After resting for two days under the Wujiao Pass, Li Shimin led the army west to return to Luoyang.

The reason why Li Shimin had to wait for two days was that he wanted the news of the Tang Army's victory to spread first, so that the whole world would know about it, especially Wang Shichong, who was in Luoyang City.

Li Shimin treated Dou Jiande very favorably, but in order to make Wang Shichong completely dead, he asked Dou Jiande to cooperate and get into the prisoner car and come to the north gate of Luoyang City.

Li Shimin pointed at Dou Jiande in the prisoner car with a horsewhip, and shouted to the city: "Wang Shichong, look at who is in the prisoner car, he is here to rescue your Dou Jiande!" I advise you to stop struggling and surrender obediently! ”

Wang Shichong knew that the Xia army was defeated under the Wujiao Pass, but he never imagined that Dou Jiande would also become a prisoner of the Tang army.

At this point, the only hope in his heart was also shattered, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.

The next day, Wang Shichong led more than 2,000 princes and ministers out of the city to surrender to the Tang army.

Li Shimin accepted Zheng Guo's seal, sent troops into Luoyang City, and informed Chang'an of the news of the victory.

After entering the palace, Li Shimin ordered Fang Xuanling to accept the books and archives of the former Sui, and ordered Xiao Yu, Dou Liang and others to seal the treasury and collect gold, silver, cloth and silk to reward meritorious soldiers.

When they came to the majestic Qianyang Palace, many soldiers who had never been to Luoyang City couldn't help but be amazed.

This hall is the largest single building in the world, which can accommodate more than 10,000 people to gather in it at a time.

Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "When I was young, I came to this hall with my father and eldest brother, marveled at its majesty, and was also shocked by the strength of the Great Sui. At this time, I knew that this hall was drenched in the blood and tears of millions of people. ”

Fang Xuanling took over the conversation and said: "Emperor Yang is proud of his strength and prosperity, and he is so happy, such a majestic palace has not come in handy a few times, but has added too much burden to the people. ”

Li Shimin nodded, lost in thought. He remembered in his mind the past when Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, burned down the Afang Palace, and shook his head again. Instead, he ordered the Qianyang Hall to be demolished, and all the wood removed was given to the people to rebuild their homes.

Luoyang City was already full of corpses at this time, and there was no one to bury the starving dead, because the remaining people didn't even have the strength to carry the corpses and dig pits.

Flies and insects fly, and plagues are rampant.

Li Shimin ordered military doctors to go door-to-door to save the dead and help the wounded and distribute food.

Sprinkle every street with lime, sweep the streets, dispose of corpses.

After that, Li Shimin ordered more than ten people in Wang Shichong's camp, including Duan Da, Shan Xiongxin, and Zhu Cang, who committed the most heinous crimes, to be beheaded by Luoshui.

Zhu Cang is a famous man-eating demon king, when he rebelled, the soldiers did not have military rations, so they ate human flesh. You can see how cruel this person is!

The people hated him so much that they struck his body with rubble, and the rubble buried his body.

After everything was taken care of, order was restored in Luoyang City, and the people gradually settled down.
