Although the Sui army won the victory, severely damaged the Wagang army Wang Dangren and Li Mi's Li Shicai department, and captured more than 2,500 people and captured more than 1,600 people, but it did not achieve the established tactical goal of taking the opportunity to break through Hao Xiaode's camp, and the strength of the Zhai and Li coalition forces was not greatly weakened, because most of the enemies killed by the Sui army were Wang Dangren and Li Shicai's self-led soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was relatively weak, and no matter how much the Sui army killed, it would not have much effect. It was far from achieving the effect of making the Zhai and Li coalition forces break their muscles and bones.

Of course, the soldiers of the Sui army are not in vain, the biggest victory of the Sui army in the eastern capital of this battle is still a heavy blow to the cohesion of the Zhai and Li coalition forces, in order to ensure the safety of the Tiger Prison Pass, Shan Xiongxin and Zhai Hong to the outside Huang Youjun Wang Dangren did not save him when he saw death, and sat back and watched Wang Dangren being beaten by the Sui army, afraid that the Sui army would take the opportunity to kill into the camp, Hao Xiaode adopted the construction of the love general Liu Heimin, and pulled the bow and arrows to the friendly army Li Shicai of Jijun, and as a result, the Tiger Prison Pass and the camp were saved, but Wang Dangren and Li Shicai suffered heavy losses and almost fell to the ground, and because of this, Even if he failed to take Hao Xiaode's camp as he wished, Chen Fuliang still laughed and collected his troops in triumph, and then immediately sent more scouts to carefully probe the enemy's movements, waiting to see the jokes and see if there were any better fighters.

Wagang Jun and Li Mijun unexpectedly had an infighting, after Wang Dangren fled back to the Tiger Prison Pass, the first thing was to find Shan Xiongxin and scold, scolding Shan Xiongxin for being ruthless and unrighteous and unwilling to send aid zhì He suffered heavy losses, and he was excited to reward Shan Xiongxin with a slap, Shan Xiongxin repeatedly explained that it was useless, he was beaten and angry, and he fought with Wang Dangren in a scuffle, fortunately Bing Yuanzhen and others held it to death, which did not let the situation expand, but Wang Dangren was still angry and greeted Shan Xiongxin's eighteenth generation ancestor, Bing Yuan was really afraid of causing a catastrophe and hurriedly pulled Shan Xiongxin away, comforted Wang Dangren with kind words, and immediately sent someone to contact Zhai Rang Li Mi, report the matter to them, and ask them to decide how to deal with it.

The Tiger Prison Pass is better here, Hao Xiaode's side of the situation is stricter, after gathering the remnants of the defeated generals, Li Shicai immediately went back to the camp to settle accounts with Hao Xiaode, Hao Xiaode knew that Li Shicai was definitely going to make trouble, afraid that Li Shicai's return to the camp would cause infighting, so he didn't dare to open the door to let Li Shicai return to the camp, but just sent a messenger to explain the reason to Li Shicai, and made amends, but Li Shicai, who was angry, not only did not listen, but also directly cut Hao Xiaode's messenger with a knife, and then ordered to attack Hao Xiaode's camp - everyone is a bandit, No one is better than a temper.

The Tiger Prison Pass sent troops to stop Li Shicai in time, Bing Yuan was really good at talking, and knelt on the ground and begged Li Shicai not to be impulsive, not to give the shameless enemy Chen Fuliang the opportunity to take advantage of the fire to rob, and finally let Li Shicai temporarily calm down, retreat to the west gate of the Tiger Prison Pass and stay temporarily, waiting for Zhai Rang and Li Mi to deal with it - the key is that Li Shicai's strength is far inferior to Hao Xiaode, otherwise even if Bing Yuan really breaks his head, Li Shicai, who has suffered heavy losses in his lineage, will have to skin Hao Xiaode!

The matter was a big trouble, and after the process was reported to Zhai Rang and Li Mi by Pegasus, Li Mi was suddenly shocked, knowing that if these things were not handled well, they would definitely cause a big disaster, and they would definitely give their rival Chen Fuliang a great opportunity to fan the flames. Fortunately, the Banzhu battlefield was not too far from the Tiger Prison Pass, and in the afternoon, Zhai Rang and Li Mi returned to the Tiger Prison Pass, and then immediately summoned Shan Xiongxin, Wang Dangren, Hao Xiaode, and Li Shicai to the Tiger Prison Pass to meet and solve the aftermath in person.

After several enemies met, they still started with a scolding fight, but fortunately, the two bosses Zhai Rang and Li Mi had already arrived, and hurriedly used both soft and hard measures, while ordering the guards to pull a few of their subordinates away, while comforting and intimidating and warning, it took a lot of effort to make a few enemies calm down, sit down and accept the boss's mediation, and then when they reported what happened, several enemies couldn't help but quarrel again, Li Mi and Zhai Rang had no choice but to let them report separately, after fully understanding the situation, Li Mi and Zhai Rang discussed in a low voice again, and then invited them back to the hall and sat down again to talk.

"General Wang Dangren, General Li Shicai, I know you have anger in your hearts." Li Mi, who was very eloquent, opened his mouth and said very sincerely: "This is human nature, but if it is me or Dongjun Gong who encounters such a thing, it may be more angry and impulsive than you, so what you did this morning, I and Dongjun Gong have already discussed it, and we will not pursue it, as if it never happened." ”

"That's right, we don't pursue it." Zhai let parrot his words, and said to Shan Xiongxin: "Brother Shan, although Brother Wang beat you, he was angry at the time, and there is something to say, give me a face, don't worry about him." ”

Zhai let go of his mouth, and somewhat unreasonable, Shan Xiongxin nodded and agreed, Wang Dangren's anger subsided a little, and Li Mi said again: "Brother Wang, Brother Li, you also have to understand the difficulties of Brother Shan and Brother Hao, last night was a night battle, the enemy situation is unknown, the officials and soldiers are cunning, Chen Yingliang thieves are also notoriously treacherous and vicious, if one of them opens the gate to help, and the other opens the door of the camp to let you go back to the camp, if you don't want to top Chen Gouguan, you will take the opportunity to kill in the tiger prison or camp, Not only will you still not be rescued, but the loss may be even greater, and they will not be able to do so, and I hope you will understand and forgive. ”

"I don't blame him for not saving me, but why did he Hao Xiaode shoot arrows at my brother?" Li Shicai said unconvinced: "Some of my brothers have already climbed the fence to return to the camp, but they were all hacked to death and stabbed to death by his people, so can they use such a ruthless hand on friendly soldiers?" ”

"Talented and virtuous brother, the most terrible thing on the battlefield is not the enemy, but the defeated soldiers of your own family." Li Mi smiled bitterly and said: "If General Hao doesn't make such a quick decision, your defeated soldiers will see the opportunity to return to the camp, and they will all rush forward, and they can overturn the camp fence by pushing, and then the officers and soldiers will follow into the camp, and you and Brother Hao will still suffer heavy losses, maybe even worse." ”

After that, Li Mi hurriedly added: "Brother Shicai, you don't need to worry, I know that you have suffered heavy losses, so let's do it, I will replenish you with five hundred troops, five hundred middle-aged soldiers equipped with weapons and shields, and twenty war horses for you, which should be enough to make up for the losses caused to you by Brother Hao, right?" A chopstick is easy to break, a chopstick is constantly wrenched, a strong enemy is current, if we can't work together, it is equivalent to sending the neck up for Chen Gouguan to cut off, don't you understand this truth? ”

Li Shicai was silent, somewhat satisfied with Li Mi's compensation for him, and Zhai Rang also said: "Brother Dangren, my troops are not as strong as Wei Gong, but I will also replenish you with five hundred fully equipped soldiers, and reward you with thirty taels of gold, you are not too little, and don't shirk, this is what you deserve." ”

got compensation, and saw Zhai Rang and Li Mi talking kindly, Li Shicai and Wang Dangren didn't say anything more, and honestly thanked Zhai Rang and Li Mi, seeing that these two thorns were no longer being pursued, Li Mi was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly smiled at Shan Xiongxin and Hao Xiaode and said: "General Shan, General Hao, Brother Wang and Brother Li are no longer being pursued, so why don't you say anything?" ”

"Brother Dangren, it's not good for me, for the safety of the Tiger Prison, I didn't send troops to save you, let you suffer heavy losses, and apologize to you." Shan Xiongxin arched his hand to Wang Dangren and said: "If you hit me in anger today, I won't worry about it, I will only act as if this incident has not happened, and we will continue to be good brothers in the future." ”

"Brother Shicai, you can forgive more." Hao Xiaode also arched his hand and said: "I was confused for a while, I listened to Liu Heimin's Jianyi, and offended you by throwing knives and arrows at your people, you should be angry, and I don't care about killing my messenger." ”

"Listened to Liu Heimin's Jianyì? This kid is very bold. Li Mi's heart moved, and he admired Liu Heimin, who had looked away, but now it was not the time to talk about this topic, Li Mi could only put this matter aside for the time being, but turned to Li Shicai and Wang Dangren again, and asked with a smile: "General Li, General Wang, Brother Shan and Brother Wang have already made amends, so why don't you say something?" ”

Seeing that Shan Xiongxin and Hao Xiaode's attitude of apologizing for their sins was quite sincere, Wang Dangren and Li Shicai didn't have much, but they also made amends to Shan Xiongxin and Hao Xiaode, admitting that they were too responsible, and they also offended Shan Xiongxin and Hao Xiaode, and apologized to each other with Shan Xiongxin and Hao Xiaode, resolving this grievance. Li Mi and Zhai Rang were overjoyed when they saw the success of the mediation, and hurriedly ordered a banquet to celebrate the reunion of several subordinates, and also summoned several senior civil and military generals of the Wagang Army to accompany them, enlivening the atmosphere and further increasing friendship.

During the banquet arrangement, several Wagang civil and military officers who were invited came to the lobby, only Bing Yuanzhen came to the hall after the banquet, and his expression was solemn as if he had something on his mind, and when he was hypocritical and polite with everyone, he didn't say anything, and his face was full of desire to speak, Li Mi saw that the situation was wrong, so he asked Bing Yuanzhen: "Mr. Bing, what's wrong?" ”

Bing Yuanzhen hesitated for a moment, and glanced at Hao Xiaode, and then said: "Duke Wei, Duke Dongjun, it's about last night, last night, the official army sneaked up on our beacon tower, pretending to be General Hao Xiaode to send a false signal, and deceived Brother Wang into being captured. ”

"Yes, I'm about to report it." Hao Xiaode was reminded by Bing Yuanzhen, and hurriedly said to Li Mi: "Duke Wei, the beacon signal last night was not sent by me, it was sent by the officials and soldiers pretending to be me, and the officials and soldiers can know our contact signal, which means that there must be a traitor among us, and this matter must be strictly investigated." ”

"I was already suspicious just now." Li Mi said quietly: "Although it is also possible that the official army has investigated and learned about this matter, there is a great possibility that there is a traitor, and we must carefully investigate it to prevent it." ”

After that, Li Mi turned to Zhai Rang again and said, "Dongjun Gong, you and I are involved in this matter, how about we investigate separately?" I am in charge of investigating the situation in General Hao's camp, and you are in charge of the internal investigation of the Tiger Prison Pass, what do you think? ”

"Okay, let's split up." Zhai Rang agreed, and said viciously: "If there is really such a traitor, you must find him out, divide his body with a knife, chop him up and feed it to the dog!" ”

Zhai Hong, Zhai Mohou and others echoed loudly, saying that they must not spare this damn spy, but Bing Yuanzhen was full of hesitation, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said in a shocking voice: "Duke Wei, Duke Dongjun, there may be no need to investigate, this traitor has been discovered." ”

"Who? How to find out? Li Mi, Zhai Rang and the others were all taken aback, and Zhai Rang jumped up in surprise.

"It was reported by two of our soldiers who had escaped from the battlefield." Bing Yuanzhen hesitated and said: "During the battle last night, they were captured by the officers and soldiers, and when they heard the generals of the officers and soldiers answering each other, they said the names of the traitors in our army, and then the officers and soldiers wanted to kill them, so they quickly fled for their lives, got into the mountains and forests in the south, and escaped by luck to report the news. ”

"Who is this mole?" Zhai Rang Daxi asked.

"Liu Heimin!" Bing Yuanzhen gritted his teeth and replied: "The little marshal under General Hao Xiaode, Liu Heimin!" It's Liu Heimin, who claimed to have deceived Chen Yingliang last time, and was once rumored to have met you here! ”

"Liu Heimin?!" Everyone present except Li Mi screamed in shock, and Hao Xiaode jumped up directly and shouted, "How is it possible? Liu Heimin has always been loyal, how could he betray us? ”

"General Hao, does Liu Heimin know the secret signal of your contact with Tiger Prison Pass?" Li Mi asked quietly, and was nervously calculating in his heart, analyzing whether this was a discordant plan to lose his conscience and Chen Fuliang, or did Liu Heimin really become a traitor in the official army?

Hearing Li Mi's question, everyone's eyes naturally focused on Hao Xiaode's face, and Hao Xiaode first opened his mouth, and then nodded honestly, admitting that Liu Heimin knew this secret signal. As a result, Zhai Rang immediately yelled like crazy, "Catch it!" Arrest this Liu Heimin immediately! Divide the corpses with knives and avenge the death of our brethren! ”

"King Hao, no wonder Liu Heimin persuaded you to shoot at me, it turns out that he is a traitor in the official army!" Li Shicai also suddenly shouted.

"Wait!" Li Mi hurriedly shouted to stop it, and said in a deep voice: "Calm down, Chen Yingliang's thief is too treacherous, we have to prevent him from repeating his old tricks and coming to divide us again!" Mr. Bing, the two soldiers who escaped ....... ”

"I've brought it, and I'm waiting outside the door." Bing Yuanzhen rushed to answer, and immediately ordered the two soldiers of the Wagang Army who had been captured to be brought into the hall for questioning.

Soon, the two soldiers were led to the court, Li Mi first carefully asked their identities and hometowns, the army they belonged to, and learned that they were all Wang Dangren's subordinates, and they were all Huang people outside Wang Dangren's starting place, and then asked about what happened, and the two soldiers reported truthfully, saying that after Wang Dangren's team was scattered by the Sui army ambush last night, they were left alone, and were captured by a group of Sui soldiers in the southwest of Hujiao Pass, and there were several Wagang army prisoners who were captured, and later a Sui army general came to the scene, laughed and said that the Wagang thieves had really been tricked, and the beacon signal provided by Liu Heimin was indeed true, and he sincerely responded to the officers and soldiers, and celebrated the victory of the ambush with the soldiers of the Sui army.

Then after the Sui army general left, the Sui army that captured them received another report, saying that his brother had unfortunately died on the battlefield, the Sui army was crying loudly, and yelling for the soldiers to kill all the captured prisoners, to avenge his brother, they heard this order and did not dare to continue to wait for death, so they fled for their lives together, several companions were chased and killed by the official army, but they were lucky enough to escape into the woods, not caught up by the official soldiers, and then finally survived until the official army retreated, and they fled back to the Tiger Prison Pass to report the news.

The truth was revealed, Zhai Rang and Zhai Hong and others roared again and again, Hao Xiaode remembered that Chen Fuliang tried to recruit Hao Xiaode before, and he was somewhat shaken, Li Mi was suspicious, some did not believe that there would be such a coincidence, but he did not dare to take it lightly, after a little calculation, Li Mi ordered: "Brother Hao, send a few people to invite Liu Heimin, just say that I appreciate his quick decision last night, and I want to reward him." Remember, we must not let Liu Heimin know that we are suspicious of him. ”

Hao Xiaode first agreed, but did not implement it immediately, and said: "Duke Wei, Liu Heimin also has a younger brother named Liu Shishan, who is also in my army, helping Liu Heimin to lead the troops, if Liu Heimin really secretly communicates with the official army, Liu Shishan must also know, do you want to call him together?" ”

Considering that if Liu Heimin is really a traitor, Liu Shishan is also an accomplice, if he summons Liu Heimin and Liu Shishan brothers at the same time, the brothers may be suspicious, Li Mi shook his head decisively, and said: "You can't startle the snake, just send Liu Heimin to see him, and send someone to spy on Liu Shishan, if he has any abnormal movements, he will be killed immediately!" ”

Hao Xiaode nodded, and then immediately sent someone to act according to the plan, leaving Li Mi to continue to think during the banquet, constantly pondering in his heart, "Is it a discord or a coincidence?" If it is a discord, why did Chen Yingliang's thief attack such a handsome Liu Heimin? Chen Yingliang's thief spent so much effort to arrange the arrangement, just to lure me to kill Liu Heimin unjustly, is it worth it? Could it be that this incident is a complete coincidence? Is Liu Heimin really a traitor? ”

Li Mi has not read Zizhi Tongjian, of course I don't know why Chen Fuliang attaches so much importance to Liu Heimin, who is now just a small thief general, in fact, Chen Fuliang's attention to Liu Heimin Cheng Dù is still far above Li Mi's imagination, and through guò deduction and analysis in advance, Chen Fuliang is also worried that Liu Heimin was booby-trapped by Li Mi, the fox of Wagang, or indiscriminately slashed and killed by incompetent people such as Zhai Rang and Hao Xiaode, and missed such a rare talent in vain. So in fact, as early as when Zhai Rang and Li Mi had not returned to the Tiger Prison Pass, Chen Fuliang had a new move......

Another captive of Hao Xiaode's army was released back to the camp, this prisoner was captured by the Sui army a few days ago when Hao Xiaode's army was deceived out of the camp and suffered a fiasco, or a direct soldier under Liu Heimin's command, the Sui army officials spent a lot of effort to identify the traitorous prisoner, screened him from the captive group, and repeatedly confirmed that he belonged to Liu Heimin's command, Chen Fuliang personally received the prisoner, gave him wine and meat, kind words, comfort, rewards and clothes, and then released him this morning and let him return to the camp of Hao Xiaode's army, Let him bring a message to Liu Heimin:

"Zhai Rang and Li Mi want to kill you, be careful."

It's just this message, Chen Fuliang is only afraid that this captive will not be able to send the message to Liu Heimin, but he is not afraid that this captive will sell himself, and it will be self-defeating but will help Liu Heimin wash away his grievances - in fact, Chen Fuliang also secretly wrote a sentence in the clothes that were rewarded to this prisoner, "Dedicate this pawn to Li Mi, the suspicion will be eliminated, and it will be reused." ”

Now it's time to know how immoral Chen Muliang is, how unconscionable he is, right? If Liu Heimin refuses to rebel, or if this captive betrays and informes, and Li Mi, the fox of Wagang, discovers the secret words hidden in this captive, then wouldn't Liu Heimin jump into the Yellow River even more and can't wash it away? Liu Heimin's loyal act of taking the initiative to confess has not become a desire to cover up? , Of course, I don't know why Chen Fuliang attaches so much importance to Liu Heimin, who is now just a small thief general, in fact, Chen Fuliang's attention to Liu Heimin is still far above Li Mi's imagination, and through guò deduction and analysis in advance, Chen Fuliang is also worried that Liu Heimin will be booby-trapped by Li Mi, the fox of Wagang, or indiscriminately slashed and killed by incompetent people such as Zhai Rang and Hao Xiaode, and miss such a rare talent in vain.
