When Li Yuan had just occupied Chang'an, Li Mi was sitting in the Central Plains. At that time, Li Mi sat in the two granaries of Luokou and Xingluo in the Sui Dynasty, and once had millions of soldiers.

At that time, the righteous army of the world recommended Li Mi as the "Duke of Wei" and elected him as the leader of the anti-Sui alliance. Li Mi wrote a letter to Li Yuan, asking him to lead troops to the Central Plains, join his anti-Sui army, and join the world together.

Li Yuan knew that most of the people who followed Li Mi were unemployed vagrants, and once the food was eaten, it would be gone. Therefore, he politely rejected Li Mi's invitation, and still honored Li Mi as "Duke of Wei".

Li Miqi is a noble person, has a very high self-esteem, worships Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu all his life, and has a strong heart of merit.

His grandfather Li Bi and Li Yuan's grandfather Li Hu were both the "Eight Pillars Kingdom" of the Western Wei Dynasty, and it can be said that Li Mi was born from a wealthy background and was after the standard aristocracy.

He, like Li Yuan, was able to enter the palace as a guard with a knife because of the merits of his ancestors, and gave the official a thousand cattle to prepare.

It's a pity that he doesn't like to do this job and wants to study to gain fame. Later, he did not get the fame, but he joined the team of his close friend Yang Xuangan who rebelled against the imperial court and served as the mastermind.

After Yang Xuangan's failure, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty listed him as the most wanted criminal and issued a sea capture document. Li Mi has been in hiding everywhere since then.

He joined several peasant rebels one after another, but did not stay, believing that these people were just reckless and could not achieve great things.

It wasn't until he came to the Wagang Army that he gradually emerged under the guidance of Zhai Rang.

Li Mi was like a fish in water in the Wagang army, fought many big victories one after another, and slowly began to gain high success.

Zhai Rang knew that his talent was not as good as Li Mi, so he took the initiative to let Xian and let Li Mi be the leader of the Wagang Army. But after a long time, because he felt that he was deeply in power, he was ready to seize power and restore the throne under the prodding of his left and right henchmen.

After Li Mi learned of this, he set up a Hongmen banquet and killed Zhai Rang.

Since then, the Wagang army has been divided into two factions, tilted against each other, and slowly began to decline.

When Li Mi learned of this, he wanted to win a few more battles in order to consolidate his position. He wanted to take advantage of the large number of people to take Luoyang City, but Luoyang City was firmly defended and could not be attacked for a long time. The soldiers gradually became centrifuged, and many were scattered.

Later, Yang Guang died, the Sui Dynasty mansion overturned, and Li Mi's goal of opposing the Sui Dynasty was realized. Since then, the Wagang Army has lost its goal of advancing and does not know where to go. In just a few months, most of Li Mi's troops were scattered.

At this time, the traitor Yu Wenhua led 100,000 forbidden troops to the north and passed through the Central Plains. If they want to return to Guanzhong, they must pass through Li Mi's territory.

Yuanwen, the Guanglu doctor of the small court in Luoyang, persuaded Li Mi to lead troops to exterminate Yu Wenhua, and invited the will of the little emperor Yang Tong, promising Li Mi that as long as this matter was done, all the old generals of Wagang could enter the court as officials.

Li Mi had been in battle for a long time, physically and mentally exhausted, and was anxious to enter the court, and after a few days of peaceful life, he agreed to Yuan Wendu's request.

But when he fought with Yu Wenhua and the blood, he was injured and lost too many troops.

The old enemy Wang Shichong took advantage of this to launch a surprise attack on Li Mi, and Li Mi was defeated and almost completely annihilated. Only a few followers remained, and they fled with him.

The Central Plains is the land of four wars, and even if Li Mi prepares for war again, if he wants to defeat Wang Shichong, it will take several years.

Li Mi knew that the Wagang Army under his leadership was gone. He then led a small number of retinues west into Chang'an and defected to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan warmly welcomed Li Mi's arrival, set up a banquet for him, and then married his cousin Dugu to Li Mi as his wife.

It's just that he was given the official position of Tai Changqing. Tai Changqing's responsibility is to be in charge of the palace meals, the operation of large and small banquets, and the diet of all the palace personnel is in charge of Tai Changqing.

Li Mi has been fighting horses for half his life, and he can't do such delicate work, so he often forgets this and that.

In fact, Li Yuan values Li Mi's talent very much. The reason why he was given this position was to hone him, so that he could think about everything and be sure to think about the problem of eating that everyone in the world looked at.

If Li Mi can do Tai Changqing's position well, Li Yuan will be more important to him.

It's a pity that Li Mi thought that Li Yuan was deliberately making things difficult for him, and gradually rebelled.

Under the pretext that he wanted to go east to Hanguguan, he appeased the old ministry in the past, and included all the land and population of the Central Plains under the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Mi sent a letter to Guguan, he gathered some people and conquered Taolin County.

Li Yuan got the retribution, knowing Li Mi's intentions, he wanted to make a comeback. If Li Mi really makes a comeback, it will be a big disaster.

Li Yuan then ordered the Tang general Sheng Yanshi, who was stationed in Bear's Ears Mountain, to lead his troops to shoot Li Mi to death.

Li Mi's life is also anti-Sui when he succeeds, and anti-Sui when he loses. After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, he lost his purpose and quickly went into decline and failure. This is so similar to the situation of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, Xiang Yu is, success is also anti-Qin, defeat is also anti-Qin!

They don't understand that all they need in the world is to survive and live, not to fight and kill all day long. Therefore, the issue of eating is a top priority in any era.

Although Li Mi died, he brought with him a large number of old Wagang generals and strategists, who began to serve the Tang Dynasty, further strengthening Li Yuan's power.

Li Mi's original territory was also attached to the Tang Dynasty, although many were later taken away by Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong, but after all, the people's hearts were still towards the Tang Dynasty.

Many of Li Mi's subordinates became important ministers in the founding of the Tang Dynasty and later governing the world, such as Wei Zheng, Xu Shiji, Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie and others.

Li Mi's return to Tang seems to have ended without a problem, but the contribution of the talent echelon he brought to Datang is undoubtedly huge and immeasurable.
