Chapter 17: Shen Luoyan's Melancholy
Although Shen Luoyan didn't understand what Zhao Mingyuan meant, was he sure that he would definitely be able to defeat Li Mi and take Luokoucang faster?
However, no matter what Zhao Mingyuan did, Shen Luoyan did not approve of Li Mi's betting.
After all, gambling has the potential to lose.
Now Li Mi's best choice is not to follow the path set by the other party, but to follow his own plan step by step.
However, looking at the anger in Li Mi's eyes, Shen Luoyan understood that she couldn't stop Li Mi.
After all, this time Zhao Mingyuan provoked in public, if Li Mi retreated, I am afraid that everyone will think that Li Mi is afraid of Zhao Mingyuan. This has a lot of damage to Li Mi's majesty.
However, Shen Luoyan knew that the reason why Li Mi had such a great reputation had a lot to do with his invincibility.
If Li Mi's undefeated aura is broken, I am afraid that people's hearts will be changeable at that time, and it will be difficult to gather people's hope.
The lesser of two evils, Li Mi shouldn't be so impulsive.
However, since Li Mi joined Wagangzhai, he has won successive battles, and he has made great contributions to the destruction of Zhang Xutuo. Now it is an independent leader, and the establishment of Pushan Public Camp is at the height of its fame.
Therefore, although Li Mi knew that Zhao Mingyuan was deliberately provocative, he couldn't swallow this breath and was unwilling to show weakness in public.
What's more, Li Mi never thought that he might lose.
In Li Mi's eyes, although Zhao Mingyuan does have some ability. But he has no background, just a wild Taoist from a small sect. Relying on the favor of Zhai Rang and the convergence of karma, this is where we are today. Where can compare to his background as the fourth and third dukes.
In fact, Li Mi not only looked down on Zhao Mingyuan in his heart, but even the entire Wagangzhai, including Zhai Rang, he looked down on him.
In Li Mi's eyes, they are just some broken households.
How can Zhai Rang be above himself. And Zhao Mingyuan, a young man, if he followed Shen Luoyan's strategy, he would be above himself, which made Li Mi very unhappy.
Although this strategy was good, Li Mi was unwilling to implement it.
Li Mi has always been proud of his noble birth.
Previously, although he succumbed to Yang Xuangan's doorman.
However, who is Yang Xuangan?
That's the lineage of Hongnong Yang's family!
How noble!
You must know that in the eyes of many people, Yang Jian and Yang Guang are just branches of the Hongnong Yang family.
Therefore, Li Mi has never been ashamed of following the Yang family.
It's just that after Yang Su's death, Yang Xuan was arrogant and self-serving. At the time of the rebellion, Li Mi clearly made three strategies, but Yang Xuangan took the next strategy as the top, and finally died in defeat.
Li Mi thought that this was not a matter of his own strength, but the reason why Yang Xuangan refused to listen to his own strategy at the beginning. When it comes to military strength, Zhao Mingyuan will definitely not be able to defeat him.
It's a pity that Li Mi didn't think that Yang Xuangan didn't listen to his strategy at the beginning, but took the next strategy as the best policy.
Now, why didn't he disobey Shen Luoyan's strategy and be self-righteous?
What is the difference between him and Yang Xuangan at the beginning?
Perhaps, Li Mi is smarter than Yang Xuangan, but he is also more conceited.
In the end, Li Mi naturally agreed, and attacked Luokoucang with Zhao Mingyuan.
Even he showed a brotherhood with Zhao Mingyuan, saying things that no one believed, saying that everyone would work together to fight against the Sui army and capture Luokoucang.
Everyone showed extreme approval on their faces, as if Li Mi and Zhao Mingyuan were a pair of half-brothers.
When the deliberations were over, the people dispersed. Zhai Rang quietly signaled to let Zhao Mingyuan stay.
When only Zhai Rang and Zhao Mingyuan were left, Zhai Rang asked with a worried face: "Brother Zhao, do you have a chance of winning this attack on Luokoucang?" ”
Of course, Zhao Mingyuan understood that what he was asking was not whether he could capture Luokoucang, but whether he could capture Luokoucang before Li Mi.
Zhao Mingyuan replied: "Big dragon head, please rest assured."
Although Luokoucang is important, Zhang Xutuo has always guarded Xingyang, the gateway to Luokoucang, so there have always been not many defenders there.
Now, the Sui army has been newly defeated, the morale of the army has been greatly boosted, and the morale is low, and it is by no means difficult for our army to take Luokoucang by taking advantage of the situation.
The only difficulty is how to capture Luokou Castle before Pushan Gong.
I have already made up my mind about this matter, and the big dragon head can rest assured. ”
But Zhai Rang was not at ease at all, and then said: "Since our Wagangzhai broke Zhang Xutuo and took Xingyang City.
Yang Guang, that big dusk, must be able to guess that our next target is Luokoucang.
I'm afraid that as the virtuous brother said, he will send an army to support Luokoucang. He might even ambush you on the way to Luokoucang.
It's not an easy journey.
What's more, Li Mi is known for his resourcefulness, and he also has many elite soldiers and strong generals under him.
If Li Mi is allowed to capture Luokoucang first, his momentum will inevitably be even more arrogant, and it will be a blessing or a curse to my Wagangzhai! ”
Zhao Mingyuan heard Zhai Rang's worries, so he gave him a reassurance. said: "Don't worry.
It is precisely because Li Mi's reputation is so strong that it is far from being comparable to me.
Therefore, whether it is the defenders of Luokoucang or the reinforcements of the Sui army, they will inevitably pay more attention to Li Mi's and give priority to dealing with him.
And I can take the opportunity to capture Luokoucang and seize the advantage in one fell swoop. ”
Zhai Rang thought about it, this is indeed the truth, and then he put his mind at ease.
When Zhao Mingyuan left, it was already early. Zhai Rang even said that he would stay for dinner, but Zhao Mingyuan said that he wanted to prepare for the expedition, and the soldiers were very fast, and Li Mi could not be allowed to take the lead. Zhai Rang didn't keep anyone.
Zhao Mingyuan walked alone on the road back home. This road is not far from Zhai Rang's mansion, so it is naturally very guarded, and there are no idle people waiting to enter.
It's just that Zhao Mingyuan unexpectedly found that there was a graceful figure in front of him.
Such a look and temperament is unique in Wagangzhai. Naturally, it is the "pretty military division" Shen Luoyan is undoubted.
However, why is she here at this time, and it seems that something is wrong. Zhao Mingyuan was a little puzzled when he saw Shen Luoyan's faltering and lost soul.
Although he didn't understand what was happening, Zhao Mingyuan felt that this was a good opportunity, and hurriedly came to Shen Luoyan's approach.
It turned out that as soon as they left the council hall, Shen Luoyan said to Li Mi that they should not agree to attack Luokoucang with Zhao Mingyuan. It's very risky and unnecessary.
But Li Mi replied: "Does Luo Yan think that I am inferior to Zhao Mingyuan?" ”
The cold eyes stung Shen Luoyan and made her stunned in place.
Unexpectedly, after Li Mi finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and left quickly.
Shen Luoyan watched Li Mi's back getting farther and farther away, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Shen Luoyan was born in a wealthy family, is well versed in the art of war, the way of strategy, and is also a master of martial arts.
She assisted Li Mi to become the most prestigious master of the art of war in the world, creating the myth of invincibility.
She has always regarded Li Mi as Allah, the hero who will rule the world, end the troubled times, and put things right.
And Li Mi's performance all the time has also strengthened her belief.
After all, Li Mi is known for his prestige, treats people kindly, is as deep as the sea, and humbly accepts advice. Therefore, Shen Luoyan was extremely loyal to Li Mi and planned for him.
Even though Li Miming knew that she didn't like Xu Shiji, she kept matching the two of them, and even used her to win over Zhao Mingyuan.
It's just that Shen Luoyan didn't get angry because of this. After all, in her heart, those who achieve great things are not informal, and some things can be sacrificed for the sake of greater ideals.
As a woman, Shen Luoyan is known for her resourcefulness, good use of means, and absolute ruthlessness when necessary, so she is known as the "femme fatale".
The reason why she helped Li Mi was because she was optimistic about him, but also because only Li Mi didn't care about her identity as a woman and was willing to adopt her strategy, which could allow her to show her strengths.
This is the reason why Shen Luoyan is extremely loyal to Li Mi, because she has no choice. In today's world, she has not yet met a second person who is willing to use women.
But today, Li Mi's performance disappointed her.
Is this still the Li Mi who humbly accepted advice and obeyed her in the past?
It's like a different person.
It's so arrogant!
Weakness and ignorance have never been an obstacle to survival, arrogance is.
Although it may seem like this is just a minor issue, it is understandable to be emotional in the moment.
But the wise man saw a thousand miles, a little clue, but Shen Luoyan seemed to have seen the fate of Li Mi's defeat.
Could it be that my dream of showing my talent as a woman will not be realized in the end?
Shen Luoyan thought like this, and her vision gradually blurred.
Suddenly, she felt a handkerchief appear in front of her at some point, and someone whispered softly in her ear: "Wipe it!" ”
Shen Luoyan was at the most vulnerable moment in her heart at this time, so she took the handkerchief and wiped away her tears.
After settling down, Shen Luoyan realized that the person standing next to him turned out to be Zhao Mingyuan.
Zhao Mingyuan saw Shen Luoyan crying sadly here, and he already had a guess in his heart.
After all, the only person who can make Shen Luoyan have such mood swings is probably her lord Li Mi, even if her husband Xu Shiji may not be able to do it now.
Zhao Mingyuan's heart suddenly moved, and then he handed over the handkerchief.
Although he also knew that this corner was not so easy to dig, a woman with a strong sense of dedication like Shen Luoyan was not so easy to shake.
However, the opportunity is really rare, and there are not many times when Shen Luoyan is as weak as now.
Don't miss the opportunity, so what's the point of giving it a try.
Even if you don't succeed, it's good to be able to get married.
Seeing that Shen Luoyan had wiped away her tears, her mood stabilized a little.
Zhao Mingyuan said gently: "What is the sadness of Luoyan? Maybe you can confide in me, even if I can't help, it will be more comfortable to say it. ”
Shen Luoyan had come back to his senses at this time, and naturally understood Zhao Mingyuan's thoughts, and smiled lightly at Zhao Mingyuan.
Although she had wiped away her tears, this smile was still as touching as pear blossoms with rain.
But her words made Zhao Mingyuan stunned: "Zhao Gongzi's handkerchief is so fragrant!" I don't know if this is given by the virgin girl, or the Su Su girl, or the Chu Chu girl? ”
