Li Jiancheng read the Rongyang war report sent by Tanma, and now besieging Rongyang is Li Mi's two generals Wang Bodang and Shan Xiongxin, Wang Bodang is also Li Mi's most important student and confidant, loyal to Li Mi all his life, his nickname is called the white-clothed arrow, one-handed archery is unparalleled in the world, Li Mi recruited the archery experts in the army into a magic arrow battalion, led by him, as his own guards, and he is not sent to use it at all, Shan Xiongxin led the infantry as Wang Bodang's guard, this time in order to besiege Rongyang, revenge was defeated by Xu Shiji at the beginning, Li Mi really made a bloody investment. And now Li Mi's rebels have a total of 250,000, and there are 80,000 besieging Rongyang alone, and Li Jiancheng has only 4,000 men and horses in Hou Junji's hands plus his own personal soldiers, and 4,000 people are used to attack 80,000, I'm afraid it's not enough for others to race their teeth! What to do? What to do? Li Jiancheng couldn't think of a way after thinking about it. Distraught, he casually picked up his favorite Three Kingdoms and looked at it. Since crossing to the Sui Dynasty, Li Jiancheng has no entertainment, reading is one of his entertainment, when reading to the Eastern Han Dynasty Shaodi period, Dong Zhuo took advantage of the rebellion of the Han Court Ten Standing Servants, entered Luoyang, abolished the Young Emperor, set up the emperor, and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes This paragraph, suddenly had an inspiration in his heart, the novelist Luo Guanzhong at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty wrote the Romance of the Three Kingdoms again, when Dong Zhuo first entered Luoyang, there were only 3,000 soldiers and horses, and at that time Luoyang's left and right Yulin army was as many as more than 200,000 people, in order to confuse the ministers and people of Luoyang, From the very beginning, Dong Zhuo ordered his army to quietly slip out of the city every four or five nights, and then march into Luoyang the next morning. All the people of Luoyang, including the officials of the imperial court, were intimidated by Dong Zhuo's strong strength and did not dare to have the slightest deviance. Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng hurriedly put on his regular court clothes and entered the palace to meet Yang Guang secretly.

"Hmmm! Li Jiancheng, if you are really sure about this matter, you can do it! I will assist you. Yang Guang nodded after listening to Li Jiancheng's strategy. Early the next morning, a messenger on a fast horse came from outside the north gate of Luoyang, and he rode on his horse and shouted all the way:

"Good news, good news, General Shixiong defeated Dou Jiande, good news, good news! General Shixiong defeated Dou Jiande, good news, good news! He shouted all the way and drove all the way to the Luoyang Palace. Yang Guang was very happy when he saw the report.

"Someone! Quickly pass the decree, circulate this good news to the ministers, and wait for the evil Shixiong General to arrive in Luoyang, I will feast the ministers! Hahaha! For a time, the whole Luoyang was festive.

"You know what? The great general of the evil Shixiong defeated Dou Jiande and beheaded more than 10,000 people! ”

"I also heard what my master said, and the army of Hebei is about to arrive, and this victory is mainly due to the fact that the main force of Liaodong returned to the division in time and formed a flanking attack with General Shixiong to defeat Dou Jiande. It seems that this time the army of Liaodong is also about to arrive. ”

"Hmmm! Look! What a neat army! What kind of army is this! ”

"You don't know! This is the vanguard of the great general of the evil world, I have just come from the north gate, and I have just seen the city they entered, and they have just returned from a victory, and naturally the momentum is like a rainbow. I've heard that there are a lot of people stationed outside the city! ”

"Oh! Is it? "A few days later, another team came to the west gate of Luoyang, waving the flag, the air was magnificent, and the people of Luoyang inquired that it was a reinforcement from Guanzhong. This happened every day, and large camps were set up to the north and west of Luoyang, and the sound of soldiers training day and night was heard. All this information was also sent to Li Mi's ears through Li Mi's eyeliner.

"I heard that Emperor Sui has mobilized reinforcements from Guanzhong and Liaodong, and now that Luoyang's troops have increased greatly, it seems that the decisive battle of Rongyang City is about to begin, do you have any opinions?"

"In my opinion, we should simply withdraw our troops, and now we have expanded our strength by occupying the territory, let's wait for the opportunity in the future!" Speaking is Zhai Rang's eldest brother Zhai Hong, he has always liked to rob the house, grab the land, fight for the life of the rogue of women, in the past, when Zhai Rang was the king of the mountain, they, the 'imperial relatives' relied on Zhai Rang's power to put the best women and the most valuable things into their own pockets, and after Zhai Rang gave way to Li Mi, Li Mi overthrew Yang Guang's rule and established a new dynasty in the name of the righteous teacher, in order to buy people's hearts, several times to stop Zhai Hong's looting actions, and punished Zhai Hong's subordinates many times, Zhai Hong also hated Li Mi to the core, Coupled with the fact that Zhai Kuan and Wang Ruxin had secretly connected with him, he naturally understood it. His words also aroused the approval of Zhou Faming, Li Wenxiang, Zhang Sheng, Zhao Junde, Hao Xiaode and other newly returned generals, and with the subordinates of the former Sui Dynasty general Zhang Xutuo and the former Sui Dynasty official Yuan Baobao, they all bowed their heads and remained silent, Li Mi saw their attitudes, and the murderous intent in his heart rose. 'Humph! Most of my main forces are near Rongyang, wait for me to free my hands, Zhai Rang, you and your fox group and dog party will watch! In the evening, Wei Zheng came to Li Mi's tent again:

"Lord, in the past few days, Zhai Rang's eldest brother Zhai Kuan has been connected everywhere, according to the investigation of the secret agents under the minister, in addition to Zhai Rang's former relatives and old departments, the other Liukou generals who have just returned to Shun have a bit of a sense of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, only Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin and others under Zhang Xutuo have not been connected by them, but they still have to guard against it!" Wei Zheng's report was similar to the situation in the daytime camp, and Li Mi nodded:

"Hmmm! , Hao Xiaode, they are all bandits like Zhai Kuan, now I want to get a piece of the pie when I see that I am powerful, and now the war is a little unfavorable, I want to find a way to retreat, this is natural, now is not the time to move them, when King Qin Huiwen killed Shang Ying, he almost made the people who wanted to serve in the Qin State hold back, and lost the great cause of unifying the six countries, so as long as they don't go along with Zhai Kuan, they will turn a blind eye! As for Qin Qiong, they are the old subordinates of the Sui army, and they will not be accepted by Yang Guang again. In addition, the spy you sent to Luoyang will be rewarded!? ”

"My lord is wise, the secret agent I sent to Luoyang reported that there are large barracks built in the north and west of Luoyang City, and it is true that every few days there will be new troops assembled in Luoyang City to meet Yang Guang in the palace, and the people in Luoyang are also spreading the news of Dou Jiande's defeat, and I can't find out the exact news about the rest." Wei Zheng said, lowered his head in shame, Li Mi saw it in his eyes, and gently patted Wei Zheng's shoulder.

"Xuancheng, I know that you are loyal to me and feel at ease, help me monitor Zhai and let them go, as for Luoyang, don't worry about him for the time being, our focus is now on Rongyang."

"My lord! The minister thinks that we should not stay in Rongyang for the time being, but bypass Rongyang and get close to Guanzhong, and now there are so many reinforcements in Guanzhong, so the Chang'an guards must be empty, so it is better for us to go all out into Guanzhong。。。。。。 As soon as Wei Zheng said this, he saw that Li Mi's face had changed a little, and he quickly shut up, compared to the Zhenguan period, Wei Zheng did not have that kind of style now.

"Xuancheng, you don't have to persuade me anymore, do your thing well, don't worry about anything else!"

"Yes!" Wei Zheng saw that he couldn't persuade Li Mi, so he had to withdraw from Li Mi's camp, and Li Mi took out his sword and slashed it at the shelf where the sword was placed.

"If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, Zhai Rang, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless when the time comes." As Li Mi's sword fell, the shelf where the sword was placed was cut into two pieces, and Li Mi's face was accompanied by a murderous aura, and the poet looked very frightened.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Luoyang's daily army mobilization continued, and Li Jiancheng and his reinforcements had changed into the clothes of the common people in order to hide people's eyes, quietly left Luoyang City, and assembled in the mountains twenty miles away from Rongyang City.

"Three Treasures! What did you gain from this visit to Rongyang City? Since Li Xiuning and Chai Jie's marriage, Li Xiuning was assigned to act as a messenger between Taiyuan and Yibin many times, Li Jiancheng saw that he was smart and clever, so he asked him to come over, and slowly became Li Jiancheng's confidant.

"The eldest prince, the villain has already met Master Yue and General Xu through the token you gave, and he also gave the villain a letter and asked me to hand it over to the eldest prince in person." After speaking, he took out a letter from his arms and respectfully handed it to Li Jiancheng. After Li Jiancheng opened the letter, he read it carefully, and wrote a reply letter to Ma Sanbao as quickly as possible.

"Three Treasures! Be careful all the way! Although Li Jiancheng knows that Ma Sanbao has always been cautious and alert, as a superior, he still has to show his true and false concern in front of his subordinates.

"Gongzi Xie! The villain is gone. Ma Sanbao kowtowed and thanked him.

At three o'clock in the evening, because Rongyang had been shot back with bows and arrows for many days, there was no war at night, so the soldiers under Wang Bodang and Shan Xiongxin were a little tired, some slept around the fire, and some chatted in groups.

"Hey! This battle is really boring! ”

"Yes! In the past, we went all the way, I don't know how smooth it was, those Sui dogs were as vulnerable as earth dogs and wooden chickens, but you can tell me about it, they can't attack under this Rongyang City, and they can't break through, so it's annoying to be stuck like this! The few people around him nodded their heads one after another.

"Hey! I heard that a lot of reinforcements from Luoyang are coming, do you think they will come over? ”

"I said Wansan, in the words of a storyteller, you are really unfounded! Didn't the generals say it? That tyrant's army was trapped in Hebei by General Dou, and it was difficult to come over, as long as we stick here, Rongyang and Luoyang will be just around the corner. Yes! Before he could finish speaking, an arrow pierced his heart, and the protruding half of it was still burning.

"Ahh Someone is sneaking up, be on guard! "I saw the north blazing in the sky, and the rockets in the sky were shooting at them. The chaos was full of shouts of killing and war drums, and I don't know how many enemy troops sneaked up.

"Kill! Capture the enemy alive and reward 100 taels of silver, kill a traitor, and reward 10 times for the head, kill! Wang Bodang and Shan Xiongxin were asleep when they suddenly heard the sound of killing and war drums shaking the sky, and the camp was full of fire, and they were shocked at once.

"What happened?"

"Report to the general! The Sui army sneaked up on our army's camp, and I don't know how many people there were for a while? ”

"Report! General, the defenders of Rongyang City opened the city gate and attacked our army from the city, the forward battalion has been completely wiped out, please decide! ”

"Resist, hold on! Soldiers, follow me out of the camp to kill the enemy! Brother Bodang, I will go to the north to resist the enemy army, and you will lead the Divine Arrow Battalion to resist Xu Shiji. Shan Xiongxin shouted, and at this time, an arrow hit his left arm, shooting him off the horse, and Wang Bodang immediately protected Shan Xiongxin:

"Brother Xiongxin, you are injured, now it's better to retreat quickly! The green mountains are here, and I'm not afraid of no firewood! Shan Xiongxin was still strong, and was hugged by Wang Bodang. And loudly ordered:

"Retreat!" After that, he escorted Shan Xiongxin and retreated to Jindi Pass. Xu Shiji came to Li Jiancheng covered in blood.

"Brother Li, I didn't expect me to see you again!" After speaking, he fainted into Li Jiancheng's arms, and Li Jiancheng asked the accompanying medical officer to check on him, and found that it was only due to long-term malnutrition and overwork, and there was no major problem! After Shan Xiongxin and Wang Bodang returned to Jindi Pass, they ordered their soldiers to tie them up and kneel in front of Li Mi to plead guilty.

"The last general will be defeated, the army will be lost, and the prestige of the lord will be damaged, please punish the lord."

"My lord! According to the military law of our Great Wei State, Shan Xiongxin and Wang Bodang should be severely punished if they were defeated and killed, and the worst should be the crime of killing their heads, isn't it! "Shan Xiongxin and Zhai Rang are fellow villagers and neighbors, when Zhai Rang wanted to pull the team to occupy the mountain as the king, the first people to find were not their brothers, but Shan Xiongxin, who was good when he was young, when he established Wagangzhai, although Zhai Rang only let Shan Xiongxin sit in the fourth chair, but every time he was rewarded for meritorious deeds, Shan Xiongxin got the most property, which made Zhai Kuan and others jealous, and then Li Mi went up the mountain to take refuge, Zhai Kuan and other people persuaded him, only Shan Xiongxin praised Li Mi's talent in front of Zhai Rang, Later, Li Mi persuaded Zhai Rang to put the common people in the world first, not to be proud of being a mountain king for the rest of his life, he also helped by the side, and finally made Li Mi's power in Wagangzhai continue to grow, and finally it was this Shan Xiongxin who came forward to persuade Zhai Rang to give way to Li Mi, so in the eyes of Zhai Kuan and others, Shan Xiongxin is an out-and-out villain and a traitor. And Wang Bodang is Li Mi's hardcore confidant, as long as the two of them are removed, it is equivalent to breaking one of Li Mi's arms.

"No! The two generals were born and died in the process of strengthening our Wagang and establishing the Great Wei, and they worked hard and made great achievements, only to blame that Li Jiancheng for his tricks, and hoped that the lord would forgive the sins of the two of them and let them make meritorious contributions when it was the time to use people. Wei Zheng knelt in front of Li Mi, and under the drive of Wei Zheng, the generals who had a close relationship with Shan Xiongxin and Wang Bodang also knelt down. Even Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin, who had surrendered, knelt in front of Li Mi:

"The last general begs the lord to forgive them!" Li Mi drew his sword, and slowly walked towards Wang Bodang and Shan Xiongxin, there was a tense and murderous atmosphere in the camp, Wang Bodang and Shan Xiongxin thought that their death was coming, they both closed their eyes, and suddenly the rope on their bodies was cut. Li Mi helped the two of them up:

"Today's defeat is the sin of Lone, and it is not about the two generals. Let me confess my sins today! After speaking, he cut off a bundle of his hair, and Wei Zheng, Wang Bodang, and Shan Xiongxin shouted distressedly.

"Lord, the body is skinny, and the parents are affected, this is too much!" Zhai Kuan and the others were unconvinced. Just losing a bunch of hair, and paying such a serious sin, this scholar is really tricky. Li Mi was walking towards Zhai Rang and the others. Clenching your fists with both hands:

"Brother Zhai, thanks to you back then, let me sit in the first position, now to create such a big situation, you should be the first to take the lead, this failure is my fault, so I hope to get more help from the eldest brother in the future, after taking us back to Wagang, I will definitely seal the eldest brother for everyone to slaughter, give Situ the title, and monopolize the military and political power of the Great Wei State, after the establishment of the new dynasty in the future, we will sit on an equal footing, big brother, what do you think."

"Master! Why do you bother? Zhai Rang held Li Mi's hands and said emotionally, Zhai Kuan and the others were also overjoyed, as if a sunny avenue was in front of them, and it would be smooth all the way up to the sky in the future. No one saw the murderous intent in Li Mi's eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Tanma came back to report that Dou Jiande was defeated by Hebei, and the reinforcements from Xian Shixiong and Liaodong really arrived in Luoyang, so Li Mi ordered to abandon Jindi Pass and retreat to Wagangzhai. On the way back, Li Mi said hatefully in the direction of Rongyang:

"Li Jiancheng! We've come a long way! ”
