After the defeat of Li Mi in Beibi Mountain, Wang Shichong took advantage of the victory to surround the Yanshi, and the guard of the Yanshi was Changshi Zheng Ting, and his subordinates waited for Wang Shichong to arrive, and immediately opened the city to let Wang Shichong enter the city.

At the beginning, Wang Shichong's family was in Jiangdu, followed Yu Culture and went to the slippery platform, and finally followed the general Wang Liang who surrendered Li Mi to Li Mi's army, Li Mi left Wang Shichong's family in Yanshi, planning to use them to recruit Wang Shichong.

At this time, the city of Yanshi was broken, Wang Shichong found his brother Wang Shiwei, his sons Wang Xuanying, Wang Xuanshu, Wang Qiong and others, and captured Li Mi's generals Zuo Pei Renji, Zheng Ting, Zu Junyan and dozens of others.

Wang Shichong then reorganized his troops and horses and marched towards Luokou, during which he captured Bing Yuanzhen's wife, Zheng Qianxiang's mother, and the children of Li Mi's generals, and comforted them, allowing them to secretly greet their fathers and brothers.

After Li Mi fled from Beibi Mountain, he ran to the base camp of Luokou, and when he led his troops to Luokou, the situation in Luokou had changed, and Bing Yuanzhen, who was guarding Luokou City, planned to surrender to Wang Shichong.

At the beginning, Bing Yuan was really a county official, committed the crime of embezzlement and fled, and followed Zhai Rang to Wagang, Zhai Rang let him be in charge of the clerk because he had been a petty official.

When Li Mi opened the shogunate and selected outstanding figures at that time, Zhai Rang recommended Bing Yuanzhen as a long history; Li Mi had no choice but to appoint him as a long history, but he never let him participate in the planning of military operations.

Li Mi planned to go to Beibi Mountain to resist Wang Shichong, leaving Bing Yuanzhen to guard Luokoucang, Bing Yuanzhen was greedy and shallow, and offended many people, before Li Mi's army set off, the general Yuwenwen said to Li Mi: "If you don't kill Bing Yuanzhen, he will inevitably become your disaster." ”

Li Mi did not agree to Yuwen Wenwen's words, but after Bing Yuanzhen knew about it, he had already planned to rebel against Li Mi; After Yang Qing heard about it, he reported Bing Yuanzhen's conspiracy to Li Mi, and Li Mi really suspected Bing Yuanzhen, but he was confronting Wang Shichong at that time, and he didn't have time to deal with Bing Yuanzhen.

At this time, Li Mi was about to enter Luokou City, but Bing Yuanzhen had secretly sent someone to recruit Wang Shichong. Li Mi didn't say anything after knowing it, and took the opportunity to discuss with everyone, waiting for half of Wang Shichong's army to cross Luoshui, and then attacked.

However, when Wang Shichong's army arrived in Luoshui, Li Mi's cavalry sentries did not find it in time, and when it was time to attack, Wang Shichong's army had all crossed the river, and Li Mi's last chance to turn the tables was lost in vain.

Since this expedition, Li Mi has made mistakes again and again, failing to stick to his own views strategically, neglecting the enemy carelessly not setting up a strong battalion, and negligently failing to detect the enemy......

Moreover, a place like Luokoucang was entrusted to the untrustworthy Bing Yuanzhen to guard! Liu Bang guarded the pass with Xiao He, and Liu Xiu used Kou Sui to control Hanoi, both of which finally won the victory, and Li Mi was negligent in such a deployment at such an important juncture, which made things gradually come to an irreparable situation.

At this time, Li Mi saw that Shan Xiongxin and others had to retreat their troops and have different intentions, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to support them alone, and they could no longer defeat Wang Shichong, so he led his subordinates to flee to the tiger prison on horseback, so Bing Yuanzhen surrendered Wang Shichong with Luokou Cangcheng.

Shan Xiongxin is brave and agile, good at riding horses and using spears, and his reputation is the first in all armies, and he is called "flying general" in the army. After the great change in Wagangzhai at the beginning, Fang Yanzao persuaded Li Mi to get rid of him because Shan Xiongxin was very rash about going and staying, but Li Mi cherished Shan Xiongxin's talent and couldn't bear it. At this time, after Li Mi was defeated and escaped from the tiger prison, Shan Xiongxin led his subordinates to surrender to Wang Shichong.

Li Mi wanted to go to Liyang, after all, there was also another big granary there, but someone said: "When he killed Zhai Rang, Xu Shiji almost died, and now that Duke Wei went to him after the defeat, how could he be saved!" ”

After Li Mi heard this, he hesitated, but he couldn't fully trust Xu Shiji.

At that time, Wang Bodang abandoned Kim Yong Cheng to protect Heyang (southwest of present-day Meng County, on the north bank of the Yellow River), and when Li Mi learned of this, he returned to Heyang from the Tiger Prison and summoned all the generals to discuss together, hoping to rely on the Yellow River in the south, defend Taihang in the north, and connect Liyang in the east, so as to try to make progress.

All the generals said: "Now that the army has just lost, everyone is cowardly, if you stay any longer, I am afraid that the people will defect in a few days." And if people are unwilling, it is difficult to succeed. ”

Li Mi said: "What loneliness relies on is everyone, since everyone is unwilling, lonely and poor." ”

Li Mi said, and said to Wang Bodang: "The army has been defeated, and the army has suffered for a long time, and now I will kill myself to thank the world!" ”

Li Mi said, and then pulled out his long sword, intending to kill himself.

Everyone was sad and wept, they couldn't look up, Wang Bodang hugged Li Mi and cried and fainted, Li Mi threw away the sword in his hand and sighed: "You are fortunate not to abandon each other, so you will return to Guanzhong with me; Although you have no merit, you will surely keep your wealth. ”

Fu Peng Liu Xie said: "The Ming Duke and the Tang Emperor are the same clan, plus there is a friendship of the past union; Although he did not raise troops with the Duke of Tang, he blocked the eastern capital, cut off the return route of the Sui army, and made the Duke of Tang occupy Chang'an without a fight. ”

And so did the people.

Wang Bodang just woke up at this time, and after hearing that everyone persuaded Li Mi to enter the customs and return to Tang, he hurriedly said: "Have you forgotten that Zhai Rang is also in Guanzhong now, and his powerful Jin King Li Yin is his backer, if Wei Gong goes to Chang'an, he can still save his life?" ”

After Li Mi heard this, his expression suddenly froze, and he didn't speak for a long time, and the cold sweat on his forehead showed the fear in his heart at this time.

The change of Wagangzhai, Zhai Rang was rescued back to Chang'an by Li Yin, and was entrusted with an important task by Li Yuan, wanting to make the Tang Dynasty make a difference in the Central Plains through him, but Zhai Rang seemed to be disheartened and entertained himself with wine all day long, but if he Li Mi entered the customs, Zhai Rang was afraid that he would not let him go easily.

Zhai Rang herself is not very powerful in Chang'an, but her daughter is married to Jin Lan by Li Yinyi, the king of Jin......

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Mi didn't dare to enter the customs, he said to everyone: "I don't have a good relationship with Li Yin, I will die if I enter the customs, you want to seek wealth and nobility, I won't stop you, if you are willing to continue to follow me, I will be very grateful!" ”

The generals talked a lot, more than half of them wanted to enter the customs to seek wealth, but finally half of them were willing to continue to follow Li Mi, Li Mi was mixed about this, and his heart was mixed.

Li Mi had more than 20,000 people at this time, until the end, Fu Peng Liuxie, Wei Zheng and others, took more than 10,000 of them into the customs to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and Li Mi's original generals, counties and counties were mostly subordinated to Wang Shichong, and even Zhu Cang, the king of Jialuo, who was originally nominally submissive to Li Mi, also sent envoys to surrender to Sui, and the emperor named Zhu Cang as the king of Chu.

As for Li Mi himself, he and a few generals such as Wang Bodang, with tens of thousands of remnants, retreated to Hanoi County north of the Yellow River, relying on the Yellow River and Taihang Mountain to defend themselves, slowly accumulating strength, waiting for the time to rise again.
