold winter night.
Hanging from the campfire was a tattered pot filled with gruel made from wheat cakes. Li Mi walked slowly, and the depressed aura in his chest also weakened a lot.
When I opened my eyes, I saw the broken one-eyed Buddha statue, staring down.
Li Mi shivered and sat up from the haystack.
"The King's ......"
Wang Bodang hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Li Mi.
Li Mi looked at Wang Bodang in a daze, but his head became a pot of porridge.
How did Saburo end up here? By the way, I just passed out...... It seems that before he passed out, what did Saburo say to me?
At this moment, Li Mi's mind was completely messed up, and he was a little confused.
Wang Bodang was frightened, he saw Li Mi's eyes glazed, and looked at him directly, thinking that Li Mi was angry and attacked, and he was stunned.
Hurriedly shook Li Mi, "Your Majesty, you speak...... What's the matter with you, Your Majesty? ”
"San Lang, don't shake it anymore, if you shake it again, you will fall apart."
Li Mi hurriedly spoke, pointed at Wang Bodang, and patted his forehead after a while and said, "San Lang, Lone is a little messy at this time, don't make noise, let Lone think about it...... By the way, you're not sitting in Junyi, why are you here? What is this place? Lonely this is ...... What's wrong? ”
"Your Majesty, are you really okay?"
"It's all right, it's just that my head is a little dizzy."
"The minister has boiled some wheat porridge, why don't you take a few sips of it first, and then talk after a while?"
Li closed his eyes and nodded after a moment, "It's okay!" ”
In this barren mountain range, there is no tableware. Wang Bodang used his helmet to make a few spoonfuls of wheat porridge and handed it to Li Mi to eat. If it was in normal times, how could Li Mi stand this? But now, he is really hungry, and he can't care about so many rules.
After drinking the wheat porridge in a helmet, his spirit improved a lot.
Li Mi looked at the Daxiong Treasure Hall, there were about dozens of people.
"Your Majesty, the brothers are resting in the back room, and there are dozens of brothers guarding outside, so it's safe here for the time being."
"San Lang, what the hell is this ......"
Wang Bodang knelt in front of Li Mi and explained the cause and effect in detail.
It turned out that Wang Bodang was ordered to go out of the town Junyi. After the fall of Kaifeng, he wanted to regain Kaifeng. Unexpectedly, Li Gongyi suddenly came with news, saying that Su Dingfang of Jijun took advantage of the cold weather and the freezing of the river to attack Baima across the river. Yu Yanjin beheaded Zhang Liang, a general under Wang Deren.
Li Gongyi asked Wang Bodang to monitor the Sui army west of the Tongji Canal, and then led his troops to support.
Although Kaifeng is important, Yanjin is even more important. That is the gateway of Wagang Village, and once it is lost, it will inevitably cause comprehensive chaos in the Wagang Army.
Moreover, the news of Li Mi's victory over Yu Culture in Zitong Mountain also came, Wang Bodang felt that Li Mi would return anyway, and now it is still based on stability. Therefore, he divided his troops to be stationed in Suojube to monitor the movements of the Sui army on the other side of the Tongji Canal. Originally, everything was fine, and there were no big conflicts. Li Gongyi's troops arrived at Yanjin, and Su Dingfang immediately retreated across the river and held on to Liyangcang.
Li Gongyi couldn't attack, and at the same time, he couldn't abandon Yanjin, so he could only stay in Yanjin temporarily.
Wang Bodang was in Junyi, anxiously waiting for Li Mi to return to the army.
Just this afternoon, before dark, he learned that Li Mi was fighting a decisive battle with the Xingyang army on the bank of Cai Shui, so he thought of leading his troops to Cai Shui to support.
But who knows, he was just about to send troops, but a group of remnants of the defeated army came outside Junyi City.
It is said that the Sui army attacked from Yuanwu and conquered the sour jujube.
Wang Bodang didn't see any flaws, so he ordered Kaicheng to let him go. It was his order that caused Junyi's tragedy......
As soon as the city gate was opened, those so-called remnants of the defeated army immediately broke into the city gate and occupied the city gate hole.
The general headed by Li Yanqing is the first minister under Li Yanqing, the majestic sea, the male sunspot...... Not to mention Wang Bodang, even Li Mi didn't expect that Li Yanqing would be in Xingyang County. When everyone thought that Li Yanqing was still sitting in Yaocheng and fighting to the death with Dou Jiande, Li Yanqing personally led 3,000 elite soldiers, with 800 ink unicorns as the vanguard, and the divine soldiers descended from the sky and appeared outside Junyi City.
Wang Bodang was not aware of Li Yanqing's existence at first, nor did he realize that the one who occupied the gate of the city was actually the Mo Qilin, which was dominated by the vast sea. Therefore, he commanded his men and horses to recapture the city gate, but he did not mobilize all the soldiers and horses in the city at the first time.
By the time Wang Bodang found Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing had already led 3,000 elite soldiers to Junyi......
From this, a problem can also be seen.
Li Mi was a good commander, but not a great leader. He can always find some talent, but he is not willing to let go easily. It is undeniable that Wang Bodang is indeed loyal to Li Mi and will never give up. Maybe he is an excellent general, charging into battle, and capturing the flag is Wang Bodang's specialty. But if he is made the commander of an army, it is far from meeting the requirements.
It was precisely because of Wang Bodang's negligence that by the time he found Li Yanqing, he was no longer able to mobilize troops and horses.
After Li Yanqing entered the city, he immediately divided his troops into three routes.
Liang Laoshi led his troops to attack the treasury, and Xiongkuohai led the ink unicorn to attack the school field. Li Yanqing personally led 2,000 people to attack the government and cut off Wang Bodang's command system in an instant. Although Wang Bodang is brave, how many people can there be in the palace? It only lasted less than a stick of incense, and the entire government was captured. And the Tun Military Academy, a white flag was erected, which was attached to the command of Xiongkuohai.
……
When Uncle Wang said this, he looked ashamed.
But Li Mi didn't seem to care.
He half-narrowed his eyes, and said softly after a moment: "In this way, then Li Yanqing is now in Junyi?" ”
"Exactly!"
Li Mi suddenly laughed and looked up to the sky with a long sigh.
"This Li Yanqing's layout is so thorough, like a demon.
I didn't think I underestimated him, but now it seems that I still underestimated him. But only this time the layout is enough to see this person's means......
San Lang, Junyi is lost, no wonder you. I'm afraid that even if I were there, I would have been designed by him...... This person walks one step and looks at ten steps, which is difficult to achieve without decades of experience. It's just that this guy has just passed Double Ten, I'm not as good as him, I'm really not as good as him! ”
Can he blame Wang Bodang?
Mo said that Wang Bodang is now the closest person around him, even if it is a different person, he has nothing to say.
In fact, didn't he Li Mi also take Li Yanqing's role in Cai Shui? The appearance of Pei Xingyan made Li Mi lose his square inch, and Kan Ling and Liu Heng made Li Mi suspicious. If it weren't for that, he would definitely not withdraw his troops easily, which made Luo Shixin take advantage of the loophole. In the final analysis, he was indeed afraid of Li Yanqing...... At that time, he was suspicious and suspicious, and hurriedly ordered the troops to be collected, so that the formation was in chaos.
But in reality?
From beginning to end, Li Yanqing did not appear on the battlefield of Caishui.
As soon as Junyi was lost, the gates of Jiyin and Dongjun were opened. Wang Deren was stationed in Baima before, and he had already shown his disobedience, but he was afraid that now, he would no longer obey his orders.
If Li Mi goes to Baima now, it will definitely be Wang Deren's butcher's knife to greet him.
Perhaps, now Wang Deren is worried, how to negotiate with Li Yanqing...... If he is in the past, I am afraid that it is exactly what Wang Deren wants.
"San Lang, don't blame yourself, Junyi's loss, no wonder you, no wonder you!
It was also me who underestimated Li Yanqing and was too eager to win. If you return to the army alone, first stationed in Junyi, and then try to open the seal, you will not have the defeat you have today. However, since Li Yanqing is in Xingyang, which one is Li Yanqing in Yaocheng? Ha, isn't this Li Yanqing really a demon law, can he be separated? ”
Li Mi smiled self-deprecatingly, looked at the roaring bonfire, and did not speak.
For a long time, Wang Bodang said in a low voice: "Your Majesty? ”
"Ah...... I was thinking about things just now, and I was a little distracted for a while! Li Mi waved his hand and said softly: "Gu is strange now, how could Shi Derui suddenly surrender?" It's ...... It seems strange. By the way, your name was Lonely, but do you have anything to say? ”
"Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
Li Mi thought for a while and said with a wry smile: "I know what you think, but do you want to go to Touyang City?" ”
Wang Bodang said: "Shan Tong is stationed in Yangcheng, and there are still 8,000 elite soldiers under his command. If you count General Yanshilu's subordinates, I'm afraid it will ......"
"San Lang, I'm afraid Yangcheng can't go!"
Li Mi said softly: "That Shan Xiongxin is not you, he was originally Zhai Rang's subordinate, and he has always been dissatisfied with me. At the beginning, I killed Zhai Rang and relied on force to make him temporarily surrender, but he would never ...... to me This life is against the bones, and it was good to say when I was in power, but now, if I go to Yangcheng, I will be poisoned by him. It is very likely that Shan Tong will go behind me, if he reverses, Lu Ruzong is afraid that it will be difficult to save his surname. ”
"Then we ......"
Li Mi said: "Let's go to Guanzhong!" ”
"Guanzhong?"
Li Mi seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said: "The situation in Shandong is irreparable, and it may be very difficult for us to gain a foothold again." The only way to do this now is to invest in Guanzhong first...... Then Li Yuan once respected me as a brother, if I were like, he would definitely use it for me.
When the time is ripe, let's use the power of Guanzhong to return to the Eastern Capital, and when the time comes, we will fight with Li Yanqing. ”
Wang Bodang is not a person with a lot of ideas, but he faintly feels that even if Li Mi goes to Guanzhong, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve his wish.
That's right, Li Yuan did respect Li Mi as his brother back then, but what was the situation at that time?
Li Mi occupies Juwagang and is a man of destiny.
There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command, and the generals are like clouds. The territory under its rule includes the entire Shandong region, and even extends to the land of Jianghuai.
Who doesn't worship the heroes of the world?
But what about now?
There are only a few hundred soldiers, and there will be no more than Wang Bodang alone.
There is no place for it...... And Li Yuan has obtained the Zen position, ascended the throne and called the emperor, sat in Guanzhong, and was supported by the nobles of Guanlong, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command, and the generals were like clouds, just transferred to Li Mi. Wang Bodang is not a qualified commander, but it does not mean that he is a fool.
But he really didn't know how to persuade Li Mi......
If the facts are stated, I am afraid that Li Mi will collapse.
Anyway, it's a long way from here to Guanzhong. I have enough time to convince Li Mi to change his mind, and take a step, look at a step.
"Your Majesty, you are tired of fighting so much.
And rest well...... With such a big snowstorm, Li Yanqing will definitely not catch up. After dawn, we will try to go to Guanzhong. ”
"It's good!"
Li Mi was really tired.
He lay down in the haystack, lay down in his clothes, and soon fell asleep.
Outside the main hall, the north wind shouted, and the wind became stronger and stronger.
Wang Bodang was also very tired, so he took his bow and arrows in his arms, put his spear and horizontal knife beside him, and sat down beside the incense case with his broken leg, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
On this night, the snow was heavy and the wind was strong......
At dawn, the wind and snow stopped.
Wang Bodang opened his eyes and saw that Li Mi was still asleep, so he stood up gently.
He put his bow and arrows away, picked up his spear, picked up his helmet, and prepared to go to the well in the backyard to get some water to wash.
Pushing open the door, Wang Bodang walked out of the hall.
But as soon as he came out, he immediately sensed that something was not right.
The silver spear dipped in his hand, and Wang Bodang vigilantly patrolled around. What about those who are on the alert? Why, one is missing?
Hurriedly walked down the steps, and suddenly stumbled under his feet, and Wang Bodang almost fell to the ground.
As if he had stumped over something, Wang Bodang hurriedly looked down. But I saw a corpse on the steps, choked in the throat, with a sharp arrow stuck in it.
Wang Bodang gasped and looked carefully at the courtyard.
Only then did he discover that there were dozens of corpses in the courtyard, neatly displayed in the mountain gate.
However, a night of wind and snow covered up these corpses. If you don't look closely, you won't be able to notice it.
In an instant, a cool air rushed up from the waist and down the back of the backbone. Wang Bodang took three steps and made two steps, rushed to the mountain gate, looked outside, and his face suddenly turned white.
On the white snow, rows of soldiers lined up neatly.
However, these soldiers were dressed in strange clothes, wearing thick white cotton coats and hoods on their heads, making it impossible to see their faces clearly.
Standing quietly outside the temple, like a ghost in the snow.
Uncle Wang subconsciously swallowed his saliva and slowly retreated to the temple.
It was at this moment that those white ghosts suddenly wanted to move forward. Feet on thick snow make an eerie creaking sound.
A black dragon horse with a divine steed, appearing behind a white ghost.
On that horse, a man sat upright, dressed in black armor and covered in black, wearing a black helmet and a black mask covering his face with only his mouth and chin exposed.
In front of the dragon horse, four burly giants stood side by side.
The man on the horse took off his hood, and the star-like eyes behind the mask shone brightly. The red lips are slightly upturned, revealing a very nice arc.
He bowed slightly on the horse, and pointed at Wang Bodang with the agarwood lance in his hand.
"Yong Saburo, dare to ask Mi Gong, have you ever gotten up?
Li Yanqing waited here for a long time, and asked San Lang to report to the secret duke, so he told him...... Li Yanqing came to take his head! ”
