It was time to return to the twelfth lunar month of the 13th year of Daye. I don’t know which snow was in 617. In the snow, the partial division of the Wagang Army, who was attacking Changpingcang, was defeated in disgrace.

The defeat of Zhai Hong and his son was natural. They did not understand the enemy's situation and were not worthy of the terrain, and they rashly entered the dangerous road of Wuhan. Before they could cross the 陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽陽

Under such circumstances, if Zhai Hong and his son can capture Changping, unless a miracle happens. However, because the mountainous people continue to come to rely on their own initiative, the number of troops in the partial division of Wagang quickly approaches 20,000. The proud and satisfied Zhai Hong and his son felt that their chances of winning were in hand, and they still foolishly fought at Hangu Pass and launched an attack on Hangu Pass City after several emergency repairs.

The result of the attack was purely to give Pei Xingfang and Xian Yuzhi newcomers to gain experience and credit. In addition, the elite Sui army under He Yanyu took action. The Hongnong army brought by Xian Yuzhi firmly defended Hangu Pass and drew Zhai Hong and his son who took the initiative to attack the attack were all over the ground. Then Yao Yi proposed to take a small path to attack the enemy behind the side division of the Wagang Army. Fortunately, Pei Xingfang kept in mind the instructions of his distant cousin and refused to fight an annihilation battle, and urged Commander-in-Chief Liu Changgong to give up this very sure tactical plan, change annihilation to counterattack, and succeeded in protecting the camp by night, defeating Zhai Hong and his son in one fell swoop, forcing them to abandon the camp and escape.

During the escape from the silence of the letter, some stories happened naturally. A team of cavalrymen who claimed to be Li Mi's subordinates stopped Zhai Hong and his son's defeated soldiers on the road, claiming that they came to greet Zhai Hong and his son on the order of Duke Wei, and asked to meet Zhai Hong and his son. When Zhai Hong and his son didn't know that they had just come forward, the team of cavalry suddenly shot out several cold arrows and almost shot Zhai Hong and his son, and then ran away, and soon escaped without a trace. Before he was shocked, Zhai Hong and his son saw that the personal soldiers who were shot around them had died of blood from their seven orifices, and the blood from the wound was still blue-black.

It is conceivable that Zhai Hong and his son were angry about this matter. They had just escaped from the Wuhanshe and returned to the main camp of the Wagang Army. They immediately pulled Zhai Rang to the door to ask for the crime. Li Mi was also furious. However, Li Mi was not angry at Chen Sangliang's sinister and viciousness, but the stupidity and stupidity of Zhai Hong and his son, and roared: "You are fools? Can't you see such a simple plan of disagreement? If I send someone to assassinate you, will the assassin act under my banner? Am I that stupid?"

The other generals of Zhai and Li coalition forces also thought that Li Mi could not be so stupid, but Zhai Hong and his son quickly pointed out that this was Li Mi's cleverness. "Mr. Wei, of course you are not stupid. You deliberately let your people act directly under your banner, which can create the illusion of the official army framed you. This is your cleverness. Otherwise, why don't you tell us that there are so many defenders in Changping's warehouse?"

The result of the dispute was that no one could tell. Li Mi did want to use a knife to kill Zhai Hong and his son, but he did not send anyone to shoot them in secret. Zhai Hong and his son were very suspicious that Li Mi wanted to kill them, but there was no evidence. In the end, everyone could only part ways. The conflict between Li Mi and Zhai Rang's family was gradually becoming more prominent. Zhai Rang's family began to worry that Li Mi would destroy them and take over the Wagang Army alone, and Li Mi also began to worry that Zhai Rang's father and his son would take action first, and suddenly attack him.

As in history, after the conflict between Li Mi and Zhai Rang gradually reached an irreconcilable point, a voice of first attack began to appear beside Li Mi. Shortly after Zhai Rang's family left angrily, Zuo Sima Zheng warned Li Mi, saying: "Duke Wei, although the matter of the officials and soldiers using tricks to disagree, Zhai Rang's family is ignorant, greedy and violent, and it is very likely that the assassin was sent by you. If you don't make a decision early, you are afraid that they will sooner or later harm you. Instead of letting them take action first, we might as well do big things first."

Li Mi was silent, and after a moment of sighing, he said, "The enemy is in front of him, Wang Shichong is invincible to defend Luokoucang, and Chen Yingliang's traitors are watching Dandan in Guanzhong again. At this time, they kill each other, and there is no gain in addition to ridiculing and being a waste of time."

"What Mr. Wei said certainly makes sense." Zheng nodded, and then said: "But Zhai Rang's family definitely don't understand such a truth. As long as there is a chance, they will definitely not worry about so many. The poisonous snake eats his wrist, the hero cuts his arms, and Mr. Wei, you must make a decision early to seize the opportunity."

Li Mi was silent again. At this time, a personal soldier suddenly came to report outside the tent, saying that Li Er sent the Yin Qing Guanglu envoy to ask for a meeting. Li Mi couldn't help frowning after hearing the name of Ren (pronunciation of the same as the pronunciation), and said in confusion: "Ren Wei Envoy? Send this famous lingering person to see me. What tricks does Li Erlang want to play?"

Seeing that Li Mi was so afraid of Ren, he hurriedly asked why. Li Mi replied casually: "Ren is the adopted son of Ren Mannu, the former general of Chen Zhendong, and is well-known for his ability to distinguish the tongue. After Li Yuan raised his army, he took the initiative to rely on him and surrendered to Hancheng, Feng Yi and more than ten cities including Li Yuan. He heard that Sun Hua, the largest rebel leader in Guanzhong, was also persuaded by him to surrender to Li Yuan. He was named Yinqing Guanglu Doctor as a general. He was very eloquent. Li Erlang sent him to see me, and he must have negotiated with me something."

"Mr., then don't see him. We don't need him anyway, Li Erlang does anything for us." Wang Bodang suggested.

"It's okay, I was just about to see how good this Ren's mouth is." Li Mi smiled confidently and said, "Besides, Li Erlang is of some use to us. At least he can restrain some of the Guanzhong troops. The enemy's enemy is a friend, so he can't be too neglected. See you, please come in.

The personal soldiers agreed, and in a moment, Ren, who had made great contributions to Li Yuan's rebels entering Guanzhong, was invited into Li Mi's tent. Just as Li Mi expected, Ren's appearance was elegant, polite and elegant demeanor, giving people a sense of trust. After meeting, Ren also obediently saluted Li Mi and said respectfully: "Li Shimin, the right governor of Taiyuan Yishishi, has met Duke Wei."

"Comfort and Pacification Envoy?" Li Mi intended to test Ren, but did not invite Ren to sit down, and asked in surprise: "Doctor Ren is here to recruit me for the Right Governor? I want me to take the initiative to join the Right Governor's account?"

"No." Ren shook his head, not dealing with Li Mi's stubbornness, and said with a smile: "The little envoy came to pay homage to Duke Wei today, not to comfort him, but to overthrow the great cause of the tyrant Yang Guang, and to eliminate the great troubles in his heart for Duke Wei."

"Take away the big troubles in my heart for me?" Li Mi sneered and asked arrogantly: "Who is worthy of being the big troubles in my heart?"

Ren smiled even more relaxedly and said, "A man helped the evildoer and accomplices the tiger. He killed tens of thousands of righteous men under the tent of Duke Wei for Yang Guang, which led to the millions of soldiers and civilians in the eastern capital Luoyang. He also used the power of the tiger. He used many troops under his command to be strong and his soldiers were sharp. He forced Duke Wei several times on the battlefield. Duke Wei occupied the tiger to seize Luokou and stationed troops outside the Eastern Capital, but because he was concerned about him, he could not advance westward. Isn't he worthy of being called Duke Wei's big trouble?"

The sneer on Li Mi's face finally disappeared. Instead, she was still surprised and curious. She asked in surprise: "Can you get rid of this thief?"

"I wonder if Mr. Wei has heard of Yang Yichen's story?"

Ren did not answer the question, and asked and answered himself, and introduced with a smile: "Yang Yichen's original surname was Yuchi. Because the late emperor made many merits and made many military achievements, he was given the surname Yang and included the royal family genealogy. Yang Yichen was also loyal to the emperors of the Sui Dynasty. He resisted the Turks in the north, settled Yang Liang in the south, fought against Tuyuhun in the west, and fought against Goguryeo in the east. He was invincible and invincible. Xiang Haigong, Gao Shida, Ge Qian and Zhang Jincheng, all anti-Sui Yichen lost his hands. Dou Jiande, the king of Changle, who is now across Hebei, was beaten by him for a time, and only more than one hundred cavalry left to the end of the world. However, at this moment, the tyrant Yang Guang suddenly summoned him to Jiangdu and changed him to the Minister of Rites. He also died in office. I wonder if the story behind the scenes of Wei Gong?"

Ren asked Li Mi this question. When Yang Yichen suddenly fell, Li Mi had already invaded the enemy. The sources of information in the officialdom were provided by his brother-in-law Qiu Junming, and the later secret help from Li Yuan family, so naturally he could not know the reason behind Yang Yichen's sudden collapse. After hesitating for a while, Li Mi put away his arrogance and first asked Ren to sit down, then bowed to Ren and said, "I really don't know about this, so I'll ask the doctor to teach me."

"I dare not take it." Ren bowed and returned the favor, and then said: "Reported to the Mi Duke, Yang Yichen was suddenly recalled to Jiangdu and changed his position to civil servants, all because of a slander by Yu Shiji, the Minister of Internal Affairs. After Yang Yichen sent the memorial to Jiangdu, he was jealous of his great achievements. Yu Shiji was jealous of his great achievements and made a slander in front of Yang Guang, saying that Yang Yichen had heavy troops outside and had to be guarded. Yang Guang became suspicious and issued an order to let Yang Yichen disband the army and return to the court to serve. Yang Yichen became angry and died shortly afterwards."

Everyone knows how bad Li Mi is. After hearing Ren’s words, how could he still not understand what he and Li Er mean? When he was so upset, Li Mi calculated and asked, “What are you going to do?”

"It's very simple. Just ask Duke Wei to post this manifesto to the county and county town that has already been attached to you." Ren smiled and took out a manifesto, held it up with both hands, and said, "Of course, it's better to ask Duke Wei's soldiers to take the risk and post this manifesto to the city gate of the eleventh gate of the Eastern Capital."

Li Mi took the manifesto quietly. When he opened it, he saw that the general content of the manifesto was as follows: "Chen Yingliang, the general of the Right Martial Guard, is willing to inform the world with his faith: Yang Guang is unrighteous, and he is respectful, and he is exhausted from the bamboo in the south mountain. His crimes have not been exhausted. He will punish the waves of the East China Sea. The evils are hard to be over. He should abdicate and give up the virtuous and live in seclusion behind the scenes. The royal family Yang Xingji shines brightly and has a broad love for all directions. He will be the new king. Now I am in the heaven and the people will be promoted to comfort the hopes of the people. On the day of the announcement, everyone should submit their orders to the new king. If they are not, they should destroy the nine clans and tell them to the news first. I would like to know."

Looking at the forged Chen Sangliang manifesto repeatedly, Li Mi asked in a pondering manner: "Who is Yang Xingji?"

"His highness Dai's distant cousin." Ren Rushi replied: "In Daxing City, his blood relationship with His Highness Dai was closest. After His Highness Dai was unfortunately killed by Chen Yingliang's troops, our general wanted to support him as the emperor, but before he could do anything, the general was already killed by Chen Yingliang."

Li Mi stopped talking and thought for a moment. Li Mi suddenly laughed and said, "I didn't expect that the Right Governor was not old and his scheming could be so deep. What a plan to blame Jiangdong. If I fall into the trap, Chen Yingliang's little thief will immediately bring Daxing troops to fight me."

"Why did Duke Wei say this?" Ren Ming asked knowingly.

"It's not simple?" Li Mi sneered and said, "If I help you frame Chen Yingliang's dog thief to rebel and try to imitate your general to depose Yang Guang and establish the new emperor, then once Yang Guang and Yang You in the Dongdu City were trapped, they would inevitably ask Chen Yingliang if there was such a thing. In order to prove his innocence, Chen Yingliang's little thief had any choice besides returning to the Dongdu immediately? He brought his elite troops down, Guanzhong was empty, and I faced a strong enemy. Wouldn't your chance come?"

Hearing Li Mi's words, Li Mi's subordinates immediately glared at Ren, but Ren smiled and bowed, "Duke Wei, our right governor knew that you would definitely think so, so he specially sent a small envoy to come for you to inquire at any time. Yes, we really hope that the little thief Chen Yingliang will return to Dongdu and make Guanzhong empty again, but why don't you think about it? With Chen Yingliang's treacherous thief Chen Yingliang's treacherous thief, how dare you let Guanzhong Daxing, surrounded by powerful enemies, and personally lead the main force back to Dongdu? He is not afraid that as soon as he left, our right governor, Tianshui Xue Ju, Hexi Li Gui, would you kill to Daxing Guanzhong?"

Li Mi closed her mouth and thought to herself, "It's possible that Chen Yingliang's little thief would not dare to return to the army at this time. As soon as he left, jackals, tigers and leopards such as Xue Ju, Li Gui and Li Erlang, he could enter Daxing, Guanzhong with his back."

Seeing Li Mi's sarcastic expression disappear, Ren took the opportunity to say, "Donald Wei, please think about it. With the current situation of Guanzhong Daxing, Chen Yingliang's dog thieves would never dare to return to the army and leave Guanzhong easily. But Yang Guang, once Yang You was trapped and summoned him to return to the army, he would be in a dilemma. If he didn't return to the army, he would be afraid of the monarch, and his subordinates would suspicion. If he returned to the army, he would be empty and his flaws would be revealed in the rear. At that time, no matter whether he refused to return to the army, repeat Yang Yichen's mistakes, or just led a few troops to return to the Dongdu, wouldn't it be the best opportunity for Duke Wei to get rid of his great troubles?"

Li Mi began to shake and thought to himself that, with Yang Guang's bear and donkey temper, once he became suspicious of Chen Yingliang's little thief, he would definitely remove his military power. In case of this, Chen Yingliang's little thief was the end of Yang Yichen's decree. If he did not accept the order, he would attract thousands of men to criticize him, and his subordinates would even question him, and he might even be criticized by Yang Guang's old man. Unless he was willing to throw himself away from Daxing in Guanzhong, he would have to lead a few elite troops back to Dongdu to express his loyalty. Without those brave generals who can fight well, I can strangle him to death with one hand.

"Duke Wei, what makes Chen Yingliang terrible is not that he is scheming and undefeated in a hundred battles, but that the tyrant Yang Guang favors and trusts him." Ren continued to instigate: "Chen Yingliang was able to dig up quickly in four years because of the appreciation and promotion of Yang Guang, Fan Zigai, Wei Xuan and others. He asked for troops to give power, power, money, food, weapons and weapons, and finally entrusted him with the important task of staying in Dongdu. It was through these support that Chen Yingliang has come to this day. Now that Fan Zigai, Wei Xuan and others are dead, if Yang Guang becomes suspicious of him again, what else do you think he has hope?"

"As for Duke Wei, you just said that our right governor wanted to blame Jiangdu, but the little envoy hadn't finished it." Ren said in a tone of earnest teaching: "If our right governor really has this plan, why don't he act directly by himself? Is it difficult to send a few warriors who are not afraid of death to sneak into Dongdu to post these manifestos? Since our right governor can do it directly, why do you still ask you to act on your behalf? It's not just to let you know about this and prepare for the response in advance. The original intention was to work together to overthrow the tyrant Yang Guang's anti-Sui cause. Didn't Wei Duke think of this?"

Ren's eloquence is indeed great. Li Mi couldn't help but agree in his heart, thinking that his words were very reasonable. After a little calculation, Li Mi nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you. I immediately ordered someone to post the manifesto everywhere, and then ordered someone to post it at the Eleventh Gate of Dongdu at night. But..."

Speaking of this, Li Mi smiled slightly and said to Ren: "But you, the right governor, have any other tricks, and have come up with some sinister vicious plan to force Chen Yingliang to lead the main force out of seclusion. Then I will be cheated by you."

Ren Yi was shocked and said he didn't dare to say that he was afraid, and he sneered in his heart: "It's true that he was treacherous but it's a pity that you have fallen into a trap. You don't think about it. If it weren't for the road blocking, our secret envoy would not be able to go south, and he would not have the power to post the manifesto to the counties outside the pass to let old Yang Guang know the existence of this manifesto, we still need to ask you to help spread the manifesto?"

Ren Ye looked at Li Mi a little bit and sent him to the camp to rest. Li Mi threw the manifesto to Zu Junyan, who was famous for his literary talent, and said with a smile: "Change this manifesto, and the intention of Chen Yingliang's little thief and Li Yuan's family to join forces to depose Yang Guang and support Yang Xingji, so that Yang Guang and Yang You and others will know that Chen Yingliang's little thief had secretly colluded with Li Yuan's two precious sons, as well as the Pingling Dou family behind Li Yuan, and are ready to overthrow their court."

"Miscellaneous," Zu Junyan's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "Mr. Wei's plan is great. In this way, once the tyrant and Yang Tong are suspicious, Chen Yingliang's little thief will have two choices to return to Guanzhong and advance to Hedong in order to prove his innocence. Our army is strong and the Li family is weak. Chen Yingliang's little thief will definitely attack Hedong first and will not go back to the Dongdu first, so that we can free up our hands to deal with Wang Shichong in front of us and Yang Tong in the Dongdu city."

"We have freed up our hands. Not only Wang Shichong and Yang Tong, but also an enemy." Li Mi said lightly.
