With military exploits, it is natural to report them in a timely manner. Otherwise, isn't this battle fought in vain?

Hearing that Zhao Mingyuan had captured Qin Shubao alive here, Zhai Rang was overjoyed. After all, this is one of the three famous generals under Zhang Xutuo.

Therefore, Zhai Rang directly asked Zhao Mingyuan to escort Qin Shubao over. Even the original task was gone, and naturally someone else took over from him.

Zhao Mingyuan naturally did not stop, and immediately led his troops to approach the main force after receiving the summons. After all, his army would easily be killed by the Sui army, and of course he had to join the main force.

Here, Zhao Mingyuan met Li Mi for the first time, and of course Shen Luoyan beside him.

Shen Luoyan is really a person as his name suggests, and he does have the appearance of a sinking fish and a wild goose, his eyes are like a lake of autumn water, with slender eyebrows that go into the sideburns, and the whole face makes people fascinated.

With jade-like skin, slender figure and peerless demeanor, she is indeed a rare beauty.

The most rare thing is that she has a heart-pounding nobility that can make any man ashamed of his admiration.

Now, she is looking at Zhao Mingyuan with those beautiful eyes, with a smile in her eyes, as if to say that your peeking has been caught.

This made Zhao Mingyuan hurriedly look away and look at Li Mi beside her.

As for Li Mi, I have to say that he looks dignified and is a very attractive person.

Of course, Li Mi not only looks attractive, but also does what he does.

Qin Shubao was escorted into the camp tent, and Zhai Rang looked at this fierce general who had fought against the enemy many times, who had been chased and beaten by him in the past, but now he was caught by his subordinates and held in the hall, and felt extremely comfortable. There are quite 30 years of Hedong and 30 years of Hexi.

Therefore, Zhai Rang even opened his mouth to persuade him to surrender, wanting Qin Shubao to surrender and join Wagangzhai.

Zhai Rang personally persuaded him to surrender, and Li Mi was also beside him to help, hoping that Qin Shubao could serve Wagangzhai.

However, Qin Shubao refused to surrender, but used Zhao Mingyuan as a shield.

He made a bet with Zhao Mingyuan, and then said in public: "If Wagangzhai can win this battle, it will be surrendered below." If you can't win, let me go according to the bet. Of course, if you break the gambling contract, you won't let me go. If you want to kill or chop, you will also listen to it. ”

After speaking, Qin Shubao stood there quietly, without saying a word.

When someone even said, "Why was Zhao Mingyuan able to make a bet with Qin Shubao and give such a promise." Do you really want to let Qin Shubao go? ”

Before Zhao Mingyuan could speak, Li Mi immediately replied, "What do you mean by this?"

Could it be that my Wagangzhai can't beat Zhang Xutuo?

What are your intentions?

Brother Zhao is obviously full of confidence in my Wagangzhai, so he made this bet.

Moreover, even if the war is unfavorable for the time being, you can take Qin Shubao to negotiate with the Sui army.

Using this as a bargaining chip, it is enough to deliver Qin Shubao to Sui Jun, and it is not a violation of the gambling contract.

In short, Brother Zhao has made a great contribution this time, how can he be punished? ”

Even, Li Mi immediately asked for credit for Zhao Mingyuan in front of Zhai Rang.

Zhai Rang did not refuse, after all, Zhao Mingyuan had indeed made real meritorious contributions, so he added Zhao Mingyuan to the official position of a general.

This is not a promotion.

After all, Zhao Mingyuan's official position was a civilian official, and the position of a general was a military attaché. Only by adding the position of general can you legitimately lead the army.

Before, I just looked at Zhao Mingyuan's ability for the time being, but now that he is completely able to lead the army, the 2,000 people will be assigned to his name, which can be regarded as completely owned by Zhao Mingyuan.

Of course, it was not his private army, and he had to obey the orders of Wagangzhai.

Still, it's not bad.

After the crowd dispersed, Li Mi actually sent someone to invite Zhao Mingyuan to the banquet.

After Zhao Mingyuan arrived, he saw that all the people present were extremely close to Li Mi, Wang Bodang, Zu Junyan, Shen Luoyan, and Xu Shiji, who were Li Mi's four right-hand men.

During the banquet, Li Mi behaved very cordially to Zhao Mingyuan, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, talking about Zhao Mingyuan's ability to capture Qin Shubao alive, presumably martial arts are also good, and took the opportunity to ask Zhao Mingyuan's origin.

Zhao Mingyuan just said that he was born in a secluded Taoist sect called the Xiaoyao School. It's a pity that the people of the sect have withered, and now he is the head of the sect, plus two disciples who have just been accepted.

Li Mi naturally immediately comforted him, saying that he would definitely be able to carry forward the sect.

Shen Luoyan also said during the banquet that he heard that Zhao Mingyuan proposed the idea of attacking Luokoucang to Zhai Rang. In fact, she also once offered this strategy for Li Mi, which can be said to be the same as the hero, and expressed great appreciation for Zhao Mingyuan.

The appreciation of the beauty naturally makes people happy, and Zhao Mingyuan feels that he has been intoxicated by Shen Luoyan's admiring eyes.

In short, at this banquet, Zhao Mingyuan ate and drank very comfortably. Sure enough, people who can leave their names in the annals of history do have their advantages.

Perhaps, the only disharmony is probably that Xu Shiji's face on the side is a little green.

Zhao Mingyuan felt that Li Mi wanted to let himself enter his small circle. I'm afraid that Li Mi has already prepared to replace Zhai Wai by now. Even, he may have thought about occupying the magpie's nest before joining Wagangzhai.

This is what the hero sees!

Zhao Mingyuan already had a plan in his heart, how could he join them and make a wedding dress for Li Mi? The reverse is pretty much the same.

However, after all, Li Mi didn't say anything.

Now Li Mi is just expressing his affection and getting close to Zhao Mingyuan.

Zhao Mingyuan naturally will not refuse people thousands of miles away.

The next battle had little to do with Zhao Mingyuan's subordinates.

After all, against the Sui army, it is natural that elite soldiers and strong generals are still needed.

Zhao Mingyuan's 2,000 soldiers went up for fear of collapse at the slightest touch. Everyone will even be afraid of being broken up by the rout, how can they let them play.

Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan is also happy to be idle.

Everything is like in the history books, Wagangzhai faced Zhang Xutuo's attack and retreated.

Faced with such a situation, Zhai Rang was worried all day long, so he called everyone to find a way.

It was supposed to be Li Mi's advice, but this time Zhao Mingyuan said it in advance.

This strategy is unremarkable to say, it is just a trick, and then lure the enemy deeper, and then use the help of elite soldiers to raid.

There was no need to even cheat defeat, they had been losing since the beginning of the battle. Just lure the Sui army to a suitable place for an ambush. The terrain in the dense forest north of Dahai Temple is very suitable for ambush.

Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan said it, and everyone was not surprised.

Shen Luoyan looked at Zhao Mingyuan's eyes with brilliance, it turned out that she had already said the same strategy as Li Mi. Now seeing Zhao Mingyuan say the same, he naturally has a feeling of affection for Zhao Mingyuan.

Zhai Rang listened to Zhao Mingyuan's strategy and was still a little hesitant. After all, they fought against Zhang Xutuo many times, and similar strategies were not unused, but unfortunately they gained little.

But Li Mi immediately spoke out in support, and even tried his best to resist public opinion, asking Zhai Rang to lead the main force to confront it head-on, and he and his four powerful subordinates Wang Bodang, Zu Junyan, Shen Luoyan, and Xu Shiji led more than 1,000 good hands to ambush in the dense forest north of Dahai Temple.

This is not only because he wants to win over Zhao Mingyuan, but also because Shen Luoyan has already said this plan for him, and he also thinks this strategy is good.

Therefore, Li Mi naturally tried his best to persuade Zhai Rang, and even said that he was willing to take the lead and lead his troops to ambush.

Of course, as the proposer of this strategy, Zhao Mingyuan participated in it, and then ambushed Zhang Xutuo together.

In fact, it was Li Mi who saw that Zhao Mingyuan was able to capture Qin Shubao alive, and knew that Zhao Mingyuan must have good martial arts.

And Zhang Xutuo's gun skills are world-famous, and his "wind" marksmanship is known as "the first shot in the world". His martial arts are so strong that even if he is besieged by many people, he is not sure of it. Therefore, Li Mi naturally wanted more masters to join.

Zhang Xutuo is naturally capable. However, his character is indeed arrogant, and since he came into battle, he has always been invincible. This exacerbated his arrogance and conceit.

Even he was unrestrained in front of Yang Guang and was very proud, which naturally did not make Yang Guang happy. This is also the reason why he has made many military exploits over the years, but he has not been promoted.

In the army, Zhang Xutuo was even more obstinate, and naturally ignored the defeated generals like Wagangzhai.

This is exactly the defeat of the arrogant army.

It was precisely because of this that Zhang Xutuo ignored everyone's dissuasion and chased and killed all the way, so he fell into an ambush.

When Zhao Mingyuan rushed out of the forest with Li Mi and the others and killed Zhang Xutuo, Zhang Xutuo still didn't take them seriously at all.

At this time, as long as Zhang Xutuo retreats immediately and sends a large army to resist, there is still a great hope of getting out.

Unexpectedly, Li Mi led elite soldiers to raid, and even Zhai Rang led his troops to turn around, and under the front and rear attacks, the Sui army suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Xutuo did not pay attention to the plans around him to persuade him to leave and regain his strength and fight again, but let everyone retreat, he wanted to fight to the death to the end, for everyone.

I don't know if he is relying on his martial arts, or if he has seen that the Sui Dynasty is exhausted and wants to be martyred for the Great Sui.

In short, Zhang Xutuo did not dodge, but rushed towards Li Mi and them.

In this battle, in order to deal with Zhang Xutuo, Wagangzhai can be regarded as a master. Li Mi, Wang Bodang, Zu Junyan, Shen Luoyan, Xu Shiji, Zhao Mingyuan and others besieged together, which can be regarded as giving Zhang Xutuo enough face to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Zhang Xutuo's marksmanship is indeed good, the gun is strong and domineering, like a raging wind and waves, which makes people dare not face it.

However, after all, it was an enemy, and after hundreds of moves, he suffered dozens of wounds, and was finally finished by Li Mi with one palm.

Of course, this is because Zhao Mingyuan did not exert his full strength, only showing his innate strength.

However, even so, Zhao Mingyuan's swordsmanship was sharp, his moves were changeable, and his momentum was extraordinary, but he also left a deep impression on everyone.

This battle made Li Mi famous all over the world, and he became the most prestigious figure in the Wagang Army, faintly above the big dragon head Zhai Rang.

This great victory established the foundation of the Wagang Army and dealt a heavy blow to the prestige of the Sui Army.

In this situation, Zhai Rang had no choice but to let Li Mi lead an army by himself, known as the Pushan Public Battalion.

Li Mi was born in a noble family and was enshrined for generations, so he inherited the title of Duke of Pushan, so he took this name as his name.

Wang Bodang, Zu Junyan, Shen Luoyan, Xu Shiji and others naturally took advantage of the situation to become subordinate generals of the Pushan Public Camp.

However, Zhao Mingyuan refused Li Mi's solicitation and did not join the Pushan public camp, which was unexpected.
