Chapter 50 Dragon City Flying General
Chang'an City, the Duke of Xingguo. Duke of Xingguo was the title of Li Mi after surrendering to Li Yuan. After surrendering to Li Tang, Li Yuan was very kind to Li Mi. Not only did he marry his cousin Dugu as his wife, but he also named Li Mi as Guangluqing. This was one of the twelve nobles of the Tang Dynasty. If the grade was equivalent to the level of the Minister of the Ministry, if he went to the later generations, his power was equivalent to that of the Standing Committee of the Central Advisory Committee.
Li Yuan was pretty good with Li Mi, but Li Mi was very dissatisfied with him. Li Mi defected to Wagang in the 12th year of Daye (616 AD), and at the end of the same year, he won the actual control of Wagang. But what was Li Yuan at that time? At that time, he was the General of the Right Guard, equivalent to Chen Ying's official position as the fourth rank of Chen Ying.
But now, time has changed. Li Yuan has become the Supreme Lord of Nine Five, but he has become a nameless consultant. This makes Li Mi very unwilling.
Li Mi surrendered to Tang, and brought his old subordinates like Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin, and Shan Xixin all surrendered to Wang Shichong. Following Li Mi to surrender to Li Tang's old subordinates, in fact, only Wang Bodang and Wei Zheng, and the others were all unknown minions.
Hearing that the Turkic Yehu Khan had no idea why Li Yuan was betrayed and provoked the Turks. It seemed that the war between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty was inevitable, Li Mi saw "opportunity!" and believed that once Li Tang had a feud with the Turks, he would not only be attacked from both sides, but also would never be able to defend Guanzhong.
"This is a good opportunity!" Li Mi said to his confidant Wang Bodang: "Now that Li Yuan is too busy to take care of himself, and the guards outside the door are very relaxed. If we escape from Chang'an and defect to Zhang Shanxiang, we may not have a chance to make a comeback and make a comeback!"
"Mi Duke, this matter is very inappropriate!" Wang Bodang said with great concern: "Shan Xiang is now based in Xiangcheng (now Ruzhou, Henan Province). From Chang'an to Xiangcheng, you have to travel through the twelve prefectures (counties). Not to mention that the journey of Mi Duke is famous all over the world. When passing through Wang Shichong's territory, it is hard to guarantee that he will not harm Mi Duke!"
Li Mi wanted to escape from Li Tang and get rid of this kind of life under the throne. He flatly refused: "In the nine years of great work, Yang Xuangan was defeated. Yang Guang's son poured out a million troops across the country, but he still couldn't hold on. How could Li Yuan's son compare with Yang Guang?"
When Wang Bo saw Li Mi being stubborn, he advised: "Madam?"
"Hmph!" Li Mi said unhappy: "Why don't a real man have no wife?"
If Li Mi followed the original historical trend, he would rebel from the Tang Dynasty and was then surrounded and killed by the Tang army in Nanxing Gongxian, Luhun County (now Xinggongshan, Guandaokou Town, Lushi County, Henan Province).
Just when Wang Bodang and Li Mi were about to go out, he was about to stop his wife Duguren from the door: "Don't let me blame myself, husband!"
"Hmph!" Li Mi said disdainfully: "Woman is foolish, please get out of the way. A couple will be kind to a hundred days a night, and they don't want to kill you because of their husband!"
Gu Dushi is soft on the outside and strong on the inside: "If your husband doesn't care about the past, just do it!"
"I really think I dare not kill you!" Li Mi's eyes gradually turned red. New and old hatreds surged into my heart. Li Mi came from a famous family and regarded herself very well. Although Dugu was also a noble family in Guanlong, he was widowed and lived at home. Her original husband, Yun Shiduan, the second son of Yun Dingxing, the general of the Right Wuwei Guard. Yun Shiduan died suddenly in the first year of Wude in the 14th year of Daye, and now he has been widowed and lived at home for about one year. The son of Li Kuan, one of the eight pillar states of the Western Wei Dynasty and one of the Shangzhu states of the Sui Dynasty, married a widow as his wife. For others, this was Li Yuan's kindness, but in Li Mi's opinion, this was a great humiliation.
Li Mi's face gradually turned ferocious: "Should you give it or not?"
Dugu was quite stubborn: "Resolutely not let go!"
"Don't blame Mi Wuwu!" Li Mi slowly pulled out his sword, and the cold sword tip pointed directly at Dugu's neck.
Just as Li Mi raised his sword and was about to stab Dugu to death with one sword, suddenly an uproar came from outside the door. Li Mi was shocked and thought that his preparation for defection had been exposed. He quickly put away his sword and ordered Wang Bo to go out to check. If Li Yuan really sent someone to capture him, he would take Dugu as a hostage.
However, it didn't take long, and Wang Bodang came back with a stunned look on his face.
"What's going on outside the door?"
"Da Tang won?"
"Winning?"
Li Mi also felt inexplicably surprised: "What wins?"
Wang Bo said, "The Emperor Xiuwu County Bo in the Tang Dynasty, General Zhongwu, and the Right Guard of the Eastern Palace led Chen Ying to lead the right Guard to lead the elite troops of the 16th regiment of the four prefectures and Lingzhou successively defeated the Turkic formations. The four major Turkic Yehu, Ashinayiwuzhen, Ashinashibo, Ashinayiyizhen, Ashinasimo and others were almost wiped out. General Chen obtained the formation and killed more than 30,000, captured Yehu, Ashinayiwuzhen, and more than 30,000 people including Khan!"
"What? How is this possible?" Li Mi said in amazement: "How is this possible?"
"I don't know whether it is fake or not. If it is falsely reported, it may be possible, but Ye Hu Khan is not true. And Asanosimo is all living people, how can he fake it?" Wang Bodang said: "And it is rumored that Shibi Khan was also hit by General Chen's poisonous arrow, and died of injury..."
Li Mi's eyes almost protruded: "Take it seriously!"
"Now the news is spread all over..."
Li Mi rushed outside the door and saw the dew on the street outside the door fluttering in the wind.
Lubu is a silk-made flag with words written and used to inform all directions, and is mostly used to convey military news. The so-called "Wenxin Diaolong" "dew the page to promote the public, and the meaning should not be hidden" can be said to be the media of communication before the emergence of ancient newspapers, with the strongest timeliness and openness.
Since he used the imperial edict to reveal his cloth, this matter could not be faked, otherwise Li Yuan would be like shooting himself in the foot and breaking his trust in the world.
Seeing the text recorded on Lubu, Li Mi felt her breathing rapidly, and his head turned sharply, thinking about solutions.
"The Tang Dynasty has defeated the four major Ye Hu in a row. Six of the twelve methods are needed. Even the Turks who control the strings for more than 400,000 are not opponents of the Tang Dynasty. So who in the world dares to fight against the Tang Dynasty?"
When Li Mi thought of this, he suddenly realized that he wanted to make a comeback and make a comeback. He was ridiculous in his idea of competing for the world. However, Dugu had heard of Li Mi's conspiracy, and Li Mi did not dare to kill Dugu's silence. He knelt in front of Dugu with a plop, howling and crying: "Madam, forgive me for being reckless!"
...
Dugu forgave Li Mi or not, the matter will be resolved next time. The key is that the matter has made up the other person's determination, that is, Wang Xiongdan. Wang Xiongdan, the representative of the general manager of Jianghuai, submitted a surrender letter to Li Mi on behalf of Du Fuwei, but Du Fuwei's people did not come to Chang'an, and the army still dominated Jianghuai.
Du Fuwei's surrender was only written and there was no substantial progress at all.
In fact, even Du Fuwei didn't want to bet easily. The situation in the world is not clear yet, so it was too early to bet. However, when Wang Xiongdan saw the news of Lubujie, Wang Xiongdan's first reaction was that the Tang army made a fraud, but the credibility of this reveal is slightly weaker than the imperial edict, so no one would make a fraud in this regard.
However, as a military general in the army, although he had never really fought with the Turks, the strength of the Turks had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Wang Xiongdan also felt that this matter was very unreliable.
However, in fact, Wang Xiongdan had to believe it.
Wang Xiongdan asked thoughtfully: "Kan Ling, have you ever contacted Chen Ying? Do you think he is really that powerful?"
Kan Ling is different from Luo Shixin. In Romance novels, Luo Shixin is a person with brute force but no intelligence. In fact, although he is the bravest of the three armies, he is a person with both civil and military strength. But Kan Ling is different. He is a person with a lack of roots.
"Chen Ying...I don't know!"
Kan Ling said mutely: "Brother Chen is very good!"
Wang Xiongdan was speechless for a while...
But he really didn't blame Kan Ling, but wanted to figure out a problem. Who is Chen Ying?
As Li Yuan released a piece of paper, Chen Ying achieved the realization of everyone in the world and everyone knew it. As Chen Ying's old background was gradually revealed, Chen Ying's "Going to the Frontier" sung under the city of Lingzhou also spread with Chen Ying's reputation.
"The bright moon in the Qin Dynasty was the Han Dynasty, and the people of thousands of miles of Long March had not returned, but the flying general in Longcheng was there, so he would not teach Hu Ma to cross Yinshan!"
When Li Yuan saw this poem, he couldn't help but praise: "What a flying general in Longcheng is here, and he won't teach Hu horses to cross Yinshan. With my flying generals here, who dares to offend the border?"
Li Gang coughed and explained: "Your Majesty, the flying general of Longcheng refers to the former Han general Li Guang!"
Li Yuan is not a ignorant person, he just said it happily for a moment, but he could not change his words.
