Luo Shixin accepted the instructions and rushed back to Xiuwu County, Yang Yuanqing had already decided to arrange the main battlefield in the area of Xinxiang County, and Luo Shixin's task was to deploy his main force to Xinxiang County.

As soon as Luo Shixin left, a personal soldier came to report at the door of the tent: "Chief, someone outside the government asked to see him and sent a famous post." ”

Yang Yuanqing stepped forward to take the post, and saw that it was written, 'Bing Yuanzhen of the Wei Wangfu Records Office joined the army'.

Seeing the name Bing Yuanzhen, Yang Yuanqing was immediately furious, the battle of Dahai Temple, the death of his master Zhang Xutuo, it was Bing Yuanzhen who made a plan, he wanted to kill this person to commemorate the master, but he didn't expect him to send it to the door himself.

Yang Yuanqing shouted, "Take him to the lobby and give me a knife and axe to serve!" ”

Xu Shiji was very familiar with Bing Yuan, he saw that Yang Yuanqing was really angry, and hurriedly persuaded: "Boss, please calm your anger, this person's arrival is very important, don't be reckless!" ”

Yang Yuanqing glanced at him and asked lightly, "Could it be that General Xu has a personal relationship with this person?" ”

"It's not, it's mainly because I know that Bing Yuanzhen is now Li Mi's right-hand man, Wu is Shan Xiongxin, and Wen is this Bing Yuanzhen, since Li Mi sent him, there must be a big event, and the governor can't miss the military aircraft for personal vendetta."

Yang Yuanqing suppressed the anger in his heart, and then ordered: "Take this person to the side camp to see me." ”

Soon, the soldiers took a middle-aged scribe into the side camp tent, this person is the third person in the Wagang Army, Bing Yuanzhen, Bing Yuanzhen is also a veteran of Wagang, followed Zhai Rang to rebel, and later followed Li Mi, now Li Mi Wei Wangfu Records to join the army, in charge of confidential documents, is also Li Mi's main strategist, and his status in the Wagang Army is second only to Shan Xiongxin.

This time, Bing Yuanzhen came to see Xu Shiji on the order of Li Mi, he didn't know that Yang Yuanqing had arrived in Hanoi County, and he only knew that Yang Yuanqing had arrived after being led into the camp by the soldiers, which made him very scared. He knew that Yang Yuanqing would inevitably hate himself because of Zhang Xutuo's death, and he didn't know that he would die here, so he had to come to see Yang Yuanqing.

Bing Yuan really trembled and walked into the big tent. He saw a general wearing a golden helmet sitting in the middle of the big tent, Xu Shiji was standing aside, both sides were full of swords and axes, Bing Yuanzhen's legs couldn't help but weaken, he knelt down, bowed his head and said: "The Wei Wangfu Records Office joined the army Bing Yuanzhen to meet His Royal Highness the King of Jin!" ”

Yang Yuanqing stared at him sharply for a long time, and asked coldly, "What did Li Mi ask you to do?" ”

Bing Yuanzhen glanced at both sides. There are so many soldiers here, he can't say it, at this time, Yang Yuanqing has gradually regained his senses, and in the future, he will take over the world, Bing Yuanzhen will fall into his hands sooner or later, but he is not in a hurry At this time, he waved his hand, and the sword and axe hands on both sides retreated. There were only five or six pro-soldiers left in the tent, Xu Shiji, and Xiao Jin, who joined the army in the book.

Yang Yuanqing said coldly: "If there is anything, just say it!" ”

Bing Yuan really didn't dare to stand up, still kneeling on the ground. He held back the humiliation in his heart and said, "King Wei hopes to form an alliance with His Highness to deal with Dou Jiande together. ”

Li Mi actually wanted to form an alliance with himself to deal with Dou Jiande, which surprised Yang Yuanqing, you must know that Li Mi and Dou Jiande themselves are allies, and it is possible for the two of them to join forces to deal with themselves, but now it is actually the other way around, Li Mi wants to deal with Dou Jiande with himself.

As soon as he thought about it, Yang Yuanqing understood that Li Mi didn't really want to form an alliance, but wanted to fish in troubled waters. Dou Jiande's army went south, Li Mi would inevitably increase his troops in Liyang, if Dou Jiande was defeated, he could take the opportunity to occupy Ji County on the grounds of forming an alliance with himself, and if he was defeated. On the grounds of an alliance with Dou Jiande, he seized part of Hanoi County, such as Ha Duong County, a strategic place related to him.

Yang Yuanqing guessed Li Mi's intentions, of course he would not easily send troops to attack Dou Jiande, thinking of this, Yang Yuanqing asked: "I heard that Li Mi has moved the capital to Xingyang, doesn't he want Xingluo City?" ”

Bing Yuanzhen knelt on his knees and his legs ached, he couldn't hold back any longer, so he said, "Your Highness, can you let the humble official stand up and answer first." ”

Yang Yuanqing glanced at the soldiers next to him and ordered, "Give him a soft seat." ”

The difference between kneeling and sitting lies in whether there is a mat under the body, if there is a mat, that is, sitting, without a mat, that is, kneeling, and a mat can determine a person's dignity.

Although Bing Yuanzhen's posture has not changed, his psychology is different, Yang Yuanqing gave himself a mat, at least he would not kill himself, which made his heart fall and he no longer felt ashamed.

He continued: "The king of Wei attacked Luoyang, so he wanted to make peace with Emperor Tai, and the other party put forward the condition of peace, that is, to ask us to withdraw to the east of the Tiger Pass, of course the king of Wei refused to give up Xingluo City, and later negotiated several times, the king of Wei promised to move the capital to Xingyang, but that was only a nominal move to the capital, in fact, the king of Wei is still in Xingluo City, we can't give up Xingluocang." ”

Bing Yuanzhen said, while secretly glancing at Xu Shiji, in fact, he did not come to find Yang Yuanqing this time, but to find Xu Shiji, is to hope that Xu Shiji can look at the past and promote this alliance, of course, Li Mi will never turn his face with Dou Jiande, Li Mi's fundamental starting point is still to seek Hanoi County, although Song Jingang surrendered to Dou Jiande, it does not mean that Li Mi gave up Hanoi County.

Xu Shiji ignored Bing Yuanzhen's hints, he was a little nervous in his heart, just now he suddenly realized that Bing Yuanzhen was actually looking for him, Yang Yuanqing had just arrived today, they couldn't know, the problem was that he wanted to get this, and Yang Yuanqing definitely wanted to get it, so would he think that he still had a secret relationship with the Wagang Army?

Xu Shiji was secretly annoyed in his heart, he almost suspected that this was Li Mi's discordant plan.

Yang Yuanqing didn't seem to feel anything, and asked lightly: "Li Mi proposed to form an alliance with me, what does he want to do?" ”

"My King Wei just wants to deal with Dou Jiande with His Royal Highness, and share the land of Hebei in the future."

Yang Yuanqing pondered for a long time, as if thinking about the possibility of forming an alliance, and after a while, he asked again: "Is there a letter from King Wei?" ”

He had already changed his title, renamed Li Mi as the King of Wei, and took a step forward in his tone, Bing Yuan was secretly happy in his heart, so he hurriedly said: "The humble post is only here to talk about the preliminary intention, if His Royal Highness is interested, the humble post will come back in a few days to formally negotiate, and there will be various details of the alliance at that time." ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "Okay! I am looking forward to your arrival again, and it has always been my wish to cooperate with King Wei to map Luoyang. ”

Bing Yuan was really overjoyed, and got up to salute, "I'll go back and report His Highness's expectations to King Wei, and I will come back as soon as possible." ”

Bing Yuanzhen resigned, Yang Yuanqing returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, standing in front of the sand table and thinking about Li Mi's intentions, at this time, Xu Shiji came over and said: "Chief, I think that Bing Yuanzhen actually has a letter from Li Mi, but it is not for the chief, but a letter to me." ”

Yang Yuanqing looked back at Xu Shiji for a moment, patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "I know it in my heart, you don't have any worries." ”

There are some things that don't need to be said, everyone understands in their hearts, of course Yang Yuanqing knows that it is impossible for Bing Yuanzhen to carry Li Mi's handwritten letter to himself, it is of course one thing to be unprepared, but it is the other hand not to want to have a handle in his hands, before he gets enough benefits, it is impossible for him to turn his face with Dou Jiande.

Yang Yuanqing asked Xu Shiji again, "What do you think Li Mi means by wanting to form an alliance with me?" ”

Xu Shiji has also been thinking about this issue, with his understanding of Li Mi, he has probably guessed Li Mi's true intentions, and said slowly: "I think that Li Mi's fundamental purpose is still to seek Hanoi County, and his alliance is just an excuse, or just to confuse us." ”

Yang Yuanqing obviously agreed with Xu Shiji's idea, so he nodded, "Go on." ”

Xu Shiji picked up the wooden pole and pointed to the area of Heyang County and Mengjindu along the Yellow River and said: "If I guess correctly, Li Mi will definitely take advantage of the time when we and Dou Jiande are fighting in the area of Xinxiang County, cross the river from Mengjin and occupy Heyang and even Hanoi County, I am worried that we will be in a situation of being attacked on our backs." ”

Yang Yuanqing frowned, and asked again: "Do you think Li Mi wants to take the opportunity to occupy Ji County?" ”

Xu Shiji shook his head, "I don't think it's true!" ”

"Why?" Yang Yuanqing looked at him and asked.

Xu Shiji sighed, "Because the general manager doesn't know the situation of Liyang Cang, and I know that in fact, when the Wagang Army occupied Liyang Cang, there were only 20% of the grain left in the granary, and the grain was transported to Liaodong, and after so many years of consumption, Liyang Cang has long been an empty warehouse, Li Mi once told me personally that Liyang Cang is a piece of chicken ribs, tasteless food, and it is a pity to abandon it, so it makes no sense for him to occupy Ji County, and Hanoi County is different, the north can enter Hedong, and the east can enter Hebei, Occupying it is not afraid of offending Dou Jiande, and at the same time avoiding the threat from the north, Wang Junkuo told me that Li Mi did not hesitate to give him 20,000 stone of grain in order to make Song Jingang surrender, which shows Li Mi's desire for Hanoi County, and he is sure that Li Mi's army will definitely cross the river from the area of Heyang County to the north, and the so-called alliance is just to confuse the governor. ”

Yang Yuanqing nodded slowly, "Do you know why I asked him about moving the capital to Xingyang?" In fact, I want to know the sincerity of Li Mi's work, from the fact that he nominally moved the capital to Xingyang, but actually remained in Luokou City, it can be seen that this person is not credible, he can also nominally ally ally with me, but in fact stabbed me in the back, you are right, he wants to make a so-called alliance with me, it is just a kind of confusion, let down his guard against him. ”

Yang Yuanqing walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and sneered: "Li Mi is called wanting to cover Mizhang, if he doesn't come to form an alliance, maybe I can't think of defending him, but he wants to form an alliance, which reminds me to beware of Li Mi sending troops from behind." ”

Xu Shiji pursed his lips, his lips were tied into a line, he hesitated, but in the end he still mustered up the courage to say: "Chief, I am willing to defend against Li Mi's sneak attack from behind." ”

Yang Yuanqing turned his head and looked at him deeply, he knew that Xu Shiji needed great courage to make this request, so he smiled and nodded, "You can lead the headquarters to garrison Heyang County!" ”
