When Li Shimin heard what Li Jiancheng said, he felt that this was a bit strange.
But this was Li Yuan's direct order after all, and he couldn't say anything else.
Although Li Shimin had the idea of whether Li Jiancheng was fabricating Li Yuan's edict, he thought again that although Li Jiancheng was arbitrary, he was respectful to his father, Li Yuan, and never dared to deceive superiors or lie, nor would he fake Li Yuan's edicts.
Things are coming.
So Li Shimin ordered the military academy generals Li Mi, Wei Zheng and others to be summoned.
In front of Li Jiancheng, he told the two of Li Yuan's intentions, and then said, "I'm sorry, my father arranged this for the sake of the Wagang Army's situation.
After all, our Tang State is still nominally a vassal of the Sui Ting.
If you are arranged like this, Being close to the Sui Kingdom, I am afraid that the Tang State will suddenly attack you, in which case it will be difficult for us, the Tang State, to do anything."
Li Mi quickly said: "Your Majesty, you are too polite.
We who have surrendered have nothing to say.
We have surrendered to the King of Tang.
Of course we respect the King of Tang's order.
I will go wherever the King of Tang sends me."
We, the Wagang brothers, can’t thank you enough for not breaking up.”
His explanation made Li Shimin feel a little embarrassed.
He quickly took Li Mi's hand and said, "That's great.
From now on, you and I will be colleagues of the Tang State, but we are all serving the Tang State loyally and working together for a great cause.
Even though we are separated by thousands of mountains, Wan Shui, there will be a time when we will meet again."
Li Jian on the side sneered in his heart and thought to himself: Li Er, you can't wait to win over people's hearts and cultivate your own power.
It's a pity that I can't do what you want But with a friendly smile on his face, he said: "Second brother, two generals, it's early winter now.
The weather looks like it's going to snow soon.
So I have to get on my way as soon as possible, otherwise Once the snow falls and the mountains are closed, the trip will be delayed.”
Li Shimin responded: "Brother, don't worry, I will prepare the itinerary for the Wagang brothers.
I have prepared a banquet.
After the banquet, the army will set off."
At Li Jiancheng's urging, after the lunch that day, Li Mi ordered the Wagang generals and the three armies to drive toward the Taihang Mountains under the guidance of Li Jiancheng.
They would enter Jinzhou through Jingxing.
On the second day of the army's march, the ten-mile-long army in front and behind them all burrowed into the Jingxing Mountain Road like a long snake.
Jingxing is two hundred miles long, and it will take at least two days and one night to completely cross it.
That night, 50,000 troops camped in the open along the Jingxing Mountain Road.
Along the Shanxing were bonfires used by the soldiers to keep warm and cook, illuminating the entire valley.
At this time, there were soldiers for Li Jiancheng, Li Mi and other senior generals set up a tent and lit a stove.
Li Jiancheng ordered his guards to bring the wine and food that had been prepared and set a table, and invited Li Mi, Wei Zheng and some senior Wagang generals to drink.
After three glasses of wine, everyone started talking more.
First, they chatted with each other.
Then they talked about the glorious history of the Wagang Army.
At this time, Li Jiancheng suddenly changed the topic and asked sternly with a change of tone: "Li Mi, can you have a deal with my second brother Li Shimin?"
The expressions of everyone in the tent changed, and they didn't understand what Li Jiancheng meant.
Li Mi asked with an unhappy expression: "What does the prince mean by this?"
Li Jiancheng laughed coldly and said: "Let me ask you, is it you who came to join the Tang army on your own initiative, or is it Li Shimin who has contacted you a long time ago?
Did my second brother win over you and others as cronies for his use?"
After hearing this, Li Mi felt a rush of blood rush to his forehead.
He had been rebelling against the king a few days ago, and a year ago he was the most powerful rebel against the king in the world.
This psychological role has not been changed yet.
At this time, if a young man is asking such a question, can he be angry?

The generals behind him are also angry and angry, with their eyes wide open, and some people even put their hands on the handles of their swords.
Li Miteng stood up suddenly and was about to scold Li Jiancheng, but suddenly he felt a surge of blood in his chest and his head felt dizzy.
He pointed at Li Jiancheng and said, "You thief, what did you put in the drink?"
Then he sat down again with a thud.
The generals behind him also suffered from the same symptoms.
They were all unsteady when sitting or standing, swaying around, and some of them foamed at the mouth and passed out.
Li Jiancheng laughed and said to Li Mi: "You were right to vote for our Tang army, but your mistake was that you should not have voted for Li Shimin.
Now use your head to serve our Tang army."
After saying this, he drew out his sharp saber, and in a few steps he He rushed forward and chopped off Li Mi's head with one blow.
The swordsmen and axemen who had been ambushing outside the big tent rushed into the camp almost at the same time, and chopped off the heads of the Wagang Army generals one by one.
Blood was immediately spattered everywhere on the curtains and tables.
When a swordsman slashed at a man who looked like a scribe in soap robes, Li Jiancheng shouted: "Wait a minute for this man to stay."
The swordsman quickly stopped the sword that he had swung away.
The soldiers of General Wagang who were guarding outside were also attacked and killed by the swarming Tang soldiers with swords and shields.
They reacted quickly and quickly raised their swords to fight, but they were outnumbered and were soon chopped down to the ground by the swords.
Only two or three people rushed out of Li Jiancheng's temporary camp and ran backwards along the mountain.
As they ran, they shouted: "The Tang Army has killed the lord.
The Tang Army has changed its mind.
The Tang Army has come to kill us.
Hurry up and get ready."
The Wagang soldiers who were resting around the campfire along the way heard the news one after another, and stood up one after another.
Some picked up their weapons, and some looked around in confusion, at a loss.
At this time, countless torches suddenly lit up on the slopes on both sides of the valley, and together with the bonfires at the bottom of the valley, the entire valley was brightly lit.
Under the torches, layers upon layers of Tang Army crossbowmen opened their bows and fired their crossbows, aiming their arrows at the panicked Wagang soldiers at the bottom of the valley.
The person commanding this Tang army was Li Yuanji, Li Jiancheng's most trusted brother.
At this time, Li Yuanji made a gesture.
Every mile a Tang army soldier with a loud voice began to shout to the bottom of the valley: "Brothers of the Wagang Army, there is no need to panic.
We, the Tang Army, have been ordered by the emperor to kill the bandit leader Li Mi and others.
Now as long as you hand over your weapons and join our Tang Army, you will be pardoned and will not pursue the past, otherwise there will be no mercy. ” In the night sky, after such shouting echoed several times in the valley, only silence remained.
The Wagang soldiers were stunned, and the air seemed to be frozen.
Suddenly a man who looked like a leader shouted: "Brothers, don't be fooled.
Who knows if this Tang army is deceiving us.
The Lord led us to surrender to the Tang army, but we were still killed by the Tang army.
How can we still trust them.
Take Use your sword and gun to fight them."
With a whoosh, a sharp arrow flew towards the man, hitting him right in the face.
He suddenly stopped talking and fell to the ground on his back.
The entire Wagang Army suddenly became commotion again, and with this point as the center, the commotion quickly spread to the front and rear of the team.
These Wagang soldiers were yelling and quarreling, and some of them even started to move to the hillsides on both sides, intending to attack the Tang army
