Life of the characters
Of noble birth
Li Mi's great ancestor was situ Li Bi, one of the eight kingdoms in the Western Wei Dynasty. He was given the surname Tu he, the Grand Master of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Duke of the state of Wei. His grandfather, Li Yao (the son of Li Bi, a famous general in the Western Wei Dynasty), was the Taibao and xingguogong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. His father, Li Kuan, was the Duke of Pushan County in the Sui Dynasty.
Li Mi is good at planning, both civil and military, ambitious, and often takes saving the world and helping the people as his own responsibility. In kaihuang, the Duke of Pushan was the prime minister. So he distributed his family property, gave relief to his relatives and friends, adopted his disciples, treated the talented people with courtesy, and never spared money. Later, he turned to military books, especially liked military books and could recite them. Bao Kai, an assistant teacher of Guozi, was very excited and tired after listening to his lectures on historical records and Hanshu. Bao Kai's other disciples are all under him.
At the beginning of Daye, he served as the governor of zuozhiwei's mansion and a thousand oxen in Donggong. The sharp angle of forehead is square, and the pupil is clear in black and white. Once emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty saw him in the Yi Wei. When he returned to the palace, he asked Yu Wen, "who is the black faced child in the guard team on the left just now?" Yu Wenshu replied, "he is the son of Li Kuan, the late Duke of Pushan. His name is Li mi." Sui Yangdi said: "the child's look is very unusual. Don't let him be a guard in the palace." Later, Yu Wenshu said to Li Mi, "a virtuous younger brother has such a good talent that he should get an official position based on his talent and learning. The palace guard is a trivial job, not a place to cultivate virtuous talents." Li mi was very happy, so he quit his job and devoted himself to study. People seldom see him. He once planned to visit Bao Kai. He rode a cattle with a cushion of papyrus on its back. He also hung a set of Hanshu on the horn of the cattle, holding the rope in one hand and reading the book in the other.
Fighting against Sui Dynasty
When Yang sutu, the Duke of Yue, passed by Li Mi's seclusion, he saw that Li mi was studying hard. He tightened his rein and followed him slowly. After catching up with him, he asked, "where are the scholars who are so eager to learn?" Li mi knew Yang Su and quickly went down to the ox to pay homage twice and announced his name. When Yang Su asked him what he read, Li mi replied, "biography of Xiang Yu.". Yang Su was surprised at him and had a very pleasant talk with him. To his son Yang Xuangan and others said: "I see Li Mi's knowledge and bearing, you can't catch up." So Yang Xuangan and Li mi fell in love.
In 613, Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty conquered Koguryo and sent Yang Xuangan to supervise military supplies transportation in Liyang. At this time, the world was in turmoil. Yang Xuangan planned to set up an army and secretly sent people to Chang'an to meet Li Mi and let him take charge of the planning work. After Li mi arrived, he offered three strategies to Yang Xuangan: the best strategy was to attack Zhuo county and seize Yuguan (today's mountain customs), so that the Sui army would break up outside the pass; the middle strategy was to attack Chang'an and occupy Guanzhong to fight against Sui Yang emperor; the worst strategy was to attack Luoyang.
After listening to the three strategies, Yang Xuangan said, "the worst strategy you said is the best one. Now the families of the courtiers are all in Luoyang. If they don't capture it, how can they influence the world? And when you pass through the town without attacking, how can you show your power? " Li Mi's strategy was not carried out.
Yang Xuan felt that after Luoyang, he even won several battles. He thought that all the people in the world would respond to him and win the world sooner or later. After seizing Wei Fu, the Sui Dynasty's NEISHI sheriff, he handed over the confidential affairs to him. From then on, Li mi did not preside over the major events of the war. Wei Fu Si was not an accomplice originally, but was captured because of the defeat in the war. Whenever he discussed the strategy, he always held an ambiguous attitude. Yang Xuangan later asked him to draft a notice, but Wei Fu Si resolutely refused. Li mi speculated on his mind and said to Yang Xuangan, "Wei Fu Si was not a comrade originally. In fact, he had a wait-and-see attitude. You just raised the flag of righteousness, but you let the spy stay by your side. He must be responsible for something. Please decapitate him to apologize to the people, and the people will be stable. " Yang Xuangan said: "how can it be like this?" Li mi knew that it was useless to say so, and privately said to those close to him, "what should Yang Chu Gong do if he likes to rebel but doesn't intend to succeed? We will be captives Later, Yang Xuangan prepared to march westward, and Wei Fushi eventually fled back to Luoyang.
Li Zixiong, a general of zuowuwei in the Sui Dynasty, was arrested and escorted to Emperor Yang's palace. On the way, he killed the escorting officer and fled to Yang Xuangan, persuading him to become emperor. Yang Xuangan asked Li Mi for advice. Li mi said: "at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng wanted to be king, but Zhang Er dissuaded him, so he was driven away. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao was prepared to coerce Xiandi into giving clothes, Zhuhu, Nabi, chariots and horses, Leze, Huben, axes and axes, bows and arrows, hejuyu and other nine utensils as exercises to seize power, so Xun Yu was alienated. Today, if I speak frankly, I'm afraid I'll follow the old way of Zhang Er and Xun Yu. If flattery follows you, it's not my intention. Why? Since the beginning of the war, although the victory has been frequent, but to the county, no one has responded. Luoyang's defensive force is relatively strong, and more and more reinforcements are provided. You should take the lead to pacify Guanzhong as soon as possible, but you want to be emperor. Why should you show people that you have a small capacity? " Yang Xuangan gave up with a smile.
Wisdom out of tiger's mouth
Sui generals Yu Wen Shu, Lai hu'er and others are coming to lead the army. Yang Xuangan asks, "what's the solution?" Li mi said: "yuan Hongsi is commanding a powerful army in Longyou. Now he can pretend that he wants to rebel and send envoys to meet you. With this reason, he can lead his troops into Tongguan and hide from the masses of soldiers." So he took the team and retreated westward. When he arrived in Shanxian County, Yang Xuan felt that he was besieging Hongnong palace. Li mi admonished him: "now you are coaxing the soldiers to retreat to Tongguan. If you do this well, you have to do it quickly. Besides, if the pursuit is coming soon, how can you stay! If we can't defend Tongguan in advance, and if we can't defend Tongguan in retreat, what can we do to protect ourselves once the soldiers escape? " Yang Xuangan didn't listen, so he went to siege Hongnong palace. After three days of siege, he didn't conquer it, so he took the team to the West. When he arrived in Wenxiang County, the pursuers came, and Yang Xuangan was defeated. Li mi entered Tongguan secretly and was caught by the pursuers.
At that time, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was in Gaoyang County. Li Mi and his accomplices were to be escorted there. He said to his accomplices, "our lives are like dew in the morning. If we are sent to Gaoyang, we will be chopped into meat sauce. Now on the road, we can think of a way, how can we send them to be tortured without trying to escape! " Everyone agreed. Most of them have money. Li mi told them to light up in front of the escorting officials and said, "after we die, please use this as money for burial, and the rest will repay you for your kindness." The escorting officials were lured by money and agreed to them. After leaving Tongguan, Li mi gradually relaxed his guard. Li mi asked to buy wine and vegetables, eat and drink every night, make a lot of noise all night, and escort the officials not to take this seriously. When they got to Handan County, Li Mi and other seven men ran through the wall and went to join Hao Xiaode, the rebel leader in Pingyuan county. Hao Xiaode had little respect for him, so Li mi left.
In Huaiyang County, he was anonymous and called himself Liu Zhiyuan. After a few months of this, I was depressed and wrote a five character poem Huai Yang Huai Huai Huai. After the poem was finished, I shed tears. A man who thought he was acting abnormally reported the incident to Zhao Tuo, the prefect of Huaiyang. Zhao Tuo sent people to search for him in this county and the surrounding counties, and Li mi fled again.
Strengthen Wagang
In 616, Zhai rang launched a peasant uprising in Dongjun (now Huaxian County, Henan Province). He took Wagang Village (south of Huaxian county) in Weicheng as his base, so he called it Wagang army. Li mi defected to Zhai rang's army. Some people knew that Li mi was Yang Xuangan's escape department, and privately encouraged Zhai rang to kill him. Zhai rang imprisoned Li mi outside the military camp.
Li mi approached Zhai rang through Wang bodang's strategy and said: "now the emperor is fatuous and the people resent him. He has used up all his elite troops in Liaodong and cut off friendly relations with Turks. Now he is touring Yangzhou and Yuezhou, leaving Luoyang Chang'an behind. This is also the time to fight for the world like Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. It is more than enough to destroy the Sui Dynasty with your great talent and strong troops to capture Chang'an in Luoyang and eliminate the ferocious forces. " Zhai rang was greatly respected and immediately released him. He was sent to lobby the small voluntary army and came to surrender as soon as he said it.
Li mi also suggested to Zhai rang, "there are a lot of people now, but there is no place to get food and grass. If we delay for a long time, we will be exhausted. Once the enemy arrives, we will fail in a few days! It's better to capture Xingyang directly, recuperate the troops, collect food and grass, wait until the troops are strong, and then fight with others
