At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 634
Gao Bufan pretended to ponder for a moment, and then said: "Well, for the sake of General Xu, this king will spare Shan Xiongxin's life, come and untie him!"

Xu Shiji said happily: "Thank you King Qi." After speaking, he personally untied Shan Xiongxin's body, helped him up, and said apologetically, "Brother Shan, I haven't seen you for a long time, forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye."

Shan Xiongxin is a man of righteousness and wealth, although he is a round older than Xu Shiji, but the two are like-minded, they both go to Wagang to assist Zhai Rang, and they have the righteousness of sworn brotherhood.

Shan Xiongxin's eyes were slightly wet, he shook his head and said, "I don't blame you, it's all caused by that idiot Zhai Hong, and it was right for Shiji to leave Wagang. Although Wei Gong is extremely smart, it's just..."

Shan Xiongxin didn't go on talking, the son didn't talk about his father's ugliness, and the minister didn't blame the king for his mistakes.

Xu Shiji sighed and said: "Li Mi is narrow-minded and has no tolerance for others. If I was still in the cottage at that time, I'm afraid I would have suffered the same accident as Zhai Dazhang."

Upon hearing this, Shan Xiongxin said shamelessly, "I should have died together with Zhai Dazhang, but I have managed to survive until now."

Xu Shiji comforted: "Brother Shan, you don't have to blame yourself. It is human instinct to seek good luck and avoid evil. What is Big Brother Shan's plan next? Do you still want to go back and serve Li Mi?"

Shan Xiongxin sighed and said: "Since Zhai Dazhang was killed, I have the heart to leave, but I have family ties, and Wei Gong actually treats me well, so I have been thinking about it until now. I have fought countless battles in these years. , It can be regarded as a great achievement for Wei Gong, and I think I don’t owe him anything anymore, so it’s the right time to withdraw now.”

Xu Shiji heard the words and said: "Since this is the case, why doesn't Big Brother Shan serve King Qi? King Qi is wise, benevolent and righteous, his heart is far better than Li Mi, and he has the attitude of a wise master."

Shan Xiongxin hesitated and said: "I'm afraid that Shan Tong will not be able to get into King Qi's eyes."

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "If the head of the Shan family is willing to serve, this king will wish for it."

Although Shan Xiongxin's bones are a bit weak, he is still a fierce general who charges into the battle. It would be good if he can accept him, so Gao Bufan took the initiative to extend an olive branch.

Upon hearing this, Shan Xiongxin immediately fell down on one knee, saluted solemnly and said, "Shan Xiongxin pays homage to King Qi."

"General Shan, please get up!" Gao Bufan stepped forward to help Shan Xiongxin up, and accepted the fierce general with a smile.

Li Mi had already become the boss of Wagang, but he set up a Hongmen banquet to kill Zhai Rang brothers. Li Mi has been going smoothly and is very strong, so the internal crisis has not erupted. Once he suffers a major setback, the internal crisis will inevitably erupt. Shan Xiongxin is just the beginning.

When the Qi army finished cleaning the battlefield, it was already dark, and the two armies camped across the Mingshui to face each other. Early the next morning, Li Mi ordered people to escort a dozen prisoners to the side of the Mingshui. These prisoners were all under Dou Jiande's command. The key figures include Su Dingfang, Song Zhengben and Ling Jing.

"I, Li Mi, please speak to King Qi." Li Mi said loudly to Bei'an.

The soldiers of the Qi army hurriedly reported to the main tent of the Chinese army: "King Qi, Li Mi is inviting you to talk on the other side, and he has brought all the captured soldiers under King Changle up."

Gao Bufan couldn't help being moved when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Li Mi wants to engage in this trick again, but it seems that this king has nothing for him to make use of."

Changsun Wuji said: "Li Mi is a good eloquent man. Since he brought the soldiers under King Changle up, he probably planned to make a fuss about King Changle. In all likelihood, he wanted to ruin your reputation, King Qi."

Du Ruhui smiled and said: "The auxiliary machine is justified. The King of Qi doesn't need to pay attention to him. After Xiao Lu leads the army to arrive, the two sides will attack and defeat it in one fell swoop."

Gao Bufan nodded and said: "It makes sense, but if you avoid it, you will inevitably weaken your momentum. Shiji, you can go to meet him for a while instead of this king."

Everyone's eyes lit up and they were almost overwhelmed. There were quite a few eloquent people present, and Xu Shiji was definitely not the best eloquent one, but Gao Bufan sent him there, which had a deep meaning.Because Li Mi killed Zhai Rang's brother's family and dove occupied Nestle, this is a stain that he will never wash away, and Xu Shiji used to be Zhai Rang's mastermind, and his influence in Wagang is still quite large, and now he stands up to accuse Li Mi , not only firmly stand on the commanding heights of morality, but also shake Wagang's military spirit to the greatest extent.

As the saying goes, the power of psychological warfare should not be underestimated. Besieged on all sides, bluffing, stalking, etc., are actually a type of psychological warfare. Although the speed of information dissemination was slow in ancient times, psychological warfare was the standard equipment of ancient warfare. means, and precedents abound.

Let's say Xu Shiji came to the north bank of Mingshui without any clothes, just wearing a long gown with a high bun and a long sword on his back, similar to how he was dressed in Wagang back then. After recognizing it, they all whispered to each other, and some even blurted out: "It's Master Xu!"

"It has long been heard that Master Xu has defected to King Qi, so it is true."

"Mr. Xu was forced to leave by Master Hong."

Hearing the whispered discussions from all around, Li Mi couldn't help secretly screaming that something was wrong, his originally calm expression became a little unnatural, secretly scolding Gao Bufan for being cunning.

Just as Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui expected, Li Mi's appointment to meet Gao Bufan across the river was really uneasy and well-intentioned. He just wanted to use Dou Jiande to talk things out and use his words to trick Gao Bufan. If Gao Bufan fell into the trap, he would accuse him of breaking his word , ruthless, violating the covenant, taking advantage of others, encroaching on the father-in-law's territory, etc., anyway, it is to pin the shit pot on Gao Bufan's head and make him black and bad.

In the end, Gao Bufan didn't show up, and instead sent Xu Shiji, Li Mi suddenly turned into shooting himself in the foot, but at this time, he was riding a tiger, and Li Mi was too embarrassed to turn around and leave, so he could only bite his head He clasped his hands and asked, "Who is coming from the other side?"

Xu Shiji said indifferently: "I am the Sima of the Qi Palace, Xu Shiji, the General of the Left Guard of the Qi State, the King of Qi disdains to see you, Li Mi, and is afraid of polluting himself, so he sent this general to send you away."

Li Mi couldn't help but his complexion darkened, while Cai Jiande said angrily: "Fart, what is Gao Changqing, who dares to speak so brazenly!"

Xu Shiji said coldly: "Li Mi's rebellion failed back then, and he went into exile, wandering around, without a fixed place to live. It was Zhai Dazhao who kindly took him in and treated him like a guest of honor. In the end, he even elected him Duke Wei to lead the Wagang heroes.

Zhai Dazhang was benevolent, loyal, magnanimous, and had the kindness to support and support Li Mi, but Li Mi not only did not appreciate it, but brutally attacked and killed Zhai Dazhang's entire family, and doves occupied the nest. , let alone King Qi. "

Xu Shiji scolded heartily, the Qi army on the north bank cheered thunderously, while the Wagang army on the south bank was completely silent, even Li Mi's direct descendants bowed their heads in shame. In Zhai Rang's matter, Wei Gong was indeed wronged.

Li Mi's complexion finally became ugly, Fang Xuanzao rushed to save the Lord and said: "Xu Shiji, you former traitor of Wagang, don't speak nonsense here to confuse the public. It is true that Zhai Rang is kind to Duke Wei. But Wagang's prosperity today is all due to Wei Gong's wisdom and wisdom, and it is not due to Zhai Rang that Wei Gong took the top spot, but because of everyone's expectations.

On the surface, Zhai Rang supports Wei Gong, but in fact he is not willing to lose power. Zhai Rang's brothers are usually domineering, bullying their colleagues, extremely greedy, and even plotting wrongdoings. Wei Gong has no choice but to act first.Therefore, the reason why Zhai Rang brothers ended up like this is that they have brought the blame on themselves, no wonder Wei Gong. "

Xu Shiji sneered and said, "Now that the head of Zhai has been murdered, there is no proof of his death, it's not up to you to arrange it, it's extremely shameless!"

Li Mi stopped Fang Yanzao, who was about to continue to argue, and pretended to be magnanimous: "I, Li Mi, have acted in an upright manner throughout my life. The world and the sun and the moon can learn from it. I don't need to explain it to anyone. Why use my tongue for a while."

Xu Shiji laughed and said, "Li Mi, you are narrow-minded and deceitful. How dare you say that you are upright and upright. It's a big joke in the world."

Li Mi said calmly: "It's useless to talk more, and you, Xu Shiji, can't make the decision. Let Gao Changqing talk to me."

Xu Shiji said indifferently: "King Qi said that he doesn't bother to see you unless it's your head, Li Mi's."

Li Mi smiled and said: "Miben thought that King Qi was someone, but he didn't expect it to be nothing more than that. His vision is too short-sighted. Anyway, it's better not to see him."

Naturally, Xu Shiji would not be caught by this kind of rhetoric, and said with a sneer, "Stop talking nonsense, let's see the truth." After speaking, he turned his head and left.

Li Mi frowned, and shouted sharply: "Wait a minute, these are all soldiers under the command of King Changle, and King Qi doesn't plan to redeem them back? But yes, if they are all redeemed, how can King Qi control the territory of King Changle?" ? By the way, is King Changle still safe now?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Su Dingfang, Ling Jing, Song Zhengben and others all changed slightly.

Li Mi's words are undoubtedly murderous. This clearly implies that Gao Bufan secretly murdered Dou Jiande in order to seize Dou Jiande's territory. It would be fine if Dou Jiande had nothing to do with Gao Bufan. Treaty of offensive and defensive alliance.

Xu Shiji said calmly, "Although King Changle was shot in the back by an arrow, he is no longer in danger after being treated, so don't bother you, Li Mi, to be hypocritical."

Su Dingfang and others were relieved to hear that King Changle was still alive.

At this time Xu Shiji continued: "As for the Wagang captives, the King of Qi has always been benevolent and righteous, and will release them all later. If you, Li Mi, have King Qi's kindness, you might as well release all the old troops of King Changle." After speaking, he turned and strode away.

Li Mi couldn't help but his expression changed, he was speechless, obviously he didn't expect Gao Bufan to come up with such a move, and he dismissed his offensive lightly.
