Li Shimin led the cavalry troops to pursue Song Jingang, marching more than 200 miles in one day and one night, engaging dozens of times, and breaking Song Jingang's troops. The next day, he encountered the Song Jingang army eight times, won eight battles, and captured tens of thousands of people.

That night, the Tang army camped on the spot in the Bird Mouse Valley, Li Shimin had not eaten for two days, did not take off his armor for three days, and there was only one sheep left in the camp. In Jiexiu (now Jiexiu, Shanxi), Li Shimin met Song Jingang again, and Song Jingang still had 20,000 horses at this time, and set up a position outside Jiexiu City, preparing for a decisive battle with Li Shimin.

His soldiers were already terrified by the defeat and had no fighting spirit. Li Shimin's situation is not much better, the soldiers have not eaten for several days, and they have the strength to fight. Li Shimin sent the general Li Shixian

(that is, the folk rumors of Xu Maogong, the former Li Mi general, has now returned to the Tang Dynasty) led the soldiers to retreat slightly, Song Jingang thought that Li Shiqian was afraid, ordered the army to pursue, Li Shimin went around to the back of Song Jingang's army, at this time, the car>@环6 ies was struggling

Li Shimin killed more than 3,000 people, and Song Jingang fled on horseback. Soon, Chi Jingde, the general of the Song Jingang Department who stayed in Jiexiu, and others surrendered to Li Shimin. As Li Shimin expected, the Tang army won a complete victory.

Since all the belongings were in the hands of Song Jingang, Liu Wuzhou, who received the news of the defeat, did not hesitate at all, and decisively decided to withdraw from Taiyuan and flee to the Turks.

History has once again proved that the life of a traitor is always not easy, Liu Wuzhou was not comfortable in the Turks, and it is understandable, after all, you are a fallen emperor. There's no use value anymore, why should people be polite to you. It is indispensable to look at people's faces.

After a long time, Liu Wuzhou couldn't stand it anymore and planned to flee back to Ma Yi (Ma Yi was still in the hands of Liu Wuzhou's generals at that time). When the Turks found out, they killed Liu Wuzhou. Song Jingang's ending was the same as Liu Wuzhou's, and he was also killed by the Turks. Their story seems to tell future generations, don't be a traitor, don't be a traitor.

The flattering Wang Shichong In that era of resonance and impassionedness, Wang Shichong cannot be regarded as a hero, and he is not a hero, we should call him a hero.

Wang Shichong. The words are full, the ancestor is the Hu people of the Western Regions, his grandfather Zhi Yuan (sound n four sounds) moved to Xinfeng (now Xinfeng in the northeast of Lintong, Shaanxi), after the death of Zhi Yuan, his grandmother remarried a person surnamed Wang, and then his father followed the surname Wang, and he was therefore surnamed Wang. When Emperor Wen of Sui was Yang Jian, Wang Shichong became a petty official because of his military exploits.

When Yang Guang became the emperor, Wang Shi did everything he could to slap horses. flattered Yang Guang everywhere, Yang Guang said east, he didn't dare to say south, he was obedient to Yang Guang. All of them looked at Yang Guang's face and acted. Whatever Yang Guang likes, he will find something for Yang Guang, and there are strange things. What Yang Guang hadn't seen, he presented it to Yang Guang. In order to please Yang Guang, he proposed various suggestions to Yang Guang. It's all about obeying Yang Guang's meaning.

He knew that Yang Guang was extravagant and liked beautiful women, so he built Yang Guang to expropriate folk women; He knew that Yang Guang liked beautiful houses, pavilions and pavilions, so he built Yang Guangxing and built palaces for his own enjoyment. Gradually, Yang Guang fell in love with this obedient courtier, and the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it became, and soon promoted Wang Shichong to Jiangdu Tongshou (Jiangdu at that time, like Chang'an and Luoyang, was a provincial-level city).

Wang Shichong is not the same as other ministers who can only flatter and sloppy Yang Guang, other people only know how to slap horses and hide whenever something happens, the reason why Wang Shichong is different from them is because Wang Shichong has something to do. Facts have proved that Wang Shichong is not only a good hand at slapping sycophants, but also fighting wars. …

When Yang Xuangan rebelled, Jiangnan people Zhu Xie (sound xi four sounds) and Guan Chong raised troops to respond, and the momentum was huge, and Yang Guang ordered the generals Tu Wanxu and Yu Juluo to go to the conquest, but they did not get it. Wang Shichong recruited more than 10,000 people in Jiangdu, waved his army to conquer, and defeated them one by one, and it didn't take long to put Zhu Xie and Guan Chong down.

Yang Guang saw that Wang Shichong was so brave and faintly had the material of a general, and he was happy in his heart, I really didn't see the wrong person, so I trusted Wang Shichong more and more. After that, Wang Shichong dealt with the underworld a lot, and his record was very good, almost never defeated. Moreover, Wang Shichong is still very righteous, in that era when soldiers are not treated as human beings, Wang Shichong is very interesting to his subordinates, has military merits, pushes it to his subordinates, has rewards, and distributes them to his subordinates, and the items captured in the war are also distributed to his subordinates.

Wang Shichong's reputation is very good, and the soldiers also support him, and he is more handy in fighting, and it is difficult to win the battle with such a unit. Li Mi tossed around in Luoyang enough, although he never attacked Luoyang, but several times Luoyang was in danger. Yang Guang left behind to guard Luoyang was his grandson Yang Tong, the king of Yue, who was still a child at the time, younger than the acting king Yang Yu.

Under the pressure of Li Mi's height, this child couldn't bear it anymore, and kept asking for help from Yang Guang (Yang Guang was in Jiangdu at this time). In July of the first year of Yining (617), Yang Guang sent Wang Shichong to lead the elite soldiers of Jianghuai to rescue the eastern capital Luoyang.

Since then, Wang Shichong and Li Mi have been fighting in the Central Plains in the history books, these two people are like enemies in fate, and today they finally came together, they are all first-class people of that era, and they will stage a decisive battle of wits and courage for the world. However, history seems to be ironic, they have given a lot, they have planned a lot, they have sweated and left blood, they have lost battles, they have won battles, they have shed the blood of many people, and they have shed no less blood, they have gambled with their lives, but victory does not belong to them.

Are they just an insignificant supporting character? I think not. They are the deserved protagonists, although they later fail. Li Mi's strength is strong, well-armed, food is sufficient, the generals are good at fighting, and the soldiers are brave, relatively speaking, Wang Shichong is much inferior, fortunately, there is Luoyang, a big rear support, from time to time to give some assistance and support, otherwise Wang Shichong will have to be defeated by Li Mi sooner or later, and the defeated cannot turn over.

Therefore, in the first stage of the Central Plains War, the two won and lost each other, and no one could help anyone. Until the first month of the first year of Wude (618), Wang Shichong took the initiative to attack Li Mi, but was defeated by Li Mi. fled to Heyang in a gloomy way, not daring to meet Luoyang. I am afraid that Yang Tong's child will be angry and kill himself.

It's obvious. Wang Shichong thought too much, now that Li Yuan has invaded Guanzhong, there are not many people who can still work for the Sui Dynasty, and finally there is such a person, Yang Tong will not let go of anything. Even if you're a peanut, I'm going to squeeze out some oil.

Yang Tong politely sent someone to invite Wang Shichong, add him to the rank of knight, reward him with beautiful eyebrows, gold and silver, and silk, hoping that he can return to Luoyang. And to ensure the safety of his life. Yang Tong is very benevolent and righteous, what is the magic of you who defeated the battle, it would be good if you didn't kill you, and reward you, so you can steal the fun. If only ordinary people had gone to Luoyang with their mouths wide open, they would have thanked him.

However, Wang Shichong is not an ordinary person, because he still did not go to Luoyang, or rather, he went to Luoyang and did not see Yang Tong. Gather the remnants of the defeated generals, there are about 10,000 people, and this buddy is stationed in Hanjia City, in the north city of Luoyang.

Since then. No matter how arrogant Li Mi is outside, how invincible he is, Wang Shichong just turns a blind eye. Pretend you can't see it, and I won't fight you anyway. It seems that Wang Shichong was scared by Li Mi. In fact, the person who scared Wang Shichong has not yet appeared? To be exact. The people he was afraid of had not yet met him. …

Wang Shichong is not afraid of Li Mi, he has always been, and the last defeat triggered Wang Shichong's reflection, but it did not make him afraid of Li Mi.

In fact, he had been waiting, waiting for an opportunity to annihilate Li Mi in one fell swoop. After the last failure, Wang Shichong learned to forbear, learned to wait, and learned a lot of things he didn't know before. He believed that he had grown up, and that he had grown faster than Li Mi.

He is right about this, Comrade Li Mi cannot be said to be growing up now, if he does not regress, he will burn high incense, in fact, he has been constantly regressing recently. Humility makes people progress, and pride makes people lag behind. **'s sentence is very reasonable, and it is also very applicable to Li Mi.

Li Mi's success is because he is humble; Li Mi's failure was because he was proud. Li Mi's background is the same as Li Yuan's, they are all **, it is easy for people to be jealous, and he became a duke when he inherited his father's title.

The difference is that Li Yuan's Tang Guogong and Li Mi's Pushan County Gong. Li Mi, the word Xuandi, the ancestor is a native of Liaodong, great-grandfather Li Bi served as Situ in the Western Wei Dynasty, entered the Northern Zhou Dynasty as the Taishi, Wei Guogong, grandfather Li Yao (sound ya four sounds) Xing Guogong, father Li Kuan Pushan County Gong, Li Mi inherited his father's title is also Pushan County Duke. Let me tell you a story about Li Mi's reading in the corner. One day, the weather was clear, the wind was smooth, Li Mi rode on the back of the ox, hung the "Book of Han" on the horns of the ox, and the ox walked forward on his side. ‘‘

Yang Su (Yang Xuangan's father, prime minister of the Sui Dynasty) happened to pass by, and was very surprised to see such a scene, and he had the meaning of working so hard and having the style of my year, so he asked Li Mi: "Why are you so diligent?" Li Mi knew Yang Su, and bowed down to the cow: "Be diligent for the sake of diligence." Yang Su asked again: "What book are you reading?" The tone was gentle, and it seemed that he saw the shadow of him in Li Mi. Li Mi replied: "The Biography of Xiang Yu." ”

Yang Su was taken aback for a moment and thought: It's the same as I was back then. He said, "Future, future", and walked away talking to himself. Li Mi thought: I also know that I have a future, you can use it.

When he returned home, Yang Su said to his son Yang Xuangan: "I think Li Mi's future achievements will definitely be above you." Yang Xuangan was very unconvinced, although he didn't say anything in his mouth, he was very unhappy in his heart, better than me, that's not necessarily, Dad, you look away, don't you know your son's ambition? Since Dad is so optimistic about Li Mi, Yang Xuangan has the meaning of getting acquainted with Li Mi, and the two have become very good friends, in Yang Xuangan's eyes, although Li Mi's talent surpasses many people, but it is still a little worse than himself, at most he can be one of his right-hand men.

Of course, in Li Mi's heart, he also gave himself and Yang Xuangan an evaluation. Relatively speaking, Li Mi's evaluation is more in line with the facts. Once Yang Xuan asked Li Mi: "If the world is in chaos, who can be the boss, you or me?" ”

"The two armies are fighting, charging into battle, killing the enemy, I am not as good as you; Gather talents, recruit heroes from all over the world for my use, and make the best use of their talents, you are not as good as me. In the ninth year of the Great Cause (613), Yang Guang crusaded against Goguryeo for the second time, taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Xuangan raised troops against Sui and summoned Li Mi, who made a detailed strategic plan for Yang Xuangan, a total of three strategies, divided into upper policy, middle policy, and lower policy.

This is a multiple-choice question with three options, which one to choose? It depends on Yang Xuan's sense that he doesn't know the goods. At this time, Yang Xuan felt that his true level was revealed. The strategy was to cut off Yang Guang's retreat, and the success was fast. But the risk was high, and Yang Xuangan did not choose; The middle strategy is to attack the pass. Not only is the risk small, but also stable, even if you can't be the emperor, you can also divide one side, Yang Xuangan didn't choose these two strategies, but chose the most lame strategy, attacked Luoyang, and said to Li Mi unashamedly: "Your next policy is my best policy." ”…

In the end, Yang Xuangan told us with facts that he didn't know the goods. Luoyang Jiancheng. It was easy to attack, and Yang Xuan felt that he couldn't attack for a long time, and was trapped outside Luoyang City until Yang Guang transferred several troops to encircle and suppress it. He also became more and more estranged from Li Mi, and did not listen to Li Mi's opinions (many of which were correct), and Yang Xuangan's failure was inevitable.

Yang Xuangan was killed in defeat, Li Mi was arrested, and with his cleverness Li Mishun escaped, he successively went to the rebel army of Hao Xiaode and Wang Bo. But they were not taken seriously, probably treating him as an ordinary intellectual, and did not discover Li Mi's superhuman talent and ability.

Li Mi, who was depressed, realized that life was so difficult. Realizing how elusive the realization of his ideals was, he was sad and angry. He was helpless, he hesitated...... Desperate, he seems to have become a luxury to survive in troubled times. Warlord scuffle, underworld robbery. The officials and soldiers also robbed, and there was another drought, and there was no food, so Li Mi used tree bark to satisfy his hunger.

Later, he lowered his standards and did not aspire to become a big man, but just wanted to survive in the troubled times, so he assumed the pseudonym Liu Zhiyuan (meaning ambitious) and found a career as a rural teacher, which I believe is just a matter of equity, just as he believes that he will be able to achieve a great career.

If you don't even have a life, rights, ideals, money, interests, and other seemingly beautiful things are just castles in the air, like the moon in the water, like flowers in the mirror.

Facts have proved that Li Mi is not a good teacher, usually he thinks not of his students, but of his ideals, his ideals of achieving great things. The heart was sad, thinking about the tears and involuntarily staying, thinking about the main thing, and finally the poem flourished, and wrote a poem on the wall, which probably has the same meaning as Song Jiang's.

For example: If he is Lingyunzhi at the age of Lingyunzhi, he dares to laugh at Huang Chao and not his husband! Of course, Huang Chao and Li Mibi are still young children, if Li Mi wrote, it should be: If he is young and Ling Yunzhi, he dares to laugh at Chen Sheng's husband!

Later, because of this poem, he was denounced (seeing that it is good to forbid graffiti on the wall), and all the relatives and friends who defected to him were implicated, arrested and beheaded, but he was fine, because he had something to do that day, he was not at home, so he escaped.

Li Mi, who escaped his life on Wagang, knew that he couldn't stay here anymore, after these days of quiet and peaceful life, he had a lot of experience, and he thought a lot, and he was more determined in his ideals. Even if he sacrifices his life for the sake of his ideals, Li Mi thinks so.

At this time, Li Mi was much more calm than before, he still visited all kinds of rebel armies, most of the leaders of the rebel army were illiterate, and even more disrespectful to Li Mi, even so Li Mi did not feel sorry for himself, gave up on himself, and never thought of giving up.

Although he is very humble and helpless now, he still firmly believes that he can achieve a great cause, which is not conceit, but a kind of self-confidence.

A kind of self-confidence that will be after going through the changes of the world and watching the vicissitudes of life. He believes that someone will appreciate himself, and his ability will be recognized, not long after, he met a person named Wang Bodang, both of whom were heroes at that time, and the conversation was very speculative, so he chatted a few more words, Wang Bodang thought that Li Mi was a talent that could not be obtained, such a talent could be met but not sought, and if you meet, don't miss it, and don't let it go.

It happened that Wang Bodang was the general of the Wagang Army, so Wang Bodang recommended Li Mi to Zhai Rang, the leader of the Wagang Army (note that it is not Cheng Yanjin, Cheng Yanjin is also a member of the Wagang Army).

Li Mi has gone to a lot of rebel armies, and he knows a little about all the rebel armies in the Central Plains, and he knows that many of the leaders of the rebel armies are mediocre people who have no great talents, let alone any great ambitions. …

But the Wagang Army is different, Li Mi is very optimistic about the Wagang Army, for Wang Bodang's recommendation, Li Mi is very grateful, he silently thought in his heart, if I have money in the future, I will definitely give you half of it, if I help Sheji, I will definitely make you a very popular minister.

Later, Li Mi did not fulfill this promise in his heart, but Wang Bodang fulfilled the promise in his heart. After talking to Li Mi, Wang Bodang also silently said to himself in his heart, Li Mi, I have decided to follow you, whether it is on the knife mountain or under the sea of fire...... What's that?

This is called trust, this is called righteousness...... At first, Li Mi was not taken seriously in the Wagang Army, and Zhai Rang didn't like him very much, and talking to him was just a matter of coping, Zhai Rang always thought that Li Mi was just a scholar who could talk about it, this kind of person was useless, he couldn't go to the battlefield in a war, it would only stir people's hearts, if it weren't for Wang Bodang's face, he would have driven away this guy who could only move his lips, and it would be a waste of food to leave him here.
