"Ji Shan, do you still hate Chen Yingliang, the little thief?" Li Mi asked this question in a very low voice, so low that even Wang Bodang and Wang Xuance, who were guarding the front and rear doors of the camp, could not hear it, but they heard Yang Jishan's words. In his ears, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue. Yang Jishan stood up in shock and almost wanted to roar. Fortunately, Li Mi had expected Yang Jishan's reaction, and held Yang Jishan down first. While signaling Yang Jishan to be silent and beware of ears on the wall, he whispered: "Think about it for yourself. Apart from this, what else can we do?" Is there any way out? " After carefully considering Li Mi's request for a while, Yang Jishan, who had been tempered by many years of hardships, soon discovered that he and Li Mi had no other way out except to go to Chen Sangliang, the enemy who killed his brother. If you continue to stay in Dou Jiande's army, you will be waiting for death. If you return to Suanzao, you will be courting death. There is some hope in running to the southeast, but Dou Jiande will definitely send a large number of cavalry to chase him. If you are not careful, you will also die. Moreover, Xingyang County had surrendered to Wang Shichong before. Now, in order to please Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong's subordinates will definitely help Dou Jiande's army block the front and pursue them at all costs. The possibility of death is very high. The glorious image of repaying kindness with vengeance that Chen Sangliang has worked hard to establish over the years has long deceived everyone in the world, so Yang Jishan is not worried about Chen Sangliang's safety after surrendering. The only thing standing in front of Yang Jishan is Chen Sangliang and His revenge for killing his brother was over, but when he thought that even Li Jiancheng, who had a grudge against Chen Sangliang for killing his father, could put down his face and surrender to Chen Sangliang, Yang Jishan, whose status was far inferior to Li Jiancheng, no longer had any burden in his heart. So, after gritting his teeth hard, Yang Jishan nodded to Li Mi. Li Mi had also expected this answer from Yang Jishan. After smiling, Li Mi whispered in Yang Jishan's ear the escape plan he had just thought of, and then asked Yang Jishan Did Yang Jishan hear clearly? Yang Jishan nodded without hesitation. Then Li Mi suddenly raised his voice and said, "That's it. We'll set off tomorrow night. After leaving the camp, we will go straight to Zhoushan and then go directly to Yangcheng." Hearing this, Yang Jishan was inevitably stunned again. However, after seeing Li Mi wink at him as if he was killing a chicken, Yang Jishan, who had been partnering with Li Mi for many years, immediately woke up and said knowingly: "I understand, go ahead." Yangcheng." Wang Xuance, who had been trying to eavesdrop on the conversation between Li Mi and Yang Jishan, only heard these words clearly. When he heard the words Chuying, Zhoushan and Yangcheng, Wang Xuance understood that Li Mi was preparing to run away. He couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, and said to himself: "Li Mi is finally running away. With the real evidence, Dou Jiande will definitely not be merciful anymore. At that time, how can I try to take off his head with my own hands and avenge Dashuai Zhang?" "What?" It was the third watch of the night. Wang Xuance quietly left the tent and found the tent of the imperial guard who was ordered to protect Li Mi. He quietly told the imperial guard what he heard, and then hurried back to his home. The sleeping tent continues to rest. However, what Wang Xuance, who thought he had done so flawlessly, did not realize was that Li Mi secretly watched his payment and return of accounts behind the curtain. Seeing this, Li Mi snorted coldly in his heart and said to himself: "It's really you, but it's okay to send the news to Dou Jiande for me. Dou Jiande will not be suspicious when I act again." The night passed quickly. In the early morning of the next day, some rear troops and Dou Jiande's army who had not crossed the river with their baggage continued to cross the river. The Sui army still stood still and allowed Dou's army to fully cross the river. The two armies remained peaceful for the time being. In the absence of a war, Dou Jiande, an upstart country bumpkin, held a court meeting as usual to show off his authority as the emperor. After discussing some innocuous topics at the court meeting, Dou Jiande, who had had his fill of the emperor's addiction for the time being, was about to announce the disbandment of the court when Li Mi stepped out. He said: "Your Majesty, the troops of the King of Daxia are approaching Hulao Pass. The Chen thieves are hiding in the pass and do not dare to leave the city. Apparently they are afraid of my King of Daxia. In this case, why don't Your Majesty send an army to Hulao Pass to show off our troops?" The military power of Daxia read out His Majesty's Imperial Decree of Surrender and persuaded the Guanzhong rebels to surrender in Kaicheng. This further weakened the morale of Chen's army and boosted the morale of our army?" Being tipped off by Li Mi, Dou Jiande, who became more and more showy, not only heard this, He was immediately moved, and after a moment of calculation, he said: "My dear, this is a very good idea, but there is no need to send another army. I will personally lead the army to show off the military power under the city of Hulao Pass. I will also personally explore the terrain of Hulao Pass in order to Attack the city in the future. " "You are indeed a country bumpkin. If you have some money, you would like to show off to everyone in the world." Li Mi secretly smiled in his heart, but asked hypocritically: "Is it too dangerous for Your Majesty to visit Hulao Pass in person? * In my opinion, it is better for your majesty not to take risks yourself and just send a few civil and military officials." "No need," Dou Jiande waved his hand and said, "I don't need to be afraid of Chen Yingliang's traitor. ? If he dares to come out, I can see what the traitor is like. You all go and join me!Go and see what that thief Chen looks like. " Dou Jun Wenwu accepted the order and Li Mi hurriedly sang the promise and also quietly breathed a sigh of relief - if Dou Jiande didn't make this decision, although Li Mi had other ways to escape, the certainty would definitely be much smaller. So the court was dismissed. After that, Li Mi returned to the camp and immediately asked Yang Jishan and Wang Bodang to prepare for them to follow Dou Jiande to Hulao Pass to show off their power. At the same time, in order to avoid the suspicion of the traitor Wang Xuance, Li Mi took Wang Xuance with him under the pretext of Returning to his hometown, he also asked Wang Xuance to accompany him. Within a moment, more than 10,000 soldiers of Dou's army with bright armor left the camp and assembled. Li Mi confidently got rid of Dou Jiande's guards for the time being and took Yang Jishan, Wang Xuance and others with him. After leaving the camp with a dozen confidants and following Dou Jiande's chariot, everything was ready. Dou Jiande gave an order and the army of more than 10,000 marched towards the east gate of Hulao Pass, which was ten miles away. During this period, Li Mi remained with him. They appeared to be chatting and laughing with their colleagues, but in fact they kept approaching the outside of the official queue, waiting for an opportunity to escape. At the same time, the Sui army scouts had personally led Dou Jiande to Hulao Pass. When the news about Dou Jiande was reported to Chen Sangliang, it was just as Li Mi guessed. Chen Sangliang, who had never met Dou Jiande before, was also very interested in meeting and answering questions. While ordering the army to prepare for war immediately, he also boarded Hulao early. Guandong Gate Wall, waiting for Dou Jiande's arrival from a high position, was just ten miles away. Not long after, Hulao Pass appeared in front of Dou Jiande, Li Mi and others, out of contempt for Chen Sangliang and deliberate show off. Dou Jiande also ordered the army to cross the Sishui River directly and set up a position only more than half a mile away from Hulao Pass. He also ordered the army to beat the war drums and line up the troops horizontally to let the Sui army officers and soldiers see his army clearly. Wei Junrong. Li Mi was waiting for the opportunity for Dou Jun to mobilize his troops. He first glanced at Yang Jishan, Wang Bodang and other confidants to get them ready, then suddenly shouted and left, immediately clapped his horse and galloped forward. Towards Hulao Pass, which was more than half a mile away, Wang Bodang, Yang Jishan and others, who had been well prepared, also charged forward. The speed was so fast that other civil and military officials and soldiers around them had no time to react. The incident happened too suddenly, let alone. Daxia Wenwu and the soldiers of Dou Army were completely unaware. Even Wang Xuance, who was very close to Li Mi, was caught off guard. By the time everyone came to their senses, Li Mi, Yang Jishan and a dozen other riders had already rushed out of Dou Army's formation. He quickly rushed into the wilderness, but Dou Jiande, who was still trying to observe the terrain of Hulao Pass, reacted more slowly. Li Mi and others had already rushed out of the formation. Only when Dou Jiande saw them did he scream, "What's going on?" Something happened? Who is so bold? Without my permission, do you dare to go out on your own? " The escape plan went more smoothly than he expected. Even though he was overjoyed, Li Mi did not dare to be careless. While taking the time to turn around to see Dou Jun's reaction, he couldn't wait to shout loudly: "His Royal Highness, Prince Tang! His Highness the King of Tang! The guilty minister Li Mi has come to surrender, hoping that His Highness will take him in! " Chen Sangliang and the civil and military officers of the Sui army were also shocked by this accident. Seeing a dozen cavalry suddenly rushing towards Hulao Pass, Chen Sangliang and the civil and military officials of the Sui army could not help but be extremely surprised and did not understand what happened. What happened? When they finally managed to hear Li Mi's voice clearly, Chen Sangliang and others came to their senses. They also roughly guessed some reasons for the situation - Li Mi, who had a bone on the back of his head, was 90% unable to stay at Dou Jiande's place. Then, Chen Sangliang heard the sound of drawing a sword immediately. Chen Sangliang didn't have to look back and guessed that it was Mulan who respected Zhang Xutuo and was drawing a sword. He immediately fell into a dilemma - should he accept Li Mi's surrender? Accepting it would be a recipe for disaster, and there was no way to explain it to Mulan. If he didn't accept it, who would dare to surrender to him in the future? By this time, Li Mi and others had already surrendered. Rushing to the moat outside the east gate of Hulao Pass, Li Mi personally came forward and shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness, the guilty minister Li Mi, and the traitor She Dou Jiande have come to join hands with each other. Your Highness Wanwang will take you in. The guilty minister will do his best. Repay your kindness to His Highness! The guilty minister is willing to surrender. Please lower the suspension bridge quickly! " Several rows of bright arrow tips had already been displayed on the wall, and Mulan had already grabbed a strong bow and was preparing to fire the arrows herself. When Chen Sangliang quickly held her down, Mulan asked with red eyes: "You You promised me that I would avenge Dashuai Zhang with my own hands! Do you want to break your promise? " "Let me think about it! "Chen Sang's conscience was so confused that he even used modern words when he was worried, "Three minutes! Give me three minutes to think about it! " "What is three minutes? " Mulan was stunned by Chen Sangliang's strange words, but Chen Sangliang had no intention of explaining to her. He just quickly figured out how to deal with this matter. At the same time, the civil and military personnel of the Sui army had already gathered together, talking all over the place. Some people suggested that the suspension bridge should be immediately opened to allow Li Mi to enter the city in order to lower the morale of Dou's army. Others reminded Chen Sangliang thatLi Mi has the nature of a wolf. After being taken in, he will inevitably make the same mistakes as Zhai Rang and Dou Jiande. But someone immediately retorted: "What should we do? Shoot an arrow and kill Li Mi? Who will dare to surrender to His Highness the King of Tang in the future?" " Chen Sangliang was in a dilemma on the wall of Hulao Pass. Li Mi shouted loudly below the city, begging Chen Sangliang to lower the suspension bridge immediately, but Dou Jiande flew into a rage on the chariot. Wang Xuance, the only Li Mi confidant who did not escape, had also been escorted in front of Dou Jiande. , became Dou Jiande's punching bag, and Dou Jiande roared and asked: "Didn't you say that Li Mipifu would run away tonight? Didn't you say that he ran to Zhoushan? How could this happen? How could it become like this?" At this point, Wang Xuance, who was very talented, had also come to his senses and replied dejectedly: "Your Majesty, it may be that Li Mi has seen through the humble position and deliberately deceived the humble position with false news. Then he used the humble position to deceive your majesty again. Then he , he took the opportunity to run away." When Dou Jiande became even more furious, Fan Yuan who was next to him quickly reminded: "Your Majesty, the Chen bandit army has not yet lowered the suspension bridge. Let us quickly send troops forward and fight to kill some soldiers with bows and arrows. We should be able to kill Li Mi's traitor!" "No!" Advisor Liu Bin immediately objected: "Chen's army did not release the suspension bridge because they were still doubting the authenticity of Li Mi's intention to surrender. If we send troops to pursue him, we will only make Li Mi suffer. Immediately win the trust of Chen Thief, and not only will our soldiers die in vain, but Li Mi will be able to cross the river and enter the city immediately!" Although Liu Bin said this to Dou Jiande, when he heard it in Wang Xuance's ears, he suddenly woke up! Wang Xuance, who was determined to avenge Zhang Xutuo, immediately thought of an idea. Then Wang Xuance immediately raised his head and said quickly to Dou Jiande: "Your Majesty, I have a plan to get rid of Li Mi with the help of Thief Chen!" Dou Jiande heard this! Asking what the plan was, Wang Xuance finished speaking quickly. Although Liu Bin and Fan Yuan both felt that it was impossible for Chen Sangliang to fall into such a trick, Dou Jiande acted according to the plan with the intention of treating a dead horse as a live doctor. First, he ordered the army to stand still, and then sent an envoy out of the battle. He rushed to Li Mi and others and shouted loudly: "Your Highness, King Wei, Your Majesty has an edict. Chen is a treacherous traitor and will not open the city to let you cheat." , You don¡¯t have to take any more hard risks, come back, come back!¡± Hearing this shout, Li Mi on the edge of the moat was startled at first, and then almost laughed out loud, saying: ¡°Dou Jiande, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so capable. Quick wit, but why don't you think about it, how could Chen Sanlei's cunning fall into such a trick like yours?" Still hearing this cry, Chen Sangliang, who was in a dilemma, was shocked, and he was suddenly grateful to Dou Jiande. In his bones, Chen Sangliang immediately leaned out without hesitation, pointed at Li Mi and cursed: "Li Mi! How dare you come to defraud the city! Who is this king? How could I fall into your stupid plan?" " What? Did Chen really fall into the trap? When did he become so stupid? "Li Mi was really dumbfounded now. At this time, Chen Sangliang pushed away the Sui army officers and soldiers who came up to persuade him, and shouted: "Shoot the arrows! Shoot these people who are cheating the city to death!" "Promise!" In response to the promise, arrows were fired from the city, and Mulan He couldn't wait to shoot an arrow, and it hit Li Mi on the left shoulder. Li Mi screamed and ran away, but Yang Jishan was extremely unlucky and was hit by seven or eight arrows in a row. He and his horse were shot to death on the spot. Wang Bodang was also injured by an arrow. , the rest of Li Mi's cronies were also killed or injured, and they all withdrew their horses and fled. Of course, there was no way to escape. Dou Jiande's army had already blocked Li Mi's retreat. Seeing that Wang Xuance's plan was successful, Dou Jiande laughed loudly and ordered the army to continue to stand still, so that all the soldiers in the army could see with their own eyes the seller's request for glory. What will happen to the shameless people? At the same time, arrows have been fired from Hulao Pass, shooting Li Mi and others out of the range. Caught between the Sui army and Dou Jiande's army at Hulao Pass, Li Mil, who had come to his senses, reined in his horse and sighed in the wilderness: "Chen thief still doesn't tolerate me. Dou Jiande's trick was intentional. Yes. Chen Ze, we are both friends and enemies, why can¡¯t you tolerate me? Could it be that you?" When he sighed, he suddenly woke up and shouted to the sky. Said: "I understand! It's not that Chen Thief doesn't tolerate me, nor does Dou Jiande not tolerate me, it's God that doesn't tolerate me! I killed Zhai Rang and annexed all of them, and I have violated the taboo of the master. Although the world is big, there is no room for me. "The land is gone!" Yelling, Li Mi pulled out his sword and put it across his neck to kill himself. Wang Bodang stepped forward to stop him while crying, but Li Mi asked miserably: "If I don't do this, what else can I do?" Do you want me to be captured alive by Dou Jiande like Yang Xuangan, humiliated and then torn apart and executed? Let me go, otherwise it will be too late." Wang Bodang cried and let go. Li Mi yelled at Tianchang again, determined to cut him. With blood splattering on his carotid artery, Li Mi slowly fell down.The war horse fell on his once most glorious land. After Li Mi committed suicide, Wang Bodang also committed suicide with a knife. Seeing Li Mi and Wang Bo, who had fallen off their horses and died as masters and apprentices, Chen Sangang felt a lot of emotion in his heart and said secretly: "Mr. Dharma Master, don't blame me, not to mention that taking in you, a white-eyed wolf, is a danger to tigers. You revealed that I deliberately raised a thief to protect myself, and I couldn't explain it to the world. Therefore, I can't tolerate you, and you must die. Sorry, farewell, my enemy, my best friend. " It was also when Li Mi was dismissed that Wang Xuance felt a faint feeling of regret in his heart. Thinking of Li Mi's kindness to him in daily life, he couldn't help but said in his heart: "Wei Gong, I'm sorry, I feel sorry for you. . But there is no other way. Who told me to recognize Chen Liushou as the master first, and who told you to kill Marshal Zhang, whom I admire most? So I can only feel sorry for you." Taking a look at Li Mi's corpse, Wang Xuance began to think about how to get away from Dou Jiande and return to Chen Sangliang. Unexpectedly, someone next to him patted his shoulder and said, "Hey, what are you doing? Your Majesty is talking to you. " Wang Xuance quickly looked up and saw Dou Jiande smiling at him and saying to himself: "Yes, I can't see that you are so smart at such a young age. After all, what kind of reward do you want?" Wang Xuance was thinking about it a little bit. After a moment, he then recited to Dou Jiande: "Your Majesty, forgive me. I just want to ask for a favor. Please allow me to collect Li Mi's body and let him be buried in peace, in order to repay his kindness to me." Someone next to him immediately scolded him. Wang Xuance's plea also said that Li Mi's body must be chopped into pieces and fed to the dogs. However, what Dou Jiande liked most was Wang Xuance's display of loyalty. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, I allow you to confiscate Li Mi's body, and I will also make you a Zhong." Shusheren, I want everyone in the world to see that as long as he is a loyal minister, I will never treat him badly!" Although Shusheren is only a sixth-rank official, he is a close official of Dou Jiande and can also participate in military operations! However, after Wang Xuance thanked him respectfully, he said in his heart: "King Dou, I'm sorry, I appreciate your kindness, but I have to leave after collecting Li Mi's body. I have had enough of this kind of life. ¡±
