Chapter 539 Wang must bring Duke Wei's words to him
Chapter 539
"... Li Mi killed Brother Zhai and his family, then dragged and beat them, and finally managed to stabilize people's hearts.
Now he actually secretly colludes with Dongdu Xiaochaoting. What is the difference between his doing this and betraying his brothers? It really makes Shan deeply despised."
Yang Qian nodded, but he really didn't expect that Li Mi would continue to follow the same old path in history.
Youzi is so capricious and puts profit first in everything. Such a person cannot even be considered a hero.
After all, if you have breasts, you are a mother, and when you are full, you will turn your back on someone else's nature, which is really disgusting and cold.
In short, Li Mi was moved. Such capricious behavior naturally made the leaders of Wagang Village who were originally at loggerheads with Dongdu cold-blooded.
After all, there are quite a few leaders who are not part of Li Mi's direct lineage. What if Dongdu Chaoting wants to cause trouble for them?
Given Li Mi's attitude of turning his back on others and not recognizing others' virtues, I'm afraid he would look on with cold eyes.
Therefore, the anxious Shan brothers finally made up their minds. After discussion, they asked Shan Xiongxin and Han Zhao to come together to meet Yang Qian first.
"We, the Jingnan Army, are not from the same group as Dongdu. I think Brother Shiji should have told you."
"It would be great if you, Brother Shan, could serve in our Jingnan Army."
Changsun Wuji, who was sitting next to him, drinking and eating meat, wiped his mouth and said.
"General Shan is the one whom my commander-in-chief admires the most among the leaders of Wagang Village. He is a man of righteousness and has a cheerful personality..."
"Since General Shan and all the leaders of Wagang Village are willing to serve under my commander-in-chief, both the commander-in-chief and I will welcome them with both hands."
"The only thing is that after joining the Jingnan Army, if you are in the military, you must strictly abide by the military regulations and laws of the Jingnan Army."
"Of course, if you don't want to join the army, you can go to work as an official somewhere. In addition, even if you want to be a happy man, you can..."
Since Shan Xiongxin came to talk in person, Yang Qian would naturally not hide it, but Changsun Wuji, a close advisor, would explain the rules clearly first.
Shan Xiongxin wiped his mouth, bowed respectfully to Yang Qian and said seriously.
"Yang is staying behind, but please don't worry. We are willing to come and serve, but we have already figured it out.
Furthermore, the Jingnan Army is powerful in the world. As a person who likes military affairs, Shan joined Yang Liushou, naturally in order to make great achievements by leaping on horseback and crossing swords..."

Three days later, it was finally time for Brother Shan Xiongxin and Shan Xiongzhong to patrol back to the south city of Luocang City.
The two brothers, together with Wang Junkuo and Xie Yingdeng, led more than 15,000 people under their command, opened the south gate of Huiluocang City and rushed out of Huiluocang City, then headed straight for the direction of Luokou Cangcheng.
Li Mi, who had recovered from his injuries, was reading a military book in his study when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside and Uncle Wang's extremely angry cry.
"Brother Bodang, what happened?" Li Mi put down his military book and shouted.
"Wei Gong, something bad happened. Brother Shan Xiongxin and Shan Xiongzhong took advantage of the opportunity to patrol the south city, opened the south gate and led the troops to escape."
"???" Li Mi was stunned for a long time before he reacted. "Escaped?"
"Yes, those two bastards Wang Junkuo and Xie Yingdeng also escaped with their brothers."
"Fifteen thousand men and horses followed the four of them and ran away."
"The general will make a bold guess that they are probably going to vote for Yang Qian."
Li Mi's brows couldn't help but twitch, and just as he was about to stand up, he felt the pain from the arrow wound on his shoulder, and couldn't help but sit back down.
"Chase! Hurry, send people to chase them back quickly."
"Wei Gong, it would be better for me to let the general chase him in person. If it is someone else, the general will be really worried."
Li Mi gently covered the arrow wound on his shoulder with his hand. Li Mi, whose face was ashen, glanced at Wang Bodang, his eyes full of fierce light.
"That's fine, the six thousand elite cavalry from Li's headquarters are at your disposal. If a few of them are willing to change their minds, that's all. If..."
Uncle Wang carefully understood this, bowed to Li Mi, and replied gloomily.
"Don't worry, Mr. Wei, if they dare to betray their master, their corpses will be scattered all over the land to alert some people in the city."
Li Mi stood up slowly and gently patted Wang Bodang's shoulder with his big hand.
"Thank you for your work. The only general who can be trusted by Li is a virtuous brother."
Such an intimate gesture and such heart-warming words made Uncle Wang's eyes heat up, and he bowed down before him.
"Wei Gong has been as kind to me as a mountain. Wang must repay Wei Gong and die."
Watching Wang Bodang leave in a hurry, the smile on Li Mi's face gradually faded, and he ordered the guards outside the door.
"Quick, hurry up and tell Sima Zuo, Sima You and others to come over and discuss the matter.
In addition, I have passed down an order from my general, and immediately the four doors are sealed. No one is allowed to enter or exit without authorization. Anyone who violates this will be punished for treason!"
"promise!"
Li Mi sat back slowly, his expression gloomy and uncertain. He never thought that he would actually end up betraying his relatives.
All this was because that bastard Yang Qian had learned from Uncle Wang that Shan Xiongxin, Shan Xiongzhong and others had old friendships with Yang Qian.
Therefore, we have always been wary of them, and tried our best to use them in many battles, just to prevent them from becoming powerful in the Wagangzhai army.
But no matter how hard you calculate, you can never imagine that they would just rush out of the door and leave like that.

There were 15,000 people, but less than 1,000 cavalry. The rest of the infantry left Luocang City and headed east.
But just after walking less than ten miles, I heard the sound of galloping hooves coming from behind.
Shan Xiong Zhongle turned his horse's head and saw the size of the cavalry, which was at least several thousand, and his expression changed.
"It's actually a cavalryman from Li Mi's headquarters."
Wang Junlang, holding a long sword, stood side by side with the Shan brothers, his face looking very ugly.
"What should we do? There are at least five to six thousand cavalry. With the strength of our brothers, we can't stop them at all."
Shan Xiongxin smiled confidently.
"Don't worry, the supporting troops of the Jingnan Army are nearby. If our army is in danger, they will definitely not let our army be defeated by Li Mi."
Not long after he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a horn coming from the northeast. Then, from behind a hill, a soldier and horse galloped towards this side.
The banner they were flying was the Jingnan Army. The generals leading the army were Xu Shiji and others. Naturally, they could not just sit back and watch the Shan brothers and others being taken back by Li Mi.
Wang Bodang had already led his troops to advance. When he saw Shan Xiongxin and others showing no panic, and then looking at the smoke and dust billowing from the northeast, his expression became extremely ugly.
"General, let's withdraw. I'm afraid there are a lot of troops from the other side." The leader on the side couldn't help but said in a panic.
After all, these six thousand cavalry were Li Mi's old base. If the loss was serious, it would be too late to cry.
"You guys, stop now. No matter what, Wang must bring Duke Wei's words to you."
