At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 631 Who is the Oriole?

On a summer night, half a bright moon hangs high above the city of Fuyang County. Li Mi's long shirt and wide sleeves are blown by the gentle breeze. Those black and white eyes are staring out of the city, as if they want to pierce the darkness in front of them. There seems to be a sense of wisdom and ability from top to bottom.

Obviously, the previous rumor that Li Mi was injured by Liu Ya was not true, because Li Mi in front of him was not only unscathed, but also quietly appeared at the head of Fuyang County, less than a hundred miles away from Handan, even infantry, within half a day arrival.

At this moment, Fang Yanzao, Zu Junyan, Shan Xiongxin, Wang Bodang, Cai Jiande and others stood behind Li Mi like a crowd of stars.

Since Chai Xiaohe stumbled into the Yellow River and drowned, Fang Yanzao once again played the role of Li Mi's mastermind, and Zu Junyan was also promoted by Li Mi, but Zu Junyan was not good at strategy, but better at diction, such as Li Mina This man wrote an inscription against Emperor Yangdi, one of which has been passed down as a classic: If you run out of bamboos in the Nanshan Mountains, your crimes will never be exhausted; if you break the waves of the East China Sea, your evil will never be exhausted.

At this time, I saw Zu Junxian stroking his beard and saying: "Yu Wenhuaji defied the world, killed the puppet Yang Hao, and ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. As the saying goes, if the sky wants it to die, it will make it crazy. Yu Wenhuaji made it Such a crazy move is like breaking a jar. Now that Dou Jiande has ordered the National People’s Congress to build siege equipment, he must be able to break the city soon, and when the city is broken, it is a good opportunity for Duke Wei to intervene.”

Cai Jiande laughed triumphantly and said, "This old fox, Dou Jiande, has been standing still, just wanting to take advantage of the fisherman. Seeing that there is only one weak teacher left in Yuhuahua, how can he bear it and not eat this piece of fat?" Where's the meat?"

Wang Bodang also laughed and said: "Dou Jiande is a monkey. If Wei Gong hadn't pretended to be injured by Liu Shi and ordered the three armies to take a defensive position, Dou Jiande might not have dared to send troops to Handan."

Fang Yanzao sneered and said, "Are others sleeping soundly next to the couch? Dou Jiande has been tossing and tossing under our noses for so long, and Mi Gong has long wanted to deal with him, but he has never found a suitable opportunity. Wan Xiaoguo's army came from Jiangdu, and Wei Gong had expected that Dou Jiande would sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, trying to profit from it. Therefore, Wei Gong only used half of his troops even when fighting Yu Wenhuaji fiercely, and has been secretly guarding against Dou Jiande , Dou Jiande only thought that he was very clever, but he didn't know that the mantis caught the cicada, and the oriole was behind, and Wei Gong was the real oriole behind."

Fang Yanzao looked a little proud, because he also participated in this plan, and another participant, Chai Xiaohe, had slipped into the water and drowned.

Li Mi is obviously in a good mood at the moment, because soon, he will be able to get rid of Yu Wenhua and Dou Jiande together. In this way, his territory will be doubled, reaching Luoyang in the west, the sea in the east, and the sea in the north. Hejian, Jiangdu in the south, and the dilemma he is facing can also be slowly resolved.

Li Mi is in the middle of his stomach and dominates the Central Plains. What he is most worried about is being beaten by gangs from all sides, and Dou Jiande, who is closest to him, is undoubtedly an imminent threat, so he has long wanted to get rid of Dou Jiande, and this time he finally found a chance .

I have to say that Li Mi is really powerful. Gao Bufan and Dou Jiande both want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and are ready to wait for Li Mi and Yu Wenhuaji to lose both sides before taking advantage of it. Waiting for an opportunity to fight against the general.

Undoubtedly, Dou Jiande fell for the trick. He coveted Yu Wenhua and this piece of fat, but also worried that Gao Bufan would preempt him, so he hurriedly led his troops to attack Handan. Now it turned out that he was fighting with Yu Wenhua and Rush, while Li Mi was fighting. Sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight.

However, there are many reasons why Dou Jiande fell into the trap. The first is the layout of Pei Qiantong and the mysterious man, the second is the layout of Li Mi, and the third is the promotion of Xu Shiji and Lu Sheng. So, Dou Jiande is really very good this time. It's unlucky, it seems that the three parties are working together to trap him.

Closer to home, at this moment Li Mi finally withdrew his eyes from the darkness outside the city, and said calmly: "Yu Wenhuaji and Dou Jiande are not a problem, Gao Qi and Li Tang are our strong enemies, especially Gao Qi."

Li Mi and Gao Bufan faced each other several times, but they were at a disadvantage, especially last time in Hejian County, he united several forces to kill Gao Bufan, in the end Gao Bufan not only saved the day, but beat him to death Li Mi is still brooding about fleeing in despair, so he especially emphasized Gao Qi.

Fang Yanzao was obviously a little unconvinced, and said lightly: "Last time in Hejian County, if Li Jing hadn't rescued Yuchi Jingde at the meeting, we would definitely not be the ones who lost in the end, so Gao Changqing was just lucky, Mr. Wei Don't praise this son too much, once Dou Jiande is dealt with, Duke Wei will be free to deal with him with all his strength."

Cai Jiande and Wang Bodang nodded in agreement, and the latter said confidently: "With Wei Gong's wisdom and methods, that kid Gao Changqing is definitely not your opponent."

Everyone loves to hear compliments, and Li Mi is no exception. He smiled and said: "Mi can achieve today's achievements, not because of Mi alone, but because of your great help. I only hope that Mi can live up to your high expectations."

"Wei Gong is being modest. The Li family should have the world. This statement must be true to Wei Gong. We may as well wait and see." Zu Junyan smiled.

Li Mi was secretly happy, and everyone was also secretly excited, after all, if Li Mi wins the world in the future, then they are all heroes from the dragon.

Let's say that as soon as Li Mi and others came down from the top of the city, they saw a soldier escorting a man coming and asked, "What happened?"

The soldier replied: "Report to Duke Wei, this person has been wandering outside the city, acting suspiciously, he must have been sent by someone as a spy, so the subordinates have arrested him and interrogated him."

The caught man's eyes lit up, he fell to his knees on the ground and said, "Wei Gong, the younger one is not a spy, the younger one is here to contact Wei Gong under the secret order of General Pei."

Li Mi's heart moved, and he asked, "Which General Pei?"

"It's General Pei Qiantong."

Li Mi's eyes flashed, and he blurted out: "Pei Qiantong? What did he send you here for?"

The man said cautiously: "General Pei admires Duke Wei's prestige and has wanted to take refuge in you for a long time. It is only because he is afraid of Yu Wenhuaji's despotic power that he dare not surrender. Now that Yu Wenhuaji has killed the emperor, he has become his The emperor insulted the concubine and defiled the empress, causing the crowd to become angry, General Pei couldn't bear it, so he made up his mind to join Duke Wei."

Fang Yanzao and the others looked at each other with joy, Pei Qiantong is the most powerful general under Yu Wenhuaji's command, if even he turns against him, then Yu Wenhuaji is really finished.

Li Mi was also overjoyed. During this period of time, the generals of the Xiaoguo Army had been leading people to seek refuge with him, and now that Yu Wenhua and his defeat were imminent, it was normal for Pei Qiantong to turn against him, so Li Mi did not have any doubts.

However, Li Mi has always been a meticulous person, and he asked calmly, "What's your name? Any position under General Pei's command?"

The man replied: "The younger one is Min Zhong, and he is General Pei's personal soldier."

Li Mi smiled and said: "Changle King Dou Jiande's army besieged the city, why didn't General Pei take refuge with him, why did he come to contact the Duke instead?"

Min Zhongdao: "General Pei said that Duke Wei is the only hero in the world. Dou Jiande'an can be compared with Duke Wei, so it's natural to take refuge in Duke Wei."

"Hey, your general is quite discerning." Cai Jiande said proudly.

Li Mi was very comfortable being complimented, but on the surface he said indifferently: "General Pei has been promoted, so what do you generals plan?"

Min Zhong's eyes flashed and he said: "My general planned to behead Yu Wenhua, Yu Wenzhi and his brothers and send them to you, Duke Wei, but now that Dou Jiande's [-] troops are besieging the city, if my general opens the city gate rashly, I'm afraid it will be destroyed." There is an accident."

Wang Bodang hurriedly said: "Don't open it, if you open the city gate, Yuhua and the large amount of treasures and court ladies plundered from Jiangdu, wouldn't it be cheaper for Dou Jiande!"

Min Zhong nodded and said: "This is what my general is worried about, and please ask Wei Gong to bring out a charter."

Li Mi and Fang Yanzao looked at each other, and said with a smile: "Go back and tell General Pei that the Duke of the country welcomes him to surrender, but it will take some time for the Duke of the country to transfer troops. Please be sure to stick to it for another ten days. After ten days, the Duke of the country welcomes his surrender." Then we will lead our troops to defeat Dou Jiande, and then General Pei can open the city gate and surrender."

Min Zhong said in embarrassment: "Ten days...the food in the city may not be able to last for ten days, how can we keep it?"

Li Mi's eyes flashed, and he pondered: "How about the six days? The guild of our country will dispatch troops as soon as possible."

Min Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, six days is six days. I hope Duke Wei will hurry up. Now that the city is short of food and people's hearts are fluctuating, I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand Dou Jiande's army for six days."

Li Mi nodded and said: "Our country's guild will mobilize troops as quickly as possible, please inform General Pei, if you surrender your country's Duke, Li Mi will never treat him poorly."

Min Zhong said happily: "Duke Wei speaks his word, my general can trust it, otherwise he wouldn't choose to vote for Duke Wei."

Li Mi smiled slightly, and ordered people to take Min Zhong down to entertain him, and sent him out of the city when he was full of wine and food, and rushed back to Handan overnight.

On the second day, several scouts who followed Min Zhong came back and told Li Mi that Min Zhong had indeed entered Handan City, and Li Mi was relieved.

In fact, it only took two days for Li Mi to mobilize the army. The reason why he proposed ten days was to take the opportunity to consume Dou Jiande and Pei Qiantong's troops, and secondly, to guard against fraud.

Just imagine, Li Mi said it would take ten days, but suddenly sent troops on the third day, wouldn't it be possible to catch him by surprise?Therefore, Li Mi is indeed a very deceitful person, and if he is not careful, he will be tricked by him.

While Dou Jiande was overhauling his equipment to attack Handan, Gao Bufan also led the main force of the Qi army from Gaoyang County in Hejian County to Baixiang County in Zhao County quietly, while sending eyeliners to pay close attention to the battle situation in Handan.

On this day, Xu Shiji who was stationed at the border between Zhao County and Xiangguo County suddenly sent someone to see Gao Bufan.

When Gao Bufan saw this person, he couldn't help being surprised and delighted, this is a woman, but it's not Qingruo, but Sun Shangming, the female deacon of Feiyu Guard under Qingruo's command.
