"If we kill each other, it's just a joke for the emperor. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In Luoyang City, Dou Dan said to Li Xiaogong and Luo Yi that the emperor's army was besieging the city, and no matter what, they would be defeated. At this point, there's no point in doing anything.

Luo Yi laughed a few times, "I never thought of betraying my friends for glory. ”

Li Xiaogong sneered, "You haven't written a letter of begging to Li Shimin, and you don't plan to exchange the heads of the two of us for your fame and wealth, right?" ”

"You don't have to say those things anymore, what's the point of talking about it now?"

Luo Yi was exposed, and he was not angry.

"What does the Dou Horse mean? You won't tell us to stay in this lonely city, will you? ”

Even if you keep it, you won't be able to keep it for long. Dou Dan knew very well that the food in Luoyang City would not last long at all. The most important thing is that Li Shimin will not let them go, if they don't surrender, they will attack at that time. "Ladies and gentlemen, even if we open the city and surrender, Li Shimin will not let us go, surrendering or defending is death, we might as well escape."

"Run? Where to escape? Li Xiaogong asked, "Luoyang City has been besieged by no less than 200,000 troops, and the siege is like an iron bucket, where can we escape?" Once out of the city, it is bound to be defeated. ”

"It's better to escape than to stay here and wait for death. We gathered our men and horses, selected an elite first, and prepared horses and dry food. Then we first sent someone to tell Li Shimin that we wanted to open the city and surrender, but the night before, we let other soldiers and horses break through on all sides, and then we took a small group of elites and broke through on horseback. ”

"Where to break through?"

"To the northeast, we will break through to Hebei and go to Liaodong."

"Liaodong?"

Dou Dan nodded, "Let's go to the Goguryeo people, and there is only one place to stay." ”

The three of them quarreled for a long time, and finally Li Xiaogong and Luo Yi reluctantly agreed to Dou Dan's plan.

Luo Yi came back from Dou Dan, but immediately called his brother Luo Shou.

"Are we really going to Goguryeo?"

Luo Yi sneered.

"If we can escape to Goguryeo, that would be a way out. From Luoyang to Goguryeo, this road is thousands of miles away, how can we escape? We may even be surrounded as soon as we get out of Luoyang City. Dou thought of it, this is a dead end. Forget it, so far, we can only take the risk, kill them, take their heads to see Li Shimin, maybe we can get a glimmer of life, at least a hundred times stronger than what they fled to Goguryeo. ”

Night falls.

Under the darkness of the night is restless restlessness.

Soon after dark, fires broke out everywhere in Luoyang City, shouting and killing.

Luo Yi still took the lead, although Dou Dan and Li Xiaogong said that they were unwilling to go this far, they were still wary of Luo Yi. The three armies of soldiers and horses, like three red-eyed trapped beasts, killed each other in the city.

The firelight and shouts of killing in Luoyang City spread outside the city.

Li Shimin stood up in his clothes and looked at Luoyang City, but he only sneered.

Five years ago, he defeated Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong here and captured the city of Luoyang. Five years later, it is still Luoyang City, but he is already besieging the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty.

Luoyang is a strong city, when Wang Shichong stood high in the strong city, guarded for several years.

But Li Xiaogong and Dou Sheng, they are not Wang Shichong.

He had expected that these people would kill each other sooner.

The fighting in the city continued all night, and it did not stop until dawn.

It wasn't until the afternoon that the Luoyang City Gate finally opened slowly.

The Luo Yi and Luo Shou brothers were covered in blood, and the two led their subordinates out of the city, and the brothers carried a human head.

The two came to Li Shimin and presented the heads of Li Xiaogong and Dou Dan.

Li Shimin looked at the Luo Yi brothers coldly, his eyes were full of disgust.

As soon as the emperor waved his hand, the guards stepped forward to take down the Luo Yi brothers, and the brigade of officers and soldiers surrounded the rebels who were out of the city.

"Slash!"

A word came out of the emperor's mouth.

Luo Yi struggled unwillingly, "Your Majesty, we will atone for our sins." ”

Li Shimin said disdainfully, "Your crimes are too numerous to mention, and you will never be able to redeem them." ”

After a while, the guards brought two heads, and the Luo Yi and Luo Shou brothers were dumbfounded, and their heads were placed together with Li Xiaogong and Dou Dan.

"Keep these heads, I will bring them back to Hanjing, and hang them at the city gate to show the public!"

"Your Majesty, what about these rebels?"

Last night there was an infighting, in which thousands of rebels died. But in the end, there were still nearly 100,000 rebels who surrendered, and in fact, the vast majority of these rebels were just people who were forcibly brought in.

"All officers above the rank of the squad shall be put to death. All the forbidden troops and government soldiers of the original imperial court who were thrown into the rebel army were assigned as slaves and auctioned in the market. Those who were originally ordinary people and were forcibly recruited into the army shall be sentenced to one year's hard labor and returned at the end of their service. ”

The emperor announced the disposition of the rebels, which was extremely harsh. Even compared to the Zheng army after the surrender of Wang Shichong in Luoyang, the handling was much stricter.

"Your Majesty, is it too harsh?"

"Since you have joined the rebels and committed these crimes, you must be punished." Li Shimin was unwavering.

The disposition was harsh, but no one dared to rebel anymore.

They had already left the city, and although they still had weapons in their hands, they were surrounded by the swords and guns of the officers and soldiers. In the end, they can only lay down their weapons and accept disposal.

When the emperor entered Luoyang City, his eyes were full of wolves.

There were hungry people everywhere, and there were ruined houses, looted shops.

Li Shimin ordered the transportation of military rations into the city and the distribution of porridge and grain to the people.

"Your Majesty, Hanjing good news."

A knight rode into the city and ran through the streets, bringing the latest good news to the emperor.

"King Yue has recovered Hanjing."

"What about the queen and the crown prince, are they safe?" The emperor asked with concern.

"Both the Queen and the Crown Prince are safe."

"What about the Emperor and the Abolished Prince?" The Emperor asked again.

Hearing that the Emperor Taishang and the deposed prince were killed by Li Shentong's subordinates who attacked the palace, Li Shimin was silent. But it was still good news, he didn't have to face these two men when he went back.

You don't have to deal with them yourself.

If the two men were still alive when he returned, he swore he would have killed them with his own hands.

After a period of silence, the emperor asked, "What about Li Chao?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, after King Yue entered Beijing, he immediately asked the prince to come to the court with Tianmen, restore the order of Hanjing, and hand over the military power of King Qin, and also resigned from the Shangshu Order and the Jiangnan Liudao Festival."

Hearing that Li Chao not only handed over the military power, but also asked the prince to place Qin Wangjun and others outside the city, Li Shimin was very satisfied. Li Chao always seems to be able to grasp the boundary of that scale, and he never seems to be greedy for power.

What does Li Chao like?

He seems to like knighthood, money, and comfort, but he doesn't like high positions in the court. This time, he asked Li Chao to go to Hanjing first, and he originally had many arrangements.

Unexpectedly, Li Chao broke his arrangements one by one.
