Chapter 1 Drum beat (two beats) The prey swallowed four fragrant baits one after another, then burped, patted its belly, and walked away before stepping into the trap. This ridiculous result made Li Mi almost go crazy.
He had prepared for more than a month in advance to completely annihilate the officers and soldiers who had come from afar. However, the officers and soldiers suddenly changed their goal. Instead of heading straight to Wagang as he had expected, they turned around and headed south, entering Dingtao.
Passing through Jiyin, they seized the old camp of Wang Dangren's tribe near Waihuang. Then they took the loot and prisoners and marched to Chenliu in a swaggering manner.
"Robbers, this group of robbers even robs the elderly and children of their food rations!" Wang Dangren stood next to Li Mi, jumping on his feet and yelling. Huangshizui Village is the lair he has been running for many years. In this poor place in Henan, except for Wagang
Outside the mountain, his Shizui Village was the most solidly built and the family he had accumulated was the strongest. However, the man who had been doing robberies for half his life was accidentally hacked by the government and the army, and all his savings over the years were gone. That was what he planned to do in Wa.
When the Gang army couldn't survive, they had to prepare supplies for setting up flags and drums alone. This time, there was no way out, so they had to follow the heroes of Wagang to the dark side.
"That Zhang Xutuo was originally a bandit. If the brothers fell into his hands, they would either be killed or sold to others as livestock herders. Anyway, they would not end well!" Qi Guoyuan once experienced the same pain as Wang Dangren.
, stepped forward, gritted his teeth and said, "Secretary, you have to regain your temper for the brothers. If it weren't for you, we might not have come here!"
This flattery was a bit too arrogant, which caused many heroes in the room to frown. Li Mi is a person who can achieve great things. No one denies this, but to say that the heroes of Wagang are all here for Li Mi is a bit embarrassing to Zhai Da.
The master didn't take it seriously. After all, the huge foundation was accumulated slowly by Master Zhai, Fourth Master Xu and others over the years. Without their sycamore tree, the other princes might not have been able to recruit Li Mi based on their strength.
Nine-Headed Phoenix
"Guoyuan, don't talk nonsense!" Hearing the noisy voice of his brothers, Li Mi raised his eyebrows, glared at Qi Guoyuan fiercely, and shouted that he was born with beautiful eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and he grew up among the rich and powerful, so there is no need to be angry.
It has its own majesty. "Now when the world is in chaos, it is the time when I and others work together to seek wealth and wealth. When we come to Wagang Mountain, we all come as a family. Whoever turns out to be stronger will never be mentioned again in the future."
! If we can seize Yang Guang's flowers and mountains and save the people from fire and water, why should we worry about not being able to mark our names in the annals of history? If we divide yours and mine every day, we don't need the army to suppress them, everyone will disperse themselves.
How much bigger can it be!"
"This, this, since the secret master said so, Qi will stop talking nonsense in the future!" Qi Guoyuan made the boss bored, cupped his hands, and said angrily
"It's not nonsense, but we have to take a long-term view. We are all people who want to do big things, and we can't care about it. Of course, I will find a way to slowly compensate for the losses you have suffered recently. I still have several properties in Hedong, and they have been recently
After sending someone to sell it, a fortune will be delivered to the mountain next month. It is probably worth about 200,000 guan. Dangren and Guoyuan will each share 30% of it, and the remaining 40% will be given to the generals who have suffered losses recently. Everyone will take this.
If you use the money to recruit troops, you should be able to make up for the shortfall of recent losses!"
"Thank you so much for your righteousness, Mr. Mi!" Seeing Li Mi scattering his family's wealth to benefit his brothers, several generals who had been angered by Qi Guoyuan's words were deeply moved. They took a few steps forward and said in a flurry of words: "Mr. Mi keeps it for himself."
Some, we still have some savings in the village. Besides, the brothers were just scattered, the actual casualties were not large!"
"That's right, life is as cheap as grass nowadays, and those who stutter will be followed, so there is no need for so much money!"
"Brothers, you should accept the money from me. Li Mi has never regarded himself as an outsider from the moment he went up the mountain." Li Mi threw his hands around and answered in a loud voice, "Besides, money is something external to the body. There is no need to take it too seriously. Let's spend it today and tomorrow."
By seizing the Yang family’s empire, you can earn back your capital and profits!”
"The secret master's advice is very good!" Wang Dangren was heartbroken just now because his old village was robbed, but now he felt a little embarrassed, "Since everyone has said that we should not distinguish between each other, I don't want my share. Let's recruit troops together and make his mother-in-law together."
The opposite!”
"Be responsible, this is not allowed! Our Wagang army has clear rules. Public is public and private is private. We work for the benefit of the world, but we can't let our descendants suffer poverty forever, right?" Li Mi smiled and shook his head to stop it.
The heroes are all upright men. If they were asked to spend their wealth for a great cause like Li Mi, it is estimated that more than half of them would agree. But Li Mi knew that he could not make such a request. The enthusiasm brought by a few kind words would not be sustained.
For a long time, he remembered the lesson of the last failed righteousness. When things were going smoothly, he might raise his arms high and respond like clouds rushing over from all directions. But if there was no actual benefit, they would float away like clouds if they encountered a slight setback.
There will be no nostalgia at all
Gentlemen act for righteousness, while villains act for benefit. When it comes to truly seeking unexpected things, you still have to rely on those short-sighted villains. Li Mi raised his head and glanced over the faces of more than thirty generals one by one. He saw different things.
Some expressions are exciting, some are moved, and some are as calm as ice.
People who are as calm as ice can see through his little tricks, but they can't stop him from gathering the heroes. Li Mi smiled, and finally laid his eyes on Xie Yingden's face, "Qi, a rare person for everyone, General Xie, can you introduce Zhang Xu?"
What is the latest move of the old thief Tuo? Did he continue westward after arriving at Chenliu, or did he turn around and head north?"
Xie Yingdeng was the original outpost commander of Wagangzhai, and now he and Zhang Liang under Li Mi were in charge of the intelligence collection and transmission of the Wagang Army.
Xie Yingdeng's methods are more meticulous and the intelligence he collects is more accurate. However, the scope of his business only involves the five counties around Wagang, which is far less extended than Zhang Liang's.
Seeing Li Mi changing the subject by discussing important matters, Xie Yingden secretly screamed in admiration, then smiled and said to the crowd, "Brothers, please come!" He still greeted everyone in the way of a wealthy person, and
Instead of using the official accent that is gradually becoming popular in the village, "According to the report from the spies stationed in Liang County yesterday, Zhang Xutuo loaded all the baggage and the looted money on the ship, and sent more than 2,000 people to Yingze along the Tongji Canal.
The cavalry is escorting on both sides of the canal, led by Li Xu and Luo Shixin. The rest of the infantry group goes west along the official road, taking Daliang, and marches about forty miles in the direction of Guancheng every day!"
"Are you sure?" Li Mi's eyebrows jumped slightly again and asked.
"Confirm! Several villages under our protection have sent letters with similar content and reminding us to be careful. The letter said that Zhang Xutuo's Qijun soldiers are more disciplined than any army they have seen before!" Xie Yingden nodded.
, confirm
Military discipline is the foundation of a team. Although the surrounding leaders often have tens of thousands of troops, Xie Yingdeng doesn't take them seriously. Compared with the commotion after Li Mi's arrival, Xie Yingdeng appreciates Xu Maogong's attitude when he was in charge of the army.
In his opinion, playing slowly and steadily is the way to do great things, and these people in front of him are not so much fighting as going to the market.
"This courageous old thief has a really keen sense of smell!" Li Mi shook his head regretfully and smiled bitterly.
"Since the baggage has left, people will surely follow as soon as possible!" Li Gongyi, the commander of the Yongqiu Camp, the strong general Li Gongyi, sounded a little lucky in his words. His old camp was in Heisong Ridge near Yongqiu, about 10 kilometers away from Chenliucheng.
Less than a hundred miles away, the terrain is much flatter than Wang Dangren's Shizui Village. If Zhang Xutuo knew the specific location, he would definitely have it copied.
The generals were talking a lot, some felt sorry for not being able to kill Zhang Xutuo as they wished, some were happy for not having to fight with the officers and soldiers, and some turned their attention to Xu Maogong, who was smiling silently, with a quite expression on his face.
Not angry
"If Military Advisor Xu was still responsible for controlling the overall situation, he would never play loudly and rain lightly." Some experienced generals, especially those belonging to the Wagangshan headquarters, secretly muttered, very disdainful of Li Mi's abilities.
"Come on!" Just as everyone was talking about it, Li Mi suddenly stretched out his hand and commanded majestically.
The imperial doctor Fang Yanzao came up with two staff members who had come from afar, pushed aside the tables and chairs, and hung a map made of several pieces of sheepskin on the wall of the Juyi Hall.
The noodles are made of Yangzhou soft leather, and the clean and elegant Yangzhou thin brocade seams are spread out, and the situation around the entire Wagang immediately comes to mind.
In an instant, even the generals in Laozhai on the north bank of the Yellow River saw clearly where the Qijun soldiers were at this moment. "After all, they are from an official family. No matter what they do, they are full of dignity!" The generals secretly praised in their hearts. In an instant,
In my heart, my admiration for Li Mi increased, and my suspicion decreased a few inches.
Li Mi, the Duke of Pushan, cleared his throat, shook his goose feather fan, and pointed to the country: "The officers and soldiers arrived strangely, and their departure was also strange. They had arrived in Zhencheng fifteen days ago. Li wanted to lure them deep, and in one fell swoop, he
Everyone wants to wash away the humiliation of being oppressed by the old thief for many years, but who would have expected that the old thief is as cunning as a fox! Before reaching Huiyang, he suddenly turned south to Dingtao. After hearing the news, he wanted to mobilize his troops to chase him.
It’s too late!”
"The general thought that this would be good. If the army retreats to Xingyang, we will have more time to reorganize the soldiers and eliminate the bad while retaining the good!"
But first he talked about the grudge between Zhang Xutuo and everyone, which was obviously a means to divert attention. But now that everyone is working hard for a common goal, Xie Yingden is willing to give him another step.
"Otherwise!" Li Mi shook his head and his voice suddenly changed, "Zhang Thief is the great pillar of the Sui Dynasty. If he is killed this time, the court will be shaken and the world will fall apart!" As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and his eyes showed deep emotion.
