Li Mi took advantage of the last banquet to set up a Hongmen Banquet and sent Cai Jiande to slash Zhai Rang with one sword, and caught all the Zhai family. Zhai Hong, Zhai Kuan, Zhai Mohou and others were all executed.

This time, some elderly people from Wagang Village were also affected, such as Zhai Rang's fellow villager Huang Junhan, and counselor Wang Ruxin, who were all killed.

The power of the old Wagang people was taken back and transferred to their confidant subordinates who defected to Li Mi.

After this reshuffle, the entire Wagang Army no longer had the voices of being unsociable and fighting for power and profit in the past.

The rebellious kings who followed Li Mi also became more common, such as Deren, King Deren of Jiyin, Li Tucai of Changping, Liuer of Wei in Huaiyang, Li Deqian of Wei County, Baishe of Jiao County, Zhang Qian of Shangluo Zhou Bitao, etc., were all rulers who occupied the mountains and became kings. Seeing that the Wagang army was in great power and were about to conquer Luoyang, they came to surrender.

Now Li Mi has a lot of talents and is full of powerful generals, Xu Shiji, Pei Renji and his son, Luo Shixin, Cheng Zhijie, Bing Yuanzhen, Wang Junkuo, and Shan Xiongxin.

Wenmou included Fang Yanzao, Jia Xiong, Jia Runfu, Wei Zheng and others.

In order to appease the morale of the army, Li Mi specially summoned civil servants and generals to gather together and said, "The uprising of the troops with you is to kill the riots, overthrow the court, and build a new country. However, Zhai Rang Situ was a tyrannical person and bullied his colleagues. There was no distinction between superiors and subordinates. He secretly planned to seize power, and had to be eliminated, but only the Situ Zhai family and his followers were not related to other people. After returning, please appease the people of our headquarters and not criticize him."

"I understand." Everyone nodded, and somehow understood what Mr. Wei was thinking. After killing Zhai Rang and others, they would shake the morale of the army.

In fact, in private, there are already rumors that Li Mi was ungrateful and Zhai Rang gave the throne to him, and even if he took it back, it was natural. However, Li Mi killed the Zhai clan members, which was too ruthless.

"An ungrateful villain, without any kindness and righteousness, is definitely a fake king and will not achieve great things!"

"The Luoyang City cannot be captured, and even the slandered ministers such as Wang Shichong cannot be eliminated. Duke Wei's energy is too strong."

"The Wagang Army has deteriorated and will perish sooner or later."

All kinds of rumors rose in the army and were repeatedly banned. Li Mi was so angry that he ordered that whoever dared to discuss it, the whistleblower who made contributions could kill those who disrupted the morale of the army and spread rumors. In this way, they would expose each other and everyone was astonished.

Because some soldiers who have a private grudge against someone will join forces to report and harm their enemies. In this way, they will resolutely expose each other, spread rumors and false accusations, and make the morale of the army become disintegrated.

Li Mi's face was gloomy. He had already noticed that the atmosphere in the army was not right, but he didn't have time to think about it because Wang Shichong led his army to sneak attack Cangcheng.

………

There are 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, and so many towers in the mist and rain.

Winter in Jiangnan is an extra season. It is cold and rainy, damp and cold, and often does not bloom for half a month, which adds melancholy and sorrow.

After the news of the loss of Daxing City reached Jiangdu, the ministers were shocked and many people cried on the spot.

Because some ministers and their families were still in Xijing, the soldiers of the Sui army were mostly from Guanlong, and they all yearned for returning to their hometown.

The northerners in the pass are not adapted to the humid places in the south of the Yangtze River, and the climate varies greatly, so they miss their hometown even more.

Therefore, more and more deserters were deserting. The ministers and generals of Jiangdu were all worried. They were already disappointed with Yang Guang and could not see hope.

When Yang Guang learned that Li Yuan had seized Daxing City, deposed his throne, and supported Yang You as emperor, he naturally knew that Li Yuan's intention was to temporarily abolish his reputation and replace him with Yang You.

"The wolf's ambitions, the Li family should not be kept. They should have killed them all long ago, and missed this disaster!" Yang Guang was furious and cursed. He drank a lot that day and was furious in the harem, which made the imperial concubines and palace maids feel chilling.

Empress Xiao wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes and saw that her husband no longer had the majesty and powerful charm of the Supreme Emperor. Instead, he became a drunkard, unintentional government affairs, and could not listen to bad news outside. Once he got angry, he would kill people, kill those unarmed palace maids and eunuchs.

In the middle of the night, I often have nightmares and surprises, dreaming that someone comes to chop his head and seize his throne.

One night he dreamed of people from the Yuwen royal family and questioned Yang Guang that Yang Jian seized the throne of the Yuwen family as a relative, and now Li Yuan is also robbing the throne as a royal relative.

"You all deserve to die, you all deserve to die!" Yang Guang shouted such words in his dream, and one of the Shu concubines heard that this concubine was seventeen or eighteen years old, and was Yu Wenji's younger sister, and revealed the news to Yu Wenji and others.

As the end of the year approached, Yu Wenhe summoned Pei Qiantong, Sima Dezhan, Ma Wenju, Yang Shilan, Yuan Li, Yuan Min, Zhao Xingshu, Meng Bing, Yu Wen Zhiji and others to gather together to plan things.

Yuan Li said: "Stay in Jiangdu and wait for death. There are rebels around him, with Du Fuwei, Fu Gongtuo, Li Zitong and other troops as the most. Sooner or later, we will be trapped here. The Great Sui Dynasty will not work, so we have to find a way out, right?"

Meng Bing suggested: "It's better for everyone to escape together, flee from all directions, and join Li Tang, Luo Cheng, Dou Jiande, and Li Mi."

Yu Weng-he glanced at his younger brother Zhi-he and asked him to speak.

Yuwen Zhiji knew it, coughed and said, "Although Your Majesty is so stupid, he is still the master after all, with 100,000 troops in his hand. Even if we escape together, we will be intercepted and killed soon. There are rebels everywhere. We may be killed by rebels when we escaped from Jiangdu. It is better to control the troops, launch a palace transformation, re-establish a new king, and then lead the army north and return to the Central Plains. We will have a place for prosperity and wealth."

Pei Qiantong, Sima Dezhan, Yang Shilan and others were startled at first, and then their eyes flashed, feeling that this method was not bad.

After discussion, everyone recommended Yu Wen and as the leader because his righteous brother Yu Wen Chengdu was the commander of the imperial guards, and he had a lot of military power and excellent martial arts skills, comparable to the ability of Lu Bu of the Three Kingdoms. They all felt that only the Yu Wen family had the capital to become king.

Yu Wenhua was mentally prepared early and did not refuse. He immediately assigned tasks to everyone, such as contacting other commanders, asking generals to raise weapons, conceal Yang Guang and the palace servants, how to win over all the guards of the Forbidden Palace, come to protect the enemy, and generals such as Chen Feng conspired to incite.
