Li Mi was on the bed, but his mightyness was still strong and said softly: "My Lords, I call you all here today because there is something important to discuss. Now Li Jing sent people to attack Jindi Pass, and Jindi Pass is in an emergency. I don't know what kind of advice you have to deal with."

The Wagang crowd was silent for a moment. When Qin Shubao saw it, he suddenly felt that the situation was familiar. He couldn't help but turn his head and look at Cheng Yaojin, and find that he was also looking at him. The two of them flashed with their eyes, and they both saw the helplessness and desolation between them.

Of course, there was also a gap in his eyes. Qin Shubao suddenly thought that under General Zhang's account, he also saw Cheng Yaojin's gaze. It turned out that betrayal had already begun at that time!

How similar is this scene to Zhang Xutuo’s tent?

Everyone was silent, not because they had no choice but to do anything else. They were all feeling panic in their hearts. Although Wagang has conquered most of the land in Henan, bandits from all over the country have advised Li Mi to be king and submit to him, but no one knows how it will develop now.

When he returned to Luocang, Li Yangcang was taken back by the Sui army. Dongdu, Li Yang and Xiangyang had already pressed Wagang tightly into a triangle. Li Mi was still persistent in preparing to attack Dongdu next time, but Xiao Buyi was not going to give him another chance. From the beginning of his defense to the later stalemate, now it is time to counterattack, how much can Wagang defend Luokoucang do?

Zhai Rang coughed lightly, "Who is guarding Jinti Pass now?"

Some were speechless, some were silent, and some really didn't know. Li Mi frowned and said in a deep voice: "It's Zu Junyan. This guy has extraordinary strategy. Chang He, and Zhang Liang and the other two assisted him. I asked Chai Xiaohe to support him too. Jindiguan City is high and thick, so Li Jing will imitate the battle of Li Yang."

The Wagang people all breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhai Hong said carelessly: "Since that's the case, what else are we worried about? Let's go back to sleep."

"Zhai Hong. Don't talk too much." Zhai Rang scolded.

Zhai Hong flattened his mouth and snorted coldly. Li Mi was unhappy, but he tried his best to suppress it. "Jindi Pass is just a message released by the Dongdu. Thinking about the past, we will conquer Jindi Pass, go to Xingyang, seize Luokou, fight Luoshui, and defeat Wang Shichong, and attack Dongdu was unable to attack. As such, the earth-shaking, Dongdu has repeatedly invaded our territory. If we don't give a head-on attack, I'm afraid that the next step will be even more arrogant."

Li Mi said all of them were proud, and the Wagang people were excited and silent. Wang Bodang said loudly: "Yes, we should take the initiative to attack. According to my plan, it is better to divide our troops to assist Jindi Pass first, break up the besieged Sui army there, and then capture Liyang City!"

Although his voice was strong, no one responded, which was a little embarrassed. Li Mi smiled and said, "Bo should be honored and worthy of praise. Xuan Zao, what do you have to say?"

Fang Xuanzao frowned and said, "Duke Wei. Now in my opinion, the situation in Wagang is critical. Xiao Buyi is extremely insidious. He did not rush to attack Luokou, but sent Zhang Zhenzhou and Wang Shichong to restrain our main force. At present, Sui soldiers kept sending troops to Yique and expel our Wagang army, causing panic among the people in the land. Gu Shuai returned to Luo, undoubtedly waiting to die!"

"What about you?" Li Mi asked with a frown.

"Now that the road to west is completely cut off, and Xiangyang is involved in going south. One way is to go straight east, take Xu Yuanlang's Langya, Dongping, and other places, guard Shandong and constrain the land of Dou Jiande, Hebei. If we abandoned our son, the Central Plains, and rebel, we will take all the land of Shandong and Hebei, and make a comeback."

"How did this make it?" Zhai Rang finally spoke, "We have been aligned with Xu Yuanlang, Dou Jiande and others. It seems that it is not kind to acquire their territory?"

Zhai Rang spoke, and Bing Yuanzhen, Wang Ruxin and others actually nodded. Li Mi smiled and said, "Why don't you know what Xuanzao's second path is?"

"The second road is to go down the canal, take all the lands of Jianghuai, and attack Jiangdu. If you can take down Jiangdu, capture the dog emperor Yang Guang, and temporarily cut the river and manage it, it will be a strategy."

Zhai Hong shouted, "What a bullshit idea? We are doing well in Wagang. Why do we have to go to the south? I don't agree with this idea!"

Although Zhai Hong was reckless, this time he expressed the thoughts of most people. Everyone was robbing in Henan, and they were deeply rooted and did not want to stay away from it.

When Li Mi saw everyone objecting, he coughed a few times. He thought that Fang Xuanzao's plan sounded beautiful, but he didn't consider the nature of Wagang people, which was the same as the reason why these people refused to go to Xijing when they first went to Dongdu to take the capital.

The fallen leaves return to their roots, no matter what, it is a huge problem to leave these people behind. In fact, not only Wagang people, but even Li Mi doesn't want to give up on the Central Plains and is ridiculed. Now that the power is so strong, he will still be defeated. What's the use of making a comeback?

But when I saw the expressions of everyone, I was shocked and thought that the Wagang people were defeated by Xiao Buyi one after another, and they had long been afraid of Xiao Buyi. Could it be that I was so pessimistic that I still couldn't hold on to this Luokou Cang after all?

Trying to get rid of this pessimistic atmosphere, Li Mi said calmly: "What Xuanzao said makes sense, but now... he still needs to make a long-term plan."

Everyone was silent, and a commander suddenly whispered outside the room: "Duke Wei, there is an emergency military report from Wagang!"

The Wagang crowd was slightly shocked, and the commander had already submitted the general's written letter. Fang Xuanzao took it and wanted to hand it to Li Mi, but Li Mi waved his hand to let him read it out. Fang Xuanzao opened his eyes and changed his face slightly: "The Sui army attacked Wagang Village, broke through three villages in a row. Hao Xiaode and Wang Dangren resisted desperately, and then he retreated to the Sui army. Wang Dangren was afraid that the Sui army would commit another crime and asked Duke Wei for support."

Everyone was making a loud noise and talking. Zhai Rang couldn't sit still and asked hurriedly: "How about Wushuang?" It turned out that Zhai Rang's will was not strong, and Li Mi's business was getting bigger and bigger. Zhai Rang was in a loss. He wanted to turn Wagang several times, but he felt that it was more comfortable to drill into the deep mountains than living in this big house. But he saw that Li Mi was in full swing, plundering countless jewelry and regretting, so he turned around several times. But after all, he was worried about his daughter, so he let Zhai Wushuang stay in Wagang. He thought that Wagang was just surrounded by mountains, but he did not occupy any geographical advantage. He thought that the Sui army had no time to take care of himself, and of course he had no leisure to fight Wagang. At this moment, he heard that the Sui army attacked Wagang, which was more shocking than the Sui army attacking Jindi Pass.

Fang Xuanzao glanced at the letter and shook his head and said, "Miss is fine."

Zhai Rang let go of his worries and frowned and said, "Duke Wei, I want to bring some troops back to Wagang in a few days. I wonder what Mr. Wei wants to do?"

Li Mi frowned and said in a flash: "It should be like this. In a few days, I will order all my troops to let the village leader turn back to Wagang to see." Zhai Rang recommended Li Mi as the leader. He gave Li Mi the title of Duke Wei. After Li Mi ascended the throne, he appointed Zhai Rang as the Shangzhu Kingdom and Duke Dongjun. His elder brother Zhai Hong was also named Duke Xingyang. However, Li Mi was still used to respecting Zhai Rang as the leader of the village. On the one hand, he showed closeness, and on the other hand, it meant that he did not dare to forget his roots.

Zhai Rang felt relieved, nodded, and took a group of subordinates out of Li Mi's mansion first. It was originally full of people. A small half of them went there in a flash.

When the rest of the people saw Zhai Rang leaving, they also said goodbye one after another. Everyone was discussing the attack on Jindi Pass, but they were all in a good mood. They rarely came up with any ideas. When they left, Li Mi realized that the team was dispersed in a mess. She sighed.

Everyone left, and Fang Xuanzao, Wang Bodang and Cai Jiande were left in the room. The three of them all looked angry, obviously dissatisfied with the performance of Wagang.

Li Mi glanced at the three of them, and a desolate feeling suddenly surged in her heart. She thought to herself that when she first arrived in Wagang, these three people followed her. Unexpectedly, after more than a year, they were all the people who could trust.

"Duke Wei. I think Zhai Rang, Zhai Hong is not enough to make a mistake. Once they leave, they are afraid that half of the troops will be taken away by them. It is better to get rid of them and eliminate future troubles." Wang Bodang said in a deep voice.

Li Mi remained silent, and Cai Jiande also said, "Duke Wei, I heard that after Wang Ruxin turned around, he asked Zhai Rang to be the general manager, and wanted to deprive you of his rights. Wang Ruxin was originally captured, but was released by Li Jing. I am afraid that they have reached some agreement. I also heard that although Zhai Rang did not agree, Zhai Hong said that the emperor should be his own brothers. If Zhai Rang did not become the emperor, then let him Zhai Hong be the emperor."

Li Mi snorted coldly, "He doesn't even look at his weight. Xuan Zao, what suggestions do you have?"

Fang Xuanzao smiled bitterly and said, "Duke Wei, I find that the four words greed are used on Zhai Rang. Zhai Hongdi is really suitable. Although Zhai Rang does not value power, he is extremely greedy for money. Some days ago, Cui Shishu, the general manager of Yanling, came to join him, but he imprisoned others and tortured them every day for money. Moreover, he often likes to gambling and never likes to lose money. The Marshal's Mansion Record Office did not come to gambling, and he actually blamed Jing Yiji for eighty sticks. Many of the newcomers in Wagang were blackmailed by Zhai Rangdi. He actually told me that when I captured Runan, I took a lot of jewelry, but they were all for Wei. He asked me and threatened me that Wei Duke was also here to support him. No one could tell me that I followed the instructions of Wei Duke and tried my best to restrain those jewelry. Those jewelry were originally used for equipment for the rebel army, so where would there be money for him?"

The three of you said, and I was so angry. Wang Bo was drawn out to chop it on the table and said coldly: "Duke Wei, if you are not convenient to take action, I will kill Zhai Rang. The inner army has our loyal and righteous people. Just find dozens of people to take action, and Guan Bao will do it cleanly. Zhai Rang, Zhai Hong, and Wang Ruxin are the leaders and only kill three people, which has nothing to do with the overall situation."

Li Mi was angry, but when she heard this, she waved her hand and said, "What's the difference between your actions and my actions? Now that Wagang's morale is low, we should work together. If we kill them, the Sui army will attack you, but they are afraid that others will be afraid of them and leave in a flash. Luokoucang may not be able to defend it, it is really not worth the loss."

"But can you just let them make trouble?" all three asked.

Li Mi sighed softly, "Li Jing deliberately let Wang Ruxin go, just deliberately provoking our relationship with Zhai Rang, how could he fall into his treacherous plan? Zhai Rang left just right, if he brought his confidant back to Wagang, I can see clearly which loyal one from now on. We have done our best, and it will not be so easy for him to turn around next time. After going to Zhai Rang, we were rid of the cancer in Wagang, but we can work together to fight against the Sui army. As long as we design to defeat Wang Shichong and Zhang Zhenzhou and the other two, we don't have to go far, so we can make great achievements! Don't be reckless, even if I apologize to the three of you on their behalf, okay?" As soon as he said this, the three of them knelt down and said, "Since Mr. Wei gave such an order, there is absolutely no reason to violate it."

Li Mi sighed and touched the wound on her waist. A resentment flashed in her eyes and said, "Xiao Buyi, I will definitely repay you for this revenge of arrows."

While Li Mi and Fang Xuanzao and others were discussing, Zhai Hong also discussed with Zhai Rang in the room. There was also a Wang Ruxin beside the two brothers, and the three of them were also locked in their brows.

Fang Xuanzao and the others looked angry, and Zhai Hong also looked angry, "Brother, this Wagang was originally yours. Who is Li Mi? He shouted in front of us?"

"I only saw you screaming." Zhai Rang said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, how many times have I told you not to have conflicts with Mr. Wei. We seek wealth but not angry. Mr. Wei's martial arts are not bad. If you want to kill you, ten of them would have been cut by him."

Zhai Hong snorted coldly: "That may not be."

When Wang Ruxin saw the two brothers arguing, he hurriedly explained: "Why should the two leaders hurt the harmony for outsiders? The village leader. What I told you... what are you thinking about?"

As soon as he said that, Zhai Rang changed color slightly, looked at Zhai Hong and said, "Brother, you go back and rest."

Zhai Hong stood up angrily. "I think outsiders are more close to you than your elder brother!"

He walked out of Zhai Rang's room angrily. Zhai Rang had already left his left and left, but he still stood up and checked around. He was sure that no one closed the door and said in a deep voice: "Ru Xin, do you think Li Jing is trustworthy?"

Wang Ruxin sighed lightly: "No matter what, it is more trustworthy than Li Mi. The leader of the village, Li Jing let me go back and say it. Xiao Buyi has already put aside his words. As long as we are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, we will definitely spare us and not kill us. Xiao Buyi is quite kind and righteous. When he broke the Wagang last time, he asked Xu Shiji to escort us, but he actually wanted to let us go. It's ridiculous that we don't know his painstaking efforts, but instead trust Li Mi and lead the wolf into the house. It's really a pity."

Zhai Rang's face was gloomy, "But after all, we have no close relationship with Xiao Buyi. We have been stealing for a long time, but we are really a thorn in the Sui Dynasty. With just one word from Li Jing, I can't feel at ease after all."

Wang Ruxin laughed, "The leader of the village is really worried. In fact, Xiao Buyi's thorn in his eyes is Li Mi. He not only let us go, but also let Wushuang and Mo Sheng, who were assassinated. With this action, we surrendered to him. How could he be unfavorable to us? Don't say that he is promoted, there are always some rewards. If you can reach Dongdu and rely on our current money, you will not be comfortable to live your life? The leader of the village, you have said that you don't want to be the emperor, so what should you do with Li Mi?

?Even if he conquers the world, he will be the emperor. You can only see that he only values ​​outsiders and excludes the old man Wagang. If he conquers the world, he may not kill us. Besides, even if you can't believe in Xiao Buyi, Xu Shiji is now in Xiangyang, and Xiao Buyi is highly valued. With him, are you still afraid that Xiao Buyi will harm you?" Zhai Rang's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "Ru Xin said very well, but I forgot that there is still Shiji. Is my idea of ​​turning back to Wagang?"

Wang Ruxin frowned and said, "If the village leader wants to surrender to Xiao Buyi, why should he go back to Wagang first?"

Zhai Rang smiled bitterly and said, "Ru Xin, you don't know anything. I am really a little scared of this Li Mi. This man is very skilled in martial arts and his subordinates, do you know why he has been reluctant to kill me?"

Wang Ruxin said in a deep voice: "I'm just afraid that he is buying people's hearts. After all, Wagang was created by the village leader. If he dares to kill you, Wagang will fall apart in an instant."

Zhai Rang nodded and said, "Ru Xin, you say the same as I think, but this person's patience is limited after all. Zhai Hong doesn't understand the truth, so he contradicts me so much that I really anxious! I would rather be heartbroken at you than tell him this. Now half of the Wagang people follow Li Mi, 30% are still watching, but our close friends are only less than 20%. If they turn against each other, they will be killed by him. Fortunately, Li Jing attacks Wagang and gives me an excuse to turn Wagang back on it."

Wang Ruxin suddenly said: "It turns out that the main village of Wagang had already had the idea of ​​surrendering to Xiao Buyi, which made me worry for a while."

Zhai Rang smiled with an old face, "Ru Xin, I have been thinking about it for a long time. If I go to Dongdu rashly, the first thing is to be too abrupt. I am afraid that the city soldiers will be killed first. Secondly, we will not be able to reveal our identity. The most important thing is that if Li Mi knew that if he sent troops to chase him, we would not be able to resist it. So we first use the excuse to turn back to Wagang and then go to Liyang!"

Wang Ruxin slapped his thigh and said, "The master of the village is a clever idea, I feel ashamed of myself. What you said is that Wagang is closest to Liyang. As long as we arrive at Liyang, with Li Jing's protection, why not be afraid of Li Mi!"

Zhai Rang sighed lightly: "Ru Xin, this time it is related to our lives. Don't disclose the news. Even if Zhai Hong, you and my plans, you cannot let him know."

Wang Ruxin nodded repeatedly and agreed, and the two buried their heads in the same place, and began to discuss the details of the surrender again...

In order to be safe, Zhai Rang simply concealed his elder brother, for fear that Zhai Hong would leak the news and implicate them. When Zhai Hong saw his brother discussing with outsiders, he obviously did not take his elder brother as a heart and walked out with resentment.

When he was turning back to the mansion, he called two women to accompany him and then started drinking.

He was very irritable, except for his big temper, the rest could be said to be of no strength. The old ministers in Wagang land were all for Zhai Rang land and made him a fight. The newly surrendered Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao, Wang Junguo and others didn't even look at him directly. In the Wagang village, there is no such thing as the local people except Shan Xiongxin and Jia Xiong.

When they were drunk, Zhai Hong felt bored and waved his hand to ask his subordinates to find Shan Xiongxin. Jia Xiong came. His subordinates hurriedly left. After a long time, they turned around and said with a bitter face: "Zhai Dangjia, General Shan and Jia Xiong are not in the mansion." Now, Luokoucang is the foundation, and the heavy generals of the Wagang Army gather in Luokou. Li Mi and others are resting in Luokou City. Pay close attention to the movements of the Sui army on the other side of the Luoshui River, and echo the Luokoucang. Zhai Hong was bored, but he was afraid that he would not have his own share of the spoils. So he stayed in Luokou with his brother.

All these days, I was almost crazy. When I heard my subordinates say that I couldn’t find the order, Jia and the others slapped them in the face. "Can they still fly to the sky? Keep looking for it!"

The subordinates rushed out with their faces covering their faces. The more Zhai Hong drank, the less smelled. At this time, they came down to report, "Zhai Dangjia, Jia Runfu asked for a meeting."

Zhai Hongzui was so powerful that he thought for a while but couldn't figure out who Jia Runfu was. His subordinates could only remind him: "He was the one who surrendered with Pei Renji, and he was a side general under Pei Renji."

"What did he come to me for?" Zhai Hongda was surprised. If Jia Runfu had seen him a few times in addition to Shan Xiongxin and Jia Xiong, he knew that he was kind and respectful to him. Just as he was worried that he had no companion for drinking, Zhai Hong waved his hand and said, "Let him in."

When Jia Runfu saw Zhai Hong drunk, he frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Duke Xingyang, I have been surrendering for so long and have never come to visit him. It's really rude."

Zhai Hong was somewhat happy when he was called by the Duke of Xingyang and said, "Sit down and drink with me."

He forced a wine glass to come over, and Jia Runfu couldn't help but frown. He had a deep meaning when he came here, and wanted to make friends with Zhai Hongpan, but he didn't expect that Zhai Hongzui was no longer like that. He wanted to get up, but Zhai Hong grabbed him, "Why, I look down on me?"

Jia Runfu could only smile and said, "How dare you, how dare you?"

"Then let's have a drink." Zhai Hong said carelessly.

Jia Runfu had no choice but to take the wine glass, drink it and say, "Duke Xingyang..."

Zhai Hong raised his thumb and continued, "Another cup." He went over to him, and saw Jia Runfu being unspeakable. Jia Runfu had no choice but to accompany Zhai Hong with cups.

Zhai Hong was already drunk. After drinking a few cups, his tongue almost reached out and put his hands on Jia Runfu's shoulder. Zhai Hong said mysteriously: "Runfu, if I leave one day, will you be with me or Li Mi?"

Jia Runfu looked around and smiled and said, "Actually, it's very clear that I'm here today."

Zhai Hongda was excited and said, "Good brother... I'll tell you a secret..." But at this time, his thinking and movements were completely disconnected. He opened his mouth twice and lay down on the sky.

"Duke Xingyang?" Jia Runfu pushed Zhai Hong twice. Seeing that he was sleeping like a dead pig, he couldn't help but shake his head and frown. He found his servant to help Zhai Hong to rest, and left quietly. He was cracked and his mouth was dry and he was just thinking about drinking water. Suddenly he felt the water dripping on his face, so he wanted to open his mouth. Suddenly he felt something blocked in his mouth and was stenched. After a few whimpering sounds, Zhai Hong almost started to scream, just because he silently discovered a dark place. Looking up, he could see the stars and moon, and green sparks were floating everywhere, like a dark hell.

Zhai Hong wanted to scream, but his mouth was stuffed with soft rags, his hands and feet were tied up, and there was cold soil under his body. Zhai Rang almost thought that he was dreaming, and it was an extremely terrible nightmare. But he found out in a flash that was a living reality, because his hands and feet were hurting.

"Awaken?" asked a gloomy voice.

"Wake up." A more gloomy voice replied.

A flash of light flashed in the air in a flash, and a single knife was already on Zhai Hongdi's neck.

Zhai Hong struggled hard, with a whimpering sound in his mouth, but his eyes showed a pleading look. I don’t know why he ended up like this.

A man was covered with a black scarf on his face, and only a pair of shining eyes were revealed. He said coldly: "We will not hurt our lives for money, we will only ask you where the money is. Don't shout, otherwise, my knife will not forgive you!"

Zhai Hong nodded with all his strength. The man reached out and took out the rag that was stuffed into Zhai Hong's mouth and lowered his voice, "Where is the money you have plundered?"

Zhai Hong hesitated, and the man stabbed him and had already stabbed his neck. Zhai Hong screamed without waiting, and was covered by another person's mouth. The two of them were quick and seemed to be specifically trying to force confession to make a living.

"If you dare to shout, I will kill you!" The man who covered Zhai Hong's mouth said coldly. Seeing Zhai Hong nodding, he let go of his hand, "Where are the money you plundered?"

"We have all been transported to Wagang Village." Zhai Hong said with a bitter face: "Two masters, I actually have some rooms. If you like it, just take them."

His eyes were circling, and he was obviously not saying the truth. The man holding the knife snorted coldly, "Tell me another lie, I will chop off your hands. Cui Shishu was tortured by you and handed over at least a few hundred taels of gold. This is just a matter of recent times. How could you have time to transport the gold to Wagang Village?"
Chapter completed!
