Seeing Li Mi's regret, Li Chongjiu faintly guessed the reason why Li Mi had changed his hexagram, and it seemed that the reason was not from Li Mi, but from Li Mi's subordinates.
At the beginning, after Yang Xuangan's defeat, Li Mi went into exile, and because he was recommended by Wang Bodang to Zhai Rang, he had to enter Wagangzhai. After that, Li Mi made many great contributions to Wagangzhai, and Zhai Rang knew that his identity as a small official was not enough to command the world and usurp the Great Sui River, so he gave up his power to Li Mi, who was born in Zhao County and had a gate valve background.
As the power of the Wagang Army grew, Zhai Rang did not put himself in the right position, and the old officials of the Sui Dynasty, who led Li Mi to enter the Pushan public camp, clashed with the side of the veterans of the original Wagang Army such as Zhai Rang.
So Li Mi killed Zhai Rang, but he also had a rift with Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji, and Bing Yuanzhen.
After Li Mi monopolized the power, he forced himself to use his prestige of winning a hundred battles to gather the heroes of Wagang under his command, and still maintained the most promising appearance on the surface, replacing the Sui family with the appearance of the first force. But now, after the two defeats of Pishan and Luoshui, Li Mi's prestige was lost, and his subordinates were also centrifuged.
Otherwise, under the loss of Li Mi's prestige, he would not have relied on Liu Xie, the secretary of the house, and Xu Jingzong, who almost succeeded in 'forcing the palace', forcing Li Mi to surrender to Li Tang in Guanzhong.
Li Mi's current tone seemed to be quite gloomy.
Li Chongjiu looked at Li Mi and asked, "Brother, what happened?" ”
Li Mi smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just that I have a road to the end of the road, and the virtuous brother should take care of me." ”
Li Chongjiu hurriedly said: "How dare Duke Wei, if there is an order at that time, show it together." The younger brother can only repay him with his liver and brain. ”
Li Mi smiled and took Li Chongjiu's hand and said, "There is a brother's words." Dense enough to rest assured. Rest assured, Brother Wei hasn't reached that point yet. But the sentence of having a brother shows that a certain brother did not make friends with your brother in vain. ”
After speaking, Li Mi ordered the carriage to drive back to the Wei Mansion. In the Wei Mansion, Wang Mahan and Wang Junkuo had long been restless, and they were all overjoyed to see Li Chongjiu come back safely.
When the three of them returned to the house, Wang Ma Han said: "Damn, Li Mizhen is an ungrateful dog thief, and we saved Liyang for him." He wanted to subdue Li Tang. ”
Li Chongjiu said: "The matter is not conclusive, this is just our speculation, or we guessed Wei Gong wrong." ”
Wang Ma Han said: "That's it, that's it, I don't understand this twisting and turning, it's just that the second master, since Xiao Jiu came back safely, you should also go back." lest Li Mi be suspicious. ”
Wang Jun said: "Hun people, what do you know, if this is the case, I will see that there is a ghost in my heart." Xiao Jiu is my nephew, and the Wagang Army knows it from top to bottom, if I am afraid to avoid suspicion everywhere. It made Li Mi suspicious. ”
Li Chongjiu said: "What the second uncle said is very true. ”
At this moment, the guard came in with a bamboo tube. Yan said: "This is a secret letter sent by Lin Sima Bu in Liyang's secret spy. ”
Li Chongjiu opened the bamboo tube. He took out a piece of silk from it, looked at it and said, "That's really the case." ”
At that moment, Li Chongjiu showed the cloth to Wang Junkuo, and Wang Mahan was illiterate and stared dryly on the side, asking, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”
After Wang Junkuo finished reading the cloth, he stroked his long beard, and then threw the cloth into the incense burner on the side and lit it for incineration.
Wang Junkuo's face showed a solemn expression, and he said: "Li Yude, the head of Wuzhi, Gao Jifu, Hu Cao, joined the army, Jia Yanfu, Si Cang, participated in the military, and Zhang Shanxiang, the general of Xiangcheng, dedicated the land of Henan to Li Tang, no wonder Li Mi was discouraged. ”
Li Chongjiu said: "Yes, although the Wagang army has already given up the land of Henan, if these people subdue Wang Shichong, although it is difficult to accept, it can be considered excusable, but they will not surrender to Wang Shichong, nor will they belong to Wagang, but choose Li Tang, which has shown that Li Tang is now the general trend and the desire of the people." No wonder, Li Mi was so discouraged. ”
Li Yude, Gao Jifu, Jia Yanfu, Zhang Shanxiang and others subdued Li Tang and did give Li Mi a fatal blow. Subduing Wang Shichong was a last resort, and one day in the future when the Wagang army counterattacked Henan, these people might turn against each other again.
But Li Tang said that they had completely given up on Li Mi and sought a way out for themselves, especially Li Yude, who was the grandson of Li Ge, the assassin of Tongzhou, and Li Mi in general, they were the same clan of the Li clan of Zhao County.
And Jia Yanfu is the son of Zhang Xutuo's deputy general Jia Wuben, and after Zhang Xutuo's defeat, he persuaded Pei Renji to surrender to Li Mi, so he made great contributions. These people are different from Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji, they are all old officials of the Sui Dynasty, and they can be regarded as Li Mi's henchmen in the Wagang army.
No wonder Li Shimin dared to go to Liyang to lobby Li Mi in person, not by virtue of his tongue, even if Su Qin and Zhang Yi were resurrected, they could not persuade Li Mi to give up the heart of seizing the world, but the betrayal of his henchmen was okay, so this is where Li Shimin's confidence lies.
Li Shimin's confidence is that Li Tang can't see or grasp it, but he can influence the general trend of the world. The general trend is that the hearts of the people are against each other, just like the attack on Wang Shichong in history, Wang Shichong in addition to being able to protect a Luoyang, the surrounding counties and counties of Henan, as soon as Li Tang's army arrived, they all surrendered without a fight, and even ate pot pulp to welcome Wang Shi.
At this moment, the general trend of Li Tang has gradually converged into a river, Li Mi, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong and other heroes, although they have understood this, they are still going upstream, but most people want to go downstream, not against the current. Once the general trend gathers, the streams surging into rivers, and the time to achieve the emperor and the general.
As for those who move against the trend, when you become a king and lose, who remembers that you once did.
Therefore, those who know the times are all taking advantage of the trend, and the time comes and the earth are all working together, and the heroes are not ziyou. When Dou Jiande was defeated by Li Tang and was held by a small soldier, who can say that Dou Jiande is not as good as a small soldier, but can only say that Dou Jiande's fortune is not as good as Li Tang.
Now Li Shimin is taking advantage of this general trend to force Li Mifei to obey his own will.
Wang Junkuo said: "Now the people in Liyang City are panicking, and all the people in Henan are all owned by Li Tang and Wang Shichong, I think Wei Gong now has the intention of abandoning Liyang." ”
"The second master, if Li Mi abandons Liyang, where else can he go? You must know that in addition to Liyangcang, there is no place in Henan and Hebei for tens of thousands of troops to eat. ”
Wang Junkuo glanced at Wang Mahan and said: "Or this is exactly the intention of Li Mi today, I guess Li Mi doesn't want to go to Don't Go, but to Youzhou!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Chongjiu and Wang Mahan were all moved.
Wang Mahan was about to slap the table and scold his mother, but he was glared at by Wang Junkuo, so he could only sit down, but he still couldn't stop scolding his mother and thief, thief and bird, and ungrateful dog thief.
Li Chongjiu thought of Li Mi's tone today, and it seemed that he did have a faint intention to occupy the magpie's nest. At the beginning, he was in the White Horse Temple and in Jinyang, and he offered Li Mi two plans, first to seize Hebei, then to join Shandong, and then to seek the east to compete for the world. If Li Mi could act according to the plan at the beginning, even if he occupied Youzhou, how could he dare to compete with the elite soldiers of the Wagang Army.
Anyway, if you don't let Li Yuan be the emperor and dominate the world, it can be regarded as the next best thing.
As a result, Li Mi did not fully obey, although he attacked the eastern capital half a year later than in history, but in the end, Li Tang was allowed to take advantage of the situation to seize Guanzhong.
Now that he was defeated in the hands of Wang Shichong, he had remorse, so he thought about going to Hebei Dongshan to make a comeback. The land of Youzhou was obtained by Li Chong in 900 battles, how could he give it up. Even if Li Mi is willing to be a subordinate, Li Chongjiu can't do what Liu Bei borrowed from Lu Bu, or become the second Zhai Rang.
At this moment, in the Wei Mansion.
Fuyuan Liu Xie stood behind Li Mi, clasped his hands, bowed his vest slightly, and bowed his head to the ground with a humble look, but a sneer appeared on his face again and again.
As the fate of the Wagang Army, Liu Xie had actually taken refuge in Li Yuan, and from the beginning of Li Mi's killing of Zhai Rang, he understood that Li Mi was not the master who could seize the world, so he secretly corresponded with Li Tang.
At present, Li Mi's army was defeated in Bishan, which was to give him the opportunity to persuade Li Mi.
Seeing that Li Mi was silent, Liu Xie, who was in the edge of the house, pretended to be very sincere, and said: "Duke Wei, as King Qin said, the general trend of the world is owned by Li Tang. The queen went around Yangzhou and turned into a garden. From the dignitaries to the common people, the Li family will replace the Yang family as the son of heaven. ”
On the side, Uncle Wang said: "I have also heard this, but how can prophecy be credulous? "In the past, the proverb was known to everyone in the Wagang Army, and it was none other than Li Mi, whose surname was Li, but now it has changed and become Li Yuan.
Liu Xie arched his hand and said: "Whether you believe it or not, but the prophecy of the previous dynasty, such as Hu Ye, who died in Qin, died in Hu Hai, and those who represented the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gaoye, Cao Cāo is the Duke of Wei, Wei is the door, standing on the road, and the tall one is the Tao, Wei Ye, but there is no prophecy." Now the Li family is regarded as the Son of Heaven, and it is spread among the people, who can not know. ”
Uncle Wang couldn't compete with Liu Xie, and he was speechless.
Liu Xie continued: "The time of heaven is the mandate of heaven, this one, Li Tang is now based in Guanzhong, the country of Qinchuan Tianfu for eight hundred miles, and the Yellow River in the east, is down the river, and here he uses troops against Shandong and Hebei, such as a high-rise building, not to mention that the state and the state hold Li Tang's hand, the world and the earth are divided into three, Li Tang has been based on one of them, the time and place are favorable, and these two are also." ”
Li Mi and Wang Bodang's faces were silent, only Liu Xie's aggressive voice echoed in the ears of the two.
"Li Yuan was born in the Li family of Longxi, and he is the valve of Guanlongmen, his mother is the Dugu family, and his granddaughter-in-law is the eldest grandson, all of whom are noble relatives of the north. And Li Yuan has been an official in the court for 20 years, known as virtuous, and has a wide range of contacts, such as Lu Chisong, Jin Xiaomo and other old officials, and they are all good friends. Li Yuan entered Chang'an, so the scholars, the eunuchs all attached, Guan Long, on behalf of the north gate valve for his door walking, the local county guards, all surrendered without a fight, to the county to the city to vote, is not the people, these three also. ”
"The time and place are favorable, all of them will be returned, Li Tang has seized the world, the general trend is the trend, why should Duke Wei hesitate, it is better to attach it now, the merit can be compared to Dou Rong, if it is...... It's too late to regret. ”
At the end, Yoo Xie almost burst into tears.
Wang Bodang also said: "The last general has nothing to say, so I implore Duke Wei to make his own decisions." ”
Li Mi looked at Liu Xie, then at Wang Bodang, and said with a dry laugh: "You are all my confidants, I have a plan in my chest, tomorrow everyone will come to the mansion to have fun, I decided to invite Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and Li Chongjiu, the prince of Shanggu, to the banquet together."
