Chapter 700 Li Mi Surrenders to Tang
Chapter 700 Li Mi Surrenders to Tang
Upon hearing this, the old father, Li Kuan, frowned and asked himself, "My son is indeed unlucky. He has fought dozens of battles in Luoyang, but he still cannot achieve his goal."
In contrast, Li Yuan gained all the advantages in just a few months, quickly entered the pass, and didn't need him in battle.
Even if Erlang were to fight, he would be no match for Xue Ju and would die instantly. He wouldn't be able to reach Luoyang, and would immediately turn on his own.
Let alone his eldest son, he himself is a little jealous.
Foolish son, do you really think that by becoming a subject of Luoyang and driving away Yuwen Huaji, you can become their master?
Have we forgotten Wang Shichong, who was on par with him?!
"Li Mi probably didn't expect the situation in Luoyang to change so quickly. The emperor wasn't the main issue; the important thing was those powerful ministers."
"Especially that man surnamed Wang who was locked in a fierce battle with him, after he drove away Yuwen Huaji, before he even entered the city, the city had a different person, and now everyone listens to Wang Shichong."
Wang Shichong: Yes, yes, say my name!
"To put it simply, Yuan Wen wanted to deal with Wang Shichong and planned to strike first, but he couldn't defeat him. After all, Wang Shichong was killing people indiscriminately every day. So, Wang Shichong staged a coup, and after he finished, he informed the emperor that he had been forced into it!"
The people of the dynasty: It seems this little emperor is just here to fill a quota!
"But you said you were going to stage a coup, and you just did it. You always swear oaths, and you're really ruthless to yourself every time."
"Old Wang followed the formation and swore that if he disobeyed His Majesty, heaven and earth would bear witness, and his Wang family would be wiped out!"
The person who still vividly remembers swearing to Luoshui that it was nothing but a fart: "..."
"It seems that the one who swore an oath in Luoshui set an example. After receiving the news, Li Bing returned his army to the old place, Jinyong City. At this time, our Mi Ge's Wagang Army also encountered internal problems."
"His treasury is not full enough to distribute the spoils of war; his constant empty promises are also a problem."
"In particular, he also absorbed Yuwen Huaji's soldiers. Should you issue them to new ones or old ones? As a result, the Wagang Army became disunited."
"The bad thing is that those people who recommended him to fight Yuwen Huaji have all changed leaders now. Otherwise, I could have asked them for some rewards, since I did the work."
"However, even though the person has changed, Old Wang doesn't intend to let him go. Taking advantage of the fact that he has just finished fighting with someone and is still weak, he plans to send troops first and then launch a propaganda campaign with wizards, saying that he dreamed of the Duke of Zhou."
"Tell the Left Minister of the Ministry of Personnel to quickly attack Li Mi, otherwise his soldiers will be infected with the plague. It is said that most of Wang Shichong's soldiers are from Chu and believe this theory."
Li Yuan: (?w?) Brothers, you guys go first!
Historical records state that Li Mi became arrogant and failed to establish fortifications. In the battle between the two armies, there is also a saying that his troops were demoralized, passive, and difficult to lead.
"In short, in this battle, Wang Shichong charged into Li Mi's camp and set it on fire, forcing Li Mi to flee and retreat to Luokou."
"Some of his generals also surrendered to Wang Shichong. The remaining people held a small meeting to discuss their future. Li Mi expressed his honor that they had not abandoned him and that he would surely preserve their wealth and status."
"That's right, they're planning to join Old Li. After all, they share the same surname, and they even exchanged letters praising each other, so there's bound to be some goodwill between them. Following the Tang Dynasty, judging from the results, they've definitely chosen the right path."
"Indeed, these generals of the Wagang Army provided the Tang Dynasty with a great deal of talent."
Li Mi: Follow us, and we'll be rich and powerful!
Li Yuan: Everyone, come into the Tang bowl!
