In the autumn and winter of the twelfth year of Daye, a major event that shocked the world happened in Luodu, the hinterland of the Central Plains.
Zhang Xutuo, a famous general of the Sui Dynasty, stayed in Luodu and was assassinated when he returned to Luodu.
At the same time, a large number of Wagang Army soldiers who sneaked in took advantage of the chaos and entered Luodu City and occupied Luodu City in one fell swoop.
The officers and soldiers stationed in Luodu City and outside the city were all restrained by the hands of local aristocratic families and could not move for a while.
By the time he reacted, Luodu had already fallen into the hands of Wagang Army Li Mi.
Zhang Xutuo's generals Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and Pei Yuanqing led their troops out of Luodu, met together and headed to Xingyang County, and then took the initiative to surrender to Wu Dongfang, the Wagang Army who was blocking the gate.
A series of dazzling changes that leave people stunned and overwhelmed.
The Li Mi Department of the Wagang Army who occupied Luodu immediately announced the news of the change of hands in the Luodu area, and also informed the main force of Wagang about the matter.
What is strange is that Li Mi and his staff rushed to Luo as soon as possible without saying that all the civil and military officials in the left-behind mansion were already in place.
It was as if they had already prepared, but it was just a tacit cooperation.
After Li Mi captured Luodu, he immediately united with the aristocratic families in the city and took over the military and political power of the entire Luodu area.
All the generals and local civil servants stationed in Luodu surrendered and became Li Mi's subordinates.
Among them, even Pei Yuanqing's father, Pei Renji, the guard general of Hulao Gate.
The speed is so fast that outsiders and forces cannot react at all.
That is to say, Wu Dongfang, the Wagang army who captured Xingyang County, rushed towards the vast plain behind Xingyang County like a violent storm.
He ignored the towns along the way and firmly held control of the countryside.
In just ten days, the entire Luodu area has changed.
After Li Mi slightly stabilized the situation in Luodu, he immediately took the title of "King of Wei" and commanded the civil and military affairs of Luodu with the support of core members of the Yiqian family.
At the same time, he sent a letter to Zhai Rang, the leader of the Wagang Army, asking him to go to Luodu for a while, as he had important matters to discuss.
Such a letter was also given to Wu Dong.
"Brother Wu Dong, should we go or not?"
At this time, Zhai Rang, the leader of the Wagang Army, was walking in the village below the mountain stronghold.
Wu Dong followed beside him, and the two of them got Li Mi's letter almost at the same time.
Zhai Rang joked with a smile, shook his head and said, "Master Li, he is really quick and decisive in his actions!"
"I guess he won't welcome us there!"
Wu Dong chuckled and said: "As for the Luodu incident this time, it is just a way for the wealthy family to show off their muscles. What does it have to do with Li Mi?"
"That's right!"
Zhai Rang shook his head and said: "Is it so easy for the big families to unite? Master Li, the only bad thing is that he will be swallowed up to the point where not even the bones and dregs are left!"
"Why do you care so much about him?"
Wu Dong said calmly: "It's already pretty good if I don't cause him any trouble. Let's see how he performs later. I hope he won't disappoint me!"
At this time, Li Mi's subordinates didn't have many talented people who could really handle things.
Wei Zheng is relatively powerful in Wen, but there is no telling whether he can be effective in Luodu.
After all, Li Mi was able to easily capture Luodu with the help of the wealthy families in the city, so he naturally had to pay a certain price.
As for martial arts, Li Mi has some talents under his command.
The leader is naturally Wang Bodang, followed by Shen Luoyan and Zu Junyan, as well as a group of officers and soldiers, who can still support a large force.
However, this is not enough.
The reason why Li Mi did not part ways with the Wagang Army was because he wanted to use the Wagang Army to fight against the Luodu family.
Of course, there are also worries about the big leader Zhai Rang and the second leader Wu Dong.
Even if it is just a face-saving invitation, under the premise that we are all brothers of Wagang, neither the main force of Wagang's army nor the men of Wu Dong, the second leader, will go to Luodu easily.
In this era, loyalty is not valued, but loyalty is highly valued. It is so strange.
For example, Zhai Rang, the leader of Wagang, once his reputation becomes bad, the blow to his own reputation will be serious. He generally will not play double-dealing tricks, especially against his own brothers.
No matter in history or in the Shuanglong world of the Tang Dynasty, Li Mi just didn't see this clearly. He regarded the fight for power in Wagang as an internal fight among the aristocratic families, and in the end he lost completely.
The Wagang generals were not his retainers, so how could they be willing to hang out with a capricious boss?
Sure enough, seeing that Wu Dong and Zhai Rang had no reaction, Li Mi stopped testing and concentrated on digesting what he had learned.
This time, he and his men were so full that they suffered from indigestion.
In particular, none of the cooperating aristocratic families are good people. If someone is not good enough, he will be beaten into pieces. You cannot be too careful.
Li Mi was quite smart. Although he was very wary of Wu Dong and Zhai letting the two giants pick peaches, he had no objection at all to the other veterans and generals of the Wagang Army going to Luodu to do things.
After all, Luodu was the imperial capital of the Sui Dynasty, and it was extremely prosperous and attractive.
There were indeed many veterans of the Wagang Army and some generals who were willing to go there to "enjoy the blessings", and Zhai Rang did not stop them after Wu Dong persuaded them.
"After all, Li Mi is flying under the banner of the Wagang Army. No matter what he thinks privately, at least he can't let others see that there is discord within the Wagang Army!"
"Luodu has fallen into the hands of the Wagang Army. We can't really ask Li Mi to fight against those wealthy families alone. We might as well support some people to go there!"
"Some brothers can share adversity but not wealth. We'd better not hinder others from enjoying power and wealth!"
"After that, Li Mi is likely to use troops directly against Guanzhong, which is the home base of the military aristocratic group. If he doesn't have enough strength, how can he shake the foundation of these guys?"
At this moment, Zhai Rang had quite the attitude of 'lying flat'.
Especially after seeing the tip of the iceberg of Wu Dong's territory, I no longer have any ambitions.
Since Wu Dong let him know this, it already explained a lot of things.
Wu Dong's preparations, or accumulation, are enough, and there will be big moves soon.
At this time, as the nominal boss of the Wagang Army, if he didn't wink, problems would easily arise.
Don't forget, Wu Dong had so many top-notch generals that Zhai Rang couldn't stand just two hot-blooded and impulsive guys.
The best course of action is to hand over the power of the Wagang Army to Wu Dong.
Regardless of the official history or the world of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, Zhai Rang has never been a master of great talents and great strategies. On the contrary, he still has the mentality of being rich and contented with his ideas.
Having been a Dharma Cao of the East County, he naturally understood that in troubled times, blocking other people's way would not end well.
Before, when the main force of the Wagang Army expanded, he felt a little uneasy.
Otherwise, would the talented and strategic leader give up the territory he had just conquered, and then turn around and give up the power of the entire Wagang main force to the second leader Wu Dong?
Apart from anything else, since the strength of his subordinates has developed to such an extent, there is still some necessary struggle.
But a bad operation could lead to death and destruction of the whole family. Zhai Rang did not have the courage to gamble with the entire family.
After seeing the tip of the iceberg of Wu Dong's strength, the low ambition in his heart instantly dissipated, and he planned to follow Wu Dong's request to walk around and take a look.
As for the official history or the Double Dragon World of the Tang Dynasty, it is unlikely that a conflict will occur.
Even Zhai Rang's brother and close aides did not dare to act rashly.
Wu Dong was not Li Mi who came up to the mountain later. He went up to the mountain not long after Wagang built the stronghold.
Because of his personality and skills, although his popularity is not great, his prestige is extremely high.
Facing Wu Dong and facing Li Mi are two completely different situations.
One bad move will cause many Wagang elders to attack in groups. Even Zhai Rang can't stand this.
It just so happened that Zhai Rang felt quite novel about everything in Wu Dong's territory.
He has never seen a situation where the development of rural areas is no worse than that of a sustained one.
Not to mention, the farmland water conservancy facilities, rural infrastructure, and things like Chidao he saw were simply not what an organization like the Rebels should operate.
It gave him the feeling that the governance of Wu Dong's territory seemed to be more formal than that of the government.
If Wu Dong could give all the elder brothers a safe escape route, Zhai Rang would not block Wu Dong's way, and he did not have the courage.
Zhai Rang was not only surprised by Li Mi's methods, but also felt chilled in his heart.
Damn it, Li Mi really didn't deserve to be a son of a man, and he got involved with the wealthy families in the Luodu area without any notice.
This made Zhai Rang understand that Li Mi's ambition was beyond his control.
It's better to abdicate early, otherwise you won't know how you will die in the future.
Smiling, Wu Dong sent Zhai Rang away, who was planning to take a stroll around to take a look. Wu Dong ignored Li Mi, who had just captured Luodu, and made a special trip to meet Qin Qiong and the others.
It can be seen that several new generals were in a bad mood regarding Zhang Xutuo's death.
All of them had gloomy expressions, and there was a sense of sadness all over their bodies that they would not be disturbed by strangers.
In fact, at this time, Qin Qiong had already realized why he felt something was wrong before.
Damn it, Shaolin wants to quell the "Golden Bell" incident, so at least a few of them have to get an invitation to the existence of the "Golden Bell" secret book.
If you don't tell them clearly in front of them, who knows if you plan to secretly target them in the future?
Obviously, Shaolin would not be so unwise, and there would naturally be gaps for his upper and lower hands.
Unfortunately, it was too late to react. Zhang Xutuo suddenly encountered himself when he returned to Luodu City under the protection of his personal guards, and the situation completely collapsed.
Even Luodu City fell into the hands of Wagang Army Li Mi.
Various previous signs indicate that all of this has something to do with Li Mi.
What a cold and poisonous snake. He did this without saying a word. He didn't know that such a thing existed, so how could he choose to join the Wagang Army...
Sorry, there are only two updates for the rest of the deduction process today.
