Chapter 725: Public Enemy Luo Cheng
Meng Rang fell in a pool of blood.
The body was separated, and the head was held in Cai Jiande's hand, his eyes wide open, and he died with his eyes open.
However, Li Mi's personal army was still slashing and slaughtering at this time.
Meng Rang and his subordinates came to the banquet to have a drink. However, Li Mi would have started a fight at the banquet, and everyone didn't even bring a weapon with them.
So one after another, the prime minister, general, the minister and others were killed one after another.
At this time, many people reacted.
I woke up from the drunkenness.
They no longer had the arrogance they had towards Li Mi before. Many people knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Mi desperately.
In front of the steel knife, few people have hard knees.
At this time, Li Mi was still sitting in his seat, holding up another wine glass in his hand, and continued to drink leisurely, and even picked up a few chopsticks of dishes.
I saw many people kowtow and beg for mercy.
Li Mi took another sip of wine before standing up.
"I will raise uprising troops with you, jointly eliminate violence and safeguard good, and fight against the foolish monarchs and the Sui Dynasty. But Meng Rang was greedy and violent. I fought on the front line, isolated and helpless, and I had not been asked for reinforcements for a long time. Meng Rang never sent a soldier or a soldier to reinforce me, but he had to send people to ask me for money and food every now and then, and he was never satisfied."
"Not only that, I was fighting fiercely under the Luoyang city, but he wanted to send someone to seize my military power and even planned to kill me. I wonder, Li Mi, what's wrong with me, Meng Rang? If I hadn't planned for him, how could he be today?"
"Today, it was because I was going to murder him, but he wanted to kill me first, so I had to resist you. But killing only his family today has nothing to do with you. If you scare you brothers, please forgive me."
As for those others who fell in a pool of blood with Meng Rang, Li Mi chose to ignore it.
Fortunately, after Li Mi's words, his men no longer killed anyone.
Everyone was shocked.
At this time, no matter what Li Mi said, they would not object, and no one would dare to accuse him.
Li Mi asked those who were lucky and not cut down to continue on the table and then toasted them.
Many people were shaking their hands, but they had to raise their glasses.
"I think you are a little tired, so please go down and rest first."
Li Mi sent personal troops in the tent to "escort" all the officials of Qi to rest, but in fact they were putting them under house arrest.
Then he took Wang Bodang and other generals directly to the Meng Rang camp outside the city.
Li Mi is indeed brave and bold.
As soon as he entered the camp, he bluntly stated that he had killed Meng Rang, and counted many of Meng Rang's crimes in detail. Then he said that only killing Meng Rang had nothing to do with other brothers.
At the same time, he also took out the emperor's edict to reassure him and read it to the Qi army in the camp.
"All brothers will forgive their old sins, and will follow me to the court again, and then grant them official positions and titles!"
There were 200,000 people in Meng Rang's camp, but at this time there was no leader, and all the generals were under Li Mi's hands. Those people themselves were just a group of rebels and rebel soldiers. After Li Mi's words, they were all very quiet.
In the end, Li Mi successfully appeased the 200,000 subordinates of Meng Rang and took the opportunity to annex them.
Then, Li Mi wrote several letters by hand, and wrote to the old subordinates of Meng Rang from ten counties in Huaixi, telling them the status quo and asking them to obey their orders.
"If I had known this, I would have been unsure of this."
When the officials and generals under Meng Rang in Hulao Pass heard that the overall situation was scheduled, they couldn't help but sigh. After coming to this trip, they didn't enjoy any blessings and almost lost their lives.
But facing Li Mi's regicide, no one dared to fart at all.
After all, this kind of fire is actually very common among bandits. The more people there are, the more such things there are, and there will definitely be more mountains in it.
The power was complicated, so Li Mi, who had 300,000 troops, killed Meng Rang at Hulao Pass, and put all officials under house arrest. Then the 200,000 Qi troops followed Li Mi.
Anyway, there is no loss for them.
What does Meng Rang become emperor or Li Mi become emperor have to do with them?
Now Li Mi killed Meng Rang and said that everyone would join the court with me, and those people didn't feel much.
However, everyone transformed from soldiers of the Qi army into soldiers of the Sui army.
King Li Mi of Wei became the Minister of Wei, the Grand Tutor of the State of Wei, just the Minister of Shangling, the Grand Historian of the Southeast Road.
After Li Mi killed Meng Rang and annexed his troops, he was busy pacifying Meng Rang's subordinates. While giving these soldiers a lot of rewards, he also mixed Meng Rang's troops with his old subordinates in order to swallow this army as quickly as possible.
Then he sent troops to Huaixi to receive the territory.
Half of it was temptation and half of it was a coercion, and he quickly took over the ten counties.
In a moment, Li Mi's power increased greatly, his territory expanded to ten counties, and his troops increased by 300,000.
Sitting in the Guangji Hall of Jinyong City, Li Mi couldn't help laughing.
This deal is worth it.
"Teacher, now that we are strong, will we continue to fight Luoyang City?" Wang Bodang was also very excited.
"No, don't rush to fight Luoyang, let's fight Shandong."
“Why?”
"Because Wang Shichong is just a turtle in Luoyang, he will be just a turtle. Sooner or later, when his food is exhausted, will he be killed or cut at that time? It's okay to let him guard Luoyang City for a while first. But Luo Gui from Shandong must be removed first."
Like Yang Guang, Li Mi, both of Jiangdu, were clearly aware that among the various trends today, the strongest one should be Luo Cheng, and Yang Guang is the one with the largest territory.
But Yang Guang's world is now full of anti-kings everywhere, and is fragmented by anti-kings. Therefore, his strength is greatly weakened and it is difficult to concentrate.
Luo Cheng is different. He is strong and powerful. If he crosses the sea from Liaodong to Shandong, it will be difficult to drive him away in the future.
Li Mi has already regarded Luoyang and the Central Plains as his sphere of influence, so how could he let Luo Cheng get in?
"As long as we take Shandong first and Luo Cheng has no base, he will not be able to come from the sea army. He can only go south from Hebei. At that time, Dugu Hunter or Dou Jiande will block him first, and we can let them fight first."
Li Mi, who already owns the eighteen counties, is now eager to capture the 12 counties in Shandong. In that case, he will be the only one in the Central Plains.
"Teacher, now Luo Gui leads an army of 20,000 to Wagang, Dongjun, Luo Jizu leads 30,000 bandits recruited to the Lujun County Rencheng, Luo Cheng's concubine Li Sanniang leads an army of 20,000 to Linyi, Langya County. We can attack Wagang Luo Gui first. As long as we capture Luo Gui, we will follow the Jishui Yellow River to the east, and ignore Luo Jizu of Lujun and Li Sanniang of Linyi. Let's go directly to Donglai Port and not give Luo Cheng a chance to cross the sea to land."
