Chapter 598: The Entrusted

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, unless there is a male and a female. (Look!) WWW)

The internal fire is often more fierce and cruel than the external competition.

Li Mi and Zhai Rang, one is from the Guan Long family, and the other is from a reckless family. After Li Mi was a member of the Eight Pillars Country, he was already like Li Yuan when he was a teenager, and he inherited the position of the prince of Pushan County. Although after a short period of experience as a palace guard, Li Mi has never been an official again. But after Li Mi is a top wealthy family in the Great Sui, he doesn't need to be an official step by step like an ordinary person to climb up. He was born with a golden key.

And Zhai Rang is an authentic reckless background, although he has also been a small official, but it is just a position of a Xu official that people like Li Mi will not even look at. Fundamentally, the two are not people on the same road.

The Wagang Army, which is now shaking, was originally established by Zhai Rang. Even many of the influential civil and military forces in the Wagang Army today are all Zhai Rang's brothers. When Li Mi first joined the gang, he was only ranked fifteenth. Although after that, he gave advice and helped the Wagang army achieve a series of victories. In the end, Zhai Rang was also forced by his prestige to give him the position of the owner of the village, but in fact, he still couldn't get rid of an embarrassing identity, that is, the guest of Wagang, not the host.

In the Wagang Army, although Zhai Rang ostensibly withdrew from the position of the owner of the village. And today's Wagang Army also opened the dynasty and founded the country as Wei, and there is no such position as the owner and boss of the village in the middle of the court. But in private, those old brothers in Wagangzhai, such as Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji and others, still call Zhai Rang their eldest brother. Even the soldiers below are called Zhai Rang the owner of the village from time to time.

On the other hand, since Li Mi took power, he has established his own henchmen, Pushan Gongying, early on. He and Zhai Rang unified the army, and at the beginning, his Pushan public camp was very small and there were not many people. Most of the soldiers and horses in the army are still led by Zhai Rang and others. But after calling around, Li Mi's prestige became higher and higher, and his Pushan public camp became an elite camp, with more and more people. Even from the Pushan public camp, it gradually developed into tens of thousands of internal troops.

But Zhai Rang is still just unambitious, with a group of old brothers, grabbing money, food, and women. The military discipline has dispersed, and after a long time, the soldiers and horses are still so many, and the gap between Li Mi's power is getting bigger and bigger, and the gap between the old and new bosses is getting deeper and deeper.

The difference in the backgrounds of the two and the different pursuit of ideas have also made the two go further and further apart. Although Li Mi once fell into the grass and joined Wagang, in his heart, he still regarded himself as a nobleman. The people he interacted with, surrounded by, and were all literati, or officials who came over from the imperial court, and children of the family, such as Fang Xuanzao, Chai Xiaohe, Yuan Baobao, etc. Moreover, Li Mi's goal is to replace Sui and unify the world.

And Zhai Rang was just a small official, and later he was a copycat strongman for many years, and he just wanted to eat wine and meat in a big way, and he was happy to pay for it. As for what to fight the world and what to be the emperor, he really never thought about it.

Originally, Li Mi and Zhai Rang, one was busy fighting the world, and the other was busy robbing and happy, but they did not interfere with each other and could maintain their original feelings.

However, as Shen Luoyan's merciless words point out, greed and suspicion are the real culprits that lead to infighting.

Zhai Rang is self-aware and self-aware, he has no ability, and when he meets Li Mi, who is more capable, he gives up the position of the boss to him, and is bent on being his own Shangzhu country, Situ, Dongjun Gong, so uncomfortable.

However, Zhai Rang has no ambition, but the people around him do. Seeing that the Wagang army is getting bigger and bigger, and there is gradually the possibility of seizing the eastern capital and even the world, these people are tempted. The elder brother Wang Ruxin persuaded Zhai Rang many times to let him regain his rights. However, Zhai Rang didn't have the heart to do so and refused. As a result, he and Zhai Rang's brother Zhai Hong have always been unwilling. …,

So just before, Wang Ruxin asked Feng Zhai to make Otsuka's proposal.

Although Zhai Rang once again refused in the palace, Li Mi was already uneasy. Originally, Li Mi's power was unstable, so he could tolerate Zhai Rang's ignorance and greed but was timid. But now that he has stabilized his power, Zhai Rang, who was with him at the beginning, is now just a name left.

Once suspicion is born, it never stops.

Little things began to change their taste. Originally, they were all ordinary and trivial things, but now in Li Mi's view, they have a lot of meaning.

Just when he had seen Shen Luoyan and was still thinking about how to kill Zhai Rang without affecting himself, he heard a report from his henchman. The confidant reported to him that Zhai Rang's eldest brother Zhai Hong actually told Zhai Rang at a public banquet that the emperor had to be his own and could not be given to others. Even if you don't want to be it, then let me, the big brother, be it.

Of course, Zhai Rang laughed, and didn't care, how could he not know what virtue his straw bag brother had.

However, whether the speaker has it intentionally or not, Li Mi, the listener, is definitely intentional.

After hearing the news, Li Mi couldn't sit still. He always feels like a man on his back now, his food is not fragrant, his wine is not mellow, and his sleep is restless.

At that moment, Li Mi personally rushed to see Shen Luoyan and asked for a way to kill Zhai Rang without damaging his reputation.

Shen Luoyan was wearing a gorgeous long skirt and was admiring the plum blossoms in the courtyard, and she was slightly disappointed when she heard Li Mi's request. In her opinion, Zhai Rang is just an incompetent fruit after all. Whether such a person is killed or not, it will never be possible to affect Li Mi.

It's just that Li Mi is too anxious in his heart, and now some people in the Wagang army are secretly using Zhai Rang's name to do something unfavorable to Li Mi. That's why she said that she could kill. But Li Mi's current performance, because of a mere Zhai Rang, has greatly reduced her resourcefulness, and even affected her normal thinking, which she did not expect.

When she chose Li Mi, firstly, because she ran away from home in a bad mood, and secondly, she was eager to prove that although she was a daughter, she would not be worse than a man. Again, it was a coincidence that I met Li Mi, and Li Mi's reputation is still very big.

By chance, she decided to help Li Mi compete for the world and prove herself to the Shen family. Everything Li Mi has done now also proves her vision at the beginning. But now, she felt that Li Mi no longer respected her so much, and even began to have something that surprised her.

Li Mi's changes caught her a little off guard, and she didn't know how to deal with it. It was false to say that she didn't feel it at all, but it really made her promise Li Mi, but she felt that she hadn't reached that point at all. Especially now that Li Mi no longer listens to her opinions on many major matters, she has gradually become a little disappointed after becoming conceited. Jiangnan's father also kept writing to her to come home, and she knew her father's ambitions.

The Shen family has produced four queens, and now his father wants to be the emperor one day. But for some reason, she always didn't like her father very much. Moreover, she was never optimistic that her father could become the emperor, not to mention Chen Shen, who is now controlled by her father, and he also has a crown prince who commands hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and horses and occupies dozens of counties. Although Chen Kefu never seemed to care about the canonization of the imperial court, and also supported a puppet son of the Yang family of the Sui Dynasty in Jijun, no matter when, Chen Kefu would be the biggest enemy of the Southern Dynasty.

At the beginning, Jiangnan changed overnight, and won a quarter of the world of the Sui Dynasty in a short period of time. But now, so long has passed, Jiangnan and the central government only know intrigues, and until now, not only has the power not increased by half a point. On the contrary, they confronted each other for a long time in the Jiangdu City in Huaibei, and they were not allowed to go down. In the west, the imperial court defeated Yang Yin's Jianghan army one after another, and the entire Jianghan region had been lost. If this continues, it won't be long before the Jiang Han army will move south along the Yangtze River. …,

What her father worked hard to plan, in her opinion, is just a water moon in the mirror. And Li Mi, who tried his best to assist, seems to have gradually become a predicament now.

Thinking of the strategy set at the beginning, first map Luoyang in the Central Plains, then map Guanzhong, and then seize Hedong and Hebei, and then the army will go south, and the first battle can determine the south of the Yangtze River, and the world will be unified. Now it seems that it is so funny. Li Mi has been fighting for so long, and he can't beat a small Luoyang, and he can't even solve a small internal problem, so what prospects does the Wagang Army have.

thought of the things mentioned in his father's letter again, and asked him to marry Chen Pojun. What kind of man is that?

Having collected so much information about him, it was as if he was a man like a mystery. Such a man may meet the conditions of a hero in his heart, but it is a pity that he has no feelings for his proposal to marry him.

Also, how can a man who can even be unmoved by more than 50 counties in the south of the Yangtze River care about a woman like himself who has never met?

"Miss Shen, Miss Shen"

A few calls brought Shen Luoyan back to her senses, and looking at Li Mi's expectant look, she couldn't help but chuckle helplessly in her heart.

"Duke Wei seems to be a fan of the authorities, and it is actually very simple to kill Zhai Rang without damaging Duke Wei's reputation. Didn't Wang Ruxin propose to add Zhai Rang as Otsuka Zai? Wei Gong agreed. ā€

Li Mi said in surprise, "How can this work?" Adding the seal of Zhai to let this official go, wouldn't that just fulfill their wishes? ā€

"Why should Duke Wei be afraid of a dead man fighting for power?" Shen Luoyan chuckled a few times, and his tone was very calm, "Duke Wei sealed him, and after the seal, Duke Wei can also ask him to lead the army to recapture Ji County, and then Duke Wei can give him more soldiers." The one who seized Ji County is the Liaodong Army, the strongest army in the world, and Zhai let him go to seize Ji County, but he is afraid that ten of him will go, and he will not want to come back. When he dies in battle, Duke Wei will reward him and give him a beautiful funeral, wouldn't it be a hundred, and he can still take the opportunity to collect the hearts of his subordinates? ā€

Li Mi thought for a while, and immediately clapped his hands and laughed, "Wonderful, indeed wonderful!" ā€
