Li Mi was newly defeated, the vitality has not yet recovered, the Luzhou Assassin Shi only had more than 6,000 soldiers and horses at this time, although it occupied a dangerous place to defend, but under the onslaught of the Tang Army, it only held on for less than five days, Mangfu Pass was broken by the Tang Army, and the Luzhou Assassin Shi appointed by Li Mi also died in the chaos.

Li Yin immediately waved his troops south, and it didn't take much time to recover all of Luzhou, and then continued to lead the army to march to Zezhou, all the way like a bamboo, basically did not encounter any decent obstacles.

Zezhou Thorn Shi is Li Mi's henchman Wang Bodang, he and Li Yin are also old friends, when Li Yin was the ten leaders of Wagangzhai, Wang Bodang was also in Wagangzhai, although the two did not have a deep friendship, but the relationship was not bad.

Because there were not many troops, Wang Bodang concentrated all the troops of the rest of the cities in Zezhou in Jincheng, the seat of Zezhou, and planned to defend Jincheng to the death.

After Li Yin's soldiers besieged the Jin city, he asked people to shout under the city to persuade Wang Bodang to take the initiative to surrender the city. Li Yin originally wanted to catch up with Wang Bodang, but remembered Wang Bodang's reputation of "wearing Yang in a hundred steps", so he dispelled that idea.

The people who persuaded him to surrender shouted so loudly that his voice was almost dry under the city, but Wang Bodang did not show up, Li Yin knew that Wang Bodang was determined to follow Li Mi all the time, so he did not say anything more, and immediately ordered the whole army to start attacking the city.

The two sides fought for several hours, with the cooperation of various sophisticated siege equipment, the Tang army was about to capture the city wall of Jincheng several times, and under the personal leadership of Wang Bodang, the men and horses fought hard, and barely held the city in time.

At dusk, Li Yin ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and Jincheng was temporarily preserved, but anyone could see that in the face of the attack of the elite of the Tang Dynasty, this important place in Zezhou was already in danger, and it was even more difficult for Wang Bodang to hold Jincheng.

Whether it is Luzhou or Zezhou, it has not been occupied by Li Mi for a long time, and the people's hearts have not yet been attached, and most of the people still regard themselves as the people of the Tang Dynasty at this time, and when they heard that Li Yin, the king of Jin, led troops to recover Jincheng, everyone was very happy.

That night, Li Gaoren, a small official in Jincheng, and others led hundreds of ordinary people to suddenly attack at the third watch, killing the soldiers defending the north gate and opening the north gate to welcome the Tang army.

Before Li Gaoren seized the city gate, he did not get in touch with Li Yin, and when he captured the north gate and sent someone to inform Li Yin, the generals around Li Yin thought it was some conspiracy of Wang Bodang.

However, Li Yin made a quick decision, personally led the cavalry to gallop to the north gate of Jincheng, and then asked Su Dingfang and other generals to lead the infantry to follow.

Li Yin soon led the cavalry to the north gate of Jincheng, when Wang Bodang's soldiers had begun to fight back frantically, wanting to recapture the city gate, Li Gaoren and others had poor weapons, and many people held kitchen knives, hoes, and wooden sticks, so under the counterattack of Wang Bodang's soldiers, most of them were killed and wounded in a short time, but they still protected the city gate with their lives, and finally waited for Li Yin. If Li Yin hesitated a little, I am afraid that the blood of these five hundred people would be shed in vain.

The cavalry rushed into the city like a torrent, trampled the soldiers who had slaughtered the people into pulp, and then scattered and killed, and Wang Bodang's army broke and fled, no longer resisting.

Wang Bodang, who was in the Assassin's Mansion, was greatly annoyed after learning that the north gate had been lost, and once organized soldiers to counterattack, but later after the Tang army infantry also entered the city, he reluctantly escaped from the south gate with the remnants, and Jincheng was captured by the Tang army.

Jincheng was established, and the rest of the cities in Zezhou also surrendered to Li Yin, and the land of the two states occupied by Li Mi took advantage of the chaos to be recovered by Li Yin.

The army rested in Jincheng for five days, and then continued south, heading straight to Li Mi's hometown of Hanoi County, where Li Yin planned to take advantage of the victory to pursue and uproot Li Mi.

But at this time, Fang Xuanling persuaded Li Yin: "Li Miliu is useful to the King of Jin, it is better to seize the important land in Hanoi and return." ”

According to the previous plan of Fang Xuanling and others and Li Yin, it was to raise Kou to town Hedong, if Li Mi was completely eliminated, then the largest Kou Ke in Hedong would be gone, which was contrary to the original plan, so Fang Xuanling spoke out to advise.

After Li Yin heard this, he was silent, and after a long time he said that he would think about it again, Fang Xuanling had no choice but to retreat, and he couldn't figure out why Li Yin's hatred for Li Mi was so great.

Although Li Yin did not make a decision whether to eliminate Li Mi, when he led his army to Tianjing Pass, which is located in the north of Hanoi County, he suddenly came with shocking news that Li Mi actually led 5,000 troops, abandoned his old nest Hanoi County, fled to Hebei, and went to Dou Jiande!

After this news came, both Li Yin and other generals were greatly surprised, no one would have thought that Li Mi would make such a decision to break the wrist of a strong man.

The reason why Li Mi made such a decision was also after some careful consideration.

Liu Wuzhou was defeated, and the situation in Hedong gradually stabilized, and it was not very possible for him Li Mi to try to plot the land of Hedong again. Li Yin attacked Luzhou and Zezhou, and his troops were very strong, and since the troops were dispatched, it only took about half a month to reach the vicinity of Hanoi, and its momentum was unstoppable.

There is Taihang Tianwei in the north of Hanoi County, and Tianjing Pass is also one of the Xiongguan passes in the world, which is indeed relatively easy to defend, but Li Mi knows that Li Yin uses troops, and he has always been complementary to each other and will not attack Guancheng in a proper manner, whether he can hold Hanoi County, Li Mi does not have much confidence.

At this time, Li Mi heard that Dou Jiande suffered another defeat when attacking Luo Yi in Youzhou, and his strength was slightly damaged, so he immediately had other thoughts.

If you can't seek Hedong, why not Hebei?

As soon as he thought of this, Li Mi's originally gloomy heart immediately became hot again.

Hebei is a good place, whether it is property, or population, terrain, are enough to become the basis for hegemony in the world, when Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, it was by virtue of the land of Hebei, sweeping the **, dominating the world!

After thinking about it again, Li Mi resolutely made the decision to evacuate Hanoi County, and took the only remaining 5,000 elites to Dou Jiande.

Li Mi knew that with his current strength, he would not be able to use strong means to grab Hebei, so he planned to take refuge in Dou Jiande and then slowly try to ......

Li Mi had taken the initiative to abandon Hanoi County, and the heroes of Hanoi County went to Tianjing Pass to meet the Tang army, Li Yin wanted not to capture Hanoi at this time, but he couldn't, so he waved his troops south and smoothly took over Hanoi County, which had no ability to resist.

drove away Li Mi and got Hanoi County, this result is actually very good, although there is one less Hedong Dakou, but the south of Hanoi County is Henan, which is Wang Shichong's territory, and Wang Shichong is undoubtedly one of the most important enemies that the Tang Dynasty will deal with next.

Therefore, although Li Yin has one less reason to deal with Li Mi, he has a reason to deal with Wang Shichong, and he can continue to lead troops outside.
