The deceased one

After returning to the station for a long time, thinking of this experience in Wangwu Mountain, Cheng Mingzhen couldn't help but shake his head in admiration.

He couldn't guess who Wang Junkuo had instructed to escort Li Mi into Beijing with five hundred elite cavalry. I can't guess what kind of intentions Xu Maogong, who had nothing to do with Li Mi's old age, dedicated the name of the former to the Tang Dynasty. But one thing he can be sure of is that Li Mi is dying.

The facts of his later life are just as he inferred, and soon, Li Mi, the Duke of the Criminal State, and Wang Bodang, the general of Zuo Wuwei, abandoned their officials and fled because they couldn't stand the suspicion of the imperial court. In Bears Ears Mountain, he was intercepted and killed by Shi Wanbao, the general of the Right Yiwei who didn't know how many levels lower than the two of them, was in a different place.

Until his death, he betrayed countless friends and colleagues in his life, and Li Mi, who never knew how to write the word "loyalty", still believed that as long as he returned to Henan and raised his arms, the Wagang soldiers who had taken refuge in the Tang Dynasty would give up the fame and wealth they had already received, and gather under his command again desperately.

Although at that moment, there were less than three hundred soldiers following him, and only one general was left Wang Bodang.

Li Mi's death made the Tang court breathe a sigh of relief. That not only means that the Tang Dynasty will no longer have to bear the risk of rebellion from all over Henan, but also means that Xu Maogong, Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie, Luo Shixin and other generals of the Wagang Army can be used boldly and confidently from now on.

With the integration of these generals with strong martial arts and rich combat experience into the Tang Army, it will greatly make up for the lack of middle and senior generals in the Tang Army. Since this day, Datang has the ability to face two enemies at the same time, and the battle of unification has officially been put on the agenda!

In the face of opportunities, the operation of the Li Tang court has always been very efficient. This box had just allowed Xu Maogong and Wang Junkuo to collect Li Mi's body and bury it, and they immediately ordered to adjust the strategic layout, completely hand over the defense of the first line of Michi to others, and transfer Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and his subordinate Ganyuan Wagang generals to the north, and together with Li Jiancheng and Li Xu, they attacked Liu Wuzhou on three routes.

The addition of the new force immediately broke the short-term tranquility of Hedong and Hebei. Liu Wuzhou was unable to resist Li Tang's offensive, and asked for help from the Turkic remnants and Dou Jiande at the same time. The Turks were anxious to avenge their unsuccessful attempt, and despite the fact that their strength had not yet recovered, they marched south. When Dou Jiande heard the news, he also led the troops of the country to the north, trying to take advantage of the melee of the armies from all walks of life to take advantage of the fire.

Seeing this, Li Shiji and Xu Maogong, who had been given the surname of the country, immediately attacked Dou Jiande's back road, and the soldiers pointed directly at Dou Jiande's lair. As soon as the Liyang army moved, Wang Shichong of Luoyang immediately followed suit, and sent Liu Heimin, a favorite general under Li Mi in the original Wagang army, to lead 50,000 elite soldiers to cross the Yellow River and coerce Liyang.

One rode the wolf smoke, four princes, and seven armies. Across thousands of miles of mountains to kill a group, you have me behind you, and I have you behind me. After attacking and killing each other for nearly half a year, the Turks were defeated by the elite of Boling, defeated first, and fled north again. As soon as the pressure on the flanks was reduced, Luo Yi, the general manager of Youzhou, immediately led two thousand tiger horses to charge into battle, Dou Jiande, Gao Kaidao, Wang Bo and others supported 200,000 people, but they couldn't stop Luo Yi's life-fighting blow, and they were stepped on by the iron cavalry to the banner of the Chinese army commander, losing more than 40 generals, and the army broke out more than 200 miles before it stopped.

At this time, Dou Jiande finally remembered the benefits of Wang Fubao. On the bank of the Zhangshui River, he personally wore white clothes to give the funeral of Wang Fubao, who had been dead for many years, beating his chest and feet, and crying bitterly. Then he swore an oath to reaffirm his desire to share the prosperity of his former brothers. It happened that Xu Maogong returned to the division and fought a decisive battle with Liu Heimin, and the unknown general on the north side was in charge. Dou Jiande led more than 100,000 remnants of the army to roar, killed Qiu Xiaogang, the commander of the horse army under the command of Xu Maogong, and captured Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, Xu Gai, Xu Maogong's father, Wei Zheng, and Princess Tong'an, the sister of the Tang Emperor. Take advantage of the situation to break through Liyang.

As soon as Liyang was lost, Xu Maogong's abdomen was attacked by the enemy, and the grain and grass were cut off. had no choice but to lead his troops to surrender to Dou Jiande. Dou Jiande was overjoyed, leaving Xu Maogong's father Xu Gai as a hostage, and crowning Xu Maogong as the general of Zuo Xiaowei. Send him to fight his old enemy Luo Yi. At the same time, Wei Zheng was sent to Luoyang to thank Wang Shichong for his assistance, and by the way, he asked the Luoyang army to withdraw to the south of the Yellow River.

Wang Shichong received Dou Jiande's hand and scolded angrily. scolded enough, but he was unwilling to bear the notoriety of killing Xian, and sent Wei Zhengli back. Since then, Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong have become enemies, and their main energy has been refocused on the south. There is no time to give Liu Wuzhou any more effective support.

Several strong reinforcements were defeated and withdrawn, and Liu Wuzhou's situation became more difficult. first spit out the cities of Lou Fu and Xihe counties one by one, and then was forced to die by Li Shimin, the king of Qin, to protect the first line of the Fen River. In the middle of winter, Li Shimin sent his troops to cross the river from the ice and plunder in all directions. forced Liu Wuzhou to the left and right, tired of parrying.

Then Wang Junkuo defeated Song Jingang, Qin Shubao singled out Wei Chi Jingde, Luo Shixin and Wu Tianxi joined forces to attack at night and burn the Taiyuan city gate. Fortunately, the temperature dropped suddenly, the snow was heavy, and the Tang soldiers stationed in the field could not hold their weapons to attack the city, so they were forced to retreat, and Liu Wu and Zhou Junchen escaped a catastrophe.

This kind of wonderful duel between famous generals and famous generals, of course, it is not Cheng Mingzhen's turn to do anything. For the crown prince Jiancheng, he had touched a soft nail before, and there was really no need to touch it a second time until it was a last resort. As for Qin Wang Shimin, he just got more than 40 generals such as Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie, Luo Shixin, Niu Jinda, Wu Heimin, Zhang Liang, etc., and they can't afford to take care of a small governor of Zhaozhou. Therefore, Cheng Mingzhen is also happy to be idle, and every day he looks through the military newspapers, looks at official documents, and then goes in and out with Du Juan around the station, touring the mountains and rivers.

In the war years, the husband and wife get together less and leave more, and they often can't say a few words to themselves for a year. Now that there is no battle, we are tired of being together every day, but there is no need to say a lot of things again. Often a look has just been revealed, and the other side has already begun to do it. I just remembered an idea, but the other party suddenly opened his mouth, and it was exactly the same as what he thought.

Seeing his daughter and son-in-law Qin Se together, Old Scar felt very happy. The only regret is that no matter how anxious he is with his mother, the cuckoo still has no signs of pregnancy. For this reason, he whispered to his daughter in private, from "unfilial piety has three" to "raising children to rely on himself", and sometimes he muttered the cuckoo in a hurry, and simply stomped his feet and walked away. The old scar dragged the lame man out of the distance, and saw the figures of his daughter and son-in-law walking side by side in the sunset, grinning, and turned his head to find Hao Laodao to be nostalgic.

Alcoholic's Note: Hehe, it's the last volume. We hope you will support us. Alcoholics also know that everyone likes Li Xu more. But Cheng Mingzhen is not like Li Xu, his insistence on ideals is not as persistent as Li Xu, he is just a little person who wants to live a better life. This kind of little person is destined not to live too excitingly, but it is closer to you and me, who are also laymen.
