Zhai Rang was indeed relieved to let Li Mi go and take charge. But the problem was that Zhai Rang was now wary of Li Mi. When Li Mi first came, he was just a military advisor who went to Zhai Rang. In a short period of time, Li Mi relied on his
Born into a noble family, with his vision and knowledge, he managed to gather a group of people, and only Li Mi followed suit.
In the original Wagang Village, Zhai Rang was respected. No one would go against Zhai Rang's orders.
But now, it's different.
Even though on the surface, he respected Zhai Rang, in fact, Zhai Rang could not make the decision many times, because Zhai Rang could not refuse what Li Mi proposed.
This formed a pattern, and Li Mi was now able to compete with Zhai Rang.
So Zhai Rang was unwilling to let Li Mi go.
Once Li Mi kills Zhang Xutuo, his strength in Wagang Village will definitely increase again, and Li Mi's prestige will surely rise to a higher level. Under such a premise, Zhai Rang is on guard against Li Mi.
I don’t want Li Mi to become powerful.
Zhai Rang's concerns fell into Xu Shiji's eyes.
Xu Shiji said seriously: "Da Longtou, in this situation, only Mi Gong can calm the situation. So now, Mi Gong must go in person. Da Longtou, please allow Mi Gong to lead his troops."
As soon as these words came out, Zhai Rang immediately understood.
He looked at Li Mi, but there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
As Xu Shiji said, it is really only Li Mi who is most suitable to go. Because in terms of origin, ability, and influence, Li Mi now needs to go in person. Only in this way can the crisis on the front line be solved.
This is something that can't be helped.
Even though Zhai Rang didn't want Li Mi to go, he still couldn't stop him.
Zhai Rang looked at Li Mi and said: "Mi Gong, the battle on the front line is of vital importance. Now, I leave everything to you."
With a faint smile on his face, Li Mi said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Don't worry, Da Longtou, I will definitely handle things well. I will not only defeat Zhang Xutuo, but also Wang Can. I, Wagang Village, will definitely overthrow Da Longtou."
Sui."
There was a deep sense of confidence in his words.
This is Li Mi’s confidence.
This is also Li Mi’s ambition.
Zhai Rang smiled and said: "I believe in the Secret Master."
Li Mi changed the topic and said: "Da Longtou, this time I am going on an expedition. I not only need to mobilize troops, but also need the cooperation of strong generals. Therefore, for this battle, I implore Da Longtou to mobilize Yao Jin, Shan Xiongxin, and Xu Shiji to help me. There are three of them.
With our help, I will surely win a complete victory this time when I go to fight Zhang Xutuo."
When Zhai Rang heard this, he frowned again.
Unexpectedly, Li Mi actually wanted to transfer his direct descendants.
Zhai Rang was unhappy in his heart, but the problem was that Zhai Rang had no reason to refuse at all, so he could only nod his head and said: "Since Mi Gong requested it, Cheng Yaojin, Shan Xiongxin, and Xu Shiji, the three of you, will obey Mi Gong's dispatch."
"yes!"
Cheng Yaojin and the three others all responded.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Li Mi said no more and immediately went to prepare for the dispatch of troops.
In just half an hour, everything was sorted.
The army set out and hurried on in great might.
The place where Zhang Xutuo and Wagangzhai troops fought on the front line was called the Xiaoqinglong River. Both sides were stationed on the north banks of the Xiaoqinglong River. However, one was stationed slightly upstream and the other was stationed slightly downstream.
The two armies were stationed and faced each other.
Li Mi led the army on the road. As evening approached, the army temporarily stopped to rest. Li Mi did not rest, but immediately called Cheng Yaojin, Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin, Wang Bodang and others to his subordinates to discuss matters.
Li Mi looked around at the crowd and said, "Everyone, I won't hide anything from you. I am sure of winning in the next battle with Zhang Xutuo, because Zhang Xutuo is a headstrong person who can easily scheme. But the problem is, Wang Can
But it's different. Because Wang Can is also going south, it's not easy for us to deal with Wang Can."
When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement.
They also agreed with Li Mi's words.
It is easy to deal with Zhang Xutuo, but it is not easy to deal with Wang Can.
After all, the war in Liaodong was under the direct command of Wang Can. When such a person suddenly came to Henan, Li Mi, Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin and others were all under great pressure.
Li Mi said: "As the saying goes, listening to both sides will lead to enlightenment, and partial belief will lead to darkness. Now when it comes to going to war with the Sui army, even I am not sure. Therefore, we need to brainstorm. If you have any ideas, it doesn't matter. Let's discuss them carefully.
, think more before the war to avoid mistakes on the battlefield."
Xu Shiji said: "Mi Gong, what are you going to do in this battle with Zhang Xutuo? As Mi Gong said, we need to get rid of Zhang Xutuo before Wang Can arrives. Otherwise, everything will stop."
All eyes fell on Li Mi.
Li Mi said: "My method is to attack head-on, pretend failure to lure the enemy deeper, and finally ambush Zhang Xutuo. Because Zhang Xutuo has been invincible in his conquests over the years. He has always been invincible in every battle."
Gram’s.”
"Such a situation made him too arrogant."
"Think you can do anything."
"Not afraid of ambushes."
"Zhang Xutuo, in particular, is stubborn and self-righteous. Let's leave part of our troops to the rear, and then I will personally lead the army to attack Zhang Xutuo head-on."
Li Mi's eyes were sharp and he said: "The two sides fought. After we fought for a while, we retreated directly and pretended to be defeated. Zhang Xutuo has always been extremely strong. When he saw an opportunity, he would quickly pursue us. When we retreated to the ambush point, we all
The army will attack from a pincer attack. In this case, Zhang Xutuo will definitely be defeated. If he falls into our encirclement, Zhang Xutuo will inevitably die."
After Xu Shiji listened, he deduced it carefully in his mind.
He agreed with Li Mi's analysis.
In particular, Xu Shiji has been using intelligence from various parties to find out about Zhang Xutuo. Based on all the information compiled, Xu Shiji also believes that Zhang Xutuo is self-willed and can use methods to lure the enemy deeper.
Xu Shiji nodded in agreement, Shan Xiongxin and Cheng Yaojin naturally had no objections.
The rest of the people who were affiliated with Li Mi also agreed.
Li Mi changed the topic and said: "Since none of you have any objections, then in this battle, we will proceed according to the strategy of luring the enemy deep, and finally ambush Zhang Xutuo halfway."
After a pause, Li Mi said: "The most important thing is the battle with Wang Can. Once we lose this battle, Wagang Village will be completely destroyed. So we must win this battle. But, we
How to win? Do you have any strategies?"
Cheng Yaojin said: "Mi Gong, that's what you say. Whatever you say, we will do it. After all, when we came here, the leader gave us an order to follow your orders."
Shan Xiongxin also said: "I have the same attitude."
Uncle Wang said: "Secretary, please stop discussing it. Just tell me what to do."
Li Mi smiled slightly and said: "Bodang, what are you talking about? A confrontation on the battlefield is a small detail, which is enough to lead to the defeat of a war. Discussion is an indispensable link and the most critical investigation.
Fill in the gaps.”
After a pause, Li Mi looked at Xu Shiji again and said, "Mr. Xu, what do you think?"
To be honest, Li Mi attaches great importance to Xu Shiji among everyone.
He thought Xu Shiji was talented.
He is a person who can make plans, so Li Mi's heart is to poach Xu Shiji from Zhai Rang's subordinates. In this way, he will have powerful advisers around him.
Xu Shiji said seriously: "Mi Gong, actually we don't know much about Wang Can's power. Back then, Wang Can killed warriors from various countries in the Western Regions in Luoyang. Other than that, there is very little news."
"As for Liucheng County, Wang Can's land reform is nothing."
"Even when it came to the crusade against Goguryeo, Wang Can was always in Liucheng County and did not go to the front line in person. So we don't know Wang Can's military style or what he will do."
Xu Shiji said: "My humble suggestion is that we don't know Wang Can's military style now. So we should first kill Zhang Xutuo, and then adopt a full-line defensive posture to resist Wang Can's attack."
Li Mi thought for a while and said: "Mr. Xu's suggestion is indeed sound. The top priority is that after we kill Zhang Xutuo, we will be powerful enough to call on the people of the world to resist the Sui Dynasty. As for Wang Can's army, once we
If it is blocked, then we, Wagang, will have a complete foothold."
Xu Shiji said: "Mi Gong Ming Jian."
Li Mi stroked the beard under his chin and his eyes fell on Xu Shiji, his eyes showing an unabashed look of approval.
He hopes to recruit Xu Shiji.
But right now, there is no such opportunity.
Li Mi was always patient when doing things, so he was not in a hurry to summon Xu Shiji. Especially this time when he was fighting with the officers and soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, Li Mi could take this opportunity to have a good conversation with Xu Shiji.
In this way, it is easier to get closer to Xu Shiji.
Li Mi changed the topic and said: "Now that we have decided on the strategy, I won't say much. Tomorrow the army we lead will arrive at the front line beside the Xiaoqinglong River. We have to rush on the road tomorrow, so everyone, please go early
Let’s go down and rest.”
"Here!"
Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin, Cheng Yaojin and others all got up and walked out.
However, Wang Bodang stayed at the back.
After everyone left, Wang Bodang did not leave in the end. He returned to sit in front of Li Mi. His eyes were sharp and he said seriously: "Mi Gong, although Xu Shiji has some knowledge, Shan Xiongxin and Cheng Yaojin also have some abilities.
.”
"But if you bring them with you, doesn't that mean you are restraining yourself? Their existence will affect what we do. So I think you shouldn't bring them with you."
"This is self-inflicted."
Wang Bodang's face was full of disapproval.
Li Mi smiled and said: "Bodang, if you want to do big things, you must have a big heart. Even if Xu Shiji and others are Zhai Rang's people, can't they be won over? You have to remember that only by embracing all rivers can we achieve success.
