Chapter 159
Zhai Rang has been full of vigor and vitality in the past six months. Since Li Mi came to join him, the strength of the Wagang Army has greatly increased, and it has already established the foundation of Zhuolu.
However, a sense of worry followed, as Li Mi's popularity was faintly overshadowing him as the leader of the village.
The brothers in the mountain village talked most about how powerful the second in command was every day, and had long forgotten about him as the leader.
As time went on, the position of the leader of the village would be taken away by Li Mi.
However, the Wagang occupied the river transportation intersection and robbed the official grain transport, which angered Yang Guang, who appointed Zhang Xutuo as the governor of Xingyang to suppress the Wagang Army.
Zhang Xutuo was famous both in the court and in the martial arts world. He was known as the best gunman of the contemporary era with his "Kuangfeng" spearmanship, and was arrogant and brave.
He had previously led troops to defeat several rebels such as Wang Bo, Pei Shi, Guo Fangyu, and Zuo Xiaoyou for the Sui Dynasty.
Besides himself, his two generals Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin were also very brave.
After he led his troops to Xingyang, the Wagang army was killed and fled every time they met, which made Zhai Rang afraid of him.
That is why Zhai Rang knew that Li Mi was ambitious and a great threat, but he did not dare to take action against him and could only give him an important task.
At this moment, he was worried in the hall, but saw Yue Zhuoqun, who was dressed in Taoist robes and had a handsome and elegant face, walked in.
A trace of boredom flashed in his eyes.
Yue Zhuoqun was called one of the three heroes in Wagang, all because of his great knowledge of Taoism, and he had never shown any other abilities.
Seeing Yue Zhuoqun coming, he thought he wanted to exchange Taoism with him.
He was an ambitious person, how could he be interested in this? He felt very bored.
However, the annoyance in his eyes soon disappeared, and he smiled and said: "Mr. Yue, I have been worried about the situation in Wagang these days and have no time to talk about Taoism with you. Why don't you go find Mr. Xu, you two should be able to talk."
Yue Zhuoqun smiled and said: "The village chief has misunderstood. Yue is not here to discuss Taoism, but I know that the village chief is worried, so I came to offer advice."
"Oh?" Zhai Rang was aroused with some interest: "Sir, do you know what I am worried about?"
"No more than Zhang Xutuo and Li Erzhaizhu."
Zhai Rang's eyes condensed, For the first time, he observed Yue Zhuoqun seriously, and after a while he said, "Sir, what can I do to relieve my worries?"
"Take Xingyang!"
"Haha, Zhang Xutuo is extremely brave, and Wagang can't avoid him, so how can we take the initiative to provoke him."
"Although Zhang Xutuo is brave, he is crazy and has no strategy, so he is not worth worrying about. If Wagang can take Xingyang, build a military base, and wait for the army to be strong, not only will Li Mi not have to worry, but also the world can be conquered."
As soon as these words came out, Zhai Rang's heart was beating wildly. This was indeed a good strategy.
"But in addition to Zhang Xutuo's own strong martial arts, his two generals Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin are not easy to deal with. It is not easy to defeat these three people."
Yue Zhuoqun raised the corner of his mouth: "The village owner can give me a group of soldiers and horses, and I will defeat them."
"You?" Zhai Rang subconsciously showed disdain on his face.
But the next second, he felt a strong aura emanating from Yue Zhuoqun, which made him breathe slowly and it took him a long time to come back to his senses:
"Sir, you have been in Wagang for so long, I didn't realize that you are also a top master."
His eyes flickered, and he thought secretly:
Yue Zhuoqun has been hiding his abilities for so long, I am afraid he is as ambitious as Li Mi.
However, if Yue Zhuoqun can be supported and check and balance Li Mi, it would be a good idea.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he was about to nod, but he saw two more people walking in from outside the door.
The leading man was burly, with bright eyes and a domineering aura.
Following behind was a pretty woman in white.
The second in command Li Mi and the beautiful military strategist Shen Luoyan!
"Li Mi greets the village chief!" Li Mi came to the hall and stood still. He first bowed to Zhai Rang, and then smiled to Yue Zhuoqun: "Mr. Yue is here too?"
"Second Master Li is polite." Yue Zhuoqun smiled and nodded, his eyes lingering on Shen Luoyan for a moment.
Shen Luoyan, as her name suggests, has a beauty that can make fish sink to the bottom of the water and geese fall to the ground.
"Beautiful military strategist" is what Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling call her, which is not an exaggeration at all.
There are many beautiful women in the world of Shuanglong, and there are countless women with strong martial arts.
Shen Luoyan's martial arts are not weak, but she is most famous for her wisdom and military tactics. No woman in the world can beat her in this regard, even Li Xiuning, the princess of the Li family, is slightly inferior.
Zhai Rang raised his eyebrows. He came just when they talked about Li Mi: "Second Master came to see me, but do you have something important to discuss?"
Li Mi looked at Yue Zhuoqun with a hesitant look.
"Mr. Yue is also my brother, so you can talk."
Li Mi nodded and said, "I want to ask the leader for a military order to attack Zhang Xutuo and occupy Xingyang."
Zhai Rang narrowed his eyes and became alert, wondering if Li Mi had overheard the conversation just now."Second Master and Mr. Yue are in sync. He just offered me a suggestion and wanted to lead an army to attack Xingyang, and you came right after that."
Li Mi and Shen Luoyan raised their eyebrows, surprised that Yue Zhuoqun had such vision and courage.
"Haha, I only knew that Mr. Yue was a Taoist scholar before, but I didn't expect that he also had such insights into the battlefield situation.
But commanding troops to fight is different from sitting and discussing Taoism. How can Mr. Yue, with his noble body, go to the battlefield in person? Let Mi do it!"
Yue Zhuoqun smiled but didn't say anything, just looking at Zhai Rang.
Zhai Rang was very afraid of Li Mi. Now that he had this choice, he would never let Li Mi attack Xingyang alone and continue to grow his strength.
Sure enough, Zhai Rang waved his hand and said, "Second Master, don't underestimate Mr. Yue. He can come up with this strategy, which shows that he is not an ordinary scholar."
Seeing that Li Mi still wanted to speak, he continued to add, "Let's do this. The battle of attacking Xingyang will be completed by Mr. Yue and Second Master together.
I will transfer 2,000 soldiers and horses from the mountain stronghold, and Second Master will also transfer 3,000 from Pushan Camp to Mr. Yue. You will attack Xingyang in two ways. This will be foolproof."
Li Mi's fist hardened.
How can I not see that Zhai Rang is intentionally weakening his strength?
Just looking at Zhai Rang's smiling face and sharp eyes, he can only endure it.
Wagan, in the end, is still Zhai Rang's decision. He is not strong enough now, and it is not time to overthrow the other party.
Take a deep breath and smile: "That's good, then I look forward to Mr. Yue's performance on the battlefield."
"No problem!"
Humph!
Li Mi snorted coldly and left with Shen Luoyan.
After leaving the hall, Shen Luoyan frowned and said, "Lord Mi, Zhai Rang is intentionally supporting Yue Zhuoqun to compete with us."
"He is just a scholar who practices Taoism. Do you really think that you can go against me just because you are called one of the three heroes of Wagang? Fighting on the battlefield is not just talk!" Li Mi sneered disdainfully.
"He has the strategic vision to advance to Xingyang. He should not be a fool."
"It doesn't matter. What if I give him a group of soldiers?
The army of Pushan Camp only recognizes me as their lord.
It's fine if you don't ruin my good deeds on the battlefield, but if you dare to ruin things, don't even think about returning to Wagang."
