Li Mi was naked, listening to Yang Gao's humiliation and the Sui general's laughter. He couldn't help but blush, and shouted angrily: "Yang Gao, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. You are also a majestic emperor, why are you so magnanimous?" narrow?"
Yang Gao heard this and sneered: "Li Mi, you are worthy of talking to me about your temperament! I think that Zhai Rang has given you the grace to survive again, but you can't even tolerate him, and you have the nerve to say that I have a narrow temperament."
"You..." Li Mi was speechless for a moment.
Yang Gao continued: "My magnanimity is towards my people. If I am towards you, the traitor who has cholera our Sui Dynasty, then how can I have the face to face my father who is under Jiuquan and face the consequences of you?" Thousands of people of the Sui Dynasty died. Come here, drag this traitor down to me, and he will be executed at Lingchi at noon today!"
Lingchi execution!
Li Mi was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Yang Gao, you little thief, you have such a vicious heart. I, Li Mi, will never let you go even if I am a ghost. I will never -"
Li Mi was dragged out again by several tough men, leaving only a long and continuous roar.
Liu Bowen shook his feather fan and said with a sneer: "This Li Mi is also a hero of his generation, but he never expected to be so greedy for life and afraid of death. What a pity for the hundreds of thousands of Wagang soldiers who laid down their lives for him on the battlefield!"
Wang Shichong smiled sinisterly and said: "Mr. Liu, if Li Mi was not afraid of death, he should have been loyal to Yang Xuangan back then. The so-called unfulfilled great cause is nothing more than an excuse for him to be greedy for life and afraid of death."
Yang Gao gave up and said: "Li Mi is already about to die, so there is no need to discuss so much about him. For being able to capture Jin Yong this time, Duke Zheng deserves the most credit. I have decided to confer you the title of Taiwei. From now on, you will still lead your troops to station in Luoyang." .”
Wang Shichong was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately knelt on the ground, cupped his hands and said, "Wei Chen, thank you for your kindness. As long as Wei Chen is here, we will never let a traitor enter Luoyang."
Letting Wang Shichong lead his troops to station in Luoyang was a decision made by Yang Gao, Liu Bowen, Li Jing and others after many discussions. First of all, Wang Shichong will never give up his base in Luoyang. Forcibly transferring him will only lead to turning against Wang Shichong.
Second, the Central Plains is not as good as Jiangnan. After years of war, the Central Plains is full of starvation and requires a lot of energy and time to manage. Keeping Wang Shichong in Luoyang can serve as a wind-proof wall for the Central Plains.
After conferring a reward on Wang Shichong, Yang Gao coughed again and said calmly: "Two days ago, General Su Dingfang received good news. He has captured the entire Xuzhou. I have decided to promote Di Renjie, the governor of Jiangdu County, as the governor of Xuzhou, and transfer Qin Qiong's troops in Huainan to garrison Xuzhou. . In addition, Di Renjie’s position as Jiangdu County Magistrate was taken over by Jurong County Magistrate Bao Zheng.”
After a pause, Yang Gao turned his gaze to Li Jing aside and said with a slight smile: "Yakashi, do you have a clan brother named Li Mi?"
Li Jing was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself, although my brother has some talents, he usually doesn't go out or take any steps forward. How did your majesty know?
But since Yang Gao had already asked, he still raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen does have a clan brother named Li Mi, who is currently staying in Wei Chen's Mansion in Jiangdu."
Yang Gao chuckled and said, "There's no need to be nervous, Medicine Master. It's just that someone recently recommended your clan brother to me, saying that he is resourceful. It's a time for the court to employ people, so I decided to promote him in an exceptional way."
When Li Jing heard this, he couldn't help but look happy. He immediately raised his hands and said, "I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness here on behalf of my brother Changyuan (Li Mi's cousin)."
"A pharmacist doesn't need to be polite. As long as he has real skills, I will never let him lament that his talent is not appreciated."
Yang Gao waved his hand and said: "Someone else recommended Zhang Juzheng's clan brother Zhang Shuye to me, so I sent a message to them to come to Jinyong together."
Thump thump thump. . .
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came. Wang Renze, who was gray-headed and covered with blood, hurried into the hall, fell to the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, uncle, something bad has happened. Hebei Dou Jiande led The army suddenly marched into the Central Plains and caught me by surprise. The 30,000-strong army lost tens of thousands of people."
Upon hearing this, Wang Shichong stood up quickly and asked repeatedly: "What, Wang Renze, you actually lost tens of thousands of my elites in one battle!"
Dou Jiande's dispatch of troops was expected by Wang Shichong, but the death of tens of thousands of elites made Wang Shichong heartache. Wang Renze's troops are all Huainan veterans who have followed him for many years, and they are not new recruits recruited with just a few stones of food.
Wang Renze cried and said: "Uncle, it's not that my nephew is incompetent, but that Dou Jiande is really aggressive this time. All the elite troops from Hebei came out, and generals such as Wang Fubao, Cao Dan, Fan Yuan, Gao Yaxian, etc. all accompanied the army. My nephew It’s really unbeatable.”
At this moment, there was another cramped sound of horse hoofs outside, and a scout on horseback hurriedly walked into the hall, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the Qingzhou bandits Meng Jiigong, Gao Tansheng, and Xu Yuanlang have gathered their troops. More than 80,000 people divided into three groups and bypassed Langya County, heading straight for Jinyong City."
Yang Gao couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "Although this Li Mi is unfaithful, unkind, unjust, greedy for life and afraid of death, he didn't expect that he is quite popular. So many rebels rushed to save him."
Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice: "The north has been in chaos for a long time. These rebels are all the best who have stood out in the years of war. They have naturally vicious eyes and understand the meaning of death."
Wang Shichong said with some worry: "Your Majesty, if Dou Jiande, Meng Jiong and other rebels are allowed to join together, I am afraid that the current good situation will definitely change!"
Yang Gao turned his attention to Liu Bowen and said lightly: "Liu Qing, do you have any ideas?"
Liu Bowen slightly shook the feather fan in his hand and said: "The four groups of bandits are so powerful that I thought it would be better to take advantage of the fact that these groups of bandits have not yet joined forces. First, select one band of bandits, send elite soldiers and generals to ambush them, and inflict heavy losses. Even annihilate all the bandits on the road and give the bandit army a disincentive."
Yang Gao nodded and said, "Yes, it's better to strike first. But which bandit army does Ai Qing think I should destroy first?"
Liu Bowen said calmly: "Weichen thinks that Xu Yuanlang is the weakest among the four bandit armies, and his territory is closest to Jinyong City, so Weichen suggests that he should be attacked first."
Yang Gao nodded, turned around and ordered in a deep voice: "Where are Chang Yuchun, Li Siye, Lin Chong and Zhou Dewei?"
The four generals whose names were called, led by Chang Yuchun, strode out of the queue, raised their hands and said, "The last general will obey your order!"
Yang Gao said loudly: "The rebel Xu Yuanlang is coming to Jin Yong, and Woniu Mountain is the only way for him. I have allocated 50,000 elite troops to you, and rush to Woniu Mountain in advance to set up an ambush. Be sure to capture Xu Yuan for me." Long the head of this traitor."
"I will obey your orders!"
