Yang Guang stared hard at the word "Li Mi" on the memorial, his eyes almost bulging out of his head because of the anger in his heart that was racing all over his body.

He originally wanted to remain as deep and calm as an emperor, but when he saw Li Mi's name, he felt angry. How dare that poor man... dare to rob his granary?

Are you still opening warehouses to release grain to help the people?

"Damn it." Yang Guang picked up the memorial and threw it out.

All the ministers knelt down quickly, too frightened to express their anger.

"Pei Renji actually dared to kill my supervisors and sacrifice Hulao City. His crime is unpardonable. I ordered Dali Temple to arrest all his family and relatives and punish the nine tribes. If anyone kills Pei Renji with my own hands, I will make him a general.

"

"Nine generations of Li Mi's relatives and all those who have close contact with him are all arrested and awaiting disposal. Anyone who kills Li Mi will be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households." "Promote Wang Shichong to be the envoy of Henan Province to fight against arrests, and immediately lead an army of 30,000 to Luokou to conquer Wagang.

Rebel."

"Order Zhang Xutuo, the governor of Xingyang County, to lead his troops from Xingyang and cooperate with Wang Shichong to outflank the Wagang rebels."

...

Orders were issued from the Luoyang Palace, and the troops quickly gathered and headed for Luokou.

Hearing that Zhang Xutuo was coming to suppress him, Zhai Rang was so frightened that he couldn't even hold his teacup steady and it broke to the ground.

"Quickly inform everyone, pack up and prepare to break camp and return to Wagang Village. We will set off after dark."

Li Mi came after hearing the order and hurriedly stopped Zhai Rang: "Mr. Zhai, you cannot return to Wagang Village at this time.

"In the past few days, we have opened warehouses to distribute grain and provide relief to the people, and have achieved remarkable results. All the surrounding forces have responded to our call and joined Wagang. Our forces are growing rapidly, and soon, we will have

There are hundreds of thousands of people and horses. When the time comes, why should we fear the Yang family of the Sui Dynasty?"

Zhai Rang refused to listen. He only knew that he and Zhang Xutuo fought more than thirty times, large and small, and none of them were victorious. If he had not been lucky, he might have died at the hands of Zhang Xutuo.

No, Zhang Xutuo is here and he must leave.

Although he was extremely frightened in his heart, Zhai Rang, as the leader of Wagang Village, remained calm on his face: "You played a huge role in capturing Hulao City and Luokou Cang this time.

"From today on, you can build your own camp and have your own number.

"You have been in my Wagang village for a while. Don't say I didn't take care of you. Let's do this. I will take away as many people as there are people coming out of Wagang. The remaining people will belong to you.

"Now that we have enough food, it's time for me to return to Wagang. Pu Shanggong wants to expand and doesn't want to go back, so just let Pu Shanggong do what he wants, and you and I will say goodbye."

Li Mi wanted to persuade him again, but then he thought that Zhai Rang was too timid and would be a burden to stay here. It would be better to part ways and he would have nothing to worry about.

With this in mind, Li Mi pretended to be reluctant and said: "Mr. Zhai has made up his mind, and I can't force him. Let Li say goodbye to Mr. Zhai and thank you for your kindness in taking him in and your care."

In this way, Zhai Rang patted his butt and fled back to Wagang with enough food, grass, soldiers and horses, while Li Mi continued to recruit troops in Luokou.

Mayi is adjacent to the river to the east. When Li Yuan arrived at Mayi, the Turks were besieging Mayi from three sides. It looked like Mayi could no longer hold on.

But Li Yuan was in a bit of trouble, because the Turkic cavalry were brave and powerful, and their morale was at a high at this time. He had just returned from a long journey, and the soldiers were tired and their physical strength had not yet been restored. It was not a good time to rescue Mayi at this time.

Seeing Li Yuan's hesitation, Li Shimin added: "Aye, if we don't save him right now, Mayi will be lost. Before the Turks notice, we can outflank them from behind and catch them off guard."

Li Yuan glanced at the cavalry behind him, "But look at them. They are all exhausted. They have no chance of winning against the Turkic cavalry."

"I'll go."

Luo Shixin stood up and said to Li Yuan: "Since I have followed Duke Tang, I should charge into the battle for Duke Tang. Duke Tang, I am willing to take the lead and fight a bloody path for Duke Tang."

Regarding the origins of Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong, Li Shimin explained everything to Li Yuan, and Li Yuan had no other choice but to scold him for condoning Wang Yu's nonsense.

But these two people were different from Cheng Zhijie and the others. Although Cheng Zhijie and the others were also captured, he had already seen their bravery on the battlefield. Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin had just arrived, and he had not seen them yet.

When Li Yuan saw Luo Shixin again, he was tall, lean and frail, and not as old as a young man. He felt a little disdainful, and his expression showed something: "You? I'm afraid your body can't even withstand armor.

, let alone fighting."

Luo Shixin was furious, so he immediately put on two pairs of armor, hung four pots of arrows, and flew on his horse.

Li Yuan was startled for a moment, then praised him and allowed him to fight.

The brothers asked for a fight, and Qin Qiong naturally wanted to accompany him life and death, so he also asked Li Yuan for a fight.

Duan Zhixuan saw how he could let two outsiders steal the show and immediately asked for a fight.

With a few of them taking the lead, the others were so excited that they all asked to fight as if they had been given blood.

Li Yuan's cavalry was not weak to begin with, and now that he had regained his morale, he felt a little more confident.

"Okay, then we will divide our troops into three groups. One group will be led by Erlang, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, and others to attack from the north. The other group will be led by Liu Hongji, Tang Jian, and others to attack from the west. I will lead the remaining people to attack from the south."

A battle plan was formulated, and the troops were divided into three groups to attack Mayi.

Luo Shixin took the lead. Recalling the way Li Yuan looked down on him just now, he felt a fire in his heart and felt extremely aggrieved.

Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin felt the same way when their brothers were looked down upon by others, which meant that they were looked down upon by others. They galloped into the enemy formation and fought their way forward.

The Turkic cavalry hurriedly turned around to fight, but saw that Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin were very vicious, killing dozens of people in a row.

Luo Shixin beheaded a Turkic general, threw it into the air, caught it with a spear, and walked in front of the formation.

The Turks were stunned and did not dare to approach.

Li Shimin took advantage of the situation to attack and defeated the enemy.

But Luo Shixin went on a rampage, cutting off the nose of every person he killed and hiding it. For a while, the Turks avoided him like snakes and scorpions, running for their lives in panic.

Cheng Zhijie from the south also took the lead, rushing to the front, killing all the way through the pass, and ascending first with his flag. The bright flag fluttered on the city wall, which frightened the Turks and gave Mayi's soldiers full of hope.

In this battle, the Turks were defeated and fled, and the Sui army looted countless military supplies.

Wang Rengong, the governor of Mayi, and Gao Junya, the deputy governor of Taiyuan, came out of the city to welcome Li Yuan. They cried with joy as if they were seeing a relative: "Tang Gong, you are finally back..."

Li Yuan did not expect that he would win this battle so easily. Later he found out the reason after discussing merit and rewards. It was because there were several more generals.

Qin Qiong and others can defeat hundreds of people by themselves. They are all brave and fearless. How can the Turks not be afraid?

"Bang."

Luo Shixin threw a sack on the ground and said to Li Yuan: "Mr. Tang, Luo is very thin. He didn't kill many Turkic dog thieves today, only this few.

"It's funny."

Everyone looked over.

Luo Shixin picked up the bottom of the sack and poured it over until all the contents were poured out. He then threw the sack aside.

Li Yuan looked at the ground, and saw that there were densely packed hills of bloody noses. A strong smell of blood penetrated his nose, which made his stomach churn and he almost vomited it out.

"Tang Gong, there are 1,666 noses here, all of them are the noses of the Turkic thieves I killed."

"..."

What does "only kill so many people" mean? Counting the number of heads killed, it was already the first military achievement of this battle.

Also, what does "frail body" mean? He obviously still remembers the grudge that he didn't take Luo Shixin seriously before.

Li Yuan was speechless for a moment, but to be able to obtain such a powerful general, those little things were not worth mentioning in comparison.
