Chapter 375 Persuasion
Li Chongjiu suggested to Li Mi that he would quit the army and train his armor and fight again.
A scholar stood up and said loudly: "Duke Shanggu, I don't know anything. Duke Wei has agreed with the generals to join Guanzhong and join hands with Li Tang."
Li Chongjiu shook his wrist and looked at Li Mi, thinking that he was still one step late and could not be reversed. Is it the result of Li Mi's defeat in history that he entered Guanzhong and defected to Li Tang? Once Li Mi defected to Li Tang, then all the elite soldiers and generals under his command who followed him to fight the world, as well as the Hebei area occupied by Wagang now will be owned by Li Tang.
For Li Tang, he has now fully supported the Guanlong clan. If he is supported by the Hedong tycoon led by Wagang, he will be stronger and stronger for himself, and finally an irreversible step.
Li Chongjiu looked at Li Mi with a hesitation look. Li Mi frowned at Xu Jingzong's words. He obviously opposed it in his heart, but did not object.
Li Chongjiu knew this and if Li Mi refused to surrender Li Tang, then he would still have something to do.
If Li Mi really gave up after he was defeated and no longer fought for dominance in the world, then it would not be Li Mi. Otherwise, Li Mi would not surrender to Li Tang in history. He listened to Wang Bodang's words and went to Shandong in the name of regaining his old subordinates.
As a result, Li Yuan was worried about rushing Li Mi to the mountain, so he regretted that he ordered the general to kill him halfway. A generation of heroes had ambitions to make a comeback in the east and failed to make such a fate.
As long as Li Mi is unwilling to surrender, then his generals are forced to make this decision. If you want to convince Li Mi, you must first convince the generals of Wagang.
Li Chongjiu did not speak to Li Mi at the moment, but clasped his fists and asked the scholar: "I don't know who you are?"
The other party bowed and said, "Report to Duke Shanggu. Xu Jingzong is in the record room of Duke Xiawei's account."
"Xu Jingzong."
Li Chongjiu couldn't help but be surprised and didn't want to meet this person here. Li Chongjiu looked up and down. Although this person's reputation is not obvious now, anyone who is familiar with the history of Wu Zhou knows this person.
Without Xu Jingzong, there would be no Wu Zetian. Although this statement was a bit too much, it was not too far away. In history, Emperor Gaozong of Tang wanted to abolish the queen and make Wu Zetian the queen. Xu Jingzong told Emperor Gaozong that the farmer harvested ten hu of wheat and wanted to change his wife, let alone the emperor established a queen. Later, this man was the most powerful minister in the embassy of Emperor Gaozong.
Another thing is that this person wrote the Record of Wude and Taizong's Record of the Second Book of the Record of Emperor Taizong should be compared with the powerful and the historical books based on his own likes and dislikes.
When Xu Jingzong heard that Li Chongjiu had heard of him, he couldn't help but smile. As a scholar of the Southern Dynasty, he had been an official for many generations. Except for Li Yuan and Li Mi, others, no one looked down on him.
As for Li Chongjiu, he was just a martial artist in his eyes, but Xu Jingzong knew that even if he was a martial artist, in the moment of chaos in the world, the other party was also a prince in Youzhou, so he smiled and said, "I didn't expect that a mere little name could still be as good as Shanggu Gong."
Li Chongjiu couldn't help but smile and said, "Not a famous place? I heard that Yu Wen and the day of his rebellion were plotted. Yu Shiji was killed, and Yu Shinan leaned on the ground and asked to die for his brother. Zun's father was executed, and you danced and used it to survive. Everyone in Youzhou knows this."
After Li Chongjiu finished speaking, everyone present burst into laughter, especially those who had long despised Xu Jingzong, who laughed very loudly.
When Xu Jingzong saw that he was ridiculed and laughed at Li Chongjiu in front of everyone, he gritted his teeth and said, "I am leaving this useful body to avenge my father. How could you know the humiliation of Han Xin back then?"
"Han Xin's humiliation has never heard of killing his father's enemy." Wang Bodang said coldly.
Xu Jingzong was ridiculed and lost his momentum at the moment. He knew that he was arguing with Wang Bodang again and Li Chongjiu was causing his own humiliation. Xu Jingzong stepped back several steps, but when he saw Li Mi flirting, he was afraid that he would change his mind in the process, so he raised his eyebrows to Liu Xie to show him.
Liu Xie understood and went forward to Li Mi said, "Ming Gong, our army's defeat is no longer arguing with Wang Shichong. Even if we get Li Yang, what is the benefit of the overall situation? Instead of being in one place, it is better to unify the world and plan for the welfare of all peoples, and eliminate this war as soon as possible."
Liu Xie first mentioned the righteousness and said, "Now Duke Tang occupied Guanzhong, Hedong, Sichuan and Shu, and there was one of the three parts of the world. If our army occupied the Dongdu, it might not be able to compete with him. Moreover, Wang Shichong is eyeing Henan now. If he does not rely on the name of Duke Tang, even Hebei may not be able to defend himself. Duke Tang and Duke Ming are the same clan, and if they join Guanzhong, they will not treat him unfairly. The ancients said that if they are begging under one person and extending above ten thousand people, why not do it?"
Liu Xie said this wonderfully, and several generals immediately agreed.
Li Mi listened to Liu Xie's words and walked a few steps eastward, looking away with his hands behind his back, but still couldn't come up with an idea.
Li Chongjiu winked at Xu Shiji. Xu Shiji understood and stepped forward and said, "This is a bad thing for the Liu Mansion. At that time, our army had the momentum of today's situation in a few years. Now, what are you afraid of if you have a small defeat? With the food and fodder in Liyang Cang, it can be enough to save the army for several years. If you rely on this, and with the help of Shanggu Gong and Dou Jiande, you can cross the Yellow River and fight Wang Shichong again, and then make a comeback. If you surrender to Li Yuan now, you may regret it in the future, and it will be useless."
After Xu Shiji finished speaking, Li Mi walked a few more steps and looked at Li Chongjiu. He immediately turned over and rode his horse. Li Chongjiu also got on the horse and followed him.
Li Mi looked at Li Chongjiu and nodded. The two of them approached and said, "What do you want to say, brother?"
Li Chongjiu bowed and said, "Just just now, Liu Xie and Xu Jingzong's words have really misled me. Everyone can surrender to Li Yuan, but brother cannot surrender to Li Yuan."
Li Mi asked, "Why do you say this?"
Li Chongjiu said, "Everyone surrendered to Li Yuan, and his officials were exhausted. What did you want to surrender to Li Yuan? The position was only a marquis, the carriage was only one horse, and the rider was only one horse, and never a few people. How could you have the power in your hands today? The one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is willing to seek a way out, so you should not listen to it. I hope my brother will make his own plans."
Li Mi was also a well-read bookmaker when she was young, otherwise there would have been no such thing as hut hanging books. When Li Mi heard Li Chongjiu's words, he laughed and said, "Brother, is this a case of Lu Zijing's comment on Sun Zhongmou and joining Shu to reject Cao?"
Li Chongjiu also smiled and said, "Although things change, things are the same, but the principles are the same and will not be easier. Back then, Sun and Liu could compete with more than 200,000 Cao Cao in Chibi with tens of thousands of troops, and could sweep the world's army. Today, the Duke of Wei was in the world's momentum. Sun and Liu Yuan were unattainable at that time. Why bother to fight against the unfavorable battle? Just abandon it. Even if they advance, they would not fight to dominate the world, but the power of division of territory and formation of a tripod can also be a way out. Why go to Guanzhong and be driven by Li Yuan?"
When Li Mi heard Li Chongjiu's words, he couldn't help but sigh, saying, "I didn't expect that when I thought I was at the end of my journey, I could still hear my good words. Everyone really let me down. Although Mi dared not compare himself with Liu Xuande and Sun Zhongmou, they may not be inferior to Yu Wenhua. Then, even if the Xiongnu Zao Li dares to be emperor, how can I be worse than him?"
After saying that, Li Mi's decadent intention of failure disappeared, and the momentary spirit that was flying and looking down on the world returned to his face.
Li Chongjiu was overjoyed when he heard this. Li Mi waved his whip and said, "I have decided to the generals. I will send orders to the army and advance to Liyang!"
Xu Jingzong and Liu Xie were all disgraced when they heard this. Liu Xie hurriedly said, "Please think twice! Don't go against the hearts of all the soldiers."
Li Miyan said: "I, Master Li, use people and keep them for themselves. I am not at the moment, and it is not the same in the future. If I want to leave, leave. If I take this breath in the future, you will regret it. Come back to find me. But Li Mi will never surrender to anyone, and the same will be true in the future. When I make a comeback in the future, you may as well wait and see."
Xu Jingzong and Liu Xie were speechless when they heard Li Mi's words. At this time, Xu Shiji and Wang Bodang raised their arms and shouted: "I wish to follow Duke Wei to the death!"
The two shouted, and the generals also shouted together, and the soldiers of the three armies shouted loudly in the Yellow River.
"See Mr. Wei to death!"
At this moment, what else could Xu Jingzong, Liu Xie and others say?
Li Mi was excited when he watched the scene and could hardly suppress himself. After the defeat of Mangshan, people's hearts collapsed, Shan Xiongxin surrendered, Sima Zheng Xianxian of the left, Shi Zheng Yuanzhen of the chief, and Sima Zheng Qianxiang of the right, Shi Luokou of the same name as several close generals and civil officials of the Wagang army, who all rebelled against Li Mi.
The defeat and the rebellion of his subordinates, Li Mi hastily led the defeated army to flee to the edge of the Yellow River and drew his sword and committed suicide in front of the generals. Although he was a little erratic, he was also from the heart and he really wanted to die. But now the soldiers obeyed the orders and were defeated by the Wagang Army, which had improved a little.
Listening to the cheers of the soldiers, Li Mi looked at Li Chongjiu and said with almost sigh: "If it weren't for your brother, I would not be able to protect Li Yang, and today I would have to go west to Guanzhong and ask Li Yuan to survive."
Li Mi's feelings came from the heart. He was not afraid of Li Chongjiu's plan for him, because Youzhou was thousands of miles away and he could not defend the plot for Li Mi's land even if he took it down, so his words were absolutely neutral.
However, Li Mi also knew that Li Chongjiu was not selfless.
Li Mi clearly understood the grudges between Li Chongjiu and Li Yuan. Last year, Li Chongjiu and Li Yuan were in Taiyuan and Shangdang counties. Both sides dispatched more than 100,000 troops, which made the battle change. Even if he attacked Dongdu, he had been paying attention.
Li Chongjiu has never interfered in this. For Li Tang, although he and Li Yuan have always been brothers and brothers, and have flattered each other by anti-Sui fighters, Li Mi and Li Yuan also knew that the day when the Wagang Army captured the Eastern Capital was the day when the two of them had a good relationship.
One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, Li Mi and Li Yuan can only capture the world with one person, and Li Chongjiu is by his side, and he is the best thug for Li Yuan.
But Li Mi can not only accept Li Chongjiu's little thoughts, but also if the other party doesn't plan for him, he will instead make Li Mi worry about whether Li Chongjiu has other plans.
After all, not subduing Li Yuan is the best result not only for Li Mi, but also for Li Chongjiu.
