Turbulent Times Chapter 1477: The calm Xu Shiji
“So that’s how it is.” Zhai Rang suddenly realized, and said solemnly: “The Poison King really has great powers, and he even knows about it.”
Li Mi frowned tightly, and said: “The Poison King also has expert advice, and now the Far East Army wants to force us to hand over Zhang Xutuo’s body by means of alienation. They will think that we don’t care about their life and death, but Zhang Xutuo’s corpse must not be said about luck, and only Brother Zhai and the younger brother know about Wagangzhai, otherwise there will be many people talking about it. People from all walks of life in the world know that our Wagang Village will surely become the target of public criticism. At that time, not only the Far Eastern Army will attack, Li Yuan from Hedong, Zhu Can, the ogre king from Huainan, Du Fuwei, Liang Shidu from Jiangnan, and Luoyang. The people of the Sui Dynasty and Yangzhou will come to kill them.”
When Zhai Rang heard this, he stood up abruptly, and said firmly, “Don’t say any more, Mr. Mi, Zhang Xutuo’s body must not be handed over. This news can only be from you and me.” I know, if the brothers below think that we don’t care about their lives, they will say that it is my decision.”
Li Mi got up and bowed deeply to Zhai Rang, a look of pride and sarcasm flashed in his eyes, and when he raised his head, he looked grateful and respectful, and said solemnly: “Brother Zhai is benevolent and righteous, and I admire you.”
……
……
After successfully fooling Zhai Rang, Li Mi summoned all the people in charge of Wagang Village in the Juyi Hall.
Li Mi sat at the main seat, and there was an empty seat next to him, which was Zhai Rang’s seat. Xu Maogong sat first on his left, and after Xu Maogong was Cheng Yaojin with a big beard and a big face. After Yaojin is Xie Yingdeng, the chief inspector, and Shan Xiongxin, who went up the mountain two years ago, sits in the middle on the left.
On Li Mi’s right hand are a group of civil servants.
“Brother Xie, let everyone know the latest information about the Far East Army that you will commit crimes in the future.” Li Mi glanced at the crowd and said loudly.
“Obey.” Xie Yingdeng was neither humble nor overbearing. He seemed to respect Li Mi, but he had a touch of arrogance.
Xie Yingdeng was born in the famous Xie family in the south of the Yangtze River. He is a man of both civil and military skills, and he is also someone Li Mi values very much, but not
Similar to Zhai Rang and those civil officials who came to vote, Xie Yingdeng, Xu Maogong, Cheng Yaojin and others have always been skeptical about the legend of “Peach and Li Replacing Yang” in their hearts. Doubtful, this is also the most troublesome thing for Li Mi.
This incident was as uncomfortable as a stone on Li Mi’s chest. Sometimes Li Mi wished to kill Xie Yingdeng and Cheng Yaojin, but he knew that he could only endure it, because the Wagang Army The ingredients are too complex.
Nowadays, the various factions within the Wagang forces have clear barriers and many contradictions.
According to the origin of the generals, the current army can be divided into three major factions.
One is the inner battalion formed by Zhai Rang, Xu Maogong, Cheng Yaojin and other founders of the Wagang Army; the second is the outer battalion formed by Meng Rang and other heroes; The Destiny Cognitive System composed of Confucian scholars and former Sui officials.
Among the three major factions, the inner camp with Zhai Rang as the spiritual leader, and Xu Maogong and Cheng Yaojin as the main faction has the most power and strength, but it is also the most difficult to control. There are many capable people, and Li Mi knows in his heart that many of them, like Xu Maogong, Xie Yingdeng, Cheng Yaojin, etc., are only willing to listen to Li Mi’s orders for the future development of the Wagang Army.
The celebrities who joined Wagangzhai the latest and with the least foundation and former officials of the Sui Dynasty are the most obsessed with the legend of destiny. Each of them also wants to establish a peerless achievement, and then glorify the entire family.
But these people have no soldiers in their hands, and some power is given by Li Mi, and many of them are just exaggerating, and there are not many truly talented people.
This is also the reason why Li Mi still needs to continue to fool Zhai Rang for a while, and there is no way to get rid of him immediately.
Moreover, in military affairs, Li Mi relies heavily on Xu Maogong, Cheng Yaojin, Xie Yingdeng and others. In terms of government affairs, Li Mi needs to rely on the experience and loyalty of Fang Yanzao, Bing Yuanzhen and others.
In contrast, the bandit leaders from outside camps who were fooled by Li Mi at the beginning and helped to promote Li Mi to be the head of Wagang are now the least important.
War can’t just be based on the number of people, Li Mi knows very well that the army is more important than being good
Many, he put a lot of effort into training the soldiers and horses of the foreign battalion, but the commanders who came from rough backgrounds had limited knowledge and did not cooperate at all.
In particular, Li Mi wanted to break up these people and refine them into elite soldiers, but the bandit chiefs from outside the battalion resolutely opposed it, which made Li Mi very dissatisfied.
However, generally speaking, Li Mi has already established a firm foothold in Wagangzhai, and the power and confidants in his hands are no less than Zhai Rang. strength.
On the contrary, what he needs to do now is to make the old Wagang army members obey him step by step like the celebrities and old officials who came here to defect.
For this reason, he can endure Xu Maogong’s doubts, Xie Yingdeng’s indifference and Cheng Yaojin’s white eyes. Of course, he will firmly remember these people’s rudeness to him now, and there will be opportunities to settle accounts in the future.
While thinking wildly in his heart, Li Mi listened to Xie Yingdeng’s report of the latest Far Eastern Army’s tracks and information.
Just before Xie Yingdeng finished speaking, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
“The head of the family, it’s not good, the big thing is not good.” A sweaty scout rushed into the Juyi hall while panting, shouting loudly.
The person who came was Xie Yingdeng’s right-hand man, he was always calm and steady, Li Mi and the others also knew about it, seeing this person so flustered, obviously out of place, they couldn’t help but feel a sinking heart.
On the contrary, Xu Maogong looked calm, frowned and scolded: “Drink some water, and speak slowly! What are you panicking, I was so surprised, I thought someone attacked our Wagang village!”
Xu Maogong’s prestige in Wagangzhai is extremely high, second only to Li Mi and Zhai Rang. He poured a few sips of the tea bowl, tried his best to breathe evenly, and said loudly: “Mr. The Army Violent Bear Camp suddenly appeared in Kaifeng, completely ignoring the cottages in Waihuang and Chenliu. More than 70,000 brothers from the foreign battalion in Kaifeng intercepted them, but they were defeated by the Violent Bear Camp in half an hour. More than half of the casualties.”
