Sometimes Zhai Rang will also complain about Wang Bodang, Bodang's vision is problematic, who is this person who recommends? Zhai Rang's attitude towards Li Mi, Li Mi was very clear, and he realized that it was time to prove himself. Li Mi actively advises Zhai Rang every time there is a war, although Zhai Rang rarely accepts it, but the development of things is often the same as Li Mi expected, accept Li Mi's construction and win the battle, and defeat the battle if he doesn't accept it, slowly Zhai Rang has to admit that this annoying boy really has some ability.

Then Li Mi took the initiative to ask Ying to recruit other rebels, for the growth of the Wagang army, Zhai Rang readily agreed, which is very cost-effective for Zhai Rang than trading, just take the opportunity to test Li Mi's ability, if he succeeds, his strength can also be strengthened, and he will not be affected if he fails.

The object that Li Mi is looking for is mostly that kind of weak strength, relying on his three-inch incorruptible tongue, he said that the leader of the righteous army is blind, even if he succeeds. "Mr. Li, you are really knowledgeable." "Where am I? Leader Zhai is more knowledgeable than me. ”

"You are so knowledgeable, Leader Zhai is more powerful than you, how much knowledge do you have to have?" "Come with me, go see and see." "Good, good." A big tree is good to enjoy the shade, this sentence is not wrong, as soon as Li Mi arrived there before, it would be considered benevolent and righteous if he didn't kill him, but now as the messenger of the Wagang Army, the leaders of the righteous army are respectful, for fear of offending the Wagang Army, and they can't eat and walk around.

Li Mi completed the task very well, not only recruited many weak and still wait-and-see rebels, but also many rebels heard that Li Mi was very benevolent and came to defect, and the strength of the Wagang army was further enhanced. Zhai Rang was very happy. Now he is very interested in Li Mi and wants to talk to him, and Li Mi also happens to want to talk to Zhai Rang.

So with such a big conversation, Zhai Rang first asked: "What kind of world is it now?" "Now is the time for heroes like Xiang Yu and Liu Bang to compete for the world," Li Mi said. Oh. Zhai Rang was very satisfied with Li Mi's answer, and he also wanted to embarrass Li Mi, "Who wouldn't say such a thing, how to do it?" "It's a tough and difficult question, but it's not hard for Li Mi. He said very calmly: "If you want to calm the world, it is not easy to be a hero like Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. ”

He glanced at Zhai Rang, as if asking, "Sample, are you?" Zhai Rang's brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something. It seems that he wants to see the gold in Li Mi. Li Mi continued: "This should be done specifically...... After a long discussion, the two worked out a battle plan, and they decided to put it into action immediately to test whether Li Mi's theory was right or wrong.

Anyone can talk about empty words, but not all of them are right, and only practice can lead to true knowledge. After this conversation. Zhai Rang had a new understanding of Li Mi, coupled with Li Mi's previous appearance, Zhai Rang vaguely felt that Li Mi's wisdom and talent were far above him. He used to be really low-eyed, and he was ashamed to say to Li Mi.

Li Mi just shook his hand and said in his mouth, let him drift away with the wind about these things, and sometimes, Li Mi will scold Zhai Rang in his heart. This guy is really hard to fool, if it weren't for the fact that I usually read a lot of books. I really can't guarantee that I will be able to fool him.

According to the plan, the Wagan army broke through the Jindi Pass first. After that, the subordinate counties of Xingyang County were successively captured as base areas to ensure an adequate supply of grain. Because these places are close to Luokoucang, where there is a large amount of grain, you can get grain on the spot. Marching and fighting, food is definitely a big problem, in such a war-torn era, there are people if there is food, if there is no food, there is no need to think, there must be no one, it is difficult to let the big guy follow you to drink the northwest wind.

Even if Jiang Taigong is resurrected, the first thing he has to solve is the problem of eating. With this strategic shift, the Wagang army solved the big problem of eating, but the real enemy was attacking them. But this is not necessarily a bad thing, at least it is a good thing for Li Mi. …

The general of the Sui Dynasty, Zhang Xutuo, crusaded against the Wagang army, as soon as he heard that it was Zhang Xutuo, Zhai Rang wilted first, he was already afraid of Zhang Xutuo, so to speak, he fought with Zhang Xutuo many times, and he never won. As soon as he heard the news, without saying a word, Leader Zhai wanted to sprinkle a girl on his legs, and ran quickly, saving his life was important, Zhang Xutuo completely became an invincible myth in his eyes.

But in Li Mi's eyes, there is no such myth, in other words, he thinks that he can defeat what a qiē man can defeat, including Zhang Xutuo, of course. For Zhai Rang, this name is terrible, and he doesn't want to hear it when he hears it; But for Li Mi, Zhang Xutuo is just a name, just as ordinary as Zhang San and Li Si, that's all. At the critical moment, Li Mi stopped Zhai Rang's stupid behavior, and he said to Zhai Rang: "Don't be afraid, there is me." "Yes, with me, the sky is falling and I am on top of it, what are you afraid of?

Looking at Li Mi's hand patting his shoulder, Zhai Rang was excited, and he said something like this: "Whether you win or lose, I listen to you." Li Mi nodded firmly in the face of Zhai Rang: "We will definitely win." "Definitely, yes, we will win. Self-confidence is the magic weapon of Li Mi's victory. Looking at Li Mi's eyes that were about to burst out, Zhai Rang's heart was a little calm, and he saw hope in this person's eyes, the hope of victory.

Confidence overcomes a qiē, including what you originally thought was invincible. Zhai Rang led the main force to face Zhang Xutuo directly, Zhang Xutuo has always looked down on Zhai Rang, advanced with a phalanx, Zhai Rang attacked, the situation was unfavorable, Zhang Xutuo took the opportunity to counterattack, there was no suspense, Zhai Rang was defeated, took the lead in escaping, and Zhang Xutuo chased more than ten miles to the north.

Just arrived at the place where Li Mi ambushed the soldiers, and saw Zhang Xutuo coming, Li Mi couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, this was the first time he independently commanded the battle, and it was also related to the life and death of the Wagang Army and himself.

Now that Zhang Xutuo was in front of him, he had already entered the range of his ambush, and Li Mi had already sensed that victory was beckoning to him, and he ordered his soldiers to attack.

It was like a sharp knife suddenly inserted into Zhang Xutuo's heart, and the result was undoubtedly Zhang Xutuo's defeat, and he could have escaped. But he came back, not to see the man who had defeated him, but to save his soldier who was still under siege. This is surprisingly similar to Li Yunlong in the bright sword, but he is not as lucky as Li Yunlong, he jumped into the encirclement and never came out. Until he died in battle (52 years old).

He proved with practical actions that the lives of soldiers and generals are the same, and there is no distinction between high and low, just as Li Yunlong said: "Our independent regiment has never left behind a living person since the day it was founded," but the price he paid was too expensive -- his life.

It is a matter of good fortune to be able to follow such a general, and his death is no less to grieve, the soldiers led by Zhang Xutuo. Weeping day and night, for days.

Although Zhang Xutuo was defeated, he was defeated! Admirable! The battle-hardened Zhang Xutuo was defeated by the newborn calf Li Mi, and this war decided the fate of the two men.

First of all, this is the last stop of Zhang Xutuo Rongma's life, and secondly, this war has a more extraordinary significance for Li Mi. He put the things in the books into practice, and he grew from a scholar who could only talk on paper to a commander who was not afraid to wield the world in danger.

Zhai Rang trusts Li Mi even more, he believes that Li Mi must have a very broad career in the future, just as Li Mi has always believed in himself. Zhai Rang asked Li Mi to form his own army, called "Pushan Gongying", and from then on Li Mi had his own independent army. Li Mizhi's army is very set, it can be said that it is no less than the famous generals of ancient times, and his military orders are strict. The soldiers obeyed the order, even in the summer, as if they were carrying frost and snow on their backs. At the same time, Li Mi was also very benevolent and righteous, frugal and simple, and all the gold, silver and jewelry he obtained were distributed to his subordinates. …

Li Mi knew that it was not easy for him to get from a prisoner to his current position, so in order not to make Zhai Rang suspicious, Li Mi was cautious in doing things. Always think about Zhai Rang, and give Zhai Rang good things first. Live frugally and keep a low profile. The first year of Yining (617). Li Mi asked Zhai Rang to build a yì attack on Luokoucang (now east of Gongxian County, Henan), and Zhai Rang agreed, but thought that his ability was not enough to do this, and said to Li Mi: "I will listen to you." ”

In February, Li Mi and Zhai Rang led 7,000 elite soldiers from Yangcheng (southeast of present-day Dengfeng County, Henan Province), crossed Fangshan (southwest of present-day Xingyang City, Henan Province), entered Luokou (southwest of present-day Gongxian County, Henan Province), and attacked Luokoucang.

Because this move was a big surprise to the Sui army, it was not resisted by the Sui army, and soon conquered Luokoucang. Li Mi opened the cellars of the granary and let the people move it at will, and the people who came to transport the grain included adults, the elderly, and children, and there was an endless stream.

Li Mi's army grew again, and the Sui general Liu Changgong waved his army to attack and was defeated by Li Mi. So Zhai Rang and others pushed Li Mi as the leader of the alliance, respected as the Duke of Wei, and set up a hundred civil and military officials, Zhai Rang was the Shangzhu State, Situ, and Dongjun Gong, Shan Xiongxin was the general of the left Wuhou, and Xu Shichang was the general of the right Wuhou.

At the last supper, Li Mi built the city of Luokoucang, forty miles around the city wall, as the location of the "marching marshal's mansion", and most of the counties south of the Yellow River were attached to Li Mi. Li Mi failed to attack the eastern capital of Luoyang several times, and at this time, his subordinates Chai Xiao and Jian yì attacked Guanzhong, which was also the middle of the three strategies that Li Mi gave Yang Xuangan.

But Li Mi did not agree, he thought that most of his soldiers were people from Henan and Hebei, and they had not captured Luoyang at present, they would not be willing to follow him into the pass, even if they reluctantly followed, as long as they failed once, the army would collapse, and the hearts of the Central Plains were unstable, only they could be shaken, and once they left, the Central Plains would re-enter the chaotic situation.

Now Li Mi has made the same mistake as Yang Xuangan at the beginning, when there is nothing, his sleeves are clear, Li Mi can maintain a high degree of vigilance to consider things, and now he is moving towards the road of the first prince in the world, he thinks that he is the number one person in the world, so his head begins to be confused, and often makes wrong judgments about the current shape.

Sometimes faced with the right construction, it is also thought that it is wrong. Li Mi made the wrong choice because he regarded himself too seriously, because he was afraid of failure, and he was afraid that all the things he had worked so hard to get would leave him when he woke up one day.

Confucius said: The brave are not afraid! Only a true brave man can reach the realm of not fearing anything, and it is clear that Li Mi is not. cares too much, but it ties yourself up. Li Mi did not attack Guanzhong, which disappointed God, and he decided to find another person to fulfill his wish to enter Guanzhong to replace Li Mi.

This person is Li Yuan. In this year, Li Yuan attacked Guanzhong. At the moment when God made his choice, Li Mi was destined to be abandoned by God. Tasting the fruits of power and victory, Li Mi was excited. Happiness came too suddenly, and he couldn't resist it.

All these years of hard work have finally come to fruition, and these years of hard work have finally paid off, and he is very glad that he did not give up in such a difficult situation.

Persistence has led him to where he is today. saw Li Miyao's martial arts appearance. Zhai Rang is nothing, after all, his IQ and ability are not as good as Li Mi, and he is already very satisfied to be the second thousand-year-old, Zhai Rang thinks so, but his brother Zhai Kuan doesn't think so. He thinks that the position of this boss should be Zhai Rang's, taking a step back, even if Zhai Rang is not the boss, and I am standing here, it will not be his turn Li Mi.

The more I thought about it, the more unbalanced Zhai Kuan's heart became. Why did he give up his good fortune to an outsider, Zhai Kuan didn't understand Zhai Rang's behavior, in his heart, he thought that Zhai Rang was a loser and an incapable person. There happened to be a subordinate general named Wang Ruxin who was afraid of Li Mi's prestige, and coincided with Zhai Kuan, because they came together for the same purpose, and they both hoped that Zhai Rang could kill Li Mi. And then be the boss yourself. …

So the two went to persuade Zhai Rang, and Zhai Kuan said very realistically: "If you are not the boss, I will be the boss." can't let him be a Li Midang. Zhai Rang said that I would think about it again, to be honest, it was also very uncomfortable in his heart, but what could I do?

His ability is not as strong as Li Mi's, his IQ is not as high as Li Mi's, and his current prestige is not as good as Li Mi's. No matter what, I can't betray. Now that I've embraced him, he's the boss. I will follow him, without him, our Wagang army would not be able to grow to what it is now.

In the heart. Zhai Rang is still very convinced of Li Mi, I can't do things that are not righteous. But Zhai Kuan and Wang Ruxin persuaded Zhai Rang to kill Li Mi, who leaked it out and Li Mi knew about it.

Li Mi's first reaction: surprised, the second reaction: the first strike is strong, and the second attack suffers. It has been said that when two people want to get the same thing but don't want to enjoy it at the same time, they become enemies of each other.

Now Li Mi is no longer the simple, idealistic, sighing scholar, after countless baptisms in the troubled times, he has learned the rules of living in the troubled times, if you want to live, you can't be merciful to those who threaten you. Now that Zhai Rang is a threat to himself, Li Mi decided to take action against Zhai Rang, and he will do what he says, without hesitation.

It happened that Zhai Rang's army and Wang Shichong's army were fighting, Zhai Rang's troops were a little overwhelmed, and they retreated a little, and Li Mi led the army to help and defeated Wang Shichong. The next day, Li Mi invited Zhai Rang and his generals to dinner, including Zhai Kuan and Wang Ruxin, of course, because Li Mi wanted to solve the matter, Zhai Rang did not hesitate, and happily came to Li Mi's military camp, to Zhai Rang's surprise, this would be his last supper.

The two comrades-in-arms who had once been close to each other finally came to the moment of the showdown. There is no choice, at this moment, Li Mi doesn't want to be a loser, so the person who fails can only be Zhai Rang. The loser will pay a terrible price, including the one qiē he originally owned.

Li Mi secretly ordered Fang Xuanzao to lead Zhai Rang's left and right to another tent to entertain them. Li Mi took out a bow for Zhai Rang to admire, and Zhai Rang sighed repeatedly: "Good bow, good bow." At this time, Li Mi's guard Cai Jian stood behind Zhai Rang with a single knife in his hand, and Zhai Rang did not feel the danger coming at all.

Zhai Rang involuntarily pulled the bow away, the more he pulled it full, the danger was getting closer and closer to him, and finally the bow was full, Zhai Rang didn't know that this was a signal, a signal that caused him to die, Cai Jian, who saw the signal, slashed at Zhai Rang with a knife, and the knife was fast, clean and neat, and Zhai Rang was killed.

Immediately afterwards, Zhai Kuan, Wang Ruxin and Zhai Rang's nephew were all hacked to death with knives. Xu Shichang wanted to escape, but was cut in the neck by the guards, but fortunately, Wang Bodang stopped him in time; Another important person, Shan Xiongxin, knelt down and kowtowed to Li Mi to beg for mercy, and Li Mi released him. In order to prevent a mutiny, Li Mi ordered in time: "Zhai Rang is vicious and cruel, bullying his colleagues, regardless of whether he is up or down, and now he only punishes the family surnamed Zhai, and it has nothing to do with everyone." Only then did the army's heart settle down, and Li Mi ordered Xu Shiyun, Shan Xiongxin, and Wang Bodang to lead Zhai Rang's troops.

The person who wants to go home solves Zhai Rang, to be honest, Li Mi is still very guilty, after all, Zhai Rang has the grace of knowing him, and he worked hard again and again to push himself to his current position, and Zhai Rang is a well-deserved first hero. But who is to blame for this?

If I don't kill Zhai Rang, Zhai Rang may kill me one day. Hey, seeing the cruelty of the power struggle, Li Mi is sometimes tired of it, is it possible that what he is looking for is so bloody and violent?

Li Mi can't think too much, because he has no way out, Xu Shiyun has a way out, Shan Xiongxin has a way out, Wang Bodang has a way out, Li Mi has not. Either you become a king or you become a coward, there is no third option.

If you want to get as much as you want, you have to put in as much effort, as much suffering as you have to accept, and how much bitterness you have to bear, and this truth has not changed since ancient times.

After that, Li Mi focused on attacking Luoyang, and if he fought Luoyang, he would fight Wang Shichong, and if he couldn't defeat Wang Shichong, he wanted to enter Luoyang, which was the situation Li Mi faced at that time.
