Gao Bufan pretended to ponder for a moment, and then said: "Well, for the sake of General Xu, I will spare Shan Xiongxin's life. Come and loosen his bonds!"

Xu Shiji said happily: "Thank you, King Qi." After saying that, he personally untied Shan Xiongxin's rope, helped him up, and said apologetically: "Brother Shan, I haven't seen you for a long time. I forgive you for leaving me without saying goodbye."

Shan Xiongxin was a man of righteousness and generous wealth. Although he was a bit older than Xu Shiji, the two of them had the same goals, went to Wagang to assist Zhai Rang, and had a sworn sworn relationship.

Shan Xiongxin's eyes were slightly moist, and he shook his head and said: "I don't blame you, it's all caused by that idiot Zhai Hong, and it was the right thing for Shiji to leave Wagang back then. Although Wei Gong is extremely smart, it's just..."

Shan Xiongxin did not say anything further. The son did not say that his father was ugly, and the ministers did not blame the king for his faults.

Xu Shiji sighed and said, "Li Mi must be narrow-minded and have no tolerance for others. If I were still in the village at that time, I'm afraid I would have suffered the same misfortune as Master Zhai."

Hearing this, Shan Xiongxin said with embarrassment: "I should have died together with Master Zhai, but I have managed to survive till now."

Xu Shiji consoled him: "Brother Shan doesn't have to blame himself. It's human nature to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. What are Brother Shan's plans next? Do you still want to go back and be loyal to Li Mi?"

Shan Xiongxin sighed and said: "Ever since Master Zhai was killed, I have wanted to leave. However, I have family ties, and Wei Gong actually treats me very well, so I have been thinking about it until now. I have fought countless battles in these years.

, it can be regarded as a great service to Mr. Wei, and I ask myself that I no longer owe him anything, so it is the right time to withdraw now."

Xu Shiji heard this and said: "In that case, why doesn't Brother Shan serve the King of Qi? The King of Qi is wise and righteous, and his mind is far greater than that of Li Mi. He has the appearance of a wise master."

Shan Xiongxin hesitated and said: "I'm afraid Shan Tong won't be able to get through to King Qi's eyes."

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "If Mr. Shan is willing to surrender, I will be happy for you."

Shan Xiong believed that although his bones were a bit soft, he was still a strong general who charged into battle. It would be good if he could be accepted, so Gao Bufan took the initiative to extend an olive branch.

Upon hearing this, Shan Xiongxin quickly fell to one knee and solemnly saluted: "Shan Xiongwei pays homage to King Qi."

"General Shan, please get up!" Gao Bufan stepped forward and helped Shan Xiongxin up, accepting the fierce general with a smile.

Li Mi had already become the boss of Wagang, but he held a Hongmen Banquet to kill Zhai Rang's brothers. This was undoubtedly a bad move. There must be many people in the Wagang army who were as determined as Shan Xiongxin, but

Li Mi has been going smoothly and is very strong, so the internal crisis has not broken out. Once he suffers a major setback, the internal crisis will inevitably break out. Shan Xiongxin is just the beginning.

When the Qi army finished cleaning the battlefield, it was already dark. The two armies camped across the Ming River to confront each other. Early the next morning, Li Mi ordered people to escort more than a dozen prisoners to the Ming River. These prisoners were all under Dou Jiande's command.

The key figures include Su Dingfang, Song Zhengben and Ling Jing.

"I, Li Mi, would like to invite King Qi to come and speak." Li Mi said loudly to the north bank.

The soldiers of the Qi army hurriedly reported to the Chinese army's tent: "Report to the King of Qi, Li Mi invites you to speak on the other side. He has also brought up all the captured soldiers under the command of King Changle."

Gao Bufan couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Li Mi wants to do this trick of scolding Luo Yu Wenji across the river again, but it seems that I have nothing for him to use as an excuse."

Changsun Wuji said: "Li Mi is a eloquent person. Since he has brought the soldiers under the command of King Changle, he probably intends to make a fuss about King Changle. In all likelihood, he wants to ruin your reputation, King Qi."

Du Ruhui smiled and said: "What the auxiliary machine said makes sense. The King of Qi does not need to pay attention to him. When Xiao Lu leads his army, he will attack from both sides of the strait and defeat him in one fell swoop."

Gao Bufan nodded and said: "What you say makes sense, but if you avoid him, your reputation and achievements will inevitably be weakened. You can go and meet him for a while on my behalf."

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but shine, and they almost burst into laughter. There were many eloquent people present. Xu Shiji was definitely not the most eloquent one, but Gao Bufan sent him there, which certainly had deep meaning. Because Li Mi killed Zhai.

Let the brothers, as a family, take over Nestlé, this

It was a stain that he could never wash away. As Zhai Rang's mastermind, Xu Shiji once had a considerable influence in Wagang. Now that he has come forward to accuse Li Mi, he is not only firmly standing on the moral high ground, but also

It can shake Wagang's military morale to the greatest extent.

As the saying goes, the power of psychological warfare should not be underestimated. Besieged on all sides, bluffing, attacking in the east, etc., are actually a type of psychological warfare. Although the speed of information dissemination in ancient times was slow, psychological warfare was a standard feature of ancient warfare.

Means, and precedents abound.

Let's say that Xu Shiji came to the north bank of Mingshui River. He was not wearing any clothes. He was just wearing a long gown, his hair was tied up in a high bun, and he was carrying a long sword. He was similar to how he was dressed in Wagang. So when he appeared, the soldiers of Wagang immediately recognized him.

After recognizing him, they all whispered to each other, and some even blurted out: "It's Military Advisor Xu!"

"I have long heard that Military Advisor Xu has defected to King Qi. It turns out it is true."

"Commander Xu was forced to leave by Lord Hong."

When Li Mi heard the whispers going on, he couldn't help but secretly screamed that something was wrong. His originally calm and composed expression became a little unnatural, and he secretly scolded Gao Bufan for being cunning.

Just as Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui expected, Li Mi's appointment with Gao Bufan across the river was indeed unkind. He just wanted to use Dou Jiande to talk things over and use his words to trick Gao Bufan. If Gao Bufan fell into the trap, he would accuse him of not keeping his word.

, ruthless and unjust, violating covenants, taking advantage of others' dangers, usurping the father-in-law's territory, etc. In short, they just put the shit basin on Gao Bufan's head and make him black and stink.

As a result, Gao Bufan did not show up, but sent Xu Shiji instead. Li Mi suddenly shot himself in the foot. But at this time, the momentum was so strong that Li Mi was too embarrassed to turn around and left, so he could only bite the bullet.

He raised his hands and asked, "Who is coming from the other side?"

Xu Shiji said calmly: "I am the Sima of the Prince of Qi, Xu Shiji, the general of the Left Guard of the State of Qi. The King of Qi disdains to see you, Li Mi, for fear of tainting himself, so he sent this general to send you away."

Li Mi couldn't help but his face darkened, while Cai Jiande said angrily: "Fart, who the hell is Gao Changqing? How dare you speak so shamelessly!"

Xu Shiji said coldly: "Li Mi's rebellion failed and he was on the run, wandering around without a fixed residence. Master Zhai kindly took him in and treated him like a distinguished guest. In the end, he even elected him as Wei Gong and commanded the heroes of Wagang.

Master Zhai was benevolent, loyal and magnanimous, and had the favor of supporting Li Mi. However, Li Mi was not only ungrateful, but brutally attacked and killed the entire family of Master Zhai, and occupied the Nestle. Such behavior was simply inferior to that of a beast, and was indignant to both humans and gods. It can be reviled by everyone in the world.

, let alone King Qi.”

Xu Shiji scolded him heartily. The Qi army on the north bank cheered thunderously, while the Wagang army on the south bank was silent. Even Li Mi's direct descendants lowered their heads in shame. In the matter of Zhai Rang, Wei Gong was indeed in the wrong.

Li Mi's face finally turned ugly, and Fang Xuanzao hurriedly said to the rescuer: "Xu Shiji, you, a traitor from Wagang in the past, don't have the right to talk nonsense here and confuse the public with your lies. It is true that Zhai Rang was kind to Wei Gong.

However, the prosperity of Wagang today is entirely due to Wei Gong's wisdom and wisdom, and Wei Gong's taking the first position is not due to Zhai Rang, but due to public expectations.

On the surface, Zhai Rang supported Duke Wei, but in reality he was unwilling to let his power slip away. However, Zhai Rang's brothers were usually domineering, bullying their colleagues, extremely greedy, and even had evil intentions. Wei Gong had no choice but to take the initiative. That's why Zhai Rang's brothers were

It is their own fault that they have ended up like this, and Duke Wei is really not to blame."

Xu Shiji sneered and said: "Now that Master Zhai has been killed, and there is no evidence of his death, it is not up to you to arrange it. It is extremely shameless!"

Li Mi stopped Fang Yanzao, who was still arguing, and pretended to be magnanimous and honest: "I, Li Mi, have acted openly and aboveboard throughout my life. The sun and the moon can be used as a reference. I don't need to explain to anyone. Why should I use my words for a while?"

Xu Shiji laughed and said: "Li Mi, you are narrow-minded and deceitful. You dare to speak so brazenly and say that you are upright and upright. It is the most ridiculous thing in the world."

Li Mi looked calm and said: "It's useless to talk more, and you, Xu Shiji, can't make the decision. Let Gao Changqing come and talk to me."

Xu Shiji said calmly: "King Qi said he doesn't bother to see you unless it's your Li Mi's head."

Li Mi smiled and said: "Mi originally thought that King Qi was a person, but he didn't expect it to be nothing more than this. His vision is too short-sighted, so it's better not to see him."

Naturally, Xu Shiji would not be fooled by such rhetoric, and sneered: "Stop talking nonsense, let's see the real deal." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Li Mi frowned and shouted sternly: "Wait a minute, these are the soldiers under King Changle, and King Qi doesn't intend to redeem them. But, if they are all redeemed, how can King Qi control King Changle's territory?

?By the way, is King Changle still well now?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Su Dingfang, Ling Jing, Song Zhengben and others could not help but change slightly.

Li Mi's words are undoubtedly murderous. This clearly implies that Gao Bufan secretly murdered Dou Jiande in order to seize Dou Jiande's territory. It would be fine if Dou Jiande and Gao Bufan had no relationship, but Dou Jiande is Gao Bufan's father-in-law, and the two parties also signed a contract

The treaty of the offensive and defensive alliance.

Xu Shiji looked calm and said: "Although King Changle was hit by an arrow in the back, he is no longer in danger of life after treatment, so I won't bother you, Li Mi, to pretend."

Su Dingfang and others couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that King Changle was still alive.

At this time, Xu Shiji continued: "As for the prisoners in Wagang, King Qi has always been kind and righteous, and he will release them all later. If you, Li Mi, are as generous as King Qi, you might as well release all the old troops of King Changle."

After saying that, he turned around and strode away.
