After Gao Buer destroyed Shen Faxing, he was not in a hurry to conquer Xiao Miao, first, his army was fighting outside all the year round and needed to rest, plus many people joined him, and he also needed to be trained; Second, in the last few years, so many places have been regained, and although the main rebel army has been eliminated, there are still many remnants, which often disturb the places and make them unable to produce with peace of mind, so that appeasement is also needed; Third, Xiao Milling is now in full swing, and it is difficult to calm down in a short period of time, so it can only rest for the time being and prepare for the moment.

After the south fell into a calm of short-term confrontation, the north was indeed in full swing. Li Yuan's men and horses were in full swing with Xue Ju, and Dou Jiande was also fighting fiercely with the commander of the rebel army in Shanggu County, King Mantian.

At this time, Li Mi, who had defeated Yu Wenhua, also took the tired division to camp at the north mountain head of Yanshi.

Wang Shichong in Luoyang took advantage of Li Mi's conquest of Yu Culture and time, cleaned up the ministers in the court who did not listen to his words, and monopolized the government of the court, Li Mi originally came back to go to Luoyang to face the king, but when he heard what Wang Shichong did, he refused to enter the court, Wang Shichong originally wanted to get rid of Li Mi through Li Mi's entry into the court, but now the plan has failed, how can he tolerate Li Mi to continue to be bigger.

However, Li Mi defeated Yu Wenhua, taught the court a lesson for the rebellious ministers and thieves, and was greatly praised by the people of Luoyang.

Wang Shichong's advisor said, "Why don't you use the words of ghosts and gods? ”

When Wang Shichong heard this, he immediately came to his senses and asked, "How to do it?" Because most of Wang Shichong's subordinates are Chudi, they are accustomed to believing in grotesque words that deceive and confuse people's hearts, and it is easy to arouse morale with this method.

"If you find a sorcerer, you will say that you dreamed of the Duke of Zhou, and he asked you to hurry up and crusade against Li Mi, so that you will make a great contribution, if not, you will send a plague to punish the disobedient people."

Wang Shichong acted according to the plan, and his soldiers were indeed encouraged by his nonsense and asked Wang Shichong to allow them to fight Li Mi. Wang Shichong was overjoyed, and immediately ordered 27,000 men and horses, gathered on the south bank of Luoshui, and arranged for people to erect a pontoon bridge on Luoshui.

Li Mi's horse exploration reported this strange move in Luoyang, at this time, although Li Mi lost most of the soldiers and horses through the Yu culture and the Great War, but there were still more than 100,000 horses under his subordinates, and the army of Yanshi alone was no less than 50,000.

Shan Xiongxin and others advised Li Mi not to take it lightly, although his own troops and horses had an advantage in numbers, but the elite of the previous battle was lost, and he must do everything possible.

Because Li Mi was arrogant and complacent, and squandered pleasures, Shan Xiongxin and others advised him to be frugal and sympathetic to the soldiers, which caused Li Mi to be dissatisfied, and now he can't listen to Shan Xiongxin and other good words.

Half a month later, Wang Shichong saw that the Wagang army was unprepared for his actions, so he led the army through the water, attacked the Yanshi, and defeated several fierce generals in Wagang.

General Pei Renji said to Li Mi: "The king should not be limited to a decisive battle with Wang Shichong in Yanshi, we should send a cavalry to attack Luoyang, so as to attract Wang Shichong to come back to help, ambush soldiers on the road, and destroy Wang Shichong in a battle to capture Luoyang, this is a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao." ”

Li Mi said: "Wang Shichong is only 30,000 horses, there are few soldiers and generals, and there are no less than 100,000 horses in our army. ”

After that, he urged reinforcements from all walks of life to hurry up to Yanshi and prepare for a decisive battle with Wang Shichong in Yanshi.

However, Li Mi miscalculated the situation and his own military strength, because of his various behaviors, the soldiers of each battalion had already separated from him, and Wang Shichong was a fierce general, and captured Yanshi without much effort, and also captured Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Pei Renji, Shan Xiongxin and other generals.

Wang Shichong did not give Li Mi a chance to make a comeback, and sent troops to continue to pursue and kill the remnants of Li Mi. Li Mi fled to Wujiao Pass, watching Wang Shichong chase after him.

Li Mi said to his subordinates: "The responsibility for this defeat lies with me, not with the monarchs, I have worked hard for a long time, and now Wang Shichong is chasing after him, I really don't want to see everyone die for me again, I still have some surplus wealth, everyone will share their lives and flee, I will commit suicide now, and I apologize to everyone." ”

Li Mi's bitter card worked, after all, it was his pro-army who could still not abandon him in this situation, so everyone persuaded Li Mi, who was going to commit suicide, and vowed to fight Wang Shichong to the death.

Li Mi stopped the angry soldiers and said: "We don't want to fight hard for a battle with no chance of winning, there is no point, we occupy a corner of the Tiger Roaring Mountains and Forests, in order to be a glory and wealth, now Henan has no foundation for us to stand on, Li Yuan in Chang'an is the same clan as me, if you go west with me to join Li Tang, then you will have everyone's wealth." ”

Originally, he was also homeless, so why not go if he could fight for a fortune, everyone quickly unified their opinions and agreed to descend to Tang.

When Li Yuan heard that Li Mi had come to vote, he was overjoyed, worshiped Li Mi as Guangluqing, named Xing Guogong, and married his cousin Dugu to Li Mi, commensurate with Li Mi's brothers.

But Li Mi, who had been the emperor, suddenly succumbed to others, especially the other party was his colleague before, and he felt uncomfortable no matter how he thought about it, and at this time Li Yuan asked Li Mi to go to Liyang to appease the former subordinates, Li Mi took this opportunity to raise troops against the Tang Dynasty, and was later killed by Sheng Yanshi, the deputy general of Xiongzhou, and the head was reported to Chang'an.

"New Tang Dynasty Book" commented: It may be said that it is dense like Xiang Yu, but it is not. Yuxing dominated the world for five years, and dozens of soldiers could not take the eastern capital. Shi Xuan was confused, and the secret head persuaded Guanzhong; and self-reliance, and it is not advisable to drummer to the west, and it is advisable to die. However, the virtuous and virtuous scholars, the fields are in vain, and the virtuous Chen is far away! Oh, so that the secret is not rebellious, and its talent cannot be tolerated in the clouds.

After the defeat of Li Mi's army, Wang Shichong occupied the old land belonging to Wagang, and the other defenders of the Wagang army also surrendered to Wang Shichong, and for a time Wang Shichong's subordinate soldiers and horses increased greatly, with 1340,000 people.
