Chapter 450: Li Mi Comes to Vote
The end of the war unexpectedly, Li Mi crisscrossed the Central Plains for nearly ten years, in one day, nearly 100,000 troops were buried on the bank of Luoshui, he just took Fu Peng Liu Xie and Wang Bodang and others, led more than 1,000 soldiers and horses to escape, Shan Xiongxin, You Junda and others surrendered to Wang Shichong, Wang Shichong got the savings of Wagangzhai for many years, and let him get Shan Xiongxin and other military generals, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the strength skyrocketed, and the Central Plains was shocked, and his sphere of influence suddenly expanded from the vicinity of Luoyang to the south of the Yellow River, Even the Shandong region accepted his orders.
"What about the monks?" Wang Shichong stayed in his own camp and asked Wang Xingben.
"Father, those monks have returned to Shaolin Temple." Wang Xuanshu said indifferently: "They said that they were monks, and they should not have appeared in the world, but they only heard that King Zheng was benevolent and righteous, so they came out to help, and now they are naturally retired." Father, when you return to Luoyang, you can give them some land. ”
"Nonsense." Wang Shichong glared at his son and said, "Do you really think that they came here to admire my name?" They came only after listening to Ma Zhou's words. Shaolin Temple monk Tan Zong is already the head of Li Xin's three armies, so Liu Liangdi is Li Xinsheng's son is fostered in Shaolin Temple, Shaolin Temple and Li Xin's care is very good! ”
"Father, after returning to Luoyang, the child will immediately lead the army to pacify the Shaolin Temple." Wang Xuanying said loudly.
"Presumptuous." Wang Shichong's eyes were filled with a trace of sorrow, and said: "Not to mention that the Shaolin Temple helped us this time, we still need Li Xin's help in the future, Li Yuan's army is about to attack Luoyang, although the soldiers and horses in Luoyang City are enough, but the grain and grass are not good." Xuan Shu, you immediately go to Luokou Cang and transport all the grain in it to Luoyang, so that even if Li Yuan's army really besieges Luoyang. We can also hold it up for a while. ”
"Also, Xuan Ying is to let people tell Li Xin, his lips are cold, if Li Yuan occupies Luoyang, his prestige will definitely increase, and at that time, many people in the world will take refuge under Li Yuan's command, and his great cause will also be affected, so please be sure to send troops to attack Hedong and threaten Li Yuan. Help us contain some of Li Yuan's soldiers and horses. Wang Shichong has a keen eye, so he can naturally see that Li Xin will not be so kind to himself, but there is hatred between himself and Li Yuan, so he will use himself to weaken and consume Li Yuan's troops, of course, Wang Shichong is not so easy to think with, that is, let Li Xin himself also contribute, and everyone will deal with Li Yuan together.
"Yes. The child will go to Mazhou tomorrow. Wang Xuanying hurriedly said.
"Clean up the battlefield and return to the court." Wang Shichong stood up and said in high spirits: "The world's heroes compete for hegemony, and there are countless people who claim to be kings and hegemons. Li Yuan, Dou Jiande, and Xiao Mo have all been proclaimed emperors, even if it is Li Xin, I am afraid that they will not be able to wait long, and this king is in Luoyang. Now that he has defeated Li Mi and is in the Central Plains, everyone else can be the emperor. Why can't I, Wang Shichong? ”
"Ministers to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live."
Wang Xuanshu and others were overjoyed when they heard this, they fell to the ground one after another, the mountains shouted long live, outside the camp, the soldiers of the three armies also let out bursts of cheers, they didn't care who was the emperor, as long as someone became the emperor, they would definitely reward the three armies.
"The class teacher returns to the court." Wang Shichong was very happy to see it, he finally ascended the throne of the emperor, and he believed that soon, he would definitely be able to command the world.
Just when Wang Shichong's class returned to the dynasty, as his subordinate defeated Li Mi fled in embarrassment, Yanshi was lost, although Kim Yong Cheng was still in his own hands, but Li Mi knew that Wang Shichong would never give himself a chance, as fast as three or five days, slow as seven or eight days, Wang Shichong would definitely send a large army to sweep his own territory, and at that time, he was afraid that he would have no way out.
"Tai Lieutenant, why don't we go to Liyang, General Xu Shiji still has tens of thousands of horses?" Liu Kun persuaded him: "Taiwei has a very high reputation among the rebels, as long as he has the support of tens of thousands of General Xu Shiji, he may not be able to make a comeback." ”
"Hmph, Xu Shiji? He won't support me. Li Mi shook his head and said: "If I am strong, Xu Shiji will naturally not be good, but if I fail, Xu Shiji will probably think about taking refuge in others, Dou Jiande, and even Li Yuan He may take refuge, although it will not be holding my head, but it will definitely not let me enter Liyang City." ”
Li Mi obviously knew Xu Shiji very well, and after listening to Liu Kun's words, he refused without hesitation, and even had a trace of despair in his heart, he was actually defeated by Wang Shichong at the peak, so does he still have a chance to make a comeback?
"Taiwei, it's better to go to Chang'an or Taiyuan. Don't forget, Chang'an's Li Xinai is after the Li clan of Zhaojun, and Li Yuan in Taiyuan is after the Li clan in Longxi, Taiwei and these two people actually belong to the same clan, especially Taiyuan Li Yuan, if Taiwei takes refuge in Taiyuan, I believe that Li Yuan will definitely meet Taiwei. Liu Kun suddenly thought of something and said.
"To Taiyuan?" Li Mi's face moved, between Li Yuan and Li Xin, he naturally valued Li Yuan more, he and Li Yuan were actually from the Guanlong family, but I thought that Li Yuan had written a letter to himself at the beginning, groveling and lowering his posture, but Li Mi was high up, faintly with the posture of the leader of the righteous army, but now let him ask to see a former little brother, which made Li Mi a little unbearable in his heart.
"Yes, go to Taiyuan, Li Yuan is from the Guanlong family, Taiwei was the leader of the rebel army, if you go to Taiyuan, Li Yuan's voice is bound to rise, how can you not meet Taiwei?" Liu Kun explained.
"Taiwei, if I don't go to Taiyuan." Wang Bodang explained: "Although Li Yuan is from a big family, his overall strength is not as good as Li Xin, and the last general thinks that the person who will seize the world in the future is definitely Li Xin, and the last general heard that most of the current Guanlong family has surrendered to him, even if he does not accept Li Xin in his heart, at least, it is the case on the surface." ”
"Li Xin?" Li Mi also doesn't look down on Li Xin, although Li Xin's strength is very strong, but his identity determines that if he wants all the families in the world to accept Li Xin's words, it will be a very long process, and even those families may stab them in the back.
"Let's go to Chang'an and see Li Xin, anyway, I am also one of the members of the Li family, and I am the same clan as the Tang King." Li Mi's eyes lit up when he suddenly thought of something, and laughed and said: "Let's go to see Li Xin, if Li Xin can get the help of this king, he will definitely be able to achieve a career in the future." Well, only if I unite with him can I quickly calm the world. ”
After Liu Kun listened, not only did he not have any happy look on his face, but his face was solemn, according to his understanding of Li Mi, Li Mi did not really take refuge in Li Xin at all, at least not now, and even Li Mi still harbored evil intentions in his heart, but Li Xin was really so easy to deal with? I'm afraid that Li Mi will go this time, and there will be more than luck.
And on June 18 of the first year of Yining, the emperor finally issued an edict to let the throne and Wang Shichong, the country name is Zheng, he sealed the Wang family in Luoyang, first sealed his ancestors for five generations, Jianyuan said enlightened, the country name Zheng. The first seal has the same surname Wang Long as the king of Huaiyang, Wang Cheng as the king of Dongjun, Wang Kai as the king of Feng Yi, and Wang Su as the king of Le'an. Then he named his uncle Wang Qiong as the king of Chen, the eldest brother Wang Shiheng as the king of Qin, the second brother Wang Shiwei as the king of Chu, and the third brother Wang Shiyun as the king of Qi. He also named Wang Qiong's son Wang Wei as the king of Qi, Wang Shiheng's son Wang Qianshou as the king of Cai, Wang Shiwei's son Wang Honglie as the king of Wei, Wang Xingben as the king of Jing, and Wang Wan as the acting king; Wang Shiyun's son Wang Ren is the king of Yue, Wang Daocheng is the king of Wei, Wang Daoxun is the king of Zhao, and Wang Daoling is the king of Yan; Wang Shishi's son, Wang Tai, was the king of Song, and Wang Jundu was the king of Wu. The eldest son Wang Xuanying was appointed as the crown prince, and the second son Wang Xuanshu was named the king of Han. For a time, the entire Wang family was named the prince. In order to win over the generals of Wagangzhai, he married his daughter to Shan Xiongxin, and canonized him as a general, and other generals such as You Junda, Xie Yingdeng, etc. were awarded knighthoods and official titles.
For Wang Shichong's title of emperor, although many people have already guessed it, it still caused a shock in the world, which means that Yang Sui's last banner fell in Guanzhong, of course, everyone also knows that this Yang Sui banner may not last long. It's just that some people don't know, on the day when Wang Shichong was proclaimed emperor, outside Luoyang City, two carriages slowly drove out of the city gate, one of the cars was sitting on the abolished emperor Yang Tong, and the other car was sitting on the former prince who gave birth to a son for Li Xin canonized Liu Liangdi, she was holding her young son in her arms at this time, looking at Luoyang City in the distance, with a complicated expression.
In Guanzhong, in Chang'an, at this moment Li Xin is distressed by the news in front of him, Li Mi is here, not only there are civil servants like Liu Kun by his side, but also generals like Wang Bodang, and more importantly, there are two thousand internal guards, according to Cheng Yanjin's news, Li Mi's internal guards are equivalent to Li Xin's guards, very brave. If it was before, Li Xin would probably not hesitate to order the army to exterminate Li Xin, but now it is different, Li Mi is here to defect to himself, if he kills the other party, I am afraid that everyone in the world will despise him, and there will be no outstanding talents to defect to him.
"Everyone said, will this Li Mi accept it or not?" Li Xin touched his forehead and said: "Yang Tong and Liu Liangdi, the kings of Yue, are here, and this king can still receive them, but this Li Mi is really a scourge, you can't kill it, and it's not easy to collect it." ”
"Prime Minister, Li Mi is ambitious, it is definitely not a good thing for this person to come to defect at this time, and his subordinates think that he should be killed." Chu Suiliang said without thinking.
"If you kill him, I'm afraid that everyone in the world will say that the prime minister has no grace to tolerate people, and who will come to the prime minister in the future?" Wei Yuancheng said dissatisfiedly: "Prime Minister, Li Mi is just a lost dog, if he accepts it, he will accept it, can he still make trouble when he comes to Guanzhong?" (To be continued......)
