: Repay kindness and hatred

That night, Li Mi slept in bed, tossing and turning.

Thinking of the days since he met Zhai Rang, he knew in his heart that Zhai Rang had the kindness of knowing him. If it weren't for him, how could he have been today? Maybe he would have been exposed to the wilderness long ago.

However, the road to power struggle has always been full of blood and cruelty. After Yang Xuangan's uprising and frustrated life experiences and bloody battlefield careers have gradually tempered him into a person with steely will. He knew that if he wanted to not be swallowed by his opponent, he had to swallow his opponent first; if he wanted to protect himself, he had to completely eliminate his opponent!

"I would rather let the world down than let the world down." He remembered a sentence that the hero Cao Cao once said, and felt the meaning of a loud voice in his heart. Although killing Zhai Rang was a bit ungrateful, if not killing Zhai Rang, there would always be an undercurrent hidden within the Wagang Army. Although this undercurrent was not led by Zhai Rang, killing Zhai Rang is the easiest, fastest and most worry-free way to solve this undercurrent.

The next morning, Li Mi went to the Golden Palace with a haggard face and two dark circles.

Li Mi's confidant Fang Xuanzao came out and said, "Duke Wei and Ji County were taken away by Chen Pojun, Hebei. Our court must respond to such provocative behavior. Not only that, we also need to respond strongly. If today's rebels from all sides are in the Central Plains, if we cannot respond strongly, then the heroes from all sides will inevitably be despised. How can Duke Wei command all the heroes in the future?"

Wang Bodang also made a list, "There are millions of stones of grain in our army in Liyang Cang. If Liyang loses, our army's logistics food and grass will be tight. Therefore, no matter what, Jijun and Liyang Cang must be recaptured."

Li Mi wore a purple gold crown on her head and glanced at Situ Zhai Rang, who was standing at the top of the right. She found that Zhai Rang had been hitting and knocking to bed at the court meeting as usual, and had already been wandering around the world.

After stroking his beard, Li Mi said slowly, "I remember that Chen Pojun had entered my Wagang and was the sixteenth leader, and he had always been thinking about the friendship between the world. So although he left without saying goodbye, he also took away Huang Junkuo, Zhai Wushuang and their nearly 10,000 troops who defected to Wagang. But we have never pursued this matter. He is in Liaodong and we are in Henan, and we have never violated the rivers. Even Ji County, Hebei, we have seized it before he entered Hebei."

"But now, I don't offend anyone, but he came to offend me. When we remembered our old love, we never stopped him when he entered Hebei, went to Shandong, and attacked Jianghuai. But it was a big deal that people were bullied and Ma Shan was riding. Through several counties, Chen Kefu passed through the county and directly seized our Ji County and our granary. Is it tolerable?

"Yes, Chen Pojun is too much, I want to give him a look." Many people in the hall immediately responded.

Li Mi paused and took out a letter from the desk.

"The king of Wei County gathered the heroes of Hebei to jointly build Yan State, and had sent people to send me a letter to respect our Great Wei as the leader of the alliance and to serve me Li Mi as the leader. He also promised that as long as our Wei State regained Ji County, they would immediately send troops to help. In order to show the friendship between the two countries, they would also cede the three counties of Wuyang County to us."

Fang Xuanzao said happily, "Duke Wei, Wang Xuba has several counties in Yecheng, and has an army of 400,000 troops. He is currently facing the attack of Chen Pojun. It seems that he is alone, so he expressed his desire to fight against Chen Pojun with our Wei State."

Li Mi's other confidant Chai Xiaohe said, "Duke Wei, although Wang Xuba was forced to form an alliance with our Wei Kingdom under the pressure of Chen Pojun, it would benefit both sides of the country. The alliance was beneficial to us, so you might as well agree to him. Chen Kefu has gradually consolidated most of Hebei, and now he is moving south in a fierce manner. We and Wang Xuba are both dead and cold. If Chen Pojun lets destroy Wang Xuba, then his next target will be our Wei Kingdom. Chen Pojun sneak attacks our Ji County first, and now the army is heading south. We should fight back firmly and never show mercy."

"Shiji, what about your opinion?" Li Mi pointed out Xu Shiji's name directly.

Xu Shiji was originally responsible for guarding Li Yang in Ji County, but later Li Mi used a confidant to transfer him back. As a result, Li Yang lost his life after just two months of his return. This incident made him very dissatisfied, so he had no intention of participating in the discussion of Ji County.

When Li Mi called out and asked, he had to say, "Ji County is indeed very important. If Ji County is taken back, our Wei State will be connected with Yan State north and south, and it can also serve as a barrier for our Wei State. Now the Liaodong army is in great power, and it is the time when our Wei and Yan join forces to fight the enemy. If Ji County is abandoned, Wei and Yan will be blocked and the Liaodong army will be defeated one by one. Moreover, if Ji County is lost, the Liaodong army will be able to directly threaten Xingyang. Even Chen Pojun's navy can directly attack outside our Jinyong City."

"Well, General Xu's words are reasonable, and Ji County must not be abandoned. It has been a recent siege of Luoyang. Victory is in sight. At this critical moment, we cannot be careless and negligent. In order to avoid being attacked in the abdomen, I think that the court should send a general to recover Ji County. Do you think, who can go?"

Li Mi asked three times, but the generals in the palace bowed their heads and no one answered. Seeing this, Li Mi couldn't help but be angry. Although many of his confidants in the palace had already told them not to answer. However, except for his confidants, there were so many people in the palace, but none of them were willing to go, which made him very embarrassed and angry.

"General Xu, how about sending you to recapture Ji County?" Li Mi pointed at the general.

Xu Shiji shook his head, "Duke Wei, the general of Wei was transferred back from Ji County because he was unable to bear the heavy responsibility. It has just passed two months, so how could he be sent to Ji County to take on this major task? Duke Wei, please ask you to ask Gao Ming, the general of Wei is incompetent and cannot take on this important task."

Li Mi was blocked by Xu Shiji and could not say anything.

He had to turn around and ask Shan Xiongxin, "General Shan, please lead the troops to regain Ji County. What do you think?"

Shan Xiongxin also shook his head repeatedly, "Duke Wei, Bei Zhizheng was ordered to besiege Luokoucang. Now it is the critical time and cannot leave easily."

Li Mi looked at the other generals again, and when they saw Li Mi looking over, they all turned around in a hurry. Ji County was taken away by the Liaodong Army. I heard that the generals of the Liaodong Army who are now stationed in Ji County are Lu Shishen and Guo Xiaoke under Chen Pojun. How dare they go to such generals? I heard that they captured Ji County and annihilated 8,000 soldiers and horses in the court, but they only suffered hundreds of casualties. Without any ability, they agreed to go to Ji County, and they would probably go away forever.

Li Mi was furious. None of the generals in the court dared to go to Ji County.

“Hohuh!”

A sudden burst of sound came from the quiet Golden Palace.

Everyone looked at each other, but saw that Situ Zhai Rang was already asleep at this moment, and he still made a sound in front of so many people.

Li Mi looked at Zhai Rang hatefully, wishing to immediately slash Zhai Rang's head with a sword. At his court meeting, he not only fell asleep, but also made such a loud sound, which was completely without any respect for him, the lord of Wei.

"Mr. Situ!" Li Mi shouted loudly.

Shan Xiongxin, who was standing behind Zhai Rang, quickly poked Zhai Rang with his hand and woke him up.

"What's wrong, what's wrong." Zhai Rang was awakened and was still a little unhappy.

Li Mi gritted her teeth and forced a smile on her face, "Mr. Situ, I thought about it all night last night and thought for a long time. Finally, I felt that the matter of Lord Wang's proposal to be appointed as the Datongzhu of Situ, is indeed very reasonable. So today, in front of all the civil and military officials of the court, I specially appointed Situzhu of Situ as the Datongzhu of the general and commanded all officials."

Zhai Rang was still confused when he slept, shook his head and said, "I can't do it, but I can't do it. Duke Wei, what kind of virtue can I do? How can I take on some important responsibilities?"

Li Mi pretended to be unhappy and said, "Does Mr. Situ disobey or do you think I have no vision for others?"

"No, just, just..."

Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin both looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what Li Mi sang again. She just refused this matter with a dark face the day before yesterday, but today she mentioned it personally. Zhai Hong and Wang Ruxin behind her were very excited. If the boss became the Otsutoku, then their plans would be one step closer.

"Okay, there is no need to say more, this matter will be decided. From today on, Situ Zhai Gong will be awarded the title of Grand Prison to the Tomb and command all officials." Li Mi made the final decision.

Zhai Rang agreed in a daze and stepped forward to thank him.

"Otsukazu, there is something now that the court wants to ask the Otsukazu to take action. I wonder if the Otsukazu can solve this problem for the court?" Li Mi said with a smile.

Zhai Rang had just been promoted to the Matsushita. Although he didn't care about this position, he felt that Li Mi was pretty good to him. Since he had something to ask for help, he would help him and smiled and said, "If you have anything to do with Wei, I, Zhai Rang, will never refuse Rang."

When Li Mi heard Zhai Rang say this, his smile suddenly became even more serious. Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin, Zhai Hong and others in the palace were all stunned. At this moment, they finally understood what Li Mi was doing just now.

Now that Zhai Rang has accepted the title of Otsutozakui, Li Mi proposed to send Zhai Rang to lead troops to regain Ji County, then he can't refuse anymore, right? At this time, even if he intentionally refuses, he can't say it. You can't agree if there are any benefits, and if there are any difficulties, you can't refuse.

Sure enough, Li Mi smiled like a flower, "I knew that the Otsukazu Prison agreed. Since Mr. Zhai agreed, it was scheduled to be the leader of the Otsukazu Prison, led his troops and gathered all kinds of heroes, led 100,000 troops across the river to recover Ji County and recapture Liyangcang. Mr. Zhai, thank you for your hard work."

When Zhai Rang heard that Li Mi actually sent him to regain Ji County, he finally woke up suddenly and no longer felt sleepy. Looking at Li Mi with a smile on his face, and then looking at his colleagues in the hall who seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief, Zhai Rang squeezed a smile on his face that was even worse than crying after a long time.
