Chapter 590 The defeated general Duan Da has returned
Chapter 590
To the west of the city, a former royal palace has now become Li Mi's residence, with a plaque of King Wei hanging on it. This is not only his residence, but also the place where he manages affairs.
At this moment, it has been nearly two hours since they entered the city, and the 30,000 Wagangzhai elite under his command have been placed in nearby houses centered on this palace.
Naturally, the purpose was to ensure the safety of Li Mi, the King of Wei.
Li Mi himself felt quite sad to be able to re-enter the Eastern Capital. He was once a courtier of the Sui Dynasty. Later, Yang Xuangan, a man with great ambition and talent, called on his friends to rebel.
I thought this guy was a master who could accomplish things, so he rushed over to shout and make suggestions.
What was the result? Yang Xuangan acted like I don’t want you to feel that way, I want what I feel. Then, he got high according to his own wishes, and as a result, he lost the heads of the entire family.
He was also regarded as a rebellious traitor and hid for a long time. Only then did he manage to get into the hands of Zhai Rang, a country bumpkin.
In order to gain his trust and make suggestions for him, he finally found someone who was obedient. Sure enough, after listening to his words, Zhai Rang won consecutive battles and his power grew.
However, Li Mi had always felt that Zhai Rang was just a scumbag peasant, how could he be compared with a distinguished figure like himself who had been a minister for generations.
The important thing is that the opponent's military IQ is obviously far inferior to mine, but when the opponent sees that he has become more and more popular, he has shown hostility to him several times.
Fortunately, at that time, Li Mi already had certain connections and strength in Wagang Village.
#####
In addition, he was very clever, so under various temptations and persuasion, more and more leaders of Wagang Village changed their families and joined Li Mi's command.
In the end, Li Mi actually became the largest leader of Wagang Village. Under this situation, Zhai Rang, a scumbag guy, had to obey the majority and abdicate in favor of talents.
So Zhai Rang recommended Li Mi as the leader of the Wagang Army, with the title of "Wei Gong". Li Mi then appointed Zhai Rang as Situ.
At this moment, all the relatives and friends around Zhai Rang were not happy. After all, the army in Wagangzhai could be said to be full of followers, and it might be possible to rule the world.
In other words, whoever becomes the boss may become the emperor. Why should our Lao Zhai family retreat to the second line?
After receiving the news, Li Mi naturally could not let Zhai Rang continue to threaten him. What's more, he was not willing to keep Zhai Rang, who still had a huge reputation among the troops in Wagangzhai.
After all, he was the only person in the army who could threaten his status, so Li Mi decided to take action unexpectedly.
Opportunities always come to those who are prepared, and the winner is naturally a thoughtful and intelligent person like Li Mi.
However, after killing Zhai Rang's family and a group of relatives and friends, Li Mi spent a lot of time and property.
This was able to win over the many leaders of Wagang Village and prevent Wagang Village from disintegrating after this incident.
Led this army and won consecutive battles with Dongdu, making people who were originally somewhat suspicious of each other gradually come together again.
The bastard Yang Qian showed up, and his strategy of attacking Luokou Cangcheng failed in the first place.
After that, every time I encountered this gang of bastards, now renamed Zhen Fujun, it was not a good thing, and they were defeated again and again.
It even caused disasters such as escaping in battle. Li Mi had to wash his hands and return to the city in time, otherwise Li Mi would not believe what would happen next.
Even after Li Mi rushed back to take charge, several people still escaped one after another, such as Xu Yuanlang, the Shan brothers, Wang Junkuo, Xie Dengying and other leaders of Wagang Village.
The important thing is that the Shan brothers actually went to join Yang Qian, which made Li Mi so angry that he almost suffered a myocardial infarction.
After that, Yang Qian left part of his troops to guard Luokou Cangcheng, changed his military trumpet, and went to avenge Yang Guang.
And Li Mi has also realized that the Zhenfu army under Yang Qian's command is really not something that can be defeated by the soldiers and horses of Wagangzhai lined with mountains.
In order to avoid being attacked from both sides, he also needed a buffer period to suppress various unstable factors within the Wagangzhai army.
Therefore, after accepting the offer from the small court in Dongdu that he despised, he naturally started to deal with the disobedient gangsters in the Wagangzhai army.
After finally putting things in order, cutting off a lot of heads, and winning over a lot of leaders, the entire Wagangzhai army was finally able to work together.
At this time, Yang Qian had already left, leaving only his uncle Li Jing to guard the place. Li Mi had always looked down upon such people who used nepotism to gain power.
After all, if you really have the ability, then why use nepotism? In his early years, Li Jing was just like him, and both were talented people who were commented on by Yang Su, the famous Duke of Chu in the Sui Dynasty.
Li Jing stayed by Yang Guang's side for ten years, but he was just a straight man. As for himself, relying on his intelligence, he first assisted Yang Xuangan, and then Zhai Rang.
Although these two bosses are dead, now I have become the master of Wagang Village.
#####
What you rely on is entirely your own ability, and you, Li Jing, were just a small straight man when you left Yang Guang.
You relied entirely on your nephew to pave the way for you, and now you are the chief defender of the city because of your relatives.
Therefore, Li Mi naturally looked down on Li Jing, so he ordered Wang Bo to lead his elite troops to attack Luokou Cangcheng, while he himself returned to Luocang City.
What he didn't expect was that when Uncle Wang stormed Luokou Cangcheng, that bastard Li Jing secretly led his elite troops to leave Luokou Cangcheng.
Moving westward along the river, they burned down the Yellow River wharf, along with a batch of supplies and baggage that was crossing the river.
By the time Li Mi led his troops to put out the fire, Li Jing had already retreated, but Wang Bodang fought furiously for several days, but made no achievements.
On the contrary, because the army was too densely assembled, it was attacked several times by the tens of thousands of "Thunderbolt Chariots" erected in the city.
In the end, Li Mi had no choice but to order Wang Bo to withdraw his troops and return, once again adding another shameful mark to the record of battles with the Zhenfu Army.
Fortunately, Dongdu was defeated by Chang'an's army, so Dongdu had no choice but to confer on himself the title of King of Wei and invite him to the city.
Naturally, Li Mi couldn't let go of such an opportunity, but he also knew very well that at least it was not an opportunity to take action yet.
Now, Li Mi, the main force of the Wagangzhai army outside the city, has been handed over to Wang Bodang and You Sima Zheng Qianxiang, who are both civil and military.
And what he has to do is to go deep into the Eastern Capital and wait for the opportunity.
At this moment, his confidant Zuo Sima Zheng Ting finally hurried back, but when he saw Zheng Ting's indignant look, Li Mi couldn't help being slightly stunned.
"Zheng Qing, what happened? Could it be that the little emperor neglected you?"
Zheng Ting shook his head, bowed to Li Mi and spoke in a deep voice.
"No, the little emperor is quite friendly towards his ministers. Unexpectedly, Duan Da, the defeated general, has returned."
