At this time, Li Yuan sent to comfort Zhang Daoyuan in Shandong Province had arrived near Qi County, so Luo Yi sent people to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty with Zhuo County and Shanggu County.

On December 13, Li Yuan issued an edict to take Luo Yi as the governor of Youzhou, seal the king of Yan, and give him the surname Li (for a period of time after that, Luo Yi should be called Li Yicai, but Luo Yi will resume his original surname in the future, and for the sake of reading smoothness, he has been called Luo Yi).

Xue Wanjun is the son of Xue Shixiong, and his younger brother Xue Wanche was favored by Luo Yi because of his wit and bravery.

Luo Yi got the effectiveness of Wen Yanbo, a direct confidant of Sui Tong, and used him as Sima. Luo Yi attached Youzhou to the Tang Dynasty, and Yanbo agreed with this matter; Tang issued an edict to Wen Yanbo as the governor of Youzhou, and not long after, he was transferred to Zhongshu Shilang.

Wen Yanbo's elder brother Wen Daya, at this time was the Huangmen squire of the Tang Dynasty, and now the two brothers are both close ministers of the Son of Heaven, and the yamen lives opposite each other, which is talked about by the people of the time.

The Gao Kaidao who recruited Luo Yi with Dou Jiande, Yu Wenhua and others was the general of the thief Geqian who led his troops to kill when Li Yin first arrived in Suozao County.

At that time, when Geqian's thousands of men and horses were defeated, Gao Kaidao was fortunate enough to escape with a few hundred men and horses to the north, and then collected the remainder, went north along the canal, invaded Yandi, and the army was revitalized again.

Until this year, Li Jing, the general of the Sui Dynasty's Right Military Guard, was still guarding Beiping County, and Gao Kaidao had led a large army to besiege Beiping, but he could not capture it for more than a year.

Li Jing saw that the food was gradually exhausted, so he sent people out of Beiping to rescue. Li Jing has affection for Luo Yi, Luo Yi was born in a poor family, and he single-handedly promoted Luo Yi, but after Luo Yi got Li Jing's letter for help, he agreed on the surface, but he didn't take action.

In the end, the only one who came to the rescue of Beiping County was Deng Wei, the Taishou of Liaoxi, and he only brought a few thousand people to come, and Li Jing had to lead his subordinates to move to Liucheng; Later, he was about to return to Youzhou, but was killed by an unknown group of robbers on the way.

Gao Kaidao then after Li Jing's death, marched to capture Beiping County, and then further captured Yuyang County, with thousands of horses, nearly 10,000 people, called himself King Yan, changed the name of the year to Shixing, and the capital was located in Yuyang.

Gao Tansheng, a monk of Huairong, took the county order to set up a fast for many people, and 5,000 monks rebelled against the people who participated in the fasting meeting, killed the county order and the generals of the town guard, proclaimed himself the Mahayana emperor, and established the nun Jingxuan as the evil queen, and changed the year name to ***.

After that, Gao Tansheng sent people to recruit Gao Kaidao, set up Gao Kaidao as the king of Qi, Gao Kaidao led 5,000 people to submit to Gao Tansheng, but not long after, he suddenly launched a rebellion, suddenly attacked and killed Gao Tansheng, annexed all his men, and since then dominated the northeast.

Faced with the attack of Dou Jiande's army at this time, Luo Yi was ready to fight, Xue Wanjun said: "The enemy is outnumbered, and the battle will inevitably fail, it is better to use the old and weak soldiers to line up with their backs to the castle and the water, and the other party will inevitably cross the water to attack us." I asked for hundreds of elite cavalry to be ambushed on the edge of the city, and when half of them crossed the river, they were attacked, and they were all victorious. ”

Luo Yi followed Xue Wanjun's advice.

Dou Jiande really led the army to cross the river, and when he was halfway across, Xue Wanjun suddenly led the cavalry to kill and defeated Dou Jiande.

Under the interference of Xue Wanjun's cavalry, Dou Jiande was never able to get close to Youzhou City. So he divided his troops to seize Huobao and Yongnu counties, but Luo Yi intercepted and defeated him.

The two sides fought each other for more than 100 days, but Dou Jiande could not conquer Youzhou, so he had no choice but to return to Leshou.

Dou Jiande knew that Luo Yi could not be defeated easily, so he turned his attention to Li Ji, Meng Haigong and others who were located in the south of his territory......

The huge Chang'an City, in fact, is under the jurisdiction of two counties, with Zhuque Street as the central axis, the east of the street belongs to Wannian County, and the west of the street belongs to Chang'an County, and Zhuque Street is the largest street in Chang'an City.

The light snow drifted, and the car of the Jin Wangfu was slowly driving on Suzaku Street at this time. Li Yin recently took his family to the Huangzhuang outside the city for a few days of leisure, and now he is returning home.

The carriage in which Li Yin was sitting was very spacious, and in addition to him sitting inside, Guanyin, Cailian, Fluttershy, Niuniu, and Xiaohu'er were all inside, and even with so many people seated, it was still not crowded at all.

A car with such a high specification as Li Yin is not something that anyone can ride. Now Datang has begun to gradually establish various systems, and there are clear regulations on what specifications of carriages are taken by officials of several grades, and if there are officials who do not follow the rules and privately own a carriage that does not conform to their status, it is a big crime.

Of course, these current rules are only scratched, and the implementation is not enough, even Li Yuan himself often does things that do not conform to the rules, such as every time he goes to the court, he often calls himself by his name, and likes to invite his ministers to sit on the same couch with him.

Liu Wenjing advised: "In the past, Wang Dao of the Eastern Jin Dynasty said something like this: 'If the sun is subordinate to all things, then how can all living things depend on its illumination?' 'Now His Majesty's actions have taken order out of order for the nobles and lowly, and this is not the way of the country for a long time. ”

Li Yuan said a little unconcernedly: "In the past, Emperor Guangwu of Han and Yan Ziling slept together, and Yan Ziling put his foot on the stomach of Emperor Guangwu of Han. Today's ministers are respected old colleagues, lifelong relatives and friends, and past friendships, how can you forget, don't be suspicious! ”

"King Jin returns home!" The carriage had stopped at the gate of the Jin Palace, and after the slave took a snort, the maid and woman in the palace walked out in an orderly manner, respectfully greeting Li Yin and the others.

As soon as Li Yin stepped out of the carriage, he saw a familiar figure standing next to the stone squat in front of the palace, and said with a puzzled expression: "Brother Wang? ”

The person next to Shi Squatting was Wang Junkuo, who rebelled against Tang and surrendered to Li Mi after Gao Kai's defeat a few months ago, and Wang Junkuo walked over with a somewhat embarrassed expression after hearing Li Yin call him.

After Wang Junkuo defected to Li Mi, he was not taken seriously by Li Mi, treating him like ordinary rebels who surrendered, and later sent him to garrison in a small city.

When Wang Junkuo rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, he was one of the eight governors who resisted Xue Ju with Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and he thought that after taking refuge in Li Mi, he must be power, wealth, and wealth, but Li Mi despised him so much, and he was suddenly very dissatisfied in his heart.

So Wang Junkuo planned to go back to the Tang Dynasty again, Wang Junkuo was thick-skinned, and he was not afraid of what others said about him, but he thought that if he went back empty-handed, he was afraid that he would not be able to regain his previous power, so he swallowed some righteous soldiers and horses through black and black, and then attacked and killed Li Mi's Xingtai City guard under the banner of Li Mi, and then re-surrendered to the Tang Dynasty through the previous relationship.
