Chapter 14: Killing Li Mi in Wagang
After Yang Ming killed the rebellion led by Yu Wenhua, he took the Xiaoguo army across the river to Guanzhong the next day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, although the land south of the Yangtze River was entrenched in Du Fuwei, Fu Gongyou, Li Zitong, Shen Xingfa, and other anti-thieves, Yang Ming did not take 100,000 Xiaoguo troops to exterminate these anti-thieves, they would burn high incense to worship Buddha and pray to God, so naturally they did not dare to touch Yang Ming's tiger whiskers.
Although these anti-thieves and others claim to have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, they don't even have tens of thousands of combatable soldiers in their hands, but Yang Ming's 100,000 Xiaoguo army is a real elite general.
In history, before the defeat of Wagang Li Mi, he was known as a million soldiers, but he couldn't even defeat a Luoyang city garrisoned by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses by Wang Shichong.
100,000 Xiaoguo troops marched northward, to replenish grain and grass in Luokoucang, and then pass through Luoyang to enter Guanzhong.
Yang Ming and Shi Qingxuan rode their horses, the two of them walked at the front of the team and watched the barren fields on the road, and behind them were several generals who commanded the Xiaoguo Army, Ma Dejiao, Zhao Xingshu and Chen Botu.
Although Yang Ming, His Royal Highness the Righteous King, has no prestige in the government and the opposition, nor does he have any convincing domineering spirit, Yang Ming satisfied the desire of the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army to return to Guanzhong, and Yang Ming's martial arts were extremely decisive, so the generals of the Xiaoguo Army did not disobey Yang Ming's royal order.
After the team of the Xiaoguo Army left the Yangzhou territory, Shi Qingxuan said with some worry.
"Your Royal Highness the Righteous King, after you take away the Xiaoguo Army, Jiangdu will inevitably become an empty city! Aren't you worried that Du Fuwei, Li Zitong, these rebels will capture Jiangdu and kill His Majesty the Emperor?"
Yang Ming said with a smile that didn't care.
"Unless Song Valve wants to turn his face against me, they won't let those thieves kill Yang Guang. ”
The Song Dynasty has been in Lingnan for decades, and there were originally 100,000 elite soldiers.
In the past two years, the Song valve has conquered Yunnan and the Indochina Peninsula under the advice of Yang Ming, and the power of the Song valve has become ten times stronger than in the past. In Lingnan alone, there are 200,000 soldiers.
Now the strength of the Song family is not to say that it is sweeping the south of the Yangtze River and occupying half of the country, it is easy to go north to the Central Plains to sweep away Li Yuan in Taiyuan, Dou Jiande in Hebei and others.
It's just that if the Song family really enters the Central Plains, it will not help Yang Ming become the emperor, but the Song family itself will become the emperor.
Although Song Que is a flawless demon, his son Song Shidao is really not the material to be an emperor, so in order to realize the agreement between Yang Ming and the Song family. Only after Yang Ming's troops entered the Central Plains would the Song family send troops to sweep the south of the Yangtze River, proving that the Song family had no ambition to compete for the throne.
The Song family's soldiers and horses do not go out of Lingnan, which does not mean that the anti-thief forces such as Du Fuwei and Li Zitong dare to ignore the behemoth of the Song family.
If Du Fuwei and Li Zitong really dared to attack Jiangdu in the face of the world's condemnation, the Song family would inevitably send troops to rescue Yang Guang.
Even if the Song family turned against Yang Ming and allowed Du Fuwei and Li Zitong to attack Jiangdu and kill Yang Guang, there would be no loss for Yang Ming.
"Now Yang Guang has completely become a faint king! Even if he dies at the hands of those anti-thieves, in my opinion, it is better than continuing to live in a muddy way!"
Hearing Yang Ming's words, Shi Qingxuan couldn't help but show a stunned expression.
Even if there is no father-son relationship between Yang Ming and Yang Guang. But the two of them are well-known fathers and sons all over the world after all, and Yang Ming's current official title is even more given by Yang Guang.
Yang Ming didn't care about Yang Guang's life and death so much, if it was spread, Yang Ming would definitely be infamous for being disloyal and unfilial.
However, Yang Ming can brazenly threaten a weak woman, obviously not caring about what others think of him.
For example, among the anti-thief forces today, Wagangzhai is the strongest, claiming to have 500,000 soldiers, and in the eyes of those ignorant people, it seems that it is the most promising force to overthrow the Great Sui Empire and dominate the world.
As for in the eyes of the gate valve family. Wagangzhai is a joke.
In history, Li Mi only failed to attack Luoyang, but the huge anti-thief force of Wagangzhai disappeared in a blink of an eye. It is because the current strength of Wagangzhai is just a castle in the air.
Wagangzhai claims to have 500,000 soldiers, but in fact, there are not even 100,000 soldiers who can fight, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of people are just farmers who put down their hoes, and they are of little use except for consuming the grain and grass of Wagangzhai.
The anti-thief forces do not produce, and the grain and grass are basically obtained by plundering.
Today, Wagangzhai can gather hundreds of thousands of people, one is because Wagangzhai occupies Liyangcang and Luokoucang. One is that the family gate valve who is optimistic about Wagangzhai lends them grain and grass.
The grain in Liyang Cang and Luokou Cang is not inexhaustible, and it is those gate valve families who really supply the grain and grass in Wagangzhai.
After Li Mi's attack on Luoyang failed, those gate lord families no longer supported the Wagang army after seeing the weak nature of Wagang Village, and could not get the grain and grass provided by the gate lord family, this is the truth of the defeat of the Wagang army that gathered hundreds of thousands.
It's like the battle of Guandu. After the black nest grain and grass of Yuan Shao, the overlord of Hebei, was burned, he was also defeated by Cao Cao, who was far inferior to his own soldiers and horses.
At this time, although Li Mi, who joined the Wagang Army, established the Pushan Public Camp, the master of the Wagang Army was still the leader Zhai Rang.
However, the relationship between Zhai Rang and Li Mi is already like fire and water, and sooner or later there will be a life-and-death relationship between the two.
Yang Ming and the Xiaoguo army quickly entered the sphere of influence of the Wagang army, but the large army of the Wagang army was stationed in Xingyang City, and the small group of Wagang troops encountered along the way naturally would not provoke the 100,000 Xiaoguo army with moths to the fire.
Luokoucang is one of the two granaries that the Wagang Army relies on for its livelihood, so the Wagang Army has stationed tens of thousands of elite soldiers here.
Before the Xiaoguo army arrived at Luokoucang, Yang Ming came to Xingyang City alone and with one horse, preparing to persuade Zhai Rang and Li Mi to evacuate the Wagang soldiers and horses in Luokoucang.
However, after Yang Ming entered Xingyang City overnight, he saw that the largest house in the city was on fire, and the soldiers of the Wagang Army in the city gathered there.
Yang Ming came to the burning mansion curiously, and saw thousands of people from the Wagang Army surrounding the mansion.
At the entrance of the mansion, two groups of people were facing each other.
One of them stood with thousands of Wagang soldiers, and the leader was a middle-aged man with a majestic and noble body, surrounded by more than a dozen men and women with high martial arts.
On the other side, his back was against the burning mansion, and the leader was a middle-aged man with a weak complexion, accompanied only by a dozen wounded soldiers.
The middle-aged man with a weak complexion glared at the middle-aged man with an angry face. Said fiercely.
"Anti-thief Li Mi, dare to fight alone with me Zhai Rang?"
The middle-aged man full of luxury responded in a soft and pleasant voice.
"The big dragon head is invited, how dare Li Mi not accompany him. ”
These two middle-aged men who met each other turned out to be Zhai Rang, the leader of the Wagang Army, and Li Mi, the second leader.
And looking at the situation at this time, Li Mi's side is full of people, but Zhai Rang, the big leader, seems to have rebelled against his relatives.
Yang Ming didn't expect that he would come so coincidentally. Seeing that Li Mi was about to pull out his knife to kill Zhai Rang, Yang Ming frowned and jumped forward, and his body flew lightly, and hundreds of soldiers fell between Zhai Rang and Li Mi.
"Don't do it yet, this king has something to say!"
Seeing Zhai Rang and Li Mi looking at him in shock and confusion, Yang Ming said with a smile.
"This king is Yang Ming, the righteous king! Now this king is going to lead 100,000 Xiaoguo troops to Luokoucang to replenish grain and grass, which of you two will order the Wagang army stationed in Luokoucang to withdraw from Luokoucang for this king?"
After Yang Ming's words were finished, Zhai Rang, Li Mi and the others all had strange faces, as if they had seen a madman.
As the most powerful rebel in the Great Sui Empire, the relationship between the Wagang Army and the Great Sui Empire is already a life-and-death relationship.
But Yang Ming is the righteous king of the Great Sui royal family. Not only did he break into Xingyang City of the Wagang Army alone, but he also gave orders to Zhai Rang and Li Mi, as if he regarded the two leaders of the Wagang Army as his subordinates.
Li Mibu took one of the young men two steps forward, raised his hand and pointed at Yang Ming and said coldly.
"Where did a madman dare to talk nonsense here! Listen to the order left and right, kill him for me!"
Although this young man is not the commander of the Wagang Army, he is Li Mi's only son, Li Tianfan, so when he heard his order, a group of Wagang soldiers rushed towards Yang Ming with a sword.
The corners of Yang Ming's mouth hooked up a sneer. Seeing more than a dozen Wagang soldiers rushing towards him with swords, he raised his right hand sword and commanded the movement. Streams of red sword qi erupted from his sword fingers.
Snort!
Before those Wagang soldiers rushed in front of Yang Ming, the sword qi erupted from Yang Ming's sword fingers and penetrated through their bodies.
After all the soldiers of the Wagang Army fell, Yang Ming's sword pointed at Li Tianfan.
"Keep your men!"
Seeing that Yang Ming's sword was aimed at Li Tianfan, Li Mi shouted anxiously, and Li Mi's subordinates also rushed over to protect Li Tianfan.
Snort!
A sword qi erupted from Yang Ming's sword finger, and the speed of sound generally penetrated Li Tianfan's neck.
The next moment. There was a sudden silence around.
Li Mi's subordinates stood in place one by one, staring at Yang Ming, who had killed Li Tianfan, with wide eyes.
Li Mi's eyes were even more spitting, and his whole body was full of killing intent.
After Yang Ming killed Li Tianfan, he rushed to Li Mi with a kick, and then stretched out his right hand to hold Li Mi's neck. lifted Li Mi's majestic body of more than 150 catties into the air.
The killing intent in Li Mi's whole body disappeared in an instant, and he pleaded with Yang Ming with a look of horror on his face.
"His Royal Highness the Righteous King...... The dog Li Tianfan was innocent of offending His Royal Highness, and Li Mi had no intention of avenging him. ”
Yang Ming sneered and teased.
"If I want to kill you, you don't have the life to talk to me at this time! Zhai Rang and Li Mi, which of the two of you can order the Wagang army to withdraw from Luokoucang?"
Seeing that Yang Ming first killed Li Tianfan, and then captured Li Mi, Zhai Rang felt as if he was in a dream.
After hearing Yang Ming's inquiry, Zhai Rang's eyes lit up and he said loudly.
"Your Royal Highness King Yi, Bing Yuan, who is stationed in Luokoucang, is really my general, and I can order him to withdraw from Luokoucang. ”
"Zhai Rang, are you crazy?"
Li Mi showed a look of annoyance on his face, and glared at Zhai Rang angrily.
"Don't you know how important Luokoucang is to our Wagang Army?"
The Wagang army was able to gather hundreds of thousands of people and make all kinds of rebels subordinate to them, because the Wagang army had enough food to support hundreds of thousands of people after occupying Liyangcang and Luokoucang.
If the Wagang Army loses Luokoucang now, it will not only deal a huge blow to the prestige of the Wagang Army, but also reduce the hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Wagang by more than 100,000.
Yang Ming shook his head and said with a sneer.
"Li Mi, Li Mi, in my opinion, the person who went crazy was not Zhai Rang, but you who thought you were smart!"
Zhai Rang is now at the end of his rope, let alone selling Luokoucang to Yang Ming, even if he sells the Wagang Army to Yang Ming, as long as Zhai Rang can save his life, Zhai Rang will make a sure profit.
Li Mi is not a stupid person after all, he fell into the hands of Yang Ming, a killer at this time, but his life may be lost at any time.
Turning his gaze and taking a deep breath, Li Mi said to Yang Ming in a trembling voice.
"His Royal Highness the Righteous King...... Now that Zhai Rang has betrayed his relatives and left, Bing Yuanzhen will definitely not obey his orders anymore! Now that I, Li Mi, have the support of the generals of the Wagang army, I can also order the Wagang army to withdraw from Luokoucang, and I can also ensure that the Wagang army will not invade the territory of the Great Sui again. ”
I have to say that Li Mi is really a smart person.
Moreover, Li Mi's ability is more than ten times stronger than Zhai Rang.
After tonight's civil strife, if the survivor is Li Mi, Li Mi will definitely have a way to continue to twist the Wagang army into one.
It's a pity that Yang Ming is His Royal Highness the Righteous King of the Great Sui Imperial Family, he wants to sweep away the world and rebel thieves, so naturally he will not let a smart person like Li Mi continue to grow with the Wagang army, so after Zhai Rang sold Luokoucang to Yang Ming, Li Mi's death was already doomed.
"Li Mi, Li Mi, your Pushan Gong family is also regarded as the emperor's favor, but you first rebelled with Yang Xuangan, and now you joined the Wagang Army to cause trouble in the Great Sui, and a traitor like you will already die innocent!"
After Yang Ming finished speaking coldly, he suddenly threw Li Mi's body in front of Zhai Rang.
Bang bang!
Li Mi's head hit the ground under Zhai Rang's feet, and his head cracked and he couldn't die anymore.
Seeing Yang Ming suddenly kill Li Mi with a spicy hand, including Zhai Rang, everyone in the Wagang Army gasped.
Yang Ming shook his right hand, as if he wanted to shake off something dirty in his hand, and then said to Zhai Rang.
"Zhai Dalongtou, if you don't want to end up like Li Mi, you should immediately send someone to order the Wagang army to withdraw from Luokoucang. ”
Zhai Rang's whole body trembled, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said.
"Yes...... Yes, I will immediately go and give an order, thank Your Highness King Yi for eradicating the thief Li Mi for me. ”
Although Zhai Rang betrayed his relatives at this time, he was the leader of the Wagang Army after all, and there were not a few people in the Wagang Army who supported him.
As soon as Li Mi died at this time, although Zhai Rang could not prevent the division of the Wagang army, he was able to gather the old troops to save his life and the position of the leader.
For Yang Ming, Zhai Rang was indeed sincerely grateful at this time.
Just as Yang Ming turned around and was about to leave Xingyang City, one of the beautiful women in Li Mi's general suddenly blocked Yang Ming.
"Your Royal Highness the Righteous King is slow! You relied on your martial arts to openly kill the secret prince, aren't you afraid of being the enemy of the world?"
The battle for world dominance relies on battle formations.
Although it is not stipulated that the people in the rivers and lakes cannot assassinate the commander of an army and the lord of a force, but in the world, the lord of a force who can dominate the world is at least a master of the innate realm, and only the master of the grandmaster can really assassinate them.
There is no rule on the rivers and lakes that you can't assassinate the lord of a force, just because a congenital master can't assassinate the lord of a force, and the grandmaster disdains to be an assassin.
However, Yang Ming's brazen killing of Li Mi is equivalent to breaking the unspoken rules that all grandmasters in the world are abiding by.
If the master of the sect could also assassinate the lord of a force at will, as long as Fu Cailin assassinated Yang Guang in Liaodong, there would be no subsequent two expeditions to Goguryeo.
During the siege of Yanmen, as long as Bi Xuan assassinated Yang Guang, the Great Sui Empire would have fallen apart two years ago, and the world would be in chaos.
The world-famous Bi Xuan and Fu Cailin belonged to enemy countries with the Great Sui Empire, and they did not dare to assassinate Yang Guang, which shows how serious the consequences would be for Yang Ming to kill Li Mi. (To be continued.) )
