Shan Xiongxin's troops were stationed in Dongda camp. He had not stopped since he set up camp. He had been leading the army and law soldiers to arrest the fugitives. He personally took action to arrest Li Wenhui. However, it was said that he was doing it to defeat Wang Bodang.

He gave Li Wenhui to Li Mi because of his shame, which was a bit unfair to him.

The overt and covert struggle between Shan Xiongxin and Wang Bodang has long been an open secret in the entire army. The reason is very simple. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain.

Wang Bodang was Li Mi's foster brother and apprentice. He had followed Li Mi since he was a child. In terms of friendship with Li Mi, no one in the world could compare with him. Even Yang Xuangan's friendship was slightly inferior.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Wang Bodang to be appointed to such a high position as General Zuotunwei, and he was also granted the title of Prince of Yuhang County.

Shan Xiongxin had strong qualifications in the Wagang Army and high prestige in the army. In addition, he supported Li Mi at critical moments several times and made great contributions to the founding of the Wei State. He was rewarded based on his merits, and he was named.

General Youtunwei was granted the title of Prince of Liyang County.

Both of them are county kings, but they are superior in official positions. They are both generals of the garrison. But on the left and right, Wang Bodang is slightly higher than Shan Xiongxin by half. This is actually a trust level.

the difference.

But just because he was half a step ahead, Shan Xiongxin was reduced to the third most powerful person in the Wei Dynasty, which made him extremely dissatisfied. Thinking back then, even Yang Yuanqing called him second brother. What achievements did Wang Bodang have?

?Climbed onto Shan Xiongxin’s head.

Not to mention his achievements, Wang Bodang has not even been held responsible for the loss of Luokou City.

Although Shan Xiong is extremely dissatisfied with his confidence, he also understands that now is not the time for internal fighting, but must work together to overcome difficulties.

Shan Xiongxin handed Li Wenhui over to Li Mi, which had nothing to do with the personal grudge between him and Wang Bodang, but because he could not decide whether to kill Li Wenhui, so Shan Xiongxin handed him over to Li Mi.

Shan Xiongxin was also in an extremely heavy mood. He was a general who had fought hundreds of battles and had extremely rich war experience. Judging from the situation in front of him, Li Mi was completely restrained by the Sui army.

The Sui army occupied Jiangdu City and Jiangyangcang and stood still, like fishermen sitting on the Diaoyutai, waiting for the Wei army to fall into the trap. The two armies of Xiao Xian and Du Ruhui were like two ospreys, one on the left and one on the right driving away the fish.

Access the network.

The Wei army is in confusion and has low morale. Shan Xiong is confident that he has little chance of winning this battle. He is full of confusion about the future...

At this time, a soldier walked forward quickly and whispered a few words in Shan Xiongxin's ear. Shan Xiongxin frowned and said, "Let him in!"

After a while, two soldiers walked into the tent with a thin officer. This man was none other than General Liu Shun'er, who had brought a letter from Jiangdu to the officers.

Shan Xiongxin also knew this person. In the eighth year of Daye, Liu Shun'er led a band of 500 people to defect to the Wagang Army. However, he should be in Jiangdu City now. How could he appear in the military camp?

"Liu Shun'er, a humble official, meets General Shan!" Liu Shun'er knelt down on one knee and saluted.

Shan Xiongxin glanced at him coldly, "Aren't you in Jiangdu City? When did you enter the military camp?"

Liu Shuner took out a letter from his arms and presented it with both hands, "This is a personal letter from His Highness the King of Chu to General Shan."

Shan Xiongxin was startled, his eyes as wide as bells, "The King of Chu is in Jiangdu?"

"Yes, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is currently in Jiangdu."

Shan Xiongxin's eyes were extremely serious. He waved his hand to the soldiers. "You all go down and guard. No one is allowed to come near."

The soldiers retreated, leaving only Shan Xiongxin and Liu Shun'er in the tent. Shan Xiongxin never imagined that Yang Yuanqing was actually in Jiangdu. What does this mean? Shan Xiongxin didn't dare to think about it anymore.

He slowly opened Yang Yuanqing's letter. This was Yang Yuanqing's third handwritten letter to him. There was only a simple sentence in the letter, 'The general trend of the world has been decided. Will my second brother help Yuan Qing to bring peace to the world?'

Yang Yuanqing actually called him second brother, which made Shan Xiongxin think of the distant past and Yang Yuanqing's kindness to him, but he never reciprocated it. Shan Xiongxin couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

At this moment, the voice of a soldier came from outside the tent, "Mr. Fang, the general has something to do, and it is not convenient to report it."

This was Fang Xuanzao's arrival. Shan Xiongxin quickly winked at Liu Shun'er and glanced at the inner tent. Liu Shun'er understood and got up and entered the inner tent. Shan Xiongxin walked to the door of the tent and said with a smile: "Mr. Fang, it's so late.

Aren’t you going to rest yet?”

Fang Xuanzao sighed, "I feel upset and can't sleep. I have something I want to discuss with the general. Is it convenient for the general?"

Having said this, Fang Xuanzao took a meaningful look inside the tent. Seeing that he was suspicious, Shan Xiongxin said calmly: "It's nothing, she's just a woman. If it's a small matter, we can come into the tent to talk about it. If it's a big matter, we can

It’s better to go to the deputy accountant.[.”

Fang Xuanzao didn't ask much if she was really a woman, but smiled and said: "The matter is very important, we might as well go to the deputy accountant!"

Shan Xiongxin nodded and waved his hand, "Mr. Fang, please!"

"please!"

The two came to the deputy tent, and the guests and hosts took their seats. Fang Xuanzao said with a somewhat sad expression: "The general should also be aware of the current situation, so I won't say more. Today I persuade the Holy One to take advantage of the emptiness of the Central Plains to fight back to the Central Plains.

, capture Luoyang, and join forces with the Tang Dynasty to fight against the Sui Dynasty, this is the only feasible solution now, but the Holy Emperor is indecisive and can't make up his mind, which makes me very anxious."

"Maybe he needs to think about it for a night. After all, it's a big deal."

"But... our food can only last for two days now. If we don't leave overnight, I'm worried that we will run out of food before we reach the Central Plains." Fang Xuanzao said with great worry.

This news shocked Shan Xiongxin and left him speechless for a while. Cold sweat began to break out on his forehead. "Is it really true that there are only two days of food left?" Shan Xiongxin couldn't calm down anymore.

Fang Xuanzao nodded silently and said sadly: "Without the support of Jiangyangcang, how long does the general think we can support the 180,000-strong army?"

Shan Xiongxin couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and said: "I will go to see the Holy Lord now. Either I will rush to Jiangdu immediately and fight to the death, or I will go north overnight and rush to Luoyang. In short, I must make a decision."

"This is why I asked the general. We must make a decision."

.......

Shan Xiongxin hurried to the commander's tent. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the commander's tent, a guard happened to come out. When he saw him, he immediately loudly reported, "Your Majesty, General Shan is here."

"Order him to come in!"

Li Mi's voice came from the big tent, and it was a bit cold, which made Shan Xiong feel a little uneasy. He knew Li Mi, and Li Mi would only have this tone when he was extremely angry. What happened?

He walked into the handsome tent quite uneasily. As soon as he entered the big tent, he saw Wang Bodang. Staring at him with vicious eyes, Shan Xiongxin suddenly understood that this must be what Wang Bodang said about him.

The bad words made Li Mi angry.

Wang Bodang really wanted to kill Shan Xiongxin at this time. He and Shan Xiongxin had been in conflict for a long time, but they usually tolerated each other, and with Li Mi's mediation, they could still get along. However, this time in the battle to conquer the west, two things happened in succession.

.The conflict between them completely broke out.

One incident was that Wang Bodang's 10,000 rear army was completely wiped out by Du Fuwei. At that time, Li Mi's deployment was that the two armies responded to each other and supported each other, so Wang Bodang felt free to pursue Xiao Mian.

Unexpectedly, Shan Xiongxin arrived late to rescue, causing the entire 10,000-strong rear army to be annihilated. Wang Bodang believed that Shan Xiongxin arrived late on purpose, or even deliberately let Du Fuwei's army go, otherwise it would not have been such a coincidence.

Another thing is that Li Wenhui escaped. Li Wenhui was Wang Bodang's most beloved general. Wang Bodang actually knew that Li Wenhui was going to escape, and he was out of filial piety. He deliberately pretended not to know.

I still didn’t expect that Li Wenhui was caught by Shan Xiongxin. According to ordinary human ethics, Shan Xiongxin should hand Li Wenhui over to him and let Wang Bodang punish him.

But Shan Xiongxin handed Li Wenhui directly to Li Mi, resulting in Li Wenhui's tragic death. This was a loud slap to Wang Bodang, and Wang Bodang finally couldn't bear it anymore. Just now, Wang Bodang finally caught him

Shan Xiongxin immediately came to complain.

Shan Xiongxin stepped forward quickly and knelt down on one knee: "Shan Xiongxin comes to see His Majesty!"

"General Shan, what's the matter with you coming to see me so late?" Li Mi asked coldly.

Li Mi's cold tone made Shan Xiongxin feel a little bad, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is about Mr. Fang's suggestion to transfer to the Central Plains. I feel that Your Majesty can give it careful consideration..."

Before Shan Xiongxin could finish speaking, Li Mi interrupted him, "I will consider this matter myself and don't need you to persuade me, but I have another thing to ask you. When are you going to go to Jiangdu to seek refuge with Yang Yuanqing?"

?”

Shan Xiongxin heard "Boom!" in his head. What he was most worried about happened and he finally couldn't hide it from Li Mi. At this time, his mind went blank and he didn't know how to explain it.

Li Mi also just learned that Yang Yuanqing was in Jiangdu. This shocked him extremely and started to panic in his heart. However, no matter his shock or panic, it was not as powerful as the impact of Wang Bodang telling him another news. Shan Xiongxin

There is a secret collusion with Yang Yuanqing.

Li Mi has never been a broad-minded person. After he eradicated Zhai Rang, he purged a large number of Zhai Rang's confidants. In his purge list, Shan Xiongxin was ranked first, just because Shan Xiongxin was helpful to him in stabilizing the situation.

Da Yong also supported him very much, which is why Li Mi tolerated him until now.

But re-employment does not mean that Li Mi trusts Shan Xiongxin. In fact, he has been wary of Shan Xiongxin and placed eyes and ears among Shan Xiongxin's soldiers. Today, when the situation is unfavorable, Shan Xiongxin finally reveals his true side, which makes Li Mi's heart

A murderous act.

"You won't say that there is no such thing! Didn't Yang Yuanqing come to you or send you any letter?"

Shan Xiongxin sighed, "Yang Yuanqing wrote two letters to Beizhi, urging him to surrender, but Beizhi has refused. Beizhi's brother is a subordinate of the Sui Dynasty. He will never serve the Sui Dynasty again. Please tell me!"

"Okay, show me the letter." Li Mi extended his hand to him.

Shan Xiongxin shook his head, "Both letters were burned. Because I have no intention of surrendering to him, I will not keep them."

"What about tonight's letter?"

Next to him, Wang Bodang sneered, "General Shan won't tell you that tonight's letter will also be burned!"

After saying that, Uncle Wang waved his hand and said, "Bring him up."

Several guards arrested a man, Liu Shun'er. He knelt on the ground dejectedly. Shan Xiongxin was immediately furious. Wang Bodang dared to arrest someone in his tent.

"Wang Bodang, you have gone too far!" Shan Xiongxin pointed at Wang Bodang and yelled angrily.

"Be bold!"

Li Mi's face was livid with anger, and he shouted angrily, "Shan Xiongxin, do you still dare to deny it now?"
