Chapter 365: Li Mi returns to Wagang
I have to say that even after the defeat, Li Mi still maintained a good demeanor. Shan Xiongxin personally led 10,000 elite foot riders to greet him, which made Li Mi really feel a little grateful in his heart. When he visited Wagangzhai, he did leave some way out, but he didn't expect that Zhai Rang could really be sincere to himself. Wagangzhai is still fighting fiercely with Zhang Xutuo, Zhai Rang can divide troops to save him, even if he is a hard-hearted person, he has to be moved.
After taking a comfortable bath and changing into dry clothes, Li Mi returned to his suave appearance, it was already in November, the weather was cold, he wore a crescent white Confucian shirt, and a mink coat outside, riding on a snow-white horse looked really chic.
He rode side by side with Shan Xiongxin, asking about the current situation of Wagangzhai as he walked.
"We fought fiercely with that elder thief for several months, and although we couldn't defeat him, we finally didn't miss Mi Gong's major affairs, and we never let him go to Dongjun."
"I'm ashamed."
Li Mi slowly shook his head and sighed: "The 200,000 army besieged the eastern capital Luoyang, and finally ended up in such a situation. If people's hearts don't match, it is difficult to achieve great things. This defeat, the defeat was defeated in 200,000 people could not work together, and the officials and soldiers took advantage of the loopholes to break through, today's defeat made me understand one thing, under the generous profits, it can indeed attract people to vote, but without the love between brothers, it is impossible to win after all. In the world, there are very few people who value righteousness like Brother Zhai and Second Brother Shan. ”
Shan Xiongxin said with a smile: "Although Mi Gong failed to win this time, he has already raised the prestige of my Green Forest Road. Since the beginning of the sixth year of the great cause, all the righteous armies in the world have risen together, who can be as magnificent as Mi Gong? Besieging the imperial capital, this is not something that a person of great courage can do. This defeat is all due to those mercenary villains, but the credit is in Migong. Although it failed to break the Eastern Capital of the Dog Emperor this time, it let the Dog Emperor know that the heroes on our Green Forest Road should not be underestimated. ”
He sighed: "What's more, Mi Gong's small defeat this time is very good for my Wagang Village." ”
"Oh?"
Li Mi was puzzled: "How can Second Brother Shan say this?" ”
Shan Xiongxin said with a smile: "If there is no such thing, how can I Wagang get a secret duke?" ”
Li Mi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Second Brother Shan values it so much, how dare I not work for Wagangzhai?" Second Brother Shan, rest assured, this time I will never leave again when I return to Wagang, and share weal and woe with Brother Zhai and Second Brother Shan. There are also the Maogong brothers who have never met, as well as Wang Bodang, Cheng Zhijie, and Xie Yingdeng, all of whom are first-class heroes in the world. ”
"Alas......"
Shan Xiongxin sighed and said, "Mi Gong doesn't know anything..."
He told Xu Shiji and Cheng Zhijie about their reversal from Wagangzhai, and Li Mi suddenly turned white with anger: "Who in this world doesn't know that the most loyal and benevolent people in the green forest road are Brother Zhai and Second Brother Shan, so why are Xu Shiji and Cheng Zhijie so cold!" At the beginning, in order to save him, Brother Zhai was angry and poured all the soldiers and horses of Wagangzhai into the east, what kind of righteous anger was this, how could he do such a sorry brotherly thing? ”
"Knowing people, knowing faces, but not hearts!"
Shan Xiongxin scolded hatefully: "On that day, I fought a bloody battle to get out of the encirclement, Cheng Zhijie was captured by the men and horses of Yanyunzhai, and after I returned to Wagangzhai, I begged my eldest brother to lead the troops to rescue me many times, but I didn't expect that before Brother Zhai and I led the men and horses to attack Dongping County again, Cheng Zhijie actually surrendered." It's annoying to talk about it, so don't mention it. ”
"If you don't mention it, you won't mention it!"
Li Mi said: "Going to the black sheep is a good thing for our Wagangzhai. Now the village is full of good brothers who are in love, and they are even more comfortable and happy! ”
"Mi Gong said it well!"
Shan Xiongxin praised: "It's still open-minded and benevolent." ”
"What is the situation in Wagangzhai now?"
Li Mi changed the topic and asked.
Shan Xiongxin was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard someone in front of him shouting: "Urgent report!" Urgent! ”
……
……
A soldier who rushed from Wagangzhai to report the news panted and said: "Second master! I have come to you day and night by order of the great master. The big boss, please hurry up and lead the army back, Zhang Xutuo's old thief is attacking very urgently, when I came, Zhang Lao's soldiers and horses have already attacked the outer village, and they were driven back by Wang Dangjia's army, but the Qi County soldiers and horses are in full swing, and our troops are insufficient......"
"Shut up!"
Shan Xiongxin looked at Li Mi's face, and then angrily reprimanded the soldier who sent the message: "How dare you disturb the morale of the army with such nonsense!" Say! Are you a spy sent by Zhang Xutuo's old thief! When I led the army to leave, there were several victories in the stockade, how dare you make up such a lie to accuse me! ”
"The villain is indeed here on the orders of the big boss!"
"Someone!"
Shan Xiongxin said angrily: "Take this villain with ill intentions to the side of the road and cut it!" ”
"Whoa!"
A few of his own soldiers dismounted and were about to take people, Li Mi hurriedly urged him to step forward and said, "Second Brother Shan will keep people under the knife!" ”
He glanced at the soldier who was delivering the message and said, "Second Brother Shan is angry. ”
Then he urged the horse to Shan Xiongxin's side and lowered his voice: "Why do you want to hide it from me? I will be in Wagang Village for a long time in the future, and I have been determined to share weal and woe with Brother Zhai and Second Brother Shan, since there is trouble in the cottage, Second Brother Shan should tell me the truth, I first returned to Wagang, it is when I want to do something for the village, I also said just now, brothers can work together to achieve great things, how can Second Brother Shan treat me like this? ”
"Uh......"
Shan Xiongxin blushed and said in a low voice: "Forgive me, I'm just afraid that this person will disturb the morale of the army." Again...... Moreover, when I left Wagangzhai, I did win several battles one after another. ”
"Second brother Shan, you divided your troops to save me, Zhang Xutuo is so cunning and cunning, how can you not seize this opportunity? It is impossible to say that after the second brother Shan left, there were indeed several small defeats in the village, and this soldier rode hundreds of miles to report that he was also a loyal and brave person, and the second brother Shan still left him alive. ”
"That's good, just follow Mi Gong!"
He turned his head to look at the soldier who reported the news and said, "For the sake of the secret prince's intercession for you, spare you this time and spare you from death, remember, don't talk nonsense next time!" ”
"Thank you for the second master, thank you Mi Gong!"
The soldier bowed his head in thanks, and looked at Li Mi with deep gratitude in his eyes. Li Mi's hand bought people's hearts and played beautifully, but Shan Xiongxin didn't think of this meaning at all. Li Mi beckoned the soldier to him, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Tell me the truth, how is the battle situation now?" ”
The soldier was grateful to Li Mi for interceding for him, and hurriedly told him about the situation in Wagangzhai during these days. When he learned that the big boss Zhai Rang had led his army to retreat to the village, and was forced by Zhang Xutuo to dare not go out of the city to face the battle, Shan Xiongxin's face suddenly became extremely ugly, but Li Mi still looked calm. After listening to the soldier's detailed explanation, he nodded and said, "You go down to rest first, and I will discuss with the second master how to break the enemy." ”
"Mi Gong...... Looks like we're going to have to hurry up. ”
Shan Xiongxin said in a low voice.
Li Mi pondered for a while and waved his hand and said: "Wagangzhai is strong, Zhang Xutuo's troops are insufficient to besiege from all sides, so you don't have to be too anxious, Second Brother Shan, and Zhang Xutuo's Qi County soldiers and horses have been out for several months, and the grain and grass will inevitably be poor, if he wants to win, it is nothing more than to lure our Wagangzhai soldiers and horses out of the city for a decisive battle, in my opinion, it is better to ...... like this."
He whispered his plan in Shan Xiongxin's ear, and Shan Xiongxin's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Secret Princess's clever plan!"
Li Mi smiled and said: "Since Second Brother Shan thinks that this plan is feasible, then I will rush back to Wagang Village to meet Brother Zhai first, but Second Brother Shan doesn't have to rush back to the village, just wait for the signal from me and Brother Zhai, and then act according to our agreement!" ”
"Just listen to Mi Gong!"
Shan Xiongxin hugged his fist.
……
……
Zhang Xutuo sent Geng San to lead 2,000 men and horses to attack the Nanzhai Gate of Wagangzhai, but because of the lack of siege equipment, although the attack was fierce, it did not pose too serious a threat to Wagangzhai. Although dozens of ladders were built overnight, they failed to attack the city wall, and seeing that they had lost two or three hundred county soldiers and had no success, Geng San retreated with his men and horses.
After Geng San came down, Zhang Yuan went up with men and horses to continue the attack.
Although the progress of the offensive is not large, but the continuous rotation of the Qi County soldiers makes the defenders of Wagangzhai a headache, Wang Bo is guarding the south gate today, has been sticking to the city wall, and is also very irritated by the kraft candy attack of the Qi County soldiers and horses, the men and horses can not be withdrawn, the soldiers are getting more and more tired, there are not many enemies, and the feather arrows are wasted a lot.
Just fighting, Wang Bodang found something, he immediately became excited, and ordered his deputy village master to command the city, he turned around and hurried down the city wall to see Zhai Rang, Zhai Rang was pacing back and forth in the Juyi Hall, and he was also very annoyed. Seeing Wang Bodang coming, he immediately greeted him and asked, "Zhang Xutuo has retreated?" ”
"Nope!"
Wang Bodang replied breathlessly.
"Then why don't you stay on the walls!"
Zhai Rang said with some displeasure.
Uncle Wang pulled Zhai Rang's sleeve and said, "Big brother, you come with me to the city wall to have a look, I have something to tell you." ”
Zhai Rang was pulled by him, and when he asked him what was going on, Wang Bodang didn't say anything, but only said that he would understand when he got to the city wall, and Zhai Rang had no choice but to follow him up the city wall. Wang Bodang pointed to the Qi County men and horses who were attacking the city outside, and said in a slightly excited tone: "Big brother, you see, the soldiers and horses of Qi County are also tired of touching!" I just don't know if it's really tired, or if it's suspicious. ”
Zhai Rang followed Wang Bodang's guidance and looked over, and really saw the Qi soldiers and horses in the rear team sitting lazily on the ground, three in groups of five, looking without any spirit at all.
"I'm afraid it's Zhang Xutuo's suspicious tactics, lead us out of the city, and he will bring men and horses to kill him!"
Zhai Rang was a little timid by Zhang Xutuo, and the first thing that came to mind was whether this would be a trap set by Zhang Xutuo. Wang Bodang pointed farther away and said, "Big brother, there seems to be something wrong in the camp of the Qi County soldiers!" ”
Zhai Rang raised his eyes and looked over, and could vaguely see many people walking back and forth in the camp of Qi County, as if they were carrying something, and after looking at it for a while, he suddenly said in surprise: "Isn't it...... Zhang Xutuo is leaving? ”
Wang Bodang nodded and said: "Zhang Xutuo is short of food, in my opinion, nine times out of ten, he can't hold on." Now that the people of the imperial court have won in the Eastern Capital, and Yang Guang has also left Yanmen Pass and returned to Jiangdu, there is no need for him to fight with us anymore. The soldiers and horses of Qi County under his command also suffered a lot of losses, and besides, if he didn't return for a long time, there would be no change on the Qi County side. ”
"That being said, who knows if Zhang Xutuo is cheating again?"
"Or ......"
Wang Bodang thought for a while and said, "I'll take someone out of the east gate and test it?" ”
"I don't want it."
Zhai Rang sighed: "Now that the troops in the stockade are insufficient, if he is ambushed by Zhang Xutuo, he will take advantage of the situation to attack the stockade, then it will be too late to regret it." We just have to wait and respond to all changes. ”
Wang Bodang thought about it, so he didn't mention it anymore.
Just watching, suddenly a pro-soldier ran up to the city wall panting, hugged his fists and said to Zhai Rang: "Big boss, Mi Gong has arrived!" ”
"Where's Mi Gong?"
Zhai Rang asked eagerly.
"Brother Zhai! I am here! ”
Li Mi went directly into the village from the west gate, first went to the Juyi Hall, and immediately rushed over after learning that Zhai Rang was on the south gate city wall, he quickly climbed the city wall, and said as he walked: "Brother Zhai, long time gone!" ”
