Unofficial History of the Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 27

Wei Zheng's four horses threw themselves into Tang Xuanshu and Yu Wende's plan together and said: "If Li Mi's soldiers come and surround Xu Cheng and Lin Shihao, we will divide into two teams and attack Li Mi's camp. Li Mi knows that he is afraid of gold." If there is a loss in Yong, you will definitely return to the army. Take advantage of your own momentum to attack, although you can't make a camp, you can completely win."

Xuan Shu and Zi Wende were immediately divided into two teams, and rushed to Li Mi's camp.

It turned out that Li Mi was also afraid of being tricked, so he sent people along the road to spread the news.When Li Mi was urging the battle, suddenly the meteor horse reported: Shichong's soldiers are going to attack Dazhai from two directions.Mi was shocked and said: "I guess the world is full of plans, but you don't believe it, and you missed a big deal!" Immediately he sent the army back, panicked and confused.On the left side at dusk, Lin Shihao concealed and killed the future from behind, and Shichong's soldiers stood out.

I saw the sound of thunder in mid-air, a group of men and horses, all with black and blue flags, came enthusiastically, and rushed to Shichong's soldiers, killing corpses all over the field, and all fell down.Wei Bing was defeated, and Shubao and Bodang saw the danger, so they ran to the small road in the mountains.The Yin soldiers also disappeared there.So the army won a big victory, and Shichong handed over to Zhao Rang to meet all the armies back.After a while of defeat, Li Mi went back to the stronghold and scolded the generals, saying: "You are brave and brave with your blood, and you are eager to fight, so you are defeated like this.

" Gather people and horses, walk into Jinyong, close the city gate and come out. Shichong ordered all the troops and horses to rush to the city.

But Li Mi was sitting in the hall, and suddenly heard the sound of cracking bamboo in the air. Mi was startled, and saw soldiers flying, holding bows and arrows, holding axes and knives.Quickly draw the Yitian sword and strike it in the air.Suddenly there was a loud sound, which shook the southwestern corner of the palace.Mi hurriedly turned into the back hall, but when he heard the shouts outside the hall, he rushed into the back hall.After walking a few steps, I saw a ghost standing in front of me holding a knife. Li Mi cut him off with the sword worn by others, and one of them fell with the blade on his head. Everyone saw him as a concubine. Blood to death.It was a night in the palace, and the warriors were ordered to stand around the palace with their spears and axes.Both Mi and the palace people saw ghosts coming, and Mi Yin drank back in the palace.After a night of madness and drunkenness, he rushed out of the palace the next morning, and when he turned around, the ghosts followed behind.Naturally, when sitting or eating, he often sees ghosts by his side.Mi consciously surprised.

Shichong besieged the Japanese army, and the shouts were loud, and all the generals gathered to discuss the strategy of retreating the enemy.When the generals were about to go out, they often saw countless ghosts, and they couldn't be caught off guard, and the army was panicked.Li Mi and Wang Bodang said: "Today there are Shichong's soldiers outside, and there are ghosts inside. They are entangled day and night and cannot be used. I live in the middle, and there is no rescue. What can I do?" I have no evil spirits." Mi said: "I have sworn to eradicate evil spirits all my life to clear the world. I have never seen any ghosts and evil spirits. Why are there so many today? Is it not God's will to kill me?" After saying that, he drew his sword and wanted to commit suicide.Bodang rushed forward, grabbed his sword and said, "Why did your lord seek death?

There are ups and downs in fashion, but is there no prosperity in human affairs?Don't make mistakes, but let's discuss. Mi said: "If the army can't fight, how can it survive?" "Bo Dang said: "I think the soldiers are coming to the city now, and our soldiers can't fight. The city will fall, so it's better to abandon the city and go away. "Mi said: "I want to do this, but I don't know where to vote? " Bodang said: "All countries are newly established, and there are many doubts about their ambitions, so they can't be attached to them.Also, the soldiers are strong and the generals are fierce, and their power and influence are greatly enhanced. Even the princes of a big country will stand on their elbows and knees. If they rule the world in the future, they will definitely be Tang.The great king returns to the Tang Dynasty without losing the title of king. Mi said: "I have imprisoned the people of the world in the past, and forged an eternal hatred. How can I be tolerated?"If you go there, even if Li Yuan sees him, the people of the world will not allow him. Will he be comfortable at that time?Wouldn't it be shameful to be in a dilemma when you are just like a sheep. "Bo Dang said: "What the king said is wrong.The ancients repaid grievances with virtue, and a gentleman does not miss old evils.The merciful Lord, what can you tolerate with others?Please do not doubt the king. Mi said: "Don't have any plans, you can think about it again." "Fang Yanzao said: "Loyal ministers do not matter to second monarchs, and martyrs do not become second husbands.As a courtier, you cannot support your lord. If you are wronged by a different master, you will be stigmatized, so you swear not to do it.Wouldn't it be beautiful to return home to my mother and be happy to keep my way. "

Shichong sent people to attack the city more urgently, so Yanzao led Pei Renji, Bing Yuanzhen, and Lu Wenche to pretend to be merchants, stole out of the north gate, and left first.People reported that Fang Yanzao led several people to disappear in the dark night.Mi said: "The thighs and arms have been separated, can An Neng revive?" Both Bodang and Zu Junyan strongly praised and voted for the Tang Dynasty. More than [-] people rushed out towards the north gate.At the same time, Shichong blocked Jiang Tai's way with his hands, patted his horse and wielded his sword, and took Li Mi directly.

The two battled together and were defeated. They went straight to the west road, and Wei Zheng and all the generals rushed there.Jiang Tai didn't rush either.Seeing that Li Mi had gone, the guarding military academy opened the city gate.Shichong's soldiers entered Jinyong, and the people greeted them with fragrant flowers, lanterns and candles.When Shichong went to the public hall to be promoted to the palace, all the officials worshiped and demoted to the lower ranks, but Shan Xiongxin closed his door and did not leave.The generals and schools wanted to kill him, but Shichong hurriedly sent an order saying: "If anyone harms this person, the three tribes of Yi!"Shichong came to invite him in person, and he was grateful for Shichong's kindness.The next day, a big banquet was held to reward the three armies.Shichong was based in Jinyong, and his surrendered generals and school, as well as the group of people who saw Luoyang in the old days, all reused them.

But it is said that Li Mi's men and horses came to Chang'an, traveled three hundred miles a day, and reached Guanzhong in a few days.

The army and horses were stationed in Shaolingyuan, and the secret envoy Zu Junyan entered Chang'an first, and reported that Wei envoy came to see His Majesty.

The emperor said: "Hurry up and come in!" Jun Yan went to the gate, and after the worship and dance ceremony, the emperor said: "What do you see?" The Yin soldiers help the battle, the soldiers are separated, Jinyong City was captured by Shichong, and they cannot stand on their own. Now I have [-] troops, and I wish to return to Your Majesty, and together they will become an emperor. Sending ministers to see you, like a child looking at his parents, only the sage will observe it." The emperor was furious and scolded, "Li Mi, I am also my enemy.

Just wanting to smash my head as a drowning vessel, I can't avenge my hatred, how can I accept it and make it belong to my right and left?
"Pei Jijin said: "What your majesty has done is small, but what you have lost is great."And the big man forgets his family for the country, and uses the virtuous to take revenge.What Bimi does is to be the ear of the king, and the righteous and wise man of the king will definitely use it.Why is your Majesty stuck in your heart and showing others that you are not broad? "

Wen Jing whispered to his ear: "Let Junyan go out temporarily, and I have a message to tell your majesty." The emperor called Junyan and said: "You go out of the court for a while, let me think about it." Junyan drove out.Wen Jing said: "Your Majesty is very powerful. Those who have defeated Shichong repeatedly and failed to Luoyang are because of Li Mi as a fence. Now Li Mi has been defeated by Shichong and has taken away the city. He has nowhere to go and nowhere to go when he retreats. He is in a dilemma. At this time, I have no choice but to attach myself to Your Majesty, sincerely make Your Majesty forget the old hatred, caress him with kindness, tie him with righteousness, talk to him, and attach him to him, he will be grateful and repay him, even if he dies through fire and water, it will be used by His Majesty Also. What Shichong relies on is denseness, the state of lips and teeth. If the density goes away, the lips will die and the teeth will follow the cold. Taking advantage of the cold and encouraging soldiers to advance, breaking the world is like changing ears from a strategic plan. .Today, Gou refuses to accept it, and makes Mifu occupy troops to vote for other countries, to form alliances for aid, and to plan great things. And the Sui Dynasty has not yet perished, but the Sui Dynasty will be added. The ancients have a saying: "If you don't take what you want, you will accept it instead." Calamity'. Your Majesty should give up his personal enmity, give it to him quickly, and forget the small anger to make a big plan. He is also a hero in the world."

The emperor heard Wen Jing's words, then realized, and said: "The words of Nayan are sincere." That is, Xuan Junyan went to the hall and said: "I am familiar with the words of Qing, and I hated Li Mi for having the hatred of imprisoning the King of Qin. I will not allow it to surrender; but the state employs people. , not hesitating old grudges. Qin Wang's enmity is one person's selfishness, the state employs people, and the world's public, how can it be mere revenge, and forget the greatness of the people? If the secret fruit has a sincere heart to me, please avoid the old anger If you come to surrender, you can quickly lead your troops to Chang'an to see him. If you can make meritorious service, we will share wealth and honor with you after peace in the future." Jun Yan took the order and paid his respects to Li Mi.Mi said: "According to Zi's words, I should lead the troops to surrender, but I am afraid that being quiet and scheming, and also nostalgic and resentful, will lure me into the country and cause harm, which is against the plan.

You can go further to find out the truth. "Jun Yan still came to see the emperor and said: "Li Mi is about to come and surrender, but he is afraid that your majesty and Nayan will still miss the old enmity and fall into a trap instead, so he is suspicious. The emperor said: "I want to win the trust of the world, but I am willing to break my promise?"A man's words are as important as Mount Tai. If he wants to kill Li Mi, there is no other way; if he lures and kills him, and makes people want to come down, they all use Li Mi as an excuse. Isn't it also self-serving? "The emperor was in the palace, so he broke the arrow as an oath and paid it to Junyan.

Jun Yan will fold the arrow to see the secret, and prepares to say that the emperor is so loyal.

Mi was overjoyed. He made an appointment with all the generals. He led [-] horses and marched into Chang'an to see the emperor. With all my heart, I will try to build a little merit, and repay Your Majesty's grace of not killing.

Fortunately, it is included and driven by anyone. "Wei Zheng, Wang Gui, and Bodang several ministers were cited to see each other. They reported their names and worshiped each other. The emperor was overjoyed, so he worshiped Mi as Guangluqing, and he was named Xing Guogong. They respected each other very much. The emperor dialed a mansion, number It is the Xing Mansion, with palaces and palaces, just like the residence of a prince. It is extremely gorgeous and densely populated. Its officials, etc., are still in their old positions, and they are all ordered to follow the Xing Mansion. At that time, the emperor had a cousin, Princess Dugu, who was 28 years old. He has the beauty of the sky and the country, performs the rituals of Tibet, and has the four virtues. Shaoshi Dong Wenrui, because of Wenrui's death, he has been widowed for several years, and he will not marry. He said that he has three things, and we will marry him: the first is to be famous in the world, and to be talented. Outstanding; the second is to have the same surname as brother Li Yuan; the third is to be both civil and military. The emperor sees that the secret is commensurate, so he asks Pei Ji to be a matchmaker to marry Li Mi. Then give it to a beautiful woman. Li Quan's poem says: Wei Gongsheng is worth a thousand gold, unexpectedly Vote for Tang Ruoyu lightly.

Gaozu treated him with vain courtesy, and the king of Qin complained and was merciless.

General comment: There are worlds besieging outside, and ghosts are entangled inside. Jinyong will never be guaranteed. It is better to invest in Tang Dynasty to build it.And Shichong's reliance on Mier, if the Mier is removed, the lips will die and the teeth will become cold.The emperor not only accepts his surrender, but also regards his wife as Princess Dugu. How can the value of Wei Gong's voice be moved?
