Liu Heimin's 100,000-strong army from the expedition to the rout, no more than a month, most of the time on the way and waiting for the battle, the real confrontation, only a few days, the entire Julu City, completely lost, heavy losses.

After the Dahua army occupied the city, they counted the materials, got tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass, thousands of war horses, and a lot of armor, but the Dahua soldiers looked down on the weapons of the Hebei army, which were all shoddy and could be used as scrap iron smelting.

Tens of thousands of armor soldiers were captured, and many of them were forced to capture strong men, all of whom were assigned to Xu Shiji for training. did not let them leave, because there may be some generals and officials of the Hebei Army hidden in it, and they need to be registered and identified.

Since the person was captured by someone sent by Liu Heimin, so, continue to fight, even if he dies in battle, let Liu Heimin carry this black cauldron, this is Dahua's shrewd side.

Luo Zhaoyun personally went to the city to speak, encouraging the three armies, boosting morale, and making the scene explode.

Hundreds of thousands of troops, seeing the legendary emperor Luo Cheng, so close to inspire and reward the three armies, all cheered.

Since the expedition, every battle has been won, which has made Dahua's morale unprecedentedly high.

"Soldiers, the war to unify the world is not over yet, and everyone still needs to work hard! Zheng Guoxin is destroyed, Xia Guo exists in name only, invades Xindu County, joins Youzhou soldiers and horses, liberates Hebei, half of the rivers and mountains north of the Yellow River, and will be included in the territory of our Dahua, do you have confidence? ”

"Yes! Yes! Yes! The three armies roared like thunder.

"Very good, the merits of the soldiers will be registered, and they will be rewarded according to their merits, the martyrs will be posthumously awarded martyrs, and their families will enjoy pensions, Dahua will not treat you badly as a man who fights the country!"

Inside and outside the city, all the soldiers heard it clearly and were a little excited.

Dahua rewards and punishments are clear, and he is not stingy with rewards, and regardless of the noble background of the poor family, he also treats ordinary soldiers very preferentially, which is the most touching place in everyone's heart, many soldiers, their eyes are a little red.

Luo Zhaoyun continued to say loudly: "Today, reward the three armies, kill cattle and sheep, you can drink for one night, and then you will have to reorganize the army, it is advisable to chase the poor and take Changle City!" ”

"Hooray, hooray!" More than 200,000 soldiers cheered.

………..

Luoyang City is under construction, to appease the people, Li Mi was made a county prince, and also part-time Shaofu Secretary position, responsible for building the city and pacifying the inevitable work, in the past two years he began to be a hegemon, to be a king, used to it, how can the emperor's freedom be comparable to a civil official who has no real power now?

After Li Mi worked for half a month, he was upset, borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, and after many of his former generals defected to Dahua, they were all made generals and followed Luo Cheng's Northern Expedition, so he could make contributions, and he wanted to build a house here and settle the refugees, which was too boring.

"They are all reused, but they didn't take me with them, it seems that Dahua, Your Majesty, is still guarding against me Li Mi, missing this battle to unify the world, do I want to be a mediocre lord in the future?" Li Mi was very depressed, felt too aggrieved here, and regretted running over, it was better to take the soldiers to the south, unite with Du Fuwei, Fu Gongtuo, etc., divide one side, and be his own soil emperor.

The more Li Mi thought about it, the more he lost, and he regretted it very much in his heart, and on this day, he found Wang Bodang and Jia Runfu to discuss countermeasures.

"Two, I, Li Mi, am also the dragon among people, I have been an emperor, a hegemon, and I was the leader of the Central Plains Alliance of the righteous armies of all parties, but now I have ended up in such a field and have become a civil official who repairs the city and does miscellaneous work. His Majesty Dahua took away the old ministers and old generals of Wagang, but did not bring a few of us, it seems that he can't trust us, rather than suffer here, depressed, it is better to leave, return to Qidi, go to Pengcheng, collect soldiers and horses, and then unite with Fu Gongtuo, Du Fuwei and others to establish a vassal state, and we will go freely. ”

After hearing this, Wang Bodang and Jia Runfu were taken aback, but they didn't expect Li Mi to be unable to bear his ambition and rebel.

Jia Runfu hurriedly said: "This must not be, Duke Wei, at this time and at that time, now the momentum of Dahua's annexation of the world is unstoppable, Duke Wei is gone, there is no possibility of success, and when the time comes, it is better to be a good lord here!" ”

Li Mi said very stubbornly: "Who said that Dahua will definitely be able to unify the world, it is true that it has this momentum, but the matter is man-made, as long as we huddle together in the south, take advantage of the terrain of mountains and rivers, the Yangtze River, and block Li Jing's army, we can still hold it and divide one side in the south." Saying that in addition to the Hebei Army in the north, Li Tang, Liu Wuzhou, and the Turks are in a hurry, and Li Tang and Liu Wuzhou and the Turks form an alliance, and Dahua may not be able to bargain, and this unification war may not necessarily succeed. So, we still have hope of surviving in the South! ”

Jia Runfu shook his head and said: "Since we have surrendered to Dahua, we must talk about credit, how to face the people of the world if we are so treacherous." ”

Li Mi stared at the two of them and asked, "In troubled times, it pays attention to success and defeat, not these false courtesies!" I've made up my mind, are you two willing to go with me? ”

Uncle Wang looked embarrassed in front of him, he knew in his heart that if he rebelled from Dahua, he thought that the future was bleak and life and death were unpredictable, but Li Mi was kind to him, he was also a teacher and a friend, and he used to be a monarch and a minister, so no matter how dangerous Wang Bodang was in front of him, he had to go with him.

"Duke Wei, my Uncle Wang's life is yours, no matter what the future is, where you go, Uncle Wang will definitely follow, although I know that our chances of winning are not great, but if the husband dies, he will die, and the sword will be a mountain of fire, follow Duke Wei!"

"Well, Bodang, I really didn't see the wrong person!" Li Mi was overjoyed, with Wang Bodang to follow, his right-hand man, and the most loyal, he had a little peace of mind

"Runfu, what about you?"

Jia Runfu pondered for a while and hesitated: "I don't want to go, I've been running around for the past two years, I'm tired, I'm tired, I just want to live here in peace, even if it's not reused, just have an official and a half position, even if I don't become an official, just reopen the restaurant in Luoyang." ”

Li Mi heard him refuse, and suddenly a fierce light appeared in the corners of his eyes, he was worried that after Jia Runfu didn't follow, he would betray him and Wang Bodang.

"Have you thought about it, Runfu, what does it mean to decline my invitation?" Li Mi's face was a little gloomy, and his tone turned cold.

"Is Gong Wei worried that I will leak your information?" Jia Runfu smiled faintly: "After all, the monarch and the minister, Duke Wei, please rest assured, I will never tell anyone about this matter, just when I repay the feelings of the Duke of Wei, if you still can't believe it, you can't kill people and cut me off." ”

Li Mi stared at him, holding down the wooden handle of the horizontal knife in his hand, and wanted to cut it out with a knife.

Wang Bodang immediately stood up and pleaded: "Duke Wei, I can trust Brother Jia's character, since he said it, then he will definitely be able to do it, let my brother go!" ”

Li Mi struggled in his heart for a moment, with his thoughts, of course, killing people is the most reassuring, but now if he does it, Wang Bodang will stop it, so that if he doesn't kill him, he will expose his own affairs, and let Wang Bodang feel cold, and the gains outweigh the losses, so he can only push the boat and let Jia Runfu go.

"I hope you can say it, do it, and keep your mouth shut about it."

Jia Runfu nodded and said: "That's natural, after I went out, I didn't think I had come, and in the past few days, I will pretend to be sick, and everything has nothing to do with me." He decided not to get along, just pretend to be a bystander, and neither follow Li Mi nor tell the secret.
