Chapter 1050: Li Mi's Conspiracy
"Okay, that's a good idea." Shi Dakai laughed and admired Wei Changhui, he quietly came to Wei Changhui's side, and when Wei Changhui was not paying attention, he suddenly stabbed Wei Changhui to death, and then shouted: "I really didn't expect you to be disloyal to the lord, I, Shi Dakai, would rather die in battle than be in the same league with you." ”
Then Shi Dakai slowly walked towards Hong Xiuquan and said to him: "Don't panic, lord, I will guarantee you to fight your way out of the encirclement, we are not hopeless, and we can also take refuge in Song Gongming."
However, unexpectedly, Hong Xiuquan's face suddenly changed, and he pointed at Shi Dakai and said, "You, don't come here, Shi Dakai?" How do I know if you mean good or bad to me? If you give me a sudden attack like you did with Wei Changhui, wouldn't I be killed by you as well? Go yourself, I'd rather die here than be killed by my former good brothers! ”
"Lord, you, what did you say? General Mo is loyal to you and has never changed in the slightest, how can you doubt the last general? Shi Dakai's face also changed greatly, and he hurriedly defended.
"Hey, what's loyal? Which one of Yang Xiuqing or Wei Changhui is not loyal to me? But who cares about this at the moment of life and death? Didn't you think of me as a bargaining chip to get Li Zicheng's forgiveness? This is the way the human heart is, do you want me to believe you? Lao Shi, I think we used to be brothers, please, don't care about me anymore, go by yourself. ”
Hong Xiuquan waved his hand, only to see the remaining young generals in the army, Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng, blocking in front of him, and said to Shi Dakai: "General Shi, don't make it difficult for the last general. ”
"Alas, in this case, the lord cherishes it, and the end will go." Shi Dakai sighed and led more than 500 soldiers under his command to break through, but he didn't go far, he encountered the stubborn resistance of Li Yan, a fierce general under Li Zicheng, and the soldiers under his command suffered heavy casualties.
However, Li Yan knew that Shi Dakai was loyal to Hong Xiuquan, and it was almost impossible to make him completely reconciled, so although he agreed to his request, he did not let him go after all, and finally killed him and his generals.
At the same time, most of the leaders who joined Hong Xiuquan's camp died, Sun En and Lu Xun committed suicide, Yang Mo and Chen Shuozhen were assassinated by their generals, Zhong Xiang, Wu Yi, and Xu Hongru were killed, only Hou Jing and Yang Xuangan preserved their strength, and they saw through the situation and surrendered directly to Li Mi, and they actually saved their lives, and they still commanded the old department.
As the leader of this army, Hong Xiuquan finally saw this scene, refused to surrender, vomited three liters of blood, and finally died like this.
"Haha, the victory in this battle is all thanks to the brave fighting of all the soldiers, especially Brother Zhai Rang, if it weren't for you leading your troops to surrender at the critical moment, stabilizing the hearts of our army, and recommending Li Xuandi, how could our army be today? Brother Zhai, please accept my Li Zicheng's worship, from now on you are my righteous brother, we share blessings and hardships, you are the deputy commander of my army, the second master, everyone sees you as if they see me, if there is the slightest disrespect, I will not rest with it. ”
Then Li Zicheng saluted Zhai Rang respectfully, and at the same time asked his soldiers to salute Zhai Rang.
Zhai Rang originally wanted to make himself the supreme leader by defeating Hong Xiuquan's prestige, but he didn't expect the other party to come out like this, but Zhai Rang's ambition was not big, and his character was a little cowardly, so in his opinion, even if he couldn't be feuded by the country, it was nothing, even if he was enshrined in Yizhou, it was a good result, after all, Yizhou was rich in products, and he could enjoy wealth and nobility immediately when he got there.
So Zhai Rang just humbled himself, and then quite calmly accepted everyone's salute and accepted his current status.
Li Zicheng then also praised Li Mi and appointed Li Mi as a military advisor, but he reduced his military power, not to mention the position of deputy marshal.
"Hmph, this is to cook rabbits and dead dogs, and the birds are all hidden? But it's not that simple, I've been planning for so long, how can I just give up? ”
Li Mi sneered in his heart, when he took Zhai Rang to the army, he quietly persuaded Zhai Rang to launch a surprise attack on Li Zicheng, so that he would definitely be able to kill Li Zicheng, annex his subordinates, and at the same time seize the qualification to dissolve the feudal state.
However, Zhai Rang was no longer interested in the feudal kingdom, so he didn't think much of Li Mi's words, but reprimanded Li Mi with a straight face, asking him to follow the rules and not use his brains.
Li Mi was reprimanded, and his heart was even more angry, he sincerely admitted his mistake on the surface, and at the same time proposed to Zhai Rang to lead the army to stay behind to collect the bodies of the victims, especially the corpses of the brothers in the army, Zhai Rang thought that Li Mi was kind-hearted, and his heart was very happy, so he agreed, and then made a request to Li Zicheng to go one step later and bury the bodies for the fallen soldiers.
Li Zicheng was also very happy to hear this, he was now eager to go back to the Han Dynasty to show his merits to the Son of Heaven and compete for the qualification to seal the country, and Zhai Rang suddenly did not go, which made him reduce an opponent who could threaten him, and he couldn't ask for it, so he led the army to leave, leaving Zhai Rang's army to collect the corpse.
After Li Zicheng left, Zhai Rang convened the generals to discuss the matter, but he didn't expect that at this moment, Li Mi, who secretly summoned Wang Bodang, You Junda, Hou Jing and Yang Xuanshui's henchmen, suddenly shot at Zhai Rang, Zhai Rang was caught off guard, was cut in the carotid artery, blood spurted out like a fountain, and he couldn't see it alive.
"You, why are you?" Zhai Rang looked at Li Mi with a face full of disbelief, shed tears seriously, and said with difficulty.
Li Mi knelt on the ground, whimpered and said: "Big brother, please forgive my brother for being rude, if it was just a matter of the two of us, the younger brother would definitely defend you even if he died, but you want to collude with foreign enemies and give Li Zicheng the military power in your hand, do you know that doing so is really equivalent to handing over the lives of your brothers to him?" We are all outsiders, even if we are loyal to him, we will definitely not be tolerated by him, just now you also saw that the younger brother has made such a contribution to him, but how cold is he to me? Therefore, the younger brother would rather be scolded by the people of the world, and for the sake of his brothers, he can only kill you ruthlessly, and then find a way out for the brothers."
Li Mi killed Zhai Rang on the charge of colluding with foreign enemies and wanting to give up military power to Li Zicheng, and then took advantage of Zhai Rang's questioning to talk non-stop, so that Zhai Rang didn't even have time to interject, and after he finished speaking, Zhai Rang had already died of excessive blood loss
"Second brother (second uncle) (lord)" After seeing Li Mi kill Zhai Rang, Zhai Rang's brother Zhai Hong, nephew Zhai Mohou and the captain of the personal army Wang Ruxinju were shocked, and then prepared to kill Li Mi to avenge Zhai Rang, but were killed by Wang Bodang and You Junda on the spot.
