Wang Bodang said: "Yes, even if we want to explain, we must first ensure our own safety. I suggest that we first conquer Taolin County ahead, then gather troops and horses to expand our strength, then cross the Yellow River, and wait until we reach Liyang.

It’s not an exaggeration to explain it to King Yan again.”

"Does everyone think so?" Li Mi asked. In fact, he just wanted to put all the responsibility for the betrayal on his subordinates to avoid being unfairly named.

"Otherwise, we will all die without a burial place." All the generals said in unison.

"That can only be like this." Li Mi felt sad: "God knows, it's not me, Li Mi, who is unrighteous, but it's just a villain who is causing trouble. The situation is forcing me. I hope King Yan can understand."

The plan was decided and Li Mi announced that the meeting was adjourned. However, after a while, Jia Runfu came back and said to Li Mi and Wang Bodang solemnly: "Mr. Mi, this matter must not be done."

Wang Bodang glared at him: "What do you mean, at this critical moment of life and death, do you still want to speak for Qin Hu? That guy doesn't trust us and wants to kill us all. Is it wrong for us to protect ourselves?"

Jia Runfu knew in his heart that what just happened must be a trick of Li Mi and Wang Bodang, but he couldn't point it out, so he could only go around and say: "I'm not saying that Duke Mi is wrong, but that King Yan has affection and righteousness for Duke Mi, and everyone in the world knows it."

You know, Taolin County is the territory of the Yan Kingdom. Once you raise troops to attack the city, it will be a rebellion. How will the people of the world regard Mi Gong?"

"In addition, the armies of Yang Gongshen and Sun Shixiao are nearby. Once launched, they will arrive at dawn and dusk. Even if we conquer Taolin County, it will be difficult to assemble an army for a while. We only have four thousand troops and it will be difficult to support them."

In fact, four thousand elite soldiers are enough to fight for world hegemony, but Li Mi's so-called four thousand elite soldiers are actually not elite, and their hearts are scattered, so they may not necessarily fight for him.

The place they are currently in is an important military junction for Qin Hu to fight against Wang Shichong. Yan troops are everywhere. Once launched, they will immediately fall into a tight siege.

But Li Mi and Wang Bodang believed that Qin Hu's previous actions showed that he was completely unprepared for Li Mi. Even if he was prepared now, he did not react to all the generals so quickly, so they still had a great chance.

Li Mi didn't want to deal with Jia Runfu, because he had no one around him now, and Jia Runfu was a general, so he still hoped that Jia Runfu could work together with him.

"General, do you still remember that my name, Li Mi, once appeared in a prophecy? The prophecy is a secret message from heaven. Anyone who answers the prophecy will surely unify the world. I, Li Mi, was only temporarily frustrated.

A village, this is God's test for the king. As long as we take another step forward, the situation will definitely develop in a direction that is beneficial to me. If the general follows me, he will be a great minister in the future. Please don't hesitate to wait and see."

"You are my confidant, but you actually have such thoughts. I am very sad. Since you don't have the same heart as me, do you force me to kill you now?"

Jia Runfu burst into tears: "Secretary, I really say this for your sake. If I am really a cunning person, I can just run away on my own at worst. Why should I come to you to seek death?"

"You said you answered the prophecy, but don't you know that man is determined to conquer heaven. In the past few years, heroes have risen together, and King Yan has experienced many difficulties and dangers. His reputation for benevolence and righteousness has spread throughout the world. Judging from the current situation, the heavenly phenomena must be on him.

Why should you seek death? Why not become a rich man?"

"Furthermore, the reason why Mi Gong was defeated was because he killed Zhai Rang and lost the trust of the generals. When you escaped from Guanzhong, no one helped you. Could it be that now that you are running back in a state of embarrassment, will they help you?

"

"I risk my life and just want to tell the secret public one truth, that is: not only will they not help you, but they will unite against you because they are worried about your annexation. By then, you will have no way to go to heaven or earth, and even in the end

The King of Yan who took you in has been offended, what should you do?"

Jia Runfu's words became more and more intense. What he said made Li Mi feel angry and desperate. Cold sweat broke out all over his body. He couldn't bear it anymore. He suddenly pulled out a horizontal knife and slashed at Jia Runfu: "I'll kill you."

"Clang."

Wang Bodang drew out his sword to block Jia Runfu, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, everyone has his own ambitions. If Lao Jia is not willing to work together with us, why do you have to force him? I know him, and he is by no means a treacherous person. I will kill him instead."

If you want to kill him and make your subordinates alienated, it is better to let him go."

Li Mi refused to let him go and insisted on looking at Jia Runfu on the spot. Jia Runfu also closed his eyes and waited for death.

But Wang Bodang has a very clear mind. He knows that Jia Runfu has always been very popular in Wagangzhai. Killing him like this will undoubtedly make the current extremely unstable military morale worse, and this matter cannot be made serious now.

, word got out and I don’t know how many people wanted to run away.

"Old Jia, you go quickly, I will stop the lord."

Jia Runfu was pushed out by Wang Bodang, and Li Mi slashed twice more, but all of them were blocked. He thought to himself, I can never fall out with Wang Bodang, otherwise I will really be dead.

"Clang."

Li Mi angrily threw the knife on the ground, stamped his feet and said: "Okay, okay, Jia Runfu, you despicable villain, let's wait and see. One day, I, Li Mi, will unify the world and I will sacrifice your head to the flag. You live well, we will always

One day when we meet again, you can go and be your lackey."

Jia Runfu was furious, but he also knew that staying here would lead to death, so he ran out quickly, pulled a horse and rushed out of the gate.

After he went out, he immediately ran towards Mianchi without any hesitation. He wanted to tell Sun Shixiao that Li Mi had plotted a rebellion and asked him to take precautions immediately.

Li Mi also knew that after Jia Runfu left, the matter would be exposed, so he immediately discussed the attack on the city with Wang Bodang.

Wang Bodang said: "Taolin County is close to Luoyang. Although it is just a county town, it is an important place for Qin Hu to prevent plunder. Thousands of troops are stationed there. If we attack by force, it will not be possible in a short time. I think we might as well outwit them.

Take advantage of the fact that Qin Hu’s generals have not received news of our rebellion.”

Wang Bodang devised a plan and asked Li Mi to write a letter to Li Huan, the magistrate of Taolin County, in the name of Wei Guogong. The general meaning was that Li Mi was about to go on an expedition to the east, and the journey was extremely dangerous. After arriving here, he suddenly

I felt that it would be a burden to have a family, so I left him in Taolin County and asked him to take care of me.

The magistrate of Taolin County was just a minor official. When he heard that the Duke of Wei was coming, he hurried out of the city to greet him and agreed to his request. However, he refused to let Li Mi's army enter the city.

Li Mi selected thirty elites, made them up to look like women, sat in a carriage, covered their heads with hoods, hid sharp knives in their clothes, disguised themselves as his family members, and personally led them into the city.
