Li Miren was on the bed, but he was unabated, and said softly: "Princess, I have summoned you here today because I have something important to discuss. www.biquge.info Now that Li Jing has sent people to attack Jindi Pass, Jindi Pass is in an emergency, and I don't know what the princes have to deal with it. ”

The Wagang people were silent for a while, and when Qin Shubao saw it, he suddenly felt that the situation at hand was somewhat familiar. couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Cheng Yanjin, and found that he was also looking at himself, and the eyes of the two flashed at the touch of a button, and they both saw the helplessness and desolation between each other.

Of course, there was also a gap in his eyes, Qin Shubao suddenly thought that when he was under General Zhang's account, he also saw Cheng Biting Jin's gaze, and it turned out that the betrayal had already begun at that time!

How similar is this scene to before Zhang Xutuo's tent?

Everyone was silent, not because they had no plans, but because they didn't want to contribute anymore. A sense of trepidation rose in their hearts now. Although Wagang has now conquered most of Henan's land, bandits from all over the country have persuaded Li Mi to be the king and submit to the table, but no one knows how to develop now.

Back to Luocang, Liyangcang was recaptured by the Sui army, the eastern capital, Liyang, Xiangyang three places have been Wagang pressed in a triangle, Li Mi is still persistently preparing for the next attack on the eastern capital, but Xiao Buyi is not ready to give him another chance, Xiao Buyi from the beginning of the defense, to the later stalemate, now it is time to counterattack, Wagang stick to Luokoucang, how much more can he do?

Zhai Rang coughed lightly, "Who is guarding Jindi Pass now?" ”

Some were speechless, some were silent, and some really didn't know, Li Mi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "It's Zu Junyan, this son is very scheming, with the assistance of Chang He and Zhang Liang, I asked Chai Xiaohe to also support, the high walls of Jindi Pass are thick, and it is impossible for Li Jing to follow suit and take the battle of Liyang." ”

The Wagang people all breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhai Hong said with a grin: "In this case, what are we worried about, let's go back to sleep." ”

"Zhai Hong, don't talk too much." Zhai Rang reprimanded.

Zhai Hongbian flattened his mouth and snorted coldly, Li Mi was unhappy in his heart, but he tried his best to suppress it, "Jindi Pass is just a message released by the Eastern Capital, think about the past, I will wait for Kejin Diguan, go down to Xingyang, seize Luokou, fight Luoshui, defeat Wang Shichong, and fight Dongdu is powerless." Such actions are earth-shattering, but now the Eastern Capital is a repeat offender, if you don't give a head-on blow, I am afraid that the next step will be even more arrogant. ”

Li Mi said that they were all proud, some of the Wagang people were excited, some were silent, Wang Bodang said loudly: "Yes, we should take the initiative to attack, according to my plan, it is better to divide the troops to help Jindi Pass first, disperse the besieging Sui army there, and then go to capture Liyang City!" ”

Although his momentum was strong, but no one responded, he was a little embarrassed, Li Mi smiled and said: "Bodang's courage is commendable, which is worthy of appreciation." What do you claim? ”

Fang Xuanzao frowned and said, "Duke Wei, now in my opinion, the situation in Wagang is critical. Xiao Buyi is extremely insidious, he is not in a hurry to attack Luokou, but only sent Zhang Zhenzhou and Wang Shichong to contain our main force, but now there are Sui soldiers who keep sending troops to Yique to expel our Wagang army, making people panic, and returning to Luo is undoubtedly waiting to be killed! ”

"What about you?" Li Mi frowned and asked.

"Now the road to the west is all cut off, and Xiangyang is involved in the south, and one road is to go straight to the east, take Xu Yuanlang's Langxie and Dongping land, hold Shandong and defend it, and plot the land of Dou Jiande in Hebei. If we wait for the abandoned Central Plains to reverse the corners of the map, and take the land of Shandong and Hebei, it is not impossible to make a comeback. ”

"How does this work?" Zhai Rang finally spoke on the side, "I waited for an alliance with Xu Yuanlang, Dou Jiande and others, and it doesn't seem kind to take their territory?" ”

Zhai Rang spoke, Bing Yuanzhen, Wang Ruxin and others all nodded, Li Mi smiled and said, "Then I don't know what the second way of Xuanzao is?" ”

"The second way is to go down the canal, take the land of Jianghuai, and attack Jiangdu. If you can take down the Jiangdu, capture the dog emperor Yang Guang, and temporarily divide the river to rule, it is a bad strategy. ”

Zhai Hong shouted: "What kind of bullshit idea is this, we are good in Wagang, why do we want to go to the south, I don't agree with this idea!" ”

Although Zhai Hong is reckless, this time he said what most people think, everyone is a thief in Henan, deep-rooted, and he is unwilling to stay away.

Seeing everyone's opposition, Li Mi coughed lightly, and the strategy of the heart Dao Fang Xuanzao sounded very beautiful, but he didn't think about the original surname of the Wagang people, which was the same reason that these people refused to cross the eastern capital to take Xijing at the beginning.

In any case, it is a big problem to get these people to leave their homes. In fact, not only the Wagang people, even Li Mi didn't want to give up the Central Plains to make people laugh, now that the forces are so strong and they are defeated, what is the use of making a comeback?

It's just that when I saw everyone's expressions, I was shocked in my heart, and secretly thought that the Wagang people had been defeated by Xiao Buyi one after another, and they had long been afraid of Xiao Buyi, could it be that they were so pessimistic, and felt that this Luokoucang still couldn't hold it after all?

Trying his best to get rid of this pessimistic atmosphere, Li Mi said quietly: "What Xuanzao said also makes sense, but for now, ...... It also needs to be considered in the long term. ”

Everyone was silent, and suddenly a herald outside the room said in a loud voice: "Duke Wei, there is an urgent military situation in Wagang!" ”

The Wagang people were slightly shocked, the herald had already presented the military text, Fang Xuanzao took it and wanted to hand it to Li Mi, but Li Mi waved his hand to let him read it, Fang Xuanzao opened his eyes and looked at it, his face changed slightly: "The Sui army attacked Wagang Village, broke three villages in a row, Hao Xiaode and Wang Dangren resisted desperately, and then killed the Sui army." Wang Dangren was only afraid that the Sui soldiers would commit another offense, so he asked for support from the Duke of Wei. ”

There was an uproar from everyone, and there were many discussions, Zhai Rang couldn't sit still, and hurriedly asked, "How is Wushuang?" It turns out that Zhai Rang's will has not been strong, and Li Mi's business is getting bigger and bigger, but Zhai Rang has no bottom in his heart, and he wants to turn back to Wagang several times, only to feel that it is far more comfortable to drill into the mountains than to live in this big house. It can be seen that Li Mi is prosperous, plundering countless jewels, and has remorse, so he turned around several times. But after all, he didn't worry about his daughter, so he let Zhai Wushuang stay in Wagang, thinking that Wagang was just surrounded by mountains, but it didn't occupy any geographical advantages, and he wanted the Sui army to take care of himself, of course, he didn't have the leisure to fight Wagang, and at this moment he heard that the Sui army attacked Wagang, which was really more shocking than the Sui army's attack on Jindi Pass.

Fang Xuanzao glanced at the letter, shook his head and said, "The eldest lady is fine." ”

Zhai Rang let go of his worries, frowned and said, "Duke Wei, I want to take some soldiers back to Wagang in a few days, I don't know what Duke Wei wants?" ”

Li Mi frowned, and said in an instant: "It should be so, in a few days, I will order all the people and let the owner of the village turn around Wagang to see." After Zhai Rang pushed Li Mi as the master, he gave Li Mi the honorific title of Duke of Wei, and after Li Mi ascended the throne, he named Zhai Rang as the Shangzhu State and the Duke of Dongjun, and his eldest brother Zhai Hong was also named a pillar country and Xingyang Gong, but Li Mi is also used to calling Zhai Rang the lord of the village, one to show closeness, and the other is to represent that he does not dare to forget his roots.

Zhai Rang's heart was comfortable when he heard this, nodded, and led a group of subordinates out of Li Mi's mansion first.

The rest of the people saw Zhai Rang leaving, and they also said goodbye one after another, everyone was discussing the attack on Jindi Pass, but they all looked good, and rarely came up with any ideas, and when they left, Li Mi found that the team was a mess, and sighed.

Everyone left, and Fang Xuanzao, Wang Bodang and Cai Jiande were left in the room, all three of whom had angry faces, obviously dissatisfied with the performance of the Wagang people.

Li Mi glanced at the three of them, and suddenly a sense of desolation surged in his heart, secretly thinking that when he first arrived in Wagang, it was these three people who followed, but he didn't expect that after more than a year, it was these three people who could be trusted.

"Duke Wei, I see that Zhai Rang and Zhai Hong are not enough to succeed and more than to lose, as soon as they leave, I am afraid that Wagang will be taken away by them, so it is better to get rid of them, and there will be no trouble." Wang Bodang said in a deep voice.

Li Mi was silent, and Cai Jiande also said: "Duke Wei, I heard that after Wang Ruxin turned around, he let Zhai Rang be the head of the company, and wanted to deprive you of your rights. Wang Ruxin was originally captured, but he was released by Li Jing, I am only afraid that they have reached an agreement. I also heard that although Zhai Rang disagreed, Zhai Hong said that the Son of Heaven should be his own brother, and if Zhai Rang does not become the Son of Heaven, then let him Zhai Hong be the Son of Heaven. ”

Li Mi snorted coldly, "He doesn't look at his own weight, Xuanzao, what do you suggest?" ”

Fang Xuanzao smiled bitterly: "Gong Wei, I found that the four words insatiable are really suitable for Zhai Rang and Zhai Hong. Although Zhai Rang did not attach importance to the position of power, he was extremely greedy for money, and some time ago, Cui Shishu, the head of Yanling, came to defect, but he imprisoned people and tortured them to ask for money. And he is often a good gambler, he has never liked to lose money, and he did not come to gamble during the prison sentence in the marshal's office, and he actually took the sentence of eighty rods. Many newcomers in Wagang were blackmailed by Zhai Rang, and he actually told me that when I broke through Runan, I took a lot of jewelry, but it was all given to Wei Gong, he asked me for it, threatened me, Wei Gong is also his support, and no one can say for sure what the world is changing! I obeyed the orders of the Duke of Wei, but I tried my best to restrain myself, those jewels were originally used to equip the rebels, where is the money for him? ”

The three of you are not indignant when you say a word, and I say a word, Wang Bodang drew a knife and chopped it on the table, and said coldly: "Duke Wei, if it is inconvenient for you to make a move, I will kill Zhai Rang." The internal army has our loyal people, as long as we find dozens of people to go out, we can do it cleanly. Zhai Rang, Zhai Hong, and Wang Ruxin are the first evils, and only three people are killed, which has nothing to do with the overall situation. ”

Li Mi was originally angry, but when he heard this, he waved his hand and said, "What's the difference between you and me?" Now that Wagang's morale is low, it is time to work together, if they are killed, the Sui army will attack, only afraid that others will be afraid, and they will leave in an instant, Luokoucang may not be able to defend it, and the gains really outweigh the losses. ”

"But are you just going to let them make trouble?" All three asked.

Li Mi sighed lightly, "Li Jing deliberately let Wang Ruxin go, just to deliberately provoke our relationship with Zhai Rang, how could he fall for his annihilation?" Zhai Rang left just right, if he took his cronies back to Wagang, from now on which loyalty I can see clearly. We've done our best, and it won't be so easy for him to turn around next time. Go to Zhai Rang, we Wagang went to the tumor, but we can work together to fight against the Sui army, as long as we design to defeat Wang Shichong and Zhang Zhen, we don't have to go far, we can rebuild the great cause! Don't be reckless, even if I apologize to the three of them on their behalf, okay? ”

As soon as he said this, the three of them all knelt down and said: "Since Duke Wei has ordered so, there is absolutely no reason for his subordinates to disobey him. ”

Li Mi breathed a long sigh of relief, touched the wound on his waist, and said with resentment in his eyes: "Xiao Buyi, I will definitely return you for this arrow's revenge." ”

**

When Li Mi and Fang Xuanzao and others were discussing, Zhai Hong was also discussing with Zhai Rang in the room, and there was a Wang Ruxin next to the two brothers, and the three of them were also frowning.

Fang Xuanzao and the others looked angry, and Zhai Hong was also full of anger, "Brother, this Wagang was originally yours, what is Li Mi, shouting in front of us?" ”

"All I see is you yelling." Zhai Rang said dissatisfiedly: "Big brother, how many times have I told you, don't have a conflict with Duke Wei, we don't seek wealth or anger, Duke Wei's martial arts are not bad, if you want to kill you, ten of them will have been cut by him with a knife." ”

Zhai Hong snorted coldly: "That's not necessarily. ”

Wang Ruxin saw the two brothers arguing, and hurriedly explained: "Why should the two leaders hurt the harmony for outsiders, the owner of the village, what I told you...... How did you think about it? ”

As soon as he spoke, Zhai Rang changed color slightly, glanced at Zhai Hong and said, "Big brother, go back and rest." ”

Zhai Hong stood up angrily, "I think outsiders are closer than you, the eldest brother!" ”

He walked out of Zhai Rang's room angrily, Zhai Rang had already retreated, but he still stood up and looked around, and closed the door after making sure that no one was there, and said in a deep voice: "Confucianism, do you think Li Jing is credible?" ”

Wang Ruxin sighed lightly: "No matter what, it's more credible than Li Mi." The owner of the village, Li Jing said that I turned around, Xiao Buyi has already put down his words, as long as we are willing to abandon the dark and turn to the light, we will definitely be spared and not killed. Xiao Buyi is quite benevolent and righteous, the last time he broke the tile gang, he asked Xu Shiji to escort us, in fact, he meant to let us go, but we didn't know his hard work, but trusted Li Mi and led the wolf into the room, which is really a pity. ”

Zhai Rang's face was cloudy, "But after all, we don't have a deep relationship with Xiao Buyi, we have been thieves for a long time, and we are really a thorn in the side of Da Sui, just based on Li Jing's words, I can't rest assured after all." ”

Wang Ruxin laughed, "The owner of the village is really worried, in fact, Xiao Buyi's current thorn in his eye is Li Mi, he not only released us before, but also released the assassins Wushuang and Mo Sheng, just with this kind of action, we took refuge in him, how can he be unfavorable to us?" Don't talk about adding officials to knighthood, there are always some rewards. If we can get to the Eastern Capital, with only our current money, will we not be comfortable living a lifetime? The owner of the village, you have said it, and you don't want to be the emperor, so what to do with Li Mi? Even if he conquers the world, he is the emperor, you can see just that he blindly reuses outsiders and excludes the old man of Wagang, and if he conquers the world, he may kill all of us. Besides, even if you can't believe Xiao Buyi, but Xu Shiji is now in Xiangyang, and Xiao Buyi is extremely reused, with him, are you still afraid that Xiao Buyi will harm you? ”

Zhai Rang's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "What Confucianism said is very true, I forgot that there are still world achievements, so my idea of turning Wagang is right?" ”

Wang Ruxin frowned and said: "If the owner of the village wants to take refuge in Xiao Buyi, why should he go back to Wagang first?" ”

Zhai Rang smiled bitterly: "Confucianism, you don't know, I'm really a little scared of this Li Mi, this person is strong in martial arts, and his subordinates, do you know why he has been refusing to kill me?" ”

Wang Ruxin said in a deep voice: "I'm just afraid that he is buying people's hearts, after all, Wagang was created by the owner of the village, if he dares to kill you, Wagang will fall apart in an instant." ”

Zhai Rang nodded and said: "Confucianism, what you said is the same as I thought, but this person's patience is limited after all, Zhai Hong doesn't understand the truth, so he blindly contradicts, which really makes me anxious!" There are some things I'd rather have with you than talk to him about it. Now half of the Wagang people are following Li Mi, Sancheng is still waiting, and our cronies are only less than 20%. Fortunately, Li Jing attacked Wagang and gave me an excuse to openly turn Wagang. ”

Wang Ruxin said suddenly: "It turns out that the main owner of the village has already had the idea of taking refuge in Xiao Buyi, and I was worried for a long time. ”

Zhai Rang smiled on his old face, "Confucianism, in fact, I have been thinking about it for a long time, if we take the liberty to go to the Eastern Capital, firstly, it is too abrupt, I am afraid that we will be beheaded by the city soldiers first, and secondly, we are not good at revealing our identities, but the most important point is that if Li Mi knows and sends troops to chase and kill, we will not be able to resist." So we first turned to Wagang under the pretext of turning, and then went to Liyang! ”

Wang Ruxin patted his thigh and said: "The master of the village is clever, I am ashamed of myself." What you said is extremely true, Wagang is the closest to Liyang, as long as we get to Liyang and have Li Jing's protection, why be afraid of Li Mi! ”

Zhai Rang sighed lightly: "Confucianism, this time it is related to our net worth and surname, don't leak the news, you and I plan, even if Zhai Hong, I can't let him know." ”

Wang Ruxin nodded again and again, and the two buried their heads in one place, and began to discuss the details of the surrender......**

In order to be safe, Zhai Rang even hid his eldest brother from his surname, but he was afraid that Zhai Hong would leak the news and affect them. When Zhai Hong saw his brother discussing with outsiders, he obviously didn't take his eldest brother to heart, and came out with a stomach full of resentment.

When he returned to the house, he called two women to accompany him to drink, and then drank the stuffy wine.

He is irritable, and apart from his temper, the rest can be said to be good at nothing. The old courtiers of Wagang all looked at Zhai Rang's face and let him take a horse, and the newly returned Cheng Yanjin, Qin Shubao, Wang Junkuo and others did not look at him. In Wagangzhai now, except for Shan Xiongxin and Jia Xiong, there has been no one who can speak.

When he was drunk, Zhai Hong felt bored, waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to ask people to find Shan Xiongxin and Jia Xiong. The subordinates left in a hurry, and it took a long time before they turned around, and said with a bitter face: "Zhai is in charge, General Shan and Jia Xiong are not in the mansion. ”

Now Luokoucang is the foundation, the heavy soldiers and fierce generals of the Wagang army are all gathered in Luokou, Li Mi and others are resting in Luokou City, paying close attention to the movements of the Sui army on the other side of Luoshui, and echoing Luokoucang from afar. Zhai Hong was bored, but he was afraid that he would not have his own share of the spoils, so he stayed in Luokou with his brother.

This time I was about to go crazy, and when I heard my subordinates say that they couldn't find Shan and Jia, they slapped them and fanned them, "Can they still fly to the sky?" Keep looking! ”

The subordinates covered their faces and rushed out, the more Zhai Hong drank, the more tasteless he became, and then another subordinate came down to say, "Zhai is in charge, Jia Runfu asks to see." ”

Zhai Hong was so drunk that he didn't figure out who Jia Runfu was after thinking for a long time, and his subordinates could only remind: "It's the person who surrendered with Pei Renji, and he is a partial general under Pei Renji." ”

"What did he come to me for?" Zhai Hong was very strange, if in addition to Shan Xiongxin and Jia Xiong in Wagang, this Jia Runfu has also seen a few times, he knows that he is kind and angry, and he has always respected himself, and he is worried that he has no wine partner, Zhai Hong waved his hand and said, "Let him come in." ”

Jia Runfu frowned slightly when he saw Zhai Hong's drunken appearance, and said in a deep voice: "Xingyang Gong, it is really rude to have not come to visit after being in Xiatoucheng for so long. ”

Zhai Hong was somewhat happy when he was called by Xingyang Gong: "Sit down and drink with me." ”

He forced a wine glass over, Jia Runfu couldn't help frowning, he originally had some deep meaning when he came here, and wanted to make friends with Zhai Hongpan, where did he think that Zhai Hong was drunk and didn't look good. wanted to get up, but was pulled by Zhai Hong, "What, look down on me?" ”

Jia Runfu could only laugh and say, "How dare you, how dare you." ”

"Then have a drink." Zhai Hong said with a grin.

Jia Runfu had no choice but to take the wine glass, drank it all and said, "Xingyang Gong ......"

Zhai Hong raised his thumb and continued: "Another drink." He saluted the past cup by cup, seeing that Jia Runfu was indescribably pleasing to the eye, Jia Runfu had no choice but to accompany Zhai Hong one cup at a time.

Zhai Hong was already seven or eight points drunk, after a few cups of drinking, his tongue was about to stick out, and he put his hand on Jia Runfu's shoulder, Zhai Hong said mysteriously: "Runfu, if I leave one day, are you with me, or with Li Mi?" ”

Jia Runfu looked around and said with a smile: "Actually, when I came here today, it is very telling. ”

Zhai Hong was greatly excited, and said, "Good brother...... I'll tell you a secret...... it's just that his thoughts and movements are completely out of touch at this time, his mouth has opened twice, and he has already laid down on his back.

"Duke Xingyang?" Jia Runfu pushed Zhai Hong twice, and when he saw that he was sleeping like a dead pig, he couldn't help shaking his head and frowning, and found someone to come over to help Zhai Hong to rest, and quietly left here.

**

Zhai Hong slept until dark, and when he woke up, he only felt a splitting headache, a dry mouth, and just wanted to drink water. Suddenly I felt the water dropping on my face, and I was about to open my mouth, and suddenly I felt that there was something blocked in my mouth, and the smell was coaxing.

After a few 'woo' sounds, Zhai Hong almost screamed, just because he silently found a dark place, looking up to see the stars and moon, and green starfires were floating everywhere, like a netherworld hell.

Zhai Hong wanted to scream, but his mouth was stuffed with soft rags, his hands and feet were tied, and there was cold soil under him. Zhai Rang almost thought he was dreaming at that moment, and it was an extremely terrible nightmare. But in an instant, he found that this was a living reality, because his hands and feet were in pain.

"Awake?" An eerie voice asked.

"Wake up." A more eerie voice replied.

In an instant, a flash flashed in the air, and a single knife was already on Zhai Hong's neck.

Zhai Hong struggled hard, with a 'woo' sound in his mouth, but there was a pleading look in his eyes, and he didn't know why he ended up like this.

One of his faces was covered with a black scarf, revealing only a pair of shining eyes, and said coldly: "We ask for money without hurting our lives, we only ask where your money is, you don't have to shout, otherwise, my knife will not spare you!" ”

Zhai Hong used all his strength to nod, the man reached out and took out the rags stuffed in Zhai Hong's mouth, and lowered his voice, "Where is all the money you have looted?" ”

Zhai Hong hesitated, the man stabbed down, already cut a hole in his neck, Zhai Hong didn't wait for a scream, he was already covered by another person. The two acted quickly, and it seemed that they were specifically trying to extract confessions for a living.

"If you dare to scream again, I will kill you!" The man who covered Zhai Hong's mouth said coldly, and when he saw Zhai Hong nodding, he let go of his hand, "Where is all the money you looted hidden?" ”

"It's all transported to Wagangzhai." Zhai Hong said with a bitter face: "Two masters, there are actually some in my room, if you like it, just take it." ”

His eyes rolled, and what he said was clearly not sincere. The man with the knife snorted coldly, "If you tell a lie again, I'll chop off your hand." Cui Shishu was severely tortured by you, and at least a few hundred taels of gold were handed over, this is just a recent matter, how can you have time to transport the gold to Wagangzhai? ”

Zhai Hong was shocked, "Who are you?" How do you know these things? ”
