Chapter 400 Too cruel

"I was captured alive by Chen Yingliang's little thief? I was captured alive by Chen Yingliang's little thief? This little thief has sent someone to negotiate with you and ask you to exchange Hulao Pass for me? Hahahahaha..."

After hearing about what happened in Hulao Pass after he disappeared briefly, Zhai Rang, who had already eaten and slept well in Hulao Pass, was in a good mood. He naturally laughed and said, "I didn't expect that Chen Yingliang's little thief could really joke. He caught me, or captured me alive? He was not afraid of talking and scurrying his tongue. I really admired his face, hahahahahahaha."

"Uncle, what's wrong with me? My nephew and my father were really shocked." Zhai Mohou said with a compliment: "That Chen Xiaozhe is so good at acting. The messenger sent by me is very slight. It is also rumored that you have been captured in Luokoucang. My nephew was so anxious that he cried. If it weren't for my uncle, you might have been fooled. I really have to force you to exchange for Hulao Pass for you."

Zhai Rang laughed again. Although all the generals of Wagang couldn't remember when Zhai Mohou burst into tears, they also agreed, admitting that they were indeed deceived, and believed that Zhai Rang was captured alive by Chen Sangliang, and they all made up their minds to exchange Hulao Pass for the respected leader of Wagang King Zhai. Although no one firmly expressed his intention to do this at that time, they definitely thought so in their hearts - all Wagang Kings can swear to the sky. Zhai Rang was even more comfortable and funny when he heard it. He couldn't help but ask Li Mi: "Mr. Pushan, Mohou and others have no brains to believe in the thief Chen Yingliang's thief Chen Yingliang's thief. You are such a clever person, how can you believe in the thief Chen Yingliang's thief?"

To be honest, even at the most shaken time, Li Mi always had serious doubts about whether Zhai Rang was captured. However, in front of Zhai Rang himself, Li Mi had to say some beautiful words to please Zhai Rang and bowed and said, "King, as the saying goes, care is chaotic. The students were also worried about your safety at that time. When they saw that Chen Yingliang's little thief was doing the trick in real life, they were really fooled and determined to exchange for you with Hulao Pass. Fortunately, you, King, are Hong Fu Qitian, come back in time to expose the treacherous and despicable face of Chen Yingliang's little thief."

Zhai Rang smiled happily for a while, then said: "The little thief Chen dared to deceive our army so much and ruin our army's plan to attack Luokoucang. This revenge must be avenged. Brothers seize the time to rectify the troops and explore the enemy's situation. When the fighter plane appears, I personally lead you out of seclusion and fight with the little thief Chen Yingliang to fight to the death and avenge the previous shame.

"No" Wagang generals clasped their fists neatly and sang Nuo. Li Mi, who had already returned the command power to voluntarily, also sneered in his heart, and said in his heart: "You are worthy of fighting the traitors of Chen Yingliang to the death? Without my help, even if you give you a million troops, you will be destined to be fooled by Chen Yingliang's traitors. In the end, you can't even be protected by Hulao Pass."

Zhai Rang is not a fool either. In front of Li Mi, Zhai Rang would of course only ask what happened in Hulao Pass during his disappearance. When he was talking to his brother, nephew and his confidants alone, Zhai Rang would of course have to carefully inquire about what Li Mi and his Pushan Public Camp during his brief disappearance. As a result, there was a possible mysterious envoy who had ever met Chen Yingliang before Wang Rumo, and Li Mi's explanation for this, of course, it was inevitable that Zhai Rang's ears would be introduced to Zhai Rang.

Fortunately, Zhai Rang was in a very good mood and did not investigate this matter. On the contrary, he praised Li Mi's cleverness and alertness and said, "Mr. Pushan is indeed powerful, and I hit the nail on the head. I also think that this must be the trick of Chen Yingliang's little thief. We cannot suspicion randomly, and we will break the plan to join hands to capture Luokou Cang. No one is allowed to mention this matter again."

This matter seemed to have ended here. After learning that Zhai Rang had successfully returned to Hulao Pass, Chen Sangliang indeed stopped all the cheating. The Sui army in the Eastern Capital and Pei Renji stationed troops in Luokoucang. While increasing the height and strengthening Luokoucang City, they cut down wood to create siege weapons, and counterattack and recapture Hulao Pass were very obvious. The Wagang Army was also resting and preparing for the war, strengthening Hulao Pass city defenses with all their efforts, and also putting forward a clear tactical intention of taking root in Hulao Pass to wait for opportunities to advance. They were thirty miles apart against the two armies and were temporarily safe.

For Li Mi, of course, the next question was to take advantage of the favorable situation to go further. However, just when Li Mi racked her brains to figure out how to seize Luokou Cang for a long time when his old opponent Chen Sangliang seized Luokou Cang, what he never dreamed of was that on the night after Zhai Rang successfully withdrew from Hulao Pass, it was also the night of February 19, 13th year of Daye that Chen Sangliang's cheap move was reappeared, and an accident came again...

The accident happened about 29th. A scout of the Wagang Army, who was affiliated with Xu Shiyi's army, suddenly rolled back to the west gate of Hulaoguan after more than a day of missing, suddenly rolled and crawled back to the west gate of Hulaoguan, loudly stated his identity and asked to enter the city. After verifying his identity, he was twisted onto the city wall by a military hanging basket. The first thing the scout did was to ask to see his direct superior Xu Shiyi, saying that there was a 100,000 urgent military information to report to Xu Shiyi. Xu Shiyi, who had already fallen asleep, felt strange after hearing the news, so he immediately put on his clothes and stood up, and received the missing scout in his bedroom.

"Brother Xu, this is a letter from Chen Yingliang and Chen Gouguan, and I want me to hand it over to Duke Pushan."

The first sentence of the missing scout made Xu Shiyu change his face and quickly took the letter presented by the missing scout with both hands. Seeing that the letter was sealed with fire, the envelope read "Pushan Gong Li Mi Intimately," Xu Shiyu hurriedly asked about the incident of the missing scout. The missing scout confessed to the truth that he was unfortunately surrounded and captured by the Sui army's light cavalry during the first day of his mission. After being captured, although the scout was interrogated by the Sui army soldiers, he was steadfast and unyielding and did not explain any military information. The Sui army soldiers had no choice but to temporarily detain him with other Wagang prisoners of war.

Later at noon today, a Sui army official suddenly came to identify prisoners of war and asked all prisoners of war belonging to the public camp of Limi to leave the list. At that time, everyone did not know the intention of the Sui army officers, and did not dare to move. Until the Sui army officers declared that they had no malice and that as long as they were prisoners of war in the public camp of Pushan, they could receive preferential treatment. Only then did soldiers leave the list and report their identities and immediately obtained good food. The missing scout also pretended to be a soldier in the public camp of Pushan, received preferential treatment, and was mentioned to the Central Army camp of the Sui army and interrogated them separately from everyone.

Hearing this, Xu Shiyi immediately shouted, "Why are you pretending to be a subordinate of Pushan Gong?"

"The little one, the little one, the little one was caught the afternoon of the previous day. When he was taken to the prisoner-of-war camp the night before yesterday, he had no time to receive the meal and was hungry all day long." The missing scout stammer replied hesitantly: "I only received a pair of mixed noodles the size of a palm yesterday morning. I was not full at all. I was so hungry that I was so hungry that I was greedy for the dog official's food, so I pretended to be."

"What about it later?" Xu Shiyu asked again.

"Later, a dog official kept asking me about my identity and asked me about the situation of the Pushan Gong camp." The scout replied truthfully: "Fortunately, the villain had a lot of contact with the Pushan Gong's army. He pretended to be a subordinate soldier of Wang Bodang, a student of Pushan Gong, and explained the names of his subordinates and bosses. Unexpectedly, he got away with it. Later, the dog official brought me to the central army tent and met Chen Yingliang. Chen Dog Official said a lot of good things to me and gave me a piece of silver cake, asking me to bring this letter back to Hulao Pass and handed it to Pushan Gong, and said that Pushan Gong would also reward me with gold and silver. He also said that this letter must not be discovered by King Zhai's people. If it really doesn't work, it can be destroyed. As long as you bring the letter to Pushan Gong, let Pushan Gong know about this matter, it is okay."

As he said that, the scout who was quite loyal to the Wagang Army took the initiative to hand over the silver cake. There was Chen Sangliang's Xuchang Duke's Mansion stamp on the silver cake, which was exactly the same as the letter to Li Mi. After reading the letter and the silver cake with a calm face for a long time, Xu Shiyi felt that the matter was too coincidental, but he did not dare to hide it privately. He could only get up and shout, "Let's go and see King Zhai."

It is conceivable that Zhai Rang knew the surprise and doubt of learning about this situation. He repeatedly asked the missing prisoner of war's confession, but found no abnormality. After hearing the news, Zhai Hong and Zhai Mohou and other absolutely reliable people arrived. Then Zhai Rang took out the varnish and took out the letters and looked at them carefully. It was fine if they didn't read them. After seeing them, Zhai Rang's face changed drastically, and Zhai Hong and Zhai Mohou were also furious.

In addition to the literary nonsense of greetings, the content of the letter is roughly as follows: "Brother Master, you are too unfavorable, right? I sent an envoy to deliver a letter to me, and asked to secretly peek at the true or false Zhai Rang who I caught. I agreed. I was misled by stupid soldiers and regarded a fake Zhai Rang as the real one. If you find it is fake, you will immediately regret it and stop contacting me. You are too snobbish, right? Don't think you are hiding in Hulao Pass and not seeing me,

I can't do anything to you. Don't forget that the letter you wrote to me is still in my hands. You don't want me to hand over that letter to Zhai Rang, do you? We are all always in love and can discuss anything. If I promise you, I will definitely believe in what I promise you. If you promise me, I hope you will keep your promise. I hope you will actively send someone to restore contact with me before the sun rises on February 21st, otherwise you will know the consequences."

"Li Mi, how dare I contact Chen Yingliang with the traitor behind my back." Zhai Rang was so angry that he slapped the table and roared: "Who dared to let him secretly point out the authenticity of me? What is he thinking about? What is he thinking about?"

"Uncle, don't ask, Li Migou thief must want your life." Zhai Mohou immediately shouted, "At the time, uncle, if you are really unfortunately killed, Li Migou thief can immediately dominate Wagang and replace you."

"My brother, let's take action first. Take advantage of Li Migou's thief but doesn't know about this, and he will be defeated immediately." Zhai Hong couldn't wait to instigate him.

"Brother Zhai, don't be anxious, don't be anxious." Xu Shiyi quickly stopped him and reminded him: "Brother Zhai, this matter is too coincidental. We have to be careful that this is Chen Gouguan's plan to dissuade him. Chen Gouguan is extremely treacherous, and he will definitely get such a thing."

After hearing Xu Shiyi's persuasion, he thought of Chen Sangliang's cunning and viciousness. Zhai Rang calmed down a little, and then subconsciously shouted: "Take Li Mi's son right away and ask him what this is."

"My brother, you can't do this. Doing this is equivalent to telling Li Mi that we already know that he will definitely destroy the evidence of his crime. Maybe he will take the initiative to act first and attack us first."

Zhai Hong quickly dissuaded him. Xu Shiyi was worried that doing so would definitely cause estrangement or even cause unpredictable consequences, so he strongly opposed it. Zhai Rang said angrily: "What should I do? Let Li Mi's son know, how can we distinguish the authenticity of this letter?"

"Uncle, don't worry, my nephew has a plan to distinguish the true from the false." Zhai Mohou came up with a bad idea and said, "Tomorrow morning, uncle, you might as well order Li Mi to write a letter to Chen Gouguan, pretending to lure Chen Gouguan to attack the city of Jianjian, and let Li Mi use letters to mock Chen Gouguan for your stupid and stupid fool, fabricate the illusion of capturing you alive, insult him, and instigate him to attack the city of Hulaoguan. Then we will send someone to pretend to be Li Mi's subordinates and send this letter to Chen Gouguan. At that time, Chen Gouguan will have actions, and we can also take the opportunity to distinguish the true from the false."

After hearing Zhai Mohou's plan, Xu Shiyu felt it was unreliable, but Zhai Rang immediately praised it and made a decision: "I will do this trick. When it dawns tomorrow, I will act according to the plan."

So, the tragic life of the poor Li Mi and Master Li started again. The next morning, and the morning of February 20, Zhai Rang indeed found Li Mi and said that he wanted to lure Chen Sangliang to attack the city when he was not prepared. He ordered Li Mi to write a letter to mock Chen Sangliang for himself. When Li Mi smiled bitterly, he immediately persuaded and opposed it, saying that Chen Sangliang's face was three points thicker by the corner of the Great Wall. Such a aggressive plan was not only destined to be useless, but might also be tricked by the treacherous Chen Sangliang, and in turn designed to harm the Wagang Army.

Of course, Li Mi's opposition did not work. Zhai Rang, who was suspicious, insisted on forcing Li Mi to write a letter. Li Mi was forced to write a letter that mocked and insulted Chen Sangliang and handed it to Zhai Rang. Zhai Rang immediately acted according to the plan and ordered his confidant soldiers to pretend to be Li Mi's subordinates and took the letter to Luokoucang to contact Chen Sangliang. At the same time, Zhai Rang also secretly explained to the confidant soldiers and asked him to take the initiative to explain to Chen Sangliang, saying that the letter was written by him by himself, and Li Mi had no choice but to obey his orders.

The messenger sent by Zhai Rang returned to Hulao Pass in the afternoon and told Zhai Rang that he had pretended to be Li Mi's subordinates, and was treated in the Sui military camp. He was treated with wine and meat. After reading the letter, Chen Sangliang was angry and roared and asked Li Mi what it meant. The messenger reported that the letter was written by Zhai Rang forcing Li Mi. Chen Sangliang turned anger into joy and immediately asked Li Mi to take other letters or verbal messages. After the messenger denied, Chen Sangliang was a little angry and asked the messenger to bring Li Mi a verbal message, asking Li Mi to restore secret contact with Chen Sangliang before sunrise tomorrow, otherwise Li Mi would bear all the consequences.

The truth gradually emerged, and the suspicion on Li Mi was getting bigger and bigger. Although Xu Shiyi tried his best to persuade Zhai Rang to calmly consider and put unity first, his suspicion was aroused. After listening to Zhai Hong and Zhai Mohou's instigation, Zhai Rang ordered the Wagang army to be on guard secretly and closely monitor the Pushan public camp's every move. At the same time, he decided to continue to conceal the situation from Li Mi, strictly block the city, and prevent the envoys Li Mi from sending the opportunity to go out of the city to contact Chen Sangliang. When he waited the next day, he saw Chen Sangliang's reaction. Xu Shiyi persuaded him again, but was scolded by Zhai Rang. Xu Shiyi had no choice but to be forced to obey.

As a smart man, Li Mi certainly also secretly arranged eyeliners to spy on every move of Wagang Army. In history, Zhai Hong, a fool, privately encouraged Zhai Rangyu to destroy Li Mi as the emperor himself. Li Mi could find out such a secret matter. The Wagang Army secretly guarded and monitored friendly forces, of course, it was impossible for Li Mi to hide such a big move. In addition to trying hard to find out the reasons, in order not to have no power to fight back, Li Mi naturally had to let his confidant lackeys organize the direct army to prepare for war secretly and prevent them from happening.

As a result, the vicious cycle came out immediately. The Wagang army, who found that Li Mi's army was acting, was more vigilant. Naturally, they had to secretly raise the alert level and mobilize more troops to prepare for war secretly. When they noticed that the Wagang army did this, Li Mi's army certainly did not dare to sit and wait for death. They could only mobilize more troops to be on guard overnight, and repeated this. Li Mi himself was so worried that he didn't sleep all night. He didn't understand why Zhai Rang suddenly had water in his head, but he couldn't understand the reason. Although he vaguely guessed that Chen Sangliang's claws were stirring up the wind and rain, he was unable to know the truth and arrange countermeasures because of insufficient intelligence.

Fortunately, although there was a panic inside Hulao Pass on the night of February 20, no accident happened. Li Mi and Wagang Army were very restrained and calm, not as real as Du Fuwei and Miao Haichao. Finally, Li Mi went to see Zhai Rang immediately and tested the reason why Zhai Rang ordered the army to be on guard last night. As a result, he got the news that Zhai Rang had already visited the west gate of Hulao Pass. Li Mi had no choice but to take a team of confidants to the west gate of Hulao Pass, and then he saw Zhai Rang who was surrounded by a large group of Wagang Army generals.

Li Mi, who was once intimate and only wore a pair of pants, met this time. The atmosphere was very strange. Zhai Rang's confidants, led by Zhai Hong and Zhai Mohou, all held the handle of the knife and carefully kept the distance from Li Mi, which made Li Mi's student Wang Bodang and the captain of the soldier Cai Jiande very nervous. They quietly held the handle of the knife and protected Li Mi intentionally or unintentionally. Fortunately, both Zhai Rang and Li Mi were calm. When Li Mi asked about what happened last night, Zhai Rang also said that it was his agitated plan, which successfully angered Chen Sangliang. He was worried that Chen Sangliang would attack overnight, so the army was closely guarded at night.

Zhai Rang said this to deceive the three-year-old child. Li Mi guessed with her toes and knew that he was a traitor. If she really wanted to prevent the Sui army's night attack, Zhai Rang might not tell Li Mi about the situation, so she would also be prepared to avoid misunderstandings. However, when Li Mi asked why Zhai Rang didn't tell him again, Zhai Rang replied: "Pushan Gong, your team has worked hard for days and needs rest, so I didn't tell you."

Hearing such words, Li Mi could immediately determine that the situation was wrong, so he simply said directly: "King Zhai, the student dared to ask, is it because Chen Sangliang's traitor had done something else? Or was it for the students? If so, please let the king know that if the student really did something to do to the Wagang Yishi, the student would rather break his neck and apologize. In addition, the student also wanted to remind the king that Chen Sangliang, a little thief, is despicable and treacherous, and is best at fanning the flames and provoking discord. Du Fuwei and Miao Haichao went from being close to each other to becoming enemies because of this traitor. Please be careful and never repeat the same mistakes."

Zhai Rang's expression was a little ugly, and he forced a smile and said, "What does Pushan Gong mean? Why can't I understand? Do you think I was guarding against you when I happened last night?"

"King Zhai, of course the student knows that you are not guarding against me." Li Mi said a lie against his will and said, "The student just wanted to ask whether Chen Yingliang had any shameless actions before last night? Please let the king understand and tell him."

"So what? Are you guilty?"

Zhai Hong's stupid words almost ignited the gunpowder stabbing. Wang Bodang and Cai Jiande, who protected Li Mi, immediately held the knife hilt tightly. Fortunately, Li Mi stopped in time. Then Li Mi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, I guessed it. Chen Yingliang's little thief, you really have a crack in you. King Zhai, Old General Zhai, please tell me clearly, what did Chen Yingliang's little thief frame me again this time?"

Zhai Hong opened his mouth and wanted to swear again. Fortunately, Xu Shiyi stopped him in time and said, "Brother Zhai, don't be anxious. Duke Pushan, don't be busy either. Let's wait. If there are any despicable tricks in Chen Sangliang's traitor, it's time to do it. We will see Chen Yingliang's little thief's actions before talking about it."

Li Mi then understood the reason why Zhai Rang came to Ximen City. At that moment, Li Mi didn't say much, but just waited with Zhai Rang. At the same time, he was nervous and calculated, analyzing and guessing that Chen Sangliang might have used the divisive plan, the way to deal with it, and how to expose Chen Sangliang's despicable face and cleanse his innocence. The generals of the Wagang Army there were also many worries, and many people were constantly peeking at Li Mi, with concerns in their eyes.

After waiting for about half an hour, there was indeed movement on the west side of the road. More than ten Sui light cavalry galloped over. Li Mi also said that Chen Sangliang was planning to send envoys into the city, and he was still sneering in his heart. He was confident that he would expose Chen Sangliang's shameless trick in front of the Sui army envoy. Unexpectedly, after the Sui cavalry rushed to the city, he actually pulled his bow and shot an arrow, shot a feather arrow onto the city wall, and then drove his horse back, shouting neatly, "Please invite King Zhai to personally."

No Wagang general asked to send troops to pursue him, and his eyes were all focused on the feather arrow. After Zhai Mohou personally took people to pick up the feather arrow, he shouted from afar: "Uncle, there is a letter on the arrow, which is a letter to Chen Gouguan. I wonder who wrote the letter to Chen Gouguan?"

"Is it a forgery of my letters?" Li Mi's heart sank, but immediately felt a little more confident and said intimately: "Fortunately, most people can't forge my handwriting. I hope Chen Yingliang's traitors did not notice the three secret notes."

The letter was presented to Zhai Rang. When the generals of Wagang were surrounded and read it, they saw that the words "Chen Yingliang, the left-behind Dongdu of the Great Sui Dynasty," said the words "Chen Yingliang, a relative of the Eastern Capital of the Great Sui Dynasty," and the face of Wagang Zhi, immediately changed, and immediately recognized the familiar handwriting. Zhai Mohou, who had read some books, was even more treasured. He immediately exaggerated and exaggerated: "Is this handwriting so familiar? Have we read it there?"

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Li Mi's face, but Li Mi looked calm and said with a smile: "General Zhai, it is not difficult to forge handwriting. The student has been handling documents for King Zhai for more than a year, and his handwriting has been circulated. The student bought documents for Yang Xuangan that year. After Yang Xuangan's defeat, the letters and documents were confiscated by the government. It was easy for Chen Yingliang to find the original. What's more, in order to get her beloved sister back for General Shan Xiongxin, the student also wrote a letter to Chen Yingliang's traitor himself. The traitor was as careful as a post, and the possibility of leaving a letter was very high."

He looked at Li Mi quietly. Then Zhai Rang took out the letter and opened it to look carefully. He saw the familiar handwriting on it: "The sinner Li Mi, the book is left behind in the East Capital, the General of the Right Martial Guard, the internal history of the Henan Procuratorate, the Lord Chen Yingliang of Xuchang, the secret book in the box, the sinner read it, sighed three times and burst into tears..."

After reading the first sentence, Zhai Rang showed a puzzled look and asked: "The secret book in the box? What secret book in the box?"

Everyone in Wagang looked at each other in a glance. Zhai Mohou, who had reacted quickly in this regard, had already woken up and howled like a pig slaughtering pig: "When the wooden box, that wooden box money was contacted by the civil money dog ​​official, he gave Li Mi a wooden box on behalf of the dog official Chen, saying that it contained some grandparents and grandchild candy, but Li Mi did not open it in front of us."

"Yes," Zhai Hong also shouted: "When Qian Gouguan left, he said something alone next to Li Mi's ears, and none of us heard it."

Everyone present turned their eyes to Li Mi's face, and Li Mi's black face suddenly turned pale. I quickly remembered the wooden box that was still in his study, the snow-white rock candy in the wooden box, and the red silk at the bottom...

When Li Mi thought of the layer of segregation red silk, he immediately moaned in despair, "Chen Xiaozi, you are so cruel, so cruel, what a series of tricks."

"Pushan Gong, what's the chain of plans?" Zhai Rang asked in a cold tone.

"I'm trapped," Li Mi wailed again, then knelt down to Zhai Rang, bowed and said, "King Zhai, on the evening of February 17th, Chen Yingliang's little thief Qian Xiangmin did give me a box of grandparents and grandchild candy. The grandparents and grandchild candy had red silk at the bottom. The students can now be sure that the so-called secret book is hidden under the red silk, but the students can swear to the sky that they have never read the letter. Moreover, the box of candy, the students have not eaten a few pills, kept it in the study room and never touched it again. If the king doesn't believe it, he can send someone to check it out immediately."

Zhai Rang immediately ordered to pick it up, and Zhai Hongze next to him said gloomyly: "Brother, do you think that letter may be kept by Mr. Pushan?"

Li Mi's face turned pale again, and he suddenly thought of a possibility. If Chen Sangliang hadn't hid his letter in that wooden box, he would have jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it clearly.
