"I lost to the Sui army because there was a problem with my way of fighting, but it was definitely not a rebellion!”
Shan Xiong Xin shouted angrily.
His eyes were bloodshot as he said this.
Who was Shan Xiong Xin?
He had a strong personality and was a person who paid special attention to his reputation.
Even if Li Mi wanted to behead him for improper command, he could never use words like rebellion to discredit him.
Thus, it was completely reasonable for Shan Xiong Xin to be so agitated.
In addition, with Shan Xiongxin's personality, he would never say that the Sui army was too powerful and that he was no match for them.
Instead, he believed that the failure of this battle was due to his improper command.
He did not explain too much. Instead, he admitted his own problems and shortcomings.
He seemed like a real man, but in Li Mi's eyes, he was even more suspicious.
Ordinary people would find an excuse to escape when they were defeated, especially now that Wang Bodang was dead and only Shan Xiong Xin and Cheng Yaojin had returned, Shan Xiong Xin naturally had to explain himself.
However, Shan Xiong Xin's current actions were beyond abnormal, which only made Li Mi more suspicious.
"Betraying the Wagang Village, then betraying Wang Bodang, and finally coming to the Wagang Village to lure us to send troops?”
"It seems that in order to show your sincerity, you are planning to use the Wagang Village as a gift for surrendering.”
Li Mi did not show any mercy and mocked him.
"You!"
Shan Xiong Xin's anger was completely ignited by Li Mi's words.
His eyes were bloodshot, and the flames of anger in his eyes seemed as if they could spew out at any moment.
"Everyone, calm down. Killing Wang Bodang and then letting Shan Xiongxin and Cheng Yaojin come back looks like a counter-plot.”
Seeing that the situation was somewhat out of control, Qin Qiong hurriedly stood up to smooth things over.
"Sigh."
Xu Shiji gave a long sigh. Coming out to speak up for Shan Xiongxin at this time was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
"That's right, Duke of Wei. This is indeed very likely to be the enemy's plot to turn against us, but don't fall into the enemy's trap!”
The rest of the people tried to persuade him.
Li Mi swept his gaze across the crowd. He did not say anything, but fell silent.
Following Li Mi's silence, the atmosphere gradually eased up.
"All in all, I, Shan Xiong Xin, have never done anything wrong to the Tile Gang Village. I hope that the Duke of Wei will not accuse me of something unnecessary.”
Shan Xiong Xin panted heavily and sat down on the seat beside him.
"Alright, alright. I know your loyalty.”
Li Mi put on a fake smile and calmed down in a short period of time.
When Xu Shiji saw this, his heart thumped. Li Mi's attitude was truly abnormal.
"What we should discuss now is how to deal with the Sui army.”
Xu Shiji cleared his throat and spoke for the first time.
Whether it was Shan Xiong Xin who was fuming with anger or Cheng Yaojin who had an ugly expression on his face, they all calmed down.
Now, the Sui army was the enemy of everyone. Moreover, the Sui army had settled in Luokou Cang, so they could be in a stalemate with them for a long time.
"This matter can be discussed later. General Shan and General Cheng have just escaped death, so we should let them rest.”
Li Mi said lightly.
After saying that, he turned around and left without saying anything else.
This change in attitude stunned Shan Xiong Xin and Cheng Yaojin.
"Sui Jun succeeded."
Xu Shiji let out a long sigh.
He knew very well that the two main camps of the Tile Gang Village seemed to be living in peace, but in reality, it was not.
Whether it was Qin Qiong and the others, or Li Mi and the others, they all had private conflicts.
For example, Li Mi had once wanted to recruit women and build a harem, but this move was directly rejected by Shan Xiong Xin and the others.
Other than that, Li Mi also forced some people away and prepared to place his trusted aides by his side. This move was not only opposed by Shan Xiong Xin and the others, but also made them unhappy.
This was the initial conflict. Some of the actions of both sides made the other unhappy, but for the sake of the overall situation, they could endure it.
However, after Wang Bodang's incident, Li Mi probably wouldn't be able to endure it.
If only one person between Shan Xiong Xin and Li Mi could remain calm just now, then this plan would have been easily broken.
However, how could this be so simple?
Moreover, at this point, even if Li Mi knew or guessed that this was Sui Jun's counter-plot, his approach would probably still focus on dealing with Shan Xiongxin and the others.
"What kind of person is the grandson of Sui Shihuang?”
Xu Shiji muttered to himself as he stroked his beard.
……
After Li Mi returned to his bedroom, he secretly gathered all his trusted aides.
"Duke of Wei, what's the matter?"
The trusted aides from all sides came and bowed.
"Uncle Wang is dead, do you know?”
Li Mi's voice trembled.
This was his only trusted aide in the Tile Gang Village. Where else could he find such a loyal follower?
Therefore, Wang Bodang's death was like breaking one of his arms.
"I know."
The trusted aides from all sides said in a deep voice.
This was a big matter. The unhappiness in the meeting hall had already been heard by people one after another.
"150,000 troops lost to 70,000 Sui troops. It's ridiculous. Shan Xiongxin and Shan Xiongxin must have sold out the Wagang Village.”
Li Mi gritted his teeth.
Previously, he pretended not to suspect anything and even gave Shan Xiong Xin and the others some time to rest. This was to maintain the harmony on the surface.
It was just as Xu Shiji had thought. In addition, there was already a conflict between the two sides, and Li Mi felt that his position was threatened.
Li Mi would naturally make some moves in private. The internal strife in the Tile Gang Village was almost certain.
"Next, I will give you some tasks.”
Li Mi's eyes gradually turned cold, like a venomous snake lurking in the dark.
"Spread some rumors in private, saying that Wang Bodang was killed by these two people. They secretly joined the Sui army and prepared to attack the Wagang Village from the inside.”
Li Mi enunciated each word.
The expressions of his trusted aides changed drastically.
If these rumors were to spread, Shan Xiong Xin and Cheng Yaojin would have no place in the village.
If this rumor was only discussed by one or two people, it would naturally not be credible.
However, if it was three or four people, even most of the people in the Tile Gang Village would say the same thing. Even if Shan Xiong Xin did not betray them, they would still treat him as a traitor.
"Yes!"
Li Mi's trusted aides cupped their hands.
"Go down. Do this quickly. I want Shan Xiong Xin and Cheng Yaojin to be unable to raise their heads in the Wa Gang Village. In the end, they can only leave like stray dogs.”
Li Mi clenched his fists and said coldly.
The trusted aides cupped their hands and left quietly.
In less than half an hour, rumors about Shan Xiong Xin and Cheng Yaojin had already spread in the village.
Moreover, it seemed to be getting more and more intense.
There were many versions of the rumors, but no matter what version they were, they all had one thing in common. Shan Xiongxin and Cheng Yaojin had betrayed the Wagang Stronghold and killed Wang Bodang.
