Chapter 32: Flee (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
Yang Guang stared at the word "Li Mi" on the fold, and his whole body was fighting because of the anger in his heart, and his eyes were about to pop out.
He wanted to maintain the depth and calmness that he should have as an emperor, but when he saw Li Mi's name, he was angry in his heart, that broken household, he actually dared... Dare to rob his granary?
Also open a warehouse to release grain and help the people?
"Damn." Yang Guang picked up the fold and threw it out.
The ministers hurriedly knelt down, so frightened that they didn't dare to come out.
"Pei Renji actually dared to kill my prison army and sacrifice the Tiger Prison City, the crime is unforgivable. Ordered Dali Temple to arrest all his family members and relatives, punish the nine clans, if anyone is a sword Pei Renji, I named him a general. ”
"The nine generations of Li Mi's relatives and all those who have close dealings with him are all arrested and ready to be dealt with. Those who kill Li Mi will be sealed as the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households. "Promote Wang Shichong as the ambassador of Henan Province to arrest him, and lead 30,000 troops to Luokou to conquer the Wagang traitors immediately."
"Order Zhang Xutuo, the county guard of Xingyang, to lead his troops from Xingyang and cooperate with Wang Shichong to outflank the Wagang traitors."
...
Orders were issued from the Luoyang Palace, and the army quickly assembled and marched towards Luokou.

Hearing that Zhang Xutuo was going to kill him, Zhai Rang was so frightened that he couldn't even hold the teacup and shattered it to the ground.
"Quickly inform everyone, pack up, prepare to pull out the camp and return to Wagangzhai, and set off after dark."
Li Mi rushed to hear the order and hurriedly stopped Zhai Rang: "Zhai Gong, you can't go back to Wagangzhai at this time."
"In the past few days, we have opened warehouses to release grain and help the people, and we have achieved remarkable results, and all the surrounding forces have responded to our call and returned to Wagang. Our power is growing rapidly, and it will not be long before we have hundreds of thousands of horses in our hands, so when the time comes, why fear the Yang clan of the Sui Dynasty? ”
Zhai Rang didn't listen, he only knew that he and Zhang Xutuo had fought more than 30 times, no one was victorious, if it wasn't for his life, he might have died in the hands of Zhang Xutuo.
No, Zhang Xutuo is here, he must go.
Although he was terrified in his heart, Zhai Rang, as the leader of Wagangzhai, still had an indifferent face: "This time you captured Tiger Prison City and Luokoucang, and you made a great contribution."
"From this day on, you can build your own camp and have your own name.
"You've been in my Wagang Village for a while, don't say I didn't take care of you, so let's do it, I'll take as many people and horses as I want from Wagang, and the rest will belong to you."
"Now that the grain is sufficient, it's time for me to go back to Wagang, Pushan Gong intends to expand, and he doesn't want to go back, so let Pushan Gong do his own thing, you and I will say goodbye."
Li Mi still wanted to persuade again, but after thinking about it, Zhai Rang was too timid to stay here, it was really a burden to stay here, it was better to part ways, and he could have no scruples.
Thinking so, Li Mi pretended to be reluctant and said: "Gong Zhai has made up his mind, and it is inconvenient for me to force it, so Li will say goodbye to Gong Zhai and thank you for your kindness and care at the beginning." ”
In this way, Zhai Rang patted his buttocks, fled back to Wagang with enough grain, grass and soldiers and horses, while Li Mi continued to recruit troops and horses in Luokou.

When Li Yuan arrived at Mayi, the Turks were besieging Mayi on three sides, and it seemed that Mayi was about to be unable to hold on.
But Li Yuan was a little difficult, because the Turkic cavalry was brave and strong, and the morale was high at this time, and he had just rushed back, and the soldiers were tired and their physical strength had not yet recovered. At this time, it is not a good time to rescue Ma Yi.
Seeing Li Yuan's hesitation, Li Shimin said: "Aya, if you don't save it at this time, Ma Yi will be lost." Before the Turks knew it, we copied him from behind and killed him by surprise. ”
Li Yuan swept towards the cavalry behind, "But if you look at them, they are all exhausted, and they have no chance of winning against the Turkic cavalry." ”
"I'll go."
Luo Shixin stood up and said to Li Yuan: "Since I have followed Tang Gong, I should charge for Tang Gong." Tang Gong, I am willing to take the lead and kill a bloody way for Tang Gong. ”
Regarding the origin of Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong, Li Shimin explained to Li Yuan one by one, and Li Yuan had no other way to deal with it except to scold him for conniving at Wang Yu's nonsense.
But these two are different from Cheng Zhijie and the three, although Cheng Zhijie and the three were also captured, he has long seen their bravery on the battlefield. Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin had just arrived, and he had not seen them yet.
Li Yuan saw that Luo Shixin was tall, lean and thin, and looked weak, and he was not as old as the weak crown, so he felt a little disdainful in his heart, and his expression came out a little: "You? I'm afraid you can't even withstand armor, let alone fight. ”
Luo Shixin was furious, immediately put on two pairs of armor, hung four pots of arrows, and flew on his horse.
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then praised it and allowed him to fight.
The brothers asked for war, and Qin Qiong naturally wanted to live and die, so he also asked Li Yuan to fight.
Duan Zhixuan saw how he could let the two outsiders be in the limelight, and immediately asked for battle.
With a few of them taking the lead, the others were stimulated to the point of boiling, and one by one they asked to fight as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
Li Yuan's cavalry was not weak, but now that he had morale, he had a little more confidence in his heart.
"Okay, then the troops are divided into three routes, one is Erlang to lead Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and others to copy from the north, one is Liu Hongji, Tang Jian and others to attack from the west, and I will lead the rest of the people to attack from the south."
A battle plan was formulated, and the soldiers were divided into three routes and marched into Mayi.
Luo Shixin took the lead, recalling Li Yuan's look of contempt for him just now, and there was a fire in his heart, and he was very aggrieved.
The brother is looked down upon, that is, he is looked down upon, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin are in the same mood, the two galloped into the enemy formation, and fought all the way forward.
The Turkic cavalry hurriedly turned around to fight, but saw that Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin were very fierce and killed dozens of people in a row.
Luo Shixin beheaded a Turkic general, threw it into the air, caught it with his spear, and patrolled in front of the battle.
The Turks were stunned and did not dare to approach.
Li Shimin took advantage of the situation to attack and broke the enemy army.
And Luo Shixin went on a rampage, cutting off his nose and hiding every time he killed someone, and for a while the Turks avoided him like snakes and scorpions, and fled in panic.
Cheng Zhijie in the south also took the lead, rushing to the front, killing all the way, raising the flag first, and the bright flag fluttered on the city wall, which shocked the Turks and gave the soldiers of Mayi full of hope.
In this battle, the Turks were defeated and fled, and the Sui army plundered countless military resources.
Wang Rengong, the Taishou of Ma Yi, and Gao Junya, the deputy guard of Taiyuan, came out of the city, and cried with joy when they saw Li Yuan as if they were seeing their relatives: "Tang Gong, you are finally back..."
Li Yuan didn't expect to win this battle so easily, and later found out the reason when he was rewarded for meritorious deeds, and it was because there were several more generals.
Qin Qiong and the others alone can defeat a hundred people, each of them is brave and fearless, how can the Turks not be afraid?
"Bang."
Luo Shixin threw a sack on the ground and said to Li Yuan: "Tang Gong, Luo is thin, he didn't kill many Turkic dog thieves today, only so much.
"Laughing."
The crowd looked at it.
Luo Shixin picked up the bottom of the sack and opened it until he poured out all the contents and threw the sack aside.
Li Yuan looked at the ground, and the densely packed mountains were all bloody noses, and a thick smell of blood penetrated into his nose, which irritated his stomach and almost vomited.
"Tang Gong, there are 1,666 noses here, all of which are the noses of those Turkic dog thieves I killed."
“......”
What do you mean by "killing only so little"? According to the number of people killed, it is already the first military achievement of this battle.
Also, what does it mean to be "thin"? Obviously, he still remembered the hatred that he didn't put Luo Shixin in his eyes before.
Li Yuan was speechless for a while, but to be able to get such a fierce general, in comparison, those little things are not worth mentioning.
Li Yuan smiled: "Reward, there are many rewards..."
