Chapter 61: The Fall of Wagang
Ziyi glanced at Sixi disdainfully, "You're right, I used beauty to seduce Li Yuanji, then Li Yuanji is so lustful, so I can succeed as soon as I seduce!" Didn't you go to the trouble of helping him get mine? Since I can't escape from Li Yuanji's palm, then I have to learn to protect myself and learn to survive here, right? Beauty is the biggest asset for a woman, and now His Royal Highness King Qi is obedient to me, and in this regard, Tong Sixi, you will never be able to compare with me! As for the child, I'll help you raise it first. Ah, by the way, eat less, lose weight, you are fat after giving birth, you are not beautiful in the first place, if you are bloated, I am afraid that Your Royal Highness will not look at you in the future. ”
Sixi watched Ziyi go out with Guerlain in tears, for the sake of the child, she dared not speak out......
Guerlain followed behind Ziyi, walked to a no-man's land, and asked, "Princess, how did you get the Fourth Highness to agree that the child should be raised by you?" ”
Ziyi said with a smile: "I told him that I like children very much, and I was very sad about the miscarriage last time, and now I am not pregnant, so I want to raise Chengye personally, and he agreed." ”
Guerlain nodded, "It's okay now, I'm not afraid of Concubine Tong making another moth." ”
Ziyi sighed, "In order to see the people of the world again, all we can do now is forbearance, and the other thing is to protect ourselves." ”
"Princess, I'm sure we'll wait until that day." Guerlain said, "But do we really want to help Concubine Tong raise a child?" ”
Ziyi said: "This is natural, I want to protect myself, and I don't want to harm others." The four joys are hateful, but they have nothing to do with children. Go and tell the people below to take care of your business. Food and clothing are indispensable to him. ”
"Yes." Guerlain answered and went. Leaving Ziyi alone to look at this big Li Mansion is a cage that she can't break through, if Mao Gong knew that he was in such a predicament, he would definitely regret sending her back. I don't know how Mao Gong is now, but I have ever thought of her.
"Ziyi!" Xu Shiyun sat up suddenly. It turned out to be a dream, and Ziyi in the dream looked at him with tears in her eyes and was silent. How so? Ziyi returned to Li Shimin, she must be living happily, how can she cry? I must have missed her so much that I had this kind of dream. Xu Shiyun opened the window, only to see that the east had already revealed the white of the fish's belly, and it was almost dawn, so just get up.
"General. Checkmate! There was a sharp knock on the door.
Xu Shiyun opened the door. He asked, "What is the alarm?" ”
Chang He said: "Just now, the spies came to report that Duke Wei was defeated!" ”
"Duke Wei is defeated? How can it be? Xu Shiyun grabbed Chang He and asked.
Will Wei Gong Li Mi also be defeated? Will the once-prosperous Wagang Army also face annihilation? What's going on? A qiē has to start from a few months ago.
After Yang Guang's death, Yu Wenhua and tens of thousands of the most elite Xiaoguo guards of the Sui Dynasty set out from Jiangdu to return to Guanzhong. Arrived in Henan in June and July. Henan's shape suddenly became subtle. Originally, it was a life-and-death struggle between Yang Tong and Li Mi in Luoyang. Due to the addition of Yu Wenji, both sides had to re-evaluate the shape shì. The scheming Wang Shichong gave Yang Tong a "dog-eat-dog" idea, which was to recruit Li Mi. Let him go to fight Yu Wenhua, and when both sides lose, Luoyang can take advantage of the fisherman.
Empty gloves white wolf, there are still such good things in the world, and Li Mi is not a fool? However, Li Mi actually agreed! Li Mi's wishful thinking is to surrender to Luoyang first, free up his hands to defeat Yu Wenhua, and then use the image of a hero and the military strength of Wagang to enter Luoyang to "coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes", and when the time is ripe, he will also play a "Zen Rang" like Li Yuan.
So Luoyang and Wagang reached an agreement to destroy Yu culture first. Keyu Wenhua is not a vegetarian, and took the lead in sending troops to attack Liyang, where Xu Shiyun was stationed. Although Li Mi and Xu Shichong have had a holiday, but the enemy is current, and even Wang Shichong can cooperate, not to mention Xu Shiyun. So Li Mi led a large army to rescue, and Xu Shiyun attacked inside and outside, defeating Yu Wenhua. Unwilling to fail, Yu Wenhua and Li Mi started a big battle in Tongshan. This battle was fought very fiercely, and finally ended in the defeat of Yu Wenhua, but 1,000 enemies were killed, 800 self-losses, and Wagang's elite troops were also heavily damaged.
After that, due to the lack of military rations, Yu Wenhua was defeated again and again, and lost the morale of the army, and some of his subordinates continued to surrender to Li Mi. The power of Daozhì Yu Culture and quickly collapsed, and was finally killed by Dou Jiande, which is a later story.
However, Li Mi's wishful thinking ultimately failed, and when he thought that Luoyang would open the door to greet him, he found that Wang Shichong was already waiting for him. Annoyed and angry, Li Mi soon fought a decisive battle with Wang Shichong at Pishan, and finally Li Mi was defeated. How did Li Mi lose? Even if Wagang suffered heavy losses in the battle with Yu Wenhua, his strength is still very strong, and he can't be defeated by Wang Shichong, a subordinate who has been defeated many times? It turned out that Wang Shichong learned a trick from Li Yuan's Tang Jun, that is, the trick of Huo Yi's battle Zixuan who asked people to shout in front of the battle that he had captured Song Laosheng. Wang Shichong thought this was a good move, so he came up with an upgraded version - found a person who was very similar to Li Mi, and then escorted him to the battlefield and shouted, "Catch Li Mi!" Catch Li Mi! "Seeing this, the Wagang army was disheartened, and they fled one after another, Li Mi was defeated in this way, you say that you are not wronged!
After listening to Chang He's report, Xu Shiyun thought for a moment and said: "Now that Wagang has been defeated, Duke Wei has nowhere to go except Liyang. You ask people to inquire again, so as to be ready to answer Duke Wei. ”
The sunset, ruined as blood, reflected the hellish battlefield of the mountain, the corpses of soldiers were all over the ground, the blood flowed like a river, and the air was filled with blood. With the clatter of horses' hooves, Li Mi and his surviving subordinates hurried through the wilderness to escape from the place of death.
"Gong Wei, where are we going now?" Qin Qiong stepped forward immediately.
Li Mi said: "Now I can only go to Liyang to meet Xu Shichang in order to make a comeback." ”
Cheng Yanjin also picked up the horse and said: "Duke Wei, when he killed Zhai Rang, Mao Gong was slashed in the neck and almost lost his life. And because of Yang Ziyi's girl, he went to Liyang by himself and never returned to Wagang. Now that we have been defeated and defected to him, can he treat each other sincerely? ”
When Li Mi heard this, he hurriedly grabbed the reins, yes, he forced Xu Shiyun like that at the beginning, can he still treat himself as before?
"Gong Wei! Wei Gong! ”
I saw Wang Bodang galloping on horseback, and there was a person behind the horse.
Uncle Wang stepped down and came to Li Mi, "Duke Wei, I went back to save Madame, but Madame had died in the chaos, and her subordinates were incompetent, so I only brought back Madame's body." ”
Li Mi dismounted and cried and hugged the corpse in his arms, "Ziyi! Ziyi! ”
But suddenly found that the corpse's jaw was covered with a layer of skin, Li Mi reached out and took it off, but saw that it was a human skin mask, where was the corpse Ziyi.
Qin Qiong stepped forward to take a look, "I didn't expect that there was really a disguise technique, Duke Wei was afraid that it was not Yang Ziyi who married at that time, it seems that Mao Gong used the strategy of 'stealing beams and replacing pillars', no wonder he didn't return to Wagang." ”
Seeing this, Li Mi couldn't go to Liyang. He staggered to his feet, looked up to the sky and shouted: "This world is so big, there is no place for me Li Mi." As he spoke, he drew his sword and wiped his neck.
Wang Bodang and Wei Zheng hugged Li Mi together.
Wang Bodang cried: "Duke Wei, I can't help it! ”
Wei Zheng calmly said to Li Mi: "Duke Wei, how can there be nowhere to go?" Li Yuan established Datang in Chang'an, and now the momentum is strong. Duke Wei and him have the same surname Li, and they were a family five hundred years ago, so it is better to go to him. On that day, Yang Ziyi said that she had a younger sister who could tell hexagrams, and Li Yuan deserved the world, if it was true, we would have a reliable home. And if Duke Wei married the real 'Ziyi' that day, I am afraid that he will hold a grudge because of this, since it is fake, it is not a matter of concern. ”
Li Mi thought for a while and said, "For today's plan, that's the only way to go." ”
The group of people turned around and headed towards Chang'an. Only Shan Xiong's confidence in calculating his own Xiao Jiujiu, vote for Tang? Wouldn't that be Li Shimin's subordinate? The man who made Yang Ziyi swoon, he wanted to kill him, and he must not come to his men! So, at night, Shan Xiongxin led the horse and slipped away alone, and threw himself into Wang Shichong.
After receiving the news that Li Mi came to vote, Li Yuan was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, this Li Mi is the leader of the anti-Sui alliance in the world, and now the alliance leaders have voted for Li Tang, which naturally increases Li Tang's appeal, not to mention that Li Mi's subordinates are like clouds, and there are more than 20,000 horses.
Li Yuan was afraid that Li Mi would regret it, so he sent a wave of envoys to meet Li Mi on the road. Therefore, Li Mi received warm hospitality everywhere he went on the way to Chang'an, which made Li Mi feel at home and was very optimistic about his prospects in Chang'an. Li Mi said to his subordinates that he was like Dou Rong who defected to Liu Xiu in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Li Yuan should give himself an official position at the level of a prime minister.
On the eighth day of October in the first year of Wude, Li Mi and others arrived in Chang'an. Li Yuan warmly received them, and affectionately called Li Mi the eldest brother, and married his cousin Dugu to him, and at the same time named Li Mi as the Duke of Xing Guo and Shangzhu Guo, but the actual position was Guangluqing. The so-called Guang Luqing is called the palace food minister at best, and the lobby manager of Li Yuan's family canteen is unpleasant. This is too far from the level of prime minister that Li Mi expected, Li Mi felt very uncomfortable, he was also the leader of a generation of alliances, and he was reduced to Guangluqing who was a running hall for others!
Soon, Li Yuan gave Li Mi another glorious task - to go to Western Qin to meet the triumphant Qin king Li Shimin.
When did the people win another battle? To make a long story, on August 9 of the first year of Wude, the Western Qin Emperor Xue Ju died violently, and the news reached Chang'an a few days later. Xue Ju defeated the Tang army in Qianshuiyuan in July, how did he die in a month? The cause of death was actually scared to death.
When the Tang army withdrew from the shallow water plain, Li Shimin hated Xue Ju so much that his teeth itched, and Zixuan persuaded him that Xue Ju would die soon and would soon fall ill and die. Li Shimin still didn't understand his hatred, he hated that he couldn't kill Xue Ju with his own hands, Zixuan said that it was not difficult to kill him, but he didn't need a knife or gun.
