Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 257 The general situation in Luoyang has been determined
As a large number of Tang troops poured into Luoyang City, Zheng Jun soldiers surrendered on a large scale, squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands.Li Shimin ordered Fang Xuanling to block the treasury in Luoyang, and at the same time listened to Fang Xuanling's words and borrowed Li Zhiyun's Du Ruhui for help.The reason why Du Ruhui was used was not that Li Shimin wanted to win love with a sword. Although he was indeed greedy for Du Ruhui, he did not do so.

He borrowed Du Ruhui mainly to let Du Ruhui confiscate Luoyang money and silk, and use it to reward the soldiers of the three armies.After several months of fighting, the soldiers of the Tang Army have persisted until now entirely by perseverance, so the necessary distribution of spoils is essential.

This task can be handed over to others, but Li Yuanji can't be guaranteed to be a demon at that time, so Li Shimin simply handed it over to Li Zhiyun's people, so that Li Yuanji won't cause him any trouble.Of course, it would be better if Li Yuanji opposed it, and he would be happy to see it succeed.If Li Yuanji is willing to turn against the fifth brother, he doesn't mind adding fire.

Li Shimin was very satisfied with the joint attack on Luoyang with the King of Chu this time, and the King of Chu was simply too much for him.Not only obedient, but also steady in doing things.Let him surround Luoyang, the King of Chu didn't complain at all, and trapped Luoyang to death.

Compared with the annoying King Qi, King Chu is a good younger brother.

A group of soldiers under Wang Shichong, such as Shan Xiongxin, Wang Long, Cui Hongdan, Guo Shiheng, Zhang Tonger and others have all been taken down and held in prison.

Under Li Shimin's order, teams of Tang soldiers strictly observed military discipline and did not offend the common people in Luoyang market.

This action reassured the panic-stricken people of Luoyang. They closed their doors one after another, hiding at home and not daring to come out.

Of course, there were also a small number of disobedient Tang army officers who still did bad things. Li Shimin didn't show mercy at all, and directly asked Fa Cao to join the army to convict him, and then ordered him to be killed.

The bloody means immediately made the soldiers of the Tang army obedient, and they no longer dared to take advantage of the chaos to harm the people of Luoyang.

That night, the three brothers Li Shimin, Li Zhiyun, and Li Yuanji led troops into the Luoyang Imperial City, ready to accept Wang Shichong's surrender.

Under the dark night, the dense orange-red light shines, which are dazzling torches.

Li Shimin was wearing a golden helmet and bright light armor, stroking the hilt of his sword, striding forward.On both sides of him, Li Zhiyun was wearing black armor, his helmet had been taken off, and he followed closely.On the other side is Qi Wang Li Yuanji.

Behind the three brothers, a group of fierce generals followed closely behind.

"I heard that Yang Guang left a lot of good things in Luoyang back then. I don't know how many we can grab this time, hehe." Li Yuanji snorted, his face full of the vigor of a conqueror and a robber.

Li Shimin frowned, thought for a while and didn't scold him.

"It should be quite a lot."

Li Zhiyun's figure is still as thin as ever, but he has a big frame, and he is eighteen years old this year. He is in the process of growing his body. Now he has surpassed the horizontally developed Li Yuanji, and he is catching up with the burly second brother Li Shimin.

Li Shimin's figure is 'tall and burly', while Li Zhiyun is 'tall and thin'.In terms of his appearance in armor, Li Shimin is a bit stronger. After all, he is tall and can wear armor with aura.

But Li Zhiyun's frame is very big, and he can barely hold up his armor. As his appearance slowly opened up, his years of battle experience made him full of heroism, and his face was as sharp as a knife and an axe. Character.

Therefore, when the three brothers walked together, Li Yuanji was the ugliest one.

"Second brother, after accepting Wang Shichong's surrender, we need to stabilize Luoyang as soon as possible, reopen the commercial market, and restore Luoyang's people." Li Zhiyun reminded softly.

"You're right, Fang Xuanling told me about this too." Li Shimin agreed.

Take a look, this is the real minister of the humerus.Like King Qi, he would learn from the bandits after winning the battle, which made him very unhappy.

Li Yuanji naturally didn't know what the second brother was thinking, so he asked, "How should we deal with this thief Wang Shichong?"

"Since he surrendered, let his father deal with it. It's just right, let him, Li Zitong and Du Fuwei be companions." Li Shimin snorted coldly.

Li Zhiyun knew very well that Wang Shichong couldn't live, even if he could live now, he must die in the future.

The Luoyang Palace was modeled after the Chang'an Palace, and the three brothers soon arrived in the Dachao Palace.

At this time, Wang Shichong had already taken off his imperial robes, and led a group of members of the Wang clan to kneel on the cold floor, waiting for the verdict of fate.

As Tang Jun soldiers poured into the hall, they surrounded them.Wang Shichong raised his head and looked towards the gate of the palace.

Two young generals walked in together with a bearded general.

He had seen Li Shimin from afar once on the battlefield, so he naturally didn't regard Li Yuanji, who was full of stubble and looked mature, as Li Shimin.

"Sinner Wang Shichong, please surrender."

Simple and clear, without fancy language.All kinds of surrender and pitiful classical Chinese prose recorded in the literature of later generations were probably freely played by historians when they were compiling history.What's the use of having so many bells and whistles for a defeated man like Wang Shichong?

Winners and losers, talking nonsense at this time will only make the winner feel long-winded.What's more, Wang Shichong is not in the mood to drag the article now.

Li Shimin stepped forward and looked at Wang Shichong.

"You murdered the king of Yue, Yang Yu, which should have been an unforgivable crime. This king granted the order of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and restored the Eastern Capital. Now you please surrender. This king will not hurt you, but what happens to you in the end depends on me, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." ,Understand?"

"Sinners understand." Wang Shichong said bitterly, bowed his head and remained silent.

The fate of the loser is so cruel, there is no qualification for bargaining.

Li Shimin nodded and waved his hand.The soldiers of the Tang Army behind them rushed up and tied up Wang Shichong and other Wang's children.

After solving Wang Shichong, Li Shimin became busy. He wanted to meet the officials in Luoyang who could be wooed one by one, appease them, and stabilize Luoyang.

Among them, Dugu Wudu and Dugu Ji are the most important.Although the Dugu family showed support for him, they were not as thorough as the Dou family. This time he just took the opportunity to have a relationship with the Dugu family.

And Li Zhiyun and Li Yuanji also have their own affairs.

Li Yuanji went to find his treasure, to see if he could be more greedy.

Li Zhiyun met Wei Ji and Wei Jin at Wei's mansion.

Wei Ji and Wei Jin are the sons of Wei Xiaokuan, and they are brothers of the same generation as Wei Zong.Wei is always Wei Siqi's grandfather, and also Wei Gui's grandfather.

But now, Li Zhiyun is Wei Gui's husband, so he has to call Wei Ji and Wei Jin "grandfather-in-law".

"The two Yue ancestors were able to turn around and help the Tang army break through Luoyang. Their contribution is indispensable. When I return to Chang'an, this king will definitely show the merits of the two Yue ancestors in front of my father."

Wei Ji cupped his hands and said: "Don't dare, we went the wrong way, fortunately His Highness rescued us, I dare not ask for too much."

This is what he said in his heart, without humility.

This time Tang Jun broke Luoyang and they had little to do with them, he would not lick his face and ask for credit.

Li Zhiyun is not familiar with Wei Ji and Wei Jin, so we can only talk for a while. Most of the time, Wei Siqi blows Li Zhiyun's rainbow fart in front of Wei Ji and Wei Jin.

After a while, Li Zhen walked in with a woman from the outside.

"Big sister!"

Wei Siqi lost his voice when he saw the woman, and hurried up.

This woman is Wang Xuanying's wife Wei Puti, and similarly, she is also Wei Siqi's biological sister.

Wei Puti has a slender figure and an elegant face, and he looks like a beauty.

Seeing his younger brother Wei Siqi, Wei Puti also wept with joy, the tears welled up in his eyes.
