Chapter 380 Li Mi's Heartfelt Voice
Li Chongjiu followed Wang Bodang to a separate courtyard.

Li Chongjiu saw that the other courtyard was surrounded by soldiers of the Wagang Army in strong attire, with three steps, one guard and five steps, one post, armed with steel knives, bows and crossbows, guarding them tightly.

"Duke Wei is inside, please go to Shanggu Gong." Wang Bodang stopped and said beside the door.

Li Chongjiu nodded and entered the courtyard, his heart was full of vigilance, although he didn't think Li Mi would do anything to him.But when he came to Duke Wei's mansion today, he was still wearing a soft armor, which can hold bows and crossbow arrows, and he also hid a short knife in his boots, just in case.

Passing through a corner door, Li Mi was sitting leisurely in a pavilion, with a small stove next to it, under which water was boiling, and the goose feather fan, which he had always cherished and used to guide the world, was actually used To fan the stove.

Seeing Li Mi like this, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but smile, his vigilance eased a bit, and he went up to the front and said, "Duke Wei, I'm having a good time."

Li Mi didn't raise his head, and said with full concentration: "Brother, I'm making tea, so I don't have time, my brother, please do it yourself."

Li Chongjiu nodded, walked to the pavilion, sat down on the reed mat next to Li Mi, and watched Li Mi concentrate on making tea.

After tinkering for a while, Li Mi finally produced a pot of dark green strong tea. He took out two teacups and poured them for Li Chongjiu and himself.

Li Mi's tea ceremony is far from Qu Yanran's, but Li Mi enjoyed himself, put the goose feather fan aside, poured a cup of tea into his belly, said hello immediately, and then drank three cups in a row despite the heat.

Li Chongjiu also had a drink with Li Mi.

After drinking three cups of tea, Li Mi sweated slightly on his forehead. He picked up the feather fan and shook it slightly, saying: "Look how beautiful the courtyard is, especially in autumn. A few years ago, when I was not in Wagang Village, , was wanted by the imperial court. At that time, the Duke of Yue was defeated, and I sought shelter everywhere. When I escaped to Huaiyang, I saw the autumn scenery at that time. , I can’t get rid of the depression in my heart and write a poem.”

Li Chongjiu said: "Could it be that this poem is Huaiyang's feelings?"

Li Mi shook his feather fan, nodded and said, "Yes, you know it too, my dear brother. Of course my poems are not as good as yours, but they express emotion through scenery and ambition through emotion."

Li Mi said in a long voice: "The customs of the Qin Dynasty are still unresolved, so what is the general of the Han Dynasty?

When Li Chongjiu heard Li Mi read this poem, one can imagine Li Mi's mood at that time. At that time, Yang Xuangan was defeated and Li Mi was arrested by the court. , an opportunity to become famous all over the world.

But now this is a very ambitious poem, but hearing Li Mi say it now, the words are quite bleak.

Li Mi said: "Right now, although I have tens of thousands of powerful soldiers and Li Yang is standing guard, why is it not as good as when I had nothing at the beginning, do you know why?"

Li Chongjiu said: "Could it be that although the imperial court was strong at that time, I knew it was about to fall. The great Sui Guozuo had only been around for a few years, and the world would inevitably be in chaos. It was the time when all the heroes rose together. Therefore, although Duke Wei was in trouble, he still Looking for opportunities. But right now..."

Li Mi nodded and said: "Those who know me, weigh nine, tell the truth to my virtuous brother, just as Jia Yi said in the theory of Qin, why did Qin defeat the six heroes and rule the world when there were only six kingdoms in the world?" , but when Qin ruled the world, he was defeated by Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, who were far inferior to the Six Kingdoms. Can you know a thing or two? Because victory or defeat does not depend on strength or weakness at the moment, but on power."

"My current power, Li Mi, is far greater than when Wagang was first raised, but now the hearts of my subordinates have dispersed, and everyone's thoughts have turned to Tang. In short, Mi's current situation is that the general situation is gone."

Li Chongjiu couldn't help sighing slightly, Li Mi finally thought that the Wagang Army's situation was over, and its ambitions dissipated.

Speaking of this, Li Mi closed his eyes, and said: "Mi has always thought highly of himself, but thinking about it today, I am not as good as Li Yuan. After defeating Zhang Xutuo and returning to Luocang, he thought that no one could stop him. Listening to Li Yuan's words, rashly attacking Dongdu finally made a big mistake, thinking about it today, I really regret that I didn't listen to the words of my good brother to attack Hebei, even Shandong, and then follow Dongdu's words."

Li Chongjiu said: "Wei Gong's words are serious. If there is no Wei Gong in the world to attack the Eastern Capital and lead the Sui army to attract heavy troops, given the vastness of the world, there will always be one or two outstanding people in the court. The second Zhang Xutuo, Xue Shixiong, will come out. Defeat the anti-kings everywhere, and then Li Yuan and I will not know where we are."

Hearing Li Chongjiu's words, Li Mi felt a little better, and said, "But in the end I was defeated, and I was defeated by Wang Shichong who looked down on me in the past. The matter has come to this point, I seem to have no choice but to vote for Li Tang. Unless... Unless my virtuous brother is willing to lend me Youzhou as a place to live."

Li Mi said that he looked at Li Chongjiu at this time.

Li Chongjiu could see the left and right guards walking around the courtyard with knives on their hands.Li Chongjiu raised his cup and drank the tea, and replied decisively: "Wei Gong, if you can't even guard Li Yang right now, how about Youzhou?"

Li Mi listened to Li Chongjiu's words, and then smiled and said: "Don't blame my brother, what I said just now is just a joke. Just now I have reached an agreement with Li Shimin. I, Li Mi, will lead the people into Guanzhong and vote for Li Yuan."
"Duke Wei really decided to do this?"

Li Mi said: "What else can I do? The fate belongs to Li Yuan. Whether it is Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, or Du Fuwei, he is no match for him. The person who stops Li Tang, even if you are a virtuous brother, you can't do it."

"Brother, I would like to advise you that the general trend cannot be violated. Li Shimin once told me that Li Yuan promised that as long as you are willing to lead Youzhou to surrender, how about letting go of the past for all grievances and grievances?"

Li Chongjiu laughed when he heard the words, and said, "Wei Gong, do you believe Li Yuan's words?"

Li Mi smiled and said, "My dear brother, this is the last condition Li Tang offered."

Li Chongjiu said: "Duke Wei, please forgive me for telling the truth. At this point, Li Tang and I have no room for change. Although I am a commoner, I know Tian Heng's ambition. If Duke Wei can take care of us both friendship, then stop persuading me."

Li Mi said hahaha: "As expected, it is exactly as King Qin expected. King Qin said that Li Chongjiu is his close friend. This man has a firm heart and will never surrender to my Tang Dynasty. He said that if you don't surrender, you will let me Invite you to Guanzhong and persuade him slowly."

Li Chongjiu sneered when he heard the words, this time he came to Duke Wei's mansion, he was not in Jinyang Palace.Wang Junkuo had persuaded Xu Shiji to stand by and watch, while Wang Mahan secretly left the city at this moment, leading Li Chongjiu's [-] cavalry outside the city.

Once there is a change, Wang Junkuo will lead the dead to open the city gate, Wang Mahan will rush into Liyang City, and then both sides will fight to the death.

Li Chongjiu's eyes suddenly brightened.

But at this time Li Mi suddenly burst out laughing, and said: "Don't be alarmed, brother, even if Mi is really an ungrateful person, he will not do the thing of Han Xin killing Zhong Lixuan."
