Luo Zhaoyun ordered that innocents should not be killed indiscriminately, so all the soldiers were taken into custody, and the people in the city did not go to disturb them, and the war situation was quickly controlled.
The accompanying soldiers once again felt the wonder of the young marshal's use of troops, and under completely unexpected circumstances, the city had been breached, and their reverence could not help but increase a few points.
"Clean up the city, check the armory, granary, household registration, etc., issue a document, and quickly stabilize the people's mind." Luo Zhaoyun said to Du Ruhui, who was promoted to grow up beside him.
"My subordinates understand." As a long history, he is actually the chief steward in the army, and these military affairs need him to register, record and other matters.
Luo Zhaoyun no longer interfered in these trivial matters, he trusted Du Ruhui's talent very much, and went directly to the wounded camp, first to comfort the wounded, and then returned to the yafu in Qiangcheng to rest, sleepless all night, to adjust the state as soon as possible, and continue to hold a meeting in the afternoon to discuss the matter of continuing to march.
The news spread to the defensive mountains around Tulou Mountain, where troops were increased one after another, and there were 20,000 people, who lived in the steep mountains and were not afraid of the arrival of the Sui army.
.........
The morning sun rose, the tiger prison closed the closed gate, slowly opened, Pei Renji father and son wore armor, walked out of the city gate, did not carry any weapons, held a helmet in one hand, and led a group of generals to surrender to Cheng, to welcome the arrival of the Wagang army.
Outside the city, Li Mi, Wang Bodang, Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin, Cheng Zhijie, Luo Shixin, Bing Yuanzhen, Wang Junkuo, Cai Jiande, Chai Xiaohe, Fang Yanzao, Jia Runfu and other generals and ministers gathered to witness this moment.
Li Mi's face was full of smiles, and he surrendered without a fight, this is the embodiment of his prestige, and it is also the effect of using strange tricks.
"The criminal general Pei Renji, with all the generals, surrendered to Cheng Wagang to welcome Wei Gong and others into the city." Pei Renji knelt on one knee and bowed to Li Mi with a high-level military salute.
Li Mi took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand to help Pei Renji, and said with a smile: "General Pei can wake up in time and get out of the tyrannical Sui, even if he is lost, what is the crime?" In the future, to fight against tyranny and relieve the suffering of the people, it is also necessary for General Pei's father and son, as well as the generals, to work together and seek a great cause. ”
Pei Renji stood up, feeling Li Mi's attention and respect for him, and he was quite content, feeling that Duke Wei valued outstanding people and had the potential of Mingjun, so it was also a good choice to take refuge in him.
"Please Duke Wei and the generals enter Xiongguan and accept the soldiers of the defenders!"
Li Mi was about to control tens of thousands of elite troops of the imperial court, and he was happy in his heart, so he grabbed Pei Renji and said with a smile: "Let's go, go in together, the soldiers here are still led by General Pei, and after a few days of repair, they will send troops to attack Luoyang." ”
Pei Renji's father and son heard that they were going to attack Luoyang, and their mood was somewhat complicated, after all, a few days ago, they were still loyal to the Yue King and the court in Luoyang, and just two days later, they were about to defect and lead the troops to attack Luoyang.
When Liu Chongli arrived outside the Tiger Prison Pass, he was a little shocked when he heard the news of Pei Renji's change of banner and surrender, he counted Li Mi's legendary experience in the past few years, and was somewhat uneasy, so commanding the princes, looking down on the overlord of one side, the heroic figure, there must be a group of resourceful people under his command to follow, with his three-inch tongue and a fake letter from Tang Gong, can he fool Li Mi?
Once Li Mi can't listen to it and sees through Tang Gong's conspiracy, will he pull himself out and cut him down?
Liu Chongli is a scholar after all, and he lacks the courage to use a knife or a gun, so he reached out and touched his neck, and his heart was full of worries.
However, he took over the mission, if he fled, he was afraid that he would never be able to return to Tang Guogong's camp, and he would even be despised by all parties, so he could only move forward if he was stubborn, I only hoped that Li Mi would become more and more arrogant and arrogant, and there would be no one in his eyes, and he might really be fooled.
Liu Chongli was at the West City Gate of the Tiger Prison, and after reporting his origin and identity, a guard introduced him into the city and took him to the Shuaifu.
After apprehensively giving the gift, he made his intentions clear, and at the same time handed over Li Yuan's handwritten letter.
Li Mi took the letter, and after reading it carefully, he was immediately overjoyed, Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, knew the current affairs so well, promoted him as the leader of the alliance, recognized him as the boss of the princes, and asked him to conspire with Daxingcheng, which was a great thing.
For a long time, Li Mi did not take those heroes who raised troops from the cold to heart, Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei, Liang Shidu, Xue Ju, etc., he didn't care, because since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the world valve occupies an important resource of the society, and the talented people with lofty ideals are more born in the aristocracy and the door valve, even if it is a declining nobleman, they must be more talented and knowledgeable than the children of the poor family, and they can win the world if they are supported by the door valve.
This is Li Mi's psychological cognition of being a noble gatekeeper, and he has been a little worried since he learned that Li Yuan had raised troops to the south, because Li Yuan was a nobleman in Guanlong, and he could get the support of many old nobles and become his strong opponent in the future.
However, Li Mi was naturally cunning and suspicious, and he would not believe it easily, so he pretended not to allow it, and sneered: "There is no basis for what he says, how does this king know that Tang Guogong is not deliberately showing weakness, and his plans are very big?" ”
Liu Chongli arched his hand and said: "Tang Gong is benevolent and generous, but he has no intention of plotting the world, only because of the situation that he has to raise troops, he is over fifty years old, but he has never been valued by the imperial court, and he thinks that his talent is not enough, but Wei Gong you are young, but you have the ability to cover the world, and all the people admire you, so that you can be unparalleled in the world, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, occupying several grains and grasses, strong soldiers and horses, fierce generals like clouds, can be called the crown of the heroes, no one and around, how can Tang Gong compare, just ask the position of the leader of this alliance, who can she be the Duke of Wei?" ”
Li Mi was praised by the other party for a while, and he was the only one in the world, a little fluttering, and after laughing, he lowered his face again, and said tentatively: "Why did Tang Guogong want to take Daxing City, did he follow that Cao Cao and coerce the Son of Heaven to make the princes fail?" ”
Liu Chongli shook his head and said: "Tang Gong has no intention of snooping on the throne, after all, he is over fifty years old, his body is sick, and he just wants to hug his family, because at that time, Liu Wuzhou raised troops and attacked Yanmen County, and the number of rebels around him increased, and Tang Gong suppressed it by force, so he could only push the boat down the river and return to Xijing with his subordinates Guan Long's disciples, so as to save his life, Tang Gong said, if Wei Gong can pacify the Central Plains and ascend the throne, he will bow his head and claim the throne, as long as Wei Gong is called the emperor, he will still be satisfied with the position of Tang Guogong. ”
"I see!" Li Mi thought about it for a while, and also felt that Li Yuan did not have any great talent, otherwise he would not have been idle for decades, and secretly thought that if Li Yuan really had no ambitions, then what Liu Chongli said was in line with the truth, Xijing himself did not take it for the time being, or focus on taking Luoyang, and then it was not too late to take Daxing City.
