Almost as soon as Li Mi and others left Chang'an, Li Yuan issued an edict. King Qin Li Shimin took charge of the marching general of Shaanxi Province, led the right guard of Tiance Mansion, Duan Zhixuan, the hussar general, Yuhou Hou of Tiance Mansion, and Hou Jun, the chariot general.
Assembled and discussed with the official Liu Shirang, Murong Luohu, Zhai Changsun and others went north to Longmen.
In fact, Li Shimin didn't stay in Chang'an for long, but the traces he left in Chang'an City were much heavier than before.
The Tiance Mansion stands out in the capital, almost on par with the Prince's East Palace. Everyone in the Tiance Mansion has military exploits, and their unruly qualities are hard to describe.
During the days when Li Shimin was in the capital, King Qi Li Yuanji was huddled in his mansion, barely leaving the palace. In fact, what he was afraid of was meeting people from Prince Qin's mansion on the street. If there was a conflict, there might be someone with no eyesight.
The guy who doesn't want his life is going to give him a knife.
When Li Shimin left Beijing, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, at this time, many of the former members of the King of Qin who were in prison awaiting trial were released and followed Li Shimin out of the capital to lead troops.
The guards at Prince Qin's Mansion have also become tighter, and it is unlikely that anyone will dare to break into Prince Qin's Mansion again.
The most noteworthy things these days are actually the Shangyi Tongyu scholar who became friends with Wei Zheng in the East Palace and changed his position to the Prince of Qin's palace, and went out of the capital with Li Shimin as a military commander.
Prince Qin's face was slapped before, but now he slapped him back with a backhand, which was quite painful.
Because this disciple of Yuwen Clan is different from others.
He is the younger brother of Yu Wenji, and his wife is also Princess Nanyang of the Sui Dynasty. His status in the Yuwen clan is evident.
On that day, Yu Wenhuaji killed Yang Guang in Jiangdu and then led his army northward. Yu Wenshiji left his brother halfway and joined Li Mi's command.
After Li Mi returned to the Tang Dynasty, Yu Wenshiji was also sent to Li Yuan. After some words, Li Yuan treated him very kindly and often took him with him. Soon he became one of the emperor's close ministers.
This man joined the Prince of Qin's Palace. Whether it was a trick or the emperor's spy, it is said that as soon as he joined Li Shimin's command, he was appreciated by Li Shimin. Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others also praised him.
At this time, Tiance Mansion was in its prime, and there were countless people who followed the trend, including Yuwenshi and one.
And this time Li Shimin went to Beijing to lead the troops, he was definitely not unprepared. In addition to recruiting 6,000 soldiers from the Guanxi Prefecture in Jingzhao, there were also 2,000 guards from various major military mansions accompanying the army.
These can be said to be the essence of the Kansai army, and Li Shimin's pro-army is also composed of 3,000 northwest cavalry. These cavalry were carefully selected by Li Shimin from the northwest army. Only part of them were brought to the capital, and the rest were stationed in the capital.
In Chang'an County.
And these three thousand Xuanjia troops are Li Shimin's most reliable military force.
Li Shimin led more than ten thousand soldiers and horses away, and then Prince Li Jiancheng also left the capital for Tongguan.
Soon Li Yuan ordered Qi King Li Yuanji and Minister of War Qu Tutong to lead troops to the northwest to prevent Li Gui from Xiliang from advancing eastward.
Then, Li Yuan ordered Liu Hongji and Dugu Mou to each lead 5,000 troops to reinforce Shu.
At this time, we can actually see it more clearly. Although Tiance Mansion is in the limelight for a while, in fact, the power of the East Palace is steadily expanding, and it has taken a lot of benefits in this competition.
After all, Li Jiancheng was more than ten years older than Li Shimin, and with Li Yuan's full support, he was able to gain the upper hand without any fuss.
Speaking of which, these two brothers look quite similar to the prince Yang Yong and his younger brother Yang Guang during the Sui Dynasty.
Yang Yong made a lot of contributions when Yang Jian ascended the throne, and he was much older than Yang Guang. If Yang Jian had not been suspicious of the meritorious officials in his later years, Yang Yong's crown prince would not have been so easily shaken.
The situation now is really similar to that then. As long as Li Yuan's mind remains unchanged, Li Shimin doesn't seem to have much chance at all.
It's just that Li Jiancheng is not Yang Yong, Li Shimin is not Yang Guang, and Li Yuan is not Yang Jian, so no matter how similar the situations are, the outcome depends on each person's methods.
……………………
In August of the second year of Tang Wude's reign, a group of hundreds of people left Tongguan in a hurry.
After traveling for more than ten miles, the speed slowed down slightly. Li Mi looked back. After a long time, he slowly exhaled a white breath.
This is a thin middle-aged man with deep grooves on his face, and every texture seems to tell the story of his wonderful first half of life.
He was in his prime, and the flame of ambition had covered almost every part of his body. His eyes were cold and persistent, and his endless madness was hidden in his silence.
At this time, although the Henan King's body was cold and his face was a little numb from the cold, he felt really happy in his heart.
In his opinion, leaving Tongguan is like a dragon entering the sea, and he will never go back to the boring Chang'an.
He looked around slightly, feeling quite relieved. When he left Chang'an, there were only a dozen people following him, but when he passed Tongguan, more than 300 people returned to his old master.
This cannot be compared with the thousands of troops at the beginning, but these are Li Mi's most loyal subordinates.
When Yang Gong was defeated, he, Li Mi, traveled thousands of miles alone and fell down on the road. The desolate and lonely place was still worse than now. So, this is nothing. As long as he, Li Mi, is still alive, with his talent, sooner or later
There is a time for a comeback.
He is not the overlord Xiang Yu. Once defeated, it will be difficult to stand up...
Wang Shichong...Li Mi thought disdainfully, sooner or later he would avenge his shame and capture and kill this thief. Well, there is also Li Yuan. It is really ridiculous to be crowned as a monkey.
"Wei Gong, let's go south now..."
Wang Bodang looked at Li Mi's expression carefully. After leaving Tongguan, the familiar Duke of Wei seemed to be back again, which made Wang Bodang a little frightened.
They had already discussed on the road that they could not stay in the hinterland of Henan for long. Although Li Mi was confident, as long as he raised his hand and shouted, he would definitely follow the call. But in fact, it is difficult to say what the situation would be, because if Wang Shichong knew
If we hear the news about Li Mi's return to Henan, we will definitely send troops to pursue him, and we will definitely not give this great enemy a chance to rise again.
Li Mi and Wang Bodang discussed it several times, and both agreed that they should first go south to Xiangcheng to find his old subordinate Zhang Shanxiang, recruit him, and then try to revive him.
The others had no objections. As for the bullshit ambassador of Henan, no one noticed it.
After following Wei Gong back to Henan, they didn't even think about going back to work as cattle or horses for Li Tang.
The sound of horse hooves and chaotic footsteps sounded, and a cloud of smoke was kicked up on the desolate land of Henan. They were heading south in a hurry. Apparently they were also afraid that the people from Tongguan would catch up.
In fact, Li Yuan did not issue an edict to recover Li Mi, and after Li Jiancheng arrived at Tongguan, he did not think of sending anyone to hunt down the fugitives, just as if this incident had never happened.
But soon, the news reached the ears of Wang Shichong of Luoyang, and Li Mi rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and left without knowing his whereabouts.
