Chapter 449: An Unusual Night

It's not that Li Xian didn't know what the generals of Yanyunzhai were discussing in private, but he didn't care much. In his opinion, it is a very normal thing for the people below to discuss and advise him to be promoted to the throne, and these people follow him just to find a good future, although most of them have an excellent relationship with him, but there is no doubt that no one is purely selfless to follow him just to seek a happy life.

In this troubled era, it is not easy for Li Xian to gather a group of righteous men around him, and then expect his subordinates to have no desires and no desires, which is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Now the generals under Li Xian's command, except for a dozen or so who are desperately following him, most of them feel that they have a future and a bright future after him. Li Xian also gave them the most generous, and among the rebels, it can be said that Yanyunzhai's salary and silver treatment is the best. But no matter how rich the money is, it is gradually difficult to satisfy them. If all they want is silver, they can pull a team to loot and make a living in the troubled times, and the income will definitely be more lucrative than what they get in Yanyun Village.

But it was a thief, a thief who was despised.

What they want is a bright status and a bright future.

Li Xian knew very well what his subordinates wanted, but he just didn't expect it to come so soon. The matter discussed by the people below was not raised for a while, and Li Xian naturally couldn't take the initiative to dissuade them and said that you don't talk about this matter, I don't have this plan yet. Now that it has been proposed, Li Xian has no reason or excuse to stop them.

Li Xian established Yanyunzhai and called himself a general, at that time Yanyunzhai was only a team of more than 1,000 people, there was nothing wrong with him calling himself a general, and he could manage the men and horses by assigning a few captains. But now Yanyunzhai has 100,000 soldiers, and if it is facing a battle of life and death, it will be a terrifying number to gather the Tian Ding in Tuntian from all over the country. There are already dozens of generals under him, and if he is still a general, this is extremely inappropriate.

The generals are still generals, and no matter what, it's a bit chaotic and humble.

Li Xian looked at the people in front of him, pondered for a while, and slowly shook his head: "It's not that I pretend to refuse to accept you, it's just that the matter of claiming the king is really too hasty." Many things in the village have not yet been straightened out, whether it is military affairs or civil governance, they have not yet been completely stabilized and down-to-earth. ”

"The Lord"

Du Ruhui bowed down and said: "The matter of the lord being the king is not our impulsive idea. My lord, think about it, if there is no name among the rebels of all walks of life today? The small rebel armies have all been annexed or destroyed, and now the rebel armies in the north have gained a firm foothold, each owning several counties. And to govern the territory, it is natural that there can be no rules and regulations. If the lord is promoted, it is natural for the people of the three counties to respect you. ”

"Hebei Dou Jiande, has been promoted to the Xia king, Wagangzhai Li Mi calls himself the Duke of Wei, Du Fuwei calls himself the Duke of Gaoyou, the chief manager, and Xu Yuanlang calls himself the Duke of Xiaoyao. The so-called name is right, and with a name, the people of the territory will have a sense of belonging, and they will follow the lord with all their hearts. The people's return to their hearts is the foundation for achieving great things. ”

"Please think twice."

He bowed his head.

Li Xian nodded, he understood what Du Ruhui meant. Du Ruhui represents the views of the literati, as well as those of the children of the military families. He knew that if he didn't make a name for himself, those children of the family would not see hope, and naturally they would not waste time in Yanyunzhai anymore. A lord without ambition is not worthy of their assistance. If he is really the king, I am afraid that many people from the family will take the initiative to contact him immediately.

For Yanyunzhai, this is very beneficial.

But Li Xian still felt a little hasty, according to Yanyunzhai's current strength, even if he was called the king, it would not be too much, but once he became the king, it would indeed attract many people to take refuge, and at the same time, it would also attract the jealousy of others. As long as Yanyunzhai is stable for another year or two, when the grain in the counties is hoarded, the granaries are full, the people's hearts are smooth, the soldiers are strong, and then there is a move to be the king, even if there is an enemy to attack, there is no need to worry about anything.

He is an ambitious man, and it is not without the slightest temptation for him to call him king, on the contrary, putting the word king in front of his name is undoubtedly an affirmation of life, a sign of a man's success, and a kind of glory and pride.

He was just too calm, and the first thing he thought of was not the benefits of being the king, but the possible negative impact after being the king.

"Ann Zhi"

Daxi Changru and Zhang Zhongjian walked out from behind everyone with a smile, and the generals of Yanyunzhai separated the passage to open a way for the two of them.

Li Xian sighed when he saw the two of them, and said in his heart that even these two old guys had been persuaded to be lobbyists.

"Anzhi, people's hearts are irreversible, if you hesitate any longer, the army's heart will be unstable."

Daxi Changru Road.

Zhang Zhongjian smiled and said, "Actually, even if they don't say it, I and Lu Chen originally planned to mention this matter to you." Today they came to me and the lawyer, and we can say that we coincide. ”

"Now there are dozens of generals under your command, if you don't get promoted, how can you control your subordinates? How to issue a military order? ”

"That's it......"

Li Xian thought for a while and said: "Send someone to the camp on the south bank of the Yellow River, and order Liu Man to temporarily take the position of general and summon the majestic sea back." Then send someone to Licheng to let Pei Caozhi temporarily take over his position, and recall both Mao Gong and Biting Jin. You draw up a charter and discuss it together when they all come back. Mao Gong is the safest and most prudent, and you need to listen to his advice. ”

Everyone also knew that it was impossible to get Li Xian to agree to their request at one time, and Li Xian could nod and seriously consider their suggestion, which was good news. At the very least, it shows that the lord is still interested in being promoted, and it does not directly destroy their hope.

"I'll send people to the camp on the south bank, and send people to Licheng."

Daxi Changru smiled, very freely.

……

Wagang Village

Li Mi sat on a chair and looked at the book quietly, holding a book of the Art of War in his hand, with many sentences circled on it, which shows that he read it very carefully and carefully. Maybe it was because he had been sitting for a long time, Li Mi felt that his body was a little numb, so he straightened up and stretched a little, because he sat up straight and happened to see himself in the bronze mirror.

Pushan Gong, who was once handsome, and Li Mi, the first talent of the Great Sui Dynasty who once made countless girls crazy, now half of his face is like the dead bark of the mountain peach tree that Li Xian transplanted in the small yard, because of the contusion, only half of the eyebrows on the injured half of the face are left, the nose has been twisted, half of it has collapsed, and the most terrifying thing is his face, the half of the dead wood-like face makes people shudder.

Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, Li Mi frowned slightly.

He put down the book in his hand, stood up and walked to the bronze mirror near the hanger. When he was sitting, he couldn't see it, and as soon as he stood up and left, his already collapsed image completely collapsed. He was lame, and when he walked, he was walking with one leg pulling the other, and the boulder smashed his big tent, and a broken log pierced his right leg directly, and although his leg was saved, he could no longer walk normally.

Li Mi, the once suave Pushan Gong, is still dressed in brocade clothes and jade belts, but where is there still a bit of the temperament of a once graceful son? It looks like a wolf with a broken hind leg, downcast, desolate, but still with a little pride. He moved to the bronze mirror with some difficulty, and looked at himself in the mirror in a daze.

Li Mi slowly raised his hand, stroked half of his dead wood-like face, and stroked the other half of his smooth jade-like face, the movement of his hand was very slow, and a kind of sadness and anger in his eyes began to overflow irrepressibly.

Yes!

Li Mi roared violently and punched the bronze mirror.

With a bang, the bronze mirror flipped and fell to the ground, the hanger also collapsed, his fist also broke the skin, and the blood fell down his fingers, falling on the ground to depict a few plum blossoms.

"Li Xian!"

Li Mi bit his lip, raised his hand violently and rubbed it the injured half of his face, as if he wanted to rub off the dead wood-like flesh, the force on his fingers was very strong, and his whole face was twisted and deformed by his own rubbing. Li Mi, who was already as ugly as a ghost, looked even more hideous and terrifying at this time.

"I'm going to kill you......"

Li Mi looked at himself in the mirror, and the hatred in his eyes pierced his heart like a knife.

"I'm going to skin you and eat your flesh."

He gritted his teeth and spoke, his voice hoarse as that of a beast.

At this time, someone outside his study suddenly shouted: "Wei Gongke?" His subordinate Wang Dangren asked to see him. ”

Hearing someone call him, Li Mi was stunned for a moment, then leaned over and picked up the bronze mirror, straightened the hanger, and then hid his hand behind his back: "Dangren, where are there so many rules, just come in directly." Come, come, I just thought of something, and I was about to send someone to invite you over. ”

Li Mi let a kind smile appear on his face, but this smile was a little hideous no matter how he looked at it.

Wang Dangren entered the door, turned around and saw that no one saw him, he quickly closed the door of the study, and then bowed down and whispered to Li Mi: "Duke Wei, his subordinates have discovered a confidential matter, and they dare not hide it, so they specially came to report it to Duke Wei." ”

Li Mi stretched out his hand to help Wang Dangren and said with a smile: "They are all their own brothers, if you have anything to say, just say it directly." Come on, come on, sit down and say. ”

Wang Dangren insisted on refusing to sit down, but lowered his voice and said, "Duke Wei, it's not me who is playing right and wrong. But this matter is indeed not trivial, if Wei Gong does not prepare early, it will be impossible to say that the villain's calculations! The subordinates also looked at the injustice and were angry, so they hurriedly came to discuss with Duke Wei. ”

"What the hell is going on?"

Li Mi personally poured Wang Dangren a cup of tea and asked.

Wang Dangren hurriedly thanked him, and then said mysteriously: "When Zhang Liang and I inspected the barracks today, I heard a few soldiers in the inner battalion talking about something, it was the personal soldiers under the second brother Shan, Zhang Liang and I went over to ask, they refused to say at first, and they were tied up and beaten by me, and they said it immediately." ”

"Dangren!"

Li Mi was a little displeased and said: "After all, it is Second Brother Shan's personal soldier, how can you be so reckless!" Let's go, let's go now, I'll go with you to compensate Second Brother Shan. ”

"Wei Gong!"

Wang Dangren hurriedly said: "What an apology! Shan Xiongxin said bad things about you in front of Zhai Rang today, saying that you are now crippled and are not qualified to lead hundreds of thousands of troops in Wagangzhai. He asked Zhai Rang to take back the military power and asked Zhai Rang to be promoted to the throne and become king. We have 300,000 soldiers and horses in the outer battalion, all of which are gathered together to assist you Duke Wei. Without you, Wagangzhai could have achieved what it is today? Shan Xiongxin is so affectionate! ”

Li Mi paused for a moment and said with a smile: "I have not recovered from my serious injuries, and I am indeed not suitable to continue to lead the troops, besides, Meng Rang was defeated a while ago, and I don't have the face to lead the troops and horses again." ”

"Wei Gong!"

Wang Dangren said eagerly: "Don't chill the hearts of the brothers! If you don't take charge of the army, do you want us to follow that single man? ”

"Don't insult Second Brother Shan, if Second Brother Shan hadn't led the troops to pick me up in Wagangzhai, I can't say that my life has been lost in the Eastern Capital, and I can't be ungrateful."

"Mi Gong!"

At this time, Zhang Liang stepped into the room: "Mi Gong, the brothers have discussed it, and they plan to hold a banquet today to celebrate Mi Gong's recovery, what do you think?" ”

"Thank you for your kindness! Wine is naturally to be drunk, and I can't help but know how to lift it. ”

Li Mi smiled and said: "By the way, you go and invite Brother Zhai, Second Brother Shan and they all come over, and they will have a good gathering tonight, in addition, the generals of the inner camp are also invited over, don't let people say that the people in our outer camp have no rules." It's in the Juyi Hall, where it is spacious, Zhang Liang, you go to Zhang Luo in person. ”

"I understand!"

Zhang Liang nodded, and then gave Wang Dangren a look. Wang Dangren understood, confessed, and walked out with Zhang Liang.

When the figures of the two people disappeared from sight, Li Mi suddenly smiled weirdly, the smile on the corner of his mouth was cruel and vicious, and the killing intent in his eyes was so strong that it almost couldn't be dissolved.

"Tonight...... It's going to be very unusual. ”
