At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 635 Shifting the target
Wang Bodang couldn't help frowning, and said doubtfully: "Gao Changqing will really release our people?"

In the Battle of the North Bank of Mingshui, at least 5000 people from the Wagang Army were captured by the Qi Army, and even Shan Xiongxin was captured. Wang Bodang didn't quite believe that Gao Bufan would be so generous and released everyone.

Fang Xuanzao sighed and said, "Obviously, what Xu Shiji said in public cannot be false, otherwise what would be the faith?"

Song Zhengben and Ling Jing looked at each other, both happy and worried in their hearts. I have to say that Gao Changqing handled this move very cleverly. Li Mi originally planned to ruin Gao Changqing's reputation, but in the end he was scolded by Xu Shiji , It is estimated that the morale of the army has also been shaken, but Gao Changqing's methods are so powerful, will he really give up the fat he got?King Changle was afraid that the situation would be bad.But fortunately, Gao Changqing is relatively benevolent and righteous, not as ruthless as Li Mi, presumably King Changle will not be in danger of his life.

At about noon, the Qi army on the north bank really started to release the prisoners. There were more than 5000 prisoners, not one was left, and all of them were released. Some of them swam back to the south bank, but more people scattered in all directions. Some people are willing to stay and join the Qi army.

The Wagang Army on the south bank watched the Qi Army release all the captives with their own eyes, and their eyes couldn't help but change a bit. My God, it turned out that the Qi Army would release all the prisoners if they caught them. Just hand over their weapons. And the comrades who drowned in the river are worthless, if they had known that they would have thrown their weapons away, they would not have sacrificed their lives in vain.

Li Mi was keenly aware of the psychological changes of his soldiers, and his expression was extremely gloomy. Gao Changqing's scheming is poisonous, it is poisonous to the green bamboo snake. After a combination of punches, the morale and fighting spirit of his subordinates will probably be disintegrated. Thirty percent.

"Wei Gong, the situation is not good. This battle is invincible, so let's avoid it for the time being." Fang Xuanzao said worriedly.

Li Mi pondered for a moment, no matter what, if you stay in the green hills, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. Now that the time, people and harmony are not occupied, and the geographical advantage is not ideal, if you fight, you will definitely lose.

Ever since, Li Mi made a decisive decision and ordered the release of all the captured Dou soldiers, and forced them to find a way to cross the river. Taking advantage of thousands of captives crossing the river, Li Mi led the Wagang Army to retreat quickly.

"Report to the King of Qi, Li Mi has withdrawn his troops!" The soldiers rushed in to report.

Gao Bufan, Xu Shiji and others hurried out of the camp to watch, and they saw Li Mi's commander-in-chief flying away rapidly, while the prisoners of the Dou army crossing the river just blocked the way of the Qi army's pursuit.

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help being anxious, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness, the last general will lead a cavalry across the river to chase after him, and we must not let Li Mi escape."

Gao Bufan shook his head and said: "It's too late, and maybe Li Mi will kill the carbine, and we are afraid that we will follow in the footsteps of the Wagang Army."

Cheng Yaojin was stunned for a moment, slapped his forehead and said: "Li Mi is very cunning, maybe he will really use this trick, so what should we do, let Li Mi run away like this?"

Gao Bufan and Xu Shiji looked at each other regretfully. In fact, Lu Sheng has already led 10,000 people to cross the river from the downstream direction, and they will be in position in a day or two at most. It was impossible to escape, but Li Mi did have two brushes, and he acted decisively. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, he immediately withdrew his troops, and he deliberately used prisoners to block the way of the pursuers, cunning and cunning.

In addition, Li Mi traveled more than 20 miles in one breath, and did not find the Qi army chasing him, so he was relieved and a little regretful. As Gao Bufan expected, he did stay behind. If the Qi army crossed the river to pursue him, he would Immediately turned around, and gave the Qi army a "Crossing the river is not enough, hit the middle stream".

It's a pity that Gao Bufan didn't give Li Mi this chance!
Li Mi's mood at this moment is undoubtedly extremely aggrieved, and he finally seized the opportunity to defeat Dou Jiande. Just as he was about to go all out to snatch Dou Jiande's territory, he killed Gao Changqing halfway, took all the benefits, and made himself Losing more than half of the troops in vain, I really complied with the sentence that I lost my wife and lost my army.

Fortunately, Yu Wenhua and the fat sheep were still waiting in Handan, and they cleaned him up later, which just made up for part of the loss.

Thinking of this, Li Mi couldn't help cheering up again. How could a hero like him be depressed because of a defeat?What's more, his strength is still not weak.

However, the blow came again immediately. Just as Li Mi was walking near a mountain, he suddenly killed a cavalry, biting the rear army of the Wagang Army, and immediately attacked another cavalry. The order of the Dewagang army was in chaos.

Li Mi was shocked, and hastily mobilized his troops to fight, and managed to stabilize his position. He found that these two cavalry were fighting under the banner of the Qi army. this?

In fact, these two cavalry are brothers Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche under Lu Sheng's command!
It is said that Xu Shiji is stationed in Zhao County, while Lu Sheng has been stationed at the junction of Hejian County and Xindu County. A few days ago, Lu Sheng received Gao Bufan's order and suddenly launched an attack to arrest General Dou who blocked him. He quickly led his army south to Handan, and later received Gao Bufan's order to cross the river from the lower reaches of the Ming River to attack Li Mi.

This morning, Lu Sheng led 10,000 people across the river from a place more than a hundred miles downstream of the Ming River. He sent brothers Xue Wanjun and Xue Che each with [-] cavalry to lead the battle, but they just caught up.

Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche were originally Luo Yi's subordinates. Since they joined Gao Qi, they had no chance to make meritorious deeds. Naturally they didn't want to let them go at this time. So after discussing with each other, the two brothers chased after and bit Li Mi's rear army. Take a bite.

Li Mi found that there were not many Qi cavalry chasing after him, so he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. While mobilizing his men, he ordered the troops to continue advancing.

After all, Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche only had a thousand cavalry and had no backup. At first they took advantage of the unpreparedness and indeed made a lot of money. He was almost drawn into the encirclement.

Fortunately, the two brothers were also brave, and rushed out in time before the encirclement closed, only losing dozens of rides, but the two brothers who had tasted Li Mi's strength did not dare to chase anymore, turned around and returned, waiting for the arrival of the large army .

Besides, Li Mi got rid of the Xue brothers, so he didn't dare to stay any longer. He drove all night, and returned to Handan City the next morning, trying to open the city gate, but Pei Qiantong ignored him at all, and Li Mi was so angry that he almost wanted to scold his mother.

Cai Jiande cursed and said: "Pei Qiantong must know that we have lost the battle, so he doesn't plan to join Wei Gong anymore, this treacherous villain, bah!"

Li Mi gradually calmed down, the world is like this, most of the villains are mercenary, and when you are strong, everyone flocks to you, but when you lose power, they abandon you like a piece of paper!

Li Mi simply gave up Handan City directly, and continued southward with the defeated army to station in Fuyang County in Shunwei County.

At this time, on the top of Handan city, Pei Qiantong and a middle-aged scribe watched the Wagang army led by Li Mi go away. The former licked his lips and said with a grin: "This scene is really exciting, and the big fish have all entered the game." , I just didn’t expect Li Mi to be defeated by Gao Changqing, this kid is really great, he didn’t lose much, but he picked up a big bargain, Dou Jiande was the worst, not only the whole army was wiped out, but also his life and territory would be lost.”

The middle-aged scribe frowned and said, "Gao Changqing's timing for this son's entry is too clever, it's a bit abnormal."

Pei Qiantong nodded and said: "It is true that he has some skills. It is said that this kid has never lost a single game since his debut. His luck is amazing."

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged scribe, and said indifferently: "Then I want to see if this kid's luck can always be so good, it's a pity, the game was originally set up to deal with Li Mi, and now it's for Gao Changqing , I can only temporarily give up on Li Mi."

Pei Qiantong also nodded regretfully. He could have solved Li Mi just now by tricking him into the city, but in order to deal with Gao Changqing, he had to give up. It can be seen that in comparison, the lord attaches more importance to Gao Changqing.

Of course, Pei Qiantong also felt that Gao Changqing seemed to be more powerful than Li Mi, and the pigs were naturally killed first, so Gao Changqing, the biggest threat, should be dealt with first, and then plot against Li Mi. Anyway, Li Mi's loss this time It is definitely hurting his muscles and bones, his strength has been greatly reduced, and it will be relatively easy to deal with in the future.
