The Duke of Wei, Li Mi, lost his temper with a red face and distorted facial features. He smashed most of the items in the military tent, and even the solid wooden desk was broken into pieces.
"It's too much to bully others! It's too much to bully others! I was the first king to seek refuge with King Li, and now I am even more of a prince, and I want to assist a newly promoted marquis?!"
In addition to the beating, Li Mi was still angry and cursed loudly.
"This is ungrateful and burning bridges across rivers!"
"The cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey is cooked! Now that the Sui Dynasty is still here, King Li dares to do this..."
"Damn it! If it weren't for me, why would I be leaving the country today?!"
…
Li Mi cursed and vented to his heart's content, and several close confidants and guards outside the tent turned pale and became nervous and uneasy.
However, no one spoke up to advise, and they all knew that this was just Li Mi venting his anger. After all, Li Mi was Li Mi, and the city was very deep. There was nothing unusual about Li Mi before when King Li's special envoy delivered the order, and he would not do anything too extreme now.
.
What they had to do was to guard the surrounding area and prevent Li Mi's rebellious words from spreading.
Of course, they were more or less aggrieved by their lord Li Mi. You must know that among the four major kingdoms of Wei, Xia, Yan and Tang, Wei was the first force to surrender, and then they fully assisted Li Guo. Otherwise, how could Li Guo destroy Xia Guo so quickly?
Surrender the Yan State, surrender the Tang State?!
Now Li Mi just failed to conquer Tongguan, but he actually reduced Li Mi's power and asked a prince to obey the orders of a marquis. Isn't this humiliating?!
After a long meal, Li Mi finally calmed down with heavy breathing, and stood quietly in the messy tent with red eyes.
"Lord! Maybe we are overthinking it. After all, our army has fought without success for a long time and suffered heavy casualties. The Marquis of Zhenyuan is a world-famous general and is more suitable for military warfare... What he is doing now is just a show by King Li.
That’s it!”
Seeing Li Mi gradually calm down, Li Mi's confidant Chai Xiaohe bit the bullet and gave advice.
There was no way, Li Mi was a great literary scholar, and he was really good at politics, people's livelihood, planning, etc., but in terms of military and martial arts, he was not bad, but he was obviously not as good as Li Xiaogong.
It can be said that among the rebel kings, Li Mi originally favored the literary side, and his military prowess was indeed inferior to Dou Jiande, Luo Yi, and even the elegant Li Yuan, let alone Li Xiaogong, who was famous for his wars and had a great military power.
"No... Wang Li is just avenging a private revenge, and there is no tolerance for it!"
Li Mi's eyes were red, he shouted angrily, and then quickly added: "Don't forget, King Li and I have always had a personal enmity. Before accepting me, I probably had no choice but to do so. Now it seems that the world is about to be settled, King Li
I plan to burn bridges across the river..."
"This...can't be right?"
Everyone present in the old Wei Dynasty was shocked, Chai Xiaohe was even more nervous and hesitant.
"You think...can the Sui Empire stop the Li army?"
Li Mi smiled bitterly, shook his head, and looked around at his confidants with great ambivalence and asked.
"It's difficult..." Chai Xiaohe responded almost without hesitation.
The general trend is that no matter which way you look at it, no one thinks that only the Sui Dynasty in Guanzhong is the opponent of Li Guo.
"Really? The Great Sui Empire has an astonishing foundation. It still has many soldiers and generals, abundant food and wealth, and four gates to defend the country. There is no chance..."
Li Mi's face darkened, he was obviously conflicted, and he whispered in pain.
"Lord..."
Everyone was shocked. Some people saw Li Mi's thoughts and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"What do you think... what if we lead our army to defect to the Sui Dynasty? The big deal is, we can leave the country and become king, or we can go to Taihang and claim ourselves... Is that feasible?"
Sure enough, before anyone could say more, Li Mi asked excitedly with a strange light in his eyes.
"This...Lord, you must not..."
Everyone lost their countenance, Chai Xiaohe smiled bitterly and sighed secretly to persuade, and then quickly continued: "Now, except for the Guanzhong area, the rest of the world has returned to Liguo. Only the extreme north, overseas and several ancient mountains and forests are left. Does the lord want to imitate the previous dynasty?
A remnant of past dynasties? Once we leave, there is basically no possibility of counterattack in the Central Plains. The environmental conditions do not allow it at all, and it is even harder to escape the encirclement and interception of the Li army. How many troops and horses do we need to deal with the Li country's second government alone? "
Including the ancient barbarians, there are still countless large and small ancient tribes and tribes in today's Bashu, Lingnan, Nanfang, Overseas, Beiyuan and other places with high mountains and deep forests, and even huge mountain ranges such as Qinling and Taihang. They are basically remnants of the previous dynasty.
It is indeed difficult to destroy the imperial court.
However, it is difficult for those forces to develop. The first is population, the second is resources, and the third is exotic beasts.
"Hey... it's too late! I regret that I should have known that King Li was such a narrow-minded person. I shouldn't have..."
Li Mi let out a long sigh, sighing with regret and loneliness on his face, but he didn't finish his words.
"My lord, there is no need to worry. Our prestige and reputation are there. King Li can only suppress him at most. He shouldn't go too far. Staying is better than leaving..."
Chai Xiaohe's thoughts changed rapidly and he forced himself to advise. Seeing Li Mi frowning, he quickly and tactfully analyzed:
"I wonder if my lord has discovered that the main force of the Li Kingdom army that is besieging Guanzhong is the surrender of troops from all sides. Perhaps this is also what King Li is afraid of, and it is not for personal enmity?"
"Why……"
Li Mi sighed again and remained silent.
How could Li Mi, who was as wise as a ghost, not know what Chai Xiaohe and others were thinking?
All in all, one mistake will lead to eternal regret, and it's too late to say anything now.
If we had fought to the death and not surrendered as a whole, we would not have ended up in the situation we are in now.
Of course, Li Mi would not have thought that if he had not surrendered, he might have ended up like Xia King Dou Jiande.
Li Mi only knew that he was the first king to surrender to Li State, and he surrendered with tens of millions of troops. After that, he continued to fight in the south and north, and made great contributions to the stability of Li State. He should not be in the current situation, and should not be
It’s the current treatment, it shouldn’t be the current reputation, etc…
King Li is so sorry for him, he pretends to be the Lord of the Kingdom of Heaven!
…
Hongnong County, Hongnong County City.
After Li Wang Wuxin led his army to Hangu Pass, he stayed for one day, waiting for Emperor Mingxin Mingdie to lead the Wolong Army and the elite Nanman tribes to join forces, and then headed west.
It's not really a forced march, but it's a full-scale march. Except for necessary sleeping and eating, we are marching.
It was originally scheduled to arrive at Tongguan in three days, but now three days have passed before we reached Hongnong County.
The team, which stretches for dozens of miles, looks like a black dragon on the earth, pointing directly at Tongguan with great momentum.
"Um?!"
When Li Mi, Duke of Wei, became angry and rebellious, the "Vessage List" immediately changed, causing Wu's heart to beat abnormally and giving him some bad premonitions.
This was not what Wu Xin had expected, because in Wu Xin's memory of his previous life, Li Mi was a simpleton who could adapt to the wind and was good at exploiting camps. He rebelled and then surrendered, surrendered and then rebelled, until he played himself to death.
Now that he knew it, Wu Xin was naturally on guard, and had long since transferred many famous officials around Li Mi. Even the most loyal to Li Mi, the white-robed Divine Arrow Wang Bodang, Wu Xin had also been specially appointed as an imperial general, commanding an army by himself, and transferred away from Li Mi's side.
, let’s see how Li Mi keeps going!
As Wu Xin expected, Li Mi rebelled, otherwise the "Vessage List" would not have changed.
What makes Wu Xin strange is that the shadow of Wei Guogong Li Mi on the vassal list flickers in and out. This is a sign that Li Mi has made some changes but has not made a formal decision and has not officially rebelled.
What's going on?
Is this rebellion or not?
Wu Xin was a little confused.
There is a big difference between Li Mi and the previous Duke Wolong, Emperor Long.
Li Mi himself is a high-level genius, and his close confidants are basically middle- and low-level geniuses. Queen Changsun's talent is not easy to use, and she cannot secretly arrest too many Pushan Gongying and plot secretly, so she naturally cannot understand the specific situation at all times.
"Did anything happen to Duke Wei?"
After thinking about it, Wu Xin turned his head and looked at Eunuch Hua and asked.
In addition to paying close attention to the "vassal list", Wu Xin also sent the Shadow Mansion to monitor secretly and added heavy insurance.
"Nothing for the time being. There is no return at all. After the edict was delivered, Wei Guogong was furious and smashed his own military camp. However, there was no change. There was no abnormal reaction from the old Wei army..."
Father-in-law Hua was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded.
"oh?!"
Wu Xin responded with some confusion, but didn't say anything more.
Time has changed, and the current situation in the world is also different from what Wu Xin remembered in his previous life.
In Wu Xin's previous life, the Tang Dynasty only unified a small part of the country, and there were still countless forces causing rebellion, so Li Mi was unhappy and rebelled.
Now, except for Guanzhong, suppression has been carried out in various places, the food shortage problem has been solved, the people's hearts have returned, the situation is stable, and the important ministers and generals around Li Mi have been transferred by Wu Xin.
Li Mi is not stupid, so why betray him?
Looking for death?!
Even if he could still command some of the old Wei army, without enough talented generals to assist him, it would be difficult for Li Mi to lead an army of one million by himself.
Li Mi had some military ability to establish the Pushan Public Camp, but he was not a top general. The main reason was that he did not have such high military prestige. A dozen or two hundred thousand would be no problem, but any more would cause chaos. What would that army be used for? It is estimated that one
Rebellious, it is difficult to even leave the Lijun military camp!
"Pay close attention and speed up the march!"
In the end, Wu Xin could only give instructions and be on strict guard. He couldn't just kill Wei Guogong Li Mi in the name of betrayal for no reason, right?
Nowadays, most of the Li country's territory has just been conquered, and a small part of the Li army, civil servants and generals have also been newly conquered. If Li Mi is killed for no reason now, what will others think?
Isn’t everyone else in danger?
How long will it take to unify the world?
…
Five days later.
King Li finally arrived at the Li army camp outside Tongguan Pass.
The new East Road coach Li Xiaogong, deputy coach Wei Guogong Li Mi and others personally led the army to greet them, and there was no abnormality.
Wu Xin didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed.
You must know that if Li Mi was cruel and led his army into civil strife or surrendered to the Sui Empire, it might not cause much trouble, but it would definitely affect the Tongguan strategy and cause a lot of trouble.
However, since Li Mi did not betray him in the end, Wu Xin would not be so idle as to force him to betray him.
You know, the army of the Old Wei accounted for more than half of the army that attacked Tongguan, so the temporary stay of Li Mi was still very important!
When he first arrived, Wu Xin did not send troops rashly, nor did he storm Tongguan with great momentum. Instead, he ordered the entire army to rest and wait for military orders.
This is the great importance attached to Yugura, the king of heaven.
Wu Xin already knew a lot about Yu Juluo, and he also made a special effort to learn about it. This time he heard that Yu Juluo was guarding Tongguan, so he investigated and understood it in depth.
Yu Juluo, the Royal Heavenly King, has a well-deserved reputation, and the emphasis is on the word "Yu".
If we say that Taiping King Shi Long Live can control his army like water. Then Yu Juluo, the King of Heaven, can control his army like chess. He is quite similar to Han Xin, the legendary soldier immortal. He can control the army with his fingers, and his talent should be similar.
Able to command every soldier with extreme precision.
Facing such a person, a frontal attack is the stupidest behavior. Even if you rely on quantity and quality to attack, the result will definitely not be what any general wants to see, and the gain will definitely outweigh the loss.
This was also one of the main reasons why Wu Xin was angry with Li Mi. It really wasn't because of personal enmity. He was already King Li and was about to unify the world. Still thinking about that personal enmity was not what the Lord of Heaven should have.
However, Li Mi, who was passionate about fame and fortune and eager to make meritorious deeds, knew clearly that his military was not as good as Yujuluo's, and his opponent also had Xiongguan and Tongguan, which he could not defeat. He just ignored it, but he still attacked again and again, causing countless losses. Is this a qualified commander?
?!Selfishness is too obvious!
"Qi Shuhou (Zu Chongzhi), can climate change be accurate?!"
While the whole army was recuperating, Wu Xin, who seemed to be calm and unhurried, was actually quite impatient. He looked up at the clear sky and asked Zu Chongzhi again.
Everyone knows that Zu Chongzhi's calculations are so superb that no one can match them. Even Zu Chongzhi's mind is clearing up the mess of hundreds of millions.
However, not many people know that Zu Chongzhi is also very proficient in astronomy and is definitely the top astronomer. This is also related to mathematics.
"My king is wise, there will be heavy rain within three days, and I am willing to lead the military order!"
The white-haired Zu Chongzhi responded confidently and solemnly for the nth time.
Zu Chongzhi has studied the laws of nature all his life. He is not strong in military and political affairs, but he also understands that the matter is of great importance. How can he dare to make a guarantee if he is not sure?!
"Okay! If this battle is successful, the odd number will be the first to succeed!"
Seeing that Zu Chongzhi was so happy that he deserved it, Wu Xin responded with his hands on his hands, looked at the majestic pass that cut off the heaven and earth, and murmured:
"Yu Tianwang...Yu Juluo..."
Wu Xin had always regretted the cruel death of Shi Wansui, the Taiping Prince. However, although Shi Wansui had an arrogant personality, he was loyal to the Sui Empire.
Wu Xin knew that it was too difficult to recruit Shi Wansui, and he was eager to obtain the "Feng Yun Immortal Technique". Time was precious, so he reluctantly killed him.
Yujuluo, that’s different!
The most mysterious and powerful king of the Sui Dynasty, he was also a very popular minister. However, Yu Juluo was always jealous of the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and his life was not satisfactory.
It cannot be said that Yu Juluo is not loyal to the Sui Empire. He has persisted until now and is still serving as the most important guard of Tongguan, so there is no problem with his loyalty.
But compared to Shi Wansui, Yu Juluo still had hope of surrendering, and he was not yet deathly loyal to the Sui Empire.
A peerless general comparable to the military immortal Han Xin!
It would be stupid if Wu Xin didn't try his best to recruit and surrender.
Wu Xin is not Yang Jian or Yang Guang. He has always followed the principle of "don't use people you doubt and don't trust people you employ". He has always been looking forward to what miracles Yu Juluo can create when he explodes with all his strength!
