Chapter 127: Li Mi Stays in Wagang
The night in Daxing City was so quiet, but in the south of Xingluocang City, a strong smell of blood permeated.
There were corpses of officers and soldiers in the Eastern Capital everywhere, and wild dogs appeared from time to time, letting out bursts of low roars.
Hu Benlang general Liu Changgong led 25,000 soldiers and horses to attack Li Mi, but the officers and soldiers were crushed at the first touch, and Li Mi pursued the situation, and most of the officers and soldiers were killed and wounded.
According to the original plan, Liu Changgong and others led their troops in front, and asked Pei Renjijun, the ambassador of Henan, to lead his troops to enter Xingluolun from Bishui to cover and kill the rear of Li Mi's army, and made an appointment to meet in the south of Xingluocang City on the 11th.
As a result, the officers and troops of the Eastern Capital led by Liu Changgong arrived first, and before the soldiers had breakfast, Liu Changgong drove away
Drove them across Luoshui and lined up in the west of the Shizi River, which was more than ten miles long from north to south. Li Mi and Zhai Rang selected brave and strong men to divide them into ten teams, and ordered four of them to wait for Pei Renji in ambush under the Hengling, and the remaining six teams lined up east of the Shizi River.
When Liu Changgong and the others saw that Li Mi's army was small, they despised them very much. Zhai Rang first led his troops to engage the Sui army, the battle was unfavorable, Li Mi immediately led his troops to cross the Sui army, the Sui soldiers were hungry and tired, so they were defeated.
Liu Changgong and others took off their clothes and absconded to escape to the eastern capital, and the Sui soldiers were killed and wounded five or six out of ten.
The Wagang army won more with less, which greatly inspired people's hearts, especially in the case of Zhai Rang's defeat, Li Mi turned the tide and defeated Liu Changgong, not only saving Xingluocang, but also obtaining a large amount of military supplies brought by the Luoyang army.
The entire Xingluocang was full of laughter, bursting into laughter from time to time, and many bandits loudly showed off their achievements in killing the enemy.
"To General Lee!" Cheng Biting Jin's face was fierce, raising his wine glass and shouting.
"To General Lee!" The soldiers chimed in.
Li Mi raised his glass in return, enjoying the admiring gaze of the soldiers.
"Congratulations, my lord, something great has been accomplished!" Mr. Yin whispered behind Li Mi.
"Oh!" Li Mi's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
Looking sideways, I saw Zhai Rang's gloomy face.
Zhai Rang swallowed a mouthful of bitter wine with difficulty, and he was defeated in one battle, while Li Mi won consecutive battles and gained momentum.
If he doesn't make a decision at the right time, it is estimated that Wagang will no longer have a foothold for him.
Thinking of this, Zhai Rang got up and knocked on the wine glass in his hand.
"Ding, ding, ding!"
The bandits quieted down, although Zhai Rang was not as talented as Li Mi in military affairs, but after all, he was the owner of the village in Wagang, and his prestige was very high in peacetime.
"Our Wagang can have today thanks to the hard work of all the soldiers, and today we defeated the invading soldiers of the eastern capital Luoyang, that is the day of the rise of our Wagang."
Zhai Rang looked around, only to see that all the bandits involuntarily looked at Li Mi, and couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, regretting in his heart, he shouldn't have led the wolf into the room, and now Li Mi is already a big tail.
"For the future of Wagang, the owner of this village thinks that he is not talented enough, and he is willing to abdicate and make way for Xian, and jointly promote Li Mi as the main one, and honor the title of Wei Gong!"
"No!"
"No, the owner of the village!"
Many old people in Wagang were shocked and couldn't help but raise their voices against it.
Zhai Rang has been running Wagang for many years, and has developed Wagang from a small thief's den to the largest anti-Sui force in the entire Kanto, and it is impossible to say that he has no ability.
There are loyal old people around Zhai Rang, these old people have been following Zhai Rang to fight the world, and suddenly heard that Zhai Rang abdicated and elected Li Mi as the master, how could they be willing.
"Impossible, how long has he Li Mi only been in Wagang, how can He De let the owner of the village let Xian." Someone blushed and retorted loudly.
Some people even began to abuse Li Mi, and the whole venue was in an uproar.
However, Li Mi was smiling and not angry at all, because the entire situation had been controlled by him, and as far as the eye could see, less than half of the entire Wagang supported Zhai Rang.
Zhai Rang regretted in his heart, and the successive development of Wagang made him dizzy, and accepted Li Mi's suggestion, wantonly annexed various cottages, and accepted the anti-Sui forces from all walks of life.
In addition, every time he fights, Zhai Rang takes the lead, and there are more defeats and fewer victories, and there are few old people left who were loyal to Wagang, and now they are less than 20%.
These old people in Wagang shouted for a while, only to find that the people around them were silent, and the brothers who usually drank and ate meat with themselves, and the brothers who swore allegiance to the owner of the village, all fell to Li Mi unconsciously.
"Zheng Detao, Yang Defang, you two traitors, when you were cornered, who took you in, and now you have betrayed the owner of the village, your conscience asks yourself, who are you worthy of?"
Zheng Detao and Yang Defang snorted, when they defected to Wagang, it was Zhai Rang who took them in, but when they rebelled, they were fighting for their lives, and no one wanted to be exterminated by the official army that day and end up in a different place.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wagang will only flourish in the hands of Li Mi. Why did they let this tree hang in Zhai?
"That's it!" Li Mi saw that the farce was almost over, and yelled.
"The owner of the village is serious, Li Mi is just an exile, it is already a great mercy to be taken in by the owner of the village, how can he let the owner of the village abdicate!" Li Mi's words were sincere, and his words revealed sincerity.
But he didn't say that he didn't want the position of the owner of the village, and he had already exposed all his thoughts.
"Pushan Gong is really a great talent in the world, a man of destiny, and he will definitely be able to lead his brothers to overthrow Yang Guang and achieve victory." Zhai Rang's heart was bitter, and he had to say.
"I can't accept it!" Li Mi excused himself.
Zhai Rang is asking for it.
Li Mi resigned.
Zhai asked for the third time.
Li Mi seemed to have no choice but to accept it.
"Thanks to the love of all the brothers, Mi is cheeky to take the throne today, and in the future, it is scheduled that all brothers will share weal and woe and overthrow Yang Guang's old thief."
"Meet my lord." Mr. Yin was the first to salute and shouted.
"Meet the Lord!" The bandits bowed down one after another.
There were only a few old men in Xingluocang who stood there at a loss.
"Meet Duke Wei!" Zhai Rang said bitterly.
"Meet Duke Wei!" The old man of Wagang saw that Zhai Rang had succumbed and had to give in.
The entire Wagang has been clearly divided into two forces, laying the groundwork for future conflicts.
"Zhai Gong is exempt, in the future, you and I will jointly preside over Wagang, and we will definitely be able to make Wagang prosperous." Li Mi helped Zhai up and gave way.
"Huh! ......" Zhai Rang laughed dryly.
On February 19, Li Mi ascended the throne, entered Wagang, and announced to the world, calling the first year of Yongping, and amnesty to the world.
The official letter issued by Li Mi to His Majesty was signed as the Marshal's Mansion. Wantonly divide the bandits.
Li Mi appointed Zhai Rang as Shangzhuguo, Situ, and Dongjun Gong, and appointed Shan Xiongxin as the general of the left Wuhou and Xu Shi as the general of the right Wuhou.
Fang Yanzao was appointed as the marshal Zuo Changshi, Dongjun Bing Yuanzhen was the right Changshi, Yang Defang was the left Sima, Zheng Detao was the right Sima, and Zu Junyan was the secretary.
Li Mi's huge fame made Wagang qualitatively sublimated at this moment, and the bandits in the south of Zhao and Wei and north of Jiang and Huai all responded.
Meng Rang, Hao Xiaode, Wang Deren and Fang Xianbo from Jiyin, Wang Junkuo from Shanggu, Li Shicai from Changping, Wei Liuer and Li Deqian from Huaiyang, Zhang Qian from Qian County, Li Wenxiang from Wei County, Heishe and Baishe from Qian County, Zhang Qingte from Jibei, Zhou Bitao from Shangluo, and Hu Donkey Thief all belonged to Li Mi.
The people who came to surrender were like flowing water, and Li Mi's troops numbered hundreds of thousands. It greatly compensates for the loss of the displaced people.
Then Li Mi built Luokou City, and sent Fang Yanzao to lead his troops to the east to capture the city, and most of the counties in Henan were captured by Li Mi.
