Hearing Zhai Rang say that he wanted to go back to Wagangzhai, Li Mi was anxious.

"Gong Zhai, you can't go back."

Zhai Rangteng stood up and raised his voice: "If you don't go back, let's stay here and drink the northwest wind?" ”

"Gong Zhai is not angry, you listen to me first."

Li Mi comforted Zhai Rang and pulled him to sit down again: "Gong Zhai, I came this time to tell you about my plan. ”

Zhai Rang felt very aggrieved these days, after the defeat of the army, the food and grass were in a hurry, so many people couldn't eat enough and couldn't sleep well, and they were about to starve to death in another country, and the pressure in his heart was very great.

He himself couldn't think of any good plans, but now that Li Mi said that he had a plan, of course he wanted to hear about it, so he got off the donkey down the slope and sat down.

"Gong Zhai, since we have already come out, we must not go back empty-handed."

It's of course best to be able to go home with a full load.

"Xingyang is now guarded by Zhang Xutuo, we have just suffered a defeat in Xingyang, and the troops are insufficient, so it is not suitable to attack Xingyang.

"But we are very close to the Tiger Prison Pass now, so we can take the Tiger Prison Pass first and enter Luokou.

"After attacking Luokou, capture the eastern capital, kill Sui Sheji, and command the Quartet."

Li Mi said passionately, but Zhai Rang let out a mockery: "Are you still the eastern capital of the past, and you can capture it if you say that you can capture it?"

"Now that Yang Guang has returned from Jiangdu, the strength of the Eastern Capital is not less than one million, and we can capture it with just a few thousand soldiers and horses?

"Aren't you stupid by Li Yuan?"

At the mention of Li Yuan, Li Mi's face turned black suddenly, and the battle of Dahai Temple was his shame.

The hands on his side clenched and loosened, Li Mi gritted his teeth, suppressed the anger in his heart, and explained to Zhai Rang: "Zhai Gong, don't worry, listen to me first."

"Although we are now short of troops, the name of Wagangzhai has not fallen, and there are still heroes and heroes who come here from all over the country.

"As long as we occupy Luokoucang, the largest granary in the country, when the Wagang Army calls on the heroes of the world to use the grain, the leaders of the uprising will definitely respond to Zhai Gong.

"Then Zhai Gong can establish himself as the emperor, enter Luoyang, and pacify the Central Plains."

This is said with a bold and dry voice, and the future is bright, but...

Zhai Rang was about to move: "Even with us people, we can't take Luokou." ”

"Zhai Gong, don't worry, I have already thought of countermeasures, and I can take the Tiger Prison Pass without a single soldier. With the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Prison Pass, if you attack Luokou again, you will be sure to win. ”

Zhai Ranghu looked at him suspiciously, thinking that there was no other way at the moment, so let's believe him one last time.

"Okay, if you can really take the Tiger Prison Pass without a single soldier, I will believe you."

......

Tiger Prison Pass.

Bae In-ki, who was the ambassador of Henan Province at the time, was drinking in his room because he had just received the news of his impeachment.

At this time, the servant said outside the door: "Ambassador, Pushan Gong Li Mi asks to see you." ”

Li Mi?

What did he come to do?

"Take him to the side hall, I'll come later."

"Whoa."

Pei Renji put down the flask, tidied up his clothes a little, and strode out of the room.

Seeing Pei Renji come in, Li Yuan got up and said, "I've seen Pei Gong." ”

Speaking of which, Li Mi has a knighthood, and his former official position is far above him, but now he salutes him, which is quite a bit of feng shui in turn.

Pei Renji couldn't help but feel a little proud, and looked at Li Mi arrogantly: "Pushan Gong is now a coward, and he dares to come to see me alone, but he is really brave."

"Aren't you afraid that I will arrest you and hand you over to the imperial court?"

Li Mi's face did not change, and smiled: "If you were afraid, you wouldn't come alone." ”

That's right, Pei Renji sat down and asked casually, "Pushan Gong came to visit late at night, what's the matter?" ”

There was a smell of wine in the air, Li Mi looked Pei Renji up and down, and saw that his brows were furrowed, and the gloomy color between his eyebrows was very strong, and his heart was even more determined, "I came here today to discuss with Pei Gong for something important, and I also asked Pei Gong to step back from the left and right." ”

Pei Renji thought that the surroundings were heavily guarded, and Li Mi didn't dare to do anything to him, so he motioned for the servants to retreat.

"You can say it now."

Li Mi sat down opposite Pei Renji and whispered: "Pei Gong is brave and loyal, and has made great contributions to the Sui court. However, the Sui court did not trust Pei Gong, sent you to guard the Tiger Prison Pass, and also sent Yu Shi Xiao Huaijing to supervise the army.

"With Xiao Huaijing here, if Pei Gong wants to do something, he will be restrained everywhere."

Li Mi sighed regretfully: "Alas, it is in vain to waste Pei Gong's loyalty, but the court treats you like this, I really feel worthless for Pei Gong." ”

Pei Renji drank some wine, his cheeks were already a little red, and at this time, Li Mi said the central matter, and the suppressed anger and humiliation were a little bit, and his face turned red: "Don't talk nonsense, do you want to cooperate with me?" ”

"Pei Gong is wise."

Li Mi didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Pei Gong is a hero in the world, he really shouldn't live so aggrieved." As long as you get rid of Xiao Huaijing, Tiger Prison City will be yours.

"If Duke Pei is willing to join me and help me take Luokou, you will be the prince of Shangzhu Kingdom and Hedong County one day."

Pei Renji exclaimed in his heart, this Li Mi's ambition is big enough, but he is also brave and strategic, at this time he is in a dilemma, it is better to find another life.

"What Pushan Gong said is too important, I need to think carefully before giving you an answer."

Hearing this, it was basically a foregone conclusion, and Li Mi readily agreed: "This is nature, then I will wait for good news." ”

......

After Li Mi left, Pei Renji summoned Jia Yanfu to discuss the matter.

"What do you think about this?"

Jia Yanfu thought for a while and said: "If the beacon fire continues today, the soldiers are already difficult, and now they will not be rewarded for their meritorious service, and it is inevitable that they will be unhappy in their hearts.

"Pei Gong is righteous, the military supplies obtained from each battle will be distributed to the soldiers, and they will follow you with all their hearts.

"Now that Xiao Yushi is obstructing, the soldiers are resentful, and in the long run, there will definitely be a mutiny.

"I know that Pei Gong has been worried about Xiao Yushi's impeachment of you recently, and I heard that he has collected a lot of evidence, I'm afraid it will be very unfavorable to you."

Pei Renji sighed: "I know, but what can I do? After all, Xiao Yushi is a prison sent by the imperial court..."

Jia Yanfu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he raised his hand to make a movement to wipe his neck: "Xiao Huaijing doesn't know how to improvise, just like a bird in a cage, can't escape your knife." ”

......

The next day, Wang Bodang accompanied Li Mi to stand on the hillside and look at the Tiger Prison Pass.

"Will Bae In-ki really betray the imperial court?" Wang Bodang was very skeptical.

Li Mi raised the corners of his mouth, and his eyes flashed with dazzling light: "I never fight uncertain battles. ”

When Wang Bodang heard this, he remembered the previous battle with Li Yuan, and subconsciously wanted to refute it, but when he saw Li Mi's confident appearance, he couldn't bear to hit him, and swallowed his words again.

Half an hour later, Fang Yanzao ran over and said to Li Mi excitedly: "Pei Renji sent his son to send Xiao Huaijing's head and sacrifice Tiger Prison City to join us. ”

Li Mi's smile gradually expanded, until he reached the bottom of his eyes, he raised his eyebrows at Wang Bodang, "Let's go, it's time to go." ”

That night, Li Mi and Zhai Rang led their troops through the Tiger Prison Pass and went straight to Luokou.

Three days later, Yang Guang's imperial case appeared on the "Luokoucang was occupied by Wagang rebels"...
