Chapter 823 Open Scheme: Coercion and Coercion!
In particular, Li Mi has been idle lately, so he has been making connections among the thirty-six rebel kings and has been inquiring everywhere about the Daoist troops under his command—the Great Wilderness Cavalry.
According to the intelligence obtained by Xuan Yuanpo's own intelligence organization, Konghuangzhai, this old fellow was actually secretly planning to incite a few dim-witted rebel kings to use the greater good to force him to give up the right to mobilize the Great Wilderness Cavalry.
How can anyone tolerate this?
As a powerful ruler like Xuanyuan Po, what he couldn't stand the most was others taking food from his bowl.
Now Li Mi is not only trying to steal food, but also planning to take away his pots and pans. How can Xuanyuan Po tolerate this?
Therefore, even Xuanyuan Po, who had initially viewed Li Mi's petty actions as a monkey show, could no longer tolerate it.
For the sake of this nominal alliance of thirty-six rebel kings, they can neither fight nor scold each other, and if they try to subtly hint at something, the other party will pretend not to know.
What can Xuanyuan Po do about this?
This letter from Xiang Yu gave him an opportunity, so he simply threw Li Mi, this troublemaker, over there and out of sight, out of mind!
Li Mi, sitting below Xuan Yuanpo, felt a chill run down his spine as Xuan Yuanpo looked at him, becoming secretly wary, but still trying to remain calm and expressionless.
At this moment, the rebel kings who had been signaled by Xuan Yuanpo understood and stood up one after another, praising Xuan Yuanpo to the skies.
"Alliance Leader Xuanyuan, you cannot leave! You are our pillar of strength; the battle situation on the Great Xuan Dynasty's side depends entirely on your leadership!"
One of the rebel kings below realized what was happening and quickly cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.
Although they were a bit incompetent, they still had some self-awareness, knowing that it was always Xuan Yuanpo who had been the one holding up the Great Xuan Dynasty against all the pressure.
If Xuanyuan Po were to simply walk away, how could these lowly soldiers possibly stop the Duke of Da Xuan Sui on the other side?
"Indeed, Alliance Leader Xuanyuan, if you leave, we will be like a group of dragons without a leader. How can we possibly contend with that scoundrel Yang Jian?"
Another rebel king echoed him, his face full of sincerity.
Xuanyuan Po smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, but a thought suddenly struck him: the real action was about to begin.
"You flatter me, sir. What merit do I, Xuanyuan, possess to dare to shoulder such an important responsibility?"
"However, since we're talking about breaking the deadlock, I'm reminded of someone who is exceptionally intelligent and meticulous, making him the best candidate for this mission."
Xuanyuan Po said modestly, then changed the subject.
As he spoke, Xuan Yuanpo's gaze fell on Li Mi again, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"Oh? Who is Alliance Leader Xuanyuan referring to?"
A rebel king at the lower end followed Xuan Yuanpo's gaze and immediately understood, feigning curiosity on his face.
Xuanyuan Po had been displeased with Li Mi for quite some time, and these rebel kings had all learned a bit about him.
"That is Brother Li Mi from Wagang Village."
Xuanyuan Po glanced approvingly at the sensible rebel king below him, then Li Mi spoke loudly, his voice filled with "trust" and "expectation".
Upon hearing this, the tent fell silent instantly, followed by a loud boom.
"Alliance Leader Xuanyuan, you flatter me. I am unworthy to accept such an important task."
Li Mi's face darkened, and he cursed inwardly, but he had to force himself to remain calm and stood up to bow.
Going to the Dayong Dynasty to open up new opportunities for the thirty-six routes is no easy task.
Not only do they have to deplete their own troops, but more importantly, they must confront the Nine Heavens Army under the command of the Duke of Zhenguo, who now nearly controls most of the Great Qian Dynasty. The latest chapter is packed with exciting plot twists! Come and check it out!
If we're not careful on this trip, we might not be able to come back!
But now Li Mi glanced at Xuan Yuanpo at the head of the table and knew that he was determined to send him.
Circumstances forced Li Mi to yield!
"Brother Li, you are too kind. You are both wise and brave. Under your leadership, Wagang Village was once very powerful. This mission is the only one that can be accomplished by you."
One of the rebel kings who had been won over by Xuanyuan Po immediately chimed in, his voice full of "sincerity".
"Yes, Brother Li, this is a golden opportunity. If you succeed, you will surely be remembered in history!"
Another rebel king echoed, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
Although this rebel king did not receive instructions from Xuanyuan Po, he believed that it was better for him to die than for his friend to die. As long as he wasn't the one going, everything was fine.
Now that someone has finally taken the lead, those rebel kings who didn't want to fight in the Great Yong Dynasty immediately responded.
Everyone turned into Li Mi's sycophants, praising him to the skies, saying that no one in the world could do without Li Mi for this trip to Dayong!
Li Mi cursed inwardly, but knew that he could no longer refuse.
He looked around and saw that the various rebel kings, whether genuine or feigning, were looking at him with anticipation, while Xuan Yuanpo was looking at him with an "expectant" expression, as if he would betray everyone's "trust" if he did not agree.
"Hmph, very well! I, Li, will accept this assignment!"
"But Li has one condition: this expedition must have sufficient troops and provisions; otherwise, Li will be alone and it may be difficult to succeed."
Li Mi gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.
Given the current situation, Xuan Yuanpo directly laid out his plan, using righteousness to pressure him, leaving him no room to refuse.

Given the current situation, Xuan Yuanpo directly laid out his plan, using righteousness to pressure him, leaving him no room to refuse.
Therefore, all he can do now is ask for more supplies to console himself.
"Brother Li, rest assured, I will take care of the troops and provisions for you."
"You only need to lead your troops there, and you will surely succeed."
Xuanyuan Po was overjoyed upon hearing this, but remained outwardly calm and nodded.
"Very well! In that case, I, Li, will obey and go!"
Li Mi cupped his hands in greeting, turned around and sat down, but in his heart he was already secretly planning how to deal with the situation that was about to unfold.
Upon seeing this, the rebel kings inside the tent applauded and cheered, praising Li Mi for his bravery and fearlessness, but in reality, they each had their own plans.
Xuanyuan Po watched this scene with amusement. He had been engaged in a heated battle with Yang Jian, the Duke of Sui of the Great Xuan Kingdom, which had kept him on edge.
Now, watching these monkey shows performed by the rebel kings occasionally is a great source of amusement for Xuanyuanpo.
He knew Li Mi was unwilling, but he couldn't refuse or decline at the moment.
Moreover, regardless of the outcome of this trip, he will profit from it.
If Li Mi succeeds, he can use the momentum to advance; if Li Mi fails, he can also use this to weaken Li Mi's strength, achieving two goals at once.
"Gentlemen, Brother Li has already received his orders and set off. We must also be prepared to provide support at any time."
"The Great Yong Dynasty and the Nine Heavens Army are not easy opponents. We must work together to achieve our great cause."
Xuanyuan Po said in a deep voice, a sharp glint in his eyes.
The rebel kings inside the tent nodded in agreement, knowing in their hearts that what Xuanyuan Po said was true.
The Great Yong Dynasty and the Nine Heavens Army are both formidable enemies; neither of them is an easy nut to crack.
But if someone goes out first to scout the way and test the waters, while they watch from behind, they might actually be able to put up a fight.
Only Li Mi stood at the lower end, his face ashen, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
