Chapter 666
When Li Mi arrived at Beishan Camp, Chen Luoyan, Li Yuan and Fang Xuanzao had already taken a simple bath and had just had breakfast.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, the three of them immediately improved a lot. Especially Fang Xuanzao, since he was captured yesterday, he has been worried and frightened. Now he has finally returned to the Wei army camp, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Even while taking a bath, he hid in the house alone and cried bitterly.
When he came out again, he was happy again. This time he sneaked into Mengjin, although he had a life of death. However, the final results were quite amazing. Originally, he just asked for his appointment as an envoy of Wei and entered Mengjin with Dou Hongxian to connect with the Li family. But now, although Chen Kefu has not been poisoned to death, he has poisoned Wang Shichong, the current enemy of Wei.
Not only did he kill Wang Shichong, he also successfully reached an alliance with Li Yuan. He even brought Li Yuan back to Luoyang, with Li Yuan in his hands, and forming an alliance with the Li family was two different things. Chen Kefu spent so much effort, so he was not trying to take Li Yuan in his hands to plot against the Li family's Hedong. Now that Wang Shichong is dead, Wei State controls Li Yuan, that is equivalent to having already made half of Hedong.
In addition, Fang Xuanzao was even more excited because he knew Chen Kefu's plan. Fortunately, he came back, otherwise the King of Wei would suffer a big loss this time. When Chen Kefu was recruiting his own staff, he must have never thought that he could return to Luoyang.
Although he suffered a lot of flesh and blood and suffered a lot of insults, the achievements he made this time cannot be erased by everyone. With this achievements, who else can shake his position as the first civil servant of the Wei State? Thinking of this, the fatigue and pain in his body have also been relieved a lot, and the rest is just excitement.
The atmosphere in Beishan camp was a bit subtle. Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin and other generals gathered in the camp. Just now when they came back to pick up Chen Luoyan, the rangers sent out had a brief encounter with the pursuers from Hebei. However, neither side wanted to start a fight. After a simple encounter, the Hebei cavalry retreated to the ship on the south bank and returned to the north bank.
However, Xu Shiji and others did not relax their vigilance. Although they received Li Mi's order to defend themselves, the soldiers in the camp had already prepared for battle. The soldiers were put on armor, picked up swords and guns, and were ready to attack at any time.
Chen Luoyan and Fang Xuanzao were both Wei Jun. After regaining some spirit, they talked about the situation opposite to Xu Shiji and others. Among the three, only Li Yuan sat in the upper right head of the camp with a little lonely and uneasy. He lowered his head and looked very haggard, and everyone could not see what he was thinking.
In fact, after Li Yuan climbed to the south bank, he felt not relaxed. He had just left Chen Kefu's tiger den, and Li Mi may not be a wolf den.
However, compared with Chen Kefu's mysterious and unpredictable moves, Li Mi made him feel familiar. Li Mi's background is similar to him. They are very similar in many places, and they are the same kind of people. Moreover, he had no direct conflict with Li Mi at the beginning. The two had a good relationship on the surface. Even when he started a military campaign, he wrote to Li Mi according to Pei Ji's strategy and respected him as the leader of the alliance.
Although I understand that Li Mi and Chen Kefu are similar, they must have been trying to plot against Hedong. However, there is still a Jianghuai army in front of Li Mi. Although Wang Shichong is dead, it is impossible to defeat it in a short time. What Li Yuan needs now is time. As long as he can return to Taiyuan, the series of disasters he has suffered in the past six months will be considered to have passed.
Li Yuan lowered his head and thought, thinking about every bit of the past six months.
"The King of Wei is here!"
A shout came from outside the tent, and then the door of the tent was lifted up. Under the escort of several magnificently armored guards, Li Mi stepped into the tent with his long sword on his waist. All the generals in the tent stood up, and Li Yuan also stood up.
Li Mi stepped into the tent with excitement and immediately searched for the figure in her heart.
I saw Chen Luoyan at a glance. After a long time of not seeing her, she seemed to have cleared a lot. Her face was a little pale, and she was wearing a slightly larger leather armor. She stood there, looking at him.
After taking a few steps forward, Li Mi stood in front of Shen Luoyan, "It's good if the military advisor is back, it's good if he's back. Are you injured?"
Chen Luoyan bowed her body and bowed, "Thank you for your concern. Mo Jiang is not seriously injured. He just followed Mo Jiang to save the people with a hundred subordinates, but failed to come back."
"It's fine, it's fine." Li Mi said hurriedly, his eyes full of concern. He stretched out his hand and hugged her shoulders, but when he reached halfway, he saw Chen Luoyan take a small step back, and immediately understood. He sighed, and Li Mi withdrew his hand awkwardly.
"King of Wei, although many brothers were injured and killed in this operation, it was not in vain. Although the Queen Dou of Yan State was separated in the chaos, she finally brought King Tang and Lord Xuan Zao back safely."
When Li Mi heard this, she turned around and looked at Li Yuan and Fang Xuanzao on the side.
Seeing the two, Li Mi put away the feelings of Chen Luoyan in his heart and regained his kingly demeanor. He threw down his sleeves and turned to the seat, "Military Chen has made great achievements this time." He turned to look at Li Yuan again. Seeing that Li Yuan was much haggard at this time, he stood aside and was silent. He hurriedly comforted, "Don't worry, King Tang, you can't write the two characters Li. Although you and I are not the same clan, the two families have many years of origin. You and I are both after the Eight Pillars of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and several generations of ancestors have been ministers in the same palace. It is better to be brothers than brothers. What's more, last year, the King of Tang respectfully called him brothers and was appointed as the leader of the alliance. The matter of the King of Tang is naturally a secret matter."
Li Yuan sighed, "Yuan was first besieged by Yang Ming, and Wang Shichong and the two bandits had already suffered the defeat at Longmen. He was also hosted by Chen Kefu, and he almost lost his guard. Now the defeated ministers must not dare to call themselves brothers and brothers in front of the King of Wei. If the King of Wei can take care of me for the past, I will be grateful to me. I have no other wish in my life, but I will be the former guard of the King of Wei, return to Hedong, be the vanguard of the King of Wei, and sweep away the ugliness."
Li Yuan's low-profile words of surrender made Li Mi look happy, and he felt as if June had eaten ice. Although Li Mi raised the uprising with the peasant rebel army, the one he looked down upon was the rebels most. As the lord of the Li family and a nobleman for generations, Li Yuan was able to obtain the surrender of the lord of the former nobles like Li Yuan, which was more happy than getting the 100,000 mud-legged rebel army.
If the nobles of Guanlong were like Li Yuan, then what would it be difficult to win the world?
"Brother Shude has a heavy word, but he has a heavy word. You and I can only be called to each other, but the main and ministers have a little bit of a talk. Gu has also heard about Brother Shude's recent events. But since he has been here, don't be too polite, and don't treat yourself as a guest. From now on, we will be a family. When we pacify the world in the future and become the emperor, Brother Shude will be the King of Tang, and you and I will share the wealth of the world."
"What kind of virtue is Li Yuan? How can he be the King of Wei? Now the King of Wei is only called king, and I dare not join Yue. I ask to remove the position of King of Tang and demote him to Duke, and from then on to show that the superiors and inferiors are in order." Li Yuan said sincerely.
Li Mi was overjoyed and felt that Li Yuan was desperate, so he had the current attitude. He was very satisfied with Li Yuan's performance. However, he refused for a long time and finally pretended to be helpless and agreed. So he changed Li Yuan to Duke of Tang on the spot. Li Yuan's son, Duke of Chu, Li Zhiyun, was demoted to Duke of Chu County. In addition, Li Mi also appointed Li Yuan as the General of the Right Marquis of the Court, as the Taifu, the Right Master of Shangshu Province, and the Ambassador of Hedong comfort, and was left by Taiyuan. He also awarded many gold and silver treasures, which were extremely generous.
Li Yuan also pretended to refuse and stepped forward to thank him.
The two of them sang and yelled, and Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji and others were secretly dissatisfied. But Li Mi has always been like this now. He has given great rewards to the former court officials who surrendered and the children of the aristocratic clans. Instead, he has become harsh to his peasant and righteous brothers. However, they also know that Li Yuan's power is, even if the Li family has Taiyuan, the two major cities of Shangdang, and more than 100,000 soldiers. Just talking about the influence of the Li family among the Guanlong nobles and their years of operation in Hedong, it would undoubtedly be worth it if they could really surrender Li Yuan and the Li family.
But Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin are both the same. They were intuition and did not believe that a guy like Li Yuan would truly surrender. Just now, they heard from Fang Xuanzao that at Chen Kefu's banquet, Li Yuan killed Li Shimin with his own hands in order to avoid the Li family being implicated by his son. How many people in the world can do this with such a ruthless and decisive person? How could such a person be easily surrendered to Li Mi?
However, seeing Li Mi being extremely happy at this time, both of them kept silent and did not touch Li Mi's bad intentions at this time.
Xu Shiji and other military generals remained silent. However, Fang Xuanzao, who had just returned and thought he had worked hard and made great contributions, couldn't help but feel angry when he saw that the King of Wei treated Li Yuan's stray dog so well.
He thought that he had been born and died, and only then had a life of death was saved. This time, he poisoned Wang Shichong and brought Li Yuan back. He even mastered Chen Kefu's next combat plan. He made so many contributions that the King of Wei didn't even look at him, but he treated Li Yuan so well, so how could he be content with it?
At the moment, Li Yuan and Li Mi were flattering each other, talking about their origins, and stood up and broke their words.
"The State of Wei is already in danger, so please prepare for the King of Wei." Fang Xuanzao said unstoppable and he was shocked by everyone in the tent as soon as he opened his mouth.
